Chapter 106: Clear Distinction
Whoosh…
The fierce fire blazed, and the temperature in the entire square kept rising, becoming extremely hot. But this heat did not dampen people’s enthusiasm. Many were not Medicine Pill Masters, yet they were absorbed in the essence of alchemy.
The process of alchemy was the best state for a cultivator. If one could find that state, it brought great benefits to anyone.
Soon, a blood ginseng was completely refined by the two, impurities removed, leaving only some red liquid that danced in the flames.
"Brother Shen, I need to speed up."
A slight smile appeared on Ouyang Mo’s lips as he waved his hand, and two herbs flew up and fell into the sea of fire.
"Refining two types of herbs at the same time shows that the control over soul power has reached a very high level."
Xiao Liufeng couldn’t help but praise, as usually, a Medicine Pill Master extracted herbs one at a time. Each herb melted and was extracted at different points, and simultaneously refining two herbs meant managing two different points at once. This required the Medicine Pill Master to have incredibly precise control over soul power, even multitasking.
Shen Hao furrowed his brows, but he did not dare to try it; he only refined them slowly, one by one.
From this perspective, Shen Hao was indeed weaker than Ouyang Mo.
Yun Yi observed everything, and an invisible soul power began to flow around him. In his subconscious, both Shen Hao and Ouyang Mo’s movements were too slow. Yun Yi could see their foundations, the trajectories of their soul power, their fire-controlling techniques, and even the temperature of the flames.
An entirely different scene began to form in Yun Yi’s mind, with twelve types of herbs thrown into the sea of fire at the same time, each at a different point. Under his Chaotic Element Soul Forging, he immediately identified all of them.
If Xiao Liufeng knew about this situation, he would probably be so shocked that he would faint on the spot. Even Yun Yi was unaware that he had reached an extremely frightening level in his understanding of alchemy.
The Chaotic Pill Sutra had brought him tremendous benefits at a subconscious level. The Chaotic Element Soul Forging, combined with the Red Lotus Karma Fire, gave Yun Yi a unique advantage. Although he had never practiced alchemy, he found the techniques of Ouyang Mo and Shen Hao quite lacking.
The only one who truly understood Yun Yi’s abilities was probably Black Wind, because no one else knew better the horrors of the Chaotic Pill Sutra. It was a legacy left behind by the Mixed Yuan Ancestor. Any Medicine Pill Master who obtained this scripture, even with just a slight understanding, could become a master of alchemy.
Danchenzi became known as the Medicine King because he acquired the Chaotic Pill Sutra.
Besides, Yun Yi’s Innate Dao Body was unmatched in the world, and his understanding was astonishing. He had already grasped a significant essence of the Chaotic Pill Sutra.
Time passed, and the contest between the two continued. After about half an hour, Ouyang Mo was the first to finish refining all twelve types of medicinal materials and was ready to move on to the next step of material fusion.
At this moment, Shen Hao still had two materials left that he had not had time to refine.
In terms of speed, Shen Hao had already lost.
Luckily, Shen Hao was a master of the Lingyuan Realm, and his mind was relatively steady. Faced with this setback, he did not feel discouraged or restless; otherwise, his alchemical efforts would likely be in vain.
Shen Hao knew that his talent was not as good as Ouyang Mo’s, so he decided not to compete with Ouyang Mo in speed. Instead, he would compare the quality after successfully making the Wash Marrow Pill.
Hiss, hiss…
In Ouyang Mo’s sea of fire, the essence of twelve herbs began to blend together. This time, Ouyang Mo was very careful; after two essences combined, he mixed in the third one.
Many of the herbs also repelled each other. If all twelve herbs were to mix completely at once, they would probably explode immediately.
After another half an hour, Ouyang Mo’s flames suddenly became extremely fierce. Everyone knew that the pill was about to be ready. They could vaguely see the shape of a pill slowly appearing in the flames.
On the other side, Shen Hao was still focused on the important herb blending. His gaze was sharp, and he was not disturbed by Ouyang Mo.
Next to him, Ruan Ming’s smile grew wider. He had seen this scene before with the six clans, and he knew that Ouyang Mo was about to win.
Hey!
Suddenly, Ouyang Mo let out a soft shout, and a milky-white pill was lifted from the sea of fire, like a beam of white light.
Then, Ouyang Mo gathered his soul power and flames, stretched out his hand, and the flying pill landed perfectly in his palm.
Wash Marrow Pill, completed.
"So fast! It took less than an hour to make one Wash Marrow Pill. This speed is truly impressive for a genius."
"Sigh, Martial Brother Shen Hao is still merging. He is already behind in speed; I hope the quality of the Wash Marrow Pill he makes can match Ouyang Mo’s."
"It seems today’s situation is not very hopeful. It will be difficult for Martial Brother Shen Hao to win."
…
A sigh arose from the crowd; Ouyang Mo’s performance was truly outstanding, and people had lost faith in Shen Hao. Many had already guessed the outcome of today’s competition.
Bang!
After a while, a sound came from Shen Hao’s flames, and a pill flew up. The Wash Marrow Pill was also successfully created.
Putting aside the competition, the two only used one chance and successfully created the Wash Marrow Pill. This success rate was quite high, proving that they were remarkable in the art of alchemy.
"Alright, both of you have completed your potions. Shen Hao finished slower, so bring your pills here. My brother, Ruan, and I will judge their quality and grade."
Xiao Liufeng spoke up, and it was clear his expression was very grim. At the moment the two made their pills, Xiao Liufeng had already sensed their quality and had a good idea of the outcome.
Shen Hao seemed destined to lose, and though he was mentally prepared, Xiao Liufeng’s mood was not much better. After all, this was his territory, and he was the alchemy representative of the Yanwu family from Xuanzhou State. Now, if his own student lost, he would certainly feel embarrassed.
Shen Hao and Ouyang Mo each handed their pills to Ruan Ming and Xiao Liufeng.
Xiao Liufeng and Ruan Ming reached out their hands at the same time, revealing two pills.
Ouyang Mo’s pill was like jade, clear and transparent, with rich medicinal power, and only a few tiny impurities that were barely noticeable.
In contrast, Shen Hao’s pill looked slightly less appealing, with noticeably more impurities.
"Based on appearance, Ouyang Mo’s Wash Marrow Pill can be rated as a 90% quality pill, while Shen Hao’s is 80%. Therefore, Ouyang Mo wins."
The test results were announced by Xiao Liufeng himself.
