Chapter 437 Turn the tide
Zhang Yan sighed in his heart at this time: "Jiang Chen, since you have lost, then no one can stop me in this conference! Of course, the champion of this Shang League alchemy competition will belong to me again!"
Tell me, her charming little mouth appeared a charming smile. With a wave of her jade hand, she adjusted the dragon head under the alchemy, and saw the bright red flames surging again. Various medicinal materials were smoked by the flames and began to blend perfectly together...
In the seat of the Yue family, Yue Shan and Yue Feng both felt nervous and couldn't help but make a sound of regret.
Huang Xiuli's pretty face suddenly changed color and said, "Uncle, did Jiang Chen fail?"
Yue Shan's face also changed slightly, and he turned to look at Jiang Chen and whispered: "Yes."
But he immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, I gave him three pieces of materials, he still has a chance!"
Although he said this, Yue Shan felt a little depressed and bitter. Although he could not refine alchemy, he also understood very well how difficult it would be for Jiang Chen to win again in this situation.
Judging from his previous methods, he was obviously not familiar with the refining process of the top-quality Peiyuan Pill, especially the control of the heat. If this was his bottom limit, then the only two opportunities left in the next were probably not much better, and time was tight.
Under such a high-profile situation, Jiang Chen was already under great pressure. Now, coupled with this failure, the tension in his heart will undoubtedly double. Even some advanced alchemists with rich experience in alchemy will find it difficult to restore their peak state in a short period of time in this situation.
Moreover, it is a competition now, and it is not an ordinary alchemy. It allows the alchemist to take a break, restore his state and then refine. The time in front of him is extremely precious and it is impossible for people to stop and waste it.
Therefore, if Jiang Chen was in a state of failure for too long, then there would be not enough time. He would not say that he would lose the competition for the championship or the top three, even entering the top seven would become a problem.
Therefore, now everyone in the Yue family can only pray in their hearts, hoping that Jiang Chen has a strong mind and can find himself back from failure as soon as possible and return to his peak state. Then, he still has a certain chance to refine an ordinary Peiyuan Pill so that he can firmly rank in the top three.
As for what kind of super-pure Yuan Dan to try again, that is something that even Huang Xiuli, the girl who admires Jiang Chen the most, never thought about.
At this time, the Li family, Song family, Qin family and Zhang Hongbei of the Zhang family had already become pills, and the level of the pills refined ranged from the second-level middle-level to the second-level top-level top-level. They all chose pills with good skills and high success rates when refining. Therefore, except for the disciples of the Li family and the Song family who failed once, everyone else succeeded at one time. Although they had no hope for the championship, there was no problem in entering the top seven.
Currently, there are only Jiang Chen, Zhang Yan and Zhang Hongbao, but have not yet achieved results. Although their strength is recognized as the top three, if one of them makes a mistake, someone among them can take the opportunity to make up and become the third place. For example, Jiang Chen is the most likely to fail now because he has wasted a piece of alchemy materials.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongbei couldn't help staring at the materials in front of Jiang Chen, and sneered at Jiang Chen and sarcastically said, "Jiang Chen. There is only half of the time left now. Do you want to refine a pill that exceeds me? Haha. You have to do things within your ability. Otherwise, you can only make people laugh! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Jiang Chen ignored his sarcastic words, but waved his sleeves lightly and exerted a stream of spiritual power. He blew away all the black viscous liquid flowing on the stone platform in front of him. Then he patted the storage bag and took out the second prepared material. The stone platform was immediately filled with medicinal materials again.
He gritted his teeth and began to repeat the process from refining to melting the pill again...
At this time, Zhang Hongbao had already become a pill. With one move of his hand, he put the pill flying out of the pill cauldron into a small porcelain bottle. What he refined was a third-level mid-grade pill Qingyuan Pill. This pill can increase the cultivation of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and the effect is better than the average Peiyuan Pill. Of course, it must be worse than the super-grade Peiyuan Pill, but Jiang Chen could not refine the pill, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he looked at Jiang Chen who was still working hard to refine the pills, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although his face was very well controlled, his eyelids also jumped up. He couldn't understand why Jiang Chen still had such firm perseverance after experiencing this blow.
"Uncle, does Jiang Chen still have a chance to win now?" Huang Xiuli asked nervously, grabbing Yue Shan's sleeve.
"I don't know!" Yue Shan shook his head slightly and sighed: "As it still said, everything depends on Jiang Chen's performance. Although he is quite strong, he seems to have recovered now. But the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Do you know the strength of that witch Zhang Yan is definitely above Zhang Hongbao. In this competition, it's really hard to predict who will win!"
"He is going to start refining!" Huang Xiuli also clenched her pink fists, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at Jiang Chen.
At this time, Jiang Chen's palm slowly raised. A surge of spiritual power surged out from his fingers and poured into the alchemy cauldron. Then, he swung the switch of the dragon's head, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a surging bright flame rising into the sky, wrapping the golden jade cauldron, like a fireball.
Ging at the flames around the alchemy cauldron, Jiang Chen flicked his fingers lightly, and the medicinal materials on the stone platform were also fanned into the alchemy cauldron by him. Suddenly, balls of flames rushed up, wrapped them up, and then baked and burned.
This time, Jiang Chen's refining and elixir melting speed were obviously much faster than before. Moreover, when he took action, he no longer felt cautious and cautious. When he controlled the fire, he had no hesitation. In his every move, he had a faint sense of calmness. This temperament usually only appeared on those advanced alchemists with extremely rich experience.
Jiang Chen's rejuvenation of alchemy undoubtedly caused another wave of attention in the hall. Because of his failure, many people thought that the Yue family had lost the opportunity, and instead believed that the Zhang family would become the champion again without dispute.
At this moment, Zhang Yan, who had been silent, slowly opened his pretty eyes. She stretched out a white and tender jade hand and opened the cover of the alchemy cauldron in front of her. A fresh and rich fragrance of alchemy immediately spread out to the audience. Her jade hand gently hooked, and a purple-red round alchemy ball flew out from the alchemy cauldron and drilled into the jade porcelain bottle that had been prepared.
She moved her lotus steps lightly, twisted her small waist like a water snake, and walked lightly to Master Ouyang, and said in a natural voice: "Vice President Ouyang, what he has refined is the third-level top-grade elixir, which can improve the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan stage cultivator and can also be used as a medicine for the cultivation of the infant pill."
As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, the audience was sensation. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan really refined the third-level top-grade elixir, the Concentration Pill.
Although the concentration pill cannot increase its cultivation level and is slightly worse than the top-grade Peiyuan Pill, it is also quite powerful to improve the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan stage cultivator. After all, whether it is an alchemist, a weapon refiner, a talisman maker, or an ordinary cultivator, they all have high requirements for spiritual consciousness. For cultivators, spiritual consciousness is the most important thing second only to cultivation.
Among the third-level elixirs, any elixir that can improve the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan stage monks can be classified as the top-grade category. As for the medicine that can be used as a medicine for the Peiying Pill, let alone, a monk knows the importance of the Peiying Pill to the Jindan stage monks. Among all the alchemists present in the eight major families who participated in the Shang League competition, Zhang Yan was the only one who was sure to refine the Peiying Pill.
Master Ouyang was also very moved. Zhang Yan's talent and alchemy level are indeed rare in the world. Moreover, she has already cultivated the Golden Elixir in the late stage. As long as she can successfully form a baby, she will surely be able to quickly enter the ranks of fourth-level alchemists and become an existence at the same level as her.
He took a deep breath and said with a little respect: "Yeah, you go down and rest first! When the competition time comes, I will announce the final ranking of the eight major families of this Shang League Alchemy Branch!"
A hint of joy flashed through Zhang Yan's beautiful eyes. In her opinion, the champion was almost certain to win this championship. Even if Jiang Chen could refine ordinary Peiyuan Pills, he would not be as good as himself. Unless he could refine the top-grade Peiyuan Pills.
But is the top-grade Peiyuan Pill really that easy to refine? Even she herself is not sure.
Huang Xiuli and Yue Feng in the Yue family seat were both holding their hands tightly, and their palms were sweating a little. This was related to the fate of the Yue family!
At this moment, countless gazes in the hall were almost all aimed at Jiang Chen, who was still busy, looking forward to his final result. Now there is not much time to end.
"Hmph! I don't believe it. He can really create miracles!" Zhang Hongbao glanced at Jiang Chen with cold eyes. Looking at his flowing refining action, a hint of surprise and solemnity finally flashed through his eyes.
Judging from the opponent's sudden strength in aura and spiritual pressure, and his calm demeanor, he seemed not only not to be depressed by the last failure, but instead he had made a breakthrough in confidence and realm in this desperate situation. This kind of concentration is really terrible.
"It seems that Jiang Chen is indeed a bit of a trick. The Heavenly Demon Sect is not a sect that is good at alchemy. However, judging from Jiang Chen's performance, it is extremely outstanding. Judging from his performance, it is obviously much better than my elder brother." Zhang Yi also half-closed his pretty eyes, blinked his eyelashes slightly, and thought to himself.
At this time, Jiang Chen's refining of the Yuan Pei Pill has reached its last step, and success or failure is here. (To be continued...)
