The first volume debuts Chapter 102 Level 4 Alchemy Conference
After watching the Level 3 Alchemy Conference, Chen Qing naturally moved into Li Xuanfeng's house, chose a room on the second floor, and directly drove Li Xuanfeng down from the second floor, occupying the entire second floor alone!
Li Xuanfeng exchanged a glance with Jiang Liu with a wry smile, and had to find a new room on the first floor. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, she is just my protector, her status should be lower than mine, why does she act like she is the master.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could do nothing about it. After all, his cultivation was far inferior to hers.
Three days later, the fourth-level alchemy conference began, which completely aroused Li Xuanfeng's interest. As soon as he started watching, Li Xuanfeng discovered the difference between the fourth-level alchemists and the third-level alchemists in refining pills!
Li Xuanfeng finally understood why the fourth level was considered a major barrier among alchemists, blocking the path of countless alchemists. Above the fourth level were the elders with high status, while below the fourth level were just ordinary alchemists.
To refine a fourth-level elixir, one needs to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to integrate it into the elixir. This sounds simple, but is extremely difficult to do!
To refine pills below level four, one only needs to use the spiritual power in one's body to integrate it into the pills, which is easier to control.
The power of heaven and earth is different. The power of heaven and earth does not belong to oneself, and mobilizing it is not an easy matter. One needs to reach a certain level of cultivation before being able to barely mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and integrating it into elixir is even more difficult!
Moreover, the power of heaven and earth is far less stable than the spiritual power in one's body. If one loses control when integrating it into the elixir, it will cause an extremely powerful explosion!
Mobilizing the power of heaven and earth is a way of fighting often used by strong people in the Spirit Infant Realm. Because of this, the combat power of the Spirit Infant Realm far exceeds that of the Spirit Pill Realm!
No matter how strong the spiritual power in your body is, can it be stronger than the spiritual power between heaven and earth? The answer is of course no!
When entering the Spirit Infant Realm, a Spirit Infant is born in the body, which can mobilize the spiritual power between heaven and earth for use in battle. The stronger the Spirit Infant is, the stronger the ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth will be.
The combat power of the Spirit Infant Realm is incomparable to that of the Spirit Pill Realm. Even an ordinary Spirit Infant Realm in the early stage can easily crush dozens of Spirit Pill Perfected Realms!
This means that as the level of cultivation improves, the gap between each realm continues to widen, creating a chasm that ordinary cultivators simply cannot cross!
The scene of the fourth-level alchemy conference was far more shocking than that of the second and third-level alchemy conferences, and the people watching had already covered the entire opposite side of the central attic, even reaching a crowded scene of people jostling each other.
There were not many people participating in the Level 4 Alchemy Conference, only thirty people, almost all of whom were elders of the Alchemy Alliance, and only two of them came from outside Danling City.
The fourth level alchemy conference is completely different from the second and third levels. It requires refining three kinds of elixirs. Each elixir has three times of refining materials and takes up to six days. There is no alchemy furnace on the alchemy table, and everyone needs to use their own alchemy furnace for refining.
Although this will give alchemists with extremely high-quality furnaces an advantage, there are too many variables in the refining of level-four pills, and a single furnace cannot make the difference. Moreover, because level-four furnaces are too precious, it is too difficult to find dozens of identical furnaces. Even the financially powerful Alchemy Alliance is helpless!
The three kinds of elixirs that need to be refined are of four levels, namely upper, middle and lower grades. In the end, the winner is the one who refines the highest quantity and quality of the three kinds of elixirs.
The medium-level elixirs among them have never appeared before. They are elixirs that have never been announced in the collection of the Alchemy Alliance. Because none of the thirty alchemists participating in the alchemy conference have ever made them, a pill recipe is also provided for reference!
This is a rule that has never appeared in previous Level 4 Alchemy Conferences! This increases the difficulty of refining!
When seeing this recipe, many of the thirty alchemy masters changed their expressions. There was a high failure rate when refining a pill that had never been tried before, which would affect their own refining results! Fortunately, no one had ever refined a pill before, so they were all at the same starting line.
However, there were also some extremely confident alchemists whose eyes flashed with excitement when they saw this recipe. They were addicted to elixirs and were very interested in recipes they had never seen .
The fourth-level alchemy conference is held on the fourth floor of the central attic. There are only dozens of alchemy platforms here, and they are far apart. This is to prevent alchemists from affecting other alchemists when mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.
After removing the impurities from the herbs and putting them into the alchemy furnace, these thirty fourth-level alchemists released their powerful spiritual awareness and waved their hands rapidly. The spiritual power between heaven and earth was instantly mobilized and flowed into the alchemy furnace!
The formation of the attic only prevents attacks from external objects or spells, and does not block the spiritual power between heaven and earth. Therefore, at this moment, the entire fourth floor seems to have turned into a black hole, and spiritual power is constantly attracted.
Because thirty people mobilized their spiritual power at the same time, a large amount of spiritual power gathered around the fourth floor, and the concentration instantly increased dozens of times. The rich spiritual power produced a gentle glow due to the sunlight, and the spiritual power seemed to become a physical object, and as it was infused, a magnificent scene like a river flowing into the sea was created.
Level four is a qualitative change for alchemists. Although the range of the power of heaven and earth that the Spirit Infant Realm can mobilize is not large, it is still far stronger than the spiritual power in the human body!
Therefore, the pills refined by the fourth-level alchemist are much stronger than those made by the third-level alchemist, just like the combat power of the Spirit Infant Realm is incomparable to that of the Spirit Pill Realm.
There were a large number of alchemists among the audience outside the attic, their eyes fixed on the refining of the fourth-level alchemist elder, afraid of missing even a detail. They hoped that they could gain insights from it, improve their alchemy level, and become elder-level alchemists like those in the current alchemy conference.
However, to be promoted to a fourth-level alchemist, not only does one need strong alchemy qualifications, but one also needs a large amount of resources to purchase herbs and make countless attempts. It is not possible to succeed by just watching the fourth-level alchemy conference.
However, it would be beneficial to observe and see the refining process of the fourth-level elixir in advance. It might help you avoid detours and shorten the time required to become a fourth-level alchemist.
The thirty fourth-level alchemists first refined inferior elixirs, which took a short time to refine and had a high success rate. It also allowed them to practice and become more proficient in refining medium and superior elixirs later.
Because the refining of fourth-level elixirs requires the integration of the power of heaven and earth, it is very easy for the furnace to explode due to unstable control. At this time, violent explosions were heard from the furnaces of several people. Fortunately, the furnaces used were extremely sturdy and did not explode.
A day passed quickly, and the refining of the lower-grade pills was basically completed. The results were mixed. There were top fourth-level alchemists who refined two or three high-quality pills, while there were also those who had just been promoted and only refined one pill due to two furnace explosions caused by unstable control.
Since they had never refined middle-grade elixirs before, the next thing they chose to do was to refine top-grade elixirs. However, top-grade elixirs are extremely difficult to refine, and being able to refine one is already considered a good result. There are even more people who have failed to refine a single elixir even after the furnace exploded three times.
The spiritual power they mobilized to refine the top-grade elixir was even more powerful, and it directly drained the spiritual power near the central attic! It was not until a few breaths after the refining was completed that the spiritual power returned to normal in the natural flow!
A middle-aged man with ordinary looks was able to refine two top-grade and one mid-grade pills, and even made three top-grade pills from low-grade pills. Countless spectators were amazed. It seemed that this man would be the winner of this Level 4 Alchemy Conference.
The time to refine a fourth-grade superior elixir is much longer than that of a lower-grade elixir. This time it took three days to refine all of them, and four days had already passed since the alchemy conference.
Refining the fourth-grade elixir requires controlling the power of heaven and earth, which consumes a lot of one's own spiritual power. In the process of refining the lower and higher-grade elixirs, many people have sat cross-legged many times to recover their spiritual power. Only this middle-aged man recovered his spiritual power for the first time after refining the higher-grade elixir.
After everyone recovered their spiritual power, they did not rush to start refining, but carefully checked the recipe. There was no chance to try at the alchemy conference, and there were only three chances to refine. If the refining failed due to their own negligence, it would be a real loss.
After checking the pill formula, thirty people began to refine this last pill one after another. It can be clearly seen that this refining process did not have the proficiency of the previous two times.
Although the elixir being refined this time was of medium quality, the failure rate was even higher than that of refining high-quality elixirs because it had never been refined before. The sound of furnace exploding was heard one after another, and the alchemist whose furnace exploded could only pour out the residue bitterly and refine it again.
The last two days passed quickly, and in the end, the middle-aged man had the best results, successfully refining two pills, but they were only one top-grade and one mid-grade, which was not as good as the results of refining top-grade pills. It can be seen that the influence of pills that have never been refined on the refining results is great.
The result was undoubtedly that this middle-aged man with ordinary looks won and was rewarded with a level five alchemy furnace, making the other alchemists and spectators envious!
When the results were announced, Li Xuanfeng also learned the name of the middle-aged man, Shen Jian!
