Perhaps because Shanglin Garden was not under the control of a weather monitor, the weather changes tended to be more natural. Zheng Qing felt that the wind blowing from the lake was slightly cool, and he couldn't help but wrap his robe tighter.
The sound of a chime crossed the sparkling lake and reached the ears of all the young wizards, refreshing their spirits. Even the chill seemed to lighten a bit.
The lake suddenly became quiet.
The sound of the chime sounded again, and the thick clouds and mist above Crescent Lake suddenly rolled and rolled to both sides, revealing a long and narrow crack. The golden sunlight fell from the cracked cloud gorge, smearing the sky, Mount Li and the lake. Magnificent.
The chime sounded for the third time.
The first round of the Spring Hunting Competition has officially begun.
A rainbow light slowly rose from the foot of Lishan Mountain and landed on the other side of Crescent Lake. It landed exactly at the feet of Alexander Hess and picked him up. He would be the first hunter to appear in the first round of the competition.
The Hess family is one of the few families in the alliance who are not from the Druid sect but are famous for their transfiguration. The more famous figure in the family is Magnus Hess, who was the first person more than a hundred years ago. It was first clarified that long-term use of transfiguration would cause symptoms similar to magic poisoning, and it was named 'Transformation Poisoning Syndrome'.
Alexander Hess is 22 years old, a fourth-year student at the Alpha College of First University. He behaves quite well on weekdays and has the unique calm temperament of a child of an aristocratic family.
After getting on the performance stage, he bowed politely to all the people around him.
A bamboo mirror fell from the void and fell into the hands of the wizard. He stretched out his hand and touched it, and a line of shining small words appeared on the bamboo mirror - 'Please use the transformation spell to refine a potion to cure scabies'.
This line of writing appeared in the void at the same time, and all the young wizards standing by the lake could see it.
Zheng Qing's first reaction when he saw this line was confusion, because potions and transfiguration were completely two concepts, and it was difficult for him to imagine how to use transfiguration to refine potions.
It was quiet beside the lake.
Lishan Mountain was gilded with a layer of gold by the sun, making it look a bit dazzling. The mist rolling between the top and the mountainside was flowing like a stream. Representatives from various major families, the 'hunters' of the Trident Sword and Danhag, and other major The guests of the Little and Little Wizard Organizations sat in their respective seats and looked quietly at the young man standing on the performance stage below.
Alexander Hess thought for a moment, then calmly opened the Dharma book and recited the incantation.
Colorful curse lights rose up one after another and fell outside the performance platform where various materials and tools for refining potions were stored. The medicine cabinet containing various materials shook violently. In a moment, the cabinet opened, and one by one each The gray-green scorpion hurriedly crawled out waving its big claw.
Following closely behind were several small iron-green snakes with tiny white spots all over their bodies. They snaked behind the scorpions, and together they rushed towards a large emerald green toad that was squatting next to Alexander.
The toad opened its mouth and let out a hot breath. With a roll of the bright red letter, it rolled up the gray-green scorpions and small iron-green snakes into its belly. A thunderous sound sounded in its belly, like boiling water. , one after another, transparent air cells swelled on the toad's back, and then burst, releasing wisps of unknown gas that gradually became darker in color.
Zheng Qing looked at this dazzling scene and felt confused.
"I see."
Jiang Yu's thoughtful voice came to his ears. He glanced at the witch in confusion and heard her explain in a low voice: "The simplest 'scabies potion' requires the use of dried nettles, crushed snake fangs, and steamed
Ingredients such as slugs with tentacles and porcupine quills... When preparing, you need to throw dried nettles and ground snake teeth into the cauldron and stew them together. After turning off the heat, add porcupine quills and steamed tentacled slugs.
Slug.
Nettle is also known as 'scorpion grass'. Alexander used transfiguration to turn the nettle grass into a scorpion and the crushed fangs into snakes. Did you see those fine white spots on the snake's body? Those are the deformed fang fragments.
The external manifestation of magic transformation. Then he turned the cauldron into a toad. Based on the principle of five poisons, he used the toad to swallow the scorpions and poisonous snakes, and then refined them in his stomach... It was said to be refining, but in fact it was a
The process of stewing.
If the refining principle of 'five poisons restrain each other' is not added to this process, then Alexander's transformation technique can only be regarded as a trick to deceive others, but after adding this principle, stew actually becomes another reaction mode.
This means that he is really using transformation to prepare potions."
When Zheng Qing heard this explanation, he felt that it was an eye-opener.
He had never thought that magic in different categories could be so connected and integrated with each other. Subconsciously, he thought of the talisman he was best at. If the bamboo mirror on the stage asked him to use the talisman to refine a potion, he would
how should I do it?
For the first time, he became more interested in Harukai, who was originally full of prejudice against him.
Just watching the first game of the first round, he immediately realized that compared with the children from poor families who lacked resources and accumulation, these wizards from aristocratic families not only had a more comprehensive and rich knowledge of magic, but they also did not
Rather than being complacent, on the contrary, wizards from these aristocratic families are more flexible when it comes to using magic. This alone can turn a registered wizard with ordinary qualifications into a registered wizard with "excellent qualifications" in the eyes of outsiders.
.
In comparison, Zheng Qing suddenly felt that his way of using magic was too rigid and dogmatic.
While Jiang Yu was explaining and thinking, the big toad on the stage swallowed the black-and-white centipede with pointed legs and the gecko whose body was as transparent as jelly.
The five poisons combined, and the big toad gradually calmed down, the crackling blisters on its back gradually disappeared, and the color of its body also changed from emerald green to dark green and finally faded to grayish white.
Alexander Hess took out a test tube from his sleeve, put it to the toad's mouth, caught half of the transparent saliva dripping from the toad, shook it, put it under his nose and sniffed, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The test tube and the big toad were quickly sent to the referee's seat.
Zheng Qing nodded in admiration, and involuntarily raised his hands and clapped twice, trying to express his joy at this moment. To use the ancient words to describe it, it is 'a enlightenment, a sudden enlightenment'. This game made him suddenly use the talisman.
I have a lot of new ideas and I can’t wait to find opportunities to try them out.
The crisp applause was particularly abrupt in the silence by the lake, which made him feel a little embarrassed and confused - although in theory everyone was a competitor, but faced with such excellent responses and answers on the stage,
Isn’t it worthy of the applause of onlookers?
"Alexander is already in the fourth grade and is about to graduate from the First University." Finally, Jiang Yu whispered in his ear and explained: "A wizard of this age is from the Hess family, but for the sake of safety, he deployed a young man
It’s hard for a scabies medicine that children know how to use to get everyone’s approval.”
Before he finished speaking, a firework rose from the foot of Mount Li, blooming into a clear number in mid-air:
Seventy-three.
This was the result of the final sum of the scores given by the ten judges - the score was not high, but it was much higher than the passing line - the young wizard on the martial arts stage breathed a sigh of relief, bowed properly, and was re-engaged by Hong Guang.
Roll back to the shore of Crescent Lake.
