Chapter 240: Did It Work?
“Ahhh”
At that moment Su Jingzhen poured the Bodhi liquid into the cauldron.
Liu Ming suddenly let out a loud roar.
The crazed intent in his eyes grew even more intense.
Mu Lao instantly stood up.
Sikong Tingyun, who was beside Feng Qingya, also had his internal power surging.
His breath immediately locked onto Liu Ming.
Mu Lao didn’t need to say anything, as Sikong Tingyun had already openly formed an alliance with Feng Qingya.
And in his view, Feng Qingya, Su Jingzhen, and Xuening all had a high probability of joining his Spirit Sound Valley.
At this moment, he wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt Su Jingzhen’s alchemy.However, after the loud roar, Liu Ming didn’t head towards Su Jingzhen and the others.
Instead, he grabbed the medicinal materials beside him and started frantically refining them.
He had been watching Su Jingzhen’s alchemy for a long time, but in the end, he couldn’t bear to look anymore.
Seeing his actions, Yao Changsheng on the judging platform let out a slight sigh of relief.
A hint of comfort appeared in his eyes.
This choice of Liu Ming’s proved that he still had some rationality in his heart.
“It seems that Liu Ming wants to overcome this hurdle, and it shouldn’t be difficult for him.
In that case, this alchemy competition will be very beneficial for him.
After it’s over, he might even undergo a transformation.”
Vice President Ouyang couldn’t help but praise him sincerely once again.
Yao Changsheng smiled and nodded, not responding.
Everyone’s gaze turned back to Su Jingzhen.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen had just poured the Bodhi liquid into the cauldron, and the previous buzzing sound started again.
Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s faces both underwent a change.
Without hesitation, Xuening slapped the Black Mountain cauldron.
The pill that had already taken shape inside flew out of it.
Su Jingzhen’s hands moved swiftly, and he grabbed the pill in an instant.
He then stored it in a jade bottle.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and it was so fast that most people were left stunned.
“What…what just happened?”
“Did they finish?”
“What was going on just now?”
“Ah, did he fail or succeed?”
“…”
The onlookers were all excited and curious, wanting to know the result.
They didn’t see what Su Jingzhen had put in the jade bottle, and they were all eager to find out.
Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng on the judging platform exchanged a glance, their faces expressionless.
Their attention had just returned to Su Jingzhen from Liu Ming, and they only saw him storing the pill.
“Did…did they succeed?” Vice President Ouyang muttered to himself.
Yao Changsheng shook his head: “The fragrance of the pill was extremely rich, but my spiritual sense also detected the sound of medicinal materials being destroyed.
It’s hard to say whether they succeeded or not.”
As Yao Changsheng spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Their alchemy levels were considered authoritative in the Wind Bell Square, but even they couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“Whether it’s a success or not can only be determined after the sun sets.”
…
While everyone was curious, Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s mouths curled up into a bitter smile.
At this moment, the two of them had withdrawn from their alchemy state.
“I didn’t expect that we would get this result on our fourth attempt.
This time, Miss Feng’s request should be fulfilled.
But we still have time, and we have enough medicinal materials.
This is free practice, so let’s continue.”
Su Jingzhen glanced at the other nine groups of alchemists, a confident smile on his face.
Xuening nodded, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.
She had a joyful feeling in her heart, and she wanted to share it with someone.
“Brother Su, when I was refining the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, I…I seemed to have sensed the Dan Heart that Grandfather mentioned!”
As soon as Xuening said this, Su Jingzhen’s movements stopped, and his heart was shocked.
A joyful expression appeared on his face, but before he could ask, Xuening continued: “In that instant, I felt like I had become transparent and pure.
I completely entered that alchemy state, and controlling the medicinal materials became much easier.
Although I was in a good state before, I could only control around forty medicinal materials, but it was never as easy as today.”
Xuening paused before continuing: “Moreover, in that instant, I felt that my alchemy state was very compatible with yours, Brother Su.
So I think you should also be able to sense your own Dan Heart soon, or maybe you’ve already sensed it without realizing it.”
As Xuening spoke, her eyes sparkled brightly.
When Su Jingzhen heard this, his heart was shocked again, and he thought back to his control over the medicinal materials.
‘Could it be…that this is the Dan Heart?’
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, and he had already made a judgment.
“If that’s the case, then let’s grab onto that feeling and continue! If we can fuse the forty-eight medicinal materials again, we might not make the same mistake as last time.”
Xuening nodded, and the two of them immediately picked up the medicinal materials on the alchemy platform and started operating again.
The four portions of medicinal materials they had previously refined were already exhausted, and they needed to refine them again to continue their attempt.
The process of refining the medicinal materials and re-refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill was as tedious as before.
Although the two of them moved with ease and precision, their actions were still mesmerizing, but the onlookers were getting a bit tired of watching.
Their gazes naturally fell on the other alchemy platforms.
At this moment, everyone’s minds were still filled with the same question.
Had they successfully refined the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill?
But this question could only be answered after the third round was completely over.
At this time, everyone’s attention was drawn to Ye Zhiqiu again.
They had been watching Xuening and Su Jingzhen, but they hadn’t noticed that Ye Zhiqiu had already fused thirty-five medicinal materials.
“She’s indeed a genuine fourth-rank alchemist. Miss Ye must have been just testing the waters earlier, understanding the rhythm of refining the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, and now she’s getting serious.”
“However, Miss Ye has only fused thirty-five medicinal materials so far. She’s still far from forty-eight.”
“…”
As the crowd discussed and anticipated, another failure appeared.
When Ye Zhiqiu fused the thirty-sixth medicinal material, a wisp of blue smoke suddenly appeared in her cauldron.
Ye Zhiqiu didn’t have time to dodge, and her face was stained black by the smoke.
But her expression remained extremely calm, and she only let out a light sigh.
After clearing away the burnt medicinal residue, she started again.
At this time, she didn’t even glance at Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s alchemy platform; her eyes were only focused on herself.
Bai Xiu, Liu Ming, and the other alchemists also stopped watching others at this time, afraid of being affected by their mental state.
They all fell into an immersive state of alchemy.
As they were in this state, time gradually passed.
The sun gradually set in the west.
