Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"All of them are green-grade medicinal herbs. Does Fu Yunshi intend to create green-grade pills here?" The alchemists from the Gu God Domain and the Myriad Spirits Domain exclaimed in astonishment.

After they finished speaking, they looked at Ye Liuyun, who looked conflicted because she was thinking about which type of pill to synthesize. White-grade pills were definitely not an option.

There are too many uncertainties in synthesizing white-grade pills. Based on Ye Liuyun's synthesis experience over the years, it is highly unlikely that he will be able to synthesize any particularly useful white-grade pills.

She can't synthesize the Heaven-Returning Pill every time; she's only synthesized it once in all these years, like winning the lottery.

As for green-grade pills, the chance of synthesizing a green-grade pill that yields a pill of extremely high value is only about 30%, and the remaining 70% is likely some inexplicable junk.

"Damn it! Whatever, I'll just go for the green-grade pill." After hesitating for a long time, Ye Liuyun chose the green-grade pill.

Blue-grade pills produce too many celestial phenomena, which could easily cause trouble. Green-grade pills, due to the current suppression of the laws of heaven and earth, will certainly not produce the exaggerated effects of the past, but thunder, wind, and rain are certain.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun also took out several green-grade medicinal herbs, a scene that shocked the surrounding alchemists as well.

“Tongming Grass, Qingxin Wood, and Zhenhun Flower are all green-grade medicinal herbs. These three herbs have similar effects, all having a calming and tranquilizing effect. Is Elder Ye also going to create a green-grade pill? But isn’t the combination of these herbs a bit hasty?” The yellow-grade alchemists wondered.

They were being too polite in using the word "careless." If it had been some other junior who had brought out these medicinal herbs instead of Ye Liuyun, they probably would have been cursing.

Because any alchemist who knows a little about pharmacology knows that to create elixirs, one must properly combine medicinal materials.

Looking at Fu Yunshi, her choice of medicinal materials was very reasonable. However, to create elixirs, pharmacological compatibility alone is not enough. The most important thing is the fusion of the medicinal ingredients, which is the most difficult part.

This is also related to the alchemist's lineage of alchemy skills; if one's alchemy skills are too poor, it is absolutely impossible to create pills.

However, for those who can reach the Purple-level Alchemist, inheriting the legacy is definitely not a problem.

If refining elixirs created by predecessors is merely copying their methods, then creating one's own elixirs is no less challenging than developing a groundbreaking new chip.

Fu Yunshi has already started. Each person has three chances, and the chance of succeeding on the first try is very small.

Seeing that Fu Yunshi had started, Ye Liuyun also planned to start, but she had to pretend and not act too outrageously.

Normally, given Ye Liuyun's speed, synthesizing a green-grade pill would be a piece of cake; it probably wouldn't even take ten minutes.

However, in order to avoid shocking others, Ye Liuyun could only slow down and pretend to study the medicinal herbs, but her eyes were always on Fu Yunshi.

She wasn't a proper alchemist and didn't quite understand what it was like for an alchemist to create pills, because her pills could be described as either creations or random synthesis, since pharmacology didn't exist for her.

Can a pill that has no pharmacological properties be considered a creation of pills? It's more accurate to say that a thing resembling a pill has been created.

Ye Liuyun had to admit that if she hadn't met Lin Qingyou, Fu Yunshi's talent in alchemy would definitely have been superior to hers.

Fu Yunshi was very serious, focusing all her attention on the medicinal herbs. She had already begun refining them, and with the help of the strange fire, the refining process would definitely be very fast.

Seeing that the woman had started refining medicinal herbs, Ye Liuyun quickly followed suit. However, even though she was refining herbs casually, her refining speed was still much faster than Fu Yunshi's.

In just a few minutes, several portions of medicinal herbs had been transformed into essence, and Fu Yunshi was still patiently refining them.

"Such speed! Elder Ye's alchemy skills must be superior to Fu Yunshi's. I have never seen such a comprehensive alchemy technique before," a Yellow-level alchemist exclaimed.

If Ye Liuyun had failed at making a stew, that would have been one thing; he would probably have said something nonsensical. But the problem is, Ye Liuyun didn't fail.

After Ye Liuyun successfully refined and purified the herbs, he glanced at Fu Yunshi again and discovered that she had not yet finished processing all the medicinal materials.

"Forget it, never mind. I can slow down the process of synthesizing the pills. This woman is quite a genius at alchemy, so I can't discourage her too much," Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

She tried to slow down and wait for Fu Yunshi, but after about ten minutes, Fu Yunshi finally finished purifying the medicinal materials. However, during the synthesis, she only lasted three minutes. The essence of the medicinal materials that had just been fused together suddenly exploded, which meant that her first attempt at creating a pill had failed.

Fu Yunshi was not annoyed when she failed to refine the medicine for the first time. Instead, she raised her head slightly and glanced in Ye Liuyun's direction. She then discovered that Ye Liuyun was also in the process of synthesizing medicinal materials, and the effect of his synthesis seemed to be better than hers.

Upon seeing this, Fu Yunshi clenched her fist, feeling a little nervous.

Ye Liuyun seemed to notice Fu Yunshi looking at her. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly trembled, and then there was a thud. The fused pills exploded, and a large amount of black gas filled the furnace.

Seeing this, Fu Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah! Thank goodness, I thought he would succeed on his first try," Fu Yunshi muttered to herself.

Let's look at Ye Liuyun again.

"Oh dear, it failed. It seems that synthesizing pills is not so simple after all," Ye Liuyun said deliberately.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Fu Yunshi, who was also looking at her. Ye Liuyun then grinned at Fu Yunshi.

Fu Yunshi was taken aback by Ye Liuyun's smile, then quickly looked away and continued her study.

As for the onlookers around them, they didn't seem discouraged by Ye Liuyun and Fu Yunshi's first failure. On the contrary, they felt that it was normal to fail the first time.

If it succeeds on the first try, that would be a miracle.

The second time should go much more smoothly, since the first time was in the exploratory stage.

And so the two began the second round of drug extraction and fusion, and Fu Yunshi was much faster this time.

It was at least three minutes faster than the first time, while Ye Liuyun followed Fu Yunshi at a steady pace.

Fu Yunshi quickly began fusing the medicinal herbs, and this time it went relatively smoothly. Ye Liuyun was also about to begin fusing the pills, but just as Fu Yunshi's medicinal herbs were gradually turning into pills, a piercing thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky.

The thunderclap was so sudden that Fu Yunshi's hand trembled, and the nearly formed pill in the medicine furnace shattered again.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Fu Yunshi couldn't help but look up at the sky.

It is still night, but the night sky, which was originally bright with the moon and full of stars, has been covered by a dark cloud, making the night sky pitch black.

"Damn it! What the hell? There was a sudden clap of thunder, which startled me so much that my hand jerked and the furnace exploded." Ye Liuyun also complained with great dissatisfaction.

The onlookers, who had been watching intently, also looked at the sky with puzzlement. They had been focused on the two of them and hadn't paid attention to the sky, only to suddenly realize that dark clouds had covered the sun.

Of course, this was actually a thundercloud that Ye Liuyun had attracted, because she was about to complete her elixir. However, after seeing Fu Yunshi's furnace explode, she immediately gave up on her elixir.

Ye Liuyun was certain he could beat Fu Yunshi, but he didn't want to undermine the confidence of a true alchemy genius with his cheat-level alchemy skills.

This was actually Lin Qingyou's idea, to ask Ye Liuyun to be a little more polite and not be too direct.

To put it bluntly, Lin Qingyou has taken a liking to Fu Yunshi. After all, she is a rare genius in alchemy, and she cherishes her talent.

Fu Yunshi took a deep breath. If it hadn't been for the sudden thunder, she was confident that she could have successfully refined the pill.

To prevent herself from being disturbed by external noises again, Fu Yunshi took a deep breath, then used her magic to block out her hearing, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the fusion of the pills.

Seeing that Fu Yunshi was making another move, and looking very confident, Ye Liuyun realized that Fu Yunshi was about to succeed, so she could stop pretending.

As the two began refining the medicine for the third time, ten minutes later, they both entered the pill-forming stage at the same time.

As Ye Liuyun's pill took shape, thunder and lightning struck the sky once again. These deafening claps of thunder made the cultivators look up at the sky again.

"It's thundering again, what's going on?" The ordinary cultivators seemed puzzled.

However, those alchemists of purple rank or higher had a completely different expression.

"Dan Lei? Haha, heavens, it's Dan Lei! One of them is about to complete the pill they created!" Tai Rong and the others exclaimed.

They might witness a miracle; a new type of elixir was about to be born right before their eyes.

But they couldn't figure out who had caused Danlei, and they couldn't tell.

About twenty minutes later, there was movement from Fu Yunshi's side. A golden light shot up from her medicine furnace and hovered above Fu Yunshi's head.

"Haha, I did it! I did it! By the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, your disciple has broken through his own limits!" Fu Yunshi laughed with immense joy.

Her pill flew up from the furnace and hovered above her head. Not long after, a bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds and hit the pill directly.

This is the Pill Tribulation. The birth of each new type of pill will trigger a heavenly tribulation, and the higher the grade, the stronger the celestial phenomena.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Fu Yunshi's pills quickly withstood three bolts of heavenly lightning. After the lightning subsided, many lightning patterns appeared on her pills. This was a unique pill, and in the future, when refining this type of pill, lightning patterns would no longer appear.

Fu Yunshi felt she had already won. As the lightning stopped attacking her pills, she quickly used her magic to grab them and began to examine them as if they were precious treasures.

"It's done! It seems this tribulation lightning is Fu Yunshi's alchemy lightning. As expected of the first genius in the Nine Heavens Domain's alchemy world, with such talent, she has the potential to advance to a divine-grade alchemist in the future." Tai Rong and the others couldn't help but stand up and praise her.

Just when everyone thought Ye Liuyun had lost, something unexpected happened again. After Fu Yunshi's pill was successfully made, a white light shot up from Ye Liuyun's medicine furnace.

The white light was especially captivating in the darkness. It shot into the sky, dispelling the dark clouds, and at that moment, night seemed to have turned into day.

A very strange landscape appeared in the sky.

"This? No way? With this commotion, Elder Ye has also succeeded?" Everyone was once again drawn to the commotion on Ye Liuyun's side.

The white light pierced through the darkness, creating a huge void. The pure white light shone through the void onto the Daoist Peak, a light that was both warm and reassuring.

Not only that, beautiful celestial music began to resound in the sky. The sound was like celestial music from the immortal realm. Upon hearing it, everyone fell silent and instinctively calmed down to listen to this music that was like the celestial music of the Great Dao.

The voice sounded as if a celestial being were preaching.

Fu Yunshi, who had been quite confident, fell silent upon hearing this voice, staring at Ye Liuyun, who was bathed in celestial light.

A pure white pill, as white as jade, slowly floated up from the medicine furnace and was finally caught in Ye Liuyun's hand.

"Done." Ye Liuyun grabbed the pill, and the white light that rose from the sky disappeared, as did the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao.

However, everyone seemed to be hypnotized by the voice and did not react, as if they were still immersed in the immortal's sermon.

Moreover, this Great Dao Heavenly Sound was not just an ordinary sound. Many cultivators present who were stuck at the bottleneck of their cultivation suddenly seemed to have an epiphany, and many seemed to be about to step into another realm at any moment.

The person who benefited the most was Tianyi Laozu.

After listening to the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, Ancestor Tianyi discovered that the bottleneck in his realm that he had been unable to break through for so many years had loosened at this moment.

Soon everyone was fully awakened from the Great Dao Heavenly Sound.

After Tianyi Patriarch awoke, the first thing he did was look at Ye Liuyun, or rather, at the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand, with an incredulous expression.

"Taibai, I'm leaving things here to you. I suddenly feel I'm about to break through my cultivation level, so I'll go back to seclusion first," Ancestor Tianyi suddenly said to Li Bai.

All of this was sudden, but Li Bai and the others felt it was quite normal, because they had all gained a lot of insights from the Great Dao Heavenly Sound.

Both Tianjian and Elder Tianmu believed that given time, they would be able to break through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

"What kind of pill is this? It can actually elicit the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao. This is a blessing from the Heavenly Dao! We have benefited greatly from listening to this Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao." Those cultivators in the Transformation Realm have the most insights.

"Yes, we thought Fu Yunshi's pill lightning was already amazing enough, but we didn't expect Elder Ye to succeed as well, and even trigger the blessing of the heavens. Who do you think won?" The alchemists began to talk.

But is there any need to say more? One of them only triggered ordinary pill lightning. Pill lightning is the most common celestial phenomenon in the creation of pills. But in addition to ordinary celestial phenomena, there are also more profound blessings from the Heavenly Dao.

It depends on the effects of the pills you create. Only some exceptionally powerful pills will receive the blessing of Heaven.

Fu Yunshi looked at the pill in her hand, then at Ye Liuyun. She already knew the outcome.

But this competition still needs a result.

"I didn't expect you to succeed in refining it too," Fu Yunshi said to Ye Liuyun.

"Haha, what a coincidence, Miss Fu, you succeeded too." Ye Liuyun said, feigning excitement.

Fu Yunshi gave a wry smile, then spoke to the senior alchemists around her.

"Esteemed seniors in the world of alchemy, I humbly request that you appraise our pills," Fu Yunshi pleaded.

As soon as Fu Yunshi spoke, those alchemists who had reached the purple level or above came up to the stage again, including Tai Rong and the others.

After all the alchemists stepped down from the stage, they first came to Ye Liuyun's side. Compared to Fu Yunshi's pills, Ye Liuyun's pills clearly piqued their curiosity more. How bad could the effect of a pill that could trigger the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao be?

Most importantly, Ye Liuyun's creation of elixirs was successful on an irrational basis.

"Elder Ye, may we take a look at your pills?" the alchemists asked excitedly.

Ye Liuyun smiled and nodded, then opened his palm, revealing a white jade-like pill. A Yellow-level alchemist at the Transformation Realm immediately used his power to grab the pill, which floated in the air under his power.

No one reached out to touch it; instead, they enveloped it with their magic.

They began to examine the elixir carefully.

"Wonderful! I've never seen such a pill before. It's so beautiful. I just don't know what its effects are. It can't just be an ordinary green-grade pill. How could a green-grade pill trigger a blessing from the heavens?" The alchemists stared at the pill and talked as they observed it.

As for Fu Yunshi, she was holding onto the pills she had just refined, but no one paid any attention to her; Ye Liuyun had completely overshadowed her.

Fu Yunshi felt a little frustrated and stood there with mixed feelings.

Although she had already guessed the outcome, to be honest, this was the first failure in her life, and a complete failure at that, as she encountered a young alchemist who was far more outstanding than herself.

“Fu Yunshi, Fu Yunshi, you used to be so narrow-minded, always thinking that no one of your generation was better than you at alchemy. Well, you’ve met your match today.” Fu Yunshi said with a wry smile.

Ye Liuyun glanced at Fu Yunshi, who was standing alone to the side, in the crowd. She had already tried her best to minimize the impact on Fu Yunshi. As for the rest, Ye Liuyun had no other choice but to rely on Fu Yunshi's own mindset.

"Elder Ye, do you know the specific effects of this pill?" After observing for a while, these people could only conclude that the pill must be related to one's state of mind, such as a pill for enlightenment or a pill that targets the bottleneck of inner demons.

Judging from the medicinal materials Ye Liuyun used to refine this pill, that's the case.
