Chen Xinghe was lost in thought, as was Li Huilong.
Li Huilong had initially thought that Ye Feng would discover the problems with the medicinal herbs, but Ye Feng did not suggest replacing them, which made him quite puzzled.
"It seems that Feng Ye isn't all that great; he couldn't even spot the problem with the medicinal herbs," Li Huilong muttered to himself.
"What?"
"Elder Li Tianfeng asked."
"No...it's nothing, Elder Li, the competition should begin," Li Huilong said.
Li Tianfeng nodded and announced loudly, "The second match is now officially starting!"
As Li Tianfeng finished speaking, the alchemists present began to put medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace to refine elixirs.
The night breeze is the same.
As one medicinal herb after another was added to the alchemy furnace, a blazing flame rose within, and the furnace lid snapped shut with a click.
The Star Furnace was still controlled by Hong Lunhai. Ye Feng was just pretending to be refining pills; the one actually refining pills was still Hong Lunhai.
If Hong Lunhai is incapable, then Ye Feng will intervene.
The flames in the alchemy furnace burned and scorched the herbs, turning the excess impurities into ashes and extracting and concentrating the essence.
A rich aroma filled the vast square; it was the scent of the extracted essence from medicinal herbs.
Zhao Ruyan watched quietly from the side, her expression slightly worried.
After all, yesterday's competition topic was the sixth-grade elixir, the Soul-Cleansing Pill, while today's competition topic is the seventh-grade elixir, the Cloud-Moving Pill.
The two are not on the same level; the difficulty has increased by more than double.
Zhao Ruyan didn't want Ye Feng to be eliminated, so it was understandable that she was worried about him.
Before we knew it, half an hour had passed.
The Star Furnace in front of Ye Feng had already refined and concentrated the medicinal liquid seven times, which far exceeded the number of refinements and concentrations required to refine the Wind-Moving Clouds Pill.
However, due to Li Huilong's tampering, the medicinal properties of Ye Feng's herbs had already been lost, so this was necessary for him.
Although the extraction and concentration process had to be repeated several times, wasting a lot of time, two hours was still more than enough for Ye Feng and Hong Lun Hai.
At this moment, the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace has condensed and taken shape, transforming into the prototype of a spiritual elixir.
In at most half an hour, the Wind-Moving Cloud Pill will be completed!
boom!
The alchemist's furnace exploded. Although she reacted quickly and activated her inner energy shield, she was not injured, but she was still covered in dust and looked quite disheveled.
And that female alchemist was one of the fairies from the Minghui Sect!
The night breeze glanced in that direction briefly before looking away.
Although Ye Feng had a bet with those fairies, he never took them to heart, so the fairy's failure to refine the pill had no impact on Ye Feng's state of mind.
As the female alchemist failed in her alchemy attempt, the other alchemists also began to fail one after another.
A quarter of an hour passed, and seven or eight alchemists had failed.
The atmosphere in the square grew increasingly heavy and oppressive.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and a pill was successfully refined in the Star Furnace in front of Ye Feng.
It is indeed the elixir that stirs the clouds!
"Not bad, not bad," Ye Feng said with satisfaction.
Hong Lunhai snorted and said with great pride, "How could I, a tenth-grade alchemist, fail when I personally take action? A mere seventh-grade pill is nothing to me."
As soon as Hong Lunhai finished speaking, Li Xiuzhen, a female alchemist from the Minghui Sect, suddenly stood up, pointed at the alchemy furnace, and gave a soft shout: "Open!"
The furnace lid opened, and a Wind-Moving Cloud Pill flew out of the alchemy furnace.
"The first one again!"
"Li Xiuzhen, the eldest disciple of the Minghui School, is truly remarkable."
"She won first place again in today's competition."
"Moreover, her own strength is also quite good; she is at the early stage of the Extraordinary Realm."
"This woman is truly remarkable!"
The alchemists around the square discussed among themselves and cast approving glances at Li Xiuzhen.
Li Xiuzhen, of course, heard all these discussions.
Li Xiuzhen wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked around, and a smile appeared on her lips.
But at that moment, Li Xiuzhen was slightly taken aback.
Because she saw the night breeze!
Seeing Ye Feng's calm and unhurried expression, Li Xiuzhen felt strange.
"That guy hasn't even finished refining the Wind-Moving Cloud Pill yet, so why is he so relaxed and carefree? Isn't he afraid of failing and being eliminated? Or has he already succeeded, which is why he's so confident and composed?"
Li Xiuzhen thought to herself, her heart skipping a beat.
Following Li Xiuzhen, several other alchemists successfully refined the Wind-Moving Cloud Pill, and as time went on, more and more people succeeded in refining it. Of course, there were also quite a few alchemists who failed at the last moment.
Night Wind remained indifferent throughout, as if it were an outsider.
With only fifteen minutes left until the final deadline, Ye Feng finally got up.
As the furnace lid opened, the already refined Wind-Moving Cloud Pill steadily flew up and landed in Night Wind's hands.
"It's a success! It's a success!"
Zhao Ruyan cried out in surprise, as if the successful person was not Ye Feng, but herself.
Ye Feng smiled and nodded: "It was indeed successful. Thank you, Miss Zhao, for protecting me."
Zhao Ruyan blushed and said shyly, "Master Feng, you're here again? I didn't do anything, I don't deserve the title of protector."
Li Xiuzhen, standing in the distance, had become very solemn.
She felt that her guess was correct.
This man named Feng Ye had already successfully refined the seventh-grade spiritual pill, the Wind-Moving Cloud Pill, but he deliberately concealed his strength and did not immediately open the furnace after successfully refining it.
The most direct evidence is time!
In yesterday's first competition, that person opened the furnace with only a quarter of an hour left before the time limit and successfully refined the sixth-grade spirit pill, the Soul Cleansing Pill.
In today's competition, that person opened the furnace just a quarter of an hour before the moment of realization and successfully refined the seventh-grade spiritual pill, the Wind-Moving Cloud Pill.
The timing of the two events was the same; was this a coincidence?
Li Xiuzhen would never believe that this wasn't a deliberate arrangement!
"This man is not simple. I underestimated him yesterday..." Li Xiuzhen murmured.
Two hours have finally passed.
Li Tianfeng struck again, and the storm of true energy emanating from his body directly interrupted all the alchemists who had not yet finished refining pills.
"Start the verification now!" Li Tianfeng said.
The results came out quickly: a total of 72 alchemists succeeded in refining pills today, while the rest failed and lost their eligibility to continue participating in alchemy.
Among the seventy-two successful people was Ye Feng!
Li Huilong had been watching from the stage the whole time, so he knew the result immediately.
