The Innate Qi Manipulation Technique!
This secret art was indeed created and documented by Ye Wentian, the founder of the Ye Clan.
When the Ye Clan was annihilated, the Sacred Dan Pavilion had swept away most of the elixir formulas and alchemical techniques from the Ye Clan, taking everything in one fell swoop.
The Threefold Harmony Technique!
The Innate Qi Manipulation Technique!
Both are secret methods for purifying the alchemical cauldron.
Nowadays, within the Sacred Dan Sect, there are secret manuals that preserve these techniques.
Sheng Shaoqing grew up practicing in the Sacred Dan Sect and had learned about the Innate Qi Manipulation Technique, even attempting to cultivate it!
However… he failed.
The Innate Qi Manipulation Technique, this secret art for purifying the alchemical cauldron, was just too difficult!
Not just for Sheng Shaoqing, but in the past five hundred years, not a single alchemist within the Sacred Dan Sect had succeeded in cultivating it. Some even doubted that the cultivation methods recorded in the secret scrolls were simply wrong.
Thus, Sheng Shaoqing had to settle for the next best thing and cultivated the Threefold Harmony Technique instead.
Ever since he mastered the Threefold Harmony Technique, every time he purified the alchemical cauldron and then refined elixirs, the quality of the elixirs improved by a full thirty percent!
How much higher would the quality of elixirs be if one could master the even more profound Innate Qi Manipulation Technique?
He, Sheng Shaoqing, had not learned it!
Yet now, Ye Wushuang had openly demonstrated it before everyone’s eyes!
That scoundrel!
A glint of murderous intent flickered in Sheng Shaoqing’s eyes.
Ye Wushuang met his gaze with a smile and said, “It seems that the Innate Qi Manipulation Technique is indeed more sophisticated than the Threefold Harmony Technique, isn’t it?”
“Since the well-informed Master Sheng has mastered the Threefold Harmony Technique, the Sacred Dan Sect must also have the cultivation methods for the Innate Qi Manipulation Technique. Why didn’t you learn it, Master?”
“Or… is it that you couldn’t learn it?”
“You…” Sheng Shaoqing was consumed by rage.
But in an instant, he calmed down and said with a sneer, “It’s just a technique for purifying the alchemical cauldron. What we’re truly competing on is the quality of the elixirs we refine.”
“I hope you can still smile when the time comes.”
With these words, Sheng Shaoqing began to refine elixirs.
The Qi-Harmonizing Elixir!
The Meridian-Cleansing Elixir!
The Calamity-Breaking Elixir!
These three types of first-grade spiritual elixirs are classified as lower, middle, and upper grades, respectively.
There were quite a few second-grade spiritual elixir masters present, and even some third-grade spiritual elixir masters. They were capable of appraising which elixirs had higher quality.
At this moment, the competition continued.
Ye Wushuang and Sheng Shaoqing both began to refine elixirs.
The other elixir masters all focused their gazes on them.
By now, everyone could see that these two were no ordinary individuals. It was a rare opportunity to observe such a competition, and they were all eager to watch closely.
As they watched, many elixir masters began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Whether it was Sheng Shaoqing or Ye Wushuang, their control over the alchemical flame, the temperature of the cauldron, the timing and proportions of the ingredients—all were exquisitely skillful.
These two were undoubtedly top-tier geniuses among elixir masters.
At this moment, Cheng Yuanbai looked at Mu Qiqi and said shakily, “Qiqi, watch closely!”
Mu Qiqi pouted and replied, “I’m already a second-grade spiritual elixir master.”
“Don’t be arrogant,” Cheng Yuanbai said with a bitter smile. “Every step of their elixir refinement is full of mystery. Even I… have to admit my inferiority.”
“Although you can refine second-grade spiritual elixirs successfully, if you were to refine first-grade spiritual elixirs alongside them, the quality might not be as high as theirs!”
Mu Qiqi, though reluctant to admit it, had to agree that what Old Master Cheng said was true.
The skills of these two were indeed unique and profound.
To an outsider, it might seem like a spectacle, but as an elixir master, one could see that many of their handling methods were both unexpected and reasonable.
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Yet, even after waiting for half an hour, no one felt the slightest bit impatient.
Especially the elixir masters, who stretched their necks like ducks, eager to get a closer look.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the elixirs from the two competitors finally emerged…
