However, none of these refining pharmacists was Yi Shusheng’s disciple. It’s not that he didn’t have disciples, but that none of his disciples participated in this year’s refining pharmacist contest. Probably because of this, Yi Shusheng was chosen to preside over this year’s refining pharmacist contest.
Before this year, the refining pharmacist contest was always hosted by Situ Kong, who had always refused to recruit any disciple before. As a result, Situ Kong naturally resided over the refining pharmacist contest in the past.
Yi Shusheng looked at the refining pharmacists on the stage and smiled slightly, “First of all, congratulations to all the participants to be able to enter the final. Let me explain the rules now. In the final round, there are no topics or any restrictions on grades. So you can refine anything you believe that could help you win the contest.
“You have 6 hours, and the medicinal materials need to be provided by yourself. Once you have completed medicine refining, please press the red button on your medicine refining table. The contest starts now.’
After Yi Shusheng finished speaking, he glanced at Duanmu Xi again, hoping that she could bring them new surprises.
When Duanmu Xi heard that there was no limitation on the type or grade of the elixir, she was in a daze. And then she pondered for a while.
Six hours was a long time for her, so she decided to challenge an earthly-grade level-one Elixir, the Bodhi Elixir. If she failed, she would still have enough time to refine the dark-grade level-nine elixir.
After making the decision, Duanmu Xi took out two copies of medicinal materials for refining the Bodhi Elixir from her storage ring. Duanmu Xi only gave herself two chances. It’s not that she didn’t prepare enough medicinal materials, nor that she had not enough time, but that this earthly-grade elixir was very laborious to refine. So, if she couldn’t successfully refine the Bodhi Elixir with the two copies of medicinal materials, then she had to give it up. Otherwise, Duanmu Xi would not have the mental power to refine dark-grade level-nine elixir.
Duanmu Xi urged the fire spiritual power in her body to ignite the flame in the medicine tripod. She controlled the flame temperature and started to refine the medicine materials.
There were five types of medicinal materials for the refining of earthly-grade elixir. In fact, Duanmu Xi had refined these medicinal materials many times, so it was not difficult for her, but she had never mastered the final fusion. Duanmu Xi had tried to refine the Bodhi Elixir hundreds of times, but she had never succeeded. Therefore, she didn’t know if she would be able to succeed this time.
As time passed, everyone was immersed in their refining. Several people had the same idea as Duanmu Xi, but they chose to refine the one they were most confident with first. In this way, even if they failed in the next round of refining, they were still eligible for the contest with the elixir in hand.
It took Duanmu Xi an hour to finally extract the essence of the five medicinal materials. Looking at the five essences in her hand, she wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and smiled lightly. Finally, she completed the refining. And next, it came to fusion.
Because she had experienced many failures before, Duanmu Xi was not in a hurry to start the fusion this time. Instead, she carefully thought about the reasons for the previous failures. Her master said that the way and sequence of her fusion were correct, then the most possible reason for her failure might be that she was too nervous and concerned so much about the result when she fused.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Xi closed her eyes and took a deep breath to make herself loosen up, “No need to be nervous, and it’s okay to fail. I’ll refine the dark-grade level-nine elixir instead. The result was not important either, what really counts is the medicine refining process,” she said in her heart.
When Duanmu Xi opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with calm already. She started her fusion in an orderly fashion.
On the high platform, Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi who was fully engaged in the refining. His amber eyes were full of love. It was said that a serious woman was the most beautiful, and this was true. Duanmu Xi was really charming when she was seriously refining the elixir.
Glancing at the young refining pharmacists who all looked at Duanmu Xi with admiration, Xuanyuan Mo was depressed again. He really wanted to hide her away and prevent these laymen from seeing her beauty.
Another hour passed, and the green flame in Duanmu Xi’s medicine tripod was still burning. As the elixir in the medicine tripod gradually took shape, a burst of strong elixir fragrance wafted out.
The instance the refining pharmacists on the contest stage smelled the rich aroma of the elixir, their eyes widened.
“This is Bodhi Elixir!”
“She’s trying to refine Bodhi Elixir!”
“Oh my, she is refining an earthly-grade elixir!”
The elders on the high platform were also very surprised. They didn’t expect that she would choose to refine an earthly-grade elixir this time. Just by looking at her expressions and movements, they guessed that it was obviously not as easy as refining yellow-grade elixir or dark-grade elixir for her. They wondered whether she could successfully refine the Bodhi Elixir.
Situ Kong frowned slightly and looked at Duanmu Xi with some concern.
“Xi is too hasty. How could an earthly-grade elixir be so easy to refine? Since dark-grade level-nine elixir is a bottleneck for most people, and she has just overcome it for over half a month, how could she make another breakthrough so quickly?” Situ Kong thought.
It took him three full years to break through from dark grade level-nine to earthly grade. Even so, he was still considered fairly fast by others. Since some refining pharmacists could even take decades to make such a breakthrough, and some even couldn’t make it for a lifetime.
Duanmu Xi did not relax after the bursts of fragrance wafted out from the medicine tripod. Instead, she still concentrated on controlling the flames in the medicine tripod. Now it was the most critical moment which could decide whether she could succeed or not.
As the Bodhi Elixir in her medicine tripod gradually took shape, the sky slowly began to change, which was originally sunny, but soon dark clouds quickly gathered out of nowhere.
This sudden change made everyone look up at the sky in surprise.
It was getting darker and darker with more dark clouds gathered. Finally, the clouds ended up completely blocking the sun, and the light suddenly dimmed. The crowd only heard the thunder from time to time in the dark cloud, but they couldn’t see any lightning at all.
When the elders sitting on the platform saw the sudden darkened sky, they all stood up in shock and looked towards Duanmu Xi on the contest stage. Even Situ Kong jumped up from the chair with a look of shock.
The phenomenon that there was only thunder without lightning in the sky was called Virtual Elixir Thunder by refining pharmacists. All of those who had refined the earthly-grade elixir knew that this Virtual Elixir Thunder would only appear when the earthly-grade elixir was made.
While Virtual Elixir Thunder was not a real Elixir Thunder, it was just an illusion. The real Elixir Thunder could only be triggered by the birth of a heavenly-grade elixir.
The changes in the sky and the exclamation of everyone did not affect Duanmu Xi at all. She paid close attention to the Bodhi Elixir in her medicine tripod. The Bodhi Elixir in medicine tripod had taken shape, it only needed a bit more fusion at the last moment.
“Boom…” A powerful green elixir gas rushed straight into the sky, breaking through the layers of dark clouds.
Everyone felt that the sky was bright again and everything was back to normal as if the dark clouds had never appeared at all.
Looking at the successfully refined Bodhi Elixir in the medicine tripod, Duanmu Xi smiled. Although the smile was as short as a flash in the pan, it made all the people present so ecstatic that they would never forget it for the rest of their life.
Finally, the fire was extinguished, and the elixir was completed. Duanmu Xi waved her sleeves, and a pale green Bodhi Elixir laid quietly in her palm.
Looking at the color of Bodhi Elixir in her palm, Duanmu Xi smiled slightly. Not bad, the Bodhi Elixir that she refined for the first time was of medium level.
When everyone saw the Bodhi Elixir in Duanmu Xi’s hand, their hearts, which were already numbed by her numerous surprises, trembled fiercely again.
Duanmu Xi actually made Bodhi Elixir! It was an earthly-grade elixir, which most refining pharmacists pursued for a lifetime and was a dream of everyone in the Hantian Continent. Even the emperors of the four countries couldn’t easily get it!
Xuanyuan Hao was extremely shocked at this time as well. How could Duanmu Xi succeed in making a Bodhi Elixir? Xuanyuan Hao was only a dark-grade level-seven refining pharmacist when he was 26 years old. Whereas she was ten years younger than him, she was already an earthly grade refining pharmacist! There was a bitter smile on the lips of Xuanyuan Hao. Obviously, Duanmu Xi had dwarfed him in terms of talents, and he even got the feeling that no one deserved to have her, including himself.
Not only the refining pharmacists, but the confidence of those authoritative elders of the Refining Pharmacists’ Guild who were sitting on the high platform, was also hit badly.
A 16-year-old earthly grade refining pharmacist? That’s amazing! The elders were just beginners when they were 16! And they were only yellow-grade refining pharmacists back then! The gap between them and Duanmu Xi was two stages, which was a whale of a difference!
Situ Kong was also incredulous, Xi was simply a genius against the odds! Situ Kong was close to 30 years old when he became an earthly-grade refining pharmacist. Back then, he was called the youngest earthly-grade refining pharmacist by the entire medicine refining world. Now it seemed that he was far behind Xi!
But Situ Kong quickly became relieved when he realized that his disciple was so outstanding. As her master, he should be happy for her. Just as the saying goes, “Pupils, who are taught by the teacher, always surpass their teacher.” This was a law that had never changed since ancient times.
Seeing the surprised expression on the elders’ faces, Situ Kong felt refreshed again. Since they always boasted in front of Situ Kong how talented and smart their disciples were and irritated him for having no disciple. Now, let’s see how powerful his disciple was!
Glancing at the refining pharmacists who were still incomparably devoted in their work, Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes flashed. 6 hours in total, but now only half of the time had passed. So, there was still plenty of time for her.
Just when everyone thought Duanmu Xi was going to press the red button, she started a new round of refining.
With the success just now, Duanmu Xi was even more relaxed. Finally, she completed another Bodhi Elixir without the slightest pressure and with ease.
After experiencing another Virtual Elixir Thunder, Duanmu Xi took out the Bodhi Elixir from the medicine tripod. This Bodhi Elixir was much darker in color than the first one.
After the two Bodhi Elixir were completed, more than half of the time had passed. So, after she finished, Duanmu Xi pressed the red button.
However, Duanmu Xi was not the first to press it. Someone had completed it even faster. Still, she was not the last one, as there were several others who hadn’t finished refining.
When Yi Shusheng saw the top-level Bodhi Elixir refined by Duanmu Xi, he was almost certain that the champion of this refining pharmacist contest was Duanmu Xi.
Sure enough, after everyone had completed the refining, several judges discussed for a while. At last, Yi Shusheng announced the result of the contest.
“The champion of this year’s refining pharmacist contest is Duanmu Xi, who refined an earthly-grade level-one elixir, top-level Bodhi Elixir.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
