In the room, Liu Zhihuan suddenly let out a low drink, and a smile broke out on his face.
The fragrant fragrance of elixir fills the room.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the elixir, Liu Zhihuan knew that this batch of star elixir must be a good elixir.
It also has to be good.
Because he was very satisfied with the refining of his batch of Star Pills. He felt that every detail was handled very well and he had performed to the best of his ability.
Bang!
Liu Zhihuan tapped the alchemy furnace with his right hand, shook open the lid of the furnace, and the bright star pills flew out from the mouth of the furnace.
Ding ding ding!
He picked up the jade box on the desk, caught the elixirs one by one, and glanced at the burning incense next to it.
The incense burnt for only two degrees told him that his furnace was a moment faster than the normal time to refine a furnace of Star Pills.
Then his eyes fell on the jade box, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Make twenty pills.
Among them, eight are top-grade, 11 are top-grade, and one is even top-grade.
This top-notch star elixir is crystal clear, and the bright starlight swirls around inside it. People just take a look at it and don’t want to look away. They only feel the small elixir.
There really is a sea of bright stars inside.
“Not bad, quite good!”
"To be able to refine a top-quality elixir when every elixir is of such high quality is truly commendable!"
Yan Mingchao walked into the room from the balcony, looked at the Star Pill in the jade box in Liu Zhihuan's hand, and gave him high praise.
Shang Susu and Zhao Dongqing also nodded with satisfaction.
They originally thought that Liu Zhihuan was going to lose to Zhang Xiaopeng, and that the loss would be a bit ugly, but they never thought that Liu Zhihuan was so upbeat that he actually refined a top-quality star elixir, which instantly made up for the gap.
"Has Zhang Dayong finished practicing?" Liu Zhihuan looked at Zhao Dongqing and asked.
But before Zhao Dongqing could speak, he continued: "With his speed in refining the elixir, he must have finished it. I wonder how long it took him? How many elixirs did he make? How is the quality?"
"he--"
Dang Dang Dang!
Zhao Dongqing was about to answer when he was interrupted by a series of knocks on the door.
Zhao Dongqing turned to look at the door and found that the person knocking on the door was the invigilator who was invigilating Zhang Xiaozu's alchemy test. Knowing that Zhang Xiaozu's alchemy results were delivered, he looked at Liu Zhihuan and said, "Zhang Dayong's results are here.
, you can see for yourself."
Liu Zhihuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Although he guessed that Zhang Xiaozu had probably completed the alchemy, he still felt uncomfortable after learning that Zhang Xiaozu was really faster than him, because he was not slow in refining this time. He thought he had a chance to compete with Zhang Xiaozu in terms of speed.
In the end, we still lost.
Moreover, the examination room is a bit far away from here. He has just finished practicing here, but Zhang Xiaopou's results have been registered and sent over there, which means that Zhang Xiaopou is more than a little faster than him.
Liu Zhihuan was a little nervous. He held the jade box in his left hand and unfolded Zhang Xiaozu's report card in his right hand. He held it in front of his eyes. His eyes glanced up and down, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Time is twice as fast as his.
There are twenty-five Cheng Dan, which on the surface seems to be five more than him, but the actual meaning is by no means as simple as five more.
A batch of twenty-five star elixirs may have broken through the limit and created history.
In terms of the quality of the elixirs, although there are five middle-grade pills, none of them are top-grade or top-grade.
Faced with Zhang Xiaozu's dazzling report card, Liu Zhihuan felt that the only thing he could offer was a top-quality Star Pill.
However, as far as he knew, Zhang Xiaozu once refined thirty top-quality Star-Shattering Pills in one furnace. He had no way of knowing if Zhang Xiaozu had not pursued the number of completed pills, whether he would have surpassed them in the number of top-quality Star-Shattering Pills.
Suppress him?
"I lost."
Liu Zhihuan opened the jade box and after confirming that the invigilator's registration was correct, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
His body visibly collapsed, and it looked as if Zhang Xiaopou had been defeated.
Zhao Dongqing stepped forward and comforted him: "You have refined a top-quality elixir, which is enough to make up for the gaps in other aspects. In addition, the test questions in the next main competition will not be so simple. That is the time when the elixir skills are truly tested."
Liu Zhihuan shook his head and was indifferent to Zhao Dongqing's relief, because he felt that he had lost completely in this contest and was not a top player at all.
Dan can make up for it.
But then he took a deep breath, regained his tired spirit, clenched his right fist to cheer himself up and said: "I lost this round, wait, I will definitely beat you in the next main match.
"
"Well done!" Zhao Dongqing patted Liu Zhihuan on the shoulder happily.
He was really afraid that Liu Zhihuan would not be able to withstand the blow and would be unable to recover.
Because Liu Zhihuan has been like a proud man since he was a child. He has never met an opponent in the alchemy path among his peers, let alone been defeated. Therefore, for him, this competition is a defeat.
It can be said to be a huge blow.
Zhao Dongqing really didn't expect Liu Zhihuan to face it so calmly and regain his confidence immediately.
Yan Mingchao said: "Don't take the temporary winning or losing too seriously. Not only will utilitarianism not improve your alchemy skills, but it will make you lose your due level. You can only follow your own heart, like and enjoy the fun of alchemy.
Only then can we go further.”
"The seniors' warnings must be kept in mind by the juniors."
"Your talent is very good. I hope you can go further and further on the road to alchemy and contribute to the cause of human alchemy." Yan Mingchao looked into Liu Zhihuan's eyes and said solemnly.
Liu Zhihuan bowed deeply to Yan Mingchao and replied sonorously: "The juniors will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of the seniors!"
After hearing Yan Mingchao's encouragement, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Before that, everyone from Shang Susu to Zhao Dongqing and others told him how easy it was for alchemists to make money and how high their status was. They were either chasing profits or fame. But what he saw with his eyes and heard with his ears was...
This is indeed the case.
But now Yan Mingchao suddenly told him that he wanted to contribute to the alchemy cause of mankind. The moment he heard these words, he felt that his heart was inexplicably shocked and his thoughts were sublimated.
Perhaps to others, words like "contributing to mankind" are all high-sounding words. It's okay to listen to them, but if you really think about it, it would be ridiculous.
But Liu Zhihuan is different.
He has always had little interest in fame and fortune, and was often held up by Zhao Dongqing and others, so there was always a void and a feeling of confusion deep in his heart.
He knew that he was extremely talented in the alchemy path, but he didn't know what the use of such talent was. If it was just used to pursue fame and fortune, it would be too boring.
Over time, he even gradually lost interest in alchemy.
However, now, Yan Mingchao's unintentional words of encouragement happened to fill the vacancy in his heart, allowing him to find the goal of struggle and the meaning of alchemy.
Shang Susu and Zhao Dongqing were stunned when they saw the bright light suddenly bursting out of Liu Zhihuan's eyes. Only then did they realize that the light in Liu Zhihuan's eyes had disappeared for a long time before.
"Did my wrong teachings make the light disappear from this child's eyes?"
The two of them had the same question in their minds at the same time, and then they felt very guilty and guilty, feeling that they had almost killed an alchemy genius.
Yan Mingchao's aura is not strong, but his words and deeds seem to have a special charm, which can easily infect those who get along with him.
Shang Susu, Zhao Dongqing and Liu Zhihuan were all more or less influenced by his thoughts.
…
List will be released in the afternoon.
Zhang Xiaozu's gorgeous results topped the list, shocking all the contestants.
In the alchemy room of the Paradise Alchemy Pavilion, Yan Mingchao has begun his journey of a thousand furnaces of star pills, which is very thrilling, because from the beginning of his alchemy to the present, every furnace must explode.
Next door, Shang Susu was doing the same thing.
Next door, Zhao Dongqing is not idle either.
If these three people were publicly refining elixirs on the street, uninformed people would definitely not think that they were refining elixirs, but would guess that they were competing to see who could explode the furnace faster and louder.
…
"Damn Qian Tongtong, he punished Hong'er to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days. He is so cruel!"
"No, I have to talk to him."
At Qian's Tea Shop, Qian Tongqian was so angry that he learned that Qian Ruohong had been punished by Qian Tongtong to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days.
Just as he was about to tell his men to prepare the carriage and prepare to go back to the Qian family compound to find a way to get money and plead with Qian Ruohong, a guest wearing a green robe suddenly walked in the door.
The man in green robe stood at the door, blocking the afternoon sunlight that shone in front of the door, making the light in the shop suddenly much darker.
Qian Tongqian noticed the visitor and wanted to see his face clearly, but the man's entire head was hidden in his green robe and hat, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
The man in green robe didn't say anything when he entered the door, but walked straight towards the counter where Qian Tongqian was.
"What kind of tea does the guest want to buy?"
Qian Tongqian asked with a frown.
The man in green robe did not respond, walked to the counter, put his right hand on the counter, then turned around and left, and disappeared from the door in the blink of an eye.
A note was left on the counter.
Qian Tongqian picked up the note and unfolded it curiously. He glanced at the note and suddenly looked startled. He hurriedly clenched his fist and took the note into his hand. At the same time, he looked around warily and found that no one was nearby. He couldn't help but relax. Take a breath.
