Chapter 466 Xiao Yan's Alchemy Skills

During the five-day competition, a few alchemists did succeed in refining pills.

However, when they saw the pills take shape, they knew that their journey in this grand event was about to end.

Because it is well known that the refining of high-level pills takes longer, and the pills they refined...

This basically means that they can only play the role of the bottom in this fierce competition.

The eyes of the audience did not stay on those few people for a long time because they successfully refined pills.

Most of the eyes were focused on Cao Ying, Dan Chen and those famous alchemy masters.

And Xiao Ling, who occupied the most prominent position in this alchemy meeting, undoubtedly became the most watched focus...

These spectators knew in their hearts that the competition between these seeded players was the real factor that determined the excitement of this alchemy meeting.

Every operation and every refining of them touched the heartstrings of everyone present.

…

During these five days, which were neither long nor short, Xiao Ling was completely immersed in the process of extracting medicinal materials. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, without any mistakes.

Although the number of medicinal materials to be extracted was so large that one could hardly see the end at a glance, Xiao Ling, with his focused attitude and powerful soul power, performed every link almost perfectly.

His technique was skillful and precise, and each extraction was like an artist's careful carving, showing his unrestrained meaning, which made all the spectators amazed.

With the extraction of the last drop of medicinal liquid completed, the next step was to skillfully blend these refined medicinal liquids together, calcine them into the prototype of the elixir, and finally make the elixir.

This process is extremely demanding, and any slight mistake may lead to all previous efforts being wasted.

In such a fleeting moment of leisure, Xiao Ling's eyes quickly swept over and cast on Cao Ying, Dan Chen and others in the distance.

Their expressions at this moment were also serious and focused, and everyone was carefully controlling the flame in the medicine cauldron.

In the flickering firelight, one could vaguely sense a strong energy fluctuation, spreading out from the inside of the medicine cauldron like a tide...

From the energy fluctuations emanating from their medicine cauldrons, one could clearly sense that the quality of the pills they were refining was by no means ordinary.

However, Xiao Ling only needed to casually identify them to have a deep understanding of their essence. Although these pills were extraordinary, they had not yet reached the eighth-grade five-color level.

Compared to the eighth-grade nine-color reincarnation soul-shaping pill that Xiao Ling was about to refine, even if these pills were successfully produced, they were obviously far behind.

Nevertheless, these pills were still outstanding masterpieces among the works of many alchemists. If they were at the previous alchemy conference, they might have really won the first prize.

However, unfortunately, they met Xiao Ling, a genius who could be called a demon.

Under his brilliance, the efforts and fantasies of others seemed to have become dim.

Facing the eighth-grade nine-color reincarnation soul-shaping pill that Xiao Ling was about to refine, their hopes and dreams were like bubbles, destined to be regretfully shattered in this ruthless reality...

After Xiao Ling looked around, he gently relaxed his slightly tired spirit and whispered a few words to the little mink beside him.

Then, he did not stay any longer, threw all distracting thoughts behind his mind, and devoted himself to the vast project of refining pills again.

Xiao Ling's palms clenched lightly, and with the control of his mind, the dark golden fire in the medicine cauldron seemed to be awakened. It surged out in an instant.

The flame rolled, wrapping all the liquid medicine that had been carefully refined in the past few days, like an invisible net, locking every drop of essence firmly.

The process of fusing the medicinal power is the ultimate test of the alchemist's control, reaching an extremely demanding standard.

During this period, any slight mistake may lead to failure, making all previous efforts go to waste.

Therefore, the importance of this step cannot be overemphasized.

It is like a watershed on the road of alchemy, with the peak of success on one side and the abyss of failure on the other. Every step must be taken with caution and without error.

Xiao Ling naturally understood this point very well. This time, he refined a nine-color eighth-grade elixir, which has reached the pinnacle of the eighth-grade elixir. The difficulty of refining it can be imagined, and it is far beyond the ordinary eighth-grade level.

Therefore, at this critical moment, his mind was concentrated to an unprecedented height, and the vast soul power permeated every corner of the medicine cauldron, like an invisible net, firmly controlling the world inside the medicine cauldron.

In this tense atmosphere, any tiny change in the medicine cauldron could not escape Xiao Ling's perception. Every trace of the fusion of medicinal power, every flicker of flame, was instantly transmitted to his mind, very clear.

Under Xiao Ling's rigor and concentration, the fusion process of medicinal power was naturally as expected and very smooth.

Although the progress of this process was really too slow, at such a critical moment, who would dare to speed up rashly? Steady progress is the highest guiding principle at this time.

The process of fusing medicinal power is the longest one among the many steps of alchemy.

Xiao Ling's fusion operation this time took nearly ten days before it slowly came to an end...

Compared with the time Xiao Ling spent on refining the eighth-grade elixir in the past, the process of refining the medicine this time has indeed increased significantly.

However, considering Xiao Ling's concentration during this refining process, the huge amount of medicinal materials required, and the significant increase in the difficulty of refining, this time consumption is also reasonable.

Xiao Ling's figure sat cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron, almost never moving. His eyes were always locked inside the medicine cauldron. Every operation was precise and powerful, as if his entire soul had been integrated into every detail of the alchemy. Among...

…

Time is like fine sand between fingers, slipping quietly. Before you know it, half a month has passed.

During these long days, more and more contestants completed refining their elixirs.

As a result, the whole world was gradually enveloped by an extremely rich fragrance of red dandelion. The fragrance was like fairy dew and nectar, filling the air. With just one breath, one could feel the fatigue of the past few days dissipate in an instant. .

Although more and more contestants have successfully refined elixirs, these elixirs have failed to trigger the arrival of elixirs.

The most outstanding one among them only caused the sky to be covered with dark clouds. However, not even a trace of lightning appeared, let alone the real roar of Dan Lei.

Faced with this situation, few people feel disappointed because they understand that this alchemy meeting is gradually reaching its climax.

The elixirs currently refined have reached the sixth-grade level, and it seems that the birth of seventh-grade elixirs will soon become a reality.

As the level of the elixir increases, the atmosphere in the entire venue becomes more and more tense. Everyone is waiting for that moment to arrive.

When the first seventh-grade elixir is born, it will be the first climax of this elixir meeting.

…

As for all the changes in the outside world, Xiao Ling seemed to be aloof from them. His eyes remained the same, tightly locked within the medicine cauldron.

After more than ten days of careful fusion, at this moment, in the center of the blazing flames in the medicine cauldron, a small, oval-shaped ball about the size of a fist could be vaguely seen rising slowly.

This small ball is condensed from the essence of hundreds of precious medicinal materials. Although it is still in the embryonic stage of the elixir, and has not even appeared in its complete prototype, the significance it represents is no longer trivial.

Although this small ball has not yet fully formed, the most difficult step, the fusion of medicinal power, has been successfully overcome.

Now, as long as Xiao Ling maintains a stable refining state, he can successfully refine this Samsara Soul Pill, which has reached the eighth grade and nine colors.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Diao was floating beside Xiao Ling. Its concentration was no worse than Xiao Ling, the person involved in refining the elixir. After setting up the formation, Xiao Diao had been staring closely at the medicine cauldron. every slight change.

The process of refining the reincarnation soul-shaping pill requires exquisite control of the energy of life and death.

Under the careful guidance of Xiao Diao and the spirit of the ancestor, Xiao Ling has a profound understanding of the power of life and death.

His mastery of the power of life and death was enough to allow him to refine the legendary reincarnation soul-shaping pill.

However, the road to alchemy is full of dangers. If Xiao Ling makes a slight mistake in using the power of life and death, it may lead to unpredictable disasters.

For this reason, Xiao Diao is always ready. If there is an imbalance, it will take action immediately to stabilize the delicate balance between life and death.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling's refining process was smooth and smooth. Every step was accurate and there were no mistakes. This made Xiao Diao, who had been watching, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Diao has been following Xiao Ling for a long time, and has naturally witnessed Xiao Ling's process of refining the elixir countless times.

Although Xiao Diao is not an alchemist himself, observing the exquisite skills of this eighth-grade alchemist for a long time has given him a deep understanding of every step of alchemy.

It can be said that Xiao Diao is even more familiar with the alchemy process than some senior alchemists.

And when Xiao Diao realized that the situation in the medicine cauldron had progressed to the stage of pregnancy pill, if nothing unexpected happened, the refining of this reincarnation soul-shaping pill would only have time to wait.

Its heart, which had been hanging in mid-air for a long time, finally slowly returned to its true place.

At the same time, an uncontrollable excitement surged in its chest, quietly revealed from its eyes.

After such a long life as a demon spirit, Xiao Diao is finally on the verge of resurrection.

If it wasn't worried about disturbing Xiao Ling, who was concentrating on refining the elixir, it would have been unable to contain its inner excitement and would have roared to the sky with excitement.

…

With the progress of Danhui, it has gradually entered the second half. At this stage, there are two types of people who still insist on sweating on the alchemy table.

One is a master of alchemy who truly possesses profound strength, and the other is a faking person trying to survive and trying to blend in.

Obviously, on such occasions, the former occupies the vast majority.

After all, not everyone has enough courage and thick skin to dare to embarrass themselves at such a grand event filled with experts.

The stage of Danhui is, after all, a world for those with strength.

"boom!"

Under the slightly hot sky, a dull thunder suddenly tore apart the tranquility and resounded throughout the sky.

In an instant, countless eyes looked up, searching for the source of the sound.

Everyone witnessed in amazement that a dark cloud had gathered in the sky at some point. It was different from ordinary clouds. It seemed to contain some kind of terrifying power inside, and it actually made a low thundering sound.

This vision undoubtedly indicates that Dan Lei is taking shape, and a depressing atmosphere fills the air.

"Dan Lei? Could it be that a seventh-grade elixir is about to be born!"

As the strange phenomenon in the sky appeared, a cry of surprise broke out in the square.

The voices came one after another, and people's eyes were focused on the sky covered by dark clouds.

There, on a stone platform, the figure of a middle-aged man was particularly eye-catching.

He looked ecstatic, his eyes fixed on the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, and his excitement and pride were beyond words.

It was he who first triggered the arrival of Dan Lei and became the focus of attention.

"Boom!"

A moment later, in the thick dark clouds, a silver giant python-like thunder suddenly broke through the sky, and fell rapidly with shocking power.

Dan Lei accurately hit a figure on a stone platform. The man's body swayed slightly, but he steadily took the thunder.

Then, wisps of elixir fragrance like substance drifted from the stone platform, instantly filling the air, intoxicating.

"Haha, I succeeded!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the man with slightly gray hair and beard laughed wildly, full of pride.

He held high in his hand, a pill the size of a longan, flashing an alluring light, like the brightest star in the night sky.

This pill is the crystallization of his hard work and skills, and the proof of his glory.

For the man's out-of-control laughter, the people present not only did not have a trace of blame, but cast their eyes on him with respect and passion.

A master of alchemy who can refine a seventh-grade pill is a highly respected guest wherever he goes, enjoying supreme treatment.

The arrival of the pill thunder over there also attracted the attention of Xiao Ling, who was focusing on nurturing the pill.

His slightly squinted eyes slowly opened, and he glanced at the thunderclouds in the distant sky.

A trace of scrutiny flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head gently, and made a judgment in his heart. With such a weak pill thunder, it seems that the pill that is about to come out is only at the low level of the seventh grade.

In this vast Zhongzhou continent, being able to refine a seventh-grade elixir is undoubtedly a high recognition of the alchemist's skills, enough to be honored as a "master of alchemy".

However, in this alchemy competition with a dazzling star and many masters, although the seventh-grade elixir is still a masterpiece, it no longer seems so unique, so it is not so eye-catching, and even a little ordinary.

Xiao Ling's eyes just glanced and then retracted, and his eyes could not help but turn to the relief of Cao Ying and Dan Chen in the distance again.

His eyebrows raised slightly involuntarily, this time, he could vaguely feel the energy fluctuations coming from their medicine cauldron.

Judging from the trajectory and frequency of these fluctuations, it may not take long for the elixir they refined to be completed.

Moreover, according to the current progress, their speed of making elixir seems to be slightly better than Xiao Ling...

Then, Xiao Ling's eyes turned to the direction where Xiao Yan was.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was concentrating on the final step of the alchemy, concentrating on controlling the delicate balance of alchemy.

Xiao Ling sensed the energy fluctuations in the alchemy furnace in front of Xiao Yan.

In the complex energy fluctuations, he quickly identified that Xiao Yan was refining a seventh-grade high-level elixir.

This level of elixir is quite eye-catching even in the alchemy competition where there are many masters.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly and reveal a smile.

Perhaps, as he had speculated before, Xiao Yan might really seize the opportunity in this alchemy competition and break into the top ten honor list in one fell swoop.

Such an achievement is a great honor and affirmation for any alchemist.

And Xiao Yan has come all the way from the northwest continent. He can really be called a generation of genius to be able to reach this point.

After the shock of the first alchemy thunder, only half a day later, thunderclouds gathered in the sky again, and this time the thunderclouds looked denser and the strength was obviously greater than before.

This undoubtedly indicates that a contestant has refined a pill of higher quality.

For a period of time afterwards, the entire venue became extremely lively.

Almost every day, traces of pill thunder would appear in the sky two or three times, and they were either thick or thin, and they were different.

Xiao Ling observed carefully, and based on the density and power of the pill thunder, he speculated that even the most refined pill thunder, the corresponding pill grade was only the seventh-grade intermediate.

The atmosphere in the square became extremely warm because of the continuous pill thunder phenomenon. The silence and depression of the previous few days have been swept away at this moment.

Every time a seventh-grade pill is born, it will attract countless greedy and envious eyes.

This high-level pill has an irresistible attraction for the strong who have not yet entered the Dou Zun realm.

Therefore, whenever a seventh-grade pill appears, the whole square will boil, and the enthusiasm and expectations of the spectators will be pushed to a climax.

Boom boom boom!

The pill thunder that was extremely hard to see in the past has become commonplace in this sky, which makes many people feel that they have opened their eyes.

As time slowly passed, the number of stone platforms still burning with pill fire in the square gradually decreased, and finally, there were less than fifty stone platforms left.

Everyone knows that the alchemists who can persist until now are undoubtedly the top masters in the alchemy world of Douqi Continent.

If everything goes well, the champion of this Alchemy Conference will undoubtedly be born among this group of elites.

His eyes swept across the blazing alchemy fires on the dozens of stone platforms, and the atmosphere in this sky seemed to become solemn and tense in silence.

Every audience member present could feel that the most exciting and fierce competition of the Alchemy Conference was about to begin.

Every molecule in the air was full of anticipation and excitement. A peak showdown in the alchemy world was about to take place at this moment... (End of this chapter)
