Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

An ancient pill furnace with eight angles and eight legs flew out from his body.

The scorching aura made the temperature of the great hall rise.

The half-human tall bronze divine furnace was engraved with innate trigram patterns, spiritual light flowing, and its presence extraordinary.

This was precisely Wang Teng's Orange Legendary Level pill furnace—the Eight Trigrams Divine Furnace.

The appearance of the pill furnace shocked the entire scene!

Orange Legendary Level pill furnace!

That could double the success rate of alchemy!

It's simply a divine artifact in alchemy that one could only wish for.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Teng actually possessed one.

This guy is truly surprising!

The alchemists on the field were filled with envy.

On the high platform, Mu Gu and Han Feng's eyes were also glowing, full of envy.

"Brother Mu Gu, I never thought this guy would also have an Orange Legendary Level pill furnace."

"Indeed~! It's a pity that such a good pill furnace is in the hands of a middle-level alchemist, it's simply a waste."

"Exactly!"

Their tones were immediately somewhat sour.

"Brother Mu Gu, once we complete the assessment and gain the title of certified alchemist, let's exchange a few spirit pills with that kid for this pill furnace!"

"That's right! With the spirit pills of certified alchemists, that kid should be grateful beyond words!"

"No matter these things, let's begin!"

At present, the two began raising the furnace for alchemy.

Below the high platform, everyone was also watching nervously.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Teng looked at the medicinal ingredients and the pill furnace in front of him but did not make a move.

He was hesitating!

He just calculated that even with the help of the pill furnace and his talent, his success rate was only 49.6%.

A success rate not even over fifty percent was somewhat unreliable.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Right, the reason for failures in alchemy is largely due to the excessive impurities in the medicinal ingredients.

If he could extract the impurities from the ingredients, greatly improving their quality, that should significantly increase the success rate of alchemy!

Thinking of this, Wang Teng's eyes gleamed.

Then he picked up a medicinal ingredient and lightly wiped it.

"Extract impurities!"

From the palm of his hand, a subtle white light shone.

A moment later, he opened his palm, revealing a significant amount of gray impurities.

A medicinal ingredient was thus purified, its quality soaring a high level.

Wang Teng was delighted, it indeed worked.

This time he changed the extraction strategy, extracting only impurities and not the essence.

Unexpectedly, it worked as he desired.

So, he continued to purify the medicinal ingredients.

According to his estimation, if all the ingredients were purified and then used in alchemy, the success rate would increase by at least another 25%.

With this calculation, his success rate could reach 74.6% or higher, which was promising.

With this thought, Wang Teng became even more enthusiastic about purifying the ingredients.

The people below were puzzled by this scene.

In their eyes, Wang Teng's behavior was odd.

They only saw Wang Teng caress each medicinal ingredient without proceeding with alchemy, wondering what he was up to.

At the same time, Mu Gu and Han Feng also noticed Wang Teng's strange behavior.

Their eyes showed mockery.

They really couldn't understand, why this guy wasn't honestly doing alchemy but fiddling with the ingredients instead, what he could be thinking?

Could it be that he gave up in despair and decided to abandon it?

Altogether, it seemed laughable!

At present, the two thought Wang Teng was no longer worth paying attention to, and fully immersed themselves in alchemy.

Soon, Wang Teng had purified all the ingredients.

All of this was done silently, unbeknownst to anyone.

Looking at the purified ingredients in front of him, Wang Teng's confidence soared.

By this time, the time limit for refining elixir pills was about halfway through.

But Wang Teng was calm as ever; with the Eight Trigrams Divine Furnace and being a middle-level alchemist, the time needed for refining pills would be reduced.

At present, Wang Teng methodically placed those ingredients into the Eight Trigrams Divine Furnace and began the alchemy process.

Once all the ingredients were in the pill furnace, Wang Teng flicked his index finger to ignite the furnace fire.

"Boom~!" "Boom~!" "Boom~!"

Then, Wang Teng's hands fluttered as he pinched the pill formula, officially starting the alchemy.

The set of actions flowed smoothly, leaving people dazzled.

The crowd below was slightly moved and started whispering softly.

"I see Wang Teng's actions are quite skilled!"

"But unfortunately, he is ultimately just a middle-level alchemist, destined to fail."

"Indeed~! Whether or not a certified alchemist can emerge today depends on the performances of Mu Gu and Han Feng."

"Exactly~! Hopefully, Mu Gu and Han Feng won't have too bad a luck. As for Wang Teng, we shouldn't have high hopes."

"Sister, do you think Wang Teng he..."

"Sigh~! Although he is young and promising, how can he compete with two high-level alchemists this time? If he could hone himself for another month, he might be close."

The crowd kept discussing, their tones full of disbelief in Wang Teng.

Among the crowd, Qian Lingxue pouted, feeling somewhat displeased.

However, she too was filled with concern for Wang Teng.

Thus, the whole venue was focused on Mu Gu and Han Feng, eyes filled with hope and some tension.

They painstakingly gathered the ingredients and took the time to come, naturally hoping to witness the emergence of a certified alchemist.

Only then could they issue alchemy rewards.

No one wanted a wasted trip; they naturally hoped that at least one of Mu Gu or Han Feng could pass the assessment.

As for Wang Teng, they had already given up, no one had confidence in him.
