Especially when his soul power forcibly penetrated her soul power, she felt as if a pair of hands were caressing her whole body.
No one noticed that under the veil, Xia Ningmo's face had turned red, as if water could drip out.
"No, if this continues... there won't be time to make medicine."
Xia Ningmo gave up guarding and withdrew his soul power.
With this withdrawal, Lu Lan was no longer hindered and obtained the medicinal herbs he wanted very smoothly.
Therefore, in the eyes of all the onlookers in the magic pill refining field, a lot of medicinal materials flew out of the six rings, but all of them flew towards Lu Lan.
"Huh? What's going on? Did Lu Lan get all the herbs he wanted?"
"In the competition of soul power... Fairy Xia actually lost?"
"How is this possible... How could Fairy Xia lose!"
When it came to using soul power to fight for medicinal herbs, almost everyone didn't expect that Xia Ningmo actually failed to snatch it from Lu Lan.
This time, Xia Ningmo completely lost the initiative.
"In terms of the use of soul power... Lu Lan is actually better."
Yan Xuzhi's tone was filled with admiration. "I think Lu Lan should have never forgotten to hone his soul power every day... Although Ning Mo's soul power is also very strong, it hasn't been honed much after all, so it still lacks some maturity in terms of its use."
"That's true... but in the end, it still depends on the step of refining the medicine. If there is a mistake in this step, even if that little guy Lu Lan has the upper hand, in the end, Ning Mo will win."
Wen Guangdao also recognized Lu Lan's excellence in using soul power, but he still had high hopes for Xia Ningmo.
Sitting not far from them, Cang Luanming kept his eyes on Xia Ningmo and didn't even look at Lu Lan.
At this moment, an old man beside him suddenly sent him a message:
"Ninth Prince, the soul powers of these two alchemists are both powerful... They are both very suitable to serve as 'sacrifice'."
His voice was so hoarse that it seemed as if it didn't come from his throat.
Cang Luanming's eyebrows moved slightly, and he replied leisurely:
"Oh? Isn't that perfect?"
"As long as that lord finishes absorbing the soul power of these two people, he can leave Xia Ningmo to me."
Only the three of them knew who the "adult" he was talking about was.
At this moment, Xia Ningmo didn't care about any movement outside the field.
She only knew that she had lost the initiative.
In order to win, there must not be any mistakes in the next steps of refining the medicine, and he must complete the refining process faster than Lu Lan.
So she took out the herbs she wanted from the six rings and began to refine the pills.
Next comes the round of racing against time.
The process of refining medicine was too boring, especially since the two of them were preparing to refine seventh-grade pills. Therefore, many people began to close their eyes and rest in the magic pill refining field, or simply practiced in the rich medicinal energy of the Medicine God Sect.
The people from the Medicine God Sect naturally didn't care.
What they care more about is whether Xia Ningmo can win the first round.
After all, the final battle of this Medicine God Conference is no longer a civil war within the Medicine God Sect like before. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a face-saving thing for the Medicine God Sect.
But now the situation is different.
If Xia Ningmo loses, the Medicine God Sect will lose all its reputation.
Although it's only the first round, the outcome isn't particularly important...but if we can win first, the pressure in the second round will be much less.
"Luoshui Qingming Pill, Tinghai Heart-Protecting Pill..."
Wen Guangdao stroked his beard. "Ning Mo probably chose to refine the Luoshui Fuqing Pill for safety, but Lu Lan actually chose to refine the Tinghai Huxin Pill. Does he really have the ability to refine this pill?"
Looking across the entire Yaoshen Sect, only elder-level alchemists can consistently refine the seventh-grade, mid-grade Luoshui Fuqing Pill.
Even for elder-level alchemists, if they were asked to refine the seventh-grade top-grade Tinghai Heart-Protecting Pill, there would still be a high failure rate.
Therefore, Wen Guangdao doubted whether Lu Lan could really refine it.
"He dared to refine this medicine, which means he must have a lot of confidence."
Yan Xuzhi said, "And I see that his technique is quite skillful, and there are no mistakes in the steps. I just wonder if the time can be shortened a bit."
The higher the difficulty, the longer it takes to refine the pill.
The first thing to look at in this first round is how long it takes to make the pill...whoever makes the pill first will have the advantage.
At this moment, Lu Lan suddenly made the fire in the Dingying Cauldron much stronger, as if to forcibly speed up the time for pill formation!
"What is he doing?!"
This time, it was Zhan Xuanyuan who was anxious.
He knew what kind of elixir Lu Lan was going to refine, and naturally knew how to refine it.
But he never expected that at the last moment when the pill was about to be formed, Lu Lan actually increased the fire and forcibly shortened the time needed to form the pill!
This can easily lead to the destruction of the elixir!
Yan Xuzhi, Wen Guangdao and other discerning alchemists also saw Lu Lan's actions and purpose, but they thought that Lu Lan's move was too risky and there was a high probability of failure.
However, Lu Lan made a shocking move at this time——
He separated a part of his soul power, probed into a ring, and took out a medicinal herb.
"Mysterious Fire Core? This herb can't be refined into the Tinghai Heart Protecting Pill? And it's obviously in conflict with the other herbs in the Tinghai Heart Protecting Pill!"
Wen Guangdao was stunned for a moment.
He thought Lu Lan was desperate and was trying anything he could think of, but Yan Xuzhi beside him became excited and said:
"No, he's going to add the Black Fire Core into it to refine it into the Tinghai Heart Protecting Pill... Have you forgotten that the Black Fire Core has another function?"
"...He wants the Black Fire Core to melt into the fire, stabilize the flames, and thus reduce the failure rate of the pill?!"
Wen Guangdao reacted immediately.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Xia Ningmo was clearly approaching the moment of pill formation.
Xia Ningmo glanced at Lu Lan with her beautiful eyes, and then her voice rang out:
"Luoshui Fuqing Pill, the pill is done!"
Almost at the same moment her voice rang out, Lu Lan's voice also rang out.
"Tinghai Heart Protection Pill, the pill is done!"
