213: Chapter 204: Fifth Rank?
213: Chapter 204: Fifth Rank?
…
At this mont, many people on the high platform had already begun alchemy.
Inside the pill furnace, roaring alchemy fires burned, refining the dicinal materials into liquid, perating the air with a refreshing fragrance.
Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged in place, pressing his palm on the pill furnace.
In an instant, a surge of spiritual power activated, causing the entire pill furnace to tremble slightly.
As his perception was poured into it, a wisp of fire light suddenly blossod.
Without hesitation, he threw the previously prepared pill materials into the pill furnace.
As the alchemy fire refined them, the dicinal materials gradually turned into dicine liquid, beginning to rge in an orderly manner.
This was the first ti Mo Wangchen refined a Nine Apertures Spirit Pill since his rebirth.
It was also his first attempt at refining a six-tier pill.
He dared not be careless.
After all, his perception was only at the peak of the fifth tier, with so gap to the sixth tier.
Although he had more than sixty percent confidence in refining the Nine Apertures Spirit Pill, any mistake would ruin the hard-earned Heavenly Soul Grass.
As ti went by, the audience around the square settled into a mutual silence, their eyes entirely focused on the more than a hundred inheritance disciples refining pills on the high platform.
No one spoke, seemingly fearing they might disturb them.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for an undetermined amount of ti until suddenly, from a certain direction on the platform, a dull explosion sound was heard, and everyone’s gaze instinctively turned towards it.
There, a four-tier inheritance disciple had a face full of ashes.
The materials in his pill furnace were completely ruined, and the refinent had failed.
“Everyone has only one chance to refine.
Once failed, it’s tantamount to being eliminated.” A few elders walked back and forth on the high platform.
When they saw the disciple’s failure, one of them walked over and said.
“Sigh…”
The disciple sighed.
He was rely a four-tier inheritance disciple, intending to try refining a five-tier pill in this assessnt, as rely refining a four-tier pill would hardly earn him a good ranking.
However, this attempt failed for him.
Failure ant elimination!
Covered in dust and ashes, he stood up, put away the pill furnace, and then walked down the high platform.
The competition continued.
As ti elapsed, suddenly, a deep shout was heard from the high platform.
The next mont, a dim light flickered.
A three-tier disciple, full of solemnity and not daring to be careless, finally let out a slow sigh of relief when a thick pill fragrance wafted from his pill furnace.
“Elder, the disciple thankfully did not fail.
I successfully refined the pill!”
The disciple stood up with a bit of excitent on his face and handed the pill to one of the elders.
The elder nodded, casually scrutinizing the pill in his hand.
“The pill color is excellent, and the fragrance is well-preserved.
If I am not mistaken, this pill has reached the upper rank of three-tier.
Although rare, it may not necessarily achieve a good ranking.
Let us wait for the scoring to finish and see.”
“The disciple understands.
Being able to refine an upper rank three-tier pill is already satisfying.” Receiving the elder’s praise, the disciple was sowhat elated.
He knew he couldn’t hope for a high rank, but being able to refine an upper rank three-tier pill under so many watching eyes was still a way to save face.
“Senior Brother Yu Yue truly is impressive.
I didn’t expect him to refine an upper rank three-tier pill.
I couldn’t even pass the first stage of the assessnt.”
Yu Yue, being that disciple, was quickly surrounded by a crowd as he descended the high platform, each offering flattering words.
“Just luck!
Pure luck!” Facing the flattery from the crowd, Yu Yue was once again slightly elated, yet he humbly responded.
A three-tier disciple also stepped forward, politely cupping his hands, “To be able to refine an upper rank three-tier pill, it seems Senior Brother Yu’s skills have improved greatly.
Promotion to the fourth tier seems imminent.
I have so alchemical difficulties here.
I hope after the competition, Senior Brother Yu can help clarify them…”
“Of course, of course.” Yu Yue nodded, smiling as he responded.
…
As ti pushed back further, more and more people successfully refined their pills and then handed them to the elders for scoring and ranking.
However, while so were happy, others were worried.
Although most succeeded in refining, so faced minor mishaps leading to failure.
As the Bright Sun ascended to its peak in the sky, sunlight fell, increasing the temperature of the scene, but no one left.
At this mont, only a dozen or so figures remained on the high platform.
Among them, five were fifth-tier inheritance disciples of the Pill Sect.
The rest were all fourth-tier besides Mo Wangchen.
The three-tier disciples, whether they succeeded or failed, had already left the high platform.
After all, the higher the tier of the pill, the more ti the refinent required.
“Has that Mo Wangchen not yet finished refining his pill?”
“Isn’t this ti a bit too long?
Wasn’t it said he was rely a three-tier inheritance disciple?
If he were refining a three-tier pill, by timing, it should have been completed by now.
Not completed, yet not failed either…”
“Could he be refining a four-tier pill?” soone suddenly remarked.
“Oh?
A four-tier pill?
That would make sense indeed…”
“Tch!” Yet, amidst the crowd’s discussions, a voice from one direction of the audience ca through, “A four-tier pill?
You underestimate Senior Brother Mo.
Although he is just a three-tier inheritance disciple, his alchemy skills are not that low.
He has even refined five-tier pills before!”
The one speaking was a second-tier servant disciple of the Pill Sect.
The tasks Mo Wangchen previously took on in the dicinal Materials Hall included refining five-tier pills, which he completed.
These feats had long spread within the Pill Sect.
“Oh?
He has refined five-tier pills before?” Upon hearing the servant disciple’s words, many wore expressions of surprise.
Five-tier pills, didn’t that an Mo Wangchen had the skills of a five-tier alchemist?
Within the Pill Sect, only a few like Luo Yuntian could achieve the five-tier level, right?
Unexpectedly, Mo Wangchen was also among them?!
“Little brother, quickly tell us what you know.”
Many gathered around the servant disciple.
By now, Mo Wangchen was quite a well-known figure, and naturally, everyone was curious about him.
…
“Five-tier, huh…”
In another direction, as the news spread, Fang Tianzhou naturally also heard about Mo Wangchen’s affairs.
He slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze steadfastly on Mo Wangchen on the high platform.
After a mont, he said to Sikong Yi beside him, “Act according to plan later!”
