Chapter 197: Chapter 138: The Focus of Ten Thousand People (Asking for monthly and recommendation tickets!) _2
Translator: 549690339
The Alchemy Conference aimed to select outstanding alchemist talents and instill motivation through rewards.
Besides this, it also had another objective, which was to allow more alchemists to observe and learn from the alchemy process of these talented alchemists, thereby improving their own skill level and pushing the overall standard of alchemy in Ling Province to a higher level.
Therefore, as time passed, participants slowly started to stand out from the crowd.
The scenes projected from the four directions – east, south, west, and north, gradually stabilized and no longer switched constantly.
Among them, the scene from competition platform number 156 was being projected in the eastern sky of the venue, displaying Lu Yun’s complete alchemy process before everyone’s eyes.
Lu Yun seemed to be like a student who already had the standard answer, his whole process of refinement and purification was as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water, without any trace of idleness. He perfectly demonstrated incredible control over the flame and purification techniques.
Next was the fusion of all the purified medicinal fluids, followed by pill condensation.
This step would be more complex and intricate than any previous steps.
During this time, the most critical aspects tested were an alchemist’s concentration, control over the flame, and strong control capability.
If the concentration slipped even slightly, the medicinal fluids in the furnace, which took a great deal of effort and time to purify, would completely disintegrate and this round of assessment would come to an end.
Therefore, apart from testing the above abilities, it also examined the alchemist’s state of mind.
If one didn’t have a strong mentality, even if they possessed the above abilities, it would result in failure.
It could be said that, during this crucial step, any issue could cause irreplaceable losses.
The numerous spectators in the audience are all concentrating intently on Lu Yun’s techniques and actions, as if the person on screen was themselves; their dedication and focus were unparalleled.
Lu Yun was unaware that his alchemy process was being broadcasted. He concentrated on controlling the heat and moved the purified medicinal fluid from the isolation cabin to the main cabin.
Pure Yang Strong Origin carefully controlled the flame of the furnace, gradually roasting the medicinal fluids of different characteristics and incompatibilities.
As the heat slowly increased, the various medicinal fluids underwent severe friction, causing crackling noises to resonate from within.
This process was the most important and also the most dangerous.
When the medicinal fluids of various properties react and fuse together, a horrifying amount of energy would erupt. If the alchemist’s control over the flame and overall control aren’t strong, if they failed to suppress and guide it right away when the energy erupts, it will not be as simple as a blown furnace lid.
This would result in an actual furnace explosion.
However, for such a complicated and changeable step that requires full carefulness and caution, Lu Yun in the screen was still calm and composed, not pressured at all. He continued to intensify the heat, clearly with the intention to allow all the medicinal fluids to fuse together at the same time.
“Judging from the medicinal fluids that this kid has purified, it should be the third grade Rejuvenation Pill that he is trying to make. The instantaneous eruption of energy after the fusion of seven different medicinal fluids is extremely terrifying. Most people cannot control this. He’s really bold, huh…” On the high platform, Qian Yu smirked coldly, his malicious intention clear.
Most alchemists would fuse all medicinal fluids together at once due to their inability to control the energy that erupts.
If three or more different medicinal fluids fuse at once, the energy that erupts will be beyond their control. If not handled properly, it will likely result in a furnace explosion.
For Lu Yun, attempting to fuse seven kinds of medicinal fluids at the same time, an explosion would be considered lucky. If not careful, even severe injuries could occur.
The old men nearby also shook their heads with regret on their faces. They thought that Lu Yun’s approach was reckless.
A talented alchemist with such high levels of medicine refinement and fire control, being eliminated in the preliminary round due to recklessness, was truly a pity.
At the same time, they looked at Qu Feng with schadenfreude.
A sixth-grade pill recipe had just been wasted like this.
Qu Feng glanced at everyone like they were idiots, saying lightly, “Do you all think that an alchemist who possesses the Strong Origin can’t control the energy burst of a third-grade pill?”
At these words, those old men who previously looked regretful and gleeful gradually became stunned, and then revealed bitter smiles.
That’s right, they had completely overlooked the fact that the kid in the screen was in the Transforming Origin Realm and that he had been using Aura Origin in the entire alchemy process.
With his eyes locked tightly on the bubbling flames inside the Alchemy Furnace, Lu Yun controlled the heat using Pure Yang Strong Origin. Amidst the sizzling energy eruptions, the refining flame blazed even more fiercely, and finally, the seven types of medicinal fluids began to show signs of melting.
At this time, in the giant hourglass at the border between the two competition areas, about two-thirds of the sand had fallen, and Lu Yun’s alchemy was gradually nearing its end.
The numerous high-grade alchemists on the spectator seats, VIP seats, and the high platform, were all glued to the scene projected from competition platform number 156.
The conditions inside the Alchemy Furnace, as well as Lu Yun’s techniques of pill fusion and fire control, were all clearly presented.
However, the techniques were too quick. Some low-level alchemists were quite blurry in their observation, and some couldn’t even keep up with the speed. They could only get a rough idea, but this didn’t stop them from continuing to watch.
This was already a visual feast, a spiritual shock.
At the same time, they were all expecting something in their hearts.
One breath passed.
Two breaths passed.
About ten breaths later, the seven different kinds of medicinal fluids in the Alchemy Furnace, in the large screen, had all completely fused together.
However, inside the Alchemy Furnace where a massive energy shock would normally occur, it was surprisingly peaceful. No disorder showed up, even the refining flame was still burning serenely.
This scene completely stunned the alchemists in the audience.
Where was the promised energy shock?
Why was it so peaceful, so peaceful that it felt out of place?
Soon after, Lu Yun’s aura shifted, then the golden Pure Yang Strong Origin burst forth, instantaneously filling the whole screen.
Suddenly, a golden Strong Origin heavily hit the Alchemy Furnace, sending the lid flying. Immediately after, a dazzling light erupted from the furnace. Ten streaks of cyan light instantly filled the whole screen.
This sudden scene, which came out of nowhere, temporarily blinded everyone’s eyes, and disbelief filled their eyes.
“100% success rate in pill formation?” Seeing those ten streaks of cyan light chaotically flickering in the screen, someone couldn’t help but exclaim.
It should be noted that at this point, only half of the sand in the huge hourglass had trickled down.
Most of the talented alchemists in both competition areas were still undergoing the final refining process.
But competitor number 156, Lu Yun, not only had his pill successfully condensed, but the pill formation success rate reached an astonishing 100%.
Lu Yun stared at the ten streaks of cyan light bouncing around above his head, with a wave of his sleeve, those cyan lights immediately floated in front of him.
The cyan light surrounding them retracted to reveal ten Rejuvenation Pills, perfectly round and flawless, and among them four were crystal clear, glimmering spectacularly, leaving one dazzled….
