Chapter 280: Second Blast Furnace

Watching Jiang Yun, who also failed, Elder Han sighed and said, "Learning from others’ failures, he found the first trap, but ignored the second one!"

"Even though you have now discovered everything, you don’t have enough time left!"

As an eighth-ranked pharmacist, Elder Han needed an hour to refine the Replenishing Heaven Pill, and it was nearly impossible for Jiang Yun to successfully complete it in less than an hour.

Although Elder Han still held a glimmer of hope for Jiang Yun.

He hoped that maybe, at the last moment, this little guy could bring him a surprising joy, but he also knew that his hope might just be a wishful thinking.

However, when Jiang Yun just started his second round of refining, Elder Han’s eyes suddenly widened.

In his eyes, which were originally filled with disappointment, a glimmer of hope reappeared.

Because Jiang Yun really brought him an unexpected surprise.

Jiang Yun waved his wrist and threw all twenty-one kinds of herbs into the Sanhua Cauldron.

The first step of burning and melting is extremely cautious for any pharmacist.

If there is enough time, each herb is burned one by one.

If time is running out, at most three to five herbs are burned simultaneously.

No one has ever dared to burn all herbs at the same time.

Twenty-one kinds of herbs mean twenty-one different melting points, which means there should be twenty-one different flame temperatures to burn them.

In this situation, the chances of failure in burning were just too high.

But Jiang Yun still decided to do it!

Because he knew very well that he was running out of time.

If he kept burning each herb one by one, there was no way he could finish the refining within the set time. So, he had to take some risks.

Burning twenty-one herbs simultaneously meant that he had to divide his divine sense, spirit qi, and even his thoughts into twenty-one parts!

He had to consider the different melting points of each herb to ensure they were all burned into liquid at the same time!

This was truly a challenging test of a pharmacist’s skills!

However, it was also a unique test of his foundation in the way of medicine.

And this happened to be Jiang Yun’s strong suit.

This scene made all the onlookers stare in amazement.

What they now admired was not Jiang Yun’s skill in making medicines, but Jiang Yun’s bravery!

Any other pharmacist would never dare to do the same.

Because it was like asking for failure, like giving up hope of success willingly.

Jiang Yun at this moment seemed to have turned into a flame, into an alchemical furnace, into medicinal herbs, completely oblivious to failure, focusing all his energy on burning these herbs.

So much so that the continuous sound of four explosions from outside went unnoticed by him.

Naturally, the four loud bangs represented four furnaces exploding.

The four pharmacists at the Blessed Land level experienced a second furnace explosion, losing their chance to continue to the final trial, looking dejected as they were escorted out of the Land of Inheritance.

Currently, six people including Jiang Yun are still diligently refining medicinal pills.

Guan Yiming, who was admired by everyone, always kept the lead and seemed to have successfully completed the fusion, beginning the final step of refining.

Following closely behind was Xiao Zheng.

Although Li Changlin had not been eliminated yet, his face was already covered in sweat.

Even his hands were trembling slightly.

Obviously, as time was running out, his composure was starting to slip.

Most people could imagine that Li Changlin’s journey in the competition was coming to an end.

Without a calm mindset, failures would only increase.

Indeed, just a bit longer than the other four contestants, Li Changlin’s alchemical furnace also exploded.

Pale-faced, trembling lips, he was sent out of the Land of Inheritance.

Even though his master had arranged everything for him, Elder Han’s sudden rule change made it all fall apart.

Looking at his disciple, Yang Shizhong angrily looked away, muttering to himself, "Such a disappointment!"

Jiang Yun’s attitude was much better than Li Changlin’s.

Despite being the slowest, with the least time given to him, his expression remained unchanged, hands steady.

"Buzz!"

After two and a half hours passed in this round of competition, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

Everyone clearly saw a white light burst out directly from the alchemical furnace in front of Guan Yiming.

Guan Yiming also looked pleased, reaching out to grab the white light in his hand.

Obviously, he had successfully created the Replenishing Heaven pill.

In this way, many disciples naturally nodded repeatedly, praising endlessly.

"Even though Jiang Yun’s performance was indeed amazing before, Martial Brother Guan is still a genius in the path of medicine, especially in alchemy, slightly superior and incomparable."

"That’s not entirely true. While Martial Brother Guan is indeed gifted in the path of medicine, don’t forget, he is a fifth-rank pharmacist, while Jiang Yun, should not be fifth-rank, so it is normal for him to be a bit slower in refining this new third-rank pill."

Because Jiang Yun’s image in the eyes of the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect has changed, surprisingly many people are also speaking up for him at this moment.

Previously, Guan Yiming’s entire focus was also immersed in alchemy, and it wasn’t until now that he calmly turned his gaze to the other five people in the field.

After scanning one by one, Guan Yiming’s gaze finally fell on Jiang Yun.

Seeing Jiang Yun still in the midst of the first step of burning, a hint of mockery flashed undisguised on his face.

Shaking his head lightly, Guan Yiming withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at anyone else, but looking up at the sky with a leisurely demeanor.

"Boom!"

Another moment passed, following Guan Yiming, another talented pharmacist unexpectedly had a furnace explosion and sadly left the Land of Inheritance, leaving only four people in the competition.

"If the other three people all fail in refining, then there’s no need to continue the final round, Martial Brother Guan will once again win first place in this competition."

"Talking about this now is too early, after all, in alchemy, until the final moment, no one can guarantee success or failure."

Just like to prove this point, as the time was down to the last minute, the only Sky Reaching Realm pharmacist successfully completed the refining.

Following that, Xiao Zheng also finished.

Now, only Jiang Yun was left, with less than a minute of time!

At this moment, Jiang Yun had already started the second round of blending the elixir.

With the lesson learned from the first failure, Jiang Yun’s blending speed this time was extremely fast.

It was like a race against time, making everyone who cared about him watch with bated breath.

Elder Han, especially, knew that as an elder and judge, he was not allowed to watch his disciples’ alchemy process, but he was too anxious.

As the time was running out and only thirty breaths left, he couldn’t help himself and secretly covered Jiang Yun’s alchemical furnace with his divine sense.

"Oh, there is hope, maybe there is still time!"

At first glance, Elder Han’s eyes lit up.

But then, the light in his eyes vanished instantly, "Oh no, he can’t succeed in refining it."

"Because, he definitely hasn’t noticed that his alchemical furnace is about to explode…"

"Boom!"

Before he finished speaking, a deafening noise interrupted him abruptly.

The Sanhua Cauldron in front of Jiang Yun unexpectedly exploded at this critical moment!
