Soon, an exam monitor from the main stage took a storage ring and came back to Duan Gujin, opened the storage ring, and laid out the Spiritual Medicine and Elixir Recipe on the table.

Duan Gujin picked up the Elixir Recipe on the table and closely inspected it.

After a while, he took a deep breath, thinking: "This question is not very difficult for me! My strength lies in my powerful Spiritual Power!"

He closed his eyes and quickly went through the Alchemy steps on the Elixir Recipe in his mind.

After confirming there were no issues, he instructed the exam monitor to start the fire and then he began to refine the elixir.

Some elders on the main stage quickly noticed that someone below had started refining elixir, and they immediately fixed their gaze on Duan Gujin.

They saw Duan Gujin expertly placing the Spiritual Medicine into the Pill Furnace, then tempering and igniting the fire, the whole process flowing smoothly, and they all couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.

Those elders are old hands who had refined elixirs at least ten thousand times; initially, they thought Duan Gujin's speed was rapid, which might lead to mistakes, yet after observing for a while, the latter remained flawless.

After a while, those elders couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"That young man's Alchemy Techniques are so skilled! They're comparable to us old folks!"

When a true master makes a move, one knows if they have True Talent or not.

In the eyes of those old masters, Duan Gujin's performance was even more skilled than theirs at this moment, which undeniably shocked them.

Those elders then realized one thing—they concluded that Duan Gujin's Spiritual Power had likely reached the Sixth-level.

Soon, the chairman on the main stage asked the person next to him, wanting to find out which sect Duan Gujin belonged to.

"So, he is a disciple of the Blood Killing Sect!"

Seeing how quickly Duan Gujin was refining elixirs, some disciples from other sects felt anxious.

But this anxiety was their downfall.

A disciple from another sect, seeing Duan Gujin's swift Alchemy speed and wanting to increase his own, got distracted, and soon after, there was a bang from his Pill Furnace, and the unfinished, unformed Elixir Pills he was refining turned into a pile of charred material.

The disciple looked dejected immediately, but he quickly asked the exam monitor next to him if he could get another batch of Spiritual Medicine.

The exam monitor told the disciple that he could request more Spiritual Medicine.

Then, the exam monitor swiftly provided the disciple with a new set of Spiritual Medicine to restart his refinement.

Everyone who had entered here to take the Fifth-level Alchemist test had experienced plenty of hardships and would not easily give up.

Previously, that disciple had only wanted to slightly increase his Alchemy speed but lost control and failed, which was already a common occurrence for the disciple.

After calming himself down, the disciple was no longer influenced by Duan Gu.

Knowing he couldn't compare with Duan Gu, he focused on refining his elixir.

Time slowly passed by.

Soon, an hour had elapsed.

During this time, five disciples failed in their refining, and seeing half of the time already passed, they felt hopeless.

With no choice, they had to leave the venue early.

Now, with only an hour left, those still in the venue had faces full of gravity, knowing they couldn't afford any mistakes.

Once they made a mistake, leading to failure in Alchemy, it meant they could not attempt it again.

Suddenly, a loud bang resonated, and a Pill Furnace unexpectedly exploded.

The disciple next to the exploded Pill Furnace helplessly shook his head, knowing this failure was caused by his inability to control the temperature, ultimately leading to failed refining.

Realizing he had no chance to redo, the disciple could only give up on this test.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.

Some people knew that the Elixir Pills inside the Pill Furnace had turned into slag, and found themselves with no choice but to leave the field.

After completing the final step, Duan Gujin extinguished the Soul Fire.

When he inspected the inside of the Pill Furnace with his Divine Sense, he found three round, crystal-clear Elixir Pills inside.

Knowing that he had succeeded, he circulated his Primordial Power and directly lifted the lid of the Pill Furnace, then sucked up the three Elixir Pills inside.

He placed the three Elixir Pills on a wooden table covered with a white paper, arranging them according to the requirements of the Elixir Recipe.

This direct presentation by the individual was to prevent cheating.

Duan Gujin carefully presented the three Elixir Pills and then handed them over to an elder.

The elder received the Elixir Pills refined by Duan Gujin, carefully inspected them, and confirmed they were freshly refined.

If the Elixir Pills had not been refined just now, the scent would have been different.

Following that, the elder inspected the inside of the Elixir Pills with his Divine Sense to check the condition within.

After a moment, the elder nodded in satisfaction and said, "These are genuine finished products!"

Upon closer inspection, his pupils constricted as he saw three halos appearing on the Elixir Pills.

"My goodness! Three halos, this means these Elixir Pills are top-grade! How did this young man achieve this?"

After double-checking and confirming his findings, the elder passed the three Elixir Pills to another elder for observation.

"Look at his Elixir Pills; they are Super Fifth-rank Top-Grade Elixir!"

The elder communicated this to another elder through voice transmission.

Hearing this, another elder slightly furrowed his brow, took Duan Gujin's Elixir Pills, and after careful inspection, reached the same conclusion as the first elder.

"Have I passed this round?"

Duan Gujin asked cautiously, furrowing his brow and pondering for a while, as he couldn't figure out what could have been wrong with the three Elixir Pills he refined.

"It's fine, we were just not completely certain! Congratulations, you have passed the test of this round!"

The elder stated blandly.

"Oh, then may I ask why you weren't confident that the Elixir Pills I refined fully met your requirements? I checked them before, and the Elixir Pills I refined had no issues!"

Duan Gujin was puzzled; he had previously noticed that after another participant submitted his Elixir Pills, the elders seemed to conduct a perfunctory inspection and allowed that disciple to pass.

"Yours are special, the effects of the Elixir Pills you refined are particularly good!"

The elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that this young man in front of him was truly extraordinary, having refined Elixir Pills with three halos which even experienced elders like them couldn't produce.

In their understanding, the appearance of three halos on an Elixir Pill indicated that it was a top-grade Elixir.

Although the elders present could all refine Fifth-level Elixir Pills, even they could not easily produce top-grade Elixir Pills.

To refine a top-grade finished Elixir Pill, one would need extremely exquisite alchemy techniques, and each step of the process must be flawless and maintained in a perfect state.

Generally, maintaining such a perfect state is a challenging task.

Especially when refining high-level Elixir Pills, even seasoned Alchemists cannot always perfectly control the heat.

Furthermore, the quality of each Spiritual Medicine varies; some have high quality with strong Medicinal Power effects.

Others of poor quality have weaker Medicinal Power effects.

It is difficult for an Alchemist to precisely control the quality of Spiritual Medicine; they can only rely on their Divine Sense to sense it.
