Qingyang also did not expect that Mu Chu would be so interested in him because of his Spiritual Sense. At this moment, he was also thinking about how to hide his strength.

The mutated Grand Sun Primordial Flame was too eye-catching. After all, no one had ever seen a silver-gray flame in the Land of the Nine Prefectures before.

What was the use of the Cauldron? The truth was that the alchemist's ability to control fire had been strengthened a lot through some of the more precise constructs within the cauldron. Furthermore, the temperature of the flame had also been increased.

For example, many pills required an extremely high flame to be refined. This limited the temperature of the True Fire. However, a good Cauldron could greatly increase the temperature of the True Fire.

Therefore, many famous alchemists also had their own medicine concocting cauldrons. However, in order to be fair, none of the alchemists were allowed to bring their own medicine cauldrons.

Of course, these problems weren't really that big of a problem for a fire medicine master, especially Qingyang's Grand Sun Primordial Flame, the world's most overbearing Fire Emperor. It was believed that regardless of what kind of flame it was, the temperature would not be as high as the Grand Sun Primordial Fire, and Qingyang's control over fire that was born with the Three-legged Golden Crow would also reach an extremely frightening level.

However, in order to avoid the attention of too many people, Qingyang decided to use the same medicine cauldron that the South Rong Family had prepared.

"Everyone, please place all the medicinal herbs on the stone table. Our supervisors will carefully inspect them so that there won't be anyone who can obtain the finished product." After the guard standing at the front announced this, the supervising alchemist began to inspect the herbs prepared by all the participants on the list one by one.

"I didn't think that the Nan Rong family would really do so well on the Medicine Board." As he muttered to himself, Qingyang placed the medicinal herbs he had prepared to refine the Purple Gold Bone Ointment on the stone table, waiting patiently for the supervising alchemist to come examine them.

"Hmm? Just a portion of medicinal herbs? " When Mu Chu saw the various herbs on the Azure Sun Stone's table, he was instantly astonished.

This Purple-Gold Bone Ointment was the third highest quality immortal pill among immortal pills. It was only because there were no divine pill markings, but according to its divine effects, it could be compared to ordinary divine pills.

Therefore, a tyrannical immortal master would need to prepare at least a few portions of medicinal herbs. It would be impossible to melt the purple gold without a high temperature, much less perfectly fuse the purple gold into the pill.

Without a perfect assimilation of the purple gold into the pill, it would be extremely difficult for a person to absorb the incomparably sturdy purple gold without a Xiantian cultivation. The immortal pill would then become a deadly poison.

Therefore, very few immortal masters would choose to refine the Purple Gold Bone Ointment. Not to mention that the success rate was extremely low for an immortal master, even the rarer purple gold was not easy to find!

On the other hand, Qingyang had only prepared a portion of the medicinal herbs. This caused Mu Chu to be shocked in his heart, and his interest in Qingyang increased by a few points.

"Hmm? You want to refine the Purple Gold Bone Ointment? " The supervising alchemist naturally also discovered that Qingyang was different from the others. He raised his head and looked at Qingyang's figure that caused one to spray a mouthful of blood as he restrained his laughter and asked in puzzlement.

"Right." He automatically ignored the supervisor's question. Qingyang also didn't want to attract too much attention, so he only gave a small grunt of acknowledgement.

"Only one portion?" Seeing Qingyang's attitude, the supervising alchemist didn't feel that anything was amiss. After all, there were plenty of eccentric alchemists still unrelenting in their questions.

He frowned slightly and turned his head to glance at the somewhat wordy supervisor. Qingyang didn't pay him any attention and directly listened to his nose, closed his eyes and focused on his heart. Then, his mind wandered away.

The pharmacist tactfully remained silent as he bitterly looked at Qingyang. He checked the herbs of the pharmacist behind him and muttered, "There really are all kinds of people. For an immortal alchemist to refine the Purple-Gold Bone Pith Paste to only have one medicinal herb, it's rare."

However, the surrounding medicinal masters naturally heard it. All of them naturally understood the meaning behind the words "Purple-Gold Bone Ointment". This was an elixir that could only be concocted by an immortal peak immortal medicinal master with a high quality medicinal cauldron and a large enough quantity of medicinal herbs.

Judging from this supervisor's tone, there seemed to be a man who only prepared a portion of medicinal herbs combined with an ordinary medicine cauldron from the Nan Rong family and wanted to refine the Purple-Gold Bone Ointment. Had this man gone mad or was he a fool?

They all looked towards Qingyang with curious, disdainful, or sympathetic gazes. There were even some kind-hearted alchemists who let out a low sigh of confusion, causing Qingyang to become incredibly depressed as well.

Qingyang himself was also a person who didn't know much about professional pharmacists. In the? Alchemy Book?, he had personally refined many immortal pills in the Dongfang family before. With the tyrannical power of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame and his abnormally strong control over fire, as well as his rich experience and perception, he had never failed before.

Now that he could use ordinary items to refine the Three Stripes Divine Pill, he was naturally very confident in the Purple Gold Bone Ointment. Others felt that it was impossible because the purple gold was too hard for them to melt and fuse, but they did not understand their trump card, the Grand Sun Primordial Flame!

There was only one conclusion for all living things in this world when the Grand Sun Primordial Flame surged and burned them into ashes. Why would such a tyrannical temperature not melt that purple gold?

"Alright, the supervising medicinal masters have finished inspecting the medicinal herbs prepared by the various medicinal masters. There's nothing unusual about them." The guard standing in front of him cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "In that case, let me announce that the competition between the immortal alchemists will be held within a time limit of one hour. The distinguished Elders of the Medicine Alliance will assess the quality of the medicinal pills according to the grade, color, medicinal fragrance and medicinal effects of the medicinal pills refined by the various Elders. The competition begins!"

After that guard announced the start of the event, the one hundred and forty immortal alchemists, including Qing Yang, also began to prepare to refine the medicinal pills.

"Refining this Purple Gold Bone Ointment for two hours shouldn't be a problem, so let's begin." With a plan in his mind, Qingyang also began to take a medicinal herb that was placed on the table and threw it into the cauldron to start refining.

The reason why Qingyang didn't use his usual method of "stewing in a pot" was because he was worried that it would attract attention. Although it was a little too long, it was still an extremely simple task for Qingyang.

After refining the Buddhist hand flower, the sea dragon, the dragon liver, and the bitter lotus stone, Qingyang placed the essence of the four medicinal herbs in a bottle that he had prepared beforehand.

"Haha, there is still the last piece of purple gold. After refining it, it will be complete." Feeling delighted, Qingyang placed the purple gold into the Cauldron and started to refine the purple gold with the silver-grey flame in his body.

"Hehe, this kid is really not bad. He managed to refine the Buddhist Hand Flower, Sea Dragon, Subduing Dragon's Liver, and Bitter Lotus Stone within a short span of one incense's time. It seems like he is also very confident in refining this Purple Gold Bone Ointment!" Inwardly nodding his head, Mu Chu, who was standing behind him, was also quite satisfied with Qingyang's performance.

However, the heavens did not predict the future and people were blessed with misfortune. Just when Qingyang was happily refining the last piece of purple gold, something unexpected happened!

"Bang!"

There was a sudden loud noise in the field, with bits and pieces flying everywhere and smoke filling the air. Azure Sun was startled, the pharmacists present were shocked, and even Mu Chu was stunned.

Qingyang had actually exploded!
