People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

During these five days of competition, there were indeed a few alchemists who successfully refined pills.

However, the moment they saw the pill take shape, they knew that their journey in this event was about to end.

Because it is well known that the refining of high-level elixirs takes longer, and the elixirs they refine...

This basically means that they can only play the bottom role in this fierce competition.

The audience's attention did not stay on the few people who successfully refined the elixir for long.

Most of the eyes were focused on Cao Ying, Dan Chen and those famous alchemy masters.

Xiao Ling, who occupied the most prominent position in this alchemy meeting, undoubtedly became the focus of the most attention...

These spectators know in their hearts that what really determines the excitement of this Dan Conference is the competition between these seeded players.

Every operation and every refinement they made touched the hearts of everyone present.

……

During these five days, which were neither long nor short, Xiao Ling was completely immersed in the process of extracting medicinal materials. The whole process was like flowing water without any mistakes.

Although the number of medicinal materials required for extraction was so large that one could hardly see the end at a glance, Xiao Ling, with his full concentration and powerful soul power, performed every step almost perfectly.

His technique was skillful and precise. Every extraction was like an artist's meticulous carving, showing his elegance and grace, which made all the spectators marvel at his skill.

With the last drop of liquid medicine extracted, the next step is to skillfully blend the refined liquid medicines together, calcine them into the prototype of the elixir, and finally make the elixir.
This process is extremely demanding and any slight mistake may result in all previous efforts being wasted.

In such a fleeting moment of free time, Xiao Ling's gaze quickly swept over and turned to Cao Ying, Dan Chen and others in the distance.

Their expressions at this moment were equally serious and focused, and each of them was carefully controlling the flame in the medicine cauldron.

In the flickering flames, one could vaguely sense a strong wave of energy, spreading out from the inside of the medicine cauldron like a tide...

From the energy fluctuations emanating from their medicine cauldrons, one can clearly sense that the quality of the pills they are refining is by no means ordinary.

However, Xiao Ling only needed to make a casual inspection to see through their essence. Although these pills were extraordinary, they had not yet reached the eighth grade, five-color level.

Compared to the eighth-grade nine-color reincarnation soul-shaping pill that Xiao Ling is about to refine, even if these pills are successfully produced, they are obviously not comparable.

Even so, these pills are still outstanding masterpieces among the works of many alchemists. If they were in previous alchemy conferences, they might have won the first prize.

However, unfortunately, they met Xiao Ling, a genius who could be described as an enchanting monster.

In his light, the efforts and fantasies of others seem to pale in comparison.

Faced with the eighth-grade nine-color reincarnation soul-shaping pill that Xiao Ling was about to refine, their hopes and dreams were like bubbles, destined to be regrettably shattered in this ruthless reality...

After looking around, Xiao Ling gently relaxed his slightly tired spirit and whispered a few words to the little mink beside him.

Afterwards, he did not linger any longer, put aside all distracting thoughts, and devoted his full attention to the vast project of alchemy again.

Xiao Ling clenched his palms lightly, and as he controlled his mind, the dark golden fire in the medicine cauldron surged out in an instant like an awakened dragon.

The flame rolled, enveloping all the medicinal liquid that had been carefully refined in the previous few days, like an invisible net, firmly locking every drop of essence.

The process of fusing medicinal power is the ultimate test of the alchemist's control, reaching an extremely demanding standard.

During this period, any tiny mistake may lead to failure and make all previous efforts go to waste.

Therefore, the importance of this step cannot be overemphasized.

It is like a watershed on the road to alchemy. On one side is the peak of success, and on the other side is the abyss of failure. Every step must be taken cautiously and without any room for error.

Xiao Ling was also very clear about this. The medicine he refined this time was a nine-color eighth-grade elixir, which had reached the pinnacle of the eighth-grade elixir. The difficulty of refining it could be imagined, and it was far beyond the ordinary eighth-grade level.

Therefore, at this critical moment, his mind was focused to an unprecedented level, and the vast soul power like the ocean permeated every corner of the medicine cauldron, like an invisible net, firmly controlling the world within the medicine cauldron.

In this tense atmosphere, any tiny change in the medicine cauldron could not escape Xiao Ling's perception. Every trace of the fusion of the medicinal power and every flicker of the flame were instantly transmitted to his mind, extremely clear.

Under Xiao Ling's rigor and concentration, the process of integrating the medicinal power went naturally and smoothly as expected.

Although the progress of this process is really too slow, who dares to speed up rashly at such a critical moment? Steady and steady is the highest guiding principle at this time.

The process of integrating medicinal power is the longest one among the many steps in alchemy.

Xiao Ling's fusion operation this time took nearly ten days before it slowly came to an end...

The time Xiao Ling spent on refining the eighth-grade elixir this time was indeed significantly longer than the time he spent on refining the eighth-grade elixir in the past.

However, considering Xiao Ling's concentration during the refining process, the huge amount of medicinal materials required, and the significant increase in the difficulty of refining, such a time consumption is reasonable.

Xiao Ling sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy cauldron, almost without moving. His eyes were always fixed on the cauldron. Every operation he made was precise and powerful, as if his entire soul had been integrated into every detail of alchemy...

……

Time slips away quietly like sand between fingers. Before you know it, half a month has passed.

During this long period of time, more and more contestants completed their pill refining.

As a result, this piece of world was gradually enveloped by an extremely rich elixir fragrance, which was like nectar, permeating the air. With just a light breath, people would feel that the fatigue of the past few days seemed to disappear in an instant.

Although more and more contestants successfully refined elixirs, these elixirs failed to trigger the arrival of elixir thunder.

The most outstanding one among them only caused the sky to be covered with dark clouds, but not even a trace of lightning was seen, let alone the roar of real thunder.

Faced with such a situation, few people felt disappointed, because they understood that this alchemy conference was gradually reaching its climax.

The elixirs currently being refined have reached the sixth grade, and it seems that the birth of seventh-grade elixirs will soon become a reality.

As the elixir's quality level increased, the atmosphere in the entire venue became more and more tense, and everyone was waiting for that moment to come.

When the first seventh-grade elixir is born, it will be the first climax of this alchemy conference.

……

As for all the changes in the outside world, Xiao Ling seemed to be oblivious to it. His gaze remained the same, fixed firmly on the medicine cauldron.

After more than ten days of meticulous fusion, at this moment, in the center of the blazing flames in the medicine cauldron, a small oval-shaped ball about the size of a fist could be vaguely seen slowly rising.

This small ball is made up of the essence of hundreds of precious medicinal materials. Although it is still in the embryonic stage of the elixir and even its complete prototype has not yet appeared, the significance it represents is already extraordinary.

Although the small ball has not yet been fully formed, the most difficult step, the integration of medicinal power, has been successfully completed.

Now, as long as Xiao Ling maintains a stable refining state, he will be able to successfully refine this eighth-grade, nine-color Samsara Soul Pill.

From beginning to end, the little mink floated beside Xiao Ling. Its concentration was no less than that of Xiao Ling, the person who was refining the elixir. After setting up the formation, the little mink had been keeping a close eye on every subtle change in the medicine cauldron.

The process of refining the Reincarnation Soul-Shaping Pill requires exquisite control over the energy of life and death.

Under the careful guidance of Xiao Diao and the spirit of the ancestors, Xiao Ling has gained a deep understanding of the power of life and death.

His mastery of the power of life and death was enough to support him in refining the legendary Reincarnation Soul-Shaping Pill.

However, the road to alchemy is full of dangers. If Xiao Ling makes the slightest mistake when using the power of life and death, it may cause an unpredictable disaster.

For this reason, the little mink is always ready. Once an imbalance occurs, it will take action immediately to maintain the delicate balance between life and death.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling's refining process was as smooth as flowing water. Every step was precise and there were no mistakes. This made Xiao Diao, who had been watching from the sidelines, secretly relieved.

Xiao Diao has been following Xiao Ling for a long time, and naturally has witnessed the process of Xiao Ling refining pills countless times.

Although Xiao Diao itself is not an alchemist, after observing the superb skills of this eighth-grade alchemist for a long time, it has a deep understanding of every step of alchemy.

It can be said that Xiao Diao's familiarity with the alchemy process even surpassed some senior alchemists. When Xiao Diao realized that the situation in the medicine cauldron had progressed to the stage of pill formation, if nothing unexpected happened, the only thing left for the refining of this reincarnation soul-shaping pill was waiting.

Its heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, finally slowly fell back to earth.

At the same time, an irrepressible excitement surged in its chest and quietly revealed in its eyes.

After such a long life as a demon spirit, Xiao Diao is finally on the verge of resurrection.

If it hadn't been worried about disturbing Xiao Ling who was concentrating on refining the elixir, it would have probably been unable to contain its excitement and would have howled excitedly to the sky.

……

As the Alchemy Conference progressed, it was gradually entering the second half. At this stage, there were only two types of people who still insisted on sweating on the alchemy table.

One is the alchemy master who truly possesses profound strength, and the other is the unqualified person who is just trying to make do and blend in.

Obviously, in such occasions, the former accounts for the vast majority.

After all, not everyone has enough courage and shamelessness to dare to embarrass themselves at such an event full of masters.

The stage of the Alchemy Conference is ultimately the world of the powerful.

"boom!"

Under the slightly scorching sky, a dull thunder suddenly tore through the silence and resounded across the sky.

In an instant, countless eyes turned upwards, looking for the source of the sound.

Everyone watched in amazement as a dark cloud formed in the sky at some point. Unlike ordinary clouds, it seemed to contain some terrifying power, and it even emitted a low thunderous sound.

This strange phenomenon undoubtedly indicated that Dan Lei was taking shape, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

"Dan Lei? Could it be that a seventh-grade elixir is about to be born?"

As the strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, exclamations broke out in the square.

The sounds came one after another, and people's eyes were focused on the sky covered by dark clouds.

There, on a stone platform, the figure of a middle-aged man stood out.

His face was filled with ecstasy, his eyes fixed on the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, his excitement and pride were beyond words.

It was he who first triggered the arrival of Dan Lei and became the focus of attention.

"boom!"

A moment later, from the thick dark clouds, a bolt of lightning like a silver python suddenly streaked across the sky and fell rapidly with shocking power.

The pill thunder accurately hit a figure on a stone platform. The man swayed slightly, but he steadily took the thunderous blow.

Then, wisps of tangible elixir fragrance wafted out from the stone platform, instantly filling the air and intoxicating everyone.

"Haha, I succeeded!"

Under the gazes of countless eyes, the man with slightly graying hair and beard laughed wildly with great passion.

He held high in his hand a pill the size of a longan, which was flashing with an alluring light, like the brightest star in the night sky.

This pill is the result of his hard work and skills, and a testament to his glory.

Regarding the man's inappropriate laughter, the people present not only did not have the slightest intention of blaming him, but instead looked at him with respect and enthusiasm.

A master alchemist who can refine seventh-grade elixirs is a highly respected VIP wherever he goes and enjoys supreme treatment.

The arrival of the pill thunder over there also attracted the attention of Xiao Ling, who was concentrating on nurturing the elixir.

He slowly opened his slightly dazed eyes and glanced at the thunderclouds in the distant sky.

A trace of scrutiny flashed across his eyes, and then he shook his head slightly, making a judgment in his heart. With such a weak pill thunder, it seems that the pill that is about to be released is only at the low level of the seventh grade.

In this vast Central Plains continent, being able to refine seventh-grade elixirs is undoubtedly a high recognition of the alchemist's skills, enough to earn the title of "Alchemy Master".

However, in this alchemy competition with a galaxy of stars and numerous experts, although the seventh-grade elixir is still a masterpiece, it no longer seems so unique, so less eye-catching, and even a little ordinary.

Xiao Ling just glanced at them lightly and then retracted his gaze. His eyes could not help but turn again to the relief of Cao Ying and Dan Chen in the distance.

His brows raised slightly involuntarily, and this time, he could vaguely feel the energy fluctuations coming from their medicine cauldron.

Judging from the trajectory and frequency of these fluctuations, it won’t be long before the elixir they are refining is completed.

Moreover, according to the current progress, their speed of making pills seems to be slightly faster than Xiao Ling's...

Then, Xiao Ling turned his gaze towards the direction where Xiao Yan was.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was concentrating on the final step of refining the elixir, concentrating on controlling the delicate balance of alchemy.

With just a slight sense, Xiao Ling was able to detect the energy fluctuations surging in the alchemy furnace in front of Xiao Yan.

From the complex energy fluctuations, he quickly figured out that what Xiao Yan was refining at the moment should be a seventh-grade high-level pill.

Pills of this level are quite eye-catching even in a pill competition filled with many experts.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smile.

Perhaps, just as he had previously speculated, Xiao Yan might really be able to seize the opportunity at this alchemy conference and break into the top ten honor list in one fell swoop.

Such an achievement is a great honor and affirmation for any alchemist.

Xiao Yan has come all the way from the Northwest Continent and has come this far, so he can truly be called a genius of his generation.

After the first shock of Dan Lei, only half a day later, thunderclouds gathered in the sky again, and this time the thunderclouds looked thicker and their strength was obviously greater than before.

This undoubtedly indicates that some contestants have refined elixirs of even higher quality.

For a period of time that followed, the entire venue became extremely lively.

Almost every day, traces of Danlei appear in the sky two or three times, and they are different in intensity, some thicker and some thinner.

Xiao Ling observed carefully, and based on the density and power of the pill thunder, he deduced that even the purest pill thunder would only correspond to a mid-level seventh-grade pill.

The atmosphere in the square became extremely heated due to the continuous occurrence of Danlei phenomena. The silence and depression of the previous few days were now swept away.

Every time a seventh-grade elixir is born, it will attract countless greedy and envious eyes.

This kind of high-level elixir has an irresistible attraction to the strong people who have not yet entered the Dou Zun realm.

Therefore, whenever a seventh-grade elixir appears, the entire square will be boiling, and the enthusiasm and expectations of the spectators will be pushed to a climax.

Boom boom boom!
The Danlei that was extremely difficult to see in the past has become commonplace in this sky, making many people feel as if their eyes have been opened.

As time slowly passed, the number of stone platforms still burning with elixir fire in the square gradually decreased, and finally, there were less than fifty stone platforms left.

Everyone knows that the alchemists who have been able to persist until now are undoubtedly the top masters in the alchemy world of the Douqi Continent.

If everything goes well, the champion of this Dan Conference will undoubtedly come from this group of elites.

His eyes swept across the blazing fires on the dozens of stone platforms, and the atmosphere in this area of ​​the sky seemed to become silent and solemn and tense.

Every audience member present could feel that the most exciting and fierce competition of the Alchemy Association was about to begin.

Every molecule in the air is filled with anticipation and excitement. A pinnacle showdown in the world of alchemy is about to take place... (End of this chapter)
