Shen Xiang wanted to compete with the Alchemy King of Nanwu Kingdom in alchemy skills, which made the more than ten alchemists open their mouths in surprise. Although Shen Luzong knew that Shen Xiang was very talented in alchemy, he was too young to challenge the Alchemy King.
However, Shen Xiang's prize is indeed very tempting. The spiritual energy in the secular world is thin, which makes spiritual medicine very rare, so the alchemists in the secular world cannot resist the temptation of such rare spiritual medicine.
Meng Bo raised his head and laughed: "Haha... In that case, then I will accompany you. If I lose, I will give you my Xuanyang Pill Furnace!"
Xuanyang Alchemy Furnace! That is a famous alchemy furnace. It is said that it was picked up by Meng Bo. It is made of precious Xuanyang Stone. There are other magical features inside. This is also the reason why Meng Bo has made great achievements in alchemy.
All the alchemists looked at the fiery red furnace that Meng Bo took out with envy. The furnace was small and exquisite, and looked as if it was sculpted on a red gem. There were many exquisite patterns on the outside. It was obvious that it was not something that could be made by people in the secular world.
"If we are competing on the grade of pills, I will definitely lose. To be fair, I will only compete on the highest grade pill that I can refine, the Gangqi Pill!" Shen Xiang said. Only in this way can he have a chance of winning, and this is also the highest grade pill that he can refine now.
The Gangqi Pill is of great help to people at the sixth level of the Ordinary Martial Realm, because the seventh level of the Ordinary Martial Realm is the "True Gang Realm", which is the realm where one can transform the true Qi into "Gang". After taking the Gangqi Pill, it can help warriors at the sixth level of the Ordinary Martial Realm to become familiar with the Gangqi, while warriors at the seventh level of the Ordinary Martial Realm can strengthen their true Qi by taking it, making the transformation of true Qi into Gang faster and stronger.
"No problem. Shall we start now?" Meng Bo agreed very readily. In his eyes, no matter how talented Shen Xiang was, he was just a little brat after all and there was no way he could beat him. If the quality of the pills he refined was not as good as Shen Xiang's, then he would lose with a convinced conscience.
"Start now. You are responsible for the medicinal materials. If you don't have them, it's not too late to compete after you get them." Shen Xiang said. Over the past month, he has been constantly learning how to refine other elixirs. He has also refined several batches of Gangqi Pills. Except for a few failures at the beginning, he has mastered the key points and has not failed since then.
"Of course I have the medicinal materials, so let's start now! There are so many alchemists here to judge, I think the final result will be fair!" Meng Bo said. He was actually a little excited at this time. Originally, he was very jealous of Shen Xiang for owning the Golden Spirit Fruit. Because he owed the Yao family a favor, he agreed to come here to mess things up.
What surprised Meng Bo was that Shen Xiang was a young and competitive boy who actually proposed such a competition with such a huge gap in strength. Of course, he would not let go of such an opportunity.
Shen Luzong and the dozen or so alchemists were all very excited because they could see the King of Alchemy making elixirs with their own eyes, which was a very rare opportunity!
Most of the methods of refining elixirs are similar, but the process of handling medicinal materials is different. In addition, the properties of some medicinal materials are very special, so they must be handled very carefully, otherwise the refining will fail, and in serious cases, the furnace will explode. Once it fails, the medicinal materials will be lost. Low-level elixirs are okay, but if high-level elixirs fail, it will make an alchemist sad for a long time.
Now Shen Xiang and Meng Bo both began to "enter the fire" to warm the furnace, allowing fire to be generated inside the furnace while controlling the temperature inside, and then put in the medicinal materials.
Although the medicinal materials needed for Gangqi Dan are relatively expensive, they are still available on the market. The main medicinal materials are "Yuanling Mud", "Di Gangcao Root", "Xuanling Ginseng", "Huanghuo Leaf", and then there are some auxiliary medicinal materials, mainly ginseng that is more than 50 years old, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, Di Lingcao and other common spiritual medicines.
The difficulty of this Gangqi Pill lies in dealing with the "Yuanling Mud" and "Di Gang Grass Root". Yuanling Mud is a kind of mud that contains spiritual energy. Because it appears in a very special place, this mud can absorb spiritual energy by itself, and then refine the spiritual energy to produce a kind of spiritual energy that is closer to Gang. Yuanling Mud is very difficult to burn into powder, and it has extremely high requirements for flames.
The roots of the Di Gang grass are a kind of spiritual grass that even grows in the Yuan Ling mud. The roots go deep into the Yuan Ling mud and, after gestation, produce the "Di Gang". However, this kind of root is very easy to be burned to nothing, and that kind of strange Gang Qi is also very easy to evaporate, so it requires spiritual consciousness to control the flame and protect it well.
Shen Xiang failed several times in the beginning because of these two difficulties, but after he mastered the subtle essentials, he could easily make the "Gangqi Pill". At this time, Shen Xiang used flames to refine the medicinal materials into "medicine powder" and "medicine aura" with ease. Only by thoroughly refining can the impurities be driven out, otherwise it will affect the quality of the pill. Shen Xiang is very strict with himself in this regard, so the pills he refines are all of high quality.
Shen Luzong and those alchemists could feel that the temperature around them was changing slightly every moment, and some black gas was coming out of the alchemy furnace from time to time. That was the impurities in the medicinal materials being released. What made them astonished was that Meng Bo was sweating profusely and his brows were furrowed.
It was in stark contrast to Shen Xiang's relaxed expression!
Obviously, Meng Bo had not refined this kind of Gangqi Pill for some time. Once he became unfamiliar with it for a period of time, he would forget the subtle feeling of controlling fire and find it difficult to grasp the heating properties of the elixir.
Suddenly, Meng Bo's ruby-like alchemy furnace vibrated slightly, and a burst of colorful spiritual energy rose up! Meng Bo actually made a mistake. An Alchemy King actually made a mistake when refining this ordinary-level middle-grade pill. This made the alchemists very disappointed, and secretly despised this Alchemy King.
"Uncle, give him some medicinal materials for the Gangqi Pill. If he refines it again, he will still make it in time!" Shen Xiang opened his eyes and said lightly.
This made Meng Bo stunned, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He saw Shen Xiang grinning and smiling at him: "You failed because you didn't have enough medicinal materials when refining the elixir just now, which led to a deviation in judgment! The competition should be fair, and this is because you are not well prepared."
Meng Bo nodded slightly. He knew that Shen Xiang was giving him a way out. After all, he was a famous alchemist. If he made such a mistake, he would not be able to hold his head up. This made him secretly grateful in his heart.
Only then did he realize that Shen Xiang was not as arrogant as the rumors said. Whether in terms of how he dealt with people or how cunning he was, he was many times better than Yao Tianhua, whom he had mentored.
Shen Luzong quickly brought the medicinal materials, and Meng Bo started to refine the elixir again. This time he calmed down and no longer looked down on Shen Xiang. Instead, he regarded Shen Xiang as an opponent of equal strength to him!
Time passed little by little, and although it was always quiet, alchemists like Shen Luzong knew that very complicated processes were taking place in the two furnaces.
An hour and a half passed, and it was finally time to condense the pill. Shen Xiang was far ahead. He took out some green liquid and dripped it into the hole of an alchemy furnace. This liquid was diluted with ambergris and water. Adding some when condensing the pill could make the quality of the pill better. This was the method Su Meiyao told him.
Shen Xiang opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, while Meng Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead at this time. He had also finished.
