Chapter 278 Feeling Uneasy

thousand-zhang spatial seal and turn to leave, he suddenly took a step forward and arrived beside the unconscious Xu Fengzi and Qian Kong.A powerful divine consciousness submerged into the two souls,...Although he said they were starting, Elder Han's gaze swept over the ten people in front of him once more, lingering a moment longer on Jiang Yun.

"Oh, and I almost forgot, the new formula I'm giving you is a tier three one."

"If you haven't refined a third-rank pill before, speak up now."

And if there's no tripod cauldron, just say it!

Although Elder Han's gaze was on the ten people, all eyes were focused on Jiang Yun.

Since everyone knows it, Elder Han's question is directed at only one person: Jiang Yun.

The other nine, as disciples of the Yaoshhen Sect, each had a danpei hanging from their waistbands, representing their respective alchemists' levels.

The highest is Guan Yiming's five-bead Dan Pei, followed by the four-bead Dan Pei of two Heavenly Cave pharmacists.

As for the remaining six, including Xiao Zheng and Li Changlin, they were all equipped with Sanzhu Dan Pei.

Only Ginger Cloud's waist was empty.

Although in the previous four rounds of competition, Jiang Yun had shown an astonishing level of alchemy skill, no one knew exactly what grade of pills he could refine.

As for the tripod furnace, as a pharmacist of the Yaoshhenzong sect, it is an indispensable item for everyone.

Jiang Yun naturally understood that this was Elder Han's special care for him.

I'm worried that if I've never refined a third-grade pill before, I won't have a chance of winning in the first round of this competition.

But after touching his nose, Jiang Yun didn't speak.

Because the highest grade elixir he had ever refined, the Tongtian Dan, happened to be a third-grade one.

And there was also a scattered-flower incense burner that he had won from Du Guirong.

Elder Han waited quietly for a moment, seeing that Jiang Yun remained silent. He then continued, "Since there's none, let us formally begin."

As he spoke, Han Chang waved his sleeve. Ten jade slips and ten rings fell respectively before the ten people.

"The contents of the jade tablet and the ring are the same."

"Inside this jade slip is a new medicinal formula I recently developed, and within the ring are two portions of herbs."

This round of competition, it's not about the final effect of the pill like Danxiao, as long as you can successfully refine the pills, you pass. Otherwise, you will be eliminated.

"Time, three hours, begin!"

As Elder Han’s voice fell, the ten people almost simultaneously reached out and grasped the jade slips before them. Each used their divine sense to carefully examine them.

Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Jiang Yun's heart was filled with a slight surprise.

Because the formulas for elixirs recorded in this jade slip are not only new but also third-rank elixir formulas.

You know, in the outside world, every time a new recipe appears, it causes a huge sensation.

The person who developed this elixir formula guarded it jealously and would never show it to others.

But within this Yaoshen Sect, Elder Han had previously developed the Dayan Pill. Now, he has come up with a new pill recipe and is generously using it as the content of the competition.

He even gave it to this outsider himself.

After all, now that he knows the recipe, he'll be able to refine this kind of medicine in the future.

To be able to do this, one must either be truly selfless; or possess astonishing confidence in one's own skill in the Way of Medicine.

Evidently, Elder Han belongs to the latter.

When they saw the alchemical formula in the Jade Scroll, even Ginger Cloud's eyes widened in amazement.

Within the jade slip, there is recorded a brand new type of elixir called "Heavenly Supplement".

This elixir's effect is not truly heavenly, but rather that of a cave heaven cultivated by a cave heaven cultivator.

Whether it's a blessed land or a heavenly cave, they are all formed by cultivators condensing spiritual energy. They are closely related to life and death. Once damaged, it is extremely difficult to heal.

Therefore, the elixir for blessed lands and heavenly realms can be specifically treated, each type is in short supply, and the price is exorbitant.

This elder Han, to be able to research and develop such a pill formula, it is not hard to imagine that his mastery of medicine is indeed astonishing.

Although the formula was described in great detail, after reading it, ten people all fell into deep thought, and not a single person immediately began to refine the elixir.

From this, we can see that the ten people who made it to the final round are indeed quite talented.

Even if the prescription is detailed, it's still just words on paper.

Bringing things from paper to reality involves many unexpected twists and turns. Therefore, careful consideration and a detailed understanding of each step are essential.

Even in Gingercloud's mind, he had already begun to meticulously deduce the entire alchemy process.

At this moment, Yaoshhenzong has once again fallen silent.

Although everyone knew that the place of inheritance was actually in another dimension, no one dared to speak up, for fear of disturbing them.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, finally, a celestial apothecary appeared, waving his hand. A large black cauldron materialized before him, and he began to attempt the refining process of the Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill.

After him, it was Guan Yiming.

In short, after half an hour had passed, everyone except Jiang Yun had already begun the first round of refining.

If this had happened before, bystanders would have definitely mocked Jiang Yun again.

But now, they no longer have the slightest contempt for Ginger Cloud. Instead, they think he is cautious and careful, and perhaps there will be some amazing performance again.

However, in fact, Ginger Cloud's heart was truly unsettled at this moment!

He had once refined the Elixir of Immortality, so logically speaking, he could be considered a third-rank alchemist.

However, he has only refined this one third-grade pill.

And the pharmacists of Yaoshén Sect, after becoming a third rank, cannot say they have to refine medicine every day, but at least once a month they must refine a third-rank pill.

Over time, their experience in refining third-rank elixirs naturally surpassed Jiang Yun's by far.

Like alchemy, proficiency comes with practice.

Once Jiang Yun hadn't practiced alchemy for a long time, he would always refine some of his proficient pills first to warm up before starting to practice alchemy.

Moreover, this Filling Heaven Pill is a completely new kind of elixir.

Back when Gingercloud first got his hands on the Tiantian Pill formula, under Old Black's provision of endless medicinal ingredients, it took him nearly a month of painstaking effort to finally perfect the concoction.

But now, he only has two chances!

And he couldn't afford to fail, so he had to prepare thoroughly. He went back to the source, simplifying the process step by step, and repeatedly analyzed and pondered over every detail of the refining process in his mind.

After an hour had passed, the other alchemists, especially Guan Yiming, had almost completely poured the first batch of medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

Ginger Cloud, yet it still hasn't started refining!

By this time, let alone the onlookers who were already murmuring amongst themselves once more.

Even Elder Han's eyebrows furrowed subtly, wondering why Jiang Yun hadn't started refining yet.

Three hours is neither long nor short.

He had personally refined the補天丹 (Bǔ Tiān Dān) before, and he knew that even if everything went smoothly, it would take at least an hour to succeed once.

Although Elder Han valued Jiang Yun greatly, as an eighth-rank alchemist, he wouldn't arrogantly assume that Jiang Yun could succeed in mastering a brand new prescription on his first attempt.

He also didn't believe that Jiang Yun could shorten the refining time.

So, if Jiang Yun doesn't make a move, then there's a high possibility that he will be eliminated in this round of the competition.

Fortunately, Ginger Cloud finally took action.

Under a wave of his hand, a dispersal flower furnace appeared before Jiang Yun's face, and immediately after, a sufficient amount of medicinal materials flew out from the ring.

He took a deep breath, Ginger Cloud slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no ripple in his gaze. He raised his wrist, and a ball of spiritual fire appeared beneath the incense burner.

Jiang Yun, starting his first attempt at refining the Heaven-Restoring Pill!

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network00!It doesn't sound like much, but 160,000 pieces of top-grade heaven and earth stones are enough for the entire Tie family to cultivate for 16,000 years, or enough for a single cultivator to cultivat...
