Chapter 339 The Alchemy Competition Continues!
Amid cheers from the crowd, the second round of the competition began.
This time, only six people remained on the stage.
Leng Yun remained standing in the corner, as no one suggested he move to a different spot.
Everyone felt that Leng Yun's victory in the first match was just luck.
But he wasn't so lucky in the second round.
The second round of refining was still a poison from the southern border, but it had been upgraded to a fourth-grade pill, which stumped many contestants this time.
Because their rank did not reach the fourth grade.
Some people gave up the competition, while others forced themselves to continue refining the pills, resulting in the pill furnace exploding or them suffering backlash, vomiting blood and being seriously injured.
Almost all the audience’s attention was focused on Medicine King Luo Xu and a black hooded alchemist next to him, the latter named Zhang Chengpin, who was Luo Xu’s junior brother.
Only these two people have been steadily refining pills, which means that their skill level has reached the fourth-grade alchemist level.
"Look at the two of them, their alchemy techniques and their control over the heat are truly unmatched by others."
"That's right, it seems that the final round this year will be between the Medicine King Luo Xu and this Zhang Chengpin."
The crowd discussed the two of them, looking at the alchemy furnace in front of them with envy.
No one noticed that at this moment, in the corner, Leng Yun's alchemy furnace was also gradually forming a pill.
Three hours later, the match ended.
Most of the contestants left the arena dejectedly, without even needing Elder Qin to judge them.
Only Luo Xu and his junior brother Zhang Chengpin walked up to Elder Qin with their pills amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
"Hmm, very good, perfect!" Elder Qin took the pill from Luo Xu and quickly gave the result.
Then, Elder Qin took Zhang Chengpin's pills and compared them. It was obvious that the pills were much worse. In terms of shape, color, taste and other aspects, they were not as good as Luo Xu's pills.
"Hmm, it still needs improvement, but it can be considered a barely successful refinement. You've also successfully entered the third stage—"
Elder Qin was interrupted by Leng Yun before he could finish speaking.
"Wait, Elder Qin, what about my pills?" Leng Yun said as he slowly walked towards Elder Qin.
Elder Qin was taken aback. He thought that Leng Yun had withdrawn from the competition along with the dejected team from earlier.
Everyone was just as surprised as Elder Qin: Could it be that this new student named 'Qianlilu' had also successfully refined a fourth-grade pill?
Luo Xu and Zhang Chengpin turned to look at Leng Yun, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Hmph, you freshman, you're only fit to hide in a corner like a cockroach. Do you really think you can successfully refine a fourth-grade pill?" Zhang Chenggong mocked. "I think you'd better not embarrass yourself here."
Leng Yun glanced at Zhang Chengpin without saying a word, and instead extended her hand to the elder!
In the palm of his hand, a perfectly round pill faintly emitted a pale blue light.
Elder Qin remained speechless for a long time, his expression somewhat frozen.
The surrounding audience watched Elder Qin with great curiosity, waiting for his judgment.
"A perfect pill!" Elder Qin announced loudly.
The many Linglong Pavilion disciples present were all surprised and stared blankly at Leng Yun. It took them a long time to react to the words that Elder Qin had said.
This freshman actually managed to refine a perfect pill when no one was looking!
At this moment, no one dared to laugh at Leng Yun for overestimating his abilities.
It is precisely the incompetence of these people that limits their imagination; they never imagined that someone close to them could reach such a level.
Zhang Chengpin's face was extremely ugly. The moment Leng Yun took out the pill, he realized that he was doomed to lose.
With little suspense, Leng Yun and Luo Xu advanced to the final match.
At this time, Leng Yun was receiving more attention than Luo Xu, the Medicine King.
The third round of the competition began, and Leng Yun moved to the center of the ring, standing next to Luo Xu.
Everyone was thrilled, because the match had once again become full of suspense.
Elder Qin stepped forward: "In this round, we will refine a fifth-grade pill—the Black Miracle Pill. Let's begin!"
Everyone gasped in astonishment; it was actually a fifth-grade pill being refined!
Could this new student named 'Qianlilu' also be a fifth-grade alchemist?
At Elder Qin's command, the two began refining the pills.
Leng Yun glanced at the pill formula, silently recited "fusion," and thus merged the pill formula into his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he poured a ball of yellow flame into the alchemy furnace.
Black Qi Pill is a type of poison pill. Leng Yun threw the first poisonous herb into the alchemy furnace. The Five Elements Fire immediately surrounded the poisonous herb, and after a short while, a black sap began to flow from it.
The flames raised the surrounding temperature considerably, even distorting the air above the arena.
To everyone's surprise, Leng Yun's alchemy furnace was refining essence faster than that of the Medicine King Luo Xu.
Others didn't feel anything, but Luo Xu clearly sensed that when Leng Yun's flames appeared, his own blue flames seemed to be retreating.
This situation had never happened before, which surprised him greatly.
Even so, Luo Xu truly deserves the title of 'King of Medicine,' for his exceptional skill in refining medicine.
Even Leng Yun could sense that the pills Luo Xu had refined were at least top-grade fifth rank.
In other words, the highest level I can create with the help of the system is only the fifth-grade top level, so it's still hard to say who will win or lose.
Moreover, the reputation of the 'Medicine King' is deeply rooted in Linglong Pavilion. If Leng Yun cannot gain a clear advantage, he himself will likely suffer the loss.
If Leng Yun wants to see the Great Wizard, he must win this competition.
With this in mind, Leng Yun decided to take a risk and add something to his elixir that no one before him had ever done before.
At this point, both of their alchemy processes had reached the final stage of completion.
Everyone knew the importance of this stage, so they all held their breath and watched the two people on the stage.
Within the cold clouds' yellow flames, the perfectly round elixir was gradually taking shape.
Suddenly, the yellow flame went out instantly, and at the same time, a ball of purple flame enveloped the pill and continued to burn.
The annihilation and rebirth happen in an instant, their coordination is flawless; if it were even slightly off, the elixir would fail.
Although the purple flames had no temperature, they still emitted a power that continuously refined the elixir.
Everyone was amazed by Leng Yun's move, and their eyes widened in astonishment.
What surprised them even more was that they finally recognized the purple flames as the same purple flames that had illuminated most of the night sky that night!
