Chapter 579:出手震驚

    

anger, you can run," said Flower Scent Moon while pulling Shen Xiang’s hand. "Stay close to me, I’ve been in before and know the way."Shen Xiang was touched as he said, "Sister Scent Moon, you’re real...Chapter 579: Impressive Display

In his heart, Shen Xiang secretly cursed Fan Ya坤 for being so stingy when choosing a furnace. Not only was he unable to refine a Kunxuan-grade medicinal pill, but even Spirit-grade pills would be very challenging with such poor quality furnaces.

Meanwhile, Fan Ya坤 was intent on refining a grade Earth Pill of average quality himself. Shen Xiang accidentally glanced at Fan Ya坤's expression and could tell that he was cursing the trash-like furnace just as Shen Xiang was.

Due to the furnaces, their progress was extremely slow as they slowly burned away the stubborn medicinal ingredients inside. If more fire power were used, the fragile furnace would crack under the heat, resulting in a failed attempt.

It was reassuring to Fan Ya坤 that he believed Shen Xiang would also fail because of the furnace, resulting in either both failing or him being the only successful one. However, he didn't have too much confidence in the latter.

At this moment, Shen Xiang's furnace started trembling violently. The tremors were so pronounced that it caused the people around to gossip and worry, fearing that a massive ball of fire would suddenly explode. Shen Xiang's furnace gave off intense flames, exuding a dominating and violent aura that swept across the entire plaza.

Just the momentum of those flames was impressive, and if they had appeared, touching them wouldn't have been pleasant. Everyone now admired Shen Xiang for being able to prevent his furnace from melting while releasing such flames.

In contrast, Fan Ya坤's flame release was gentle and didn't cause discomfort. However, both he and Shen Xiang faced the same crisis—the furnace could explode at any moment due to a slight mistake in fire control.

Both of them were dripping with sweat and struggling to maintain their concentration while pushing the limits of their endurance. They had to focus on the furnace's stability, which demanded a great deal from them.

Now, Shen Xiang was even more serious than before when refining. He couldn't afford any lapses of concentration, all thanks to the immense pressure he felt. He had realized that refining medicinal pills required competition with others, enabling rapid progress and the ability to perform exceptionally well in challenging situations!

After an hour, the furnace that was about to explode at any moment remained intact for both of them. The furnace had become increasingly red, resembling a heated iron block emitting dazzling red light.

Shen Xiang and Fan Ya坤 didn't expect to hold out for so long, although they both believed the furnace would break soon. Despite their determination, they pushed themselves to their limits and endured.

Shen Xiang's furnace was shaking, but this was intentional, making sure the heat wouldn't fuse it. Fan Ya坤's furnace trembled because of a problem during the refining process, causing instability and potential explosion.

"That guy is almost done!" Su Meiyao said anxiously. She hoped Shen Xiang would win, especially since the current round was disadvantageous for both parties.

If neither of them succeeded in this round, Fan Ya坤 would be more cautious when the next round started. Winning would become much harder.

Suddenly, a loud explosion accompanied by scorching heat waves filled the air. Shen Xiang was alarmed and quickly unleashed his strength, forming a protective shield around himself and the furnace. This catastrophe was caused by Fan Ya坤's furnace exploding!

Fan Ya坤's furnace evaporated into nothingness, turning into powdery ash. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a slightly pale face and beads of sweat all over his body. He was catching his breath, stunned by the fact that he had failed. Simultaneously, he immediately looked towards Shen Xiang.

The plaza erupted into chaos, filled with murmurs and sighs. Those who practiced alchemy couldn't help feeling sorry for the wasted ingredients of the youthfulness medicinal pill, feeling heartache.

Despite Shen Xiang's furnace shaking violently, the inside was much more stable than Fan Ya坤's. However, the nature of the medicinal ingredients in his furnace was less violent than Fan Ya坤's, but the situation remained precarious.

Quickly recovering from his failure, Fan Ya坤 realized the importance of his mindset. He needed to maintain confidence and prepare for the next round, believing that even Shen Xiang wouldn't succeed. He noticed that Shen Xiang's furnace was on the brink of destruction, just like his own earlier.

While it was considered weak to anticipate other's failure, Fan Ya坤 grew increasingly hopeful as he saw Shen Xiang enduring the pressure for longer. Otherwise, he would fail, and he was deeply proud of himself. He found it hard to accept the setback as his skills hadn't been fully displayed, only limited by the quality of the furnace.

Similarly, Shen Xiang had been restrained by the furnace. If Shen Xiang succeeded, it would imply that his skills surpassed Fan Ya坤's.

Now, Shen Xiang was thoroughly drenched in sweat. He wasn't overheated by the furnace but because of his intense mental state, causing extreme tension and anxiety. He had burned half of the ingredients, with fragmented medicinal essence and spiritual energy raging uncontrollably in his furnace, making him feel increasingly overwhelmed.

"Now!" Shen Xiang's pupils suddenly contracted. His gaze was focused as the furnace turned into ashes, and a dazzling red light appeared, floating in mid-air!

In that instant, Shen Xiang successfully transferred everything inside the low-quality furnace to an illusory talisman furnace!

The transparent furnaces, though invisible, were of superior quality compared to other low-quality ones.

Now, the audience could see the medicinal ingredients being burned by flames in the middle layer, emitting dazzling red light. The energy that flowed like a river of crimson appeared to be vaporizing and flowing towards the top layer, making it visible for everyone. Many were left in awe as they witnessed this scene for the first time.

Fan Ya坤, who was closest to Shen Xiang, stood in shock. He stared at the beautiful red light that emerged from Shen Xiang's refining process, only visible inside his furnace. However, the actual scene played out in his mind, making it vastly different from witnessing it with his own eyes. Even experienced alchemists would be amazed by such a sight.

Fan Ya坤 didn't expect Shen Xiang to use such a technique. Although he knew that Shen Xiang could refine medicinal pills without relying on furnaces, he didn't anticipate him transferring everything inside the broken furnace to an invisible one. Seeing Shen Xiang's unparalleled technique, Fan Ya坤 felt a surge of desire to become his disciple!er would need to use his full strength to kill this thing.The Divine Dragon Prince lost heavily in this situation. Not only did he waste so many days, but the magic treasure that could track the Green...
