Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 93 Corpse Worm Pill

"The first alchemy session is over!"

"Eighty-two alchemists have passed the test!"

"The rest of you may leave on your own."

When the two hours were up, Li Xiuqi announced the results without hesitation.

Of the nearly one thousand alchemists, only eighty-two were selected, which shows how difficult it was, eliminating ninety percent of the candidates.

However, most of these 90% of alchemists are not qualified; they mostly just casually refine pills or have only learned some rudimentary alchemy techniques and are just doing it part-time to earn some extra money.

Only those who have truly dedicated themselves to alchemy are selected.

Of these eighty-two alchemists, only a few were from other peaks; the rest were from Jade Cauldron Peak, which held an advantage in alchemy.

"Next, we will begin the second alchemy session."

As Li Xiuqi spoke, the alchemists present stared at him nervously, fearing that he would mention another obscure elixir.

But the result did not disappoint them; it was indeed an uncommon elixir!

"The second pill is called the Corpse Worm Pill!"

"This is the prescription; the timeframe remains two hours!"

After speaking, Li Xiuqi waved his hand to lower the stone platform, leaving only eighty-two platforms, and then the pill formula and materials fell down.

Many alchemists have never even heard of this unfamiliar and obscure elixir.

Duan Ran glanced at the pill formula and immediately widened her eyes.

"This involves infusing living corpse worms into a pill, ensuring their activity is maintained, keeping them dormant within the pill, and then activating them through divine sense. How is this made?"

"This is way too difficult! Is this even a high-grade first-tier pill?"

On the other side, Hu Liang's expression was also very unpleasant, clearly indicating that his master had not told him about this pill beforehand.

It's very difficult, but his illusory fire alchemy technique emphasizes speed. As long as you're fast enough, you can integrate the corpse worms into the pill and put it into the center before they're burned to death!

"I am fairly confident, and according to the time and procedure in the prescription, three batches can be refined in two hours."

Upon examining the materials, he found there were indeed three copies, and immediately took one out to begin studying it.

On the other side, the alchemist from the Magic Peak was laughing wildly.

"This pill is practically made for me! All I have to do is set up a small rune to make sure the corpse worms can withstand the pill's fire, hahaha."

He seemed to have the upper hand in this round.

There was another renowned alchemist, but Tao Lexin was somewhat at a loss and could only try to replicate the formula.

"This is incredibly difficult, much more so than in previous years. Corpse Worm Pill? I've never even heard of it. Could someone explain it to me?"

"I only know a little about it. It should be a kind of pill used to deal with the Qi Refining disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect in the past. It can use corpse worms to destroy some of their spells, but I don't know the specifics because this kind of pill has been discontinued on the market."

"The sect is actually going to refine this kind of pill? How strange. Is something about to happen?"

"That's not something we Qi Refining cultivators can worry about."

"Yes, don't worry."

Amid the discussions of the onlookers.

Yu Changsheng had already finished reading the pill formula. This pill was indeed very targeted at the Xuan Yin Sect, no, to be precise, it was targeted at Yin Qi.

Similar to the Demon-Dispelling Pill he had refined, this pill, once thrown out, would cause the corpse worms inside to fly out, quickly absorb the surrounding yin energy, and then explode.

It is said that the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect attain enlightenment through killing, and the spells they cultivate are mostly related to Yin energy. Therefore, this Corpse Worm Pill will indeed have an effect on the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect.

However, this only applies to the Qi Refining stage. Foundation Establishment stage cultivators might be able to kill the corpse worms as soon as they appear.

"If the sect can even get their hands on such an unorthodox pill, could they possibly have similar second-tier pills as well?"

Yu Changsheng thought about it and felt it was very likely.

But that's not something he should worry about. Right now, he needs to refine the pill and get the Foundation Establishment Pill materials.

"The requirements for refining this pill are very high; I estimate that not many people here can refine it successfully."

Yu Changsheng glanced at the others, shook his head, then raised his hand and conjured a flame to gently warm the pill furnace before throwing in the auxiliary ingredients for the Corpse Worm Pill.

Even he wouldn't dare throw them all in to refine this time.

A first-grade high-quality pill, still an outlier among the niche ones.

He needs to try.

"Two hours is enough for me to refine pills twice. Let's control the time a bit."

"The biggest problem with this elixir is the corpse worms. If the corpse worms are burned to death in the elixir fire, it will be useless."

"However, the flames of the Three-Wen Fire Alchemy Technique are gentle and slow. Combined with the still fire I have mastered, I am about 70 to 80% confident in my first attempt."

Yu Changsheng closed his eyes, manipulating the alchemy furnace while simulating the process in his mind.

"Now is the time."

He slowed the flames in the alchemy furnace until it reached a still flame, then immediately threw out the corpse worms that were placed next to him.

The main ingredient falls into it, and the still fire envelops the corpse worm, slowly refining it.

"Slow down, be quiet!"

Yu Changsheng opened his eyes, manipulated the flames, and then combined the corpse worms with the liquid material!

During the final cleanup, the corpse worms suddenly seemed to be stimulated and began to struggle, trying to escape.

Yu Changsheng quickly manipulated the flames, but soon the corpse worm burst out of the pill and turned to ashes in the flames.

All our efforts were in vain!

"It took me a little over half an hour; I was a bit too hasty."

Yu Changsheng sighed. If he had more time, he was confident that he could condense the pill this time.

As he failed, others also sighed in disappointment.

"Duan Ran failed."

"It seems only Hu Liang is still refining it now; he has a chance to succeed on his first try!"

"Even Tao Lexin can't take it anymore!"

"It seems that it's very difficult to refine this elixir without failing once or twice."

"Nonsense, who would bother refining such obscure pills all the time? It's already impressive that you can manage to burn only one batch every half hour!"

"Hey, the alchemist from Beast Taming Peak also failed, hahaha."

For some reason, some people are particularly happy when they see Yu Changsheng fail.

Especially some cultivators from Jade Cauldron Peak, their mouths were so wide they could fit an apple in them.

However, Yu Changsheng was not affected by them.

On the stands, Old Xu chuckled and looked at Gongsun Yang. Seeing his calm and composed expression, he couldn't help but hum a little.

"Gongsun Yang, it seems you have a lot of confidence in your disciple."

"Of course, he's my personal protégé."

Gongsun Yang stroked his beard and laughed.

Just then, a commotion arose ahead, and everyone looked over.

It was Hu Liang who opened the alchemy furnace and was the first to successfully complete the elixir.

"Three pills were formed, but none had pill patterns, so they can be counted as six points."

"There's still enough time; you can continue refining."

Li Xiuqi glanced at him and said.

Hu Liang immediately took the materials and refined them again. The first batch of pills produced poor results; they were crooked and barely met the standard.

As an ambitious alchemist, he naturally wanted to refine better pills.

The speed of the False Fire Alchemy Technique is enough for him to start two more batches!

"Master the final trick, and producing six pills will be no problem!"

Hu Liang took a deep breath and threw the main ingredient into the stove.
