C35 Cracked Core?

"This is my teacher, the Third Elder of the Pill Hall, Zhu Qingping!" Elder Guo first respectfully cupped his fist and indicated to Wu Tie, a third rank alchemist. Then, he smugly glanced at Ye Wuchen and continued, "Ye Wuchen, why haven't you met my teacher yet?"

The middle-aged man, Zhu Qingping, smiled as he glanced at Ye Wuchen, as if he was waiting for Ye Wuchen's decision. He was a Grade Three Alchemist, and as a senior, he should receive a bow from the younger generation!

Everyone looked at Ye Wuchen, including Ye Chun. Wu Tie even told Ye Wuchen with his eyes that they should quickly pay their respects to senior. After all, the Third Elder of the Pill Hall was not to be offended.

While everyone was looking forward to it, Ye Wuchen glanced at the precious herbs to the side. There were dozens of them, big and small, all bought from outside by Lin Xiaoqi from thousands of miles away. There were all kinds of herbs below the Grade Four Pills.

"Since the Dou Dan has started, I will start concocting pills!" Ye Wuchen's few words stirred up a huge commotion. Ye Wuchen actually didn't pay his respects to a third tier apothecary or even bother about it. He was simply too arrogant and had no boundaries.

Zhu Qingping also narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he nodded lightly: "Interesting, so interesting!"

"You, Ye Wuchen, you dare to be disrespectful to my teacher?" Elder Guo roared and clenched his fists, glaring at Ye Wuchen. Ye Wuchen just glanced at him and smiled lightly: "He is your teacher, not mine. I respect others only in my heart, not in my mouth!"

"Good, this old man will make you die an ugly death!" Elder Guo let out a furious roar. His anger could not be calmed down. He could only look at the herbs at the side. Gradually, he calmed down. The taboo in refining pills was getting impatient.

"I'll refine a grade two Origin Returning Pill for the City Governor's little brother!" The moment Elder Guo's voice came out, it created a thousand ripples. Even Lin Xiaoqi was very surprised.

A second grade Origin Returning Pill was not easy to refine. If there was a mistake, it would turn into ashes, and even a set of medicinal herbs would be wasted. However, if it was successfully refined, it would definitely shock some people.

"Alright!" Zhu Qingping only nodded with a faint smile. However, he was very satisfied with being able to see him. As long as his disciple could concoct the Origin Returning Pill, his face would shine.

"Origin Returning Grass, Crystal Grass, and Nine Grasses Grass, one for each!" Elder Guo had already picked the herbs that he needed and quickly picked the herbs that he needed. He brought out his own furnace and it was a copper furnace that was half the height of a man. There were holes in both sides of the furnace.

"Fire!" Suddenly, a flame ignited from the hole in the stove. With a puff, a fiery flame lit up the entire arena. Even though it was daytime, the intense heat made it difficult for many people to endure and they retreated continuously.

With the high temperature of several hundred degrees, refining pills was already enough.

"Origin Returning Grass, put the Crystal Grass in first!"

"Then there's Niu Mu Teng, Nine Valley Grass, Crimson Gold Sand!" Elder Guo started the entire process of refining the pills in an orderly manner, attracting the attention of more and more people. These medicinal herbs were hard to buy due to their high cost. Using these herbs could be said to be extravagant.

Lin Xiaoqi felt pained at the side, but he felt that it was worth it for his younger brother to compete in the academy.

Ye Wuchen, on the other hand, was still motionless. Ye Wuchen was quietly looking at the herbs, staring blankly into space, not knowing what to think, making more and more people want to mock him. However, remembering Ye Wuchen's ferocity from before, he swallowed it back down, but more and more mockery appeared in his eyes.

"Chen'er, Chen'er!" Ye Chun sat beside Lin Xiaoqi and worriedly called out to Ye Wuchen. However, Ye Wuchen seemed to have gone dumb and did not have any reaction. Ye Chun's heart was sinking deeper and deeper. Was he going to lose just like that?

No one could guess that Ye Wuchen wasn't really shocked at this moment. It was just that he needed to carefully choose the herbs. A bold idea appeared in his mind. Refining a grade-2 pill? Ye Wuchen was preparing to refine a Tier 3 pill.

As for the name of the pill, it was very simple crack core!

To refine a pill was a success. If the crack core was refined, it would become a waste and be despised by others. However, in this world, only Ye Tian was the only alchemist that knew how to refine a crack core.

Once crack core s appeared, all the ten thousand pellets would become ants.

"Ice Break Grass, Blazing Stone, Three Immortal Grass, and Beast Bones. Thankfully, I have them all. Then, I can only refine a Tier 3 pill!" Ye Wuchen finally reacted and stretched out his hand to pick up the herbs mentioned.

"It's finally begun!" Ye Chun took a deep breath. Even though he knew his son was going to lose, as long as he dared to concoct pills, it would be a success. Even if he lost, he would have no regrets.

Ye Wuchen didn't know what Ye Chun was thinking. If he did, who knew how long he would have to force a smile.

The Holy Shield Furnace was lifted up by Lin Feng, or to be more precise, it was placed on the stage. Everyone stared at the fist-sized furnace in a daze, and could not help but laugh out loud.

"Haha, this is too funny, is this an alchemy furnace? The chamber pots are bigger than this, right? "

"Indeed, he has never forged a pill before!"

"What kind of pills can this kind of furnace refine?" I think that Ye Wuchen is doomed to die. Don't even think about getting off easy by offending the Pill Hall! "

… ….

Ye Wuchen ignored the ridicule and humiliation from the outside and continued to do what he wanted, placing the herbs and ingredients into the Holy Shield Furnace s one by one in order. The Holy Shield Furnace's flame turned blood-red, and once the blood colored flame appeared, the surrounding temperature was raised by a lot, it was even hotter than Elder Guo's fire inside the furnace.

"This furnace is not simple!" Zhu Qingping muttered and his heart became heavier. From the moment he took it out, he suddenly realized that Ye Wuchen could not be a pretentious person.

Time slowly passed. Elder Guo's Origin Returning Pill was already in its final stage. The old man's face was covered in sweat, but he couldn't wipe it off. If there was even the slightest mistake, this Origin Returning Pill would be wasted.

Everyone stared into the furnace, and between them, a round green ammunition began to emit pill light. It was round after round, a total of two rounds of pill light. This meant that the second grade Origin Returning Pill had been successfully refined!

"Haha, this old man has succeeded, this old man has succeeded!" Elder Guo laughed out loud. With a wave of his left hand, he took out the Origin Returning Pill and wrapped it in Essence to prevent the air from getting contaminated and corroding it. He then placed it in a special bottle and passed it to the disciple beside him.

"Take it out for the elders to see!" Elder Guo took a deep breath. His face was full of excitement and he intentionally looked at Ye Wuchen. However, Ye Wuchen's face was grave and the fist-sized stove was filled with medicinal materials. He couldn't help but sneer at Ye Wuchen.

The pill was handed to the three Alchemy Hall Elders. The two Rank 2 Elders had already taken a look at the pill and could be sure that it was a Tier 2 Origin Returning Pill. Zhu Qingping could also confirm with a nod of his head.

"All five elders agree that this is a Grade Two Origin Returning Pill, and it's a Superior Grade Origin Returning Pill!" Lin Xiaoqi announced with a serious face. Although he was inclined towards Ye Wuchen in his heart, since the pills in Ye Wuchen's furnace were not fully formed, there was nothing he could do to help him.

"It looks like Elder Guo is going to win!" Everyone had the same thought, waiting for Ye Wuchen's pill to come out and they would have the result.

"Based on the time of refining pills, Ye Wuchen has already missed the best opportunity to reach the Large Success Stage. This pill is useless!" An elder of Imperial College sighed with a helpless look on his face. Hearing what was said, Wu Tie who was beside him was slightly startled, but immediately lamented and felt that it was a pity.

As time passed, a trace of sweat appeared on Ye Wuchen's face. After all, he wasn't like his previous life. Without the powerful mental energy from his previous life supporting him, refining a Level 3 Elixir would be extremely taxing.

"Old partner, don't embarrass me. We have never lost a Pill Debate before. If you lose to a mere grade-2 apothecary, just die!" Ye Wuchen whispered from the corner of his mouth, as if the Holy Shield Furnace heard Ye Wuchen's words. Instantly, it released waves after waves of blood-colored flames, and then drowned the furnace.

This scene was naturally noticed by everyone. When the flames submerged the furnace, it naturally submerged the pills as well. Many people lamented the fact that they had lost.

Elder Guo looked down at Ye Wuchen coldly, waiting for the latter's defeat.

However, only Ye Wuchen himself knew the situation inside the furnace. The first crack appeared on the pill, followed by a second crack, followed by a second crack.

Time passed slowly. Five hours had passed since Elder Guo's completion of the pill and the sky was about to turn dark. However, there was still no result from Ye Wuchen. Many people were getting impatient.
