Chapter 237: The Unblemished Dan Heart
It was not yet noon.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening had prepared four batches of medicinal materials, but only the last batch remained.
The first time they tried, Xuening had fused fifteen types of medicinal materials.
The second time, she had only fused ten types, but failed to control the temperature, causing all the medicinal materials to turn into a pile of waste.
The third time, she had made progress, reaching twenty types!
She was still the one who had fused the most medicinal materials on the scene.
Even Ye Zhiqiu, a fourth-rank Alchemist, had only managed to fuse around ten types after two attempts.
Looking at the last batch of medicinal materials on the table and the last Breaking Through Adversity Pill that Su Jingzhen had just refined, Xuening’s expression turned somewhat solemn.
But the next moment, she directly extinguished the flames in the Black Mountain pill furnace.
Then, she took out the ordinary pill furnace she had been using in the previous two rounds.“Brother Su, I want to try using this pill furnace.”
“The Black Mountain pill furnace’s array is very intricate, and controlling the flames is very convenient, but it seems not to be suitable for me.”
“When I use the Black Mountain, I often feel a sense of dependence.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen was taken aback, but he didn’t ask any further questions.
No matter what Xuening chose, he would support her.
After all, these four batches of medicinal materials were meant for experimentation.
Of course, they should also try using different pill furnaces.
After igniting the flames in the ordinary pill furnace, Xuening entered a state of focus.
Su Jingzhen looked at her, his eyes complex and filled with anticipation.
As the flames in the pill furnace burned to their strongest.
Xuening, like before, directly threw the Breaking Through Adversity Pill into the furnace.
The subsequent steps were also unchanged.
She strictly followed the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill’s pill formula.
At this time, Xuening’s movements were as smooth as flowing clouds, extremely beautiful.
Her action of changing pill furnaces was also immediately noticed by everyone who was paying attention to her.
Regardless of whether they were alchemists or not, they were all puzzled by her action.
“What is this little girl doing?”
“Isn’t the black pill furnace of a much higher quality?”
“This is for refining a fourth-grade pill, and the pill furnace she’s using now is clearly not up to the task!”
“Interesting. Isn’t it said that it’s easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but hard to go from being extravagant to being frugal?”
“After using a good pill furnace, can she really use this broken one?”
“If it is to hone her alchemy skills, it is obviously not appropriate in the third round.”
“…”
The people from various forces surrounding the alchemy platform furrowed their brows.
The onlookers were even more stunned, and a heated discussion erupted.
Even Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang on the judging platform suddenly furrowed their brows.
“This Xuening girl’s every move is always beyond expectations.”
The two old men, Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang, simultaneously let out a sigh of amazement, and as they continued to observe, their expressions gradually turned solemn.
Even Yao Changsheng’s eyes showed a hint of shock.
“Could it be… that this little girl’s current demeanor, and the spiritual rhythm she’s displaying in her every move, is also a Dan Heart?”
Vice President Ouyang didn’t respond immediately, his gaze fixed on Xuening.
After a long time, he finally exclaimed, “It’s too similar! I’m seeing the shadow of the great Pill Master Dantai in this little girl.”
“Xuening’s current alchemy demeanor is completely pure and unadulterated.”
“It’s as if the heavens and earth are nothing to her, and only alchemy exists for her!”
“This… isn’t this the legendary Unblemished Dan Heart of Pill Master Dantai?”
If Su Jingzhen’s Dan Heart was about control, then it was about completely controlling the pill that he could suppress with his spiritual energy.
As a result, the pill he refined would reach the highest quality.
Moreover, the pill he could control would also have a 100% success rate!
On the other hand, the Unblemished Dan Heart was a pure alchemy attitude, or a state of extreme purity in alchemy.
Only an alchemist with absolute purity could sense this Dan Heart!
In an Unblemished state, Xuening might be able to challenge a pill that was higher than her own grade!
Genius martial artists could often fight beyond their level, and under the blessing of the Dan Heart, alchemists could also refine pills beyond their level!
Of course, the premise was that she had truly sensed this Dan Heart.
At this time, Su Jingzhen didn’t know Xuening’s specific state.
But he could sense that Xuening’s alchemy was much smoother than before.
She had already fused fifteen types of medicinal materials.
The ordinary pill furnace was already emitting a faint fragrance of pill.
Of course, this was still far from success.
After infusing fifteen types of medicinal materials, the pill suspended in the pill furnace flames was no longer a Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
The fifteen medicinal materials’ medicinal properties had already changed the entire medicinal formula.
Xuening’s face remained calm, her two jade-like hands constantly moving between the alchemy platform and the pill furnace.
Before long, the number of medicinal materials she had added had already reached twenty!
She was still leading the entire field!
The onlookers couldn’t help but quiet down, all wanting to see if a miracle would happen this time.
Su Jingzhen subconsciously walked to Xuening’s side, closely monitoring the situation in the furnace.
Xuening’s movements didn’t stop, and she smoothly added the medicinal materials to thirty!
The pill in the furnace, although still rough on the surface, had already taken shape.
The fragrance of the medicine emanating from it was becoming increasingly rich.
If Xuening could maintain this state, Su Jingzhen thought that adding the medicinal materials to forty wouldn’t be difficult.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu had just failed her third attempt at fusion.
She had only managed to reach twenty medicinal materials before failing.
Her gaze turned towards Xuening, her expression somewhat solemn.
‘They have already reached this point? It seems I’ve fallen behind.’
‘But I’ve also tried three times, and it’s time for me to get serious.’
Looking at Xuening’s progress, Ye Zhiqiu felt a sense of admiration, but she wasn’t worried.
After all, among the ten alchemy teams on the scene, only she was a genuine fourth-rank alchemist.
Ye Zhiqiu could accept being surpassed, but she was confident that with her abilities, entering the top three wouldn’t be difficult.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu didn’t immediately start her fourth attempt.
Her gaze remained fixed on Xuening, wanting to see how far she could go this time.
Another half-column of time passed, and Xuening had added the medicinal materials to forty!
Su Jingzhen’s heart was tense, this was the limit he had predicted Xuening could control.
After all, Xuening’s grade was only third-grade.
“Brother Su, help me!”
As the fortieth medicinal material, the juice of the rehmannia, was about to drip onto the rough pill in the furnace.
Before Su Jingzhen could ask, Xuening opened her mouth to ask for help.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate, directly taking the forty-first jade bottle from the alchemy platform.
After briefly sensing it, he confirmed that it contained the juice of the awakening flower, the fortieth medicinal material to be added.
He carefully controlled the liquid droplet, just like when they had cooperated before.
Slowly manipulating the dark green liquid droplet, he guided it towards the pill in front.
