Hua Shao squeezed out a cold snort from the tip of his nose: "I don't care, this will not only allow the seniors to easily understand the strength gap between us, but also allow some people who pretend to be fake to show their true colors. From this perspective In other words, it is indeed time to adjust our distance a little closer."
Muyun old ghost nodded slightly, then looked at Qi Zimo: "So, what about you, Zimo?"
"I..." Qi Zimo's expression was serious, his face was a little cloudy and uncertain, he felt faintly in his heart that Ye Zifeng's actions were definitely not as pleasant as he said, but in a short time, he couldn't think of the other party's intentions.
That being the case, why not be generous and see what tricks the other party wants to play.
"I don't care, it's acceptable."
"Okay, since neither of you has any objections, then follow Ye Zifeng's proposal..."
After getting the consent of the two people, Old Ghost Mu Yun gave the iron guards a wink, indicating that they could act.
She doesn't know exactly what Ye Zifeng's purpose is, but she knows that since Ye Zifeng is on the side with her apprentice, everything she does should be beneficial to the competition, and she doesn't mind helping the competition within the scope allowed by the rules. Ye Zifeng had a little dream.
So, after a while, the position of Ye Zifeng's alchemy furnace was placed in front of Qi Zimo and Hua Shao.
Each of the three alchemy furnaces forms horns, and they stand side by side in pairs, as if they were standing on top of each other.
"Now I announce that the second stage of the Pill Fighting Contest will now officially begin!" When Mu Yun's sharp and characteristic voice sounded, the expressions of the contestants suddenly became tense and solemn.
The difference from before is that this time since it is free alchemy, there is no necessary pill to be refined, and there are only three kinds of pills at most, so choosing the right medicinal materials has become the most important thing.
"Brother rough man, look, there are chalcedony grass, longzhi leaf, silver horn fruit, chijing lotus here, how about we refine the golden marrow pill?" Liu Bingqian lay on the pile of herbs and looked through them for a long time. Yan Ran smiled lightly.
"Bingqian, don't worry, let's take a look first." Ye Zifeng smiled unhurriedly.
Liu Bingqian showed a slight look of doubt, raised her head, and looked at the other two groups of people.
I saw that they were still staring at the dazzling array of medicinal materials carefully, and they were not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, they could only make three pills in total, and they couldn't just take the medicinal materials casually.
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly: "There is plenty of time, so don't be too anxious. You know, the most important thing in free alchemy is the quality of the elixir. The elixir that can be used during the qi refining period like Jin Sui Dan is obviously not high enough. .”
"Then... what kind of elixir should we refine..." A look of doubt appeared on Liu Bingqian's pretty face. She never made it to the second round of the Dou Dan competition, and ran away in despair every time, so that her skills in this area were almost a blank slate.
"Wait a little bit, there's no rush... I'll take the fight in the second stage of the competition myself." Ye Zifeng comforted Liu Bingqian with a weird smile on his lips.
"Really? That's great!" Liu Bingqian was delighted when she heard that Ye Zifeng was finally willing to do it herself.
During the first stage of the Pill Fighting Competition, except for lighting a fire at the beginning, Ye Zifeng retreated to the background for the rest of the time, which was equivalent to letting Liu Bingqian complete the alchemy alone.
But now, because of Qi Zimo's existence, even Ye Zifeng felt an invisible pressure and had no choice but to take action himself.
Of course, this is also because his current level is too low, he can't even condense Fan Huo, if under the same conditions, then Ye Zifeng can crush his opponent without a doubt.
"Look, Hua Shao over there can't help but want to make alchemy first..." Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, and winked at Liu Bingqian.
Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she immediately looked in Hua Shao's direction.
Sure enough, Hua Shao and his servants were very nimble. After tossing and fumbling among a pile of medicinal materials, they picked out such things as cemetery moss, sun grass, tranquilizing flower, mountain sage grass, and ghost mushroom. , all put aside.
"Looking at him like this, is he going to refine the Soul Cultivation Pill specially used by people in the martial arts realm?" Ye Zifeng nodded slightly, and at a glance he saw the pill that Hua Shao wanted to refine.
Liu Bingqian took a short breath and sighed: "Soul Yang Pill? Hua Shao is indeed a bit powerful. He was able to think of refining the elixir of the warrior realm in such a short period of time."
She has been suppressed by Yi Hao and Xu Zhen for so long before, and it is even more difficult for Hua Shao and others to hold her back. However, in fact, she is not too far behind the other party in alchemy level. The real gap is only in the selection of medicinal materials. .
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly, he was noncommittal about her evaluation, and turned his eyes to Qi Zimo, who was still staring at the pile of herbs, seemingly thoughtful, and looked at Ye Zifeng from time to time. Looking at him from here, he looks like he is waiting for Ye Zifeng to make alchemy first.
"Brother rough man... Then why don't we start alchemy too?"
Liu Bingqian glanced at Ye Zifeng uneasily, only to see him smile slightly at her, indicating that it's okay.
Although she felt a "thump" in her heart, after the first competition, her trust in Ye Zifeng had grown to the highest point, so no matter what he said, Liu Bingqian would accept his opinion.
As a result, after a long while, Qi Zimo was a bit young and energetic, he didn't hold back his youthful temper, after looking at Ye Zifeng again, he didn't want to wait any longer, he picked a few herbs from the pile of herbs, and prepared to start alchemy.
Although he just picked it up casually and moved extremely quickly, Ye Zifeng had already seen the clue, and frowned a little: "Qi Zimo's refinement is Taiwei Zhenyuan Pill."
"What? It turned out to be Taiwei Zhenyuan Pill?" Upon hearing the words, Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes flashed a strange color, and she couldn't help but think of the mysterious Taiwei Zhenyuan Pill that Wang Tianzhi obtained at the ladder meeting. Thinking that in such a short period of time, I have been able to witness the refining process of others.
"Okay, since they've already made their moves, let's start alchemy too." Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Zifeng turned around, his expression became serious.
Liu Bingqian looked a little flustered: "What should I do, big brother, they refine such a powerful pill, how should we deal with it?"
"Bingqian, where did the confidence you accumulated just now go?" Ye Zifeng smiled faintly.
"That can't be blind self-confidence. I had the confidence just now, and it wasn't because of your existence... Speaking of which, can I expect something for this second competition?"
Liu Bingqian stared at Ye Zifeng with a faint smile on her lips.
"At the very least, I will promise to help you win Hua Shao." Ye Zifeng nodded slightly and grinned.
"Really?" Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes sparkled with splendor.
She entered the second stage of the Fighting Pill Contest, and after getting rid of the bottom ranking, she is already satisfied. Now if she can make a great progress, she will naturally be overjoyed.
"However, is it really possible? Big brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Ye Zifeng paused for a while, then continued: "Bingqian, do you know why I proposed to adjust the distance between the three of us just now?" A gleam flashed in his eyes.
When Liu Bingqian was asked so coldly by him, she naturally didn't know what the answer was, so she could only stare at Ye Zifeng in confusion.
"Wait a while after refining the alchemy, you will understand."
Liu Bingqian saw that he was still playing tricks on her, a slightly resentful expression appeared on her pretty face.
Ye Zifeng's face suddenly changed, and his words were decisive.
"The medicinal materials I'm talking about below, you have to take them out of the pile of medicinal materials as quickly as possible, and put them in the pill furnace. Don't let others see them, understand?"
"Okay... okay." Liu Bingqian stared blankly at Ye Zifeng, thinking that alchemy is just alchemy, and what to do without letting others see, is it to refine some shady medicine
However, before she had time to think it over clearly, Ye Zifeng had already quickly reported the quantity and name of the herbs.
"Two evil mist grasses, two wild steel flowers, one golden thorn fruit..."
Liu Bingqian hesitated, a look of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, she hastily followed what Ye Zifeng said, took out the medicinal ingredients as quickly as possible, and put them into the alchemy furnace as quickly as possible, to ensure that even if others wanted to peek, He couldn't guess what kind of medicine Ye Zifeng wanted to refine.
On the other side, Ye Zifeng was like a door god, blocking the view from Qi Zimo's direction, and a slightly weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qi Zimo's sword slave was previously ordered to observe Ye Zifeng's movements, however, Ye Zifeng blocked his sight now, and Liu Bingqian's speed of taking the medicinal materials was extremely fast, there was no way to observe anything.
"Master, what should I do, because that Ye Zifeng is blocking it, I can't see what kind of elixir they want to refine!" His face was slightly bitter.
The expression on Qi Zimo's face was slightly stunned for a while, then he slowly raised his head.
"Unexpectedly, this Ye Zifeng wanted to plot against us from the very beginning, and regarded us as a real opponent."
Ye Zifeng blocked Qi Zimo, but did not block Hua Shao's line of sight, because he didn't pay attention to Hua Shao's strength at all.
From Ye Zifeng's point of view, even if Hua Shao watched the whole process of his alchemy, he might not be able to guess what kind of elixir Ye Zifeng wanted to refine.
"It's interesting... I can't hold back the first elixir. I refine it first. I don't know if he can catch my small flaw and drive me off the first place in the Pill Competition. Regarding this, I'm really looking forward to it more and more... "
Qi Zimo's eyes gradually brightened, he licked his lips with his tongue a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, that expression would only be shown when he saw a delicious prey.
