Hu Bugui, who came to watch the game, was a fifth-grade alchemist. He had been paying attention to Xuan Yuanhao's alchemy. He was full of confidence and believed that Xuan Yuanhao was very likely to advance to the finals and create the history of the Yunwu County and National Alchemy Association. However, he had a strong sense of elixir and soon discovered something strange. Xuan Yuanhao's alchemy furnace actually showed a subtle abnormal movement, and some unpredictable micro-expressions appeared on Xuan Yuanhao's face. Obviously, Xuan Yuanhao himself also discovered something strange about the alchemy furnace.

At this time, while Xuan Yuanhao was working hard on the alchemy furnace with both hands, he quickly released a wisp of spiritual consciousness, carefully observed the strangeness inside and outside the alchemy furnace, intending to find out the reason why the internal balance of the alchemy furnace was broken.

Finally, Xuan Yuanhao found a tiny crack inside the alchemy furnace. Although it had not completely cracked, the external pressure had already affected the crack, thus affecting the delicate balance in the alchemy furnace.

These eight alchemy furnaces are provided by Qingzhou Alchemy Association. They are all made of high-quality Tianxing iron and can withstand gravity and burning fire. How can such subtle cracks appear inside?

The strangeness of the previous two rounds of the game, Zhao Wuji's analysis, and Kitano's strange smile appeared before Xuan Yuanhao.

Obviously, if this was not a natural disaster, it was very likely to be a man-made disaster - someone deliberately made things difficult for Xuan Yuanhao.

At the critical moment, should Xuan Yuanhao sit and wait for death or fight back? Where should he go and how would he deal with it?

There is at least one stick of incense left before the alchemy is successful. If you hold on at this time, you will definitely not be able to defend it. Even if the alchemy furnace does not explode, the quality of the refined alchemy is of varying quality, and it is impossible to guarantee that you can advance to the finals.

After thinking, Xuan Yuanhao decided to take the risk and repair the alchemy furnace while refining the alchemy furnace.

Fortunately, Yan Ruyu has handed over the inheritance of Qixia's artifacts "Late-Grade" to Xuan Yuanhao, and has already understood the general refining techniques, methods, experience, characteristics and matching of various refining materials.

Because Xuan Yuanhao was busy practicing martial arts, and because the way of refining weapons was not overnight, he had to have the tenacity and perseverance that he had achieved in his youth, he did not devote his energy to refining weapons.

Therefore, although Xuan Yuanhao has rich theoretical knowledge, he lacks the opportunity to practice. The only practice is to refine some storage magic weapons.

Therefore, Xuan Yuanhao's decision really tasted a bit of a try.

Because the alchemy furnace is made of Tianxing Iron and is not afraid of ordinary fire, Xuan Yuanhao planned to risk being discovered and use fire control techniques to use a zimuth heavenly fire. While burning the alchemy furnace, he used the Earth Soul Xuan Stone, Nine Yang Jade, and Tianlei Sand he carried as a supplement, blend into the cracks, fill the cracks, and repair the alchemy furnace.

To this end, Xuan Yuanhao used one part of his spiritual consciousness, and used the seven-character alchemy formula with his right hand to continue to control the heat and alchemy furnace to ensure that the alchemy is progressing in an orderly manner; his left hand operated the fire control technique, and because a trace of Ziwei Tianhuo was integrated, he focused on tempering the cracks in the alchemy furnace. He planned to integrate the refined earthly soul Xuan stone, Nine Yang Jade, and Tianlei Sand into it at the moment when it was about to crack, in order to completely replenish the alchemy furnace.

However, the design is easy to execute, and the balance in the alchemy furnace has been destroyed. Xuan Yuanhao's spiritual consciousness is divided into two, so it is more difficult to control the alchemy furnace. Therefore, during the alchemy process, twenty-five pills could have been formed, but the formed pills were burned and burned one by one. There were only fifteen left...

At the same time, because Xuan Yuanhao lacked practical experience in refining weapons, he failed several times and could only start again.

After a few twists and turns, there were only eight spiritual pills left in the alchemy furnace.

Just when Xuan Yuanhao was exhausted, Kitano Xingchi was the first to complete the alchemy. He successfully refined the alchemy in one go, and he had twenty-three pieces in one furnace. Although he didn't know the final effect of enhancing spiritual power, it was definitely a good choice just from the perspective of shape, color, and elixir fragrance.

Soon, Youbaili, Feng Chuxue, Miao Feiyu and two other players from second-class counties and countries successfully refined the alchemy one after another, especially Youbaili, Feng Chuxue and Miao Feiyu. Although they did not prepare and rushed to fight, the quality of the alchemy was still satisfactory.

Seeing the burnt smell of spiritual pills coming from Xuan Yuanhao's elixir, Kitano Xingchi was a little gloating and said sarcastically, "I thought it was a monster that defied the heavens. It turned out to be just an embroidered pillow. After all, he was an alchemist from a low-level county and country. No matter how mud was supported, he couldn't get on the wall."

The other two second-class counties and states also secretly celebrated. After all, Xuan Yuanhao is their competitor, but it is not as obvious as it is.

You Baili and Miao Feiyu remained unmoved. They had never valued Xuan Yuanhao in their hearts, nor had they regarded Xuan Yuanhao as their competitor.

Feng Chuxue received help from Xuan Yuanhao in the previous design of the elixir recipe, so she was grateful and looked at Xuan Yuanhao with some confusion. In her opinion, Xuan Yuanhao's hands had obviously different movements, and it was obvious that he had encountered some problems.

Feng Chuxue prayed secretly in her heart, praying that the problem Xuan Yuanhao encountered could be solved easily, and that Xuan Yuanhao could successfully refine the alchemy in less than a quarter of the incense stick left.

Even Qin Yayan, who had always trusted Xuan Yuanhao unconditionally, had a slightly sweaty palm. Although she didn't know how to refine elixirs, she also knew that Xuan Yuanhao must have encountered huge trouble. At this time, Xuan Yuanhao must be fighting hard against difficulties, and success or failure was in a moment.

At this time, there were only three formed spiritual pills left in Xuan Yuanhao's alchemy furnace. If he could not quickly repair the alchemy furnace, these three spiritual pills would be destroyed in an instant.

Xuan Yuanhao used the Ziwei Tianhuo to burn it carefully outside the crack again, and at the same time carefully applied the Earth Soul Xuan Stone, Nine Yang Jade, and Tianlei Sand to the outside the crack in proportion, and controlled the heat...

Finally, hard work pays off. When Xuan Yuanhao heard a crisp sound again and another spiritual pill was burned and burned, the alchemy furnace was finally repaired successfully.

At this time, only ten breaths before the end of the entire game, Xuan Yuanhao also completed the "character condensation technique" in the seven-character alchemy technique, just waiting for the final collection of the pill.

Xuan Yuanhao flipped his hands quickly, and the alchemy furnace also rotated according to the instructions in front of him. Finally, amid the burnt smell, two fragrant spiritual pills came out of the furnace. The spiritual pill seemed to have spiritual intentions to escape. Xuan Yuanhao quickly used the "Catching Characters" and put it into a special jade box to prevent the elixir from escaping and loss of medicine.

With a "bang", the third round of the game just ended at this time.

Xuan Yuanhao let out a long sigh, sweating on his head. Just now, while refining the alchemy while repairing the alchemy furnace was a huge test for Xuan Yuanhao's spiritual sense and spiritual power. Fortunately, Xuan Yuanhao passed the test successfully. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy to pass the third round.

However, even though Xuan Yuanhao successfully refined the alchemy, he still suffered a great loss in the assessment of the number of alchemys.

During the pill test, the staff took out a spirit test bead, and the pill tester used the spirit test bead to test the spiritual power before and after taking the pill. It can easily test the spiritual power growth of the pill tester. Even if the tester wants to hide his strength and deliberately fake it, it is impossible. The spirit test bead will truly reflect the tester's true strength.

Before taking the spiritual pill, eight warriors at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm used spiritual power beads to evaluate their true spiritual power levels, and the staff recorded them in the book.

After that, the eight people took the elixir refined by the eight participating players at the same time. After two hours, they will test them one by one.

However, after one of them took Xuan Yuanhao's spiritual pill, the spiritual power contained in the spiritual pill quickly penetrated into the warrior's dantian and meridians. Suddenly, a ball of black smoke suddenly emerged from the warrior's dantian, swallowing up most of the spiritual power contained in the spiritual pill.

However, not to mention being an outsider, even this warrior did not notice any strange phenomena in it.

The first spiritual pill refined by Youbaili from Youxia County was tested.

After one stick of incense, the pill tester gently held the spirit test bead in the palm of his hand, and the spirit test bead automatically operated. The spirit test bead emitted a purple light, and the spiritual power of the pill tester actually increased by 10%. Even the nine referees could not help but nodded repeatedly. Obviously, they were very satisfied with the spirit pill refined by Youbaili.

You Baili himself was also very satisfied and couldn't help but feel full of spring breeze. He had 100% confidence in his ability to advance to the finals.

He was originally qualified to participate in the competition ten years ago, but he voluntarily gave up this rare qualification because he devoted himself to developing a pill recipe.

Now, after ten years of polishing, his seventh-grade alchemist has a very solid foundation. As long as he is by chance, he may advance to the sixth-grade alchemist at any time.

What You Baili needs is to win more thoroughly, be more convincing and more dazzling.

But the surprise is still coming.

After taking the spiritual pill refined by Feng Chuxue from Liefeng County, the second elixir tester held the spirit test bead in his hand. The purple light emitted by the spirit test bead was even purer, and the spiritual power growth rate was as high as 11%, which was one percentage point higher than Youbaili.

Feng Chuxue threw a grateful glance at Xuan Yuanhao. Feng Chuxue had absolute confidence in his alchemy talent, but because of his average martial arts talent, he is only at the fourth level of the foundation building realm. When he was designing a pill recipe, he was unsustainable because his spiritual sense was difficult to sustain, and fortunately Xuan Yuanhao helped him.

Xuan Yuanhao smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing that You Baili and Feng Chuxue's test scores were higher than each other, Miao Feiyu felt a little upset and was a little inexplicably panicked. His guaranteed goal was to enter the twelve finals, and the highest goal was to reach the top six.

Seeing the test results, Miao Feiyu's heart was finally relieved, and his spiritual power growth reached 8%. Although it was not particularly good, there should be no big problem in advancing to the finals.

The most calm person was Kitano Xingchi of Canglan County. His pill recipe was determined by the president of the County and State Alchemy Association and others, and the efficacy of the medicine was also tested. Although he was unable to find a fine test of such a spiritual test bead, the effect should not be too bad.

As the spirit test beads emit purple light, the results showed that the growth rate of spiritual power actually reached 8% and tied for third place with Miao Feiyu.

Although there is a big gap from the expected results, it is already on par with Miao Feiyu, who has been famous for a long time from the first-class county, Qianhan County, and is also a good result. There is no problem with advancing to the finals. It is estimated that it will be very difficult for those who come to the future to increase their spiritual power by more than 7%.

In fact, when Canglan County and State visited President Zhao Nankui, although Zhao Nankui vaguely revealed the second round of test questions, he also left one hand and only revealed the names of one hundred of the medicinal materials. The remaining twenty more critical medicinal materials were not disclosed, which was used to test Kitano Seichi's background and on-site response ability.

Out of a calm mind, Kitano Seichi adopted the pill recipe prepared in advance and did not incorporate new medicinal materials, which led to the limitation of the increase in spiritual power.

However, the three people behind were all from second-class counties and states, and the amount of spiritual power increased by the three refined elixirs did not exceed 7%.

Only the warriors who took the elixir refined by Xuan Yuanhao have not tested it yet, but it seems that the people watching the battle have automatically ignored him. They all agreed that the promotion list of this group must be You Baili, Feng Chuxue, Miao Feiyu and Kitano Xingchi.

Hu Bugui was also a little uneasy. Although he trusted Xuan Yuanhao's refining qualifications and abilities very much, and he himself benefited a lot from Xuan Yuanhao, he was also a little worried after seeing Xuan Yuanhao's almost all-round relationships during the alchemy process, and the top seven people, especially the top four people, who achieved great achievements.

The last alchemy tester stepped forward and held the spirit test bead in his hand.

The spirit test bead soon emitted a negotiated light, heading straight to the bright purple, but after a little stay in the purple stage, it returned to the golden color. Then it wandered up and down between purple and golden color for a while, and finally remained in the golden color.

The spiritual power growth rate was finally determined to be three percent, ranking last among all eight contestants.

Xuan Yuanhao looked at the spirit test bead with some disbelief. This was absolutely impossible. Even though there was a problem with the alchemy furnace during the alchemy process, it almost failed, which affected the effectiveness of the alchemy. However, despite this, Xuan Yuanhao was still very confident that the growth rate of spiritual power would definitely be more than 10%.

Hu Bugui, Zhao Wuji, Qin Yayan and others all looked at Xuan Yuanhao with some regret. They naturally believed that the strange phenomenon that had just occurred during the alchemy process led to problems with the alchemy refined by Xuan Yuanhao.

According to the comprehensive written test weighing of the three links of the players' configuration of pill recipes, alchemy and elixir effects, the nine referees finally gave the results of the third round of the competition and the promotion list after a long discussion.

The first place is the wind blowing snow in Cangfeng County, and the second place is the Youbaili in Youxia County.

The top two places have been approved by nine referees, without any objection.

The third place is Miao Feiyu from Qianhan County and the fourth place is Kitano Xingchi from Canglan County.

The referees have a lot of controversy about the rankings of these two people. The spiritual pills refined by Miao Feiyu and Kitano Seichi have the same growth rate of spiritual power, but Miao Feiyu's pill recipe is better than Kitano Seichi, and Kitano Seichi's familiarity with the alchemy is better than Miao Feiyu, so there is a lot of debate about who ranked third and who ranked fourth. In the end, he adopted a voting method, and Miao Feiyu narrowly won with a slight advantage of five to four.

There is no dispute about the ranking of the next four. Three players from second-class counties and states ranked fifth to seventh respectively, and Xuan Yuanhao ranked last.

Of course, a referee also suggested that the pill recipe designed by Xuan Yuanhao is the best among the eight people, but the pill is not effective due to errors in the alchemy process and should not be ranked last.

However, the other eight referees believed that the alchemy refined by Xuan Yuanhao had the worst increase in spiritual power, and the alchemy process was also full of phenomena, and they almost failed. The ranking between fifth and seventh is likely to cause controversy.

The above analysis is not unreasonable, and it cannot advance to the finals anyway, so the referee did not stick to his opinion.

The chief referee read out the promotion list, "I announce that the promotion lists of this group are Feng Chuxue, You Baili, Miao Feiyu and Kitano..."

"Chief referee, I have something to say!" Just as the referee was about to read out the last promotion list, a sudden voice sounded out of time, interrupting the referee's words and causing sudden changes on the scene.

The referee looked at Xuan Yuanhao inexplicably.

"Chief referee, the disciple has objection to the test results of the spirit pill. The disciple firmly believes that the increase in the spiritual power of the spiritual pill refined by the disciple is more than 5%. Therefore, the disciple has objection to the test results."

"But, the Spirit Testing Beads will not lie. The test results show that it is indeed only 5% and ranks at the end of the eight contestants." The referee was not angry, but just described the facts again.

"Chief referee, the disciple has objections to this warrior who has taken the disciple to refine the spirit pill. There must be some misunderstandings or hidden information. The disciple has some accidents during the refining process, which leads to the damage of the spirit pill, and eventually two pills are made. However, the disciple is confident in the configuration of the pill formula and the refined pill. The disciple requests to test another pill. If the spiritual power increase is less than 10%, the disciple is willing to accept any punishment."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. What is the concept of no less than 10%. The elixir refined by Youbaili happened to increase the amplification effect of spiritual power, which means that Xuan Yuanhao believed that the elixir he refined was even stronger than Youbaili.

You Baili is a long-famous seventh-grade alchemist from a first-class county and state, while Xuan Yuanhao is just from a fourth-class county and state. He is less than twenty years old and has no reputation. Is this possible?

The referee was a little hesitant. Since the Qingzhou Alchemy Competition was held, there has never been a contestant questioning the judgment result; but if it is true that the spiritual pill he refined has increased by no less than 10%, it is definitely a genius among geniuses, not to mention that this genius is just a contestant from the fourth-class county and state.

After thinking for a while, the referee made up his mind, "I can give you a chance. If you persist in the challenge, once the second test of the pills does not increase by more than 10%, I will cancel your results in this competition. Are you willing?"

Xuan Yuanhao has entered the top 24, which can be said to be a very good result. If Xuan Yuanhao insists on challenging, once the challenge fails, the competition results will be cancelled. All previous efforts will be turned into a flow of water. It can be said that the gain is not worth the loss, and the risk of the challenge is very great.

But Xuan Yuanhao said firmly, "Disciple is willing."
Chapter completed!
