Chapter 524 Three Patterns
Han Xu himself knew that according to the rules, unless he could refine a three-line elixir of higher quality, he would lose the competition.
Even if he could refine a two-line elixir, he would be judged as a loser because it took longer than Su Yu.
Han Xu could not accept failure, so he had to refine a three-line elixir.
"I lost to you again." Yun Chen said to Su Yu, but there was no regret in his eyes.
Su Yu also knew Yun Chen's temperament very well. Yun Chen could be said to be a person who did not compete with the world. He had no desire to win or lose, but was simply interested in the way of alchemy.
"Let's spar again when we have time." Su Yu said, "With your talent, you will definitely surpass your father in the future."
Su Yu's evaluation can be said to be very high. Yun Chen's father is ranked second on the Alchemy Saint List.
But Su Yu's words were very arrogant, because his subtext meant that even if Yun Chen could surpass his father, he would still only be second, because he would be first.
But Yun Chen didn't care. He said, "I don't think you can win today."
"Oh?" Su Yu looked at the people who were still refining pills on the field. After his eyes stayed on Song Que for a while, they fell on Han Xu, "You mean Han Xu?"
"I don't know if he can surpass you, but I think he is not simple." Yun Chen said, perhaps because of his calm temperament and pure mind, he can judge people more accurately than ordinary people.
He can see the general situation of many people at a glance, and he can see something more or less from people with deep minds.
But he can't see through Han Xu at all. He always feels that Han Xu is shrouded in a thick fog, hiding the real him and preventing others from seeing him.
Su Yu said: "It is indeed not easy to have someone who can fuse the strange fire and control the fire so perfectly. He deserves the name of Daozi.
However, you should understand that alchemy is not just about the fire. You and I have been practicing alchemy since childhood to achieve this achievement. But as far as I know, Han Xu has many abilities, but alchemy is not one of them."
"But he has performed very well so far."
"You know very well that purification and melting liquid rely more on the strength of one's own mental power and control of fire. The real test of the understanding of alchemy is in the step of making the pill. If the pill cannot be made perfectly, no matter how well you do before, it will be in vain."
Yun Chen said nothing more and focused on Han Xu's actions.
At this time, Han Xu had successfully melted the liquid. In the Yama Cauldron, a fist-sized liquid was suspended, emitting wisps of pure power.
"Now!"
Han Xu had been using his mental power to observe the entire process of the fusion of the liquid medicine. When the power of all the liquid medicines just merged into one, Han Xu suddenly increased the Nanming Emperor Fire.
In an instant, the black Yama Cauldron was burned red, and the eyes of the nine dragon heads lit up red, as if a long roar sounded directly in everyone's heart. At this moment, a ferocious dragon head appeared in everyone's heart, with sharp fangs in front of them, and even the burning breath could be felt.
Then, black evil spirits rose from the Yama Cauldron, which was the unique evil spirit of the Yama Cauldron.
With the appearance of this evil spirit, the temperature around it, which had originally increased due to the use of fire by everyone, seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
In fact, the temperature did not drop, but this evil spirit made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
"This kid can actually exert the full power of the Yama Cauldron. It depends on whether he can suppress this cauldron. If he can suppress it, the evil spirit of the Yama Cauldron can become the best nutrient for the Wuji Pill." Song Yi said excitedly, and he didn't even look at his son Song Que again.
In the shock brought by Han Xu, Song Que finished refining the pill. Although he successfully made the pill, there was no pill pattern on the Wuji Pill he refined.
However, under the visual and psychological impact caused by Han Xu, people's attention was no longer on him.
Song Que walked silently to Yun Chen and Su Yu and said, "This kid is playing dumb. I feel like he has tricked me."
"It is still unknown whether it can be done. The evil spirit of the Yama Cauldron is not so easy to control." Su Yu stared at Han Xu and said, but his expression was no longer relaxed and confident as before.
What Su Yu said was true. The most important reason why the Yama Cauldron was difficult to control was not its nine fire ports, but its own evil spirit.
The Nanming Emperor Fire solidified the fused liquid medicine at the most appropriate moment. A thin film quickly formed on the surface of the liquid medicine, and it began to transform from liquid to solid.
It was at this time that the evil spirit of the Yama Cauldron was stimulated by the Nanming Emperor Fire and rushed towards the liquid medicine that was beginning to merge. If it was allowed to merge into it without stopping, the elixir would be contaminated by the evil spirit and destroyed.
At the same time when the evil spirit of the Yama Cauldron appeared, the Southern Ming Emperor Fire on Han Xu's body erupted again, and a noble and domineering aura suppressed it, and the shadow of the dragon Suzaku appeared behind Han Xu.
"A mere evil spirit dares to be presumptuous in front of me!" Han Xu's mind moved, and his aura suppressed the Yama Cauldron, and invisible ripples hit the Yama Cauldron.
Finally, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the black evil spirit released by the Yama Cauldron gradually disappeared.
Han Xu succeeded. The aura of the Southern Ming Emperor Fire can completely suppress the evil spirit in the Yama Cauldron and refine it into pure spiritual power.
This spiritual power will not cause any adverse effects on the already formed elixir, but will only enhance the medicinal power.
"He can actually suppress the Yama Cauldron!" Su Yu said in disbelief.
"This trip is really worthwhile." Yun Chen said. The reason why he left Wangxian Sect and came here was that he was curious and wanted to see if there was anyone who could subdue the Yama Cauldron. Unexpectedly, he really got what he wanted.
Song Que was speechless. He had ridiculed Han Xu before, and Han Xu clearly told him that he only knew a little about the way of alchemy.
What does this mean?
After suppressing the evil spirit of the Yama Cauldron, Han Xu's process of combining the pills went smoothly, and finally the pills were made.
The biggest test of making a pill is the understanding of the way of alchemy. The Su Wen Sutra downloaded by Han Xu is the best among all the people present.
Su Yu whispered, "No, if the purification step is lower than level 9.5, it is theoretically impossible to refine a three-patterned elixir."
Song Yi also said to his friends around him, "What a pity. If he can achieve more than 95% of the purification step, he will definitely be able to refine a three-patterned elixir. What a pity, what a pity."
In the Yama Cauldron, a round and smooth elixir was taking shape. At the same time, a domineering aura continued to emerge, condensing two elixir patterns on the elixir that was taking shape.
"Only two?" Han Xu muttered, "In that case, let's add some more ingredients and take a gamble."
A golden light rose from the Yama Cauldron, and Han Xu jumped up, rubbed his hands together, and a flame ignited in his palms, grabbing the first elixir he refined in his hand.
"I saw it, it's two patterns!" Su Yu said, with a sense of relief in his tone.
However, when Han Xu landed and spread his palms, the whole audience was shocked.
The Wu Ji Dan in his hand had three patterns.
