Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Chapter 213: This time, its stable (2/2)

“`

When an alchemist refines elixirs, being distracted is a major taboo. Normally, Ji Ling would never allow himself such distractions, but perhaps today, after Lin Jue caught him off guard with a remark, he’s had a knot in his chest that he hasn’t vented.

That’s why he was paying so much attention to Lin Jue.

Even though Ji Xiyue knew it was wrong, she didn’t speak up to remind him.

After all, this was a wager battle. If Ji Ling lost to his opponent because of his mental state, it would prove that he was not yet qualified to be called a true alchemist.

If he lost, there would naturally be nothing to say.

……

After both participants had thrown the spirit plants into the pill furnace in order, they then sealed the furnace to commence the true alchemy process.

Up to this point, neither of them had made a single mistake.

Once the true alchemy began, Ji Ling no longer paid any attention to Lin Jue and concentrated on refining his elixir.

It wasn’t until this moment that Ji Xiyue’s furrowed brows began to relax slightly.

Sure enough, being able to achieve the rank of a Fourth Grade alchemist, Ji Ling’s mentality wasn’t as fragile as one would think.

As time slowly passed, the gap between Lin Jue and Ji Ling began to slowly emerge…

With a dao-grade pill furnace and the black flames, Ji Ling was obviously refining at a faster pace than Lin Jue.

Although Lin Jue practiced the alchemy techniques of an ancient alchemy family, the methods of the Xingluo Elixir Sect were not much different.

But with the disparity between their furnaces and flames, their alchemy speeds began to pull apart bit by bit.

As time flowed, another four hours passed.

By this time, within Ji Ling’s pill furnace, the scent of elixirs had begun to waft out, indicating that the elixir was a success and almost ready.

At this moment, Lin Jue was still controlling the flames, refining the liquid medicine within his furnace.

As the aroma of the elixir spread, the final step of condensing the elixir began.

Ji Ling, too, paid no mind to the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, gathering more spiritual power to intensify the furnace’s flames for the final condensing.

…

…

A quarter of an hour later, the elixir medicine was complete.

At that moment, Ji Ling stood up, retracted the black flames, and eagerly opened the pill furnace to retrieve the elixirs within.

Yan Ming, acting as the judge, stepped forward at this point to take the elixir medicine from Ji Ling’s hands, then brought it over to Lin Jing and the others.

“One superior, two medium grade, and one low grade…”

As Yan Ming spoke, he also displayed the elixirs for everyone to inspect.

Ji Xiyue nodded lightly at the sight of the elixirs Ji Ling had refined, seeming quite satisfied with the results.

Being a newly promoted Fourth Grade alchemist like Lin Jue, it truly was commendable for Ji Ling to have refined a fourth-rank superior spirit pill at this time.

Having completed the alchemy and even producing a superior grade Qingling Elixir, Ji Ling now looked rather smug as he turned his attention to Lin Jue, who was still in the midst of alchemy.

He was just waiting to see Lin Jue’s play…

It was just then that the scent of elixirs began to emerge from Lin Jue’s pill furnace as well.

Lin Jue quickly operated his cultivation technique, gathering more spiritual power to make the flames at the bottom of the furnace even more vigorous, commencing the final step of elixir condensation.

After another quarter of an hour had passed, Lin Jue’s elixir medicine was also finally complete.

Yan Ming walked over at this point.

When Lin Jue opened his furnace, the scent of the elixir immediately intensified, filling the entire alchemy room.

Lin Jing also smelled the aroma of the elixir and the corners of his mouth curled lightly into a faint smile…

“This time, it’s in the bag…”
