Chapter seven hundred and ninety fifth speculation
On the alchemy field.
However, Luo Chen didn't know what Shangguan Fei'er was thinking. He was concentrating on integrating the elixir at the moment.
But while he was busy working like this, there was a popping sound from behind, and then a burnt smell filled the alchemy field.
Hearing this sound and smelling this smell, Luo Chen certainly knew what was going on. It must have been broken!
Luo Chen didn't pay attention to this. There were many junior alchemists who had just entered the alchemy way behind him. It was not surprising that they failed in their refining.
However, the scene that happened next made Luo Chen look a little sideways.
Just as the "Puff" sound was heard from behind, there were five people on Luo Chen's left front and right side, and the pill furnaces were vibrating one after another, and black smoke was rising, indicating that the refining had failed.
Seeing this, Luo Chen, who was fusing the elixir, looked suspiciously.
The people in the first two rows are all intermediate alchemists! It would be understandable if one or two people failed at refining the pill for the first time because they were not familiar with it, but it would be a bit unusual for five people to fail at the same time.
And this scene also shocked the old guys on the viewing platform.
"Eh? What's going on? Why did five people mess up at the same time?"
An old guy with a round face made a surprised sound.
"What else can be done? Maybe these boys didn't take these second-grade elixirs to heart and were careless!"
Qingzhu stroked his beard and shook his head.
"Yes, these boys were careless before, but they were careless! But there will be two more opportunities later, so it's not a big deal!"
Everyone nodded and agreed with Qingzhu's point of view.
However, the next scene made everyone dumbfounded.
After those five people, the sound of "Puff-Puff" explosions in the alchemy field began to ebb and flow.
In just a moment, the place was filled with black smoke and a burning smell. Everyone, without exception, was in a panic, even Lin Xueyi.
As soon as this scene came out, there was an uproar all around:
"What's going on? Why did everything fail?"
"That's right! These are nearly three thousand alchemists. How could they all fail? Are they all fakes?"
"What are you thinking about? There must be something wrong!"
There was an uproar of people all around, and everyone looked at the alchemists on the field and started talking.
On the viewing platform.
Seeing this scene, the stage fell silent, and many old guys looked at the audience with wide eyes in astonishment.
After being stunned for two seconds, Master Qingzhu shook his head and looked back, looked at Jingyue sitting in front of him, and said with a wry smile:
"Every time there is a Qingdan Competition, the test questions from the King of Dan City are surprising. This time, I was stunned! Elder Jingyue, can you help me clarify my doubts? Where is the test point this time? Dan
Prescription? Or medicinal materials?"
"What do you mean? Old man Qingzhu, do you think the problem is with the elixirs and medicinal materials?"
As soon as Qingzhu's voice fell, before Jingyue could speak, the round-faced old man on the side looked at Qingzhu.
At this time, other people on the stage also withdrew their gazes and looked at Qingzhu doubtfully.
They were sitting on the stage and were not allowed to release their soul power to explore the situation in the alchemy field, so they were full of doubts at the moment.
Qingzhu shook his head and said with a smile:
"All the alchemists have failed, which proves that it is not a human problem, it can only be caused by the elixirs and medicinal materials!"
"Yes, that's exactly what it is!"
Next to him, Gu Beizhi nodded.
Seeing Han Chen's failure, Gu Beizhi knew that the matter was not that simple, so he also looked at Jingyue and frowned:
"Elder Jingyue, can you help us clear up our doubts?"
"hehe!"
With a warm laugh, Jingyue turned her head to face the many eyes, shook her head and said:
"It's pointless to say it, so please just read on!"
After saying that, Jingyue turned back and continued to look at the audience with interest.
Seeing this, everyone was suspicious, but they didn't ask any more questions. Instead, they all frowned and looked at the alchemy field.
On the alchemy field.
"What's going on? You've been practicing well and you're about to become a pill. Why is black smoke suddenly coming out?"
Su Mo looked confused and turned to look at Lin Xueyi and Han Chen.
Lin Xueyi ignored Su Mo, but looked at the alchemy furnace with a frown on her cute face and pondered for a while.
Han Chen didn't answer Su Mo's words. He glanced at Luo Chen next to him. When he saw Luo Chen frowning, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes showed thoughts.
Next to him, Luo Chen was rubbing a ball of black powder with his right index finger and thumb, his eyes kept thinking.
Just now, when he was controlling the essence of all the medicinal materials and preparing to condense it into an elixir, black smoke suddenly appeared from inside the elixir, causing the alchemy to fail.
Luo Chen was very clear that he had not made a mistake. Every step he took was based on the recipe, and there was no mistake at all.
But despite this, why did the refining fail?
"Everyone failed to refine, which means it's not a human problem. Then there's only..."
Thinking in his heart, Luo Chen raised his eyelids and looked at the jade slips and medicinal materials on the stone platform next to him.
Without hesitation, Luo Chen picked up the jade slip and read the elixir prescription on it carefully.
Now there are only two ingredients left to refine the muscle-stimulating pill, and something went wrong again. If the problem is not found out, Luo Chen will not dare to continue refining it. Otherwise, if the two ingredients are used up and the pill is not refined, then he will
About to be eliminated!
There were others like Luo Chen. Almost all the intermediate alchemists in the first two rows stopped refining alchemy and were checking the jade slips and medicinal materials. Some even rummaged through the alchemy furnace in order to find out the problem.
Of course, there are also people with iron heads.
Many alchemists later started refining the second or third batch of medicinal materials after finding no problems.
Especially those junior alchemists who can only refine first-grade elixirs!
The happiest people at this time are they. Anyway, they can't produce the second-grade elixir. Seeing the whole army annihilated, let alone gloating about it, they don't care about it at the moment and only use the medicinal materials of the Myogenic Pill.
After practicing your skills, after wasting three portions of medicinal materials, you take the new elixir recipe you got, pat your butt and leave.
So, in the following time, the sound of 'Puff' kept ringing out on the field. Not surprisingly, no one succeeded in making the Pill.
What's more, when three doses of medicinal materials are used up, the crystal on the platform lights up in red, and it is regrettable to leave the stage.
As time goes by, half of the hourglass on the viewing platform has disappeared.
At this moment, the intermediate alchemists in the first two rows could no longer hold their breath, and someone had already begun to refine the second batch of medicinal materials.
However, Luo Chen, Lin Xueyi, Su Mo and Han Chen remained still, thinking hard there.
"What's going on? What's the problem?"
Looking at the elixir in his hand, Luo Chen's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
He didn't see any problem with the prescription. The medicinal materials were all listed on the prescription, so there was no problem. Now Luo Chen was starting to wonder if it was really a human problem.
But soon, Luo Chen threw away this idea, and after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head:
"No, the assessment time for this round is only half an hour. If there is a problem with Danfang, half an hour will definitely not be calculated. It is impossible for Danwang City to not know this, and it is impossible for Danwang City to compete with Qingdan.
If it ends in the first round, that means Danfang is fine!"
"Exclude the people and the elixirs, and only the medicinal materials remain!"
Luo Chen's eyes gradually brightened and he began to rummage through the medicinal materials on the stone table.
There are a total of twelve kinds of medicinal materials, two main herbs and ten auxiliary herbs, all of which are listed in the elixir.
Luo Chen knew that since there was no problem with the elixir, there would be no problem with the types of medicinal materials to be used. The problem could only arise in the medicinal materials themselves.
With his thoughts in mind, Luo Chen began to pick up some of the twelve medicinal materials, observed them carefully, and then put them in his mouth to taste.
"Mycopodium, no problem, it's a good product!"
"The blood-tonifying leaves are authentic! They are not soaked in dog blood!"
"..."
"Huang Gen, good stuff...huh?"
Just as he was about to put down a medicinal plant in his hand, Luo Chen suddenly looked confused and stopped.
