C236 Begin Refining

As the name implied, the Pill Competition consisted of two alchemists or more. They would choose the same pill or the same method to refine the pill. Finally, they would compete with the color and lines of the pill. From this, they would determine who would be the winner of the Pill Competition if the pill's grade and medicinal properties were higher.

The so-called Pill Competition was the way for all alchemists to settle their grudges. Of course, it was also the way to win the respect of the alchemists. Ordinary people would say that they wanted others to submit to them. You would have to surpass that person in terms of strength and beat him until he was covered in cuts and bruises. For alchemists, Alchemy was their strengths. If they were able to surpass their strengths by a level. . . They could naturally win their recognition and respect.

The assembly that was held once every ten years was not only an exchange between the alchemists and the Pill Competition, it was also a re-election for the guild leader. A year later, the Alchemist Guild of the Wind Water Country held the Alchemist Grand Meeting.

At that time, all the alchemists in the Wind Domain would move upon hearing the news and gather in the Water Wind Domain to witness the golden age. Of course, most of them wanted to stand out from the thousands of master alchemists. Once they became the champion, they would be able to participate in the election of the president.

As long as they were alchemists, they knew how great the benefits of becoming a member of the Alchemist Guild were. They could mobilize all the resources in the association and bring them into their own bodies. They could do whatever they wanted with power and influence. Even though there were still a few supreme elders suppressing him, However, those people were in secluded cultivation all year round, and did not care about the affairs of the world at all. As long as they did not violate the rules of the guild, they would never appear. They were basically non-existent.

Tu Xu looked at the fiery red Dragon Inscription. A possessive look flashed across Tu Xu's eyes. Once he had the Fire Dragon Cauldron, he would have the chance to run for the position of the Alchemist Guild's president. Even if it was just a branch, he was still the overlord of a region in the Wind Domain. No one in the world would dare to disobey his decree.

Hearing the secretly mocking words of the mysterious black-robed man, anger flashed across Tu Xu's eyes. He was a dignified Tier 5 alchemist, and he had never received such sarcasm before!

Hmph! For the sake of the Fire Dragon Cauldron! I'll spare you this time.

He truly valued the Fire Dragon Cauldron too much and was not affected by the other party's words in the slightest. With a flick of his finger, true qi was released from his fingertip, landing on the groove of the Shuo Golden Cauldron.

The true qi was released by a master swordsman. Tu Xu was not only a rank five alchemist, but also a master swordsman.

The crowd was stunned when they saw the flame.

The flame was burning! Could this be the so-called seizing the initiative! Could it be that Tu Xu, this tier five alchemist, thought that he was not a match for the mysterious black-robed person, and thus took the initiative to attack?

Everyone realized that the shameless person was not the mysterious black-robed man, but the tier 5 alchemist in front of them, Tu Xu.

The mysterious black-robed man was also stunned. He did not expect that the other party would really attack first. But thinking about it, it made sense. Pills, for example, on a battlefield, regardless of the process, would only depend on the result. It wasn't like there was a rule stating that two people had to make a move at the same time.

Looking at the raging flames of true qi, the mysterious black-robed man flicked his sleeve and sat down cross-legged.

His Soul Energy condensed and formed a huge silver hand in the void. He suddenly clenched his fist. "Rumble!" The spiritual Qi of the world boiled, and countless fire elements were grasped in his hand. Then, he put it down, and it immediately fell into the groove of the Pill Cauldron. They turned into flames and began to burn. The intensity of the flames was much stronger than Tu Xu's on the opposite side.

The Soul Energy was capturing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth!

This was a technique that belonged to a Tier 5 alchemist and a Sword Lord Level False Expert. Initially, he would not do so. However, before he prepared to come here, he suddenly had an 'epiphany'.

The Sword Lord soul had already been activated, and it could manifest a physical body. It could capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb it into its own body. Although he wasn't a Sword Lord warrior yet, his Soul Energy wasn't any weaker than a Sword Lord warrior's, and he could do it as well. Therefore, this was the scene he had just witnessed. The giant hand of soul seized the fire element for its own use.

This scene caused Tu Xu's face to sink. He had already lost a level in the Pill Cauldron, but he had never thought that he would lose once again in the Pill Competition.

He had used the True Qi in his Dantian to transform it into the True Qi Flame, but the opponent had directly and domineeringly captured the fire elements of heaven and earth for him to use. In terms of imposing manner, he had once again suffered a crushing defeat.

He had lost twice in a row. This result would really be as he had imagined. The one who would win would be him. For the first time, Tu Xu doubted himself. He did not believe it.

"No, the other party was just bluffing. I know how to do it too. It's no big deal. " Tu Xu roared in his heart.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound was emitted from within the Pill Cauldron. It was very soft, but it was exceptionally ear-piercing in such a quiet square. Everyone could hear it clearly.

"Ugh! Senior Tu Xu's refinement of medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs has failed. "

"That's right. I didn't expect Senior Tu Xu to fail twice as soon as we started. This result is really worrying!"

"That's right. Initially, I thought highly of Senior Tu Xu. But now, I don't think so. In my opinion, he doesn't look like a Tier 5 alchemist. Instead, he looks like a Tier 1 alchemist or even an apprentice who has just entered the alchemy world. "

" Look, the mysterious black-robed man opposite isn't the slightest bit impatient. When he saw that Tu Xu failed to refine the herbs and herbs, he didn't have the slightest bit of ambition. Instead, he revealed a look of pity and regret. What a generous heart! "

. . .

. . .

. . .

The officials on the side were discussing in low voices. They were all saying that Tu Xu was no good. Then, they were praising the mysterious black-robed man. It was as if Tu Xu, a tier five Alchemy Grandmaster, was on the ground. The mysterious and calm black-robed man was in the sky, forming a strong contrast.

This time, Tu Xu's expression became even more terrifying. It was even darker and darker than the dark clouds before the storm.

Looking at the mysterious black-robed man who was still adapting to the heat, looking at the flickering flames that could extinguish at any moment, his anger could be felt everywhere.

However, he also knew that his refinement of the medicinal pill had failed.

It turned out that the split second he had been distracted, he had refined the medicinal plant and spiritual grass that had been thrown in into dregs. With a slap, the medicinal plant and spiritual grass were refined into slag. The Pill Cauldron. Instantly, a lump of black liquid shot out. Under the scorching sun, it emitted a foul smell.

"It smells so bad!"

"It smells so bad! It stinks even worse than the endocrine that I've been holding in for ten days!"

"That's right! I'm puzzled. How did a Tier 5 alchemist extract such a smelly thing?! Could it be that this Tu Xu is a fake, not a real alchemist!? "

. . .

. . .

. . .

Tu Xu realized that he was really wrong! And he was completely wrong! He had been looking for trouble. Why did he ask him to carry out the Pill Competition? Wasn't he just looking for trouble?

My dear mother, don't play with me like this! Tu Xu had an impulse to roar into the sky. He knew that his reputation as a Tier 5 alchemist had been completely tarnished. It had been ruined by this pile of trash, and it had been refined by him. The one who had tarnished his reputation was none other than him!

The only way to remedy the situation now was to defeat the Pill Competition this time. He would step on his opponent and rise to the top, and regain his glory.

After calming down, Tu Xu knew that his state of mind had almost been broken. A pill refiner had to be calm and focused. The other party had captured the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth for his own use, so that he could be distracted. That was why the refinement had failed.

Tu Xu was indeed worthy of being a Tier 5 alchemist. After having experienced hundreds of battles, he had found his weakness and immediately corrected it.

His Qi sank into his Dantian, and his heart was as calm as still water, without any waves! Tu Xu had entered a meditative state, and was no longer troubled by the affairs of the world!

The mysterious black-robed man shrugged nonchalantly. He had never thought that his first trick would have such a huge impact on his opponent. This was not his intention.

However, since it had already happened, there was nothing much to say. Since it had already happened, he would let it happen. Even if there was a great disaster, he would still have to bear it. He would have to defend when the army came, and when the water came, the earth would cover it.

Just because he did not cause trouble did not mean that he was afraid of trouble!

------

Taking a deep breath, his expression was slightly solemn.

This was his second time concocting pills. Furthermore, it was a tier 3 Barrier Breaking Pill, a tier higher refinement. If he did not mention it in detail, the Fire Dragon Cauldron that he had obtained with great difficulty would fly away like that Spirit Stone. Furthermore, the aura that he had created for Lang Xie would also fester like an ant's nest, and it would not be able to get out of control.

He had already started collecting the materials for the Barrier Breaking Pill a long time ago. His goal was to refine it one day. He didn't expect that it would be refined in a foreign land like the Wind Mist Imperial Palace, and in the form of the Pill Competition.

As soon as the Storage Ring was opened, all of a sudden, a pillar of herbs and herbs flew out, forming a parabola that accurately fell into the Fire Dragon Cauldron's interior.

A tier three medicinal pill required a total of thirty-nine to twenty-seven herbs and herbs. Among them, the unique flame grass of a tier three spiritual herb was the main ingredient. Twenty-six of them were supplementary ingredients. Although it had just entered the third tier, the complexity of the refinement was not much inferior to some of the top tier three medicinal pills.

A tier 3 Barrier Breaking Pill on the market was worth two to three hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone.

As the twenty-seven herbs and herbs entered the Pill Cauldron, the mysterious black-robed man flipped his palm and covered the cauldron with the lid. The hand technique in his hand quickly began to move. It was like a cloud of mist, beautiful and magnificent.

The 'Cloud Illusion Technique' was worthy of being called the refining technique rewarded by the Alchemist Guild. Not only could it be used to refine weapons, it could also be used to refine pills. The two techniques were in mutual pain. This was something that other techniques could not compare with!

Although concocting pills and crafting weapons belonged to the same family, there was still a fundamental difference between the two of them. Their techniques were naturally separated. Refining pills could not be used to craft weapons, or else it would cause the weapon to explode and cause the person to die. Similarly, crafting weapons could not be used to concoct pills.

However, this' Cloud Illusion Technique 'could. From this, one could see that the Alchemist Guild wasn't an ordinary power. It was probably like the Sword God Palace, mysterious and unfathomable, making people unable to figure it out.

Following the movements of the Cloud Illusion Technique, the heart of the mysterious black-robed man sank. There was no ripple in his heart as he abandoned the outside world.

Little did he know that this scene shocked many people in the outside world. Even the fifth-grade alchemist, Tu Xu, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a muffled groan was emitted from within the Pill Cauldron once again.
