Chapter 779

Time continued to pass by.

Waves of elixir pills’ fragrance permeated the air.

An alchemist let out a low shout and slapped the top of the tripod furnace, and several elixir pills rolled out from the pill outlet.

He grabbed those few elixir pills, looked at them, and seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

As time went on,

one by one, the alchemists finished their concoctions.

The elixir pills produced by these alchemists varied in number, some had one, and others had three; the amounts were inconsistent.

After completing their alchemy, the alchemists stood aside and watched the others.

...

At this point, only four people were still in the midst of their concoction.

Qiu Tianduo, Bi Hanmo, Fu Xuelan, and…

Long Xiaoshan.

The first three didn’t surprise the other alchemists.

Seeing Long Xiaoshan’s concoction, these finished alchemists were all taken aback.

“True Fire Refinement, who would have thought that Master Long, at such a young age, could have such a vigorous True Qi.”

“Look at his technique and skill level; they also seem very sophisticated.”

These alchemists, naturally, had much stronger observational skills than regular people.

They recognized the proficiency in Long Xiaoshan.

Ruan Xuan said, “I told you long ago not to underestimate this Master Long, but you didn’t believe me.”

“Who would believe it?

At our age, we were probably still apprentices, learning to identify herbs, let alone True Fire Alchemy; we hadn’t even touched a Pill Furnace yet,” said Sun Zizhen from the Green Wood Sect.

“Do you think he’s really a Loose Cultivator?” asked an alchemist with a glint in his eye.

“Who knows?”

The other alchemists’ gazes flickered with uncertainty.

About half an hour later,

Bi Hanmo from Tianyi Sect suddenly stood up, started to circle the Pill Furnace, and shot a series of Elixir Formulas into it.

The flames within the Pill Furnace roared to life, spewing out from the furnace’s vent holes.

He gave a loud shout, and struck the Pill Furnace.

A powerful white stream shot into the sky, knocking off the lid of the furnace, and a fragrance spread everywhere as six elixir pills flew out in succession, landing in Bi Hanmo’s hands.

These elixir pills, perfectly round and exuding a faint halo of light, just their appearance alone was more impressive than those from the other alchemists, and six pills were produced at once.

The more pills produced, the higher the alchemist’s level was deemed and the smaller the loss.

Just as Bi Hanmo finished,

Qiu Tianduo also made his move.

His hands moved rapidly, creating a blur of afterimages, and with a bang!

The lid flew off, with white steam rising to the sky, and the scent of elixir filled the air.

A full seven elixir pills flew out.

Qiu Tianduo caught them in his hand, his expression revealing a hint of pride.

Bi Hanmo’s expression darkened slightly.

Qiu Tianduo had produced seven pills in one furnace, clearly one step ahead of him, but he soon regained his composure.

Although seven pills were one more than six, only the best pill needed to be presented for the final assessment.

In terms of elixir quality, he might not necessarily lose to Qiu Tianduo.

The masters from Medicine King Valley and Tianyi Sect had successively completed their task.

Both glanced around the room and shrank their eyes slightly; there were still two people left, Fu Xuelan and Long Xiaoshan.

While it’s not always true that a longer alchemy process means higher quality elixir pills, generally speaking, more difficult concoctions did require more time to complete.

At this point, everyone’s gaze fell on the two of them.

Both were still casting their Elixir Formulas methodically, completely focused as if they were cut off from the outside world.

Another twenty minutes passed.

Fu Xuelan’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and her hands gracefully spread out, resembling the Thousand Hands Bodhisattva, as she struck the Pill Furnace.

Each “arm” cast a unique hand sign.

“This must be the Thousand Hands Elixir Formula from Bodhisattva Gate!”

“I never imagined I’d be fortunate enough to witness such alchemy today!”

All the alchemists issued exclamations of amazement.

Qiu Tianduo and Bi Hanmo’s complexions drastically changed.

Fu Xuelan’s Elixir Formula had reached the pinnacle of skillfulness, her alchemy was entrancing and breathtaking.

It was unexpected that a disciple of Venerable Luqiu would achieve such a near Dao-like level of technique.

As Fu Xuelan performed the Thousand Hands Elixir Formula, the entire Pill Furnace started to tremble violently, with flares of flame swallowing and spitting.

Fu Xuelan placed her pale, jade-like palm on the Pill Furnace, and with a gentle tremor—

Hum!

A three-colored aura sprayed out, and a rich fragrance of elixir dispersed.

Then, one by one, Elixir Pills flew out.

Each Elixir Pill was round and translucent as dragon’s eyes, with three colors of luster flowing in every single one.

A total of nine Elixir Pills came out.

“Full yield!”

Qiu Tianduo and Bi Hanmo revealed looks of shock and resignation.

Fu Xuelan had actually produced nine Elixir Pills, reaching the full yield number.

Just by this feat alone, it was evident that Fu Xuelan’s alchemy skills were at least a notch above theirs.

Being able to produce a full yield, the quality of the Elixir Pills would undoubtedly not be subpar.

It was likely that in this Elixir Competition—

The first place would definitely belong to Fu Xuelan.

They originally had confidence in themselves to take first place in the competition, but Fu Xuelan, a senior student of Bodhisattva Gate, emerged halfway and regardless of their reluctance, they had no choice but to withdraw in defeat.

The Bodhisattva Gate was indeed the Bodhisattva Gate.

The strongest alchemy faction among the Hidden Sects.

They, the Southwest Hidden Gates, were too narrow-minded.

Just one direct disciple from Bodhisattva Gate was enough to crush the elders of their Southwest alchemy sects.

One could only imagine the strength of the elders and Sect Leaders of Bodhisattva Gate—it was unfathomable.

Fu Xuelan, with a faint smile on her face.

Even with her detached nature, she couldn’t suppress the pride in her heart at that moment.

She had just mastered the Thousand Hands Elixir Formula, and to be able to perform it perfectly this time was partly due to fortune.

The result was splendid, she had refined the full yield of the Tri-Color Jinyun Elixir.

Moreover, the quality of the Elixir Pills had reached an exceptional level, capable of neutralizing hundreds of poisons.

Securing the Hundred Spirits Grass seemed almost a certainty.

“Congratulations, Fairy,” Tang Xiao came up to congratulate her.

Although he did not understand Elixir Pills, he could comprehend the shocked expressions of the other Pill Masters, which was enough to prove the high level of Fu Xuelan’s refinement.

“You’re too kind, Young Master Xiao,”

Fu Xuelan replied with a serene smile.

Her gaze inadvertently swept across the field, and suddenly her eyes sharpened.

There was still one person in the field.

It was the extremely young Master Long.

He hadn’t finished his refinement yet, and Long Xiaoshan had started even before her—how could he possibly not have finished by now?

Fu Xuelan inquired, “Has he failed and started on a second furnace?”

Since the competition did not limit the number of times one can refine, only the quality of the Elixir Pills mattered, hence Fu Xuelan’s question.

Tang Xiao was slightly stunned and said, “I don’t think so.

He seems to have been sitting there the whole time.

Fairy, it seems to me that he’s just putting on a profound act, probably unable to refine anything.”

Fu Xuelan’s expression grew more solemn.

Ignoring Tang Xiao’s words, she stared intently at Long Xiaoshan.

Just now, while she was refining the Tri-Color Jinyun Elixir, she had nearly depleted her True Qi.

Long Xiaoshan had started refining before her, so by all logic, he should have run out of True Qi by now.

Why then was he still so calm and unhurried, showing no signs of depleting his True Qi?

Was he really just pretending?

Yet the flames in Long Xiaoshan’s Pill Furnace were clearly quite vigorous.

At this moment, seeing Long Xiaoshan still not collecting the pills, the surrounding voices of doubt and speculation grew louder.
