257 Refining The Essence Gathering Pill
As they spoke, the butler announced the commencement of the competition.
“All the participants of the beast taming ceremony, please come on-stage.”
The voice of Lord Edward came from the hall. Immediately, many young warriors in the hall walked up the steps one after another. Shen Fei and Aloy followed suit.
In a short while, there were only a few people left in the hall.
Aloy stared at Shen Fei and said with a serious face, “Shen Fei, you must pay attention to your safety from now on. Don’t let yourself get injured.”
“I’ll be careful.”
…
Mayor Edward’s voice rang out, “The first round will be a challenge of medicine refinement.”
Then, an old man walked up to the stage with a wooden box in his hand. There was a bottle inside the box.
At this point, the butler paused for a second and said, “Next, please follow your numbers and go up the stage in order.”
The hall was filled with whispers.
Shen Fei’s eyes flashed. “Aloy, let’s get onto the stage together.”
“Alright.” Aloy nodded and walked up the stage with Shen Fei.
Mayor Edward stood on the stage and said with a smile, “Welcome to the competition. The first round of this challenge is about pill refining.
“I know that many of you who have participated in the alchemy ceremony already know the pill formula. However, there is one thing I have to remind you of, and that is that you have to refine an essence gathering pill within the stipulated time!
“The essence gathering pill is a medicinal pill used to assist a martial cultivator in the body tempering realm in increasing the strength of the physical body.
“There’s a limited number of people who can actually refine the essence gathering pill, so I hope everyone doesn’t waste time.”
The Mayor’s voice was loud and clear, reverberating throughout the hall. Everyone immediately fell silent. They held their breath and listened to his instructions carefully.
“I hereby announce the start of the first round.”
Following Lord Edward’s words, everyone in the hall began to take action. Shen Fei and Aloy did the same. They each picked out a few herbs that were laid out nearby to concoct the essence gathering pill and placed them into jade boxes, before setting them aside.
“Alright, let’s start refining the pill!”
Upon seeing this, Lord Edward waved his hand, and a buzzing sound rang out in the hall. Immediately, the pill furnaces lit up with dazzling flames and began to refine the pills.
The cauldron emitted a raging flame, causing the temperature of the entire Hall to rise rapidly.
Shen Fei did not hesitate either. He took out the tools for medicine refining from his storage ring and made his preparations to refine the pills.
After a month of hard training, Shen Fei was very familiar with various materials. Moreover, he had also obtained a new memory, which happened to make alchemy and artifact refining his forte.
Therefore, Shen Fei’s alchemy skills are extremely high in these two areas. He could handle the first round easily.
…
Time passed quietly, and an hour quickly went by. Most of the participants with alchemy experience had successfully completed the task, but there were still some people who failed.
Lord Edward announced the end of the challenge, “The first round has ended! We shall enter the second round of the challenge! You have all done well!”

All of a sudden, many of the participants in the hall became excited and rushed to the next challenge location.
Shen Fei followed them.
The competition this time was not as simple as the first round. This elixir refinement challenge not only required the participants to identify the nature of the spirit herbs contained in the elixir, but also to identify which spirit herbs had the purification effect… And this would also determine the success rate of the pill refinement.
Therefore, most participants would first identify the medicinal properties. These medicinal properties were not very different, but the medicinal effects were, so it would take a period of observation to make a judgment.
Shen Fei did not stay idle either. While watching the competitors, he carefully surveyed the herb garden. Soon after, he found many precious herbs, all of which could be used to purify the medicinal properties.
“Huh, isn’t that…?” Shen Fei’s gaze fell on a plant in the middle of the herb garden.
This plant had a strange appearance. It was purple, and its leaves were round. There was even a purple hole in the stem, which looked like a mouth. The plant was also surrounded by a thick purple mist, and it gave off a refreshing fragrance.
“This is… the purple cloud grass?”
Shen Fei was somewhat surprised. He could feel that the spiritual energy within the purple cloud grass was extremely abundant. It would definitely be a good tonic to add to his own herb garden.
Thinking up to this point, Shen Fei could not help but reveal a look of anticipation. He thought to himself, ‘When this purple cloud grass ripens, I’ll definitely have a taste of it.’
Not long after, an alchemist grandmaster walked over. This person was Wu Tianhao, and he was currently in the lead for the second round.
When Wu Tianhao saw Shen Fei, he was also stunned for a moment. Immediately after that, he revealed a haughty look.
Wu Tianhao was first in the second round, so he was confident he could win. However, when he saw Aloy beside Shen Fei, his heart was filled with jealousy.
This woman was drop-dead gorgeous, and her entire body exuded a seductive aura. She was like the reincarnation of a succubus, making it difficult for people to resist her charms.
This kind of demoness was the natural enemy of men. Especially to nerdy alchemist grandmasters; she was like a deadly psychedelic drug they wanted to consume.
However, Wu Tianhao did not outwardly show his infatuation. He maintained his elegant demeanor and walked over.
“Young sir, my name is Wu Tianhao, and I came in first in the third round. May I know your name?” Wu Tianhao asked, cupping his hands in greeting.
“Young Master Wu, you’re too polite.” Shen Fei smiled and said, “My name is Shen Fei.”
“A good name!” A cold glint flashed in Wu Tianhao’s eyes, and he immediately smiled. “Brother Shen, I wonder if you’ve prepared your medicinal ingredients?”
“Yes, they’re ready.” Shen Fei nodded and took out two jade boxes from his storage ring and handed them over to Wu Tianhao.
Wu Tianhao took the jade box and examined it with his divine sense. He immediately laughed. “Haha, Brother Shen, these are all top quality spirit herbs!”
“Yup! I’m quite lucky!” Shen Fei nodded his head and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the help of his newly obtained memories. Otherwise, he would not know what to do.
“Hahaha! That’s great. I’m refining a pill for everyone first. You can have a taste as well to see what kind of alchemy technique is suitable for you, Brother Shen.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Young Master Wu.”
“Brother Shen, you don’t have to be so polite!” Wu Tianhao laughed and began to make essence gathering pills.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became abnormally oppressive. After all, the essence gathering pill was an extremely rare spirit medicine in the eyes of an alchemist grandmaster, and everyone wanted to get their hands on it!
‘I must make it!’ Wu Tianhao thought to himself. Very quickly, the essence gathering pill was successfully refined.
With a soft shout, Wu Tianhao formed a hand seal and activated his refinement. Instantly, a wisp of black smoke appeared in front of him, slowly gathering and finally forming a small alchemical furnace.
Seeing this, Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed, and he sighed with admiration. “What a powerful technique!”
This was a technique to control fire. When the elixir was first refined, it would absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth through the elixir furnace and finally merge it into a ball of liquid fire.
