That was the first furnace of pills. He pursued speed too much, causing the refining temperature of some medicinal ingredients to be too high, which led to the inability to fuse.
Therefore, Ye Feng then began to slightly lower the refining temperature and speed, allowing the medicinal properties of all the medicinal ingredients to fuse fully.
However, even so, his speed was still incredibly fast, and he quickly refined the second furnace of pills. A few irregularly shaped pills appeared before his eyes.
As expected, Ye Feng failed again, but the situation was slightly better than last time. At least the outline of the pills could be seen, which boosted his confidence, and he continued to refine.
And by the time he had refined two furnaces, the refining of the others around him had only just reached one-third of the way, with some of the slower ones just beginning.
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads: "Alas, this kid doesn't know what he's thinking, refining so quickly. He can't possibly succeed like this!"
"Yes, not only will he not succeed, but refining at this speed is simply a waste of medicinal ingredients. You know, the spirit stones required for a set of medicinal ingredients are not a small amount!"
"Exactly, it seems this kid really doesn't understand alchemy..."
Only He Shasha beside him seemed to have seen Ye Feng's intention. Ye Feng was trying to find a way to succeed through continuous attempts!
Unlike the others around him, Ye Feng was refining pills for the first time. Although he had some theoretical knowledge, he knew nothing about the experience of refining pills.
Therefore, to refine the Yang-strengthening Pill, which was not inferior in difficulty to a first-order pill, within a day, he could not follow the conventional method. Only through continuous attempts could he have a chance to succeed!
As for the massive consumption of medicinal ingredients produced by alchemy, he didn't care. What he lacked now was not spirit stones, but time!
Soon, amidst the discussions of the crowd, Ye Feng refined several more furnaces at an extremely fast speed, all of which failed without exception.
However, during the seventh furnace, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he let out a light shout, "Seventh furnace of pills, condense for me!"
As he spoke, several slightly oval, spherical objects emitting a faint medicinal fragrance appeared. Ye Feng's seventh furnace of pills was out!
Seeing this, everyone, including Kang Qian and Yuan Tu beside him, turned their heads to look. Then, their mouths widened, and they showed shocked expressions.
Although Ye Feng's pills were still far from true pills, compared to the previous few times, they had already undergone tremendous changes.
They could even see traces of luster on the pills, which made everyone disbelieving and surprised.
"What? They've actually developed luster. Could this kid really succeed in refining?"
"No, I don't know, but this kid's talent is truly terrifying. He's reached this point in just a few furnaces. It's unbelievable!"
"Yes, yes, too monstrous..."
At this moment, they finally understood Ye Feng's plan. He intended to achieve a qualitative leap through quantitative change!
Only Yuan Tu, seeing this, immediately sneered, "Hmph, everyone, you're surprised too early. This is just the beginning of luster, and it's still far from success!"
"Exactly, it's still far from success. It's impossible to successfully refine the Yang-strengthening Pill, which is not inferior in difficulty to a first-order pill, within a day. This kid is bound to fail!"
"That's right, and with his consumption speed, his medicinal ingredients shouldn't be much left. Let's see what he does next!"
"Yes..."
Hearing their words, Ye Feng's expression also became slightly unsightly. Yuan Tu was right; after so many rounds of refining, his medicinal ingredients were indeed not much left.
But unfortunately, he lacked spirit stones the least!
Therefore, in the next second, he unhesitatingly took out his spatial ring and handed it to He Shasha, asking her to help him buy medicinal ingredients.
He Shasha did not hesitate, took the ring, and immediately began to help Ye Feng buy medicinal ingredients.
Seeing this, Ye Feng did not continue refining. Instead, he stopped to absorb the deficiencies from the previous refining and began to observe the refining of the people around him.
It could be seen that Yuan Tu was indeed worthy of being a quasi-first-order alchemist. His alchemy skills were indeed extraordinary, and since he was refining a pill of no grade, he quickly succeeded in refining the pill.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and flatter him, "What? He actually refined five pills, only one short of the full six. As expected of Master Yuan's grandson, truly extraordinary!"
"Yes, the quality of the pills is also top-notch. It seems Young Master Yuan's skill is already perfect. In time, he will surely break through to become a first-order alchemist!"
"That's right, let us congratulate Young Master Yuan first, and we hope that when Young Master Yuan breaks through to become a first-order alchemist, he will not forget us..."
Hearing the flattery, Yuan Tu immediately showed a proud and spirited look, looking at Ye Feng with a smug expression, "Heh heh, kid, see? This is true alchemy, not your dark and murky stuff!"
"Exactly, kid, learn from it. Young Master Yuan's is true alchemy, succeeding in one go, unlike you, who has refined so many times without success!"
"That's right, kid. I think you should give up early, lest you lose face..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng did not speak. He just turned to look at the refining of the remaining few people. At this time, the gap was immediately apparent.
Except for Yuan Tu, the remaining seven people almost all failed. Either the furnace exploded or some环节 went wrong, and none of them succeeded!
However, fortunately, it was only noon, and there was still some time before dark, so everyone still had a chance to try.
Next, everyone continued to refine pills, while Ye Feng continued to wait for He Shasha's arrival.
However, the more Ye Feng waited, the more his expression became uneasy, because he found that He Shasha had not come yet!
"What's going on? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Ye Feng looked puzzled. He took out his phone to call and inquire, but before he could dial, He Shasha's call came first.
"Hello Ye Feng, something unexpected happened. All the medicinal ingredients related to the Yang-strengthening Pill have been bought out by someone!" He Shasha's somewhat low voice sounded from the phone.
"What? They've all been bought out?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's expression was immediately shocked, and he asked, "What's going on? Weren't there still a lot when we went last night? Why are they gone?"
He Shasha shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but according to the people at the Alchemy Pavilion, the buyer should be from Wudang!"
"What? Wudang?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes widened, and his expression instantly became grim. It was actually someone from Wudang!
However, he didn't understand how the people from Wudang knew that the pill he was refining today was the Yang-strengthening Pill?
"Hmm? Is it him?"
Soon, Ye Feng thought of something and turned to look at Kang Qian, who was on the assessment stage. Only he could know the content of his assessment in advance.
He just didn't expect this guy to be so despicable, not only giving him the Yang-strengthening Pill, which was not inferior in difficulty to a first-order pill, but also leaking this information to Wudang...
