Chapter 188 Refining a strange elixir

"We don't need it." Qi Lan was about to refuse, but Ye Shuo spoke first.

"Hey." Chong Shuyao shook her head, "I'm not a bad person, why do you always have such strong hostility towards me?" She sighed slightly, and suddenly turned to look at Qi Lan, a pair of phoenixes.

His eyes were full of charm.

"Qi Lan, do you need my help?" She smiled softly again, and this smile was even more charming.

Qi Lan looked at her coldly. Even though Chong Shuyao was acting charming and charming now, Qi Lan couldn't feel the slightest emotion in her heart.

"Qi Lan, you will need my help." Chong Shuyao seemed to be reluctant.

Ye Shuo was about to send Chong Shuyao away when suddenly, Qi Lan spoke: "Okay, since this is specially left for us, I'll thank you first."

"Huh?" Ye Shuo looked back at Qi Lan without knowing why. It was clearly Qi Lan who said before that he should not have any contact with Chong Shuyao. Why did he suddenly agree?

At this moment, Qi Lan felt that his whole body was light and airy, and there was always a hazy feeling in front of his eyes, like a dream. He felt that his thinking was very clear, and his consciousness was also very clear, but he did not understand what he was thinking about.

Logically speaking, he should not agree to Chong Shuyao, but now his thinking seems to be controlled by an invisible force, but he himself does not feel anything wrong at all. Agreeing to Chong Shuyao seems to be

A very normal and taken-for-granted thing.

Ye Shuo looked at Qi Lan. Qi Lan's expression was normal and his eyes had not lost focus. He did not look like someone was controlling his mind.

On the contrary, Qi Lan found that Ye Shuo had been looking at her, and turned back curiously and asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Ye Shuo shook his head: "Why did you agree to her all of a sudden?"

Qi Lan's expression was blank: "Why didn't you agree to her? Don't we just need two medicine cauldrons? It's already evening, and there's not much time left before dark, so naturally we have to speed up."

Ye Shuo was speechless at this moment. Since Qi Lan had said so, he no longer insisted on anything.

Chong Shuyao came up with a smile: "That's right. Those two medicine cauldrons are No. 50 and No. 51. Go quickly. If you go late, someone might snatch them away."

After saying that, she twisted her waist as thin as a willow branch and left the alchemy.

"No. 50 and No. 51..." Qi Lan searched for the number on the medicine cauldron in the crowded alchemy pharmacy.

Ye Shuo still felt very strange. Not to mention why Qi Lan, who had always been extremely hostile and disgusted with Chong Shuyao, suddenly agreed to accept her help. How could Chong Shuyao suddenly be so kind and come to help them?

"Found it!" While Ye Shuo was still thinking, Qi Lan pulled Ye Shuo over.

"Why are you two?" The person who spoke was a little girl. She was standing between two medicine cauldrons. She was young and short, and she looked so awkward among a bunch of alchemists.

"It's actually you two." The little girl pursed her lips, seeming a little unhappy.

"My sister asked me to keep these two positions. I thought they were reserved for Sister Lin and Brother Yunfeng. Sigh... I really don't know what is going on in my sister's head."

But she complained, and honestly gave up the two medicine cauldrons to Ye Shuo and Qi Lan, but before leaving, she still glared at them angrily.

"Zhou Linglang..." These three words appeared in Qi Lan's slow thinking.

Zhou Linglang is the name of the girl. She is also Chi Yunshi's apprentice and Chong Shuyao's junior sister.

She is a girl who can truly be called a genius.

Zhou Linglang is twelve years old this year. In terms of age, she is indeed very young, but as an alchemist, her qualifications are old enough.

At the age of two, when other girls were just starting to learn to read, she could already identify various medicinal ingredients, classify them into categories and grades. Moreover, she had an amazing memory that was beyond ordinary people, and she could never forget all the recipes.

At the age of four, when Zhou Linglang was not as advanced as an ordinary medicine cauldron, she was able to complete the refining of third-grade elixirs without ever failing.

When she was five years old, she became Chi Yunshi's disciple, and from then on she showed her talent in the Alchemist Guild.

Now seven years have passed, and the talented girl from back then has not disappeared from the crowd, but has become even more dazzling.

But even so, Zhou Linglang still lost to Qi Lan in the last alchemist competition.

In that rematch, Zhou Linglang tried to win by a narrow margin and refined the Taiyin Soul-Reviving Evil Pill, but she did not expect that the refining process of the Taiyin Soul-Reviving Evil Pill was too harsh, and her body was ultimately unable to withstand the pressure of the refining process.

The Taiyin Soul-Reviving Evil Pill backfired on my true energy, and I couldn't even advance to the finals.

Chi Yunshi naturally couldn't accept such a result. He almost vented all his anger on Master Yun Xing. He couldn't stand it that Master Yun

Beyond his apprentice's ability, he even regarded Master Yunxing as a thorn in his side.

Ye Shuo looked at Zhou Linglang's leaving figure and said with emotion: "Becoming an alchemist at such a young age is really amazing!"

Qi Lan on the side did not answer anything. Instead, he seemed to have fallen into a strange mental chaos.

Why did Zhou Linglang suddenly appear? And he seemed to be having some kind of communication with her.

But what are they talking about? Qi Lan looked very confused.

"Qi Lan, what's wrong with you?" Ye Shuo found that Qi Lan's movements were a bit awkward.

"Nothing, time is tight, let's start quickly." Qi Lan's behavior seemed very normal again. He signaled to Ye Shuo to take out the Danyang King Bone Stone and he was going to start refining the medicine.

The next two people began to refine medicine in the medicine cauldron in front of each other. As a result, there was not much communication between them, and Qi Lan did not show any abnormality.

Ye Shuo was even more focused on his original grilled fish pill.

It is easy to say that grilling fish is easy, but how to make grilled fish into edible ingredients the size of a pill, with original flavor, can be stored for a long time and is not easy to perish, and most importantly, it can drive away hunger instantly. This is a very difficult task.

Difficult question.

"No wonder no one has invented such an easy-to-carry food elixir for so long." Ye Shuo scratched his head, suddenly feeling that he had no idea how to start.

Time passes minute by minute, and less than an hour can be said to have passed in an instant.

There was a dull sound outside the alchemy from far to near, but the sound was a huge rumbling bell.

The sound of the bell seemed to contain extremely powerful soul power. Ye Shuo only felt his brain was slightly dizzy and uncomfortable, but it did not have a deep impact.

The other alchemists were all dizzy by the sound of the bell, "It's so noisy." The alchemists said, and they couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

Then the host's voice came, "Everyone, the time is up, how are you doing?" As his words sounded, the roof and outer walls of the alchemy began to gradually become transparent. It was hazy at first.

, then like a layer of gauze, finally turned into smoke and disappeared.

Suddenly, the alchemists were all in an open-air square, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to be moving. The alchemists watched the surrounding scenery constantly changing. When the judges' podium appeared in front of everyone, they felt such a sense of movement under their feet.

before disappearing.

It turns out that the feeling of movement under the feet is not an illusion, but that this piece of land has been completely moved in front of the judges' rostrum. At this time, eight huge lights are on in front of the judges' rostrum, illuminating the entire venue as if

daytime.

The host standing in the middle of the podium said again: "Don't worry, everyone, and those of you who haven't finished refining the elixir don't need to worry either. There is no need to make any more remedies, because those of you who haven't finished it have all been eliminated!

La la la!" The host's tone seemed particularly gloating.

"So, all the alchemists who have not yet had time to complete the refining, as well as those who have failed in refining, you can leave here! You can leave without sending me away," the host said briskly.

This host deserves a beating! Ye Shuo frowned. Fortunately, his grilled fish recipe was finally completed at the last moment. Although he didn't know whether it was considered a success or a failure.

In order to compress the grilled fish to the size of a fingernail, he even used fusion spiritual skills. Originally it was just to compress the grilled fish, but the strong spiritual pressure almost crushed his medicine cauldron, but in the end, luckily

The remedy was successful, the medicine cauldron was not damaged, and the grilled fish pill was successfully completed. However, in order to prevent it from rotting easily, Ye Shuo added a bunch of preservatives to it.

The preservative was sorbic acid extracted from the kimchi and braised vegetables he stored in the storage ring. If he hadn't been force-fed a lot of knowledge about refining medicine that day, he wouldn't have known that all the kimchi and braised vegetables contained

It's a preservative.

Ye Shuo felt very uneasy that eating such a bunch of preservatives would kill people, but he couldn't control that much now, and it was impossible for the judges to eat it themselves to test the medicine. Ye Shuo comforted himself in his heart.

Having finished his grilled fish recipe, Ye Shuo couldn't help but worry about Qi Lan.

He poked his head out to look at Qi Lan beside him, and Qi Lan happened to poke his head out as well.

Qi Lan looked like he was exhausted, sweating profusely, and almost unsteady on his feet. He glanced at Ye Shuo and made a victory gesture.

Then he sat down on the ground, "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted." He kept repeating, and suddenly said: "Brother, I was infected by you. I refined a very strange

The elixir. Even I don’t know what its uses are.”

"You were infected by me...Okay, then what exactly did you refine?" Ye Shuo suddenly became curious when he heard what Qi Lan said.

"Um... I don't know what to call it..." Qi Lan thought for a moment, "Then let's call it Danyang King Bone Stone Fifty Times the Effect."

"This name... is too casual to get!" Ye Shuo was speechless. Such a name... really is the first disciple of Master Yun Xing. Even the naming style is exactly the same, no better than the "immediately"

Let you become a qualified alchemist”!

"The remaining alchemists who have finished refining the elixir, please pay attention." The host's voice began to sound again, "Don't be too happy." He still sounded so unbeatable, "What's next?

This is the time to truly test you." His figure suddenly jumped into the air and flew into the sky of the area where the alchemists were.

Then the host waved his long sleeves, and the elixirs refined by the alchemists suddenly flew towards him. However, the flying elixirs did not hit him. On the contrary, there seemed to be an invisible pulling force on the host's body.

, those elixirs were suspended in the air around him, forming a circle. Following the host's movements, they lined up one by one and flew to the judges' podium in turn.

"It seems that there are not many successful people?" The host looked at the pills flying past him one after another, "Then it's time for the judges to judge. Please wait patiently. The judges will sometimes ask you questions, so please come as soon as possible

Be prepared." After saying this, the host flew down and hid in the rostrum.

As soon as the host left, the audience immediately started whispering.

Some alchemists are full of confidence in the elixirs they refine, but some do not have much confidence, such as Ye Shuo and Qi Lan.

The two of them had a brief exchange with each other, and they both felt that they were doomed in this audition, "Senior brother, it's not the grilled fish pill I mentioned about you, it was just a joke." Qi Lan shook his head.

"Qi Lan, I originally placed my hope of victory on you. You actually made a 'Danyang King Bone Stone with fifty times the efficacy'. Do you think Master will faint from our anger now?"
