Sheng Shaoqing and Ye Wushuang did not follow the conventional path of first refining the Qi-Uniting Pill, then the Meridian-Purifying Pill, and finally the Calamity-Breaking Pill. Instead, both of them began refining all three pills simultaneously!
From the very beginning, their unconventional approach had caused a great stir. Now, as the pills emerged from the cauldrons, everyone finally understood that they truly possessed the extraordinary skill to pull off such a feat.
At this moment, in front of each of them stood three majestic pill cauldrons. From the pill-dispensing openings, a faint yet enchanting fragrance wafted into the air. Ye Wushuang and Sheng Shaoqing each stepped forward, carefully placing the pills they had refined into brocade boxes, and then placing the boxes on the sandalwood table that had been prepared in the hall.
Now, standing on opposite sides of the table, they looked at each other. With the pills successfully refined, the next step was to compare the quality of their work and see whose pills were superior.
Sheng Shaoqing sneered, “Ye Wushuang, there’s no need to risk your life for the sake of Qingyun Pavilion!”
“Are you already declaring victory before even examining the quality of the pills?” Ye Wushuang retorted.
Sheng Shaoqing laughed heartily, “Within the borders of the Qingyun Empire, no one can surpass me, Sheng Shaoqing, in the realm of first-class spiritual pill refining.”
With a flourish, he opened the brocade box containing his pills. In the next moment, the faint fragrance of the pills spread outwards. The surrounding second- and third-class spiritual pill masters all leaned in to take a closer look.
However, as each pill master gazed at the pills in the three brocade boxes, they were left stunned and rooted to the spot. The onlookers who could not see from the outer circle felt an increasing sense of urgency as the hall fell into an eerie silence. What on earth was happening?
“Danwen!” someone finally exclaimed.
In an instant, a tide of murmurs and discussions erupted.
“The Qi-Uniting Pill, the Meridian-Purifying Pill, and the Calamity-Breaking Pill—all have Danwen!”
“This… can’t be serious, right?”
“By the heavens, it’s right before our eyes!”
“This Sheng Shaoqing’s pill refining… He’s nothing short of a demonic pill master!”
Danwen! The three first-class spiritual pills refined by Sheng Shaoqing all bore Danwen. What is Danwen?
Every pill refiner produces pills of varying quality. Generally, a successful pill is considered a finished product. However, even among finished pills, there are differences in quality. Typically, a finished pill still contains flaws that can affect its efficacy. For ordinary pill refiners, the efficacy of their pills usually ranges from thirty to fifty percent. More skilled pill refiners can achieve an efficacy of sixty to seventy percent.
A pill with Danwen, however, has an efficacy of at least eighty percent! Danwen is formed when a pill interacts with the ambient spiritual energy after it is refined. It only appears when the pill has minimal flaws. Therefore, a pill with Danwen is undoubtedly of the highest quality.
In the Qingyun Empire, there are some pill refiners who can produce pills with Danwen, but this usually happens only when they are extremely proficient with the specific pill they are refining. However, Sheng Shaoqing’s pills were randomly selected from three different types, and each type produced seven pills, all of which had Danwen.
A pill refiner from the Shengdan Pavilion hurriedly announced, “Young Master Sheng’s pills, seven in total, each with three Danwen.”
“Who in the Qingyun Empire can achieve this?” At this moment, many people were left speechless.
It should be noted that the ingredients prepared earlier, if used perfectly, could produce ten pills. However, every pill refiner present knew that perfect utilization of ingredients was impossible. Even with flawless operation, some loss of ingredient efficacy is inevitable during the refining process. With the amount of ingredients that could theoretically produce ten pills, most pill refiners could only manage to refine three, or even just two, due to the loss of efficacy.
Yet Sheng Shaoqing had produced seven finished pills, all with three Danwen. How could Ye Wushuang possibly win?
