Zhong Lingge was immersed in the steps of selecting the impurities of spiritual plants, concentrating on sensing the breath of the plants, using their vitality that has not been completely lost to find the parts that are inconsistent with the medicinal properties and spiritual power, and then patiently picking them out with his spiritual consciousness.
This process took nearly an hour. People in the stands watched her with her eyes closed and motionless. For a while, she held a spiritual plant and suspended it in front of her. They couldn't tell what she was doing.
"Hehe, I told you, alchemy is not as simple as you think. If anyone could get started, there would be so many alchemists in the Immortal Realm! If Zhong Lingge won the prize in the arena competition, he should have accepted it as soon as he saw it. It was me instead. You wouldn’t be so greedy!”
"That's because you're useless!"
Lin Wu couldn't stand listening. For the first time, he was not careful about his words and deeds, so he had the courage to reply a few words.
"If you can't do it yourself, just stop talking, and don't shout so loudly that everyone will know! I think you don't understand what fellow Zhong Daoyou is doing, and you are venting your personal grudges here by knowing the way of alchemy!"
"A poor casual cultivator dares to make a noise, I——"
Before the Immortal Cauldron disciple finished speaking, several glances with murderous intent swept around him, all of them were "poor casual cultivators" who had reached the stage of Qi Refining and were in the later stages.
His throat felt itchy, he coughed a few words to stop talking, curled his lips and stopped talking.
Lin Wu was actually always anxious, but he just said harsh words to help Zhong Lingge get away. On the surface, he could only pretend to be as confident as Lan Siyue, but in fact, he was so anxious that he asked several times.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, what kind of alchemy technique is this? Give me an accurate answer. Can Fellow Daoist Zhong know how to make alchemy?"
"I don't know if she can. I only know that she can become a pill."
"W-what kind of words are these!"
Lin Wu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and became even more confused.
The surrounding monks are also talking about it. Ninety-nine percent of the monks think that Zhong Lingge may be here to gain experience and play with the spiritual plant, but it is impossible to make a pill.
Only an elderly woman who had perfected Qi refining, after a long silence, murmured to her companions in an uncertain tone: "Zhong Daoyou's method seems to be inherited from Tai Chi Alchemy. The impurities in the spiritual plants must be removed first. Will turn on the stove."
The companions were doubtful and never optimistic. "She has a master who transforms into gods, and her inheritance is naturally first-class. It's just that she may be difficult to succeed in the middle stage of Qi refining."
at the same time.
The Nascent Soul Masters guarding the aerial stand also noticed Zhong Lingge's unusual method of refining alchemy.
The real people from the big clan in the east who are good at alchemy all saw that she was following the steps of Tai Chi alchemy, her technique was skillful, and she was definitely not joking.
"This young disciple of Jidao Sect has many surprises."
"Haha, who told you that you didn't know the goods and turned people away because of their qualifications?"
"She has five spiritual roots. Even if she is of heavenly rank, it will be difficult for her to become a great talent. No matter how many surprises she has, she will not be able to go far without the support of her realm."
"I think it's time to change my mind. The Divine Transformation Lord of Jidao Sect will never recruit her into the sect for no reason. This shows that the Five Spiritual Roots are not a dead end, but we don't know it yet."
The high and low realm monks outside the field were no longer in Zhong Lingge's thoughts. She picked out the last impurity, connected her mind to the small white furnace, and turned on the earth fire in the eyes of countless pairs of questions or expectations.
The earth fire has been debugged by Xuanyuan Sect and is the most suitable intensity and temperature for use during the Qi refining period. The advantage is that you don't have to devote your mind to controlling the flame. The disadvantage is that it is not as easy as controlling fire by oneself at a high level.
Zhong Lingge threw the Lingzhi into the preheated small white furnace and forced out the last traces of impurities under high-temperature baking. He shook the furnace to allow the plants to be heated evenly during the liquefaction process.
At the beginning, the liquefied spirit plant was crystal clear. As the flames condensed and the alchemy furnace shook rapidly, it gradually became viscous and became closer to a solid bit by bit.
The alchemist's handprint for forming an elixir needs to be accurately timed. It cannot be done when the liquid is too light, nor can it be started until the liquid has completely solidified. Once the opportunity is missed, Chengdan will fail.
The step of forming seals and condensing pills is the step that is most likely to cause the furnace to explode. If you are not careful, the injected spiritual runes will cause a riot in the pill furnace.
Zhong Lingge was at ease.
She hasn't practiced alchemy recently, but her sealing skills haven't fallen behind every day. She will practice sealing and drawing talismans several times at night and in the morning to consolidate the three alchemy talismans she has learned.
When the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace reached the optimal time for elixir condensation, she moved her consciousness and divided the medicinal liquid into thirty equal parts. She fluttered her hands at the same time and made complex and profound runes into the furnace.
The last large rune was injected into the small white furnace, and the buzzing sound of white gas and Cheng Dan sounded, which meant that this furnace of medicine was 80 to 90% successful.
Outside the formation, in the stands on the ground, everyone's attention was attracted to Zhong Lingge.
The white mist of other people's formations could at best cover their faces, but hers covered the entire formation in white, making it impossible to see what was going on inside with the naked eye.
"Is it going to explode? This is going to explode the furnace, it must be!" The male disciple of the Xianding Sect had a bad premonition in his heart. He subconsciously felt that it was about to become a pill, and he refused to admit it.
Lan Siyue no longer wanted to talk to him anymore. She silently looked at the formation shrouded in white mist and let out a sigh of relief.
"It's almost done."
"I actually refined three spiritual plants at once. Zhong Lingge's alchemy technique is so amazing!"
Lin Wu couldn't believe her eyes. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed anyone who told her that a mid-stage Qi Refiner could manipulate three materials to refine three elixirs at one time.
The low-level monks in the stands exploded, and the Yuanying masters in the air couldn't calm down, especially the several clan masters who were good at alchemy. They wanted to compete with the Jidao Sect for people!
"It's too late to regret!"
"What a good seedling, a good seedling that is rare to see in a thousand years!"
"Why is this child not a descendant of my family?"
"How virtuous and capable the Zhong family is! If I had known she was so smart, eh——"
Amid the emotions of the real people and the lively discussions on the ground, Zhong Lingge's small white stove fell steadily to the ground, and the white smoke dissipated in the air as she opened the formation.
She stood up with some difficulty, not having the strength to put the elixirs into bottles, so she simply connected them to the small white stove and carried them to the judging office.
After taking just a few steps, she was surprised to find that the initial review of the Golden Core stage had turned into four reviews of the Nascent Soul stage.
She shuffled over and placed the small white stove in front of the four real people. She didn't know if she was dizzy because of excessive consumption. She always felt that they looked at her with a kind of... earnestness?
"I've met senior, I am Bell No. 193"
Before she could finish her words, a kind-hearted Jurchen waved her hand and interrupted her introduction.
"Song, sit down."
"Look how tired this kid is. Sit down quickly."
"Come, drink some spirit flower drink to restore your spiritual power."
"This nectar pill is good for your spiritual consciousness. You won't have a headache after taking it!"
Zhong Lingge:? When did she become so familiar with these old Nascent Soul monsters?
