Soon she discovered that it was not just one person who was making the pill, but two people!
On a low mountain peak, two young men were facing each other from a distance.
Each of them placed a medicine cauldron in front of them. Flames rose inside the medicine cauldron, and pills as big as dragon eyes could be vaguely seen.
The strong medicinal fragrance emanates from here.
Next to the two of them, there was a stone platform each.
On one stone platform, there were several black jade tokens, but on the other stone platform, there was only one.
This seems like a competition!
There were several people standing around the two people, as if watching the battle.
And the black jade token placed on the stone platform should be theirs.
Chu Liuyue took a closer look.
The two young men looked like they were in their late teens or early twenties.
The one on the left is tall and thin, wearing a blue robe, and has a good appearance. At this time, his eyes are fixed on the elixir that is about to be completed in the medicine cauldron.
His originally fair face flushed slightly, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was obvious that he was at the end of his rope.
On the other hand, the man opposite him was dressed in crow-green brocade clothes and had deep features. Compared to the other man, the look on his face was much more relaxed.
It seems clear at a glance who will win and who will lose.
"It seems that Tuoba Xuan is going to win again."
Elder Qiao Yi seemed not surprised by this scene, stroked his beard and said.
"If he wins this one again, he will win five games in a row!"
Chu Liuyue followed his gaze and found that he was staring at the young man with profound features.
On the stone platform next to him, there are indeed most of the black jade tokens.
Obviously, everyone thought he would win.
Looking at the young man in blue robe next to him, there was only a solitary black jade token on the stone platform.
It should be his own.
Elder Qiao Yi noticed her gaze and saw a bit of curiosity in her eyes, so he smiled and explained:
"They're betting on Dan."
"Gambling pills?" Chu Liuyue was stunned for a moment.
"That's right. There are quite a few Tianyi students in the college, and they are not very convinced by each other, so they often gamble on elixirs."
"The two people participating in the elixir betting chose a time and place to compete. Whoever refines the elixir with a higher level and better efficacy will win. But what is different from ordinary competitions is that before the competition, they all You have to place your own bet. The bet can be anything. And everyone onlookers, before the game, also bet on who will lose and who will win."
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
"Besides, if you win the gambling pill, there should be other rewards, right?"
A simple bet doesn't seem to be enough to make these proud men flock to it.
It's okay to come once in a while, but if it happens often, it's really not necessary.
That time might as well be used to study elixir recipes.
Since so many people are so enthusiastic about it, there must be other reasons.
Elder Qiao Yi glanced at her appreciatively.
"You are very smart. These bets are actually not the point. The point is that whether Dan wins or loses will affect their points in the academy."
"integral?"
"In the academy, most things require different amounts of points to be exchanged. In other words, points are the hard currency in the academy, that is, 'money'. They can be used to exchange for medicinal materials, books, or Other items you want."
"When betting on pills, in addition to the usual bets, they often also bet on points. With this method, they can accumulate points very quickly. Of course, if they lose, they will have nothing."
Chu Liuyue nodded clearly and looked at the black jade tokens placed on the two stone platforms.
"Do people watching the game also bet points?"
"Yes. There are more and less, and the winning rates are different. These are all communicated by themselves in advance."
As long as it is normal to gamble on elixirs without causing any trouble, the elders of the college will support this. Normally, I won't interfere.
Elder Qiao Yi looked at her and smiled.
"What? You also want to take a gamble? You just entered the academy today, so you should have a hundred points."
Chu Liuyue curled her fingertips.
"This is a new student here. Is that okay?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Elder Qiao Yi waved his sleeves and flew downwards.
Chu Liuyue followed closely behind.
After noticing someone coming behind them, the few people who had been watching the battle turned around and looked back.
"Elder Qiao Yi!"
Seeing the face of the visitor clearly, several people quickly saluted.
Elder Qiao Yi waved his hand and said with a smile:
"No need to be formal! I brought you a new seedling who has entered the academy today!"
Several people looked at Chu Liuyue standing behind him.
Chu Liuyue cupped her fists and saluted to several people.
"I've met all of you senior brothers."
Several people responded politely, but they still looked at Chu Liuyue with a bit of doubt.
"I wonder what level this junior brother is now?"
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly:
"Eighth grade."
Several people's eyes showed a bit of understanding and vague contempt.
Elder Qiao Yi knew the urinary nature of these people best and couldn't help but chuckle.
"A sixteen-year-old eighth-grade heavenly doctor should still be quite popular among you, right?"
The students were startled, and the way they looked at Chu Liuyue was very different from before.
"Chu Yue, go, whoever you think will win, just put your black jade token on it!"
Elder Qiao Yi patted Chu Liuyue on the shoulder angrily.
After all, I helped bring it in, so I have to support the child!
A god-level warrior who practiced martial arts slapped half of Chu Liuyue's shoulders numb.
But fortunately, she had practiced hard with Dugu Mobao for a period of time, so her ability to resist beatings had improved a lot.
At this time, I can barely hold on.
Originally, gambling pills could no longer get involved at this point.
But Elder Qiao Yi had spoken, and it was hard for them to refute, so they had no choice but to agree.
That’s all, it’s just a welcome gift for the new junior brother!
Chu Liuyue took one look, then walked towards one of them, and then placed the black jade token on the stone platform.
The black jade token on the stone platform changed from one to two.
"Why-"
Elder Qiao Yi raised his hand and was about to stop him, but it was already too late.
"You kid!"
Didn't I just tell him that Tuoba Xuan would definitely win!
Just by looking at the number of black jade tokens on the stone platforms on both sides, you can tell who has a greater chance of winning!
Elder Qiao Yi felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.
When the people nearby saw this, they looked at each other with mockery in their eyes.
The sixteen-year-old eighth-grade heavenly doctor sounds quite bluffing, but it seems like he doesn't have much real ability, right
This is the last step of becoming a pill, and he still makes the wrong choice? !
Chu Liuyue didn't seem to notice this. After putting down her things, she walked back with a calm expression.
Elder Qiao Yi lowered his voice:
"Chu Yue, what are you doing? You only have 100 points, but after this game, almost all of them will be deducted!"
Chu Liuyue blinked.
"Betting on Dan, isn't it just about gambling?"
Yue: Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
