Chapter 1223: Chapter 1222: Vomiting Blood Chapter 1223: Chapter 1222: Vomiting Blood Since several of the herbs needed to refine the Cloud Dream Pill conflicted with one another, great care was required during the process. They could not be mixed together for refining, otherwise, the pill refining would fail.
When Fang Lin indiscriminately dumped all the herbs into the Pill Furnace, many Pill Alliance Pill Refiners thought Fang Lin was about to perform Shaking Three Mountains.
Shaking Three Mountains, while an exceedingly brilliant Ancient Alchemy Skill that many wished to witness, was not suitable for refining every type of pill. For example, it could not be used for Cloud Dream Pills.
Fortunately, Fang Lin didn’t make that rather basic mistake common among Pill Refiners.
Fang Lin’s Waves of Tenfold Fla was different from Jade Qincheng’s in several ways, but the most significant difference lay in the thod of use.
For Jade Qincheng’s Waves of Tenfold Fla, the herbs were refined one after another in a sequential fire wave process, after being tempered in one wave before proceeding to the next.
On the other hand, Fang Lin divided the herbs into ten parts, each entering a separate wave of fla, simultaneously refining in the tenfold flas.
As for those herbs with conflicting properties, they were carefully assigned to different flas, thus avoiding any conflict.
Jade Qincheng looked at Fang Lin’s Waves of Tenfold Fla with an expression of bewildernt. Her confidence was shaken, and she found herself doubting her own technique.
“Could it be that his execution is the true Waves of Tenfold Fla?” Jade Qincheng couldn’t help but question herself.
But soon, Jade Qincheng regained her composure. After all, she was the most outstanding young Pill Refiner of the Seven Seas Taoist Sect. If she were to be so easily unsettled just because soone else used the sa technique, she wouldn’t deserve to be called the top young Pill Refiner of the Seven Seas Pill Pulsar.
“All I need to do is to refine my pills successfully, without concerning myself with others,” Jade Qincheng took a deep breath, stopped looking over at Fang Lin, and focused on the task at hand.
At this point, it was a comparison of who had higher efficiency in pill refining.
Over at Jade Qincheng’s side, the first wave of fla had already rged with the second, moving on to the next step of refinent.
anwhile, Fang Lin’s tenfold flas showed no sign of activity, still individually refining the herbs within each fla.
It seed that Jade Qincheng was slightly ahead in the process.
Many from the Nine Countries beca worried once again. If they were to fall behind in the refining pace, it would be tantamount to losing half the battle. Falling behind was not a good sign.
However, most remained composed, knowing that this was just the beginning, and Fang Lin still had plenty of opportunity to catch up.
Ti ticked by, and it was now deep into the night. The night sky of Flat Sea City was dotted with countless stars, and the sound of the sea waves beyond the city was incessant, creating a charming scene.
Yet within Flat Sea City, the atmosphere was ablaze with fervor. The waves of fla spread over the city, illuminating this coastal city.
As ti passed, worry on the faces of the people from the Nine Countries grew, while the disciples of the Seven Seas Taoist Sect gradually showed signs of happiness.
“What’s happening? Why are we falling so far behind?”
“This isn’t good. If this continues, the difference in progress will be too significant.”
“Why is there such a big gap in the pill refining progress with the sa technique?”
“What in the world is Fang Lin thinking?”
…
At Jade Qincheng’s station, only the last three waves of fla remained in her Waves of Tenfold Fla, indicating that she was entering the final stages of pill refining, and not far from completing her pills.
In contrast, Fang Lin’s tenfold flas showed no change, still persisting at ten, with no variation. Even the herbs within each of the ten waves appeared unchanged, seemingly untouched by the refining process.
You must know that over at Jade Qincheng’s end, the dicinal materials had practically been refined into the most pure dicinal liquid. With this kind of progress in pill refining, the gap had already widened significantly.
How could the people of the Nine Countries not be anxious upon seeing such a situation?
The people of the Nine Countries were anxious, but those from the Taoist Sect of the Seven Seas were not. With Jade Qincheng leading by so much, it was basically like they had already won half the battle.
Taoist Chongyun’s expression softened, and he nodded slightly from ti to ti, the depths of his eyes twinkling with profound light.
Elder Tianjun watched everything happening on the array platform, his brow slightly furrowed, but his deanor remained relatively calm, without showing any significant emotional fluctuations.
This competition—compared to the three that took place during the dayti—was even more closely watched, with countless eyes from all around the Nine Countries watching.
Especially the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance as well as the Four Heaven Kings, who were practically monitoring the competition through various ans, without even blinking.
The Pill Alliance had suffered too great an embarrassnt today. If Fang Lin were to lose again, the Pill Alliance really wouldn’t be able to hold its head up anymore.
This was a competition to regain their dignity. If Fang Lin won, the Pill Alliance would only salvage so face; there wouldn’t be much to be happy about.
But if they lost, that would be the most terrifying outco. One defeat after another would cause the entire Nine Countries to lose all hope in the Pill Alliance.
Even the mbers of the Pill Alliance themselves would likely start to doubt and be disappointed with its vast organization.
One could say the Pill Alliance was gambling, staking the little face it had left on the abilities of a single individual, Fang Lin.
Suddenly, Fang Lin’s expression shifted, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the array platform.
Seeing this, the people from the Nine Countries cried out in shock, almost all of them showing an expression of tension and deep worry inside.
Elder Tianjun almost couldn’t help himself from rushing up to the array platform, but he managed to suppress the impulse, his face displaying a clear look of concern.
“Hahaha! This guy actually spat out blood.”
“This is the first ti I’ve ever seen soone refining pills to the point of vomiting blood.”
“Hehe, a sickling is always a sickling. What’s he trying to prove?”
“If this guy were to die right up there, that would be really sothing.”
…
So from the Taoist Sects spoke without restraint, imdiately drawing the angry glares of many Pill Alliance pill refiners, with so even rolling up their sleeves, wanting to teach these Taoist Sect people a lesson.
“Elder, perhaps we should terminate this competition. Your alliance’s talent seems to be unable to hold on any longer,” Taoist Chongyun said with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Elder Tianjun snorted coldly, “The Reverend should better manage your Taoist Sect people. Continue with this nonsense, and my Pill Alliance might not be too polite.”
“Hehe.” Taoist Chongyun chuckled coldly, waving his hand to signal his people not to be too presumptuous anymore. After all, this was the Pill Alliance’s turf, and if they truly angered them, their lives could end right here.
Moreover, they had bigger plans to consider, and they couldn’t afford any disturbances at this juncture. Otherwise, even in death, they would be despised by all within the Seven Seas and the three sects.
As long as Jade Qincheng smoothly won this competition, then all their subsequent actions would go very smoothly as well.
Fang Lin wiped the corner of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile. He truly couldn’t afford to overexert himself given the injury to his heart pulsar.
“Let’s just finish this quickly,” Fang Lin said, his eyes gleaming with determination.
