Chapter 3623: You Need To Work Harder

The other party was confident that he could successfully refine a grade 4 pill…

Elder Bao took a deep look at Xiao Fan and firmly etched his appearance into his mind.

Confidence.

Unparalleled confidence.

Elder Bao had seen too many servants in hemp robes wanting to join the Biyun Divine Palace before.

But never had anyone possessed a gaze like Xiao Fan's.

Focused, confident.

At this moment, Xiao Fan's expression was grave as he continuously poured spiritual power into the Pill Furnace, controlling the heat for the various Heaven And Earth Treasure.

This was also his first time refining a grade 4 Cangmang Pill…

So there were many unfamiliar aspects, but with Xiao Fan's Alchemy attainment, overcoming these minor troubles was nothing.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"…

"Rumble" "Rumble"

Time passed minute by minute, and soon three hours had gone by; some people successfully refined their Medicinal Pill, while others caused their Pill Furnace to explode.

The result of a furnace explosion was being swept away by Elder Bao's wave of his hand, person and furnace alike flying out of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.

"Trash… with just this level of skill, you dare to show off before this old man…" Elder Bao cursed and grumbled, his face livid with anger.

Every time someone caused a furnace explosion, Elder Bao had to act immediately to prevent the aftershocks from destroying the Internal Affairs Pavilion, which was why Elder Bao was so furious.

In comparison, those refining Magical Artifacts were much safer; at worst, they would ruin the Magical Artifact, which wouldn't trigger an explosion or incur Elder Bao's dissatisfaction—at most, they would just receive Elder Bao's look of disdain…

At this moment, Xiao Fan, Cang Wu, and many others had not yet finished their Alchemy.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Xiao Fan's forehead; mastering the heat for a grade 4 Divine Pill was exhausting.

On the other hand, Xiao Fan dared not use his Demon Flame, and there were many other means he dared not employ; in comparison, using an ordinary Fire-Attribute Cultivation Technique was much worse.

However, Xiao Fan still held on bit by bit, striving to make the grade 4 Cangmang Pill take shape.

In fact, besides his Prodigy-level talent, Xiao Fan had one other trait that far exceeded ordinary people: focus…

At this moment, Xiao Fan poured his entire being into the Alchemy, reaching the state of unity between man and furnace.

Xiao Fan did not care about the many gazes nearby; his mind was entirely focused on how to carefully refine the Cangmang Pill well…

"As expected…" To the side, Cang Wu shook his head. Seeing Xiao Fan's nervous expression, he felt that the other party would definitely fail to refine it.

And now, Cang Wu's Medicinal Pill was nearly formed.

Once the grade 4 pill was successfully refined, after joining the Biyun Divine Palace, Cang Wu would have a great advantage over others… If his luck was Heaven-Defying, he might even catch the eye of an Alchemy Elder from the Biyun Divine Palace and be directly promoted to a Red-robed Disciple.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"…

"Rumble"

Not long after, Cang Wu finished refining his Medicinal Pill, and rolling blue smoke rose up…

"Rise!!" Cang Wu shouted sharply, and the furnace lid flew up in response.

The crowd nearby all looked over, and Elder Bao was naturally the same…

The thick medicinal mist slowly transformed into a Dragon and Tiger, forming the phantom of a strange beast…

"A Pill Phenomenon… this… this is actually a Dragon-Tiger Pill Phenomenon…"

"Heavens, this Cang Wu's Alchemy attainment is actually this strong!"

"A Pill Phenomenon, my heavens!"

"…"

The crowd was dumbfounded, their jaws dropping one by one; the way they looked at Cang Wu was filled with awe.

A Pill Phenomenon. To have a Pill Phenomenon appear while refining a grade 4 Divine Pill was enough to prove Cang Wu's talent.

Seeing the Dragon-Tiger Pill Phenomenon, Cang Wu was stunned at first, then overjoyed: "Hahaha… A Pill Phenomenon, a Pill Phenomenon has actually appeared…"

At this moment, Cang Wu was extremely excited; it was his first time seeing a Pill Phenomenon too.

He never imagined that his luck would be so Heaven-Defying. For a Pill Phenomenon to appear during his first time refining a pill, and it happened to be during the assessment.

At this moment, Cang Wu was incredibly excited, feeling that he would definitely be able to join the Biyun Divine Palace this time.

Upon seeing the Dragon-Tiger Pill Phenomenon, Elder Bao was equally stunned, and his gaze toward Cang Wu changed instantly.

"Cang Wu, you are very good…"

"Hahaha… Many thanks for the praise, Elder Bao!" Cang Wu cupped his hands respectfully, his heart filled with immense excitement.

Elder Bao nodded slowly, then took out a Jade Slip and informed the Alchemy Elder of the Biyun Divine Palace about the appearance of the Pill Phenomenon.

This was something the Alchemy Elder had instructed beforehand: if anyone participating in the assessment produced a Pill Phenomenon, regardless of who they were, he must be informed immediately…

Alchemy is different from Cultivation; it mainly relies on talent, and the Alchemy Elder of the Biyun Divine Palace was afraid of missing out on talent.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fan was still focused on his Alchemy, completely ignoring the phenomenon Cang Wu had created to the side…

It was merely a Pill Phenomenon; it wasn't as if Xiao Fan hadn't seen one before…

Refining a grade 4 Cangmang Pill for the first time, Xiao Fan was nervous, worried that he would fail the refining process.

Seeing Xiao Fan still focused on his Alchemy, Cang Wu crossed his arms and smiled faintly: "Brother Bufan, you need to work harder…"
