Chapter 351 - Pill Formation

Not only were the martial artists around shocked, but the elders in the stands were even more surprised.

“What kind of combination engraving is this, that it can actually absorb spiritual energy!” Song Yunxing and Elder Hei Xin looked grim-faced as they stared intently at the sky.

Although the people of Dan King Hall did not understand, Lin Xuan’s dominance made them very happy.

Meng Chuan looked at the engravings beside Lin Xuan and suddenly revealed a look of surprise, “Could it be that?”

“President, what is it?” the elders around him asked.

Meng Chuan tapped his fingers on the chair, his face showing a look of reminiscence.

“Above combination engravings, there is another kind of inscription, called Pill Formation, which can absorb nature’s spiritual energy and greatly improve alchemy efficiency.”

“I saw it once when I was young, I never thought I’d see this technique again here!” President Meng Chuan said slowly.

Everyone was amazed, a technique even the President admired, it must be extraordinary.

But why does Lin Xuan know this mysterious technique, could it be he has some unique background?

Many elders looked towards Dan King Hall, trying to glean some information from them.

But the elders of Dan King Hall were also surprised, looking as if they knew nothing.

In the square, Lin Xuan’s Pill Formation created a peculiar scene, causing the surrounding combination engravings to nearly collapse.

Duan Fei was almost going crazy, he did not expect Lin Xuan to have another trick up his sleeve.

He Nian’s face was also gloomy, “Even with Pill Formation, what good is it if his own strength is not up to par?

He still won’t be able to refine high-quality elixir pills!”

She no longer paid attention to Lin Xuan, instead focusing on refining her elixir pills.

The others also snapped out of their stupor and began to refine their own elixir pills.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, controlled the Pill Formation, and with the help of a specially made Pill Furnace, began to refine Xiong Huang Ancient Spirit Wine.

Although he had strong assistance, he dared not be even slightly careless, after all, this was a Fourth-grade Elixir, the difficulty of which, was daunting.

Moreover, he had only three sets of ingredients, and no room for failure.

As time passed, the elders in the stands gradually made out the elixir pills that the competitors on the stone platforms were refining.

“That Duan Fei is refining, it’s actually the top-grade elixir among the Third-grade, Purple Spirit Pill.”

“This pill has a very high difficulty; generally, Third Grade Alchemists have a low success rate.

Duan Fei’s choice to refine this must mean he is quite confident.”

“I find it hard to believe, although he has a Spiritual Grade Treasure Furnace, he spent too little time as a Third Grade Alchemist, his foundation is still not solid enough!”

“Look at Dean Song and the others, their expressions are quite confident!”

Many elders whispered among themselves.

“I wonder what elixir He Nian is refining?”

Many people looked towards the stone platform, then suddenly revealed shocked expressions.

“This technique, it seems to be a Fourth-grade Elixir.”

“Fourth-grade?

Impossible!”

“Right, what cultivation level is she to be able to refine Fourth-grade Elixir Pills?”

“President, could you take a look and confirm if that’s a Fourth-grade Elixir He Nian is refining?” someone asked.

Meng Chuan had already noticed He Nian’s actions; he was frowning heavily at this moment.

“It is indeed a Fourth-grade Elixir, the Xuanyin Pill.”

“It’s really a Fourth-grade Elixir!” the elders around exclaimed in astonishment.

Even Song Yunxing and the others furrowed their brows, He Nian’s strength exceeded their expectations; if she could truly succeed, the first place would likely be hers!

Keep in mind, a Fourth-grade Elixir is already very high-grade and considered a precious elixir in Heavenly Mountain Country.

“Damn it, I didn’t expect this guy to be so powerful.

If I had known, I should have killed her with one palm back then!” Old Man Di Que said hatefully.

He and President Meng Chuan both knew that He Nian was not just a fifteen-year-old child but a monster that had lived for who knows how many years.

Now that she dared to refine a Fourth-grade Elixir, she must be sufficiently confident.

“I wonder how Lin Xuan will deal with it?” Old Man Di Que became worried.

Meng Chuan, the President, was equally worried; he surely didn’t wish for the Demon Clan to win the competition.

He let out a deep breath and turned his gaze once again towards the Stone Platform.

This time, his eyes lingered on Lin Xuan.

“Hmm?

He’s about to finish refining!” Meng Chuan was somewhat surprised.

Others were shocked as well, looking at Lin Xuan with some disbelief.

One must know that the rest had only completed half so far.

“It seems that the Pill Formation is indeed powerful, actually allowing the speed of alchemy to increase so much!”

Lin Xuan controlled the Pill Furnace, his expression extremely solemn; the final pill creation process was very important, not only determining success but also the grade of the Elixir Pills.

A scent of pills wafted from the Pill Furnace, spreading in all directions.

Duan Fei’s face turned gloomy; from the scent of the pills, he realized that the quality of the Elixir Pills refined by Lin Xuan was not inferior to his own.

If Lin Xuan finished first, his own efforts would seem a lot less impressive.

After He Nian asked about the scent, he revealed a cold smirk.

“Merely subordinate goods, it looks like I’m destined to win this time!”

Meng Chuan and the others, sensing the scent of the pills, also revealed surprised expressions.

“This aura, it appears to be a Fourth-grade Elixir as well.”

“Lin Xuan is actually refining a Fourth-grade Elixir!” Voices of astonishment rang out, and the surrounding Martial Artists were all shocked, showing expressions of amazement.

“This guy, he’s too crazy!”

“He’s just a Third Grade Alchemist, yet he’s refining a Fourth-grade Elixir; he truly is a peerless talent!”

While people continuously praised him, Lin Xuan’s face slightly darkened.

He was not satisfied with the grade of this batch of pills; although a Fourth-grade Elixir was impressive, a subordinate Fourth-grade Elixir was not enough to win against He Nian.

He knew that his opponent was definitely a terrifying Alchemist.

“Sigh, it looks like I can only raise the grade!” Lin Xuan’s palms moved swiftly, fully controlling the Pill Formation, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

“This guy, he’s gone crazy!” President Meng Chuan stood up in shock.

He naturally understood Lin Xuan’s intention, but such a crude method of enhancing the Elixir grade was very likely to fail!

This was a competition, time-limited, and every failure had a profound impact on the final results.

Moreover, improving the grade of a Fourth-grade Elixir was not so simple!

Lin Xuan’s actions made everyone tense, especially the Medicine Emperor Institute and the He Family, who stared fixedly at Lin Xuan.

The spiritual energy in the air vibrated, pouring into the Pill Furnace, constantly merging with the Elixir.

Suddenly, the mud Pill Furnace emitted a slight tremor, followed by a low rumble.

Boom!

Although the sound was faint, it was still captured by everyone.

“He failed.

Haha, indeed he failed!” laughed an elder from the Medicine Emperor Institute, his face full of schadenfreude.

He Ming from the He Family also sneered, “To actually delude himself into thinking he could raise the grade of a Fourth-grade Elixir, how naive!”

Others expressed deep sympathy.

“What a pity, that was a Fourth-grade Elixir, even without increasing the grade, it could have dominated the competition!”

“Yeah, too impatient.”

“Hopefully, he won’t let the failure affect his mood…”

Many felt sorry for Lin Xuan.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s failure, Duan Fei immediately cheered up.

For one thing, there wasn’t much time left in the competition, and the feeling of failure would certainly affect Lin Xuan.

“Humph, let’s see what you’re going to do next!”

“Indeed too young, it seems that the first place this time is mine alone!” He Nian revealed an arrogant smile.
