"Brother Jiang, what are you doing here as a disciple?"
On the high platform, Sheriff Yan looked at Jiang Yang in confusion and said, "Why hasn't he started refining the elixir yet? I see that others have already refined it halfway!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yang didn't know what to say.
How does he know why Shangguan Feng hasn't started yet...
Maybe this kid is thinking about life, such as:
'Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?'
These are all things that can happen.
Jiang Yang was silent for a moment, and Zhao Juan answered for him, "Go back to Yue... Shangguanfeng may still be thinking about what to report to the county governor."
"Although there is no limit to the elixir recipe in this competition, the medicinal materials on everyone's table are exactly the same. But you have to think carefully about how to combine them to refine a higher-grade elixir!"
There is nothing wrong with this answer!
Simply perfect!
Yes, this last contest.
Although there are no restrictions on the elixir recipe, the actual medicinal materials are the same for everyone.
The organizers also have ulterior motives for thinking this way.
First of all, for the sake of fairness, everyone will not get different medicinal materials, and others will say it later and say it is unfair.
Secondly, this can test the level of each contestant to the maximum extent.
Several medicinal materials on the stage have been carefully selected by several big bosses.
There are many combinations to choose from.
It can not only refine ninth-grade elixirs that are just beginning, but also can refine sixth-grade elixirs that are among the middle-grade ones.
It’s up to the player’s choice!
…
His eyes turned back to the huge competition arena.
The eight winning disciples from each sect lined up neatly in two rows.
There are four people in each row, several feet apart.
It has been half a stick of incense before the referee announced the start of the game.
Several participating disciples have already mentally selected the elixir they want to refine and have begun the initial stage of smelting the medicinal materials.
With the help of the flames generated by the medicinal cauldron and zhenqi, the medicinal materials kept rolling in the alchemy cauldron and quickly turned into the powder or liquid state they needed.
Just when everyone's attention was focused on their own medicine cauldron.
"Bang--"
Suddenly there was a muffled sound on the field.
The sound attracted the attention of tens of thousands of spectators.
Everyone stood up in unison, stretched their heads forward, and looked for the sound.
Everyone wanted to find out and see what happened.
"It's impossible. There is no problem in the refining process of the medicinal materials. The temperature, heat, time, everything is all right. I control it almost perfectly... How could the cauldron explode?"
On the field, the first disciple from the left in the second row was muttering to himself, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
On the operating table in front of him, the medicine cauldron with two ears and four legs had a crack in the middle. The flames in the medicine cauldron were completely extinguished the moment he finished speaking. There was still incompletely refined medicine in the medicine cauldron.
medicinal materials.
He exploded!
Failed!
Some people are sad, some are sad, and some people are... secretly happy.
The contestants who were still on the stage glanced at him without sympathy.
Instead, they raised the corners of their mouths, each with their own thoughts.
He exploded!
Failed!
That means that everyone has one less competitor!
How can this not make people happy?
"Bang bang..."
At this moment, two more sounds of exploding cauldrons were heard in the distance.
This time the sound was louder and the movement louder than before.
Shangguan Fengqing couldn't help but turn his head and look, the players who exploded were the two unlucky guys behind him.
Seeing the annoyed expressions of these two contestants, Shangguan Feng shook his head slightly and said venomously... Hey, congratulations to both of you for bringing home the big gift package. Go slowly, don't give it away.
"Bang--"
There was another sound of exploding cauldron.
No matter how stupid Shangguan Feng was, he realized at this moment that something was wrong.
Exploding cauldrons is not common in the process of alchemy. How come in a game, four players exploded cauldrons one after another?
They are only a quarter of an hour apart.
It's really weird.
"Something's wrong..."
Shangguan Feng frowned, picked up the medicine cauldron with two ears and four legs in front of him and examined it...
The material is ordinary, the workmanship is rough, and it has no aesthetic appeal. It is even worse than my urinal.
Shangguan Feng gave a brief evaluation of the medicinal cauldron provided by the organizer.
If the organizer knew about it, he would be disqualified.
Although the medicine cauldron is broken, there is no problem.
That is...
Shangguanfeng turned his attention to the medicinal materials and examined them carefully.
After a while, he picked up a light blue herb that resembled a morning glory from among the many medicinal materials. Its scientific name was Stephanotis herb.
This herb is not worthy of its name and is not precious.
The reason why it is called Stephanotis grass is that it is essential in the refining process of many elixirs, and it is also the one with the highest utilization rate.
It is almost always used when refining low-level elixirs.
The more demand there is, the more money those selling herbs will make.
A little can make a lot of money. Some people once made a fortune selling this kind of medicinal herb.
Therefore, it is named Qianjincao.
Shangguanfeng put the grass between his nose and smelled it.
Then he used his fingers to twist the texture of the leaves.
Then, in front of a large audience, with tens of thousands of spectators watching!
He threw the steppegrass out of his console, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it hard.
The audience was greatly puzzled and a little confused.
What is this doing?
At the same time, on the high platform.
"Haha, this master disciple of Head Jiang is indeed extraordinary. He easily saw through the tricks of us old men..."
An old man with gray hair stroked his long beard under his chin and sighed leisurely.
After finishing, he faced Sheriff Yan and did not call him "Master Sheriff", but said directly: "Old Yan, weren't you still wondering why Shangguan Feng didn't start quickly? This is the answer!"
Sheriff Yan was stunned, frowning and thinking for a moment.
I soon figured out why!
Just now, those contestants who exploded did not explode because of their own mistakes, but fell into the scheme of these old guys who set the test questions.
The medicinal materials on the player's operating table were tampered with in advance!
The purpose is to test the player's attentiveness.
If a contestant does not check carefully before making an elixir and mistakenly puts the problematic stephania into the cauldron, the chance of the cauldron exploding is 100%.
"Those little guys, I can only say that they are not careful enough and cannot blame others." The old man sighed, without any pity.
After taking a sip of tea, he looked to Jiang Yang to one side: "It's Master Jiang, this master disciple, who impressed us all with admiration..."
"I think Shangguanfeng must have noticed it since he was not in a hurry to start refining alchemy."
"Master Jiang, you have taught a good disciple."
"Such patience is rare among others. When they all started refining elixirs, only Shangguan Feng remained unmoved. This is evident in his mentality."
"Headmaster Jiang teaches well..."
“Not bad, not bad.”
Jiang Yang's cheek muscles twitched, and he was stunned on the spot... If I didn't really know Shangguan Feng, maybe I would have believed the lies of you bad old men.
Also, this is obviously Shangguan Feng's carefulness.
Why can I, the "fake master", get the credit?
I know you bad old men are trying to curry favor with the county governor.
But you don’t want to flatter me like that!
Praise, absolute praise! This chapter has been completed!
