As time went by, more and more people encountered problems in the process of extracting medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials were often burned. Even the experienced older generation of alchemists on the other side were the same. Some of them had problems with medicinal materials being burned.
Now, the pills that these alchemists are refining are not first- or second-level pills, but fifth- and sixth-level pills. It is extremely difficult to refine pills of this level. If you are not careful, you will fail. Even for those experienced older generation alchemists, this is inevitable.
At this moment, everyone was staring at the platform without blinking. Although they did not understand alchemy, they could still feel the tremendous effort those alchemists put in to refine a superior pill.
Bang!
The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked up and saw a string of black smoke coming out of Ling Shi's alchemy cauldron, and then a ball of flame was burning rapidly, engulfing a precious medicinal herb.
"How is that possible? I was clearly in control."
Ling Shi stared at his alchemy cauldron blankly, and there was a brief blank in his mind. He couldn't imagine how his medicinal materials could be burned.
Seeing this, everyone looked over, but no one laughed. It was common for alchemists to burn medicinal materials while refining pills. It was not particularly strange. Ling Shi was not the only one who had his medicinal materials burned.
Soon, Ling Shi came back to his senses, took a deep breath, inhaled the medicinal herbs next to him, and threw himself into the fire again.
"I don't know what happened to that kid. I guess he's in a state of panic now."
At this time, Ling Shi thought of Wu Chen, raised his head and looked at him. He thought that when he first started to refine sixth-grade pills, he was often in a hurry and burned countless medicinal materials. He even lost confidence at one point. So, he guessed that Wu Chen must be the same.
However, when he looked over, he was surprised to find that the situation in the field was not as he had imagined. Wu Chen was not at all panicked. He followed the same steps. In his alchemy cauldron, the flame continued to burn, calcining the medicinal materials. Everything seemed very calm.
"how so?"
Ling Shi was shocked and felt it was unbelievable. Looking at Wu Chen, he didn't look like a novice at all. All his techniques seemed to be more proficient than his. How was this possible
Not only did he discover this, many people also noticed this and couldn't help but start talking about it.
"Is it really Wu Chen's first time to refine a sixth-level pill? Why does he feel better than those sixth-level alchemists?"
"I think so too. Although I am not an alchemist and don't know how to make pills, I can vaguely see that his technique doesn't seem like it's his first time making this kind of pill."
"From the beginning till now, he has never burned any of the herbs he has been handling. Everything is in order, not a single mess. This level of skill doesn't look like his first time refining."
"Yes, there are many alchemists who are refining Tianhu Dan at the scene, but there are very few who can do it without burning the medicinal materials. Even that crazy person in Xixuanyu, didn't he burn the medicinal materials before?"
“That’s very strange.”
Many people looked at Wu Chen with surprise.
"He started to purify the pink iron flower."
Ling Shi had been keeping an eye on Wu Chen. At this moment, the latter was purifying pink iron flower, a very difficult medicinal material to process. He had failed in processing this medicinal material before, and the medicinal material was burned. He was forced to start purifying it again.
"Boy, you dare to fight me? I bet that your herbs will be burned in the next moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was indeed a hissing sound, and Ling Shi laughed out loud. What he said just now was purely a curse, in other words, nonsense. He didn't expect that he really got it right.
"Boy, you want to fight me? No way."
Ling Shi snorted coldly and looked at Wu Chen with his pupils shrinking. Originally, he wanted to see Wu Chen's distraught look, but the fact did not happen as he thought. Wu Chen's pink iron flowers were still lying quietly in the flames, constantly being tempered.
"What's going on? Wasn't his pink iron flower burned? How come it's still there?"
Ling Shi was shocked and didn't understand what was going on.
Immediately, he sniffed and seemed to smell something strange.
"What's going on? Why is there a burnt smell? Could it be?"
Ling Shi quickly lowered his head and looked at his own alchemy cauldron. He was immediately horrified.
"My pink iron flower."
It turned out that the hissing sound he heard before was not Wu Chen's powdered iron flowers being burned, but his own powdered iron flowers being burned.
Seeing all this, Ling Shi was stunned and had a sad face. This was the second pink iron flower he had destroyed.
"Haha, this guy from Xixuan Territory failed again."
"This guy was so arrogant before, he didn't take everyone seriously, and I thought he was so powerful, but it turns out he's just this good."
"The more arrogant one is, the more ignorant and stupid one is. This saying is very appropriate for this guy."
Everyone snorted coldly, without any sympathy for Ling Shi's failure. Everything was this guy's own fault.
After a long while, Ling Shi finally recovered. Now, he had failed twice and he must not fail again.
"By the way, how is that kid? I guess he failed as well."
At this time, he thought of Wu Chen again. In his opinion, he had failed twice, so Wu Chen was bound to fail as well.
However, the outcome of the matter was once again beyond his expectations. The imagined scene of Wu Chen's failure did not appear. Instead, he saw Wu Chen sucking another kind of medicinal material into the flame. As for the pink iron flower, it had already been purified and lay quietly in a corner of the table.
"How is it possible? How could this guy purify the pink iron flower?"
Ling Shi's face was filled with shock and disbelief. He knew very well how difficult it was to purify the pink iron flower. Once, just to purify this thing, he practiced for three full months before he could barely purify the pink iron flower to an acceptable level. Before that, he had failed twice in a row. This showed how difficult it was to purify the pink iron flower.
But now, Wu Chen succeeded in purifying it in one go without experiencing any failure. How could he believe it
