Chapter 122: Perfect Five Patterns

Many disciples in the hall frowned upon hearing Foundation Establishment Elixir.
Everyone had guessed wrongly.
Within the five peaks, few disciples would attempt to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
It required more than ten types of ingredients and the refinement process was overly complex. Usually, only Intermediate Elixir Refinement Masters would have more confidence to try it.
Out of the 200 odd disciples, Su Zimo, Feng Haoyu and the previous year’s number one, Huo Xiuyuan, were the only ones who were still calm.
During that period of time, some cultivators had already started placing plates of spirit herbs at the front of the hall.
The brown haired youth said in a deep voice, “Everyone’s only allowed to take a single set, nothing more.”
After synthesis came the secondary extraction.
This time, the flame can be more intense.
This was the step where Su Zimo and Feng Haoyu’s Level 3 Spirit Fire would be of great use.
What was worth mentioning was that Huo Xiuyuan had also managed to cultivate a Level 2 Spirit Fire which was extremely rare.
Feng Haoyu was the first to be done with the fourth step followed swiftly by Huo Xiuyuan.
Because he had spent too much time on the first extraction, Su Zimo was one of the slowest among the many disciples.
Fifth step, formation!
This step would reveal the quality of the elixir and it would be obvious who was better!
Initially, Feng Haoyu and Huo Xiuyuan would take note of Su Zimo’s progress and situation from time to time. However, neither of them dared to be distracted on the step of formation.
It was absolutely silent outside of the hall as well.
Everyone held their breaths and watched intently at the two people condensing their elixirs.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound.
One of the disciples had failed his formation and the elixir exploded. Dejected, he left the Elixir Refinement Hall in indignance.
Right after, more crisp sounds echoed out of the hall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another couple of disciples failed their elixir formation and the number of people in the hall decreased.
“Form!”
One of the disciples cursed softly.
“Haha, I did it!”
That disciple burst out in laughter. Right as he was about to collect his elixir and check on its quality, black smoke puffed out of the holes in his Elixir Furnace, giving off a nasty stench.
The brown haired youth shook his head.
For a black smoke as such to be released, it meant that the Foundation Establishment Elixir was no different from a poisoned elixir.
“Form!”
Right then, Huo Xiuyuan hollered softly.
Immediately, a white smoke wafted out of the Elixir Furnace with a faint fragrance.
“Retrieve!”
A pill flew out of the Elixir Furnace and a clear pattern could be seen on it.
“It’s an inferior-grade Foundation Establishment Elixir!”
“Senior Brother Huo is amazing! He did it!”
Huo Xiuyuan heaved out a sigh of relief and looked towards Feng Haoyu subconsciously.
“Form!”
Right then, Feng Haoyu was also done with his elixir formation as a stronger fragrance was emitted from his side.
An elixir flew out and hovered in midair. Spinning around, there were two elixir patterns clearly etched on it!
A middle-grade elixir!
Huo Xiuyuan’s eyes dimmed as he let out a long sigh.
He believed that he was definitely not weaker than Feng Haoyu in terms of the first three steps.
However, for the fourth step, secondary extraction, his Level 2 Spirit Fire was no match for a Level 3 which was able to extract more thoroughly. That was the reason for the difference in quality of their pills.
Before long, the other disciples were done with their elixir formation as well.
Even though there were more than 20 others who had succeeded in elixir formation, their elixirs contained too many impurities and had no grade because of their poor qualities.
Right then, Su Zimo was completed with his elixir formation as well as a thick aroma spread across the place. The moment the disciples outside the hall caught a whiff of it, their bodies shuddered and they let out intoxicated expressions as the spirit qi in their bodies began to rumble!
If the fragrance alone possessed such an effect, what grade was the elixir created?
The brown haired youth’s nose quivered as he sniffed carefully. Instantly, his expression changed as he bolted upright.
With disbelief in his eyes, he murmured softly, “Could it be…”
Swash!
An elixir flew out of the Elixir Furnace and hovered in midair – there were five patterns etched on it!
It was a perfect Foundation Establishment Elixir!
