"The final challenge is refining the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill!"

Many who saw the contents of the storage ring were all panicked.

It turns out this Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill is a Sixth-level Elixir nearly reaching Seventh-level.

Generally, such Sixth-level Elixirs nearing Seventh-level are called Sixth-grade High-grade Elixir.

Undoubtedly, the final challenge is a test of true strength.

"The climax really is different!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath.

He quickly deduced in his mind and found that the Elixir Recipe for the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill was correct.

Everyone present released their Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, bringing their strength to a peak state.

After 15 minutes, they had all simulated the alchemy process in their minds and, once confirmed there were no mistakes, immediately started alchemy.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Flames surged from the ground, then merged with the Alchemist's Soul Fire, jointly refining the Spiritual Medicine within the Alchemy Furnace.

Like the others, Duan Gujin first mulled over it, confirming the Elixir Pills and alchemy steps were correct, then he began to refine elixir.

This was an alchemy examination of true talent, without room for any falsehood.

During the alchemy process, a slight mistake could lead to an exploding pill.

Therefore, all contestants present were highly tense, focusing intently on alchemy.

In fact, the contestants present were the cream of the younger generation, many of whom had learned from their masters and had refined the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill countless times.

Thus, everyone there knew that the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill had a significant characteristic: during its refinement, there was one step that was exceedingly unstable.

Whenever an Alchemist reached this unstable step of alchemy, they would often separate this step alone.

That is to say, once they entered this alchemy step, Alchemists would first take out the Elixir Pills inside the Pill Furnace that had not yet successfully refined and put them into an Elixir Medicine Bottle, then the Alchemist would continue to proceed with that one step of alchemy.

This independent alchemy step, even if the Alchemists repeatedly made mistakes, did not matter much.

But if an Alchemist's alchemy skills were not up to par, then this independent step could not be completed, and ultimately, the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill could not be refined.

And in the steps of refining the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill, it was precisely that independent alchemy step that was the most difficult to complete, requiring an Alchemist's control over Soul Fire and Spiritual Power to nearly reach the capabilities of a Seventh-level Alchemist.

For many Fifth-level Alchemists, that independent step in refining the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill was the most painful step of all.

Time slowly ticked by.

Two hours had passed, and among the contestants present, the skilled Alchemist Duan Gujin had already completed the previous steps.

Next, he was about to enter that independent alchemy step.

In his previous life when refining, Duan Gujin had devised a unique alchemy technique to stabilize that most unstable alchemy process.

But he was not interested in showing off here now, nor did he want to attract the attention of certain individuals.

"I mustn't let the Liu Yun Immortal Sect connected with the Divine World know about my possessing the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul; if they find out, the consequences would be unimaginable! This is a risk I can't afford to take!"

Duan Gujin only wished to earnestly enhance his own Cultivation while avoiding attracting the attention of certain powerful enemies.

Therefore, he separated out that independent alchemy step.

15 minutes later, he had fused the newly refined Elixir in the Alchemy Furnace with the half-finished Elixir Pills he had placed in the Elixir Medicine Bottle.

Sizzling!

After a while, the alchemy furnace began to emit strong, fragrant odors.

Many nearby contestants smelled the rich fragrance and cast their Divine Sense into Duan Gujin's Pill Furnace.

When they saw through Divine Sense Inspection that Duan Gujin had already refined a handful of white, crystal-clear Elixir Powder, their faces changed dramatically and they were astonished, knowing that Duan Gujin had successfully navigated the most challenging independent step in alchemy.

"My heavens!"

Many people inwardly exclaimed, prompting many to hasten their own pace.

A moment later, many contestants began to attempt the independent alchemy step.

However, very soon, all of them turned pale, having failed.

Fortunately, failing this independent alchemy step did not affect the Elixir Pills they had already successfully refined.

Otherwise, by now many contestants would have already left this place.

After all, with limited time, even if they were to start over, they might not have the time or energy to successfully refine the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill.

Soon, many contestants had failed as many as seven or eight times.

But at this time, Duan Gujin had already ceased the Earth Fire and then retrieved the refined elixir medicine from the Pill Furnace.

Initially, he was quite worried that he might not be able to refine the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill.

But as he began refining, he discovered that the space he was in was filled with abundant Primordial Energy.

The more abundant the Primordial Energy of a place, the easier it is to successfully refine Elixir Pills there.

Previously, Duan Gujin thought he would at least have to retry the independent alchemy step a few times before possibly succeeding.

But even he did not expect that he would succeed on the very first try.

In his previous life, he had personally attempted over a hundred times before he finally grasped some patterns.

The reason why the independent step of the Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pill is so difficult to refine is that, during this step, it triggers a very special Spiritual Medicine.

The moment this Spiritual Medicine comes into contact with high temperatures, it immediately undergoes a change, and that change depends on the temperature it encounters.

If the temperature is too low, a large portion of that Spiritual Medicine will remain, its medicinal properties will not be activated, and the medicine will be wasted.

If the temperature is too low, the Spiritual Medicine will completely burn up, leaving no residue.

Therefore, during the process of this Spiritual Medicine's contact with the high temperatures in the alchemy furnace, one must be very careful and mindful of the surrounding temperature changes.

Basically, to successfully complete this independent alchemy step, an alchemist must within less than three seconds place the newly refined elixir in another high-temperature environment suitable for it.

If the new elixir can't be placed within three seconds into another suitable high-temperature environment, it will be completely ruined.

Although many high-level alchemists have shared the secrets of this independent step with their disciples, and those disciples have surely conducted countless simulations, achieving the feat of transferring an elixir from one high-temperature environment to another suitable one within three seconds is extremely challenging!

To successfully complete this independent alchemy step, an alchemist's Spiritual Power and mastery over Soul Fire must be very precise.

Any small negligence can lead to failure.

Thus, during this process, an alchemist absolutely cannot be distracted.

Duan Gujin then took out the successfully refined Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pills from the Pill Furnace and placed them on the table.

After a while, the temperature on those elixir medicines on the table finally dissipated.

At this point, those Spirit-controlling Heavenly Pills had turned into a pile of round blue pills.

Moreover, these round blue pills were also emitting strong fragrant odors.
