Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 863 - 385: The End of the Third Match_2

The three individuals, whether in terms of controlling the flame or their cultivation, were fairly similar; hence, naturally, the time it took to complete the refinement was also nearly the same.

Almost immediately after each other, all three had completed the initial refinement of their ingredients.

After completing the initial refinement, the real alchemy began.

Once all three were prepared and had started the alchemy process, other participants gradually finished refining their ingredients.

After the refinement was completed, no one dared to delay further; they immediately placed the ingredients into the Pill Furnace and began crafting the elixirs.

...

...

The competitors were all in the same square, and although everyone’s position was protected by a small Formation,

having so many people conducting alchemy in the same area was bound to cause some interference.

Initially, when the alchemy began, the differences among the participants were not significant, and everyone looked competent.

But after some time, the gaps began to emerge.

Those positioned at the front appeared more stable, each methodically following their usual steps to craft the Elixir Medicine.

However, towards the back of the venue, some Pill Masters, whether due to nerves or something else, began to panic.

Not long after, with a loud "bang,"

someone failed to control the temperature and accidentally caused their furnace to explode.

The ingredients provided by the Alchemy Dao Assembly were limited to one batch per person; a furnace explosion meant elimination.

The Cultivator whose furnace had exploded stood frozen on the spot until after a while before he finally snapped out of it.

Then, a disciple from the Elixir Alliance, who had been prepared for such incidents, stepped forward and escorted him out of the competition venue.

That loud bang, as if it were a signal,

was followed by a few more explosions, with several more Cultivators causing their furnaces to explode during the process.

In just an hour, more than a dozen people had left the competition venue.

After all, it was an alchemy competition hosted by the Elixir Alliance, attracting most of the young, talented Pill Masters from the East Continent, so the competitors’ strength was naturally much stronger than that of other Pill Masters.

After these individuals had left, the situation quickly stabilized, and there were no more explosions.

Then, time continued to slowly pass...

During this process, some individuals encountered various issues that led to failed alchemy attempts and subsequently left the venue.

Until the first whiff of Elixir Fragrance emerged in the venue, by then, more than thirty people had left the venue, leaving over one hundred and sixty people remaining.

Once the Elixir Fragrance spread, people’s attention shifted toward the front, where the fragrance was emanating from.

That was the location of the Holy Maiden of Yunxian Sect, who had already completed crafting her concoction and was in the final steps of Solidifying the Pill.

Just as everyone redirected their focus, a similar scent of Elixir Fragrance emerged from the Pill Furnace of a Loose Cultivator adjacent to the Holy Maiden.

Simultaneously, the son of the Sect Master of Ziyun Pill Sect and the Loose Cultivator almost at the same moment finished crafting their Elixir Medicine and began the subsequent steps of Solidifying the Pill.

Some time after these three, others in the venue began to emit the Elixir Fragrance from their Pill Furnaces.

Lin Jing particularly noticed that Lin Jue and Changyun Yuanshuang were also beginning their Solidifying Pill steps at this time.

As the final moments approached, several Elders also focused their attention on the actions of every Pill Master in the competition.

Soon, before news of any completed pills could spread,

another participant failed to control the temperature, causing another explosion.

And at this critical moment, the explosion affected not just one person but everyone in the venue.

Even though there were Formations isolating the competition area, such a huge commotion still caused disturbances that affected others.

This, in fact, was intentional by the Elixir Alliance; they could use the Formations to minimize the impact of an explosion but did not completely isolate it.

It also served as a type of test.

If a slight disturbance could cause a Pill Master to fail in their alchemy, it meant the Pill Master’s mental state was still unstable and required further training.

Finally, after another dozen or so failures, the first batch of Elixir Medicine successfully came out of the furnace.

Needless to say, the first one to finish was the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect.

As the Pill Furnace opened, the Elixir Fragrance wafted out, soon spreading across the entire alchemy assembly venue.

When the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect extracted her Elixir Medicines, Lin Jing clearly saw that among them, at least three were of Supreme Grade.

Following the Holy Maiden, the Elixir Medicines crafted by the Loose Cultivator and the son of the Sect Master of Ziyun Pill Sect were also swiftly completed.

After these three, the Elixir Medicines of other participants were successively crafted.

During this period, a few people accidentally exploded their furnaces at the decisive moment, causing all their efforts to go to waste.

There were others who, upon inspecting the Elixir Medicine that emerged from the furnace, had a bitter expression on their faces.

Clearly, they had not succeeded in producing the designated Elixir Medicine; although their alchemy was successful, they were also eliminated.

All participants had finished their production, and the Elders were also prepared; then, under the indication of the Elixir Alliance Hierarch, the Formation was activated.

"Alright, it’s your turn now."

After the Formation was activated, the Elixir Alliance Hierarch said to several people.

After speaking, he looked at Lin Jing and spoke again:

"You should also take a look and evaluate."

Lin Jing nodded, "Yes, senior."

Then, Lin Jing and several Elders went to the venue.

Seeing them arrive, the Pill Masters in the venue hurriedly bowed:

"Greetings to the Elders!"

The Elders nodded and moved to the front, where the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect was.

Then, Elder Changyun, smiling gently, said to his Sect’s Holy Maiden:

"My dear niece..."

"Come, bring us the Elixir Medicine you just produced, let’s have a look."

Facing the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect, Elder Changyun’s tone was so gentle it was almost uncharacteristic compared to his usual demeanor, making Elder Li click his tongue in wonder.

However, Elder Changyun simply glanced at Elder Li and ignored him.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect took out a Jade Vial, handed it to Elder Changyun, and then her gaze swept over the Elders in front, pausing momentarily on Lin Jing.

Following...

The Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect shifted her gaze back to Elder Changyun and said:

"Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Master Changyun and the Elders."

"Not trouble at all, not at all..."

Elder Changyun said with a smile, and upon finishing, he immediately opened the Jade Vial and poured out several Elixir Pills.

Seeing the Elixir Medicine, the Elders immediately gathered around.

Upon seeing the Elixir Medicine, the Elders nodded in approval, and one of them couldn’t help but exclaim:

"One furnace, three Supreme Grade..."

"This quality, this color, truly extraordinary."

Hearing this, Elder Changyun looked as pleased as if he himself had been complimented, joyfully uttering:

"Since she started cultivating at a young age, my niece has shown great interest in the Alchemy Dao and, coupled with her good Alchemic Talent, producing this Elixir Medicine naturally isn’t difficult."

After speaking, he looked around and eventually spotted Lin Jing standing in the back, hurriedly waving to him:

"Lin, young brother, come here..."

"Come take a look and evaluate the Elixir Medicine my niece has produced."

At the moment when the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect took out the Elixir Medicine from the Pill Furnace, Lin Jing had already seen those three Supreme Grade Elixir Pills.

He knew that she would definitely pass this third competition.

Therefore,

When the Elders had gathered forward just now, Lin Jing had not joined them.

Initially, Lin Jing no longer wanted to join the crowd, but now that Elder Changyun had called him, he felt obliged to step forward.

Just as Lin Jing approached, the Holy Maiden of Yunxian Sect watching him couldn’t help but ask in confusion:

Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.

"May I ask if this is Elder Lin?"

Her voice, crisp and pleasing, seemed somewhat familiar, yet very strange.

Lin Jing unconsciously looked at the Holy Maiden of the Yunxian Sect, who was also looking at him, their eyes meeting.

Looking into the eyes of the Holy Maiden, that feeling of familiarity became even more apparent.

Yet Lin Jing couldn’t seem to remember when exactly he had encountered this woman...
