Only Lu Chen himself knew that this was the first time he used the alchemy furnace to dissolve the elixir without using utensils, so the speed was much slower.
However, fortunately, this was not his first time refining an eighth-grade elixir, so he made steady steps without making any mistakes.
What's more, the refining difficulty of this Poison-Reducing Pill is not as difficult as that of the E-Elixir. When Lu Chen was refining it, although his technique was unfamiliar, he was able to dissolve more than a dozen ingredients into spiritual liquid one by one.
By this time, a full two hours had passed.
During this time, Qianyuan and Li Tiangang had already dissolved various preparations.
However, they also consumed a lot of spiritual power and began to swallow pills and refine spiritual crystals to replenish their spiritual power.
Because the next step is to dissolve the three main medicines: Tiancanmu, Blood Ganoderma, and Pure Yangshui. If the spiritual power is insufficient, it will fail if you are not careful.
Moreover, the prepared medicine has been dissolved into spiritual liquid, which has a variety of attribute powers. During the process of dissolving the main medicine, if the attributes are mutually exclusive, the result will be in vain.
After returning to their peak state, Qian Yuan and Li Tiangang looked at each other. The latter snorted softly, took a deep breath and concentrated, took out the residual wood and put it into the alchemy furnace.
The furnace suddenly glowed with spiritual light, and spiritual lines continued to swim, presenting a beautiful scene.
The dense medicinal fragrance fills the air and is intoxicating.
"Refining."
Li Tiangang uttered a word and exerted his spiritual power. The flames under the black cauldron suddenly burned brightly, and the images on all sides also burst into flames. The alien beasts depicted appeared clearly, as if a beast roared.
Li Tiangang's face was slightly happy when he saw this.
At the same time, Qianyuan also began to invest in the main medicine; however, unlike Li Tiangang who chose to invest in Tiancanmu, he chose Blood Ganoderma.
Tiancanmu is a yin elixir with cold properties. Although Xue Ganoderma is also a yin elixir, it contains blood energy and has more hot properties.
As soon as he put the Blood Ganoderma into the green cauldron, there was a hissing sound, and a ball of blood light spread out, and a strong medicinal fragrance swept out.
Everyone was slightly confused when they saw this, wondering why Qianyuan and Li Tiangang made different choices?
After a while, the green cauldron suddenly started to vibrate, making a roaring sound, as if it was about to explode.
This surprised everyone. Could it be that Qianyuan was going to fail?
Cheng Buqi's eyes flashed, and he said leisurely: "Ling Xudu, your disciple is very courageous. Blood Ganoderma has strong medicinal properties and is not afraid of exploding the furnace."
Ling Xudu laughed when he heard this, stroking his beard and said: "Although it is a bit risky, once the Blood Ganoderma is fused with other medicinal liquids, it will be much easier to fuse Tiancanmu or Pure Yang Water."
After a pause, the old fox continued: "Cheng Buqi, although your disciple's refining method is more reliable, don't forget that the attributes of Tiancanmu and Blood Ganoderma are mutually exclusive."
"Humph, I believe that this disciple will have a solution." Cheng Buqi's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he snorted.
"Really?" Ling Xudu showed a half-smiling expression.
As for Lu Chen, they didn't pay too much attention, because up to now, Lu Chen had just dissolved the medicine and was now recovering his spiritual power.
This is what makes Lu Chen depressed, because he has experience in refining eighth-grade elixirs and knows that the consumption of spiritual power is extremely serious, so he has to quickly replenish his spiritual power and prepare the elixirs.
The only good thing is that the spiritual energy consumed in refining the poison-reducing pill is not as much as the spiritual energy consumed in refining the poison-reducing pill.
But even so, Lu Chen was still cautious.
At the same time, he also saw Li Tiangang and Qian Yuan investing in Tiancanmu and Blood Ganoderma respectively; based on Lu Chen's experience in alchemy, it was obvious that Li Tiangang chose a safer method, while Qian Yuan chose a more adventurous method.
.
It is impossible to say which one of these two methods is right or wrong, but Li Tiangang started with the easy stuff first and then the harder stuff, and it will only get harder as he goes to the later stages. Qianyuan chose to start with the tough stuff first and then the easier stuff, so the success rate is actually higher.
The black cauldron in front of Li Tiangang was stable, and the green cauldron in front of Qianyuan kept rumbling, making many people who didn't understand alchemy think Qianyuan was going to fail.
Even some alchemists don't know the reason for this; because they have not yet reached the level of eighth-grade alchemists, they cannot see Qianyuan's intention.
As for Lu Chen, apart from an occasional glance or two, they would not look at him much; because they did not think Lu Chen had any chance of defeating Qian Yuan or Li Tiangang.
The young generation of Zhongzhou, the number one person in the alchemy world, will only be born between Qianyuan and Li Tiangang.
The green cauldron kept ringing in front of Qian Yuan, and they even preferred Li Tiangang.
This also made Li Tiangang even more proud; however, he was now faced with a dilemma. Should he choose dissolved blood Ganoderma lucidum or pure Yang water?
Blood Ganoderma is cold in nature, while Pure Yang Water is warm in nature.
After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Li Tiangang chose pure yang water; because the current spiritual liquid contains the power of Tiancanmu, which is already biased towards negative, refining the blood ganoderma first will only aggravate the spiritual liquid.
The power of Yin attribute cannot be suppressed by the power of pure Yang water.
Therefore, he chose to first use pure yang water to dissolve the yin power of the spiritual liquid, and finally dissolve the blood ganoderma.
He poured the golden pure Yang water into the alchemy furnace, and two rays of light, one black and one gold, immediately emitted, exuding alternating hot and cold auras, hovering above the black cauldron, making a sharp sound.
Li Tiangang was slightly startled when he saw this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly used his spiritual power to penetrate into the alchemy furnace, neutralizing the power of the spiritual fluid in the alchemy furnace.
It was not easy to balance it out, which made Li Tiangang happy.
However, when he looked at Qianyuan, he snorted coldly, because Qianyuan had also stabilized the spiritual liquid in the Qingding, but his face was a little pale; after taking a lot of pills, he
Tiancanmu put in.
There was no trace of sloppiness, as if he was extremely confident in his choice.
Ling Xudu glanced at Cheng Buqi, who had a gloomy expression next to him, and nodded slightly, showing a satisfied look.
"It's not certain who will win or lose." Cheng Buqi hummed.
Ling Xudu smiled disapprovingly and said nothing more.
"Hey, look, how did Lu Jie dissolve the pure Yang water first?"
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, and it was Zhu Daoji.
As the only seventh-grade alchemist in Tianjian Sect, he still has some vision. However, he still stopped here and failed to step into the ranks of eighth-grade alchemists, so he couldn't understand what Lu Chen did.
Of course, not only him, but also other people who saw this scene didn't understand, especially those alchemists in Lingxu Valley. They felt that Lu Jie was a madman; in other words, he didn't know how to make alchemy at all!
When the two old foxes Cheng Buqi and Ling Xudu saw this scene, they also showed a hint of shock; because even if they were refining the Poison God Pill, they would not choose to dissolve the pure Yang water first.
Pure yang water is the elixir with the strongest yang attribute power among the yang attribute elixirs. It can weaken all the yin attribute powers in the world. This is why the word "pure yang" comes from.
Therefore, neither Qianyuan nor Li Tiangang chose to refine the main medicine of pure yang water first.
But Lu Chen did this, so what elixir would he use to balance the Tiancanmu and Blood Ganoderma?
You must know that Tiancanmu is cold in nature and Blood Ganoderma is cold in nature. They are both yin-type elixirs. If you do not use yang-type elixirs to balance the power between the two, there is a high risk of the spirit liquid melting.
"idiot."
Li Tiangang showed disdain when he saw this.
Qianyuan frowned slightly, but did not speak. Seeing that Lu Chen was extremely calm, he was confused. Is there any other way for him to solve the problem of the fusion of Tiancanmu and Blood Ganoderma?
"Buzz", when Lu Chen poured the pure Yang water into the alchemy furnace, a large piece of golden light bloomed. From a distance, it looked like a sun, emitting blazing brilliance.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen rays of light of different colors shot up, like swimming fish circling over the alchemy furnace.
After a while, it calmed down and returned to the alchemy furnace.
This made everyone look surprised. Ling Xudu and Cheng Buqi looked at each other with a hint of surprise. They suddenly thought of some possibility and were shocked. The eyes they looked at Lu Chen were different from before.
At this moment, everyone was attracted by another scene, and saw the alchemy furnace in front of Li Tiangang suddenly making a violent noise, with as many as twenty arcs of light flying and crackling.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked curiously, wondering why Li Tiangang, who had been refining elixirs steadily, would be in this situation?
Ling Xudu showed an expression of "Sure enough".
Cheng Buqi's face suddenly sank, and he looked at his disciple Li Tiangang who was sweating profusely, showing a hint of nervousness.
As Ling Xudu had previously expected, Li Tiangang used pure Yang water to balance the medicinal properties of Tiancanmu, but when refining the last main medicine, Blood Ganoderma, something went wrong.
Blood Ganoderma is cold in nature, and when put into the alchemy furnace, it fuses with the spiritual fluids of various elixirs, and immediately produces a large amount of blood mist, which comes out steaming, causing the black cauldron to make a loud noise.
Therefore, without the balance of Yang attribute power, the power emitted by Blood Ganoderma could not be controlled at all, so Li Tiangang had to pour in spiritual power to weaken this blood power.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the Blood Ganoderma was refined into spiritual fluid, it would emit a hot breath, as if a ball of flame was burning.
Seeing this, Li Tiangang was so anxious that he was covered in sweat and his face turned pale.
"Damn."
This made Li Tiangang's face become gloomier than ever before, and he hurriedly used his spiritual power to pour it into the black cauldron, forcibly suppressing the power of the blood Ganoderma lucidum.
The hot flames gradually subsided, and the hot breath slowly dissipated.
"It's done."
Li Tiangang was overjoyed when he saw this. He clenched his fists and looked excited. He hurriedly closed the top cover to reduce the input of spiritual power and quietly waited for the elixir to be completed.
"good."
Cheng Buqi laughed heartily when he saw this, and he was full of praise for Li Tiangang, his disciple.
He lost to Ling Xudu and felt humiliated, but if his apprentice could defeat Ling Xudu's disciple Qianyuan, it would also be a victory.
"Haha, congratulations to Brother Cheng for finding such a good disciple." Ling Xudu said with a smile, but his smile was extremely forced, as if he didn't mean what he said.
Cheng Buqi was even more happy to see this and felt a strong breath of anger coming out of his mouth.
Ling Xudu's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned his attention to Qianyuan. Now he could only hope that Qianyuan could refine the poison-reducing pill.
Qianyuan was surprised when he saw Li Tiangang starting the last step of combining pills, but he quickly recovered his mood and put the last main medicine, Tiancanmu, into the Qingding.
Black light lingered, and a cold aura emanated, but it was covered up by the golden light, causing the entire Qingding not to make the slightest sound.
Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and continued to input spiritual power to completely refine the Tiancanmu.
But at this time, the green cauldron started to ring, the buzzing sound was endless, and black light shot out from time to time.
Everyone let out a soft cry when they saw this, and as Qianyuan's master, Ling Xudu became nervous.
