Did No. 49 fail?

  "I'm telling you, bro, are you sure you want to challenge me? Heaven's sake, the lowest level alchemy equipment, you're not joking with me, right?"

  Wei Changqing was the 'Future Alchemy Master', as soon as he appeared in the Challenge Hall, seeing the alchemy room opposite him, his eyes almost popped out.

  He had a feeling of being ridiculed, a third-grade alchemy apprentice using the lowest-level alchemy equipment to challenge himself, a fifth-grade alchemy apprentice, wasn't this absurd?

  "Hehe, will I use so many professional points to joke with you?"

  Chu Xiao sized up his opponent, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his gaze was spirited, but revealed a domineering air, one look and you could tell he was that kind of self-centered person.

  "Whatever, if you want to play, I'll play with you. As a grown-up, I have plenty of patience. Challenge Danfeng, the choice is yours!"

  Wei Changqing felt a bit unenthusiastic and bland, even if it was a cruel thing to do, he estimated that there wouldn't be any pleasure in it, in his opinion, winning would be easy.

  "Random Danfeng!"

  Chu Xiao also saw that the other party did not take himself seriously, smiled and immediately said to the referee.

  "Respected two spiritual players, this time the challenge is to refine the human-grade superior Pellet Dan. The competition rules are as follows: within one hour, refine 50 portions of Pellet Dan materials, and anyone who exceeds the time limit will be deemed a failure. The winner will be determined by refining time, success rate, and pellet quality."

  As the wonderful Ling You hint sounded, in front of Chu Xiao, a jade slip suddenly appeared, which was the Dan Fang of Pei Yuan Dan.

  Chu Xiao had refined the Pei Yuan Dan, which wasn't anything special, but refining fifty sets of materials within an hour was extremely difficult. It seemed that challenging a two-rank higher alchemy apprentice would indeed increase the difficulty, as expected from the system.

  "Good luck, buddy!"

  Across from him, Wei Changqing laughed out loud when he saw the competition rules. For a Dan-making apprentice of his level, this was nothing. In the last competition, he had successfully made fifty Human-grade Round Dream Pills in one attempt, which was considered a high-difficulty feat, and ultimately won the competition with a success rate of 90%. This time's Pei Yuan Pill was only a Human-grade Superior pill, and he was confident that he could make fifty pills in one attempt.

  But for Shen Xiao, a third-grade alchemy apprentice, it was an impossible task.

  He easily and carefreely handled the materials for fifty Pellet Dan.

  Chu Xiao heard the teasing in Wei Changqing's tone and didn't say anything, starting to process the materials instead.

  A dozen or so onlookers in the audience began to discuss it among themselves.

  "No way, refining fifty pellets of Peiyuan Dan in an hour? I'm a third-grade alchemist, and even if it's just five pellets, I estimate it would be difficult to complete."

  "This kid is doomed, he actually chose a random danfeng."

  "The future alchemy master will definitely be able to complete it with ease. Guess, how many Peiyuan Dan can this person refine within an hour?"

  "I reckon he can't even refine a single Peiyuan Dan, unless he's prepared to spend a lot of time on it. Even then, I doubt he could do it in just one hour, or even twenty-four hours for that matter."

  .....．

  Almost no one looked good on Chu Xiao, after all, the gap in professional level was there, let alone the alchemy equipment was too trash.

  He refined fifty pellets of Peiyuan Dan at once, which was definitely impossible with Chu Xiao's current level of magical power. However, before the challenge, he spent 100 profession points to buy a high-grade Yuan Jade from the Lingyou system, which could support his magical power consumption during the refining process.

  So Chu Xiao still wanted to try refining fifty Pellet Yuan Dan at once.

  The Lingyou system, while determining the winner, also has a comprehensive strength assessment for each player, which determines the ranking. This involves many aspects, and if Chu Xiao can successfully refine all the Peiyuan Dan at once, it will undoubtedly improve the system's strength assessment by one level.

  Quickly processing all the spiritual medicine materials, Chu Xiao began the most important alchemy.

  However, the audience below shifted their attention to Wei Changqing. For them, being able to watch a fifth-grade alchemy apprentice refine pills was an extremely rare opportunity, from which they could learn a lot of experience and insights.

  In fact, unless it's a public match, many high-level competitions are usually only circulated within a small circle, and the viewers are either familiar people or extremely high-ranking alchemists, or some powerful professional players. Ordinary alchemists don't even have the chance to watch.

  For the first time, Chu Xiao refined fifty pellets of Pei Yuan Dan. In the past, he usually refined one pellet at a time, and occasionally refined multiple pellets.

  As the fifty ingredients of Pei Yuan Dan were neatly delivered into the primary dan furnace, Chu Xiao began to manipulate his spiritual power, controlling the pitiful few arrays within the dan furnace.

  The more primary the dan furnace is, although the control requirements are lower, there are too few formations, and it is impossible to refine the medicine accurately. The success rate will undoubtedly be lowered during the refining process.

  However, Chu Xiao had undergone a baptism by fire, and every control was precise and subtle, completely immersed in the state of alchemy.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but Wei Changqing's alchemy had also reached a critical moment. Suddenly, the low-grade spiritual instrument-level cauldron shook slightly, and a thick medicinal fragrance burst out of the air hole, making a humming sound.

  Wei Changqing's face lit up with joy, and he suddenly formed a collection of alchemy seals, which he slapped into the crucible. Instantly, a round and smooth Yuan Yuan Dan shot out from the mouth of the crucible, falling into a special detection dish.

  Forty-eight pills of Pei Yuan Dan.

  Wei Changqing shook his head, a look of great satisfaction on his face. A success rate of 96% was already quite good.

  "Dan Medicine: Peiyuan Dan."

  Rank: Top-grade human rank.

  Alchemist: Future Alchemy Master.

  Quantity: 48.

  Success rate: ninety-six percent.

  Refining time: twenty-nine minutes forty-seven seconds.

  Perfection: 77.46%.

  "This kid's alchemy is quite impressive, but I wonder if he has any real skills or materials."

  Wei Changqing took a look at the test results and was still quite satisfied. He gazed thoughtfully at Chu Xiao in the alchemy room across from him, then slightly froze. At this moment, the aura emanating from Chu Xiao's body made him feel as if he had seen his cousin Lin He Ping alchemizing.

  At this moment, Chu Xiao's inferior Dan furnace also made a move, and the inside suddenly shook violently, emitting a thunderous sound.

  "Failed?"

  Wei Changqing was very familiar with this sound, which usually occurred when the elixir had gone bad.

  But the next moment, his eyes were about to pop out, and he saw that Chu Xiao's inferior Dan furnace suddenly spewed out a strong medicinal fragrance, even the lid of the Dan furnace was blown flying, accompanied by dozens of white lights rushing out.

  Chu Xiao didn't expect this to happen, and it was also because the quality of the dan furnace was too low. In one go, he refined fifty Pei Yuan Dan, which put immense pressure on the inside of the dan furnace.

  Fortunately, the Lingyou system has a protective function for the refined Dan medicine. These dozens of Peiyuan Dans that rushed out were restrained by an invisible force and fell into the test tube. Otherwise, they would have flown out at high speed and collided with other objects in the alchemy room, causing the Dan medicine to shatter.

  Pei Yuandan fell into the test tube, and instantly a string of test information appeared on the screen, attracting the attention of Wei Changqing and all the audience.
