Chapter 529: Chapter 213: This ti, it’s stable
“`
“You…”
Ji Ling was montarily choked up and unable to speak upon hearing this.
anwhile, Lin Jue no longer paid attention to Ji Ling and took out the Pill Furnace to begin preparations for alchemy.
Ji Ling originally wanted to say sothing else, but seeing that Lin Jue was no longer paying him any heed and had started preparing for alchemy, he suddenly felt a wave of frustration.
This feeling of being ignored was unbearable.
“Huff…”
Ji Ling then took a deep breath and exhaled after a mont before he managed to calm himself down sowhat.
Subsequently, Ji Ling spoke to Lin Jue:
“Then let’s wait and see…”
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Lin Jue and started to process the Spirit Plants in front of him.
Both Lin Jue and Ji Ling were Fourth Grade Alchemists who had been practicing the Alchemy Dao for decades; whether in handling Spirit Plants or alchemy techniques, they were both exceedingly proficient.
Their progress was naturally quick, and it was not long before they had both finished processing all the Spirit Plants required for the crafting of the Green Spirit Pills.
Next.
Both almost simultaneously invoked their flas.
The flas Lin Jue cultivated were from the Divine Fire Triple Realm passed down by Lin Jing, and furthermore, Lin Jing had found an Earthfla Marrow Crystal for Lin Jue to upgrade his Divine Fire Triple Realm to the second level.
Therefore.
Lin Jue’s fla, just like Lin Jing’s, was also purple in color.
On the other side, Ji Ling’s fla was black, and even from afar, Lin Jing could still feel the scorching heat emanating from that black fla.
That black fla must also be a special type of fla, and it seed to be slightly more formidable than the second level of the Divine Fire Triple Realm.
Next.
Both simultaneously opened their Pill Furnaces and began to insert the alchemy ingredients…
Only when the Pill Furnace was opened did Lin Jing notice that Ji Ling’s unassuming-looking Pill Furnace had circulating Dao patterns inside, appearing rather extraordinary.
If Lin Jing’s guess was correct, that Pill Furnace should also be a Magical Treasure; even if it wasn’t as exceptional as Lin Jing’s Cloud Pattern Purple Gold Furnace, it probably wasn’t too far off.
It seed the Grand Elder of the Xingluo Elixir Sect’s Elixir Hall was quite indulgent towards his grandson.
To have provided such a fine alchemy furnace at the Golden Core Stage…
In comparison, Lin Jue’s Pill Furnace was sowhat ordinary.
Lin Jue’s Pill Furnace was the one Lin Jing had bought for her in Bihai City before he was tricked into the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.
It was just a superior grade Magical Treasure, which, although sufficient for crafting Fourth Grade Elixir dicine, was still quite inferior to Ji Ling’s Pill Furnace.
A good fla can lt dicinal ingredients faster, condense Elixir dicine, and make the process of alchemy easier for the Alchemist.
And a good Pill Furnace is even more crucial, as it can increase the success rate of alchemy.
If the alchemy skills of Lin Jue and Ji Ling weren’t much different, with the boost from that Pill Furnace and the black fla, Ji Ling could be said to have at least a seventy percent chance of crafting superior Elixir dicine and winning this wager.
But the reality was sowhat different.
For an Alchemist in the process of alchemy, in addition to the levels of alchemy skill, the Pill Furnace, and the flas, the external environnt and the individual’s ntal state also have significant impacts.
Both erging from the sa alchemy room, the differences in their external environnts were minor, naturally nothing to comnt on.
However, in terms of ntal state, Lin Jue was at this point oblivious to the outside world, completely imrsed in her work.
And that Ji Ling…
Perhaps because he was too anxious, during this ti, Ji Ling kept raising his head to look over at Lin Jue, checking on her alchemy progress.
Ji Xiyue watched Ji Ling, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“`
When an alchemist refines elixirs, being distracted is a major taboo. Normally, Ji Ling would never allow himself such distractions, but perhaps today, after Lin Jue caught him off guard with a remark, he’s had a knot in his chest that he hasn’t vented.
That’s why he was paying so much attention to Lin Jue.
Even though Ji Xiyue knew it was wrong, she didn’t speak up to remind him.
After all, this was a wager battle. If Ji Ling lost to his opponent because of his ntal state, it would prove that he was not yet qualified to be called a true alchemist.
If he lost, there would naturally be nothing to say.
……
After both participants had thrown the spirit plants into the pill furnace in order, they then sealed the furnace to comnce the true alchemy process.
Up to this point, neither of them had made a single mistake.
Once the true alchemy began, Ji Ling no longer paid any attention to Lin Jue and concentrated on refining his elixir.
It wasn’t until this mont that Ji Xiyue’s furrowed brows began to relax slightly.
Sure enough, being able to achieve the rank of a Fourth Grade alchemist, Ji Ling’s ntality wasn’t as fragile as one would think.
As ti slowly passed, the gap between Lin Jue and Ji Ling began to slowly erge…
With a dao-grade pill furnace and the black flas, Ji Ling was obviously refining at a faster pace than Lin Jue.
Although Lin Jue practiced the alchemy techniques of an ancient alchemy family, the thods of the Xingluo Elixir Sect were not much different.
But with the disparity between their furnaces and flas, their alchemy speeds began to pull apart bit by bit.
As ti flowed, another four hours passed.
By this ti, within Ji Ling’s pill furnace, the scent of elixirs had begun to waft out, indicating that the elixir was a success and almost ready.
At this mont, Lin Jue was still controlling the flas, refining the liquid dicine within his furnace.
As the aroma of the elixir spread, the final step of condensing the elixir began.
Ji Ling, too, paid no mind to the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, gathering more spiritual power to intensify the furnace’s flas for the final condensing.
…
…
A quarter of an hour later, the elixir dicine was complete.
At that mont, Ji Ling stood up, retracted the black flas, and eagerly opened the pill furnace to retrieve the elixirs within.
Yan Ming, acting as the judge, stepped forward at this point to take the elixir dicine from Ji Ling’s hands, then brought it over to Lin Jing and the others.
“One superior, two dium grade, and one low grade…”
As Yan Ming spoke, he also displayed the elixirs for everyone to inspect.
Ji Xiyue nodded lightly at the sight of the elixirs Ji Ling had refined, seeming quite satisfied with the results.
Being a newly promoted Fourth Grade alchemist like Lin Jue, it truly was comndable for Ji Ling to have refined a fourth-rank superior spirit pill at this ti.
Having completed the alchemy and even producing a superior grade Qingling Elixir, Ji Ling now looked rather smug as he turned his attention to Lin Jue, who was still in the midst of alchemy.
He was just waiting to see Lin Jue’s play…
It was just then that the scent of elixirs began to erge from Lin Jue’s pill furnace as well.
Lin Jue quickly operated his cultivation technique, gathering more spiritual power to make the flas at the bottom of the furnace even more vigorous, comncing the final step of elixir condensation.
After another quarter of an hour had passed, Lin Jue’s elixir dicine was also finally complete.
Yan Ming walked over at this point.
When Lin Jue opened his furnace, the scent of the elixir imdiately intensified, filling the entire alchemy room.
Lin Jing also slled the aroma of the elixir and the corners of his mouth curled lightly into a faint smile…
“This ti, it’s in the bag…”
