Chapter 325: Unboxing
Liu Yun took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, “Junior sister, the Marrow Cleansing Pill that Xiao Huo refined is of supreme-grade.”
“Supreme-grade???” The woman was deeply shocked.
Although she did not know how to refine pills, she knew what it meant to be supreme-grade.
For the same type of spirit pill, as long as the name was prefixed with the word supreme-grade, the price would increase by multiple times. Of course, the medicinal effects of the spirit pill would also be multiplied.
“Junior sister, this is not the most shocking thing. The most frightening thing is Xiao Huo’s production rate.” Liu Yun looked frightened.
“You also saw it just now. Xiao Yan took out a large number of spirit pills.
“I counted carefully. There were at least thirty pills.
“That’s just too many.”
“According to the ten formulas given in the points-based competition, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is the hardest. One Marrow Cleansing Pill is ten points.
“He got more than 300 points in just his first refinement.
“The majority of the participants are refining spirit pills with a lower point value, and the spirit pills refined by those participants with the potential to become the champion are worth at most seven points each.
“If Xiao Huo is still refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill for his second refinement and his pill production rate is still this high, then he would definitely be within top three.”
Liu Yun looked very jealous.
The woman pondered deeply and said, “There’s still an hour until the end. Given Xiao Huo’s speed, he might be able to refine two more times.
“If he doesn’t fail, the total points accumulated from refining Marrow Cleansing Pills three times will be enough for him to clinch first place.”
Liu Yun shook his head. “Junior sister, you are thinking too simply.
“Do you think that pill forging doesn’t consume True Qi?
“The higher the grade of the spirit pill, the more True Qi it consumes.”
“Xiao Huo is only in the Qi Refinement realm. Refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill twice is already his limit. If he wants to do so three times, it is impossible unless he takes drugs.
“However, according to the competition rules, no drugs can be taken during the competition. Otherwise, it will be considered cheating.”
The woman said, “Then he can refine middle-grade spirit pills. That way, he can do so one more time.”
Liu Yun smiled and shook his head. While playing with the globes in front of the woman, he said, “Junior Sister, do you really think that other than Xiao Huo, there are no other formidable people in the Qi Refinement group?”
“For those who have the potential to become the champion, if they are in the Foundation Establishment realm, then our Foundation Establishment group will still have the chance of clinching first place.
“If Xiao Huo wishes to obtain a higher ranking, he can only refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
“After all, he had wasted half of his time.
If he were to refine other Spirit Pills, he wouldn’t stand a chance to get into the top three places.”
The woman nodded, not fully understanding. “Then in this competition, Xiao Huo will at most be in the top three.”
“Yes!” Liu Yun smiled and could not stop himself from pinching her cherries.
“Ah!” The woman shuddered as if she had peed. Her face flushed red, and she collapsed like an animal without bones.
…
Within the alchemy arena, Xiao Huo was like a pianist playing the piano. His hands crossed rapidly, and the medicinal ingredients around him danced like butterflies.
“Open!”
The lid of the furnace slowly opened, and the medicinal herbs flew in.
In an instant, the furnace was covered in flames.
Xiao Yan focused his mind and calmed his Qi. He controlled the flames in the furnace and began to refine the potency of the medicinal ingredients.
His refinement speed was very fast and different from others.
Other people would refine the medicinal ingredients one by one.
This was because different types of medicinal herbs had different medicinal effects.
If one wasn’t very familiar with the spirit pills they were working on right now and refined all ingredients together, mixing all kinds of medicinal effects together, they could fail easily.
The spirit pills of the points-based competition were all pills that the participants had never come into contact with before. Everyone wanted to fight for the rankings, so they didn’t dare to take the risk.
But Xiao Huo was different from everyone else.
He refined all the medicinal herbs together and wouldn’t differentiate them.
Soon, another half an hour passed.
There was less than half an hour left until the end of the competition.
The flames of the furnace in front of Xiao Huo dimmed. It was time to open the furnace.
Everyone was excited.
They saw that Xiao Huo’s entire refinement process was smooth and natural. There were no accidents. There was a high chance that he had succeeded.
The lid of the furnace opened, and the medicinal fragrance formed a column of green energy that shot into the skies.
Unsurprisingly, he succeeded again.
Xiao Huo controlled his True Qi hand and dug into the furnace, bringing out the crystal clear spirit pills.
“As expected, it’s still a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Furthermore, they’re still at the supreme-grade level.”
All the elders at the judging panel were stunned.
The audience was also seething with excitement.
Now, no one cared about Xiao Huo’s ranking.
With his two batches of supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills, he could crush all the participants.
The rankings were no longer important to him.
After Xiao Huo placed the Marrow Cleansing Pill into a jade bottle, he took a few deep breaths and then used the Flame Drawing Spell again and began refining pills once more.
At this moment, one could see the fatigue on his face.
After all, he was only in the Qi Refinement stage. Refining a spirit pill like the Marrow Cleansing Pill consumed too much True Qi.
For an ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator, two batches of Marrow Cleansing Pills was their limit.
The elders on the judging panel felt that it was a pity.
“If he started refining pills right from the start, he would’ve been first place.
“I really don’t understand why he started so late.”
“He’s a genius! His way of thinking is different.”
“However, he doesn’t have much True Qi left.
“The Marrow Cleansing Pill is impossible now.
“Even if he produces other spirit pills, they’re just so-so. Even if he does manage to refine them, he won’t be able to get first place. ”
“It no longer matters if he’s first or not. I’m curious what pill he has refined.”
At this point, Lu Guihua said, “Well I’m curious who taught him alchemy?”
With that said, the elders frowned and fell into deep thought.
Lu Guihua continued, “From the very beginning, this little fellow didn’t use the formula’s refinement steps, and his techniques are also very different from ours.”
An elder said, “Peak Master, do you mean that this Xiao Huo already knows how to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill?”
Lu Guihua said, “I’m not sure about that. But his techniques are clearly different from ours.
“If this is talent, then it was too ridiculous.
“The spiritual energy in the venue has yet to recover, so it’s impossible for such a heaven-defying talent to be born.”
“Then Peak Master, do you suspect that there is a master guiding this fellow?”
Lu Guihua nodded, “Yes. To be able to nurture such an outstanding person, the person behind him must not be simple!”
“Could it be Sect Master?” An elder had a flash of inspiration. “Look, Sect Master has disappeared for so long. Could he be secretly nurturing a genius like Xiao Huo?”
“I hope it is Sect Master.” Lu Guihua said meaningfully.
“Peak Master, you don’t think it’s Sect Master?”
“If it’s not the Sect Master, who could it be?
“We have only been cultivating for a short period of time. Other than the Sect Master, there is no one else who can nurture someone like Xiao Huo. ”
“Or do you suspect that the person behind Xiao Huo is from another place, Peak Master?”
Lu Guihua silently agreed.
“Peak Master, did you notice anything unusual when you spoke to Xiao Huo earlier?”
Lu Guihua said, “I didn’t consider this before, so I naturally didn’t pay attention.
“However, based on his performance in this points-based competition, we have to pay more attention to his identity.”
“Yes! If he’s from another place, then things would be different.”
…
In the arena, as time passed, the alchemy competition was coming to an end.
Most of the participants had stopped refining pills.
The remaining time was not enough for them to produce spirit pills.
“There are still three minutes left. If that’s not enough for you to produce pills, you can consider stopping,” the head referee said loudly.
Only a few people continued to work.
Xiao Huo was one of them.
Currently, his face was covered in sweat, and his face was pale. He was exhausted, and his movements were not as smooth as before.
Everyone knew that Xiao Huo did not have much True Qi left after two batches of Marrow Cleansing Pill. It would be very difficult to refine any more spirit pills.
However, Xiao Huo resolutely opened the furnace to continue doing so.
This drive was admirable, and it really attracted another group of fans.
“Sigh! Geniuses work so hard, what reason do we salted fish have to not work hard!”
Xiao Huo’s spirit of never giving up immediately encouraged many people.
Soon, it came to the final minute.
Xiao Huo let out a long sigh with a smile.
“Unboxing!”
