'Huh, as expected, your ghost family still has other plans, but you and I are not stupid. Until now, I have not agreed to my conditions, so naturally I have to guard against you. Since I am the one who makes the rules, can I still imagine that I will still give them to you?
A bigger bargain. This is because you, the ghost family, betrayed me first, so don’t blame me for being cruel in the future.
Although this young man from the Yao family is a genius in refining medicine, his brain is not very good. Hehe.'
Thinking with a sneer in his heart, Xuan Hong's eyes then turned to the large package where the materials were being "extracted" one by one, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
At this moment, everyone had collected all the materials, and when Zuo Feng arrived, there was only the last package of materials left, and he didn't even have the possibility to choose.
The package was slowly opened, and all the materials were laid flat on the stone platform. Then Zuo Feng inspected the materials and separated them according to type.
Everyone else's materials have been taken out a long time ago and placed on the stone platform. Most of the materials they got can be seen clearly at a glance.
I saw that the five beast cores of different colors on the painter's side were only about second-grade in quality, but the flame crystals were all high-grade. The beast cores on the ghost's side were of third-grade quality, but the flame crystals were all mid-grade.
The alchemists from the Su family and Wang family around him, as well as the materials obtained by Duan Yueyao, have already reached the fourth level of beast core, and the flame crystal is also at the middle level.
His eyes turned to the stone platform in front of him again. The fifth-level beast core and hundreds of low-grade flame crystals were piled together like a hill. The quality of other medicinal materials was almost the same, but when Zuo Feng looked at it, his eyes had gradually changed.
It's getting colder.
The higher the quality of the beast core, the stronger it will be, and the more difficult it will be to completely temper and melt it. In this way, it will be very easy for the painter to handle the beast core, but it will be slightly more difficult for the ghost family.
A little bit, people from other families have even greater difficulties.
What I have here is actually a fifth-level beast core, which is already equivalent to the level of a strong human being in the Qi-receiving stage. The beast core of such a level is a material that can only be used to refine mid-grade or high-grade pills. Now it is only for refining.
A low-grade pill, Crazy Demon Pill, gave him such a high-level beast core, which was clearly a deliberate attempt to embarrass himself.
If this is the first method to kick Zuofeng out, then the difference in the flame crystal is Xuan Hong's second method.
The higher the quality of the flame crystal, the stronger the flame power it can release after being activated. Of course, the higher the spiritual energy consumed will be. However, low-quality flame crystals also need to consume spiritual energy. If the medicine is also refined, low-level flame crystals will cost more.
The aura will be more, because new flame crystals need to be constantly replaced.
Every time a new flame crystal is activated, it is also the time when the most spiritual energy is consumed. That is to ignite it from a state where there is no flame power at all. If a flame crystal is used continuously, it will be refining.
Continuously delivering spiritual energy during the process consumes less spiritual energy than constant replacement.
Nowadays, except for the painter, everyone else is using mid-grade flame crystals. Of course, this will cause a big loss, but at least it makes sense. But now he only has low-grade flame crystals in front of him, so Zuo Feng is not just suffering a small loss.
Already.
"May I ask, Sir, why some people get high-grade flame crystals, some get mid-grade ones, and only I get low-grade flame crystals."
Seeing this scene, Zuo Feng felt indignant but tried his best to restrain himself and spoke loudly. If his anger broke out on the spot, the former young man from the Yao family would be the best example, and Zuo Feng would certainly not be stupid enough to confront him head-on.
Xuan Hong glanced at Zuo Feng coldly and said flatly: "The materials for this medicine selection competition have just been prepared in the past few days, because the materials required at one time are too huge and cannot be gathered together at once. That's a lot.
If this little friend Shen feels that this competition is unfair, you can give up the competition voluntarily, I don't mind."
When Xuan Hong said these words, people around him immediately started talking. Because some people stood far away, not everyone could clearly see what materials the participants in the competition received.
Now that they heard Zuo Feng's "protest", everyone immediately understood. Zuo Feng's objection was not unreasonable, and Xuan Hong's words seemed to be deliberately deceiving. Only these ten people in the dignified Xuanwu Empire The materials for the drug selection competition were not complete, but some low-grade flame crystals were used to fool them, which was obviously unjustifiable.
But although everyone could see it clearly, no one really said anything for Zuo Feng, including the heads of the three families of King Yaosu, who didn't say much at this time, let alone the onlookers.
After all, this is not the competition selection ceremony. The people on the high platform were already fighting at that time, so it would be okay for them to cheer loudly below. Now it is a competition for drug selection. If anyone really dares to make a loud noise, he will be directly Being thrown into an imperial prison is considered an easy thing.
After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Feng spoke again: "Since the Lord of the Kingdom cannot produce the Flame Crystal, I will use the Flame Crystal I brought. This should not be considered a violation. After all, they are all the same Flame Crystal."
Xuan Hong curled his lips slightly and said coldly: "Are you kidding? Today's selection of medicines is very important to the Xuanwu Empire. All materials are prepared by the empire. Only in this way can the fairness of this competition be demonstrated. You How can we guarantee that the materials we brought have not been tampered with? Huh?"
Xuan Hong was really brave enough to target Zuo Feng in this way, and he actually had the nerve to suppress Zuo Feng in the name of "fairness".
Although there was no loud noise, after all, many people had received "favor" from Zuo Feng. At this time, they started talking one after another, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
Seeing that the other family heads had no intention of speaking, the head of the Yao family, Yaozhuang, who had a relatively good relationship with Zuo Feng among the crowd, pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Since the Lord is doing this for the sake of fairness, then the materials in Zuo Feng's hands are obviously very different from others. In this way, Zuo Feng has no chance at all. How can we talk about fairness? What will be the outcome of this competition? To convince everyone in the world, is this what I, Xuanwu, do."
The representative sent by the Yao family had lost his qualifications, and Yaozhuang had a good relationship with Zuo Feng, so he spoke out rightly at this time.
Xuan Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes. Even the preparation before him was already a strategy that he had racked his brains to come up with.
He can neither make it too obvious, nor at the same time give the painter and ghost master an advantage. The scale is also difficult to grasp.
But after all, he is the leader of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and he cannot act too dirty. If he takes the power back into his hands again in the future, he will often be criticized for what happened today. This is a result he does not want to see.
While he was pondering, suddenly a voice came from behind him, and that voice came from Xuan Mie.
"Father, let them exchange on their own."
Xuan Hong, who had no idea how to deal with it, raised his eyebrows and immediately said loudly: "Well, this Shen Feng needs fairness, so I will give you a fair chance. There are only these materials for selecting medicine for this competition. If other participants are If people are willing to exchange the materials in my hands for them, I will never interfere. This is my final concession."
As soon as these words came out, everyone inside and outside the venue suddenly fell silent. As a result, Xuan Hong threw the question back to everyone participating in the competition.
Of the nine people left in the field at this time, everyone was of course motivated by the title of Yaozi and the Crystal of the Imperial Formation. Who would be stupid enough to kill Zuo Feng's bunch of "unlucky" people? The materials were exchanged, but then I lost the opportunity.
The two painters, Hua Zheng and Hua Qi, had been watching everything happening in front of them quietly, with a hint of ridicule in their eyes.
Hua Zheng had a grudge against Zuo Feng. When he was in the trading shop, he was the one who insisted on killing Zuo Feng and wanted to get rid of Zuo Feng. Seeing this scene, he even had a look of ridicule on his face.
The enmity between Hua Qi and Zuo Feng is even deeper. If it were not for his identity, he might have directly teased the other person.
Several other contestants from super aristocratic families, and even Duan Yueyao, did not say anything, but just lowered their heads in silence.
Faced with such a situation, the anger in Zuo Feng's heart was completely ignited, and at the same time, his stubborn character was suddenly aroused.
Zuo Feng puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Okay, I, Shen Feng, will use these materials to refine the crazy pills today. However, the rules you just said have already been set. If the pills I refine with these materials are of high quality, The best thing is whether I win."
Zuo Feng's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they were not excessive at all. At least Xuan Hong had no excuse to kick him out directly.
The corner of Xuan Hong's mouth twitched slightly, but then he nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the rules are the rules. Since they are the rules set by me, the king, as long as you can refine the highest quality pills, natural medicine The title is yours, but... hum."
At this time, people in the square had begun to secretly shake their heads. Everyone knew what Xuan Hong had not finished saying. Not to mention that Zuo Feng was able to refine the highest quality Crazy Demon Pills. It was almost impossible to persist until the refining was completed. .
Everyone was not optimistic about Zuo Feng at this time. Only two people present showed a smile. Chu Zhao and Chu Nan, father and son, stood in the crowd and their eyes fell on Zuo Feng's slightly thin back. There is almost the same look of anticipation in his eyes.
Xuan Hong was too lazy to look at Zuo Feng anymore, but waved his hand and said: "Since everyone has no objections, the final competition for drug selection will officially begin."
When Xuan Hong's voice fell, everyone except Zuo Feng quickly threw the flame crystals in front of them into the medicine cauldron. In the minds of these people, Zuo Feng was actually eliminated.
