As expected, when the alchemy session was only halfway through, and some Elixir Furnaces hadn’t even emitted a pill fragrance yet, a series of explosion sounds were heard. Several Elixir Furnaces burst one after another, and those Pill Masters refining the pills suffered terribly. Some were slightly better off with ash-covered faces, while others were even scratched by the fragmented pieces of the furnaces and had to step down for bandaging and treatment. Feng Chuo’s Elixir Furnace had already begun to emit a faint pill fragrance. "Good lad, he knows to add Seven Refinement Grass Seeds to the Five-flavor Medicine to neutralize the attributes of the various herbal medicines. He is indeed talented," Yue Jinghua casually refined her pills. She had refined True Dark Pills at least a hundred times and could do it with her toes if needed. Thus, she started to pay some attention to Feng Chuo’s alchemy process. Upon closer observation, Yue Jinghua realized that Feng Chuo was quite skilled indeed. He didn’t have high-quality Alchemy Fire or a good Elixir Furnace, but his understanding of herbal medicine surpassed that of any Pill Master present, as if he were born for the role of a Pill Master. In just a quarter of an hour, he had found a sixth herbal ingredient that suppressed the medicinal properties without affecting them, based on the medicinal properties of the five ingredients used to refine the True Dark Pill. Daring to tamper with the established alchemy recipe, this person is truly audacious. Lady Yao and Lie Sisi also seemed to share this view. Yue Jinghua noticed that Lie Sisi’s gaze was unkind. Her lips twitched as if she was chanting something, her hand quickly throwing something into the Golden Toad Tripod. Suddenly, a strange fluctuation emanated from within the tripod. Yue Jinghua’s expression became grim as she felt a fluctuation that was similar to a Dark Beast’s spiritual power. Most people at the scene hadn’t specifically cultivated their spiritual power, so they didn’t have any unusual reactions. Fa Xiaoyi’s eyebrows raised slightly. Seeing that the spiritual fluctuation was coming from Lie Sisi’s direction, he remained impassive. "Boom," with a loud noise, another Elixir Furnace shattered. The ash from the furnace rose, obscuring the sight of the crowd. But this didn’t hide anything from Yue Jinghua’s superior Divine Sense, which could see through the layers of smoke. She saw the Golden Toad Tripod undergoing a transformation. The previously still Golden Toad Tripod within the Elixir Fire Array had turned into a golden toad with swollen eyes. That golden toad was ugly, covered in poison warts all over its body, and from its wide mouth, a red tongue flickered in and out. With a "swoosh" sound, that red tongue sprang out like a spring, targeting the Elixir Furnace in front of Feng Chuo. Spiritual-grade Elixir Pills, before becoming pills, must exude Elixir Energy. The richer the Elixir Energy, the higher quality the Elixir Pills. Within the Elixir Furnace, the group of faintly visible Elixir Energy had just formed when it was devoured bite by bite by the golden toad. Soon after, several groups of Elixir Energy without exception were all swallowed into the toad’s belly. The pill fragrance gradually dissipated, and Feng Chuo, standing in front of the Elixir Furnace, also felt that something was off but couldn’t pinpoint the exact problem, a sweat breaking out on the tip of his nose. Lie Sisi gave a cold laugh, chanted something else, and suddenly, the red tongue from the mouth of the gold toad swiftly coiled towards Feng Chuo’s neck. "Indeed, a venomous woman she is, sabotaging the pill-making is not enough, she even aims for lives," Yue Jinghua snorted as the Nanhuang Ring on her finger gleamed. The Spiritual Attack - Divine Stab had already been launched, and dozens of invisible spiritual darts silently struck the golden toad. Hissss---The golden toad felt a sharp pain in its red tongue and immediately retreated back into the golden tripod. Lie Sisi only felt her Divine Sense waver, causing her to stagger backward involuntarily, and within the Elixir Fire Array, the Alchemy Fire became unstable and extinguished immediately. "The pills are ready, open the tripod to check," commanded Lady Yao as everyone halted their actions. Lie Sisi glanced around the crowd but noticed nothing unusual; she couldn’t figure out who had attacked her just now. "Out of sixty participants, twenty-three had their Elixir Furnace crack, twenty-four gave up midway, and the one who succeeded in making Elixir Pills is Feng Chuo, no, these are waste pills," Feng Chuo was the first to open his furnace, only to find that all ten pills inside were ineffective waste pills. "How could they be waste pills, this is impossible," Feng Chuo murmured to himself, his face pale, staring blankly at the few waste pills. It wasn’t that he couldn’t handle failure, but he was not supposed to fail here. Before leaving the village, he had promised the children that he would definitely bring back money to repair the school. Now, it’s all gone. Seeing Feng Chuo’s miserable appearance, a sinister smile formed on Lie Sisi’s lips. However, her smile faded when she opened her own Elixir Furnace, "Lie Sisi, six True Dark Pills, a pill success rate of 60%." It must have been the disturbance from the golden toad that affected the alchemy, Lie Sisi bit her lip, thinking darkly, but then again, even if she only had a 60% rate, she still produced True Dark Pills, which was better than someone who produced waste pills. True Dark Pills are indeed difficult to concoct, thought Lady Yao and the others. Lie Sisi’s Alchemy Skill is quite remarkable; choosing her was indeed the right decision, Fa Xiaoyi also thought to himself. Almost no one noticed that in an inconspicuous corner of the Elixir Fire Array, someone was slowly opening an Elixir Furnace. With Yue Jinghua’s previous batch of pills only achieving a 60% success rate, everyone naturally assumed that she couldn’t possibly produce the lowest yield of True Dark Pills, or if she did, it couldn’t be enough to win against the previously victorious Lie Sisi. "This scent," due to the waste pills, Feng Chuo’s nose, which was naturally sensitive to various herbs and pills, began to itch, and he remembered any pill fragrance he had ever encountered. During the production of the True Dark Pills earlier, the nightclub’s Lady Yao had taken out a True Dark Pill, the scent of which was almost identical to the one he was smelling now. "Hey, don’t just look at their Elixir Pills; I’ve got a batch here too, why don’t you have a look?" Feng Chuo looked over to the corner, where a girl was leaning against the Elixir Furnace, her face flushed red, grinning. "Your Elixir Pills," everyone found it amusing, with only a 60% success rate, it would take a miracle for... But as Yue Jinghua completely opened her Elixir Furnace, the expression of Lady Yao changed dramatically.
