"Bang"

  Xia Baichi's hand couldn't help but tremble, and the flame suddenly surged. The blood-clotting fruit couldn't withstand the drastic change of the flame and was instantly burned to ashes.

  For a moment, everyone in the audience had an extremely strange look on their faces. They looked at each other and couldn't say a word.

  "Long Chen"

  A shrill voice pierced everyone's eardrums, as if a ghost was asking for their lives, making people shudder.

  The voice came from Xia Baichi's mouth. At this time, Xia Baichi's face was hideous, distorted, and stared at Long Chen.

  Just now, she was about to find the critical point of the blood-clotting fruit, so that she could know what kind of fire was most suitable for purifying it.

  But frightened by Long Chen, the flames surged, and when she wanted to take it back, it was too late. An extremely precious three-hundred-year-old blood-clotting fruit was gone, which made her heart bleed.

  "Ahem, sorry, I have the habit of moistening my throat before refining the elixir. In order not to scare you, I will roar twice first, just to tell you that I will also start refining the elixir. I am really sorry," Long Chen said apologetically.

  It was intentional, absolutely intentional. Even a blind man could see that Xia Baichi's eyes were about to spit fire.

  But she couldn't do anything to Long Chen. In any rule, it would not stipulate that the other party could not make a sound. Now she also suffered a loss.

  "Calm down"

  Wei Cang shouted coldly, and Xia Baichi slowly suppressed her anger. If she didn't calm down, she would be more likely to fail.

  "I am very calm, don't worry about it," Long Chen replied coldly.

  "Miss Idiot, why don't you continue refining? I'll try to keep my voice down next time. Is that okay?"

  Xia Baichi ignored Long Chen, her face livid, and took out two pieces of cloth from her ring and stuffed her ears tightly, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Long Chen scaring her.

  What made Long Chen speechless was that Xia Baichi took out another blood-clotting fruit, and even had a spare one, which made Long Chen a little depressed.

  But now that she was prepared, it was obviously difficult to use the same trick again, so she could only blame herself for her bad luck.

  "Huh"

  Long Chen stretched out his palm, and a yellow flame rose up. What made Wei Cang's pupils shrink was that Long Chen's flame was not much weaker than Xia Baichi's.

  Looking at Long Chen's pill fire, Master Yun Qi was slightly surprised. Long Chen's pill fire was much stronger than the last time he refined the pill.

  "Haha, I said, Brother Long will definitely be fine. Look, Brother Long's hand is also on fire," said Fatty Yu proudly.

  Shi Feng and others felt relieved when they saw Long Chen condensing the alchemy fire for the first time, which proved that Long Chen was indeed an alchemy apprentice.

  However, Long Chen's alchemy fire shocked many people. Although they guessed that Long Chen might be an alchemy apprentice, they were still shocked when they saw the real alchemy fire.

  In just two months, he created an alchemy apprentice out of thin air? Everyone looked at Master Yunqi who was sitting steadily on the stage, and their hearts were full of awe.

  Master Yunqi smiled bitterly in his heart. Only he knew that Long Chen's alchemy skills were not taught by him at all. It seems that this Long Chen has many secrets.

  Chu Yao watched Long Chen concentrate on condensing the alchemy fire. After the alchemy fire stabilized, he also started to warm the furnace. His movements were calm and his expression was indifferent, which made Chu Yao's originally nervous mood become much more relaxed.

  Long Chen saw that Xia Baichi had begun to purify the blood coagulation fruit stably, and he wanted to say "hello" to her again, but thinking that the hope of success was not great and it would also cause ridicule, he gave up and started to refine the blood coagulation fruit.

  Long Chen's blood-clotting fruit was only the size of a longan, which was much different from the blood-clotting fruit the size of a baby's fist at 300 years old.

  Not only was the size different, but the essence inside was also different. It can be said that Long Chen lost more than one step at the starting line. This was a completely unfair competition.

  Long Chen could only try his best to remove the impurities in the blood-clotting fruit to improve the quality of the pill. He had already suffered a loss at the beginning, and could only make up for it from other places.

  "Huh"

  Suddenly, the flames burst out, and Long Chen's pill fire covered the entire pill furnace. The terrifying flames made people around feel a burning sensation.

  "What a powerful soul power"

  This time, even Wei Cang was moved. Long Chen used the soul power as oil to support the pill fire, and also divided a part of the soul power to protect the essence in the blood-clotting fruit from being lost. This practice was really crazy.

  However, after being moved, Wei Cang showed a cold smile. Soul power is very strong, but how can a fifty-year-old blood-clotting fruit be compared with a hundred-year-old blood-clotting fruit? What's more, it is a three-hundred-year-old blood-clotting fruit.

  The soul power consumption in the early stage is so great. When the pill is formed, there is not enough soul power to lock the pill, which is a dead end. In Wei Cang's eyes, this behavior is clearly the behavior of an outsider.

  Among the people present, only Master Yunqi was not surprised at Long Chen's method at all. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that only Long Chen was qualified to do such a luxurious method.

  "Huh"

  Long Chen took out a pile of red powder from the pill furnace and found that the powder was bright red and there were not many spots. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  Those spots are impurities, but with his current firepower, it is impossible to completely purify it. This is already the limit.

  Looking up at Xia Baichi, he found that after her ears were plugged, she turned a deaf ear to the outside world and was very efficient. There was a pile of red powder next to her.

  That was the powder of the blood-clotting fruit. What made Long Chen's pupils shrink was that the three-hundred-year-old blood-clotting fruit was different. The powder was much brighter than Long Chen's, and had fewer impurities.

  Long Chen couldn't help but frown. He hated that he had many superb alchemy skills, but he didn't dare to use them. If Wei Cang, that bastard, saw something strange, he would definitely deal with him.

  Let's go ahead and watch one. If it doesn't work, just go for it. Anyway, you can't lose.

  Refine the herbs into powder one by one. Calculating the time, half an hour has passed. When I look at Xia Baichi again, she has sealed the furnace and started to refine the pill.

  After sealing the furnace, it is basically finalized. Except for the last step of gathering the pill, there is nothing easy to make mistakes.

  "Long Chen, the time is almost up. I look forward to you licking my toes." Xia Baichi has taken off the earplugs and sneered at Long Chen.

  Now that she has sealed the furnace, she just needs to keep the fire input. In order to avenge the previous arrow, she began to divide Long Chen's heart.

  "Please shut up, the foot odor you spray will affect the air quality," Long Chen said lightly.

  "You..."

  Xia Baichi was furious, and the fire in her hand jumped slightly again, which frightened her so much that she quickly gathered her mind and dared not speak again, and plugged her ears again.

  She found that when it came to bickering, even if there were ten thousand of her, she was not Long Chen's opponent. She now put all her energy into the pill, and she was looking forward to the moment when Long Chen was humiliated.

  After a while, Long Chen also began to seal the furnace, and the two of them each activated the fire to accelerate the formation of the pill.

  "Bang"

  A quarter of an hour later, Xia Baichi's furnace vibrated, and the originally silent scene suddenly boiled.

  Even if I have never seen alchemy, I have heard that when the pill is made, the pill furnace will move abnormally, which is clearly a sign of pill success.

  As the pill furnace continued to make noises, the sound became louder and louder, and the vibration became more and more intense. Xia Baichi shouted coldly, slapped his hands on the pill furnace, and the power of the soul poured in.

  After a loud noise, the pill furnace became silent, and Xia Baichi could not suppress her excitement.

  With her rich experience in alchemy, she was 90% sure that she had succeeded, but she was still a little nervous.

  Slowly reaching out to open the lid of the furnace, a strong pill fragrance came to her face and instantly spread to the entire venue.

  "What a strong fragrance"

  Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, and Wei Cang's face showed a touch of satisfaction. Without looking, just by the fragrance, he knew that Xia Baichi succeeded.

  "Hahahaha..."

  Xia Baichi held a round pill in his hand, his face was full of enthusiasm, and he laughed loudly, but because he was too excited, his laughter was a little hoarse and unpleasant.

  "Who stepped on your neck?" Long Chen glanced at Xia Baichi and asked with concern.

  Although he knew that Long Chen's words were full of sarcasm, Xia Baichi didn't care. He looked at Long Chen coldly and said, "Boy, I'm waiting for the moment when you kowtow to me and lick my feet, haha..."

  Long Chen shook his head slightly and stopped talking, but he was shocked in his heart. This crazy woman was so lucky that she actually refined a medium-grade blood coagulation pill. No wonder she laughed like crazy.

  Long Chen saw that there was a very faint pill pattern on the pill. Although it was very faint, it was indeed a pill pattern.

  With Xia Baichi's strength, the probability of refining such a medium-grade pill would never exceed one percent.

  Is God taking care of idiots? Long Chen couldn't help cursing in his heart. If he continued like this, he might really lose. No, he had to think of a way.

  "Bang"

  At this time, Long Chen's alchemy furnace also vibrated, indicating that Long Chen's pill was about to take shape, and it was the most critical moment.

  "No, I have to take action"

  Long Chen took a deep breath, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, he slapped the lid of the alchemy furnace with one palm, and the lid of the alchemy furnace was gently opened by him.

  "What?"

  Yun Qi was surprised. This was the key to the formation of the pill. The lid must not be opened, otherwise the medicinal properties would be lost.

  Even Wei Cang was surprised. Long Chen's action was obviously not in line with the common sense of alchemy, but Long Chen's face was serious, and he didn't look like he was giving up.

  As the lid of the furnace was opened, Long Chen's soul power was running wildly, tightly locking the medicinal properties in the alchemy furnace.

  "Boom boom boom"

  The furnace kept rioting, and beads of sweat fell on Long Chen's face. At this time, the pill in the furnace was like a wild bull struggling non-stop.

  Long Chen used his soul power to lock it tightly, but this consumed a lot of soul power.

  Oops, the soul power was running out.

  Long Chen suddenly felt tired, and shouted loudly, and the soul power surged out.

  "Boom"

  The furnace made a loud noise, and the whole arena was shaken. Long Chen tightly closed the furnace cover and covered it tightly.

  It was not until the furnace was completely silent that Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. His whole body was wet with sweat. The consumption just now was too great.

  Slowly opened the furnace cover, and a scent of pill wafted out. Looking at the pill lying in the furnace, Long Chen's face changed.
