Chapter 90: Moon in the Sea

Unlike general pill refining, the pill refining competition requires manual selection of materials.

There is a large pile of various materials in front of each person, some of which are useful, while some are useless. Both parties need to select the materials that can be used to refine the Purple Star Pill from these materials in a very short time.

Then, there is a series of steps, such as heating the furnace, adding materials, purification, fusion, and pill condensation.

Master Wang carefully carried out this series of steps, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After completing the fusion step, Master Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. He performed well in this pill refining today. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to condense the pill successfully in a while.

While waiting for the pill to condense, Master Wang turned his head to look at Su Chen, wanting to see how far Su Chen had refined it.

As a result, the scene in front of him stunned Master Wang. He saw Su Chen sitting beside his pill furnace contentedly, with a large pile of materials placed next to him intact, and he himself, with his eyes slightly closed, was actually meditating.

Su Chen has not started to refine the pill yet!

Master Wang was surprised and angry. What does Su Chen mean by this? Does he look down on him?

Or did Su Chen know that he would not win, so he simply gave up refining?

The three referees outside the field also looked at each other. Su Chen's behavior made them all confused. If he felt that he could not win, he could not have agreed to the pill battle in the first place. What's the matter with agreeing but sitting here in a daze?

One hour's time, but half an hour has passed. If he doesn't start refining, it will be too late. The Purple Star Pill is not like the Clear Dew Pill just now. It takes a lot of time to refine.

However, no matter what the expressions of the people present were, Su Chen himself always kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he was isolated from the world and had entered his own rhythm.

It was not until half an hour had passed that Su Chen opened his eyes leisurely.

Although he has returned to his youth, he was once the emperor of the alchemy domain. It was bullying to lower his status and compete with a second-grade alchemist. If those old ghosts in his previous life knew that he competed with a second-grade alchemist, they would definitely laugh at him for bullying a three-year-old child.

So, the half an hour just now was given to Master Wang. From now on, it depends on your ability.

After Su Chen opened his eyes, his expression changed immediately, and he naturally revealed the demeanor of a great master. He first opened the alchemy furnace

Then, Su Chen stretched out his hand again and swept all the materials at his hand into the alchemy furnace.

Clang!

The sound of a large pile of materials being poured into the alchemy furnace made the referees even more stunned. This was not a normal alchemy, but an alchemy competition. There were many materials that could not be used in the Purple Star Pill. What was Su Chen going to do?

Among all the people, only Master Mo remained calm. He believed that Su Chen would not do something he was not sure of for no reason.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Chen slowly controlled the fire while rhythmically patting the furnace with his other hand. Every time he patted his palm, a herb would fly out of the furnace. Everyone looked carefully and found that these herbs were exactly the ones that the Purple Star Pill could not use.

Su Chen actually picked out these herbs halfway through the refining process!

They had never heard of this refining method. The key was, how exquisite control ability was needed to achieve this?

Purification, fusion... Su Chen quickly carried out the next steps. His movements were still like the refining of the Clear Dew Pill just now. At first glance, it felt completely messy and without rules, but if you look closely, you will find it extremely strange and mysterious.

The three referees and Master Mo were all proficient in the way of alchemy. Unconsciously, their eyes were firmly attracted by Su Chen's techniques and they were fascinated by it.

Master Wang was also very angry when he saw this scene. How could this be possible? That guy was obviously refining in a hurry, but why were the three referees and Master Mo watching with relish!

Holding his breath in his chest, Master Wang secretly vowed to refine his Purple Star Pill to perfection, so as to severely slap Su Chen and these guys in the face.

Refocusing his attention on his own pill, Master Wang began the last step, condensing the pill.

And because he was holding his breath, his performance this time was also exceptionally good. The sound of the pill embryo rolling "gurgling" soon sounded in the pill furnace.

Master Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that it was great. He performed very well this time. It was certain that the refining would succeed. Maybe the finished pill could reach ten stars!

After another moment, Master Wang, the pill was done!

Master Wang opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and carefully took out the finished pill. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Ten-star Purple Star Pill!"

With the level of a second-grade alchemist, being able to refine a ten-star Purple Star Pill is already a very proud thing. Today, I will definitely win!

Master Wang happily put the ten-star Purple Star Pill into a small porcelain bottle and went to pay attention to Su Chen's situation.

At this time, Su Chen's fusion step had just ended and he was ready to start the last step, condensing the pill.

But, the key point now is that there is only a quarter of an incense stick left.

Only a quarter of an incense stick is needed to condense the pill?

Master Wang secretly laughed. For a second-grade alchemist, this is absolutely impossible. Even a third-grade alchemist finds it difficult to complete the condensation steps of such a complex pill as the Purple Star Pill in such a short time.

As for Su Chen being a third-grade alchemist, Master Wang absolutely does not believe it. The number of third-grade alchemists in the entire Anyang County can be counted on one hand.

The three referees also shook their heads secretly. Although Su Chen has given them too many surprises so far, it is absolutely impossible to condense the Purple Star Pill in a quarter of an incense stick.

"It's a pity. If it is not completed within the specified time, it will be considered a failure. However, I think we can let Master Su continue to refine the pill after the time limit is over, otherwise it will be a pity."

A referee said, and he didn't even realize that he had changed his address to Su Chen to Master Su without realizing it.

Although Su Chen should not be able to complete the condensation of the pill this time, it was because Su Chen had wasted half an hour before, not because Su Chen's alchemy skills were not good enough. Therefore, the three judges still recognized Su Chen's alchemy skills in their hearts.

Master Mo said: "Don't worry, the time limit has not ended yet, let's see first."

The three judges shook their heads. They could understand Master Mo's optimism about Su Chen, but in their opinion, it was impossible for Su Chen to complete the condensation of the pill in such a short time.

It was at this moment.

Then Su Chen, who was beside the alchemy furnace, uttered four words softly.

"Bright Moon in the Sea!"

As soon as the voice fell, Su Chen placed his hands on the wall of the alchemy furnace, and his palms released strands of true essence, constantly impacting the wall of the alchemy furnace with a strange rhythm.

Under this impact, the lid of the alchemy furnace suddenly flew high, and a green flame burst out of it, like a green light column rushing into the sky, lifting the lid of the alchemy furnace high to the ceiling.

This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone present!
