Besides, if it really comes to a competition in refining medicine, Lin Qinghen is somewhat confident.
If we win something, it will give some encouragement to the Yin family. Those are the relics of our ancestors and we can't let them ruin them like this.
The other party came for Diemeng, and probably only knew Lin Yunsi. They should also be aware of Li Yan's existence, but did not take it seriously.
So what they must not understand is that during these three months, Li Yan had been cured. He was able to endure the pain, and with Lin Yunsi's medicine, he recovered quickly. His suppressed alchemy talent recovered quickly.
There are few but skilled people who dream of butterflies, and their chances of success are not small.
Although Lin Qinghen had decided on his own during the banquet, the chief alchemist of Diemeng was Lin Yunsi. After the Yin family dispersed, Lin Qinghen discussed the matter with him.
"Everyone knows that Huayu Sword Fairy saved Lincheng, and they are using her relics to threaten the Yin family. How shameless," Lin Yunsi said with a stern face after hearing this, looking very indignant, "Fuck him!"
Lin Yunsi agreed, and Li Yan had no problem with it. Although he was younger than Lin Yunsi in age, they were still of the same generation. When they were between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, their true talents would be revealed after they recovered.
The progress of alchemists in the early stages of cultivation will be faster than that of combat spiritualists, but will become slower and slower in the later stages. Jin Diemeng and the other two have already broken through to the first level of the first star at a young age.
"Okay," Lin Qinghen patted his shoulder, "Fight well. If you win, feel free to ask me for something. I'll give you everything I can."
Lin Yunsi snorted: "Don't underestimate me, I am much stronger than before. If you ask the girl from the Yuan family to compete with me again, I may not lose."
Since he came to the City of Tears, he had been tempered in many aspects. Not only had his spiritual power level been improved, but the overall quality of his medicine refining had also improved.
The improvement of a pharmacist is not only at the 6th level. Just like a combat spirit master is affected by combat awareness and experience, the quality of the pills created by the pharmacist is also affected by many aspects.
The purification technique taught by Lin Qinghen can be integrated into the process of refining medicine. Although the improved medicine base is only suitable for upper and lower yellow grades, the smoother medicine refining experience will give people inspiration. Lin Yunsi is a smart person and knows how to draw inferences from one example. He has made progress in many aspects.
Especially in the past few months, he and Li Yan have made progress together in refining medicine and discussing together. Lin Yunsi has a solid foundation of knowledge, and Li Yan is gifted with strong cognitive ability. When these two people collide, they complement each other and gain something.
Lincheng came for Lin Yunsi, wanting to find out what was going on with Die Meng, so there were a total of six alchemists who came, all between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, which was exactly the right age.
In order to cope with the situation, Lin Qinghen had to find two more to fill in the gaps.
The Tear City Alchemist Association gave him two people, and Fu Qingping took the initiative to come to them and sent him two people. In terms of talent, they were the best he could find.
This person knew about the news of the Spirit Demon Rift in advance and reaped the benefits. After getting along with each other for such a long time, he probably also understood the other party's personality and knew that Lin Qinghen was indeed an honest person. As long as they did not play tricks, he would be good to all partners. It can be said that he would let bygones be bygones.
It wouldn't be dangerous for the alchemist to go on stage for the competition. The other party came to explore Diemeng's background, so they naturally wouldn't focus on Haihun City.
It was just to make up the numbers for Lin Qinghen. If he won, it would be great, but if he lost, it didn't matter. Fu Qingping was still quite happy.
The alchemist competition also had prizes. Lin Qinghen symbolically took out a few high-grade spiritual plants, and Qin Xiang took out not only high-grade spiritual plants but also three high-grade old items from the Yin family. If they won this competition, it would be considered a favor to the Yin family.
Apart from considerations of profit, Lincheng did a really good job in this matter.
Beizhou was rescued by the Yin family. In the spirit world, it is common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. However, he found it a bit disgusting to use the relics of one's savior like this. He would never do such a thing.
"These two are the best that Haihun City can pick," Fu Qingping said, "I hope Young Master Lin's flag will win."
Having said that, he also reminded Lin Qinghen that there was a second-star level 3 player in the alchemist team who was a year older than Lin Yunsi, so they were just on the same level and could compete on the same stage according to the competition rules.
This is one star higher, so I'm afraid the chances of winning are slim.
The three old items from the Yin family are all prizes for first place, and Qin Xiang set them up this way on purpose. If Die Meng loses and they can't get the items back, the Yin family will have no choice but to go all out.
Lin Qinghen also knew this, but Lin Yunsi didn't seem discouraged after hearing the news. She curled her lips and whenever she had time, she would pull Li Yan together to whisper. All Lin Qinghen could do was to try to buy them some time.
Since there are six people on each side, the preliminary round will be in a one-on-one format, so there will be six games. The six winners can enter the next round and then draw lots to compete. The winners will enter the top three, and the top three will be ranked higher.
That's ten competitions in total, and he has to take a break after each one. Lin Qing sells seats and tickets to outsiders, and is also the banker in the betting game. It's a mess, enough to delay him for a month.
The one-on-one preliminary round is not randomly drawn by lot, but each side determines the players to play.
There is no need to use all your strength at this time. The strong against the weak just need to make sure you can get through the first round.
"In the first round, Li Yan, the opponent is the worst one in the team, only a five-star Xuan rank. You don't need to use your full strength, just pretend a little," Lin Qinghen said, "Yun Si doesn't need to fight the strongest one either, pick the second one and win the first round first."
The Shen family's talent can be controlled, and each time the spiritual essence is summoned out during alchemy, it only takes a moment, and can be completely concealed by the flame-like spiritual energy so that it will not be discovered for the time being.
Furthermore, if one deliberately restrains oneself during the process of refining the elixir, the additional effect of one's talent on the elixir will not be revealed.
It's just the preliminary round, so Li Yan's abilities can be kept secret and saved for the finals where he can use them as an unexpected trump card.
The fact that Lincheng and Leicheng were setting up a competition arena attracted a lot of people. The betting before the first game was very lively, and when Liyan played the first game, no one thought he would win.
Lin Qinghen was the banker, watching the odds on Li Yan's side getting higher and higher.
There were some people in the city who believed that Diemeng had suppressed Liyan. They always felt that Lin Qinghen would not do anything reckless. On the day of the official competition, the entire stadium was packed with too many people watching the fun.
In the preliminary round, two batches of medicine are usually refined, and then the best one is selected for comparison to prevent poor performance.
The other party had obviously inquired about his opponent and had no intention of taking him seriously. He went on the court proudly amid the cheers of the whole audience, thinking that he would definitely win this time.
Everyone thought that Diemeng's trump card was Lin Yunsi. Diemeng was aiming for the first place. After all, only the first place prize was meaningful to them. Li Yan was just here to make up the numbers.
But as soon as Li Yan came on the stage and summoned his medicine cauldron, the other party's expression became a little strange.
This medicine cauldron is much better than his.
In this type of competition, the medicine cauldron must be brought with you. After all, this is also part of the alchemist's strength, and a good medicine cauldron will definitely have an advantage.
This medicine cauldron originally belonged to Lin Yunsi. It was loaned to him before, but now it has been half-given to Li Yan.
Afterwards, Li Yan instantly released his spiritual power, and the medicine cauldron was slightly lifted up by him. This puzzled not only the people on the stage, but also the people below, causing a round of whispers.
Wasn't this Li Yan an ordinary Yellow Rank before? But judging by the way he was releasing spiritual power, he must be at least a Mysterious Rank.
This... is wrong.
Those who had placed the bet looked strange from the moment they saw it.
This is a sure win, there's no way it'll go wrong, right
The discussed Li Yan was always indifferent after he came on the stage. His expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his head to make medicine as if this was not a competition.
Just like before, he never showed off his skills when refining medicine, and used every bit of his spiritual power in the most appropriate place.
After the first batch of medicine was refined, the result was that the one from Lincheng was slightly better, but the difference was not big.
Li Yan was not in a hurry either. He took a look at the quality of the pill, as if he had confirmed something. When he came back from the intermission to refine the second batch, his hands became more accurate, as if he was refining it closely following the other party.
When the second batch of medicine came out, after comparing them, the one made by Liyan was better.
Comparing the two games, Li Yan narrowly won by a tiny margin, as if it was just luck.
His opponent was very upset and always felt that this person's victory was unfair.
"His medicine cauldron is better than mine!"
"It's just luck!"
"Let's have another match. I will definitely not lose!"
But if you lose, you lose. There is no point in making excuses. The result cannot be changed.
The spectator area was bustling with ups and downs, and many people bet on the wrong bets and lost money. This duel became famous overnight.
In addition to so much discussion about Li Yan's promotion, everyone always felt that Lin Qinghen saw something when he was recruiting people and brought him here on purpose. The fact that Lincheng used the Yin family's relics as a prize was also spread.
Many people felt ashamed, and what's more, those who lost money were unreasonable. They thought it was a sure win, so many people bet a lot of money, but who knew they lost it all. They were even more dissatisfied with these people in Lincheng.
They felt that this was because they overestimated themselves and underestimated their opponents, otherwise how could they have lost
Wang Yulin and his group of idiots with their eyes on their foreheads! They are like a bunch of useless people who can't help themselves. Thinking about it makes me even more upset.
Not long after, a real conflict broke out in the city.
The team of more than 40 people from Lincheng were staying in the largest inn in Leicheng, but they were all young and it was impossible for them to stay in the inn obediently for a whole month.
The City of Tears has been bustling lately, especially the established medicinal pill market. I always go out for a stroll, thinking of buying something suitable.
Not long after the match, at the critical moment, these young and energetic people in Lincheng started to have an unpleasant experience with the mercenaries who came to Tear City. They had a big fight in the city center and the whole city knew about it.
I heard that it was because when he went out, he heard the mercenaries swearing because they lost money, and then they started fighting after a disagreement.
And Wang Yulin hasn't won the battle yet.
No matter how talented these people are, they are not fully grown after all. They sneaked out at that time, and Qin Xiang was not around. The scattered mercenaries in Beizhou were not afraid of anyone. Anyway, they had no fixed place to live. They would run away after beating people up. Once they were out of the city, no matter how powerful they were, they could not find them. They could just come back after the limelight had passed.
The current City of Tears is in such a free and unrestrained state. It is indeed a bit chaotic. Wang Yulin is like a greenhouse in comparison. I guess those young people are not used to such an environment.
Lin Qinghen was quite happy to hear this, as he was pleased to hear that the rude Song Lingyang was pushed out again and beaten the worst.
To be honest, that was definitely not sent by him, it was just an accident.
But this is indeed a good thing for the Yin family. In addition to venting their anger, they can also test out the spiritual essence and strength of some of the people.
The Yin family was watching closely and recorded everything clearly.
