"You must be steady! Otherwise I will definitely lose this competition!" Zhang Hongtian secretly said to himself, not feeling discouraged because he was at a disadvantage.
After all, Zhang Hongtian is the most outstanding young alchemy genius in the Tang Dynasty, and he can be regarded as an experienced veteran. This kind of situation has not been encountered before.
Although he was suppressed in the confrontation just now and almost caused the alchemy to fail, he did not really fail, and he was still able to hold his own.
At this moment, Zhang Hongtian tried his best to stabilize the fire dragon and wanted to put the two pills into the pill furnace for further refining.
But unexpectedly, Hui Xuzi actually launched an offensive again.
The Flame Pisces came roaring in with even greater momentum, as if they were not worried that their elixirs would be affected.
When Zhang Hongtian saw this, his face turned ugly, he gritted his teeth and suddenly slapped the alchemy furnace.
A dull sound came out, and an invisible force spread out, protecting Zhang Hongtian's elixir.
The Flame Pisces impacted on this invisible force and then retreated, unable to succeed.
But Zhang Hongtian's progress was also affected again, falling even further behind Huixunzi.
"How despicable!"
"You're already so far ahead, yet you still want to harass me!"
"The people of Nanami are really shameless!"
"I hope Zhang Hongtian can stabilize. It is not completely hopeless."
Many alchemists glared at Hui Xuzi, and some even cursed Hui Xuzi for being despicable and shameless.
But in fact, they also understand that this approach is not so despicable, but something that often occurs during alchemy competitions.
But now, Zhang Hongtian was already lagging behind Hui Xuzi, and Hui Xuzi wanted to harass him, which was a bit too much.
Besides, Hui Xuzi was still from the Seven Seas, so he would naturally be rejected and disgusted by the people of the Nine Kingdoms.
Sweat broke out on Zhang Hongtian's forehead, and his progress was once again affected. It was impossible not to panic in his heart, but after all, he was a genius of alchemy in the world, with superb methods, and his state of mind was not easily affected.
At this moment, Zhang Hongtian stabilized his mind and focused all his energy on alchemy. He also wanted to use an ancient alchemy method to speed up the efficiency of alchemy, at least in terms of progress, so as not to lag too far behind Huixunzi.
But at this moment, Hui Xuzi pointed his finger at his alchemy furnace, and suddenly a blue torrent roared out.
"Not good!" Zhang Hongtian was shocked and immediately slapped the pill furnace, trying to resist it with the Soul Life Pill Fire.
"Can you stop it?" Hui Xuzi sneered, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Boom~~
The azure torrent hit, and although Zhang Hongtian used the Soul Life Pill Fire to resist it, he still couldn't completely block it. The pill furnace was impacted and the pills were greatly affected.
The alchemy furnace in front of Hui Xuzi also seemed to have lost all its power, becoming dim and even cracks appeared.
This scene surprised everyone, especially the experienced alchemists, who were all dumbfounded.
"This, this, this person can actually use cauldron energy?"
"Impossible! How could Ding Qi be mobilized?"
"There must be something fishy about this."
"Look at Hui Xuzi's alchemy furnace. It looks like it has been exhausted."
"This guy is so cruel."
The cauldron has cauldron energy, which is contained within the cauldron, especially those ancient cauldrons. After years of tempering, the cauldron energy is even more intense and amazing.
Alchemists know the existence of cauldron energy, but how to control cauldron energy is something that very few people can do. Unless they are really the kind of peerless genius who is born with alchemy, and has a natural fit with the alchemy furnace, they can The cauldron energy echoes with it. Otherwise, ordinary alchemists, even if they know the existence of cauldron energy, will not be able to use the cauldron energy at all.
Moreover, the cauldron qi cannot be used casually. The cauldron qi is equivalent to the vitality of an alchemy cauldron, just like the inner strength of a warrior. When it is used up, the warrior will be useless.
Once the cauldron energy is exhausted, it will be difficult to generate it again, so generally speaking, an alchemy furnace that has exhausted the cauldron energy is basically useless.
For example, Fang Lin's practice of Jiuding Tongtian Jue is to absorb the cauldron energy of the alchemy cauldron to improve himself. It is extremely overbearing. Every time he practices and absorbs it, a good alchemy furnace will be scrapped.
In order to destroy Zhang Hongtian's alchemy process, Hui Xuzi did not hesitate to use up all the cauldron energy in his alchemy furnace. This approach was really cruel.
At least within the Dan Alliance, no one would do this when trying to refine the Dan.
Hui Xuzi glanced at the already exhausted alchemy furnace in front of him. He didn't care at all. He wrapped the elixir with the flame Pisces. There was no need for an alchemy furnace at all, and he just refined it like this.
As for Zhang Hongtian, the situation is quite bad.
One of the two pills was damaged and could not be refined into a pill.
Zhang Hongtian looked gloomy and could only smile bitterly. He was definitely defeated now. He only had one pill left. He could not defeat Huixunzi no matter what.
Hui Xuzi's two pills were almost ready to take shape. Even if they were of average quality, they were completely superior to Zhang Hongtian in terms of quantity.
"To attack me with cauldron energy is indeed a clever method. I, Zhang Hongtian, am naturally not as good as me." Zhang Hongtian said in his heart.
The time for the three sticks of incense will soon be exhausted. The morale of the nine nations is low and they are completely shocked, because they all know that this competition is basically destined to be lost.
At Huixuzi's place, the fragrance of the elixir overflowed, and bursts of white smoke rose from the flames. It was obvious that the Jade Heart Pill had been successfully refined.
Zhang Hongtian's place is also filled with the fragrance of elixir, but the intensity is not as strong as that of Huixunzi's place.
"Oh, I lose, I lose."
"We lost the first game. Is the Dan Alliance going to be over?"
"If those barbarians from Qihai hadn't used despicable means, how could Zhang Hongtian lose?"
"No matter what you say, you still lose."
After the three sticks of incense were burned out, Hui Xuzi and Zhang Hongtian both stepped off the high platform of the magic circle. It could be seen from their expressions that the outcome of this competition was already very obvious.
Huixunzi looked slightly arrogant and proud, while Zhang Hongtian had a bitter look on his face and a gloomy expression.
The two presented the elixirs they refined to Master Tianjun and Taoist Chongyun for comparison and evaluation.
"Alas." Elder Tianjun couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the elixir refined by Zhang Hongtian.
"Mr. Su, can you announce the result? Or should I let Pindao do it for me?" Taoist Chongyun looked at Mr. Tianjun and said with a smile.
Elder Tianjun shook his head and said to everyone: "In the first competition, Qihai Daomen wins."
As soon as this statement came out, although many people present were mentally prepared, there were also some who were expecting a miracle to happen.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen after all. In this first competition, the Dan Alliance lost in the end.
