The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

A month seems like a long time, but for the monks, it is just a short time. It rained several times during this period, but the formation rising in the square isolated the rain outside. Everyone just felt the coolness of the rain, and no rain really fell on them.

"All right!"

Hu Kang's eyes lit up, he walked to the Dragon-Tiger Harmony Furnace and opened the lid. A rich elixir fragrance wafted out of the furnace, filling the entire square.

He looked into the furnace and saw ten round pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace. Hu Kang used his spiritual energy to lift the pills from the bottom of the furnace. Looking at the ten pills in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

He put the pills into a jade bottle and brought it to Xing Shen: "Elder Xing, this is the best pill I have ever made. With the effect of the Dragon-Tiger Furnace, there is at least one unique pill in it, and the others are all heavenly pills with 90% efficacy!"

Xing Shen took the jade bottle from Hu Kang, poured the pills in the jade bottle into his hand, scraped a little powder from each pill, tasted all the powder, and nodded: "Not bad, one absolute pill, eight heavenly pills with 90% efficacy, but unfortunately one pill is a heavenly pill with 80% efficacy."

When Hu Kang heard what Xing Shen said, he was stunned at first. He took the jade bottle back from Xing Shen's hand, poured out his own pills and tasted them. It was exactly as Xing Shen said, one absolute pill, eight pills with 90% efficacy and one heavenly pill with 80% efficacy. However, he was already very satisfied with the pills he had refined this time. If it were not for the Dragon and Tiger Furnace, he would not even be able to reach the edge of the absolute pill, and the best he could do would be the heavenly pill with 80% efficacy.

The Dragon-Tiger Harmony Furnace was taken back by Jiang Tianfu, and the pills had been put into the jade bottle, so the fragrance of the pills in the square dissipated in an instant.

Looking at Li Shengnan who still hadn't finished refining the elixir, Hu Kang finally felt that he was going to win back a point. The small cauldron didn't even have a lid, and there was not even a trace of elixir fragrance wafting out. Didn't this prove that the elixir refining had failed? He knew that such a small broken cauldron could never be compared to the Dragon-Tiger Furnace.

"Elder Xing, I think you should just announce it. Her elixir doesn't even have a scent, how can it be better than mine?"

Hu Kang's words made Xing Shen very uncomfortable. When did even Hu Kang command him? If it weren't for the fact that they were still in the competition and there were so many disciples watching, he would have let Hu Kang know the difference in status between him and him.

"No hurry, Fellow Daoist Li's elixir hasn't been produced yet, why are you so anxious?"

"Elder Xing, you are not deliberately covering up for me, are you? Her pills don't have any fragrance, and they are so small. Even if they have some effect, can they be better than mine? I think we should not waste everyone's time."

Hu Kang spoke very loudly when he said this, and he deliberately wanted his voice to be heard by the disciples around the square. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, voices of support emerged from his disciples.

"That's right, there's not even any scent of the elixir, it must be a bad elixir, what a waste of so many top-quality medicinal materials."

"I thought she was pretty good in the first two rounds, but I didn't expect that she has no ability at all in alchemy. She can't even make an elixir, and she actually wants to grab the position of Honorary Second Elder? She is definitely related to the deputy head!"

"Be careful with your words! We are only disciples of Danding Sect. We have no right to participate in anything the higher-ups do."

As the disciples at the square became more and more chaotic, Hu Kang showed a triumphant smile on his face. He just wanted to make the disciples of Danding Sect chaotic, otherwise how could he cover up the failure of the first two rounds? Moreover, he had someone spread the news before. Now, as long as the furnace of elixirs refined by Li Shengnan was confirmed, he could put the blame on the deputy head.

Xing Shen listened to the discussions of the disciples around him with a gloomy face, and then looked at Hu Kang who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face. If he had not been afraid of disturbing Li Shengnan's alchemy, he would have cursed. However, Xing Shen's failure to take action did not mean that no one else would. With Dan Ping'er on the stands waving his hand, the disciples in the center suddenly became chaotic, and a group of disciples wearing different clothes appeared in the center of the crowd.

"Disciples from the Punishment Hall?" Hu Kang was stunned for a moment when he saw the group of disciples wearing different clothes. Then a bad premonition came to his mind. "What are the disciples from the Punishment Hall doing here? What are they going to do?"

"Don't you know it clearly?" Xing Shen pointed at the group of arrested disciples and said, "You are familiar with these disciples taken away by the Punishment Hall, right? These are all the disciples you have come into contact with recently, and they are also the disciples who have been inciting over there before."

"Of course I don't know them! What is the relationship between these disciples and me? I haven't even met them. What's more, they just expressed doubts. Is it not allowed to even doubt in Danding Sect?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Xing Shen didn't say anything but just smiled. Hu Kang felt even more uneasy. At this time, there was finally movement from Li Shengnan's side. A fragrance of elixir, stronger than Hu Kang's, appeared. Ten pills were taken out of the small tripod and put into a jade bottle. Li Shengnan took the jade bottle in her hand, walked to Xing Shen, and handed it to Xing Shen in front of her.

"Impossible! How is it possible with such a strong scent of elixir!"

No one paid any attention to Hu Kang. Xing Shen began to examine the pills made by Li Shengnan. He put the scraped powder into his mouth one by one.

"Ten pills, five absolute pills, five 90% heavenly pills. No wonder the deputy headmaster said that you are better than her in the way of alchemy. Even the deputy headmaster cannot refine such quality."

"Impossible! She must have cheated! There's no way she can be that good!"

"Haha, just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it. The path of alchemy relies on talent and hard work. With your half-baked skills, I don't know how far you are from it."

"I do not believe!"

"You don't believe it? It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. As for the elixir you refined, 20% of the medicinal effect of the elixir is elixir poison. How dare you say here that you don't believe it? I think Elder Jiang's Dragon and Tiger Furnace can't be used for a while. We have to wait until the toxins in the furnace are completely eliminated."

"How is it possible... All medicines are 30% poisonous. I only have 20% poison, which is the best result. Could it be that you..."

"There is something wrong with the way you handle the herbs. You just removed the dead leaves and the like from the herbs, but it is necessary to identify how much of a herb is suitable for use as medicine. Your practice of putting the entire herb into the alchemy furnace..." At this point, Li Shengnan looked at Hu Kang with a strange look, "Do you really know how to make an elixir?"
