Flipping the palm to condense pill fire?

How was this possible!!

On Pill Peak at this moment, all the surrounding disciples in Pill Hall No. 1 were watching this scene.

They simply couldn’t believe their eyes.

After a few breaths, they finally reacted.

“This… this is the instant condensation of the pill fire?!”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! Our Pill Peak’s Deputy Hall Master needs thirty breaths to condense a pill fire. How can he be faster?!”

“Something has gone wrong?”

The surrounding disciples’ voices of disbelief and doubt could be faintly heard.

Li Ce’s eyes widened when he saw this scene.

Condensing a pill fire in a second?

This wasn’t something that could be learned through hard training.

Even if he had stayed on the Pill Peak for ten years, condensing pill fire still took him 200 breaths.

How could Gu Zecang condense pill fire in a second?

But this scene before his eyes had happened.

The Hall Master of Pill Hall No. 1, Han Dao Bai, had stood up in shock earlier on.

At this moment, he slowly sat back in his seat.

With his cultivation level, experience and vision in alchemy, he could naturally tell that the pill fire in Gu Zecang’s palm was something he had just condensed.

It was not something that could have happened with the use of hidden methods.

Could it be that the young man in front of him was an alchemy genius?

Han Daobai’s heart gradually began to beat faster.

At the same time, Wu Hao, who was sitting cross-legged next to Gu Zecang, was the person closest to the latter.

He had just finished condensing the pill fire when he realized that Gu Zecang had not even condensed it.

Because Li Ce had told him in advance to attack the other party, he initially wanted to take the opportunity to open his mouth to mock Gu Zecang.

But just when Wu Hao turned his head, to his surprise, he found an exquisite blue pill fire appearing in front of his eyes.

He immediately swallowed his words.

And then after he took back his words, he noticed that the blue pill fire’s mottled purity had reached 90%!

90%!

Wu Hao was dumbfounded at this moment.

What was this thing?

Was this something that a Rank 1 alchemist could condense?!

It was too fake!

The surrounding noise turned into silence.

Beside him, Wu Hao’s gaze changed from slight mockery to shock.

At this moment, there was only one word in Gu Zecang’s mind, and that was:

Awesome!

The feeling of making someone who looked down on him for not being able to refine pills but now was watching him condense the pill fire with a flip of his palm and was rendered speechless…

This exact feeling was too awesome.

And all this was something he had secretly learned from Junior Brother Lu Ming.

What was a genius?

Junior Brother Lu Ming was the genius.

At this moment, in comparison to Lu Ming, the talent of all the disciples of the Pill Peak was only second-rate in Gu Zecang’s heart.

Junior Brother Lu Ming.

God forever!

At this moment, Gu Zecang’s heart was filled with joy. As his thoughts surged, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He decided to scare the disciples of the Pill Peak again.

Thus, he casually dispersed the pill fire just now.

He muttered to himself.

“Eh, why is the purity of the pill fire condensed this time so low?”

Then, he flipped his palm again.

Another blue pill fire burst out!

Hiss.

Hiss.

Hiss.

As expected.

Gu Zecang heard a series of gasps coming from his surroundings.

Wu Hao, who was beside him, heard his words.

He almost threw away the pill fire that he had painstakingly condensed.

What a guy.

That pill fire just now had a purity of 90% at the beginning.

But you think the purity of the pill fire is too low?

Then what becomes of my pill fire with a purity of 65%?

Wu Hao was so depressed that he almost coughed.

At the same time, the surrounding Pill Peak disciples heard Gu Zecang muttering to himself.

And after seeing him condense the pill fire with a flip of his hand for the second time. they sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.

What remained in their hearts, the last bit of doubt that Gu Zecang had cheated, was gone.

But it was precisely because of this that the shock in their hearts grew even stronger.

Because most of them had personally witnessed Gu Zecang peeping at them refining pills the last time he came, as well as the subsequent conflict between the two sides.

A month ago.

Gu Zecang was just an ordinary Taoist disciple who had never learned any alchemy.

Recalling the last time he condensed the pill fire, he seemed extremely unfamiliar with it and looked like it was going to take him at least half an hour to condense it.

But now.

It’s only been a month.

Gu Zecang, whom they treated as a joke for a month, had become a monster that could condense pill fire with a flip of his palm!

Could it be…

At this moment, the expressions of many of the surrounding Pill Peak disciples gradually changed.

A strong thought appeared in their minds.

“Cough, cough.”

Just as all sorts of thoughts emerged in the minds of the surrounding disciples, a light cough sounded and then someone said, “The pill fire is only the threshold and foundation of alchemy.”

“The true evaluation of alchemy is only until the pill is refined.”

“Without successfully refining the pill to the optimal level, no matter how much you know, you are just an empty shell.”

The source of the voice was Li Ce.

Just now, after seeing Gu Zecang condense the pill fire a second time. he had already deeply realized that this time, Gu Zecang had some real ability.

That kind of pure pill fire.

At that time, even Hall Master Han, who was sitting behind him, couldn’t condense it.

But…

It was precisely because of this reason, his side could not panic even more.

Especially when he swept his gaze over the surrounding Pill Hall disciples, his gaze began to show uncertain thoughts.

He had to quickly calm down and think of something to break this situation.

As expected, after he said this, the gazes of the surrounding disciples also gradually calmed down.

They shifted their attention from thinking to the pill refining competition in front of them.

That’s right.

Everything still depended on whether the pill could be successfully refined in the end.

As well as the completion rate of the pill after the pill was formed.

This was the most important thing.

The surrounding disciples thought in their hearts, and then their gazes fell onto the two people in front of the cauldron.

At this moment.

Bang!

A soft sound was suddenly heard.

Under the gazes of the surrounding alchemy disciples, Wu Hao had already completed the heating of the cauldron.

He had officially started refining the pill!

At the same time, he placed the medicinal herbs into the cauldron one by one.

Then, according to his usual refining process, he began to wait for the medicinal essence of the pill to be extracted by the pill fire and then deconstructed within the cauldron.

At this moment.

Gu Zecang, who had completed condensing the pill fire at almost the same time as him, did not make any movement.

He was still in the process of wrapping the pill fire with spiritual power and slowly heating it under the cauldron.

This scene fell into the eyes of the crowd.

It immediately attracted the attention of some onlookers.

“This… the time for opening the cauldron has passed, hasn’t it?”

“Yeah, the two of them heated the cauldron at the same time. The heat of the cauldron is enough now.”

“Junior Brother Wu Hao’s timing is still very accurate. As expected of the most popular Rank 1 alchemy disciple of our Pill Peak recently.”

“Now it’s exposed. I already said that Gu Zecang doesn’t know alchemy at all. He doesn’t even know the minimum time to open the cauldron and heat it.”

“It can’t be. Don’t tell me that someone thinks that being able to condense a pill fire means that they know alchemy.”

However, after witnessing two rounds of instantly condensing the pill fire, there was less ridicule towards Gu Zecang amidst these voices.

However, most of them were still skeptical upon seeing this scene.

Han Daobai stroked his beard and frowned, not saying a word.

On the other hand, Li Ce was full of smiles.

After seeing how Gu Zecang condensed the pill fire just now, he had to admit there were a few moments where he panicked.

He really panicked.

This matter was so huge.

If Gu Zecang had the quality of a Rank 1 alchemist and refined a pill, then Pill Peak’s reputation would be tarnished again.

At the same time, Gu Zecang was a Core Formation cultivator. If he wanted twenty times more medicinal pill resources, then he would have to take them out of the resources of his Pill Hall. That would be a huge loss.

Especially since he once said that he would eat the tree at the entrance of the Pill Hall…

But now, he could finally be at ease.

Although the matter of opening the cauldron was small, it was extremely important.

If the opening of the cauldron was brought forward, without properly heating the cauldron, it would be very difficult to extract the essence of the medicinal herbs. It would be extremely easy for inferior pills with extremely low completion rates to appear.

And for someone like Gu Zecang who opened the cauldron too late, it would be extremely difficult to control the extraction of the essence of the medicinal herbs in the cauldron. It would be extremely easy for the pill refinement to fail.

After seeing such an unprofessional method appear in front of him, Li Ce understood that in this alchemy competition, their Pill Peak would win in the end.

The next moment.

Gu Zecang, who had been sitting cross-legged, using the pill fire to heat the pill cauldron, finally made his move!
