Zishu used a wood fire, while Yingxun's was not visible. It looked like a very powerful earth fire. How could Yexi use the Azure Lotus Heaven?
There are only about twenty of these rare flames in total. The people of You Ran Ju cannot be completely trusted, and Ye Xi Ruo would never reveal the secret that she possesses a rare flame.
Ye Xiruo used a purple beast fire that she often used for cover. Although the flame pile was important for refining pills, it didn't have much of an impact on Ye Xiruo. Her success rate in refining the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill was barely 80%. If she refined the impurities a few more times and controlled the pill condensation well, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Although the three were of different levels and were refining different pills, when they took out their pill cauldrons, released flames, heated the cauldrons, and then refined and purified them step by step, their essence, energy, and spirit were highly concentrated, and their auras underwent a great change.
Old Wang and Old Ge felt a surge of anticipation. The six elders in the next room were also watching their future apprentice intently, their smiles widening.
Of the three rounds of testing, this last round is the real highlight. The first round, the mental strength test, only assesses an alchemist's potential. Having potential means you might reach greater heights, but it's only a possibility, not a certainty.
It's like the starting point for an alchemist; the higher the starting point, the greater the potential for achievement.
The second round of testing focuses on fundamental skills, primarily assessing the alchemist's knowledge and vision. While important, it is relatively the least important and can be disregarded. These skills, easily cultivated, are far inferior to innate talent.
The third round of testing is the most important. This is a real alchemy test. The strength and control of mental power, experience in refining pills, techniques for tempering medicinal materials, speed of alchemy, and the quality of the finished pills can all be seen at a glance, and nothing can be hidden.
Therefore, although the six elders were surprised when they saw their exam papers yesterday, none of them gave up first. They all waited until today to see their third round of tests before making a final decision.
Zishu, Yingxun, and Yexi Ruo each have their own unique alchemy techniques. Zishu inherited his skills from Jingli, Yingxun from the Medicine Emperor, and Yexi Ruo from the Space. But one thing is certain: every step they take is full of a unique charm, flowing smoothly and pleasing to the eye.
Ye Xiruo and Zishu both possessed exquisite control over flames through their cultivation of the Fire Control Technique, and Yingxun was no less skilled.
The ingredients for Xiao Huan Dan total more than one hundred kinds, which can be divided into eight categories according to their medicinal properties.
Ye Xiruo began purifying the medicinal liquid step by step, carefully refining each herb until no impurities remained. This was the key to refining elixirs; too many impurities would result in a poor final product.
Therefore, all three of them were very skilled at refining medicinal materials and purifying impurities.
This process took three hours. Amidst the greenery, eight crystalline elixirs, enveloped in spiritual energy, floated quietly in mid-air.
Ye Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief. The most crucial step had been completed, and the rest would be much easier.
Ye Xiruo released her spiritual power again, transforming it into countless threads, and began to fuse the medicinal liquid. As a result, the eight clumps of medicinal liquid became six clumps, the six clumps became four clumps, and the four clumps became two clumps. The number decreased, but the volume was not much larger than that of the chef.
During the fusion process, one must still control one's mental energy to compress the medicinal liquid, further purify it, remove impurities, and discard the useless parts.
The remaining two clumps of liquid were quickly brought together under Ye Xiruo's control, but they were not very well-behaved and tried to cause trouble, so they were naturally suppressed by Ye Xiruo's force.
What a joke! We've reached the final step, how could we possibly let those two blobs of liquid cause trouble?
A ball of discolored liquid medicine, about the size of an infant's fist, was finally formed, and only one hour remained, but for Ye Xiruo, that was more than enough.
If you're going to do something, do it perfectly the first time. I don't want the oven to explode and I have to start all over again, which would ruin my mood.
The refining of Zishu and Yingxun went smoothly, step by step, with great method and charm, without any mistakes.
Soon, the pill was about to condense. Ye Xiruo's mental energy, as fine as a spider web, transformed into two frying pans. These two frying pans flew through the greenery, occasionally colliding with the medicinal liquid, causing the medicinal liquid ball to shrink slightly.
In the end, only half of the original amount remained, and the internal components of the medicinal liquid had already fused together, so there would be no risk of the furnace exploding. Ye Xiru controlled her mental power to forcefully squeeze the medicinal liquid ball together, and flames instantly rose up, firmly enveloping the medicinal liquid ball and beginning to roast it.
Half an hour later, the medicinal liquid ball had disappeared, replaced by a small rejuvenating pill the size of a longan. The surface of the pill was not very smooth or particularly round, but at this stage of the refining process, the small rejuvenating pill was basically considered to have been successfully refined.
Ye Xiruo smiled slightly, and it was done.
Turn the flame down and bake over a slow fire to make the surface of the pill smoother and rounder.
Ten minutes later, Ye Xiruo cast the pill-collecting incantation, and a snow-white pill appeared in her hand. It was of the highest grade and flawless.
It's already quite an achievement to have accomplished this much using only average medicinal herbs and animal fire.
Ye Xiruo took out a jade bottle, put the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill inside, and then put away the Beast Fire and Green Willow.
Zishu and Yingxun finished their work around the same time. Judging from their expressions, they must have succeeded. Next up is the grading, which will determine their treatment.
If the treatment is really too bad, Ye Xiruo plans to leave and open a small medicine shop. With so many adventurers and mercenaries in Mo City, she could make a fortune by specializing in healing medicine.
"Elders, should this assessment be done on the spot, or should we go back and wait for the results?"
"It's better to finalize things on-site as soon as possible, to avoid any unforeseen complications."
"Alright." The three bottles of pills were placed in front of Elder Wang and Elder Ge.
"Minor Rejuvenation Pill, a high-grade fifth-rank healing pill, grade 93%." Elder Wang and Elder Ge glanced at it and smelled it before giving their grade assessment, which they considered quite good.
"Great Rejuvenation Pill, a top-grade seventh-rank healing pill, level 93%." This was Zishu's assessment. As expected of the senior brother, there was absolutely no possibility of failure.
"Nourishing Spirit Pill, a high-grade sixth-rank Spirit-Nourishing Pill, level 92%." This was Ying Xun's level assessment result.
"Congratulations to the three alchemists for successfully passing the test at You Ran Ju. Excellent results."
"What about our treatment?" This was something they expected; treatment and crystals were what they cared about most.
