Chapter 702: Each Uses Their Own Methods

At this moment, the many onlookers outside the arena all silently chose to hold their tongues and remain still.

They lifted their heads, gazing toward the same direction.

Watching the three slender figures standing beside the alchemical furnace.

Their hearts were filled with intense curiosity, silently guessing who would defeat the other two prodigies and claim first place in this Alchemy Competition.

After dozens of breaths.

Upon the stone platform in the arena.

The judges glanced at the three of them...

Then began announcing the details of the third round: "The third round requires refining a Grade Earth Mid-tier elixir—the Seven White Elixir. Within the time of three incense sticks, each pill refined in a single furnace counts as one point."

"Inferior quality earns one point, medium quality two points, superior quality three points, perfect quality four points; the final ranking is determined by the total accumulated score..."

The moment he finished speaking.

Disciples of the Xuan Dan Sect brought over the herbs needed to refine the Seven White Elixir and placed them beside the three contestants.

Jiang Yan lowered his head, his eyes deep in thought.

The Seven White Elixir is a Grade Earth Low-tier healing elixir.

It is named so because its entire body glows orange-yellow, yet bears seven circular spots, white as jade.

Its refinement difficulty is low; any senior alchemist can easily produce one pill.

But to win this competition, just one pill is certainly not enough.

One must use the limited herbs to produce more pills, and of better quality!

To achieve this, one must not waste excessive herbs during refinement; only by employing exquisitely precise fire-control techniques and maximizing every trace of medicinal essence can one possibly produce multiple pills in a single furnace!

Thus, the refinement difficulty becomes extremely high!

"Yet, before me now, it is effortless..."

Jiang Yan shook his head.

Even without invoking the Heaven-tier or Saint-tier strange fires.

Merely relying on the Xuan-tier Supreme strange fire given to him by Chen Ge, plus the fire-control techniques taught by his master.

He was confident he could perfectly utilize these herbs and push the refinement results far beyond human imagination!

Jiang Yan lifted his head and silently glanced at the recording stone in the young girl's hand nearby.

"Chen Ge, watch closely—how I will use this strange fire you gave me to claim first place in this competition..."

As the thought passed, he swiftly withdrew his gaze and focused all his attention on the herbs before him.

On the other side.

Tang Jingming and Zhou Yan stared at the herbs, their eyes also brimming with deep confidence.

Both possessed the inheritance of Alchemy Master lineages; the precision of their fire-control techniques far surpassed ordinary imagination!

And these techniques were their greatest confidence in claiming first place.

The two exchanged a glance.

Their eyes met.

Needle against wheat awn.

As the judges announced the start of the third round.

Zhou Yan let out a cold snort, without the slightest hesitation, immediately unleashing his mastered superior alchemy technique!

Simultaneously, a deep green flame emerged from his body, shooting forth and landing upon the alchemical furnace before him!

This was the precious strange fire his father had gathered for him!!

Its rank reached "Grade Earth Mid-tier," a treasured flame coveted by countless alchemists!

Its rarity was such that even many alchemy masters did not possess it.

Yet he, thanks to his father's status as an Alchemy Master, had acquired this treasure flame even while still at the Senior Alchemist stage!

As Zhou Yan unveiled his Grade Earth strange fire, a wave of envy rose from the surrounding crowd.

Many alchemists stared hungrily at the scene.

Watching the rising Grade Earth strange fire, their hearts burned with longing, wishing to rush forward and seize it for themselves!

But glancing around at the powerful figures stationed by the Xuan Dan Sect,

They quickly quashed that foolish thought.

Though the Grade Earth strange fire was precious, it was not worth risking their lives for.

Only a Heaven-tier strange fire would be worth such a risk...

The crowd shook their heads, silently sighing: This little Alchemy King really has a great father—such a precious Grade Earth strange fire, given away so casually...

The surrounding alchemists all felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts.
