Chapter 153 Color Pill Thunder
Ignoring the envious, jealous looks around him, Xu Haoyu immediately got into the state and devoted himself to refining the medicine.
The elixir to be refined this time is extraordinary, he must give it his all and not relax at all.
From the moment he refined the first medicinal herb, he focused entirely on the medicine cauldron in front of him.
It seemed as if time had sped up. One day, two days, three days, four days. Within these few days, some of the other alchemists around the arena had succeeded in refining pills, but they were only some fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and sixth-grade pills.
At the same time, there are even more people who, because of risky attempts to refine elixirs that they have not yet fully mastered, have failed to temper medicinal materials, or have exploded furnaces when fusing the essence of medicinal materials. Such incidents are common.
At this time, Xu Haoyu had finally completed the tempering of all the auxiliary medicinal materials. Next, there were the three most important main medicinal materials, the Blood Essence Demon Fruit, the Evergreen Spirit Vine, and the Snow Bone Ginseng, waiting for him to temper.
Because Xu Haoyu only had one batch of these three medicinal herbs, he was very cautious when tempering them.
Fortunately, his ability to control his spiritual soul was very strong. He spent a whole day and successfully completed the refinement of the three main medicinal herbs.
It took five days, a full five days, to refine all the medicinal materials. Xu Haoyu also took a short rest, intending to complete the final fusion in the best condition.
At this moment, suddenly a beam of light shot up into the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds. Someone had refined a seventh-grade elixir. It was Cao Ying.
At this moment, her face looked very pale, and her eyes were filled with fatigue. It was very likely that she had used some secret technique. It was obvious that refining the seventh-grade elixir was very stressful for her, and even the probability of success was not very high.
However, in order to defeat Xu Haoyu, she resolutely chose to refine the seventh-grade elixir. Now it seems that she has really succeeded.
It was not completely successful, but at least she was half successful. Now she had to stop the pill thunder from destroying the pill, otherwise all her efforts would be completely ruined.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning struck down. This was comparable to a blow from a Dou Zong master. Cao Ying, who was currently only at the Dou Wang level, could not resist it at all.
But as she was the darling of the Cao family, her family elders naturally made all the necessary preparations for her. She took out a special jade tube from her ring.
With her slender hands, she crushed it. A special wave immediately spread out, instantly forming a barrier around her. The thunder bombarded the barrier, causing ripples, but the barrier showed no signs of breaking.
In this way, more than a dozen bolts of lightning struck down, and all were steadily caught by the barrier. Soon after, the dark clouds that had exhausted their power gradually dissipated.
At this time, Cao Ying grabbed a pill that escaped from the medicine cauldron. The pill was snow-white in color and had a strong medicinal fragrance. Smelling the fragrance could calm people's minds. This pill was very useful for people who needed to concentrate on making a breakthrough or refining medicine.
The successful refining of the seventh-grade elixir made Cao Ying raise her head slightly, like a proud phoenix. The audience around her looked at her with amazement, as if saying that she was worthy of being the Cao family's proud daughter.
Even Xuan Kongzi gave her an approving look, which made Cao Ying even more satisfied. She then turned her gaze to Xu Haoyu. She shouldn't lose this time.
At this time, Xu Haoyu had almost rested well, and his spirit was full. His soul had returned to its best condition. The seal in his hand changed, and he whispered two words:
"Fusion!"
In an instant, in the medicine cauldron, hundreds of clusters of medicinal essences wrapped in flames began to move towards the center and gradually merged into each other.
During this process, unlike previous medicine refining, this time Xu Haoyu also slowly poured the spiritual energy in his soul into the unformed mottled liquid medicine. Because of this spiritual energy, the essence of the medicine was undergoing a transformation, which was an essential change. To put it bluntly, it was to give souls when creating living beings.
The essence of refining high-level elixirs is to create a new creature.
For example, the current ancestor of Danta is a ninth-grade mysterious elixir. After transforming into a human form, he possesses the strength of a six-star Dou Sheng.
For example, the prototype of the Emperor Pill in the ancient Emperor Tushe’s cave, after transforming into a human form, possessed the real strength of a half-emperor.
Now, Xu Haoyu possesses a spiritual soul and is able to try to refine an eighth-grade elixir. He will pour all the spiritual energy in his soul into the mottled medicinal liquid.
The mottled medicinal liquid finally succeeded in solidifying and turned into a pill prototype with some bumps.
Xu Haoyu's tired face also showed joy. For now, he had succeeded. Unfortunately, he was only a soul in the early stage of the spiritual realm. The spiritual energy in his soul was still insufficient. The eighth-grade elixir he refined might not be of very high grade.
As he continued to nurture it, the pill became rounder and rounder, and the surging energy ripples became more agitated.
Several hours passed, and suddenly, a beam of energy shot straight up to the sky. The sky and the earth were filled with strange phenomena, but this time everyone was used to it.
After all, Xu Haoyu had already proven himself, but soon everyone was stunned.
I saw groups of calamity clouds gathering in the sky, and the originally gray clouds actually began to change color.
Wisps of green light seeped out and directly dyed the calamity cloud green. Such colored calamity clouds could not be brought about by a seventh-grade elixir.
In the next moment, silver light seeped out from the calamity cloud and slowly dyed the calamity cloud with a second color.
Two-color Danlei!
This is the kind of elixir thunder that would only be brought about by an eighth-grade elixir!
The whole place was silent and everyone was stunned. Who could have thought that at an elixir appraisal conference, an eighth-grade elixir would be born.
An eighth-grade alchemist who is able to refine eighth-grade elixirs can already be called a master on the continent, and such people can be counted on one’s fingers.
It has always been a mysterious place that is hard to find. At this moment, everyone was shouting that it was so exciting and felt that the trip was really worthwhile.
Then they saw that the calamity cloud, which had turned into a two-colored one, once again exuded red light. However, this time it seemed to lack the stamina, causing the calamity cloud to not be completely dyed with the third color, red.
In the end, the pill thunder brought about by the pill refined by Xu Haoyu was completely fixed at colors of thunder.
But this is also a genuine eighth-grade elixir.
At this time, Cao Ying was completely dumbfounded. She had always claimed to be a genius, but today she saw what a true monster was.
Xu Haoyu, who was not much older than her, actually refined an eighth-grade elixir that could attract colors of elixir thunder. This immediately made her feel suffocated and very frustrated.
Xuan Kongzi on the terrace also began to breathe rapidly, his eyes widened. He had never seen such a genius before, and he shouted in his heart:
"Fifteen years old, an eighth-grade alchemist at only fifteen years old, is this really something a human can do?"
