Yu Nan looked at Yu Shijie and snorted contemptuously.
…
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people in the square, and most people have entered the stone gate.
"You two, you can leave." The two disciples said to Fang Yu and Lin Batian.
Fang Yu and Lin Batian slowly walked into the stone gate.
"I miss you, Holy Lord Tyrant, how many years have I been punished by standing still? What a rare experience." Lin Batian looked up to the sky and said with emotion.
"You brought it upon yourself and dragged me into the water, so stop complaining," Fang Yu said.
The two of them walked to the corner of a mountain road ahead, where Qin Lang was waiting for them.
"Ahead is the main hall where the alchemy conference is held. Let's go there." Qin Lang said.
The three of them walked together and soon arrived at the main hall.
This is an ancient tower that covers a large area, and the main hall is on the first floor of the tower.
Due to the difficulty they had just made, Fang Yu and his party were the last ones to come to the main hall.
At this time, there was a dense crowd of people standing inside the hall.
In front of everyone is a high platform made of stone.
There were more than twenty people standing on the high platform.
These people all looked to be in their fifties or sixties. Most of them wore black square hats and held a small stove the size of a human face in their hands.
"Welcome to the alchemy conference. There are a total of twenty-nine alchemists participating in this alchemy conference... This is the largest number of alchemists in the past three years. This time, the alchemists will show everyone their latest achievements...
..." On the stage, the Seventh Elder, who had met before, used his Qi to amplify his voice and said.
"What is the main purpose of the alchemy conference?" Fang Yu asked Qin Lang beside him.
"Each alchemist will display the elixirs they have made, and then if anyone in the audience is interested, they can place an order on the spot and purchase the elixirs in bulk." Qin Lang said, "In fact, it is almost the same as a product display."
"Oh." Fang Yu nodded.
"These are the so-called alchemists?" Lin Batian asked in surprise.
"Well, they should be the alchemists who participated in this alchemy conference and were responsible for the presentation." Qin Lang was greeted.
"Uh..." Lin Batian opened his mouth and looked at Fang Yu.
"Don't make such a fuss, there is a pretty good profession called Alchemist now," Fang Yu said.
"But these people don't have a trace of alchemy furnace breath in their bodies, and they must not have cultivated alchemy fire. Also, the furnaces in their hands are as small as rice bowls... Isn't this too outrageous?" Lin Batian said.
Fang Yu said nothing.
Indeed, none of the people standing on the high platform could be considered an alchemist two thousand years ago.
But in today's era, spiritual energy is thin and martial arts is declining, so we can't expect too much.
Fang Yu is interested to see what level of elixirs the current alchemists can produce.
Qin Lang looked embarrassed when he heard Lin Batian's evaluation of the alchemists on the stage.
You know, alchemists have a very high status in the martial arts world, and most martial artists respect alchemists.
Because, very few people can master the art of alchemy.
But in Lin Batian's words, the group of alchemists on the stage were as ridiculous as clowns.
After thinking for a while, Qin Lang said: "Mr. Lin, in fact, these people on the stage are not the top alchemists."
"Look, let me tell you, there must be more powerful ones. How can these people on the stage be considered alchemists?" Lin Batian smiled at Fang Yu.
"The top alchemist comes from the alchemy lineage of Wancaomen. According to previous statements, they should send an alchemy elder to the stage to demonstrate later." Qin Lang said.
"... Next, we invite Elder Yuqing from our alchemy lineage to come on stage!" The seventh elder on the stage shouted loudly.
The audience burst into warm applause.
"Elder Yuqing! I heard he is very young, less than fifty years old!"
"You can become an elder of the alchemy lineage at only fifty years old!?"
"Yes, I heard that his alchemy talent is quite amazing..."
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
On the high platform, an old man wearing a green robe and a long flowing beard walked up to the crowd.
Like other alchemists, he wears a square hat and holds a stove.
Lin Batian was greatly disappointed when he saw this man.
"Is this the top alchemist? Apart from a hint of alchemy, he is no different from the others on the stage." Lin Batian looked at Qin Lang and said.
Qin Lang touched his forehead and said: "Mr. Lin, please continue reading. The strength of Wancaomen's Dandao lineage is recognized as the strongest in China..."
"Don't look at things now with the same eyes as before, otherwise you will be surprised twenty-four hours a day." Fang Yu said.
"Okay, from now on, I will try to speak as little as possible." Lin Batian said.
After Elder Yuqing came out, the alchemy conference officially began.
On both sides of the main hall, there were many disciples from the Wancao Sect, some of whom were from the lineage of medicine and some from the lineage of alchemy.
There are not many opportunities to see the elders of the alchemy lineage making alchemy with their own eyes. They are all here to learn.
Yang Chuyu and Ke'er were also standing among this group of disciples.
"Senior Sister Yang Yang is Elder Yuqing! The Huiling Pill he developed and refined was one of the most popular pills in the pill market last year! It is said that many elders in the sect asked him to buy it, but they couldn't buy it!" Ke'er
Said excitedly.
"Well, I know." Yang Chuyu said.
"Will he show the process of refining the Spiritual Recovery Pill today?" Ke'er asked.
"It's impossible. With so many alchemists present, there's no guarantee that they won't be imitated." Yang Chuyu shook his head gently and said.
"Then what will he show? I'm really looking forward to it," Kerr said.
On the second floor of the main hall, several elders were also looking at the high platform.
For Wancao Sect, the alchemy path receives far more attention than the medicine path.
"Next, Elder Yuqing will take the lead and demonstrate the process of refining the small spirit-gathering pill!" the seventh elder announced.
After hearing his words, many people who knew alchemy looked disappointed.
Xiao Ling Gathering Pill is the most common kind of elixir, and the refining method can be understood by any alchemist.
Elder Yuqing saw the reaction of everyone in the audience and smiled contemptuously.
What he wants to refine is not an ordinary Little Spirit-Gathering Pill, but a top-grade Little Spirit-Gathering Pill!
"Quiet." Elder Yuqing said two words.
The originally noisy main hall immediately fell silent.
Elder Yuqing gently clapped the small stove in his hand.
The stove flew directly in front of him and floated in mid-air.
Elder Yuqing moved his right hand slightly, and several medicinal materials appeared in his hand, and he threw them all into the furnace.
Then, he stretched his left hand forward, with his palm facing the bottom of the small stove.
"Wow!"
A blue flame lit up in the palm of his left palm!
"Wow……"
There was a burst of exclamations in the hall.
Pill fire!
This is elixir fire!
Using the elixir fire of one's own cultivation to make elixirs is the highest state of an alchemist!
The elixir refined in this way will definitely not be ordinary!
At this moment, everyone present felt like they had been slapped in the face.
I originally thought that Elder Yuqing's refining of the Little Spirit Gathering Pill was of little interest.
But the elixir fire that suddenly ignited left them stunned!
The alchemists on the stage looked at Elder Yuqing, their faces were not only shocked but also filled with immense admiration.
This is the foundation of Wancaomen’s alchemy lineage!
Any elder can cast elixir fire!
Only alchemists like them understand how difficult it is to practice alchemy!
Not long after the elixir fire was ignited, Elder Yuqing shook his right hand, and a lid appeared above the small medicine stove.
Elder Yuqing's face was serious, his left hand moved slightly, and the elixir fire burned along the periphery of the small medicine stove.
After remaining like this for more than ten seconds, Elder Yuqing's left hand shook violently.
The small medicine stove shuddered.
The elixir fire in Elder Yuqing's hand went out.
He held the small medicine stove with one hand, looked at the dull faces below, and said: "The small spirit-gathering pill has been made."
So fast!?
The audience burst into exclamations again.
Although Xiao Ling Gathering Pill is the most common elixir, refining it also takes a certain amount of time, at least fifteen minutes.
But Elder Yuqing only took less than a minute!
This is the top alchemist!
Elder Yuqing opened the lid of the medicine stove.
A burst of medicinal fragrance began to spread from the high platform and floated into the noses of everyone in the audience.
"It's just a small spirit-gathering pill, but it actually has such a medicinal fragrance. Its quality must be very high..." said some disciples of the Medicine Dao.
"That's right, this is a top-grade Xiao Ling Gathering Pill." Elder Yuqing touched his beard on his chin and said with a smile.
Top grade elixir!?
It only took less than a minute to refine!?
Both on stage and off stage, everyone was in a state of extreme shock.
Lin Batian looked at the shocked looks of everyone around him, gritted his teeth, but couldn't hold it back and laughed.
The surroundings were quiet at this time, and his laughter was particularly obvious.
Everyone in the entire hall looked in the direction of the source of the laughter.
