Chapter 2103 - 2104: No Pill Furnace at All! (Three Updates)

At this moment, the other contestants displayed their impressive extraction techniques.

In contrast, Ling Feng’s methods seemed rather standard, as if there’s nothing exceptional.

It’s worth mentioning that his hand speed is incredibly fast!

Fast enough to almost create afterimages!

"Wait a moment!"

In the next instant, Tao Hong’s eyes revealed a look of disbelief.

Because Ling Feng actually used ordinary refining techniques to perfectly extract the Dragon Soul from the Jiao Long Horn!

The perfection level seemed even higher than that of the Re-hit Alchemist’s "Heavenly Net Around Finger Soft".

"This... how is this possible?"

Shock appeared in Tao Hong’s eyes; if the Purple Robed Alchemist and the Re-hit Alchemist impressed him, Ling Feng’s performance was truly astonishing.

He asked himself, even using ordinary refining techniques, he might not achieve such perfection as Ling Feng did.

Similarly, the Great Elder Yain Zhong of the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion was closely observing Ling Feng.

This gamble was tied to the vital interests of the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, which naturally made him nervous.

After about a cup of tea’s time, the first to finish refining was still the Re-hit Alchemist.

Next was the Purple Robed Alchemist of the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion.

The third was Ling Feng.

Unlike other alchemists, who looked sweaty and anxious, these three had an incomparable confidence on their faces.

A Sixth-level Elixir is far from their limit.

Ultimately, only four contestants remained, besides Ling Feng, there was another alchemist from the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion.

Lio Jun did not manage to advance, but successfully making it through one round proved his capability.

Among the top four, two were alchemists from the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, giving Great Elder Yain Zhong some relief.

"Next, refine a Sixth-grade top-quality elixir, the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill!"

Tao Hong rose and announced loudly: "The Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, though a Sixth-grade Elixir, its refining difficulty is not below Seventh-grade, and only by condensing three elixir patterns can it be considered complete!"

The audience immediately erupted in discussion.

Only with condensed elixir patterns is it considered completed, indicating that this round demands true skill from each alchemist.

"Ordinary treasure-level pill furnaces are no longer suitable; for this round, you can choose to use your own prepared pill furnace, or use the Spiritual Artifact Level elixir furnace provided by the organizers!"

Tao Hong explained slowly.

While using one’s own furnace might seem unfair, in reality, alchemists have their most comfortable furnaces, and pursuing the path of alchemy is indeed an expensive endeavor.

If they can’t afford a pill furnace, how can they qualify as high-level alchemists?

Suddenly, beams of light flashed!

Except for Ling Feng, the other three alchemists chose their own furnaces.

All of them, Fake Holy Artifacts!

Alchemists really do have money!

Ling Feng’s face looked bitter; unable to open the Spirit Storage Ring, he resigned himself to using the organizers’ ordinary furnace.

In fact, he considered using the Great Creation Technique to directly create a Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod, which would certainly be more helpful than ordinary furnaces, but simultaneously maintaining the Abnormal Fire and Yin Yang Xuanhuo Tripod, while refining pills, would overextend his Divine Sense.

If the pills aren’t completed before the furnace disappears, then it’s all for nothing!

Rather than risk that, it’s better to use the ordinary Spiritual Artifact Level furnace.

After all, he’s not lacking!

The next moment, Ling Feng walked towards one of the Spiritual Artifact Level furnaces; out of the top four, he was the only one using the organizer’s ordinary furnace.

"Whoa? He doesn’t even have his own furnace?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this guy joking?"

Seeing Ling Feng choose the ordinary furnace, the Great Elder of Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a safe bet!

Refining the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill with just an ordinary Spiritual Artifact Level furnace adds quite a challenge!

Ling Feng is undoubtedly out this round.

And Tao Hong also furrowed his brows, as an alchemist without his own dedicated furnace.

He couldn’t understand how this guy made it this far; it truly brought shame to the identity of an alchemist.

Ling Feng really had a hard time explaining.

You believe the money in my Spirit Storage Ring is enough to bury you? Too bad, more money is meaningless if I can’t access it.

"Looks like the outcome is decided."

Tao Hong shook his head, glancing at Ling Feng with some regret.

"However, this child has first-rate talent; possibly taking him as a disciple for training and he might achieve success in three to five years."

Tao Hong thought inwardly.

If Ling Feng knew his thoughts, he would probably laugh out loud.

You want to take me as an Outer Disciple?

Are you worthy?

This round, Ling Feng still employed basic alchemical techniques, in others’ eyes, it’s nothing outstanding. As for Abnormal Fire, others have it too, and they have higher-quality furnaces!

Hence, most attention was focused on the Re-hit Alchemist and Purple Robed Alchemist.

Lio Jun kept an eye on Ling Feng, feeling somewhat nervous inside.

He had great faith in Ling Feng, but the competitors weren’t simple.

Lio Yunyan and Xiao Cui subconsciously clenched their fists; the Elixir King event related to the fate of Yuntian Commerce, and further involved Lio Yunyan’s future!

Lio Yunyan even regretted not buying a suitable furnace for Ling Feng before the Elixir King event, knowing it was approaching.

Even if it meant going bankrupt, it would’ve been worth it!

Time ticked away little by little.

Finally, the contest ended!

Tao Hong inspected the pills of four contestants and was greatly surprised by the results.

However, after repeated confirmations, he finally took a deep breath and announced gravely: "This round’s advancing contestants: Ling Feng and Guu Kun!"

Guu Kun, as it turned out, was the name of Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion’s Purple Robed Alchemist.

"What?"

The Re-hit Alchemist almost thought he heard wrong and immediately shouted out, "Impossible! How could I not advance? Senior Tao, I question the result! I don’t believe it! Never!"
