Chapter 609 Abnormal Examination
"Good! Good! Good!" The princess mixed in with the crowd, shouting loudly and even whistling twice.
"Haha, so powerful." The princess excitedly grabbed the guard beside her and shouted, "Look at him! Look at him! Why hasn't our empire produced such a talented person?"
However, the applause was too loud, and the princess' words were quickly drowned in the sound waves.
Show your face! This was too much of a show!
The local people of Burst of Light City felt extremely proud. At this Pill Martial Meeting, the The Dark Underworld Sect had proved to the world that they were unshakable!
However, only the Xuanming Sect elders knew what was going on. Their faces were filled with envy.
An elder sighed with emotion, "Senior Brother Half Gourd is truly lucky to have such a miraculous disciple."
"Yeah, it's really enviable." Another elder shook his head, feeling bitter in his heart.
"Hey, that woman, what else do you have to say now!"
"That's right. Didn't you say that he cheated? Now that people use your forging furnace and materials to forge weapons, what are you going to do?"
The crowd immediately followed suit.
The girl from the Ghost Sect gnashed her teeth angrily. After a while, she sneered, "My Profound Dao technique is unpredictable. You only know how to forge weapons, and you're complacent?"
"It must be known that this artifact forging is only a method within the profound dao."
"Congratulations?" Xiang Nan pointed at his nose and laughed loudly, "It's like I insisted on acting. Didn't you ask me to do this on your own initiative?"
"Alright, alright, alright, alright!" The girl from the Ghost Sect was so angry that she couldn't say a word, and she didn't know how to retaliate.
"Half an hour has passed. Please hurry up."
At this time, an elder reminded the contestants of the time before everyone reacted and hurriedly started forging.
Three hours later, the entire Pill Martial Meeting eliminated a total of 500 participating disciples, leaving only 200 or so. They barely managed to pass the exam.
The five people from the Ghost Sect were indeed formidable. They finished forging in two hours, ranked closely behind Xiang Nan, and obtained terrifying results from second to sixth place.
But even so, the second place Ghost Gate woman took an hour and forty minutes. Her second place was much weaker than Xiang Nan's first place.
Amidst the bustling cheers, the smelting session ended.
More than five hundred contestants left the arena, and two hundred contestants entered the next stage, concocting pills.
In terms of difficulty, refining pills was another level higher than refining weapons.
After all, the refining materials were dead, and the pill refining materials were alive. Plants could also be considered living creatures.
The enthusiasm of the spectators had risen to a new level.
Although the refined pills would not be given to the audience, everyone was still shouting excitedly.
The Xuanming Sect Elder announced the rules.
In the pill refining process, the contestants had to use a single pill refining material to refine at least three Tier 5 pills and advance to the top 50 under an unlimited amount of time.
In other words, one batch of three pills!
Low-grade pills were easy to achieve. A batch of over a hundred pills was not new.
However, the higher the grade, the harder it would be to produce more pills. This was especially true for Tier 5 pills. To be able to concoct a complete pill in one batch was considered quite good, let alone three pills.
What was even more abnormal was that the pill recipe given by the Xuanming Sect was a Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill.
The Rejuvenation Pill was one of the most common and best-practiced pills, but there had never been a fifth-grade terrifying rejuvenation pill on the market.
Normally, Rejuvenating Spring Pills were only second-grade pills. Even if they were rare in third-grade pills, fourth-grade pills were even rarer. As for fifth-grade pills, Xiang Nan had never even heard of them.
"Ha!" The disciples of the Ghost Sect were exceptionally happy.
The Ghost Sect girl said excitedly, "Great, I didn't expect to get a Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill recipe this time. This is one of the exclusive secrets of the Dark Nether Sect!"
Another Ghost Sect disciple was also very happy, "Not bad, this is indeed a big harvest."
"Ah, something's wrong." Xiang Nan looked at the pill recipe and was originally very happy. After he remembered the pill recipe, he would be able to refine a Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill in the future. This grade of Rejuvenation Pill would definitely have an extremely terrifying healing effect.
However, the more he looked at it, the more suspicious it was. The ingredients required for a Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill were all rare in the world. This was true.
However, the pill recipe said that it required 150 kinds of spirit herbs to refine the Spring Restoration Pill, but the Profound Underworld Sect only provided 159 kinds of ingredients.
This pill recipe didn't give the names of 150 spiritual herbs, only the refining methods.
In other words, nine of the herbs were wrong! You need to remove it yourself.
"My God" Xiang Nan took a deep breath.
If there was only one spiritual herb that was superfluous, then if he tried it one by one, he would have to try it at most 151 times!
Now that there were nine types of spiritual herbs, it would be a large-scale project if they were to try them out one by one in a stupid way.
The most troublesome thing was that the The Dark Underworld Sect only provided five sets of spirit herbs to each contestant! In other words, if he failed five times, he would never have a chance again.
"This kind of test is simply abnormal difficulty." Xiang Nan was stunned.
The other disciples also noticed this situation. In an instant, the entire Pill Martial Grand Meeting was filled with sorrow.
The Xuanming Sect elder put his hands behind his back and smiled, "An outstanding alchemist not only needs to grasp powerful alchemy skills, but also needs to grasp a full understanding of spiritual herbs."
The Ghost Gate woman said angrily, "You are clearly deliberately making things difficult for us!"
"Your Xuanming Sect is afraid of failure, so let's just let everyone fail together! Heh, what a good method."
The tone of the Ghost Gate woman's voice was filled with mockery.
The Xuanming Sect elder said indifferently, "If you can't do it yourself, don't blame others for being too talented."
"What are you talking about!" The girl from the Ghost Sect was furious.
At this moment, Xiang Nan had already begun to distinguish between the spiritual herbs.
"Sixth Grade Hemostatic Grass, Sixth Grade Tarsal Bone Flower, Sixth Grade Snake Blood Flower, Sixth Grade …"
"Tsk." Xiang Nan was speechless. These kinds of spirit herbs were also very common. They were sold on the market, but most of them were first or second grade. If a third grade spirit herb appeared, it would be very precious.
But now, all of the spirit herbs he had obtained were of the sixth grade. In other words, these spirit herbs were at least 100,000 years old.
"The key is, how do we distinguish which spiritual herbs are right and which are wrong?"
Xiang Nan lowered his head and quietly displayed his Lightning Photoelectric Eyes.
Under his scrutiny, one hundred and fifty-nine types of spiritual herbs, all of them emanating spiritual energy.
It turned out that all the spirit herbs were real, which increased the difficulty.
Which of the nine wrong herbs were they?
Xiang Nan fell into deep thought.
The entire Pill Martial Meeting had also entered a stalemate. Up until now, no one had dared to refine pills.
A Tier 5 Rejuvenation Pill required far more ingredients than an ordinary Rejuvenation Pill.
