Except for Shen Xiang, all the ten alchemists on the field took out some precious elixirs, all of which many people could call out by name. They all began to process the medicinal materials, and only Shen Xiang did not move.
Actually, Shen Xiang had already started, but he was refining a furnace of Zhenyuan Pills in his mind. Because this was the most pills he had ever refined, it would be best to try this first.
"You little rascal, go ask Madam Li if you can refine other pills to practice. We have plenty of time now!" Su Meiyao said.
Although Shen Xiang was practicing refining the Zhenyuan Pill in his mind, he was still able to distract himself to do other things.
"Madam Li, can I refine other pills to practice?" Shen Xiang asked.
"There is no stipulation in the rules. If you don't worry about your own consumption and wasting time, it is okay." Mrs. Li said. It is common for alchemists to practice their hands before refining the elixir, and they use their own time, so it is allowed.
Shen Xiang was going to practice his skills, which made many people who were about to leave stop immediately, because watching Shen Xiang making the elixir was a kind of enjoyment. They could see the elixir being formed in the transparent elixir furnace, and the process was very regular and beautiful, especially those emitting colorful medicinal auras, which were like colorful light bands dancing inside.
"It's over. This little rascal wanted me to take him back to Taiwu Gate to get the Qingxuan Fruit. I happened to have one on me at that time, so I gave it to him." Liu Meng'er suddenly thought of something and stomped her feet lightly, blaming herself for not taking Shen Xiang back to Taiwu Gate, otherwise Shen Xiang would not be short of Qingxuan Fruit now.
Liu Meng'er learned from Hua Xiangyue about the process of Shen Xiang becoming a fifth-stage alchemist. Shen Xiang could only refine three kinds of low-grade Xuan-level pills, the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Soul Pill, and the Hundred Beasts Pill. During the assessment, Shen Xiang only used one Qingxuan Fruit, which he certainly didn't have now.
"Maybe he doesn't even have the medicinal ingredients for the Yuanshen Pill!" Liu Meng'er was very worried and looked anxious.
Hua Xiangyue was also a little surprised: "You gave him the Qingxuan Fruit? This is troublesome. He can't refine the foundation-building pill without the Qingxuan Fruit! I hope he has the ingredients for Yuanshen Pill and Baishou Pill. Maybe he can win with these two pills."
"The Yuanshen Pill is much harder to refine than the Baishou Pill. I wonder if he can make it through. He should be familiarizing himself with this alchemy technique now."
Shen Xiang has already refined a furnace of Zhenyuan Pills in his mind, but that was only refined in his imagination. Of course, it was successful in the end, and now he has to put it into actual combat.
He quickly processed the herbs for the Zhenyuan Pill. He still had a lot of them. After finishing, he released the magic furnace and threw the herbs into it. At the same time, he had already started refining in his mind, and he was one step ahead. The shapes and sizes of the herbs, as well as the textures on them were all simulated in his mind. He even simulated the entire venue, the surrounding environment, the people and the sounds.
He placed his hands on the fire inlet and began to pour flames into it, but the simulated scene in his mind was happening faster and the herbs had already begun to burn.
If there is no problem with the rehearsal in his mind, he will refine it according to the rehearsal, and the temperature and other things will be consistent with the rehearsal.
Soon, Shen Xiang deeply felt the power of the refining method. It was exactly the same. What happened in the alchemy furnace was exactly the same as what he had refining in his mind in advance.
Shen Xiang was refining the Zhenyuan Pill, which was a medicinal pill that many people often used. No one expected to witness the refining process today.
The medicinal materials of Zhenyuan Pill were also colorful at the beginning. After being burned by the fierce fire, they rose to the top. The medicinal spirit energy of various colors sometimes entangled and sometimes repelled. The flames were sometimes big and sometimes small, and sometimes there was even no flame...
The various changes in the alchemy furnace were the same as what Shen Xiang had imagined in his mind, even the various movements of the medicinal spirit were the same.
At this moment, Shen Xiang really had a feeling, as if he saw what would happen in the alchemy furnace in the future. He was refining a furnace of pills, but it seemed like he was experiencing it twice. This feeling was very magical.
Those seventh-level alchemists stared at Shen Xiang's transparent alchemy furnace intently, wanting to see how Shen Xiang was able to refine the Zhenyuan Pill without using the Spirit Crystal Milk. However, they could not see it because Shen Xiang poured a large amount of water-attributed Zhenqi into it, which turned into invisible water vapor and was wrapped in the medicinal powder, making it difficult to see.
In less than half an hour, Shen Xiang had refined a furnace of Zhenyuan Pills. He slowed down the process in order to cooperate with the refining method.
After finishing one furnace, he continued to refine another. He wanted to master this technique so that he could refine more complicated pills.
What was surprising was that Shen Xiang actually kept refining Zhenyuan Pills endlessly, from dusk to late at night, and he refined nearly thirty furnaces. Moreover, each furnace contained five pills, all of which were top-quality medicinal materials. His pill-refining skills had already made many people deeply admire him, and some alchemists even looked at him with respect.
"I knew you, little rascal, were good. You mastered this technique in just a few strokes. But you have to know that refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill is many times more difficult than refining the True Essence Pill. The spiritual consciousness and energy consumed at that time are also very high." Su Meiyao praised, and at the same time reminded Shen Xiang not to take it lightly.
"Next, refine the Hundred Beasts Pill, and then the Yuan Shen Pill. Both of these pills must be simulated using the refining method. Finally, refine the Five Elements True Essence Pill!"
Although Su Meiyao did not appear surprised on the surface, she was extremely shocked in her heart. It took her many years to master this technique. Although Shen Xiang was now only silently reciting the elixir he was most familiar with, he had undoubtedly crossed the threshold, because what he refined in reality was exactly the same as what he practiced, which meant that Shen Xiang had initially mastered it.
Seeing Shen Xiang take out the medicinal materials for the Hundred Beasts Pill, everyone immediately became excited, and told Shen Xiang to start the competition. However, he spent a lot of time practicing, and now there were only more than three hours left until the sun rose.
What everyone was more curious about was the three kinds of low-grade Xuan-level pills he had refined. This had always been a secret, and even Madam Li didn't know about it, because the alchemists who had supervised Shen Xiang's examination had to keep it secret.
Many people in the competition arena have left, only some alchemists and some other people are still here.
Of course Yun Xiaodao and the others would not leave. They all sat tightly in the square, looking at the alchemy furnace on the field that was emitting colorful rays of light.
Lian Yingxiao was with Gu Dongchen and the others. He was also very interested in the final result. After all, Shen Xiang was the young man he admired the most in history.
"Master Lian, you have to keep an eye on your son. I tell you, this kid is fearless! If you make him angry, he will even dare to kill the son of the emperor." Gu Dongchen said in a serious tone. He was telling Lian Yingxiao that if one day his son was killed because he was wrong to touch Shen Xiang first, he would definitely stand on Shen Xiang's side.
"I will definitely discipline him strictly after I go back. Even I am afraid of Shen Xiang's murderous aura! This kid is so young, how many people has he killed to have such murderous aura?" Lian Yingxiao nodded solemnly. He had no doubt about Gu Dongchen's words.
"You will know in the future that he has killed those big guys, and then you will be scared silly!" Gu Dongchen laughed. The outside world believed that the head and elders of the Beast Martial Sect, as well as those Nirvana realm masters of the True Martial Sect were all killed by Gu Dongchen, but in fact, they were all done by Shen Xiang.
Gu Dongchen was also blamed for Shen Xiang, but he did it very honorably.
