As an alchemist, his understanding of flames is like his understanding of his own body. Although City Lord Lin is not very talented in refining alchemy, after all, he has also been on the road of refining alchemy for decades. There is still some discernment.
The fire energy released from the inconspicuous little medicine furnace not far away instantly attracted his attention. It was not that he had never seen this kind of flame, but that he was very familiar with the energy of this kind of flame. It will only appear when the medicine cauldron is used to refine medicine pills or medicine elixirs of higher quality.
Using such huge fire energy requires at least a medium-grade flame crystal, but the flame crystal is not the key to the problem, but how a small medicine furnace can inspire a flame comparable to a medicine cauldron. And even if ordinary people can inspire such a flame Fire is also something that cannot be controlled.
At this time, the young man named "Chen Feng" had no expression of joy or sorrow on his face, as if he was doing something insignificant. He was not surprised by the flames in the medicine furnace in front of him, which meant that he He has long understood the extraordinary nature of this flame, and this is even the flame he wants to inspire.
What shocked City Lord Lin had just begun. The huge flames that spurted out seemed to be attracted by something. They suddenly shrank back as soon as they appeared at the mouth of the furnace. City Lord Lin's pupils even shrank with the flames. Such a huge flame could be contained at will, he asked himself, even he couldn't do it.
The more high-quality medicines are refined, the flames and equipment used also need to be improved. For example, refining medicinal powders and low-level medicinal liquids requires a medicine furnace, and the flames only need to be stimulated with low-level flame crystals. But refining high-quality medicines requires a furnace. The medicinal liquid and pills require a medicinal cauldron, and the flame crystals must be replaced with medium-grade or even higher quality ones.
The flames inspired by Zuo Feng, just by looking at City Master Lin, he understood that it required a medicinal cauldron and a middle-grade flame crystal to be inspired. Moreover, the fire energy stimulated by the combination of the two could only be stimulated by him. The power of its flames can be used, but it cannot be controlled at will.
This is like sailing in a fast river. You can only stabilize the boat by following the direction of the current. But Zuofeng's hand just now played with such a huge flame, as if it was a miracle that stirred up the wind and rain with one hand. It's so hard to accept.
However, among the people present, only City Master Lin noticed this astonishing scene. The others were all lowering their heads to refine the medicine in their hands.
The flames in front of Zuo Feng quickly retracted into the furnace. It seemed as if nothing had happened just now. And according to City Master Lin's estimation, such a dilapidated medicine furnace should not be able to withstand such a huge fire energy, but that terrifying The flames were indeed suppressed back into the furnace.
Zuo Feng's eyes were half open and half closed at this time. He rolled up all the medicinal materials on the stone table with his hand and threw them into the medicine furnace. Regardless of the exquisiteness of this technique, he just threw the medicinal materials into the medicine house in one go. , City Lord Lin's eyes widened again. This was not refining medicine, it was clearly burning medicinal materials.
But looking at Zuo Feng's well-prepared appearance, he was completely confident. City Lord Lin now wanted to go over and look into the furnace to see what kind of scene there was, but he knew that this was against the rules, no matter who was there No one is allowed to enter the venue to disturb the selection process.
If anyone else wanted to enter the venue at this time, he would try his best to stop them.
At this time, City Master Lin looked gloomy and ugly. Although he had made plans for this competition, he didn't think it would be useful at first. According to their previous plan, Zuo Feng shouldn't have appeared here at all, but
Since he arrived within the stipulated time, he had to act according to the previous plan.
Originally, he was very confident that Zuo Feng would not be able to complete the refining of the medicine this time, but now he felt a little panicked in his heart, as if things had begun to develop gradually and unexpectedly.
The contestants in the square are all refining medicinal materials seriously, and from time to time there will be some weird muffled sounds. Every time such a sound is made, some people will quit the competition in depression, and some people will immediately take their medicine.
The medicinal materials burned in the furnace are quickly poured out and re-refined.
At this moment, a tall and thin middle-aged man slowly walked out of the hall behind City Lord Lin. This middle-aged man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a jade-colored hair crown.
The attire tells you that this person must be of extraordinary status.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, City Lord Lin unconsciously glanced back. A hint of uneasiness flashed through his eyes, but he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Why don't Master Su Lan have tea inside? Such a small person
How could the competition be so judged by you? I will report the results to you later."
Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that the man who had just appeared was very afraid, and he was respectful and did not dare to show any slightness in his words.
But the middle-aged man smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter, I haven't been in charge of competitions in various places for a few years. Since I have the king's destiny this time, I naturally have to take a look for myself. This year's competition is also involved.
It is a major matter for the empire, so I have to pay more attention to it, in case there are any mistakes."
The man named Su Lan had an indifferent expression, and at the end of his speech, he casually glanced at City Lord Lin next to him. This glance seemed to contain many meanings, and City Lord Lin felt that he was about to be seen through by this glance.
He felt guilty secretly, but he said: "The villain naturally knows that this election is very important, and there will be no accidents in this year's election."
The man named Su Lan nodded and said, "So there were surprises in previous years' competitions?"
His words made City Master Lin shudder unconsciously, but the man named Su Lan didn't seem to question him. After speaking, he smiled and turned to look at the square, and did not give any warning to City Master Lin.
opportunity to explain.
City Lord Lin also knew that it was the first time for him to see this man named Su Lan, but he knew how terrifying this man's identity was. The members of the Su family among the three major families of the Xuanwu Empire represented the entire
The highest center of strength of the Xuanwu Empire could be said to be an existence that he could only look up to.
Although the empire will send some people down to supervise every competition, most of them are people one or two levels higher than themselves. And most of the people sent down are just a formality, as long as they give them some
If they are satisfied with the money, they will no longer interfere with the selection.
But who knew that in this year's competition, an important person from the Su family would come down, and even come to a remote Tushan City like theirs? This can be said to be something that has never happened before.
Moreover, Mr. Sulan just arrived this morning, and City Lord Lin could not figure out the reason for his coming this time no matter what method he used. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to bribe this person from the Su family with money, because he could get it
The money given out will not be taken seriously by this person at all.
While he was feeling anxious, suddenly a figure in the square below slowly walked toward the steps. City Lord Lin was slightly startled and couldn't help but look down. When he saw that the person walking over was Zuo Fengzhi, the look on his face
His expression couldn't help but change slightly. Due to Su Lan's presence, he didn't dare to have other emotions, but whispered: "If you want to quit, please leave the competition voluntarily."
Zuo Feng, however, continued to walk forward calmly, but his eyes were full of curiosity on the middle-aged man next to City Lord Lin whom he had met for the first time. From a distance, Zuo Feng could tell that this middle-aged man had an unknown identity.
Low, City Lord Lin was like a docile little white rabbit in front of him.
But what surprised Zuo Feng even more was that this middle-aged man looked ordinary on the surface, but he gave Zuo Feng a vague feeling of danger. That feeling was very weak, but Zuo Feng knew that this man must have something hidden.
If the method of self-cultivation is not very special, it is because it is like wearing some kind of treasure.
While he was thinking to himself, he heard City Master Lin talking to him. Although he and City Master Lin were now at odds with each other, on the surface he still smiled and replied: "I have completed the questions for this competition. I want to
As the first person to finish, I should be able to qualify for promotion."
"Um?"
City Lord Lin made a surprised and confused sound, and at the same time, many of the contestants in the square subconsciously raised their heads and glanced here. However, these people were all refining medicinal powders in their hands, so they did not dare to be too distracted. Although it was very difficult,
He was curious as to why this young man was able to complete the refining so quickly, but he could only try to keep his mind on the medicine furnace in front of him.
City Lord Lin didn't change much on the surface, but a glint of cold light flashed through his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Bring me the medicine powder you refined. I hope you won't be stupid."
Use lies to fool me."
There was no emotion or anger on the face of the middle-aged man in fine clothes. He just glanced at City Lord Lin casually, and then used his energy to look at Zuo Feng in front of him. Zuo Feng calmly raised his head and chest, and talked with the middle-aged man.
The men looked at each other for a moment.
Although the middle-aged man in front of him gave Zuo Feng a very dangerous feeling, Zuo Feng saw a soft smile in his eyes, as if he had some appreciation for himself. Zuo Feng didn't understand why.
Nothing happened, but he still walked up the steps and handed over the jade bottle in his hand.
City Lord Lin gently took the jade bottle. The warm breath of the jade bottle itself when he took it showed that the medicine powder in his hand had indeed been successfully refined.
City Lord Lin turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, and found that he was not looking at him. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Is this medicine powder of yours prepared before? I just used the medicine furnace to make it slightly."
Bring it up after it has been softened, do you think you can hide this trick from me?"
City Lord Lin uncorked the bottle and took a look, then glared at Zuo Feng and shouted coldly. After saying that, he raised the jade bottle and smashed the medicine powder on the steps in the next moment.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man next to City Lord Lin suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
