Chapter 2842: Pill Formation

Chapter 2842: Chapter 2842: Pill Formation

The Dan Master Tournament in the Divine Venerable Realm has only progressed for ten minutes.

Over half of the Divine Venerable Realm alchemists remain stuck at the first step, still engaged in Divine Medicine Liquefaction.

The alchemists watching the competition around the square all understand that barring unforeseen circumstances, these lagging Divine Venerable Realm alchemists are already out of contention for the top three.

And the one making the quickest progress, Fang Bai, has naturally become the focus of all.

All the alchemists watching the competition are speculating.

Some speculate how much ahead of time Fang Bai can produce the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Some speculate whether Fang Bai can finally succeed in Solidifying the Pill.

Some speculate how many Marrow Cleansing Pills Fang Bai can produce.

Some alchemists feel that Fang Bai’s focus on speed without a solid foundation might lead to failure, ending in vain.

"Fang Bai, you must succeed!"

Rongrong nervously tugged at the corner of her sleeve, talking to herself.

The Great Might Divine King patted the back of her hand and said softly, "Don’t worry. Look at that guy Fang Bai, so full of confidence; he will surely succeed!"

At this moment, a stir erupted among the alchemists around the square.

"Look quickly! That alchemist’s ten Divine Elixirs have already taken shape!"

"Now just watch his final Pill Condensation Technique!"

"I wonder how many Marrow Cleansing Pills he can produce!"

"In speed, he is far ahead; if he succeeds in producing even one Marrow Cleansing Pill, he might have a chance for the top three!"

"Let’s wait and see!"

...

The alchemists kept their eyes on Fang Bai, waiting to see if he could solidify the pill successfully.

Ten yet-to-be-fully-formed Divine Elixirs spun endlessly above Fang Bai’s palm within the Divine Fire, becoming increasingly like a genuine Divine Elixir.

"Solidify the Pill!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Bai rapidly formed the Pill Technique with his left hand, then cast it at the ten Divine Elixirs in the Divine Fire of his right hand.

"Boom!"

The Divine Fire suddenly blazed intensely, growing several times brighter and dazzling.

"The pill is complete!"

An alchemist smelled the rich fragrance of an elixir, precisely belonging to the Divine Venerable Realm Marrow Cleansing Pill, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

All the alchemists’ eyes were wide open, looking at Fang Bai’s right palm held upward.

In his palm lay five Marrow Cleansing Pills of the Divine Venerable Realm, slightly smaller than pigeon eggs, nestled closely together, entirely green and continuously emitting the fragrance of the elixir.

And on the ground in front of Fang Bai, five incomplete lumps of medicine had fallen.

"What a pity, five wasted!"

"A fifty percent pill formation rate is already extremely impressive, right?"

"Wow, that guy is truly hiding his talent!"

"With such a lead in speed and such a high formation rate, I guarantee he’s definitely one of the top three Divine Venerable Realm alchemists!"

"I just wonder what grade his elixirs are!"

"Even if they’re only of medium grade, he’s solidly in the top three!"

"Basically, it’s equivalent to securing a spot to enter the Divine Medicine Valley; I’m so envious!"

...

Though successful in alchemy, Fang Bai’s face showed no pride or arrogance.

In front of everyone, he stood up slowly, carrying the five Marrow Cleansing Pills of the Divine Venerable Realm, and walked to the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists ahead.

"Please identify these, dear Upper Gods!"

Fang Bai respectfully said to the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists.

The two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists nodded each, and then the five Marrow Cleansing Pills flew from Fang Bai’s hand to hover before the burly Divine King Realm high-grade alchemist.

"Let me verify them first!"

The burly Divine King Realm high-grade alchemist said, focusing intently on the five Marrow Cleansing Pills crafted by Fang Bai.

After several breaths, the five Marrow Cleansing Pills floated over to the white-haired, white-bearded Divine King Realm high-grade alchemist.

"I’ve checked them, you take a look too!"

After handing over the five Marrow Cleansing Pills, the burly Divine King Realm high-grade alchemist looked at Fang Bai with great interest.

"Excellent... excellent... truly a rare genius in alchemy!"

A moment later, the white-haired, white-bearded Divine King Realm high-grade alchemist exclaimed in praise.

"Young man, would you be willing to become my apprentice to learn alchemy?"

"I wish to take you as my disciple to inherit my alchemical skills. Are you willing?"

After Fang Bai stored away the five Marrow Cleansing Pills, both high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists almost simultaneously extended the offer to Fang Bai.

The alchemists on the square heard this, their eyes filled with envy.

They had come to Tianlin Star, primarily to participate in the Dan Master Tournament to gain a spot in Divine Medicine Valley; secondarily, to curry favor with the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists.

However, since their arrival, the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists remained secluded, not accepting visits from any alchemist.

The stronger the alchemist, the stranger and more aloof they were, something all alchemists clearly understood, so even when repeatedly shut out, they dared not complain.

What they didn’t anticipate was that the two Divine King Realm high-grade alchemists, previously out of reach, would simultaneously extend an olive branch to Fang Bai, both wishing to take him as a disciple.

Such an opportunity is extremely rare, and any one of them would probably be so excited they couldn’t contain themselves, joyfully dancing around.

Yet they found Fang Bai’s expression remained unchanged, as if it were the most natural thing.

"I..."

Facing the earnest gazes of the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists, Fang Bai shook his head and said, "I don’t want an apprenticeship."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists pause in shock, but so did all the other alchemists around the plaza.

They couldn’t comprehend why Fang Bai would reject them so firmly.

Those were two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists!

Another alchemist, given such a chance, would be overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down, and promptly choose one to be their master.

But this youngster, he just resolutely refused without any hesitation!

Is he crazy or stupid?

All the alchemists looked at Fang Bai with odd expressions, wishing they could rush over, pry open his skull, and see if there was something wrong with his brain.

"Grandpa, why would Fang Bai do this?"

Rongrong asked in puzzlement.

The Great Might Divine King also looked perplexed, shaking his head, "I don’t know, that boy’s actions are truly unexpected!"

None of the alchemists could understand Fang Bai.

"Why?"

The two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists asked in unison.

They believed Fang Bai wouldn’t refuse them without reason, thinking he might have some unspeakable difficulty.

Fang Bai spread his hands, "This... let’s wait until the Dan Master Tournament is over to discuss further. For now, I just want to know if I have a chance to enter the Divine Medicine Valley."

If it were any other alchemist speaking in this manner, the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists might have been angered.

But with Fang Bai saying it, the two high-grade Divine King Realm alchemists felt there was nothing inappropriate.
