Bai Ruo naturally also noticed Murong's gesture of showing her face, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of darkness. Before, she had always thought that Murong Qingyan was only a third-grade alchemist at most. However, looking at Murong's face now, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to refine a third-grade medicinal pill.
The more advanced the medicinal herbs are, the more medicinal materials are needed. It is impossible to use hundreds of medicinal materials for the third-grade medicinal herbs. Even the fifth-grade medicinal herbs she refined did not use so many medicinal materials. What grade of medicinal pill is Murong Qingyan trying to refine
Thinking of this, Bai Ruo felt a little upset. It's because I don't know that I feel that way. At this time, she realized that many things were no longer within the scope of her expectations. It upset her.
On the rostrum, Wan Zushou couldn't help frowning after seeing Bai Ruo's appearance. For this apprentice, he still values it very much. However, he found that this apprentice seems to have changed a lot now. Before, Bai Ruo begged him, saying that he wanted to enter Qinglong Academy. For this reason, he also specially asked Yuan Li.
However, after not seeing him for a while, he found that Bai Ruo had changed a lot. He had also heard about the previous fights, and he couldn't believe that the ruthless person in those people's mouths was really his once well-behaved and kind-hearted apprentice.
In the current alchemy test, he could still see that Bai Ruo was absent-minded. He didn't know what Bai Ruo was thinking at the moment, but he had taught Bai Ruo before that he must concentrate on alchemy.
Looking at Bai Ruo on the stage, Wan Zushou couldn't help sighing deeply.
Bai Ruo on the stage didn't know at all that Wan Zushou was disappointed with her at this moment. At this moment, she has withdrawn her sight. Although she doesn't know what kind of medicine Murong Qingyan wants to refine, she knows that she can't afford to lose now. The only thing she can do now is to win the championship in this competition. Only in this way can she reverse everyone's impression of her.
Previously, she had planned to leave Qinglong Academy after this academy competition was over. However, it now seems that she has to stay for a while. Moreover, if she wants to poison Murong's face, then she must restore the good popularity before, so that she can better find opportunities.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruo began to force himself to calm down. Originally, what she planned to refine was an ordinary five-grade medicinal pill, but now she changed her mind after seeing the performance of Murong's face. Among the fifth-grade medicinal herbs, there is one kind of medicinal pill that is the most difficult to refine, and that is the fifth-grade Biluo Dan.
The so-called Shang Qiao Bi falls to Huang Quan, this Bi Luo Dan is able to pull back a person's life when he is about to die, and can save a person's life for at least two days. Don't underestimate two days, two days is enough to save a person's life.
However, although this Biluo Dan has a great effect, it is not an easy thing to refine. Biluo Pill is one of the most difficult to refine among the fifth-grade pills. It has very high requirements on the spiritual power of the alchemist, as long as it is a little careless, it is easy to waste the alchemy.
Bai Ruo also knew that at his current level, refining this kind of medicine pill was very difficult. But in order to win, she can only choose this kind of medicine pill.
After deciding what kind of medicine to refine, Bai Ruo didn't have time to pay attention to Murong Qingyan's affairs, and she devoted all her attention to refining medicine. The Biluo Dan she is refining now cannot tolerate any mistakes.
On the other side, Murong Qingyan was also concentrating on refining her own medicinal herbs. After she had taken out all the medicinal materials, she also released Xiaohong.
"Little Red."
After hearing Murong Qingyan's order, Xiaohong consciously threw her flame into the medicine cauldron.
After Xiaohong threw the flame into the medicine cauldron, Murong Qingyan secretly added a trace of the flame of the Earth's Heart into Xiaohong's beast fire, and the bright red flame had a hint of gold in it, making it even more pronounced. Domineering.
However, when Murong poured her face into the flames carefully, the flames of everyone else around her were extinguished at once.
God fire, ten thousand fire. The domineering of Shenhuo can be imagined. Although she is only releasing a trace of the flame of the Earth's Heart, it is enough to extinguish all the other flames around her.
For such a situation, Murong did not expect it before. However, after discovering it, she immediately suppressed all the domineering coercion of the Earth's Heart.
However, even so, everyone still cast doubtful eyes on Murong. Because no one knows what's going on. However, such an abnormal situation was obviously caused by Murong's face. Among the flames around, only the flame of Murong's face was not extinguished.
Facing the eyes cast by everyone, Murong Qingyan thought that she didn't know anything, and was still busy with the movements in her hands, as if what just happened had nothing to do with her.
Seeing Murong Qingyan's magnanimous appearance, everyone began to wonder if what just happened had nothing to do with Murong Qingyan at all? Or is this just a coincidence
Soon, everyone started a fire again. When they saw that the flames hadn't gone out again, everyone withdrew their eyes and began to continue alchemy.
After all, no one has evidence to prove that the extinguishing of the flame just now had something to do with Murong's face. Moreover, they are still in the competition now. The first thing they have to do is to refine the medicinal pills, instead of staring at others here.
However, the people who noticed such an abnormal situation were not only those whose own flames were extinguished, but also the people on the podium. After noticing such a situation, they all looked at Murong with a thoughtful look, then turned their heads and looked at Yuan Li.
Yuan Li is Murong Qingyan's master, and if Murong Qingyan really has a trump card, then Yuan Li should know.
Yuan Li wasn't a fool either, so he naturally noticed the gazes of others who were betting on him. However, his expression did not change, and he still focused on the people on the stage, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Yuan Li's appearance, everyone knows that even if he asks, he won't be able to ask anything. So everyone had to withdraw their curious eyes and continue to watch the competition. However, everyone obviously paid more attention to Murong Qingyan's side.
Murong Qingyan didn't care about other people's eyes at this time, because she had already started to purify the medicinal materials.
The purification of more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials is not an easy task, especially since the competition is still underway, and there is a time limit. This last competition only lasts four hours. If there are too many medicinal materials, it will take more than half of the time to purify them.
However, this was not a problem for Murong Qingyan at all. She had already taken out all the more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials, and then put the first medicinal material directly into the medicine tripod and began to purify it. Soon, the first medicinal material has been purified. Then, she immediately put in the second herb.
At the beginning, Murong Qingyan joined in the same way, and there was still a certain time interval. But as she went to the back, her speed became faster, almost as if it were produced on an assembly line. The same medicinal materials were thrown directly into the medicine tripod.
Such a speed also surprised those who have been watching the competition. The following people started to talk about it.
"Tell me, why is this Murong's face so fast! The speed at which this medicinal material is purified is really unbelievable!"
"Although I am not an alchemist, I also know that purifying medicinal materials is not an easy task! Can you really purify those medicinal materials at such a speed?"
"What kind of medicinal herb is this Murong Qingyan trying to refine? You see, she has used so many herbs."
Murong Qingyan didn't hear a word of what the people below were talking about. At this time, she was concentrating on purifying the medicinal herbs. Although it seems to outsiders, she does it all seem very simple. But only she herself knows that she must focus all her attention now, and she will not tolerate a single mistake.
On the rostrum, Wan Zushou looked at Murong Qingyan's performance, then turned his head to look at Yuan Li, "Yuan Li, this Murong Qingyan is the apprentice you accepted!"
"That's right." After hearing Wan Zushou's words, Yuan Li nodded with pride in his tone, "This girl has been studying alchemy with me for over a year, and her talent is indeed very high."
Wan Zushou naturally heard the proud tone in Yuan Li's words, but he nodded in agreement, "It can be seen that that girl is indeed very talented. Yuan Li, you are really lucky! "
For a long time, Yuan Li had no plans to accept apprentices. He originally thought that Yuan Li would have no successor. But now it seems that Yuan Li's fortune is better than his!
"How many alchemy masters is this girl now?" Wan Zushou asked curiously, "I can't see what rank she wants to refine."
After hearing Wan Zushou's question, Yuan Li shook his head, "I can't tell what kind of medicine this girl is going to refine. As for how many alchemy masters she is now, I'm not very interested. Clear. This girl has been practicing outside for a while, and has just returned. However, what I can tell you is that this girl was already a fourth-grade alchemist before she left."
Yuan Li didn't hide anything, because these things couldn't be concealed either. Especially now that Murong Qingyan is concocting alchemy on it, she is an alchemy master, I believe she will know soon.
After hearing Yuan Li's words, not only Wan Zushou, but also everyone else gasped. A fourth-grade alchemist? According to Yuan Li, Murong Qingyan had only studied alchemy with him for more than a year. In such a short period of time, he became a fourth-rank alchemist. What kind of talent is this!
You must know that in a year, if Murong Qingyan could become a second-rank alchemist, it would have made everyone fall into the shadows. Now Yuan Li told them that Murong Qingyan was already a fourth-rank alchemist some time ago. In just one year, it was incredible that Murong Qingyan could reach such a height. Ordinary people, if they want to advance from a first-grade alchemist to a fourth-grade alchemist, it is impossible without five or six years. Especially the further back you go, the more difficult it is to advance.
For a time, the eyes of everyone looking at Yuan Li were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. How could such a highly talented person become Yuan Li's apprentice? Why don't they have such talented students
Especially this Murong Qingyan, not only has a very high talent in alchemy, but also in cultivation. They didn't forget that in the previous competition, Murong Qingyan had a good second place, and Murong Qingyan was already a late Nascent Soul practitioner at such a young age.
Among them, the deans of the other three colleges were even more complicated. Because at the time of the entrance exam, they already knew that Murong Qingyan's talent was high. At that time, they also wanted to fight for Murong Qingyan to receive it from their sect. It's a pity that in the end Murong chose Yuan Li.
Now that they see the strength displayed by Murong Qingyan, how can their hearts be calm? If they had brought Murong Qingyan to their door, they would be the proud people now.
"You are so lucky." Wan Zushou couldn't help sighing.
"Your apprentice isn't bad either!" Yuan Li looked at Bai Ruo, who was proficient in purifying medicinal materials, and said, "At such a young age, she is already a fifth-grade alchemist, and her future will only be better than that of her. You go further!"
"Bai Ruo is indeed very talented in alchemy, but unfortunately -" Wan Zushou shook his head, "I haven't seen her for a while, I always feel that she seems to have changed a lot. I don't know what happened."
"Nothing happened to her in the academy." Yuan Li said after thinking about it, "Also, her popularity seems to be pretty good."
As for Bai Ruo, he is a friend's apprentice after all, so in normal times, Yuan Li still pays some attention. But he didn't notice anything unusual. However, in this competition, after seeing Bai Ruo's methods, he felt that he seemed to underestimate this person.
Of course, it was impossible for him to say these words in front of his friends. However, for this girl Bai Ruo, he just doesn't have a good impression.
Wan Zushou shook his head and said nothing. However, he also secretly made a decision in his heart.
On the other hand, Murong Qingyan finally purified all the medicinal materials when half the time had passed. Although her speed is very fast, she has too many medicinal materials to purify, so it takes a lot of time. By the time she had purified the herbs, many people had already started alchemy.
In this regard, Murong Qingyan was not in a hurry, because she knew very well in her heart that the more anxious she was, the more likely she would make mistakes. After purifying all the medicinal materials, she began to control her mental power and began to fuse the essences.
It is not an easy task to fuse the essence of more than 100 medicinal materials together. Murong Qingyan's attention was highly concentrated, and soon, a little bit of sweat appeared on her forehead. But she didn't have time to wipe it. At this time, her eyes were fixed on Yao Ding, and she didn't dare to move away.
This step is the most difficult one. Inside the medicine cauldron, the essence of more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials is constantly tumbling, surrounded by spiritual power, constantly merging together, then repelling, separating, and then merging again. With the passage of time, gradually, the essence of various medicinal materials finally began to slowly merge together.
When the essence of the medicinal herbs began to merge, Murong Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not dare to relax.
Finally, with the passage of time, the essence of all the medicinal materials finally merged together. Now there is only one last step left, and that is Cheng Dan.
At this time, more than half of the time has passed, and many people have become pills. Everyone put the elixir that they had refined into the jade bottle, and then stayed where they were, waiting for the passage of time.
At the end, in the center of the square, only Murong Qingyan and Bai Ruo were still concocting pills, and everyone else had already filled the pills into bottles. Everyone looked at Murong Qingyan and Bai Ruo, and were curious about the medicinal pills they had refined.
There was a sound of "Boom—", and everyone looked over, it turned out to be Bai Ruo, and she also succeeded in refining.
Bai Ruo opened his medicine cauldron and found two round medicinal pills lying quietly inside, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She finally succeeded in refining Biluo Dan.
Although she is a fifth-grade alchemist, her time to reach the level of a fifth-grade alchemist is still very short. Although she has been able to successfully refine a fifth-grade medicinal pill, she has never tried to make a medicinal pill like Biluodan. At the beginning, although she had already decided to refine Biluo Dan, she still had no idea in her heart, and she was not sure whether she would succeed.
If she fails, she has absolutely no second chance. What she didn't expect was that she succeeded once. Now that she has finally made Biluodan, she is almost certain that she will be the winner in this competition.
Bai Ruo, who was in a good mood, subconsciously looked in the direction of Murong's face after he collected his pills.
She couldn't help frowning when she saw that Murong's face had not yet become a dan. Because she really couldn't see through it, what kind of medicinal pill Murong was concentrating on refining. And the time is about to come, Murong Qingyan has not yet completed the pill, is the pill she wants to refine high-level
Thinking of this, Bai Ruo immediately denied the possibility. She was sure that her Biluo Pill must be the highest-grade pill in it. No matter what kind of elixir Murong Qingyan refined, it would never win her.
Moreover, Murong Qingyan has not yet completed the pill, and he does not know if it can be refined within the stipulated time. It would be better if Murong Qingyan couldn't finish it.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruo secretly prayed in his heart that it is best that Murong Qingyan has not finished refining after the time is up. If that was the case, then Murong Qingyan would definitely lose no matter what kind of medicinal pill he made. Moreover, in the future, Murong Qingyan is afraid that he will not have the face to come out to meet people.
It's a pity that God didn't seem to hear Bai Ruo's prayer. At the last moment, there was a sound of "Boom" from Murong's face. Everyone knows what's going on, it means that Murong's face has become a dan.
However, no one could see what kind of medicinal pill Murong Qingyan had refined. Because Murong Qingyan didn't take out the medicine pill, but put it directly into the bottle.
"Time's up!" Yu Aotian announced, "Now everyone stops what they are doing, and then listen to my call, bring up their medicinal pills, and the judges we choose will judge the grade of the medicinal pills. ."
Everyone held the bottle in their hands and waited for Yu Aotian's roll call.
"The first one, Zhu Wentian from Suzaku Academy."
Following Yu Aotian's roll call, a man took his medicinal pill and handed it over to several judges.
After being checked by the judges, one of the representatives stood up and said, "This is a third-grade foundation pill, a top-grade pill, a total of five pills."
Zhu Wentian had no objection to such a judgment. After taking back his medicinal pill, he returned to his seat and sat down again. His expression was very calm. Obviously, he didn't pay much attention to victory or defeat.
Perhaps it should be said that he also knew that he could not win. However, he was not discouraged by this. Being able to enter the final match, he felt that it was enough.
As a person stepped forward to hand over his medicinal pill, the judges also judged them one by one. However, these are only third- and fourth-grade medicinal pills, and fifth-grade medicinal pills have not yet appeared.
No one was surprised by this. Because there is an age limit for this kind of competition, in this age group, it is very good to be able to become a fourth-grade alchemist.
"The eighth one, Bai Ruo from Qinglong College."
After hearing his name, Bai Ruo smiled and came to the judges generously and handed over the medicinal pill he had refined. Then quietly waiting for the judges to judge.
