"Next, I declare that the final match of this year's Alchemy Competition has officially begun!"

This was because before the tournament began, the Alchemists Guild had already informed the participants of the tournament of the matters related to the tournament. Thus, in this place, as the host and judge of the Alchemist Association, there was no need to elaborate much. Instead, he announced the start of the match.

As for the start of the match, it didn't mean that he could start refining drugs now. Rather, he had to verify the pill formulas provided by each participant once again. Of course, at a time like this, the participants' pill formulas weren't announced to the public. Instead, the judges would review the pill formulas provided by each competitor, and that would be it.

Of course, there were those who would say that this kind of competition was rather unfair, because a lot of times, pill formulas had a special characteristic to them. And to an alchemist, it was unique and unique. Even though it was possible that the pill concocted by this recipe would be of the same tier as the other pills. However, that unique medicinal effect was the basis of this alchemist's reputation and economic resources. Therefore, someone had once said that if an alchemist were to obtain a unique pill formula, then he would open the path to endless profits, and the process would be unstoppable.

However, because of the arrangement of the competition and the respect they had for the contestants, the so-called evaluation to check the medicinal formula was only to look at the name of the medicinal formula and the medicinal effect of the medicinal formula. Thus, to these experienced alchemists, it was enough to see the quality of the Meimei pill. This was because the competitors in the competition were mostly Rank 5 alchemists. Moreover, according to the rules of the Grand Meeting, the highest number of competitors could only be Rank 5 alchemists. Therefore, the quality of these pills were basically all fifth level pills.

However, not everyone had a Rank 5 pill formula, so those who didn't have a Rank 5 pill formula needed to apply to the Alchemist Guild for a general Grade 5 pill formula. In other words, the medicinal materials that were refined were relatively common in the market. If one wanted to use this kind of pill to determine the victor, then one needed to use the alchemist's ability and technique to climax to refine a higher tier pill. Otherwise, applying for a pill formula would only be a loss.

This time, Ouyang Bo naturally took out the pill formula that he was familiar with, the Dragon Ghost Shadow Pill. In actuality, this pill was a type of supplementary medicine. Its main effect wasn't healing wounds, but rather breaking through as a Soul Cultivator. It directly affected the body of a Soul Cultivator, giving the body a special characteristic that increased the user's speed as well as movement. And this kind of advancement, was a permanent one.

The others all took out their pill formulas to refine as well. On the other hand, Han Ming directly took out the 'Breaking Heaven Pill Formula'. After all, the medicinal ingredients used for the 'Breaking Heaven Pill' were not extremely rare and precious. However, the medicinal effects of this' Breaking Heaven Pill 'were extremely powerful. To be able to make a person break through to the Heavenly Soul Realm, this temptation was something that a peak Golden Soul Realm cultivator couldn't resist.

After the judges checked and confirmed that the pill formulas used by all the competitors were level 5, the Alchemist Competition had finally begun.

At the start of the competition, the twenty contestants who had entered the finals began to take out their skills and concentrated all of their attention on concocting pills. Han Ming also summoned his own Void Cauldron and placed it inside an ordinary Cauldron before starting to refine medicinal pills. Because the importance of this time's competition directly determined whether Han Ming would be able to make a name for himself on the Purple Clouds Continent, Han Ming made a bold decision the moment the competition started.

Han Ming actually took out four batches of ingredients for the 'Breaking Heaven Pill' at the same time and threw them into the cauldron. Immediately, he opened all three of his Heaven's Eyes and poured all of his mental energy into them, starting the crazed process of refining.

Four Unbreakable Pills! Four Grade Five Medicinal Pills! At this moment, Han Ming actually wanted to refine four Breaking Heaven Pill within a limited amount of time! This move was undoubtedly able to directly shock everyone present. However, since the pill formulas were different, the amount of materials used would be different as well. As for the other contestants, they were completely engrossed in refining their own pills and simply didn't have the mood to care about other people's business.

Therefore, no one noticed Han Ming's action when he left the judging area.

This was because he had already refined the Breaking Heaven Pill twice. Furthermore, the last time he had refined it was when Han Ming had broken through to the Heavenly Soul Realm. He had refined three pills at once. Therefore, in terms of smelting experience, there was no lack of cold chimes. He was completely focused on the four elixirs. He methodically separated the Earth Core Fire in his body and began to refine the elixirs.

The higher the grade of the medicinal pill, the longer the refining time required. The difficulty of purifying the medicinal ingredients would be greater. Thus, after a day and night of experience, none of the twenty people present had managed to purify all the herbs in their hands. They were still using their mental energy to constantly smelt and purify the herbs in their hands.

It was the same for Han Ming's side. After all, refining four Grade Five Medicinal Pills at the same time was absolutely crazy for an alchemist! Of course, if it was someone of the sixth or seventh ranks, that was a different story. But the key point was that it was already not bad for a grade five alchemist to be able to successfully refine a grade five medicinal pill. Refining four at the same time was impossible.

During the smelting process, Han Ming could feel the difficulty of this. First of all, smelting these four medicinal herbs required an enormous amount of mental energy, and now, he just needed to focus on four uses. At the same time, he also needed to control the various fires and classify the medicinal ingredients according to the ratio of each medicinal pill.

However, Han Ming's biggest advantage was that the more difficult something was, the more others thought it was impossible, the more he would like to prove it. He had to persevere and succeed! There were a total of four ingredients needed for each pellet, and a total of sixteen ingredients required for each pellet. Furthermore, because of its precise ratio, the ingredients for every pill could not be smelted and purified together. In other words, Han Ming had to split his spiritual power into sixteen portions, split the flames into sixteen portions, and burn them to refine these medicinal herbs!

Fortunately, these herbs only required four different levels. After all, they were all the same type of medicinal pills. Therefore, Han Ming used a trickery method and wrapped the same kind of ingredients with a Spiritual Strength. After which, he divided the ingredients into four parts. When the flame was used on the outside, it could be used to control a portion of the flame.

In this way, the smelting process became much easier. Even though it was reduced, to Han Ming, his terrifyingly strong spiritual energy was still insufficient. It took a whole two days and a night for Han Ming to melt all of these medicinal herbs, basically removing the impurities.

However, this was not enough for Han Ming. What he hoped for was that there would be no impurities in these medicinal ingredients, and they would be purer than they could be. In other words, the requirement that he had given himself was to simultaneously refine four supreme dan beads!

Although two pills at the same time would basically guarantee victory, Han Ming's requirements for him were still very high. After all, this Great Games meant too many things to him. Reputation, the expansion of his power, the acquaintance of his allies all required him to do his best to create a great reputation for himself. There were more than fifty tier 5 alchemists on the Purple Clouds Continent, including Ouyang Bo. There were also not many heavenly soul experts on the ground. According to the general algorithm, if these Heavenly Souls were divided evenly, there probably wouldn't be much left for him to use in the end.

Moreover, not all of these Heavenly Souls would ask him to refine a pill for them. The cold cry of the man who had exhausted his mental strength constantly reminded him that he had to be alert and succeed. In this state where he was giving himself a shot, Han Ming forcefully overdrawn his spiritual energy. The three stars in his body revolved madly, providing him with all possible help.

He ignored his already exhausted body and suddenly widened his eyes. He once again poured all of his mental strength into the medicinal ingredient liquid and continued to move the liquid essence closer to each other as he tried to merge it with his first step before the pill was formed.

Under the pressure of the powerful spiritual force, the four portions of medicinal herb liquid continued to move towards each other, slowly fusing with each other. However, a Rank 5 pill was not an ordinary pill. Every type of medicinal herb had a strong resistance to each other. Just the refinement process of a single pill was very complicated, and the probability of failure was very high. There was no need to even mention how difficult it was for Han Ming to concoct four medicinal pills at the moment. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be!

"Hiss hiss!"

"Hiss hiss …"

Subtle sounds were constantly produced from where the original liquid of the herbs came into contact with each other, just like the sounds produced when water and fire mixed together. From a certain angle, the size of the sound also indicated the difficulty in fusing the medicinal herbs together. The louder the sound, the harder it was to fuse medicinal herbs!

"The legendary Breaking Heaven Pill should only be a Tier 5 pill. The difficulty of fusing it shouldn't be too high. The sound emitted from this young man's medicinal cauldron seemed to be a little too loud … "It looks like he's only mediocre …" The elders of the jury murmured as they heard the voice coming from the Frigid Cry Cauldron.

At the same time, the other participants in the competition also revealed a disdainful smile when they heard the sound coming from the Frigid Cry Cauldron. After all, Han Ming's failure meant that they had one less opponent to face and one more chance to win. Therefore, most people held a gloating attitude when faced with Han Ming's current situation.

Ignoring everyone's strange gazes, Han Ming's forehead started to sweat profusely. He opened all three of his Heaven's Eyes and focused all of his mental energy into the four medicinal liquids, continuously compressing them with all of his strength. Finally, after some effort, the medicinal liquid from the four medicinal pills finally merged together. One by one, they formed a sphere that looked like a drop of water, floating within the cauldron.

What Han Ming wanted to do next was to compress the four balls of liquid into a solid substance to form a pill. When the medicinal liquid turned solid, there would usually be a flash of light from the medicinal cauldron, signifying that the medicinal liquid had turned solid.

At this moment, everyone on the stage, including the elders in the judging area, were thoroughly shocked. All of them stood up and looked at the cold medicine cauldron with gazes as sharp as lightning.

"What?" Four Breaking Dawn pills? This brat was actually refining four Eclipse Pills at the same time! A monster, simply a monster! " The judges were discussing.

"He has indeed refined four pills at the same time. However, from the looks of it, there are only three …" The Head Elder stroked his beard and said with a smile.

At this moment, a thunderous sound rang out from within the medicine cauldron. Four dazzling rays of light shot out, appearing exceptionally dazzling! However, one of them was a bit dim and unstable. After struggling for a moment, it swiftly dimmed …
