"Master, it's dawn and the alchemy competition is about to begin. Should we continue to wait?"
Imperial Master Yanri and others who were sitting cross-legged outside the Golden Palace were awakened by the soft morning light. Seeing the sky getting brighter, Imperial Master Yanri asked in a low voice.
"National Master, the alchemy competition will be left to you. We will continue to wait here!"
After waiting all night, the silver-haired old woman never showed up. This made the Fire Spirit Emperor a little uneasy. He didn't want to leave the Golden Palace, so he explained in a low voice.
"Okay then, I'll host this alchemy competition!"
Imperial Master Yanri took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, stood up slowly and said.
"National Master, if possible, create some difficulties for Yu Wen Qingling and Xi Feng. Be sure not to let them enter the top thirty!"
King Ziyang's deep eyes flashed with sharp eyes, and he whispered.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will do it!"
Because Gu Tiange had become a public enemy of the Yanri royal family, Yu Wen Qingling and others were implicated and faced hostility.
When the panic-stricken Imperial Master Yanri rushed to the Huoling Palace with several royal masters, a hundred advanced pharmacists arrived early, bathed in the morning light, and waited patiently.
"Xi Feng, where did Brother Gu go? Is he going to be okay?"
Although they successfully advanced to the finals, because Gu Tiange was missing, Yu Wen and Qing Ling seemed to have lost their backbone and became restless.
"Brother Gu is a god, I believe no one in Yanri Palace can hurt him!"
Xi Feng blindly worshiped Gu Tiange and never believed that an accident would happen to him.
"Hopefully!"
Yu Wen Qingling took a deep breath, tried to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, calmed down, and waited for the start of the game.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Imperial Master Yanri appeared on the central jade platform, glanced at Yuwen Qingling and Xi Feng in the crowd and said: "Today is the last event, the day of the alchemy competition, the top thirty
Those who will represent our Yanri Kingdom will participate in the Ancient Medicine Ceremony held by the Ancient Kingdom of God."
"Those who enter the top ten will receive heavy rewards, and the top three will be personally appointed to official positions by the king."
"Okay, contestants, please follow me!"
With that said, Imperial Master Yanri led hundreds of contestants into the extremely hot assessment hall.
"In front of you, there are three alchemy recipes of different levels and the corresponding alchemy herbs suspended in front of you. The results of the alchemy competition are comprehensively evaluated based on the alchemy level, quality, and alchemy speed."
"Okay, your names are on the alchemy table. After you find your name, you can start to choose the elixir recipe. After burning a stick of incense, we will have an alchemy competition!" Yanri Guoshi announced loudly.
There were not many five-star pharmacists participating this time, and because of Gu Tiange, at least two-thirds of them were unable to participate, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the challenge for Yu Wen Qing Ling and the others.
It can be said that if they can refine a low-grade Ancient Dao Pill, they can break into the top five and have more hope of winning the first prize.
"Gu Dao Dan, can I succeed?"
Looking at the Danfang in front of him, the innocent and lovely Yu Wen Qingling knitted his brows tightly together and hesitated.
After all, if she fails, she will lose the qualification to go to the Ancient Divine Kingdom and participate in the Ancient Medicine Ceremony.
"Hey, it's better to be on the safe side and refine the best Tao elixir!"
After pondering, Yu Wen Qingling did not dare to challenge the ancient Taoist elixir and chose to refine the top-quality Taoist elixir.
But Xi Feng remembered Gu Tiange's words and Yu Wen Qingling's promise, and chose to challenge the refining of the Ancient Dao Pill without hesitation.
After choosing the recipe, the remaining recipes disappeared.
Everyone seized the limited time and began to select elixirs to prepare for the next alchemy competition.
"Hey, there's something wrong with this herb!"
Because of the fusion of the inherited memory of Wanhuo Immortal Master, Xi Feng has an extremely strong ability to identify medicines. When he selected the fifty-one spiritual herbs for refining the low-grade Ancient Dao Pill from many herbs, he found that four of the main herbs had problems.
It's fake medicine.
"Why do fake medicines exist?" Xi Feng's face changed slightly, and an uneasy thought flashed through his mind: "Did something happen to Brother Gu?"
Not only were the herbs used by Xi Feng to refine the elixirs fake, but the herbs used by Yuwen Qingxing to refine the top-grade Tao elixirs were also mixed with three fake herbs.
With Xi Feng and Yu Wen Qingling's alchemy abilities, it was already a bit difficult to refine ancient Tao pills and top-grade Tao pills.
If the alchemy process is mixed with fake medicine, they have almost no chance of success.
"National Master, there is something wrong with the elixir in front of me!"
Yu Wen Qingling bit her lip lightly, looked up at Imperial Master Yanri with a cold and arrogant look, and shouted loudly.
"Yu Wen Qingling, the assessment place is not a place where you can yell and scream. Don't blame our master for driving you out of here if you act recklessly!"
Imperial Master Yanri's face darkened, he glared at Yuwen Qingling and warned in public.
"I, I..."
After hearing the warning from Imperial Master Yanri, Yuwen Qingling's expression changed.
At this time, she was basically certain that there was something wrong with her alchemy grass, and it was the Yanri Imperial Master who did it deliberately.
"Brother Gu, you must not let anything happen to you!"
Yuwen Qingling prayed for Gu Tiange while thinking of a solution.
"It seems that we can only use other herbs to replace these four fake ones!"
After much thought, Yu Wen Qingling and Xi Feng came up with an alternative method. Although this method was extremely risky, it was the only method they could think of at the moment.
"No matter what, let's make a bet!"
Yu Wen and Qing Ling took a deep breath and tried to calm themselves down. Based on the inherited memory of Immortal Master Wanhuo, they selected herbs to replace the fake ones among many herbs.
Soon, the time of one stick of incense passed.
"Okay, I announce that the alchemy competition has officially begun!" Yanri Imperial Master announced loudly: "You can start refining alchemy. Remember, you only have five hours to refine alchemy. Once the five hours are up, any
No one is allowed to make elixirs anymore."
"Phew, I must succeed."
Xi Feng took a deep breath, summoned the crimson alchemy furnace, activated the Suzaku elixir technique, and first refined nine elixirs to replace the four fake ones.
"唳唳!"
A series of harsh bird calls sounded.
Two Suzakus appeared on Xi Feng and Yu Wen Qingling's heads, spitting out hot semi-immortal fire, igniting the alchemy furnace and refining nine kinds of elixirs.
Soon, the nine elixirs melted and turned into the purest liquid droplets, suspended in the alchemy furnace.
After successfully extracting nine kinds of elixirs, Xi Feng and the two put the elixirs one by one into the hot alchemy furnace in order according to the inherited memory of Immortal Master Wanhuo, and quickly refined them.
In about half an hour, Yu Wen Qingling and others completed the refining and began to try to condense the elixir.
Although they found alternative herbs, they were somewhat affected, greatly increasing the difficulty of making alchemy and making them feel tremendous pressure.
"Fire mark, increase!"
Xi Feng's realm was too low, and it was too difficult to refine the Ancient Dao Pill. He soon became overwhelmed and had to activate the flame marks imprinted on his body, increasing the power of the Suzaku Immortal Pill and Semi-immortal Fire, and reducing his
pressure.
"Well, Yuwen Qingling and Xi Feng are quite capable, and they haven't failed yet!"
Imperial Master Yanri originally thought that Yuwen Qingling and the others would fail early, but after waiting for nearly two hours, the two of them were still refining the pill calmly, which surprised him.
"Bang!"
When three o'clock was approaching, a loud noise sounded.
A four-star pharmacist failed to control the restless flames, causing the furnace to fail. He was also injured by the power of the scalding flames.
Not long after, another pharmacist failed to make an elixir.
After about three and a half hours, only three four-star pharmacists had completed the alchemy.
One of them refined the top-grade Taoist elixir, the remaining two refined the top-grade Taoist elixir, and at least twenty pharmacists failed to refine the elixir.
As the fourth hour approaches, seventeen more people have finished refining the elixir, but nearly sixty pharmacists have failed in refining the elixir.
At this time, there were only about twenty people who had not completed the alchemy, and the others all ended the competition.
"Phew, there is still one hour left, success or failure depends on this!"
Yuwen Qingling and Xi Feng took a deep breath, swallowed the water of heavenly secrets in their mouths, and prepared to use the Suzaku Spirit Ascension Technique to forcibly sublimate the elixir in a last-ditch effort.
