"It sounds like there are quite a lot of choices for the first round of exams... things like Huanshuiming Dan, Qinghui Xinsan, and Tide Surge Dan are all very suitable."
"Shut up, any of these elixirs you are talking about are above the seventh level? Fairy Xia and that Lu Lan must be refining the elixirs above the seventh level!"
"Isn't it too risky to refine elixirs above level seven in the first round?"
"There are three rounds in the final decisive battle. You only need to win two rounds to determine the final victory... Winning the first round first is naturally the most important thing!"
"But it's too difficult to refine seventh-level elixirs... They all have the possibility of failure, right?"
Many people guessed Lu Lan and Xia Ningmo's intentions, but most of them thought it was too risky for them to do so.
After all, two people have to fight for the first medicinal ingredient.
Secondly, once you can't get the medicinal materials you want, you can only quickly think about the next suitable elixir, otherwise the other party will take the lead.
Even if you get the medicinal materials you want later, the failure rate of nearly 60% for seventh-level elixirs is no joke.
There's still a good chance they'll fail.
The next moment, Lu Lan and Xia Ningmo began to compete for medicinal materials.
Luoshui Restoration Pill and Tinghai Xinhuxin Pill are the same in only a few medicinal materials, but it is not that there are no substitutes. It is just that the difficulty of refining and the failure rate of making the pill will be higher.
As soon as the soul power was released, Lu Lan could sense that Xia Ningmo's soul power was really powerful and powerful.
It seems that he is born with that kind of power.
This should be one of her strongest talents... Such a powerful soul power, if you don't practice the soul path or become an alchemist, such a powerful talent will be wasted.
The reason why Lu Lan's own soul power is strong is mainly due to the tempering of his inherited mysterious skills.
If he had not inherited the mysterious skills, he would naturally be far inferior to Xia Ningmo.
The soul powers of the two collided secretly, and they both tested each other.
Xia Ningmo was also quite surprised by Lu Lan's soul strength... This was the first alchemist of her generation she had ever seen who could match hers in soul strength.
You know, even the original "Holy Son" Zhan Xuanyuan was slightly inferior to her in terms of soul strength.
After the initial surprise, Xia Ningmo sensed the movement of Lu Lan's soul power.
As soon as she touched the six rings, she knew what medicinal materials were in them.
She wanted to know what kind of elixir Lu Lan was going to refine.
Soon, she sensed what the medicinal materials Lu Lan took were.
"Xinmingcao, Haixinhua, Wuhe Xinling..."
Xia Ningmo immediately guessed what he was going to refine: "He wants to refine the Tinghai Xinhu Dan?"
She naturally knew very well that the Tinghai Heart-protecting Pill was one level higher than the Luoshui Restoring Pill she was about to refine.
The reason why she did not choose to refine this elixir was naturally because it was more difficult to refine, and she could not guarantee that she would be able to refine it without making mistakes the first time.
Although the medicinal materials in the six rings are rich in variety and quantity, even if you fail the first time, you can still use the medicinal materials to refine it a second time.
But since we have reached the decisive stage and the opponent is an alchemist like Lu Lan, the first refining is naturally not allowed to fail.
"Interfer with him, at least not let him get the medicine he wants so comfortably."
So Xia Ningmo made a decision, and the huge and powerful soul power seemed to turn into a big hand, reaching out to the three rings that Lu Lan's soul power mainly covered.
Lu Lan had already responded, and his soul power instantly turned into a shield, directly covering the three rings.
Xia Ningmo's soul power suddenly transformed into a spear, poking at the shield.
The shield formed by Lu Lan's soul power was very hard, but the spear formed by Xia Ningmo's soul power was also very sharp. When it pierced the soul shield, Lu Lan felt his soul sea being stung. Then a moment.
Of course, even if the shield is broken, his soul sea will not be greatly affected, at least it will not be severely damaged.
The two of them were very restrained in this regard.
"Interfering with me to prevent me from getting the medicinal materials, right? Then I can't make it easy for you."
With a thought, Lu Lan once again divided part of his soul power into another big hand and reached for the other three rings.
The other three rings happened to contain most of the medicinal materials Xia Ningmo needed.
Yes, he had already seen what kind of elixir Xia Ningmo was going to refine.
"not good!"
Xia Ningmo looked stern, and quickly allocated part of her soul power to protect the three rings.
In this way, the two of them were deadlocked in the battle for soul power, and could not tell the difference for the time being.
If this continues, it will only waste more and more time, and no one will be able to start refining the elixir.
In the end, it was Lu Lan who took the lead.
He suddenly withdrew his soul power, leaving Xia Ningmo unable to react for a moment.
In the end, he actually divided his soul power into thin streams, and forced his way through the spear and shield formed by Xia Ningmo's soul power.
He wants to take all the medicinal materials needed from the six rings!
He...he actually forced his way in? !
Xia Ningmo didn't expect that Lu Lan could use his soul power to such an extent... It was as if he could use his arms and fingers.
And I don't know why, his soul power and her soul power are so entangled, as if their spirits are blended together.
Especially when his soul power forcibly passed through her soul power, she felt as if she was being touched by a pair of hands all over her body.
No one noticed that under the illusion veil, Xia Ningmo's face had turned red, as if it could drip water.
"No, if we continue like this... we won't have time to refine the medicine."
Xia Ningmo gave up guarding and withdrew her soul power.
Once he withdrew like this, Lu Lan no longer had any obstruction and got the medicinal materials he wanted extremely smoothly.
Therefore, in the eyes of all the spectators at the Shendan Medicine Refinery, a lot of medicinal materials flew out of the six rings, but they all flew towards Lu Lan.
"Ah? What happened? Did Lu Lan get all the medicinal materials he wanted?"
"In the competition of soul power...Xia Fairy actually lost?"
"How is this possible...how can Fairy Xia lose!"
When it comes to using soul power to fight for medicinal materials, almost many people did not expect that Xia Ningmo did not steal Lu Lan.
This time, Xia Ningmo completely lost the opportunity.
"In terms of the use of soul power...Lu Lan is actually better."
There was a hint of appreciation in Yan Xuzhi's tone: "I think Lu Lan should not forget to hone his soul power every day... Although Ningmo's soul power is also very powerful, after all, it has not been tempered much, and the degree of use is still lacking. Some heat.”
"That's true... But in the end, it still depends on the step of refining the medicine. If there is a mistake in the step of refining the medicine, even if that little guy Lu Lan gets the upper hand, Ningmo will only win in the end."
Wen Guangdao also recognized Lu Lan's excellence in using soul power, but he was still optimistic about Xia Ningmo.
Sitting not far from them, Cang Luan Ming kept his eyes on Xia Ningmo and didn't look at Lu Lan at all.
At this time, an old man beside him suddenly transmitted a message to him:
"Ninth Prince, the soul power of these two alchemists is very powerful... They are both very suitable as 'sacrifice'."
His voice was very hoarse, as if it didn't come from his throat.
Cang Luan Ming's eyebrows moved slightly and he replied in a leisurely tone:
"Oh? Isn't that just right?"
"As long as that master absorbs the soul power of these two people, he can leave this woman Xia Ningmo to me."
Only the three of them knew who the "sir" he was talking about was.
Xia Ningmo paid no attention to anything going on outside the court at this moment.
All she knew was that she had lost the opportunity.
If you want to win, you can only make no mistakes in the next step of refining the medicine, and you must complete the medicine refining one step faster than Lu Lan.
So she also took out the medicinal materials she wanted from the six rings and began to refine the elixir.
Next is the round of snatching time.
The process of refining medicine is too boring, especially when the two people are preparing to refine seventh-level elixirs. Therefore, many people directly close their eyes and rest their minds at the Shendan medicine refining site, or simply use the medicine to Shenzong's strong medicinal energy began to be cultivated.
Naturally, people from the Yaoshen Sect didn't care either.
What they care more about is whether Xia Ningmo can win the first round.
After all, the decisive battle of the Medicine God Conference is no longer a civil war between the Medicine God Sects like before. No matter who loses or wins, it will be because of the Medicine God Sect's face.
But things are different now.
If Xia Ningmo loses, the Yaoshen Sect will be completely disgraced.
Although it is only the first round now, the outcome is not particularly important... but if we can win first, then the pressure in the second round will be much less.
"Luoshui Restoring Pill, Listening to the Sea and Protecting Heart Pill..."
Wen Guangdao touched his beard: "Ningmo probably chose to refine the Luoshui Restoring Pill for stability, but Lu Lan actually chose to refine the Tinghai Xinhudan. He really has the ability to refine this Pill?"
Looking at the entire Yaoshen Sect, the seventh-level middle-grade Luoshui Restoring Pill can basically only be refined stably by elder-level alchemists.
And even for elder-level alchemists, if they were asked to refine the seventh-level high-grade Tinghai Xinhu Dan, there would still be a high failure rate.
So Wen Guangdao doubted whether Lu Lan could really refine it.
"He dares to refine this elixir, which means he should have a lot of confidence."
Yan Xuzhi said: "And I think his technique is quite proficient, and there are no mistakes in the steps. I just wonder if the time can be shortened."
The higher the difficulty, the longer it will take to refine it into an elixir.
The first thing to look at in this first round is the length of time it takes to become an elixir... Whoever becomes an elixir first will have an advantage.
At this moment, Lu Lan suddenly made the cauldron fire in the Fixing Cauldron become much stronger, as if he wanted to forcibly speed up the time for the pill to be formed!
"What is he doing?!"
This time, it was Zhan Xuanyuan who was anxious.
He knew what kind of elixir Lu Lan wanted to refine, and he also naturally knew how to refine the elixir into a pill.
But he didn't expect that at the last moment when the elixir was about to be completed, Lu Lan actually increased the intensity of the fire and forcibly shortened the time required to complete the elixir!
This can easily lead to elixir destruction!
Yan Xuzhi, Wen Guangdao and other discerning alchemists also saw Lu Lan's actions and purpose, but thought that Lu Lan's move was too risky and would have a high probability of failure.
However, Lu Lan made a shocking move at this time——
He separated part of his soul power, reached into a certain ring, and took out a medicinal ingredient.
"Xuan Huo Rui? This medicinal material cannot be refined into Tinghai Xinhudan? And it obviously conflicts with other medicinal materials of Tinghaixinhudan!"
Wen Guangdao was stunned for a moment.
He thought Lu Lan was ill and sought medical treatment, but Yan Xuzhi beside him became excited and said:
"No, he is not going to add Xuanhuo Core into it to refine it into Tinghai Xinhudan... Have you forgotten that Xuanhuo Core has another function?"
"...He wants the Mysterious Fire Core to melt into the fire and stabilize the fire, thus reducing the failure rate of forming a pill?!"
Wen Guangdao reacted immediately.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Xia Ningmo was clearly approaching the moment of becoming a pill.
Xia Ningmo glanced at Lu Lan with her beautiful eyes, and then her voice sounded:
"Luoshui Restoration Pill, Chengdan!"
Almost at the same moment as her voice sounded, Lu Lan's voice also sounded.
"Listen to the sea and protect your heart, become a pill!"
