In that simple wooden tripod that was a bit over the top, there were ten True Mysterious Pills lying there. Each one was the same size and uniform in color. Each one was a mid-level spiritual pill, and there was no way it was fake.
"Yue Jinghua, ten True Mysterious Pills, the success rate of the pill is 10%," Mrs. Yao's voice was steady even after seeing the most precious spiritual item, but today in front of this cauldron of True Mysterious Pills, her
The voice was a bit shaky.
After the results of the alchemy were announced, there was a moment of silence in the Izumo Palace. Everyone's eyes fell on the wooden tripod in disbelief, as if it was some rare treasure.
The elixir refining rate is 10%, and each of them is a mid-level spiritual elixir, refined by a junior single master. If this were not the assessment site of the royal alchemist, I am afraid that if I tell anyone, I will be sprayed half to death.
What's more, the True Mysterious Pill is by far the most difficult to refine among the mid-level spiritual pills.
Why, why was the success rate of her second batch of pills just now only 60%?
Could it be that Lie Sisi's mind was filled with roars, could it be that Yue Jinghua had been pretending to be stupid from the beginning and deliberately lost in front.
But how could she have the confidence to take such a big risk? Could it be that she was completely sure that the third round would definitely achieve a 100% success rate.
Lie Sisi felt like the world was spinning. The six pills in the Golden Toad Cauldron looked so ridiculous.
"Mrs. Yao, I don't know the result of this competition. Can you judge it?" Yue Jinghua blinked, reminding everyone that the winner has been decided.
Lie Sisi, Lie Sisi, you can be considered as exhausted, but you don’t know that evil people will always be punished by evil people. If she hadn’t thought of plotting against Feng Chuo, it would have delayed her own elixir making. If she had honestly used the Golden Toad Cauldron to make elixirs,
After directly refining ten finished pills, no matter how hard I tried to deceive, I still couldn't defeat Lie Sisi.
Lie Sisi was so angry that she stared at Yue Jinghua, the anger in her heart surged like a tide.
Yue Jinghua, you despicable and shameless villain.
"Everyone, the winner has been decided. I think Master Yue Alchemist deserves to be called the Royal Alchemist, and he deserves the title," Sha Fei said with a smile, very satisfied with Yue Jinghua's performance just now.
"Your Majesty," Fa Xiaoyi was obviously not satisfied with the current result. He took a step forward and said, "In terms of the rate of elixir production, Miss Yue and Miss Lie are equally skilled in elixirs. However, Miss Yue missed the first round of elixirs."
Try it, if she gets the imperial alchemy master, I'm afraid others will be dissatisfied,"
Mrs. Yao also stepped forward and said: "Prince Fa is right. What alchemists pay attention to is the rate of elixir formation. From the perspective of elixir formation, Miss Yue and Miss Lie are in a tie."
Qin Gang also echoed: "In order to convince the public, Miss Yue and Miss Lie had better compete again."
"Let's compete. It's just a time to take a nap anyway," Yue Jinghua said and yawned. When she was refining the elixir just now, many people saw her closing her eyes and not focusing on refining the elixir at all.
Go ahead, if you let such a person become the Royal Alchemist, how can you convince the public?
When Lie Sisi heard that there was still a chance, her expression softened a little, and she hurriedly walked to Fa Xiaoyun, bowed, and said softly: "I hope the monarch will give Sisi another chance."
When Fa Xiaoyun saw the beauty pleading, his bones were already half frozen. He didn't think much and directly agreed to her request. Many beautiful royal alchemists in the palace are much better than many ugly women with yin and yang faces.
Moreover, Lie Sisi is the descendant of Liejiabao, and by winning her over, she may be included in the harem in the future, which is the best of both worlds.
The assessment of the Royal Alchemist had to enter the fourth round.
According to the regulations, the failed alchemist must leave the palace immediately. Feng Chuo left the Izumo Palace in a depressed mood and despondency after practicing the useless elixir.
Just as he was leaving, a female voice floated in his ears, "After leaving the palace, go to a small medicine store in Xiongqiao Hutong. There is a woman named Hongyao there. Tell her that I introduced you.
of."
Feng Chuo thought he heard wrongly, but when he listened carefully again, the man's voice had disappeared. Feng Chuo remembered that voice, it was Yue Jinghua's voice.
"This person is not simple," Feng Chuo is an honest person, but he still has a lot of research on the way of alchemy. The ten True Mysterious Pills that Yue Jinghua just took out are stronger than the True Mysterious Pill that the medicine woman took out.
Much more.
A person who can easily surpass an intermediate alchemist in making alchemy, but just now he was trying to remind her how to make an pill in front of her.
Thinking of this, Feng Chuo felt even more ashamed. He lowered his head and left Xiaoshang Palace.
If you fail to pass the imperial alchemist examination, it means you have no money to build a school for the village. Those poor children will be disappointed again.
Feng Chuo was walking, feeling sorry for himself, and unknowingly walked into Xianqiao Hutong.
"How did you get here?" Feng Chuo had previously taken the medicinal herbs collected from the mountains and sold them in the city. Most of them were sold to pharmacies in the city including Yongchuntang. He really didn't know that in this area,
There is also a small medicine store hidden in the alley of an unassuming residential building.
I looked at the small medicine store with few people around. There was a young woman in her twenties sitting at the door. The young woman was holding a ledger in her hand and was sketching something.
"Boss, how much does a dose of Qingxin Powder cost?" A resident of the city came and asked about the price of Qingxin Powder.
"One gold coin," the young woman said indifferently and did not get up to greet the guests.
A gold coin? Feng Chuo swallowed his saliva, my mother, ten packets of Qingxin Powder ingredients only cost one copper coin. This small medicine store is really killing people, even the price of Yongchundang is much more reasonable than it.
"Buy or not, don't block the store entrance if you don't buy," the young woman scolded impatiently, looking in the direction where Feng Chuo came from, as if she was waiting for someone.
"It's cheaper, how about eight copper coins?" The other party still didn't give up.
"No, it's eight copper coins," the young woman said quickly. She took out two portions of the Qingxin Powder and threw the rest to the guest.
The guest's face suddenly darkened, but he seemed to have some scruples, so he had no choice but to put down eight copper coins and leave.
"It's almost time," the young woman stood up and walked slowly into the medicine store. She walked out soon and saw several medicine bottles in her hand.
As soon as the young woman walked out, Feng Chuo heard a drum-like sound of footsteps behind her. Someone bumped her shoulder hard, and the person stepped back several steps.
"Scholar, don't block the way of the gentlemen." Behind him, several big men with dark faces emerged. Everyone ran forward as if they were afraid of being late. After rushing in front of the woman, they waved the Danxuan Card in their hands.
.
"I arrived first, so the elixir should be mine,"
"Miss Hong Yao obviously touched my Danxuan card first, and the transaction is considered complete only after the money is paid,"
"Bullshit, our Tian Xiong Mercenary Group ordered this batch of elixirs from Miss Hong Yao a month ago,"
These people were all dressed up, equipped with swords and armor, and looking at how loud they were shouting, they were all mercenaries.
"Come one by one, don't worry. Those who paid the deposit will definitely get the medicine. Those who didn't pay the deposit should come early next time." The young woman seemed to be used to such scenes and was not anxious. She accepted the cards one by one.
, she glanced at the position where Feng Chuo was standing, as if absentmindedly.
They are all mercenaries, and this medicine store actually deals with mercenaries.
After seeing such a situation, Feng Chuo had already begun to think about quitting. He was just an ordinary citizen. In his eyes, the so-called mercenaries were just a group of bandits who committed countless crimes by burning, killing, and looting.
This small medicine shop charges extremely high prices and deals with mercenaries, so it must be bad luck.
Feng Chuo walked out of the alleyway glumly. After walking a few steps, he saw a peasant woman walking in front of her wearing a blue cloth bag, carrying a basket of local eggs, and followed by a boy.
"A Yi Niang, A Yi, why are you here? What's wrong with A Yi's leg?" Feng Chuo recognized the two people in front of him. Aren't they neighbors in the village?
"Uncle Chuo," Feng Chuo was very popular in the village. He often taught the children how to read and write. He taught Ayi's name to write by himself.
Feng Chuo felt a little strange when he saw A Yi's leg limping. Yesterday when he went to the city to attend the imperial alchemy session, he didn't see A Yi's leg injured either.
"This child is naughty. When he was playing on the field at the head of the village this morning, he was accidentally bitten by a wood snake." A Yi's mother's eyes were still a little swollen. Feng Chuo was early for this imperial alchemist assessment.
One day when we entered the city, after Ayi was injured during the day, the villagers couldn't find anyone to see a doctor, so they hitched a bullock cart and sent the mother and son into the city.
When A Yi Niang found out about Dan Lu's "Shen Dan Master", she smashed the Qian Bin Tower and rushed there, but she was turned away.
"Wood Snake? That is a very powerful mysterious beast. A Yi, please don't move around. Sit down immediately and let your uncle take a look." When Feng Chuo heard that it was a Wood Snake, he was also very anxious at the moment. The wood snake's wood poison is very poisonous.
It's amazing, even if he was in the village at that time, he might not be able to save A Yi.
"Uncle Chuo, it's okay. I met the female fairy. She gave me some water and rice cereal, and I was fine. You see, I can even jump now." A Yi is still a child,
He had long forgotten the previous ordeal and started jumping around Feng Chuo.
"Ayi, don't be too lazy. Your uncle Feng is also tired. Let him go back to the village to rest first." Ayi's mother saw that Feng Chuo looked depressed and knew that he must have failed to pass the exam as an alchemist, so she did not ask the alchemist.
What was the result of the assessment?
Feng Chuo was still not at ease, so he forced A Yi to sit down and carefully inspected his wounds. He saw clearly that a thin layer of blood film had formed on the wounds on his feet. It turned out to be nothing serious. He tried again
A Yi's meridians only felt that his heartbeat and tendons were stronger than Xiang Xi's, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"A Yi Niang, who saved A Yi, and who were the rice cereal and water he mentioned?" Feng Chuo knew how powerful the wood snake was. Without the magic elixir, A Yi's legs would never have been saved.
"We met a kind-hearted person, and she gave A Yi some stalactite to drink." A Yi's mother couldn't name the ambergris stalactite. She only knew that those people called the elixir given by Yue Jinghua.
stalactite.
"Ambergris! Who is that person?" Feng Chuo was even more surprised. Where did a kind person come from who would use such precious medicinal materials as ambergris to treat A Yi, who was born in a poor family.
"Yue Jinghua, I heard that he is Master Yue Dan. I asked people just now and they said that Master Yue Dan's medicine shop is here. I don't have much money at home, so I brought some of my own local eggs to thank Yue Dan.
"Master," A Yi Niang was a little embarrassed. She knew that Yue Jinghua was from Liejiabao. She originally wanted to send the eggs to Liejiabao, but the guards there were all fierce and drove her away.
When he came out, he almost smashed her basket.
Fortunately, a pretty-looking woman came out of the castle and gave her directions, telling her to take the eggs to the small medicine shop in Seam Bridge Alley.
"Yue Jinghua? A Yi Niang, was it around noon when you met her? Was Master Yue Jinghua a girl wearing white armor?" Feng Chuo was shocked in his heart. He could not have imagined that Yue Jinghua was here for
He was late to save the villagers.
"Brother Feng!" A Yi Niang couldn't help but screamed several times when she saw that Feng Chuo seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. She turned around and ran towards the alley.
Feng Chuo strode forward, his heart suddenly brightening. He knew that not far ahead, there was a brand new future waiting for him.
Feng Chuo didn't know that because of his decision today, he would be exploited by the two most important women in his life for hundreds of years to come.
A few years later, everyone was curious as to why this honest man, known as the "Edison" of the alchemy world, walked together with two of the most unscrupulous and profiteer women in the world. The white-haired Feng Chuo
He smiled and said, "Meeting them is the greatest luck in my life."
