The ten alchemists in the hall each had their own unique strengths.
Qin Xin was also refining the Wind Control Pill with great dissatisfaction.
With the aid of a sixth-grade intermediate alchemy furnace, one of the Glazed Myriad Forms Furnaces, Qin Xin's entire refining process became smoother and more efficient.
Qin Xin, now at the fourth level of the Void Core Realm, will have his inner world grow to about 150 feet in size. The vast Yuan Power stored within will also enable him to sustain himself longer in the process of refining pills.
After the purification of the spiritual medicine was completed, unlike other alchemists, Qin Xin did not take any rest and directly entered the next step of refining the Wind Control Pill.
Just as Qin Xin was constantly removing impurities from the Glazed Myriad Manifestations Furnace, the embryonic form of the Wind-Riding Pill began to appear.
Several surprised exclamations rang out around them. While refining the Wind Control Pill, Qin Xin also used his spiritual sense to investigate.
At this moment, after the flames in the alchemy furnace in front of Qin Fan suddenly dissipated, a light purple pill emitting a faint medicinal fragrance slowly flew out from the Wood Flame Furnace in front of him.
"It really is the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill!"
Qin Xin felt a slight fluctuation in his heart; the pills refined by Qin Fan were exactly as he had guessed.
Moreover, after Qin Fan successfully refined the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill, Yang Xiu, the dean of the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy, immediately turned somewhat ugly.
Yang Xiu was already in a bad mood because the Heavenly Palace Academy had tricked him out of one of its branches, but now that he was about to lose another branch, he was naturally annoyed.
Currently, the gap in strength between the young generation of alchemists in Tianque City's Alchemy Academy and Tuocang Mountain's Alchemy Academy is not significant. Moreover, it is already extremely difficult for these alchemists, who are under thirty years old, to refine the sixth-grade high-level pill, Tianji Juyuan Pill.
However, although the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill that Qin Fan refined was of very ordinary grade, even low grade, it was a complete pill. Since it contained the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill, it was naturally considered to have been successfully refined.
Many of the alchemists present knew that Qin Fan was now capable of refining some low-grade seventh-rank pills, and his strength was approaching that of a low-grade seventh-rank alchemist.
In the hall, amidst the pervasive fragrance of the Purple Cloud Nascent Essence Pill, the alchemists from Tuocang Mountain, who were refining the pills, showed subtle changes in expression upon smelling the aroma.
Among them, Mu Qing from the Chiling City Dan Academy branch and another sixth-grade advanced alchemist from the Tuocang Mountain Dan Academy, after sensing that Qin Fan had refined the Ziyun Nayuan Pill, subtle fluctuations of Yuan energy appeared around them, almost destroying the Tianji Juyuan Pill in front of them.
Whether this competition can be won or lost depends mainly on the pills refined by the two sixth-grade high-level alchemists on both sides. As for the other intermediate-level alchemists, they are just there to make up the numbers, and the grade and quality of the pills they refine will not have much impact on the overall situation.
Although the successful refining of the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill caused a slight fluctuation in Mu Qing's mentality, she was, after all, a sixth-grade high-level alchemist, so she quickly regained her composure.
Mu Qing quickly entered the process of condensing the core.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously poured into the alchemy furnace in front of Mu Qing, the array on the furnace was lit up.
Soon, a pill radiating a blue light flew out of the furnace and landed directly in Mu Qing's hand.
Qin Xin also glanced at the Tianji Juyuan Pill in Mu Qing's hand. In terms of quality, it could be said to be close to perfect. If the outcome of the battle were determined solely by this Tianji Juyuan Pill, Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy would naturally have a very high chance of winning with Mu Qing's pill.
However, Qin Fan successfully refined the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill, which, even though of inferior quality, was still superior to the near-perfect Heavenly Millet Gathering Essence Pill.
Meanwhile, another sixth-grade advanced alchemist from Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy also completed the final step of refining. A similarly cyan pill flew out of the alchemy furnace, but the spiritual power of the pill seemed to be weaker than that of Mu Qing's pill. It seemed that Qin Fan's successful pill-making had affected his mentality.
On the other side, Qin Fan's face also showed some joy after he finished refining. He slowly recovered the Yuan energy he had consumed and took out another batch of spiritual medicine for refining the Purple Cloud Yuan Gathering Pill.
With only half the time remaining in the competition, Qin Fan still has enough time to refine another Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill. Moreover, he seems somewhat dissatisfied with the low-quality Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill he just refined.
Upon seeing Qin Fan's appearance, Mu Qing and another sixth-grade advanced alchemist from Tuocang Mountain Alchemy exchanged glances and then seemed to take a gamble, taking out the same spiritual herbs as Qin Fan, apparently intending to refine the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill as well.
Sitting upright in his chair, Wu Yan seemed to have already won, and with a smug smile, he looked at Yang Xiu beside him and said.
"Dean Yang, this Ziyun Nayuan Pill is a very valuable medicinal herb. It's really not right to waste it like this."
Yang Xiu naturally understood the hidden meaning in Wu Yan's words. Wu Yan had learned about the alchemists from Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy who were participating in the competition, and knew that Mu Qing and the others were not yet able to refine the Purple Cloud Gathering Yuan Pill, which was why he was so confident.
Upon hearing Wu Yan's mocking words, Yang Xiu's expression grew even more unpleasant. He ignored him completely and instead turned his gaze back to Mu Qing. The success or failure of this battle now depended on Mu Qing's final performance.
"Dean, is Mu Qing capable of refining the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill?"
Vice Dean Yun Li, who had been too nervous to speak until now, couldn't help but secretly transmit her voice after seeing her take out these spiritual herbs.
"The probability of successfully forming a pill is less than 20%."
Yang Xiu sat down to make his judgment and answered Yun Li's question directly through telepathy.
The two communicated through the transmission of their Yuan energy, and the other alchemists around them could not hear them.
"Twenty percent? Looks like things are going to be tough this time."
Yun Li murmured softly.
In the past, the alchemy academy of Tuocang Mountain and the alchemy academy of Tianque City were always evenly matched, with each side winning and losing. However, it is very rare for a two-academy branch to lose at once.
Just as Yun Li was pondering, Qin Xin, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
Qin Xin also held a Wind Control Pill that he had just finished refining in his hand. However, even though this level 6 intermediate pill was perfectly refined, it would not attract any attention in this competition.
All eyes were on the four high-level sixth-grade alchemists, as the final victory would be decided by these four.
"Qin Xin, the time isn't over yet, why did you come here?"
Seeing Qin Xin approach, Yun Li asked, somewhat puzzled.
Ling Hanyan's beautiful eyes also held some doubts.
However, their conversation did not attract the attention of others. At this time, Qin Fan had already started refining the Purple Cloud Gathering Yuan Pill again. So when Qin Xin walked over, the alchemists of Tianque City Pill Academy seemed not to see him at all, and their eyes were all on Qin Fan and Mu Qing and the other three.
"Sister Hanyan, do you have any medicinal herbs for refining the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill? I'd like to try it." Qin Xin directly expressed his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Yun Li, who was standing beside him, was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Qin Xin, how confident are you that you can refine this Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill?"
Regarding the success rate of the pill, Qin Xin did not make any boastful claims. After all, although he knew the process of refining the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill and had even tried to use the mysterious fragment to evolve the refining process before, he had never actually tried to refine it in reality.
On the one hand, the medicinal ingredients for the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill are extremely expensive. If the refining fails, Qin Xin will lose everything.
Another aspect is that Qin Xin's cultivation level was relatively low before, making it extremely difficult for him to fully refine the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill.
Qin Xin's current proposal to refine pills is mainly because Qin Fan is a member of the Qin clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to try in this competition. The backlash during the pill refining process is extremely terrifying. Ling Hanyan almost died from the backlash of pills before.
Qin Xin estimated it himself, and deliberately lowered the figure, saying, "The success rate is about 20% or 30%!"
"Two or three tenths!"
Upon hearing the success rate of the pill, Yun Li's face showed some hesitation. Although she had the refining elixir for the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill, she was reluctant to let Qin Xin try it, since the price of this elixir was too expensive.
"for you."
However, Ling Hanyan, without any hesitation, handed Qin Xin a portion of the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill refining ingredients.
After receiving it, Qin Xin immediately turned around and returned to the area where he was refining pills.
"A 20% or 30% probability? That's a bit difficult."
After Qin Xin left, Yang Xiu, who had been watching Qin Fan and the others, suddenly spoke up.
He had already noticed Qin Xin's arrival, but upon hearing that Qin Xin wanted to refine the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill, he naturally did not believe that Qin Xin could succeed in refining it.
The success rate of refining a sixth-grade high-level pill is already very low, making it extremely difficult. However, the difficulty of refining the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill even exceeds that of some seventh-grade low-level pills.
Although he greatly admired Qin Xin's talent for alchemy and even intended to take him as a disciple, he did not believe that Qin Xin would be able to successfully refine the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill.
"Perhaps he can succeed."
Ling Hanyan's sudden remark made Yang Xiu and Yun Li shake their heads helplessly, as if they had already accepted the dismal outcome of this alchemy competition.
