Win
Then, Zhong Ling slowly picked and chose from a pile of medicinal herbs until the two masters' first batch of auxiliary medicines were almost refined. Only then did Zhong Ling select the herbs, then stretched out her fingers, and a cluster of golden flames bloomed at her fingertips.
The flame was not big, only the size of a bean sprout, and looked gentle and harmless.
But just as this golden flame appeared, Gu Yan, who was sitting in the judging seat, suddenly changed color, leaned forward, and stared at the small flame with horror in his eyes.
Most people in the square couldn't figure out the trick. They just thought that the flame was beautiful, but it couldn't compare to the two masters' strange fire in terms of momentum.
"This... this is impossible... it's... it's the legend..." He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it, but his loss of composure was seen by everyone.
Li Mingzi and Queen Zhao felt a pang in their hearts, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously. The flame that could make Elder Gu Yan of Dan Pavilion lose his composure like this must be of extraordinary quality!
On the high platform, Master Sun and Master Ma felt it most deeply.
At the moment when the golden flame appeared, their red beast fire and green spiritual fire were instantly reduced to half a head, like subjects encountering a king.
The originally blazing flames began to flicker and even emitted a whimpering sound, which was an instinctive fear and submission.
"What's going on!" Master Sun's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly increased his spiritual power output, trying to stabilize his beast fire.
But the beast fire was like a frightened child. No matter how he urged it, it just trembled and its power decreased instead of increased.
Master Ma's situation was slightly better, but not by much. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and he felt as if there was an insurmountable chasm between his cyan spiritual fire and the golden flame.
Zhong Ling didn't care about their reactions. She flicked her finger and the small golden flame fell under the glass tripod.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Ling did not refine the medicinal materials step by step, but waved his hand and threw all the medicinal materials on the jade table into the alchemy furnace.
The whole place was dead silent.
"Crazy! She's absolutely crazy!"
"Is this alchemy or just a hodgepodge? Dozens of herbs are being refined together, and their properties conflict. It would be strange if the cauldron didn't explode!"
"It's over. Luoyun Sect will have to pay this time."
Wei Changfeng's eyes went dark and he almost fell off his seat.
He held onto the table and felt that breathing became difficult. He believed in Zhong Ling, but the scene before him shattered his hundreds of years of understanding of alchemy.
Li Mingzi and Queen Zhao were stunned at first, then ecstasy filled their hearts.
"Hahaha! Just trying to attract attention! Turns out to be a little girl who knows nothing!" Li Mingzi clapped his hands and laughed, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.
A smile returned to Queen Zhao's face, and she shook her head contemptuously.
However, the expected explosion did not happen.
Inside the glazed cauldron, the cluster of golden flames split into dozens of golden fire lines as thin as hair, precisely wrapping around each medicinal ingredient.
Those spiritual plants with strong medicinal properties became docile when wrapped in the golden fire line.
And those spiritual plants with restrained medicinal properties release the purest medicinal power.
Medicinal liquids from dozens of herbs swirled in the cauldron, clearly separated and not interfering with each other, and finally began to merge under the harmony of the golden flame.
Master Sun and Master Ma had completely forgotten that they were still in the competition. They stared blankly at this incredible scene, their Taoist faith almost collapsing.
"puff--"
Master Sun's mind was shaken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The red copper cauldron in front of him let out a wail, the beast fire went out, and burnt black smoke rose into the sky.
The first furnace was scrapped.
Master Ma laughed bitterly, retracted his spiritual fire, and bowed deeply in the direction of Zhong Ling.
He didn't say anything, but the action said it all.
He was convinced and admitted that he was inferior.
The discussions in the square stopped abruptly, and everyone was speechless at the dramatic turn of events.
The instigator didn't even raise his eyelids from beginning to end.
Li Mingzi and Queen Zhao's faces turned from red to white, and from white to blue, their expressions were very interesting.
They finally realized what kind of terrifying existence they had provoked.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the afternoon, above the high platform of Luoyun Sect, the clouds in the sky began to gather, forming a huge vortex, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed into the glass tripod frantically.
Rays of colorful light emerged from the tripod and intertwined in the sky to form a magnificent picture.
Faintly, there were the sounds of heavenly music and the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes.
"The elixir... the elixir energy has transformed into spirit, a sign of good fortune has descended from heaven!" Gu Yan said excitedly from the judges' booth. "This... this is a phenomenon that only occurs when refining a seventh-grade or higher elixir!"
Seventh-grade precious pill? !
Wei Changfeng was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from screaming.
His bet was right! Not only would the Luoyun Sect not decline, but it would rise to prominence thanks to Elder Zhong!
Finally, all the strange phenomena slowly disappeared and were completely submerged in the glass tripod.
Zhong Ling stretched out her bare hand and gently tapped the lid of the tripod.
"Buzz—"
A clear and melodious sound of a tripod resounded throughout Luoyun City.
The moment the lid of the cauldron was opened, a pill the size of a longan flew out slowly from the cauldron.
It circled in the air, looked around curiously, and finally landed affectionately on Zhong Ling's fingertips, rubbing them gently.
Dan has brought life to life!
At this moment, you could hear a pin drop in the entire square.
Everyone seemed to be under a spell, staring at the magic pill with empty minds.
It's clear who the winner is!
Li Mingzi and Queen Zhao looked unhappy. They didn't expect that after all the planning, she turned out to be a seventh-grade alchemist!
Zhong Ling was not interested in appreciating the loser's expression. She flipped her wrist and put the Soul-Nourishing Jade and the Millennium Black Iron into her pocket.
Then, she threw the jade bottle containing the top-grade Ziyun Pill to Wei Changfeng beside her.
"Sect Master Wei, this is our Luoyun Sect's prize. Please accept it."
Wei Changfeng took the jade bottle, took a deep breath, and bowed to Zhong Ling: "Thank you, Grand Elder!"
At this time, Dan Pavilion Elder Gu Yan, who had been standing at the judging table, finally came back to his senses from his shock.
He walked down the platform quickly and came straight to Zhong Ling.
"Master..." Gu Yan said, choosing his words carefully. "I, Gu Yan, am an elder of the Eastern Region Dan Pavilion. May I ask your name and where you learned your skills?"
This question was also on the minds of everyone present.
Such a miraculous alchemy technique could never appear out of thin air. There must be a tradition behind it.
Zhong Ling looked at Gu Yan and replied, "Zhong Ling, as for my master, I have no sect or school, I am just a casual cultivator."
"A casual cultivator?" Gu Yan was stunned, then an expression of "I understand" appeared on his face.
Such superb alchemy skills must have been possessed by a hidden master who didn't allow him to reveal his master's identity. He was being rude.
