Those who came to watch the Pill Fighting Contest stood outside the red line drawn on the ground and kept looking in.
"Have you seen that? I said that Liu Bingqian from Leizhou City is still at the bottom this time. Everyone else has already started to prepare medicinal materials. She is still at a loss. I guess she doesn't even know which medicinal materials to use."
There was also a smile on the corner of Liang Jiu's mouth: "That little brother, I thought that he dared to bet with us because of some solidarity, but now it seems that after all, he was just talking too loudly."
"Hey, Ninth Brother, there are ten of us, how will we spend the one thousand or two hundred bets later?"
Liang Jiu smiled heartily: "This is easy, one hundred gold coins per day, and the remaining two hundred, I invite everyone to go to Huiyuelou for a drink!" It can be regarded as first-class.
"Okay! Brother Nine is refreshing!"
Seeing that Liu Bingqian's group hadn't moved for a long time, some people in the audience had classified them as the bottom one in advance, and began to discuss who was the penultimate one.
This first competition is a five-in-three competition, but it is also an important event that determines whether the contestants can continue to participate in the next round of the Dou Dan competition, and there is no room for any sloppy.
Ye Zifeng's divine light gathered, and after just scanning for a while, he already had a general understanding of the strength of the alchemists on the field. Looking back, he found that Liu Bingqian was still a little worried about the pile of medicinal materials, and her face burst into tears. A good-natured smile came.
"Bingqian, follow what I said and prepare the formula."
Liu Bingqian was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes: "No way, this Zengyuan Pill is not a pill for the Qi refining period, you really know how to prepare medicinal materials?"
Ye Zifeng smiled lightly: "It's not the first time I've practiced alchemy in front of you, don't you believe in my strength?" If he hid ninety percent of his strength in front of ordinary people, then for Liu Bingqian, he hid it. Five points, and the strength of this five points should be enough to convince Liu Bingqian.
Liu Bingqian giggled: "I can't memorize such a theoretical thing as the configuration of medicinal materials, so I might really need to ask you for advice. Tell me, big brother, I'll do what you say. "
She usually has books by her side when she is alchemy, so she can prepare the medicinal materials according to what the books say, but now when she is in the alchemy competition, she is not allowed to bring the books. Therefore, Liu Bingqian's alchemy strength is often She played less than 50%, until this time, she had Ye Zifeng to guide her.
"That's good." Ye Zifeng nodded with a smile, and then said in a low voice: "Listen, three wind-flame fruits, two golden wood grass, two Huiling ginseng, three fire dream leaves, Supplement it with ten drops of Longyan Linglu, put them into the alchemy furnace first."
"Okay!" Liu Bingqian gave a soft "um", her expression became serious in an instant, and she quickly selected the medicinal materials and put them into a plate next to her. After all, now she seems to have a master to guide her, and of course her speed has become much faster.
Old Ghost Mu Yun glanced at all the contestants casually, and when her eyes fell on Liu Bingqian, her pupils suddenly shrank.
"Hey, when did this ghost girl's ability to prepare medicinal materials improve so much? I don't seem to have taught her much knowledge in this area recently. Could it be that she is afraid of losing face in the Pill Fighting Competition, so she studies hard?"
Although Old Ghost Mu Yun also noticed that Ye Zifeng seemed to be talking about something, but she took it for granted that Ye Zifeng was chatting with Liu Bingqian, so she didn't take it too seriously.
However, when Yi Hao from Qushui City and Xu Zhen from Wasteland City saw this, they became a little anxious. They relied on being able to win Liu Bingqian before, but they deceived her that she would not know how to choose medicinal materials, so that when the medicine finally became a pill, the spirituality of the medicine was greatly reduced, but now Liu Bingqian will not make any mistakes in choosing medicinal materials. of.
Ye Zifeng remained motionless, and said indifferently: "Xuanpin pill furnace has thirty-two stars, and ordinary grade pill furnace is also divided into four basic positions. Bingqian, anyone who wants to refine each realm can To take the Zengyuan Pill, you need to put different medicinal materials in strict order... "
Liu Bingqian was secretly surprised, with a puzzled look on her face: "Brother rough man, how should these medicinal materials be placed?" If there were no Ye Zifeng's remarks, she would definitely just dump them into the alchemy furnace all at once, who would care? So many rules.
"Fengyan fruit is placed in the north, golden wood grass is placed in the south, Huiling ginseng needs to appear in the west, and the remaining fire dream leaves are naturally in the east. In addition, along the wall of the alchemy furnace, dragon Yan Ling, two drops in each direction, and another two drops in the middle..."
Liu Bingqian's eyes lit up, and while doing so, she asked Ye Zifeng with some doubts.
"Brother rough man, why are you so familiar with Zengyuan Dan? Could it be that you have practiced it before?"
Ye Zifeng knew more about the pills that Ye Zifeng had refined than Liu Bingqian, so this small Zengyuan Pill was naturally no problem, but he didn't want to answer Liu Bingqian's question directly.
"Don't be distracted, if the location of the medicinal materials is wrong, the effect of refining the elixir will be greatly affected..."
"If you don't say it, then don't say it." Liu Bingqian wrinkled her little nose, said "Oh", and obediently began to put medicinal materials into the pill furnace, while Ye Zifeng silently began to add firewood to the bottom of the pill furnace.
Each contestant looked focused, staring at the alchemy furnace in front of him closely, sinking his mind, ignoring other things.
Unbeknownst to them, there was already a lot of excitement down there.
"This... this is!" The seniors from the alchemy world invited by the old ghost Mu Yun stared straight at Liu Bingqian's group, their faces turned pale at first, and then turned extremely red.
A person who was invited to be an examiner for the first time was stunned: "No way, she is young, how could she know the ancient method of alchemy? How could she place different medicinal materials according to their positions? You just said...she used to be The bottom one?"
"Bottom... this..." The others seemed to have a thunderbolt on their heads, and their limbs became a little numb.
If a person at the bottom can use the ancient method of alchemy, then the level of this alchemy competition is already as high as the sky, but obviously, this is impossible.
Even some outsiders can now see that something is not quite right.
Someone came back to his senses and pushed Liang Jiu: "Brother Jiu, this time, did that Liu Bingqian work hard secretly at home, why does she feel like a different person from before? Tell me, will we... "
Liang Jiu frowned deeply, glared at him and said, "Don't give me a crow's mouth! I admit, this Liu Bingqian may have improved a bit, but look at the little follower beside her, even Fanpin Flame If they can’t condense and use the most primitive firewood to make alchemy, I want to see how they can stand out!”
"Wait a minute, Brother Nine, look, that little follower seems to be trying to condense flames!"
"What?!" Liang Jiu wiped her eyes, and hurriedly looked in Ye Zifeng's direction.
I saw Ye Zifeng intending to guard his dantian, condensing his qi on his arm, gradually attracting his spiritual qi to condense on his fingertips, and suddenly a ball of steam-like flame burst out.
The people around held their breath and watched for a long time. However, when they saw a ball of flame rising from Ye Zifeng's fingertips, they all sighed. In their eyes, if Ye Zifeng's actions could condense the mortal When the flames come, then Liu Bingqian's fate of being at the bottom of the list may really change.
But the next moment, Ye Zifeng sat down suddenly, with one hand he introduced the flames into the alchemy furnace, and with the other hand he began to add small pieces of wood to the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Standing outside the venue, Yang Jing saw Ye Zifeng's alchemy technique, and immediately remembered what he did when he was refining the Chunyang Pill, and her beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.
"Brother Zhen, look at that man, what is he... what is he doing?"
Beside Xu Zhen in the wasteland city, his little follower couldn't help asking.
There was a slight sneer at the corner of Xu Zhen's mouth: "Don't be nervous, if I guessed correctly, his flame gas is not enough to infiltrate the medicinal materials, so he needs to use ordinary flames such as firewood to assist in alchemy. However, this double flame method of alchemy Although it is a trick, it is extremely difficult to control. From my point of view, the flames in the pill furnace will lose control in a short time, and they will definitely be smelted into slag! They are simply seeking their own death!"
He paused for a moment, and then said to his followers: "Remember, don't worry about Leizhou City's affairs. Yi Hao in Qushui City is our biggest opponent. If you are free, pay more attention to his movements." That's right."
From Xu Zhen's point of view, even if Liu Bingqian has improved a little, it is still impossible for her to make much progress. It is still easy to beat her.
"Bingqian, when I'm controlling the fire, don't relax the security of the four directions in the pill furnace, add a little more of your own aura into it."
"Okay!" Liu Bingqian was already in the state of doing what Ye Zifeng said at this time, because until now, under the guidance of Ye Zifeng, every step she took has attracted the attention of experts without exception. There was a sound of admiration, which was obviously recognized by many people.
Ye Zifeng saw that the fire under the alchemy furnace was almost ready, so after stuffing the last log, he raised his head with a smile.
"Bingqian, the four directions have been stabilized, and the momentum of the flames is enough. I will only teach you about alchemy in the future, and I will not help you anymore."
Liu Bingqian's complexion changed slightly, and a look of panic flashed on her pretty face: "No, no, no, how could I win them without you? What are you thinking?"
Ye Zifeng smiled meaningfully: "Don't you think, we take the initiative to let them alone, and then eliminate them in public! Wouldn't it be more comfortable this way?"
