"If both of you are ready, then you may start! Medicinal Ingredients that are available to choose are all inside the room below our seats, and you're given three tries. So, make sure that each try count." the City Lord waved his hand to start the competition between Yang Guang and Yuan Yao.
And at the same time, the bomb of medicinal fragrance caused by accumulated herbs spreads to the entire Tianyu City Arena.
Catching the Reformation Pill's recipe scroll with their hand, the two participants hastily opened the stroll to start studying them. In the first five minutes, they smiled. But next, both of them felt that sweating alone is unable to describe their hopelessness.
To concoct an Azure Soul Pill, all they need is either the Azure Jade Grass or between three to four medicinal ingredients. Cold Heat Pellet takes four, Small Huang Pellet five, and Triple Concoction Pill is so far the only recipe that needs six medicinal ingredients.
And this Reformation Pill Recipe required fifteen different medicinal ingredients to be refined into a unique medicine. By taking this Reformation Pill, it increases the effectiveness of building a Jade Cultivation Body by fivefold.
Furthermore, this medicine can also be taken as a recovery pill in case of injuries towards a cultivator's foundation. At least up to date, there are no medicinal recipes that Yang Guang possessed has this effect.

"Fifteen extinct medicinal ingredients. How can I recreate an entire recipe of Formation Pill if the required herbs are gone?" Yang Guang scratched his scalp and felt a slight headache due to the difficulty of this question.
"Master, please go into the Medicinal Ingredient's room. I'll lend you a hand in what to choose," suddenly, Yu-Ding's voice came into his head to give him some help.
"I'll go now, but will the others found out about you?" Yang Guang makes the first move and entered the room. While at the same time, he expressed his worry about getting exposed by the experts present inside the Tianyu City Arena.
"We won't, but in exchange, we'll have to refine an imperfect Formation Pill. Although I want you to win gloriously, based on your strength now, I worry that refining a perfect pill will harm your cultivation." Yu-Ding hesitates but still let Yang Guang knew about her worries.
"Also, your strength is too weak. I am worried that the display of your skills will cause hidden danger in the future." Yu-Ding added.
"I'll be relying on you to choose the most suitable medicinal ingredients then. As for the refinement process, we'll see how lucky I am in refining a slightly proper Formation Pill." Yang Guang nodded. This also means he agreed to Yu-Ding's decision to refine a successful pill while ignoring its quality.
"Take the Seedless Sunflower,"
"Bunch of Lightning Grass. Choose those that started to turn soft,"
Ice Medicinal Lotus,
Fire Horned Beast, Sponge Ganoderma, Water Lantern Pepper.
Blood from three different Medicinal Turtles. Seaweed Conch fragment of shell. Deep-Sea Plain Jade.
Blood Tiger's Core, Jade-Mine Serpent's Core, and Lightning Beetles, a bunch of them.
"Licorice, Young Wormwood, and Poison Purple Berries,"
"If I'm not mistaken, these ingredients are enough for us to refine a Yellow-colored Pill." Yu-Ding chooses everything that possibly converted to refine a middle-quality Formation Pill.
"Study them. We're going to take a few additional medicinal ingredients later to replace some. We'll have to act a few times to removes their suspicion on us before we start refining the pill," Yu-Ding said.
"Change the wormwood later. Choose those younger roots. As for the Licorice, start soaking them with some alcohol spirits while we collect more of them over."
"And bring back some Azure Jade Grass, Blood Fruit, Blood Clam, Dragon Whisker Flower, and a box of Green Jade Insect. We'll use the Meridian Soothing Syrup later." Yu-Ding instructed Yang Guang to collect the second batch of ingredients to be used.
Soon, Yang Guang collected the second and third batches of ingredients.
And at this moment, almost everyone present in the arena is assuming Yang Guang as a person that messing with medicinal ingredients. As his achievement in creating the Profound Yun Pill is not known by many people, more and more negative comments started to pop up as the competition continued.
Even Tian Peng and Yu Wen had the urge to go up to the stage and knock some sense back to Yang Guang but, since their teacher Xiao Yi wasn't bothered with what Yang Guang is doing, they held in.
Only Xiao Yi, Tang Hulu, and a few elders from Ten Thousand Pills Sect noticed what Yang Guang is trying to do.
"Your preparation is all done. Three trials. It all comes to your skills in handling flames, their order to be added into the cauldron, and how you cook them, it all depends on you."
"Makes your ancestor proud," Yu-Ding added before she left.
"Looks like there is something to expect in this year's Junior Conference," some experts with a background in Alchemy are packed with expectations as Yang Guang fired the cauldron!
The flames ignited using his Soul Qi, was not yellow, orange, or blue, but instead, purple! That's the solid proof about Yang Guang's Art of Jade Flame has reached the entry-level of Profound Stage!
