Chapter 1431: Successive Failures

Remember in one second []

After a moment, Chen Ping had placed all the medicinal materials he had left in front of him in different categories.

There were ten medicinal materials in total. Although he could only refine three pills in the competition, that was the time required for the complete refining.

Chen Ping naturally did not dare to take it lightly. After all, when refining pills in front of so many people, Chen Ping had to use the alchemy techniques of the demon race, and he must not let people see the shadow of the human race refining pills.

In this way, Chen Ping was not 100% sure that he could succeed in refining at one time, so he specially prepared a few more medicinal materials.

After seeing the level of the medicinal materials Chen Ping took out, Elder Qiu's face suddenly sank slightly.

Because he found that all the medicinal materials prepared by Chen Ping were actually of the eighth grade, which meant that Chen Ping was determined to refine the eighth grade pills, leaving no way out for himself.

However, seeing that Chen Ping actually took out ten medicinal materials, Elder Qiu's mouth suddenly curled up a few sneers.

In the opinion of Elder Qiu, if Chen Ping could really refine 10 pills in three days, it would only prove that all these 10 times of refining pills failed, so preparing so many medicinal materials would be useless.

This also means that Chen Ping's confidence in refining the eighth-grade pill does not seem to be too high.

If Chen Ping failed to refine the pill ten times, even if Elder Qiu only refined a first-grade pill, he could win this alchemy competition.

However, Elder Qiu would not be so unsophisticated. The medicinal materials he prepared were only five in total.

Three of them were eighth-grade medicinal materials, and the other two were seventh-grade peak.

If all these five medicinal materials were successfully refined, then naturally two seventh-grade peak pills and three eighth-grade pills could be refined.

Elder Qiu's idea was to refine the eighth-grade pill first. If the confidence in refining the eighth-grade pill was not too great, then there would still be enough time to refine two seventh-grade pills in the remaining time.

After all, Elder Qiu is an eighth-grade alchemist, and it will not take a whole day to refine a seventh-grade elixir.

After seeing Elder Qiu's preparations, Chen Ping just chuckled and ignored it, quietly adjusting the spiritual energy in his body.

After half an hour,

with a light cough from Shopkeeper Xu, the two people who were closing their eyes and regulating their breath suddenly opened their eyes, and their eyes were full of brilliance.

Shopkeeper Xu smiled casually and said, "You two, the time has come, you can start refining the elixir."

Elder Qiu and Chen Ping did not give any response, because at this moment, the two of them had already put all their attention on their respective alchemy furnaces in front of them.

These two alchemy furnaces suddenly appeared from the space rings of the two people, and everyone watching below could immediately see some differences from the two alchemy furnaces.

As an eighth-grade alchemist, the alchemy furnace prepared by Elder Qiu is indeed of extraordinary quality, at least in this country of ten thousand monsters, it can be regarded as a high-quality existence.

This eighth-grade alchemy furnace alone is equivalent to an eighth-grade weapon. It was made by an eighth-grade weapon refiner.

In order to build this eighth-grade alchemy furnace, Elder Qiu also paid a lot of money.

The entire alchemy furnace is light green and looks magnificent.

Although it is only half a person's height, it faintly reveals a sense of heaviness and looks very good.

But when looking at Chen Ping's alchemy furnace, almost everyone who saw it was slightly stunned.

Because the alchemy furnace in front of Chen Ping was only up to Chen Ping's knees, and it was pitch black and looked extremely ugly.

The alchemy furnace had been burned black by the flames, and it was even impossible to see the original appearance of the alchemy furnace. It seemed that it was just an ordinary furnace used by a country family.

Chen Ping himself did not feel anything, but Shopkeeper Xu on the high platform had a helpless look in his eyes.

Although the quality of the alchemy furnace cannot determine the level of an alchemist, it can improve the success rate of the alchemist's alchemy to a certain extent.

Especially for high-level alchemists, if there is no assistance from the alchemy furnace, the success rate of refining pills will naturally be greatly reduced.

Just like Elder Qiu at the moment, although Elder Qiu is also an eighth-grade alchemist, and has been promoted to the current level for nearly ten years, he is a well-known alchemy master in Qingshan Mansion.

Although he has not reached the peak level of the eighth grade, he is also a well-known figure.

However, even so, if there is no assistance from the alchemy furnace, and only an ordinary alchemy furnace is used, Elder Qiu's success rate in refining the eighth-grade pill may be less than 20%.

And if there is this eighth-grade alchemy furnace in Elder Qiu's hand, then Elder Qiu's success rate in refining the eighth-grade pill is enough to be as high as more than 30%.

It can be seen from this that a high-level alchemy furnace is so important to an alchemist.

But the alchemy furnace in front of Chen Ping at this moment did not have any spiritual energy. Even with the eyesight of Shopkeeper Xu, he could only judge that this alchemy furnace was just an ordinary one.

At most, it was of the fifth or even sixth grade.

For an eighth-grade alchemist, this level of alchemy furnace was almost impossible to improve their success rate in alchemy. If they wanted to successfully refine the elixir, they could only rely on the alchemist's own level.

However, Manager Xu did not say a word at this time.

^0^    Remember for one second【】

Instead, he waved his arm and directly covered the entire suspended high platform.

This translucent spiritual light shield did not have much defensive effect. The only effect it could play was to block the sound unilaterally.

From this moment on, the sound from the outside world could not be transmitted to the high platform at all. However, the sound from the high platform could be faintly transmitted.

In this way, it was considered to provide a good alchemy environment for the two alchemists.

At the same time, Chen Ping and Elder Qiu also began to put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, input waves of spiritual energy, and began to refine the medicinal materials.

As the two alchemists on the high platform started to work at the same time, waves of discussions also sounded in the Qingshan Mansion below.

The focus of the discussion was the ridicule of the alchemy furnace in front of Chen Ping.

Although they did not dare to laugh at Chen Ping's alchemy skills, after all, they had not seen how good Chen Ping's alchemy level was.

However, as an alchemist, he could only use such a low-quality alchemy furnace, so they did have reason to laugh.

For human alchemists, refining pills is not a long-term task. As long as they are proficient, it may only take a few minutes to refine pills.

However, for demon alchemists, due to the different methods of refining pills, the time of refining pills seems long and boring.

Although it is a life-and-death battle, after watching for a whole half day, the spectators below still gradually shifted their attention.

Only when the two people encounter twists and turns in refining pills will they attract the attention of a large number of people.

After a whole half day, Chen Ping and Elder Qiu have each failed once.

However, after the failure, Chen Ping did not pay attention to Elder Qiu on the opposite side, but pondered for a moment, and then started refining again.

Elder Qiu looked up at the situation on Chen Ping's side and found that Chen Ping had also failed once, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed little by little, and Shopkeeper Xu on the high platform did not make any sound from beginning to end.

However, Shopkeeper Xu did not pay too much attention to the process of the two people refining the pill.

The same was true for the other spectators. Only when the two were very close to completing the pill refining would they be fully focused.

After two full days, Chen Ping and Elder Qiu had failed three times each.

Chen Ping still had a few materials for the eighth-grade pill, but Elder Qiu only had materials for the seventh-grade pill.

However, this time, Elder Qiu did not care at all. He just sneered at Chen Ping opposite him and started to refine the seventh-grade peak pill without hesitation.

In Elder Qiu's opinion, Chen Ping has not yet reached the level of an eighth-grade alchemist, and the probability of success in refining an eighth-grade pill is too low.

And there is only one day left. Even if Chen Ping only fails once, the remaining time is definitely not enough for Chen Ping to successfully refine an eighth-grade pill.

On the contrary, I can try to refine the seventh-grade peak pill twice in a whole day.

And Elder Qiu's success rate and time in refining the seventh-grade peak pill are definitely more than enough.

So according to Elder Qiu's prediction, after a day, I can at least take out a seventh-grade peak pill, and Chen Ping will definitely get nothing.

If Chen Ping wants to win, then he must ensure success in refining the eighth-grade pill for the fourth time.

But even an eighth-grade alchemist cannot refine an eighth-grade pill without any mistakes.

It is not so easy to ensure success.

In this way, Elder Qiu's confidence in winning the final victory has almost reached 99%.

Not only Elder Qiu judged so, even Shopkeeper Xu on the high platform, and even some big figures in the city, sighed in their hearts.

They can see that Chen Ping's level of refining pills is actually not much different from Elder Qiu.

After all, the two failed three times each in two days, and the time spent and the progress of refining the pills were almost the same. Chen Ping was even faster than Elder Qiu.

In other words, at least Chen Ping's level of refining pills was not inferior to Elder Qiu, but Chen Ping seemed too conceited, so he did not prepare the materials for refining the seventh-grade pills.

Now it seems that Chen Ping is almost certain to lose.

However, they did not expect that Chen Ping at this moment did not pay attention to anyone else's thoughts at all, and even completely ignored that this was an alchemy competition, but was completely immersed in the state of refining pills.

Because in the process of refining pills in these two days, Chen Ping has always used the alchemy methods of the demon race.

Before this, Chen Ping had always looked down on the methods of the demon race to refine pills. After all, compared with the methods of human pills, the two are really far apart.

Moreover, Chen Ping also has the inheritance of Shennong, the first alchemy master in ancient and modern times, and he really looks down on the crude alchemy methods of the demon race.

However, after two days of refining experience, Chen Ping suddenly found that although the demon clan's alchemy method seemed crude, it also had some merits.

At least in some aspects, it could give Chen Ping some inspiration.

If he is more familiar with the alchemy methods of the demon race, perhaps Chen Ping can completely rely on the strength of the fifth level of the golden elixir,

^0^    Remember [】

successfully refine an eighth-grade elixir.

It is not impossible to refine an eighth-grade peak-level elixir.

Although in this life-threatening alchemy competition, trying to integrate human alchemy methods into the alchemy methods of the demon race is definitely a risky thing, and it is likely to lead to another failure of alchemy.

But Chen Ping did not realize this at all at this moment. He even forgot that this was a process of alchemy competition. All he thought about in his mind was the collision of the alchemy methods of two different races.

Dear, this chapter is over. I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
