This stalemate was unresolved.
It lasted a long time.
Half a day later.
Shen Ran was the first to refine a high-grade elixir with six golden threads.
He had surpassed Zhao Honglian!
Seeing this, the disciples in the square who supported Shen Ran heaved a sigh of relief.
“Senior Brother Shen Ran’s alchemy skills have already reached an indescribable level. That’s why he can be so shocking!”
“Impressive! Senior Brother Shen Ran has actually surpassed Senior Sister Zhao again!”
…
In the crowd, even the dozen or so Marquis Realm elders were surprised.
It had only been half a day, but he had already surpassed Zhao Honglian.
Luo Qifeng was a little worried earlier.
But now, he was grinning from ear to ear.
“Little Shen, you’re not bad. I was right about you!”
Wan Qingqing, who was standing at the side, also raised her small fists and cheered.
“I knew Brother Shen Ran would definitely win!”
Wan Ziling was speechless and gaping.
A few days ago, she heard that Shen Ran had surpassed Zhao Honglian in the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
But only when she saw it with her own eyes did she know how terrifying his alchemy talent was!
How long has it been? she thought.
He managed to refine a six golden threads high-grade elixir!
One could say that as long as Shen Ran did not die prematurely, he would definitely become a pillar of the Empyrean Sword Sect in the future!
Meanwhile, as Zhao Honglian’s master, Mu Yuge was a little surprised.
She did not expect her disciple to be surpassed!
This had indirectly proven Shen Ran’s attainments in alchemy!
But, even if Shen Ran was leading the way now, the final outcome was already decided.
After all, she had given Zhao Honglian the alchemy insights regarding the sixth level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
She would definitely win the competition in the end.
This was because the more one approached a supreme-grade pill, the harder it was to refine.
And the alchemy insights she gave could increase the success rate!
This kid’s talent is not bad. He can become my disciple.
At this moment, Mu Yuge was moved with affection for the talented.
She planned to summon Shen Ran to the Sixth Summit after he suffered a crushing defeat at the end of the competition.
Once his rough edges were polished, he could become Zhao Honglian’s trusted aide in the future!!
As expected, another half a day had passed.
Zhao Honglian did not disappoint Mu Yuge.
She also caught up!
All at once, the two parties were mired in a stalemate again.
…
In the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Zhao Honglian, who had successfully refined six golden threads, looked up at the void.
She seemed to be able to see Shen Ran through the void.
Zhao Honglian lowered her head and muttered, “Shen Ran… Your talent is indeed very strong!
Unfortunately, you will definitely lose today!
I want to become a mental demon in your alchemy. I’ll let you have a taste of failure!”
As she spoke, Zhao Honglian formed hand seals with both hands. The memories of her elixir refinement experience appeared clearly in her mind.
Just a moment later.
With these insights, she immediately refined seven golden threads!
Half a day later.
Eight golden threads!
…
Outside, the disciples who supported Zhao Honglian saw that she had surpassed Shen Ran.
A loud cheer erupted in the square.
Eight golden threads! “Senior Sister Zhao, you can do it!”
“Haha, I knew Senior Sister Zhao wouldn’t be defeated so easily!”
“Now, Senior Sister Zhao is probably one step from passing the assessment and entering the legendary seventh level!”
…
Amidst the cheers of countless people, Wan Qingqing, who was standing in the crowd, was filled with worry.
Luo Qifeng’s smile faded.
However, very soon, when Shen Ran cultivated eight golden threads, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
This scene also made the square outside abuzz with excitement.
Gradually, more and more voices were calling out Shen Ran’s name.
Even Zhao Honglian’s supporters could not stop them.
They could only watch helplessly as Shen Ran’s reputation was raised to an unprecedented level!
…
Sixth level.
Shen Ran looked at the millions of spiritual herbs flashing in front of him.
Determination appeared in his eyes and his hands danced in the air.
In an instant, he threw all the intact medicinal herbs and natural treasures into the elixir furnace.
His success rate in refining Tier 5 pills was also gradually increasing.
This was the hardest assessment he had ever experienced.
Gradually, sweat broke out on Shen Ran’s forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a lunatic.
His mind was immersed in alchemy.
The spiritual energy in his body was insufficient because he had been refining pills for a long time.
His mind was exhausted, causing his brain to hurt and churn, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Some time passed.
The moment the elixir furnace erupted with spiritual light, Shen Ran’s hands trembled slightly.
His breathing was rapid, but there was satisfaction in his eyes. He wiped away the sweat and clenched his fists tightly. There was excitement in his eyes.
A supreme-grade elixir!
It worked?!
Through the illusory mirror, the disciples who had witnessed the entire process were completely shocked!
At this moment, there were voices buzzing and spreading in all directions.
Many disciples who heard the vibration rushed over from the various peaks.
Looking at Shen Ran, who had already surpassed the second-generation Sect Master, Luo Zhimo, in the stone tower, everyone gasped.
“First place in the stone tower! This Shen Ran actually did it!”
“The last time the number one of the stone towers appeared in the Empyrean Sword Sect was Sect Master Luo 5000 years ago!”
“I didn’t expect to see this in my lifetime!”
“…”
