Chapter thirteen medicine refining competition
Qingshi City is just a small city, and there may not be any big news in a year, but this year is really extraordinary. First, the Chen family invited a second-grade alchemist to come up with a second-grade elixir called Xiaoyuan Dan.
It immediately aroused the pursuit of many cultivators. After all, in such a small town, second-grade elixirs are rare, let alone second-grade elixirs that can help people practice.
However, not long after this, the Wang family suddenly started selling Xiao Yuan Dan, and then the Chen family, which made a lot of money, suddenly announced that the Chen family's Xiao Yuan Dan prescription had been stolen.
Who stole the elixir? All kinds of speculations filled the city for a while, and with the Chen family secretly guiding them, more and more accusations were pointed at the Wang family.
Naturally, the Wang family would not show weakness, and began to bring out some old memories to throw dirty water on the Chen family. For a time, Qingshi City was bustling with activity.
The Chen family requested instructions from the city lord's palace to determine the ownership of the sale of Xiaoyuan Dan through the method of alchemists. This news was suddenly exposed in Qingshi City, and it suddenly attracted the attention of all the forces and practitioners.
Although alchemists are rare in Qingshi City, they are not unheard of. Many local practitioners in Qingshi City will never see two alchemists competing for alchemy on the spot.
"There hasn't been this kind of alchemist working in Qingshi City for decades?" Alchemists are the treasures of all major forces, and it is difficult to meet them on a daily basis.
"More than that! I heard my grandpa say that the last time an alchemist had this kind of competition was when he was young!"
"It's a pity that my grandpa was young and ignorant at that time, otherwise he would have learned a lot secretly. Now I am also a descendant of alchemists, and I will be a popular and popular person!"
"This is really an opportunity. I must steal my knowledge and become a distinguished alchemist!"
"Go to sleep, you will have everything in your dreams!"
"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan..."
"roll!"
"..."
“Seats in the central square of Qingshi City are available in large quantities, so hurry up if you want to buy!”
"Damn it... The city lord's mansion is crazy about money. If you want to watch this kind of showdown, do you still have to buy seats?"
"You can just go in and stand there, why do you have to spend money?"
"That makes sense..."
"..."
For a time, this kind of topic spread throughout Qingshi City, just like the Chinese New Year.
As for the Wang Family Medicine House, all the senior officials of the Wang Family were here, dressed in formal attire and with serious faces. Even Li Rong didn't know where he got an alchemist's brocade robe that was the same as Zhang Wanfang's, except for the collar and cuffs.
There is only one star.
After the old man put it on, with his white beard and white hair, he looked quite like a master.
It can be seen that the Wang family attaches great importance to this alchemist competition, and Qin Shu is also standing beside it.
As his son-in-law, Qin Shu was originally not qualified to attend such an important occasion, but Li Rong guaranteed that he had the qualifications to become an alchemist, which also improved Qin Shu's status in the Wang family a lot.
"Let's go!" Wang Zhan was in high spirits, the master's power dispersed, and he walked towards the door first.
Qingshi City is not big, so a large group of the Wang family arrived at the central square in just a few minutes' time over a cup of tea, and the place was already surrounded by busy cultivators.
"The Wang family...arrives!"
The competition arranged by the city lord's palace was quite reliable. As soon as Qin Shu and his party approached, there was an announcement that shook the square.
Then, in the central square where even the ants couldn't squeeze in, the heads of people continued to squirm, leaving a slightly wider passage.
Wang Zhan took the lead, and a group of people walked in slowly. After entering, they saw that a high platform had been built inside, and there were two furnace cauldrons on the high platform.
Dozens of seats were lined up on both sides of the high platform, obviously prepared for the Chen and Wang families.
Wang Zhan led people over, and Shi Shiran sat down. As Wang Shishan's husband and possessing alchemy skills, he also had a chair to sit on.
Of course, among the younger generation of the Wang family, only Qin Shu and Wang Shishan have this qualification. The younger generations in other houses can only stand behind their elders.
Not long after the Wang family and the others settled in, another announcement rang through the square.
"The Chen family...arrives!"
With the heads squirming, a group of people in gorgeous clothes soon walked near the high platform.
"Brother Wang has been kept waiting for a long time!" The first old man of the Chen family was Chen Shi, the head of the family. He and others did not sit down, but walked to the Wang family's seat.
"We just arrived too!" Wang Zhan stood up and said with a smile, looking very kind.
The two families wished for the death of the other family, but the heads of the two families looked at each other like spring breeze on such an occasion, as if they were friends for many years, which Qin Shu was very interested in.
"This competition is for two alchemists to exchange alchemy methods. No matter whether we win or lose, I hope it won't affect the friendship between our two families!" Chen Shi held Wang Zhan's hand and said sarcastically, seemingly affectionately.
"That's for sure. My Wang family would also like to thank the Chen family's alchemist for coming up with such a good prescription as Xiaoyuan Dan, which will benefit everyone in Qingshi City...and my family!" Wang Zhan retorted with a smile, showing no mercy.
"snort!"
"snort!"
When the Chen family sat down, an old voice suddenly appeared on the high platform, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and support me!"
Everyone looked at the sound and found that an old man was already standing on the high platform. He raised his hands in all directions and said, "I, Yang Shan, will preside over this alchemy competition!"
During the movement, three shining stars were revealed on the collar and cuffs. This is the only third-grade alchemist in Bluestone City!
"Hiss!" Seeing this old man, knowledgeable practitioners couldn't help but gasped and whispered.
"Even this old gentleman came out. It seems that this alchemy competition is indeed a rare event!"
Qin Shu listened to these voices and looked at the old man on the high platform with a flash of light in his eyes.
Qingshi City is a secular city. Although there are many people practicing martial arts, in Qin Shu's opinion, the only one who can be called a cultivator is the third-grade alchemist on the high platform.
As for Chen Shi and Wang Zhan, who are quite famous in Qingshi City, in Qin Shu's view, they are just warriors and are still far from the threshold of the Tao.
This Yang Shan is usually a high-ranking person and does not often host. After introducing himself, he waved to the seats of the two families.
"Please invite the two alchemists to come on stage!"
"Uncle, I'm going right now!" Li Rong, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, took a breath after hearing this, stood up, and held his hands towards Li Rong. When Qin Shu nodded, he turned around and walked slowly towards the high platform.
This made Wang Zhan, who was about to say a few words of encouragement, open his mouth, but he stifled his words and said with a forced smile: "It seems that Master Li is very confident!"
Wang Shishan, who noticed this scene, covered her mouth and suppressed a smile. At the same time, she turned her head and looked at her husband sitting next to her with some doubts.
