Way of Valkyrie

Chapter 118 Failure?

Shang Yuxian chatted with Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian for a while, and left the inn after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Looking at the backs of the three of them disappearing, Lin Qian asked Ye Xingchen in a low voice, "Brother Ye, what is the purpose of the three of them here?"

The three of them obviously came for Ye Xingchen, it was not a so-called coincidence at all.

"I guess they came to make friends with us. After all, the Alchemist Association also has factions." Ye Xingchen said in a low voice with a smile on his face.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian drank a few glasses of wine, and then left the inn. Lin Qian returned to the Lin family mansion to prepare for tomorrow's game, and Ye Xingchen also returned to the Ye family mansion to prepare for tomorrow's game.

Speechless all night, Lin Qian came to Ye's mansion early the next morning and called Ye Xingchen to participate in the competition.

Today was the final day of the alchemy event. When Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian arrived, the square of the alchemist association was already overcrowded.

"There are so many people." Lin Qian couldn't help sighing.

"Today is the day of the finals. Of course there are too many people. Let's go, let's go." Ye Xingchen glanced at Lin Qian and said with a smile.

When Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian walked to the square, everyone stared at Ye Xingchen in unison. They remembered that Ye Xingchen was also a person with Chi Yan.

"Brother Ye, here we come." The three of Shang Yuxian nodded to Ye Xingchen and greeted him.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian waited in the square for a while. All twenty contestants had arrived, and the rostrum was full of people.

"Today is the final day of the Alchemy Grand Competition. The twenty contestants in front of me will be alchemy on the stage at the same time, and finally let the elders of the review team review. Today's review team is very strong, and Zhou Yuxing, the president of our Alchemist Association, also personally Participate in the review." The white-haired old man stood on the stage, looked around, and said with a smile.

As soon as his words fell, the square erupted instantly. As the alchemist association and the only fourth-level alchemist in Huntian City, Zhou Yuxing actually wanted to participate in the review in person. This was definitely the first time.

Hearing the noise in the square, the white-haired old man waved his hand to make everyone quiet, "Everyone be quiet, and the contestants please come to the stage."

Twenty contestants filed onto the stage, Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian were at the end, and they were also on the edge of the stage.

"No surprises in this match, Shang Yuxian should have won the first place, a third-level alchemist, and he also has Chi Yan."

"Not necessarily, maybe Ye Xingchen will be a dark horse, he also has Chi Yan."

"Impossible. Ye Xingchen is only a second-level alchemist, far behind Shang Yuxian. Although he also has Chiyan, it is impossible to take the first place."

Everyone in the square looked at the twenty contestants, and they were all discussing, but most of them thought that Shang Yuxian would take No.1.

Although Ye Xingchen also has Chi Yan, he is a second-level alchemist after all, and it is not easy to get the first place.

"Every contestant, the time for everyone to make alchemy is only one stick of incense. You must complete the alchemy within one stick of incense. If you exceed the time, the world will be eliminated." The white-haired old man continued.

"The alchemy recipes and herbs needed for today's competition are all provided by the Alchemist Association, and all contestants must refine the alchemy in accordance with the regulations. There are only two copies of herbs in front of you. If you fail twice, you will also be rejected. Elimination." The white-haired old man said with a smile on his face.

Ye Xingchen looked around at a small table next to him. There were various herbs on the table, but there were only two copies of these herbs, and a prescription.

"Of course, you don't have to refine according to the pill recipe, but the pill you refine must be higher than the pill recipe, or you will lose." After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he took out A piece of incense, and lightly lit, "The game has officially begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, the twenty contestants all took out their own Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, and Ye Xingchen also took out the Tiantian-Suppressing Cauldron.

Ye Xingchen picked up the pill and took a look. This pill is a recipe for refining Juli Pill, a first-grade pill.

Ye Xingchen glanced at the crowd around him. Neither the second-level alchemist nor the third-level alchemist chose to refine the elixir on the alchemy formula, but chose their own best elixir.

Ye Xingchen glanced at Danfang, then shook his head lightly, and put Danfang on the stone platform.

"Try refining the soul pill." Ye Xingchen made a sudden decision and muttered to himself.

The Soul Pill is a third-grade low-level elixir, which is very important for the strong masters of the second level of the third level, the spiritual power level, to attack the Soul Level.

Ye Xingchen wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the realm of a third-level alchemist in one fell swoop.

Although Ye Xingchen is only a second-level alchemist now, he still has some confidence in himself.

Ye Xingchen took a look at the herbs, all the herbs needed to refine the Soul Pill were available, and Ye Xingchen quickly put the herbs into the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron according to the formula of the Soul Pill in the Ancient Alchemy Dao.

In Ye Xingchen's dantian, a ray of natal flame instantly appeared on the mandala flower, and after Ye Xingchen's disguise, it turned into Chiyan and appeared on the palm of his hand.

Ye Xingchen put his palms tightly on the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, and began to refine the medicinal herbs in the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

Time passed bit by bit, and Ye Xingchen felt that the medicinal herbs in Tiantian Cauldron hadn't been refined yet.

"What's going on? Why can't it be refined?" Ye Xingchen asked suspiciously.

Suddenly, Ye Xingchen thought of something, and the mental power in his mind slowly joined the flames.

Mental power is like a catalyst. Once it enters the flame, the originally red flame instantly turns purple, and it burns the Zhentian Ding into red.

Ye Xingchen disguised his natal flame as Chi Yan, and the power of the flame itself dropped a lot, and this time he was refining a third-grade elixir, so it was difficult to refine the herbs.

After Ye Xingchen saw it, he hurriedly wrapped Tiantian Cauldron with mental power, and then slowly burned the herbs in Tiantian Cauldron.

Just like that, after 3 minutes, "Hiss." Ye Xingchen finally heard a trace of movement in the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron.

A gratified smile appeared on Ye Xingchen's face, and he used his mental power to control the flame.

After another 2 minutes, finally there was a lot of movement in the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, "Zi Zi." It kept making noises.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen suddenly increased the flame, and in a short while all the herbs in the Tiantian Cauldron were melted. Ye Xingchen released a bit of mental power and cautiously probed into the Tiantian Cauldron, and found All the medicinal herbs in the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron melted.

"It's time." Ye Xingchen said in his mouth, and then quickly poured the last main herb into the Zhentian cauldron with one hand, and then sealed the Tiantian cauldron.

When the last main medicinal herb entered Tian Zhen Ding and fused with the medicinal liquid, there was a non-stop sound of "Zi Zi" in the Tian Zhen Ding.

Ye Xingchen knew that it was time to cultivate the pill, so he slowly controlled the flames, allowing the herbs to fully fuse with the liquid to ensure the efficacy of the pill.

Slowly, the pills were taking shape, and the smile on Ye Xingchen's face became wider.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen heard the sound of "quack".

Looking down, his face changed, and he said loudly: "No, damn it, the pill can't withstand the burning of the red flame, and it's about to shatter."

Ye Xingchen was anxious, if the pill broke at this time, then the alchemy must have failed this time.

At this moment, under the burning of Ye Xingchen's flame and mental power, the elixir was slowly taking shape, and many methods flashed through Ye Xingchen's mind.

"Damn it, something went wrong at such a critical moment." Ye Xingchen said through gritted teeth.

"Quack." The noise in the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron became louder and louder, the pills had been cracked, and the tangy fragrance of the pills slowly dissipated from the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

Ye Xingchen became more and more impatient. If this continues, even if the pill takes shape, the effect will not be the same as before.

Ye Xingchen tried his best to wrap Tiantian Cauldron with his mental strength, but the elixir was already ruined by the flames.

Ye Xingchen couldn't get rid of the flame at this moment, if that was the case, the elixir would be considered a complete failure.

"Pong."

After persisting for a while, the pill finally exploded.

"Damn it, it failed. The third-grade elixir is really not that easy to refine." Ye Xingchen looked at the broken elixir and said helplessly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Xingchen. When they saw Ye Xingchen's broken pill, their expressions changed.

Originally, Ye Xingchen had Chi Yan, so he could have a good ranking, but he failed in alchemy. Now two-thirds of the burning incense has been burned, and there is not much time left for Ye Xingchen.

"Huh? You failed in alchemy?" Zhou Yuxing, who was sitting on the rostrum, looked at Ye Xingchen and muttered to himself.

Shang Yuxian and the others also looked over with complicated expressions.

"Brother Ye, are you okay?" Lin Qian comforted Ye Xingchen while refining the elixir.

And everyone in the square felt sorry for Ye Xingchen, thinking that Ye Xingchen was a little too impatient, and everyone looked down on Ye Xingchen because time was running out.

"I'm fine." Ye Xingchen replied. At this moment, he was thinking about the reason for the failure and the experience he had learned.

"The refining of the third-grade elixir is also a bit difficult, but it won't fail so quickly, right?" Ye Xingchen muttered to himself.

At this time, the three of Shang Yuxian had already completed alchemy, and some other alchemists had also completed alchemy, and there was only a little time left.

"Brother Ye, time is running out. If you don't refine it, you won't be able to play." After finishing refining, Shang Yuxian handed the elixir to the white-haired old man, then looked at Ye Xingchen, and said in a low voice.

Ye Xingchen ignored everyone, he was still immersed in the alchemy just now.
