With a flick of his finger, the lid of the medicine cauldron flew open, and a green rainbow light shot out from the medicine cauldron and then automatically fell into Ye Chen's hands.
If he succeeded in refining it again, that means he succeeded three times out of five. It seems that he can be considered a qualified fifth-grade alchemist.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chen slightly recovered his Dou Qi, then he exhaled a long breath and muttered to himself, "With my current alchemy skills, the success rate of refining low-level fifth-grade pills is quite good. As for intermediate fifth-grade pills, it's probably a little lower, but it's still acceptable. It's certainly much better than some ordinary alchemists who have just entered the fifth grade, but this is still not enough..."
It is obviously impossible to stand out from this Alchemist Conference and win the championship with just a fifth-grade intermediate pill.
According to the information Ye Chen got from Fang Yu, the top three in this Alchemist Conference are likely to be fifth-grade alchemists. To win the championship, one must at least be able to refine fifth-grade high-level or even fifth-grade peak elixirs to have some guarantee...
"Fifth-grade peak..."
Even Ye Chen's expression turned serious. Although he was confident that he could quickly improve his alchemist level, he didn't have much time left.
"Looks like I can only follow the previous plan and cheat a little..."
Although this would seem a bit unfair, Ye Chen couldn't care less for the sake of the meteorite stone.
With this thought in mind, Ye Chen grabbed a jade box filled with medicinal herbs and pulled it over. With a wave of his hand, the herbs inside suddenly floated up, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled his nose...
Ye Chen let out a light breath, snapped his fingers, and the medicinal materials flew into the medicine cauldron. As his hand seals changed, the silver flame inside the medicine cauldron burned fiercely again.
Yiling Pill is a fifth-grade top-level elixir. When taken by a Douling strongman, it can directly improve his realm by one star. Each person can only take it once in his lifetime.
This is one of the pill recipes passed down to Ye Chen by Ye Xun, the ancestor of the Ye family. It is not one of the Ye family's secret pill recipe series. It is said to be the reward for Ye Xun's alchemy for others in his early years.
Among all types of elixirs, this type of elixir that can directly enhance the strength of the user is the highest level, and of course it is also the most difficult to refine.
It can be said that Ye Chen was really determined this time for those ten meteorite stones!
"I only have five ingredients for the Yiling Pill. If I still can't succeed after three attempts, I'll have to try another pill..."
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but perk up his spirit again, his soul power locked onto the medicinal herbs that were being roasted by the sparks.
As the medicinal herbs gradually withered, fine, emerald-green water droplets began to seep out from the surface of the herbs, and finally slid down along the surface, suspended above the flames, and kept rolling around.
After obtaining the Star Essence Map, the temperature of the sparks increased again. In Ye Chen's opinion, it was already no less than many seventh-level beast fires. Perhaps after a period of growth, it would be comparable to those ranked lower on the Strange Fire List...
Of course, with Ye Chen's precise control, the silver flame in the medicine cauldron looks fierce, but it will not directly burn the medicinal materials into ashes.
With the continuous burning of the flames and the penetration of the emerald green water droplets, the medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron completely turned into a withered gray. At this time, the pure medicinal power contained in them had been forced out by the flames, and the medicinal materials themselves had completely turned into a pile of useless waste.
With a slight wave of his hand, the withered herbs flew out of the medicine cauldron and finally fell to the ground beside it. The moment they hit the ground, they turned into a pile of gray ashes and scattered with the wind.
Although this series of steps looks simple, they all require strong soul control and fire control to support them. The reason why Ye Chen is so proficient is also due to his previous practice.
Of course, this is just the extraction of the first medicinal ingredient.
As a fifth-grade top-level elixir, Yi Lingdan requires more than ten kinds of medicinal materials to be refined, so the real test will begin next!
…
…
On the other side of the courtyard, inside a room.
Hu Tian felt the constant changes in energy coming from afar, and knew that his young master's alchemy was on the right track.
Moreover, because a large number of alchemists gathered in Xuantian City at that time, this kind of alchemy caused quite a lot of noise, and not many people paid attention to it.
After seeing this, Hu Tian began to retreat and break through with peace of mind.
In a cave dozens of miles outside Xuantian City, because the breakthrough to the Dou Zong level would definitely cause a huge noise, Hu Tian chose the breakthrough location outside the city.
He took out a jade bottle, which contained the Xuanyang Pozong Dan that Ye Chen had given him before. He pulled out the cork and poured it into his mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth, and in an instant, the surging medicinal power burst out, gradually spreading throughout the body and entering the large and small meridians throughout the body.
A mysterious feeling came from deep within every cell in Hu Tian's body, spreading all the way to his soul, pulling his mind into a mysterious state.
Once one steps into the Dou Zong realm, he or she can enter the ranks of the true strong men on the continent. At the same time, it will also initiate the first step in the qualitative change of the human body, which will greatly extend the life span of the person, enhance the control over the energy of heaven and earth, and even enable one to master the power of space.
As the energy was poured in, the powerful thunder-attributed Dou Qi in Hu Tian's body began to circulate autonomously according to the exercises, running through the whole body at a speed far exceeding that of the past, accompanied by the surging medicinal power, and then directly transformed into pure Dou Qi and rushed into the Dantian.
Such a huge amount of Dou Qi rushed into Dantian, and then after a strange centrifugal force released it, it immediately spread through the meridians to every part of Hu Tian's body, making his entire body wrapped in a layer of dense silver electric light...
The silver electric light penetrated his flesh, bones, and cells... and integrated into his body in a unique way, transforming his body and finally causing earth-shaking changes!
Time passes day by day.
Ye Chen and his servant, one was deeply immersed in refining medicine and couldn't extricate himself, while the other was also making breakthroughs in cultivation and making good progress, and they didn't care about the outside world at all.
In a flash, ten days have passed and there are only five days left until the conference.
The room that serves as Ye Chen's temporary alchemy room.
A red beam of light as thick as a bucket suddenly broke through the roof, rushed into the sky, and then quickly dissipated.
This change directly alarmed the entire Xuantian City...
The ancestors of the Song and Lu families, who were originally discussing matters related to the conference, suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at the disappearing light column in the sky outside the door.
"Huh? Old Monster Song, looking at this noise, it's probably the sound of a fifth-grade elixir coming into the world, right?" Lu Chen, the ancestor of the Lu family, who was wearing an alchemist's robe, asked his old friend in surprise.
Opposite him, an old man also dressed in an alchemist's robe, Song Lian, the ancestor of the Song family, nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Not bad, and it should be at least a fifth-grade intermediate elixir. Old Ghost Lu, it seems that this Xuantian City conference has attracted quite a few people with potential..."
