Li Rui found the situation quite confusing. The two women were able to stand off for so long without blinking. What was their purpose?
Li Rui began to feel relieved, thankful that he hadn't brought Ruo Xin along; otherwise, things would have become troublesome. It wasn't his fault for being handsome, and his fists were quite strong! He truly couldn't understand.
With a sudden clang of a gong, a loud sound echoed.
Wasn't it just Dan Xiuxi Zhi? From what he heard, the first round of Alchemy required refining a Second-Rank Pill, and the level had to be above advanced.
Li Rui couldn't help but grin. A Second-Rank Pill? Last time, he had practiced it in the forbidden area no less than a few thousand times; it was all second nature to him.
However, he thought of another issue. Crossing that waterfall might lead to some significant discovery. He had already made up his mind to get Mad Old Man to give him some authority so he could go take a look above.
Li Rui didn't expect the first round to be this simple, but there were still some people who had ruined the path ahead in his 'explosion furnace.'
“Next, I will check your Elixir,” Xi Zhi said repeatedly, seemingly wanting to express something.
Li Rui furrowed his brows slightly; he wanted to see what this guy was capable of.
The ones who had exploded their furnaces stepped down from the stage.
It was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but Li Rui was placed last, adding an air of mystery.
The first few people passed smoothly, and soon they reached Li Rui. Xi Zhi extended two fingers, seemingly pondering something.
Through his gaze, it seemed like he wanted to thoroughly study the Elixir in Li Rui's hand, but after three minutes, he put them down again.
“Alright, everyone move on to the next round!”
This...
"Don't you need to return the Elixir to me?" Li Rui asked, a look of confusion on his face.
"Consider it a gift for our meeting!"
However, in this situation, Li Rui suddenly realized something else: when did this guy appear here?
"Brute Force King Li Mu? What are you doing...?" Li Rui murmured, his eyes filled with countless questions.
"Perhaps you still don't know my other identity. Li Mu is indeed my original name, but my nickname is Dan Leng."
Li Rui was once again stunned, wondering if this was all happening too quickly for him to process.
"In the past, I wanted to be friends with you, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. If you admit your mistake now, I might still accept it."
"Let's skip that!" Li Rui couldn't help but laugh.
Li Mu was once again so angry that his face turned red, and seeing his Teacher Xi Zhi nearby, he had no mood to understand the current situation with Li Rui.
Li Rui was still quite shocked. He had been here for so long and had never even heard of Dan Leng, yet suddenly he learned that the person in front of him was named Li Mu.
Even more unexpectedly, he invited Li Rui for tea.
After resting for a while, Li Rui closed his eyes and focused, trying to adjust his body as best as he could. This was only the first round; he had no idea what would happen next.
"Alright, the second round begins. Refine the third-grade Elixir, 'Frosty Pill!'" Xi Zhi announced repeatedly.
At the same time, many people's Dan Furnaces ignited, while Li Rui stood there in a daze.
What is this Frosty Pill, he seemed to have never heard of it. Although he had been given the materials and diagrams for Alchemy! Each step seemed a bit strange, and there was also the possibility of failing three times in this second round, meaning the furnace could explode three times.
Li Rui was puzzled about why this was happening; could there be some hidden meaning behind it?
"Look! The last one isn't moving. What is it aiming at? That time in the arena already left us in shock; I wonder what kind of tricks will come out this time."
A murmur of agreement arose from the crowd.
Only two hours had passed, and half of that time was already gone. Li Rui still hadn't made a move, as if he were brewing something.
At that moment, a loud "bang" echoed around, drawing everyone's attention, including Li Rui's, who was unsure of what had happened.
In this situation, Li Rui sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Maybe I can follow my own steps for the alchemy process; perhaps that will lead to success," Li Rui murmured.
He decided to proceed, waving his hands over the furnace lid. However, the fire did not ignite; it seemed like he was contemplating something with his eyes closed, much like what had just happened earlier.
Suddenly! Li Rui felt that this state was quite favorable, and flames began to rise.
Looking at the herbs he had swallowed, he fell into deep thought again, considering Serpent Grass, Crystal Flower, and Luo Whiskers...
His next move was to ignite the flames but without adding any of those ingredients yet.
In this situation, Li Rui activated his Dantian energy, interlocking his fingers tightly. Suddenly, he spread them apart, revealing a golden sphere in his hand.
This action startled everyone both on and off the stage; no one understood what Li Rui was trying to do.
"What is this guy up to?" even Xizhi murmured in confusion.
The temperature of the flames had already risen to its peak. Li Rui divided the entire golden sphere into five equal parts and directly dragged them into the herbs he intended to refine.
Perhaps many people do not understand this approach, and Xi Zhi seemed to have thought of something, the tremor in his heart could not be expressed in just a few words; the scene was truly absurd.
Immediately, five types of medicinal herbs were directly thrown into the Dan Furnace. If an ordinary person were to see this, they would definitely think that this guy could not possibly know anything about Alchemy.
This method was something that was said to be seen but never heard of before.
In such circumstances, a series of explosive sounds erupted from the furnace, yet there was no sign of it blowing up at all.
The entire process might only be understood by Li Rui, who wrapped the five types of medicinal herbs into a circular protective barrier and tossed them in, brewing his own Primordial Spirit, testing the power of the flames on each type of herb.
The one with greater power could pause first, while the other could refine first, and at the very last moment focus on refining the most threatening one, significantly increasing the chances of success.
"This guy is really interesting!" Xi Zhi murmured, a smile lingering on his lips, though it was unclear what he was actually laughing about.
During Li Rui's refining process, the sound of "bang bang bang" continued to ring out.
