Of course, while looking directly at Ye Chen, Lin Jingnian did not think that the other party could beat him.
After all, he has been immersed in the art of alchemy for decades.
The spiritual fire on his body was one rank higher than Ye Chen's.
On the other hand, look at Ye Chen!
Only in his early twenties!
No matter how talented you are in refining medicine, your achievements in refining medicine in such a short period of time cannot be that high.
You must know that alchemy is an extremely complex skill, and the amount of knowledge involved is extremely profound and broad.
Just memorizing the efficacy and properties of various medicinal materials is enough for a highly talented alchemist to spend more than ten years of hard work.
Therefore, even if he admitted that he had underestimated Ye Chen before, he did not think that the other party had a chance to beat him.
Besides him, others naturally thought of this.
"Although this kid has some arrogance, he still doesn't look good enough!"
"That's right, no matter in terms of qualifications or spiritual fire, he can't compare with Master Lin!"
"Let's wait and see what quality of Qi and Blood Pill he can refine in the end!"
Because the spiritual fire displayed by Ye Chen was so shocking, people who originally dismissed him gradually changed their views.
At least, he no longer treats him as a clown like before.
In fact, some of them have secretly decided to find an opportunity to have a good relationship with Ye Chen once the competition is over.
After all, for an alchemist who has the twelfth fire in the spiritual fire rankings, no matter how bad his alchemy skills are, he will definitely not be much worse.
Coupled with the fact that he is still young, his achievements in the future are bound to be limitless.
Even if you lose this medicine refining competition, it’s not a shame!
Building a good relationship with them now will definitely be beneficial to everyone without any harm.
However, when they saw Ye Chen's next refining method, everyone who was originally full of expectations was instantly dumbfounded.
After Ye Chen preheated the cauldron, he did not throw the medicinal materials into the cauldron one by one to refine them into liquid medicine like other alchemists, but directly filled the cauldron with water.
After the water boiled, all the medicinal materials for refining the Qi and Blood Pill were thrown into the boiling water.
"What is he doing?"
"It's not like you're messing around with making medicine, right?"
"Could it be that he doesn't even know the most basic steps of refining medicine?"
"That shouldn't be the case. He is the twelfth-ranked Ghost Green Fire in the Spiritual Fire Rankings!"
"But why did he make a mistake in the first step?"
"Could it be that the ghostly green fire in his body was just fused by chance, and he himself knows nothing about alchemy?"
"It's totally possible!"
"The alchemist profession often depends on talent. Without talent, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain.
On the contrary, as long as his talent is high enough, he may be able to do what many alchemists have worked hard for ten years in one year!"
"Then this Ye Chen should be one of the darlings of God!"
"Oh, it's such a pity that the ghostly green fire fell on a person who knows nothing about alchemy. What a waste of resources!"
After seeing Ye Chen's refining method, many people began to lament and lament.
Even Lin Jingnian, who had looked at Ye Chen with admiration just now, shook his head in disappointment, "The world is so big, and there are indeed so many strange people!"
Like everyone else, he also felt that Ye Chen must have been born with a talent for refining medicine, and then he was unlucky, so he accidentally fused with the ghostly green fire that ranked twelfth on the spiritual fire rankings.
However, he doesn't even know the most basic steps of refining medicine.
Perhaps the reason why I signed up to participate in this medicine refining competition was simply to show off the ghostly green fire.
Since you don't even understand the most basic steps of refining medicine, it's almost self-evident what the next result will be.
It will definitely end in failure!
Then he becomes the laughing stock of everyone.
However, when seeing Ye Chen's next achievements, not only Lin Jingnian but also everyone's understanding was overturned again.
I saw that Ye Chen's refining method, which seemed to be like boiling medicine, not only did not end in failure, but also achieved unexpected miraculous results.
Ye Chen first boiled the medicinal materials into a soup, and then fished out the impurities with a smile.
It wasn't until the impurities in the medicinal soup were removed that Ye Chen increased the firepower and began to evaporate the water in the soup.
As a result, when the water evaporated to a certain extent, the medicinal soup gradually thickened, and finally merged into the elixir, what appeared in front of everyone was a prototype of the elixir that looked crystal clear without any impurities.
"He actually succeeded?"
"This can also transition to the third step of fusion into elixir. Am I not hallucinating?"
“Absolutely amazing!”
"The most important thing is that the prototype of the elixir he fused into does not contain any impurities, and its purity is countless times higher than when Master Lin refined it just now!"
"If he succeeds in the end, his quality will be unimaginably high!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a strange refining method!"
"I thought he was fooling around, but I didn't expect that he was going off the rails!"
"I heard that he is from the Southern Territory. Could it be that the alchemists from the Southern Territory have developed a new method of refining medicine?"
"Probably not. I also have some friends in the Southern Region, but I have never heard of such a strange method of refining medicine!"
The most shocked person was Lin Jingnian.
Looking at the prototype of the elixir in Ye Chen's cauldron, his expression changed again and again.
At the beginning, he was extremely angry.
Because this alternative method of refining medicine is simply a blasphemy against traditional medicine refining techniques, it must be severely punished to avoid misleading other alchemists.
But as the elixir in Ye Chen's cauldron entered the warm-up step, he realized that maybe he was too conservative.
All kinds of skills in the world are completed through countless drills and practices.
Alchemy is no exception!
The reason why they never doubt the traditional refining steps and methods is just because they subconsciously feel that the refining steps are the conclusions reached by their ancestors after countless attempts and practices. They are absolutely infallible and cannot be questioned by anyone.
.
If there is, it must be heresy and a blasphemy against traditional refining methods.
However, the elixirs that Ye Chen refined at this moment have all entered the warming and curing step, and there are still no errors.
This proves that Ye Chen's shortcut refining method is not just a fool's errand, but is actually more efficient and incisive.
"A genius, he is simply an unparalleled genius in the world of medicine refining!"
The longer he watched, the more deeply shocked Lin Jingnian was.
Because only the warming process was completed, the quality of the Qi and Blood Pill in Ye Chen's cauldron had already reached the Xuan level.
His quality is comparable to that of his successful soul-casting!
Because before it is warmed and cured, its quality is only holy-level mid-grade.
It wasn't until the soul was successfully cast that the quality was qualitatively sublimated, reaching the level of Xuan-level low-grade.
He is now more certain that Ye Chen's refining method is not only correct, but has actually created a brand new method of refining medicine.
This is a revolutionary innovation!
If it can be popularized, Ye Chen will definitely become a famous person in the history of medicine refining, and will be remembered and praised by countless future generations.
"Tsk, tsk, just after the warm-up is completed, it has already reached the Xuan level. It's incredible!"
"I thought he was a clown trying to please people, but I didn't expect him to be a wizard in refining medicine. I really made a mistake!"
"Even if he stops now, the quality is still the same as the one refined by Master Lin!"
“I can’t imagine how high the quality can reach if the soul is successfully recast like this!”
"What I'm most looking forward to is what terrible visions of heaven and earth will be triggered after the soul is successfully cast!"
