Chapter 166: The Power of the Jade Cauldron

? Once upon a time, Liu Gan refined a batch of top-quality Condensed Yuan Pills by means of combined refining in front of the public. At that time, there was a burst of exclamation from the onlookers, which shows how rare this top-quality elixir is.

But this time, Jin Hongze's potion of pills, although not all of them are top-grade pills, but Nine Turns Returning Soul Pill is a standard master-level pill, while Ningyuan Pill is just a master-level pill. Therefore, the value and significance of these top-quality pills in Jin Hongze's batch of pills are far from comparable to those of Condensing Yuan Pills.

What's more, Jin Hongze modified the original prescription according to the requirements of the title, replacing the precious herbs with some cheap ones. According to common sense, doing so will often lead to a decrease in the grade of the pill, and it is not easy to really refine the pill, let alone refine the top-grade pill.

From this point of view, let alone Jin Hongze's character, just because of his attainments in alchemy, he is indeed worthy of the name of a master of alchemy.

Moreover, there is a comparison next to them, they are also alchemy masters, Yan Xinghe and others were immediately compared. Not to mention who will win in the end, at least from the quality of this pill, Jin Hongze obviously won the first round.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience changed direction again, as if they had supported Jin Hongze from the very beginning.

"I've heard it a long time ago. Among our alchemy masters in the Southern Region, Grandmaster Jin is said to be second in alchemy attainments, and no one dares to rank first! Now it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved. Even Master Yan of the Alchemy Sect You have to bow down."

"That's right, I read the previous rumors. It's likely that someone wants to discredit Grandmaster Jin. With Grandmaster Jin's ability, is it worthwhile to care about those juniors?"

"Hey, tell me, is there someone who is afraid that Grandmaster Jin will be compared to himself on the stage, so they use such a dirty method to force Grandmaster Jin to withdraw from the Grandmaster's performance?"

"It's really possible!"

And on the high platform, Jin Hongze took the elixir and stood there quietly, looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees, as if a lonely master. Of course, his ears were stunned, and he listened carefully to the various discussions in the audience, and his heart was already about to burst into joy.

It doesn't matter if you play so many tricks, and it doesn't matter if you release images, in the end it depends on your strength! Jin Hongze turned his head to look at Ye Zan, he couldn't help but sneered again.

It turned out that several masters had already stopped working one after another, but Ye Zan was still busy there. Moreover, people can clearly see that the alchemy formulas used by Ye Zan are very common, even very low-level.

At this time, Liu Qian's side finally turned on the furnace. It's just a pity that he didn't perform the miracle before, and the quality of the elixir refined in this furnace is all middle-grade and low-grade.

Moreover, Liu Gan did not make too many modifications to the original pill recipe, at most, he replaced some insignificant auxiliary materials. After all, he is just a newly promoted alchemy master, and he hasn't done much research on many master-level pills, so it's not easy to refine them.

Of course, for everyone in the audience, they don't think about it. What they saw in their eyes was losing and winning. Seeing that Liu Gan had obviously lost to Jin Hongze, there would be no good words in his mouth.

"Junior, if you can't practice, just give up. Don't waste everyone's time here. The fellows below are not interested in watching you put on a show." Seeing that Ye Zan was still busy there, Jin Hongze couldn't help but speak. sneered.

Logically speaking, Jin Hongze's performance like this really doesn't fit his status. However, everyone in the audience didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and instead started booing. Therefore, the attitude of the people who eat melons is actually very fickle, so many people don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

However, Ye Zan didn't stop his hands and replied casually without turning his head: "Is there a specified time for the topic?"

For this question, the first requirement is cheap, and the second requirement is low difficulty, but it does not say how long it must be practiced.

"Even if there is no set time, don't you still have to practice for ten days and half a month? Do you want me to wait forever?" Jin Hongze raised his hand and gestured to the audience as he spoke, obviously wanting to incite Look at the people in the audience.

Sure enough, as soon as Jin Hongze's words came out, people in the audience immediately echoed, yelling at Ye Zan to hurry up and stop wasting everyone's time.

"Shut up, you still look like an alchemist waiting! If you don't want to wait, you can leave. If you speak to disturb the alchemist of the master, the alchemy conference will record his name and surname and list him as an unwelcome person." Yan Xinghe saw that the noise below was getting more and more excessive, and finally stood up and sternly reprimanded him.

"What is the meaning of Daoist Yan? When did the Alchemy Dao Conference become so overbearing that no one else was allowed to speak?" Jin Hongze immediately grasped this point and asked Yan Xinghe with a righteous face.

Jin Hongze's behavior immediately attracted applause from the audience, and he seemed to be a man of justice who defied power and had the courage to speak out for the lower class people.

"You...don't talk nonsense!" Yan Xinghe was momentarily speechless.

However, at this moment, a cold snort came from the wooden building. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to hit everyone's heart. And with this cold snort, everyone in the audience immediately became quiet, as quiet as if a needle could be heard.

Then, a figure came out of the wooden building and walked up the platform slowly.

"I have seen the Jade Cauldron!" Yan Xinghe and the others bowed quickly when they saw the person coming.

It turns out that this person is today's presenter of the question and the person who provided the prize, the Jade Cauldron of the Danding Sect.

This Jade Cauldron Master has black hair coiled on top of his head, a white jade Taoist crown is buttoned on top, he is dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, with three long beards floating on his chest. Looking at it, he seemed to be in his forties or fifties, and he seemed to be a little younger than Yan Xinghe. However, anyone who knows him knows that he is now over a thousand years old, and his cultivation has reached the late Yuanshen stage.

Facing the Jade Tripod Master, Jin Hongze didn't dare to be rude in the slightest, he quickly bowed respectfully and deeply, and said, "Junior Jin Hongze, pay homage to the Jade Tripod Master!"

"Well, excuse me," said Yuding Shangzun, then turned to look under the high platform.

But all those who made a fuss before, all lowered their heads when the gaze of the Jade Cauldron passed by, wishing they could slip through a crack in the ground. They don't mean to be ashamed, the key is that they are really scared! That is the alchemy master, the primordial spirit is powerful, a big man who can determine life and death with a word!

Master Yu Ding withdrew his gaze, looked at Yan Xinghe and the others, and said indifferently: "It seems that you all have results, so take out your respective elixirs."

Upon hearing this, several masters took out the elixirs they had just refined, held them up in front of their hands, and waited for the Jade Cauldron to examine them personally.

Since he is a newly-promoted alchemy master, Ye Zan's alchemy position is at the very edge. Seeing that Ye Zan was still busy, Yuding Shangzun passed Ye Zan and came to Liu Gan.

"Greetings, my lord, this pill is the Nine Turns Returning Soul Pill refined by this junior, please give me your advice." Liu Gan opened the box and presented the elixir inside in front of the Jade Cauldron.

"Well," Master Yuding didn't get started, just glanced at it, nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay. Although there are not many improvements, the refining method has not changed. But with your ability, you can refine it. , and have a little opinion of your own, it’s not easy.”

"This junior is ashamed." Liu Gan said hastily.

Yuding Shangzun took two more steps and came to Li Ziliang.

Li Ziliang failed in alchemy and couldn't get anything out, so he bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Your junior is very ashamed that he failed to refine the nine-turn soul-returning pill."

"If you don't have a calm heart, how can you make alchemy." Master Yuding left a comment and walked towards Yan Xinghe.

Li Ziliang blushed after hearing the comments from the Supreme Master Yuding, glanced at Jin Hongze over there, and sighed helplessly. His restlessness was obviously caused by Jin Hongze, but in the final analysis, it was still because of his own lack of practice.

Then, Yuding Shangzun evaluated the pills of Yan Xinghe and the other two alchemy masters in turn. And compared to before, he also said a little more, from the combination of herbs to the changes in the refining method, all three of them benefited a lot.

Finally, Yuding Shangzun came to Jin Hongze and saw the elixir in Jin Hongze's hand.

"Well, this method is very good." After seeing Jin Hongze's elixir, Master Yuding finally uttered a very high evaluation.

A word of "great kindness" immediately made Jin Hongze look happy, and it was a great honor to receive such a comment from Master Dan Dao. The comments from the previous few people were only "fair", "ok", and "good". And this "great kindness" can be said to be the highest evaluation, which also means that there is no suspense in this competition, and Jin Hongze has already stood at the highest point.

As for the people in the audience, when they heard the comments of the Jade Cauldron to Jin Hongze, all of them showed longing looks on their faces, wishing that the person was themselves. At the same time, everyone's eyes also turned to Ye Zan who was still busy. At this time, Ye Zan was already like a clown in their eyes, and everyone believed that the winner would be Jin Hongze.

However, after appraising everyone, the Jade Cauldron Venerable returned to Ye Zan, patiently watching Ye Zan busy without saying a word.

Will there be any surprises? The people in the audience gradually became impatient, but they didn't dare to make as much noise as before. The Jade Cauldron Venerable waited patiently, so they didn't have the nerve to say anything to waste time.

Time passed gradually, and finally Ye Zan stopped, and slapped the alchemy furnace with his palm, the lid of the alchemy furnace flew to the side, and a cloud of clouds flew out with more than a dozen pills.

"Hey, what grade is this? It doesn't look like a top grade, but it doesn't look like an ordinary grade either!" Everyone in the audience, seeing the elixir in Yunxia, ​​was surprised and puzzled.

It turned out that these elixirs refined by Ye Zan did not have the iconic silver light of top-quality elixirs, but each one was crystal clear. (To be continued.)
