Chapter 410 Nine-turn Holy Healing Pill
Ning Xuan usually has her own alchemy furnace, but in order to prevent the people taking the assessment from tampering with the furnace in advance, those cannot be brought in and she can only use the furnace here.
Ning Xuan felt that the Nine Phoenix Rising Sun Furnace was very suitable for her, so she thought that if there was no other suitable one, then she would choose this one.
Except for Ning Xuan, other participants were not taking the test for the first time. They were all very familiar with the elixirs and alchemy furnaces placed in the waiting room. Except for Ning Xuan and Fu Rong, the others had already selected the medicinal materials, fire and alchemy furnaces, and were ready to make the medicine.
After Fu Rong explained some rules to Ning Xuan, she also chose what she wanted to use. After choosing the materials, the two placed the various materials they wanted to use on the alchemy table. At Fu Rong's suggestion, the alchemy tables they chose happened to be adjacent.
Although the waiting period is not a real test, but just to let everyone get familiar with the alchemy furnace and alchemy process of their choice, everyone is still ready.
The waiting room was already filled with the aroma of various medicines. The other candidates were concentrating on controlling their own flames, alchemy furnaces, and the medicinal materials waiting to be processed. Beside each alchemy table stood a recorder in a gray uniform. They wore video equipment and recorded every detail with a serious expression.
"Ning Xuan, it's okay at the beginning, but as you go along, there's more noise. Something might explode, something might break down. Remember, no matter what happens, don't be distracted. Once you're distracted, you're prone to failure," Fu Rong warned. "The worst thing you can do when refining an elixir is to be distracted."
Ning Xuan knew that Fu Rong was giving her this advice for her own good, so she nodded seriously and placed the herbs she had just selected on the alchemy table one by one.
Fu Rong saw the thousand-year-old snow Ganoderma lucidum that Ning Xuan placed on the alchemy table and sighed helplessly. She had just explained to Ning Xuan all the interests involved, but Ning Xuan insisted on doing so, and she had no choice.
If this thousand-year-old snow ganoderma was destroyed, she could just raise some money to pay off Ning Xuan's debt.
Fu Rong was thinking about this and was about to start refining the medicine when she found that Ning Xuan actually walked towards the row of cabinets containing precious medicinal materials again, and took out three kinds of precious medicinal materials from those cabinets in one breath, returned to her seat, and placed them on the medicine refining table.
Fu Rong sucked in a breath of cold air. It seemed that Ning Xuan had to be detained here today. She definitely couldn't raise the money. If those medicinal herbs were all wasted, even if she used up all the money she had, it wouldn't be enough to pay for the compensation.
Fu Rong had completely given up on Ning Xuan, and she concentrated on refining the pill formula she had chosen.
On Ning Xuan's side, she first arranged the selected herbs in the order of processing, and then lit the fire under the furnace. The moment the flame rose, Ning Xuan's entire temperament changed, and a flaming shadow flashed behind her.
The alchemy table that Ning Xuan chose was Table No. 9. The recorder at Table No. 9 felt the strong mental fluctuations emitted by Ning Xuan, and looked at the dozen or so black and red vines emerging from Ning Xuan's palm, his eyes widened in surprise.
Cheating is strictly prohibited in this assessment competition. He didn't know whether the vines that helped Ning Xuan process the herbs and control the flames were considered external aid, and whether Ning Xuan's actions were considered cheating. He immediately uploaded the video he had taken to the judging panel of the Alchemist Association and asked for their instructions.
The judging panel watched the video repeatedly and confirmed that the vines emerged from Ning Xuan's palms, which meant that the vines and Ning Xuan were one and the same, and it could not be considered cheating.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ning Xuan concentrated on controlling the refining of each medicinal ingredient, putting the refined herbs into the furnace in order. The recorder looked at Ning Xuan's skillful and dazzling technique, and a sense of respect arose in his heart.
Like those alchemy masters, he also thought that Ning Xuan was young and was just here to make up the numbers, and her main purpose was to steal their skills.
But now it seems that Ning Xuan has no interest in other people's refining techniques at all, but is concentrating on refining her own pills. Moreover, he can feel that Ning Xuan's grasp of the refining of medicinal materials is very precise, and her control over energy is also accurate during the refining process.
In Ning Xuan's alchemy furnace, the purified and refined medicinal liquid gradually condensed under the tempering of the spiritual fire. Her fingertips lightly tapped the furnace wall, and golden fire energy seeped into it like threads, precisely controlling the fusion of every bit of medicinal power.
Her expression was focused and calm, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her, and only the alchemy furnace in front of her was her entire world.
Ning Xuan seemed really confident.
Gradually, sounds of furnace explosions could be heard in the waiting room, and occasionally there were angry voices. Ning Xuan ignored them and focused on refining the pills.
"Buzz", a buzzing sound came from the alchemy furnace. The clear buzzing sound in the furnace was like the sound of nature, echoing in the entire waiting room.
In an instant, most of the other people stopped moving, and countless astonished eyes were cast in Ning Xuan's direction.
After the sound subsided, a refreshing aroma wafted from the furnace. Its fragrance was as clear as spring water, yet it carried a breathtaking, powerful vitality. Just a whiff of the medicinal aroma brought a sense of well-being, sweeping away the accumulated turbidity in the body. Even some old injuries showed signs of healing.
"What grade of medicine is this?" An examiner who was patrolling in the waiting room suddenly stopped and looked at Ning Xuan's alchemy table with disbelief in his eyes.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from Ning Xuan's alchemy furnace!
"Boom--" The furnace cover was pushed open by a vast elixir force, and a pill the size of a thumb broke through the air and hovered in the air.
The pill was crystal clear, with nine mysterious golden patterns flowing on its surface, emitting strong energy fluctuations.
"Is this the Nine-Transformation Holy Healing Pill? And it's of perfect quality. Ning Xuan, how did you do it? You're amazing! I was so worried about you just now, but you're so talented!" Fu Rong shouted in surprise. She had just finished refining a batch of simple pills and was about to challenge a higher difficulty. She had just put away the refined pills when she smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
Not only Fu Rong was surprised, but Lan Shuiyu and others were also shocked.
Ning Xuan quietly stretched out her hand, and the golden pill hanging in the air fell lightly into her palm.
Ning Xuan glanced down, her lips curled up slightly in satisfaction. "Well, it's worthy of being made with thousand-year-old snow ganoderma as the main ingredient. It's of pretty good quality."
Ning Xuan spoke in a light tone, not overly excited, as if this result was just a matter of course.
