381 The Alchemy challenge (2)

Shui Liying looked towards Zhan Chen after extracting the essence of the 'Hundred year white fern'. She felt a little surprised because Zhan Chen was looking at her during the competetion. She spread her soul consciousness and found Zhan Chen had already extracted essence from two spirit herbs. His speed was less compared to her speed but he had already extracted the essence from most important 'Starlight orchid flower'.

"This brat really has some talent. But it is childish of him if he thinks, he can beat me in a contest of pill concoction", Shui Liying thought to herself.

She refocused her attention on refining the spirit herbs and ignored Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen was completely relaxed as he matched the speed of Shui Liying effortlessly.

After the shorting and herb refining stage, it was the stage of pill condensation. It was the most important stage as it determined how good a pill would be after the completion of pill concoction.
