In less than an incense stick of time, the 20 withered and melted herbs turned into 24 drops of pure spirit liquid. There wasn't a single impurity within the spirit liquid, and it was pure without a single flaw.

”Gather!”

After the purification was completed, Ye Zichen's soul controlled the Dead Flame Heaven Flames to continuously condense, condensing the twenty-four drops of pure spirit liquid into one.

And because of the repairing solution made from the Deer Horn Grass, the lack of spiritual energy of the Purple Heavenly Helianthus and the Spiritual Leaf Liquid did not affect the process of condensing the pills. The 24 drops of Elixir smoothly condensed into two milky white elixir essences.

”Pill imprint, fuse!”

As the pill took shape, Ye Zichen's hands quickly began to condense, while a lifelike pill pattern appeared in the air. Under his soul control, the pill fused into two drops of milky white pill through the furnace, increasing the quality of the pill.

Just as Ye Zichen was using his full strength to condense the pill and fuse the pill traces, an ear-piercing explosion sounded out in the silent Skyfire World.

A 6-star apothecary stared foolishly at the cauldron which was emitting a charred air, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

”How is this possible? I have completely refined the pill according to the formula, and the purification did not reveal any flaws. How could I fail?”

Opening the pill furnace and looking at the pile of black ashes at the bottom, the sixth-grade pill refiner was unable to accept this fact because with his cultivation level as a sixth-grade pill refiner, not to mention refining a low-grade dao pill, even refining a mid-grade dao pill would have an extremely high success rate.

Just as he was recalling the reason for his failure, the sound of exploding pills continuously rang out from within the Skyfire Realm, which was filled with a thick medicinal aroma and a fiery aura.

Looking at the charred pill ashes in their respective pill furnaces, the apothecaries who failed in their pill forging were astonished and at a loss. They didn't know where the problem was with their pill forging.

”Buzz!”

A pill furnace suddenly vibrated. Ye Chenfeng, who had completed the pill refining at the fastest speed possible, suddenly slapped the boiling pill furnace, causing two Ten Stripes Profound Ice Pill that emitted a faint cold aura to fly out.

”Of all the apothecaries here, he is indeed the best!”

As he looked at Ye Chenfeng, who had formed the first pill and refined two Ten Stripes Mysterious Ice Pill, his calm face revealed a rare smile.

In just three breaths of time, Jiao Yuyan succeeded Ye Chenfeng in concocting two Ten Striped Mysterious Ice Pill and completed the pill refinement.

At that moment, Marquis Wang, who was watching the fight through the light wall in the pavilion, revealed a proud smile when Mu Qinghuo saw Ye Zichen and Jiao Yanyan standing out amongst the crowd of alchemists and completed the pill refinement.

With just the results of their first round of preliminaries alone, Heaven Viewing Pavilion was able to advance into the 5-star Heaven Pavilion.

As time passed, more and more pill refiners with extraordinary powers completed their pill refinement. There were many that had successfully concocted the Ten Stripes Pill, but there were also many that had failed and were eliminated.

In the tense atmosphere, four hours passed.

The first round of the intense preliminaries ended.
