To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Final Match
“Master And Jian, actually I have some knowledge about this. In an ancient record owned by my teacher, he mentioned that there was a way to condense fire so that alchemists could make a pill above the grade he had. This method uses a large formation that has been arranged by formation masters who master the fire element. That way the formation will be able to condense fire according to the level of formation master maker” Zhen Yuan said.
He realized that the information he explained would make a change in the alchemist sciences on the origin land. But this was also done so that his identity in the central palace would be even higher.
“When the formation master sets up a fire formation at grade 7 then he can create a fire formation that can condense alchemist flames up to grade 8. Similarly, if a 6th class master, he can create a formation that can condense alchemist fire up to 7.” class.
Everyone other than master Dan Jian looked puzzled, meanwhile master Dan Jian was very surprised by Zhen Yuan's explanation.
“That's right! How did you know that?” Master Dan Jian was unable to hold it in anymore, and asked Zhen Yuan.
“Ancient note, my teacher has explained it.”
“Then does your teacher also explain the formation stored in that ancient record?”
Zhen Yuan shook his head, “I can't remember it. But it's possible that in the future I can remember some of them”
Master Dan Jian looked so spirited, if it was true that the formation described on the ancient records in the central palace and Zhen Yuan's explanation was real then it wouldn't be difficult to create a grade-7 pill in the future. Even a grade-9 alchemist might be able to create a grade-7 pill with the help of a fire formation.
“Good! since your answer is correct then the points on the last question are given to Zhen Yuan and become the winner at the first stage!” And Jian decided.
After which, some of the palace elders started to re-prepare something. This time the 3 large furnaces had stood gallantly in the middle of the competition hall. The furnace was 3 times the size of an elephant with a width of almost 5 adult men holding hands around it.
“These three giant stoves are none other than the most important treasure possessed by the central region Pill Palace. This was because they only had 3 on this land and each was equivalent to a legendary grade-6 weapon.
What made this pill especially valuable was that these three furnaces were only used by Mortal realm cultivators or 6th grade alchemists to create pills. It is ensured that the success rate of purification is 70% and produces medium quality up to 90%.
Today all three will be worn by the 3 strongest finalists in the pill competition. They will make the best pill they have. Anyone capable of making a pill of the highest grade would be the winner in this stage. Of course, if all three purify the pill in the same class, it will be measured by the quality of the pill and the number of pills produced.” Master Dan Jian explained at length regarding the rules in the second hold.
Zhen Yuan became serious, the reason is that in this stage he only has 40% confidence to come out as a winner. If only he managed to become a grade-6 alchemist as well then he believed this stage also fell to him.
While the patriarch Yiqian and elder Sazi were very happy to see the test of the second stage that was very beneficial to them. Both of them were confident of being able to defeat Zhen Yuan who was only a mere 7th class master.
“You can write down the ingredients and recipes of the pill that you will make on the roll next to the furnace. We will prepare the ingredients in just 1 serving.” master Dan Jian said as he glanced at Zhen Yuan.
Most of them believed that Zhen Yuan would perform by creating a Soul Essence Pill. Although it might not be a grade-6 pill but it was still a legendary pill and had almost the same difficulty as a grade-6 pill. Moreover, Zhen Yuan had also managed to purify the soul essence pill earlier. They did not at all think Zhen Yuan would intend to purify a grade-6 pill like the other 2 finalists.
Zhen Yuan started writing down some ingredients in the scroll after a long time of thinking about choosing the pill he was going to purify. He had also analyzed the possible pill that would be made by patriarch Yiqian and elder Sazi.
The young man was the last to gather the scrolls of materials on the palace elders, but also the least in terms of material requirements. There are just less than 10 ingredients and 3 complements listed while the other two each write more than 30 main ingredients and more than dozens of complementary ingredients. What a stark difference.
But the on-duty elder did not comment further and began preparing the materials the finalists wanted. Because preparing too many ingredients and herbs with limited time made him pay less attention to the recipe written by Zhen Yuan.
