Chapter 550: Purifying Red Snake Stone

"Is he planning to use such a rubbish alchemy cauldron to make pills?"

"This alchemy cauldron is at most of the first grade, and there are even cracks on it. What on earth is this guy thinking?"

It must be said that the bronze cauldron that Su Chen took out was indeed eye-catching.

It was the rubbishest alchemy cauldron in the whole venue.

Su Chen was also helpless. He had not updated his alchemy equipment for a long time. It was normal that the level of this alchemy cauldron was not as good as that of the top alchemy geniuses in the capital.

Indeed, using a low-level alchemy cauldron would greatly limit Su Chen's performance. However, Su Chen believed that his attainments in alchemy skills were enough to make up for this shortcoming.

"As the owner of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, he shouldn't be so shabby, right?"

"I think that guy gave up on himself. He knew that he was no match for Lin Cheng, so he deliberately used such a rubbish alchemy cauldron!"

Everyone whispered, and for a moment, no one could guess Su Chen's thoughts.

Even Lin Cheng was stunned when he saw the bronze tripod.

Lin Cheng frowned and scanned Su Chen's bronze tripod for a long time. He was sure that there was nothing special about it. He couldn't help but snorted: "Playing tricks!"

Then, Lin Cheng also retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention to Su Chen!

He had his own rhythm and didn't want to be disturbed by Su Chen!

"Everyone, the time has come. Let's officially start today's finals."

He Yandan Wang announced, "The content of the finals is to refine the third-grade elixir, the Red Flame Pill on the spot!"

"The specific pill formula and raw materials will be distributed to you. The refining time is limited to one hour. Those who refine the pill within one hour will be ranked according to the final ranking based on the pill star level."

"If two people have the same pill star level, they will be ranked in order of the time of refining."

As soon as the voice fell.

Immediately, the competition staff delivered the pill formula to the 30 contestants.

"Red Flame Pill?"

Su Chen glanced at the pill formula. He knew that this Red Flame Pill was a third-grade pill.

There are several ways to refine the Red Flame Pill, and the pill formula distributed by the competition organizer is the most common one.

Although this refining method is relatively easy, it is not the best one.

At least Su Chen knows several other refining methods that can make the pill more effective.

At the moment, Su Chen simply threw the pill formula aside and recalled the refining methods he remembered in his previous life.

"That guy actually threw the pill formula aside?"

Several contestants not far away saw Su Chen's actions and couldn't help but secretly shook their heads, "It seems that he really gave up on himself!"

Just now, he made a bet with Lin Cheng in a fit of anger, and now he found that he had no chance of winning at all, so it is possible that he gave up on himself.

At the moment, many people no longer paid attention to Su Chen.

A person who gave up on himself is not worth paying attention to.

"Begin refining!"

With the order from Dan Wang He Yan, all the contestants immediately offered up the Dan fire and began to refine.

Various alchemy techniques were used one after another. The young alchemists who could reach the finals were not ordinary people.

However, the most eye-catching one was Lin Cheng.

Preheating, material selection, purification...

Lin Cheng skillfully completed each refining process, his technique was like flowing water, without any pause.

There is an important process in refining this Red Flame Pill, which is to purify the main material Red Snake Stone.

Red Snake Stone is a material from the extremely hot land. It has a hard texture and a high melting point, and is very difficult to purify. It takes five times of refining to successfully purify a whole piece of Red Snake Stone.

Therefore, this process has become a touchstone for testing the level of the alchemist. Weaker alchemists, their soul power level is not even enough to support five refinings, and their soul power is exhausted before completing five refinings.

The better alchemists can complete five refinings, but the speed of refining varies, some are fast, some are slow.

Generally speaking, those who can complete five refinings within a quarter of an hour are considered to be extremely talented.

At this moment, Lin Cheng began to refine the red snake stone.

He threw the red snake stone into the Nine Dragon Cauldron, covered the lid, and began to control the fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the sound of the red snake stone being refined continued to be heard.

After only half a quarter of an hour, Lin Cheng, who was sweating profusely, stopped operating the alchemy fire in his palm.

He opened the lid of the Nine Dragon Cauldron with a calm expression, and then patted the body of the cauldron. A ball of red liquid suddenly jumped out of the cauldron, hanging in the air and spinning continuously!

Hiss!

Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but gasp!

This ball of red liquid
