Ye Tian's words were not entirely meant to comfort him. The reason he said this was because the burly man with the thick beard, Hai Wuyai, was definitely not simple.
Rumors circulated that after Hai Wuyai, only he and his master remained in Jiang Tao's faction.
Ye Tian was even more certain that this person had a master guiding him behind the scenes. A person who cultivated both martial arts and alchemy, whose cultivation level was at least the eighth or ninth level of the Cloud Realm, and who was even capable of reaching the Medicine King realm in alchemy.
It not only requires expert guidance, but also a massive influx of resources.
But after hearing Ye Tian's words of comfort, Gu Nishang was not moved. Instead, she stared blankly into the distance, as if she were in a daze.
She looked at the distance with a complicated expression, as if she was thinking about something.
Ye Tian was stunned. Gu Nishang had always had a strong mentality and wouldn't be discouraged by a single match. Her current expression didn't seem like one of dejection...
It's more like they've gained some insight.
She murmured to herself, "Master, I think I understand something. You use qi and fire to circulate the cultivation technique and remove impurities from the elixir."
"That book on the basic principles of alchemy for minor cultivators has already explained in detail that in order to break through to the realm of alchemist, one must shift from the mundane to the ethereal and spiritual realm of heaven and earth, achieve stability of breath, and abundance of spiritual energy."
"This means that we need to gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and use this kind of flame to make pills in order to solve the problem of materialization."
After finishing her reflections, Gu Nishang closed her eyes slightly and sat upright in the middle of the place.
She made hand seals with both hands, her jade-like fingers gently curling up like orchids, and exhaled and inhaled her breath softly into her abdomen.
A nameless, invisible flame in the world.
It was materializing at a slow pace, about half an hour later.
A crisp "ding-dong" sounded in Ye Tian's mind, and the system announcement rang out again.
[Ding! Gu Nishang's alchemy realm has broken through to the Medicine King level.]
[Ding! Host has gained 2 insights into the Medicine King realm]
[Ding! Host has gained 2 experience points in alchemy]
Ye Tian was stunned. He thought he had overestimated Gu Nishang's talent, but he never expected that he had underestimated her.
This talent is truly unfathomable, a genius that even the heavens envy.
After losing a match, Ye Tian thought she would at least be somewhat dejected, if not despondent. But she defied expectations, turning her grief and anger into motivation in an almost bizarre way, and instead found a breakthrough while observing his alchemy process.
This gave him another boost in experience.
This isn't just a working person, this is practically the emperor of working people.
Ye Tian had just entered the Medicine King realm and had only recently stabilized his foundation. Now, thanks to the wave of experience and insights gained from Gu Nishang's breakthrough, he was only one step away from achieving Nirvana and advancing to the Medicine Saint realm.
The competition proceeded as scheduled.
Gu Nishang of the Ruthless Sect was eliminated. Although Daoist Wuchen advanced, his group of unorthodox individuals were ultimately not the true protagonists of the competition.
The real highlight lies in the competition between the stable academic faction from the Dan Sheng Mountains, trained by Chairman Su Li, and the group of people who have returned from the Dan Sheng Mountains.
This is truly a case of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.
The group of people who returned from the outside world all shared the surname Gan, but they were scattered in various places. By combining their family's traditional alchemy techniques with local customs and characteristics, they created a wide variety of alchemy methods.
The academic school, however, adheres to the old-fashioned traditional alchemy techniques, making some innovations on this basis. They allow students with different personalities to choose the alchemy method that suits them best.
Chen Jianghua is mature and gentle, which suits him well to the old-fashioned and solid approach. He takes everything steadily and wins with his calm style, high level of skill, and proficient techniques.
Hong Quan'an, the second senior disciple from the academic school, belongs to the second type: innovative talent. Although he still retains the academic school's core strengths, his personality is not bound by formalities, and he easily chooses unique features from among the elixirs.
Hong Quan'an is more skilled than Chen Jianghua in refining elixirs.
He was able to bring out the properties of each elixir more precisely. In Su Li's words, Hong Quan'an's exquisite thinking was beyond the reach of ordinary people. His alchemy and elixir-making were as unpredictable as a gazelle hanging its horns.
Hong Quan'an faced off against the unorthodox group with almost no setbacks, crushing them all the way through.
The audience below the stage seemed used to it; if we're talking about real skill, disregarding character, the unruly Hong Quan'an was undoubtedly the strongest member of the Alchemy Association.
Chen Jianghua has an exceptionally magnanimous and composed personality, possessing a virtue that commands respect.
As for the Gan family...
It wasn't that there weren't any outstanding individuals; one such person was named Gan Mo.
Most of the people on the Gan side who lost were too unconventional. This made their alchemy like a castle in the air, with an unstable foundation. As a result, their alchemy contained many impurities, and even if the alchemy grade was slightly higher, they would still lose.
Dry powder is completely different from this.
Although he was born into a humble family, he walked the true path to the highest echelons of society.
His style is steady and reliable. He belongs to a large sect in the outside world, where he inherited the sect's ancient alchemy methods and combined them with the alchemy methods inherited from his own family.
With a firm footing, like a stance, the seemingly simple moves reveal the demeanor of a master.
Ye Tian quite liked this dried powder.
With such solid fundamental skills, his alchemy was like a master butcher carving up an ox—it was an art.
Hong Quan'an's innovation was like a gazelle leaping over a cliff, and it has to be said that the two of them were destined to clash, which made Ye Tian look forward to it.
Inside the aerial pavilion.
Su Li looked at Chen Jianghua and asked, "So? What do you think of this final stage?"
Chen Jianghua calmly gazed at Gan Mo, who was diligently refining pills not far away, as if a master were sculpting a work of art. He then nodded and said, "This person has great ambition and the aspirations of a grandmaster."
"If it continues to develop steadily for a hundred years, establishing a new school of thought will not be difficult."
"Who do you think would win between your junior brother and him?" Su Li asked again.
Chen Jianghua shook his head and said, "Junior Brother's moves are like a gazelle hanging its horns, a stroke of genius, unimaginable and extremely difficult to fathom. This method consumes spiritual energy. Perhaps in ten years or so, Junior Brother will be no match for Gan Mo, but in the present moment, the two are evenly matched, it all depends on their condition."
Su Li chuckled and said, "That old bastard Gan Feilong has spent his whole life studying unorthodox methods and doing some absurd things that are not tolerated by the orthodox alchemy. He still holds a grudge even after I expelled him from the Dan Sheng Mountain Range for so long."
"Now that the Gan family has finally produced a young man with a chance to avenge him, he's following my style. I don't know whether this old man should laugh or cry."
Chen Jianghua shook his head and said, "Uncle Gan may not say it, but he has already acknowledged in his heart that Master's path is the orthodox one. Otherwise, we wouldn't see Gan Mo like this today."
"You see things very clearly," Su Li nodded, finding it rather boring.
"The match has begun, Master. Tell me, who has a slightly better chance of winning between Hai Wuyai and Wuchen Daoren?" Another match has started, and this time Chen Jianghua asked Su Li.
