For many people present, high-quality dicinal pills were not uncommon.
However, top-grade pills were a rare sight.
There were very few people who could refine top-grade dicinal pills.
For most alchemists, refining top-grade pills required a combination of heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony, making it extrely difficult.
So alchemists spent their entire lives trying to refine a single top-grade pill, but to no avail.
As for superior-grade pills, they were even more elusive.
After all, soone like Su Jingzhen, who possessed extraordinary talent, was a rare find.
As the shock wore off, everyone beca extrely curious about the identity of the Alchemist Association’s female representative.
“This young lady must be a hidden genius of the Alchemist Association, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so unknown.”
“With just one batch of dicinal materials, she refined a top-grade Awakening Pill, and with Bai Xiu’s reputation and the other rising stars who didn’t attend today, it seems that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s alchemists still have a long way to go to truly rival the Alchemist Association.”
“…”
As the crowd and various powerful factions were still reeling in shock, Yao Changsheng, standing beside Vice President Ouyang, let out a bitter smile: “Vice President, is this the mysterious genius you’ve been ntoring?”
Upon hearing Yao Changsheng’s question, Vice President Ouyang’s small eyes glead with pride once more.
“It’s indeed my disciple, Ye Zhiqiu. She has been receiving guidance from within the Alchemist Association and is finally making her debut.”
Hearing this, Yao Changsheng’s eyes revealed a hint of envy.
Although refining dicinal pills often required a certain degree of luck, didn’t luck also depend on one’s abilities?
He knew that his own disciple, Liu Ming, was proud and ambitious, always striving to be the best. This ti, he must have been aiming to do his best as well.
Yet, he was still crushed by Ye Zhiqiu.
Moreover, Yao Changsheng could see that Ye Zhiqiu was likely younger than Liu Ming.
This gap in talent was likely insurmountable.
He had failed to catch up with the Alchemist Association in his lifeti, and looking at the current situation, it seed that the next generation would also be left in the dust.
At this mont, Xuening and Su Jingzhen on the alchemy platform also had a slightly solemn expression.
Even if Su Jingzhen hadn’t reminded Xuening earlier, allowing her to fully unleash her abilities, it would still be difficult to refine a top-grade pill.
In their eyes, this person’s alchemy skills might even surpass Xuening’s.
This was a formidable opponent!
After Vice President Ouyang finished reading out the first round’s rankings, Feng Li, still standing in mid-air, suddenly declared, “The first round is over. Please have the eliminated contestants step down, and the 50 who advanced will have a half-hour break. After the break, we will proceed directly to the second round!”
In reality, this break ti was unnecessary for most alchemists. However, those second-rate alchemists who had exhausted themselves earlier could be forgiven for feeling a bit fatigued.
During this half-hour break, Su Jingzhen and Xuening didn’t choose to step down and chat with Feng Qingya. After all, they had already made plans regarding alchemy.
Feng Qingya wasn’t an alchemist, so talking to her would be pointless. It was better for them to use this ti to discuss and explore further.
The eliminated alchemists walked down from the platform, leaving the area feeling rather empty. The remaining 50 pairs looked sparse and scattered.
“In a while, if we can refine the Rebirth Pill to high quality, we should be able to enter the top 10. But to be safe, we should also prepare a Breaking Through Adversity Pill. However, Xuening, do you have confidence in refining a superior-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill here?”
Xuening furrowed her brows, thinking for a mont before responding, “For the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, my success rate should be around 80%. But if I want to refine a superior-grade pill, I only have less than 20% confidence. To be honest, the fact that I refined a superior-grade pill earlier was largely due to luck.”
Su Jingzhen nodded, not finding this unexpected. After all, even he, Su Jingzhen, didn’t have a 100% success rate with the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
And without being in that peculiar environnt, he would also have a low probability of refining a superior-grade pill.
After a mont of contemplation, Su Jingzhen said, “We must try regardless. This alchemy conference has already exceeded my expectations, and these alchemists’ skills are higher than I thought. Especially those from the Alchemist Association, I feel like they haven’t fully unleashed their abilities yet. We can’t afford to be complacent and get eliminated in the next round.”
“Yes!”
Xuening nodded solemnly.
As the two of them discussed alchemy, ti flew by quickly.
The half-hour break was over in the blink of an eye.
“Gentlen, ti’s up. If you’re ready, I’ll announce the start of the second round of the Alchemy Conference. The ti limit remains two hours!”
As soon as Feng Li finished speaking, the alchemists below began to light their furnaces and prepare their dicinal materials.
Although two hours seed like a lot of ti, no one dared to guarantee success in one attempt.
Alchemy was a process where even the slightest mistake could lead to failure, and many had experienced such setbacks.
Therefore, it was essential to make the most of the ti available.
“Brother Su, according to our original plan, I’ll refine the Rebirth Pill on my own this ti,” Xuening said to Su Jingzhen before starting to sense the dicinal materials and entering a state of deep focus.
Su Jingzhen nodded, watching Xuening enter her state before taking a glance around the area.
This ti, he suddenly discovered that almost all the third-rate alchemists had brought out high-quality dicinal materials.
Perhaps, except for the top three, everyone had been holding back in the first round.
The level of these alchemists seed to be higher than Su Jingzhen had initially imagined.
His expression grew increasingly solemn.
At this point, Xuening had already entered her state, and he didn’t plan to disturb her.
After a mont’s thought, he directly took out his Black Mountain alchemy furnace and retrieved a batch of Breaking Through Adversity Pill dicinal materials.
He lit the furnace, sensed the dicinal materials, and instantly entered the refining process.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s actions, everyone who had been paying attention to them couldn’t help but feel surprised once again.
“Is he going to refine on his own? Or is he going to assist that little girl in refining dicinal materials?”
“This is interesting. I thought he was just a decoration.”
“However, his alchemy furnace looks quite good. Could it be that Miss Feng Qingya’s first alchemist wasn’t the strongest one?”
“…”
The crowd continued to speculate.
At this mont, Su Jingzhen’s actions had undoubtedly beco the focal point of the entire scene.
