Chapter 317: Challenging the Limit
The Hundred Beasts Pill and the Soul Pill refined by Shen Xiang were placed in a box. This box was also specially prepared by Danxiang Taoyuan to prevent cheating.
After refining the Yuanshen Pill, Shen Xiang closed his eyes and recovered the strength and energy he had just consumed, because next he was going to refine the Five Elements Zhenyuan Pill that he had refined before.
He bought two five-colored mysterious fruits at the auction, and then Elder Dan gave him two five-colored lotus seeds, five-colored Ganoderma lucidum and five-leaf clover.
There are two sets of medicinal materials in total, but he can only refine one because he must leave one for planting.
Now many people began to speculate what kind of low-grade Xuan-level pill Shen Xiang would use. Many people suspected that it was a Foundation Building Pill, especially Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong, who had received many Foundation Building Pills from Shen Xiang.
If he had the Qingxuan Fruit now, he would have started refining it long ago.
"Does he still want to refine it? He doesn't have the Qingxuan Fruit anymore. If he wanted to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would have started refining it a long time ago. The Foundation Establishment Pill is easier to refine than the Yuanshen Pill." Liu Meng'er said doubtfully.
Hua Xiangyue looked at Shen Xiang who was resting, her brows furrowed, her face filled with an indescribable seriousness, and also a little surprise. She seemed to have seen something, but could not confirm it.
"What's wrong?" Liu Meng'er asked immediately when she saw Hua Xiangyue's expression.
"I'm not sure, let's wait and see! From whom did this little rascal learn alchemy to reach this level?" Hua Xiangyue shook her head.
Suddenly, she saw Shen Xiang took out a large pile of medicinal herbs. Her pupils suddenly shrank, her body trembled slightly, and her breathing became very rapid: "Impossible, this kid has achieved that?"
Seeing Hua Xiangyue's face change drastically, Liu Meng'er could tell that Shen Xiang must have done something amazing. She said, "Isn't that the Five-Colored Mysterious Fruit he bought at the auction? There are also some others... Could this be the material for the Five Elements True Essence Pill? "
Hua Xiangyue let out a long breath, closed her beautiful eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, that is the five-color refining, colorless Ganoderma lucidum, five-leaf clover! He definitely has never refined the Five Elements True Essence Pill before, but now he wants to try..."
"What?" Liu Meng'er was startled and her face changed slightly: "He wants to refine a pill that he has never refined before in this situation. Could it be that... he understands the refining method you mentioned?"
"Hmm! That's why I suspect that if he knows how to perform alchemy, then it means there must be an alchemist with extraordinary alchemy skills guiding him behind him!"
Some alchemists with good eyesight recognized the dazzling colorful medicinal materials that Shen Xiang took out at a glance, which caused a group of alchemists to discuss in low voices.
The Five Elements True Essence Pill is the favorite of geniuses with multiple meridians. It is very useful for warriors with multiple meridians. It is said that one Five Elements True Essence Pill can upgrade the Zhenwu Realm from the first stage to the second stage. It contains a large amount of true energy. Even if you don't have multiple meridians, you can take it, because the true energy produced after the Five Elements True Essence Pill is gathered is very special.
Shen Xiang guessed that kind of true qi was Qiankun true qi. This kind of true qi was indeed very magical and could be easily assimilated by one attribute. For example, after he fused the five elements of true qi, if he used the Qinglong Demon-Slaying Sword, he could also stimulate powerful wood-attribute true qi, which was equivalent to several times the power before the fusion.
"The two five-colored mysterious fruits at the auction must have been bought by this kid." Lian Yingxiao said. It was him and Shen Xiang who were fighting for them at that time.
"The Five Elements True Essence Pill seems to be much more expensive than the Foundation Establishment Pill. It is also a popular item in auctions. Taking a few pills can help people break through. It is known as the king among the lower-grade Xuan-level pills!" Gu Dongchen exclaimed.
The medicinal ingredients for the Five Elements True Essence Pill are not as rare as the Yuanshen Pill. They appear from time to time in the Chenwu Continent, so many alchemists are quite familiar with the Five Elements True Essence Pill.
Shen Xiang was processing the medicinal materials for the Five Elements True Essence Pill. In addition to the four main medicinal materials, there were also some other auxiliary medicinal materials that were more than three thousand years old. Generally, the auxiliary medicinal materials were things like ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that contained a large amount of pure spiritual energy.
Shen Xiang processed the medicinal materials a little slowly, not as skilled as before. It could be seen that he was a little unfamiliar with it, which made people wonder if he had never refined the Five Elements True Essence Pill before.
You should know that the medicinal materials for the Five Elements True Essence Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill are rare, and the difficulty of refining is comparable to that of the Soul Pill. However, the number of pills produced in one furnace is the same as that of the Hundred Beasts Pill, which is about six or seven. If Shen Xiang succeeds in refining it, he will undoubtedly be the first.
At this time, the other alchemists in the competition field had finished one after another. These alchemists all had the Hundred Beasts Pill. Their furnaces were very simple, and the success rate of refining the Hundred Beasts Pill was relatively high. Then they refined some other unconventional pills, which were both high and low in price. They were not like Shen Xiang who had so many rare medicinal materials to refine those noble Xuan-level lower-grade pills.
These alchemists are worthy of being at the sixth stage. They were able to complete the task successfully. None of them had their furnace explode, and none of them failed. After all, they were all made with a large amount of elixirs and had certain strengths.
Only Shen Xiang has not completed it. He now only has one last low-grade Xuan-level pill to refine. Time is limited and it will pass quickly.
Being able to witness others refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill made those alchemists' hearts beat fast with excitement. They seemed very excited, but they didn't know that Shen Xiang was refining it for the first time and was under tremendous pressure.
The participating alchemists naturally did not want Shen Xiang to succeed, otherwise they would have no chance of winning.
"This little rascal is indeed refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill for the first time, and he really dares to do it. If he succeeds, it means that he has mastered the essence of the refining method!" Hua Xiangyue frowned slightly. She suffered a lot in order to learn the refining method, but Shen Xiang started learning it when he was less than 30 years old. This made her very jealous of Shen Xiang's talent.
When Shen Xiang was resting just now, he listened carefully to Su Meiyao's explanation of the key points of refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill. She has not finished until now. Now he has also processed the medicinal materials.
The reason why he processed the herbs so slowly was that he was using his spiritual sense to see through them. He had to understand them thoroughly before he could perform precise refining. Now he felt that it was almost done, he took a deep breath and released the magic furnace.
Seeing Shen Xiang stop processing the herbs, they knew he had finished. Everyone held their breath and watched carefully, worried that they would miss every detail, because this kind of scene was not easy to see, and they might only see it once in their lifetime.
Hua Xiangyue and Liu Meng'er were also very nervous. If Shen Xiang really mastered the refining method, this kind of talent would be incredible.
The same was true for Su Meiyao, Bai Youyou and Long Xueyi. They were all a little nervous.
The entire stadium was suddenly shrouded in a very depressing and tense atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.
