The divine medicine in the large vat was abundant and of good quality, allowing those alchemists in the arena to judge their quality by the scent they emitted.

All disciples took a stand, carefully observing the divine medicine inside the large vat. Many frowned because they didn't recognize these medicines.

Shen Xiang also didn't know them. The medicinal knowledge Feng Yujie passed to him did not include these medicines.

"These divine medicines were brought by those fellows from the Divine Country, and they're going to provide you the formulas later for you to make the divine medicines according to them," Luo Tianjun transmitted his voice.

Shen Xiang secretly scanned the crowd and found several calm people among them. Three were young men, while two were elders. They saw these unfamiliar divine medicines with composure. Shen Xiang suspected that there was also someone who told them the rules behind.

"There are two jade plates inside these large vats, containing formulas. The first trial is to make the low-grade divine medicines according to the formulas within them, and the sand timer ends when you finish this trial," Iron Chicken pointed at a small sand timer in the distant. It looked like it could only last for two hours.

Only two hours were given to make the two batches of low-grade divine medicines, and they had never been made before. Indeed, it was very challenging.

What caught Shen Xiang's attention was that there were only two formulas, but the number of divine medicines in the large vat seemed too much. There were at least over a hundred low-grade divine medicines, plus there were more than ten large black tree roots underneath.

Shen Xiang suspected that they would have to use all the divine medicines in the large vat making only these two types of low-grade divine medicines. If that were true, then they would need dozens of different low-grade divine medicines for one low-grade divine medicine. So what kind of divine medicine was it

"You can start looking for formulas now," Iron Chicken said, and the sand timer started flipping. The disciples cursed internally as they began their work, making them feel like they were being buried alive.

Shen Xiang had already used his divine consciousness to take notice of the large vat earlier and quickly took out two jade plates. By dripping his blood, he checked his current guess: the formulas required dozens of divine medicines for each!

The jade plates contained only the formulas, not mentioning their names!

"What's the use of these divine medicines I can't see anything in these ingredients, and this Divine Country is indeed mysterious," Shen Xiang planned to make the medicine requiring more divine medicines first. He needed seventy pieces of divine medicines!

Divine medicines inside the large vat were hard to pick up, and it was very time-consuming. This required great speed in identifying divine medicines for alchemists, as many disciples cursed internally because of the time they spent picking them up.

Shen Xiang didn't feel too bad about it because this was considered a kind of challenge for him!

The competition was not against others but time from the beginning. This test was demanding for all aspects of alchemists, causing those without patience to become anxious because they felt like losing their time. This also affected the speed of picking up divine medicines, making them slower.

Those who lacked confidence would have the idea of giving up, thinking they were sure to fail and were doomed from the beginning.

Of course, there were many excellent alchemists at the competition who could remain calm and calmly picked up the divine medicines.

Shen Xiang had heard many sighs and complaints. That was because there were other random divine medicines in the large vat, not meant for making those two types of divine medicines. They were intentionally mixed in to make the competition more challenging.

"The divine medicines that were mixed are somewhat similar to those used for the competition, and you need to be careful so as not to make a mistake. Is this testing your ability in identifying herbs" Shen Xiang felt exhausted as well, fearing a mistake may cause his batch of medicines to be hard to make.

Half an hour passed and finally, someone started lighting up the fire for making medicines. Many focused their gaze on him; it was an elderly man dressed in luxurious clothing, the Alchemist God of the Six Gates Temple.

The alchemist god had a large medicine pot, and he was sorting the divine medicines that were poured out from the large vat while making medicines. He had to pick up more divine medicines for the second type of low-grade divine medicine needed by the competition.

This could save him much time, and others planned to do so too. However, it was not easy because they would have to pay attention to sorting divine medicines while making the medicine. This easily caused a failure.

Shen Xiang didn't do so because this kind of divine medicine was very unfamiliar to him. He needed more carefulness, but anyway, he only needed to make two types of divine medicines successfully.

"The old man is Xiao Changle's new disciple. Although he is quite old, his strength isn't bad and has great talent! His alchemy talents are actually brought out by Xiao Changle!" Luo Tianjun transmitted his voice: "According to me, there are at least five people who have made those two types of divine medicines before because the people sent by Divine Country contacted these five alchemist gods, and there was an old man from Six Gates Temple among them."

Shen Xiang understood why the old man from Six Gates Temple was so fast and was familiar with making them because he had made them before while sorting divine medicines at the same time! Only those who could do so would have enough time to make them.

Shen Xiang changed his strategy, sorting two medicines first before beginning making them!

Several disciples had already started lighting up the fire to make medicines, and now there were over twenty people doing it. Shen Xiang hadn't started yet, but half an hour had passed!

Shen Xiang sorted out divine medicines first and then checked them carefully. If the divine medicine was wrong, it would be considered a failure. Therefore, Shen Xiang took his time doing this very seriously.

"This medicine pot should be enough!" Shen Xiang took out a somewhat large medicine pot, which was very ordinary. He let Feng Yujie prepare it for him.

Shen Xiang didn't refuse good medicine pots, but he couldn't find any suitable ones yet. Therefore, he brought many ordinary medicine pots with him, and they were enough for him.

"I still have half an hour, which should be enough!" Shen Xiang looked at the sand timer and then put a batch of herbs needed for making the low-grade divine medicine inside. There were seventy pieces.

Shen Xiang was very famous in the rank of lower alchemist, especially his magic and peculiar alchemy technique which didn't follow common sense. And indeed, he was different now!

According to the formula, seventy kinds of divine medicines should have a sequence, but he just threw them all in at once!

And surprisingly wasn't over, as he continued to throw another sixty pieces of herbs inside. The sixty pieces were the divine medicines needed for making the second low-grade divine medicine!

It wasn't surprising that a high-level alchemist could make the same batch of divine medicines using one medicine pot, but it was uncommon for someone inexperienced like Shen Xiang to make two different low-grade divine medicines using one medicine pot, especially when he was trying for the first time.how powerful are you!"Xio lost his temper completely. He stomped hard, causing the earth to shake. Everyone was startled and quickly moved back. They could tell that a fierce fight would break out.She...
