Refining Pharmacist Competition (5)

As the crowd witnessed the failure of the alchemist, a collective sigh of relief escaped them. After all, this alchemist belonged to the Medicine Sect.

Situ Yan, who had a slightly unpleasant expression before, visibly eased up upon witnessing this scene.

The smile on Gu Weixiong's face faded away, returning to his usual demeanor. These two failed disciples were momentarily embarrassed and flustered but quickly regained their composure and continued their refining.

With only two hours left, as long as they increased their speed, there was still a chance to catch up!

Bai Li Hongzhuang remained oblivious to everything happening around her. Her eyes, ears, and mind were solely focused on the changes within the pill furnace.

Having previously attempted refining the Rejuvenation Pill herself, she had a certain grasp of the process. At this crucial moment, she couldn't let herself be influenced by others. This held true not only for Bai Li Hongzhuang but also for Shangguan Yufeng and Chu Qianyi. However, not all the other alchemists could achieve such a state of mind.

In this critical moment of integration, under the watchful gaze of the crowd and the influence of other alchemists, failure was likely to occur.

In the following moments, the sounds of failure echoed one after another, as a total of eight disciples out of the initial twenty had already fallen into failure.

Witnessing this scene, the disciples present felt a deeper sense of awe. Alchemy was indeed not an easy task, as a slight mistake could lead to failure. Seeing so many precious medicinal ingredients turning into nothingness was truly regrettable.

It was precisely because higher-grade pills had a high failure rate that their value was even more exorbitant. However, when the crowd noticed that Bai Li Hongzhuang was not among the failed alchemists, they were somewhat astonished.

They never expected that Bai Li Hongzhuang could persist for so long, surpassing their expectations by far.

As the number of failed alchemists increased, those who were initially panicking regained their composure and started their second attempt at refining pills. After all, it wasn't just them who had failed. As long as they seized the remaining time, they still had a chance. If they delayed any further, it would mean direct failure.

After this turn of events, the atmosphere became even more tense. Bai Li Hongzhuang carefully controlled the temperature, ensuring no deviations occurred. Under her precise control, the essence of all the medicinal ingredients gradually merged together.

Although there were some repelling reactions, Bai Li Hongzhuang's control was excellent. As long as no problems arose, the fusion was only a matter of time.

Shangguan Yufeng and Chu Qianyi seemed unaffected by the surroundings. They both understood that the performance of other disciples was irrelevant. The most important thing was their own performance. Only if they performed well could they win this competition.

Both of them carried a heavy burden and were unwilling to let their sect lose face.

Half an hour quietly passed, and the pills in the furnaces of the alchemists who hadn't failed yet were gradually taking shape. However, this moment was still extremely crucial. As long as the pills weren't successfully refined, they remained fragile. The slightest control deviation could ruin all their previous efforts.

Shangguan Yufeng and Chu Qianyi wore faint smiles of confidence on their faces. The pills they were refining had essentially taken form!
