Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

Xiao Jingyan was originally very calm and composed.

But when he saw that Li Fan had surpassed him, he had actually melted the medicine liquid.

An inexplicable tension suddenly surged in his heart.

Perhaps it was Li Fan’s overly amazing performance in the first assessment that gave him a huge shock.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but purse slightly, and a rare seriousness appeared on his cold and arrogant face.

Quickly adjust the strategy to speed up the melting of the pill.

After all, melting the pill is the most critical step in the alchemy process, and it is also the part that tests the alchemist's skills and patience the most.

The extraction of medicinal liquid is only the basics, while melting the pill requires the perfect fusion of the extracted medicinal liquid with the core spiritual material to finally form the pill.

At this time, his hands were seen moving quickly like phantoms, making complex seals, and pouring spiritual power into the alchemy furnace accurately and rapidly.

Immediately, the flame in the furnace rose rapidly, and the temperature increased a lot in an instant.

Under the pull of this powerful force, the medicinal liquid rolled more violently and began to slowly gather towards the center of the furnace.

Perhaps because he was too hasty, Jamel Xiao's forehead began to sweat involuntarily, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

But he didn't care at all. His eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace. Instead, his hands moved faster and faster, and the frequency of his hand seals became higher and higher.

As he accelerated, the liquid in the furnace gradually became thicker and darker in color. Seeing that the pill was about to be formed, Xiao Jingyan's mouth curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.

However, at this moment, a crisp "ding" sound suddenly came from Li Fan's alchemy furnace, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky from the furnace.

Although the pill has not been fully condensed, it can be seen from its prototype that the quality should be quite high.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyan's face instantly became extremely ugly. He didn't even bother to adjust his state, and his movements became faster and faster.

Spiritual power poured into the alchemy furnace continuously like a river bursting its dam.

Finally, amidst a violent roar, a crisp sound came from the alchemy furnace, and a ray of light rushed out of the furnace and straight into the sky.

Jamel Xiao’s pill has also taken shape.

It looked like Jamel Xiao's elixir was a deep purple color, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance, as if it contained endless mysterious power.

Li Fan's pill was a crystal green color and also emitted an alluring fragrance, like a fine work of art.

The two of them completed the alchemy almost at the same time, and this fierce competition finally came to an end temporarily.

As Xiao Jingyan and Li Fan's pills were successfully brewed, the atmosphere in the entire alchemy field was instantly ignited. The other geniuses also accelerated the speed of alchemy.

Time passed minute by minute, and crisp sounds were heard from the alchemy field. Rays of light rushed out from the furnace, illuminating the entire hall.

Finally, everyone had finished refining the elixir. This alchemy competition had reached its most crucial moment—the elixir testing phase!

At this time, the hall was filled with the aroma of various elixirs, which intertwined together to form a unique and intoxicating atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation. They either clenched their fists or bit their lips, waiting for the final results to be announced.

At this moment, a pill testing platform suddenly appeared in the center of the square, with exquisite jade plates placed on it.

On each jade plate was placed a freshly-baked pill, and these pills were of different shapes and colors.

The heads of the four great families sat on high places, their expressions complicated and unreadable.

Jamel Xiao's performance was good enough, and they were confident in their hearts, so there was no need to worry too much.

But Li Fan suddenly appeared, which made them feel a little annoyed.

The dean and Reverend Duanya stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Li Fan withstood the pressure at the critical moment, otherwise these family heads would have started to mock him by now.

At this time, the fifth-level alchemist Zheng Lingye slowly walked forward.

His expression was calm and focused, as if the whole world only consisted of the pill in front of him.

He picked up the first pill and carefully observed its color, shape and luster, his eyes revealing professionalism and rigor.

Then he gently sniffed the aroma of the elixir and savored it carefully, as if feeling every bit of power contained in it.

Then he put the jade plate back.

At this moment, the hall was silent. Everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats, waiting for the final judgment.

Zhang Lingyu raised his head, glanced at the crowd, and slowly spoke, "We evaluate the pills based on their quality, efficacy, and the integrity of the alchemy process. So don't worry about making a mistake."

Everyone naturally knew this and was very confident in Zhang Lingyu's character.

As he examined them one by one, only two pills from Li Fan and Xiao Jingyan were left.

Now, everyone is paying attention.

After all, when the pills were made, Li Fan and Xiao Jingyan's were the most dazzling.

Zhang Lingyu slowly picked up Li Fan's pill.

Its appearance is crystal green, smooth as jade, and emits a faint fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

He nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, which was a recognition of Li Fan's superb skills.

He sniffed it gently. The fragrance of the pill was fresh and long-lasting. He couldn't help but smile slightly, as if immersed in this wonderful aroma.

Then, he put the pill down and said slowly: "This pill has a pure color, a fresh fragrance, a strong and long-lasting medicinal effect, and is made with exquisite craftsmanship. It can be called a top-grade pill."

Then, Zhang Lingyu picked up Xiao Jingyan's pill.

This pill is a deep purple in color and exudes a rich medicinal fragrance that seems to penetrate the soul.

After observing carefully, he nodded slightly with a hint of recognition in his eyes.

He also sniffed it gently.

After putting the pill down, he slowly said: "This pill has a deep color, a rich fragrance, and a strong medicinal effect. The refining process is also exquisite. It is also a top-grade pill."

But we must distinguish the good from the bad.

He had no choice but to place the two pills side by side and compare them carefully, his eyes filled with contemplation as he weighed the pros and cons of the two.

Finally, he raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: “I think Xiao Jingyan’s medicine is very good, but…”
