Chapter 317: Pushing the Limits

Scypher placed his hundred beast pills and essence soul pills together in a box, which was specially prepared by Dan Fragrance Paradise to prevent cheating.

After completing the essence soul pills, Scypher closed his eyes to recover from the expended strength and spirit. He was about to start refining the true yuan pills of the five elements, which he had yet to refine before.

During the auction, he bought two multicolored spirit fruits. Then, Elders Dan bestowed upon him another set of items: multicolored lotus seeds and five-colored ginseng and leaves.

There were only two sets of ingredients, but he could only refine one set because he needed to save the other for cultivation.

Many people began guessing what kind of pills Scypher would be refining next, suspecting that it might be foundational pills. Among them were Yun Xiaotiao and Zhu Rong, who received many foundational pills from Scypher before.

If he had aqua spirit fruits now, he would have started refining them earlier.

“Is he going to refine more He doesn't have aqua spirit fruits, and if he were to refine foundational pills, he would have started by now. Foundational pills are easier to refine than essence soul pills.” Liu Meng’er said doubtfully.

Hua Xiangyue looked at the resting Scypher with a furrowed brow, her face displaying an intense and slightly surprised expression. She seemed to have sensed something but couldn’t be certain.

“What’s wrong” Liu Meng’er asked upon seeing Hua Xiangyue’s expression.

“I’m not sure, but let’s see. What kind of alchemy technique does this little brat use to reach such a level,” Hua Xiangyue said as she shook her head.

Suddenly, she noticed Scypher taking out a large pile of ingredients. Her pupils constricted as her body trembled slightly, and she became agitated: “No way! Has this kid reached that point”

Seeing Hua Xiangyue’s face change, Liu Meng’er was certain that Scypher must have done something extraordinary. She said, “Those aren’t the multicolored spirit fruits he bought at the auction And there are others... Could these be the materials for refining true yuan pills!”

Hua Xiangyue exhaled deeply, closed her beautiful eyes, and nodded. “Yes, those are five-colored preparations, including colorless ginseng and leaves! He probably hasn't refined true yuan pills before, but now he's trying...”

“What” Liu Meng’er was startled, her expression also changing. “To refine pills he's never refined before under such conditions Could... He knows the Evolve Refinement technique”

“Indeed! That’s why I’m suspicious. If he knows the Evolve Refinement technique, it means there must be an alchemist with extraordinary skills guiding him!”

Good-eyed alchemists immediately recognized the dazzling multicolored ingredients Scypher had brought out, causing a group of alchemists to murmur among themselves quietly.

The true yuan pills of the five elements were favored by geniuses with multiple veins, offering substantial benefits to multi-veined martial artists. It was said that one true yuan pill could elevate a real martial artist’s realm from level 1 to level 2, filled with abundant essence qi. Even non-multi-veined martial artists could benefit from it as the essence qi produced after refining true yuan pills was very special.

Scypher guessed that the essence qi was Kunlun True Qi. This essence qi indeed had magical properties, easily assimilating into one’s attributes. For example, after integrating five-element essence qi, when he used the Green Dragon Demon-Killing Sword, it could unleash powerful wood attributes of essence qi, equivalent to several times the power before integration.

“Those two multicolored spirit fruits at the auction must have been bought by this kid.” Lin Yingxiao said, as it was he and Scypher who were competing for them.

“True yuan pills—these are much more expensive than foundational pills and tend to be highly sought after in auctions. A few of them can break through someone’s realm, earning them the title of the king among spirit fruits!” Gudongchen was amazed.

The ingredients for true yuan pills weren’t as scarce as essence soul pills in the Dawn of Star civilization, and they occasionally appeared there. Thus, many alchemists were familiar with them.

Scypher was slowly processing the true yuan pill ingredients, unlike before when he was more skilled. It was evident that he was unfamiliar with this process, leading others to doubt whether he had refined true yuan pills before.

Knowing that refining ingredients for true yuan pills, foundational pills, and essence soul pills required similar difficulty levels but produced the same number of pills as hundred beast pills (around six to seven), Scypher’s success would undoubtedly make him the first if he succeeded.

Meanwhile, most of the other alchemists in the competition had completed their tasks. They all used simple furnaces, and since they had refined hundred beast pills beforehand, they had a high success rate. Then came the refinement of other miscellaneous pills with fluctuating prices, and they weren’t like Scypher who had so many rare ingredients for the refinement of these spirit fruits.

These alchemists, as level six experts, managed to complete their tasks without blowing up any furnaces or failing. They had accumulated significant strength by using large quantities of medicinal pills.

Only Scypher remained incomplete, finishing the final spirit fruit pill. Time was running out, and soon he would move forward.

Seeing others refine true yuan pills made these alchemists excited, as they were deeply engrossed and very excited. They didn’t know that Scypher was attempting true yuan pills for the first time, under immense pressure.

The alchemists naturally didn’t want Scypher to succeed, fearing they would lose their chance of victory.

“This little brat is indeed refining true yuan pills for the first time. He really dares to do it! If he succeeds, it means he has grasped the essence of Evolve Refinement!” Hua Xiangyue frowned slightly. She had endured much hardship when learning the Evolve Refinement technique, while Scypher started at around thirty years old. This made her very envious of his talent.

During Scypher’s break, Su Meiyao carefully explained the essence of refining true yuan pills. He completed his explanation only now, and he had also processed all the ingredients.

His slowness in processing was due to using his divine consciousness to deeply understand the ingredients. He needed this understanding for precise Evolve Refinement, and now he felt ready to start. After taking a deep breath, he released the illusory treasure furnace.

Seeing Scypher stop processing ingredients, everyone held their breath and watched carefully, worried they might miss any detail. This kind of spectacle was難得一見, possibly only occurring once in their lives.

Hua Xiangyue and Liu Meng’er were also extremely nervous. If Scypher truly grasped Evolve Refinement, his talent would be incredibly extraordinary.

Even Su Meiyao, Bai Youyou, and Long Xueyi were slightly nervous as well.

The entire arena was instantly filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, making breathing difficult.son mist."It's divine essence. Heavenly Spirit Realm's divine essence is everywhere, and since he is a divine being, it's easy for him to absorb this energy." Su Meiyao explained.Three and a half hour...
