"The purity of this kid's medicinal materials is definitely not enough."
Ling Shi suddenly thought of a possibility. Medicinal materials cannot be used directly to make pills. Usually, they have to be purified before they can be used to make pills.
"Yes, that must be it."
Ling Shi comforted himself in this way. In his opinion, Wu Chen must not have purified the medicinal materials deeply enough, so he was successful all the way without failure. If the medicinal materials are not pure enough, it will have a great impact on the alchemy, and it will be easy for the pill to explode during the pill-making process.
Thinking of this, Ling Shi suddenly felt balanced. It would be really strange if Wu Chen could refine qualified pills with the purity of such medicinal materials.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Shi no longer paid attention to Wu Chen. How could a person who couldn't even meet the purity requirements of medicinal material extraction refine qualified pills? If he couldn't even refine qualified pills, how could he be qualified to compete with him
At this moment, many people have finished purifying the medicinal materials and started refining pills.
“It’s finally done.”
On the other side, Su Can placed the last extracted medicinal material on the table and breathed a sigh of relief. After such a long time, he finally succeeded in purifying all the medicinal materials.
"I wonder how Wu Chen and Ling Shi are doing?"
These two people, like him, are both refining Tianhu Dan. Wu Chen is not reliable, but Ling Shi has to pay attention to them, because the other party's alchemy skills are very strong, not worse than his at all. If he can also refine the top-grade Tianhu Dan, then even if the two of them are tied, they will both become Rookie Kings. He will definitely not be happy about this, because there can only be one Rookie King, and that person can only be his. No one else can snatch the honor of Rookie King from him.
Su Can raised his head and glanced at Ling Shi first. At this moment, Ling Shi's work of extracting medicinal materials had not been completed yet, and he was still continuing to purify the medicinal materials.
"This guy can be ignored."
Su Can was relieved. Even his speed in purifying medicinal materials was not as fast as his. How could he still dream of being on par with him in alchemy? It was impossible.
Then, he looked at Wu Chen again. At this time, Wu Chen, like Ling Shi, was still purifying the medicinal materials and had not completed this task.
Seeing this, Su Can felt even more relieved. Now, he could rest assured.
"Who else but me can be the Rookie of the Year?"
Su Can smiled. At this moment, he seemed to have seen himself standing on a high platform, accepting the worship of thousands of people. The feeling was simply indescribable.
Not long after, Wu Chen also completed the purification of the medicinal materials.
"Has only an hour passed?"
Wu Chen glanced at the funnel timer. Now, only one hour had passed, and there were still two hours left to the end. With his alchemy skills, two hours would be enough for him to refine the pills.
Then, he looked at the others again. Now, basically everyone had entered the state of refining the elixir. Some of the fast and experienced alchemists had already condensed the prototype of the elixir. Only a few were still doing the finishing work of purifying the medicinal materials, and it seemed that they were about to complete the refining.
"I'll start refining it too."
Since everyone had basically started refining the elixir, Wu Chen did not hesitate and put the purified medicinal materials into the cauldron and started refining the Tianhu Pill.
"Wu Chen has also started refining pills. I wonder what grade of pill he can refine."
"In my opinion, the possibility of it being a low-grade elixir is 90%. After all, this is his first time refining a sixth-grade elixir and he has no experience."
"I think so too. It's already very good that he can extract the medicinal materials."
"Now, except for a few people, everyone else is refining pills. I wonder who will win the championship and the rookie king of the Alchemist Conference this time."
"This is a bit difficult. After all, there are quite a few sixth-level alchemists. There are more than fifty of the older generation, and about twenty of the younger generation. We are not familiar with all of them, and we don't know who among them has the better alchemy skills."
"That's true, but I can say for sure that this time the champion and the rookie king will fall into the hands of us in Zhongzhou."
"Need I say this? This is definitely the case. In the eyes of us Zhongzhou people, people from other regions are just a foil. This is beyond doubt. Our Zhongzhou is the real center of Tianwu Continent."
"Haha, speaking of the Rookie King, I remember the man named Ling Shi from Xixuan Territory. He had already declared before the Alchemist Conference that he would definitely win the Rookie King title this time."
"He, the rookie king, will daydream if he is not awakened. He is arrogant, stupid and ignorant. He is nothing but a joke."
"Haha, I think so too."
Everyone was talking about it.
“It’s finally done.”
Ling Shi placed the last medicinal ingredient on the table and heaved a sigh of relief. When refining the Tianhu Pill, the most difficult ingredient to deal with was the pink iron flower. After failing twice, he succeeded the third time. As for the other medicinal ingredients, there was no obstacle at all and they were purified easily all the way.
"Have you already started refining the elixir?"
He raised his head and looked at the people in the field. Now, everyone was starting to make pills, even Wu Chen was doing the same. He was the only one left.
"Don't think that speed is enough. Let me show you what it means to strike back after being attacked. The Rookie King must belong to me, Ling Shi."
Ling Shi talked to himself, paused for a while, took a breath, and then began the refining work.
It is extremely difficult to refine fifth- and sixth-level elixirs. Moreover, while ensuring the success of refining, the quality must also be guaranteed. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Therefore, everyone holds their breath, concentrates, and puts all their thoughts and energy into refining the elixir. They dare not be careless in the slightest. Once they are careless, the refining is likely to fail, and all efforts will be in vain.
However, even with extreme caution, accidents are bound to happen.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise suddenly came from the field, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone looked up and saw a man standing there blankly. In front of him, in the alchemy cauldron, the flame burned rapidly, gradually devouring his half-finished pill. xdw8
Seeing this, everyone understood that this was the most undesirable situation in alchemy, that is, the pill exploding.
