One hour later …

On Shi Ling's side, after an hour of heating, the herbs had already thoroughly softened. One could even see black filth appearing on their surface, which was the impurities within them.

However, some of the older herbs were still very hard. Although they had been heated for more than an hour, they did not soften.

Gongsun Xiaoxuan counted her herbs. There were a total of 23 herbs. If she were to use the Dual Star Refinement Technique, she would be able to refine 17 herbs within two hours. Thinking of this, a hint of happiness appeared on Gongsun Xiaoxuan's face.

Because, if it were seventeen herbs, then the first place would belong to them.

Shi Ling then said, "Is there anything else we need to do now?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan shook her head and said, "No need. If we continue to do this, we will be judged as having stolen the competition. We just need to wait for the host to announce the start of the competition."

Shi Ling nodded and didn't say anything else. He then sat cross-legged with Gongsun Xiaoxuan and started to recover his mana. At the same time, Shi Ling took out Azurite Stone for Gongsun Xiaoxuan to absorb.

Gongsun Xiaoxuan was curious about the egg-sized cyan stone, because it was the first time she had heard of something that could quickly restore cultivator's vitality. After personally experiencing it, she immediately praised the Azurite Stone without end.

When she asked where Shi Ling got this Azurite Stone, Shi Ling said that one of his friends gave it to him.

Gongsun Xiaoxuan didn't ask any further about this.

As for Yuan Hao, after an hour of recuperation, his amputated limb had basically completely recovered. Even though it was a bit inconvenient to use, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the competition later on.

At this moment, Yuan Hao's gaze turned towards the 30 herbs on his medicine concocting table. He wasn't like Shi Ling and the others, the herbs were directly heated up as soon as they were in his hands.

At this time, Yang Xiong walked up and said: "Young Master, based on your current condition, will there really be no problems during the second round?"

From Yang Xiong's tone, Ye Zichen could tell that he was worried that something would happen to Yuan Hao while he was refining the herbs.

However, Yuan Hao instead lifted up his severed limb and waved it in front of Yang Xiong, saying: "Why do you think Stellar Source Fruit can be called the healing panacea of the cultivation world?"

Saying that, he clenched his hand into a fist in front of Yuan Hao and said, "Although I can't use much strength right now, I can still refine a few herbs!"

With these words, a very confident expression appeared on his face. At this moment, he looked completely different from the cowardly person who had shouted at him in the Medicine Valley.

However, there was nothing strange about that. In terms of alchemy, Yuan Hao had the confidence to face anyone as long as he entered that aspect!

Yang Xiong didn't say anything more about this.

However, at this time, the host on the high platform suddenly spoke to the many disciples below: "The break time is over. Let's begin the second round of the competition. I will now explain the rules of the competition to everyone …"

The general meaning of it was similar to what Gongsun Xiaoxuan had told Shi Ling, but with Gongsun Xiaoxuan's few words, Shi Ling could understand it, but he could still speak for a long time. Luckily, he finished the second round of the competition very quickly, so he immediately announced: "Let's start the round two hours from now!"

When these words were spoken, several flames suddenly rose up in the alchemy plaza. It was obvious that all the Medicine Boy had already begun.

On the other side of the high platform, Gongsun Yun was still expressionlessly smoking. He just stood there quietly with his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something. Yuan Sha's eyes, on the other hand, were like an eagle's as they constantly scanned between Shi Ling and Yuan Hao!

On Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan's side, the two of them were seated facing each other. In front of them was a pill furnace with a stalk of herb floating above it.

Immediately, the Fa Li on their bodies was released. Following that, everyone present could feel the clouds in the sky churning, and in the next moment, they saw two beams of light descending from the sky at the same time, landing on Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan's bodies.

In the distance, Yuan Hao's pupils suddenly constricted. Not only him, even the Alchemy Grandmaster Xu Ye, who was seated on the Spiritual Seat, also looked in the direction of Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan. At this moment, he revealed an expression of interest.

Gongsun Yun, who still had his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this moment. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Why is he using the Dual Star Refinement Technique so quickly?"

Yuan Sha, who was standing beside Gongsun Yun, had an ugly expression on his face. He thought to himself: "Since when did the Medicine Refinery Hall have another person that had mastered the two star alchemy?"

Thinking about this, he turned around and looked at Gongsun Yun, who was beside him. He noticed that Gongsun Yun had a very calm expression on his face. It was obvious that he knew about this a long time ago.

Then, before the people on the stage could recover from their shock, they saw a black flame rise up at this moment on Yuan Hao's side. Some of the sharper eyed people recognized it at a glance and immediately exclaimed: "That's the Black Demon Flame! It is a flame that only those who have reached the level of an alchemist can control! "

However, there was someone who felt that it was strange that Yuan Hao could control the Black Demon Flames. One must know that if a person who had not reached the pharmacist level wanted to control the powerful flames, they would be burnt to ashes in an instant! Then why can Yuan Hao do it? could it be that he had already been promoted to the level of a pharmacist, and if he had truly become one, then he no longer had the qualifications to participate in Medicine Refinery Assemble.

But when everyone saw the scene clearly, they suddenly realized that behind Yuan Hao was Yang Xiong. He was injecting his own mana into Yuan Hao's body, which meant that two veteran high level Medicine Boy were controlling a type of flame. In this way, it could explain why Yuan Hao could control the Black Demon Flames.

On the high platform, the grandmaster of alchemy, Xu Ye, who was sitting on his spiritual seat, immediately drank a mouthful of wine into his mouth, then let out a burp and laughed: "Looks like today's Medicine Refinery Assemble will definitely be filled with an astonishing competition. Luckily, this old man has come, otherwise, it is truly possible that he will miss this good show."

Saying that, he chuckled again. He really did look like a bad old man who only knew how to drink.
