The Hidden Test

There are a lot of magical medicines in the big vat, and their quality is very good. At this time, the alchemists in the competition venue can judge the quality by the smell emitted by the magical medicines.

All the participating disciples stood up and looked carefully at the magical medicine in the big jar. Many of them frowned because they did not recognize these magical medicines.

Shen Xiang didn't know either. The knowledge about elixirs that Feng Yujie passed on to him didn't have anything to do with these magical medicines.

"These magical medicines were obtained by those guys from the Kingdom of God. They will give you the recipes later and let you make the pills according to the recipes." Luo Tianjun sent a message to Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang quietly scanned the crowd and found a few relatively calm people, three of whom were young people and the other two were old men. They were all very calm when they saw these unfamiliar magical medicines. Shen Xiang suspected that there was also someone behind them who told them what the rules were.

"Inside these large vats are two jade plates, each containing a pill recipe. The first round of the competition is to refine the lower-grade elixir specified in the recipe within a limited time. Once the sand in the hourglass runs out, the round will be over." Lao Tieji pointed to an hourglass in the distance. It looked relatively small and could only last for two hours at most.

There are only two hours to refine two furnaces of low-grade divine pills, and they are the kind that have never been refined before. This is indeed very difficult.

What Shen Xiang was more concerned about was that there were only two kinds of pill recipes, but there were too many magical medicines in the big jar. There were at least hundreds of low-grade magical medicines, and there were more than ten large black tree roots underneath.

Shen Xiang suspected that these two kinds of inferior magic pills would require using up all the magic medicines in this big jar. If this is the case, then refining one of the inferior magic pills would require dozens of different inferior magic medicines. What kind of magic pill is this?

"Now you can start looking for the recipe." After Lao Tieji finished speaking, the hourglass began to flip. The participating disciples immediately cursed in their hearts, starting like this, it was simply a waste of time.

Shen Xiang had already used his spiritual sense to see clearly inside the large vat. He quickly took out two jade plates from it, and using the blood to penetrate his spiritual sense, he saw that it was just as he had guessed before. The two kinds of magic pills that needed to be refined would require dozens of magic medicines!

The jade token only contained the recipe for the elixir, but not the name of the elixir!

"What are the uses of these magic pills? I can't see anything about these medicinal herbs. These divine kingdoms are really mysterious." Shen Xiang planned to refine the kind of magic pill that requires the most magic medicine first, which requires seventy portions of magic medicine!

It is very time-consuming to sort out the magical medicine from this big vat, which is a great test of the alchemist's speed in identifying the magical medicine. Now many alchemists are complaining in their hearts because they feel that a lot of time is wasted just sorting out the magical medicine from the big vat and then processing it.

Shen Xiang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He also regarded it as a challenge!

Once the competition begins, you are not competing with others, but with time! This places high demands on alchemists in many aspects. If you are impatient, you will start to get very impatient, so it will have a great impact on sorting the magic medicine, causing the speed to become very slow.

Those who lack self-confidence will have the idea of ​​giving up and feel that they will definitely lose. Such people are already doomed to fail.

Of course, there were many excellent alchemists present who were able to keep their composure and sort the miraculous medicines calmly.

Shen Xiang had already heard a lot of sighs and complaints, because there were other miscellaneous magical medicines in this big vat, which were not used to refine the two kinds of magical pills, but were deliberately mixed in to increase the difficulty of the competition.

"The magical medicine mixed in here is somewhat similar to those used to refine the magical pills in the competition. If you are not careful, you will make a mistake! Is this a test of your ability to distinguish medicinal materials?" Shen Xiang also felt a little strenuous at this time. If he mistook the magical medicine, that furnace of pills could not be refined at all.

After nearly half an hour, someone finally started to make a fire to refine the elixir. This made many people focus their attention on this person. He was an old man dressed very luxuriously, and he was the elixir god of the Six Paths Temple.

The alchemy furnace used by this old man was also very large. While he was refining the elixir, he was sorting out the pile of magical medicines that he had poured out from the large vat. He also had to sort out the magical medicines for the second kind of magical pill that he needed to refine for the competition.

This way, a lot of time can be saved, and many participating disciples are planning to do so. However, it is not easy to do so, especially when refining an unfamiliar divine pill, and you have to be distracted to sort the divine medicine, which can easily lead to failure.

Shen Xiang did not do so, because this kind of magic pill was very unfamiliar to him, and he had to treat it with caution. Anyway, in this competition, he only needed to successfully refine two kinds of magic pills.

"That old man is Xiao Changle's new disciple. Although he is very old, he is quite powerful and talented! His talent in alchemy was discovered by Xiao Changle!" Luo Tianjun sent a message to Shen Xiang: "According to what I know, there are at least five guys present who have refined those two kinds of divine pills, because the people sent by the Kingdom of God have all come into contact with these five Alchemy Gods, including this old man from the Six Paths Temple."

Shen Xiang immediately understood why the old man from the Six Paths Temple was so efficient. It turned out that he had refined it before, and he could sort it while refining it! Only by doing this could he gain the most time.

Shen Xiang changed his strategy. He first sorted out the two magical medicines and then began to refine them!

The participating disciples have started to make pills one after another, and soon there are more than twenty people doing so. Shen Xiang has not started yet, and half an hour has passed!

Shen Xiang sorted out the magic medicine and then checked it carefully again. If the magic medicine was not right, it would be equivalent to a failure, so Shen Xiang was very serious and careful in this regard.

"Let's use this alchemy furnace, it should be enough!" Shen Xiang took out a relatively large alchemy furnace. This alchemy furnace was very ordinary. He asked Feng Yujie to prepare it for him.

It's not that Shen Xiang doesn't want to use a good alchemy furnace, but he hasn't found a satisfactory one yet, so he will carry many ordinary alchemy furnaces with him, which is enough for him.

"There is still one and a half hours left, which should be enough!" Shen Xiang looked at the hourglass, and then put the first batch of medicinal materials for the magic pill into the pill furnace, a total of seventy batches.

Shen Xiang is very famous among the lower-level Alchemy Gods, especially for his magical alchemy skills, which are completely contrary to common sense. Now it is indeed the case!

According to the recipe, the seventy kinds of magical medicines should be in a certain order, but he just threw them all in at once!

What's surprising is not just that, but that he then threw in another sixty portions of medicinal materials. Those sixty portions of magical medicine were used to refine the second type of lower-grade magical pill!

It is not surprising if two identical elixirs are refined in one furnace at the same time. Any alchemy god with decent skills can do it.

But the magic pills Shen Xiang is refining now are of two different kinds. The magic medicines in these two kinds of magic pills are very different. He actually threw them into a pill furnace to refine them, and it was his first time to refine them.
