In the stands, the seven real people had different expressions.
Although most things like furnace explosions are accidents, they are all human beings, and it is basically certain that someone did it intentionally.
However, since this person was a disciple of Kang Xingliu, they couldn't keep silent.
Because maybe this is what Kang Xingliu meant!
But for Kang Xingliu, who was sitting among the crowd, he was a bit dumbfounded.
His disciple would never let him down.
However, when he saw other direct disciples of Zhenren being defeated, he expressed his dissatisfaction with a frown on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.
Others did not dare to ask more about this matter, but Xiao Jian, as the head of Yuan Ling Sect, could not just sit idly by.
He leaned sideways towards Kang Xingliu and asked in a low voice:
"Senior brother, you taught me this move, right?"
The corners of Kang Xingliu's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Sure enough, he was determined to take the blame today.
"If I say no, will the leader believe it?"
He replied half-truthfully.
Xiao Jian chuckled slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his brows, but after careful consideration, he immediately covered it up.
He stood up from his position, walked to the edge of the stands, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly:
"It's just a small accident, but it makes you so uneasy. Why don't you get back to your place!?"
His voice was like rolling thunder, suppressing all the noise at once.
Everyone did not dare to speak and immediately returned to their seats.
Xiao Jian's eyes rested on Li Changan, who immediately felt like a thorn in his back and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
On the other hand, his junior sister Bai Xiyao was not disturbed from beginning to end, which made him even more embarrassed.
Except for Bai Xiyao, there were two other people present who were not affected.
Zhou Muhan, who looked crazy, and Huang Long, who was concentrating and had stains on his face.
This Huang Long was actually able to keep his mind and concentrate on refining elixirs, which surpassed most of his direct disciples.
When the other direct disciples saw this scene, their faces were filled with shame, and they no longer dared to pay attention to Qin Shaoyou's situation.
Everyone started refining alchemy again, and the alchemy conference was able to continue.
"You still have four hours!"
Xiao Jian snorted coldly, then turned and walked towards his seat.
Wu Feng hurriedly signaled to Qin Shaoyou to clean up the scene quickly and go back to continue refining the elixir. The latter understood and immediately complied.
His "conspiracy" succeeded, but he basically offended everyone.
At the same time, many "thoughtful" disciples outside the venue approached Yuan Tao again and strongly demanded that the betting numbers be changed again.
But at this time, Yuan Tao told them that the "rules of the game" had changed.
Because the situation is basically clear now, if you change the bet, you can only bet on the first place.
Many people expressed dissatisfaction with this, but many people still agreed with it.
Therefore, the vast majority of people invested their chips in Zhou Muhan. He was at the Golden Core level and had never been disturbed. He should have a high probability of winning.
As for Li Changan, who had always been favored by everyone, he suddenly lost popularity...
According to the rules of the alchemy conference, the grade of the elixir is the primary criterion, followed by the number of spiritual patterns, the number of elixirs, and the time to complete the elixir.
After Qin Shaoyou made such a fuss, except for the four people just now, everyone else had no choice. In just four hours, they could refine a furnace of Xuan-level elixir at most.
At this time, the level of personal cultivation becomes extremely important.
Li Changan finally calmed down completely, and bright green spiritual fire ignited all over his body. Under his steady control, one raw material after another was quickly thrown into the alchemy furnace.
The flames in the furnace were swirling and surging, but they were always under his control. Just an hour later, bursts of fragrance were already wafting out of his alchemy furnace.
"Look there!"
"Senior Brother Li, you are really trying your best!"
"In such a short period of time, we are almost ready to refine the Xuan-level spiritual elixir!"
Among the disciples who were watching, many of them were shining brightly and marveling at the crowd present.
And when they tried to find Yuan Tao again, the latter smiled and shook his head, indicating that he would no longer accept bets, which made the others very angry.
However, after all, this kind of thing was consensual and could not be brought to the table. Yuan Tao ignored them at all and even stood in front of the real people's stands to see who dared to cause trouble here.
Elsewhere, Bai Xiyao opened her red lips slightly and softly let out a sweet shout. It was obvious that she had reached the most important step of condensing the pill: carving spiritual patterns!
The last step of refining the elixir requires the alchemist to use his spiritual thoughts to carve special elixir patterns on the surface of the elixir to seal the aura of the elixir and prevent it from leaking out in a short time.
The higher the level of the elixir, the more complex the elixir patterns are!
The more complex the elixir pattern is, the more spiritual energy it can retain, and the longer it can retain its medicinal properties.
"Peng!"
I saw a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the alchemy furnace at the top of the left column. Dazzling multicolored rays of light emitted from the pores of the alchemy furnace, and then a fragrance filled the air!
Standing in front of this void furnace is Zhou Muhan.
He was wearing a gray monk's robe, with his wide sleeves rolled up high and tied to the belt behind him.
At this time, he was already disheveled and looked unkempt.
He quickly stretched out his hands, pressed them in the air over the alchemy furnace, and wrapped his mind around it to stabilize the restless spiritual power inside the elixir.
When the elixir is condensing, it is also the time when the spiritual power inside the elixir is the most unstable. If you don't concentrate on staring at the furnace at this moment, the furnace will explode like Qin Shaoyou.
At this point in the alchemy conference, Huang Long was the only one left among the inner sect disciples. The rest either gave up after being distracted, or fell to the ground after losing their spiritual power.
Therefore, this "only remaining" disciple of the inner sect finally came into the sight of Master Tianji.
"This kid is quite interesting..."
Song Chengxian's eyes flashed with appreciation, and a sense of compassion arose in his heart.
Another hour passed, and the sky above Chaoyang Island was already filled with stars.
Under the starry sky, several rays of red light rise and fall like antennas, reflecting each other and illuminating everyone's faces.
In the Void Furnace in front of Qin Shaoyou, a Clear Water Pill has been formed.
He was lucky. This condensation went smoothly. After all, he had tried it many times before. He only had to wait for the spiritual patterns to appear on it before it could be released.
He carved four spiritual patterns with ease, and when he was carving the fifth spiritual pattern, something unexpected happened again.
Qin Shaoyou sent a large amount of spiritual energy into the Void Furnace, but he always felt that a small part was missing.
Because the further the spiritual pattern is carved, the more the alchemist needs to concentrate on his spiritual thoughts, so when he was carving the fifth spiritual pattern, he discovered an abnormality.
He temporarily stopped the process of refining the alchemy, placed the semi-finished product safely aside, and focused his attention on the place where his spiritual thoughts disappeared.
After probing for a long time, he finally discovered that the disappearing spirit actually disappeared into the space crack above his head along the red line that reached the sky!
This scared him quite a bit.
If he hadn't been very familiar with refining the Clear Water Pill, the distraction just now would have been enough for him to explode again.
"Where does this red line extend?"
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but become curious.
He really wanted to extend his spiritual consciousness enough to detect the situation in unknown places into the cracks in space, but he was afraid that it would cause other troubles.
After careful consideration, he gave up the risky idea.
Afterwards, he once again focused his attention on the matter of alchemy.
During this interval, he also secretly glanced at Li Changan.
Seeing that his elixir was about to take shape, and that the fifth spiritual pattern was about to be engraved, while others were still carving the third one, the stone in his heart finally fell.
Why does he pay so much attention to Li Changan?
Because Li Changan has been the most critical link in his entire plan from the beginning.
The first place in this alchemy conference can only be Li Changan, and it must be Li Changan!
As early as seven days ago, Qin Shaoyou, Bai Xiyao and Yuan Tao began to plan how to make a "hard" profit at this alchemy conference.
Li Changan is the disciple with the strongest cultivation among the second generation disciples, there is no doubt about this.
If he directly lists Li Changan's name on the "Honor of Fame", no matter what his odds are, most people will bet on him.
In this way, wouldn't the three of them suffer a "blood loss"?
But it is impossible for them to drag Li Changan into this "shady" team. Firstly, Li Changan will definitely not agree with them and will even expose them. Secondly, if Li Changan deliberately loses, it will be far better than what Qin Shaoyou can get.
First place is much harder.
After all, you real people are not blind.
The only way is to stop everyone from betting on Li Changan, and then Li Changan finally wins the first place, so that they can take it all.
But here comes the problem.
Qin Shaoyou could not grasp everyone's thoughts, nor could he influence the outcome of the entire alchemy conference.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Qin Shaoyou slapped his thigh suddenly and suddenly remembered that Bai Xiyao was Li Changan's fellow junior sister and knew Li Changan very well!
Then....
He then came up with the plot of the scene that just happened.
In fact, many of the turning points may not go according to his ideas. Once things go wrong, they will fail in this matter.
Qin Shaoyou listed all the conceivable situations, including Wu Fengfeng speaking for him, which was also part of his calculation.
But there are also things that he cannot control, such as Zhou Muhan, who has been refining elixirs and has not been affected.
This person's cultivation level is only lower than that of Li Chang'an. If he gets the first place, they will also "collapse".
Because this position was designed for Bai Xiyao by Qin Shaoyou from the beginning.
He wanted everyone to put their bets on Bai Xiyao, and then the latter deliberately lost to Li Changan. This is also very reasonable.
Qin Shaoyou was actually betting. Fortunately, it seems that he was right.
As for the Qingshui Dan that he refined, in fact, during the first two alchemy processes, he was also refining the materials required for the Qingshui Dan. He only waited for the "explosion of the furnace" to refine the Qingshui Dan in the shortest possible time.
But he didn't expect that the foundation building realm was still far inferior to the golden elixir realm. Li Chang'an would not talk about it. Mo Feiyun, who had also restarted elixir refining, had already engraved the third spiritual pattern.
He must hurry up, after all, only the top five will be eligible to enter Xingyuan Pavilion.
