Master Zhang pointed to a large box behind him. There was an opening at the top of the box, big enough to put his hand in.
"Wait a minute, everyone can come up and draw a piece of paper. Your test questions this time are written on the paper. On it is the name of a random second-level elixir. After drawing the test questions, you can receive three copies. Corresponding medicinal materials. Your task is to use these three medicinal materials to refine a batch of elixirs. Depending on the quality and quantity of your elixirs, you will get different scores."
"Now, everyone, come up and draw lots!"
After Master Zhang finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to come forward.
Since the order of drawing lots for the second round was determined based on the ranking in the first round, Huang Yueli stood at the front of the team and was the first to draw lots.
She stood still in front of the box, but did not reach out immediately. Instead, she turned to Master Zhang and asked: "Master Zhang, there are some things I don't understand about the rules you just mentioned, and I want to ask you for advice."
Master Zhang said politely: "Miss Bai, please speak."
Huang Yueli asked: "We received three portions of the medicinal materials. If the first portion of the medicinal materials has successfully made the elixir, should I apply for scoring immediately, or should I continue to use the next portion of the medicinal materials to make the elixir?"
Master Zhang couldn't help but be stunned, "What do you mean..."
Seeing his confusion, Huang Yueli thought that she had not explained clearly, and quickly explained: "What I mean is, in addition to the quality of the elixir, whether the total number of elixirs is more, the score is higher, or the time to complete the refining is faster, the score is higher. High? If the competition is about speed, I don’t need to continue refining the second batch of elixir."
This question has a major impact on the score. Huang Yueli was afraid that after refining three batches of elixirs, her score would not be high, so she had to ask clearly.
After hearing this, Master Zhang looked even more stunned.
Because it wasn't that he didn't understand the question Huang Yueli asked, but he didn't expect that someone would ask such a question!
After a long while, he came back to his senses and said: "Uh... this question... this is a good question! I didn't think it through clearly. Well, the time of the competition is fixed, limited to two hours. If during this time, If you can refine more than one batch of elixirs, your score will be doubled!"
Hearing this, Huang Yueli's eyes lit up, "Really? Great! Thank you for answering my question."
Master Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You're welcome..."
He didn't say anything, but he was shocked in his heart. Could it be that she really thought that the second-level elixir was so easy to refine
Master Zhang was embarrassed to speak directly, but Feng Xiaoyan, who was standing behind Huang Yueli, listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help laughing.
"I said, Bai Ruoli, why are you asking this? Do you know that a second-level alchemist who refines ten furnaces of pills can usually only produce one furnace? Now, I only give you three in total. It’s just medicinal materials. If you can make one furnace, it’s like burning high-quality incense! Do you want to make several furnaces? Are you kidding me?”
Huang Yueli blinked, "What? So that's what it is..."
She was really a little surprised, because when she refined the second-level elixir, she never failed unless the little phoenix came out to cause trouble.
She thought that even if ordinary alchemists did not have such a high success rate as hers, they would still have at least 50% to 60% success rate!
Who knew that second-level elixirs would be so difficult to refine
