Chapter 660 (2/2)

All the competing alchemists hastily took out their pill furnaces and medicinal ingredients, organizing them on the refining stage .

The first thing they had to do was get used to the exact size of the refining stage . The arrangement of medicinal ingredients was extremely important . They had to have a plan for how many medicinal ingredients they could put in order . That was to avoid making an error during the sequence of refining .

The higher the tier of the medicinal pill, the more stringent would the refining process be . Some medicinal ingredients needed to be put aside and left to cool for a long time after being refined into powders . There were also some powders that were extremely volatile and began to dissipate into the air after being refined, so those medicinal ingredients were refined last, which would keep the quality of the refined pill higher .

High tier pills had extremely complicated pill formulas . Any detail could affect the odds of a successful refinement . So although there would be no one eliminated this time, everyone still treated it extremely seriously .

These people were all Pill Emperors . They all chose to refine fifth tier pills . Because the difficulty of that was rather high, they couldn’t mess around . Although this wasn’t a true compet.i.tion, a failure would still be humiliating .

“Hm? What is that little fellow doing? What kind of broken pill furnace is that?”

Suddenly, an uproar came from the crowd as people’s gazes landed on Long Chen’s stage . Other people’s refining stages were filled with medicinal ingredients . There were at least over seventy kinds of medicinal ingredients on each of the stages, and some people even had over a hundred .

But Long Chen’s stage only had seven medicinal ingredients, and they were extremely low tier ones .

“d.a.m.n, no way! Isn’t that a second tier pill furnace? And it has a nick in it? Is he really that poor?”

Seeing Long Chen’s pill furnace, everyone’s eyes almost popped out . What was he doing?

A second tier pill furnace could only refine second tier medicinal pills . Then looking at the medicinal ingredients he had laid around him… was he really planning on only refining a second tier pill?

“Long San, what are you doing? Why don’t you refine a fifth tier pill? And what is that chamberpot for?” asked Chai Liehuo . He was on a stage beside Long Chen .

“I… I only have these medicinal ingredients… And this pill furnace is my only one,” said Long Chen helplessly .

He had to act like a poor alchemist raised by a Pill Master . He naturally couldn’t use his main pill furnace, as that had been Huo Wufang’s .

Chai Liehuo almost coughed up blood . If he didn’t have a pill furnace, why hadn’t he said so earlier? He could have easily gotten him one . Bringing out a trash chamberpot like this was too embarra.s.sing .

“Don’t make a racket!”

The tower administrator suddenly shouted and Chai Liehuo could only shut his mouth .

Suddenly, countless flames began to soar from people’s hands . They had already taken out their Pill Flames . All kinds of colorful and magnificent beast flames appeared .

“Ranked thirty-one on the beast flame rankings, the Blue Heart Flame!”

“Ranked twenty-nine on the beast flame rankings, the Scarlet Blaze Flame!”

…

Startled cries rang out from the crowd . These beast flames were all ranked in the top hundred of the beast flame rankings . These people were truly being shown a whole new world .

“Junior master Fang and junior master Chai’s beast flames are the same . It’s the Blazing Python Scale Flame, fourth on the beast flame rankings!!”

“Heavens, isn’t junior master Huo’s flame the first rank beast flame, the Earth Flame Golden Blaze?”

There was a golden flame in Huo Wufang’s hand that caused the crowd to shout in shock . Even Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang were filled with shock .

They hadn’t expected Huo Wufang to have obtained the first rank beast flame . The Huo family had once more spent a huge sum on him .

That Earth Dragon Golden Blaze had come from a Xiantian Magical Beast known as the Earth Dragon . This kind of Magical Beast came from ancient times, and it had almost gone extinct .

It was said that the Earth Dragon possessed a trace of a true dragon’s bloodline . Although its body was more like a lizard and seemed to have nothing to do with a dragon, just that trace of a dragon’s bloodline was enough to make it an overlord amongst Magical Beasts . It was said that a matured Earth Dragon was something even a Sea Expansion expert would have to flee from .

“Hehe, looks like I win this one . ” Huo Wufang smiled arrogantly . He glanced at Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang, his provocation obvious .

The two of them merely snorted but their expressions became a bit ugly . Huo Wufang had taken the advantage in terms of Pill Flames .

“Hahaha!”

Suddenly, mocking laughter rang out as everyone looked at Long Chen . There was a light yellow flame in Long Chen’s hand . That was no beast flame but just an ordinary Pill Flame .

It was something he had condensed from his spiritual yuan . Long Chen wasn’t a true flame cultivator, and he had no core flame runes . He could only condense this simple Pill Flame .

“Has there been some mistake? How did such trash make it into this compet.i.tion? Did someone sneak him in through the back door?” sneered someone .

“Idiot, if you don’t know, then don’t speak . He’s only eighteen, but his Spiritual Strength has reached the first tier Heaven cla.s.s . It’s just that… just that… he comes from a poor origin . What right do you have to laugh at him?” Someone recognized Long Chen and defended him .

Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang were extremely vexed upon seeing Long Chen take out this trash pill furnace and trash Pill Flame . Why hadn’t he said any of this earlier?

Suddenly, Long Chen smiled slightly . Extending a hand, all of his medicinal ingredients flew into his pill furnace at the same time, and his Pill Flame entered the bottom of the furnace . His soul energy circulated, and his Pill Flame explosively grew .
