Moreover, looking around, all the other examinees were slowly rummaging through the piles of spirit herbs, not even close to Lu Yun, who with just a hint of intention, could accurately find the required spirit herbs for the pill recipe.
“It seems this little fellow is definitely going to pass the exam.” Deng He sighed.
Jiang Wen, standing nearby, gazed at Lu Yun, as if deep in thought.
Seeing Lu Yun effortlessly find the target spirit herb without any physical effort, Di Ruoling, who was separated from him by only a wall, had her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
“This Brother Lu Yun seems a bit extraordinary, interesting.” She laughed softly and began selecting spirit herbs according to the pill recipe.
Alchemy is a technical skill, selecting spirit herbs quickly does not mean that the speed of alchemy will also be fast, nor does it mean that the quality of the pill will be high.
Although she couldn’t compete with Lu Yun in the first part, she was confident in surpassing him in the following steps.
At this moment, Lu Yun was naturally unaware that his every move was being observed by three old-timers, nor did he realize that Di Ruoling, who was just a wall apart from him, was secretly competing with him.
He placed charcoal in the Alchemy Furnace, ignited it, and the flame began to rise.
“How inconvenient, it seems 1 need to find a fire seed as soon as possible.” Lu Yun thought to himself.
To become a Fourth Grade Alchemist, you need to reach Level Four in Alchemy Technique, possess pill recipes, and have your own spiritual fire.
These three conditions are essential, and all must be met.
Under the influence of Pure Yang Aura, the flame in the furnace began to burn vigorously. Once the flame reached a certain temperature, Lu Yun moved his thoughts, and a wisp of Pure Yang Aura swept up a spirit herb and tossed it into the furnace.
After refining the first spirit herb into liquid, he lowered the heat slightly, and began the purification process.
In a short while, yellow impurities gradually appeared on top. As the constant purification continued, more and more impurities were removed, making the liquid in the furnace purer and more translucent.
Once the purification was completed, the Pure Yang Aura wrapped it up and Lu Yun caught it in a jade bottle.
This process was repeated three more times.
During this process, Lu Yun seemed like an old hand. Even though the properties of each spirit herb were different and required different temperatures for refinement and purification, everything seemed easy in his hands, as if there were no difficulties at all.
It had something to do with his Level Two Alchemy Technique and his exquisite control of aggressive aura.
Seeing Lu Yun effortlessly refine and purify the four spirit herbs, Di Ruoling’s delicate lips parted, and her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
A soft thud sounded, and a spirit herb turned to ashes due to her distraction.
“All… it’s all because of that stinky Lu Yun, causing me to waste a spirit herb.”
Muttering in her heart, she quickly found another herb and started refining it again.
This time, she dared not be distracted and continued to watch Lu Yun.
If this spirit herb was wasted again, the exam would be considered a failure.
After refining and purifying the four spirit herbs, the last step was pill condensation.
Lu Yun was also proficient in this process, and under the control of the Pure Yang Aura, there was no danger of the furnace exploding.
The four translucent liquids fused into a new liquid which began to take shape under the heat of the flames.
Time flew by, and the sand in the hourglass continued to flow, with only two-thirds remaining.
At this point, most examinees had not yet completed the purification process and were starting to get nervous.
During alchemy, an unstable or restless mind is a major taboo, and so soft noises continued to come from the furnaces.
With his keen hearing, Lu Yun heard these noises and smiled slightly, then shifted his gaze back to the furnace.
At this moment, a round pill with a faint luster and a faint pill fragrance was finally formed. It flew out of the Alchemy Furnace.
As Lu Yun gave a light smile, the Pure Yang Aura gently moved, and the flame inside the furnace slowly extinguished.
With a flick of his fingers, the lid of the furnace opened, and a round, shimmering Body Tempering Pill flew out.
At the same time, Lu Yun gestured with his palm, and a delicate jade bottle appeared in his hand, accurately capturing the flying pili.
Lu Yun gently placed the jade bottle on the table, looked at the giant hourglass in the judges’ seats, and saw that only half of the sand remained.
He then turned to look at the other cubicles, and noticed that the fastest person had just completed the refining process.
Di Ruoling, who was closest to him, looked very focused, quite different from her usual lively and energetic demeanor.
“Could it be that she has changed her temperament?”
