Chapter 212: You Believe in Brother, Right?
He had previously thought that even if Feng Qingya could find an alchemist they could at most be third grade.
This is crazy… directly producing Third Grade in the first round, what about the later rounds?
Although Feng Mingyan was not an alchemist, he knew that there were fewer than fifty Third Grade alchemists in the world.
So, as long as Xuening could successfully produce Third Grade, advancing to the second round would be absolutely stable.
Moreover, from Yao Changsheng’s words, it seemed that he had already developed some appreciation for Xuening.
This was before even completing a first round, and he was already praising her?
But Feng Mingyan didn’t think Yao Changsheng was randomly flattering.
As the saying goes, “an expert can tell with one glance.”Through some techniques, a master like Yao Changsheng could see the level of an alchemist.
It was worth noting that Yao Changsheng was the chief alchemist of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Yunmeng City.
One could even say that he was the number one alchemist in Yunmeng City.
Liu Ming, who was being watched by the crowd, was only his disciple.
Feng Mingyan was puzzled about where Feng Qingya had found such an alchemist, and at the same time, he was extremely anxious.
As for Xuening’s performance, Feng Qingya was not surprised at all.
In the past few days in Tianning City, Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s stunning performances had already made her accustomed to it.
At this time, Feng Qingya’s heart was completely calm.
On the other side, Bai Susu’s expression also showed some surprise.
She then smiled faintly: “It seems I owe them an apology.”
Muttering to herself, her gaze fell on Tuoba Junlin beside her.
“It seems that the alchemist invited by Qingya has some unexpected strength.”
“Are you worried?”
“If she really can make it to the top three, then the Feng family will have a say in the matter.”
“You want to use the Tuoba family’s power to pressure them, but it might be difficult to do so.”
At the time, Bai Susu’s tone was quite playful.
Tuoba Junlin’s mouth, however, curved into a smile again: “Regarding this matter, I have never used the Tuoba family’s power, nor have I ever thought of using the Tuoba family’s influence as pressure.”
“I’ve said it before, Qingya is a smart person, and she will ultimately make the correct choice.”
As Tuoba Junlin spoke, he still exuded a warm and gentle aura, like jade.
While the various powers were each having their own thoughts and conversations, the alchemy platform above gradually began to emit the fragrance of pills.
At the same time, a faint smell of burnt offerings accompanied it.
Failing in alchemy was a common occurrence, and even more so in a gathering of alchemists like this, where many people’s hearts were still filled with anxiety.
The two hours given for the first round were actually quite generous.
Normally, producing First or Second Grade, or even Third Grade, wouldn’t take that long.
Even if one failed, starting over twice might be enough.
At this time, Xuening had already begun to fuse the refined medicinal materials.
She was one of the fastest people in terms of progress,
And those who were in the same step as her included Liu Ming, Bai Xiu, and a slender woman from the Alchemist Association beside Bai Xiu.
As for the Second Grade, Third Grade alchemists, they had almost all refined their medicinal materials by now.
In the fusion stage, Xuening’s speed was very fast.
Like during her previous practice, she had no pressure, and the fusion was extremely smooth.
Xuening followed the sequence, fusing the ten medicinal materials into the pill furnace, and a fragrance of pills gradually wafted out, with the embryo of the Heart-Calming Pill already taking shape.
“It’s good, it’s good. Last night’s events didn’t seem to have much of an impact on Xuening.”
“However, those guys on the platform, their speed doesn’t seem to be much slower than Xuening’s.”
“And the fragrance of pills emanating from them seems to be just as rich as the Heart-Calming Pill.”
“This alchemist gathering really does have some hidden dragons and crouching tigers.”
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration as he surveyed the entire alchemy platform.
He had always been smooth sailing in his alchemy journey, and previously, he had indeed looked down on the heroes of the world.
Being humble, vigilant, and cautious had always been Su Jingzhen’s code of conduct since he crossed over into the cultivation world.
He had always been low-key, but these days, it seemed like every event was going against his wishes, and he was always being pushed to the forefront.
But every time, he was able to handle it perfectly.
To the point where his heart had a thread of pride.
Today’s events once again made him clear-headed.
His current strength and position were still insignificant in Yunmeng City, let alone in the entire cultivation world.
This once again made him clear-headed.
“No matter when, one should always maintain reverence.”
After muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen’s face remained calm.
He quietly watched Xuening, who was fusing the medicinal materials in an orderly manner.
At this time, she had already fused the twelfth medicinal material, and with one more fusion, it would be a great success.
Under the gaze of so many Nascent Soul elders, no one dared to sabotage anyone.
So Xuening’s final fusion was extremely smooth.
At this time, a fragrance of pills wafted out of her ordinary pill furnace once again.
The Heart-Calming Pill was completely formed!
Xuening controlled the flames, continuing to refine the pill in the furnace.
The pill became more and more perfect.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly.
He transmitted a message to Xuening: “Xuening, middle-grade is enough, don’t overdo it!”
At this point in the alchemist gathering, Su Jingzhen couldn’t distinguish the specific type of pill each person was refining.
But he could see that among all the participants, there were only around thirty Third Grade alchemists.
So as long as one could successfully refine a Third Grade pill, even if it was of lower quality, it would be enough to advance to the second round.
Therefore, in Su Jingzhen’s view, there was no need to stand out too much in the first round.
This time, the main goal was to help Feng Qingya, and a stable advancement was the best.
If one stood out too much, it might attract the attention of some small-minded people who would try to sabotage them.
Su Jingzhen deeply understood that one should not harbor malicious intentions, but one should also be prepared for others’ malice.
Last night’s events had already occurred, and today, at the alchemist gathering, it was only normal to take precautions.
Be careful and cautious, Su Jingzhen hoped that before entering the third round, or at least before entering the top three, they shouldn’t reveal their true strength.
After receiving Su Jingzhen’s transmission, Xuening’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
But she still chose to lightly tap the pill furnace, and the Heart-Calming Pill, which was being refined in the fierce flames, flew out instantly.
The refining time was insufficient, and compared to their previous practice, the quality was indeed one level lower.
It had only just reached middle-grade quality.
“Brother Su, is this… really okay?”
“After all, there’s only one chance, and this is extremely important for Sister Qingya.”
Su Jingzhen took the Heart-Calming Pill from Xuening’s hand and examined it, smiling: “Do you believe in Brother?”
Hearing this, Xuening’s face revealed a warm smile: “Of course, I believe.”
Actually, at this time, Xuening’s trust in Su Jingzhen in Yunmeng City might have already surpassed Feng Qingya.
After all, she didn’t think Feng Qingya could do what Su Jingzhen did yesterday.

Seeing the suddenly flashing golden words, Su Jingzhen was taken aback.
He smiled again: “Don’t worry, our Heart-Calming Pill will definitely advance to the second round!”
