Chapter 49 Fermentation

Rumors about Gu Yue spread throughout the city again, which made the people of Chu feel very déjà vu.

After investigation, the conclusion given by the garrison of Chen State was that it was impossible to determine who the attacker was, and it could only be determined that it had nothing to do with Chen State.

This result is not surprising. When the delegations from various countries gather, there is no need to deliberately find reasons to postpone it, not to mention that there is no useful information on the corpses.

But the Chu delegation was very indignant about this. The only contestant in Chendu was attacked without any substantial explanation. This was simply an insult to the Chu State. What's more, the attackers were two third-grade alchemists and six earth-level masters. How could there be no trace?

In response, Chen State gave a very responsible attitude, which was to send heavenly rank masters to protect Gu Yue with him to avoid similar incidents again. However, they also reserved the strength of the enemy that Gu Yue said, unless Chu State admitted to secretly sending heavenly rank masters to guard him.

The muddy water would not be clean for a while, but Gu Yue was very upset because an unknown Tian-level master was hiding around him all day long. The system would send an alarm whenever the person was discovered by the movements of this person. However, Gu Yue could not trust this person directly, so he could only endure it helplessly.

So Gu Yue stopped going out for the next few days. Tang Xiaoyan blamed himself very much, thinking that it was her willfulness that caused Gu Yue to be in danger, and she became a warning state for all the plants and trees. She even had to taste the food she sent before giving it to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue smiled bitterly and repeatedly emphasized that what she was most afraid of was poison, but Tang Xiaoyan only thought it was to comfort herself and was unswervingly stubborn. After all, this was her first time going abroad alone, after all, it was about Gu Yue's safety...

During this period, Sun Yiyue came to Gu Yue once, expressed regret for the attack, and once again warned Gu Yue to be careful. Seeing her expression, she probably had some understanding or noticed something, but a master of the Heavenly Level was squatting nearby, so it was not convenient for her to speak out.

"I have to say thank you for Ms. Sun for her last reminder, otherwise it is really hard to say whether the result will be different."

Seeing Gu Yue so calm and humble, Sun Yiyue wanted to speak but stopped, but just nodded and left.

The person who has visited Gu Yue is only one other person except Sun Yiyue, the old man in the academy who had a stalemate with Gu Yue on the first day.

Seeing this familiar old man suddenly coming, Gu Yue was of course very polite, but she didn't understand why.

"I roughly have a understanding of your mental power level, but I can be sure that that time is definitely not your upper limit. So it is rumored that you killed two third-grade alchemists in seconds. I believe it very much, but there is a problem."

"Senior, please speak."

"The second-grade alchemist is required to participate in the competition, but your rumors make all the contestants uneasy. If you really killed two third-grade alchemists with your own hands, then are you still second-grade?"

"To be honest, my mental power is indeed OK, but the entire Chu State can't find even a third-grade pill recipe. Even if I want to call myself a third-grade alchemist, there is no pill that can be used, what do you think?"

Gu Yue soon thought that there was indeed a problem here. This competition was said to be a second-grade or below, but no one had checked for him whether it met the requirements. Besides, how can we check how many grades an alchemist is? Does it also have the identification skills of his own "true vision"?

"We have examined this in advance. There is really no objection to your participation in the competition, but it is difficult to stop Youyou's mouth. As a last resort, we have to discuss whether to take some measures."

"Measures? How do you want me to cooperate?" Hearing the word "Measures", Gu Yue suddenly wanted to laugh.

"First of all, we have to conduct an accurate mental power detection on you. This is not difficult. It is very convenient to have a detection crystal. However, if the value is too high and it has exceeded the third grade and even reached the average fourth grade level, we are going to bring you a treasure to suppress mental power, so that your mental power level is not exaggerated. Of course, you still have to ask for your opinion here."

"So that's it, okay, you can test it. In fact, my own mental power level should not be too high." Gu Yue suddenly wanted to know what would the weakened state of so many layers of "mental distraction" on her body be detected?

"Very good. If you can cooperate with the college so much, it will be convenient for all parties to give an explanation. Of course, the college will also compensate you for this. After all, this treasure that suppresses mental power will cause you to be discomfort."

"Thank you for your kindness, I'll just follow the arrangements."

Gu Yue's cooperative attitude did make the academy's managers breathe a sigh of relief, but they also felt that there might be a fraud. After all, this guy just let go of more than a dozen contestants when he came in the first day. He would never do this if he was not serious and thorny. But just such a thorny head, he actually cooperated like this. Could it be that he changed his nature?

Until the test results came out, everyone was incredible.

"One Hundred and Eighty Two? Although this value does not match his age, it has only reached the third-grade level and is not very outstanding. Mr. Xing, are you really sure that this guy was still holding back when he was fighting with you that day? Could it be that you, the younger generation, were too cautious, which gave him a chance to breathe?"

"I am not so confused that I can't figure out the depth of the battle with others. However, if the results are correct, I have an idea."

"you say."

"There have always been rumors in Chu that Gu Yue has deposed their chief and vice president of the Alchemist Association. Although he has never seen a real person, he has always heard that he has the strength of the fourth and third grades respectively. Even if he exaggerates, he will not be at least the third grade. But Gu Yue was not even a second grade alchemist at that time. There is a noteworthy question here, that is, what do we alchemists rely on and mental power? In fact, it is not entirely true. Our main function is to refine medicine, but the environment of Chu State has made Gu Yue not have the chance to touch higher-quality refining medicines. So what is his own outstanding mental power used for? I think that he may have more experience in using it for people than everyone here."

Such a speech made everyone present look at each other. Isn’t this an exaggeration? This is the elders’ meeting of Chen’s Alchemist Academy, not to mention that the dean personally presided over. Can a second-grade alchemist with 182 mental power be compared with these people?

But Mr. Xing did not need to exaggerate, nor was he the possibility. After all, he had only personally fought against Gu Yue. Could it be that Mr. Xing specially released water to create an illusion? No matter how idle the elder is, he would not make such an assumption.

Therefore, the result is obvious. As Mr. Xing said, the main pursuit of alchemists is to refine higher-quality elixirs. The increase in mental power is just for such a purpose to serve. However, Gu Yue did not have the opportunity to reach the third grade or above elixirs, so what is his mental power used for?

After all, orthodox alchemists are not good at fighting, and Gu Yue must be very good at it.

"Old Xing said it very reasonably. Our unique advantages in the alchemy world of Dachen are beyond reach, but this does not mean that we high-level alchemists can really fight a hundred. But Chu is different. They have the inscription technology that is arrogant to the nations. We don't know whether this will be helpful for the development of mental power. However, one thing is certain. Chu did not send a heavenly master to protect Gu Yue. The attack that night was really caused by two third-grade alchemists, and the corpses were fatal. Although half of them had burn marks, it was just a result of one move. The four people who fell on the other side did not even have any external injuries. What does this mean? Obviously, Gu Yue's own mental power control is definitely beyond the reach of the same grade or even the first grade. And it is very likely that when this little guy uses his full strength, the 182 points of mental power can be exerted to the same level as us old men of three or four hundred."

The president's summary was even more shocked, but the elders were not suspicious, because the president's strength was there, and his experience and insight were naturally there.

Therefore, the meeting concluded that the test results of Gu Yue were directly disclosed and the accurate value was used to block Youyou's mouth. After all, this value did exceed the third grade, but it was just crossing the line and had nothing to do with those bizarre conjectures.

As for the restrictive measures, of course there is no need to use them again, otherwise the State of Chu would definitely not give up.

Before the meeting ended, the dean left a serious sentence, "No matter who it is, stop making bad thoughts. Maybe no one feels sorry for the third-grade alchemist, but after really losing the fourth-grade, it will not only hurt the various families, but also our Da Chen."

Can Gu Yue really kill the fourth-grade alchemist? No one can give the answer because no one wants to explore it.

In this way, Gu Yue, who had been resting in the room, had no idea where he was pushed back and forth and finally fell to the forefront.

Until the competition officially opens.

Before the preliminary round, the dean naturally had to come forward and be passionate. This was an old man with a long beard, but unfortunately he didn't wear a hat, otherwise Gu Yue would think he was more like the dean.

After the dean, a girl named Murong Di spoke as the representative of the contestants.

There was no third person around Gu Yue except Tang Xiaoyan and Shangguan Lien Lu. It was not that the organizer left a VIP seat for him, but that all the people consciously kept a distance from his wheelchair.

"In this era, athletes are still taking oaths?" Gu Yue, who was isolated but disregarded, wanted to laugh at this time, but she couldn't laugh immediately.

"Unlock the achievement of 'Shocking again', triggering the task 'countdown to get her within three days..., otherwise...'."

"What the hell?! Is there the word "Surprise again"? System? What are you nervous about? At least I didn't have any thoughts about this girl this time. Although she is indeed sweet and charming, tall and well-proportioned, and the ones that should be prominent are more attractive, especially the pleasant voice and confident temperament, I have been immune to beauty recently! At least now I can shout loudly that I don't have any special thoughts about her, you can't make decisions for me without authorization!"

The silent complaints naturally had no result, but the change in Gu Yue's mood made the two people around him think that this girl was related to Gu Yue, and they all fell into deep thought, "It's indeed a very shining girl, compared to her..."

Gu Yue was very depressed. She almost thought that the task of "get her..." would not appear again, but she was suddenly thrown out by the system again.

"I saw from my experience last time that this task was considered the 'main line', but I always feel like I'm being led by someone, and I'm not happy!"

However, the incident left for Gu Yue to stare blankly was not long. After everyone's speech, the dean announced the official start of the competition. Gu Yue, who was still stunned, was woken up and sent directly to the venue.

Keep your mind calm, at least this game cannot be affected.

On the desk in front of Gu Yue, there was a elixir and a pile of herbs, and all the contestants were the same. It seemed that the same elixir was compared.

"The first round of the preliminary round of the first 100 contestants will enter the semi-finals. The test questions for this round are to refine first-grade elixirs within two hours. Only ten pieces are considered qualified. You can accept the competition. Then you will determine the winning numbers and quality. The herbs you need are in front of you. If you use them up but fail to meet the standards, you will lose the qualification to continue. Now I announce that the first round of the preliminary round will begin!"

For a moment, the conference scene was extremely quiet. Not only did the contestants concentrate, but the audience also held their breath and concentrated. After all, the refining medicine was afraid of being disturbed.

Various elixir fires appeared one after another in the "puff" sound, and almost all contestants have officially entered the state of refining medicine, except Gu Yue.

Is this wheelchair boy not focused enough recently? Or is he having his own rhythm?

Not that Gu Yue just couldn't just stretch out his hand like others and ignite the fire. When he took out the lighter, everyone's eyes were attracted by this special thing. The exquisite and compact texture was special and shiny, which was definitely not an ordinary person intuition.

However, Gu Yue would not wait for everyone to slowly guess. After all, he had to refine medicine, so he was so skillful that the ignition action happened without warning.

"Fire Memorial? Is that a fire Memorial? Is he going to light the alchemy furnace?"

I don’t know who was the first to ask such a question, and for a moment all the knowing audience burst into laughter and no momentum of restraint.

Gu Yue, who was still surprised, did not stop the movement in his hand. Unfortunately, the alchemy furnace that should have been lit was not as expected.

This situation made Gu Yue unclear, but he still tried it twice. Unfortunately, the Danlu stubbornly did not respond.

"This idiot actually wants to refine medicine with fire pills! Get out, it's a waste!"

The audience's crazy laughter turned into harsh words. Gu Yue realized that this alchemy furnace was not his own, and there was no space for fuel to be placed in the bottom of the furnace.

Not only did he smile bitterly, Gu Yue's actions stunned the elders who had expectations for him.

At this time, Gu Yue raised his hand and said, "Sorry, can I use my own alchemy furnace?"

Such a requirement has never appeared in the history of the Alchemist Competition, and even the last time the Chu people participated, it was not mentioned. But at present, it is an indisputable fact that Gu Yue cannot condense alchemy fire.

After a while of whisper, the host of this round agreed to Gu Yue's request and asked if he needed to send someone to his residence to pick it up.

"No need, I'll take it with me. Thank you for your understanding and tolerance."

While smiling and thanking, he held it casually and the alchemy furnace immediately appeared.

This sudden situation stunned the audience who were shouting malice again, especially the players who were not on the field, whose eyes were full of envy.

You should know that weapons or props that can be carried by inscriptions can at least have the best quality or above. This common sense is recognized. Gu Yue, a guy who can't even use elixir fire, actually has such a elixir furnace, which is not just envious of others?

Next, Gu Yue began the familiar process of refining medicine, and the noise from the audience gradually disappeared.

There were not many actions. In everyone's eyes, Gu Yue just kept repeating a process, which was to add herbs to the elixir, then refine them with one hand, then take out a elixir and put it in the medicine bottle...
