Chapter 1305: A Trial Run of Divine Refinement Technique

和武開明隻認為沈翔被折磨得上癮了，竟然自己去找罪受。不過他們卻是非常佩服沈翔的。能自覺地去那裡是非常難能可貴的事情。一路上，沈翔問了一些事情。瞭解這段時間發生了什麼。讓他大吃一驚的是，辰武大陸上竟然聚集了來自六十個大陸的精英武者。涅槃境的就有上百個，而且都是掌教級彆。不過大多數都隻渡過涅槃劫六劫而已。七劫的雖然有，但不多！像古東辰這種渡過涅槃八劫的更是少之又少了。所以古東辰在這群掌教巨頭中可算是非...Chapter 1305: A Preview of Divine Alchemy

The Chief Steward was very eager for Shen Xiang to win. If he did, it would indicate that No.6 shop was more powerful than No.1 shop and also prove that No.6 shop could attract better alchemists.

“Martial Art Master, if you win, Xiao Ling will belong to you in the future. I won’t ask you to pay a ten million immortal crystal ransom for her, let alone anything else. I can decide this matter! This is mainly to help vent the spirit of No.6 shop…” The chief steward whispered to Shen Xiang.

The competition for the throne was a test of overall strength, and pill shops were also significant factors. A small victory here could make many people see that No.6 Prince was slightly better than others, allowing more people to know how they should take sides.

“That’s what you said. Well, I’ll definitely win!”

Shen Xiang was processing the medicinal materials for Life Saving Pill, such as White Jade Lotus Seed and Rejuvenating Grass. He was very familiar with these materials—he could handle them well even if his eyes were closed.

The alchemist sent by He Hong Hall came from the fourth and fifth levels downstairs. Although he was an old man, Shen Xiang learned through low whispers that this old man was a Dan King—he could refine Heavenly-grade pills.

"Master Zhong is a Dan King. He ranks among the best in refining Earth-grade superior pills, and he has refined Life Saving Pill countless times. There’s no doubt that I’ll win." He Hong said with a cold smile.

Two ordinary alchemy furnaces were placed there, and the attendees started checking them. This was a rule inside Wan Dan Pavilion: after ensuring no issues, they returned to Shen Xiang and Master Zhong.

"Brat, don’t underestimate the alchemists inside Wan Dan Divine Country. This place has hidden talents like tigers and dragons, my little master said this many times before. This Divine Country hides many powerful alchemists. Be careful," Su Meiyao warned him, although she knew that Shen Xiang wouldn’t be overly confident.

“I know!” Shen Xiang was calm. He remained unaffected by distractions and always kept his focus on the competition.

"Still planning to use your Divine Alchemy method These old fellows are much more proficient than you. If they can refine the same quantity and quality of Life Saving Pill as yours, but slightly faster, you’ll lose. This is the Heavenly Realm; if they’re confident enough to win, they wouldn’t send ordinary alchemists," said White Yoyo. Although she didn’t know about alchemy, she knew the basics of it.

“I know what to do.” Shen Xiang put all the main and auxiliary medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace. He was slightly slower than them, so someone already believed he would lose.

Time was critical in a competition between alchemists of the same level!

“Indeed, he’s very proficient!” Shen Xiang sensed the rapid and stable changes inside Master Zhong’s alchemy furnace, marveling inwardly. Such an alchemist was stronger than he had seen in the Holy Pill Realm.

Some attendees praised Master Zhong. The smooth and fast operation inside the alchemy furnace indicated that the refined materials would be quick to form and of high quality.

Contrary to that, Shen Xiang’s alchemy furnace emitted chaotic flames. It wasn’t the level expected from a respected alchemist, causing attendees to frown inwardly.

"Just boasting. The soul fire belongs to us," He Hong said condescendingly.

The chief steward was worried. If Shen Xiang lost, No.6 shop would lose face. Although a few princes’ shops rarely competed, once they did, it was essential to have an absolute victory. Otherwise, the losing shop would be ridiculed for a long time.

"What’s wrong with this guy I thought he was pretty good earlier, but his alchemy furnace has become such a mess"

"Yeah. My disciple controls better than him. Is he crazy, showing off his level of skill by betting on the soul fire!"

"Is No.6 shop blind Such an alchemist can have a servant!"

He Hong became even more smug hearing others gossip, while the chief steward was anxious. He had seen Shen Xiang refine Life Saving Pill before, but now Shen Xiang’s level was far from what he saw, making him believe that Shen Xiang wasn’t performing well due to the pressure of winning or losing.

While everyone was whispering, Old Man Lee, who had been left aside, actually put away his alchemy furnace and joined the crowd to watch.

Old Man Lee was also a significant figure in Wan Dan Pavilion, as he had been sought after by many shops with generous offers back then. He refused and often ranked highly in competitions, making him one of the most authoritative people inside Wan Dan Pavilion.

“Old Man Lee, what do you think” someone asked. Old Man Lee was skilled at alchemy but wasn’t arrogant, and many people often chatted with him casually.

“Are you asking who will win” Old Man Lee asked in return.

“Yes, based on your experience, who do you think will win” the person asked again.

Old Man Lee frowned, observing Shen Xiang’s alchemy furnace. The changes inside were beyond his expectations. Although he could tell that Shen Xiang was proficient in refining Heaven Blood Pill and knew about Master Zhong’s alchemy furnace, he couldn’t explain why Shen Xiang was now performing so poorly.

Old Man Lee didn’t believe Shen Xiang would only perform at such a low level. He didn’t answer the person, carefully sensing the changes inside Shen Xiang’s alchemy furnace.

Shen Xiang was refining Life Saving Pill by using his Divine Alchemy method. The unstable nature of the process was due to him not using the Divine Alchemy method but relying on his strong divine power.

He divided the alchemy furnace into several zones for auxiliary medicinal materials and separate main materials. After dividing them, he used the Divine Alchemy method to rapidly forge the medicinal materials into powder and medicinal energy.

Previously, when he refined Unity Pill, it was easier to control because he did it in his palm. However, refining Life Saving Pill inside the alchemy furnace was more challenging, but it was still manageable since he had a good understanding of the medicinal materials.

The Divine Alchemy method involved using strong mental force and intense flames to burn away the stubborn spirit inside medicinal materials, melting it down. The process required using deep and magical incantations from the Heavenly Refinement Techniques, which were essential for success.

"Strange. He’s using intense flames to burn medicinal materials as if it was a big taboo during normal alchemy. Normally, the furnace would have exploded by now," Old Man Lee murmured.

Indeed, the hot air emitted by Shen Xiang’s alchemy furnace gave attendees such an impression. Normally, hastily burning medicinal materials was a big taboo during normal alchemy.

"So, we’re definitely winning. The fire is so strong from the beginning that even the spiritual energy inside the medicinal materials would be destroyed," He Hong became more confident, looking excited as if he obtained the soul fire.st. A very strange and somewhat soft force melted it away!"Bad!" Schenxiang hurriedly took out the Nine Heavens Divine Sword, but it was actually hard to take out. It was being sucked by a suction for...
