Ding!
Liu Feng's mouth curved upwards into a beaming smile. He took out a jade pill, and a blue light flew into the box.
Before anyone could do anything though, he closed off the furnace. Then, he put the jade box aside and turned around to see what was happening.
Four people had been eliminated already, while the others were about to reach an instrumental step.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
At that moment, five roars simultaneously came about. Even Liu Feng himself shook a little even though this attack was not directed towards him.
As for the alchemists themselves, they were not in a good shape.
Blast!
Blast!
The other two alchemists' furnace blasted, and they coughed out blood. Immediately, they fainted on the spot.
Seeing this, Liu Feng shook his head and flicked two streams of light towards the two of them. The lights split apart and each one went into the mouth of the alchemists who had fainted.
Their pale faces regained their rosy appearance, and they opened their eyes once more.
In a hurry, they stood up and cupped their hands.
"Thank you for your help." they said.
Liu Feng just nodded his head and looked at Bai Zhiqui, Ding Yan and Gu Hua.
This was the reason that he did not go through the same route. Even though it was going to take a little more Qi to complete this refinement, he did not want to get a shock like this.
Now, all of these people were trying their best to suppress any internal injuries that they might have incurred because if they did not continue to supply Qi into the furnace, this would be a failure.
Right now, only the three pill geniuses were still left in the round. All the others had been eliminated, and Liu Feng, an anamoly that no one expected, was the only one who was done with his pill refinement.
They were not completely in the right state of mind though. The fact that Liu Feng completed before them was not helping their concentration.
"Goddamn it. How could someone like that bastard finish before us?" Gu Hua gritted her teeth. At that moment, however, her hands faltered. There was a little imbalance in her suppressing the furnace, and all of a sudden, the will of the Snow Ape King came back to bite her.
"Aaargh!" she roared out, but it was too much to take. She coughed out blood, and her internal injuries that she had suffered surfaced once again.
Blast!
Her furnace blasted, and the sound almost startled Ding Yan and Bai Zhiqui. But they quickly composed themselves.
Gu Hua was falling to the ground in seemingly slow motion, when a man appeared right next to her and made sure that she would not fall on the ground.
"This pill meet is just a sham!" he exclaimed and disappeared from there with her in his hands.
To this, Master Mu just smiled faintly and looked at the arena once again.
Liu Feng was sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes.
"Looks like it is about to end." he finally sighed. His nose was particularly sensitive, and he knew which position they were in the pill formation. They were about to end.
Ding!
Ding!
At the exact same times, both Bai Zhiqui and Ding Yan completed the pill formation. This was probably the one pill that had no difference in time taken to make it. Everyone would take the same time, because everyone would have to make sure that the furnace was burning at the same temperature.
They opened their furnaces, and a divine smell came out of it. Taking out the pills at the same time, they glared at each other. After all, this was a true competition. They also desired the Xiantian Advancement Pill. It was not something that could be found even for those who could afford it.
Alchemy was the richest profession, but alchemists knew that the things that they wanted the most, precious ingredients, were the rarest, and could be rarely bought for money.
"It's..."
"It's..."
"... a tie?" they both said in unison. They glared at both their pills and knew what had happened. They made the exact same pill with the exact same procedure. And now, they looked at Liu Feng, who had somehow finished before them.
Liu Feng turned around by now and looked at their pills. Chuckling, he threw his jade box to Pill Elder Qingshan, who was still in the air.
"I win. I think that I should get my Xiantian Advancement Pill." he said with confidence.
The pill elder opened the jade box, and then closed it back immediately. Then, he glanced at Master Mu.
They nodded at each other tactfully, and Master Mu flicked something towards Liu Feng.
A jade box appeared in Liu Feng's hand. But without even checking what was in it, he put the box inside his spatial ring. That was because he now had divine sense, and he did not want to open the box.
Even allowing a single wisp of the medicinal fragrance was a waste that he was not willing to take. This pill was too precious right now.
"I think that the results are clear. The ranks are based on the order of the pill, and for all those who have not been able to complete the pill formation, the ranks are based on how much farther you have gotten in the pill formation stage.
"At fifth place, we have Feng Hon. At fourth place, Gu Hua, who is not here right now and has been taken away. Will that person come here to collect her prize for her?" he looked in the horizon, but there was no response.
"Tied at second place, Bai Zhiqui, and Ding Yan."
A round of cheers reminded Liu Feng of the audience that was present.
"And at first place, Liu Tian."
