C941 There Were No Rules or Regulations
The furnace explosion didn't attract much of the attention of the other alchemists. After all, this was only due to their lack of skill in alchemy. It wasn't anyone's fault, and their time was limited, so no one had that much time to pay attention to the mistakes of others. If they were to pay attention to the process of other people's pill concoction and cause their own furnace to explode, then the loss outweighed the gain.
Apart from the man who had blown up the furnace, there had been a number of people who had been disqualified because of problems that had been plaguing them for a long time, and they had had no choice but to leave.
"Why isn't he starting yet? Could it be that he came to watch someone else refine pills? "He Xinsong had been paying attention to Lee Zhuohua the entire time, and found that this person was very strange. He had never started refining pills.
It almost made him go down to blast people away, and Wan Mu was also observing Lee Zhuohua. He found that this young man was still calm, and did not have the slightest bit of anxiety because of the passage of time.
This made him a little uncertain, feeling that this young man must have made some preparations, but there were only two hours left. Even if he were to go down and refine Pills, two hours would be a little tight. He didn't know what Lee Zhuohua would do next.
Lee Zhuohua stood in the middle of the plaza with his arms crossed. After looking at these alchemists for two hours, he felt that he had more or less understood the alchemy of this world.
"It's basically no different from the pill refining skills of the thousands of pills. It's just that the technique of tempering the medicinal properties is a little rough." Lee Zhuohua muttered in his heart.
Then, he started to look at the materials in front of him.
"Five Grain Wood, Blood Lotus, Snake Scale Grass ..."
After looking through them one by one, Lee Zhuohua already wanted to refine some Pills.
Although these materials were ordinary, if the medicinal properties were refined, they could be used to refine high level Pills. It was just that what he was participating in right now was not some high level pill refining competition, so there was no need for him to refine Pills that surpassed the current level of the competition.
"It seems like those two should be the two with the best alchemy skills. From the aura, the Pills they refine should be Rank Three Pills. Fine, then I will also refine Rank Three Pills." Lee Zhuohua had also been watching the process of Chenhua and Qin Nanqin refining the pills.
What Lee Zhuohua was planning to refine was a third grade Pill called the Heaven's Mandate Pill. This type of Pill was considered to be of the best quality among the third grade Pills. It could even be compared to some fourth grade Pills, because the effects of this kind of Pill were extremely special. It could allow the consumer to enter a state of meditation and clearly understand all of the bottlenecks in front of them.
It could be said that as long as one consumed this Pill, they would be able to break through immediately after waking up. Thus, this kind of Pill was very popular among the cultivators.
However, this kind of Pill was extremely troublesome to refine. Although the materials were simple, it was used to temper the medicinal properties. If it wasn't for some alchemists who had been famous for a long time, it would be impossible for them to temper the medicinal properties to the requirements of refining the Heaven's Mandate Pill.
Lee Zhuohua was one of the alchemists who could refine this kind of Pills.
Lee Zhuohua slapped the table, and all the materials needed to refine the Heaven's Mandate Pill flew up. A flame with extremely low temperature ignited in Lee Zhuohua's hands.
It wrapped around these materials.
"What is he doing? How could this type of flame force out the medicinal properties?" When He Xinsong saw that Lee Zhuohua had finally made his move, he thought that his refining technique would be astonishing.
When he saw Lee Zhuohua using a type of low-temperature flame to temper the medicinal properties, his face revealed a disappointed expression. It was common knowledge that if one wanted to temper the medicinal properties of the material, one had to control the temperature of the flame to an extremely high temperature. Otherwise, it would be useless.
Not only was He Xinsong shocked, but Lee Zhuohua's methods were no different from that of an amateur in the eyes of the other alchemists.
However, Lee Zhuohua did not pay attention to the others' expressions. Lee Zhuohua's refinement of the medicinal properties was only higher than theirs and not lower. The reason why he used this kind of low temperature flame was because the Heaven's Mandate Pill belonged to an ice attribute Pills. If the temperature was too high, it would destroy the final pill.
It could be said that using low temperatures to temper the medicinal properties was the most suitable method to refine the Heaven's Mandate Pill.
Traces of medicinal liquid slowly seeped out under the burning of the flames. Lee Zhuohua carefully extracted these medicinal pills.
When all the materials had been burned up, a ball of black liquid slowly floated in Lee Zhuohua's hand. This was the key to refining the Heaven's Mandate Pill.
"He can even refine a liquid with this? It seems like his luck is pretty good." He Xinsong said in surprise.
As for Wan Mu, he stared at Lee Zhuohua suspiciously without saying a word. Using low-temperature flames to refine the medicinal properties was a method that he had never heard of before, and he didn't even dare to think about it.
After all, the materials needed to refine the pill were all very precious, so he couldn't do anything about it. But now that he saw Lee Zhuohua successfully refine the medicinal liquid, it made him curious about the method of tempering the medicinal properties at a low temperature.
He did not think that Lee Zhuohua had only refined the medicinal properties because he was lucky because the young man looked too calm, as if everything was under his control.
"Bam!"
Another muffled sound came out.
Everyone thought that someone was about to blow up the furnace. They all looked over and found that the sound came from Qin Nanqin.
Qin Nanqin's pill furnace kept making rumbling sounds as if a ferocious beast was rampaging inside. The crowd was amazed.
"The medicinal properties of the Tiger Soul Pill are extremely strong, and it is also very unstable during the process of refining. If you can't control it well, it might explode. If you want to refine this kind of Pills, it will test the alchemist's control over it." Wan Mu said.
"Bam."
The roaring continued, as if the pill furnace was about to explode. However, there was no trace of anxiety on Qin Nanqin's face. Everything was under his control.
He skillfully controlled the temperature and the air whirl. Although the pill furnace kept roaring, there was no sign of it exploding.
Seeing this, everyone praised Qin Nanqin's control over the furnace. If it was anyone else, the furnace would have exploded a long time ago.
"Buzz ~"
On the other side, although Chenhua's pill furnace was not as fierce as Qin Nanqin's, and seemed to be very calm, waves of light continued to ripple out from his pill furnace.
That was the sign of his Green Cloud Pill being about to be completed. He did not expect that his pill refining speed would be so fast, and he was actually about to complete the pill first.
Lee Zhuohua did not pay attention to the situation of the two of them. In his pill refining state, Lee Zhuohua was completely focused, without the slightest bit of relaxation.
He had not thrown the medicinal liquid into the pill furnace. He was still using his own spiritual energy to support the medicinal liquid. He was constantly injecting spiritual energy into it, as if he was adjusting something.
"What is he doing? The medicinal liquid has already been refined. If you still don't throw it into the furnace to form the pill, will he know how to refine pills?" The people who had lost their qualification but did not leave noticed the situation on Lee Zhuohua's side and asked with a puzzled expression.
"He doesn't have any skills. I think he doesn't know how to refine pills at all." The people on the side who had also lost their qualifications chimed in.
These people had lost their qualifications, so when they saw such a person who did not take the ordinary path, they naturally did not have a good impression of him. All the grievances of failure were sent to Lee Zhuohua.
"What is he doing? If he doesn't put it into the furnace now, the medicinal properties of the medicinal liquid will be activated. "He Xinsong said with a frown when he saw Lee Zhuohua's playful pill refining technique.
