ps: (Thanks to the monthly tickets my friend qazzxc123 for bidding! The second update is delivered today!)

However, Jiang Chen did not pay too much attention to the gaze around him. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he flicked his fingers and informed Yue Shan of the materials he wanted with the sound transmission note.

Not long after, Yue Shan ordered a large pile of materials to pile on the stone platform, and there were a lot of them, which looked more than 30.

Jiang Chen plans to refine the third-level medium-grade elixir, Yuan Pei Pill, which is a pill that can increase the cultivation of Jindan cultivators, and it is very difficult.

Jiang Chen looked up and found that the other people had already started to make fire. It seemed that they were preparing to refine the elixir materials.

In the hall, the twelve contestants pulled their minds back to the test questions they were about to face.

They opened the dragon's head, and the flames spewed out in the dragon's head, and the bright flames rushed high, burning the alchemy cauldron with a whimper.

At this time, all the eight major families sent special personnel to take out alchemy materials from the family's warehouse for the players to use. Then, the cold ginseng began the first step in refining elixirs: refining!

Jiang Chen stared at the alchemy cauldron, and sometimes waved his palms and threw one or two medicinal materials on the stone platform into the alchemy cauldron.

At the same time, he also carefully controlled the switch of the dragon head, adjusted the temperature of the flame, and prepared each material according to the amount recorded in the elixir recipe.

Although he had already remembered the pill recipe clearly, he did not dare to be careless at all. The Yue family had only three pieces of materials this time. If one piece of materials was invalid due to a mistake, it would greatly increase the possibility of failure of this game. If he was a little careless, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

This is something that Jiang Chen can never tolerate. Therefore, although with his powerful spiritual sense and perfect control ability of spiritual power, he still dare not throw all the elixir materials at one time. Instead, he can only choose to refine one medicinal material at a time, so as to ensure the maximum possibility of success.

There are not many people who have the same idea as Jiang Chen. This is true, including Zhang Hongbei, Zhang Hongbao, Qin Yuan and others. Even Zhang Han, who is charming, like an elf from the mortal world, has a pretty face at this moment, carefully controlling the temperature, and carefully refining each medicinal material and every bottle of medicinal powder.

Everyone knows very well. At this moment, losing a medicinal plant will bring you how much damage it will be.

Above the twelve dragon heads in the hall, the alchemy cauldrons were baked by ground fire, and in front of the twelve stone platforms, the contestants were all devoted to meditations that were refining medicinal materials...

At this time, nearly half an hour had passed since the assessment. Some alchemists who needed to extract fewer medicinal materials had already refined the medicinal materials and began to prepare for the next step of alchemy.

However, Jiang Chen had no time to see the situation of other contestants. He stared at the alchemy cauldron and put the prepared medicine materials into the position where they should stay in the alchemy cauldron.

After some busyness, sweat gradually appeared on Jiang Chen's forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it off, so he threw the last medicinal material on the stone platform into the alchemy cauldron. After completing the steps of refining various medicinal materials, he could start to refine alchemy.

Seeing that his refining process was so smooth, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and found that Zhang Hongbao, Qin Yuan, and Zhang Han were still in shock. Only Zhang Hongbei had completed the refining work and began to prepare to use the alchemy fire in his body to refine the alchemy.

"It seems that the level of the elixir they want to refine this time is not low. Although the number of medicinal materials extracted does not represent the grade of the elixir. But generally speaking, the more medicinal materials they need to be refined, the more complex the elixirs, the naturally the grade should not be much lower."

However, since he had decided what pills to refine, he should not think too much. After shaking his head slightly, Jiang Chen began the next step of forming a pill with a serious expression.

The bright red flame slowly rose from the dragon's head. Jiang Chen's eyes were staring at the whirring flames. After a moment, his hands suddenly danced, and the flames immediately rushed into the alchemy, swallowing the materials they had previously invested instantly.

Jiang Chen's eyes were slightly closed at this time, and his surging spiritual consciousness enveloped inside and outside the alchemy.

The flame intensity outside the alchemy cauldron and the fusion reaction of each part of the elixir material inside the alchemy cauldron will be sent back to the mind instantly from the spiritual sense. Then he quickly compared it with the situation described in the alchemy recipe to judge whether the alchemy process is correct.

When Jiang Chen started to refine the alchemy, the Zhang brothers, Qin Yuan and the charming Zhang Yi also ended the refining of the elixir materials one after another. Then they looked at Jiang Chen who had already started refining the alchemy, and then put the refined materials into the alchemy cauldron. The steps of melting the elixir were also begun.

Some alchemists who know that their level is low or whose family's elixir materials are insufficient have chosen relatively easy to refine low-level elixirs. With their level, it is not a big problem to refine these elixirs. So some people have already finished refining.

In their opinion, if experts like Jiang Chen, Zhang Yan, and Zhang Hongbao are too pursuing the level of pills and do not refine pills within the specified time, or make a mistake in the middle, maybe they can get a hole and get rid of the danger of being at the bottom.

Half an hour later, the alchemists of the Ye family, Xiao family, and Tang family had already refined the elixir. The Ye family refined the Qi Condensation Pills, the Xiao family refined the Jing Qi San, and the Tang family refined the beast feeding pill. These three elixirs are all second-level lower-grade elixirs, and the level is the same. It depends on which elixir is of better quality. This must be determined by the referee.

At this moment, Hu Yu's expression moved, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. His eyes looked in the direction where Jiang Chen was. He saw a faint fragrance of pills slowly coming out from the alchemy tripod in front of Jiang Chen.

"This boy from Yue's family is going to become a pill so soon? It seems that his control over the temperature is really not enough!" Hu Yu had a good relationship with Yue Shan, so he naturally loved the house and the Wu, and he also had a good impression of Jiang Chen.

The faint elixir incense that penetrated from Jiang Chen's alchemy tripod was also noticed by Zhang Hongbei, Zhang Hongbao and Qin Yuan, who were not far away from him. Zhang Hongbei and Qin Yuan were a little surprised, but after sniffing a few elixirs, Zhang Hongbao sneered disdainfully. In his opinion, the concentration of the elixir incense is not as good as the elixir he has refined now.

He looked at his sister Zhang Yan, who was farther away, and saw her slim figure also busy, her jade hands flying up and down, as if he was still trying to refine herbal medicine.

"I don't know what pills I want to refine. The medicinal materials she took were much more precious than those she and her second brother used. Do you want to make a big splash again?" Zhang Hongbao thought to himself: "If the pills that Jiang Chen refined were the third-level middle-grade Peiyuan Pill, then this time the champion would definitely not be able to do with him.

His eyes stared at the rolling pills in the alchemy cauldron. After Jiang Chen smelled the overflowing pill fragrance, he shook his head slightly. It was difficult to win with the ordinary Peiyuan Pill. Although he was sure to enter the top three, he might not be sure to defeat Zhang Hongbao, let alone Zhang Yang, whose alchemy level is still above Zhang Hongbao.

"I can only fight!" After sighing softly, Jiang Chen took a deep breath. Then he pulled out the switch of the dragon head and increased the flame a little more. He was preparing to refine the top-quality Peiyuan Pill.

Peiyuan Pill is only a third-level medium-grade elixir, but if you are refining and increasing the heat, you will not burn the elixir, so that the impurities can be dissolved and discharged, and it will drop to a level close to zero. Then this Peiyuan Pill may become a third-level top-grade elixir. This third-level top-grade Peiyuan Pill has the effect of more than three times that of ordinary Peiyuan Pill, but the materials required for refining are the same. Therefore, if he can refine it, he will become the champion without dispute.

"Jiang Chen is too impulsive! Refining an ordinary Peiyuan Pill is enough to enter the top three, so why bother to compete for the first place? If you only face Zhang Hongbao, you may be able to fight. Zhang Yan is not so easy to win!" Master Ouyang's face changed suddenly when he saw Jiang Chen's movements.

Sure enough, not long after, he realized that the originally peaceful and indifferent green flames in Jiang Chen's alchemy suddenly became disordered, and the heat was much greater than before. Jiang Chen seemed to have lost control of the flames.

I saw that under the alchemy tripod in front of Jiang Chen, the bright red flames almost surrounded the entire alchemy tripod, and the air around the stone platform was smoked and a little blurred.

After such a big noise, countless eyes immediately shot over the audience in the hall. When they saw Jiang Chen sweating profusely, but his face was a little depressed, they all screamed in a low voice.

"Oh! Failed!" Jiang Chen sighed while feeling the sound in the alchemy and smelling a burnt smell.

At this time, a muffled sound came out, and a black sticky liquid, with a burnt smell, flowed out of the alchemy cauldron.

Zhang Er, Zhang Hongbao, Zhang Hongbei and Qin Yuan, who had been invading the elixir melting step, turned their heads and turned their eyes to the direction where Jiang Chen was, looking at the black sticky liquid flowing out of the elixir. The expressions on their faces were also somewhat different.

"What a pity!" Zhang Yi sighed softly. Jiang Chen was her strongest opponent in this game, but now it seems that his situation is the least optimistic, and he has lost a piece of materials.

Zhang Hongbao and Zhang Hongbei were gloating expressions, and they thought to themselves: "Since Jiang Chen has failed, then let's watch us perform next."

Qin Yuanze closed his lips tightly. Although he felt a little regretful, he was more happy. Since Jiang Chen participated in the competition, he and the witch Zhang Yan had undoubtedly become the most popular contestant in this eight major families' alchemy competition. This also felt a little indignant for Qin Yuan, who has always been a bit arrogant. (To be continued...)
