Ming Wei looked at Qin Xin, who was staring blankly in the square, with some doubt. There was still half a day left before the end of the Pill Gathering. If he refined the pills again, there was still a chance.
After all, Qin Xin represented the Black Dragon City Pill Tower, and he didn't want to see Ding Sheng win the final championship.
Seeing Qin Xin stop, he wondered, "Why did this kid stop?"
"He must have been hit hard. The failure to refine the pill must have had a huge impact on his mentality." Liu Jue sat to the side, seemingly already knowing the final result of the comparison, and there was some regret in his voice. "That old bastard Ding Tian seems to value his grandson very much."
Huo Sheng also overheard the conversation between the two tower masters, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he focused all his attention on Qin Xin.
He seemed to have gained some insights from Qin Xin's previous pill-refining techniques, but he also had some doubts in his heart.
"Oh? This kid has started refining again. There's not much time left, and it might be difficult for him to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill." Liu Jue said softly as he saw the flames of the pill furnace in front of Qin Xin rise up again.
However, the refining process of the fifth-grade pill, the Qi-Nourishing Pill, is complicated. Now there is less than half the time left. To complete the refining, there must be no mistakes in the entire process, and there is no time to rest in between. It is probably not that easy to complete the refining. At least Liu Jue believes that Qin Xin cannot do it.
Ming Wei nodded slightly and said, "It seems this kid has learned to use fourth-grade pills. It looks like the champion of this pill competition will be Ding Sheng."
"Not necessarily." Huo Sheng, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
Although Liu Jue and Ming Wei did not believe it, they did not refute Huo Sheng's words.
"Huh? This kid is actually going to refine a Qi-Nourishing Pill." Ming Wei was slightly surprised when he saw the emerald green spirit grass in Qin Xin's hand.
This Yuanling Grass is an essential medicinal herb for refining Peiyuan Pills, so when Ming Wei saw Qin Xin take out this herb, he knew that Qin Xin was going to continue refining Peiyuan Pills.
"It seems we were a bit reckless," Liu Jue said, somewhat surprised.
Of course, Ding Sheng witnessed Qin Xin refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill, but a mocking look appeared in his eyes at Qin Xin's actions.
Inside the silver alchemy furnace in front of him, the Qi-Nourishing Pill had slowly taken shape, completed its condensation, and entered the final pill-forming stage. At this stage, as long as there were no major mistakes, the success rate was 100%.
"This is utterly absurd. I won't lose this time." Ding Sheng's eyes were full of laughter as he spoke sarcastically, glancing at Ding Tian on the platform.
As for the gold ingots and the Mo script, they were extremely nervous at this point.
Because they were standing on the platform of the Black Dragon City Pill Tower, they were quite conspicuous and naturally attracted the attention of the Jin Clan of the Yan Dynasty.
When Jin Yuanbao saw this so-called father, his face instantly darkened. Mo Wen also noticed Jin Yuanbao's change and, upon seeing the Jin clan members, understood the reason behind it.
"Hmph! I didn't expect them to come here too." Jin Yuanbao said with a cold expression.
Mo Wen also noticed the ill-intentioned looks from the Jin Clan of the Yan Dynasty and said with some worry, "Yuanbao, let's leave first."
"It's alright, I don't have this so-called father. They wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Black Dragon City." Jin Yuanbao seemed to understand all this and said it indifferently.
After that, he stopped thinking about it and instead watched Qin Xin in the arena.
However, at this moment, Jinlong stared at Jin Yuanbao with a strange smile on his face, and whispered to his father in front of him, "Father, should we find a chance to get rid of that bastard's child?"
Jin Jing also saw the somewhat obese Jin Yuanbao, her eyes filled with disgust. She nodded slightly, agreeing with Jin Long's actions.
Seeing this, Jinlong waved his hand, and the guards dressed as members of the Jin clan behind him immediately obeyed and left the square, seemingly plotting something.
~~~~~~
Qin Xin, who had restarted refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill, was naturally aware of the time limit.
With a light wave of his hand, several spiritual herbs fell directly into the Blazing Black Iron Furnace. Then, his palms formed hand seals that changed rapidly, and with a light tap of his fingers, he poured wood-attribute true energy into the furnace.
The previously weak Yang Fire immediately erupted, enveloping the several spiritual herbs.
In just two breaths, the outer shells of these spiritual herbs peeled away, turning into ashes that were expelled by the array in the alchemy furnace. Several streams of purified spiritual liquid floated in the furnace, continuously expelling impurities under the scorching heat of the yang fire.
Of course, Qin Xin's alchemy skills surprised many of the martial artists on the platform.
Although the purification of spiritual herbs is the simplest step in the process of refining pills, as long as the alchemist has solid basic skills, there will generally not be any major mistakes.
However, Qin Xin's reckless method of simultaneously purifying several spiritual herbs was visually shocking to them.
However, this purification method can only be achieved by alchemists who have a complete grasp of the fire resistance of these spiritual herbs. Generally, it can only be done by high-level alchemists or alchemy masters who have been practicing alchemy for decades. It is truly unbelievable that Qin Xin has reached this level at such a young age.
Upon seeing this, Ming Wei suddenly realized that Qin Xin had used the same refining method when he was testing a fourth-grade intermediate alchemist to refine the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill. However, he thought that Qin Xin had specifically studied the refining ingredients for the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, which was why he was so adept at it.
"It seems this kid has some skill in refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill, otherwise he wouldn't have succeeded so smoothly. I thought it was his first time refining it." Liu Jue said casually, but he was also a little doubtful. "Judging from his proficiency, this kid is definitely good enough to be assessed as a fifth-grade beginner alchemist."
Seeing how smoothly Qin Xin refined the pills, and how he perfectly purified various spiritual herbs used to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill, Liu Jue naturally assumed that Qin Xin was already a fifth-grade alchemist, which is why he had such doubts.
However, if he knew that Qin Xin had only obtained the recipe for the Peiyuan Pill yesterday and was already refining it in this way on his second attempt, Liu Jue would probably be even more surprised.
Amidst the whispers of the group, Qin Xin had already completed the purification of the last spiritual herb, the Yuanling Grass, and directly entered the next step of fusion.
