When Fang Heng heard Shen Xiang say that he wanted to add something, he knew what Shen Xiang was thinking. The powerful wild beast's flesh and blood contained Dao Yuan divine power! Usually, adding wild beast's flesh and blood to the pill was also to make this kind of Dao Yuan divine power appear in the pill.
Since he could add some things, Shen Xiang had nothing to worry about now. He believed that he would succeed.
"Let's start!" Fang Daiqi said. Everyone present thought that Shen Xiang would not succeed, especially the Fang family father and son, because they knew the Qiyuan Pill very well.
Now Lu Ying and Chu Hongqing couldn't say anything. Seeing Shen Xiang was so confident, they could only hope that Shen Xiang really had a way to refine it.
The Qiyuan Pill is also quite expensive, because only the Fang family in the entire Fire Dao Divine Land can refine it, and this pill has many uses. For cultivators in the Dao Yuan Realm, this pill is particularly useful. If you have enough jade money to buy this pill, it is only a matter of time before you can surpass the Dao Yuan Realm.
After starting, Fang Heng was extremely fast. He processed the medicinal materials and released the flames in one go. He finished it in a few blinks of an eye and looked very skilled.
Fang Heng's level was already very high. After all, he was the disciple of the head of the Fire Sect and the young master of the Fang family. He knew how to make pills since he was a child. It would be strange if he didn't have such a level.
As usual, when Shen Xiang was refining this kind of unfamiliar pill, he would observe his opponent first, so that he could have a direction.
The Qiyuan Pill does not require many medicinal materials, but the conditions for refining it are very harsh. The recipe for this pill was created by the ancestor of the Fang family, so only the descendants of the Fang family can refine it.
Shen Xiang carefully observed Fang Heng's alchemy furnace, using his Dao Heart Eyes to watch. Shen Xiang stared at his alchemy furnace intently, which made Fang Heng feel uncomfortable, as if he was being peeped at.
After observing for a while, Shen Xiang discovered that Fang Heng released a very strong flame at the beginning, and then gradually weakened.
"It should take a short time to refine this kind of pill!" Shen Xiang was now ready to start refining. He looked at the medicinal materials in the jade box. There were three kinds of medicinal materials in one set, a black bean-like grain, a small white flower, and the last one was a golden fruit.
He didn't know what kind of medicinal herbs these were. He messaged Chu Hongqing, but Chu Hongqing didn't know either. It was obvious that the Fang family had done a very good job of keeping this matter secret. For so many years, the names of the herbs had not been leaked.
"If the refining is successful, the Fang family will definitely take back the remaining herbs!" Shen Xiang thought secretly in his heart. If he succeeds with only one herb, there will be two left at that time.
In order to prevent him from taking them back for planting, the Fang family would definitely take them all back, so the first thing he had to do was to secretly hide a portion, which was not a difficult task for him.
Finally, everyone saw Shen Xiang start to refine the elixir. He imitated Fang Heng, arranging the medicinal materials in an orderly manner and then putting them into the elixir furnace.
At this time, Shen Xiang also secretly activated his control power, transferred the medicinal materials put into the alchemy furnace into the Youyao Ring, and then condensed a ball of fierce flames inside the alchemy furnace.
He deliberately waited for a moment, then detonated the fire!
Boom! The alchemy furnace emitted a muffled sound, and Shen Xiang sighed deliberately!
The furnace exploded! This was everyone's reaction, but everyone thought it was normal. After all, even the head of the Fire Sect couldn't succeed, let alone a kid who had only been refining pills for a short time.
Seeing Shen Xiang's furnace explode, Fang Heng and his father smiled at each other. This was something they had expected.
Shen Xiang had done this just now in order to transfer the medicinal materials so that he could copy them later, so he did it on purpose. And next, he would really start refining the elixir.
He still has two doses of medicinal materials left. If neither succeeds, he will lose 100 million!
Shen Xiang put the second batch of medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, then released the flame and began to burn those medicinal materials. At this time, he was very careful.
When refining medicinal herbs that you have never refined before, you generally need to understand the characteristics of these herbs in the shortest time possible and use a very gentle flame. Otherwise, if the flame is too strong at the beginning and the herbs are fragile, they will be burned.
Shen Xiang has participated in many such competitions, so he has very rich experience. He does not intend to succeed in this furnace, because he needs to understand the characteristics of the three medicinal materials so that he can proceed to the final stage of pill coagulation.
"These medicinal herbs are relatively soft, and too strong a flame can burn them into slag in an instant. It seems that they need to be refined with water and fire, just like the Skeleton Divine Fruit." Shen Xiang has comprehended many methods from the Heavenly Refining Technique. He can use different methods to refine the herbs according to the conditions of the herbs.
After a short period of refining, he immediately determined the characteristics of the three medicinal materials in the furnace, and then used the power of the Six Paths to condense a liquid and poured it into the furnace to soak the three medicinal materials.
"I don't know if the power of the Six Paths can replace the Fang family's strange divine power!" Shen Xiang was not sure at this time, so he could only try it first.
These medicinal herbs are all of lower grade Heavenly Rank, so they are relatively easy to refine. In just less than half an hour, Shen Xiang had refined them all.
Inside the alchemy furnace, three balls of black, white and gold light were immersed in the water. These were three balls of medicinal liquid. Shen Xiang used his divine power to gather these three balls of medicinal liquid together, but he failed!
The three groups of medicinal liquid have very strange reactions when they are fused. They just overlap but are incompatible. If the divine power is taken back, the overlapping groups of medicinal liquid will come out again and become the original three groups.
"Let's put in the blood and flesh of wild beasts and see how it goes!" Shen Xiang tried several times and it was the same, so he threw in a large amount of blood and flesh of wild beasts.
Seeing Shen Xiang adding things with a serious expression, Fang Heng was secretly proud. He could guess the problem Shen Xiang was facing at this time, because all the alchemists except those from the Fang family encountered the same problem.
"Adding flesh and blood is useless! I heard that the head of the Fire Lord Sect tried to add the flesh and blood of hundreds of wild beasts, but failed."
"Many veteran alchemists have tried hundreds of times but have never succeeded. He still has two chances now."
"In order to prove that their Qi Yuan Dan was unique, the Fang family distributed medicinal materials everywhere and even held a conference to let alchemists refine it, but they were unsuccessful."
"Yes, this is why Qi Yuan Dan became so famous!"
Shen Xiang also learned from everyone's discussion how the Qiyuan Pill became famous. At this time, he had already refined the flesh and blood of the wild beast, divided it into three even groups, and integrated them into the three groups of medicinal liquid respectively.
The integration process went very smoothly. After complete integration, Shen Xiang tried again to mix the three groups of medicinal liquids together!
However, it still failed. The three groups of medicinal liquid could gather together but they did not fuse. Once the power was taken back, they would immediately separate. It was also very easy to squeeze the three groups of medicinal liquid together, and no divine power was required.
At this point, Shen Xiang finally understood that in order to merge the three groups of medicinal liquids together, he must use the Fang family's miraculous power to succeed.
"What kind of divine power is the Qi Dao divine power?" Shen Xiang used his Taoist eyes to look at Fang Heng's alchemy furnace opposite him. He was watching it while refining the elixir just now.
He used the power of water and fire to refine these medicinal herbs very quickly. Although he observed for a while at the beginning, he finally caught up with Fang Heng.
At this time, Fang Heng had also progressed to this level. He could use his Taoist mind's eye to see that there were three groups of medicinal liquids slowly gathering inside Fang Heng's alchemy furnace.
"Is that the Qi Dao divine power?" Shen Xiang looked at it intently. It was a light red. In order to see it more clearly, he quietly released a wisp of his soul into it and used the power of space to penetrate it.
The power of this strand of his soul was very weak and would not interfere with Fang Heng's alchemy, but it would allow him to more clearly understand the situation inside the other party's alchemy furnace.
"This is..." Shen Xiang was immediately pleasantly surprised. He suddenly understood why the three groups of medicinal liquid needed the so-called "magical power" to be combined together.
The strange divine power that Fang Heng used was the counter-force that he was very familiar with!
For some unknown reason, the three liquid medicines repelled each other and could not be fused together no matter what! But if the counter force was used, the originally mutually repelling forces would become mutually attractive.
"Haha, I understand!" Shen Xiang was overjoyed. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to overcome this difficulty. It didn't require any effort at all.
Although he was happy, he was also confused in his heart: why did the Fang family understand this kind of counter-force?
He urged the counter-force in his body to enter the three groups of medicinal liquid. Sure enough, the three groups of medicinal liquid attracted each other and gathered together confidently without his help.
At the moment of gathering, Shen Xiang felt a very violent force, and at the same time a strong white light burst out, causing the alchemy furnace to shake violently!
boom!
Shen Xiang did not anticipate such a sudden change. Before he could control it, the medicinal liquid that had just been fused exploded!
The furnace exploded again!
No one was surprised at all, and Fang Heng even smiled. Although he had seen this kind of thing many times, he was very happy when he saw that it was Shen Xiang who had the furnace exploded and had a depressed look on his face.
Chu Hongqing just sighed softly. Now Shen Xiang only had one chance. If he failed again, Shen Xiang would have to help the Fang family refine the Yaogedan for a period of time.
Now only half an hour has passed. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least an hour for a disciple of the Fang family to refine a furnace of Qiyuan Dan.
Everyone now felt that Shen Xiang might lose in less than an hour!
Shen Xiang was thinking about why the furnace exploded just now. His mind kept replaying the whole process of polymerization. He slowed down the process and analyzed it carefully to find the cause.
The time limit is three hours, which is more than enough for Shen Xiang.
Unconsciously, Shen Xiang had been thinking for more than half an hour. At this time, Fang Heng also opened the alchemy furnace and took out two Qiyuan Pills from it, both of which were of superior quality.
The alchemists present were extremely envious. They all knew that the value of the Qiyuan Pill was much greater than that of the Yaoge Pill.
Shen Xiang also looked at Fang Heng's Qiyuan Pill, which was white. He felt that he was almost successful just now. He could already gather it together, but he didn't know what went wrong.
Shen Xiang only had one batch of medicinal herbs left. Seeing that he was still thinking, everyone urged him on.
"Hurry up and start, or give up and stop dilly-dallying!"
"Useless struggle!"
"Don't be so concerned about your reputation. It's normal that you can't do what the head of the Fire Sect can't do. No one will laugh at you! It's not a bad thing for young people to fall down more often."
Shen Xiang suddenly said: "I can refine ten Yaogedan pills in one furnace, but the head of Huozun Sect can't do it! So what he can't do, it doesn't mean I can't do it either."
Shen Xiang's words left that person speechless!
He was right, because he could refine ten Yaogedans in one furnace. This was not luck, but strength. He must have a very unique alchemy skill, which allowed him to reach such an amazing level.
Yu Yan said, "It's nothing special that Fang Heng can refine the Qiyuan Pill. Everyone in his Fang family knows how to refine it. You can't say that he has a high level of alchemy because of this, right? The head of the Huozun Sect can't refine the Qiyuan Pill either. Does that mean Fang Heng is better than the head of the Huozun Sect? Fang Heng can only do this because he has the special power of the Fang family."
"But my brother Shen's refining of ten Yaoge Pills is different, because he succeeded under very fair conditions, unlike Fang Heng, who relied on his special Qidao divine power. Moreover, he may have been refining Qiyuan Pills for many years, but now he is so proud of refining two pills. I really don't see what he has to be proud of, his ability is just like that!"
Fang Heng was so angry at Yu Yan's words that his face turned red. After all, he was a minor celebrity. Being belittled in public like this, and he didn't know how to refute it, was like a slap in the face.
"What? Are you dissatisfied? Even if Brother Shen lost, he was only cheated by you and your son. Although you won, you got 100 million jade coins. Ask yourself, did you win gloriously? That's right, you don't have a conscience!"
Many people immediately cheered for Yu Yan's words. After all, the father and son of the Fang family deliberately tricked Shen Xiang. At this time, the father and son of the Fang family did not say anything, which was regarded as their tacit consent to this matter.
"If my brother Shen knows how to use your magical powers, he will definitely be able to refine four Qiyuan Pills." Yu Yan said again. He was cheering Shen Xiang up, but at the same time, he was very unhappy because he saw Fang Heng's smug look just now.
Chen Xiang suddenly laughed: "No, I think I can refine at least five pills!"
Fang Heng hummed, "Then you have to refine it. Our Fang family's ancestor could only refine three pills at most. Now, not even one of the Fang family can refine three pills."
"What? Do you want to increase the stakes now?" Shen Xiang chuckled. If someone was familiar with Shen Xiang, they would definitely refuse immediately at this time. In the past, Shen Xiang used this trick to trick many people.
However, no one here knew about the sinister tricks that Shen Xiang had used in the past to kill people without shedding blood, and this trick was one of his usual tricks.
"Do you think you can really refine it? You failed twice..."
Before Fang Heng finished speaking, Shen Xiang interrupted him and said, "Increase it to 200 million jade coins, do you dare?"
Fang Heng looked at Fang Daiqi. It was up to his father to make the decision. His father hesitated for a while and said, "Add it if you want. I want to see how you can refine five Qiyuan Pills! If you can really refine them, I'll spend my money to open my eyes."
Chen Xiang smiled faintly: "There are so many people watching here, I'm not afraid that you will default on your debt!"
Now Shen Xiang is full of confidence. He has found two mistakes. The first is that he used too much counter-force.
Everyone took a deep breath. Some of them couldn't figure out what Shen Xiang was doing. He actually proposed to increase the stakes now. It didn't look like he had the upper hand at all!
Chu Hongqing was frightened, but she was also thinking. She knew that Chen Xiang would never do such a stupid thing. He must be very sure! Just like when she lost to Chen Xiang before, at that time Chen Xiang looked like a fool in the eyes of many people, but later Chen Xiang used his own strength to prove that they were the fools!
When he observed Fang Heng refining the elixir before, Fang Heng's counterforce was very dim, which meant that he did not use much! But he used a lot, and kept sending it into the three groups of medicine liquid, resulting in a strong attraction at the moment of fusion, as if the three groups of medicine liquid were colliding.
The second point is that the timing of putting the wild beast's flesh and blood in was wrong. According to the pill recipe, the wild beast's flesh and blood can only be put in when the pill is condensed.
Of course, the recipe states that Dao Yuan spiritual power is needed to condense the pill. He does not have Dao Yuan spiritual power, so he can only use the flesh and blood of wild beasts instead.
Because the three groups of medicinal liquids could not fuse just now, he added the flesh and blood of the wild beast in advance. Therefore, at the moment of fusion, the three groups of medicinal liquids with powerful Taoist divine power collided, which caused a strong explosion in an instant, catching him off guard.
After Shen Xiang found out where he made a mistake, he could avoid it. Now he started refining again!
Fang Heng had already finished refining it. He stood next to his father and looked at Shen Xiang together. Although they looked very confident, they were secretly worried in their hearts!
Just now, Shen Xiang suddenly increased the bet by 100 million. He must have something to rely on to be so confident!
Shen Xiang was also secretly on guard against this father and son at this time. When he was competing with Lan Taotian in refining the Yaogedan, Fang Heng had secretly disturbed him, so he was very wary of Fang Heng.
Soon, he refined the three medicinal herbs into liquid medicine. He released a very weak counter-force, and then controlled this counter-force to pass through the three balls of liquid medicine like a rope.
At the moment of passing through, the three groups of medicine liquid merged together on their own. The fusion speed was relatively slow, not as sudden as before. This was closely related to the degree of use of counter-force, proving Shen Xiang's speculation.
Not long after, the three groups of medicinal liquid successfully merged together and turned into a group of white medicinal liquid. Now, it is almost ready to form a pill!
"It's going smoothly, but don't let anything go wrong." Shen Xiang took out the flesh and blood of the Lightning Dragon Eagle and put a lot of it in, because he wanted to condense five pills.
He refined the wild beast's flesh and blood into Dao Yuan spiritual power, and then controlled that Dao Yuan spiritual power to merge into the medicine. The process was also very smooth.
Seeing that Shen Xiang was progressing so steadily, Fang Heng and his father became even more worried. If they lost, they would need to give Shen Xiang 200 million jade coins!
Although Fang Daiqi is a senior member of the Fang family, it is very difficult for him to come up with 200 million jade coins. He can only get it from the Fang family's bank, but that is the common property of the Fang family!
Fang Daiqi suddenly sent a message to Fang Heng, asking Fang Heng to disrupt Shen Xiang's rhythm. As long as Shen Xiang failed in this furnace, they would win.
Shen Xiang was thinking about dividing the medicinal liquid into five parts, when he suddenly felt a weak force coming. He immediately released a space shield to cover the entire alchemy furnace.
"This bastard really did it! Humph, no matter what, you are doomed to lose." Shen Xiang was secretly angry in his heart. If it were not for the current situation, with his temper, he would definitely ignore all consequences and beat Fang Heng up first.
After Fang Heng tried several times, he still didn't know why the power he released could not enter Shen Xiang's furnace. He frowned slightly, then sent a message to his father, asking his father to take action.
Chen Xiang immediately sent a message to Chu Hongqing: "That bastard just now was trying to disturb me again. It was my son who took action. He didn't succeed just now. Next, it's his father who will take action. Go and distract their attention!"
Chu Hongqing was not surprised at all to learn that Fang Heng had disrupted Shen Xiang's alchemy. Shen Xiang had told her about it before, and Fang Heng was not a good person when he was in the Fire Lord Sect.
Chu Hongqing quickly walked over to Fang Daiqi and his son and said with a sweet smile, "If you and your son lose, is the Fang family really willing to pay the 200 million jade coins?"
"What if the Fang family doesn't pay? Can you and your son afford it?"
Fang Daiqi was just about to make a move, but Chu Hongqing suddenly stood in front of him. At this time, Shen Xiang had already divided the medicine liquid into five balls and began to condense the pill.
"You don't have to worry about this. The reputation of our Fang family is known throughout the Fire Dao Divine Land." Fang Daiqi said.
"Really? Although I know the reputation of the Fang family, I am a little worried because your Fang family has never encountered such a thing." Chu Hongqing said with a sweet smile.
Fang Daiqi was a little annoyed: "Let's talk about it after you win!"
Chu Hongqing giggled and said, "We will win soon. I just came to tell you so that you can be prepared!"
Shen Xiang is already condensing the pill and it will be completed soon. Chu Hongqing also returned to Yu Yan's side!
Fang Daiqi and Fang Heng were both trembling with fear at this moment, because Shen Xiang had been so calm for such a long time, which made them very uneasy.
After a while, Shen Xiang opened his eyes and exhaled: "I succeeded, this Qi Yuan Dan is just like this!"
"You..." Fang Heng was about to say something when Shen Xiang suddenly opened the alchemy furnace, and then controlled the five snow-white Qiyuan Pills in the furnace to float up.
The surface of these Qi Yuan Dan was shining with a layer of white light, because the quality had reached the extreme. The quality of the Qi Yuan Dan he refined was much better than that of Fang Heng.
Fang Heng and Fang Daiqi, the father and son, were both stunned, their faces full of disbelief, with all kinds of complicated emotions surging in their hearts, anger, jealousy, fear, unwillingness...
The hall was very quiet, and everyone was staring in amazement at the five Qiyuan Pills floating above Shen Xiang's furnace!
The myth that only the Fang family can refine the Qiyuan Pill has been broken!
Moreover, the Fang family can only refine three pills at most, but Shen Xiang can refine five!
The quiet hall was broken by Yu Yan's loud laughter: "Did you see that? Brother Shen succeeded! The Qi Yuan Dan is not only something your Fang family can refine, Brother Shen can also refine it successfully, and he can refine it better than you!"
Lu Ying took a deep breath, walked over, and looked at those Qiyuan Pills up close. They were just out of the oven, and they still had Shen Xiang's unique aura of fire on them!
Chu Hongqing knew that Shen Xiang could succeed, but she was still very surprised. However, she quickly adapted to it. She smiled and said, "You lost. Two hundred million jade coins, take them out quickly!"
