Seeing that some alchemists had not yet set fire to the alchemy, Madam Li shouted, "Once the sand in this hourglass has drained out, this round will be over. If you don't compete, even if you automatically forfeit, you will be eliminated."
Shen Xiang looked at the hourglass and it would take about half an hour to run out. Time was very tight because the candle was difficult to burn and he had to be very careful when burning it, otherwise the ice particles inside would be completely burned.
Among the three competition fields, only the alchemists in the advanced competition field released flames. Some alchemists in the other two competition fields were hesitant, but they did not want to be eliminated without even competing.
So many alchemists released their true Qi fire at the same time, making the entire arena like a steamer. Many people couldn't bear it and were soaked in sweat. Only some warriors with good strength could resist it with their true Qi.
Everyone was burning the candle carefully, some were burning it from the top a little bit at a time, some were burning it from the side, all of them were just releasing a tiny flame and baking it carefully.
Only Shen Xiang's burning method was amazing. He actually released flames to wrap up the entire wax column, and the flames were very strong. The alchemists on the same field with him could not bear it. At the same time, they were also amazed at Shen Xiang's terrifying flames. However, they believed that Shen Xiang's burning method would end in failure.
Shen Xiang looked at the other two competition venues and found that the wax pillars in these three competition venues were heated to different degrees, and the advanced competition had the highest degree of heat.
Hua Xiangyue was watching from the 20th floor of the Danxiang Tower. She sat in front of a low window, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, looking very leisurely. She looked at Shen Xiang's flames and murmured, "This kid is always so reckless. He dares to burn like this even with a fire soul. He won't lose like this, will he?"
Liu Meng'er walked in and sat next to the low window. She picked up a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip. She smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
"No, this kid has too many variables." Hua Xiangyue smiled charmingly and touched Liu Meng'er's face: "Sister Meng'er, you will definitely bet on your little lover to win, right?"
The noble and dignified Liu Meng'er also became like a young girl in front of Hua Xiangyue. She blushed and snorted, "You must be jealous!"
Liu Meng'er lied to Shen Xiang that she had returned to the Divine Weapon Kingdom just to avoid Shen Xiang. She knew that if she got close to Shen Xiang now, their feelings would deepen, and they might do something extreme one day. Moreover, she couldn't lose her mind now, Shen Xiang was the man of her two beloved disciples, and she had always been very entangled about this matter.
She had to survive the Nirvana Tribulation before she could deal with this complicated emotional matter, because she might fail when she survived the Tribulation, and she didn't want Chen Xiang to be sad for her at that time! It would also leave a shadow on Chen Xiang, especially when she survived the Nirvana Tribulation.
"How long are you going to keep your secrets from him?" Liu Meng'er asked. She obviously knew some secrets of Hua Xiangyue, and they were what Shen Xiang wanted to know.
"When he becomes stronger than me, I will tell him! Meng'er, maybe we can become sisters by then. This boy's charm is so great that my heart is a little shaken, hehe..." Hua Xiangyue said with a smile.
Shen Xiang who was in the competition naturally didn't know that two beauties were talking about him. Although he looked serious, he would occasionally glance at the beauties in the arena who were drenched in sweat, especially those with good figures. He would always take a few more glances, which would make him more passionate about the competition.
All the participating alchemists were concentrating on burning the wax pillars, and he was the only one who was half-hearted. He did this only because this competition was not challenging at all for him. When refining the elixir, the level of flame control required was higher than this. In his eyes, this competition was just like playing.
The red ice particles inside the wax column were locked onto by his spiritual sense. He controlled the flames that had merged with him at will. These flames seemed to be a part of his body. He could control them freely and at will.
Among the three competition fields, Shen Xiang was very eye-catching because the flame he released was very strong and wrapped up the entire wax column. At first glance, it was very conspicuous.
Suddenly, the flame in front of Shen Xiang disappeared, and the whole audience immediately erupted in a commotion, and bursts of exclamations broke out at the same time, because the wax column disappeared, and in front of Shen Xiang, many red ice particles as big as rice grains were suspended. With Shen Xiang's control, these ice particles all fell into the special ice box.
After the wax column was wrapped in Shen Xiang's flames for a while, it suddenly disappeared, as if by magic, and then many red ice particles appeared, which was breathtaking.
"One hundred pills!" This was counted by Madam Li herself. She confirmed the number with a quick scan with her spiritual sense, and she was also shocked.
Shen Xiang was the fastest to finish the competition, and he passed the first level perfectly. This put a lot of pressure on the other alchemists. They used to think that Shen Xiang was mentally ill, but now they realize that they are the idiots, and they actually looked down on others!
Shen Xiang was still sitting on the competition field. He looked at the intermediate competition field, where his apprentice Yao Haisheng and his good friend Wu Qianqian were. These two were both good alchemists of Taiwu Sect, especially Wu Qianqian, whose progress was amazing. Although she was only a third-level alchemist, she could already refine Zhenyuan Pills. Shen Xiang guessed that she might be promoted to the fourth level in one or two years.
After Wu Qianqian and Elder Dan learned how to conceal the color of her flame, she did not expose her blue flame. At this time, her flame made hundreds of alchemists in the intermediate competition ashamed. The flame with soul is the aristocrat among fires, so the flame released by Wu Qianqian exudes a unique aura.
Shen Xiang's was the Sky Sun Fire, which was much higher than Wu Qianqian's. It was not noble, but the tyranny of a king.
"She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Taiwu Sect. Her figure is on the same level as Sister Meng'er, Hua Xiangyue, Sister Youyou, and Sister Meiyao. Moreover, she is now in her thirties and is even more mature and charming..." Shen Xiang looked at Wu Qianqian's delicate body and his imagination ran wild.
Surprisingly, not long after Shen Xiang finished, Wu Qianqian also did the same as Shen Xiang, making the entire wax column disappear, taking out a hundred red ice particles, and passed the level perfectly. These two people are disciples of Taiwu Sect!
As soon as Wu Qianqian finished, she looked at Shen Xiang. She stuck out her tongue at Shen Xiang mischievously, and then showed a sweet smile, which was very beautiful.
Seeing Wu Qianqian and Chen Xiang flirting with each other, Lian Chang Yun's heart was filled with hatred. Although he had played with many beautiful women, those women only had looks and figures, and had no status. They were all after his wealth, which made him have no sense of conquest at all.
And the high and mighty beauties like Xue Xianxian and Wu Qianqian are the most attractive to these young men.
