Originally, in the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, literary competitions between brothers are common.
But today is different; a newcor disciple claims they want to challenge a five-star disciple.
This event spread through the Alchemy Cauldron Sect like a whirlwind.
Disciples busy elsewhere are flocking to the Alchemy Courtyard in droves.
Even senior disciples join in the excitent, all eager to see what this young newcor looks like.
For a mont, it seed like a festival at the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, gathering fifty to sixty thousand people in this grand courtyard.
Even the sect’s ten or so masters and three elders were alerted, coming to maintain order.
After hearing this, they were all greatly surprised.
One master said with a laugh, "This year’s newcors are truly ferocious. I heard that during the morning training, one newcor had just beaten the training master Yang Changji. Now, it turns out a newcor dares to challenge our five-star disciple."
Another master said, "I actually want to see what skill this disciple possesses. If he can really refine a Fourth-grade Thunderstorm Pill, I’ll bring him into the sect as a disciple with pomp."
"Perhaps he has a profound family background, which allows him to do this; maybe there is hope."
"..."
The masters are twitching with excitent, even more than the students.
Money is easy to find; talent is hard to co by.
A newcor capable of refining a fourth-grade pill must possess remarkable talent.
A disciple like this is what they seek endlessly.
A crowd gathered outside this Alchemy Room, anxiously awaiting the result.
This Alchemy Room is an entirely enclosed space.
Surrounded by arrays for protection, to prevent any disturbances.
During alchemy, one’s concentration must be absolute, and disturbances cannot be allowed.
However, there is a projection array here.
To prevent Long Fei from cheating, Xiao Yuanyao had already activated the array, projecting the state of Long Fei’s alchemy onto the outside void.
Only his movents were neither fast nor slow, like cooking, putting every Thunderstorm Pill ingredient into the Pill Furnace.
His technique showed no flair, no speciality, prompting everyone to smile, "This is definitely a rookie!"
"Dreaming of refining a fourth-grade pill with such skill?"
"This kid is doing this deliberately, seeking fa only."
"Dare he toy with everyone, does he wish to remain in Heaven-Piercing Palace later?"
"..."
A group of masters furrowed their brows, also sowhat pessimistic about Long Fei.
Only three elders furrowed their brows, thinking Long Fei’s technique had so prowess.
The Thunderstorm Pill’s ingredients and refining thod are simple, using Thunderstruck Wood to store Thunder Elental Force and sealing it externally with a special plant sap.
This plant sap is actually rubber, called Insulating Wood in this world.
A very simple thing, the key is at the mont of pill formation.
Due to the violent Thunder Elental Force, even a slight vibration would cause an explosion of Thunder Elental Force.
The outer layer of resin material must be incredibly uniform.
It can’t be thicker in one place and thinner in another.
Just now, Xiao Yuanyao suffered from this issue, as the uneven outer material caused movent of the Thunder Elental Force inside.
In the end, everything was lost at the last mont.
His eyes tightly focused on the outside projection.
Inside, the Bai Family Sisters and Sunx Lang dared not even breathe heavily, fearing disturbing Long Fei.
Long Fei, however, looked experienced and deliberately explained to them, "Watch carefully; no matter what pill is being refined, the key lies in controlling the heat. The heat isn’t constant; it keeps changing with the outside environnt. Due to differences in the thickness and material of various cauldron walls and crucial factors of materials, stability, the heat needs corresponding adjustnts..."
Outside, people found his divine talk incomprehensible, unable to hear what he was saying.
Only disciples and masters skilled in alchemy heard his mouth shape, nodding thoughtfully.
Among the Ten Great Elders of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, the most famous Third Elder Yin Yufeng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "While refining, he maintains composure and offers explanations to others. His understanding of the Pill Fla already surpasses ordinary people; indeed, he’s a talent worth cultivating."
The other two elders chid in with a smile, "If the Third Elder says so, then this young one surely faces no issue. It’s just that his performance and speech might not et our expectations in the end."
"Indeed, with Thunderstorm Pill, the key lies in lightning summoning. The amount summoned directly affects the Thunderstorm Pill’s potency. General pill alchemists are fine with everything, except their Cultivation Level is slightly insufficient to summon much Thunder Elental Force."
The Third Elder laughed, "Never mind, let’s keep watching."
Among this crowd, only Xiao Yuanyao felt the most anxiety.
He saw Long Fei’s material was correct, confirming that Long Fei definitely knew what he was doing.
This gamble was increasingly unpredictable.
Previously, no one favored Long Fei; now the tables turned, and at least half felt Long Fei had so skill with promising chances.
The alchemy rules: placing materials, starting the fire, lting, pill formation.
Depending on the pill, it also splits into Water Condensed Pill and Fire Condensed Pill.
Water Condensed Pill is akin to boiled pills.
Fire Condensed Pill is roasted pills.
This Thunderstorm Pill is a roasted pill.
Utilizing rubber material, the Pill Fla refines it to a molecular state and then quickly condenses it altogether.
Encapsulating the Thunder Elental Force stored within Thunderstruck Wood.
Lightning summoning is paramount for this pill.
Within the Pill Room, various Array Plates serve as the Alchemy Cauldron’s aid.
For instance, needing tal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, and lightning, there’s no need to fetch water or ignite a fire; directly activating the Array Plate will suffice.
Long Fei scrutinized the Array Plate, took out over ten thousand Spirit Stones, and arranged them around Array Plate’s periter.
People observing the projection outside exclaid in surprise, "What does he intend?"
"A single Array Plate doesn’t need so many Spirit Stones to activate, right?"
"Does this kid have too many Spirit Stones without a place to spend?"
Soone shouted, "Is it possible he thinks the Array Plate’s summoned Thunder Elental Force is lacking?"
"We aren’t experts in Array Plates!"
"Looks like a small formation to reinforce Array Plate’s power?"
A disciple from the Formation Sect confird, "Indeed, it’s a small empowernt array to bolster the Array Plate; this kid actually knows formations?"
"How large a Thunderstorm Pill does he intend to refine here? Seems the Array Plate can summon the lightning needed for a Fifth-grade Thunderstorm Pill."
"Whoa, is this kid crazy?"
"..."
A group of disciples watched with wide eyes, unsure of Long Fei’s intentions.
At this point, a sudden thunderclap erupted in the sky.
Dark clouds surged, and the Array Plate activated within, shooting a beam of Mysterious Light skyward via a roof iron rod.
For over a thousand ters around, the sky filled with rolling dark clouds and mighty thunder.
With a loud crack, Heavenly Thunder flashed downward from overhead, spreading like a giant tree in the sky, transforming into a longsword, striking upon the Alchemy Room’s iron rod.
The lightning’s imnse force slightly scorched those beneath.
A group of disciples couldn’t help but close their eyes and exclaim in surprise, quickly using Essential Qi for self-protection.
Lightning followed the iron rod with crackling sounds, resonating around the Alchemy Room, accompanied by a strong fla as if a leaping Fire Dragon, converging in the Pill Furnace via the Array Plate.
