Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 96, Scene 4: Body Tempering Pill!

"How did he finish refining them so quickly, and even produce six pills!"

"This! This is absolutely cheating!"

Hu Liang glared at Yu Changsheng through gritted teeth, but dared not utter his innermost thoughts. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then suppressed his emotions, trying to calm himself down.

"It's alright, I passed this round. The next round will be presided over by Master. Gongsun Yang doesn't follow the rules of Dan De, so Master will definitely give him a taste of his own medicine!"

Just as his expression gradually relaxed, Gongsun Yang flew towards him, glanced down at the contents of the alchemy furnace, and said expressionlessly.

"Three pills were formed, their quality is barely acceptable, I'll give you a nine out of ten."

"This is only because of your master."

Hu Liang's lips twitched, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Elder Gongsun."

Gongsun Yang nodded, then looked at the other alchemists and said, "There is only half an hour left. If the time limit is exceeded, this alchemy session will be eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ran and the others felt immense pressure.

Time is drawing ever closer.

Outside the venue, discussions grew louder, with most of them focusing on Yu Changsheng.

Many disciples initially looked down on the alchemists of Beast Taming Peak, but now they have been proven wrong one by one, their perceptions completely changed.

"It's extremely rare for an alchemist from Beast Taming Peak to win first place!"

"There are still two more alchemy competitions to go; he might not be number one!"

"Hehe, bro, how did you manage to close such a big score gap?"

"You don't know this, do you? The person in charge of the next alchemy session is Hu Liang's master. If the questions are slightly more favorable to him, the score will be brought back."

"Yu Changsheng's success in this match was partly due to luck. I heard that his master was Gongsun Yang."

"Huh? No way, then he wouldn't be..."

"Hehe, otherwise how do you think he was the first to achieve the Core Formation? It's all thanks to connections!"

Soon, some negative comments began to circulate among the disciples.

Yu Changsheng scanned them with his divine sense and heard every word they said, but his emotions were not affected.

After all, he is capable.

"It's done!"

The third person to successfully refine the pill was Mi Lifu. He was exceptionally talented in magic and combined it with alchemy, making it much easier for him to refine this special pill than for others.

Mi Lifu laughed loudly, attracting the attention of many people.

"Hmm, not bad, it just took a little too long."

"Three pills were formed, of average quality, I'll give you ten points."

Gongsun Yang was very fair. Hu Liang got nine points because of the time factor, which reduced the quality of the medicine. Mi Lifu, on the other hand, took more time, but the quality of the medicine was better, so he got an extra point.

Hu Liang didn't have much of an opinion on this.

"receive!"

The last one to complete the elixir was Duan Ran.

He knelt before the alchemy furnace, panting heavily as he performed hand seals to extinguish the fire, completing the pill just before the four hours were about to run out.

The quantity is the same, three pieces, but the condition is slightly worse than that of Mi Lifu, so it gets a score of seven.

"Bang!"

Covered in dust, Tao Lexin sighed dejectedly, "It's all for nothing."

This batch was the last one. He got impatient at the last minute and turned off the heat too quickly, causing the liquid inside to explode instead of condensing.

The gray smoke rising from the alchemy furnace mirrored his current mood.

"The third alchemy session is over."

Gongsun Yang announced, "Four people have advanced. Elder Xu will now preside over the fourth alchemy session!"

After saying that, he smiled slightly at Yu Changsheng and then sat down in the stands.

First place: Yu Changsheng, 69 points.

Second place: Hu Liang, 50 points.

Third place: Mi Lifu, 50 points.

Fourth place: Duan Ran, 33 points.

The score gap between the four alchemists is quite large now.

However, as the games progress, they accumulate more points, giving them a chance to overtake the other team.

If one more person is eliminated, the top three will be determined, and each person will have the opportunity to choose a spiritual herb of rank three or below from the sect.

As for the first and second place winners, the rewards will be even more generous.

Mr. Xu walked out of the stands, his figure hovering in mid-air.

It was already dark, but the alchemy competition was still brightly lit and incredibly lively. The disciples surrounding the area lingered, eager to see what kind of pills would be used in this fourth round of competition!

While previous alchemy gatherings were also lively, the number of participants never reached this level, which even aroused the curiosity of many disciples.

"I am Xu Nian, and I will be presiding over the fourth alchemy session. I believe many people have heard of the pills that need to be refined," Elder Xu said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four people on the stage looked up.

Duan Ran's face was full of joy. He must be able to refine pills that many people have heard of. He was sure he could pull back the score in this fourth match.

Hu Liang wondered to himself, what kind of pill was it? Would his master really be so impartial?

Mi Lifu looked nervous. If it were a regular pill, his advantage might not be so great!

Yu Changsheng quietly watched Xu Nian, waiting for her to continue.

The other person continued speaking.

"This pill is a mid-grade, second-tier pill, called the Body Tempering Pill!"

"It was once a cultivation pill for body refiners, but after thousands of years of evolution, it has become a pill that only foundation establishment cultivators take."

"After taking this pill, Foundation Establishment cultivators can enhance their physique, improve the strength and recovery ability of their physical body, just like Body Refinement cultivators in the past. Such pills are extremely rare and difficult to obtain outside, and they are also very difficult to refine."

"This pill formula is one of the treasured pill formulas of our Jade Cauldron Peak. Now, as it is used for the alchemy competition, anyone who sees it will automatically have a divine sense imprint set on them, and they must not reveal the secret of the pill formula."

After Xu Nian finished speaking, she distributed the pill formula and materials to the four stone platforms.

Both the alchemists on the stands and the disciples outside were dumbfounded, never expecting it to be a Body Tempering Pill!

Everyone has certainly heard of this elixir, and it is quite famous. However, weak Qi Refining cultivators like them cannot take it, otherwise there is a risk of their bodies exploding.

Only ancient cultivators who practiced body refinement could consume it, or it could be used as a pill for demonic beasts. Consuming one pill could increase strength, but at the same time, it would cause great damage to the physical body and should not be consumed for a long time.

"Body Tempering Pill, it really is a well-known elixir. May we refine it?"

Duan Ran's lips twitched. As an extremely rare body-refining pill, its refining conditions were far superior to those of ordinary pills!

These second-tier alchemists might be able to easily refine other second-tier pills, but this is difficult, extremely difficult!

"The difficulty is no less than that of the Scattered Demon Core!"

"That guy Hu Liang, could it be..."

Duan Ran glanced over secretly and saw that Hu Liang's lips were slightly upturned, as if he was suppressing a smile!

This guy definitely knows how to refine Body Tempering Pills!

That's true, Xu Nian is his master after all!

"Damn it, why isn't there a master to preside over the assembly!"

"It's all a cover-up, a complete cover-up!"

Duan Ran was so angry she wanted to cry.
