Chapter 793: Chapter 328: Contest of Foundations, Pure Confrontation! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1
Within the vast Pill Refinement Hall.
Two Second Order Pill Refiners are fully focused on refining the Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill.
One of them appears serious but calm.
The other is completely engrossed, yet his twitching eyebrows reveal an inner anxiety.
The surrounding observers maintain a respectful silence, not daring to disturb them.
Although it seems quiet.
In reality, many are secretly communicating with each other via Spirit Consciousness.
With Luo Chen’s powerful Divine Soul, even if he’s not intentionally eavesdropping, he could clearly hear some conversations from those at the early or middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Tsk tsk, Yi Sheng has been overseeing Yuanzhao Kingdom for ten years, yet his Pill Refinement Technique hasn’t declined at all!”
“It’s not just sustained, look at his application of the Simplicity Hand, calm and skillful.”
“You’re right. If I had to process this Cliff Chrysanthemum, I might not be able to achieve such a target.”
“What about Tao Yichen?”
“It won’t work, he’s too rigid!”
“He’s meticulous, fearing he’d ruin the herbs, yet he missed the best opportunity for medicine fusion.”
“In my view, Tao Yichen’s Pill Refinement Technique, compared to Yi Sheng, is already a level behind!”
“The key part here, is to watch how they handle this five-colored chrysanthemum!”
…
The Pill Refinement competition is still ongoing under high pressure.
Having only watched for a while, Luo Chen unintentionally started to frown.
“Is this Tao Yichen really considered a Second Order Pill Refiner?”
He was quite surprised!
The other party’s skill level was shockingly low.
Could it be that because of his indulgence in worldly matters, his Pill Refinement skill has drastically declined?
But that doesn’t add up!
When Tao Yisheng was discussing with him before, he seemed knowledgeable.
But when it came to actual operation, there were countless mistakes.
From this, it would seem that Qingdan Valley’s evaluation of Second Order Pill Refiners is extremely lenient?
His gaze shifted to other eager Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, and Luo Chen started to ponder.
“Perhaps it’s not that they’re too weak, but that I’m too strong?”
That’s right!
In the eyes of the world.
Those Pill Refiners who occasionally refine one or two Second Order Pills, are considered Second Order Pill Refiners.
Like Qing Yuanzi, who, relying on his Pill Cultivation Technique, managed to nourish a Third Order Pill by luck and claimed himself to be a Third Order Pill Refiner.
When compared to these so-called “Second Order Pill Refiners”,
Luo Chen’s Pill Refinement Technique, on the other hand, was honed from refining thousands upon thousands of successful pills.
Even when it comes to Second Order Pills!
He has refined at least two or three thousand of them!
Most of which were the most difficult to refine – Ascendant Grade and Top Grade Pills.
In comparison, the rest are naturally not comparable to him.
“Of course, there is always someone better. There’s always a higher mountain. For example, the Tao family’s alchemists cannot even rank within Qingdan Valley, let alone receiving bestowed titles.”
“It can be inferred that the Qingdan Seven Sons must be truly talented.”
“I must not underestimate the other heroes in the world!”
After reflecting, he subconsciously shook his head.
At present, he can multitask three things at once due to his “Ming God’s Divine Cleanse” reaching the finalization stage.
Despite his many thoughts earlier,
He had still left part of his attention on the two competitors.
Therefore, he had a detailed understanding of the progress of the Colorful Chrysanthemum Pill’s refining process.
Tao Wen, who was next to him, noticed.
Curiosity led her to ask via Spirit Consciousness, “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”
Luo Chen replied calmly, “They’re about to fail.”
“Who?”
“Both of them.”
Upon hearing this, Tao Wen couldn’t help but look doubtful.
She was no expert alchemist.
But having grown up in a Pill Refinement Great Sect, she had some knowledge of pill making judgement.
“Tao Yichen may fail, but my little brother’s every step has been perfect, a clear sign of imminent success!”
Not just her.
The other Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the field, those with discernment, had already noticed the vast disparity between Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen’s alchemy skills.
Particularly on the side of the Clan Chief Tao Daonan.
Many showed signs of fear.
Even more were secretly communicating, sending messages to Tao Daonan.
Despite Tao Daonan’s grim expression, he remained calm and did not interfere.
The pill refinement continued.
Moments later.
A crisp explosion emerged from the bronze tripod.
All eyes were drawn to it, landing on Tao Yichen’s pale, bloodless face.
“I…failed.”
A mutter, his body seemed to tremble.
“Sigh…”
A sigh escaped from Tao Daonan.
He did not blame him.
Originally, Tao Yichen had a bit of talent in the Dao of Alchemy, not only having passed Qingdan Valley’s theoretical exams but also made a Second Order Pill by luck.
But later, he thought the task of Pill Refining was too repetitive, numbing, and impeded his cultivation, so he gave up further progress.
He put his energy into handling the internal affairs of the Tao family instead.
If he had been decisive back then and forced him to continue studying the Pill Refinement Technique,
Would he be in such a miserable state today?
Shaking his head, he turned his gaze to Tao Yisheng.
“Could it be…he could actually succeed in one try?”
All the spectators, including the failed Tao Yichen, turned their attention to Tao Yisheng.
If this were in the past, under the scrutiny of the public, he might have panicked.
His Pill Technique might have faltered.
But during that year when he was in Luo Tian Creed’s Pill Hall, with Qu Lingjun and Mili frequently around him during usual pill refinements,
He had already become accustomed to being watched.
Even when refining a simple First Order Pill, he could still divide his attention to give pointers.
At this moment, he was under everyone’s watch.
