One thing down one thing.
Low-level pills may not necessarily be better than high-level pills under certain circumstances. The previous spirit-absorbing pill is a good example.
Once Qi Zimo successfully refines the Explosive Spirit Pill, there is no doubt that the Absorbing Spirit Pill that Ye Zifeng refined before will lose its effect and become a useless pill.
This is the way of restraint in alchemy.
Ye Zifeng's eyes flashed, he turned back and said to Liu Bingqian: "Bingqian, you block Qi Zimo's sight for me, this time I will choose the herbs myself."
Interfering with the enemy's line of sight is still an important point in a master duel.
Liu Bingqian was overjoyed when she heard the words: "Really? Are you finally willing to do it yourself?"
"Before I didn't do anything, it was to win some face for you and let everyone know that Liu Bingqian's alchemy level is definitely not something they can laugh at. But, now it's such a critical time, if I don't do anything, then It’s a little too big…”
Liu Bingqian nodded as if she had realized something: "Brother rough man, you have thought about it so much, I thought you were..."
"Do you think I'm being lazy?" Ye Zifeng coughed, a little embarrassed.
"I didn't say that, big brother, as long as you are willing to make a move."
Liu Bingqian stuck out her tongue, giggled lightly, no matter what Ye Zifeng said at the moment, she kept nodding her head, as if she felt a sense of relief.
The corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth twitched slightly, he shook his head with a faint smile, got into the pile of medicinal materials, and began to pick them out with his own hands.
When he grabbed the medicinal materials, he was by no means as delicate as Liu Bingqian, but he took a casual look, and he grabbed a handful.
The old ghost Mu Yun was watching from the side, and couldn't help being dazed: "No way, the way this kid grabs the medicine is too rough. He's either a novice at the beginning or a veteran who has been soaked for half his life. But according to his age, It should be the former."
Yang Jing giggled, and said lightly: "Old Ghost Master, I came back too quickly yesterday, and I forgot to tell you about one thing."
"What's the matter?" Old Ghost Mu Yun replied casually.
"Ye Zifeng successfully refined the Chunyang Pill before, and it was done in one go."
The old ghost Mu Yun said "Oh" and didn't really care, but after a long while, she turned around with a surprised face and stared at Yang Jing in a daze.
"What are you talking about, refining Chunyang Dan once? Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?" Her expression was a little messy, and she was so surprised that even the beard on her chin was about to fall off.
Yang Jing bit her red lips: "This... old ghost master, you never asked me."
…
Ye Zifeng's action of picking medicinal materials was simple and rough, and he picked a large amount in a short time.
"Brother rough man, why do we need so many medicinal materials? With such a large amount, even two can be made?" Liu Bingqian squinted her eyes and asked in surprise.
"Bingqian, listen, the pills we need to refine this time are two..." Ye Zifeng thought about it for a moment, raised his head with a smile and said, but he already had a plan in mind.
Liu Bingqian nodded as if she had realized something: "Could it be that you want to have a batch of double pills like the first stage of the Pill Fighting Competition?"
The scene of her refining the elixir with the ancient method at that time is still vivid in my mind, even in the future, I am afraid that she will never forget it. After all, this is the most glorious moment of her alchemy so far in her life.
Ye Zifeng shook his head with a smile: "No, the effect of refining two identical elixirs is a bit repetitive, I'm not inclined."
"Then what do you mean...?" A gleam of light flashed across Liu Bingqian's narrowed beautiful eyes.
"That's right, what I want to refine are two different pills, and I plan to do it at the same time! Use up the remaining two chances to refine pills at the same time! Let the two of them abstain directly!"
"My God..." Liu Bingqian lightly covered her red lips, her face full of disbelief.
One furnace of two pills is already the ultimate in skill, and now one pill furnace refines two different medicinal materials, and it is easy for the properties of the medicines to conflict and affect each other. In addition, the control of the fire is also extremely difficult to master.
This is definitely a desperate act!
Ye Zifeng smiled faintly: "Bingqian, don't be so scared. Since two people are allowed to participate in this alchemy competition, there is a meaning for two people to participate..."
Liu Bingqian faltered, and murmured softly: "The meaning of two people competing is to let one be the main alchemist and the other the assistant alchemist, isn't that the case?"
"Then what if both of them are master alchemists, regardless of the relationship between master and deputy?" Ye Zifeng's mouth showed a slight sneer.
There was a hint of surprise in Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes. She had participated in so many alchemy competitions, and every time the contestants brought a servant to fight, she had never seen anyone say that both of them were master alchemists. , after all, there is only one pill furnace in front of each group of people!
From Hua Shao and Qi Zimo's attitudes towards their respective servants, it can be seen that they never regarded each other as a partner.
But now, Ye Zifeng regards himself and Liu Bingqian as a two-person group, and there is no relationship between superior and inferior.
"Bingqian, they underestimated the strength of their servants, so naturally they couldn't maximize the combat power of the two of them. This is where they made a mistake, and it will also be the cause of their failure."
Liu Bingqian glanced at Ye Zifeng hesitantly: "You mean, I can help you?"
"Your strength is not bad, but firstly, you don't know how to prepare medicinal materials, secondly, you have relatively little experience in competitions, and thirdly, you don't have enough confidence in yourself. If you solve these three points, you will be able to become a unique alchemist .Of course during this process, I will still help you." Ye Zifeng said while holding up three fingers.
"Okay! You've already said that, big brother, I, Bingqian, will definitely do my best!" Liu Bingqian naturally didn't want to drag Ye Zifeng down because of herself.
"In that case, let's start." Ye Zifeng smiled lightly, and immediately poured a large stack of medicinal materials into the pill furnace, and placed them on both sides of the pill furnace according to their categories.
"The method of refining two different medicinal materials at one time has obvious advantages. It can save alchemy time, but the difficulty lies in the compatibility of medicinal properties...!" Ye Zifeng said with a faint smile when classifying the medicinal materials.
"Yeah, big brother, I was worried about this just now!" Liu Bingqian nodded deeply, and couldn't help but speak.
"Then just watch, how do I solve this problem..."
Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously, suddenly raised his hand, and quickly put the spirit-absorbing pill back into the pill furnace.
"Brother rough man, what are you..." The look in Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes kept changing, and she finally came back to herself after a long while.
"I see."
She finally understood that the spirit-absorbing pill that Ye Zifeng refined before was not only for the purpose of making surprise soldiers, but also for the purpose of absorbing the conflicting medicinal properties when refining two kinds of pills at once!
This principle is not difficult to understand, the role of the spirit-absorbing pill is like this, but the difficulty is, who would think so much at the beginning? Who has the courage to use one pill furnace to refine two different pills
The essence of free alchemy is that it seems to be free, but it is not free.
The old ghost Mu Yun gave a limit of refining up to three pills, which made it better for these three pills to appear as a combination of each other, rather than exist independently of each other. Ye Zifeng obviously made good use of this a little.
Ye Zifeng smiled, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Liu Bingqian.
"I am left and you are right, remember to use aura to stabilize the appropriate part of the medicinal material, and introduce the opposing part into the spirit-absorbing pill..."
"Understood!" After Liu Bingqian nodded heavily, mortal flames had condensed from her fingertips, lit the firewood under the alchemy furnace, introduced the flame into the alchemy furnace, and adjusted it evenly.
Ye Zifeng didn't just sit idle, what he said about the two master alchemists before was not just for fun.
Now the pill furnace has been divided into two parts, one on the left and one on the right. One person simply has no time to spare, so he has to use the strength of two people to work together to complete it.
In this point, Ye Zifeng undoubtedly has a natural advantage over Qi Zimo and Hua Shao, because he and Liu Bingqian are friends from the beginning, and there is no big difference in status.
However, Qi Zimo and Hua Shao are different. If they are allowed to sit on an equal footing with his servants and practice alchemy together, it would be a great humiliation to themselves!
"Are the two making alchemy together? Ye Zifeng really came up with a good idea." Qi Zimo sighed slightly, and looked back at his sword slave.
Therefore, although Qi Zimo saw Ye Zifeng and Liu Bingqian's joint alchemy, he would not follow suit, because it was irreproducible in itself!
"Sword slave, tell me, will the Explosive Spirit Pill I am refining this time suppress Ye Zifeng's Absorbing Spirit Pill? Can I win him?" Although Qi Zimo knew in his heart, the Explosive Spirit Pill he was refining would be It is the nemesis of the spirit-absorbing pill, but he still feels that there is something wrong, as if it has been lingering in his heart, lingering for a long time.
Sword slave's answer was very confident: "No problem, the master will definitely win the first place in the alchemy competition like before! I am very confident in the master's victory!"
"Really, can I really get the first name this time?" Qi Zimo frowned, the title of the first name made him feel numb for a while, but after meeting Ye Zifeng, he felt flustered from the bottom of his heart for the first time , as if this time it will fall to his family.
"Master..." Jian Nu seemed a little worried about Qi Zimo's state.
However, this feeling of uneasiness only lasted for a while, and was quickly replaced by Qi Zimo's inner self-confidence. "
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too sensitive. An alchemist like Ye Zifeng is nothing more than a prey, so let me smash his illusions! Take this opportunity to tell him that even if it's opportunistic, it's not good for me." As far as Qi Zimo is concerned, it is futile!"
