Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 69: Three-Rank Dan Medicine [Second Update]

  No. 7 is on the shelves, please support it when you have time.

  Some of the fifth and sixth-grade alchemists among the five major powers were also thoroughly surprised by the three, for they knew that even a fourth-grade peak alchemist would not be able to refine a third-grade elixir within half an hour.

  Du Mi'er and Ouyang Fan exchanged a glance, both revealing a wry smile. With only half an hour left, if they continued to stalemate, neither of them might have enough time to refine a third-grade elixir. If that happened, the first round would be eliminated, which was quite ironic.

  "Look at Du Mi'er and Ouyang Qian, they've both started refining their elixirs. Their speed is so fast."

  "Look at the beast flames on their bodies, they are much more beautiful than others, and the intensity of the flames is also much stronger." The two women finally started taking action, each took out a dan furnace that was even better than Yue Cheng's Wan Shou Furnace and placed it on the stone platform.

  Du Mi'er used a green flame, while Ou Yang Piao used a blue flame. Those who knew their stuff could easily see that the beast flames on both women's bodies were taken from high-level magic beasts of the ninth rank, far surpassing those of Liang Yu, Zhao Qing Song and Liu Li Yang.

  The two women skillfully threw the medicinal materials on the stone platform into the alchemy furnace, and in an instant, they were refined, with a speed that was several times faster than that of ordinary alchemists.

  Yue Cheng felt a scorching heat around him, and after slowly exhaling a breath, he opened his eyes to see the flames on the two women's hands, which also made them slightly surprised. The beast fire used by the two women had an impact on some of the nearby alchemists, whose flames in their hands seemed to be suppressed as if by an invisible force, which was a great taboo for alchemy.

  "Only twenty minutes left, damn it." Sima Yanran's eyes blazed with anger, muttering a low curse at Yue Cheng.

  "Peng, peng, peng" A faint wave of spiritual energy fluctuations surrounded the area. Three elixirs burst out of the furnace and landed in the hands of Liang Yu, Zhao Qing Song, and Liu Li Yang. The three people managed to refine their respective third-grade elixirs within the remaining twenty minutes of the competition time limit, which also represented the strength of the three individuals.

  "It's about time." Yue Cheng's face floated with a hint of a smile, and he lazily stretched his waist before finally placing the Wan Shou Furnace on the stone platform with a half-dead expression.

  "What is this guy going to do?" Sima Yanran looked at Yue Cheng's appearance and was really anxious, her heart aching with worry, and she didn't know how many times she had cursed Yue Cheng in her mind.

  "Hmph, this kid must be crazy. I'll see how you refine the third-grade elixir in the last twenty minutes. This time, let's see how you embarrass yourself in front of everyone on Zuoxing Island." Liang Yu looked at Yue Cheng in front of him, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes. Last time, he was actually severely injured by his opponent, and this grudge must be avenged when the opportunity arises.

  Everyone in the room focused their attention on Yue Cheng, at this moment Yue Cheng was the focus of the whole room. Du Mi'er and Ouyang Fan's alchemy was magnificent, but at this time everyone hoped to know how Yue Cheng could refine a third-grade elixir within twenty minutes.

  "Supreme True Fire." A hand seal was formed, and two thick flames quickly condensed from Yue Cheng's hands, pouring into the Wan Shou Furnace. The surrounding space suddenly became scorching hot.

  As the Supreme True Fire emerged, Du Mier and Ouyang Fan's hearts skipped a beat, and the flames in their hands seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force.

  The two women were greatly shocked in their hearts, and they turned around to look at Yue Cheng. The beast fire on their bodies was obtained from the ninth-level advanced magic beasts, and ordinary flames could not have any effect on their own beast fire, unless it was a strange fire that might be possible.

  "Could that guy be using hetero fire?" The two women thought to themselves, hetero fire was a peculiar existence in the world, it could burn everything mundane, even martial energy and magic couldn't withstand its flames.

  Yue Cheng had also learned about the Strange Fire, although he hadn't seen it before. He knew that while the Strange Fire was much stronger than the Beast Fire, it still couldn't compare to his own Supreme True Fire. His Supreme True Fire wasn't just unmatched among mortal objects, but even in the Xianxia realm of Huaxia, everything could be incinerated by his flames.

  Two strands of Supreme True Fire poured into the Ten Thousand Beast Furnace, and Yue Cheng put all the spiritual medicines on the stone platform into the furnace at once. The two strands of Supreme True Fire tightly wrapped around a pile of spiritual medicines to refine them, and in an instant, the pile of spiritual medicines began to slowly transform into the most pure medicinal liquid.

  Yue Cheng's actions stunned everyone, as the Xuan Tian Continent had never seen such a bold move in alchemy before. He had poured all the spiritual herbs into the cauldron at once, which was simply unthinkable. Alchemists typically refined each herb step by step before finally condensing them into a pill. Even the strongest alchemist couldn't possibly refine all the herbs at once. Yet Yue Cheng had done just that, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

  To others' astonished gaze, Yue Cheng naturally didn't have any special understanding. If it were refining fifth-grade or fourth-grade high-level elixirs, Yue Cheng wouldn't dare to refine them like this either. However, now he was only refining third-grade elixirs; as long as his soul force was sufficient, this posed no problem for Yue Cheng at all.

  In the Huaxia continent, every cultivator's alchemy is far more complex than those on the Xuantian Continent. Alchemy is merely one of the most basic skills that every cultivator must master. However, in the Xuantian Continent, Yue Cheng still can't understand why his basic alchemy skills are enough to make others want to become a noble and respected alchemist. If these people had the chance to visit Huaxia, they would definitely be shocked to death.

  It was precisely this unintentional action of Yue Cheng that would directly affect the alchemists of the entire continent many years later, but that's a story for another time.

  Ten minutes later, Yue Cheng, amidst the astonished expressions of countless people, had already refined all the spiritual medicines. With a change in his hand seal, two strands of Supreme True Fire controlled a cluster of pure spiritual liquid extracted from a pile of spiritual medicines, slowly beginning to condense into a dan.

  "How can this be, what kind of alchemy technique is this?" Liang Yu's mouth was agape with shock, he had never seen or even heard of such a technique before.

  "That damned guy, I've been worried for nothing all this time." Sima Yan finally let out a breath, and Yue Cheng's alchemy skills also left her in awe.

  Simachangping's sweaty face finally broke into a smile, even if he didn't understand alchemy, but looking at the situation in the field, he knew that Yuecheng was much more brilliant than other alchemists. His previous worries disappeared, replaced by increasing satisfaction with this son-in-law. He couldn't help but turn around and smile at Sima Yanran, the meaning was very clear, praising his daughter for having a good eye, this son-in-law wasn't a bad choice.

  Looking at Sima Changping's expression, Sima Yanran could only smile helplessly. Yue Cheng's strength had far exceeded her imagination. She didn't know that the person she casually pulled from the street would have such a strong influence. It seems that heaven still favors the Sima family.

  The sound of "peng, peng" continuously came from the elixir furnace, and many alchemists below had successfully refined third-grade elixirs. However, there were more failures, and a large part of the people only started gathering dan now, so they should be out of luck in terms of speed.

  At this time, Yue Cheng, Du Mi'er and Ouyang Fan's elixir had also entered the final stage of gathering dan, with only five minutes left before the competition deadline.

  Five minutes was enough for the three of them, and in an instant, spiritual energy surged in their respective cauldrons. The three elixirs they were refining had already been successfully concocted. Three pellets wrapped in dense spiritual energy shot out of the cauldrons and landed in each of their hands. In the remaining minute, the three of them simultaneously refined their third-grade elixirs.

  Du Mi'er and Ouyang Piao gazed at each other, both thinking that if they continued to stalemate for a little while longer, neither of them would have the opportunity to enter the second round.

  "Yue Cheng is so formidable, he refined a third-grade elixir in just twenty minutes."

  "He's so handsome, he's simply my idol." Yue Cheng's performance drove everyone crazy, and instantly his name was etched in the hearts of the 100,000 people present, becoming an idol for all.

  Some people from large families and influential forces couldn't help but shake their heads in dismay, blaming themselves for not having a daughter as beautiful as the Sima family's. The Sima family was simply lucky this time, managing to find such an awesome son-in-law.

  Looking at Yue Cheng's final performance, the people of the four major forces also looked towards the Sima family one after another. Especially the people of the Liang family, their faces didn't look so good anymore.

  Later, the white surname protector of Lingjing Sect and some fourth-grade alchemists in Lingjing Sect inspected the third-grade elixirs refined by the alchemists who passed the first round. Those whose refining was not good or had defects were all eliminated. After the inspection, the white surname protector announced that a total of seventy-two people had passed the first round.

  Nearly two thousand people were eliminated in the first round of the competition, with over nineteen hundred people being eliminated. This number is also a bit too big. However, this is a competition, and there must be winners and losers, otherwise it would not be possible to determine who wins or loses without some ruthlessness.

  Next, there was a half-hour break, and the five major forces had to reorganize the arena. Those who remained to enter the second round temporarily went down to rest. Du Mier and Ouyang Fan both noticed Yue Cheng at this time, and Yue Cheng's performance just now undoubtedly already had the strength to contend with them.

  Yue Cheng walked back to the Sima family's resting room, where Sima Changping personally got up and pulled Yue Cheng to sit beside him, hastily asking if he was tired.

  Simar Yanran glared at Yue Cheng with a bad temper, this guy made her worry for nothing and hurt her heart, she must find an opportunity to teach this self-righteous and deliberately pretending to be cool guy a lesson.

  Yue Cheng blinked at Sima Yanran, and then responded to Sima Changping's inquiries about his well-being. After all, he was his own "father-in-law".

  Among the five major forces, people are sweeping the arena, and many alchemists who have entered the second round take this opportunity to sit cross-legged and start cultivating slowly. As for the top three, they don't think about it anymore, but everyone wants to enter the top ten.

  No. 7 is on the shelves, and Xiao Yu is nervous. The general update plan is: at noon, 12 o'clock, a one-time update of 100,000 words, followed by an update of 10,000 words every hour. After 8 pm, another one-time update of 50,000 words, with a total of about 220,000 words. The cultivation of the novel relies on the support of brothers and sisters. If the results are good on that day, with many flowers, subscriptions, and rewards, Xiao Yu will stay up all night to write a few more tens of thousands of words in a burst. Please give your support at that time, and Xiao Yu thanks you...
