Chapter 1513: Didn't I Say These Words Myself?_1

"Bang!"

The medicinal herbs within the Pill Furnace exploded, and green smoke billowed out.

The contestant in front of the alchemy furnace turned pale in an instant, his face filled with disappointment.

Failure in refining means elimination because he no longer has the time to refine another batch of medicinal pills.

An exploding furnace indicates no product was made.

More than one or two furnaces exploded. Those remaining in the top 32 are all strong alchemists. Aside from a few who didn't clearly understand the optimal solution of these pill combinations, most alchemists chose to refine either the Rising Dragon Elixir or Black Bone Elixir.

The Rising Dragon Elixir is extremely challenging, but success in refinement virtually assures entry into the top eight; the Black Bone Elixir is slightly less difficult, but even successful refinement might still lead to elimination.

Different choices, different outcomes.

Sighs and exclamations of surprise kept ringing out.
