Chapter 516: Lin Chen: So I'm Not the Only

Boom!

Boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Following the middle-aged man releasing his innate fire, innate fire appeared under several more alchemy furnaces on the square.

Of the one hundred contestants, 80% had innate fire.

This scene shocked many martial artists who were watching the Alchemy Competition for the first time.

Lin Chen, who was on the field, was also a bit surprised. Although Li Qin had told him, having 80% possess innate fire was something he had not expected.

"No, the innate fire of some alchemists is a bit strange."

Under Lin Chen's spiritual sense perception, he discovered that the innate fire released by some alchemists appeared a bit dull and did not have the unique spirituality of innate fire.

"These alchemists have not truly refined innate fire, but only subdued it."

A few breaths later, Lin Chen had the answer.

After all, refining innate fire carries risks, while subduing it is much simpler.

After observing everyone around him, Lin Chen also began to immerse his mind in refining pills.

And just as Lin Chen began to pick medicinal materials, Jiang Yaoyan in the front row raised his hand at this moment. Soon a referee walked over. After hearing Jiang Yaoyan's words, the referee had a look of surprise on his face, but finally nodded.

"What is he doing?"

Everyone started to act, only Jiang Yaoyan stood still. This scene made many onlookers at the scene confused.

Following the production of the top one hundred list yesterday, various major forces also investigated the origins of these one hundred alchemists, and some gambling houses even opened betting odds. Among them, the most popular was the Medicine King Valley's Young Valley Master, Jiang Yaoyan.

A hundred breaths later, everyone knew what Jiang Yaoyan was going to do.

Qianji Sect disciples carried two alchemy furnaces into the venue and placed them in front of Jiang Yaoyan.

Seeing that there were three alchemy furnaces in front of Jiang Yaoyan, an uproar broke out at the scene, and the contestants who were originally focused on refining pills were also disturbed by this sound, their gazes looking towards the direction where Jiang Yaoyan was.

"Three alchemy furnaces, it won't be what I think, right."

"Refining three furnaces of pills at the same time, and they are four-star pills, this... could it be that Jiang Yaoyan's alchemy level has reached the grandmaster level?"

"It shouldn't be. Grandmaster level not only has requirements for alchemy attainments, but also has requirements for soul. Jiang Yaoyan's realm is only at the innate three realms, and his soul is afraid it hasn't reached the requirements of the grandmaster level."

Regardless of how the outside world discussed, Jiang Yaoyan was indeed manipulating the medicinal materials to fall into the three alchemy furnaces at this moment. The flames rose slowly, and the three alchemy furnaces began to refine pills at the same time.

Jiang Chen to the side swept a glance at Jiang Yaoyan, his eyes shrinking. At the same time, Jiang Yaoyan's line of sight happened to look over, the corners of his mouth raised with enough confidence.

This was a provocation to himself!

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze. When he chose to participate in this Alchemy Competition, his master had already told him that Jiang Yaoyan's alchemy attainments were definitely not below his own. What he had to do was to steadily enter the third round, and not contend with Jiang Yaoyan in the first two rounds.

Seeing Jiang Chen withdraw his line of sight and start refining pills on his own, Jiang Yaoyan had a mocking look on the corner of his mouth. He was really a cowardly person. Facing his own provocation, he was indifferent. Just like this, he still wanted to contend with him for first place?

"This person... is really arrogant."

Lin Chen looked at the three alchemy furnaces in front of Jiang Yaoyan and sighed in his heart. If it were him, he should also be able to do it, but there was no need for this.

His principle of dealing with things was: one can show off if there are benefits, but there is no need if there are no benefits.

After Jiang Yaoyan's three furnaces refining at the same time caused a brief uproar, the viewing stand also began to become quiet.

Alchemy itself was an extremely boring and tedious thing, especially for onlookers who were not alchemists. There was not much to appreciate in this process.

The insider looks at the doorway, the outsider looks at the excitement.

At the moment, obviously there was no excitement to watch.

But fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared, so they wouldn't be unable to wait for a few hours. Most of those who could enter the Tiangong Pavilion to watch the battle were innate martial artists, and the few young people below the innate level were also following their family or sect elders, so their concentration was not bad.

An hour and a half later, pill fragrance began to drift on the square.

Two hours later, the alchemy furnace in front of Jiang Chen opened its lid, and the first furnace of pills was refined successfully.

Twelve purple pills rose slowly from the furnace and finally landed on the tray to the side.

After refining the first furnace of pills, Jiang Chen's gaze looked at Jiang Yaoyan. At this moment, Jiang Yaoyan's expression was solemn, his hand seals changed constantly, and accompanied by his hand seals changing, the fire of the flames under the three alchemy furnaces was also changing constantly.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen relaxed slightly. Jiang Yaoyan's actions at this moment indicated that the pills had not yet formed, and it was only halfway through. He was not lagging too far behind.

Ordinary alchemists only use spiritual sense to feel the condition of the pills when refining them, and decide whether the heat should be stronger or lower according to the state of the pills. But when they reach their level, spiritual sense is not only used to observe the state of the pills, but can also integrate spiritual sense into the medicinal liquid to accelerate the speed of the medicinal liquid forming. This is why their pill refining speed is faster than others.

It is not only the precise control of the heat, but also because of using spiritual sense to make the pill liquid condense into pills faster.

But this has extremely high requirements for spiritual sense, and Jiang Yaoyan refining three furnaces of pills at the same time, and they are three different types of pills, requires spiritual sense to be divided into three, which has extremely high requirements for his own soul, and also has extremely high requirements for the control of spiritual sense.

Soul strength is the most basic requirement, but soul strength is enough, which does not mean it can be done. It also requires cultivation techniques to control soul and spiritual sense. On this point, he and Jiang Yaoyan are on the same starting line.

The Qianji Sect has such top-tier cultivation techniques, and the Medicine King Valley also has them.

"Quite fast!"

Lin Chen saw Jiang Chen finish refining the first furnace of pills, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had only completed two-thirds. It seemed that he had to speed up. Don't hide his clumsiness so much that he didn't even enter the top ten. That would be a big loss.

Half an hour after Jiang Chen finished refining the first furnace of pills, the second contestant also finished refining the first furnace of pills. Soon... the third, fourth, fifth... also appeared.

From the second to the tenth, the difference was within half an hour.

"Looking at it this way, this Jiang Yaoyan and Jiang Chen should be in a unique tier, while others are in the second tier, which means that in this Alchemy Competition, first and second place will be born between Jiang Yaoyan and Jiang Chen. It depends on who is first and who is second. On the contrary, the third place has higher suspense."

The onlookers, seeing the situation of the first furnace of pills finished on the field, also gave their own judgments.

"Xiao... Master Xiao is actually the tenth to finish."

On the Li family side, Li Qin saw Lin Chen finish refining the first furnace of pills in tenth place, her beautiful eyes had a look of surprise. Silver Moon to the side was not surprised at all. She knew more clearly that this was Lin Chen controlling his speed, otherwise he could be faster.

"Perhaps... the top ten is really promising."

Fourth Elder Li Hong's old eyes also had a flash of light at this moment. This Xiao Yan could enter the top ten in the first furnace of pills. As long as he maintained this speed for the next two furnaces of pills, he really had a chance to rush into the top ten.

Two hours later!

Jiang Chen's second furnace of pills was also finished refining. He still looked at Jiang Yaoyan and continued to start refining the third furnace.

And this time, others were a full hour behind before they finished refining the second furnace.

The gap began to widen.

And just the next moment after the second contestant who refined two furnaces appeared, Jiang Yaoyan in the front row finally stopped his hand seals, and a smile appeared on his face.

The next moment...

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The lids of the three alchemy furnaces in front of him rose into the air at the same time. Everyone on the viewing stand had their line of sight fall on Jiang Yaoyan at this moment.

Three alchemy furnaces opened at the same time, either success or failure.

Many powerhouses wanted to know the result at the first time, and their spiritual sense went towards the alchemy furnace in front of Jiang Yaoyan, but their spiritual sense reached the sky above the square and was blocked by an invisible energy.

Above the square, there was a formation to isolate spiritual sense from entering.

The Qianji Sect arranged it this way because they were afraid that someone would use spiritual sense to destroy the pills in the contestants' alchemy furnaces.

The formation on the square could even isolate the spiritual sense of powerhouses in the innate six realms. Unless a powerhouse of the Wanxiang Realm took action, but this was the Qianji Sect, and there was a powerhouse of the Wanxiang Realm sitting in town. Any powerhouse of the Wanxiang Realm coming would not be able to hide from the Qianji Sect's powerhouse of the Wanxiang Realm.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

I don't know if it was intentional or for some reason, the pills in the three alchemy furnaces in front of Jiang Yaoyan rose very slowly. A full twenty breaths passed before the pills were revealed.

"One, two... thirty-six... there are actually forty pills. This Jiang Yaoyan not only succeeded in refining three furnaces of pills at the same time, but the quantity of pills is also higher than others."

Hiss!

When they saw the quantity of pills clearly, a sky-shaking exclamation broke out at the scene.

The medicinal materials provided by the Qianji Sect were normally twelve pills per furnace, and Jiang Yaoyan refined four more, which meant that these medicinal materials had no loss in Jiang Yaoyan's hands.

Most alchemists could not avoid the loss of medicinal power of medicinal materials. Powerful alchemists would control the loss of medicinal power to the minimum. Generally, low-level pills didn't count for anything, but for high-level pills, refining one more pill meant the value of several thousand Yan coins or even higher.

Of course, the higher the level of the pill, the greater the difficulty to ensure that the medicinal power does not lose.

"Cannot underestimate the people of the world."

At this moment, Lin Chen, who had finished refining the second furnace of pills, looked at Jiang Yaoyan's straight back and also sighed in his heart. Even if his soul far exceeded the other party, it would not be so simple to win first place in this third round.

On the viewing stand, at this moment, most people's attention was still on Jiang Yaoyan. Three furnaces of pills at once, and the quantity of pills was also leading. This Alchemy Competition would definitely become the most influential one in recent decades and be talked about with relish.

However, there were still some people who paid attention to other alchemists. Most of these people were relatives and friends of the alchemists on the field, or those who had interests related.

"Xiao Yan's second furnace of pills is also finished, ranking seventh, even faster than the last furnace."

The Li family was very excited at this moment. That Jiang Yaoyan's performance was indeed astonishing, but that had nothing to do with their Li family. On the contrary, Xiao Yan's performance was so eye-catching, which was something they had not expected.
