Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Blast!

Liu Feng did not even turn, because he knew exactly what had happened. A pill like this, it was bound to have a few failures.

But these failures were going to be violent. With the heat that was required to thaw the frozen heart, all that heat would immediately backlash and the furnace would shake and maybe even crack!

Blast!

Another furnace blew up.

The alchemist behind this one glared at the one who messed up first. His concentration was disturbed because of this sudden sound, and that made him lose his control.

Now, he would no longer have a chance at the Xiantian Advancement Pill.

“Damn you-”

“Take this outside. There are people who are still working.” Pill Elder Qingshan coldly said and he waved his hand. The two alchemists disappeared from where they stood.

The other alchemists were trying their best not to be bothered by this commotion. Liu Feng, meanwhile, was having the easiest time.

For the first time in his life, he was not the underdog. With the highest cultivation in the field, he had the most probability of making this pill. In fact, if Liu Feng tried, he could get certified and become a Six petal alchemist. That meant that he would become a pill elder.

While the other alchemists were sweating profusely, Liu Feng happened to be quite cool. He was using his Dao to make sure that the temperature around him was regulated carefully as well.

He wanted to make sure that there would be no problem from any factors that he had control of.

The heart was slowly thawing, but Liu Feng could see that there was an endless energy within it. This was the heart of a beast that was an adept in the dao of Ice. Nature itself gave that beast its understanding of the dao.

The essence of the herbs had already gone into the heart by now. This was about to enter the second stage of the refinement process.

While many fail in the first step, it was not the hardest. As hard it may be to understand, the part where one would need extraordinary flame control was not the hardest step. After all, an alchemist would usually work under closed doors.

Only now did the alchemists have to work outside in front of everyone.

But in the second step, with the spirit herbs completely assimilating with the herb, one would need to face a backlash of the frozen heart itself.

At the final moment of thawing, when it would become complete liquid, the final will of the Snow Ape King would strike. And this would be deadly if one wasn’t prepared.

The Snow Ape King was not a joke. It was a beast in the Xiantian stage, and some could even be higher ranked. Even if it was a residual sentiment, it would attack.

An alchemist couldn’t even hope to have someone behind to protect him or her, because this will would only attack the alchemist directly. With the alchemist only inches away from the furnace and the frozen heart within, there was no way that any cultivator could step in within time.

That was why everyone had to be completely cautious about the Sage Nine Pill. From start to finish, every step required the most concentration that one could muster.

Blast!

At that moment, another alchemist left the competition. It was too much to take for him, and he could no longer continue.

Liu Feng’s eyebrows were knit. But he could not even be bothered about what happened to the alchemist next to him.

He snapped his fingers, and the heat rose a few degrees. But now that the essence had been extracted from the herbs, it was fine.

The blue tint on the frozen heart started diminishing, and all of a sudden, it showed the color that a heart was supposed to- blood red.

Roar!

Liu Feng felt his entire body shake, but he kept his ground. His qi was still flowing into the furnace and keeping the heat stable.

This was the residual will. It was quick and decisive, and it could even have a chance to cripple the alchemist who was making the pill. This was a double edged sword for the alchemist.

The furnace shook vigorously but Liu Feng forcefully suppressed it. He let the heart melt completely, and the flame also started dipping down.

In the sidelines, everyone was glaring at the center. And seeing Liu Feng lower the flame, it could only mean that he was either finishing his pill formation, or that he was giving up.

Master Mu’s eyes glinted as he looked keenly at what was happening. He was more experienced than anyone who was in the audience, and knew what was going on.

He himself had created the Sage Nine Pill once before, but that was a long time ago. And this was the last step. The pill formation step.

“Condense for me!” Liu Feng said with a coarse voice and poured more Qi into the furnace.

The furnace was loud, and there was rumbling.

Blast!

“A pity. It looked like he was in the final step, but it looks like even geniuses face days like this.” someone sighed.

“Wait a minute! The person who has been eliminated is not Liu Tian! It is someone else!” another suddenly realized.

Liu Feng was still trying to suppress the furnace and make sure that the pill formation would not botch.

Finally, the furnace settled down, and Liu Feng had a few seconds to relax. He took a few breaths and continued looking into the furnace.

Behind him though, the other geniuses were not having a good time. They were still in the first step. They did not hasten the process by increasing the heat, so they were about to finish the first stage of the pill formation.

And as if God was trying to crush their hearts, a bright sound rang.

Ding!!

This was the sweet sound of success.
