Seeing that the commotion he had caused had attracted the attention of the cultivators gathered around the square, Gu Qing felt helpless.

It's not that he's trying to show off.

Rather, it's because the Soul of the Gold-Eating Insect in the Foundation Establishment Realm is incredibly stupid compared to ordinary demon souls in the same realm; it acts almost entirely based on its survival instincts.

The higher the intelligence of a soul, the lower its resistance to the flames of hell.

The Gold-Eating Insect Soul, driven only by the instinct for survival, was surprisingly unafraid of the special aura released by the Hellfire in the face of death. It even disregarded the damage and actively devoured Gu Qing's Hellfire with an extremely ferocious attitude.

In order to suppress the soul of this ancient remnant ferocious insect, Gu Qing had to use the profound mysteries of fire attribute in combination with hellfire to suppress the insect soul and further refine it.

"Young friend Gu certainly doesn't disappoint."

"The combination of the profound mysteries of fire and spiritual fire in alchemy is quite difficult. Its attributes are profound and connect with heaven and earth. If used for alchemy, it will cause violent energy fluctuations in the outside world."

"And energy fluctuations can interfere with the stability of alchemy."

"Unless one's control over the flames reaches a level of divine skill, very few people use profound powers to interfere with the spiritual reactions inside the alchemy furnace."

Not far away, seeing Gu Qing using profound power to enhance the power of the spiritual fire, Lou Guan couldn't help but comment.

Han Feng, who was standing next to him, was also slightly taken aback when he saw this.

"He does indeed have some real skills."

"In that case, I must give it my all and take it seriously. Rather than be a loser and become a background character, I would rather be a winner."

"Blue Water Ice Flame, you don't want to lose to that dark red spirit flame either, do you?"

The azure flame that Han Feng used was also a spiritual flame, which he obtained from the deep sea in the far north.

As the fire-controlling seals were injected into the blue water ice flames, the various medicinal herbs in Han Feng's alchemy furnace seemed to be soaking in water, making it easier for impurities to separate out.

Han Feng's flames possess both the characteristics of fire and water.

It has a significant advantage in quenching impurities.

Lan Siqi's Azure Phoenix Phantom Flame is a kind of contract flame. When he was young, he had a strange encounter and unexpectedly saved a prehistoric bird. He formed a contract with that beast and gained a trace of special power.

From then on, his spiritual flames took the form they do now.

Under the oppressive power of the special beasts,

When Lan Siqi was refining the Insect Soul Condensation Pill, the ferocious insect soul didn't dare to act recklessly at all. It seemed to be suppressed by some kind of pressure, so it lay down and generously faced its death.

Compared to the three veteran Golden Core Realm alchemists, Gu Qing seemed to have more difficulty dealing with the Foundation Establishment Realm insect souls.

but……

Gu Qing has also qualified for this competition.

Gu Qing began refining pills.

The first step is to process and refine various medicinal materials, extracting the useful components from them.

Staring at the flames in the alchemy furnace, Gu Qing tossed in one ordinary main ingredient and auxiliary ingredient after another. Compared to the Insect Soul, these materials were the easiest to process and were also a prerequisite for refining the Insect Soul Pill.

Following the pill formula derived last night, Gu Qing maximized his mental power. The perspective characteristic derived from the [Reflecting Heaven Sword Manual] allowed him to have a three-dimensional view during the processing and refining of medicinal materials, clearly seeing the changes at each level of the materials. This made Gu Qing's processing of ordinary medicinal materials more orderly and steady.

Gu Qing's movements were like those of a piano master, separating the spirituality from these materials with an elegant rhythm.

on the square.

No one dared to make a loud noise and disturb the game.

After all, this time a Grand Alchemist at the Golden Core Realm was involved, and offending a Golden Core True Person could truly mean death.

Everyone watched the alchemy area, where the four people used four different types of flames, each displaying their unique abilities.

This competition left all the onlookers, who were merely watching, secretly thrilled.

Before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed. The three Golden Core Realm alchemists had basically finished processing all the materials, and even the Foundation Establishment Realm insect souls had been refined.

Next comes the fusion of the spiritual properties of various medicinal herbs, which ultimately stimulates a special composite spirituality, fusing together to create the spiritual effects needed by the cultivator.

The process of spiritual fusion is very mysterious. In this process, substances and energies with different spiritual properties will undergo a magical reaction, combining various individual spiritual substances into an organic whole.

After refining the other materials, Gu Qing looked at the three Grand Alchemists of the Three-Dimensional Golden Core Realm and found that their speed had already surpassed his. Gu Qing's expression darkened, and with a thought, the power of the flames was amplified once again, making the temperature of the Hellfire even more terrifying.

But what followed was that strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth actively approached Gu Qing, like firewood, strengthening the hellfire and making the flames fluctuate more violently.

Gu Qing unleashed his full mental power, using his powerful mental calculation abilities to observe the flow of spiritual energy around him, calculate the fluctuations of the karmic fire, control variables in advance, change his own spiritual power output, and continuously smooth out peaks and valleys to keep the hellfire stable.

Just as Gu Qing was dealing with the insect soul.

The monks watching in the square suddenly let out suppressed murmurs of amazement.

Many people looked towards Han Feng on the far right of the alchemy platform, where they saw that the aroma of pills was beginning to emanate from above Han Feng's alchemy furnace.

At the same time, a small amount of spiritual energy gathered towards the alchemy furnace in front of Han Feng.

This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Having witnessed Gu Qing refining the elixir yesterday, everyone is already familiar with the unusual phenomena associated with elixirs. The gathering of spiritual energy above Han Feng's elixir furnace is clearly a precursor to successfully refining the elixir.

On the high platform, Su Changge, who had originally been very confident in Gu Qing, paused slightly with a smile.

"Brother Su, your mind is in turmoil!!"

Looking at the competition below, Li Daoyi said calmly.

In the following competition, the three Golden Core Realm alchemists were significantly faster than Gu Qing in refining pills. Even though Gu Qing used the profound mysteries of fire to refine pills, he still could not bridge the gap between the Qi Refining Realm and the Golden Core Realm.

Following Han Feng, Lou Guan and Lan Siqi also began the process of condensing pills, and a small amount of spiritual energy gathered above their pill cauldrons.

"These three old devils are indeed worthy of being old devils who have been immersed in the Dao of Alchemy for many years."

"To deduce a complete new pill formula in just one night, and even refine pill spirit patterns, young friend Gu, winning this round will be no easy feat..."

On the high platform, Su Changge regained his composure and offered his objective comments.

"yes!!"

"In terms of refining speed, we have already fallen behind the three Golden Core Realm Grand Alchemists. If we want to maintain our dominance over the three, the quality of our pills will have to be far superior."

"Otherwise, we can only test the effects of the pills in practice..."

The actual test of the pill's effects is to test the pill on-site.

However, it is difficult to guarantee that a prescription derived in just one night is without flaws.

On the altar in front of the square.

Feeling the commotion caused by the three Golden Core Realm alchemists beside him, Gu Qing's eyelids twitched. These three old devils could refine spirit pills right away. Their hundreds of years of life had indeed not been in vain.

"If I can't surpass those three old ghosts in the quality of my pills, how can I possibly step onto the bridge to heaven they've built!"

"This round."

"I not only want to win, but I want to win beautifully, and win convincingly!!"

Thinking of this, Gu Qing took a deep breath.

With a slight thought, the Karmic Fire Melting Sand Gourd at his waist emitted a low rumble.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, spiritual rings lit up on the gourd, a total of ten and a half layers of spiritual aura.

"Hellfire, come forth!"

Gu Qing silently recited it.

The gourd at his waist was like a fire-breathing gourd, with a dark red torrent gushing out from its mouth and merging into the alchemy furnace in front of Gu Qing.

"Do you have another trump card up your sleeve?"

"Brother Gu's gourd can not only spray sand, but also breathe fire?"

Seeing this scene in the crowd in the square, the Yang father and daughter couldn't help but think of the scene when they met Gu Qing a few months ago.

Gu Qing used the dark red gourd at his waist and his sand control technique to drive the Tiger Fiend Sect into a panicked retreat.

but……

Is this really okay?

Watching Gu Qing's actions, the hearts of the Yang father and daughter couldn't help but race.

Is Gu Qing taking a risk?

Are you still confident?

Not only were the hearts of the Yang family father and daughter racing, but the two Golden Core Realm cultivators on the high platform were also feeling the same way!

"Young friend Gu, can you do it?"

"Is it possible to upgrade the elixir to a second-grade, second-spirit-pattern level?"
