Chapter 75 made the judges want to vomit blood!
"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has already passed. To be fair, the third round will begin now, with a time limit of three hours. Everyone, let's begin," Dong Chuan said after a moment's thought.
Chu Feng had absolutely no chance of winning in refining the Bone Strengthening Pill. Even thirty hours wouldn't make a difference. Therefore, Xu Yubin and his group had no objections. Besides, extending the time would also be beneficial to them.
Not every alchemist chooses to refine the Bone Strengthening Pill, since most alchemists are only at the second rank.
Therefore, some people choose to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, some refine Rejuvenation Pills, and some alchemists who are more confident in themselves and are at the eighth or ninth level of Foundation Establishment choose to refine Minor Nourishing Essence Pills.
All the alchemists at the Yuan Dan stage have successfully advanced to the third round.
They are Feng Manlou from Fengyue City, Xu Yubin from Tianfu City, Guan Yaoqian from Fenghua City, Song Zhong from Jushi City, and Feng Ziying from Yuyue City.
And Ma San and Qin Xiong of Qindi City, Meng Lingyun of Baoyue City, the rogue cultivator Xi Dedao, and Luo Yulin.
There are a total of ten people.
Including Chu Feng, there are 46 alchemists remaining in the Foundation Establishment stage, bringing the total number of alchemists on the field to 56.
Besides Xu Yubin, Feng Ziying, Song Zhong, and Chu Feng, only Feng Manlou from Fengyue City chose to refine the Bone Strengthening Pill. Feng Manlou was at the second level of the Yuan Dan realm, and among the alchemists participating in the Ten Cities Grand Competition, he had the highest cultivation level.
Most of the other Yuan Dan stage cultivators choose to refine Condensing Elixir, which is less difficult than Bone Strengthening Pill, and the success rate of refining Condensing Elixir is also much higher.
The two independent cultivators, Xi Dedao and Luo Yulin, chose to refine a Grade 3 Lesser Qi-Nourishing Pill.
Generally speaking, independent cultivators are generally weaker than those who have joined a faction because they have difficulty obtaining resources.
Therefore, these two may lack confidence, as refining a Grade 3 Lesser Qi Cultivation Pill is much easier than refining a Condensing Elixir.
Because of the huge bet, everyone had high expectations for the third round, and everyone was focused intently on the competition.
Especially Chu Feng and others who refined the Bone Strengthening Pill.
Xu Yubin, Feng Ziying, and Song Zhong were also unusually cautious because of the bet, and every detail of their alchemy process became much more meticulous than before.
From purifying the medicinal materials to melting, separating, and condensing the pills, they performed each process perfectly. Even the judges on stage kept nodding and praising them highly.
But Chu Feng is a different story.
This guy kept looking at the medicinal herbs over and over, and had no idea what he was doing.
Aren't the medicinal herbs all brought by the alchemists at the Pill Pavilion? How could they possibly be adulterated?
Chu Feng didn't begin preparations until he had checked the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
He still chose to use his own alchemical fire to refine pills.
Chu Feng calmly placed the pill fire into the inlet of the alchemy furnace and began to heat it up.
He only threw in the four medicinal herbs when the temperature of the alchemy furnace reached 1,000 degrees.
The third-grade spiritual herbs are Poria cocos leaf, Iron Bone Orchid, and Lightning-Struck Wood; the second-grade spiritual herb is Moonflower.
To refine the Bone Strengthening Pill, a total of nine medicinal materials are needed: Poria cocos leaves, Iron Bone Orchid, Snake-shaped Fruit, Bone-penetrating Vine, Double-leaved Gourd, Seven-Skill Stone, Green Stone Crystal, Astragalus Fruit, and Lightning-struck Wood.
Chu Feng, however, requested an additional level-two material, Moonflower, and removed the level-three medicinal herb, Snake Fruit.
According to the competition requirements, alchemists can change the materials needed for alchemy; they can ask for more or less.
After all, different alchemists have different lineages, and the medicinal materials required for the same elixir can vary slightly.
Chu Feng still chose nine kinds of medicinal herbs, but he replaced one of the level three herbs with a level two Moonflower.
This move made all the judges shake their heads and sigh. Wen Yixi was also very disappointed. The grade of the medicinal materials had been lowered. How good could the efficacy be?
If it weren't for the competition rules that the medicinal materials provided by the organizers must be provided according to the alchemist's requirements, Wen Yixi would not have planned to change the medicinal materials for Chu Feng.
Some alchemists in the audience also sighed with their heads down, judging from this young man's movements, he was destined to lose!
At this moment, Chu Feng's divine sense was fully released, forming hundreds and thousands of net-like divine sense networks within the alchemy furnace.
The temperature inside the alchemy furnace was gradually isolated by Chu Feng.
Meanwhile, the four medicinal herbs were continuously thrown into different divine thought networks for refining. The Moonflower was thrown into the lowest temperature area by Chu Feng to begin refining.
With each breath, Chu Feng would throw the four kinds of medicinal herbs into different areas.
"How strange! What kind of alchemy is this? Can it be done like this? What's the point of this kid playing around like this? With such a large amount of divine sense being used, can this kid last until the end?" One of the judges stood up.
"This method of alchemy is truly unheard of and unseen! Just who is this kid's master?" Dong Chuan's expression was also solemn.
A group of alchemists of the fourth or fifth rank were actually astonished by Chu Feng.
The crowd below the platform was speechless. Was he refining elixirs or putting on a circus act? Even mortals' circus acts weren't this complicated.
Both Poria cocos leaves and moonflower are medicinal herbs that can be melted at low temperatures. However, everyone discovered that even after the lightning-struck wood and iron-boned orchid had melted into liquid, the Poria cocos leaves and moonflower had not completely melted.
What's going on here?
At this moment, the temperature inside the alchemy furnace had already reached over ten thousand degrees!
Chu Feng's divine sense network was shattered in countless layers. Every time some of the divine sense network was shattered, Chu Feng immediately released new divine sense to form a new divine sense network.
At this moment, experts in the Nascent Soul stage could see that the Lightning-Struck Wood and Iron Bone Orchid were still being baked by Chu Feng with high temperature. At the same time, Chu Feng would incorporate the aura dispersed from the Poria Cocos Leaf and the Moonlit Flower into them.
Under the protection of Chu Feng's divine sense network, the two auras were easily and perfectly integrated.
At this moment, Chu Feng threw the Bone-Penetrating Vine, Astragalus Fruit, Double-Leaf Gourd, Blue Stone Crystal, and Seven-Skill Stone into five Divine Sense Nets and roasted and refined them at different temperatures.
Different medicinal herbs are thrown into different spiritual networks for extraction, and the temperature is different at every point where the herbs come into contact with the temperature!
Wen Yixi slowly said, "Master Chu's alchemy has reached a realm that is both profound and wondrous! It is beyond our reach!"
Dong Chuan's expression showed a hint of confusion: "Could it be that we were all wrong? What kind of alchemy technique is this?"
After saying that, Dong Chuan coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
The judges all closed their eyes and stopped watching Chu Feng refine pills. This technique was beyond their comprehension, and watching any longer might affect their Dao hearts!
The lower-level alchemists below the platform didn't seem to notice anything; they only knew that Chu Feng was putting on a show.
I don't understand it at all.
Only cultivators at the late stage of the Void God realm can discover the profound mysteries of Chu Feng's alchemy.
Hong Pingbao dared not watch any longer. This method of alchemy had a great impact on him as well.
The higher a cultivator's realm, the greater the impact; for those with lower realms, it's like watching a circus act, with no effect whatsoever.
Just look at Dong Chuan coughing up blood, and you'll know!
