Within the vast Pill Refinent Hall.
Two Second Order Pill Refiners are fully focused on refining the Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill.
One of them appears serious but calm.
The other is completely engrossed, yet his twitching eyebrows reveal an inner anxiety.
The surrounding observers maintain a respectful silence, not daring to disturb them.
Although it seems quiet.
In reality, many are secretly communicating with each other via Spirit Consciousness.
With Luo Chen’s powerful Divine Soul, even if he’s not intentionally eavesdropping, he could clearly hear so conversations from those at the early or middle stage of Foundation Establishnt.
"Tsk tsk, Yi Sheng has been overseeing Yuanzhao Kingdom for ten years, yet his Pill Refinent Technique hasn’t declined at all!"
"It’s not just sustained, look at his application of the Simplicity Hand, calm and skillful."
"You’re right. If I had to process this Cliff Chrysanthemum, I might not be able to achieve such a target."
"What about Tao Yichen?"
"It won’t work, he’s too rigid!"
"He’s ticulous, fearing he’d ruin the herbs, yet he missed the best opportunity for dicine fusion."
"In my view, Tao Yichen’s Pill Refinent Technique, compared to Yi Sheng, is already a level behind!"
"The key part here, is to watch how they handle this five-colored chrysanthemum!"
...
The Pill Refinent competition is still ongoing under high pressure.
Having only watched for a while, Luo Chen unintentionally started to frown.
"Is this Tao Yichen really considered a Second Order Pill Refiner?"
He was quite surprised!
The other party’s skill level was shockingly low.
Could it be that because of his indulgence in worldly matters, his Pill Refinent skill has drastically declined?
But that doesn’t add up!
When Tao Yisheng was discussing with him before, he seed knowledgeable.
But when it ca to actual operation, there were countless mistakes.
From this, it would seem that Qingdan Valley’s evaluation of Second Order Pill Refiners is extrely lenient?
His gaze shifted to other eager Foundation Establishnt True Cultivators, and Luo Chen started to ponder.
"Perhaps it’s not that they’re too weak, but that I’m too strong?"
That’s right!
In the eyes of the world.
Those Pill Refiners who occasionally refine one or two Second Order Pills, are considered Second Order Pill Refiners.
Like Qing Yuanzi, who, relying on his Pill Cultivation Technique, managed to nourish a Third Order Pill by luck and claid himself to be a Third Order Pill Refiner.
When compared to these so-called "Second Order Pill Refiners",
Luo Chen’s Pill Refinent Technique, on the other hand, was honed from refining thousands upon thousands of successful pills.
Even when it cos to Second Order Pills!
He has refined at least two or three thousand of them!
Most of which were the most difficult to refine - Ascendant Grade and Top Grade Pills.
In comparison, the rest are naturally not comparable to him.
"Of course, there is always soone better. There’s always a higher mountain. For example, the Tao family’s alchemists cannot even rank within Qingdan Valley, let alone receiving bestowed titles."
"It can be inferred that the Qingdan Seven Sons must be truly talented."
"I must not underestimate the other heroes in the world!"
After reflecting, he subconsciously shook his head.
At present, he can multitask three things at once due to his "Ming God’s Divine Cleanse" reaching the finalization stage.
Despite his many thoughts earlier,
He had still left part of his attention on the two competitors.
Therefore, he had a detailed understanding of the progress of the Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill’s refining process.
Tao Wen, who was next to him, noticed.
Curiosity led her to ask via Spirit Consciousness, "What’s the matter? Is there sothing wrong?"
Luo Chen replied calmly, "They’re about to fail."
"Who?"
"Both of them."
Upon hearing this, Tao Wen couldn’t help but look doubtful.
She was no expert alchemist.
But having grown up in a Pill Refinent Great Sect, she had so knowledge of pill making judgent.
"Tao Yichen may fail, but my little brother’s every step has been perfect, a clear sign of imminent success!"
Not just her.
The other Foundation Establishnt True Cultivators in the field, those with discernnt, had already noticed the vast disparity between Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen’s alchemy skills.
Particularly on the side of the Clan Chief Tao Daonan.
Many showed signs of fear.
Even more were secretly communicating, sending ssages to Tao Daonan.
Despite Tao Daonan’s grim expression, he remained calm and did not interfere.
The pill refinent continued.
Monts later.
A crisp explosion erged from the bronze tripod.
All eyes were drawn to it, landing on Tao Yichen’s pale, bloodless face.
"I...failed."
A mutter, his body seed to tremble.
"Sigh..."
A sigh escaped from Tao Daonan.
He did not bla him.
Originally, Tao Yichen had a bit of talent in the Dao of Alchemy, not only having passed Qingdan Valley’s theoretical exams but also made a Second Order Pill by luck.
But later, he thought the task of Pill Refining was too repetitive, numbing, and impeded his cultivation, so he gave up further progress.
He put his energy into handling the internal affairs of the Tao family instead.
If he had been decisive back then and forced him to continue studying the Pill Refinent Technique,
Would he be in such a miserable state today?
Shaking his head, he turned his gaze to Tao Yisheng.
"Could it be...he could actually succeed in one try?"
All the spectators, including the failed Tao Yichen, turned their attention to Tao Yisheng.
If this were in the past, under the scrutiny of the public, he might have panicked.
His Pill Technique might have faltered.
But during that year when he was in Luo Tian Creed’s Pill Hall, with Qu Lingjun and Mili frequently around him during usual pill refinents,
He had already beco accustod to being watched.
Even when refining a simple First Order Pill, he could still divide his attention to give pointers.
At this mont, he was under everyone’s watch.
