“Truly impressive, Kui Xinyu, to have refined a seventh-grade late-stage pill under such pressure, and one of them is even of high quality.”
“Remarkable, Beihai is just a small place in the lower four domains, yet such a genius has emerged.”
“Moreover, it is the Xuan Yuan Dao Pill; even among seventh-grade late-stage pills, this one is not ordinary!”
“With such pressure, if one can refine the Xuan Yuan Dao Pill, then under normal circumstances, how strong would Kui Xinyu's abilities be?”
Everyone was astonished and began to discuss among themselves.
Ouyang Zhengqi had already approached the next contestant, Qiu Tian.
The murmurs instantly stopped, and all eyes were fixed on Qiu Tian, eagerly anticipating his results.
“How is it? How did it go?”
Curiosity arose among the crowd, as Qiu Tian was also a genius in pill refining, with results from the previous two rounds exceeding those of Qiu Tian.
Qiu Tian extended his hand, crushed the pill bottle, revealing eight round purple pills in his palm.
“Purple Yuan Return One Pill, seventh-grade late-stage king pill, five of medium quality, and three of low quality!” Master Ouyang Zhengqi observed for a moment before announcing.
“Indeed, another seventh-grade late-stage pill.”
“Hiss, could it be that the next few are also seventh-grade late-stage pills?”
“Difficult to say.”
Among the remaining contestants, two types of seventh-grade late-stage pills had already appeared, which had never been seen in past pill refinement competitions.
Exciting!
Moreover, everyone was secretly guessing who was stronger between Qiu Tian and Kui Xinyu.
The difficulty of refining the Purple Yuan Return One Pill and the Xuan Yuan Dao Pill was similar, but if it had to be debated, the Purple Yuan Return One Pill might be slightly harder, yet that little difference could almost be ignored.
If Qiu Tian's pills were clearly of a higher grade than Kui Xinyu's, then it would be easy to determine the results, but Kui Xinyu had refined a high-quality pill while Qiu Tian’s best was only medium quality.
What made it even more frustrating was that Qiu Tian had refined eight pills, while Kui Xinyu had only seven.
In such a complex situation, no one knew who was stronger or weaker, leaving them to rely on Master Ouyang Zhengqi's final decision.
Both Qiu Tian and Kui Xinyu were rather nervous; in the first two rounds, each round scored 100 points, but in this third round, the score would be a full 200 points.
This meant that the gap could widen significantly, and the previous few-point difference from the first two rounds could almost be ignored. As long as Master Ouyang Zhengqi deemed one’s refinement difficulty higher, that contestant could potentially overtake the other.
Anticipation filled the air!
This added suspense, especially since there were still a few contestants whose results had yet to be revealed.
Bang!
At that moment, Yan Chidao also crushed his pill bottle, revealing the pills he had refined.
Brilliant pill light suddenly erupted from his hand, with an astonishing aura.
“This… is definitely a seventh-grade late-stage pill.”
The crowd gasped; if someone had told them in the past that there would be more than three seventh-grade late-stage king pills in this competition, they would never have believed it. But now, they were witnessing it firsthand.
Eight red pills rolled in his hand, displaying intricate pill patterns and an intense fiery aura.
“Is this the Red Dragon Pill?”
“Very similar, but the Red Dragon Pill is not considered high difficulty among seventh-grade late-stage pills, right? It is significantly weaker than the Xuan Yuan Dao Pill and the Purple Yuan Return One Pill.”
“Alas, although the pill patterns look more complex and the grade seems decent, the Red Dragon Pill is inherently simple and at a natural disadvantage.”
The crowd shook their heads, feeling sorry for Yan Chidao. In the competition among the top pill refiners, someone had finally fallen behind.
The Red Dragon Pill is among the simplest of the seventh-grade late-stage king pills.
