Chapter 437: Amazement

Xiao Fan took out his Pill Furnace, which was a primitive-looking bronze alchemy furnace…

He was used to using a bronze alchemy furnace within the star chart, so when purchasing one, he unconsciously chose one like this.

The people around him were doing the same, one by one, taking out their respective Pill Furnaces.

Heavy Pill Furnaces smashed onto the ground, causing the ground to make "bang," "bang" sounds.

For Xiao Fan, refining a Grade 1 Medicinal Pill was too easy.

Besides him, everyone else who dared to participate in this assessment basically had the confidence to refine a Grade 1 Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Fan calmly took out the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine from his Storage Pouch and placed them into the Pill Furnace.

The temperature outside his body rose, a flame appeared in his right hand, and he began to roast the Pill Furnace…

He was using the Azure Flame Art, but not completely; to an ordinary person, it looked like a simple Fire-Attribute Cultivation Technique.

Even Ji Bofeng, who was using the Azure Flame Art to practice Alchemy, didn't notice…

On the field, only Kong Ping, Pill Master Lu Yongzhen, and Jiang Rushuang had sharp eyes and could see through Xiao Fan's disguise at a glance.

Kong Ping was not surprised; he already knew that Xiao Fan had learned the Azure Flame Art.

However, he was slightly astonished that Xiao Fan could use the Azure Flame Art to such an extent, disguising it so well.

Without close observation, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice the differences in the various Cultivation Techniques…

And Jiang Yushan, 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, and the Elder of Shengdan City.

They could see that Xiao Fan's control over the fire was extremely precise and in place…

This ability to control fire was absolutely sufficient even for refining Grade 3 Medicinal Pills.

It must be said that Xiao Fan surprised them all very much.

Jiang Rushuang looked at Kong Ping and smiled via sound transmission: "I didn't expect your Jixian Sect to have recruited such a good seedling."

Kong Ping naturally knew who she was talking about and replied via sound transmission: "Not bad, just so-so…"

Wanting to save face in front of his dream lover, Kong Ping silently gave Xiao Fan a thumbs up.

Xiao Fan didn't plan to make himself too outstanding, nor did he want to refine too quickly; he planned to time it and open the furnace just before it ended.

Moreover, he didn't intend to refine a perfect quality; during the refining process, he left some slight flaws, letting the fire intensity fluctuate…

It was fine to keep the final quality of the Medicinal Pill at a superior level.

He didn't want to be too high-profile; he wanted to keep a low profile…

Time passed slowly, and after two quarters of an hour…

Disciples from the Thunder Fire Sect and Ziyun Cave Heaven had each refined their Medicinal Pills; the quality they refined was a perfect Grade 1 Medicinal Pill.

The speed was fast, and the quality of the Medicinal Pill was extremely high…

This drew exclamations from many people nearby.

Within their Sects, they were also highly anticipated and considered people who would have the chance to become a Grade 4 Alchemist in the future…

Xiao Fan was not in a hurry, looking at the few people who had finished refining with a calm expression.

Afterward, Disciples from large Families successively finished refining their Medicinal Pills.

Meanwhile, on the Jixian Sect side, only one Disciple had just finished, and the quality was only a superior Medicinal Pill…

Xiao Fan's expression was calm, refining slowly and unhurriedly; if he wanted to, this furnace of Medicinal Pills would have been finished long ago…

He was deliberately holding back the heat…

Another half quarter of an hour passed, and Ji Bofeng had also finished refining, being the third Disciple from the Jixian Sect to finish…

The quality he refined also drew exclamations from many people, a perfect Grade 1 Medicinal Pill…

Xiao Fan also had to take another look at Ji Bofeng; the Ji Family's cultivation wasn't much, but this ancestral Cultivation Technique for Alchemy was indeed good…

Ji Bofeng was very excited and left the field.

From now on, he was a Grade 1 Alchemist…

He looked at Xiao Fan, his eyes showing some astonishment…

Xiao Fan hadn't finished refining?

How was this possible? This guy could refine a perfect Grade 1 Medicinal Pill even when using wood to practice Alchemy before…

"Could it be that this guy only knows how to use wood to practice Alchemy?" Ji Bofeng wondered in his heart.

"Not bad, well done."

Upon arriving at the side of the field, Kong Ping nodded slightly to Ji Bofeng, praising the latter's talent.

"Th-Thank you, First Seat…" Ji Bofeng was very excited; the First Seat's recognition made him feel that no matter how much bitterness he suffered or effort he put in, it was all worth it.

At the same time, he was also happy because he had finished refining a step ahead of Xiao Fan, suppressing Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was refining unhurriedly, even feeling a bit sleepy…

"I didn't expect it… wanting to intentionally refine badly is so difficult…" Xiao Fan sighed in his heart. He found that for him now, it was easy to refine a good furnace of Medicinal Pills, but wanting to refine it poorly and control the quality well was too difficult…

After all, he had to make the fire large and small, without letting the Medicinal Pill in the furnace actually be ruined…

And on the field, only the Grade 4 Alchemist and Grade 5 Alchemist could see through this move of his…

Xiao Fan's initial level of fire control could never result in such low-level mistakes during the Alchemy process.

So the other party was doing it on purpose…

It made them all curious; usually, young people were arrogant and afraid of not refining well.

As a result, this guy was actually refining badly on purpose.

Especially Jiang Rushuang and Pill Master Lu Yongzhen; their faces were a bit awkward.

They knew the level of the Disciples under their own Sects too well.

Compared to this dawdling, intentionally slacking Xiao Fan, they were way too far behind…

Finally, when half an hour was almost up, Xiao Fan opened the furnace.

A Grade 1 yiqi pill, superior grade, just a little bit short of reaching perfection…
