Alchemy is a compulsory course for every disciple. After everyone came to their own cauldron, Mr. Meng glanced across the audience and said in a deep voice: "Everyone should have gotten the herbs they wanted yesterday. Today we have an alchemy competition."
The time is three hours, and the elixirs refined will be judged by the elders. In the end, the top three will receive different rewards. I hope everyone can refine the elixirs they want."
"The competition officially begins!"
Alchemy is very particular, not only the requirements for the cauldron, but also the control of the fire is extremely strict. The most important point is the integration of the human cauldron.
After the elixir refining began, everyone put the herbs in the furnace and immediately lit a fire to cook. This process was very long, and the internal energy had to control the size of the flame. Make sure not to be too hasty or too slow.
Chen Qiu looked at the dark furnace cauldron in front of him that had been tempered for thousands of times. In the middle, there was a unique pattern of the Phoenix Pavilion, which was a phoenix. It was lifelike, especially the eyes, which seemed to be alive in front of his eyes.
He did not hurriedly put the herbs into the cauldron like others, but first checked the condition of the cauldron to ensure that he would not cause damage to the cauldron due to operations during the alchemy process.
After making sure that there was no problem with the furnace cauldron, Chen Qiu calmly put the herbs into the furnace cauldron. After lighting a fire, he used his inner strength to stir the flames to slowly boil the herbs. Compared with others, Chen Qiu
Qiu's control over flames is more subtle and detailed. At the same time, when controlling the flames, he can also observe the refining status of the herbs in the furnace, just like strolling in the courtyard without the slightest sense of strenuousness. This also made several spectators watch the game.
The elders were all interested, and they all looked at Ye Qingcheng. Everyone knew that Chen Qiu was hers.
"Elder Ye, this disciple named Chen Qiu is yours, right? His alchemy techniques are not like those of a novice."
"That's right, that state of ease is something that even an old guy like me wouldn't dare to compare with."
"It's no wonder he is one of Elder Ye's people! No wonder he was specially recruited. It turns out he has talent in alchemy."
Ye Qingcheng's eyes were indifferent. She observed the herbs used by Chen Qiu and soon learned that what Chen Qiu was refining was Taibai Dan. This is a medicine that can heal internal injuries in the body, but it is rarely seen on the market anymore because
There are too many elixirs that are much better than Taibai Dan. She can't figure out why Chen Qiu wants to refine this. Chen Qiu used to be very bold and would often burn himself to disgrace while refining elixirs.
He likes to challenge difficult things, and sometimes even Master Shen Changsheng doesn't dare to try the refined elixirs easily. This kid will steal the herbs in the middle of the night and refine them himself.
Could it be for the sake of safety? Ye Qingcheng was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and felt that he shouldn't. If Chen Qiu really wanted to keep a low profile, he could not participate in this alchemy competition. After all, he was new here and had never participated in an alchemy class before. Even if he didn't participate, it would be okay.
What people say.
Could it be that Chen Qiu has other plans?
With doubts in his heart, Ye Qingcheng stared at Chen Qiu. Unexpectedly, this guy seemed to feel his gaze. He raised his head and smiled stupidly at himself.
There were so many furnaces and cauldrons refining elixirs at the same time. After a while, bursts of unique aroma of herbs floated out from the alchemy furnaces, which was refreshing.
And Zhao Tianming was also working on it in full swing. He looked at Chen Qiu from time to time. When he saw Chen Qiu's proficient alchemy skills, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked in surprise: "Brother Chen, you can actually make alchemy."
?”
Chen Qiu's eyes were indifferent and he said: "I know a little bit."
"You don't seem to know a thing or two." Zhao Tianming said a little depressed: "The technique is very skilled, and the fire control is very good. Don't tell me that you are a novice and treat your brother as a fool, right?"
Chen Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "In the past, I did like to make alchemy for a period of time."
Zhao Tianming was a little angry in his heart. He felt that he had been deceived by Chen Qiu. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Then what kind of elixir are you going to refine?"
"Me?" Chen Qiu said without hesitation: "Taibai Dan."
"Taibai Pill?" Zhao Tianming racked his brains, and finally found the knowledge about Taibai Pill in the depths of his memory. It is an elixir refined by novices, and is often used as a training tool for new alchemists.
It is even said that some people who do not know the knowledge of alchemy can refine Taibai Dan with a little control of the heat.
Looking at the audience, these warriors, even the least talented ones, can still refine things like the Wind Pill, and the Wind Pill is several levels higher than the Taibai Pill.
This made Zhao Tianming feel much better. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to comfort him: "Taibai Dan is not bad either. Come on, Brother Chen. I hope you can refine it successfully."
As time passed, the contestants present gradually entered a state of concentration. They did not dare to be distracted and were paying close attention to the changes in the fire and the alchemy furnace.
The dark alchemy furnace also changed at this moment, and was burned red by the raging flames. However, the phoenix logo on the alchemy furnace was even more stunning, as if it really came alive under the blessing of the fire!
More than half an hour later, someone failed, the alchemy furnace exploded, and all the herbs inside were destroyed, and they finally left the show with regret.
Meng Lao persuaded with sincerity, and more and more people began to fail. Some people did not observe the changes in the heat, which caused the alchemy furnace to explode because the temperature was too high. Some people only paid attention to the heat but did not observe the herbs in the furnace. In the end, the herbs
They were all burned to ashes, and some people failed to control their internal energy, resulting in the herbs not being condensed into elixirs at all, and they could only exit with regret.
There are many reasons for failure, but there is only one way to succeed. In the blink of an eye, only half of the people in the originally crowded alchemy venue were left. Those who stayed, so far, are considered to have talents in this area, or usually study.
More serious.
Zhao Tianming carefully mobilized his inner energy and observed Chen Qiu's actions from time to time. He was wondering why he was so flustered after learning that Chen Qiu was refining Taibai Dan.
Pills are also divided into grades one to nine. Taibai Pill is obviously in the ninth grade, while the soul-reviving pill he refined is in the sixth grade. Therefore, even if Chen Qiu refined the Taibai Pill flawlessly,
, but as long as you successfully refine the soul-reviving pill, no matter how good it is, it will not be comparable to the Taibai Pill.
Driven by internal energy, Chen Qiu was always observing the changes in the furnace. The herbs gradually condensed into the shape of elixirs. This was also the most critical moment. He could not tolerate any mistakes. Once he made a mistake, what would happen there?
All previous efforts are wasted.
The originally violent inner energy gradually softened under Chen Qiu's control, and at this time, Ye Qingcheng, who was watching the game, finally realized something was wrong!
