Qin Fan, who expected to be the center of attention, heard the exclamations of the surrounding alchemists after the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill in the furnace in front of him had taken shape.
He also felt a secret joy, and was very confident in his alchemy skills.
However, just as he finished condensing his core, he suddenly sensed an even more powerful aura not far away, which was constantly vying with him for the surrounding spiritual energy.
Qin Fan, out of curiosity, looked directly in Qin Xin's direction.
"The Five Viscera Returning to Origin Pill!"
Qin Fan's eyes widened in surprise. Fortunately, the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill in his alchemy furnace had already entered the pill-forming stage. He only needed to quietly roast it to contain its medicinal power. Otherwise, under such a shock, even if the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill could be successfully refined, it would still be affected.
At this moment, the five-colored spiritual energy of heaven and earth enveloped Qin Xin's Glazed Myriad Manifestations Furnace, and a round white pill inside was constantly rotating, making it look very special.
After such a long period of consumption, Qin Xin's inner world, which was over 150 feet long, was also somewhat depleted of its primordial energy, and the primordial liquid stored under the four-foot-long primordial energy vortex was also completely consumed.
But now that they've reached the final stage, Qin Xin can only rely on his strong willpower to persevere.
If it were an ordinary Void Core Realm martial artist, they probably wouldn't have even reached the Core Condensation stage yet, and their Yuan Power would probably be completely exhausted. Even with the wondrous state of the Spirit Realm, it would be incredibly difficult to successfully refine this Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill.
"This is bad! His cultivation level is too low; he probably won't be able to sustain the final stage of pill formation!"
Yun Li also noticed that Qin Xin's forehead was covered in sweat, which was a clear sign that his internal energy was starting to deplete.
It's important to know that while some high-level pills can be considered successfully refined once they reach the pill-forming stage, this requires sufficient Yuan Power to support the final condensation of spiritual energy.
Otherwise, the refined pill would only have an empty shell and no medicinal power, which would be equivalent to a useless pill. Moreover, such pills are generally considered as failed pills.
"Is all our efforts going to be in vain?"
Even Ling Hanyan, who had always trusted Qin Xin and thought he could always surprise people, felt that Qin Xin would fail and felt a little regretful.
"Buzz!"
At the same moment Qin Xin completed the pill, the Wood Flame Furnace in front of Qin Fan also completed the refining of the Purple Cloud Gathering Essence Pill.
The moment the alchemy furnace was lifted, spiritual energy fluctuations immediately emanated from it.
Under the impact of this spiritual energy fluctuation, Qin Xin, who originally only had some beads of sweat on his forehead, suddenly had his mouth turn pale.
"Damn it! Qin Fan did this on purpose!"
Yun Li slammed her hand on the chair and stood up abruptly. Although she tried to keep her voice down, all the alchemists from the Tianque City Pill Academy around her could hear her clearly.
Although many of these alchemists felt that Qin Fan's actions were somewhat inappropriate, none of them stood up to speak, after all, Qin Fan was one of their people.
Wu Yan, who had been looking somewhat worried, finally showed some joy after seeing Qin Xin's condition. He turned to Yang Xiu beside him and said with a smile, "That Qin Fan kid, he probably didn't know that someone else was refining pills. When he was collecting the pills, some of the spiritual energy in the furnace leaked out."
Upon hearing Wu Yan's words, the members of the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy all showed a hint of anger in their eyes.
Even after a pill is finished being made, alchemists are extremely careful when collecting it. If spiritual energy leaks out and impacts the pill, it can severely damage its quality.
Wu Yan's excuse was clearly not enough to fool Qin Fan, who was also a sixth-grade alchemist. Such a low-level mistake must have been intentional.
Yang Xiu's originally calm face now showed a hint of anger. "You people from the Pill Academy of Tianque City, you only know how to play these petty tricks!"
"Dean Yang, don't worry. Look, Danqing is still persevering." Wu Yan immediately changed his attitude and said with a smile.
Although Wu Yan was not afraid of directly turning against Yang Xiu, he also understood that if a large-scale conflict were to break out between the two alchemy academies, the ultimate beneficiaries would be the various families and forces in Zhongzhou.
If the two alchemy academies are ultimately both severely damaged, it is very likely that the glorious and noble alchemists will be reduced to alchemy tools of various forces, which is the last thing any alchemist wants to see.
Yang Xiu was naturally aware of the consequences of the conflict between the two academies, so even though he had lost some branch academies of the Alchemy Academy over the years, he always found ways to regain them.
However, losing two branch campuses of the Pill Academy in succession was undoubtedly like cutting a piece of flesh from his heart.
Ignoring Wu Yan, Yang Xiu glared at Qin Fan, who had finished refining the pills and stepped forward, but Qin Fan just shrugged indifferently.
Then, all eyes in the entire Dan Academy hall were on Qin Xin.
The final result of the competition will be determined by whether Qin Xin can complete the Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill.
As Qin Xin lay dying, his dark eyes suddenly snapped open in his final moments.
An imperceptible flash of blue and red light streaked across his eyes.
Deep within his dantian, at the site of the previously broken bones, it seemed that strands of golden blood were merging into Qin Xin's meridians.
The previously depleted Yuan energy seemed to have been replenished.
"Ascension!"
With a soft shout from Qin Xin, the Blue Flame Bone Fire, which had been burning slowly, burst forth instantly, enveloping the round Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill.
"What is this guy trying to do?!"
"It seems that if it could just hold on, it could become a pill, but it looks like it won't be able to hold on."
"Alas! What a pity, it seems we have failed."
Seeing this, some alchemists all thought that Qin Xin had failed.
Aside from Ling Hanyan and Yun Li, who had witnessed Qin Xin's true alchemy prowess, their faces lit up with joy upon seeing the rising flames, and they even uttered sounds of surprise.
He succeeded!
Of course, many alchemists thought the two women were talking nonsense.
But the moment the Blue Rock Bone Fire within the Glazed Myriad Manifestations Furnace in front of Qin Xin faded, through the furnace, five-colored energy slowly flowed across a perfectly round, white pill.
The moment the furnace was lifted, all the alchemists present gasped in shock.
"The perfect Five Treasures Returning to Origin Pill!"
