Zhou Yang and Ju Shu selected two alchemy furnaces respectively and began to check the alchemy materials.
An alchemy competition is about to take place here, and almost all the alchemists who have no missions have gathered to watch the battle.
There are only three ingredients for making an elixir, which means that if you fail to make the elixir three times, you will be a complete failure.
The ninth-grade elixir they want to refine is called the Wind Control Pill, which is most suitable for wind attribute cultivators. The materials used are extremely spiritual, and the essence and blood of wind elixir beasts added are also of extremely high quality.
Zhou Yang was a little nervous. He had only heard of some of the materials, but he didn't know much about the pharmacological effects.
Fortunately, this kind of elixir is included in the elixir secrets given by Mr. Ji. Mu Zifeng has also read it carefully and is very familiar with it. The only shortcoming is that he has not used it personally.
"This is your first time refining a ninth-grade elixir, and you have never used elixir beast essence and blood. Don't be impatient. All the materials are very active, and coupled with the active essence and blood, this will cause great repulsion. Sex, if there is any slight mistake, the elixir will explode. Therefore, you must follow the method mentioned by Old Ghost Ji."
"The medicinal effects of these dozen materials are very special. They cannot be put into the alchemy furnace at the same time. They must be done in stages."
"Also, the elixir's yield rate is not high, so be prepared for the elixir to fail once or twice..."
In order to succeed in one fell swoop, Mu Zifeng carefully used his spiritual thoughts to transmit messages from time to time and patiently guided Zhou Yang.
However, he was not completely sure, because his alchemy skills were not much better than the giant skills.
Jushu also had a serious expression on his face, cleaning the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner, checking and sorting out various materials.
In fact, he had just entered the realm of Quasi-Alchemy Patriarch, and had only succeeded in refining a ninth-grade elixir.
"Let's begin." After a moment, Master Chu's voice came from deep in the palace.
Zhou Yang took a deep breath, and then according to the steps of the alchemy technique, he first put the fourteen kinds of materials into the alchemy furnace, then covered the furnace lid, and began to control the golden flame heating under the furnace.
This is a flame comparable to the divine fire. On the basis of ensuring the temperature, it has been refined by the powerful and will not harm various alchemists.
Under the high temperature, the active substances of the fourteen materials were completely excited, and crackling sounds were heard from time to time in the furnace, which became more and more intense.
Zhou Yang continued to play tricks to control the fusion of various materials.
Jushu glanced at Zhou Yang inadvertently, the look of disdain on his face getting even worse.
Because judging from Zhou Yang's techniques, he has not reached the level of a Quasi-Alchemy Patriarch at all.
"The temperature is too high, please lower it a little." Mu Zifeng reminded via voice message.
Zhou Yang controlled the golden flame as instructed, and the sound in the furnace became a little quieter.
Half an hour later, the sound in the furnace disappeared completely, and he started the second step.
Opening the furnace lid again, he put in thirty-six kinds of materials, and kept his consciousness immersed in them, paying close attention to the changes in the materials every moment.
As the alchemy process progressed, Zhou Yang's heart completely calmed down. While performing the technique, he carefully recalled the explanation of the refining of the ninth-grade elixir in the alchemy tips.
The third step was to add the active essence and blood of the elixir beast, which almost caused an elixir explosion, which scared Zhou Yang into a cold sweat, but he finally completed it without any danger.
Until the fourth and fifth steps, both of them passed smoothly, which made Ju Shu look a little unhappy.
Three hours had passed. The two of them had consumed a lot of energy and were both very tired.
There are also the last two steps, which are also the two most critical steps, and they are also the two links where the pill is most likely to explode.
"Bang!" At the critical moment of the sixth step, Zhou Yang failed.
Jushu has reached the final step and is devoting all his attention to condensing the pill.
Zhou Yang closed his eyes and used the secret technique of Tongtian Holy Sect to quickly recover his divine power and soul power. Then he carefully reflected on the reasons for the failure of the sixth step, and continued to deduce improvement measures according to the key points of the alchemy technique.
With an explosion, the giant technique stopped at the stage of condensing pills.
"It shouldn't be like this!" He was a little annoyed, but he quickly calmed down and reflected.
After a while, Zhou Yang began to silently clean the alchemy furnace, organize the materials, and then started the first step of alchemy again.
Not to be outdone, Jushu also started refining the pill for the second time.
This time, the speed slowed down because the consumption was too high, so they had to carefully control every link for fear of making mistakes.
At this moment, in addition to the competition on the alchemy path, it is also a game between the soul and the will. If there is any negligence, the alchemy will fail.
"This..." Suddenly, Zhou Yang felt subtle changes at the altar. The consciousness consumed seemed to increase a little, and his soul became clearer.
"By the way, why did I forget the miraculous effect of the key to alchemy!" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up.
Although it only adds a little bit of spiritual power, it can play a vital role at this most critical moment.
In the ecstasy, he almost missed, which earned Mu Zifeng a scolding.
"Attention, we have reached this step again. Make corrections according to the techniques you analyzed. The last material should be put in after a little delay. You must be confident!" Mu Zifeng reminded again.
Zhou Yang concentrated on the crucial sixth step, sinking all his mind into it, and finally successfully crossed this step and entered the last link.
There can't be any mistakes in the process of condensing the elixir, which is even more exhausting. Although Zhou Yang received some supplements, he still failed in the end because of his unfamiliar skills.
The alchemists watching could not help but shake their heads. It seemed that this kid was definitely going to lose.
Sure enough, the elixir in the giant magic furnace was about to take shape, and the fragrance of the medicine was already wafting out.
Zhou Yang gritted his teeth secretly, but he did not lose his mind. Instead, he stared at the refining process of the giant technique with bewildered eyes. Even if he failed, he still had to learn something.
"Not good!" However, at this moment, Jushu's expression changed drastically, and he fired magic spells at the alchemy furnace one after another.
"Bang!" At the last moment when the elixir was taking shape, it still failed.
"This!" Jushu was a little confused. It was clear that success was imminent, why did something go wrong at the last moment?
Zhou Yang also tried his best to use his spiritual consciousness to check the medicine residue and explore the reason for the failure.
"It seems that there is still a fire control problem. This guy's soul power is no longer effective." Mu Zifeng was somewhat gloating.
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up. He was not afraid of giant skills when it came to competing in the soul.
"You disappoint me." Master Chu's voice sounded in Ju Shu's mind deep in the hall.
"Me!" Jushu's face turned pale and he did not dare to refute.
He forced himself to calm down and began to use secret techniques to restore the power of his soul.
At this time, Zhou Yang had already started refining elixir for the third time.
Jushu gritted his teeth and had to stop recovery and start the refining process again.
He was worthy of being the quasi-alchemy ancestor. After calming down his mind, every step still went smoothly.
