This involves completely calming the mind and spirit to refine the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill.

Everything proceeded as if by natural flow, and each refining step was completed perfectly.

Qin Xin seemed to be in a strange state, and for a moment, a very peculiar fluctuation appeared in the flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding world.

This kind of fluctuation was not unfamiliar to him; he had experienced it before during the process of refining elixirs.

Once such fluctuations occur, if the body's internal energy is not depleted and there is no external interference, then the success rate of refining pills can reach 100%.

This peculiar fluctuation is generally referred to by alchemists as the spiritual realm.

There is no specific method to enter the Spirit Realm, but unsurprisingly, every alchemist who enters this wondrous state will experience a rapid improvement in their alchemy skills.

Many alchemists in the hall who initially thought Qin Xin was there to cause trouble and deliberately refine the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill to increase his influence also became aware of this after Qin Xin entered the Spirit Realm.

Qin Xin, who had originally opened his eyes to observe the changes in the flames within the Glazed Myriad Manifestations Furnace, now had his eyes completely closed, controlling the flames within the furnace entirely through the perception of his soul.

This control is more precise than what can be perceived by the naked eye.

"Oh? This kid has actually entered the Spirit Realm. I didn't expect Dean Yang to have a backup plan."

Wu Yan naturally sensed that Qin Xin had entered that wonderful state, and for a moment he felt a little envious.

Once he can enter this spiritual realm, with his rank of seventh-grade advanced alchemist, he is very likely to advance to the ranks of eighth-grade alchemist in one fell swoop.

If a seventh-grade high-level alchemist can be considered a grandmaster in the Yunxi Domain, then only an eighth-grade alchemist can be considered a top-tier alchemist on the Tianxuan Continent.

Although it's only a step apart, the difference is significant.

Yang Xiu, who was not optimistic about Qin Xin, was already considering which remote branch of the Pill Academy to entrust to the Tianque City Pill Academy. After sensing the slight fluctuations around Qin Xin, he was slightly surprised and also somewhat relieved.

Given Qin Xin's age and talent in alchemy, he is very likely to become an eighth-grade alchemist. If he succeeds, it may end the rivalry between the two alchemy academies in Zhongzhou.

It is highly likely that the Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy will merge with the Tianque City Alchemy Academy, so that all alchemists in the Central Plains will no longer be involved in the struggles between any forces or families. This is also the goal that Yang Xiu has been striving for so far.

Hearing Wu Yan's somewhat indignant tone, Yang Xiu naturally didn't take it to heart, and instead focused all his attention on Qin Xin.

Seeing that Yang Xiu completely ignored him, Wu Yan turned around and whispered instructions to some elders beside him, seemingly wanting to investigate Qin Xin's background.

As for Yun Li, her mouth was agape in surprise. She nudged Ling Hanyan beside her with her elbow and whispered, "Hanyan, since you knew this guy was so good at alchemy, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"If he had refined the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill earlier, the atmosphere wouldn't have become so tense."

Hearing Yun Li's somewhat resentful words, Ling Hanyan also felt a little helpless. She was also somewhat surprised that Qin Xin had unexpectedly entered the Spirit Realm.

However, judging from her previous attitude of being certain that Qin Xin would succeed in refining it, it seemed as if Ling Hanyan already knew this.

However, Ling Hanyan also knew that her ability to sense Qin Xin's success in refining the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill was largely due to intuition, a special feeling that comes from a woman.

At this moment, Qin Xin was unaware of the changes in the outside world. After entering this spiritual realm, he could clearly feel that every part of his body seemed to be under the control of the spiritual body in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The mysterious convergence between spiritual power and elemental power placed Qin Xin's body in a wondrous state, a state that allowed him to continuously improve.

At the same time, the materials for the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill, which were inside the Glazed Myriad Manifestations Furnace, began to slowly fuse together.

This fusion process seemed to be pre-programmed, with no friction or collision between the materials. It should be noted that during Qin Xin's evolution through the mysterious fragment map, the beast crystals of the five level-five demonic beasts often exploded during the fusion process due to their different attributes.

But being in the spiritual realm, this most difficult step now seems exceptionally simple to him.

"melt!"

As Qin Xin's hand seals changed, the purified spiritual herbs and the essence of the beast crystals, which were located in various parts of the alchemy furnace, slowly moved towards the center.

The massive flow of spiritual energy even influenced the circulation of spiritual energy in the surrounding world.

Several mid-level sixth-grade alchemists, after sensing this fluctuation, experienced slight changes in their minds, which directly led to the failure of their alchemy.

After slowly opening his eyes, he looked at the failed pill and felt a little regretful. There was not enough time left to continue refining, but fortunately, he had already completed one pill.

Qin Fan, who was originally confident of victory, was somewhat arrogant after successfully refining the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill. Moreover, under the watchful eyes of many, his second attempt at refining the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill seemed to go even more smoothly than the first time.

As Qin Fan sensed that Mu Qing and the other two sixth-grade high-level alchemists had all stood up and emptied their alchemy furnaces, a smile appeared on his face. This Central Plains Alchemy Gathering was clearly his stage to shine.

Enhancing his reputation will give him more leverage in the future competition for the position of the young patriarch of the Qin clan. Moreover, if he wins, he can become the dean of the Tianque City Dan Academy branch, and the profits from that are very important to his lineage.

After standing up, Mu Qing felt a little regretful. She had made a slight mistake in the final step of refining the Purple Cloud Nascent Soul Pill, which ultimately led to the failure of the pill refining. If she could have another chance, perhaps she could have succeeded.

However, when Mu Qing turned her gaze to Qin Xin, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Mu Qing didn't actually know Qin Xin. In Chiling City, because the Dan Academy didn't participate in any power struggles, she didn't have any dealings with any forces.

Because the Chiling Peak mountain range was blocked, the Poison Breaking Pill was naturally difficult to sell. Mu Qing had no need to stay in the Chiling City Pill Academy. Moreover, she had just been transferred to the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy and had not yet had time to learn about the situation there before coming directly to Tianque City.

Now, Mu Qing only knows Qin Xin by another name: Danqing.

Can he succeed?

Although Mu Qing could sense the fluctuations around Qin Xin, she could also perceive that his martial arts cultivation was only at the Void Core Realm.

It is important to know that the process of refining a high-grade sixth-rank pill requires an enormous amount of Yuan energy. Without external assistance, it would be impossible for a martial artist at the Void Core Realm to sustain it.

Moreover, such a competition to refine pills naturally does not allow outside interference, so Mu Qing had some doubts about whether Qin Xin could successfully refine it.

Even so, she still fully acknowledged Qin Xin's alchemy skills.

If it were before, Mu Qing might not have taken Qin Xin seriously at all. After all, a favored young woman like her would have had quite a few young alchemists and martial artists around her.
