Chapter 30: Merging Medicines

  "Boom!"

  A thunder-like explosion burst out from the high platform.

  Those alchemists who were focused on refining medicine were unmoved, but the attention of all the judges was drawn over, staring intently at the small cauldron in Nie Kong's palm.

  Just listen to the sound of movement and quietness, and you'll know how powerful the explosion of medicinal power is.

  Logically speaking, not to mention the small cauldron used by Nie, even the large medicine cauldrons being used by other alchemists would be shattered into pieces by the sudden explosion of medicinal power. However, in reality, Nie's cauldron was not damaged in the slightest and instead continued to absorb the spiritual energy that Nie poured into it.

  What medicine is that?

  It's so solid! The gaze of several people, including Cheng Fei Liu, turned to Xiantian Xin on the side, with a questioning expression in their eyes. Xiantian Xin naturally knew what they wanted to ask, but he himself was also confused and didn't understand the reason behind it, let alone answer them?

  "That medicine cauldron is quite ordinary, perhaps... or... maybe it's because my disciple used a variant of spiritual power?" Practitioner Tianxin speculated in an uncertain tone.

  "Hmm."

  Cheng Fei and a few others nodded hesitantly, apparently acknowledging the possibility. Excluding the special nature of Yao Ding's medicine cauldron, only Nie Kong's spiritual power could be used to explain what had just happened, after all, before Nie Kong, none of them had truly understood the mutated wood spiritual power.

  Could it be that the mutated Wood Spirit Masters have an unknown advantage in alchemy? Several people couldn't help but wonder this.

  Lian Tianxin had originally given up on this matter, but now his eyes showed a glimmer of hope. If he grasped it well, perhaps the disciple could still successfully refine the medicine.

  Nie Kong's eyes were slightly closed, his mind completely immersed in the medicine cauldron. A large amount of spiritual power was frantically poured into it, constantly compressing that ball of "Bamboo Leaf Pill" powder. The Bamboo Leaf Pill's medicinal properties, which had been stimulated, would occasionally burst out, desperately trying to break through Nie Kong's spiritual power seal.

  One oppression, one resistance...

  The two completely opposing sides started a tug-of-war, but Nie Kong's wood spiritual power, which had merged with the fire spiritual power element, was clearly more ferocious and violent. Moreover, with the little guy around "assisting in the chaos", occasionally stirring up the wind and flames through the walls of the medicine cauldron, the advantage gradually shifted towards Nie Kong.

  That lump of medicinal energy slowly shrank away...

  ……

  Time is like the sand in an hourglass, slowly trickling away. It's estimated that due to the difficulty of this fourth level, there are more grains of sand in the hourglass than in the first level.

  Bang!

  In the midst of a sudden loud explosion, the alchemist's crucible suddenly split into four pieces and fell to the ground with a crash. A cloud of dark smoke enveloped his face, causing his entire complexion to turn as black as ink, with hints of green light flickering within.

  It's hilarious!

  "Ahh!"

  The spiritual pharmacist was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what had happened, he let out an extremely unwilling howl. He punched the low table in front of him with great force. With a loud "crack", the low table split into four or five pieces. The spiritual pharmacist's fist continued its momentum and hit the wooden plank on the stairs below, punching out a large hole.

  That guy hadn't even reacted yet when he fell down from the hole.

  Plop!

  "Oh..."

  After a moment, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from under the high platform, and there was also a faint cry that echoed through the air.

  Several judges couldn't help but shake their heads and smile, fortunately the tables in this fourth round were extremely far apart, so there was no need to worry about similar outbursts affecting other alchemists.

  The crowd in the courtyard fell silent for a few seconds before bursting into thunderous laughter, with echoes almost ringing throughout the entire city of Jicheng.

  "That kid is really unlucky, he even managed to get himself beaten up..."

  "Haha, his cry is so strange, I wonder if it was when he fell down and the hole behind him was blown up by a wooden stake or something?"

  "To be honest, it's not the holes in the back that were blown up, but rather the ones in the front..."

  “……”

  Bang!

  Another loud explosion was heard from the high platform, and another male alchemist appeared, covered in black soot, with hair disheveled like a bird's nest. The clothes on his body had been blasted out by the powerful force of the medicine, revealing large holes everywhere. Most of his skin was exposed, making him look no different from a beggar.

  "Wow!"

  Louder and more intense laughter erupted from the crowd.

  That unlucky egg woke up, feeling cool below, looked down and suddenly let out a strange cry, hurriedly covered with both hands, turned around and ran away, revealing two large white buttocks swaying in the cold wind. The women in the courtyard blushed and lowered their heads, but there were also bold people who followed the surrounding men and cheered together.

  That Ling medicine master ran to the edge of the high platform, stopped and didn't stop, and shouted loudly as he jumped down. His figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a long piece of cloth floating in the air, very cool.

  "Another one!"

  Some people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic started whistling and shouting loudly, and the various corners of the village began to echo with eerie and strange laughter.

  Now, only two men are left on the high platform, the Fourth Prince will not be eliminated so easily, and that guy with the variable spiritual power does not seem like he will fail soon. If someone else's cauldron explodes again, it must be those young and beautiful women without a doubt.

  In a crowded place, a beautiful female pharmacist was suddenly blown away by the power of medicine, and her clothes were exposed. The sudden flash of spring light was...

  Temptation!

  The eyes of the male animals in the crowd began to heat up, especially those young men with excessive hormones, who directly turned their eyes into cow eyes, staring tightly at the high platform without blinking. If they missed the most wonderful scene due to a momentary lapse, it would be too regrettable.

  "Bang!" After a long-awaited moment, the intense explosion of the medicine cauldron finally came again from the high platform. The owner of the medicine cauldron was actually a young girl!

  "Ah, okay..."

  In the courtyard, people started shouting excitedly, as if they wanted to grow a pair of wings on their eyes and fly in front of the girl to take a closer look. However, just as the cheering voices had barely escaped their throats, those guys who were expecting the girl's radiant appearance suddenly became dumbfounded, because they...

  Nothing is seen!

  The girl's coat was blown to pieces, but inside there was a white robe, also made of unknown material, which did not even have a tiny seam. The girl shook her head with some regret and disappointment, smiled lightly, stood up straight, and walked down the high platform with a gentle swaying motion.

  A stifled sigh escaped from the crowd.

  No matter what others think, the competition on the high platform is proceeding like wildfire. Unlike Nie Kong's calmness, almost everyone else has used their full strength.

  Especially the fourth prince, Cheng Zixuan, whose right hand grasped the fire spirit power, suddenly swift and slow, suddenly strong and weak, like a fire spirit dancing around the medicine cauldron. Indeed, he was worthy of being a third-grade spiritual pharmacist, with exquisite control over the fire during alchemy, and the brilliant red light, like a gorgeous sunset, illuminated his handsome face even more majestically...
