"Young Master!"
Two elders from the An Family quickly rushed over to support the unconscious An Xu.
"He has overexerted his perception and is only temporarily unconscious. It’s not a big problem. Just take him down to rest properly."
Elder Dan briefly examined An Xu and then spoke.
"Thank you, Senior. We’ll take the young master back to rest now."
Without hesitation, the two elders of the An Family supported An Xu and left.
Without a doubt, as the competition progressed to this point, even An Xu had failed, leaving only Mo Wangchen on the field.
However, this didn’t an he had secured victory.
The rules of the competition had always been that only those who successfully concocted the Concentration Pill could receive the reward of two hundred thousand jin of Desolate Energy from the Pill Tower.
"The eighteenth ingredient already..."
Shortly after An Xu was supported away, the audience’s attention once again focused on Mo Wangchen.
By this ti, Mo Wangchen had already started on the eighteenth dicinal ingredient.
What was surprising was that in his alchemy process so far, his perception seed inexhaustible, without the slightest sign of strain.
"Logically, the process of concocting the Concentration Pill is complex and difficult. The exhaustion of perception is several tis more than that of ordinary pills. It’s rare for soone to persist till now, yet he appears not the least bit fatigued. Could it be as I speculated before, that he is hiding his mastery?"
On the high platform, Elder Dan squinted, finding Mo Wangchen increasingly mysterious.
"Not bad, not bad. You indeed have so skills in alchemy. To hold on this long without exhausting your perception is truly rare."
Mo Wangchen sat ditating in front of the Pill Furnace, intently controlling the alchemy fire within it. From within the Holy Seal, ca the voice of the Jade Emperor, full of comndation.
"I possess perception of the Holy Rank Ninth Grade; this level of expenditure is nothing. It’s insignificant compared to refining Desolate Energy," Mo Wangchen replied.
"What’s the next ingredient?" After completely refining the eighteenth ingredient, Mo Wangchen asked.
The Jade Emperor was silent for two monts, then spoke, "Put all the remaining ingredients in."
"All of them?"
Mo Wangchen was slightly stunned, "Are you sure?"
"When it reached this step back then, the Supre did it this way. But you must ensure the perfect integration of the alchemy fire and the Great Dao Divine Power, with no room for error. Every property’s essence within the ingredients must have Great Dao Divine Power flowing within."
Hearing this, Mo Wangchen furrowed his brow. The Concentration Pill’s ingredients totaled twenty-three.
He had refined eighteen so far, leaving five unrefined. Refining five ingredients at once, especially high-rank ones, posed a significant challenge for any alchemist.
The most crucial aspect was ensuring the alchemy fire and Great Dao Divine Power perfectly aligned, with each refined ingredient containing Great Dao Divine Power. This undoubtedly added to the difficulty.
"Buzz..."
With these thoughts, Mo Wangchen did not hesitate. Following the Jade Emperor’s instructions, he placed all five remaining ingredients into the furnace.
In an instant, the alchemy fire within the Pill Furnace flared up imnsely.
The Great Dao Divine Power spread, causing the entire Pill Furnace to quiver slightly, showing signs of potentially exploding.
"Constrain your Great Dao Divine Power a bit; otherwise the furnace will indeed explode!" the Jade Emperor hurriedly reminded.
In this current competition, should Mo Wangchen successfully concoct the Concentration Pill, he would obtain two hundred thousand jin of Desolate Energy, with half intended for the Jade Emperor, making him naturally concerned, afraid that any mishap might lead to failure.
Mo Wangchen did not dare to hesitate and withdrew so of the Great Dao Divine Power from the Pill Furnace, causing the alchemy fire inside to decrease slightly in intensity.
The Pill Furnace cald, no longer trembling.
From a distance, Elder Dan and the others also let out a breath of relief, having noticed the potential danger of an explosion in Mo Wangchen’s Pill Furnace.
"He placed all the remaining ingredients in at once..."
After the tense situation passed, many couldn’t help but express confusion. Previously, Mo Wangchen had been refining the ingredients one at a ti. Why did he suddenly put them all in at once at the end?
"Such a rich Pill Fragrance!"
Amid this curiosity and bewildernt, ti slipped by second by second.
The entire audience remained silent, unsure of how much ti had passed, when the entire third floor of the Pill Tower filled with a rich Pill Fragrance, finally leading soone to speak out.
"The pervasive Pill Fragrance, is this a precursor to pill formation?"
"Is it true? Did he really succeed in the concoction?"
No one could help but be surprised. Almost all the present alchemists had themselves attempted to concoct the Concentration Pill, deeply aware of its complexity.
To truly succeed in concocting it requires long-term refinent and understanding of pharmacology.
Even Elder Dan, after nearly a century of studying the Concentration Pill, had not achieved significant results.
Yet, Mo Wangchen now showed signs of impending success, undeniably astonishing everyone present!
"Buzz..."
Amidst the low murmurs of the crowd, suddenly, the space quivered slightly.
In the next mont, everyone could distinctly feel the entire Pill Tower beginning to shake.
"Crack!"
The skies over Jing’an City suddenly darkened, and above the Pill Tower, the heavenly vault seed to be forcibly torn apart by invisible hands.
A vast expanse of Great Dao Divine Power burst forth from the rift in the void, sweeping across the entire city in an instant.
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
The Great Dao Divine Power swept through the city like a stormy sea. Under the mixed gaze of awe and fear, all the energy in the void converged toward the Pill Tower.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
At the sa ti, within the third floor of the Pill Tower,
the Pill Furnace in front of Mo Wangchen shook violently, as vast amounts of Great Dao Divine Power poured in from all directions, fully rging into the Pill Furnace.
Inside, the dicine liquid ford from twenty-three refined ingredients began to rge, visibly condensing into a pill.
"Boy, impressive, indeed success is imminent!"
Within the Holy Seal ca the delighted voice of the Jade Emperor.
He finally exhaled a breath of relief. At Mo Wangchen’s level of mastery, the critical part of alchemy lay in the process, which determined whether the pill would form. As for the impending Alchemy Tribulation, it was not a major issue anymore.
