The Pharmacist Association is one of the most powerful forces in the world. {free novel}

If summoners and warriors represent powerful combat power, then pharmacists provide them with the most precious second life.

Legend has it that the most outstanding pharmacist in ancient times could even concoct a legendary elixir that stagnates time and brings the dead back to life.

In this world, although there is no pharmacist who can prove this legend, the most powerful pharmacist can also regenerate a broken arm and keep his face forever.

So pharmacist is a very awesome profession. They are weak, but they are sought after by all major forces. A master-level pharmacist is even more noble than a lord-level summoner.

This is not only the tradition of the Dahong Empire, but also the view of all humans in the entire Suzaku Continent towards pharmacists. Therefore, every five years, the Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition is held, and it is the most important event from the monarch to the common people in all countries.

Since more than a month ago, the little pharmacists who knew a little about alchemy and quenching medicine in various cities of the Dahong Empire flocked to the imperial capital of the Dahong Empire. Some are in order to participate in the competition and win a lottery. Some are purely for eye-opening. Maybe the little pharmacist in their eyes will become a master of alchemy that shocked the country in forty or fifty years, and they can witness their road to fame before the rise of the master, which will make all the little pharmacists talk about it for a lifetime Good luck!

Carrying the application form and badge for the preliminary round of the Dahong Empire Pharmacist Competition in her enchanting arms, she walked towards Lieyan Square step by step.

If other pharmacists want to participate in the competition in the imperial capital, they have to participate in the selection again and again from the township and the main city where they are located. However, the competition badge that old man Fay gave her was sold by Fay in the underground auction house of Baiyun City. After producing a large amount of precious spirit base liquid, they directly asked the black market boss for it.

In this way, Yaoluo would directly avoid the trouble of repeatedly participating in the preliminary rounds, and directly enter the semi-finals in Dahong Emperor's Capital.

Thinking about it, I feel that this is a super-large-scale national competition.

No matter which city in the Dahong Empire, there are no less than a thousand people participating in the competition in the city. The outstanding ones selected from the competition of thousands of people in the countless cities of the Dahong Empire will all gather in the imperial capital again.

Calculated in this way, the number of people participating in the semi-finals in the imperial capital is more than ten thousand!

And among these ten thousand, only ten people can go to the final stage of this year's Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition. Compete with the top pharmacists from hundreds of countries in Suzaku Continent!

To stand out in this cruel selection again and again, the difficulty is no less than stealing the dragon king's egg from the dragon's lair. In addition to the competition of strength, it also requires extremely strong patience and great luck to adapt to the weather.

Yaoluo doesn't feel nervous about this, because she is bound to win the No. 1 ranking in the Hundred Nations!

The age limit of the Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition is quite strict, only young people under the age of 25 are allowed to participate.

Pharmacists are not like summoners. Once promoted to the lord realm, they will have a long life of hundreds of years. Although some pharmacists also practice summoning skills, they spend a lot of energy on the pursuit of the quality of pills. No more than a hundred years of life.

The lifespan of a pharmacist is too short, so a 25-year-old pharmacist is more valuable to cultivate than a 90-year-old alchemy master.

Youth is what the Pharmacists Association values most.

After Yaoluo learned that even the Qilin King could not ask the Pharmacist Association to release Fayi, she secretly made up her mind that she must win the title of the first pharmacist under the age of 25 in Suzaku Continent!

"Everyone be quiet!"

The thick and resonant voice of the eighth-rank grand master summoner of the Dahong Kingdom, Hong Ba, once again wafted over the flame square.

But the originally bustling crowd fell silent instantly, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

This is the deterrent power of the sovereign. Tens of thousands of top pharmacists from all the cities of the Dahong Empire looked at the high platform with nothing in front of Lieyan Square in awe, and excitedly hoped to catch a glimpse of the real face of Lord Hong!

Yaoluo was also standing among the densely packed crowd. She knew that Hong Ba was a voice transmission from a hundred miles away, and the real body of the king did not appear hundreds of miles away.

The opening of the rematch in the Dahong Division of the Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition, which was hosted by the Lord of the Kingdom, showed how much the Dahong Empire attached importance to Bihan, the pharmacist.

Not only that, the blue sky casts huge shadows on the earth. They are not dark clouds hiding the sun, but huge birds and war beasts pulling gorgeous chariots of aristocratic families and sects to watch the ceremony in the sky. !

Three flamingoes pulling carts, my husband is bad: The evil president is not easy to mess with txt full version! The aura of the spirit beast's heavenly fire caused small flames visible to the naked eye to float around the chariot. That is the mount of which super family of Dahong! How imposing!

Not only the flamingos, but also countless other war beasts of the bird type gathered in the sky above the Lieyan Square in the capital of Dahong Emperor.

Two phoenix-like chariots! Four sky eagles cleared the way... All the powerhouses from several super families in the imperial capital have come!

What is raging in the sky is the chaotic pressure of war beasts!

"Aww!" A lion's roar resounded from the high platform of Lieyan Square, like a heaven-opening lion's roar.

A tall man in brocade robes immediately put his hands behind his back, standing in front of everyone with a posture of looking down upon the world!

Appeared out of nowhere!

Even though it is only half the size of a palm in the distance, the amazing deterrent power makes people feel like a mountain rising from the ground, but when you look up, you can't see the majesty and dignity of the peak!

That is the maharaja of the Great Hong Empire——Hong Ba! As soon as the lion king beast beside him came out, the huge birds in the sky that pulled the patriarch of the aristocratic family to watch the ceremony couldn't help trembling! The dark cloud-like shadows projected on the earth also swayed one after another!

Many participating pharmacists who were weak in body could not withstand the intimidation of the king and the great family, and collapsed to the ground, their faces turned pale, and they broke out in cold sweat.

It can't be said that these pharmacists have never seen the world, it's just that the body of a pharmacist is no different from that of ordinary people, and how can they bear the roar of a maharaja-level powerhouse and a divine beast!

Overlord Hong just appeared on the stage with the same pressure as he usually goes to court to discuss affairs, but for the tens of thousands of pharmacists waiting to participate in the Lieyang Square, it is tantamount to a powerful mental attack!

He didn't use any mysteries and combat skills, and just one appearance has already shown his powerful king-level deterrent power.

So tiny! Some participating pharmacists who collapsed on the ground felt stage fright in their hearts. Although this was a competition of pharmacists, they felt that they could only crawl on the back of the strong after seeing the supreme might of the Great Hong. feet.

Just when the participating pharmacists were too weak to hold on, a small and old voice sounded thinly from the back of the crowd.

"Master, don't scare my contestants like that."

This small voice was so ordinary, without any spiritual power in it, that I thought no one could hear it.

But the sound of the nymph's chirping came into the ears of the Great Hong King, Hong Ba, which made his face change, and then the coercion in his body disappeared immediately, as if what gave everyone a sense of the gap between the mountains and the mountains just now was just an illusion .

The strength on the shoulders of tens of thousands of pharmacists suddenly dropped, it was so weird! It's like an embroidery needle piercing the oncoming meteorite.

I saw Hong Ba respectfully clasped his fists in the direction where the voice came from:

"Grandmaster Heine, you are here!"

who is this It can make even the maharaja-level Hong Baguo bow down!

The crowd in Lie Sun Square immediately separated a wide avenue from the center. Everyone consciously and quickly stood aside, allowing a thin old man in gray clothes to open a big road along the crowd and walk slowly to the high platform ahead.

The old man's legs and feet are really not flexible, and it took him half a stick of incense to walk this distance of several hundred meters.

The aura of this gray-robed old man is absolutely the same as that of an ordinary old man, that is, there is no spiritual energy released, and there is no war beast to clear the way. But the strange thing is: in this boundless and endless sea of people, no one made a sound of impatience. Instead, they all followed the old man's back with scorching eyes!

Even the bird-type phantom beast in the sky that doesn't have long eyes accidentally whispered the shocking rules of the wedding night: Lord, I will wait for you to divorce your wife. They were all quickly killed by a family elder who jumped out of the carriage, and they were dealt with at an inhumanly fast speed. It seemed that even the slightest noise would desecrate the majesty of this old man.

Master Heine!

The highest alchemy master of the Dahong Empire Pharmacist Association!

Classification in the world of pharmacists: those who can refine primary elixirs are called pharmacists;

Those who can refine the ninth-rank to seventh-rank pills are called pharmacists;

Those who can refine sixth-grade to fourth-grade pills are called great pharmacists, and they are the most noble existences at the continental level. Even the lord pole summoner will pay three points;

And the alchemy master who refines the third-rank or above divine elixir is like an existence comparable to the ninth-rank overlord! Coupled with Heine's contribution to the Dahong Empire, it is enough to make the Lord Hong feel humbled and terrified!

Twenty years ago, during the battle between Dahong and the Crimson Demon Sea Demon Clan, Heine, who was still at the level of a great pharmacist at the time, finally used a first-grade life-returning pill that shocked the world and weeping ghosts and gods, miraculously saving the human coach Caton Hanze. Half of the remnant body that has been torn apart by the demon king and demons!

It's not the regeneration of a broken arm, but at the last moment of dying, Caton Hanze's half of the heart that had already burst was saved with the life-returning pill!

Legend has it that when the life-returning pill was born, the color of the sky and the earth in the sea of red demons changed, and there were afterimages of dragons singing and phoenix dancing in the sky, and the faint fragrance stretched for hundreds of miles, and there were many shocking and strange phenomena! The demons are in chaos!

And Heine's own energy was also crazily sucked by this domineering first-grade elixir for more than half, and his hair turned gray instantly, and his face was haggard.

But it was that first-grade divine pill that shocked the world and weeping ghosts and gods, so that the human coach who was on the verge of death rose again, leading millions of elite soldiers to defeat the demon sea! Killed Shura and Old Demon in the Scarlet Demon Sea bordering Dahong!

The first thing the human commander Carton Hanze did when he returned to the Dahong Empire was to announce to the world: Whoever dares to touch a hair of Heine's descendants in his Hanze family, the Hanze family will definitely mobilize and die Don't stop, kill him all over the house!

The Hanze family is a well-known warlord family in the Dahong Empire. Heine, who can get the sonorous oath of "Hanze's family is here, Heine's blood will last forever" from Caton Hanze's patriarch, can definitely stand up to the highest rank in the Dahong Empire. glory.

This is just one of the more prominent ones among the countless deeds in Heine Yaozong's life.

Eighteen years ago when the eldest son of Emperor Da Hong was born, the imperial concubine suffered a bloody collapse, and it was Heine who rescued her with the Eternal Blood Elixir. In every three generations of the Felicity family, there must be a young offspring who dies prematurely, and it is only by relying on Heine's magic medicine that they can continue to live...

In the final analysis, all the super families in the empire have a great relationship with this shriveled and weak little old man in front of everyone!

Not with combat power and coercion, but with a trick to rejuvenate, prolong life and save life, so that all the lords and lords respect him. This is the real deterrent power of a master-level pharmacist.

Just watch Grandmaster Heine's appearance to understand how powerful an old pharmacist's aura can be!

Tens of thousands of people didn't even dare to breathe, and even the strong king respectfully restrained his spiritual power and powerful beasts when he saw him appear on the stage, and bowed his fists on the high platform to welcome him!

Looking at this old man, Chan Weiwei, who was older than ordinary people, all the little pharmacists present had a surge of pride in their chests! The pharmacists who were intimidated by Hong Ba's powerful appearance just now found a bright light on the way forward.

"One day, I will become such a person! Stronger than a summoner! More noble than a lord! Let the nobles be proud to befriend me! Let my name be engraved in the history of Dahong Wandai forever! "

The contestants preparing to participate in the flame square have fallen into madness.

Suzaku's Apothecary Association is an independent organization separated from all empires. In a sense, this kind of Grandmaster Heine, who has made outstanding contributions to the field of pharmacology, is no longer a subject of the Dahong Empire.

It was just because he was born in Dahong and had a constant friendship with Dahong, so the Pharmacist Association appointed him to preside over the evil blacksmith in the Dahong Empire competition.

Otherwise, in Dahong's land on weekdays, this venerable Medicine Sect would no longer be found.

The distinguished old man who hadn't seen him for many years, Grandmaster Heine, still so unassumingly dressed in a gray robe, came on foot.

"children."

Grandmaster Heine, who finally walked up to the high platform, finally started to speak:

"The five-yearly Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition has officially started. All of you present are the most outstanding young pharmacists in every city of our Dahong Empire."

"Your vigor and enthusiasm remind me of my passion back then. I spent sleepless nights studying crude prescriptions, and walked with mercenaries to find herbs in the dangerous mountain forest. I hope to rely on my own small power to save more people. This is a great profession, and the Pharmacists Association welcomes you!"

"Although there are more than ten thousand contestants, only a mere ten of you are eligible to go to Zhongzhou with me to participate in the final of the Hundred Nations Competition. I hope that everyone will regard this protracted competition as the first event in their lives." No matter what the final result is, I wish everyone can improve their pharmacological skills in the process and find the right path to become an excellent pharmacist."

The tens of thousands of pharmacists gathered in Lieyan Square were immediately mesmerized by hearing a Medicine Sect speak, as if falling into a dream. This is a heartbeat moment worth remembering for a lifetime.

Heine Yaozong's old face made people feel old and unbearable, but his pair of shining eyes gave people infinite hope and vitality.

The Hundred Nations Pharmacist Competition has never announced the method of selecting winners in advance, in case some contestants only practice the process of making one kind of elixir in advance. So everyone stared at Heine Yaozong's face seriously, afraid of missing any of his expressions.

Standing in the crowd, Yaoluo stood on tiptoe to see the scene on the high platform. There are really too many pharmacists from all over the world who came to participate in the competition this time. It is said that the age limit is 25 years old, and nearly half of the 25-year-old adult pharmacists have come. From a little pharmacist who was born as an ordinary person, to an aristocratic disciple who wears gold and silver belts with extraordinary bearing... everything is included.

"Since everyone is waiting anxiously, I will stop nagging you youngsters and make me gossip. On behalf of the Suzaku Continental Pharmacist Association, I announce that the competition in the Dahong Empire Division of the Hundred Nations Pharmacists Competition has officially started!"

Heine's voice suddenly raised an octave. Hundreds of middle-aged pharmacists dressed in white great pharmacist robes also rushed to the flame square on giant beast mounts from afar, and quickly melted into thousands of contestants!

Those hundreds of figures in white pharmacist robes were particularly eye-catching in the crowded crowd!

"Why do so many middle-aged pharmacists in white robes also blend into the crowd?"

"Isn't it just the opening ceremony of the competition?"

The sudden appearance of hundreds of white-robed pharmacists immediately caused a lot of excitement among the participants!

"These people are also here to compete? No, they are obviously over twenty-five years old!" A tall pharmacist in front of Yaoluo made a questioning voice.

"No, no, with such a uniform attire, it is obvious that he is a member of the Pharmacist Association who came with Grandmaster Heine. I don't know what the purpose of coming here is." Immediately someone beside him replied.

"Could it be! Could it be!" Suddenly someone yelled in panic, turned around enchantingly, and there was a badge of the branch of the Pharmacist Association pinned to the chest of the young man who made the call. It turned out that he was a young student of the Pharmacist Association.

This young man had obviously guessed the real purpose of Grandmaster Heine's arrangement of so many white-robed pharmacists to mix into the crowd!

Because after he yelled, he covered the corners of his mouth very carefully, then took out his medicine cauldron, and started to heat it up secretly.

Enchanting slightly frowned, she caught a glimpse of a white-robed pharmacist walking towards the young man who was secretly heating the medicine cauldron, so she retracted her right hand that was about to take out the reincarnation cauldron from the beast control ring. But in my heart, I have already prepared.

On the high stage, Heine Medicine Sect had a sly smile on his face, and he looked at the tens of thousands of contestants who were less excited in the audience with satisfaction, because he knew that what he said next would make them even more excited!

"There are too many contestants this time. Before taking you to the semi-finals, I can only unfortunately eliminate more than half of them. Please pay attention to time and quality!"

After all, the skinny old man standing on the high platform quickly took out a thin piece of incense from his sleeve and lit it, then excitedly raised the burning incense, and started laughing and shouting:

"Within the time of one stick of incense, sacrifice a cauldron of alchemy medicines. There is no limit to the variety! Only those whose quality reaches the eighth rank will be eligible to participate in the next round of competition with me!"

The sound of the pinching of the sea is like a stone thrown into the sea, stirring up thousands of waves with one blow!

I rely on! How cheating!

Start the test without saying hello!

Everyone looked at the thin incense burning at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if seeing a heavy bomb tied under the incense, if they hadn't made a tripod of eight-grade pills after the point was over, , that blockbuster will definitely blow them all to pieces!

The tens of thousands of participating pharmacists in the flame square suddenly fell into a chaotic wail!

Already spent a whole morning queuing up to review qualifications and enter the arena, who would have thought that Master Heine Medicine Sect would suddenly make such a surprise attack when the sun was about to set!

This is not a game! Before the official competition, more than half of the people should be eliminated!

Whoever loses the chain now, even if the medicine cauldron hasn't been covered with heat, has to pack up and go home! Then the pharmacist at home would laugh out loud!

The distance between ten thousand people has been rapidly widened. On average, each person occupies a full square of open space for the operation space of refining elixir.

Generally, pharmacists who are capable of participating in the competition will carry their handy medicine cauldron and basic herbs with them. The eighth grade elixir is not a difficult task for the pharmacists who have gone through the town and city competitions to come to the imperial capital to participate in this competition.

Because only the alchemist who can basically maintain the level of refining medicine at the seventh to ninth grade pills on weekdays will be certified as a "pharmacist" by the Pharmacist Association.

Among the tens of thousands of people present, except for the contestants like Yaoluo who came in through abnormal channels, basically all of them have passed the "pharmacist" certification procedures of the branches of the local pharmacist associations, and some of them are even members of the pharmacist associations. A proud young student.

But now these experienced and dignified pharmacists are in a hurry because of the content of the test that does not sound difficult for Grandmaster Heine.

Time is a great constraint! The time for a stick of fine incense, from heating the medicine cauldron to grinding the herbal medicine to the final elixir and refining, if these complicated processes are to be completed in one go, it must be the basic pharmacist who has trained tens of thousands of times. No hesitation or thinking is allowed, and the basic skills are regarded as an innate instinct like breathing.

This is not the most critical, except time! The biggest difficulty lies in the chaos of the medicinal herbs!

These distinguished pharmacists who are respected by the family and hired by the mercenary association on weekdays get the best resources and the best environment for alchemy. During the refining process, it is very vulnerable to changes in quality and medicinal properties caused by drastic changes in the external environment.

Now tens of thousands of people are concocting pills in a small space at the same time, and there is no restriction on the types of pills! The scents of various basic herbs are mixed together, and the chaos is so chaotic that it makes people crazy!

If you are refining a tripod of cold blood coagulation pills, and the person next door to you suddenly takes out the positive blood gauze grass and starts grinding, once the breaths are mixed with each other, not only the efficacy and quality of the cold blood coagulation pills will drop directly, but even The blood yarn grass that is still the raw material will also lose its original medicinal power.

The bloodshot eyes of the pharmacists saw that the nearby competitors were all offering different kinds of raw materials, and they immediately had the urge to rush forward and eat them all alive!

This perverted test is to test their speed and their ability to purify the elixir! In such a harsh and chaotic environment, it is necessary to maintain the quality of the eighth grade of pills! It is no less difficult than refining a cauldron of seventh grade pills in peacetime!

There are also a small group of pharmacists who formed a temporary alliance in an instant, and at the same time tempered the elixir with the same medicinal properties, which to a certain extent eliminated some chaotic medicinal energy.

There are also a few pharmacists who want to fish in troubled waters, and even secretly take out the eighth-grade ready-made medicine that they happen to carry with them from their sleeves, pretending to be a newly refined product. It's a pity that they were thrown out of the crowd by the pharmacist supervisors in white robes before they could put the proprietary medicine in the cauldron, and they lost their qualifications for the competition!

Even the young man who secretly warmed up the cauldron at the beginning was forcibly replaced by a new copper cauldron for pharmacists by the white-robed pharmacist supervisor.

The hard-working young man who lost his handy medicine cauldron because of being too narrow-minded, started to heat up the furnace cauldron again while grimacing. Feel as depressed as you want.

Enchantingly looked around at the contestants around her.

The man on the left was obviously half-scared by the sudden pick-up test, and began to check his medicine bag at a loss, and accidentally mixed some medicines that were incompatible with each other. Complete the test within one stick of incense.

On the right is the hard-working young man who changed to a new cauldron. Although he is very skilled in refining medicine, he missed the best time to refine the medicine because he was not familiar with the heating time of the new cauldron.

Behind him is a lean young man in his twenties, looking at his raw materials, he seems to be refining pesticides. Although insecticides are not considered elixir in the strict sense, as long as they are poisonous, they can still be refined into the quality of the eighth-rank elixir. I don’t know if he can pass the review...

But the strong man in front of the enchanting body sacrificed a strange furnace.

As soon as the crimson medicinal cauldron came out, the temperature in the air suddenly rose to a terrifying level, and the entire furnace cauldron was enveloped in flames! Like a huge fireball, no outside breath can invade the cauldron, but the medicine he is refining emits a strong burst of blood from under the flame!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Hearing the muffled sound of exploding pills from several places around, the pharmacists who were refining Ningshen Pills within a radius of ten meters were all furious to find that the Ningshen Pills in their medicine cauldron had burst open one after another!

Affected by the strong breath of the bursting blood pill from the strong man, Ningshen Wan couldn't even condense the pill shape!

What a domineering method! Not only is there a strange medicine cauldron that isolates the influence of other competitors, but also the Explosive Blood Pill with the most powerful breath is specially selected for refining!

However, Yaoluo didn't think that the strong man had done too much. It was a fair competition, and everyone had the right to choose their own special medicines for refining.

Those ignorant pharmacists who tried to condense the Ningshen Pill in such a chaotic situation were simply trapped by the door. Ningshen Wan has such high requirements on the purity of the refining environment, even if it does not explode, it will not be able to condense above the ninth grade!

This kind of pharmacist who doesn't use his brain to make alchemy should be kicked out of the competition as soon as possible!

Looking at the domineering man's figure, Yaoluo suddenly thought of what kind of pill she should make!
