Wu Shattered Star River

The third round of alchemy refining lasts for two days and two nights. Of course, the faster you refine, the higher the rating will be.

Today, three white-haired elders in luxurious clothes were added to the platform on the north side. These three are grandmasters of alchemy, and they are the chief judges of the final round. The rankings of the top ten all require their approval.

Jiang Han walked into a black pagoda carrying a wooden box. This time, three different soldiers came to conduct three inspections, possibly to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition and prevent anyone from smuggling in hidden items.

"Begin!"

Grandmaster Cang's voice sounded. Jiang Han didn't rush to take action but pondered.

Madam Yu had told him via voice transmission that three grandmasters of alchemy had come today. Also, three Immortal Kings and more than a dozen Immortal Reverends had come. Jiang Han was considering whether or not to refine the Soul Severing Pill.

The Dream Soul Pill was already a very advanced pill. Madam Yu said that refining the Dream Soul Pill would guarantee him a place in the top ten.

But if he refined the Soul Severing Pill, and within two days and two nights, would it cause a sensation? Would it trigger countless investigations? Would Madam Yu still be able to protect him then?

In addition, Xing Gu had come!

Xing Gu's status in the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion was obviously higher than Madam Yu's. If he, a member of Madam Yu's faction, stood out so much, would Xing Gu target him?

He needed to consider all these issues and weigh the pros and cons.

"Forget it!"

Jiang Han fiddled with the alchemy furnace slowly while pondering. Half an incense stick later, he made up his mind not to refine the Soul Severing Pill. He would tell Madam Yu later that he had failed in the refining process.

After all, there were only two portions of materials left, so failing to refine it would be understandable.

He was just here to complete the task and get some rewards. The rewards for entering the top ten were already very generous.

If he were to aim for the top five or even the top three, being so young, and just a pseudo-immortal who had ascended not long ago…

Once his situation was investigated, it would be easy to deduce that he possessed a treasure for refining pills.

He was just an honorary elder of the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion, and the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion would not guarantee his safety. If a strong Immortal King wanted to harm him, the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion would definitely not protect him. At that time, he would only be left to die.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Jiang Han began to pretend to refine pills. He added all sorts of messy materials and refined them randomly three times, all of which failed without exception.

After a day and a night had passed, he was still not in a hurry. He began to refine with two cauldrons at the same time.

He looked very calm, constantly adding various medicinal herbs to both sides—he simply never intended to succeed in refining them, so he was naturally calm and composed.

Without any surprises, after refining for more than three hours, he successfully obtained two clumps of black paste.

He stopped, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged, seemingly pondering where the problem was in the refining process.

He sat cross-legged for a morning, and only in the afternoon did he continue to refine pills. This time, he took out the Little Heavenly Beast Cauldron, poured the raw materials directly into it, and then began to refine another furnace.

An incense stick later, the Dream Soul Pill was produced. A look of "ecstasy" appeared on his face, and he quickly took out a jade box to store it. After refining this side, he put away all the materials and walked out of the black pagoda.

As soon as he came out, Madam Yu immediately gave him an inquiring look.

Jiang Han smiled wryly and only handed over one jade box. Madam Yu sighed slightly, knowing that Jiang Han had not successfully refined the Soul Severing Pill.

After handing over the Dream Soul Pill, Jiang Han put away the wooden box and returned to Madam Yu's side.

"Jiang Han, you didn't successfully refine the Soul Severing Pill?"

Madam Yu was still unwilling to give up and asked via voice transmission. Jiang Han replied via voice transmission, "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent. I failed to refine it both times."

"It's not your fault…"

Madam Yu sighed and said, "There weren't enough materials prepared. I didn't make adequate preparations. But… this time, there might be trouble. I'm afraid the Dream Soul Pill won't make it into the top ten."

"Ah?"

Jiang Han was taken aback and asked, "Have many extraordinary pills appeared this time?"

"Yes!"

Madam Yu explained via voice transmission, "So far, four Rank Seven pills have appeared, and they are all relatively unique."

"There are also five extraordinary pills that are no weaker than the Dream Soul Pill, which makes nine. If two or three more appear, the Dream Soul Pill might not make it into the top ten."

Jiang Han's heart sank. He didn't care whether or not he could get the reward, but he was afraid that it would affect Madam Yu's important matter.

He asked via voice transmission, "If I don't make it into the top ten, will it affect Madam's trip?"

Madam Yu frowned and glanced at Xing Gu in the distance. She said via voice transmission, "According to the usual practice of previous years, Fairy Firefly will host a banquet for the top ten alchemists, so I will also be invited to go, and then I will have the opportunity to befriend Fairy Firefly."

"Befriend?"

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't Fairy Firefly invite you before?"

"What kind of invitation was that?"

Madam Yu smiled wryly and said via voice transmission, "Thousands of people in a large hall, Fairy Firefly only came out to offer a toast and then left. There was no chance to speak at all."

Jiang Han understood. He sighed, but he didn't regret his previous decision.

So many strong people and grandmasters of alchemy had come today. If he had refined the Soul Severing Pill, it would definitely have caused a sensation and attracted the attention of countless strong forces.

The Dream Soul Pill was sent up and placed in front of the three grandmasters of alchemy.

One grandmaster of alchemy opened the jade box. Inside, a pill was wandering around, seemingly trying to escape.

"This is… the Dream Soul Pill?"

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of one grandmaster of alchemy. He grabbed the pill and began to observe it. The other two grandmasters of alchemy also showed strange expressions.

"It is indeed the legendary Dream Soul Pill!"

Another grandmaster of alchemy looked at it for a few moments and nodded, "The Dan Book records that taking this pill immediately allows one to enter a dream state, where one can comprehend the Dao in the dream. Just looking at this pill can make people enter an illusion. It is truly an extraordinary pill."

The third grandmaster of alchemy took the pill, smelled it for a while, closed his eyes, and sensed it, saying, "It is indeed the ancient extraordinary pill, Dream Soul Pill."

"Wow…"

"The ancient extraordinary pill, the Dream Soul Pill, has been refined? Who refined it?"

"Jiang Xie? It's him!"

"Is this the demon that Madam Yu brought? I didn't expect that the demon race would also have alchemy masters?"

"This pill probably has a chance to enter the top ten."

"Jiang Xie looks very young, but he has such high alchemy achievements?"

Many discussions and exclamations rang out nearby.

Many immortals came to watch the excitement. Now that an extraordinary pill had been born, they were naturally excited. Many extraordinary pills had appeared today, giving them a great feast for the eyes.

The three grandmasters of alchemy did not give a rating, presumably waiting until the end of the alchemy refining to announce the final results.

Jiang Han and Madam Yu heard the evaluation given by the three alchemists, and their hearts clenched.

This pill was an ancient extraordinary pill, but listening to the tone of the three grandmasters of alchemy, they didn't give it too high of a rating. If a few more extraordinary pills appeared later, then it really might not be able to enter the top ten.

Jiang Han looked towards Fairy Firefly in the north and found that Fairy Firefly was still there. However, the petals of that lotus flower had closed, wrapping her body inside, and nothing could be seen.

After waiting for two incense sticks, several alchemists came out one after another. A middle-aged alchemist handed over a jade box. The moment that jade box was opened, a ray of red light soared into the sky, actually illuminating half the sky in red.

Madam Yu glanced at it, her face sinking, and said, "Damn it, another Rank Seven pill has been born!"
