There was only a single word of difference between elixir and weapon refinent on the surface, but in reality, there was a huge difference.
Weapon refinent required a high level of spirit fire.
The higher the level of spirit fire, the higher the efficiency and outco of the slting process where impurities were purged.
However, it was different for elixir refinent.
Elixir refinent placed a huge emphasis on the mastery of spirit fire.
That was because spirit herbs were different from the materials used for weapons and they had a low burning point. Even a Level 1 Spirit Fire could refine most of the spirit herbs.
In elixir refinent, there were two extraction processes which required a precise mastery of the spirit fire’s temperature.
If the temperature was too high, the spirit herbs would be burned to a crisp.
If it was too low, one would not be able to extract the essences of the spirit herbs.
While elixir refinent did not require spirit gathering, it required an in-depth knowledge towards the thousands of spirit herbs out there.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more complex the recipe was and the more things one would be required to rember. The true top-tier Elixir Refinent Grandmasters even had to morize millions of spirit herbs.
In the empty space, the Elixir Refinent Master from True Fire Elixir Workshop, He Xing, had a Level 2 Spirit Fire and a proficient mastery of it as well.
Su Xiaoning only had a Level 1 Spirit Fire but she was not weaker in terms of temperature control.
The two of them were refining an extrely common elixir – Spirit Regeneration Elixir.
There were three grades to the Spirit Regeneration Elixir and it was used for recovering spirit energy. Naturally, the difference in grade affected the effect of the elixirs.
Both of them were refining Grade 2 Spirit Regeneration Elixirs and there were up to 28 different types of spirit herbs required in the recipe!
Of the 28 herbs, a mistake in a single stalk of herb would result in a failure of elixir formation.
He Xing’s technique was evidently slightly more brilliant.
However, that person’s gaze was extrely evil and would fall on Su Xiaoning’s body from ti to ti, scanning her from head to toe boldly.
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and a killing intent flashed.
Sensing sothing, Nian Qi looked at Su Zimo with a strange manner before turning to Su Xiaoning in deep thoughts.
“He Xing’s elixir refinent techniques are decent but his thods are sowhat despicable.”
A cultivator from the crowd muttered.
Soone else covered the forr’s mouth imdiately. “Hush! Softer, lest you get yourself into trouble!”
The spectators were clear.
Most cultivators could tell that He Xing’s intention of looking at Su Xiaoning that way during elixir refinent was to disrupt her ntal state!
The greatest taboo of elixir refinent was to get distracted.
Be it during extraction or formation, one’s efforts would go to waste the mont they were slightly distracted.
However, Su Xiaoning was seemingly oblivious to He Xing’s provocation as she extracted the ingredients in her hands with focus ticulously. She was careful and her focus moved the crowd.
To everyone, it was clear that Su Xiaoning’s technique in elixir refinent was inferior to He Xing’s.
However, her focus was countless tis stronger than his!
Su Zimo nodded silently in satisfaction.
“What grudge do these two have with one another? Why are they challenging one another in elixir refinent here?”
Su Zimo glanced at a cultivator beside him and asked softly.
The person answered, “Actually, it’s nothing much either. I heard that it’s because of an Elixir Furnace. This lady cultivator from Azure Frost Sect took a liking to it first and had already paid for it in spirit stones. However, He Xing ca across it and insisted on paying double to buy the Elixir Furnace. Because the lady cultivator was unwilling, both parties bore a grudge then.”
“Later on, He Xing kept trying to cause trouble for this lady cultivator ti and again. Annoyed by it, she agreed to this elixir refinent challenge.”
Su Zimo frowned. “That lady is an Elixir Refinent Master from Azure Frost Sect, but her sect mates are alright with her being bullied by soone from True Fire Elixir Workshop?”
“I don’t know about that.”
The person shook his head. “However, He Xing cos from a strong background and he’s the most promising Elixir Refinent Master of his generation in True Fire Sect. His brother, He Jiang, is said to be extrely strong and is the number one of all Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in True Fire Sect. He’s definitely going to make the top ten of the spirit ranking list in this sect competition!”
“Of the He Brothers, one is strong in elixir refinent and the other has terrifying combat strength. They are famous and hold a high status in True Fire Sect. I reckon that the head of Azure Frost Elixir Workshop must be trying to avoid trouble between the two sects and does not want to offend He Xing.”
Su Zimo nodded expressionlessly.
In this short while, He Xing and Su Xiaoning were already at the fourth step of elixir refinent, the secondary extraction.
Seeing that Su Xiaoning was indifferent, He Xing’s gaze got even more daring and he gave off a series of strange laughters.
Su Xiaoning seed oblivious to it and stared at the Elixir Furnace before her intently, using her spirit fire to control the temperature of the flas before purging the impurities in the combined essence of the spirit herbs bit by bit.
He Xing stood there laughing non-stop.
Su Xiaoning remained silently, rely focusing on her elixir refinent. It was as if she was imrsed in her refinent process and had forgotten that she was surrounded by people.
The difference in strength between the both sides was obvious!
He Xing was stronger than Su Xiaoning in terms of elixir refinent technique.
But now, in everyone’s eyes, He Xing was just like a clown.
The warm sunlight shone on the girl’s body, as if she radiated with a glow as colorful lights appeared.
The girl’s nose was sharp and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead that glistened in a beautiful manner.
At this mont, a thought flashed through everyone’s minds.
This was truly elixir refinent.
This was how Elixir Refinent Masters should be like.
In the hands of that lady, elixir refinent seed to possess a soul and a life of its own.
She was not refining elixirs, but giving birth to a brand new life.
Looking at the lady refine elixirs, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude as they found themselves imrsed in the world of Elixir Refinent Masters, witnessing the birth of a new life.
Right then, Su Zimo smiled.
He smiled brightly.
Xiaoning had finally found her path.
Su Zimo had dabbled in elixir refinent as well and had even obtained number one of Elixir Peak back in Ethereal Peak.
But at this mont, he could not help but admit that he was far inferior to his sister in terms of elixir refinent!
What he knew was the basics of elixirs.
However, what Xiaoning knew was the truth of elixirs!
Gradually, an invisible aura ford around Su Xiaoning, growing stronger by the mont.
This was the aura of a top-tier Elixir Refinent Master!
He Xing’s expression changed.
Under the repression of Su Xiaoning’s aura, his heart was in a ss and his flas fluttered, almost burning the herbal essence in his Elixir Furnace!
Taking a deep breath, He Xing composed himself and focused on his elixir refinent.
However, it was too late by then.
Su Xiaoning was a step faster in ending the secondary extraction!
A fragrant dicinal aroma wafted out of the Elixir Furnace. Everyone around them could feel invigorated and the spirit energies within their bodies stirred.
Su Xiaoning closed her eyes and rested for a while. By the ti she opened them, her gaze was resolute as she began on elixir formation.
At that mont, He Xing was just done with his secondary extraction.
While there was also a dicinal aroma floating out of He Xing’s Elixir Furnace, it was faint and no one felt anything from sniffing it.
If nothing unexpected happened, Su Xiaoning’s elixir would definitely be better than He Xing’s after the formation process!
Through the dicinal aroma, the surrounding Elixir Refinent Masters could already vaguely tell that Su Xiaoning’s elixir might even be a perfect elixir with five elixir patterns!
