The alchemy furnace, seated in the center by the setting sun, faced Ye Buxiu directly.
Ye Buxiu easily saw through his movements using the power of the Gouge Eye.
The old man's eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace in front of him.
He put a handful of herbs in, then used both hands to force the condensed spiritual energy into the furnace.
Flames erupted from the alchemy furnace.
Yu Hui remained calm.
He picked up the herbs with one hand and controlled the stove with the other.
He was muttering something to himself, but Ye Buxiu was too far back to hear what he was saying.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the old man successfully retrieved the pills from the furnace.
The elixir shone brightly, emitting a faint spiritual aura.
A green pill appeared before everyone.
The elixir comes in seven colors: red, orange, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
The highest known level of elixirs is level seven.
Only Xingge is capable of condensing crimson pills.
Other first and second-level pills are quite easy to obtain, but from the third level upwards, the difference between each level is a qualitative leap, which requires both talent and hard work.
The vast majority of people remain at the third-tier alchemist level throughout their entire lives.
Yu Hui is here today to help these people break through this bottleneck.
Although Ye Buxiu did not hear clearly, he had completely memorized Yu Hui's actions.
It's just throwing a handful of herbs into the stove!
Ye Buxiu left with a solemn vow.
"Young friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Yu Hui suddenly called out to Ye Buxiu.
Ye Buxiu was the first to slip away early.
He was also the first to leave early during his monthly recitation of alchemy experiences!
"The president's demonstration was very helpful, and I can't wait to go out and try it out!"
As Ye Buxiu spoke, he scanned the crowd and spotted a familiar face.
Holy crap, how did this idiot get in here too!
Li Ming stared at Ye Buxiu in surprise.
He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice Li Ming coming in halfway through.
"Young friend, there's no need to be in such a hurry. If you really want to test your success, why not come up and practice?"
Yu Hui said very kindly,
"That's not a good idea!"
Ye Buxiu declined, he didn't believe Li Ming would let him practice properly on stage!
In fact, Li Ming did not intend to let him leave so easily.
"Since you're already here, aren't you going to show off a bit? Getting instructions from Chairman Yu is a rare opportunity, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Chairman if you just gave it up like this? We won't let you leave!"
This guy directly swayed the crowd to his side.
Li Ming was still not satisfied and continued speaking.
"Why don't I practice with you? You can only see the progress by comparing your skills!"
The surrounding audience also became noisy and pushed him to the front.
Ye Buxiu had no choice but to take out the alchemy furnace he had just bought.
Everyone murmured amongst themselves upon seeing this.
In their eyes, this child was just a poor kid dressed in rags.
This alchemy furnace is completely out of character for him.
Only a few people noticed that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation around Ye Buxiu when he summoned the furnace.
Li Ming also took out a dazzling alchemy furnace from his storage ring.
As soon as the alchemy furnace was placed on the ground, the crowd began to whisper among themselves again.
The young master of the Li family would never possess a low-grade alchemy furnace; however, this particular furnace was easily recognizable to anyone with discerning eyes.
This was made by Master Wei Zheng, the maker of Xingge's alchemy furnace, who is also one of the world's top alchemy furnace masters!
That master's work cannot be bought with money!
They really have eyes!
Yu Hui didn't say much, but had a waiter bring out two portions of herbs and give them to them.
Seeing that the two boys were ready, he gave them a brief reminder and then announced the start.
"Follow the steps I've described and don't waste any extra spiritual energy! I'll give you a score based on that at the end."
Upon hearing the start sound, Li Ming immediately took out a handful of herbs and threw them into the stove.
He was unusually calm and placed his hand on the spot that Chairman Yu Hui had described, and began to calculate the time, just like him.
Normally, he wouldn't even be able to condense a single level-three pill.
Now, he has obtained such a treasure from his elders at home, which has greatly improved his control over his spiritual power.
It is already quite easy to refine a third-grade pill.
He didn't know Ye Buxiu's alchemy skills, but just based on this furnace alone, it could completely crush him!
Defeating Ye Buxiu is not the most important thing. He is now facing Master Yu Hui. If he can refine a fourth-grade pill, he will likely gain his favor.
Maybe I can even become their disciple!
The match had been going on for a quarter of an hour, and Ye Buxiu was still sitting there dumbfounded.
He had just watched Master Yu Hui's demonstration and thought it would be easy for him, but when he actually did it himself, he discovered a huge problem!
He has no spiritual power whatsoever!
The prerequisite for alchemy is a fire-attribute spiritual root. He doesn't even have a spiritual root, so how can he alchemy?
"System, I have no cultivation level, yet you're making me join Mao's Alchemist Association? Aren't you just setting me up?!"
[Hint: The host can use the Hellfire of the Netherworld Sealing Flame.]
"Can this also be used for alchemy?"
Ye Buxiu remembered that the flame was black. Could it stain the pill black?
【OK. 】
"Hehe, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ye Buxiu took out the Netherworld Sealing Flame from the system space.
This time, most of the people focused their attention on Ye Buxiu.
"There really wasn't any spiritual energy fluctuation just now!"
"It seems so!"
"Impossible, who would use a spirit ring without using spiritual power?"
But soon, people's attention turned to the weapon in Ye Buxiu's hand.
Even the afterglow was drawn in.
The Netherworld Flame is a weapon, and the contest between weapons often involves exuding a powerful aura in a direct clash.
Despite her best efforts to control the spiritual power emanating from her body, a trace of divine power inadvertently leaked out still attracted the attention of these mortals.
A sharp glint flashed in Yu Hui's wrinkled eyes, then quickly faded away.
The crowd was puzzled when he pulled out a weapon, as they had never heard of a weapon that could be used while refining pills.
Ye Buxiu noticed the surprised looks around him and shook the black sword in his hand.
"Please don't mind, everyone. This spirit sword of mine can help me better control spiritual power."
The rules of alchemy do not state that borrowing external forces is not allowed; as long as it is one's own, one is entitled to use it.
Everyone remained silent.
Let's wait and see what Ye Buxiu is up to.
Ye Buxiu didn't bother with any useless fancy tricks; he simply drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Like a matchstick, Ming Fengyan streaked through the air, leaving behind a black flame.
Black flames!
Everyone was shocked.
They themselves belong to the fire element and have a profound understanding of fire.
However, at this moment they were all asking themselves about their inner memories.
Are there still black flames in this world?
