Chapter 219: Guess Comes True
“Ha ha ha, Chief Yao, how can you prove that he is the alchemist of your Treasure Gathering Pavilion?”
When Yao Changsheng spoke with a hint of arrogance, Vice President Ouyang’s mouth also curled up into a smile.
Yao Changsheng replied matter-of-factly, “He was brought by Feng Qingya, and since Feng Qingya can invite him, he must be a registered alchemist of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. What’s there to doubt?”
Yao Changsheng’s tone was still filled with confidence.
He and Vice President Ouyang, who was facing him, were both only fifth-grade alchemists.
Vice President Ouyang’s alchemy skills were slightly stronger than his, which he had to admit.
However, both of them were already old and had only just begun to sense the existence of their Dan Heart.
Compared to Su Jingzhen in front of them, they knew that their future achievements would be insignificant.
Talents like this were naturally worth absorbing.
Perhaps one day, this would represent the glory of a powerful faction.When Yao Changsheng spoke, Vice President Ouyang’s mouth curled up into a smile again.
“Did you think that the Dantai clan, who had dominated Qingzhou for many years, was also registered under your Treasure Gathering Pavilion?”
As soon as Vice President Ouyang spoke, the smile on Yao Changsheng’s face suddenly froze.
He had only thought about Su Jingzhen being brought by Feng Qingya.
But he had subconsciously forgotten that they had already confirmed that Xuening was a descendant of Dantai Mingjing.
Xuening was a descendant of Dantai Mingjing, so what about Su Jingzhen, who was assisting Xuening?
Thinking of this, Yao Changsheng’s heart suddenly felt a bit anxious.
If Su Jingzhen and Xuening hadn’t registered yet, did his Treasure Gathering Pavilion really have any competitive power in the alchemy world?
Seeing Yao Changsheng start to worry, Vice President Ouyang laughed again.
“Haha, Chief Yao, there’s no need to be so anxious. Everything will be clear after this alchemist conference is over, right? We’re just speculating here, but they have Dantai Mingjing’s guidance, so who knows if they’ll even look down on us two families?”
He paused and then said, “However, Chief Yao, can you see what kind of Dan Heart Su Jingzhen has sensed?”
Yao Changsheng shook his head again. “He should have only just begun to sense it and can’t be seen yet. Maybe we’ll know more after getting to know him better.”
As Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang were discussing this, Su Jingzhen on the stage was in a state of alchemy, his face extremely calm, his movements smooth and natural.
At this time, he seemed to have gained more confidence than before.
He also had an inexplicable charm that ordinary people couldn’t understand.
His speed of alchemy did not increase, and he was almost in a synchronized state with Xuening.
“Although I know they’re refining a second-grade pill, this technique seems even more fluid than refining a third-grade pill.”
“This time, no matter the result, these two will likely be sought after by Spirit Sound Valley, Lingxiu Pavilion, and even the Flowing Wind Sword Sect.”
“……”
To all the onlookers, it seemed like Su Jingzhen and Xuening were promoting themselves, and this wave of promotion was extremely successful.
After half an hour, Su Jingzhen’s Breaking Through Adversity Pill in the Black Mountain furnace had finally taken shape.
At this time, his face was extremely calm, as he controlled the pill and the flames.
At a certain moment, he suddenly slapped the furnace, and the perfectly round Breaking Through Adversity Pill flew out.
“Whoa!”
Su Jingzhen stretched out his hand and caught it, then put it away in a jade bottle, letting out a sigh of relief.
He had just broken through to the Flesh Body Golden Embryo stage and had refined an pill with ease.
At this time, his state was unprecedentedly good.
“It’s just as I expected!”
Su Jingzhen’s heart was extremely excited, but his face remained calm.
He turned to look at Xuening beside him.
Xuening had just finished, and she was frowning as she was looking at the Breaking Through Adversity Pill in her hand.
Because Xuening’s Breaking Through Adversity Pill had only reached the top-grade level.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s gaze, Xuening let out a sigh: “Brother Su, I failed.”
Before Xuening could say more, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up into a smile.
“This time, I’ve got it.”
Xuening’s eyes showed some doubt, and then she saw the extinguished furnace fire in the Black Mountain furnace.
She suddenly felt a flash of surprise.
“Brother Su, did you… did you succeed?” she asked softly.
Su Jingzhen nodded lightly.
“Brother Su, you always bring me surprises like this.”
At this time, Xuening’s smile was like a blooming flower.
As her words fell, Su Jingzhen’s eyes flashed with golden characters again.
【Emotional Connection+4】
【Emotional Connection+4】
【Remaining usable points: 28】
She knew very well what it meant to refine a superior-grade pill.
Even if Su Jingzhen’s success was just a coincidence, it was enough to shock people.
And she was extremely certain that Su Jingzhen shouldn’t have reached this level initially.
“Brother Su, did you… did you sense the Dan Heart?”
Xuening asked after thinking for a moment.
When Su Jingzhen heard this, his eyes showed a hint of confusion.
“Dan Heart? Does my sudden enlightenment before and the desire to control the pill count?”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, then shook his head: “I had some enlightenment earlier, so I was able to refine that Breaking Through Adversity Pill with ease. But Dan Heart is still a mystery, and I probably haven’t reached it yet.”
Xuening nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
The two of them then waited silently on the stage.
The two-hour time limit soon arrived, and Ye Zhiqiu, Bai Xiu, and others had also refined their second pill.
Many people’s faces showed a hint of confidence again.
It was clear that they were very confident in this second round.
Xuening placed the top-grade Rebirth Pill in a jade bottle and wrote down the pill’s introduction.
The second round’s fifty alchemist teams were still standing on the stage.
The Feng family’s servants soon took away the pills refined by each team and sent them to the judging table.
As for the pills refined by each clan in the second round, Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang had been expecting them for a long time.
Just like in the first round, they would appraise the pill’s grade whenever they picked one up.
Then, they would scrape off a bit of powder to test the pill.
This time, without exception, all the second-grade alchemists were eliminated.
However, when eliminating them, both Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang would give the alchemists some feedback and guidance.
Among the remaining thirty-five third-grade alchemists, some had only refined lower-grade pills.
Naturally, they were also eliminated without exception.
However, among all the third-grade alchemists on the stage, only six had refined lower-grade pills.
And the remaining twenty-nine pills had all reached middle-grade quality.
Middle-grade quality was already enough to rank high in the first round.
It seemed that most people had been hiding their skills in the first round.
Xuening’s expression became serious.
“There shouldn’t be more than ten top-grade pills…”
