“A pill pattern, there is actually a pill pattern!”
At some point, among the batch of alchemists in the audience, someone couldn’t help but point at the pill floating in front of Lu Yun on the screen, exclaiming in surprise.
After hearing this sound, other people also perked up their spirits and looked carefully.
The four pills with pill patterns radiated a more radiant luster, you could tell at a glance.
“This…”
When it was confirmed that there were indeed four pills with pill patterns, everyone was momentarily startled, their faces with a brief blank look. The usually bustling venue instantly fell into a dead silence.
As for Lu Yun, he glanced calmly at the round pills floating in front of him and with a gesture of his palm, a purple jade bottle appeared.
At the same time, ten pills, each surrounded by ten circles of pure light, flew into the jade bottle one after another.
Snuffing the refining flame, Lu Yun stood on the competition stage holding a jade bottle, calmly glancing at the giant hourglass in which the sand was flowing evenly. About half of the sand was still left.
“If I were to refine it once more, not only would the quality rate rise to fifty or sixty percent, the time required would also be greatly reduced.”
Shaking his head, Lu Yun then turned his gaze around.
At this moment, all the genius alchemists on the whole competition field were buried in refining. Even if they smelled the faint fragrance of the pill, knowing that someone had already made a product ahead of time, they were still undisturbed, showing extra-caution and prudence.
When refining, distraction is a big taboo, especially when facing such an incomplete pill recipe, coupled with never having refined such a pill before, concentration of attention is necessary. Otherwise, all the sweat from the early stage would be wasted.
As for the alchemists close to Lu Yun, because they were affected by the furnace explosion, their condition and spirit were disturbed, and they also wasted a lot of time, now appearing very anxious. Some of them even had sweat emerging on their foreheads.
Seeing this, Lu Yun shook his head slightly. If these people could adjust their state in time, they might still have a chance of success.
Otherwise, there would only be one result for them, that is, failure.
On the high platform, Qu Feng, who had been watching the screen displaying Lu Yun, also withdrew his gaze when it suddenly switched to another alchemist. He then looked at Qian Yu next to him with a face of regret and dissatisfaction.
“Really, this kid Lu Yun kept me in the dark too. If I had known his alchemy skills were this good, I should have made a bet with you. Ah, it’s not easy to have such a good opportunity, unexpectedly it was wasted by me like this.”
Hearing Qu Feng’s pretentious words, Qian Yu gave a faint smile, saying, “This is only the preliminary contest, being the first to make the product doesn’t represent anything. Only the final results in the final contest can represent the outcome of the entire Alchemy Conference.”
“Yes, you’re absolutely right, Brother Qian. In this preliminary contest, as long as you can make the pill in a set amount of time, you can advance. It doesn’t make much difference who made it first or last. But this brat, Lu Yun, why did he display so brilliantly? 100% success rate was acceptable, but even making four fine pills. Isn’t he just wasting all of his luck?”
Having said that, Qu Feng looked like he was heartbrokenness. Seeing this, Qian Yu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, showing great annoyance.
He, being a peak Sixth Grade Alchemist, naturally knew what it meant for Lu Yun to make four fine pills in less than half the time despite such difficulties.
Although he didn’t admit it verbally, he was all too aware that such a person would be a strong dark horse in this alchemy conference.
Looking at Qian Yu’s face getting grimmer, Qu Feng felt a sense of triumph, as if all the resentment that had been accumulating in his heart for countless years was released at this moment.
In past Alchemy Conferences, it was this old fellow Qian Yu who mocked him the most.
Of course, besides Qian Yu, the others around him hadn’t spared Spirit Martial Prefecture either. Today, at last, an opportunity had been presented, how could he give it up so easily?
The old fellows around him, who were all cunning, knew exactly what Qu Feng was going to do next, and they all moved their eyes away.
“Sure enough, they’re all a bunch of old foxes.” Qu Feng complained, losing interest in ridiculing others any further.
As time slowly flowed, a faint scent gradually wafted from the two competition areas, meaning that besides Lu Yun, other alchemists had also successfully made product pills.
In the Third Grade Alchemist area, the pure and adorable Chu Yuanyao raised her jade hand. Ten rays of light shot up into the sky and then fell into her hand in an instant.
The ten full and round pills rotated in her hand. With a gentle shake, they fell into the jade plate she had placed on the blue stone platform. Each one was pure white, flawless.
On the N0.3 competition stage, Mu Changfeng was playing with the ten pills in his hand, looking proud. He looked in Chu Yuanyao’s direction and caught her in the process of collecting pills, his face showing a look of astonishment.
During his alchemy process, to avoid interference from other alchemists, he had sealed his six sense organs and did not know what was happening outside.
In his view, he was certainly the first one to succeed in making a pill among the Third Grade Alchemists..
