The alchemists were proficient in making easier pills first, leaving the hardest ones to be done later. From their perspective, it was harder to refine Spirit Yang Pill than the Lesser Transformation Pill because of the ingredients, but now the latter was more difficult to refine as well.

Shen Xiang, who had been leading, was now lagging behind others. This puzzled many people, but when they saw him sweat profusely, the elderly alchemists could guess something!

“Is it his first time making this kind of pill, then” an old man exclaimed in the crowd. Usually, when one uses simulation alchemy to make unfamiliar pills, it can very exhausting as they consume a lot of mental energy.

Shen Xiang was currently simulating the formation of pills in his mind. Whenever he made a mistake, he would explode and correct it immediately before continuing the simulation. This process repeated many times, requiring a rapid pace, as failing to correct mistakes would lead to an explosive reaction.

“The difficulty of the Lesser Transformation Pill is indeed not high!” Shen Xiang opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. He opened the pill furnace lid, taking out two blood-red pills.

He actually got two of them! The color indicated that they were of high quality, making many people unable to comprehend why Shen Xiang was still pursuing perfection in such a situation where he had just started making the pill.

They didn’t know that Shen Xiang’s subconscious forbade him from making pills carelessly, and in his eyes, the time spent refining poor-quality pills with fewer quantities was the same as that needed for perfect refinement.

Shen Xiang wanted to process the Soul-sealing Pill’s ingredients at a steady pace, appearing unconcerned about winning or losing. He treated pill-making as a joyful activity and fully immersed himself in it, finding pleasure within.

This was a realm that only those who fully dedicated themselves to pill-making could reach. Many experienced alchemists pursued this realm as they aged, and it significantly elevated a pill-maker’s capabilities.

The more terrifying thing was that although Fan Yukan, Lin Xiyi, and Xie Nannong were far ahead with their genius abilities, they still felt an inexplicable pressure that stemmed entirely from Shen Xiang.

Seeing how Shen Xiang handled the Soul-sealing Pill’s ingredients with clumsy movements, others could tell that he had never refined this pill before!

Only those who knew the intricacies of alchemy understood that Shen Xiang was challenging his limits and continuously surpassing them, treating the competition as part of his growth. This made him fully dedicated to making pills because he knew that surpassing limits would yield results far more significant than anything the Dry Yang Holy Water could offer.

The nineteen other participating alchemists were all proficient in refining earth-grade inferior pills, like the Nine Aperture Body Refining Pill. If they lost to Shen Xiang in this competition, it wouldn’t just be a loss; it would mean being significantly surpassed since Shen Xiang had never refined these pills before.

Thus, Fan Yukan and the others felt an inexplicable pressure. If they lost here, it would be a very embarrassing defeat. However, Shen Xiang wouldn’t face ridicule even if he lost because of his reputation.

The Soul-sealing Pill was a very rare soul-related pill in the Profane Martial World, making its refinement difficult. After death, souls would disperse and leave the body, but consuming this pill could stabilize the soul for a while. By using the Borrowing Body Revival Technique, one might be able to revive again or consume a resurrection pill that could bring someone back to life. Therefore, this pill was also considered a lifeline.

In particular, when some people were practicing and their souls might be vulnerable to influence, causing them to fall into madness, consuming Soul-sealing Pill could prevent such incidents from happening for a long time.

“The primary ingredients are Soul-sealing Grass and Soothing Spirit Flower, making it the most challenging to deal with their backlash, as they can counter-attack your spirit through his qi. Especially while being burned by flames, they may even influence your fire soul. Overcoming this difficulty makes the rest easier.”

Su Meiyao guided him as she explained, making Shen Xiang’s pill-making process slightly easier. However, this was just experience; success required him to gain personal insights.

“If your mental strength isn’t enough, I can use the dragon pearl to supply some energy. It still has a lot of power,” said Long Xuyi.

“We’ll discuss it later.” Shen Xiang put the ingredients into the pill furnace. He was refining the third batch at the slowest pace.

However, everyone knew that it was tough to refine Soul-sealing Pill. Even experienced alchemists might be attacked by their souls when making mistakes, causing a great deal of pain that even many senior alchemists found terrifying. Thus, being attacked by the primary ingredients would likely mean failure.

Not long after, Shen Xiang heard a tragic scream; someone’s pill furnace exploded while they were rolling on the ground and crying out. An old man rushed to him, giving the person a pill before taking them away from the arena.

“It’s inevitable that those who are making their first pill will have their souls attacked, suggesting Shen Xiang might fail here,” said Xie Shilong. Remembering his first attempt, he felt a chill down his spine.

When Shen Xiang started burning the ingredients with fire, he felt an unusual and violent force wreaking havoc within the pill furnace, causing it to tremble.

“It’s hard to simulate the fluctuations in attacking the soul using simulation alchemy. Refining Soul-sealing Pill relies on experience, stacking up to create the results,” Xie Shilong chuckled. He believed he would soon see Shen Xiang rolling on the ground and crying out.

As expected, Soul-sealing Grass and Soothing Spirit Flower’s released forces were very unpredictable. Without a fixed pattern of force changes, it was challenging to use simulation alchemy effectively.

However, Shen Xiang’s simulation technique had already achieved breakthroughs. He could observe the rapid changes in force very carefully, making it easier to incorporate them into his simulation. Although the patterns were unpredictable, when the changes happened slowly enough for Shen Xiang’s eyes, he could correct mistakes using his technique.

Within half an hour, five people were attacked by the ingredients’ forces on their souls and ended up being forced out of the competition. Many alchemists were surprised when they saw Shen Xiang, who was making his first attempt at Soul-sealing Pill. He had managed to endure longer than others, which overturned many alchemists’ beliefs that most people were barely alive when they tried it for the first time.

“Shit!” Shen Xiang yelled, followed by a low growl. His pill furnace started shaking violently.

The moment everyone was waiting for finally happened. Seeing Shen Xiang in such a state, they assumed he had already failed, but his pill furnace suddenly stabilized!

When they saw Shen Xiang’s expression, they knew he was enduring severe pain from his soul, but despite that, he refused to give up. He stabilized the pill furnace, preventing it from exploding!pearing on top of it. It was like the sun blazing in midair, now emitting a series of glaring red light beams."Would this be dangerous How did it manage to enter my divine ocean" Shen Xiang was puzzle...
