Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 490 - 291: Grand Gathering_2

Otherwise, why would Master Tong Yun, an old Alchemy Master, show such courtesy to Li Shiming?

The crucial point was that Li Shiming was so young that even if his realm remained only at the Golden Core Stage, he would still have nearly five hundred years of life expectancy.

Thinking of his descendants, one should not offend an Alchemy Master like Li Shiming, who possessed tremendous potential.

But since Master Yun Ruo had made a choice, Master Tong Yun would not interfere or obstruct, lest he offend both Alchemy Masters.

"Fellow Alchemists, I have some good news to share with everyone. Master Yun Ruo and Master Li will demonstrate Alchemy on-site for you all. The materials for the demonstration will be provided by our sect, and the Spirit Pill to be crafted is the 'Fiery Sun Heavenly Spirit Pill'!" Master Tong Yun announced loudly.

With a buzz, all the Alchemists were thrilled.

This was a live demonstration by an Alchemy Master, something most Alchemists could not even dream of witnessing in person, let alone seeing an Alchemy Master up close.

Not to mention, this time they could see the legendary Master Shiming perform Alchemy himself. The miraculous success rate and the quality of the pills were to be showcased in front of all the Alchemists.

"It's so worth it to attend this grand gathering of Alchemists!" All the Alchemists thought in unison.

"Master Li, please!" Master Yun Ruo said with a smile, standing up and courteously addressing Li Shiming.

"Master Yun, please!" Li Shiming also stood up and replied.

In the center of the great hall, two adjacent areas were designated, with each Alchemy Master occupying one to the left and right.

Master Yun Ruo occupied the left, and Li Shiming the right, each bringing out their Pill Furnaces.

The Pill Furnace brought by Master Yun Ruo was, of course, a treasure Furnace, but when Li Shiming brought out the "Three-Revolution Heavenly Treasure Furnace", the Alchemists' eyes burned fiercely.

The reason was that among the Alchemists, most were merely Foundation Establishment Cultivators, capable of using Pill Furnaces of the same rank as Li Shiming's "Three-Revolution Heavenly Treasure Furnace".

It wasn't that Li Shiming didn't possess better Pill Furnaces. He had received the "Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace" as a reward from his sect, an Alchemy Master's treasure. Unfortunately, his current realm wasn't sufficient to use it.

Li Shiming using the "Three-Revolution Heavenly Treasure Furnace" allowed the Alchemists to see an Alchemy Master using a Spiritual Artifact level Pill Furnace, increasing their immersion.

Master Tong Yun sighed before producing two sets of materials for crafting the "Fiery Sun Heavenly Spirit Pill", allowing both parties to scan with Divine Thought to avoid any trouble from differences in material quality.

Afterward, Master Yun Ruo and Li Shiming each selected a set of materials, sufficient to produce at most three "Fiery Sun Heavenly Spirit Pills." For Master Tong Yun, the value wasn't significant, as the materials were produced internally by the sect and were readily available.

In fact, he had voluntarily taken on the provision of materials for this competition, earning the favor of both Master Yun Ruo and Li Shiming.

Master Tong Yun wasn't young anymore. Though he was striving to cultivate the next generation of Alchemy Masters, the successors always seemed wanting, and he couldn't guarantee that once he passed on his Spiritual Fire, there would be someone capable of sustaining Fire Cloud Valley.

If such an Alchemy Master didn't emerge, then Fire Cloud Valley would need to rely on previous favors to sustain itself until the next competently skilled Alchemy Master appeared.

Fire Cloud Valley's continued inheritance to this day was indeed related to the perseverance of generations of Spiritual Fire successors and their ability to foster relationships.

Li Shiming chose one of the two sets of materials. He was familiar with the "Fiery Sun Heavenly Spirit Pill," as there were over ten crafting records in the IBMz15 database.

Now that his realm had reached Half-step Golden Core, it had significantly improved his control over the Spiritual Fire and enhanced his Divine Thought.

Turning to Master Yun Ruo, they nodded to each other, didn't need a start announcement, and began channeling their Spiritual Fires into the Pill Furnaces simultaneously.

Li Shiming's Divine Thought enveloped the Pill Furnace. From the beginning of crafting the "Fiery Sun Heavenly Spirit Pill," all changes within the Pill Furnace continuously compared data with those within the IBMz15.

Although controlling and responding in the outside world was slower compared to being in the room space, the improvement in his realm had shortened this gap.

The Alchemists watching the alchemy process around them each came up with methods, unable to get too close to the two Alchemy Masters.

However, since everyone was a Cultivator, they had many means at their disposal. Various flying methods allowed them to occupy every most advantageous observatory spot around, and maintaining a distance of at least ten meters from the two Alchemy Masters actually enabled each Alchemist to observe the alchemy process from different angles.

Because both Alchemy Masters employed basic techniques without using any Alchemy Secret Techniques, it made the process very clear to every observer.

The alchemy techniques used by the two Alchemy Masters were known to all Alchemists present; anyone who could be here had a not-so-low level of expertise, which only deepened their sense of participation.

At the start, Master Yun Ruo immediately felt the difference that fame brought, as over eighty percent of the gazes fell on Li Shiming's side.

At this time, he was somewhat annoyed by the perception of the Golden Core cultivators, which enabled him to clearly discern the preferences of the attending Alchemists.

Fortunately, his extensive experience in alchemy kept his mind mostly unaffected.

Li Shiming did not pay attention to others; he did not want to lose, so he had to give it his all.

Since Master Yun Ruo had proposed this challenge, he naturally had quite some confidence.

Cries of astonishment were issued from the Alchemists watching on-site; even though Master Tong Yun issued warnings, they did not affect the Alchemists who were completely engrossed in the alchemy occurring before them.

The Alchemists knew to be quiet, but who could blame them when they saw ordinary techniques repeatedly producing effects beyond their imagination?

Nearing three two-hour periods, Master Yun Ruo sensed the formation of the Dan Liquid in the Pill Furnace; the alchemy was successful, and no further mishaps would occur. Only then did he turn his attention to Li Shiming's alchemy process.

When he smelled the fragrance emanating from the "Three-Revolution Heavenly Treasure Furnace", his expression immediately tightened.

The fragrance released by the "Three-Revolution Heavenly Treasure Furnace" was extremely pure, something that he could only achieve during his best alchemy sessions when luck was on his side.

Keep in mind that was when he could freely use any Alchemy Secret Techniques, and only when he was in his optimal state for alchemy.

His mind became unsettled at this realization, which affected the Dan Liquid inside his Pill Furnace. It started to churn.

He hastily suppressed it; under his vast experience, he managed to control the Dan Liquid and did not fail on the spot.

Not daring to be distracted again, he carefully started to extract the pills.

However, with the furnace open and the Dan Liquid forming, he had tried to extract as much as possible and had suppressed the boiling Dan Liquid, leaving behind a quantity insufficient even for two Spirit Pills.

He had misjudged the amount of the Dan Liquid; in forcefully extracting it, his Divine Thought seized two darkened Spirit Pills.

The Alchemists present, upon seeing the two darkened Spirit Pills, immediately realized what had happened; there had been a mishap.

Li Shiming also noticed the situation at Master Yun Ruo's side; he often multitasked and thus was not disturbed by outside events, remaining focused on his alchemy.

He shook his head, and at the final moment of extracting the pills, he lightly tapped with his finger, utilizing the "Hundred One-point Pill Technique"; he was prepared for failure, so as not to let Master Yun Ruo lose too disgracefully.

What he had not anticipated happened; during his years of alchemy practice, "Hundred One-point Pill Technique" had almost become a necessary operation for every alchemy session.

Thus, the deployment of the "Hundred One-point Pill Technique" almost became instinctive, finding in a split second the one in ten thousand chance that was spoken of as instinctive.

A beam of light fell on the three Spirit Pills, and beside the three real Spirit Pills, three phantom Spirit Pills appeared, furiously absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the great hall, and quickly becoming solid. Ultimately, six Spirit Pills appeared before the eyes of all the Alchemists.
