219 Everything for the Prize
Chapter 219
In the square of the inheritance space, Qiu Yi and Ji Yuan, as well as the Shengyuan Sect alchemist Cheng Chaozhe who was provoked by Feng Ming before, and his guardian, appeared almost one after the other.
As soon as they saw Qiu Yi and the other two appear, Wu Liyan and her men immediately surrounded them, and the same was true for the Shengyuan Sect.
"Junior Brother Qiu, how is it? Which level have you reached?"
Qiu Yi first looked around and found that Feng Ming was not there, so he knew that Feng Ming must have a better performance than him in breaking through the levels and did not come out so early.
Ji Yuan helped to explain: "Junior Brother Qiu made it to the seventh level, but failed at the seventh level."
Wu Liyan shouted: "Oh, you are stuck at the seventh level, but it is a very good result to be able to make it to the seventh level. Most other alchemists failed at the sixth level and dropped out."
Shui Yingyin, the third place winner of the league's alchemist competition, comforted Qiu Yi: "Yes, Junior Brother Qiu, I failed at the sixth level. I was so close to success, but unfortunately I had a feeling I failed three times in my attempts to make pills. It was not easy for Junior Brother Qiu to reach the seventh level. I heard that the pills needed to be refined for the seventh level are all fifth-grade pills. "
Qiu Yi nodded: "All fifth-grade pills, only three chances, I refined two kinds of pills, and the third one failed."
Wu Liyan patted him on the shoulder, knowing that this was a very good result. Compared with the league competition, Qiu Yi's pill refining skills have improved a lot, otherwise he would not have reached the seventh level at all.
"Now it depends on Feng Ming. I don't know which level he is at."
Thinking of Feng Ming, Qiu Yi smiled: "I have reached the seventh level. He is definitely at the seventh level. I have discussed with him privately. The speed of that guy's medicine refining is much faster than mine, and his success rate is higher than mine. There is no way he can fall behind me."
Wu Liyan was immediately excited. Does this mean that Feng Ming may be able to reach the eighth level?
At this time, someone shouted: "Impossible! Feng can't possibly reach the seventh level. He is a pharmacist who is only in the early stage of Yuanye Realm. How can he pass the sixth level? I don't know which level he is still struggling at now."
Qiu Yi turned around and saw Cheng Chaozhe shouting with a flushed face.
Qiu Yi said calmly: "If you say it's impossible, then it's impossible."
Why bother with someone who can't afford to fail? Anyway, we'll know when Feng Ming comes out.
He was able to enter the seventh level smoothly this time because he had advanced to the Yuandan realm and had exchanged ideas with Feng Ming. Otherwise, he would be stuck at the sixth level.
He was just worried about whether Feng Ming's master, Master Yu Xiao, had started teaching Feng Ming how to refine the fifth-grade pill.
Qiu Yi looked around and didn't find Zuo Wenfu, another pharmacist of Shengyuan Sect, so he asked Wu Liyan.
Wu Liyan said, "He came out not long after you entered. He was also stuck at the seventh level. After taking a breath for a while, he knew you were here, so he went in for a second try. Junior Brother Qiu, do you want to take a rest and then go in for another try?"
Qiu Yi was a little interested: "If you try again, will you get the same prize?"
Wu Liyan shook her head: "No, except that if you succeed in passing the seventh level, you will get the prize for the seventh level."
Qiu Yi was disappointed: "Forget it, I know the seventh level. Even if I am given another chance, I may not succeed. It's better to wait a little longer and try again at the last minute."
"Well, you should use this time to improve your alchemy skills."
Qiu Yi nodded. He got some rewards that were helpful for alchemy and soul power during the level break. He would spend some time to digest these rewards. Maybe he could make some progress. Then he would try again.
He didn't want to be as eager for success as Zuo Wenfu.
"Senior Brother Ji, I will accompany you to the formation hall."
"Okay, you can rest on the side and think about the alchemy skills."
Ignoring the reaction from Shengyuan Sect, the two did not wait for Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to come out, and went to the formation inheritance hall to break the level.
Qiu Yi didn't know where Feng Ming's ceiling was in alchemy, and he couldn't estimate the time when he would come out, so there was no need to wait outside.
***
Feng Ming recalled his master's method of refining the fifth-grade pill, and then carefully read the medicine refining inheritance and pill formula in his hand, and then simulated the refining in his mind first, and then started the actual operation when he felt confident.
The first kind of pill, the first attempt failed.
But after the failure, Feng Ming did not show frustration, but gained some confidence.
The second attempt was successful, but only seven pills were produced, and they were low-grade and medium-grade pills.
Feng Ming was more confident. After some adjustments, he started the third attempt. This time he wanted to use all the trial and error opportunities.
The third attempt was successful, and he made nine pills. Because he increased the infusion of soul power, he actually refined a top-grade pill, five high-grade pills, and three medium-grade pills.
"Brother Bai, I have refined a top-grade pill."
Bai Qiaomo was studying the formation beside Feng Ming. When he looked up and saw the top-grade flawless pill in Feng Ming's hand, he smiled and said, "I believe that Brother Ming will succeed."
"Yes, I will keep encouraging you."
In the following refining process, Feng Ming never failed again. The only difference was that the quality of the finished pills was different.
He used all three opportunities. Although he failed to keep the record of making a full pill of top-grade pills, he refined top-grade pills for each type of pill.
Feng Ming himself was also very satisfied with this result, not to mention Bai Qiaomo.
If he is given more opportunities, he will definitely be able to refine a full pill of top-grade pills.
The emotionless prompt sound of the level-breaking sound appeared again, and Feng Ming happily waited for the prize of this level.
What surprised him was that the number of light balls falling from the sky increased by one compared to the previous six levels, becoming three light balls. The
more light balls, the better.
Feng Ming grabbed two of the light balls, not even complaining that he was exhausted from the consumption. He would talk about regulating his breathing after he saw the prizes.
Let him be happy first.
The first jade box was opened and it was found that it contained ten soul stones, and this time the soul stones that appeared were top-grade soul stones.
The second jade box contained ten bottles of soul-purifying water, and they were all top-grade soul-purifying water, very pure.
The third jade box contained a piece of dead branch, which was gray and only as long as a finger.
Feng Ming picked up the dead branch and asked curiously, "Brother Bai, what tree is this dead branch from? It appears in the prizes of the seventh level, so it must be from a prominent source."
In his opinion, this should be a natural treasure on par with the top-grade soul stone and the top-grade soul-purifying water, so it must be of good quality. However,
his eyesight was still a little lacking, and he could not recognize the treasure even though it was in his hand.
Bai Qiaomo took it, observed it carefully, and said, "Brother Ming, try to touch this dead branch with your soul power, be careful."
Feng Ming responded, and then he followed Bai Qiaomo's instructions, released his soul power, and carefully touched the dead branch. Then he was surprised to find that "this dead branch is actually absorbing my soul power. Should I continue to input it?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "It seems that I was right. This dead branch should be a branch of the soul-nourishing tree. Brother Ming, increase the input. The soul-nourishing tree grows with the soul power of the cultivator, but in the process of growth it will also give back to the cultivator with pure soul power, and at the same time protect the cultivator's soul sea."
Feng Ming was shocked. It was the first time he heard such a thing: "So this branch is going to settle in my soul sea."
"Yes, brother Ming, use the soul stone, otherwise your soul power will not be able to keep up."
"Okay."
Feng Ming felt a little sad because he had just got the soul stone, but judging from Bai Qiaomo's meaning, the value of the soul nourishing tree was not less than the soul stone, so he could only use it with pain, hoping that the soul nourishing tree's appetite would not be too big.
When Feng Ming could no longer support himself, he could only take out the soul stone and absorb the soul power in it. The soul power that had just been absorbed was drawn to the branches again.
After absorbing Feng Ming's soul power, the dead branches did not change at all. The original dead branches gradually became green, as if the dead branches had turned green and revived. After
the first soul stone was used up, the soul nourishing tree still did not stop, so Feng Ming had to use the second one.
In this way, he used ten pieces of medium-quality soul stones, and the branch of the soul nourishing tree finally burped as if it was full, and then "whoosh" it turned into green light and flew into Fengming's soul sea.
Fengming touched his forehead, and then checked his soul sea. Sure enough, he found a piece of tender green branch standing in the center of the soul sea.
It actually squeezed the light ball of the previous Tianluo Soul Sea technique to the edge. Fengming had a feeling that this soul nourishing tree was a bit overbearing.
The soul nourishing tree had not noticed it when it was outside, but now it was in his soul sea, and the situation could be said to be clear.
Fengming found that the soul nourishing tree was nourished to the point that a tender bud appeared, and it might not be long before it could grow a leaf.
This is all really strange. His soul sea is full of strange things, making it seem like his soul sea can't make decisions.
After withdrawing from the soul sea, Feng Ming described the situation to Bai Qiaomo.
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "I have also heard people mention it occasionally. I have never seen such a strange thing. Every time it appears, it will cause fierce competition among strong people from all sides. Brother Ming can slowly explore its use during the cultivation process." Feng Ming
touched his eyebrows, as if he was touching his soul sea: "Well, I just feel that I have raised another little thing, and I need to raise more."
Bai Qiaomo laughed, isn't it true?
Feng Ming: "Let's go and see how difficult the eighth level is."
The two entered the eighth room. Now there were only three kinds of pills that needed to be refined, but the difficulty of refining had obviously increased, and there were still three chances.
Feng Ming took a deep breath and tried his best, all for the prize.
This time, he spent a longer time preparing and was prepared for the result that the first furnace would fail.
Unexpectedly, his first furnace was successful, and Feng Ming himself was a little surprised.
"I don't know why, at the critical moment, I had a flash of inspiration, and I followed that feeling subconsciously, and I succeeded."
Although the quality of the pill was not high, it succeeded in one try.
Bai Qiaomo said: "Is it because of absorbing too many soul stones? Or is it because of the soul-nourishing tree?"
Feng Ming couldn't explain what was going on, and there was no experienced predecessor to tell them what was going on.
"No matter, it's a good thing anyway, I will continue to refine it."
