Thousands and thousands of divine spirit herb combinations were deduced in Ning Cheng’s sea of consciousness, combining again and again, and at this time, Ning Cheng’s entire mind and soul were fused with these deduced dan recipes.
Time passed little by little, Ning Cheng had deduced hundreds of Dan recipes in three days, but he was never sure that he could refine the Dao Shaping Dao Pill.
If he was given a few more ovens of these divine spirit herbs and more time, Ning Cheng believed that he could definitely deduce a Dao-shaping Dao Pill using these five divine spirit herbs as the main spirit herbs. But now, he was too rushed for time.
Six days were coming up, and the fragrance of pills was already coming out of Lu Dong Ce’s dan furnace, while Ning Cheng had not moved since he had sacrificed a dan furnace. Or rather, apart from kneading the five divine Spirit Grasses in his hand around, there had been no more movements. The Chaos First Furnace had been sacrificed, but unfortunately, no fire had been started until now.
Some people began to shake their heads, knowing that Ning Cheng would lose, none of them expected Ning Cheng to lose so ugly. Six days were about to pass and now Ning Cheng hadn’t even put the divine Spirit Grass into the furnace, this was simply disastrous.
At this moment, no one bothered to look at Ning Cheng any longer, all eyes fell on Lu Dong Ce’s body. The Dan Skill in Lu Dong Ce’s hand was even more continuous, even those who did not know how to refine pills knew that Lu Dong Ce’s pills were about to take shape.
Ning Cheng sighed and lifted his head from his immersion in the Dan recipe deduction. Immediately afterwards, he saw several pills flying out of Lu Dong Ce’s dan furnace and landing in a jade bottle on the side.
Lu Dong Ce panted, and at that exact moment he saw Ning Cheng’s gaze, and then said blandly, “Dan Master Ning, my pills have been refined, and there is still an hour until the end of the competition, but I see that Dan Saint Ning hasn’t started yet, huh?”
Although Lu Dong Ce’s tone was bland, Ning Cheng still heard some disdain in his tone.
No one made a sound to ridicule Ning Cheng, and all of them looked at that jade bottle of Lu Dong Ce’s with envy. It was not how good the pills that Lu Dong Ce had refined were. Rather, it was that Lu Dong Ce’s Dan Dao level had reached a height that no one else could reach. In six days, he had deduced a new dan recipe, and had also successfully refined this one potion. How many people could match this level of dan dao?
Ning Cheng also had a secret admiration in his heart. If he did not have the Creation Treasure, he would be far from being able to match Lu Dong Ce.
In light of Ning Cheng’s sophistry, although the purple robed man looked at Ning Cheng, he did not say anything, after all, the six days had not yet arrived.
Ning Cheng ignored Lu Dong Ce, no matter how much he admired Lu Dong Ce’s Dan Dao level, he had to dry up and defeat him now.
According to his idea, it was to refine a Dao Shaping Dao Pill. If he made a Dao-shaping Dao Dan. Then Lu Dong Ce would definitely be defeated. However, Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment and still did not choose to refine a Dao Pill. He was not certain that he could successfully refine the Dao Pill he had deduced, his certainty was only 20% at most. If he were to refine a Dao-shaping divine Pill, he would be 80% certain. To refine a Dao Nurturing Divine Pill, he was 60% certain.
What a pity, if only he had been given one more day, he could have increased his certainty of the Dao-shaping Dao Pill to 40%. With a forty percent chance, he would be able to refine it.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng still decided to refine a Dao Shaping Divine Pill. Since Lu Dong Ce had refined a Dao-shaping Divine Pill, it was at least all Dao-shaping Divine Pills. If he were to refine a Dao-shaping divine Pill as well. Even if he succeeded, he would not necessarily win.
Just when all the people thought that Ning Cheng would wait until the time was over and simply admit defeat. Ning Cheng struck out a flame as white as snow. Immediately afterwards, he took out another fifty divine spirit herbs and piled them on the side, then one by one, all these divine spirit herbs were thrown into the dan furnace by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng finally began to refine the pills, at which point the few people who wanted to speak also hurriedly stared at Ning Cheng’s movements.
Soon the crowd was astonished, Ning Cheng’s movements were like flowing clouds and water without a single moment of procrastination. It was completely different from the previous situation where Lu Dong Ce was refining pills and had to think about a divine spirit herb for a long time.
After just a dozen breaths, the five divine Spirit Grasses that were in front of him for the examination were all thrown into the dan furnace by Ning Cheng. Not only that, the fifty divine Spirit Grasses that Ning Cheng himself had taken out were also all thrown into the dan furnace.
Some people came to understand that Ning Cheng and Lu Dong Ce were using two methods. The method used by Lu Dong Ce was to push while refining. The method used by Ning Cheng was to deduce the dan recipe first and then directly refine it.
It had to be said that Ning Cheng’s method was a little more difficult. No matter where one was, practice was also the most important means of deduction. Ning Cheng did not need to practise. He deduced the dan recipe and then directly refined it. This method was dangerous, once there was the slightest mistake that could not be controlled, the potion might be directly scrapped.
Without the need to consider the rule dao rhythms in the Divine Spirit Grass, Ning Cheng’s refining was much easier. Not only did he add all five kinds of divine Spirit Grasses into this potion, the refining was also very smooth, half a pillar of incense passed and Ning Cheng did not encounter half a difficulty.
Just as Ning Cheng was incorporating the Dan liquid proposed by the Silver Ring Fruit, the entire Dan liquid essence in the entire furnace suddenly went violent. It was like a bomb that was about to explode at any moment, and Ning Cheng was greatly alarmed in his heart. He must not let this Dan Liquid explode, once it did, then his furnace would be ruined.
Ning Cheng had cultivated the Dark Underworld Devouring God Scroll, and at this time, he still had a solution, which was for his divine sense to forcibly grab the Silver Ring Fruit Dan Liquid that had just been incorporated into it and crush it. In this way, he would be using only four divine Spirit Grasses for this pill.
With the Dan Dao powerhouses here, whether or not a Yudao Divine Pill used all five divine Spirit Grasses, someone could just crush a bit and look at it to know. Only four divine spirit herbs were secondary, but the main thing was that he had to have the Silver Ring Fruit in his Dan formula deduction, and if it was missing, it would be a failure.
The medicinal properties of the Silver Ring Fruit appeared in Ning Cheng’s consciousness, the Silver Ring Fruit was a metallic divine spirit herb that did not contain rules, yet carried a killing nature with a tearing effect.
But why would this divine spirit herb produce such a terrible consequence when added to the dan liquid? Ning Cheng didn’t even have time to think clearly about this question, he didn’t hesitate to incorporate the Danxia Wing’s medicinal essence into it, if he thought any further the Dan essence would explode.
The Silver Ring Fruit was metallic and the Danxia Wing was woody, compatible with each other.
Quickly incorporating the Danxia Wing’s Pill Liquid Essence was just a solution that Ning Cheng had no choice in his anxiety. To Ning Cheng’s surprise, as soon as the Danxia Wing was fused in, the violent aura instantly calmed down, and he only had to control the Dan rhythm of the divine Dan instantly.
Even though Ning Cheng was refining his pills in the ban, the people around him still sensed that Ning Cheng’s pills were almost ruined.
Regardless of whether Ning Cheng’s pills were almost ruined or not, the majority of people’s opinion of Ning Cheng had changed, as Ning Cheng was able to refine a pellet to this extent, regardless of whether he won or lost in the end. Ning Cheng was someone who had true ability.
Ning Cheng was at this moment thinking about why this had just happened, the Heavenly Fox Twin Leaf Scales and the Rule Dao Rhyme in the Clear Wind Immortal Claw had both been ignored by him. This made it much less difficult for him to refine the pills, and neither these two herbs nor the herbs he added would cause the Silver Ring Fruit’s violent aura to spill out.
The auxiliary divine spirit herb he added, Dan Xia Wing, was even less likely to be bad. That was an important divine spirit herb that would redeem this potion, and the only thing that could possibly go bad was the Sakyamuni flower.
That’s right. The Sakyamuni flower is an attributeless divine spirit herb that has a substantial incremental rule effect. Originally, if he had refined the Dao Shaping Dao Dan, this substantial incremental effect would have been nothing. It was just that he had lowered the elixir to a Dao-shaping divine elixir and used a higher grade divine spirit herb to refine a lower grade divine elixir, losing some of the elixir essence. These depleted Dan liquid essences prompted the medicinal burst of the Silver Ring Fruit.
The Danxia Wing is a supplementary divine spirit herb added to quell this outbreak. The wood-attributed divine spirit herb directly rubs away the metallic Silver Ring fruit’s sharpness. It eventually became a dan. Crucially, the first time he used an attributeless divine spirit herb, he was not sure enough about the release flower. Fortunately, he did not choose the Dao Shaping Dao Pill, otherwise he would have died an ugly death. That violent aura, coupled with the rule dao rhyme in it, would not have stopped even the Danxia Wings from bursting the furnace.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng sucked in cold air in his heart. By this time, he was certain that the purple-robed man had already known what kind of pills the five divine Spirit Grasses could be combined into, otherwise, he would not have taken out the auxiliary divine Spirit Grass Dan Xia Wing.
These old guys. There wasn’t a single weakling.
Unfortunately, he was slightly late in joining the Danxia Wing.
“Ding ding dong dong!” Twelve consecutive green-coloured rays of light flew out from Ning Cheng’s Dan Furnace and landed among the jade bottles that Ning Cheng had prepared long ago.
Ning Cheng placed the jade bottles on the table in front of him. He cupped his fist to the purple-robed man and said, “I have also finished refining it, please judge senior Kong.”
Ning Cheng still had some regrets in his heart because he did not control the Silver Ring Fruit properly, making him a few breaths late in adding it to the Danxia Wing. This furnace of pills was not perfect, and only two Extraordinary Divine Pills were obtained. According to his prediction, this furnace of pills would have been at least 80% Extraordinary Grade Pills only.
“Not bad.” The purple-robed man nodded, there was still half an hour until the end of the six-day period. In other words, Ning Cheng had finished refining this potion within half an hour.
The purple-robed man finished speaking with a wave of his hand. The jade bottles in front of Ning Cheng, the jade bottles in front of Dong Ce, both fell in front of him, and he opened the two jade bottles. In each of them, he poured out a pill.
Although the purple-robed man did not close the jade bottles, no one used their divine sense to peer into the jade bottles.
An incense stick later. The purple-robed man suddenly took out two jade trays and poured both bottles of pills on top of them, “Now everyone take a look at the pills refined by Club Master Lu and Dan Master Ning.”
After receiving the purple-robed man’s permission, the eyes and divine sense of the crowd fell on the two jade trays. A moment later, the vast majority of people’s gazes rose in shock.
Only then did the purple-robed man say, “The pills that Lord Lu and Master Ning refined just now were both Nurtured Dao Divine Pills, both with twelve completed pills, two Extraordinary Pills and ten Superior Pills, and both of them used all five types of Divine Spirit Herbs from the first round. It can be said that to be able to deduce the recipe and successfully refine the Yudao Divine Pill within six days, this level of dan dao stands at the pinnacle among the entire Five Realms.”
The crowd was silent, before the second round of the competition, absolutely no one thought that Ning Cheng would be able to refine the same pills as Lu Dong Ce, because it was simply impossible. It was not that Lu Dong Ce was impossible, but rather that Ning Cheng did not have that ability. Unexpectedly, not only did Ning Cheng refine it, the quality and grade of the finished pills were not weaker than Lu Dong Ce’s at all.
Even Lu Dong Ce was shocked beyond belief, the reason he was able to deduce this potion was because he had the Yu Zhi Cao Mu. If he did not have the book, he was sure he would have lost.
“I will now judge the highs and lows of this competition between the two, and if there are any mistakes in the judgement, please correct me.” The purple-robed man finished with a fist clasp to show that he was being fair.
