Vanya dejectedly left the arena. Now, he became a spectator, watching Shen Xiang and Xie Nanchong's battle. He realized that there was still a big gap between him and Shen Xiang, despite having fused the Yinfire Soul.

"The inferior pill furnace has already been refined to its limits. The Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill is a Lower-grade Earth Rank Pill, and the violent power that arises when refining it can easily destroy these inferior pill furnaces." An old man patted Vanya's shoulder and smiled, "Boy, you did well. If I were to refine it, even the Refinement Heaven Rank might be too difficult for me."Vanya shook his head and smiled, "But they can do it. Especially Shen Xiang. He's only making this pill for the first time, using such a broken pill furnace."The old man didn't say anything and just lowered his head, deep in thought.

To Shen Xiang, it didn't matter what type of pill furnace he used. His mana could easily suppress the violent medicinal essence, making his path in alchemy smoother. He was no longer as difficult to deal with as Su Meiyao described when dealing with violent medicinal essence.

"Only one more hour until day ends!" Yan Zilan said.Shen Xiang was only at the middle stage now. He had fully burned all herbs, turning them into medicinal powder and essence. The next step was to fuse multiple essences with the powder and refine them into pills. But this process also took time."Be careful in the later stage!" Su Meiyao said.Shen Xiang's brows twitched as he realized that his pill furnace had already exploded during the simulation, indicating a serious problem."Sure enough, it's hard!" Shen Xiang was dripping with sweat. His mind constantly simulated and discovered major mistakes, all in attempts to correct them before they happened. He was so immersed that he didn't even have time to rest, trying his best to find his own errors.Shen Xiang's pill furnace shook even more violently, but there was no such shake from Xie Nanchong. Though his face showed relief compared to Shen Xiang, who seemed like he was on the verge of blowing up.If Shen Xiang hadn't stuck a layer of mana on the pill furnace's inner wall, creating an inner furnace, his pill furnace would've exploded long ago. The medicinal essence had become extremely violent and explosive as they fused together, like a volcanic eruption or the collision of meteors."Done!" Xie Nanchong suddenly shouted.Xie Nanchong wiped the sweat from his forehead as he calmly took action, but his pill furnace suddenly exploded. A burst of golden light emerged from it, and golden gas spread outwards, a golden pill floating amidst the golden gas.Shen Xiang frowned secretly. That dense golden gas was a mix of medicinal essence and powder, but Xie Nanchong didn't utilize it fully. This wasted so much and pained him, feeling like his heart was being squeezed. If it were him, he could surely refine two pills.Many people had seen Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pills before, but only experienced alchemists could refine them. Seeing such a young alchemist making it amazed many experienced ones, feeling like they were wasting their lives.The dazzling golden Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill was of very high quality. Being able to refine such a good pill under the harsh conditions made many alchemists admire him. Xie Nanchong had been refining pills without rest before."Only one pill can be produced from a Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill. His speed is so fast, and the quality is good too. If Shen Xiang can make a Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill of similar quality, I believe the final winner will still be Xie Nanchong because his speed is much faster than Shen Xiang's," an old man said, stroking his beard.Vanya heard this and smiled calmly. "This might not happen. Everyone can see the number of pills Shen Xiang makes. If he could make two Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pills, then he'd be the winner regardless of whether they're of low quality or not. Even if they were of low quality, in terms of value and alchemy techniques, Shen Xiang would still win."Two pills of low quality were better than one pill of high quality, even if Shen Xiang was slower, he'd still win."It's hard. It's his first time refining pills, and the Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill has violent essence. It's hard to divide it into two parts and condense them separately, so I have to discard some of the essence. This is why from ancient times till now, when Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pills are refined, it's called 'Golden Fogs fill the sky'," said the old man. "This Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill is so expensive because of this reason-there's only one pill produced, refining it is difficult. If its use was more, then there could be more pills, making it a Middle-grade Earth Rank Pill."Shen Xiang's pill furnace continued to shake violently, but everyone had already gotten used to it. It shook for so long without exploding that everyone felt disappointed."When refining this Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill, I can only produce one pill. But if you were doing it instead, I think two pills might come out. But consider carefully because once the essence is fused together, it's hard to separate them again and they can cause a large explosion resulting in failure," Su Meiyao said.Shen Xiang had already fused all the medicinal powder and essence into a golden gas. He thought he could at least divide it into three parts."Three pills!" Shen Xiang decided, releasing all his mana and started tearing apart the warm gas in the pill furnace. The violent medicinal essence surged during this process, propelling the pill furnace upwards, causing it to jump into mid-air.Seeing Shen Xiang's pill furnace suddenly leap, everyone thought he was done for. But Shen Xiang remained calm because his mana was still inside the pill furnace.The pill furnace quickly fell again and slowed down as it touched the ground. It landed gently, leaving everyone speechless. They all wished to examine the pill furnace thoroughly, hoping it was an Upper-grade Pill Furnace that could produce such a big explosion without exploding."Only half an hour left!" Xie Nanchong was suddenly nervous. He could see that Shen Xiang had held out and wasn't failing yet, even as he continued to fight. If Shen Xiang could also refine the Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pill, even though its quality might not be as high as Xie Nanchong's, the victory wouldn't feel right. After all, Shen Xiang was doing his first attempt.Shen Xiang had started from a lower base compared to others, but he reached the final step, showing that his foundation and potential were enormous.The violent shaking suddenly stopped, and Shen Xiang exhaled deeply. He opened his eyes, hearing that he had succeeded despite his tired state from the mental strain.The first attempt at refining Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pills in this way left him with admiration from many alchemists as they saw that even those who thought they could do better than Shen Xiang were wrong.Shen Xiang opened the pill furnace, taking out three black pills. The entire arena was stunned because golden Nine Aperture Body Refinement Pills were good quality, but Shen Xiang's were black. Though he had three pills, the failure meant that no matter how many more pills were produced, it wouldn't change anything.pression roared wildly, then disappeared forever!Shen Xiang used his full strength, merging dragon god power from Peng Xueyi. Now he became the devil killer, and his Seal of Demon Suppression and Gree...
