Furnace Explosion
In the Taisui Sword Faction, Xia Qinfan looked worried. She said to the Grand Elder beside her, "Elder, Pill Master Zhuo is only a Profound Grade Alchemist. I'm afraid he can't refine Eternal Grade Divine Pills. The second round is very disadvantageous for him."
The Grand Elder comforted her, "Young Miss, you don't have to worry too much. The failure rate of an Eternal Grade Alchemist refining an Eternal Grade Divine Pill is very high. I think that most of the Eternal Grade Alchemists will choose to refine a Profound Grade Divine Pill this time.
"Moreover, Pill Master Zhuo is not an ordinary person. Although he is only a Profound Grade Alchemist, he was able to obtain first place in the first round. His level of alchemy is definitely very high. Even if he can only refine Profound Grade Divine Pills, the Profound Grade Divine Pills he refines will not be ordinary."
"I think Pill Master Zhuo will have no problem entering the top 05 of the Pill Competition."
Xia Qinfan nodded, but she was still worried. After all, Zhuowen was the lowest level among the 855 alchemists.
Even if Zhuowen's performance in the first round was very eye-catching, it did not mean that his alchemy was also very good.
Jiang Mo was gloating. He could not wait for Zhuowen to be eliminated in the second round.
In the Thunder God Garden's team, Lei Zixuan's mood was very complicated.
After learning that Zhuowen had obtained first place in the first round, the shock in her heart was beyond imagination. At the same time, there was a trace of regret in her heart.
In the past, Zhuowen was a guest alchemist of the Thunder God Garden. He represented the Thunder God Garden to participate in the Pill Competition.
However, because they were greedy and coveted Zhuowen's secrets, they completely broke off their relationship with Zhuowen.
Originally, they didn't pay much attention to Zhuo Wen's Alchemy Dao level. They thought that Zhuo Wen was only a Master of Heaven's Mandate. Even if he participated in the Pill Grand Assembly, he would only be a dispensable character who went through the motions.
However, Zhuowen's performance in the first round shocked Lei Zixuan. He was much stronger than the strongest alchemist in the Thunder God Garden, Lin Xiye.
Lei Zixuan could not help but think that if the Thunder God Garden had not broken off their relationship with Zhuowen.
Perhaps the glory this time would no longer belong to the Taisui Sword Faction, but to their Thunder God Park.
"This Zhuowen is really shameless. Back then, he represented our Thunder God Garden to participate in the Pill Tempering Grand Assembly. Now that he has reappeared, he went back on his words and actually went to help the Taisui Sword Faction. What an ungrateful person."
Among the Thunder God Garden's group, some cultivators muttered softly, feeling rather ashamed of Zhuowen.
Lei Zixuan didn't stop these rumors from spreading. Instead, her beautiful eyes landed on Zhuowen as she thought to herself, "No matter how strong this Zhuowen is, he's only a Xuanji grade divine pill. Among the three hundred alchemists, he's at the bottom."
"Alchemy isn't about purifying medicinal ingredients. In this round, this Zhuowen will definitely be eliminated!"
Lei Zixuan was very unwilling to let Zhuowen continue to be in the limelight. After all, if this Zhuowen obtained the top fifty in this Pill Tempering Grand Assembly, it would undoubtedly be a ruthless slap to the Thunder God Garden's face.
After all, this Zhuowen was just an abandoned child that the Thunder God Garden had casually abandoned. Now, he had actually risen up and was in the limelight in the Pill Tempering Grand Assembly. Didn't this prove that the Thunder God Garden had eyes but failed to see?
Huangji Family's Huangwu's expression was also ugly. Even he did not expect that Zhuowen would be able to obtain such a dazzling result in the first round.
After all, the more attention Zhuowen attracted, the harder it was for him to make a move.
Bang!
At this moment, an explosion suddenly resounded in the square. One of the alchemists among the three hundred alchemists had his furnace exploded, and his face was covered in dust.
This alchemist had an unlucky look on his face. However, he quickly adjusted his state of mind and took out some divine herbs to refine another divine pill.
In the next period of time, the sound of furnaces exploding rose and fell, and many of them occurred.
Bang!
The sound of another furnace exploding rang out, and it attracted the attention of many people. Soon after, everyone was surprised to find that the main character of this furnace explosion was actually Zhuowen, who had been in the limelight in the first round.
Some of the alchemists who originally disliked Zhuo Wen revealed gloating expressions when they saw Zhuo Wen's cauldron exploding.
Zhuowen frowned slightly as he looked at the imperial pill furnace in front of him that was emitting black smoke, and his eyes revealed a pondering expression.
It had to be said that the difficulty of refining the Heavenly Soul Marrow Cleansing Divine Pill was indeed very high. This was somewhat beyond Zhuowen's expectations.
After studying the mysterious alchemy book, once Zhuowen advanced to a corresponding level in alchemy, it was very rare for him to fail when refining a divine pill of a corresponding level.
However, now that he was already a Profound Grade alchemist, he actually failed on his first try to refine the Heavenly Soul Marrow Cleansing Divine Pill.
After failing, Zhuowen did not immediately start refining. Instead, he stood on the spot and pondered, summarizing the specific reasons for his failure.
After a while, Zhuowen opened the furnace again to refine the pill.
This time, his refining process was extremely slow, and every step was taken with extreme caution.
The purification process was very smooth, and the next step was to put the medicinal liquid into the furnace to refine the pill. Just as the pill was about to be formed, Zhuowen's expression changed greatly, and the imperial pill furnace trembled violently.
Bang!
Zhuowen's furnace exploded again.
This time, it was not only the alchemists in the surroundings, but even the spectating cultivators in the square revealed obvious gloating expressions.
In the Taisui Sword Sect's team, Xia Qinfan frowned slightly and sighed in her heart.
The Grand Elder also let out a long sigh, and hurriedly comforted Xia Qinfan, "Young Miss, Alchemist Zhuo still has one last chance. As long as he can successfully refine this last pill, he still has a chance to enter the top 05."
Xia Qinfan nodded, but the worry between her brows deepened.
This time, Zhuowen stood on the spot, not moving at all, as if he had been petrified.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhuowen must have been struck dumb by the two failures. The alchemists in the square whistled at Zhuowen, expressing their disdain and contempt for Zhuowen.
On the judging panel on the square's main altar, Huan Taiping's gaze also fell on Zhuowen's side.
Looking at the residue of Zhuowen's failed pill furnace, Huan Taiping's eyes narrowed slightly. He had some guesses in his heart, and he had even more expectations for Zhuowen.
Time slowly passed, and Zhuowen still stood on the spot, deep in thought.
At this moment, alchemists finished refining one after another.
The alchemists who finished refining all calmly sat on the spot, quietly waiting for the other alchemists to finish.
As time passed, more and more alchemists finished the second round.
Of course, during this period of time, furnace explosions still occurred. Among them, many alchemists who failed three times and were eliminated, leaving the square in disappointment.
Zhuowen still stood on the spot, not moving at all. He still had not started his third refinement.
At this moment, there were only a few alchemists who were still refining pills. Zhuowen, who was still standing on the spot, was like a crane among chickens.
