Chapter 60: A Maverick! A Cauldron for Beginners to Practice With
?
At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly saw other people’s alchemy. It could be said that there were all kinds of methods and tricks. For a moment, he was a little engrossed in it and forgot about the time.
However, he had never thought that he would stand out from the crowd. After all, it was such an important competition, and an Alchemy Emperor was overseeing it. Everyone was putting in all their effort and sharpening their minds to be in the limelight. Gu Xi’s attitude seemed maverick.
“No way, no way. He can’t be refining the Origin Convergence Pill, right?”
Although the Origin Convergence Pill was difficult to refine, most people were still able to refine tier 5 pills. No matter how bad it was, at least they would refine it halfway. At least, one had to show a fighting attitude.
It was just like a test. No matter how many questions one did not know how to answer, one could randomly answer. Who knows, one might just get lucky and get a few points. It was better than doing nothing and handing in a blank paper.
“How can there be such a person who doesn’t care about the competition? This is simply disrespecting pill refinement and insulting the Alchemy Emperor!”
Some people who could not participate in the competition saw Gu Xi’s appearance and posturing and were instantly angered. They wished they could kick Gu Xi out and personally participate in the competition.
“Could it be that this kid is grandstanding and wants to refine the pill at the last moment to get the Alchemy Emperor’s attention? He’s really good at scheming.”
“He’s too good at showing off. Was he trying to pull off the ‘I’ll let you guys refine first and I can catch up with you guys easily’ kind of thing?”
“He’s already showing off to this extent. This is the Capital’s Dao Conference. Does he have to show off like this?”
There were even some people who suspected Gu Xi’s motive. After all, it was impossible to be the first. Being the last to hand in his paper was also quite eye-catching.
When the Supreme Purity Sect people heard the discussions around them, they also looked a little uneasy. They knew Gu Xi’s strength. No matter what, he should not be like this now.
“Elder, what is Senior Brother Gu trying to do? If he doesn’t refine the pills soon, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
At this time, the incense on the field had already been burned by more than half. It would be a big joke if he acted too pretentiously and did not have time to refine the pills.
Gu Xi had never played by common sense. He was mysterious and unpredictable. How could Elder Wu possibly know what he was thinking? He shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. There’s no use in us being anxious.”
Wu Huaqing was also an alchemist. Logically speaking, he should be paying the most attention to the situation on the stage. However, at this moment, he appeared to be somewhat absent-minded.
After all, Gu Xi had given him too much shock and surprise, so much so that Wu Huaqing had not yet adjusted himself.
The other disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect all believed Gu Xi’s words. They thought that the medicinal pill was taken out by a mysterious Master behind him. Only Wu Huaqing himself knew that this medicinal pill was very likely refined by Gu Xi himself.
If he could refine a Flawless pill, how could a mere Origin Convergence Pill possibly be difficult for Gu Xi?
Although the disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect felt that Wu Huaqing was a little strange, they did not say anything in the end. Instead, they paid close attention to the movements in the arena.
Gu Xi finally withdrew his wandering gaze and thought about the cauldron he had exchanged with the Alchemy Emperor. After thinking for a moment, he casually took a random cauldron. After all, it was not the time for the finals yet. There was no need to use that cauldron.
However, in the next second, he once again found himself in a dilemma. What was the first step in refining the Origin Convergence Pill?
Everyone saw that Gu Xi had finally taken out the cauldron. It was a very ordinary cauldron. There were not any unnecessary decorations or patterns on its body, and it looked rather grey.
It was like a new cauldron that could be bought and practiced on the streets with just a few spirit stones. Even if it was damaged, it would not cause any heartache.
“I, I didn’t see wrongly, right? Isn’t this the cauldron that only newbies use?”
The others immediately became speechless.
Who did not know that a good cauldron had extremely powerful effects? Not only could it assist an alchemist, but it could also provide all kinds of bonuses during the refining process, solidifying the medicinal effects, and making the quality of the final core formation even higher.
Moreover, it could also greatly increase the success rate of refining pills. Therefore, choosing a cauldron that was suitable for oneself could be said to be extremely important. If one wanted to do a good job, one must first sharpen the weapon. If even the tool that was suitable was not good enough, how could one expect him to be able to refine a good pill?
“Which sect is this person from? He took out a cauldron for beginners. I’m afraid he’s not here to joke. His sect is so poor that they can’t even provide him with a proper cauldron?”
“This is simply the greatest joke in the world. There have been so many Dao Competitions held in the capital, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone take out such a cauldron to participate in the competition.”
The people of the Supreme Purity Sect lowered their heads silently. Many of them looked at Wu Huaqing as if they were condemning him for not giving Gu Xi a good cauldron.
Wu Huaqing was shocked. “Why are you all looking at me?!”
It seemed that Gu Xi was not short of money. The Sect Master and the elders had given him a lot of good things. He really did not expect that he would use a novice cauldron to participate in the competition.
The people of Supreme Purity Sect sneaked to the back to avoid being found out that they were from that ‘poor’ and ‘stingy’ sect.
It was too unfair! They were innocent!
If that was all, it would have been fine. After all, who would use a novice cauldron to participate in such an important competition? It was hard not to attract attention.
Even though Gu Xi was standing at the back, he still attracted the attention of many people. They could see his every move clearly.
“Why did he put the Seven-star Silver Bell Grass in? This should be the last one.”
“Wrong, the sequence is all wrong. The Origin Convergence Pill requires the myriad forms to return to the Origin. He is so messy, it would be strange if he could return to the Origin. Does this person know how to refine the Origin Convergence Pill? How did he get into the competition?”
