The moment the elixir was successfully fused.
A ripple of energy spread out, and everyone knew that this was a fluctuation resulting from the complete fusion of the level 5 wood-attribute demonic beast crystal and the extract of the spiritual medicine.
Within the blazing black iron furnace in front of Qin Xin, the blue flames suddenly surged, enveloping all the dissipated spiritual energy through his soul perception and incorporating it into the fusion of the pills.
"Sizzle..."
Several sounds continuously emanated from within the alchemy furnace.
Subsequently, some black impurities were expelled by the array within the alchemy furnace.
"Glug! Glug!"
Hearing the sounds emanating from the blazing black iron furnace, many alchemists' eyes showed a strange glint.
Moreover, among these unusual expressions, there was more surprise than anything else.
Those who are here are mostly alchemists, so they are extremely impressed by Qin Xin's perfect control of flames and his temperature perception.
Even the three seventh-grade alchemists present couldn't claim to have been able to seal off all spiritual energy without any leakage during the process of refining this Breaking Martial Pill, just like Qin Xin.
Li Xi, who had previously thought that Qin Xin would not pass the test, now looked rather grim. His gaze had initially been focused on his most prized disciple, Zhuge Tao, and he hadn't really paid attention to Qin Xin. However, the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the alchemy furnace made him realize that he had underestimated Qin Xin's alchemy skills.
While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Qin Xin also entered the final step of the Core Formation process.
The originally colorful rudimentary pill, under the scorching heat of Qin Xin's Blue Rock Bone Fire, had already taken the shape of a pill. At this point, it could be said that Qin Xin's pill was 99% complete.
"Alas, what a pity. Despite his talent, he couldn't pass the test this time."
Some of the alchemists watching shook their heads with some regret. They could sense that the Breaking Martial Pill that Qin Xin had refined was definitely a very perfect pill.
However, the gap between a mid-grade fifth-rank pill and a high-grade fifth-rank pill is insurmountable. Even if the pill is refined to its ultimate level, it cannot break through the constraints of this rank.
"Really?"
Hearing the doubts around her, Ling Hanyan suddenly smiled.
When Yun Li, who was standing next to her, felt Ling Hanyan's smile, she was also slightly taken aback.
"The Method of Ascension!"
Ling Hanyan looked at Qin Xin's mouth and said the same thing.
Immediately, as Qin Xin rapidly changed the hand seals, a violent flame instantly enveloped the already formed pill. As for the subtle color changes on the flame, no alchemist noticed them.
"What? Has this kid gone mad?"
Seeing the flames suddenly surge in Qin Xin's alchemy furnace, Yun Li couldn't help but say something.
In her eyes, Qin Xin's actions were nothing short of destroying the already refined pills.
After the pill is formed, martial artists usually use a gentle fire to nurture it, locking spiritual energy into the pill to improve its quality.
However, the flames that Qin Xin suddenly unleashed would not only burn away all the spiritual energy, but could also damage the pill itself.
"Don't worry, you'll see in time."
Seeing that Yun Li beside her looked exactly like the first time she saw Qin Xin refining pills, she couldn't help but chuckle and gestured for Yun Li to wait patiently.
In the midst of their conversation, the flames vanished instantly, and the fragrant aroma of the cyan pills filled the air. A white halo then emanated from Qin Xin's alchemy furnace.
Some experienced alchemists have already sensed a faint blue horizontal line on the Broken Martial Pill that Qin Xin refined. This blue line is perfectly integrated with the entire Broken Martial Pill, as if it contains all the medicinal power.
"Hiss! To be able to refine pill patterns, such strong alchemy skills."
"If I also had a strange fire, perhaps I could also refine pills with pill patterns."
"Stop dreaming! Even if I gave you a different kind of fire, could you really do it without the strength?"
The surrounding alchemists were immediately abuzz with discussion, most of them marveling at Qin Xin's extraordinary talent in alchemy.
"Being able to refine pill patterns does indeed indicate a high talent for alchemy. However, even so, this broken martial pill is still only a mid-grade fifth-rank pill. Therefore, Miss Ling, the bet is..."
Jia Yi, who had remained silent, was also surprised by Qin Xin's alchemy skills. However, even so, failing to refine a high-grade fifth-rank pill meant failure in the assessment.
Upon hearing Jia Yi's words, Ling Hanyan immediately spoke up, "Vice Dean Jia, don't be in such a hurry."
Jia Yi thought that Ling Hanyan wanted to break the contract and was about to unleash his power when he suddenly discovered that Qin Xin's Breaking Martial Pill had been completed, but the flames in the furnace had not been extinguished.
Qin Xin was in a state of complete tranquility at this moment, so he directly withdrew his spiritual sense from the outside world and was completely unaware of the conversations taking place there.
After inventing this method of spiritual ascension, Qin Xin could find that after each pill he refined, the pill seemed not to have reached its ultimate perfection, but he could not ascend to spiritual ascension again.
However, after subduing the Flaming Bone Fire, Qin Xin could sense that he could use this second strange fire to perform another pill enhancement.
Previously, Qin Xin spent about an hour refining the pill using the method derived from the mysterious fragment. This was mainly because a slight misoperation during the second use of the strange fire for spirit enhancement would cause the entire pill to be destroyed.
After taking a deep breath, Qin Xin once again mobilized the fire seed within the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit. In the blink of an eye, the Blue Rock Bone Fire rose up again, but this time it emitted pink flames.
"The Method of Ascension!"
Qin Xin formed a hand seal once more, then silently roared in his heart.
Seeing the flames rise again from the furnace, the alchemists who were still arguing nearby fell silent.
If Qin Xin's first sudden burst of flames was to lock in spiritual energy, then it was somewhat understandable. However, this time, with the flames surging again, some people began to have doubts.
"What, it seems they've been pushed to the limit."
Li Xi was initially surprised to see Qin Xin successfully refine the pill pattern. After all, there weren't many alchemists in the Pill Academy who could refine pill patterns. However, Qin Xin was now increasing the flame again to refine the pill. If he failed, his reputation in the Pill Academy would suffer. With a few tricks, Li Xi could easily get Qin Xin kicked out of the Pill Academy.
"What's this guy thinking?"
Yun Li was also somewhat confused, frowning. If Qin Xin could refine a Breakthrough Pill with pill patterns, perhaps through evaluation, she could find loopholes in the assessment, at least invalidating the previous bet.
However, if Qin Xin were to fail in refining the pills in public, any excuse would be futile, and Ling Hanyan would have no choice but to fulfill her promise and resign from her position as an elder of the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy.
