Chapter 2169: Strange Divine Pill
e. Now, they were just a joke in front of everyone because Shen Xiang gave them two slaps on their faces!“What’s this flower Do you know anything about it, Little Sweet Miss It looks very poisonous,”...Chapter 2169: Strange Divine Pill
Three hours had passed. Xiao Ping sat there, clueless. His pill furnace was calm and didn't radiate any heat! However, the pill furnace across from him, Shen Xiang, emitted the highest amount of heat. It was as if it could burst out flames at any moment.
No one knew what he was doing. Even the Pill God Xiang Hong dao didn't know, and he wanted to know if they were in the middle of a competition. Right now, Xiao Ping was getting more and more suspicious of Shen Xiang's actions.
Shen Xiang originally planned on burning each tiny water drop one by one, changing their attributes and turning them into fire-attribute water drops. However, he found it too tedious, so he decided to use his Creation Flame and burn them all at once.
He had been burning for over two hours, and then he used his Dao Heart Eye to check. He found that the colors were almost uniform, but there was still a small portion where they needed more. He continued burning for another half an hour and made sure that all the medicinal liquid water drops were of the same color before he started to look for any differences and burned them individually.
After going back and forth, he only had another half an hour left!
Xiao Ping finally opened his eyes. He completed the process with only sweat on his forehead and looked rather relaxed!
Seeing Shen Xiang frowning as he worked hard, Xiao Ping smiled faintly. Then, he opened his pill furnace and took out seven golden-red shining pill pills!
He actually formed seven spirit-piercing divine pills, making the audience roar with amazement!
Ordinary spirit-piercing divine pills usually only produce two or three pills, but Xiao Ping was able to make seven of them. Moreover, they also had spirit-piercing light! He only spent four and a half hours making them!
Even though Xiao Ping didn't represent any power, his potential to become the Pill Sage made him an undeniable fact. The seven superior spirit-piercing divine pills were the best proof of his ability.
When Xiao Bai Feng saw Xiao Ping's pill, she also frowned. Shen Xiang's previous try only produced six pills while Xiao Ping was able to produce seven. Of course, Shen Xiang's method involved an abnormal change while Xiao Ping's didn't.
"I wonder if this little punk can win. It looks like Prince Ping is truly terrifying, no wonder he's the Pill Sage's high disciple!" Lady Lilifeng didn't want Shen Xiang to lose, but she couldn't help but feel that Shen Xiang was in trouble when seeing Xiao Ping's strength and the discussion of the crowd below.
The alchemists on stage were pretty good as well. Almost all of them produced pills within five hours, and the most pill they could produce was five bottles. However, they couldn't form spirit-piercing light like Xiao Ping, so only Xiao Ping could move on to the next round now.
Shen Xiang was slower than anyone else. His pill furnace was still full of 'sand' inside, and he had just completed transforming the other medicinal liquid water drops. He was surprised when he saw all of the medicinal liquid water drops had the same attributes after his transformation. After all, they already had spirit-blood that was combined by Shen Xiang, even though they were transformed into many medicinal liquid waterdrops. Their spirit-blood was the same, so when their attributes matched, they would naturally combine.
After combining them, Shen Xiang's pill furnace appeared with a pool of medicinal liquid. It flickered in purple gold red colors!
"Although it looks like mud, it's already close to being solid. I can divide this into ten parts and combine them, making ten pills! Also, it'll be very easy to condense!" Shen Xiang carefully observed the pool of medicinal liquid. If it were before, this would have been a pool of water, but now it was like a mud pile. If it solidified, it would be crystals, and the quality would definitely be higher.
Shen Xiang believed he could condense it into crystals if he went through another process, but he didn't know what quality of divine pill would come out. However, since he couldn't afford the time now, he would definitely try it if he had more time.
Shen Xiang took the usual route, but instead of dividing it into ten parts and producing ten pills, he decided to divide it into five parts. He produced only five pills!
The quality of this medicinal liquid was very high right now, and if he divided it into five parts, he would compress them even more. He believed that the quality would be similar to crystals at last as well, which would definitely have a higher quality than the total sum of the ten parts. This competition was based on the total sum, not the number of pills!
Shen Xiang immersed himself in the mysterious realm when he didn't notice that everyone was waiting for him. If Xiao Ping could have taken the quality test earlier, he had to wait for Shen Xiang because he wanted him to see his divine pills being tested by the spirit.
The others had already taken quality testing, with the highest score being 490. Though they were still short of reaching a quality of six hundred, several people scored above four hundred five. This was already considered good for many alchemists because not everyone had Xiao Ping's powerful master, superior talent, and wealth of resources that he already had the potential to become Pill Sage in the future.
When Shen Xiang was producing pills, he divided them into particles of air before they became spirit-essence gas. When they were superior divine pills, the liquid state was produced instead. However, this medicinal liquid had a higher quality than liquid and was between solid and liquid. He divided the gold-red "cement" that flickered into five small portions, then started compressing.
Compressing wasn't easy either, and he had to use his strongest strength in order to finish it within the time limit.
When he was fully concentrated on condensing pills, his pill furnace shook vigorously with a "clang clang" sound. Shen Xiang was shocked because he didn't expect such loud noises when compressing the mud-like substance. The mud soon hardened like iron and hit the pill furnace uncontrollably, colliding with each other.
Fortunately for him, the pills didn't lose any spirit energy when they collided. It showed that these pills were extremely firm!
He was proud of himself for being able to make divine pills like this, rigid like a piece of iron.
"Can't he be playing with pearls in his pill furnace" Someone exclaimed. "Could this guy actually play with pearls inside the pill furnace"
Shen Xiang's shaking pill furnace indeed made such a noise. It was like the sound when there were several pearls in a box, and someone shook it vigorously.
Xiao Ping was amazed by Shen Xiang's pill furnace, not knowing what he was doing that caused such sounds.
There were still a little more than five hours left, and Shen Xiang's shaking pill furnace finally calmed down. He was drenched in sweat as he opened his eyes and sighed, "Finally done!"
"What are you doing I thought there were stones in your pill furnace." Xiao Ping smiled, "Well, anyway, you managed to finish it. Let me see your divine pills."
Shen Xiang laughed sarcastically, "There was a little problem. I'm not sure if it worked or not!" His words made the crowd panic, he didn't know if they were successful!
Shen Xiang opened his pill furnace, and there wasn't any spirit light bursting out! When Xiao Ping took off the lid of his pill furnace, it was very impressive with that cloud of spirit light soaring up.
There were no divine pills floating inside either. Shen Xiang held the pill furnace and poured them out!
The spirit pills that fell from his pill furnace left the crowd speechless. There were five small stones! These small stones were only about the size of their thumb and were irregularly shaped. They weren't round at all.
Small stones were rather special as they had smooth surfaces, like broken crystals. They were overall purple red and golden in shine.
Xiao Ping raised his eyebrows, "What's this A spirit-piercing divine pill"
Shen Xiang frowned, nodded, and said, "Sort of. Although they're not round, they are made from those divine medicines after all and should work!"
Everyone was impressed by Shen Xiang's ability to make divine pills into small stones, considering it as a very strange skill. They didn't think these were spirit-piercing divine pills because they couldn’t find any desire to eat them. Moreover, the quality must be low since a spirit-piercing divine pill should have been round.
"I will start testing quality now! I'll go first!" Xiao Ping was also surprised because he couldn't sense any spirit energy or divine pill fragrance from the small stones. They weren't like spirit-piercing divine pills at all.ing Slayer God Sword intent, it was very frightening.The monster immediately responded, wrapping his dozens of arms like old vines around himself in an instant!After seeing this, Shen Xiang immediatel...
