A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 428: Conflict between the Emperor and His Ministers

“That spiritual medicine should be the same as the magic spiritual grass.”

Lu Luan said in his heart.

Such a strong sense of hostility is not a good medicine.

If a highly intelligent elixir like ginseng is produced normally and obtained by a disciple of an immortal sect, it will generally not be used to make pills, but the sect will accept it as a disciple and make full use of it.

This can also be understood as spiritual medicines that have spiritual intelligence have life like humans. Using it to make pills is like using living things to make pills, which is not the way of immortals. This is why there are more spiritual medicines that have spiritual intelligence and can transform into human forms in the immortal world.

Of course, if it was obtained by independent cultivators or those families or gangs, it would not be certain. This is why Lu Luan has hardly seen any cultivators who have transformed themselves from elixirs like Xiao Shen when he traveled around the Wudu Sea in these years.

The competition continues.

The previous Li Weiming also persisted to the fourth round, but looking at his performance now, he is a little worse than others around him.

Everyone has begun to give their all. As long as they can pass the fourth round, they can advance into the top ten and go to Danhuo Peak of Daoxuan Sect to learn more advanced alchemy techniques.

You have to know that in Danhuo Peak, there are great alchemists who can refine fourth-grade elixirs. On Cangming Star, these are people at the level of the ancestors of alchemy. How can this not make these alchemists excited?

"It seems like they are serious about this."

Lu Luan murmured. He saw that the alchemists on the stage each took out more than 30 kinds of medicinal materials. Under the condition of similar quality, although the more quantities, the better the effect of the pill, the more complex the medicinal aroma would be, and the difficulty of refining would increase.

This is just a first-grade elixir. If it is a second-grade elixir, there will be dozens or even hundreds of them. The requirements for the soul, alchemy skills, and experience are terribly harsh. As for elixirs of the third grade and above, it is even more unimaginable.

The onlookers at the scene lowered their voices and watched intently.

"What are those plans?"

Everyone on the stage took out their strange fire and started to make pills, but only a few young men and women were not in a hurry. They were still taking out medicinal materials from their storage rings slowly.

Soon, there were more than thirty plants floating around each person.

After a few days of observation, he has sorted out those forces clearly. These are the people in the forces that Xu Feng talked about before. They are all the favorites to win the championship, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Yin, and Gui. In the third game, these people even refined a first-grade Yin-level pill within two hours. The pill refined by Li Weiming at the beginning of the round was only a C-level pill that was not of good quality.

The fourth round of competition lasted for four hours, which was enough time. It seemed that they wanted to refine higher-level pills.

Lu Luan deduced from the spiritual charm emanating from those elixirs that they should be of the first-grade lucky grade.

After sorting out the spiritual medicines, they began to work one after another.

In this round, everyone was giving their all, and all had serious expressions. They were all refining the elixir that they were best at and of the highest level. The benefits of being in the top ten were too tempting.

The second-rank alchemists on the stage were also looking at it carefully, talking and analyzing with each other, nodding from time to time, and smiling with satisfaction from time to time.

Those big forces are no longer as calm and composed as before, and a feeling of anxiety is spreading.

On the contrary, those onlookers who had nothing to do with the incident seemed relaxed.

As time passed, two hours later.

Gradually, some people couldn't hold on any longer.

"Huh? Is it going to fail?"

Lu Luan discovered that a man on the stage began to tremble slightly, with beads of sweat on his cheeks, as if he had reached his limit.

The alchemy cauldron he controlled also made a slight rumbling sound and shook continuously.

"Someone is dying."

"It seems like he wanted to challenge himself and went too far."

This change immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"boom!"

Although the man kept trying to remedy the situation, after half a quarter of an hour, the alchemy cauldron finally went completely out of control. It fell to the ground with a loud bang, and a scent mixed with the aroma of medicine gushed out.

As for the man, his mind went blank and he fainted.

"Oh, what a pity."

"Yes, I forced myself to refine a pill that was beyond my ability. All the spiritual medicine in the furnace was wasted, and I also suffered backlash. It seems that I need to rest for a while before I can recover."

The people watching around sighed with regret. Even though it was a failure, no one laughed at him, nor were they qualified to laugh at him.

"It's really a waste of medicinal materials."

Seeing that the spiritual herbs worth more than ten intermediate spirit stones were destroyed in an instant due to the failure of refining, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder the alchemists piled up the spiritual herbs.

Because everyone was far apart, even though his cauldron exploded, there were restrictions around it and other people were not affected.

However, perhaps because they saw others fail, some people started to become nervous and their minds were not strong enough. The more nervous they were, the easier it was to make mistakes.

In the next hour, three more people exploded.

Before I knew it, time had come to an end.

It was almost the critical period for pill condensation, and those powerful people used their skills to increase the intensity of the pill fire.

"Look, what's going on with the Shen family's alchemist?"

Suddenly, the alchemy cauldron of a beautiful woman on the field began to shake violently, and her face became solemn.

"Isn't she going to fail too?"

Seeing this, many people showed surprise.

“It would be a shame if we fail.”

"Yes, she must have refined a pill that was beyond her ability. With her strength, she can definitely enter the top ten. If she fails now, she won't have much hope of going to Daoxuan Sect."

At the side of the competition stage, those members of the Shen family who were sitting in the most prestigious positions suddenly became nervous.

"The properties of the elixir she refined conflict with those of the spiritual medicine."

A second-grade alchemist saw the problem at a glance.

"With her level, she shouldn't make a mistake of this magnitude." A man next to her stroked his beard, a puzzled look on his brow.

The other black-haired old man seemed to understand something and said in an inexplicable tone: "Sometimes, conflict is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Mr. Lin, do you mean... that this junior did it on purpose?"

"Her minister medicine is too strong, and it conflicts with the monarch medicine. She is committing an insubordination and her achievements are so great that they threaten the ruler. Although it will cause the court to lose its order, it can also maximize the efficacy of the monarch medicine. If successful, she will rule the world. The quality of this pill will be much higher." The alchemist in the City Lord's Mansion said slowly.

"good."

The old man surnamed Lin smiled and nodded.

"But this requires the alchemist to have extremely subtle perception and control over the medicinal aroma of various elixirs. Otherwise, it will be difficult to balance the main and the ministers. Can she do it?" an old man frowned.

The old man surnamed Lin twirled his beard and said with a smile, "I know this junior. She used to ask me questions often. Her mother is the descendant of the Yiqi Sect's golden elixir-level shape-changing spiritual medicine, so she is naturally better than ordinary people in controlling medicinal energy."

"I see."

Several people understood.

"Look, she actually stabilized the alchemy cauldron."

Sure enough, after a series of operations performed by the woman, the alchemy cauldron gradually stabilized.

"Although she has it under control, she is still inferior to Wang Yao, Du Lang and others." Xu Feng said.

These people are not experts in this field and their cultivation is weak, so naturally they cannot see the mystery.

"It seems that her strength has improved a bit."

Several outstanding performers on the stage also glanced at her sideways. They were all from the same circle, knew each other, and had often exchanged ideas with each other.

Of course, they were only slightly surprised and did not feel any pressure. They were all very confident in their own abilities.
