Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The second event entered hell-mode right from the outset.
Most competitors were overco with a feeling of despair. However, there were so who were excited about the challenge. There were also so who were extrely confident.
For example, the three favorites for first place. Right now, all three of them wore a smile on their faces.
“Very well. By refining a fourth-rank spirit pill, we’ll be able to show off our true skills!” The transparent blue female nodded in satisfaction.
Then, she turned her gaze toward the nearby Xu Xiaolan. “Look,” she said and chuckled. “That human female is paralyzed to the spot. She’s been scared silly, hasn’t she? Did she think she could win by refining a fifth-rank spirit pill?”
Black Sword Lord shook his head. “Humans are all like this. They climb up a single mountain peak, and they think they’ve reached the summit. They fail to understand what a truly large mountain is like. The present her is definitely wallowing in despair. Kekeke… What a delightful sight.”
“Xu Xiaolan will probably co to grips with this brutal reality soon. Let’s concentrate on our own tasks first. A fourth-rank spirit pill is no walk in the park for us,” Ban Yue said in an ethereal voice, and a green fla suddenly jumped out from the green crescent behind her back.
The green fla radiated with a rich aura of vitality. This fla could increase a pill’s confluency and spirituality, and it could also increase a pill’s quality!
The three beings stopped looking at Xu Xiaolan, and they turned their attention back to pill refinent.
The spectators also launched into heated discussions when they saw the unmoving Xu Xiaolan. There was doubt, there was bewildernt, and there was also disappointnt.
It wasn’t that Xu Xiaolan didn’t know how to refine fourth-rank spirit pills. Rather, she was pondering over which fla to use. Theoretically speaking, it would be better to use the Mutant Blood Phoenix Fla when refining the Spirit Rejuvenation Pill. This was because flas that possessed the power of life would provide buffs to spirit pills of the life category.
However, she was afraid that she didn’t have enough control over that fla.
After all, she had only received that fla not long ago. She was still unfamiliar with it, and it would be a sha if she stuffed up.
Never mind… It’s not like I have to fight for the first place. I’ll just strive to make it into the top five!
Xu Xiaolan started her pill refinent. She stuck with the fla that she was most familiar with—Golden Phoenix Fla!
There had been thousands of competitors before, so very few people had witnessed Xu Xiaolan’s pill refinent.
Now, however, she was at the center of widespread attention. The fla that she released flickered with divine might, and its purity was incredibly high. The crisp cries of phoenixes were also vaguely discernible. This fla was resplendent and noble.
The appearance of this fla created a huge stir among the spectators.
“My God… What am I seeing?! This purity, this intent realm… Is this a divine fla?”
“Who would’ve thought? She possesses a divine fla at such a young age… Her future is limitless!”
“Just then, so many of you were still questioning her abilities. Co on, where are you now? Is she an attention-seeker, hah? Even if she fails to refine a fourth-rank spirit pill, she’s already shown that she can refine a fifth-rank pinnacle stage spirit pill. Based on this, and the fact that she possesses a divine fla, she’s definitely going to beco a first-rate pill refiner in the future!”
So of the spectators fell silent. Others felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
The ten Pill Tower elders were also surprised and delighted upon seeing Xu Xiaolan release her divine fla. They entered into a heated discussion.
“Such a good talent! She’s mine!”
“Bullsh*t! Ling Yan, aren’t you taking Ban Yue in as your disciple? Why are you suddenly changing your mind now?”
“Heh, who doesn’t want a good disciple? Others mightn’t be able to tell, but how can we not tell? Put in the past, Xu Xiaolan’s pill refinent ability would be championship material. Right now, apart from that person, who else can’t she beat?”
…
Just as Xu Xiaolan attracted widespread attention, An Lin also attracted the attention of one being. That’s right, he attracted the attention of that male dragon, Grey!
Grey rested an arm on his pill refinent cauldron and stood in a relaxed pose. He picked his nose and chuckled. “An Lin, why don’t you hurry up and start refining? I’m waiting for you to beco the champion! I’m waiting to see you walk toward the pinnacle of life!”
An Lin grimaced. Having a retard continually taunt him was an incredibly horrible experience. So be it if he could flex and throw a few jabs of his own. However, the point was that he couldn’t right now.
Most competitors who had advanced to the second round were of the Spirit Gathering Stage.
There were very few pill refiners of the Fla Mastery Pinnacle Stage. Moreover, they had all resigned from the competition.
There was only one Fla Mastery Stage pill refiner who hadn’t resigned—An Lin.
Forget about it… I’ll go for broke!
An Lin gritted his teeth and released the Mutant Blood Phoenix Fla.
Boom!
The blood-colored fla raged through his pill refinent cauldron.
Grey—who was just about to taunt An Lin again—jumped up in fright.
His eyes bulged in shock. “T-this… This is a… divine fla?!”
“Is this anything to be surprised about?” An Lin blinked as if confused.
“This is a divine fla! A fla that pill refiners dream of! One can only obtain such a fla if they’re powerful and encounter great fortunes! How co you possess such a fla?!” Grey’s face distorted in jealousy.
“Oh, so divine flas are this bad*ss?” An Lin continued sifting through the ingredients as he spoke. “I seriously can’t understand why weaklings like you are shocked by these kinds of things. I still have several other divine flas that I haven’t released yet…”
Grey shuddered involuntarily. “Are we really living in the sa world?” he spat through gritted teeth. “How can you be like this… I’m going to kill you!”
An Lin rolled his eyes. He ignored the retarded dragon and started placing the chosen ingredients into his pill refinent cauldron. Then, he manipulated the Mutant Blood Phoenix Fla and started refining the ingredients.
He knew that refining a ninth-rank spirit pill was already his limit. However, this didn’t an that he was going to give up. Facing this challenge head-on, and then failing with dignity, was also a decent choice.
He started refining his pill.
The higher ranked a pill, the harder it would be to extract and fuse the essence of the ingredients.
An Lin took great care with everything that he did. His attention was extrely focused. Although he didn’t release his divine sense, it stimulated every part of his body and made sure that he remained in an optimal condition.
Grey watched on from the side. For so reason, he felt like An Lin was becoming more and more capable. It appeared as if An Lin’s pill refinent skills were better than his…
“M-hm… He’s starting to extract the essence of the second-rank spirit herb, the Eternal Youth Grass,” Grey murmured. “Based on his ability, he won’t be able to succeed.”
Although he said this, the black dragon couldn’t shift his gaze from An Lin.
For so reason, a peculiar feeling welled up in his heart when he saw An Lin’s tenacious expression.
I need to extract the essence of the Eternal Youth Grass now…
An Lin manipulated the flas with his fingers as he focused his attention.
Extracting the essence of second-rank spirit herbs was difficult even for experienced pill refiners of the Spirit Gathering Stage, let alone a pill refiner of the Fla Mastery Stage.
Concentrate… Concentrate… Carefully strip it off…
Sh*t!
The Eternal Youth Grass is about to crumble! Crap! The flas are too hard to control!
An Lin felt powerless for the first ti in this competition.
If this continued, his ingredients would be ruined!
Who can help …
As though it had heard his cry for help, the soaring vermilion bird in An Lin’s sea of vital energy raised its head.
“Want to teach you pill refinent? Don’t resist, I’ll help you!”
An amiable yet unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in An Lin’s mind.
An Lin was slightly dazed. Then hurry up and co help !?he replied instinctively.
Boom!
An Lin shuddered. When he reopened his eyes, it appeared as if there were a flaming vermilion bird soaring through his black and white eyes.
He made a grabbing motion at the Eternal Youth Grass. The blood-colored fla suddenly beca gentle and obedient, and it slowly dismbered the shell of the spirit herb.
Essence of the Eternal Youth Grass, perfectly extracted!
