Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 71: Mid-Grade Five-Piece Elixir

  Yue Cheng had originally planned to refine a Nourishing Spirit Pill for himself after some time, the Nourishing Spirit Pill was a medicinal pill that needed to be taken after reaching the Fetal Breathing stage. Now that Yue Cheng's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Opening Brightness stage, it was also time for him to prepare to refine the Nourishing Spirit Pill.

  He took out the Wan Shou furnace and placed it on the stone platform, and Yue Cheng immediately took out a large pile of spiritual medicine from his spatial storage bag. These spiritual medicines were partly collected by himself, while most of them were obtained from the Sima family. If he had to collect all the medicinal materials for the Nourishing Spirit Pill by himself, who knows when it would be finished.

  "Supreme True Fire." Yue Cheng let out a light shout, his hands forming a seal as two blazing flames condensed from his palms. According to Yue Cheng's estimation, the Spirit Nourishing Pill should be at the mid-grade level of the five-tiered pills on the Xuantian Continent. This was also Yue Cheng's first time refining a fifth-tier pill, and it was still a mid-grade one at that; he didn't dare to be careless.

  The true energy inside the body circulated, and Yue Cheng's whole body was surrounded by a thick layer of cyan mist. This thick layer of cyan mist was much stronger than when Yue Cheng was in the middle of his enlightenment period. When Yue Cheng broke through to the fetal breath period later, the condensed cyan mist around his body would transform into the unique true energy halo of Taoism, and Yue Cheng's defensive power would also greatly increase.

  Yu Cheng's surroundings suddenly shook slightly, but this shock was completely caused by the true energy of the Hunyuan True Classic on Yu Cheng's body. Outsiders saw one after another with their eyes wide and tongue-tied, even Sima Yanran was shocked to lose her mind.

  Everyone only saw that Yue Cheng's body was surrounded by a thick layer of cyan mist, and the space around him was shaking non-stop. This phenomenon also required a fifth-grade alchemist to trigger it, and Yue Cheng's aura was still slightly above Du Mier and Ouyang Feng's.

  "Yue Cheng is also a fifth-grade alchemist." Someone couldn't help but say, and the crowd immediately went crazy. This year's Alchemy Master Competition actually had three fifth-grade alchemists at the same time, which was really unbelievable. In previous years' Alchemy Master Competitions, there were only one or two fourth-grade alchemists at most. This year's competition was truly worth coming to. Fifth-grade alchemists are extremely rare even on the entire Zuoxing Island.

  "He... he's also a fifth-grade alchemist." Liang Yu looked at Yue Cheng with a stunned expression, this was all too unacceptable. Originally, he had planned to humiliate Yue Cheng in this round, but now Yue Cheng's display of a fifth-grade alchemist aura made him feel a sense of despair.

  Simachangping looked at Yuecheng on the stage with a surprised face, and immediately became ecstatic "My son-in-law is also a fifth-grade alchemist, now we're going to get rich."

  "This guy was actually hiding so deeply, and is also a fifth-grade alchemist." Sima Yanran couldn't help but feel delighted, today's results were all beyond her expectations.

  The alchemists in the Lingjing Sect, as well as those from the five major powers, were all shocked by Yue Cheng. This time, there were actually three fifth-grade alchemists participating in the Alchemist Grand Prix. If the sect master knew about it, he would be delighted too.

  To the amazement of onlookers, several contestants who were fully focused on refining their medicine naturally didn't dare to be distracted. All ten people on stage were intently refining their own medicinal pellets, and even Yue Cheng didn't dare to be careless, using his Supreme True Fire to control the medicinal materials in the Beastly Furnace, slowly refining and extracting the purest medicinal energy.

  It's now refining the fifth-grade elixir, and Yue Cheng also doesn't dare to cook all the medicinal materials in one pot. The soul power he can use now has not reached that level of strength, after his cultivation reaches the late stage of fetal breathing, refining the fifth-grade elixir should be as easy as refining third-grade elixirs now.

  A thick aura of spiritual energy permeated the air above the arena, and the onlookers also gradually stopped their discussions and murmurs, quietly watching the changes in the arena.

  A loud "bang" sound, the eighth-ranked alchemist in the second round actually exploded his furnace, his whole body was blown to a pitch black, and he probably suffered some serious injuries. He reluctantly withdrew from the competition with the assistance of the arena staff.

  Two hours later, the sound of two elixirs being successfully refined rang out. The 9th and 10th ranked alchemists had each successfully refined a high-grade third-tier elixir. Immediately after, the 7th ranked alchemist also successfully refined a high-grade third-tier elixir.

  Watching others refine fourth or even fifth-grade elixirs, the three of them looked helpless. They had thought their own talents were already quite good, but after participating in this alchemist grand competition, they finally understood what it meant by "beyond the sky there is another sky, beyond people there are other people".

  The three of them can now only hope that the remaining six will all explode, and then they will be the top three in this alchemist competition. But is this possible? It's just a pipe dream, it seems that their third-grade elixir is no match for others.

  Another quarter of an hour later, Zhao Qing Song and Liu Li Yang separately refined a fourth-grade elixir. Zhao Qing Song's was a primary fourth-grade elixir, while Liu Li Yang's was an intermediate fourth-grade elixir. It seemed that in terms of strength, Liu Li Yang had a slight edge over Zhao Qing Song.

  Now there are only four figures on the entire arena, namely Liang Yu of the Liang family, Yue Cheng of the Sima family, Du Mi'er of the Danmen, and Ouyang Fanqing of the Lingjing Sect. The elixirs refined by the four people are slightly higher in grade than those of others, even if it is Liang Yu's refinement, it is also a high-grade fourth-grade elixir, so naturally, some time will be saved.

  A loud crash, the whole Liang family was shocked and defeated. Liang Yu stood in front of the stone pedestal, his body covered in black soot, his clothes torn and hair disheveled. The censer on the pedestal had been blown to pieces, and Liang Yu had actually exploded the furnace.

  "Haha." Sima Changping was the first to laugh, relieved in his heart that he had not agreed to form an alliance with the Liang family through marriage. Otherwise, the Sima family would have been in trouble.

  The people of the Liang family heard Sima Changping's laughter and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, then several members of the Liang family quickly helped Liang Yu up from the competition stage.

  Liang Yu's eyes were filled with a stunned expression, he never thought that he would actually explode the furnace. In fact, this is not surprising, Liang Yu originally planned to humiliate Yue Cheng in this round, but when he saw that Yue Cheng was a fifth-grade alchemist, he was immediately shocked, and under such circumstances, alchemy fears an unstable mind, due to Yue Cheng's influence, plus Liang Yu had just recently broken through to the peak of fourth-grade alchemist cultivation, his cultivation had not been fully consolidated, and he was refining high-grade fourth-grade elixir, all these reasons combined together resulted in Liang Yu's furnace explosion.

  If it weren't for Yue Cheng's appearance, Liang Yu's true strength could actually enter the top three, but Yue Cheng's appearance changed everything.

  There were only three people left on the field, and the 100,000 spectators also began to tense up. These three people would be the top three winners of this Alchemist Grand Prix if no unexpected events occurred, but who would be the champion? No one dared to make a conclusion yet, because everything seemed not quite right today.

  Half a time later, with the sound of two elixirs coming out of the furnace, two elixirs wrapped in thick spiritual energy fell into the hands of Du Mi'er and Ouyang Fan. Fifth-grade elixir, the two successfully refined fifth-grade elixir.

  The two women's faces were pale, and the refinement of the five-grade elixir had consumed a lot of their spiritual power. Immediately, both women took out a recovery elixir and put it in their mouths, and after a moment, their complexions slowly recovered a bit of rosiness.

  "Where did this guy come from?" Both women were staring intently at Yue Cheng, who was still gathering dan. Originally, both of them thought they would be the champion of this alchemist competition, but now it seemed impossible. This guy's strength was even more formidable than theirs.

  The whole scene was left with only Yue Cheng still continuing to refine the elixir, some of his admirers were silently cheering in their hearts: Come on Yue Cheng, come on Yue Cheng.

  Simar Yanran gazed intently at the handsome man on the field, and at this moment, the silhouette of that handsome man was unknowingly engraved in her heart.

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second, and everyone's heart also became heavier. Those who admired Yue Cheng couldn't help but shout out together: Come on Yue Cheng, come on Yue Cheng!

  Yue Cheng's fans may have small voices, but there are many of them and together they can make a big impact. The effect is also astonishing. Yue Cheng probably didn't expect to suddenly have so many fans either. This is mainly because Yue Cheng's method of refining medicine in one pot was too cool, it simply opened up the precedent for alchemists on the Xuan Tian Continent, which led to many admirers. Stars are often unintentionally famous like this.

  Half a time later, a white and gray pill burst out of the Wan Shou furnace, surrounded by thick spiritual energy that lingered on its surface for a long time. After a while, the pill finally fell into Yue Cheng's hand, and the thick spiritual energy on its surface was also absorbed into the pill body.

  "Finally succeeded in refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill." Yue Cheng also let out a breath, as refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill was somewhat strenuous for his current abilities. Immediately afterwards, Yue Cheng threw a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth, recovering his depleted true energy and replenishing his spiritual power.

  As Yue Cheng's elixir refinement succeeded, the cheers of his fans reached a frenzied level, with deafening roars echoing throughout the arena. The Lingjing Sect members who were supposed to inspect the results of several people's refinements could only temporarily give up in the face of the overwhelming frenzy.

  Yue Cheng looked at the audience seats where his many admirers were, and he awkwardly waved his hand in a polite gesture. This was purely a polite expression. But this made things even more chaotic, as soon as Yue Cheng waved his hand, the entire stadium which had not been cheering before started to cheer, those who were already cheering became even louder, the whole stadium was in chaos, and many young female fans shouted loudly: "Yue Cheng I love you, Yue Cheng I want to marry you."
