"Don't go too fast. It's only the first match. Don't attract attention too quickly," Ye Feng said.
"I know, I know," Hong Lunhai said impatiently.
It looks like the night wind is refining elixirs, but that's not actually the case at all.
The Star Furnace is now completely unaffected by the Night Wind, but is operating autonomously, or rather, under the control of Hong Lunhai.
The medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace have been refined, their medicinal properties have been concentrated, and excess impurities have been turned into ashes.
A ball of medicinal liquid churned and rolled in the flames, filling the entire square with a strong aroma.
Before we knew it, half an hour had passed.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the square. Ye Feng turned his head and looked in that direction, and found that an alchemist had failed in his alchemy attempt.
Moreover, not only did his alchemy fail, but his alchemy furnace also exploded!
Even the two alchemists next to him were affected by him and failed to refine pills as well!
As a result, all three of them were eliminated!
This seemed to be a signal; one alchemist after another failed in their alchemy attempts, and more and more people were eliminated.
Perhaps because of the pressure, the atmosphere in the square became even heavier and more oppressive. The alchemists who had not yet failed were all cautious and solemn, afraid of making the slightest mistake.
However, the Soul Cleansing Pill, a sixth-grade spiritual pill, is not a particularly profound medicine!
"This is what pressure is like," Ye Feng remarked.
"Master Feng, what did you say?" Zhao Ruyan asked.
"I'm talking about the impact of pressure on people. If the environment were different, there certainly wouldn't be so many people failing. After all, refining the Soul Cleansing Pill isn't difficult, and the Soul Cleansing Pill isn't a particularly powerful pill. But look at it now, so many alchemists are failing one after another, and people are being eliminated one after another. In the end, they're just too nervous, and their mental fortitude isn't up to par."
Night Breeze's words deeply moved Zhao Ruyan.
She's usually like this; she has no problems cultivating on her own, but when she practices with her senior and junior sisters, she always makes mistakes in the rush, gets overwhelmed, and can't keep up with anything.
Because of this, she made quite a few jokes.
So when she heard Ye Feng say that, she felt it was absolutely right and made perfect sense.
But just then, Zhao Ruyan suddenly realized that Ye Feng was actually talking and chatting with her!
He was clearly refining pills, yet he still had the mind to chat with me. Wasn't he afraid of being distracted and causing the pill refining to fail?
Zhao Ruyan did not want Ye Feng to fail in alchemy. After all, she was now in charge of Ye Feng, and the better Ye Feng's performance in this alchemy competition, the more splendid she would be.
Moreover, if Ye Feng gets a good ranking, she might be happy and receive some reward.
So Zhao Ruyan quickly said, "Master Feng, stop chatting with me. Focus on refining the pills. We can talk slowly after this competition is over."
"good."
Night Breeze chuckled and nodded.
An hour has passed.
A woman dressed in white suddenly stood up, pointed at the alchemy furnace, and uttered a soft command: "Open!"
The lid of the alchemy furnace opened, and a pill radiating spiritual light flew out and landed steadily in the female alchemist's hand.
"So Li Xiuzhen was indeed the first to refine the Soul-Cleansing Pill?" Li Tianfeng said, sitting on the high platform.
"The alchemy techniques of the Minghui School are truly extraordinary," Chen Gaohe exclaimed.
Ye Feng had already seen that the female alchemist had successfully refined the Soul Cleansing Pill, but Ye Feng felt no emotion whatsoever.
Because in the Star Furnace in front of him, there was already a spiritual pill hanging there—the Soul Cleansing Pill!
Hong Lunhai had already finished refining the Soul Cleansing Pill half an hour ago, and the quality was excellent!
However, Ye Feng did not take the elixir out of the alchemy furnace.
He did this because he didn't want to attract the attention of others too early, especially Li Huilong.
Although Ye Feng intended to achieve a good ranking in this alchemy competition, if he performed too brilliantly, he might attract unwanted attention and extra trouble.
"Who is that female alchemist?" Ye Feng asked, feigning curiosity.
Zhao Ruyan immediately explained, "She is Li Xiuzhen, the pride of the Minghui Sect. The Minghui Sect is a very famous large sect, most famous for its alchemy. The Minghui Sect has a total of seventeen or eighteen alchemy techniques, and the most famous of them is..."
Zhao Ruyan recounted the story to Ye Feng as if it were a treasure trove, and Ye Feng nodded slightly.
Suddenly realizing something, Zhao Ruyan exclaimed, "You're talking to me again! Master Feng, can you please concentrate?"
"Okay, okay."
Ye Feng smiled wryly and could only put on a serious expression of concentrating on alchemy.
Following Li Xiuzhen, several other people successfully refined the Soul-Clearing Pill, but many others seemed to have been discouraged and failed in their attempts.
The night wind said nothing more, it just watched quietly.
There are only 15 minutes left until the two-hour deadline.
Zhao Ruyan waited anxiously to the side. Her anxious appearance made it seem as if she was refining pills, rather than Ye Feng refining pills.
The time is almost here; over a hundred alchemists have already refined the Soul Cleansing Pill.
So Ye Feng didn't wait any longer. He cast a spell to open the furnace lid, and the Soul Cleansing Pill, which had been successfully refined about an hour earlier, flew out of the furnace and landed in his hand.
"It's a success! It's a success! That's great!"
Zhao Ruyan said happily, her pretty face turning bright red.
"Thank you, Miss Zhao, for protecting me," Ye Feng said, bowing.
Zhao Ruyan immediately felt embarrassed and said with a blush, "I'm not a protector, I didn't do anything."
Two hours have finally passed.
The vast majority of alchemists have already successfully refined it; only a small number are still refining it.
Li Tianfeng on the stage didn't wait even a second longer, and immediately stood up, releasing his powerful aura.
Li Tianfeng was a living saint who had entered the Saint Realm. The vast true energy he released swept across the entire area like a storm.
Alchemists who had already finished refining pills were not greatly affected, but those who were still refining pills suffered.
They were startled by the true energy released by Li Tianfeng, and their true energy circulation immediately became disordered, resulting in their complete failure!
"Time's up, everyone should stop now. Any master who hasn't yet refined the Soul Cleansing Pill can leave. You are no longer qualified to participate in the rest of the alchemy competition. However, you can stay here to watch the performances of other alchemy masters and exchange ideas with them," Li Tianfeng said.
Those alchemists who failed to refine pills due to Li Tianfeng's influence dared not speak out in anger. Although some left indignantly, they were few, and most chose to stay.
Although they can no longer participate in alchemy and won't get good rankings, staying here allows them to observe other alchemists refining elixirs, which may be beneficial.
