Only those alchemists with a certain level of skill can see what is difficult about refining the Yuanshen Pill. They can see that the dancing rich medicinal spirit energy is devouring something. After devouring it, it will become much stronger, and then it will be compressed by Shen Xiang to prevent the medicinal spirit energy from expanding due to its growth.
Those medicinal auras are also something equivalent to mental power, except that they are the spirits inside the medicinal materials, pure, not controlled by anyone but very violent.
"So that's how it is. This little rascal really opened my eyes. I have to admire him! No wonder you, Meng'er, a great empress, have a special liking for this little rascal." Hua Xiangyue laughed. She had been staring at Shen Xiang's transparent alchemy furnace. She was also an alchemist, but she had never refined the Yuanshen Pill. Of course, she had to take a closer look.
Liu Meng'er snorted, "Aren't you the same?"
"Are you jealous? Worried that I'll snatch you away?" Hua Xiangyue said with a smile, stroking Liu Meng'er's beautiful hair that hung on her chest.
"You're awesome if you can snatch it away." Liu Meng'er stuck out her tongue, her beautiful eyes flashing with complex expressions. Looking at Shen Xiang's serious and handsome face, she had to admit that she did fall in love with this little scoundrel.
Time passed little by little. Shen Xiang's magic furnace was originally shining with colorful rays of light, but now after Shen Xiang had fused the medicinal spirit with it, it turned into a dazzling white light. Moreover, the medicinal powder and the medicinal spirit were all fused together and divided into three groups by him. He actually wanted to refine three Yuanshen Pills, which scared all the alchemists again.
They all knew from the records that each furnace of this kind of pill only produced one pill, but Shen Xiang overturned their perception, and found that there were actually three pills!
Everyone who makes pills knows that if they want to produce more pills in one furnace, they need to retain some medicinal spirit and powder, and they need a strong spiritual sense to suppress the unstable imagination produced when multiple pills are condensed. If one pill fails during the condensation, all will fail.
In order to ensure success, many people choose to let some of the medicinal energy and powder flow away through the vent of the alchemy furnace. In this way, although the amount of pills produced is less, at least it will be successful and the medicinal materials will not be wasted. This is also written in many alchemy books. Over time, alchemists have taken it for granted.
But Shen Xiang seldom does this, so the number of pills he produces is large and the quality is very high!
Everything in the magic furnace was proceeding just as it did during Shen Xiang's refining. This made Shen Xiang more familiar with that elusive feeling. As long as he grasped that feeling well, he would be able to further master the extraordinary alchemy technique of refining.
Shen Xiang refined three pills in order to increase the combined value. Even if he failed to refine the Five Elements True Essence Pill, he still had a chance to get first place. If he could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he felt that he would definitely win.
If he hadn't brought the Qingxuan Fruit with him, he would probably have completed three types of lower-grade Xuan-level pills by now, and refining four foundation-building pills in one furnace would have scared a group of alchemists to death.
There is still one hour before dawn, and the three balls of air shining with white light in Shen Xiang's transparent alchemy furnace, after a violent shaking, suddenly gathered together, spinning wildly, and slowly tightening, the prototype of the pill has appeared.
At this time, everyone was watching with bated breath, and Shen Xiang's refining in his mind had already completed three Yuanshen Pills. This was the first time he had refined three pills, and he dared to try it only because he had learned the refining method. This success made him feel an indescribable joy.
After completing the three Yuanshen Pills, Shen Xiang held them in his palms, a smile appeared on his serious face. The other nine alchemists participating in the competition were under a lot of pressure. They did not expect Shen Xiang to actually refine such a strange Yuanshen Pill, and three at a time. They heard that during the ranking, one pill was sold for 50 million crystal stones. If calculated according to this value, they would definitely lose.
"This little rascal could only refine two pills last time, and that was with his powerful alchemy furnace. Now he has refined three pills without relying on any alchemy furnace! I have really squeezed out his potential." Hua Xiangyue's face was full of proud smiles. She felt that she had done a great thing. Now she felt as if she had guided out a proud disciple, and that disciple also had an amazing performance.
Shen Xiang is now very grateful to Hua Xiangyue, this fairy. He suddenly understood why Hua Xiangyue deliberately let him draw that broken alchemy furnace. It was not to make trouble for him, but to make him get rid of his dependence on using the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace.
Shen Xiang guessed that the next two games were arranged by Hua Xiangyue, because during the last assessment, he felt that the secret of his Flame Dragon Furnace had been discovered.
He had guessed it almost exactly, and that was also because he had a strange feeling.
"This kid will definitely refine the Foundation Establishment Pill next. He has screwed me over so badly!" Gu Dongchen wanted to cry but had no tears. Thinking of how he spent 20 million crystal stones to buy ten Foundation Establishment Pills, his heart ached again.
"Brother Gu, are you saying that the ten Foundation Establishment Pills at the auction are his?" Lian Yingxiao was slightly surprised and asked.
"That's right!" Gu Dongchen sighed.
"Strange, when you bought the Foundation Establishment Pill, Liu Meng'er was bidding against you! When Yue Jianglin was buying the Soul Forming Pill, it was also Liu Meng'er who was bidding against you! As far as I know, Liu Meng'er's disciple Xue Xianxian is Shen Xiang's wife, so..." Lian Yingxiao's words stunned Gu Dongchen.
Gu Dongchen clenched his fists and cursed, "It must be this guy who instigated Liu Meng'er to raise the price. Why would a proud woman like Liu Meng'er do such a shabby thing with this guy?"
Wu Kaiming also felt that this was very possible: "The one who was cheated the most was Yue Jianglin. Shen Xiang must have calculated that Yue Jianglin would definitely buy it, so he let Liu Meng'er keep raising the price."
"I know Liu Meng'er best. When I pursued her, she ignored me. I have been pestering her for thousands of years, but she is still the same. She should not do such a thing! Could it be because of her beloved disciple?" Lian Yingxiao said.
Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaiming couldn't understand why a noble empress would get involved with their sinister junior master to do such an immoral thing? You know, Liu Meng'er didn't lack crystal stones and true essence pills, so they had to plan to ask for clarification later.
Lian Yingxiao was now even more amazed at Shen Xiang's ability. He could actually convince Liu Meng'er. At the beginning, he asked Liu Meng'er to attend his birthday celebration, but Liu Meng'er refused to go.
"It seems that I have to take good care of the people on my Lotus Island and not let them come into conflict with Shen Xiang. This kid is too scary!" Lian Yingxiao murmured, because he understood Liu Meng'er's character. He could make Liu Meng'er lower herself to do something against the rules, and he could also make Liu Meng'er fight for him.
