In the following period of time, Patriarch Hanshan asked a lot of questions one after another. Li Qing answered each other like a flowing stream. Everyone present looked sideways.

Among the questions Li Qing answered, there were some novelties that made people refreshed. Even many alchemist grandmasters were inspired by them.

Just what kind of power could cultivate a disciple with such solid theoretical knowledge?

“What’s the use of empty theoretical knowledge? Perhaps you’ll be dumbfounded when you actually concoct pills.” Someone said with a strange tone.

Patriarch Hanshan smiled and said, “Tieqing’s pill refining level is pretty good. In the exam a few days ago, 23 Soul Cleansing Pills were refined in a short quarter of an hour. Furthermore, each of them is of the best quality and is extremely rare.”

“I refined 23 high-grade pills in fifteen minutes. This child is already at his limit in terms of refining techniques for the Soul Cleansing Pill.” Everyone’s expressions instantly changed.

Hong Zhongzheng rolled his eyes and said, “Senior Grandmasters, if you were to refine the Soul Cleansing Pill, would you be able to reach this level within fifteen minutes?”

“This … I’m afraid it’s hard to say.” Everyone was not sure.

“Doesn’t that mean that this person called Tieqing is even more powerful than everyone present?” Hong Zhongzheng smiled sinisterly.

“That’s not what I said. The reason why our generation can be called alchemist grandmasters is because we can refine high-grade spirit pills. If we don’t refine ordinary pills often, we might not be very proficient.”

‘”Then according to what seniors have said, Tie Qing might have refined the Soul Cleansing Pill frequently. Practice makes perfect, which is why he was able to reach this level. It is even possible that this person had guessed the content of the exam beforehand, so he might have practiced it many times in advance.” Hong Zhongzheng laughed coldly.

Everyone’s expressions changed as they looked at Li Qing with suspicion.

Hong Zhongzheng’s words weren’t completely unreasonable. After all, he had refined 23 Soul Cleansing Pills within fifteen minutes. Moreover, each one of them was of the highest quality. Even the seniors present were not confident that they would be able to accomplish it.

Hong Zhongzheng continued, “Looks like it’s very doubtful if Brother Tieqing’s pill refining skill is really that high.”

Li Qing said coldly, “Is my pill refining level high or not? It doesn’t seem to be the focus of today’s discussion, right? I don’t intend to compete for first place. I just want to display my best level during the exam, that’s all.”

“That’s not necessarily the case. You’re going to work with Patriarch Hanshan to refine immortal pills. If you can’t pass the level, it might ruin the big event.” Hong Zhongzheng said unforgivingly.

The immortal pills that Patriarch Hanshan had refined were no longer related to him alone. Everyone hoped that the immortal pills could be refined so that they could receive some benefits.

“Looks like you’re trying to ruin my good fortune!” Li Qing’s expression darkened.

“Brother, why did you say that? It seems like you’ve become angry from embarrassment.”

“That day during the examination, you were influenced by me and became impatient. As a result, you exploded the pill furnace. You always harbored hatred in your heart. Didn’t you want to take revenge by saying such words?” Li Qing sneered.

“Don’t spout blood!” Hong Zhongzheng’s expression changed.

Everyone watched this scene with great interest and laughed, “Daoist Heavenly Eye, your disciple seems to have a grudge against that Iron Green. Could it be that refining a Soul Cleansing Pill was like what he said, causing the furnace to explode?”

“Are you kidding me? How can I not know what level my disciple is at? How could I fail to refine a Soul Cleansing Pill?” Daoist Heavenly Eye obviously didn’t believe it.

Looks like Hong Zhongzheng didn’t tell his master what happened in the exam.

Li Qing said, “Many people witnessed the exam that day. Hong Zhongzheng really blew up the furnace. He can’t fake it at all.”

Patriarch Hanshan nodded. “Yes, I can testify.”

Daoist Heavenly Eye’s face flushed red. He glared at Hong Zhongzheng fiercely and said, “I don’t know much about this matter, but my disciple’s level of pill refinement is indeed extremely high. Perhaps that iron green used some sinister method to influence Zhongzheng.”

“It’s hard to come to a conclusion if we continue arguing like this. The conflict between alchemists should be resolved by alchemy. With so many people here today, why don’t we let the two young men compete on the spot and see for themselves?” Someone suggested.

“This suggestion is very good!” Everyone nodded.

“Disciple, come out today and refine a batch of pills in front of everyone. Let everyone see your level!” Daoist Heavenly Eye said.

‘”This” Hong Zhongzheng was a little scared.

“What? Don’t you dare?” Daoist Heavenly Eye frowned.

“What? Why would I be afraid of that guy?” Hong Zhongzheng immediately straightened his body.

“Let me join you in the competition.” Cheng Qingqing walked out from the crowd and bowed to the seniors.

Everyone was free. In such a pill refining exchange, having three outstanding young people compete in pill refining could also add some liveliness to the scene.

“What pills do you three want to refine? I’ll prepare all the ingredients.” Said Patriarch Hanshan.

“I want to refine the Seven Fate Profound Sect Pill.” Hong Zhongzheng said.

“You actually want to refine spirit pills?” Everyone was shocked.

“That’s right. If I only refine ordinary Mortal Pills, how can I show my skills?” Hong Zhongzheng said proudly.

“You have ambition. As expected, you are worthy of being a disciple of Heavenly Eye Daoist. Your bearing is extraordinary.” Everyone praised.

“What kind of pills are you two going to refine?” Patriarch Hanshan asked.

“I want to refine the Death Pill.” Cheng Qingqing said.

“Green Underworld Pill!” Li Qing said.

“You guys also want to refine spirit pills?” Everyone was shocked. “Are all the young people so powerful now?”

“It doesn’t matter. Let them give it a try. I can still afford this medicinal ingredient anyway.” Patriarch Hanshan didn’t care.

The medicinal ingredients were quickly prepared. The three of them stood in front of the three pill furnaces. Under the gazes of many pill dao seniors, they openly competed in pill refining techniques.

Facing so many people, most of them were renowned Pill Dao seniors. The three of them must be a little nervous. At this time, it was a great test of a person’s psychological quality.

After all, Li Qing had condensed his primordial spirit. His soul was stable, and he wasn’t so easily affected by the outside world. Therefore, he was extremely calm.

He calmed down and focused all his attention on the pile of medicinal ingredients in front of him. He quickly operated his hands, and his movements were as light as flowing water, incomparably smooth.

When everyone saw this scene, they nodded their heads repeatedly, “This person’s speed in processing medicinal ingredients has already reached the Transformation Realm.”

In comparison, the speed at which Cheng Qingqing and Hong Zhongzheng were dealing with the medicinal ingredients was much slower. However, they were fairly stable and did not make any mistakes.

After dealing with these medicinal ingredients, Li Qing thought to himself, “Since I have the Nanming Li Fire under my control, why don’t I use it to refine pills today so that everyone can see my methods and dispel all doubts?”

Thinking of this, a scarlet flame immediately rose up in his palm, and the temperature of the air instantly rose by a large amount.

“Nanming Li Huo! What does he want?” Their eyes lit up.

The ball of flame in Li Qing’s palm actually soared into the air, flew to the bottom of the pill furnace, and began to burn.

“Flame Off Body! Has his control over the Nanming Li Fire reached this level?” Everyone was shocked.

When Patriarch Hanshan saw Li Qing’s miraculous fire control technique, his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

After pulling out a ball of flame, Li Qing began to refine pills. One by one, the medicinal ingredients that had been processed were thrown into the cauldron. Their movements were neat and neat, and the medicinal power within was extracted and fused with each other.

The Azure Nether Pill was only a low-grade spirit pill, and it wasn’t that difficult to refine. With his divine sense, his control had already reached an extremely high level. Naturally, there wouldn’t be any mistakes.

Half an hour later, Li Qing handed the fifteen pills that glowed with green light to Patriarch Hanshan and said, “The Green Nether Pill has been completed. Please take a look.”

Patriarch Hanshan checked it carefully and nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, it’s a good pill, and there are quite a few of them!”

He gave the pills to an old man beside him and said, “Come and take a look.”

Many pill refining grandmasters gathered around and looked carefully. They didn’t find any flaws. The quality was indeed impeccable. Even if they were to refine it, it would be very difficult for them to do it better.

“At such a young age, the level of pill refining has reached this level. The future is limitless.”

“Under the witness of so many of us, you have personally refined a spirit pill. You can rightly be called a master alchemist!” They are not stingy with compliments.

“The competition is not over yet. Let’s see how the other two are doing.”

At this moment, Hong Zhongzheng’s face was already covered in sweat. After seeing Li Qing successfully refine the Green Nether Pill, his mood became even more anxious. He roared in his heart, “How could he refine a spirit pill so quickly! I definitely can’t lose to him!”

The more impatient he was, the more difficult it was to stabilize his hands. Daoist Heavenly Eye saw Hong Zhongzheng’s current state and couldn’t help but frown. He thought to himself, “Not good.”

Boom!

An explosion sounded. This was the sound of the furnace exploding. Hong Zhengzhong’s face turned ashen, and he spat out a mouthful of black smoke.

“I failed!” Everyone sighed.

“Failure is normal. Spiritual pills are not so easy to refine. Young people still need to temper themselves.” Someone advised.

“Losing is losing. My skills are inferior to others. I have nothing to say.” Daoist Heavenly Eye sighed.

“This is an accident! Give me another chance!” Hong Zhongzheng blushed.

“Nonsense, don’t you think you haven’t lost enough face?” Daoist Heavenly Eye reprimanded, “After returning, see if I don’t lock you up for a few months. You’re not allowed to take a single step out of the pill room until I refine a spirit pill!”

Hong Zhongzheng retreated with a dispirited expression as if he had lost his parents.

Daoist Heavenly Eye said to Li Qing, “Your pill refining level is already extremely high. My disciple has accused you of doing something wrong. I hereby apologize to you.”

“Daoist’s words are too heavy!” Li Qing smiled faintly. “May I ask if I have the qualifications to participate in the forging of immortal pills?”
