This was not a problem at all for the Jinling Sect's alchemist team. Their original plan was that Sui'an would have to go on stage to refine pills starting from the rematch. However, it was agreed at that time that Sui'an would first refine one furnace in the rematch to test the effect, and Shi Xu would refine two furnaces as a backup.

If you are lucky enough to make it to the finals, who will refine the elixir and how many furnaces each person will refine will be decided after the semi-finals.

"Now we need to refine six furnaces of pills for the semi-finals. How should we distribute them?"

Fan Tuo was not planning to refine pills this time. Although he had learned to refine pills for the same amount of time as Sui An, his talent in refining pills was far inferior to that in refining weapons. Although he could refine pills alone and had refined several batches of Xiao Yu Dan, the most he could make at a time was three pills, all of which were of low quality.

Sui'an was different. Before she conquered Lieque, she often refined Xiaoyudan on her own. The best furnace produced seven pills. Although they were all of low quality, considering the time she spent learning alchemy, she was considered quite talented in the art of alchemy.

"I will refine the Qingshen Pill, Sui'an will refine the Xiaoyu Pill, and each of us will refine three furnaces." Shi Xu made the final decision.

Sui An nodded, "Okay."

Unlike them who arranged the candidates and number of alchemists so neatly, many alchemist teams were still discussing and weighing the pros and cons. After all, their plans were suddenly disrupted. Many teams were even a little panicked. Everyone had opinions, and everyone's opinions were different. The whole arena suddenly felt like a busy market, full of noise.

"Start checking the spiritual herbs now, and start refining the elixir in ten breaths."

Under the influence of the thunder note, the deacon's voice once again spread throughout the alchemy room.

Each group has only one cluster of earth fire. According to common sense, there are three furnaces of each of the two kinds of elixirs, a total of six furnaces of elixirs, which need to be refined one furnace at a time. If two people take turns refining the elixirs, they can also take turns to rest and restore their spiritual energy and strength. However, this will prolong the refining time. It is not easy to finish refining all six furnaces of elixirs within the specified time, not to mention trying to get more points in a shorter time.

In this case, most people choose to have one person use earth fire to refine the elixir, and one person use fire source stone. The two of them refine the elixir together, and the other person assists in making the elixir.

But this is just a general situation. The Jinling Sect's alchemist team is not a general situation. A few days before the alchemist competition, Sui An just got a bunch of strange fire, so they can use the strange fire to refine pills.

"Fan Tuo, can you be our alchemy assistant?"

"Can!"

Shi Xu and Fan Tuo asked and answered questions in a very clear and efficient manner.

So when Jinling Sect's alchemist Shi Xu and his assistant Sui An sat in front of the earth fire, and one of them found an empty space and released the Lieque Fire from his palm, most of the alchemist groups were still discussing how to arrange the candidates and order for alchemy.

However, the Jinling Sect's alchemist group was not the only one that had already started refining pills. In addition to them, there were more than ten other groups that had also begun preparing to refine pills, either by taking out their own furnaces or distributing spiritual herbs.

However, strange fire is rare. First, it is not easy to find. Second, it is impossible to subdue it after finding it. Third, after barely subduing it, it will backfire on you. Therefore, among the one hundred alchemist teams participating in the rematch, only two teams have strange fire. In addition to Sui An, one of them is He Xuxing from the Danfu Sect.

Apparently, he and Cheng Yue would be refining pills together in the rematch, he would use strange fire and Cheng Yue would use earth fire.

"That's gilded flame." Shi Xu said in a low voice after taking a look at the strange fire in He Xuxing's hand, which looked no different from ordinary flames, but was obviously much more scorching than ordinary flames once released.

Because the two groups were tied for the last two places, their alchemy positions were next to each other. However, the fire in the alchemy room was arranged in a circle, so there was no difference in height between the two positions.

Therefore, Sui An and the other two saw everything clearly about the group of He Xuxing, Cheng Yue and Liu Chu, and Shi Xu could even identify the type of He Xuxing's strange fire at a glance.

Of course, things are mutual. They can see others, and others can naturally see everything about them clearly.

So when everyone arrived at the positions assigned according to their preliminary results, Sui An could feel many eyes around them looking at them. They might have heard about what happened yesterday. There was curiosity, doubt, and questioning in their eyes. Sui An and the other two didn't care, but they didn't feel the gazes from the neighbors.

"They are guilty!" Sui Dong made the final decision.

However, when Sui An sat cross-legged, a cluster of red fire appeared in his hand. Although the flame was not big and seemed to be in its infancy, its momentum was even more scorching than the gilded flame next door. It instantly attracted the attention of many people, including those who participated in the competition and spectators, as well as the three people next door.

"What kind of strange fire is that? It actually has the power of thunder?"

"That's originally thunder and fire. Isn't it normal for it to have the power of thunder?"

"Thunderfire?"

"This fire is called Lieque. How could a Jindan cultivator like you not know it?"

This conversation came from the two judges above.

These two were new judges added to the semi-finals. The one who spoke first was a casual cultivator, whose Taoist name was Rufeng, and the other was a Jindan Zhenren from Shengbao Sect, whose Taoist name was Chizhu.

When Rufeng Sanren heard Master Chi Zhu mocking his narrow-mindedness, he didn't care and nodded seriously.

"I am just a casual cultivator. Although I occasionally refine pills, I am not very interested in the art of alchemy. I occasionally refine a few mediocre magic weapons, but I can't keep it up for too long. In addition, I don't have a wealthy sect like Shengbao Sect to support me. Unlike Fellow Daoist Chi Zhu, you open your eyes every day and see countless natural treasures. Naturally, I can't compare with you!"

These words were soft yet piercing, like a needle hidden in cotton. Master Chi Zhu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Qin Rufeng, Qin Rufeng, you have such a Taoist name, but your temper is still the same as before. You won't give in even when you are right. No, you will still stir up trouble even when you are wrong. It would be better to just call you by your real name, Qin Gang, which would be more direct and straightforward."

Before Rufeng Sanren could reply, Chi Zhu Zhenren continued, "While our Shengbao Sect does have many good things, we don't have Lieque... Don't disbelieve me, Lieque is no ordinary strange fire. It's a perfect fusion of heavenly thunder and earthly fire. The fierceness of heavenly thunder and the scorching heat of earthly fire, when these two merge together, their intensity is so fierce that no one can tame them. One must possess the spiritual energy of thunder to do so."

"So, the young man below is a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots?" Rufeng Sanren asked casually.

Just this question made Master Chi Zhu hesitate, "This... I don't know."

As he spoke, he glanced at the other judges with a questioning look in his eyes.

Fang Xing Zhenren of Danfu Sect looked at the two clusters of strange fire below. One cluster was Liuyan, which he had discovered but missed, and the other was Lieque, which he had been looking for ever since he learned that there was such a strange fire in the world but had never heard of it. Unexpectedly, he saw it at a Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competition.

Moreover, it was subdued by a young cultivator who was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Thinking of this, Master Fang Xing smiled and said to Master Chi Zhu and Ru Feng San Ren who were still arguing, "That is a cultivator from the Jin Ling Sect, named Sui An, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He has the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and fire, but no lightning spiritual root."

"Without the Thunder Spiritual Root, how did she subdue Lieque?"

Master Chi Zhu was surprised.

Rufeng Sanren sneered at him and said, "So even Daoist Fellow Chi Zhu, who has seen countless natural treasures, has only limited knowledge!"

Kuang Wei, who had been listening to their conversation calmly, glanced at Master Fang Xing.
