Chapter 1024 Pill Competition 6

“It was merely in the preliminary competition that you were first. The final results of this competition will not be based on your earlier results.” Song Ming Zhu said, “You definitely won’t know this, since you’re from a small area, but true strength comes out at the last stage. You just have to be steady in the earlier competitions. You were first in the beginning, but that doesn’t mean that you will still be first in the end.”

“You are right, I feel the same way.” Sima You Yue nodded her head in agreement.

After speaking, she looked at Ji Qing Yuan, who said that they could get on stage now. She no longer bothered with those people as she turned around to get on the stage.

When Song Ming Zhi saw this, he shot a death glare at her back as he got up with Shen Ye Xuan and the others.

Ji Qing Yuan waited for them to get onstage before announcing, “Today is the final battle. The question is simple. You may refine any pill you wish. There is no restriction on time nor category. Every person gets three chances. The final result will be based on your rank. The highest rank will be the winner. If the rank is the same, the final results will be determined based on grade. If the rank and grade are the same, it will be dependent on the time you took to refine it. This is your final competition, bring forth all of your power!”

After speaking, he got off the stage.

The way they chose to compete this round was similar to the second one. However, nobody was holding anything back this time.

“Boom-”

Song Ming Zhu took out a furnace. This furnace was rather heavy as it landed with a thud.

Sima You Yue looked over and the ancient furnace was heavy and the ancient patterns were fine. The furnace didn’t appear average in the least.

“This is ranked twenty fifth amongst the ancient furnaces, the Floral Furnace.” Song Ming Zhu raised his chin arrogantly.

Sima You Yue looked at the floral patterns and pursed her lips. This was really making her dizzy!

However, a furnace that was ranked twenty fifth sounded like it would be able to raise the quality of his pills.

“How is it, never seen it before, have you?” Song Ming Zhu took Sima You Yue’s curled lips in disdain as an ignorant expression, “Everyone here has a listed furnace, do you?”

Sima You Yue blinked in confusion. Listed furnaces, did she have any?

Following which, Shen Ye Xuan and the others took out their own furnaces as well. There were those who had already used them in previous matches, and those who were taking it out for the first time. Just as Song Ming Zhu had said, they all possessed furnaces that were ranked in the top fifty. Shen Ye Xuan’s furnace was the best out of all of them, possessing the Hundred Beast Furnace ranked fifteenth.

“Everyone has taken out their furnaces, so let’s take a look at yours.” Song Ming Zhu said, “You wouldn’t still be using that torn and tattered furnace from previous rounds, right?”

“Pft-”

Someone burst out laughing. They had seen Sima You Yue’s furnace before. Although it wasn’t really torn and tattered, it was like mud as compared to theirs.

Sima You Yue looked around her. Were they all really waiting to make a joke out of her?

With a single thought, she brought out the furnace that was inside her spirit pagoda.

“Boom-”

The heavy furnace caused the ground to shake. If the ground were not made of solid stone, it might have cracked.

“The Auspicious Dragon Phoenix!” Shen Ye Xuan cried out.

“Auspicious Dragon Phoenix? The Auspicious Dragon Phoenix that is ranked top ten? Xuan Xuan, you couldn’t have gotten it wrong, right?” Song Ming Zhu dared not believe it.

“That’s definitely it! I’ve seen it before in a text.” Shen Ye Xuan said.

“Didn’t they say that the Auspicious Dragon Phoenix has been missing for many years?”

“Our clan has been searching for it for many years. Who would have thought that it would be in his hands!” Shen Ye Xuan said.

She was not the only one. The others were filled with surprise as well. They didn’t think that she would possess a furnace like that.

Sima You Yue saw how surprised they were and was glad that they had taken out this furnace. If she took the other two out, they would have been even more surprised.

Although she didn’t know the names of the other two furnaces, their ranks were even higher than the Auspicious Dragon Phoenix and were definitely ranked a lot higher.

These furnaces all belonged to Little Spirit’s past owners. Because she had been too weak in the past, she was unable to control them properly and had to use the average ancient furnaces. As she got stronger, she began to use the Auspicious Dragon Phoenix.

Shen Ye Xuan and the others were beyond themselves with surprise. However, they quickly returned to their senses and began to prepare their own medicinal ingredients.

They had to pay close attention to the pills that they were going to refine today. If the rank of their pill was too low, they would lose to those who had pills ranked higher than theirs. If their rank was too high, they may not be able to refine it successfully.

Actually, everyone’s strength was comparable. It was already amazing for them to be able to refine a seventh ranked pill when they were less than a hundred years old. It was impossible if they wanted to refine an eighth-ranked pill. However, one could not rule out the possibility of a perverse genius.

That was why their choices were either a low, middle or highly ranked seventh ranked pill based on their own abilities.

Sima You Yue was not anxious about what pill she would have to pick. She first looked around at what ingredients everyone else chose before guessing what pill they were going to refine. When she saw Mo Yu and Shen Ye Xuan’s pill ingredients, her eyes shone.

After thinking it through carefully, she took out her own ingredients and filled the table with ingredients. They were piled high like a mountain.

“Why would Yue Yue use so many ingredients? Others have a lot less ingredients than she does.” Little Seven often watched them refine pills, so she had a bit of understanding.

She had a lot more ingredients than anyone else, which meant that she would take a lot more time to purify it, fuse and bind it. It was also more unstable and more likely to fail.

That was why the others chose pills that needed less ingredients. They were thinking about taking the lead in terms of time.

“She always has a reason for doing things. Let’s just continue watching.” Han Miao Shuang looked at Sima You Yue’s chosen ingredients and her heart beat exceptionally fast.

Was she going to…

Pills of the same rank and type would be affected by the time they took to complete it. This was something everyone understood. Since everyone’s ability was around the same level, it was important to finish first. Once they finished making their preparations, they began to refine their pills one by one.

Sima You Yue was the same. Once she finished inspecting her ingredients, she began the purification process.

Purification was not a problem for all of them. At the same time, it wasn’t difficult to manage these pill ingredients. After an hour had passed everyone had completed the purification process.

It was during the purification process that people started to pull away from each other. The difference between the fast and slow ones was about ten types of essences.

Sima You Yue carefully controlled the situation inside her furnace, which was why she was a lot slower than the others. When the others had finished this step, she was barely close to one third of the way done.

“Look, I just said that having too many ingredients would slow him down!” Little Seven was agitated and started to worry for Sima You Yue.

“Relax, Junior Brother will be fine.” Su Xiao Xiao said.

Once Sima You Yue had finished her fusion process, fragrant medical smells already started to waft from the furnaces of the others. This proved that they had already successfully completed their pill refinement. As long as nothing unexpected happened, their pills would have been successfully refined.

Very quickly, someone cried out loudly and opened the lid. Raising his hand, he slapped the side of the ancient furnace and two pills flew out as he caught it deftly in his palm.
