Chapter 2827
With the passage of time marked by an incense stick, it was clear that the pill masters lacked the skills to create a flawless fifth-grade elixir. However, the closer one got to perfection, the higher their chances of victory!
Everyone was determined to give their best effort in refining pills, and Meng He was particularly focused this time. He concentrated intently on his work, though he couldn’t resist stealing a glance at Kai from time to time!
Despite Meng He’s watchful eyes, Kai remained entirely focused on his own pill refining, ignoring any distractions.
Creating a fifth-grade elixir was no simple task, and the tension in the air was palpable; there were occasional explosions from the furnaces as mistakes were made!
Before long, the incense stick had burned down, and the participants began to present the pills they had created. Unfortunately, due to a mishap that caused one furnace to explode midway, only ten fifth-grade pills were submitted to the judges!
However, all of these pills were only half-finished—none were complete!
Seeing this, a smug smile crept onto Meng He’s face. During the previous examination, Kai had managed to refine a perfect fifth-grade elixir in a single incense burner, but now it was clear that his underhanded tactics had taken effect!
As the ten half-finished pills were handed over to the judges, a few of them, including Suo Xingyue, began to examine each one closely, holding their breath and focusing intently.
Just as they concentrated, Suo Xingyue felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, making it impossible to discern the quality of the pills, leaving her unable to determine which were more perfectly refined!
“Master, are you okay?” Zhu Zhu asked Suo Xingyue, concern etched on her face.
“I’m fine, just feeling a bit lightheaded!” Suo Xingyue replied, picking up the elixir to examine it once more.
This time, the judges took significantly longer to reach a decision, but they ultimately chose the pills that were closest to perfection!
Among those selected were the creations of both Meng He and Kai!
The elder in the center noticed the change in Suo Xingyue and the others and inquired, “Elders, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to pause the competition?”
“No, there’s only one more level to go. I might just be a bit fatigued, but it’s nothing serious,” Suo Xingyue quickly assured him.
“Very well then, let’s proceed to the next level of the competition. Just keep in mind that this stage will test your mental strength the most, so feel free to take breaks if needed!”
With that, the elder announced the start of the third round of the competition!
This round involved refining the God Condensing Pill, which, despite being an ordinary fifth-grade pill, required exceptional spiritual power for perfect results!
For Meng He to secure victory, this final challenge was crucial. He had intentionally sabotaged Kai to disrupt his sea of consciousness, ensuring that even if Kai managed to create a God Condensation Pill, it would surely have defects due to his impaired mental state!
The remaining five pill masters lined up, each ready to begin. They activated their divine consciousness, which began to condense around them!
In the air, five glimmering God Condensation Pills formed, as the masters channeled their divine consciousness to enhance the power of the pills they were crafting!
Meng He was positioned right beside Kai, and as he focused on refining his God Condensation Pill, he suddenly realized that Kai was also exuding an overwhelming amount of divine sense energy!
The God Condensation Pill that Kai was working on began to swell, its light intensifying more and more!
“What ……”
Seeing this, Meng He couldn’t help but frown. He was puzzled as to how Kai, whose consciousness was supposedly damaged, could radiate such immense divine sense energy?
