Chapter 196

nDing!
nAn hour later, in complete silence, Liu Feng’s furnace made a sweet sound. But Liu Feng did not open the furnace just yet.
nMany around him had already made a few mistakes, and that resulted in failures. Almost fifty people were out in the first thirty minutes, and that quickly shot up as the time flew.
nThe ones next to him were still in the middle of their process, so Liu Feng knew that if he took out his pill now, it would distract them too much and they would probably fail their attempt.
nHe did not care too much about Gu Hua, and maybe even wanted her to face failure. But Bai Zhiqui and Ding Yan were not against him, and it was important to keep friends like those in the future.
nLiu Feng glanced up at Pill Elder Qingshan and Master Mu. Master Mu raised his eyebrows first with a little shock, but he nodded after that. Then, he moved his eyes, looking at Bai Zhiqui and the others.
n“Of course he is focused on his dear disciple. But how the hell did he know that I am a good alchemist? This is a serious privacy concern.” once again, that concerning thought appeared in Liu Feng’s mind.
nMinutes passed by, and then hours. Slowly, the arena was getting emptied. Almost a hundred and fifty of the alchemists were eliminated already.
nDing!
nLiu Feng heard a familiar sound next to him. Ding Yan was done with his pill. He was the fastest one here, except for Liu Feng, of course.
nDing Yan looked around and saw that Liu Feng was also done. He was filled with surprise and shock.
n“It seems like my knowledge is really lagging, brother Tian. To think that you have already completed! I should have heard of an alchemy genius of your level years ago. You are definitely better than all of us in alchemy.” he said.
n“Don’t flatter me. I am not as great as you guys. I just happened to have studied under a different master who had a different method of synthesizing this pill.” Liu Feng shook his head.
nDing!
nDing!
nIn succession, Bai Zhiqui and Gu Hua completed their pill formation. Gu Hua saw that Liu Feng was still here, and was so relaxed. That only meant that he was done with his pill formation, and that too, much before her.
n“Are you sure that the pill inside your furnace isn’t pill scraps?” she laughed.
n“I think not. I think that the pill in my furnace is actually a very well made pill.” Liu Feng shook his head, not falling for her taunt. He still had to nod his head in appreciation for her talent.
nShe was definitely one of the three pill geniuses. They had completed much, much before the rest of the alchemists. In fact, some of the alchemists in the far end of the arena were still trying to extract the medicinal essences out from all the ingredients. That was the first step!
nLiu Feng shook his head and sat down cross-legged while closing his eyes. He would rather just cultivate a little in peace rather than listen to some toxic and arrogant girl hate him for no reason.
nOnce again, hours passed by. The sky was getting dark now, but many of the alchemists were still not done. The number of alchemists who had completed forming the pill were ten, including the four in the center.
nPill Elder Qingshan sighed and hovered back up.
n“Everyone. It is time that we stop here. With this, the first round shall end. Those who have not completed forming the pill can leave the arena.” he said softly.
nLiu Feng opened his eyes with a sharp glint and got back up. The arena was getting more and more spatious now. Everyone but ten had left.
n“Please give me your pills for evaluation.” the pill elder said.
nLiu Feng opened his furnace and a pill flew into the jade box that he had ready. It was so quick that not even a little medicinal smell had leaked.
nThe other three did it slowly though. They were in competition with each other.
nThey took out their pills and everyone in the audience could see. That was the surprising part. Everyone in the audience was still there for all these hours. They were carefully observing what went down here.
n“That is a pill with seventy percent purity! I don’t think that I have ever seen a Myriad Aspects Pill with that purity before!” someone shouted when they saw Bai Zhiqui take out her pill.
n“She is probably the winner this time around. There is no doubt about it, in fact. Cairin city is truly blessed to have such a genius.”
nIt appeared as though speed wasn’t everything. Ding Yan completed his pill formation much before Bai Zhiqui, but it was apparent that it was not as good a pill.
nLiu Feng smiled and threw his jade box to Pill Elder Qingshan. The elder opened the jade box once, and closed it almost immediately.
nHe glared at Liu Feng for the next few minutes, as if he was trying to see through him.
n“Did you really make this now? In such little time?” he asked.
n“You have the pill in your hands. You know that you can’t just reheat a pill. That one is fresh out of the furnace.” Liu Feng smiled.
nThe pill elder had no other option but to nod.
nThe other alchemists also gave their jade boxes to the pill elder.
nHe looked through each and every box and nodded.
n“Today, history will be rewritten. Ten young geniuses among us have each made a Myriad Aspects pill, a pill that even many of us do not have the confidence of making. But now, there has to be a clear winner. The top five will get the rewards.” the pill elder said.
