Chapter 367: The Winner is Determined
At the same time, Xue Lichang, who was full of pride on the other side, did not hesitate to raise his hand and opened the lid of the furnace.
In an instant, a strong fragrance of elixir spread out, which made people feel refreshed.
At the bottom of the red furnace, there were ten longan-sized light green pills, round and quietly arranged in a circle, which was very beautiful.
What was amazing was that among these ten "Wen Ning Dan", only one was dark gray, and the rest were almost full of spiritual energy.
In other words, this furnace of primary "Wen Ning Dan", under the refining of senior alchemist Xue Lichang, had a success rate of almost 90%!
And the most shocking thing was that there were three pills that were slightly smaller in size, but the fragrance they exuded was more than twice as strong as the ordinary pills around.
People in the surrounding alchemy holy land could naturally recognize at a glance that these three pills had reached the intermediate quality.
This discovery surprised the people present, and they secretly admired Xue Lichang's level of alchemy.
After all, it is well known that for many alchemists, it is not difficult to refine ordinary pills. Even after years of continuous practice, the probability of success can be slowly improved.
However, the final quality of the pill is the real test of an alchemist's level and experience.
This is because in the process of alchemy, any slight mistake, including the timing of the change of fire, the degree of fusion of medicinal properties, and even the quenching of impurities, can affect the quality of the final pill.
In this way, it is not easy to refine high-quality pills, even for senior alchemists.
It can be seen that Xue Lichang can keep the success rate of pills at 90%, and can also refine three mid-level pills. This kind of alchemy attainment is really amazing, and his title of senior alchemist is well deserved!
Seeing this scene, Duan Xuan couldn't help but sigh slightly, and stopped with a slightly gloomy face, standing alone in the corner of the hall.
As for Duan Han, he took two steps forward and complimented with a smile on his face:
"As an elite of Taiyi Sect's Dan Hall, Fellow Daoist Xue's alchemy skills are really admirable, and he really deserves the title of a senior alchemist!"
Hearing this, Xue Lichang felt comfortable all over, but pretended to be humble and said:
"Hehe! Master Duan, you are too kind! Xue's alchemy attainments are really not worthy of being in the hall of elegance!"
As soon as this was said, Duan Xuan, who was not far away, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and secretly despised him in his heart.
And Xue Lichang and Duan Han, they were chatting and laughing as if no one was around, and they looked confident that they had won.
At the same time, Qin Tian, who had just completed the step of calcining with a big fire, couldn't help but quietly probed out the power of his spiritual consciousness and scanned the red alchemy furnace.
After confirming the number of pills in the red furnace and the quality of the pills, Qin Tian couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly, and he instantly made up his mind.
He suddenly stood up, raised his hands, and made complicated seals towards the low-grade spiritual furnace in front of him. Obviously, he had begun the final stage of condensing the medicine into pills.
However, no one noticed that when Qin Tian made a seal and slapped the furnace, a very faint gray mist was quietly entering the furnace at a very slow speed along the position of his palm.
However, due to the scorching high temperature inside the furnace, and the strong prohibition when the spiritual furnace was closed for alchemy, other people's consciousness could not penetrate and detect except the owner of the furnace.
Therefore, Qin Tian's subtle action did not attract the attention of others.
Even Qinglan Zhenren, who was at the top, was still in a dozing posture, and obviously did not notice anything.
So, when the seal of condensing the pill was completely completed and the rich medicinal fragrance began to spread, the gray mist inside the pill furnace just happened to gather into a complete one!
Until this time, Qin Tian finally put his mind at ease, but on the surface, he still showed a look of worry and loss, as if he was a little lacking in confidence.
Seeing this, Xue Lishang on the opposite side couldn't help but sneer:
"Let's not talk about your alchemy skills for now, but the speed of this pill refining is really slow, which is really the only one I have ever seen in my life!"
After this, even Duan Xuan on the side did not refute it again. After all, Qin Tian's entire pill refining process, under his deliberate control, was indeed far behind Xue Lishang. This is an indisputable fact.
But Qin Tian raised his head slightly, and asked expressionlessly:
"What does a fast pill refining speed mean? Did you become a senior pill refiner by the speed of pill refining?"
Hearing this, Xue Lichang was angry and sneered:
"You sharp-tongued boy, instead of showing off your verbal skills here, you might as well open the pill furnace. Then the winner will be clear at a glance, so that you can lose with conviction!"
While speaking, Xue Lichang seemed extremely confident, and his eyes were full of greed. He looked at the low-grade spiritual tool pill furnace in front of Qin Tian, as if he couldn't wait to take it into his pocket.
After all, from the richness of the pill fragrance emitted from the pill furnace when the pill was condensed, everyone present could roughly judge the quality of the pill.
Just when Xue Lichang condensed the pill, the whole hall was filled with the fragrance of the pill, and finally condensed three medium-grade pills.
But now, although there is a strong elixir fragrance emanating from Qin Tian’s elixir-condensing process, it is obviously much weaker than the strange phenomenon caused by Xue Lishang.
In this way, the people present had the answer in their hearts.
Even Duan Xuan, who was standing aside, looked dejected and began to secretly think about how this matter would end.
As for the Qinglan Zhenren at the top, he slightly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of calmness, as if he was not surprised by this result.
However, at this moment, Qin Tian showed a look of anxiety on his face. He slowly walked to the side of the lower-grade spiritual artifact Dan furnace, then stretched out his right hand and placed it on the lid of the Dan furnace, and quickly opened it!
At this moment, the faint gray mist remaining in the Dan furnace, under Qin Tian's deliberate control, was completely immersed in the inner wall of the Dan furnace, and not a trace of it escaped.
So, as the Dan furnace was opened, a strong Dan fragrance suddenly filled the entire hall.
And the richness of this Dan fragrance was even stronger than the middle-grade "Wen Ning Dan" refined by Xue Lishang just now.
After sensing this situation, the expressions of the people present all changed drastically. Duan Xuan, who was standing in a corner, had an incredible look in his eyes.
Even the Qinglan Master at the top couldn't help but suddenly open his eyes, his eyes were also filled with astonishment.
As for Qin Tian, who was holding the lid of the alchemy furnace, he also showed a "bewildered" look at the right time, as if he was "shocked" and at a loss.
