As soon as Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian came off the stage, the audience cheered. It was not common to see two great masters taking action in person.
The competition of eighth-grade elixirs is different from other elixirs. In the entire Canglan Continent, there are not many alchemy masters who have officially reached the eighth level or above, not to mention the eighth level materials are also very scarce. Therefore, unlike other grades of elixirs, it is generally divided into early, middle and late grades.
Instead, the contestants report the elixir they want to refine, and then the contestant's grade is judged based on the refining of the medicinal liquid during the refining process, the quantity of the elixir, and the quality of the elixir.
Cheng Ling pondered for a long time, and finally wrote down the recipe for the Tribulation Pill on the paper. The Tribulation Elixir Pill is an essential elixir needed by the Tribulation Overcoming Monk to break through the Mahayana realm. It is not easy to refine. But one thing was that he had seen Chen Danquan refining it. There is a general impression of the materials and techniques required for elixirs.
Moreover, refining the Tribulation Pill has another great benefit. There are very few alchemists who can refine this kind of elixir. If he can succeed, his worth will increase a hundred times, which will be of great help to the future development of the sect.
The monks from the Alchemy Alliance came to him and glanced at the recipe written on the paper. He was startled and quickly suppressed it. He carefully took out the materials for the three-point Tribulation Elimination Pill and placed it on the long table.
Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian glanced at him with their spiritual consciousness, and both looked at him in surprise. They can also refine Duerdan, but the success rate is not high. It is good to be able to refine one or two of them to a lower quality after several furnaces.
This is also the reason why there are not many Mahayana monks. There are no good elixirs to help break through the realm, and there are too many impurities in the low-quality Du'e Dan, making it difficult to achieve a successful breakthrough with just one.
In Canglan Continent, I don’t know how many monks are trapped at the peak of transcending tribulation. Because of the lack of good tribulation elixir, they cannot improve in their lifetime. Doubts arose in their hearts, could he really refine Duerdan? How popular would such a character be in Canglan Continent?
However, it is still in the trial stage now, and they have begun to choose the elixir they want to refine.
Originally, the two of them wanted to choose to refine other elixirs, which were at least less difficult than the Tribulation Dan. However, when they saw the elixir provided by Cheng Ling, by some strange combination of circumstances, they both chose to refine the Tribulation Dan. Competing with Cheng Ling on the alchemy path.
Xiyan was different. He had never refined an eighth-grade elixir before, so he was not very sure. After much deliberation, he finally chose to refine the "Huangji Dan". Huangji Dan was a type of elixir used by monks to improve their cultivation. The difficulty of the medicine is relatively low among the eighth-grade elixirs, and is only used by monks in the early stages of transcending the tribulation.
The other contestants chose the elixirs they wanted to refine and reported all the materials one by one. Soon, the deacon's disciples divided out the materials for the elixirs that everyone needed to refine one by one. There are three copies of everything, which means everyone has three chances.
Cheng Ling carefully checked the materials that were delivered, and sure enough he saw fragrant grass and four-leaf flowers. These two materials are the main materials of the Tribulation Pill and are very rare. He also found that two of them were relatively fresh, the roots were a little moist, and they also had an earthy fragrance. They were obviously just collected.
With a thought in his mind, he collected the two herbs and put them in Liu Qingyan's flower ring. If they could be cultivated, he would make a lot of money. But in this case, he only had two ingredients left, so he had to be extra careful when refining.
If he could use Meteor Fire, his confidence would be even higher. But the glazed fire is much less powerful. After all, the power of the flame is relatively small.
The difference is huge, and it takes more time to refine the herbal essence. Moreover, the glass fire has not been used for a long time, and it is far less skilled than the meteor fire.
After adjusting for a moment, he started refining.
First, he picked out a portion of the herbs, and then began to refine the medicinal solution. There are fifteen kinds of herbs needed to overcome the tribulation pill, and it is very difficult to refine them, especially fragrant grass and four-leaf flower. These two are very active herbs, so you need to be more careful when refining them.
Close your eyes, carefully recall Chen Danquan's alchemy techniques, replay them one by one in your mind, and slowly consider every detail. Time passed slowly, and after a stick of incense, I opened my eyes, and with a sweep of my consciousness, I found that Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian had begun to fuse the medicinal liquid.
In the same competition, it is more difficult to refine the elixir. If you cannot make the elixir first, it is best not to make the elixir with others at the same time and compete for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian's alchemy cultivation, Cheng Ling did not dare to fight with them easily, so he could only avoid their time to ensure that the elixir could be refined.
He took out the herbs and began to refine them one by one, and kept hitting the alchemy furnace with the hand techniques in his hands.
The sounds of "dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang " keep coming out, and bursts of Taoist aura spread out from his body. Chen Danquan glanced at him in surprise. These pills were definitely not taught by him, but the Taoist aura they produced was even stronger.
There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Cheng Ling's talent in alchemy was truly astonishing. He could actually create a suitable alchemy technique by himself, which was better than learning it from others. Indeed, these elixir techniques were developed by him by combining Chen Danquan's elixir techniques and the alchemy theory taught by Wei Liao. If it weren't for the lack of practice with level eight materials, I would have become more proficient in half a year.
Even so, the Dao rhyme conveyed by Danjue is superior to the previous technique. Chen Danquan unconsciously closed his eyes and began to understand.
Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian suppressed the urge to comprehend, and focused on playing different tricks on their alchemy furnaces to refine the medicine.
Several crisp sounds of "Peng Peng Peng Peng" rang out. Under the influence of Cheng Ling's strong Taoist charm, several participating masters failed to control their spiritual power for a moment, and their alchemy furnaces exploded one after another. They hurriedly sat down cross-legged, completely ignoring the broken alchemy furnace on the ground, and focused on comprehending the Taoist charm that was overflowing.
Within a quarter of an hour, the thirteen herbal medicine liquids were refined, and he began to throw the fresh herbs into the alchemy furnace.
Xiangqingcao is a highly active medicinal herb that is very difficult to refine. The reason why many alchemists are unable to refine the Tribulation Pill is because the purity of Xiangqingcao is too low, which affects the overall effectiveness of the medicine.
Cheng Ling did not dare to take it lightly. After throwing the fragrant grass into the alchemy furnace, his consciousness was always paying attention to its changes. The sword essence in the body is also continuously input into the glazed fire, raising its temperature. In this way, he has to control the refining of herbs and increase the flame, which consumes a lot of mental power.
Fortunately, there is plenty of sword energy in his body, so he can still hold on. The fragrant grass slowly melted under the high temperature, and soon turned into a round liquid ball. However, Cheng Ling did not stop, he continued to increase the temperature in the alchemy furnace.
The liquid ball is continuously steamed by high temperature, and the volume begins to become smaller, but the purity is slowly increasing. A quarter of an hour later, the purity of the medicinal solution had reached 90%. This is already very high, and to maintain the high temperature of the flame and the refining of the liquid medicine, the consumption of mental power and sword energy is also very large.
Steaming steam gradually began to emit from the top of his head. This was a manifestation of the high-speed sword energy in his body steaming the sweat.
Persisted for a while
After meeting, he raised the purity of the medicinal solution to 95%, then stopped refining it, and threw the last four-leaf flower into the alchemy furnace.
The extraction of four-leaf flower is much simpler than that of fragrant grass, and the purity of the tea has increased to 97% in a short time. He began to control it with his spiritual consciousness and began to neutralize the medicinal liquid.
When refining the Tribulation Pill, you can usually only make one pill, because you are afraid that the purity of the medicine is not enough, so you can be more sure of bringing them together to form a pill. However, Cheng Ling divided the liquid medicine into three equal parts. When he saw Chen Danquan refining it, there were three pieces.
Chen Danquan's consciousness swept over him and he cursed stupidity in his heart. Considering that he has been immersed in the alchemy path for thousands of years, he was able to master one pot of Tribulation Elixir and turn it into three elixirs. You, Cheng Ling, have never refined an eighth-grade elixir before, so how dare you refine three elixirs at once? I really don’t know how the brain grows!
He didn't know that Cheng Ling had never seen other alchemy masters refining it, so he naturally didn't know that he could improve the success rate and quality of the elixir by reducing the number of elixirs. Compared with one part, the combination of three parts of medicinal solution is not as simple as one plus one, but is improved many times.
Cheng Ling also felt some difficulty at this time. Although his sword essence was pure, it was still far away from the tribulation monks, so he could only refine it while taking supplementary pills.
After another quarter of an hour, he finally divided the liquid medicine into three equal parts, and the fusion began to gradually improve. At this moment, Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian both completed refining the elixir. They reduced the number of completed pills to one, and the refining difficulty was relatively low, so they completed it quickly.
They then focused all their attention on Cheng Ling, and did not extend their spiritual consciousness into the alchemy furnace for fear of disturbing Cheng Ling's refining. But just looking at Cheng Ling's current state, we knew it was a critical moment.
Cheng Ling persisted very hard, but the fusion of the three liquid medicine groups was almost completed. But at this moment, some of the dozens of remaining alchemy masters were about to become alchemy, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding world began to become chaotic. They were busy performing dozens of tricks to maintain the liquid in the alchemy furnace.
It's just that after Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian completed refining the Tribulation Pill, they had already absorbed most of the spiritual power and could not replenish it for a while. It happened that the other contestants were preparing to collect the elixirs, and in an instant, all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was absorbed.
He was shocked in his heart, the elixir kept pouring into it, and the sword essence in his body was continuously transmitted into it. But helplessly, the spiritual power required by the three Tribulation-Transcending Pills was too great and could not be replenished for a while. The three pills in the pill furnace began to disintegrate, and only two pills were left.
Cheng Ling had no choice but to continuously drive the sword element into the remaining two pills. At the same time, he also accelerated the speed of fusion and prepared to collect the pill. Everyone just felt that his handprints were like rain hitting banana trees, constantly hitting the alchemy furnace, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth outside the square was being sucked in crazily.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."
The speed of the hand skills is getting faster and faster, and the overflowing Tao Yun is also more intense. In order to speed up the preparation of the elixir, he began to block it, sealing the spiritual energy in the elixir furnace so that the liquid in it would not collapse.
This time, even Zhao Shizhen and Lu Guangtian sat down cross-legged unconsciously and began to comprehend the Dao rhyme coming out. They both felt that their alchemy realm was beginning to loosen a little.
After another quarter of an hour, Cheng Ling finally performed the trick to collect the pill.
"When...!"
There was a loud noise, and the top cover of the alchemy furnace was finally tightly closed. Cheng Ling pulled with his right hand, and with two soft "ding-ding" sounds, the two pills fell into the prepared jade bottle.
