ter. Moreover, the soil could absorb a large amount of qi energy by itself.“It's unexpected that the cultivation field has grown so large!” Shen Xiang said excitedly, he was growing many medicinal mat...Chapter 316 Power

Only alchemists with a certain level of expertise could see the difficulty in refining Spirit Origin pills. They could see that the dense medicinal essence was devouring something, growing larger after being devoured and then compressed by Shen Xiang to prevent the medicinal essence from expanding due to its growth.

Those medicinal essences were similar to mental power, except that they were the spirit within the herbs and were pure. They were violent despite not being controlled by anyone.

“So it’s like this. This little brat has really impressed me and I have to admire him! No wonder Second Empress Dream would be so fond of this little brat,” Hua Xiangyue giggled. She had been staring at Shen Xiang’s transparent cauldron the entire time and she was also an alchemist, but had never refined Spirit Origin pills before. Naturally, she would pay attention.

Cheese snorted, “You’re also like this”

Hua Xiangyue giggled and petted Cheese’s long beautiful hair. “Can you snatch him away”

“If you can, that’s a sign of your strength,” Cheese stuck out her tongue and her complicated gaze looked at Shen Xiang’s serious handsome face. She couldn’t deny that she had indeed fallen for this little brat.

Time passed and Shen Xiang’s illusory treasure cauldron, originally filled with colorful light, now shone white because of the condensation of medicinal essences. The powder and essence were fused together, divided into three parts by him. He was trying to refine three Spirit Origin pills, which scared all the alchemists.

They had known from records that a dish could only yield one Spirit Origin pill. However, Shen Xiang overturned their beliefs by trying to refine three.

Alchemists knew that if they wanted more pills in a dish, they needed to retain some medicinal essences and powders. They needed strong divine awareness to suppress the instability of formation pills, and if one was unsuccessful during formation, all would fail.

Many people chose to let a part of the essences and powders flow out from the pill cauldron for fear of failure. Though there would be fewer pills, they could at least succeed and not waste medicinal ingredients, which was commonly written in many books. Over time, this became something that alchemists believed was normal.

However, Shen Xiang rarely did this and therefore he produced a large number of pills with high quality!

Everything inside the illusory treasure cauldron happened exactly as Shen Xiang had predicted, making him more familiar with the unpredictable feeling. As long as he grasped that feeling well enough, he could further master the煉丹術 of illusory manifestation.

Refining three Spirit Origin pills was also for the sake of earning more value. Even if he failed to refine True Elemental Pill, he still had chances to win first place. If he could refine Foundation Establishment pills, he felt that he would definitely win.

If only he hadn’t been without the Azure Profound Fruit, he would have already completed three Heavenly-grade Low-quality pills by now. Moreover, refining four Foundation Establishment pills in one dish would certainly scare a group of alchemists.

It was still an hour away from dawn. Three light balls in Shen Xiang’s transparent cauldron started shuddering before suddenly condensing together and spinning crazily, slowly shrinking. A雛形 of the medicinal pill appeared.

Everyone held their breath, waiting to see. Shen Xiang had completed the illusory manifestation for three Spirit Origin pills in his head, which was the first time he had tried refining so many at once. This success filled him with an exhilarating feeling.

Three Spirit Origin pills were completed. Shen Xiang held them in his palm, revealing a smile on his solemn face. The other nine alchemists who participated in the competition were under great pressure. They hadn’t expected Shen Xiang to refine such a bizarre Spirit Origin pill by the dozen, and they had lost big.

“This little brat can only refine two pills at most, and even then he uses his powerful pill cauldron. Now that this little brat can produce three without relying on any cauldron, I have indeed squeezed out his full potential,” Hua Xiangyue smiled proudly, thinking she had done a good deed. Now she felt like a proud teacher who had guided her talented student, and that student had shown outstanding results.

Shen Xiang was truly thankful to Hua Xiangyue, this witch. He suddenly understood why she had intentionally caused him to pick that broken pill cauldron during the draw. It wasn’t to deliberately mess with him, but rather to help him overcome his dependence on the Fire Dragon Treasure Cauldron.

Shen Xiang guessed that both of the next two matches were arranged by Hua Xiangyue, because she had uncovered his special secret during the assessment. He was now ninety percent sure of it due to strange feelings.

“This brat definitely has the mechanism to refine Foundation Establishment pills next. I’ve been messed with so badly,” Gu Dongchen was speechless as he thought about how much he had spent buying ten Foundation Establishment pills. His heart hurt again.

​

“Is this his ten Foundation Establishment pills” Lin Yingxiao was slightly alarmed and asked.

“Correct!” Gu Dongchen sighed.

​

“Curious, when you bought Foundation Establishment pills, Dreamer was bidding against you. On the other hand, Dreamer also bid against Fairy Suixian when buying Spirit Origin pills! As far as I know, Fairy Suixian is Shen Xiang’s wife. What does that mean” Lin Yingxiao said.

Gu Dongchen was stunned. He clenched his fists and muttered, “This little brat must have encouraged Dreamer to raise her bid. Why would that proud woman do such dirty things with this little brat”

Wu Keming also felt that it was very plausible. “The worst person to have been messed with must be Fairy Jiangliang, since Shen Xiang knew that he would definitely buy the Foundation Establishment pills and made sure Dreamer increased her bid repeatedly.”

“Dreamer is the most familiar with me. Back then, she didn’t even bother to acknowledge my request for her birthday celebration, and I pursued her persistently for thousands of years. She wouldn’t have done this type of thing! Could it be because of her talented disciple” Lin Yingxiao said.

Gu Dongchen and Wu Keming couldn’t figure out how an honorable Second Empress could mix with their cunning junior master to do such terrible things. Knowing that Dreamer wasn’t lacking in crystal essence or True Elemental pills, they decided to ask her when the time came.

Lin Yingxiao was even more impressed by Shen Xiang’s ability to persuade Dreamer. He had made her attend his birthday celebration in the past, but she didn’t go.

“I need to watch over everyone from Lotus Island and prevent any conflicts with Shen Xiang. This little brat is too scary!” Gu Dongchen muttered, because he knew Dreamer’s personality. Not only could this woman lower her status to do things that usually weren’t allowed, she would also fight on his behalf.er. The old man lost an arm as a result.Shen Xiang performed the怒龍斬, an extremely powerful slash. Under his anger, he concentrated all his strength into the blade, making it completely devastating.Aft...
