The moment the ashes of the third incense fell off, the soldier standing next to the incense burner immediately shouted loudly.
"Hmph, in this competition, besides Chen Yu, who else will be my opponent?" Qing Yue, who was behind the second prince, had a sneer on her face and looked at Zhou Yuan in the field.
Chen Yu possesses the Danhuo Martial Arts Seal, Qingyue is convinced by the defeat, but Zhou Yuan doesn’t start refining the incense until the last one, and there is simply not enough time.
At this moment, the time was over, and everyone involuntarily looked at Zhou Yuan, wanting to see Zhou Yuan's joke.
As long as you can pretend during the first two sticks of incense, you will be slapped in the face as loudly as you can at this moment.
However, when Zhou Yuan opened the furnace lid, everyone was stunned, including Chen Yu, Qing Yue, and all the princes, their eyes widened.
I saw a beam of precious light rising into the sky from Zhou Yuan's alchemy furnace, dazzling with brilliance.
This was a sign that the elixir was ready. Everyone was surprised. Did Zhou Yuan really refine the elixir at the last moment?
The holy light is exciting, the top of the alchemy furnace is colorful, and the people's hearts are floating when it shines, becoming the most beautiful scenery of the Lantern Festival.
Zhou Yuan had no expression on his face and raised his hand gently. Immediately, several pills rose into the sky from the pill furnace. Each of these pills was like the ancient Nine Turns Golden Pill, surrounded by divine clouds, bright and pure.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The pills fell from the sky and fell into Zhou Yuan's palm. There were five pills in total, all of them emitting brilliant light.
Zhou Yuan immediately turned around, bowed slightly to the four princes on the stage, and said, "Your Highnesses, I have refined a total of five top-quality treasure light pills."
Wow!
Suddenly, there was silence in the venue, and everyone felt that they heard wrongly.
There are five top-grade Baoguang Pills, and not one pill below the top grade. This shows that Zhou Yuan made full use of the medicinal power of each material during the refining process, and not a single bit was wasted.
The higher the quality of the elixir, the fewer impurities it contains. The best elixir is almost pure and flawless.
Qingyue and Chen Yu only refined one and two top-grade Baoguang Dan respectively.
But Zhou Yuan had five top-grade alchemy pieces, which completely surpassed Qingyue and Chen Yu by more than ten blocks. They couldn't compare with them at all. You must know that Zhou Yuan was only an eighth-grade alchemist, but the other two were seventh-grade alchemists.
.
"Hahaha...Brother, I saw it right." The eldest prince on the stage suddenly raised his head and burst out laughing.
As happy as the eldest prince was smiling, the faces of the other princes were so gloomy. None of them thought that they would lose to this useless brother today.
Qingyue and Chen Yu looked even more incredulous that Zhou Yuan, who had been ignored by them, could be so secretive.
Everyone around them felt like they were being slapped in the face. Earlier, they had ridiculed Zhou Yuan for pretending and wanted to slap Zhou Yuan in the face at the last moment, but Zhou Yuan slapped them in the face in turn.
At the same time, the eyes of the four princes towards Zhou Yuan also underwent a huge change at this moment.
From being disdainful before, to now looking hot and appreciative.
A warrior without a martial arts seal only proves that his martial arts is mediocre, but it cannot affect the alchemist.
An amazingly talented alchemist, even if his cultivation level is low, even if he does not have a martial arts seal, as long as his alchemy skills are superb, he can still be admired and admired by countless people, because this profession is inherently rare.
Others admired the quality of these five elixirs, but Zhou Yuan did not take them seriously.
Because he knows that on top of top-quality elixirs, there are even higher-quality elixirs. When the quality of elixirs reaches a certain level, rare elixir patterns will appear.
The eldest prince rarely won this competition. Chen Yu's thoughts changed again, and he went through a complicated ideological struggle in his heart.
The eldest prince is the prince to begin with. As long as he has a little help and recruits some capable people, he will be able to ascend the throne in the future.
Thinking of the change in the second prince's attitude towards him just now, Chen Yu felt uneasy in his heart. Judging from the situation, the second prince already looked down upon him, so he might as well join the eldest prince.
Thoughts whirling rapidly, Chen Yu then raised his hands to the eldest prince and said: "Your Highness, since you have won this competition, Chen Yu will stay by your side to assist you from now on."
"Idiot." After hearing this, the second prince cursed secretly in his heart and no longer had any good impression of Chen Yu.
The third prince and the fourth prince are not stupid either. They will not want such wavering people no matter how good their qualifications are.
Chen Yu bowed, raised his head slightly, and smiled as he waited for the eldest prince's decision.
However, the next moment, the eldest prince said: "Master Chen Yu, it is obvious that although I won the victory, you and I have no fate at all, because I am more optimistic about brother Zhou Yuan than you."
The eldest prince directly rejected Chen Yu's surrender, obviously seeing that Chen Yu was a carefree and scheming person.
Being rejected by the eldest prince, Chen Yu's face suddenly turned livid.
He was a seventh-level alchemist with a fifth-level Danhuo Martial Arts Seal, but he was rejected at this moment. He subconsciously looked at Zhou Yuan with a look of hatred, obviously blaming Zhou Yuan for all the blame.
If Zhou Yuan hadn't stolen his limelight, how could he have been rejected?
There was no other way, so Chen Yu had no choice but to consider other princes. After hesitating again and again, he looked at the second prince with an extremely worried expression, "Second prince, I..."
As soon as Chen Yu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the second prince.
The second prince glanced at Chen Yu and snorted coldly: "Stop it. Anyone who follows this prince must go through layers of screening. They are all candidates with both ability and political integrity. If you are not suitable for me, you should choose someone else."
After saying that, the second prince looked at Zhou Yuan again, his eyes softened, "Brother Zhou Yuan, I can't tell you that you are very good at alchemy."
There is much appreciation for him in his words.
Zhou Yuan remained calm, but Chen Yu's breathing suddenly became stagnant and his face turned pale.
He had offended several princes when he first arrived in the imperial capital, so his life would probably not be easy in the future.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu bowed again and looked at the third and fourth princes.
"Go, go, the rubbish that eldest brother and second brother don't want, I don't want it either." The fourth prince waved his hands directly, not even looking at you at Chen Yu, but also looked at Zhou Yuan, "Brother Zhou Yuan, have you considered following
Who is it?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Chen Yu, who used to be like a star holding the moon, is now like a mouse crossing the street and wants nothing from anyone.
On the contrary, Zhou Yuan, who was not favored before, has now become a popular one.
The third prince blinked, and he was more optimistic about Zhou Yuan, but he already had Xiao Yang by his side, and Xiao Yang had a grudge against Zhou Yuan, so he knew right from wrong, and it was impossible to recruit Zhou Yuan again, otherwise it would be easy to cause internal strife, so
At this moment, he was the only one looking at Chen Yu.
As long as he possesses the martial arts seal and has outstanding qualifications, his third prince will accept almost anyone who comes to him.
"Chen Yu, please stay with me from now on." The third prince said.
Hearing this, Chen Yu was immediately overjoyed and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation."
He eventually joined the service of the third prince.
At this moment, the other three princes were staring at Zhou Yuan with burning eyes.
Zhou Yuan was sneering in his heart. Previously, these princes looked down on him, but now they are trying to recruit him. How is the character of these princes any different from the wavering Chen Yu?
