Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 359 The Difficult Final Round

Although they said that this pill was difficult to refine and impossible to succeed, Lu Yu and Ling Tianqing didn't fall behind even for half a second when the competition started.

Looking at their calm and composed demeanor, one would think they were refining Qi-replenishing pills.

The two of them quickly started refining pills, and the competition heated up right from the beginning.

After they finished refining pills, the spectators in the audience were all shocked.

"This is a Heaven-grade pill. Isn't their speed a bit too exaggerated?"

"It seems like they were hiding their true strength in the previous matches. They're amazing."

"The disciples of the Medicine King Valley didn't lose unjustly. Even if they can make it to the final round, they probably won't win."

The disciples of the Medicine King Valley were all watching from the stands. Hearing the discussions around them, their faces were filled with shame.

Before the competition started, they all thought that winning the championship was a sure thing.

But now that they've actually competed, they realized how ignorant they were.

"I'm not as good as them. I lost fairly!"

Gu Liu, who was now no longer holding his head high, covered his face with a straw hat.

The Grand Elder, on the other hand, remained calm despite seeing his disciples being disheartened.

When his disciples were in the Medicine King Valley, they thought they were the best. It was only after they came out and competed against these experts from the outside world that they realized there will always be someone better.

The Grand Elder believed that after this failure, they would all work hard to cultivate and improve their overall strength.

Lu Yu, who was competing on the stage, didn't think about all of this. He didn't care whether the disciples of the Medicine King Valley could improve their strength or not.

He was currently fully focused on refining the Heavenly Heart Pill.

Even if this competition didn't happen, he planned to start preparing for refining this pill.

After this period of cultivation, his strength had reached the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage, and he was on the verge of forming his Core.

After the competition, he would be able to refine a large number of Red Pills. It would probably only take a few months to reach the peak of the Foundation Building stage.

Forming the Core was a qualitative change for a cultivator.

The Foundation Building stage could only be considered as an entry into the world of cultivation. It was only when one reached the Gold Core stage that they could truly establish themselves in the cultivation world.

Looking at those prestigious sects, they were mostly composed of cultivators in the Gold Core stage. As for the Foundation Building stage, they were either disciples or servants.

For now, Lu Yu could barely manage with his alchemy skills, and he could easily obtain the resources he needed.

But how many alchemists like him were there in the entire cultivation world?

Even though his strength was not bad, he still had to rely on the Greedy Wolf Pavilion.

On the martial arts stage, Lu Yu first processed the materials, and then slowly condensed them into medicinal liquid to officially start refining pills.

The difficulty of refining a Heaven-grade pill was on a completely different level compared to an Earth-grade pill.

When he finished processing the materials and was about to remove the impurities, he found that these so-called impurities were quite stubborn.

Even if he raised the temperature of the pill furnace to the extreme, the refining speed was still quite slow.

"It's really a slow process. It seems that I need to improve my strength as much as possible if I want to refine Heaven-grade pills."

Although there wouldn't be any major problems with the refining process, controlling the various materials in the pill furnace was still a laborious task.

While refining pills, he turned his head and glanced at Ling Tianqing beside him.

Ling Tianqing's strength was also in the late Foundation Building stage, and his refining technique was not much different from Lu Yu's.

Lu Yu took a look at his refining process and found that he didn't seem to be at ease either.

"No wonder he comes from a big family. His alchemy technique is amazing. If those disciples from the Medicine King Valley were here, they would have exploded the furnace long ago."

Lu Yu nodded involuntarily after reading it.

The difficulty of refining the Heaven Tier pill at the Foundation Building stage can be imagined.

While they were refining the pill, several disciples from the Greedy Wolf Pavilion came to report to their sect master.

"Reporting to the sect master, all preparations are ready."

"Good, now we just need the Heavenly Heart Pill!"

The sect master of the Greedy Wolf Pavilion glanced down and casually tapped his finger on the chair.

The Heavenly Heart Pill is really difficult to refine. Several senior alchemists from the Greedy Wolf Hall have failed in their experiments.

Now all hope rests on these two young alchemists. The sect master also felt a bit uncertain.

Just as his subordinates were reporting the preparation situation to him, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the competition stage.

"Buzz..."

Lu Yu's and Ling Tianqing's pill furnaces shook violently almost at the same time.

This is a sign of an explosion!

Seeing this situation, the surrounding audience became anxious.

"It's over, it's over, the furnaces are going to explode!"

"Heh, I told you the Heaven Tier pill is not so easy to refine. They only have the strength of the Foundation Building stage, I'm afraid their furnaces will explode soon."

"The pressure generated by the Heaven Tier pill is quite strong. With their current strength, they probably can't suppress it. An explosion is inevitable."

Seeing the pill furnaces shaking, all the audience members started to doubt whether these two could successfully refine the Heavenly Heart Pill.

What they cared about now was who would explode first.

Both furnaces would be more impressive if one could hold on a little longer.

They didn't expect the final competition to end in this way.

On the competition stage, Lu Yu's temples were already sweating.

This was his first attempt at refining a Heaven Tier pill.

He knew before that refining a Heaven Tier pill was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult.

Now the materials in the pill furnace have been extracted, and all that's left is to refine them into the required pills.

But this seemingly simple process is much more difficult than imagined.

Because the liquid in the furnace is not obediently staying inside.

The liquid in the furnace now seems to have been forcibly compressed into a gaseous state.

It is only because of Lu Yu's suppression of spiritual power that these liquids can barely maintain their liquid state. Once the pressure he applies weakens, these liquids will quickly evaporate.

So he must constantly output spiritual power to compress these liquids and ensure that they are evenly heated in the furnace.

How can the liquid of the Heaven Tier pill be so easily suppressed? The more the liquid is refined, the greater the external pressure, and the more spiritual power Lu Yu and Ling Tianqing must output.

At this point, it is a test of the endurance of both sides.

If they were alchemists at the Gold Core stage, it would be a simple matter to suppress the pressure of these liquids.

But now they are only at the Foundation Building stage!

Refining pills at a higher realm, both of them are under tremendous pressure.

"Dang dang dang..."

The pill furnaces of the two of them went from slight shaking at the beginning to violent shaking later.

If it weren't for the fact that both pill furnaces were of the treasure level and made of ordinary steel, they would have shattered long ago.
