Peerless Sovereign

The gazes of both parties merely collided for a moment before they shifted away.

Qiu Xi retracted his gaze, and said indifferently: "I wonder who will be the third participant other than the two of you? I don't seem to find him here. "

"Just because we can't find his shadow doesn't mean that he doesn't exist."

Jia Wei slightly nodded, and slowly indicated towards Su Lie's direction.

Qiu Xi, Zhang Si Fan and the rest also looked over.

When he waited until Qiu Xi saw Su Lie, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed involuntarily.

Although the rank of an alchemist was not something that could be seen with the naked eye, with his experience, he could feel that Su Lie's rank was not high.

"May I know what is your apothecary rank?"

With a light smile, Qiu Xi asked softly.

Su Lie's expression was indifferent as he coldly replied, "Middle Grade One."

"Middle Grade One …"

Qiu Xi revealed a look of enlightenment, then suddenly thought of something, and disappeared: "You are the famous Su Lie, right? "I wonder what your achievements will be in the field of arcane skills, given your strength."

Chuckling softly, Su Lie did not say anything more.

Jia Wei lightly made a gesture to invite him in, "It's almost noon, there's no need to speak any more nonsense … "Waiting for noon, then everything will come to an end."

Regarding Jia Wei's words, Qiu Xi did not say much, and only nodded lightly.

Each of them found a place to close their eyes and rest.

As he slowly walked into the arena, all of the cauldrons in the arena were exactly the same.

Su Lie currently didn't have a cauldron of his own. He could only rely on the public goods within the auction.

The two at the mouth of the cauldron was a typical Tier 1 Cauldron.

With the high-grade Hundred Beast Flower ornament and the pillar beneath it, even if Zhang Xuan were to use this cauldron to forge a grade-2 pill, the difficulty would probably not be too great.

"There is no limit to the time one can refine it. It only depends on the final quality. "Everyone only has one chance …"

One of the auctioneers walked up and announced the rules that Jia Wei and Qiu Xi had discussed before, "Prepare the ingredients yourself. And the final result will be the result of the dispute between the two major merchant guilds. "

"Only one chance?"

Hearing this, Su Lie's expression changed slightly.

Even when he refined a grade-1 middle tier pill, he could only barely achieve a success rate of over half!

If he were to forge a grade-1 pinnacle pill, the success rate wouldn't even reach 20%, right?

He could only smile wryly at this chance to see his face.

However, since Jia Wei had already set a rule for major matters, he naturally didn't have the right to say anything.

Slowly closing his eyes and releasing his spiritual sense, he touched the cauldron.

In pill refining, all five senses were the most important.

However, vision was secondary.

Feeling the slightly hot temperature above his head, a clear voice suddenly announced when noon arrived, "It has begun."

Su Lie's heart trembled and he opened his eyes.

His gaze swept across the other five and finally landed on the black-robed man that Qiu Xi had brought along.

The black-cloaked person had yet to reveal his face, but at this moment, he did not move as he stared blankly at the cauldron.

"Could it be that he, too, is just a trash that Qiu Xi casually pulled over to fill in the numbers?"

With Qiu Xi's personality, it was indeed possible for him to be so mysterious.

But if that was really the case, Jia Wei and Yue Yang should have reacted long ago.

He looked at Jia Wei and Yue Yang, both of them were in a meditative state, and Yue Yang had even started to refine a medicinal herb.

Su Lie could only put down the doubts he had in his heart and turned to look at the cauldron.

"Soul Nurturing Wood x1, Spirit Profound Grass x3, Condensing Ice Dew …"

Looking at the complicated materials in front of him, he felt a headache.

In the end, he could only choose the most basic Spirit Profound Grass to refine.

Inside the cauldron, a raging fire burned. The fingers of his right hand moved rhythmically as he controlled the size of the elemental energy flame.

Only after he adjusted his body to the appropriate degree did Su Lie put a stalk of Spirit Profound Grass in.

Putting his consciousness into it, he could feel the degree of burning of the Spirit Profound Grass.

The formation around him started to light up, continuously channeling the Heaven and Earth Qi into the Pill Cauldron.

The energy of heaven and earth, the power of man, and the effects of Pill Cauldron could all be combined to make the tempering of a single raw material truly successful.

Su Lie watched the changes within the Pill Cauldron with a slight smile.

He silently counted in his heart, after six breaths of time, he had a look at the current situation of the Spirit Profound Grass, and fished it out, causing the flames to extinguish.

He took out a jade bottle and carefully placed the Spirit Profound Grass into it.

After doing all of this, he shrugged his shoulders and inadvertently glanced at the others … For some experienced pill refiners, it was completely possible to refine two items at the same time.

During the time that Su Lie was refining a piece of Spirit Profound Grass, Jia Wei had already refined three different medicines.

Three pure white jade bottles were placed neatly beside the Pill Cauldron.

Although there was no time limit, Su Lie did not have any intention of slacking off.

If the refinement was too slow, the final feeling of being watched by everyone would definitely be extremely unpleasant … Without hesitation, he slightly adjusted his mental state and threw the second Spirit Profound Grass in. The Pill Cauldron's flame once again rose, and continued to grill it.

In the quiet backyard, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Although there were some people from both sides, they were not idiots and did not say a word.

Therefore, the courtyard was so quiet that it was terrifying.

"Haha …"

The tranquil atmosphere continued for an unknown period of time.

After Jia Wei finished refining, he suddenly closed his eyes.

After quietly comprehending for a while, he took the initiative to raise his hands and break the silence.

At this point, less than an hour had passed!

Jia Wei's actions had not been long in the beginning, but the opposing Zhang Si Fan had also started to refine pills, unwilling to be outdone.

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid that I will be able to refine the highest grade of pills this time around."

Sensing their concentration, he looked at his alchemy manual.

Su Lie shook his head helplessly. His gaze was filled with helplessness.

After carefully refining the last medicinal ingredient, Su Lie once again swept his eyes over the alchemy manual.

He had already recited the contents of the letter countless times to confirm that the procedure was correct.

He slowly clenched his fists, and a strange feeling began to spread from his body.

"Since everything has been prepared, let's start refining pills …"

Closing his eyes, he slowly placed his hands on top of the Pill Cauldron and touched its pattern.

Only after he had caught two flame vents did a tiny bit of elemental energy flame spread out from them.

"Hu!"

In a short moment, the elemental energy flame s at the tip of his fingers had turned into a huge fire within the Pill Cauldron!

After softly muttering a few words, Su Lie turned around and picked up two jade bottles and poured them down without hesitation.

He absolutely could not make even the slightest mistake while he was refining the dan beads!

If he made a mistake, the result would be the destruction of the pill.

Su Lie was completely focused. As his mind sank in, he had already completely forgotten about the changes in the outside world.

As he poured the medicinal ingredients in one by one, the flames on the Pill Cauldron also began to gradually change.

It was no longer the same as when he was refining the medicinal herbs. Instead, it had broken down into a few areas.

Sometimes strong, sometimes weak. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

In the end, the flames of varying sizes started to fuse and converge together.

The process of fusing the pills was extremely long, even though there were some special methods to speed up the process.

It was just that those methods were not suitable for Su Lie to use right now.

At this moment, the youth's eyes were filled with a serious expression.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. A wisp of sweat appeared on his face because of the light of the fire.

He leaned back a little to keep the sweat from dripping.

Even though he was only a grade-1 intermediate alchemist, he had this kind of expression on his face.

It made people feel like he was very experienced.

The bottom of Su Lie's heart was not filled with much fluctuation.

"Although this is the first time I have attempted a peak tier 1 pill, I am afraid that I might be able to succeed in this condition …" "Ugh …"

Su Lie did not use any method to increase his speed. Instead, he continued refining!

Time passed slowly. It was unknown how much time had passed.

Qiu Xi, who was not far from him, suddenly retracted his hand.

"Phew …"

The Pill Cauldron slowly opened it up, and the flames inside were extinguished.

On the surface of the pill was a pale green medicinal pill. It radiated an ethereal will, and was clearly of an extraordinary rank.

Qiu Xi was the first to succeed!

After putting the pill into the jade bottle, he stood in front of his own Pill Cauldron and chuckled as he looked at the five people behind him.

When his gaze fell on Su Lie, it was obviously filled with disdain.

The medicinal pellet he refined, was of the level of Peak of Second Grade!

In his eyes, Su Lie's peak grade one medicinal pill was like trash that could be refined into tens of pills in a single day.

The corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. It seemed that victory was within his grasp.

"Swish!"

Qiu Xi's completion, seemed to have opened a new beginning.

In the next short half an hour, the rest of the people had also completed their pill refinement!

Jia Wei was the second to complete the task. He placed the medicinal pellet into the jade bottle.

He indifferently looked at Su Lie. His eyes were filled with a dull expression, but he did not say anything.

With the passage of time, only Su Lie was left unsuccessfully refining the pill!

To be so focused on a grade-1 pinnacle pill despite the fact that his talent in age was already so fearsome.

But for Qiu Xi and the others, the outcome of the competition was the most important.

"The first section of the Soul Nurturing Wood, the most crucial part …"

Su Lie slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

A moment later, he suddenly laughed softly as he looked at the Pill Cauldron in front of him.

Soul Nurturing Wood!

Legend has it that only a giant tree that has been growing for more than a thousand years would have such an essence, and it must also grow within the world spirit realm.

There was one branch that went straight up into the sky. It was the essence of the entire tree, and that was the Soul Nurturing Wood.

Of course!

The Soul Nurturing Wood in Su Lie's hands was only a small piece.

He did not go through tempering before, but directly threw it into the Pill Cauldron and began to refine it!
