64 Condensed Dan (Third Watch)
"How is it possible, little brother, to refine three hundred portions of elixir materials at once?"
Li Ao was shocked and amazed when he heard about Chu Xiao's situation, although he knew that his teacher had always praised Chu Xiao, even saying that he had the potential to become a Grandmaster in the future. However, his junior brother was only a third-rate alchemist, and it was impossible for him to refine 300 portions of Spirit Nourishing Pills at once.
Even he found it extremely difficult to refine three hundred doses of Nourishing Spirit Pills.
He couldn't help but shake his head, shifting his attention to Chu Xiao's alchemy platform. Whether he succeeded or not, the fact that he could persist for so long was already something to be proud of.
"This guy is too abnormal, even if he's pretending to be a pig eating a tiger. But Brother said his strength is at most that of a 6th or 7th rank alchemy master, it's absolutely impossible for him to refine 300 portions of alchemy materials in one go. Could it be that Brother has misjudged? Damn it, if you can really succeed in refining, I, Wei Changqing, will truly acknowledge you."
Wei Changqing had an experience last time and didn't dare to underestimate Chu Xiao at all.
Many alchemists showed a mocking and ridiculing expression, in their view, a small third-grade alchemist also wanted to refine three hundred portions, which was simply a joke.
Of course, there were also many skilled alchemists who saw through the trick and their faces changed from disdain to solemnity.
"Brother Yuan, this Chu Xiao, if his alchemy level wasn't too low and his cultivation wasn't so poor, he would probably be a formidable opponent!"
Zha Dao Ling said to Yuan Chang Sheng, who was also a 9th-grade alchemist.
Although he saw that Chu Xiao's talent for alchemy was extremely strong, some clues revealed during the alchemy process made him aware that Chu Xiao had many shortcomings, such as his cultivation level, alchemy grade, and spiritual intent. No matter how great a person's talent is, once they have these shortcomings, the impact on their alchemy will be immeasurable.
So, Zha Dao Ling didn't think that Chu Xiao could pose a threat to him. He even thought that it was uncertain whether he could complete the alchemy process in the end. Even if he were lucky enough to succeed, the final success rate would not be too high.
It's not just him who has such thoughts, but almost all alchemists, even the many guests on stage and the masters themselves.
At the moment when countless eyes were focused outside, Chu Xiao was completely unaware of the situation outside and his mind was still in a state of tranquility, with only one thought, that is to refine the elixir.
This idea has been carried out throughout the alchemy process, from start to finish. He had no other thoughts, not even thinking about what would happen if he failed or succeeded. All memories seemed to have been erased, leaving only the memory of alchemy.
The medicinal properties of the 300 doses of Nourishing Spirit Pills have been perfectly combined and are now ready for the next step - Condensing the Pill.
Dan condensation seems simple, just through the corresponding Dan array, you can control the fusion of medicinal properties to condense into a pill.
But the simpler it is, the more it reveals the mystery, and the more it can reflect the alchemist's level.
The quality of the Dan is also affected by the quality of the cinnabar.
If it is a high-level alchemist, he can directly cast the Condensing Dan Method.
For a Qi-refining stage alchemist like Chu Xiao, it's unlikely to be possible, and must go through the Condensing Dan Great Formation on the dan furnace to complete this step.
Under Chu Xiao's spiritual control, the Dan furnace's Condensing Dan array finally started operating.
In an instant, a strong suction force suddenly descended upon the thoroughly merged Spiritual Essence Dan liquid. This is the power of Condensing Dan, which must be controlled with precision, otherwise it will affect the medicinal properties. After all, before condensation, the dan liquid was not very stable and was easily affected by external factors.
However, Chu Xiao's control over the condensation process through the Xianyuan system has almost reached a state of perfection, and even the fusion of medicinal properties can be perfectly successful, let alone the small matter of condensing dan.
That strand of Condensing Dan's power didn't directly descend onto the Nurturing Spirit Dan liquid, but instead grazed along its edge and slid past, just like a silkworm shedding its cocoon. It moved in an extremely mysterious trajectory, and every time it did, one Nurturing Spirit Dan would successfully condense, while the remaining Nurturing Spirit Dan liquid wasn't affected at all by the Condensing Dan's power, remaining perfectly stable.
Generally speaking, the power of Condensing Dan has a great impact on Dan liquid. It's not just a direct blow to Dan liquid, and a slight carelessness may lead to the consequence of exploding the furnace.
This liquid may seem insignificant, but it is full of powerful energy, just like gunpowder. Once its instability is triggered, it will set off a chain reaction.
Chu Xiao has now completed the condensation process through his exquisite control of the Condensing Dan's power, without affecting the dan liquid in any way. This method is almost only achievable by grandmasters, but it has now appeared on Chu Xiao's body.
If someone were to examine it with a discerning eye, they would surely be astonished beyond measure.
A round and jade-like dan medicine condensed into being, was drawn by an invisible force, and fell into a special storage space for dan.
After more than ten minutes, the last Spirit Consolidating Pill was successfully condensed. As soon as Chu Xiao's mind stirred, the power of the pill dissipated into nothingness.
Chu Xiao's face finally revealed a relaxed smile, but his forehead was covered in sweat. He had been so focused that he hadn't even noticed, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Finally arrived at the last step, collecting cinnabar.
Suddenly, Chu Xiao's face turned solemn, and he lightly slapped a palm on an array of the Dan furnace. The entire Dan furnace shook violently, emitting a low humming sound, followed by a burst of air carrying a strong medicinal fragrance. This was the necessary release of energy after completing the alchemy, to reduce the pressure inside the Dan furnace.
With the help of this pressure difference, the spiritual elixir stored in the storage space also sprayed out from a special outlet and fell into a special inspection dish.
...．
At this time, many guests and alchemists who were concerned about Chu Xiao's refining of the elixir all lifted their spirits, wanting to see this most critical moment clearly.
"Heavens! This is... He succeeded, this is Dan Qi, a Dan Qi that can only be obtained after successfully refining the elixir."
"It's truly unbelievable, he actually succeeded in refining it! Three hundred portions of elixir materials, and yet he managed to refine them successfully - this is simply a miracle!"
"It's all about his success rate now, but being able to spout out such a high level of spiritual energy, the success rate shouldn't be too low."
"Not bad, the more Dan Qi, the more Nourishing Spirit Pills."
"It's really exciting, I wonder how many Spirit Nourishing Pills he can refine?"
"Look, the Spirit Nourishing Pill is spouting out of the furnace! Five pills, fifteen pills... fifty pills, sixty pills, heavens! It's still spouting!"
"It's already shot out over 150 grains! Good heavens, I'm not seeing things, am I?!"
........．
Everyone stared at the Dan furnace as it continuously spat out Spirit Nourishing Pills, their eyes filled with incredulous gazes.
Some alchemists were deeply shocked and almost fainted.
Many people on the stands stood up directly and even ran down from the stands into the alchemy arena.
