Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Gap
At the moment when Mo Yun’s flame ascended, Ling Zhongtian also stepped up to the Pill Furnace, commencing his Pill Refining.
“Ling Zhongtian is finally making his move.”
“Although he’s a little behind in progress, pills are judged more on quality.”
“That’s right. Quality is the most important. As long as the quality is the best, even if it’s the last one completed, it can surpass the others.”
“Besides, Ling Zhongtian comes from an Alchemy Tao family, the ancient refining methods he knows may not be weaker than Fang Lin’s.”
…
...Ling Zhongtian’s actions immediately drew attention from the crowd. After all, he is still the most favoured one in this selection, especially those Pill Refiners from the Alchemy Tao family, who were especially supportive of Ling Zhongtian.
Mo Yun glanced at Ling Zhongtian, his actions remained unaffected and continued methodically.
Ling Zhongtian’s action was extremely fast, even skipping the step of ingredient allocation and directly starting Ignition Alchemy.
“Ling Zhongtian’s progress is so fast, he’s now almost on par with Mo Yun.”
“He omitted the ingredient allocation step, so of course, he’s fast.”
“But, won’t skipping the ingredients allocation impact the later process of refining the pill?”
“A truly outstanding Pill Refiner doesn’t need to allocate, they have measured quantities in their minds and can readily apply it.”
…
A bundle of flames rose from the Pill Furnace of Ling Zhongtian, it’s a pale-golden flame, and within it, a faint image of a White Crane unfurled its wings.
The moment the flame rose, the White Crane’s phantom emitted a loud and clear cry, as if in that moment, it was reborn from the ashes.
From the White Crane’s phantom, one can tell that Ling Zhongtian’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire was derived from the beast’s fire within the Demon Beast.
Although under normal circumstances, Beast Flame is less potent than Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, some special Beast Flames carry great power and are not inferior to Heaven and Earth Origin Fire.
Mo Yun’s flame is also remarkable, it’s a kind of Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, emitting a scorching breath, as if it wants to rival Ling Zhongtian’s flame.
“Humph!” Ling Zhongtian scoffed, and amidst the rising flames, the ethereal White Crane flew out from within the fire, releasing an intangible aura instantly suppressing Mo Yun’s flame.
Mo Yun slapped the Pill Furnace, and the flame transformed into a fist imprint, furiously smashing towards the flying flame in the form of a White Crane.
This is a contest of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, and also a faceoff of the two’s Fire Control Skills.
To everyone’s surprise, the strength shown by Mo Yun was not weaker than Ling Zhongtian’s.
“Something’s not right, Mo Yun wasn’t this good when he sparred with Ling Zhongtian before.”
“Could it be that Ling Zhongtian’s injury hasn’t healed fully and he can’t bring out all his strength?”
“It’s not that Ling Zhongtian isn’t fully healed, but that Mo Yun has become stronger!”
“That’s right, Mo Yun’s Fire Control Skill has significantly improved compared to before.”
…
A hint of surprise showed in Ling Zhongtian’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Mo Yun, a once defeated opponent, to have improved so much that he could be on par with him in Fire Control.
But Ling Zhongtian was still confident, that even if Mo Yun’s Fire Control Skill improved a lot, in the Alchemy Tao, fire control is only a part of it.
After the flames of the two shivered for a long while and yielded no result, they almost simultaneously withdrew their hands, and the flames returned to their respective Pill Furnace.
At the same time, Zhu Yuntao also began his Pill Refining. Like Ling Zhongtian, he bypassed the step of ingredient allocation and directly ignited the flame.
Thus, Shen Xue Jian became the last one yet to start refining pills.
Many people turned their eyes towards Shen Xue Jian, including those who strongly supported her, all seemed quite puzzled.
Shen Xue Jian bit her lip lightly, showing an unhappy face. She had a high opinion of herself, claiming her birth in the Alchemy Tao family and exceptional talent. From the time she stepped into Alchemy Tao, she hadn’t encountered any obstacles, hence she disregarded others.
Even though Ling Zhongtian and Zhu Yuntao were from the same Alchemy Tao family, she did not believe that she was inferior to them.
Furthermore, possessing a special Soul Commanding Pill Fire, she believed herself superior to them.
But look at it now, Shen Xue Jian was the last one amongst them all; everyone else had started refining pills, only she hadn’t started yet.
From this alone, a gap had started to emerge.
Shen Xue Jian felt quite reluctant, she didn’t expect to be the last one. Even if it’s just lagging in progress, it’s hard for her to accept.
But Shen Xue Jian did not become overly anxious because of this, after glancing over the Pill Formula of the Purple Origin Pill, she started refining the pill.
Shen Xue Jian’s participation brought the selection to a boiling point, everyone watched intently, focusing on the four competitors in the arena.
“Not bad, not bad, you all take on some sort of look.” Fang Lin crossed his legs and sat on the side, watching. From time to time, he nodded his head, appearing sage-like.
His demeanor made many people unable to resist wanting to punch him; even though you are just a Four Cauldrons Pill Refiner, you still want to act like a predecessor in Alchemy Tao; isn’t that shameless?
In fact, in Fang Lin’s view, the Alchemy Tao abilities of these four were quite clear. Others couldn’t tell, but from Fang Lin’s experience, it was clear at a glance.
Among the four, Mo Yun and Ling Zhongtian should be considered the most talented, evenly matched. Zhu Yuntao is slightly inferior, but not by much.
But Shen Xue Jian, compared to the other three in terms of talent, is indeed a bit inferior. If not for being born in a noble family, receiving a great deal of training and guidance, she might not be able to compete with the other three.
Perhaps the elders of Shen Xue Jian knew that her talent was not very strong, that’s why they went through a great deal of effort to find her a relatively special Soul Commanding Pill Fire. This allowed her to take a lead in terms of flames over other Pill Refiners of her generation.
In Fang Lin’s view, if the four of them started from the same starting point, the other three might not compare to Mo Yun.
Fang Lin watched for a while and then lost interest. In his eyes, this was just like kids playing around, there was nothing worth watching.
But the other people present were still fired up, occasionally making a gasp of surprise.
But with Fang Lin’s stunning Triple Dragon Fire Refining beforehand, this made the current Pill refining by these four, although also very impressive, yet still not as shocking as Fang Lin’s before.
The Hall Master of the North Town Hall and the other elders also had the same feeling, although they were all refining Purple Origin Pills, the feeling given by Fang Lin when he was refining, and the current four people refining, are completely different.
Fang Lin was like a real Pill Refiner, with some indescribable quality in every move, which made people unconsciously lost in it.
As for the four of Ling Zhongtian, they did not have Fang Lin’s demeanor. Even if they were all geniuses, they seemed to be a lot inferior compared with Fang Lin.
Just as everyone was at attention, there came an unexpected surprise on the field.
