When the competition was announced, the supervisors immediately came to the contestants and handed the pills to everyone.

The recipe for the Heart Fire Pill is no longer as simple as a page, but a thin book. The first page of the book contains the materials needed to make the pill. The twenty-one pharmacists did not make any unnecessary moves.

, all came to the edge of the arena and asked people from their chambers of commerce to copy down the materials and prepare them as quickly as possible.

The same goes for Lu An. He quickly came to the ring. Dong Hao also knew the rules and was already waiting for him. The steward quickly copied down all the twenty-three types of materials, but looking at these materials, both Dong Hao and the steward looked a little ugly.

.

"How is it?" Lu An looked at the expressions of the two people and asked with a slight frown.

Dong Hao's face was a little stiff, and he said bitterly, "To tell you the truth, there are three materials here that are difficult to obtain, namely Yamada flower dew, early summer leaves and Lianxin red fruit. The chamber of commerce's warehouse can take out at most two

I'm afraid I won't be able to get any more."

Two copies? Aren’t there only two chances?

Lu An's brows tightened. The Heart Fire Pill was a fourth-grade high-level elixir. Not to mention the Heart Fire Pill, he had failed four times when refining the Life-Injury Pill. Two chances, even in his heart.

There is no confidence at all.

"Can't you go buy it?" Lu An asked.

"I will buy it, but the hope is slim." Dong Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "When the content of the competition comes out, all the first-class chambers of commerce will immediately block the materials and prevent others from buying them. Now we can only count on the second-class chambers of commerce.

, but as long as people recognize that we are from the Dong Family Chamber of Commerce, they will not sell to our competitor."

Lu An frowned when he heard this, but he couldn't change the situation. He nodded slightly and said, "First prepare the materials from the chamber of commerce and send them over, and then we'll talk about the rest."

"No problem." Dong Hao said, "I'll have people prepare it now."

After explaining the materials, Lu An returned to his stone platform, sat on a chair and looked at the alchemy manual quietly. There were six pages in the alchemy manual, and every step of the alchemy process was clearly explained without any ambiguity.

Place. However, when Lu An read the entire alchemy book word by word, it took two sticks of incense.

for

Lu An could only use two words to describe the process of refining alchemy: it was cumbersome.

The Heart Fire Pill was the first elixir he came into contact with that had materials that could be used repeatedly. The materials he encountered before could only be refined or used once at most, but the Heart Fire Pill was different. Certain materials would be used repeatedly in alchemy.

And the way of using it is completely different, which makes Lu An feel a lot of pressure.

Not only that, the number of materials that the Heart Fire Pill can be refined at the same time is not comparable to the pills that Lu An refined before. The requirements for fire control and mental strength are several times higher. This is Lu An's second attempt to refine it.

Fourth-grade elixirs were still an unfamiliar field to him.

On the stage, even the other twenty fourth-level pharmacists looked solemn and looked at the pill spectrum attentively. It was obvious that the Heart Fire Pill also put a lot of pressure on them. But the power of the first-class chamber of commerce is powerful after all.

, far from being comparable to the Dong Family Chamber of Commerce. In less than two quarters of an hour, a chamber of commerce prepared twenty-three types of materials and sent them over.

It's the Cihan Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone looked to the side of the Cihan Chamber of Commerce, and their eyes became downcast. It was obvious that the person who bribed the Medicine Master Alliance this year was probably the Cihan Chamber of Commerce.

In the audience, the president of the Cihan Chamber of Commerce also had a smile on his face. The three fourth-level heavenly masters who represented the Cihan Chamber of Commerce in the competition had worked together to study the elixir all night long and tried repeatedly all night. Although they failed to refine it,

The elixir can be prepared, but at least the first half of the process can be done accurately. In this way, it will have many advantages over other merchants.

Sure enough, after receiving the materials, three fourth-level pharmacists were seen placing them directly on the table and quickly refining them. This scene naturally made everyone else feel tremendous pressure.

Lu An also took a look, but that was all, and started reading the alchemy chart again. After another two quarters of an hour, other first-class chambers of commerce also sent the materials to the pharmacist.

There were twenty-one people in the audience, and only Lu An was left without materials. The stone platform was empty, and a man was sitting on a chair without moving anything.

do.

This scene was naturally seen by all the audience in the audience, and the audience shook their heads and cast sympathetic glances at Lu An. In today's competition, Lu An is destined to be just a foil.

Like most alchemy processes, the first step in refining the Heart Fire Pill is refining. Soon, all the fourth-level pharmacists in the audience released their own flames. Immediately, the entire arena and the surrounding temperature became very hot.

, even easy to get burned.

At the moment when the flames were released, all the fourth-level pharmacists looked around in unison. You must know what the flame means to a pharmacist. The strength of the flame directly determines the strength of the pharmacist.

Moreover, the power of flames can produce a suppressing effect. When certain powerful or special flames appear, they will suppress other surrounding flames. However, this situation does not appear here. Although everyone has differences in strength, they all do

No suppression effect.

Lu An also raised his head at this time and looked at the pharmacists around him. All the pharmacists were refining, and what Lu An had to do was to observe other people's refining to avoid detours.

Sure enough, the first step is not simple for the pharmacist in the arena. The refining of materials is not the same, but the elixir spectrum is different, with different requirements for concentration and purity. Any deviation will have huge consequences in the subsequent elixir refining process.

The impact. This seems to be a simple first step, but no one dares to act rashly.

"Why is this concentration so strange?"

"Damn, it still doesn't work!"

"..."

After several attempts, the surrounding pharmacists all complained. But no one stopped to try. After all, they had a lot of materials and did not consider the cost of failure.

Lu An just watched quietly while others were refining. Over time, people in the audience also forgot about Lu An's existence. After all, the process of refining fourth-grade elixirs cannot be seen all the time.

Time passed little by little, and finally, when a full hour had passed from the beginning to now, the people from the Dong Family Chamber of Commerce ran over from a distance, sweating profusely!

"Lu An!

Lu An!"

Lu An, who was concentrating on watching others refining, was shocked. He immediately turned his head to look under the ring and found that Dong Hao was waving to him. He felt happy and quickly came to the ring.

"The materials are all here!" Dong Hao immediately handed a ring to Lu An and said, "I will ask my people to buy more materials. After all, the second-rate chamber of commerce does not know the contents of the elixir spectrum, but you also

Use it with care!"

"Yes." Lu An nodded, and immediately returned to his stone table and took out all the materials in the ring.

Looking at the dazzling array of materials on the stone table, Lu An took a deep breath and calmed down completely.

Then, he stretched out his hand and released an ice furnace on the stone table.

The moment the ice furnace appeared, the terrifying temperature spread. The stone table was covered with a thick layer of frost in an instant, and the flames of the surrounding pharmacists were immediately affected, and after shaking for a while, they turned dim!

ice?

This scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone on and off the stage. Everyone looked over in confusion and had great doubts about Bing's appearance.

Ice and fire are completely two extremes, so how can we use an ice furnace?

Even the people in the Dong Family Chamber of Commerce were a little confused when they saw this scene. After all, Lu An was refining elixirs in his room, and no one had ever seen Lu An’s actual elixir refining process. So when the ice furnace appeared, they were also stunned.

.

"Lu An...is he okay?" a pharmacist asked worriedly.

"Who knows..." Others were not sure and said, "I have never seen this kind of alchemy furnace."

In the arena, the other pharmacists showed contempt after being briefly surprised. In their opinion, Lu An was just trying to please others. After laughing at it, they all continued to refine it.

However, Lu An didn't care about anyone's opinions, but carefully put the first material into the alchemy furnace.

Then, he slowly raised his hands, and a flame gradually appeared in the air in front of his hands.

It's finally starting.
Chapter completed!
