Chapter 55 Loans(1/2)
The two who participated in the final of the Alchemist Competition finally stopped talking and began to move.
To be precise, Murong Di started to refine medicines and Gu Yue directly enjoyed the scenery that could only be appreciated by the front row.
It seemed that he had just thought and didn't get started. The alchemy furnace in front of Murong Di opened the lid, and the materials used for a second-grade hemostatic pill flew into the furnace directly, and then the alchemy furnace closed itself again.
The two-colored elixir fires were ignited at the same time. It was obviously very fierce, but Gu Yue, who was so close to him, did not feel a trace of heat leaking out. "Is this control? He also concentrated the temperature in his palm?"
Compared to the dazzling light and shadow, what surprised Gu Yue even more was the reality that "true vision" brought to him.
The fiery red on Murong Di's left hand consumes free fire elements normally, but it is more intense than Gu Yue has seen before, and the coverage of the pulling of fire elements is wider.
But the Chuangcui on her right hand did not have any fire element to gather, "Showing such a flame out of her body? Does she bring her own internal combustion engine?"
Every time he sees a new thing that refreshes his perspective, Gu Yue will be extremely excited. At this moment, he is no exception. This is also the reason why he has always insisted on strengthening his observation skills and is unwilling to miss every scenery in this new world.
The entire venue was extremely quiet, and it seemed that everyone was looking forward to Murong Di's works, including Gu Yue, as well.
Many people directly attributed the reason why Gu Yue was motionless to impress, but Murong Di himself would not be like this. Based on her understanding of Gu Yue, this is a guy who will not give up easily, but he was very decisive when he really gave up. If Gu Yue had already admitted defeat at this moment and was just waiting for his own refining, he would definitely not take out his equipment and prepare there.
But Murong Di did not have any doubts about the result. His victory was inevitable, because Gu Yue could not refine the best or above elixirs, but he could.
As time goes by, Murong Di ended the refining process, and with dazzling light, the newly released elixir flew into the medicine bottle by itself.
Suddenly, applause rang out on the court, not from the audience, but from Gu Yue.
"Although I haven't seen anyone else refining medicine, I can only describe your movements as perfect as I can admire you."
Murong Di's supporters were very helpful to this, and applause and cheers rang out at the same time.
"This guy has some gaze, and it's not too wasteful."
"That's right, in fact, he can pass it well. At least he can go to this point and appreciate Princess Murong's talent with his own eyes."
Only the elders and the president in the middle were very unhappy, "What is this guy going to do? He watched the whole refining process without moving, but he did not do it himself. Isn't this a waste of time?"
The result of Murong Di's victory should have been announced immediately, but it needs to be postponed again.
"Thank you for your praise. I'm still learning, but you just watch it, is it really good to not move?" Murong Di was a little unhappy. His performance was naturally perfect just now, but Gu Yue sat opposite and admired the whole process, as if she was demonstrating it for him. Is this considered a free lecture?
"Sorry, I couldn't help it for a while, it was too easy to be shocked. By the way, how did you come from Cangyan? Is it the so-called understanding of the special flame gains collected by the academy?"
"I want to know? Yes, I'll tell you if you win!"
"Hey, it seems that I didn't have the chance to listen to your explanation. I'm sorry, sorry."
The meaning of this statement is very clear. Gu Yue believes that it is unlikely that he will win, and the host on the side is a little unbearable.
"Ahem, Gu Yue player, if you don't want to refine, you can give up."
"Oh, sorry, I was too devoted just now and forgot that I am also a contestant. OK, OK, I will practice now, I will practice now."
He said apologies, but his hands were not too slow, but Gu Yue's refining did begin.
He doesn't have the capital to show off his skills like Murong Di. Not to mention the Danhuo, he has never tried even if he lets the Danfun open the cover by himself.
But in an orderly manner, the difference gradually became clear.
"He put in the ingredients of three kinds of elixirs?!" An elder seemed to be the most restless and asked the first question, although he knew that this was not a question.
The dean and other elders did not say it, but they were not shocked.
"Isn't it possible to blow up the stove like this? Is he confident that he can succeed? Should he let the evacuation that is too close in advance and send a few people to guard him? Although this guy is not likable, he is indeed a talent."
Another elder made a suggestion to the dean, and then several elders agreed.
"His attitude doesn't seem to be showing off, but it's better to be prepared for any eventuality. Is it better to have the help of Mr. Xing and Mr. Jun take care of him?"
"yes."
The two elders appeared not far beside Gu Yue, which gave the audience a new round of speculation.
"What the hell is this guy doing?"
"You know, but the two elders are probably afraid that he will blow up the stove, which will be bad if it affects the front row audience."
Neither of these actions nor remarks attracted any attention from Gu Yue, because he was now exhausted from dealing with it.
The second-grade elixir with three parts of the materials at the same time were made. Gu Yue's argument, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be the second-grade elixir with three effects at the same time. But he has never tried this way, because he has almost exhausted his mental power by investing only two parts of the materials in the compound refining of the second-grade elixir.
This time, in order to compete with Murong Di's top-quality elixir, Gu Yue thought it was not enough for just a compound elixir with two effects. And although he had never seen it, he didn't know whether Chen Guo had any records of compound elixirs.
So, this time he has to take a gamble, he has to.
But now, he deeply realized that he was still having fun.
The red balls were violently uneasy and stopped moving under the mobilization of Gu Yue's magic, waiting for Gu Yue's instructions, but just letting them stop consume one-third of Gu Yue's mental power reserves, which was just the beginning.
When it comes to the blue ball to replenish it, Gu Yue dared not try it at all because their speed was not much slower than the red ball. If such a large number of blue balls poured into his spiritual body like crazy, would it be directly swelled?
If Gu Yue cannot do it even knows that he will die, then it is not just a matter of committing death but seeking death.
However, what makes Gu Yue even more difficult is that he has encountered a new problem that has never happened before.
The fire in the center of the void was shaking and almost shattered in the endless bombardment of the red balls.
This may be telling Gu Yue that the flame of the alchemy furnace has reached its limit.
But the arrow was on the string and controlling such a large number of red balls at the same time made Gu Yue more burden more. However, the limit of the flames forced him to slow down the speed of eliminating the red balls, which made the mental power consumed even more like a flood of tides.
There is no other way, Gu Yue can only persist and grit her teeth and persevere.
As time goes by, the red balls are getting fewer and fewer, but Gu Yue's mental strength has bottomed out. If this continues, it is likely to be another period of weakness or even dry up to the point of being in a coma.
However, this refining of medicine is not the end, it is just a stepping stone to follow-up development.
Gu Yue cannot let herself fall into a coma, because God knows if she falls into a coma this time, where will she wake up again and what situation will she be.
Do you have to give up?
If the red ball is left, it may also be able to become a pill, but its quality is naturally very low. Can it be compared with Murong Di's best?
The answer is obvious.
Gu Yue fell into a dilemma.
"After all, I'm still playing a big deal! But I can't help myself. I'm the naive one. I thought Murong Di was the same. Tsk tsk, this trick was really good at cutting off the firewood from the cauldron, but it also gave me a chance. She has the right time, place and people. She only left me a little chance in this foolproof confidence. But what I didn't expect was that I was still too weak. When can I not experience this sense of frustration? Alas..."
"Alarm: The host's mental power is about to be exhausted, and this refining will not be maintained... Are you borrowing?"
“???”
Gu Yue was stinged by this familiar and disgusting word and almost fell into a trance for a moment.
"Alarm: The host's mental power is about to be exhausted, the countdown is thirty seconds, twenty-nine seconds, twenty-eight seconds..."
"Wait! That, what does lending mean? Literally? Who am I lending to? Do you lend it to you? How to repay it? Still have interest?"
"Twenty seconds, nineteen seconds, eighteen seconds..."
"Just bully me!" Gu Yue's silent roar echoed in his mind. This matter itself was subtle enough. "I borrow it, can't I borrow it? Hurry up, don't do it!"
"The mental power borrowing is successful, the host's mental power is fully replenished, and the refining of medicine continues."
"Then what? This is successful? Give me a message. What kind of mortgage should I take or how to repay the loan!" I could immediately feel the recovery of my mental power, but Gu Yue was not at all at ease at this time, because she was kidnapped by the system again, so she would just buy and sell forcibly, but she actually borrowed money this time!
But the system is still the same system, and it will not show any sympathy because of Gu Yue's loud shouts.
There was no way to vent, so Gu Yue had to pay attention to all his resentment in the unburned red balls one by one.
"Hu~" sighed, Gu Yue ended the long refining process and slowly opened the alchemy furnace to prepare to take out his work.
No surprise, a three-color pill was quietly waiting for Gu Yue to pick it.
"It's done?" the elders took a breath of air conditioning.
"Indeed, he was not showing off, but he seemed to be a little weak in the middle, but for some reason he suddenly recovered his mental power." The dean saw that his guess was argued, which was slightly less surprised than the elders.
"I heard that he was used to holding the bleeding-resistance pill and the spirit-condensing pill in his mouth, and swallowed it anytime and anywhere..." Old Xing had indeed more information, so he also gave an explanation for this special state.
"So that's what it is..."
The speechless elders fell into deep thought with the dean.
Gu Yue's completion also officially announced that the competition entered the final review stage, but Murong Di felt a little uneasy at this time. Gu Yue's method of refining medicine was unheard of, but these were traces to follow in Chu State, but who knew that he could refine three elixirs into one at the same time?
So how should this be calculated? In terms of quality, his own is the best, but isn’t his best grade equivalent to three of the best grades?
Murong Di, who is absolutely unambiguous in the refining process, never thought that she would have a chance to lose the game even if she had one in ten thousand, because she was confident enough, which was due to her talent and day and night hard work.
But Gu Yue took a different approach. He can be said to have set a precedent in the alchemy world. He must not be able to do such an incredible creation at this time. He has no idea how long it will take to try it. But Gu Yue not only tried it, but he also succeeded at one time. He is naturally fearless to dare to do this in such a competition. So how many things he still hides are something that everyone doesn’t know?
The same problem lingers in the minds of the dean and the elders, especially when they start to comment, they have a headache.
The dean is selfish in the arrangement of this final. Everyone knows this, but no one will object, because this is not only the face of Chen Guo, but also the foolproof that he can win the game with his strength.
But who would have thought that although Gu Yue could not refine elixirs with quality that Murong Di could not achieve, he could refine elixirs that Murong Di could not achieve. How should this be calculated?
The elders were silent and couldn't help looking at the dean.
The dean was also silent. Although he had this arrangement, he really didn't want to be favored for the refining of medicine. His granddaughter's strength was there. The schedule was just to avoid accidental and not to open the back door. But at present, he could not announce his granddaughter's victory in a frank manner.
“Is this difficult to evaluate?”
"It should be, otherwise the dean and the elders should have made a judgment long ago."
