several witnesses came forward to inspect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming there were no issues and the grades were exactly the same, Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin officially stepped into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning and the other four were arranged in a corner of the high platform to watch from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Lu Jiakang frowning slightly as he held a Jade Scroll on the Alchemy Platform, everyone had a rough idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Lu Jiakang had learned some Alchemy Technique before this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ge Liuyang said, Pill and Artifact Technique have quite a bit in common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were ordinary Intermediate Lower Grade Elixirs, it might have been manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intermediate Middle Grade Elixirs, however, were clearly beyond Lu Jiakang’s alchemy technique capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, looking at the short Gu Guanlin, it was evident he had put in significant effort into alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully examined the Jade Scroll while starting to study the Spirit Medicine beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent progress largely matched the crowd’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, as the white-haired Elder Peng announced the official start of alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began refining their elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, anyone with a slight understanding of alchemy could see the difference between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jiakang’s techniques were standard and unremarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Guanlin, on the other hand, employed a rather mysterious Fire Control Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, the aroma of elixirs could be distinctly smelled from Gu Guanlin’s Pill Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, there was no movement from Lu Jiakang’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Jiakang was visibly more anxious and cast several spells onto the Alchemy Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately followed by the sound of the furnace exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This announced Lu Jiakang’s failure in alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, many Jiuhua Sect disciples couldn’t help but let out sighs of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they knew Lu Jiakang wasn’t skilled in alchemy, they still held a sliver of hope, now dashed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Gu Guanlin could successfully refine the elixirs, it would mean the first victory belonged to the Daluo Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, everything went smoothly with Gu Guanlin’s alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he opened the furnace to retrieve the pills and sent a Small Jade Bottle containing the elixirs flying towards the white-haired Elder Peng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Peng took the elixirs and looked at them, then showed them to the other four witnesses, finally nodding and saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daluo Sect’s Gu Guanlin refined four pills, Jiuhua Sect’s Lu Jiakang failed to form any pills, this round, Daluo Sect wins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn’t help but glance at Gu Guanlin on the high platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s quite impressive that upon first engaging in Middle Tier Middle Grade Elixir cultivation, he could produce four pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion, perhaps only a few could compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Elder Peng started arranging the next round of the artifact refining competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the middle-aged scholar beside the white-haired Elder Peng stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually took out two Blank Jade Scrolls and copied the content of the Jade Scroll containing the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he showed the Jade Scrolls to the four witnesses, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he wave his hand, simultaneously tossing the two Jade Scrolls towards Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Elder Peng smiled at Yu Changge and others, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Nine Luo Refining Essence Method will be used by the other four later, so we won’t let you examine it yet, Fellow Daoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the competition between the two nephews on stage finishes, we’ll separate them with a Sound Insulation Shield to prevent them from interacting with the other four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We five have just confirmed that the Refining Essence Method in both Jade Scrolls is identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Artifact Refining Materials, you can examine them later, Fellow Daoists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Elder Peng finished, Yu Changge and Ao Langtian nodded, indicating their understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone silently waited for Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to examine the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour, Elder Peng announced that time was up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a short period, it would be unlikely for either of them to master the Refining Essence Method deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Elder Peng spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two nephews, in this competition, you can only use the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Chen has deep expertise in artifact refining. If you aren’t using the method provided here, it will be evident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged scholar nodded, then waved his hand again, tossing two pieces of black metal material towards the two in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he keenly watched the two participants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiuhua Sect members did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Chief Steward of the Jiuhua Sect’s Artifact Refining Pavilion, Lu Jiakang had everyone’s high hopes for this competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after each glanced at the materials in their hands, they started refining and purifying them in the newly set Artifact Refining Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Ning glanced at both participants and then focused on Lu Jiakang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had little exposure to artifact refining, but having an Artifact Venerable Spirit Body, his sensitivity to the Artifact Refining Technique exceeded that of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he sensed that Lu Jiakang seemed to have a slight edge over Gu Guanlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he began to watch closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he too would soon compete with Ao Xuan in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>",925,"2026-06-02T10:18:59.779Z",1,"novelbin.me","c7fd28c8b5bec83e7b3f62db288fd1317c2a8ced4fa233ec39ad9d2ef982239c","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-473","eternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-chapter-471",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-my-talents-can-refresh-cover.jpg"]
