Chapter 756: The Third Level

Qingyang had roughly inferred before that the first level of the competition was about ordinary elixirs at the foundation-building level, and the second level was about refining the difficult elixir Jueyaodan among the elixirs at the foundation-building level. Then the third level must be about refining ordinary elixirs at the golden elixir level. Juyuandan is the most commonly used among the ordinary elixirs at the golden elixir level, so the third level of the competition is likely to be about refining Juyuandan.

It was precisely because of this inference that Qingyang first read the last few volumes of Yuandan Zhenjie on the bookshelf before, and then tried to choose books related to Juyuandan refining.

Qingyang's inference was correct. The topic this time was indeed about refining Juyuandan, but this Juyuandan was slightly changed, slightly different from what Qingyang had refined before, equivalent to a new and unfamiliar elixir, and the difficulty was higher than directly refining Juyuandan.

When he was at Duanmu's house, Qingyang tried to refine Juyuan Dan and raised the success rate to 15%. After passing the second level, Qingyang looked through the complete version of the Yuandan Zhenjie and the experience and insights of Qianshou Dan Wang in front of the bookshelf. His alchemy skills have improved slightly, so Qingyang has about 20% confidence in refining ordinary Juyuan Dan. Now that the recipe has been slightly changed, I don't know if I can still maintain this level. I don't know what the requirements of this level are. If it is 20%, I can still try hard. If it is 30%, I can't reach it even if I kill myself.

After thinking for a long time, Qingyang reached out and took the Nawu Talisman on the platform and began to count the materials inside. When all the counting was completed, Qingyang's face suddenly showed a smile.

There are thirteen materials in the Nawu Talisman, three more than Qingyang expected. With his 20% success rate, it is still difficult to refine three Juyuan Dan with thirteen materials, but it is much easier than ten. As long as you are careful, there is still a possibility of success.

In fact, this is normal. The Pill King Association is for the Thousand-Handed Pill King to find a successor for himself, rather than a competition between Pill Kings. It is more about talent and potential, rather than the actual alchemy skills. If the cultivator is the Pill King, why must he inherit the Thousand-Handed Pill King?

However, it is a high requirement to refine three Juyuan Pills with thirteen materials. The success rate needs to reach 23%. Although it is not the level of the Pill King, it is almost the level of the Quasi-Pill King. No wonder the inheritance of the Thousand-Handed Pill King has not been obtained by anyone for so many years.

After counting the materials, Qingyang closed his eyes and sat quietly in front of the pill furnace. He went through the entire Juyuan Pill refining steps in his mind, and recalled the contents about Juyuan Pill that he saw on the bookshelf. He was more or less confident in his heart.

Juyuan Pill is not difficult for Qingyang. The difficulty lies in the modified materials. Qingyang compared those materials with the original materials, found the deviations, and analyzed their pharmacology and medicinal properties. He made additions, subtractions and adjustments as appropriate, which should not affect the success of the pill.

This time, Qingyang did not look at other people's reactions. He put all his energy into the upcoming pill refining. He took out a few spiritual materials and lit them under the pill furnace. While baking the pill furnace, he took out some main materials.

The aperture this time was much larger than before, and the space was also spacious. In order to avoid mistakes in the process of pill refining, Qingyang took out some important or difficult materials in advance and placed them in sight according to their importance and usage habits.

When the pill furnace was baked to a certain degree, Qingyang felt that the temperature was almost right. He took the first material, processed it briefly in his hands, and threw it into the pill furnace at the right time. Qingyang used both hands and divine thoughts to observe the changes in the pill furnace while processing the second material.

Everyone knows that this third level is not only about the alchemy skills, but also about speed. So when Qingyang started to refine the first material, the other three people also got busy.

The difficulty of the pill formula seemed to be beyond Lu Yuan's expectations. He took the pill formula and read it several times. He frowned and thought for a long time without any clue. However, time was tight. Seeing that Qingyang had already started, he dared not delay any longer, so he threw the pill formula on the platform, flicked his sleeves lightly, swept the pill furnace on the ground aside, and then took out his cloud pattern Ruyi Ding and placed it in front of him, ignited the spiritual materials and began to refine the pill.

Xia Meng's situation was similar. Although he also guessed the topic of the third level and made targeted preparations in advance, he still had no confidence after reading the pill formula. But at this point, it was impossible to admit defeat. He had to fight anyway. The pill formula did not say that he was required to refine three Juyuan Pills. Maybe two or even one would be qualified? He thought this level was difficult, and maybe it was more difficult in the minds of others. As long as he could refine it earlier than others, the victory would be his.

Xia Meng figured everything out quickly. After adjusting his mentality, he took out the Earth Core Fire Furnace, set it under the furnace in front of him, and began the preparations for refining.

Ximen Li had been wearing a bamboo hat, and her expression could not be seen to change, but since she had not made any other movements since she picked up the recipe, it was known that she was also stumped by the questions of this level.

Ximen Li knew very well that among the four people present, her alchemy skills were probably the lowest. She barely passed the previous level with super performance. If she had not used her specialty, the Ghost Hand Solid Alchemy Skill, at the critical moment, she would probably not have had the possibility of reaching this level.

She knew this level was more difficult, but she still came because she knew she couldn't afford to lose, because he represented not only herself, but also the Ximen family. Judging from the postures of the others, they would not give up until they achieved their goal this time, and the Dan King inheritance would most likely be snatched away by them.

There is only one Dan King inheritance, and what is the point of the Dan King Conference without the Dan King inheritance? I'm afraid that even the Dan King Conference will be cancelled in the future. In other words, as long as she fails this time, the Dan King inheritance will have nothing to do with her and the Ximen family.

So whether it is for herself or for the Ximen family, she must fight hard this time, and must do her best, and must not leave any regrets for herself and the Ximen family.

After a struggle of thoughts, Ximen Li seemed to have found a little confidence. Seeing that the other three had already started, Ximen Li did not dare to delay any more time, and quickly ignited the spiritual materials to start refining the elixir.

Although Ximen Li started late, her technique was better than others, and it was not difficult to catch up with others. Her two hands were like ghosts, moving at such an extremely fast speed that only residual shadows could be seen. Combined with the coordination of her divine thoughts, it was like a feast of performance.
