With a "bang", Gao Tian's second furnace of pills exploded.
The stage and the audience were suddenly quiet. Seeing Gao Tian's ugly face, everyone could guess his mood. He was distracted by Gu Yao's situation while refining the pill. Obviously, the result was beyond his expectation. It was common for the furnace to explode due to negligence, but his face was even uglier after the explosion, which was more difficult for him to accept than losing a round.
Jin Qiu immediately cast a cold glare at Gu Yao who had his back to her. In her opinion, Gu Yao was the cause of her senior brother's situation.
Shen Xingzhi's beard hand paused slightly.
Gao Tian looked up at Gu Yao, and a smile suddenly appeared on his gloomy face: "It seems that I underestimated Master Yao Dan. Although Master Yao Dan has such a level, it is beyond my expectation, but it also makes me happy. I can give it a try next time. I hope Master Yao Dan will do the same."
Gu Yao smiled and nodded: "Okay, Master Gao Dan, please."
This time, the two started at the same time, throwing all the materials into the furnace together, lighting the fire, and refining. The movements of the two seemed to overlap, and everything was so orderly.
Huang Ruyue intertwined her ten fingers. For some reason, she felt more and more that Master Yao had a sense of ancient times. Cui Xin had not expected this result either. She had also seen the pills just now. Even if she, a third-grade alchemist, was asked to make them, she might not be able to produce such a result in the first furnace. She had traveled a lot since leaving Guiyuan Pavilion. She believed that her alchemy skills were not bad outside of Lingzhou.
She also thought of ancient times. Back then, a Gu Yao almost destroyed her apprentice. Now another Master Yao has appeared. Could he be able to defeat Gao Tian again?
She patted her apprentice's hand and soothed him: "It's too early. It's not easy to be a genius. Even Gao Tian is not that famous in Lingzhou."
The latter sentence was said to the apprentice through voice transmission, otherwise it would offend Shen Xing and Gao Tian for nothing. The golden ball was not a good person. After going to Lingzhou, she realized how talented some young alchemists were. If Gao Tian was outstanding enough, he would not have become a disciple of Shen Xing.
Those who were selected as disciples by second-grade or even first-grade alchemists were the real pride of heaven in Lingzhou.
Jin Zhan stared at Gu Yao's back, as if he could shake Gu Yao's mind and make him go wrong while refining the elixir, and it would be best if he could blow up one furnace after another.
But things did not go as she wished. Even until she stared until her eyes were sore, there was no problem in the alchemy furnace in front of Gu Yao. This time, whether on the stage or off the stage, they all paid more attention to this alchemist, not just watching Gao Tian's performance.
Even Shen Xing, every time he glanced at Gu Yao, his eyes showed a thoughtful look.
The cultivators on Jiang Jingfeng's side were excited and anxious. If there was no hope of winning, it would be fine. It would be a loss anyway, but now there was a glimmer of hope in front of them, and their hearts began to fluctuate.
The cultivators of the Penguin Clan were the most leisurely, chatting while chewing on the Ice Spirit Fruit. All of them were of ice attribute, and they looked at the Ice Heart Pill that Gu Yao had just made with greedy eyes, discussing with each other: "Let's go find Master Yao when it's over. Since we like him so much, he should agree to refine a few furnaces of pills for us."
The others laughed in their hearts when they heard this. It was good enough to ask such a master to refine one furnace of pills, but they wanted to refine several furnaces?
"Yes, we'll prepare the spiritual herbs and go over as soon as the performance is over. Master Yao will definitely agree."
The Penguin Clan seemed to be very good at talking to themselves.
Gao Tian put a lot of effort into this batch of pills. The pills condensed smoothly in the pill furnace. When the pills came out, the pills rotated in the air, reflecting a dazzling light.
"Fourth-grade high-level Jinyang Pills, three top-grade pills, four upper-grade pills, and two mid-grade pills*"
This result made Gao Tian very proud. Although one is a mid-grade pill and the other is a high-grade pill, the difficulty of refining is not only doubled, but Jinyang Pill is also a property pill taken by gold spiritual root cultivators, and the difficulty of refining is greater than other pills. He also performed well to produce three top-grade pills.
This time he did not rush to refine the next batch of pills, but waited for the results from Gu Yao.
Gu Yao still slowed down the refining speed, Gao Tian's results had come out, but he was still practicing the alchemy technique leisurely, not affected by the surrounding environment at all, which made several smart people present nodded secretly. With this calmness of mind, he was actually better than Gao Tian. Even if the result was not as good as Gao Tian, the future would not necessarily be too far behind. The reason
why Lingzhou has so many alchemists with high levels is not only because of talent, but also because the alchemy skills inherited in Lingzhou are higher than those in other states. Therefore, it is reasonable that Gu Yao, who was not born in Lingzhou, is a little weaker than Gao Tian.
Others, including the monks in the audience, were no longer as straightforward as they were in the first round. They were whispering to each other. Although they felt that Gu Yao had little chance of winning the second round, they would not underestimate him. With his ability to refine the top-grade Ice Heart Pill, he was already better than many fourth-grade alchemists.
With a "hum", the pill furnace in front of Gu Yao trembled, and pills flew out one after another. This time he refined the Soul Pill, which could warm the soul of the cultivator of the Void Realm, and was of great benefit to the cultivator's advanced fusion. The difficulty of refining this pill was no less than that of the attribute pill of the Golden Sun Pill, and it was even better.
The appearance of the Cangshen Pill was plain and gray, but several of them were surrounded by a circle of gray halo. This time, the pill attracted everyone's attention and consciousness. When they saw the situation clearly, they gasped again.
When the pills were delivered to Master Qiu, he carefully identified them and announced: "Fourth-grade high-level Cangshen Pills, four top-grade pills, and five top-grade pills."
The audience was buzzing, and some people paid attention to Gao Tian. This result was like a slap in the face of Gao Tian. If the standard was two wins out of three games, Gao Tian had already lost this competition. Of course,
the winner is not so simple. In the end, it depends on who can refine a higher-level pill. The final result will determine the winner.
Wu Yuan had crushed a folding fan before, and this time he crushed the teacup in his hand into powder mist, then waved the powder mist away as if he didn't care, and said happily: "Congratulations to Master Jiang, Master Jiang really has a unique vision this time. With Master Yao joining, Master Jiang will be able to train another third-grade master alchemist in the future. Wu congratulates Master Jiang in advance."
The people around Jiang Jingfeng were furious. At this moment, Wu Yuan dug out a person from Jiang Jingfeng. The third-grade alchemist who had left just happened to come over. This living example, coupled with the brilliant smile on Wu Yuan's face, reminded them of what had happened before, as if to say that no matter how good the fourth-grade alchemist Jiang Jingfeng had found was, he was no match for the third-grade alchemist. Even if Jiang Jingfeng spared no effort to train Master Yao Dan, the fourth-grade alchemist, to become a third-grade alchemist, it was for Wu Yuan and the others. Jiang Jingfeng was just making wedding clothes for them.
The cultivators around Jiang Jingfeng wanted to beat this guy surnamed Wei so badly that no one could recognize him. No one was in a good mood when seeing this guy. His appearance was just a reminder of the betrayal in the past.
Master Wei Dan originally wanted to avoid the scene where Jiang Jingfeng and Wu Yuan were fighting, but the news he received shocked him.
Tian, the alchemist from Lingzhou, had lost twice in a row to the alchemist Jiang Jingfeng had just recruited. He could no longer sit there and hurried over to witness the result of the last match.
Many people felt ashamed that alchemist Wei betrayed his old master and joined his old master's rival. However, he was a third-grade alchemist after all, so he would not show much contempt on his face. Who knows, someone might ask for help from him at any time. Besides, if Wu Yuan won, many people would think that he had good vision and followed the right person.
Wu Yuan's words now made Master Wei more embarrassed than before. He was thick-skinned, so he clasped his fists to both parties and the monks present, and then found a seat next to Wu Yuan. The people on Jiang Jingfeng's side could only look away angrily, and at the same time, they also had concerns about Gu Yao.
How many alchemists can withstand Wu Yuan's lobbying?
Jiang Jingfeng turned his eyes away from Master Wei with a calm expression and smiled at Wu Yuan: "Then I will accept Master Wu's good words. I also believe that there will be such a day."
In fact, this day has already come, and Gu Yao is now a third-grade alchemist, so why should he get angry about Wu Yuan's words.
"Then I'll be waiting." Wu Yuan was not angry either. He had already thought about it. After the competition was over, he would find a way to dig Gu Yao over. He didn't believe that Gu Yao would not be tempted and willing to stay with Jiang Jingfeng. You know, with the guidance of a third-grade alchemist, the chance of promotion would be much greater.
What's the benefit of staying with Jiang Jingfeng? At this time, Wu Yuan didn't think about what Gao Tian and Jin Qiu would think. Would they tolerate someone who defeated Gao Tian?
Maybe Wu Yuan thought that Gao Tian would perform well when refining the fourth-grade top-level pill and win this last round.
After the second batch of pills was finished, Gu Yao began to regulate his breathing as if no one was around, and then he began to refine the last batch of pills after recovering to his best condition. Seeing him like this, Gao Tian couldn't calm down even more, because Gu Yao's expression seemed to say that defeating him, Gao Tian, was just a common thing, and it was not worth getting surprised and emotional.
It took him a while to suppress his emotions and join the ranks of regulating his breathing. After all, his cultivation level was one level lower than Gu Yao's,
and he couldn't show off his cultivation level. For the last batch of pills, Gao Tian didn't have the relaxed mood as before. Although his cultivation level was one level lower, it was he who initiated this challenge, and Gu Yao was not a bully.
Originally, he thought that if he could defeat his opponent with absolute advantage despite being one level behind in cultivation, his reputation in Fengzhou would rise to a very high position. But now, it is not good, and his original reputation will decline.
