Qiu Fang only thought about it for a moment and felt that this was a good opportunity.
Even if Ning Zhishui was powerful, could he be better than himself? He had been learning about medicinal herbs with his grandfather since he was two years old, and he often helped in his father's alchemy room when he was young.
If Ning Zhishui could refine it, then he could definitely do it too. If he couldn't, then she couldn't either.
But if he could, what about her?
No matter how you look at it, it's a sure win!
Qiu Fang felt that being able to show off his skills in front of the presidents of the two conferences was a great opportunity given to him by God!
"The third level requires refining three kinds of pills, so you can compete three times. Whoever wins more will win. If no one can refine it, it will be a draw." Ren Xi said with a smile.
"Who will draw the lots?" asked a Pingzhou alchemist.
The actual combat in the third round also requires drawing lots from the question bank. All the names of the Xuan-level elixirs are put together, and you will be tested on the one you draw. There are three questions in total, namely refining three furnaces of elixirs.
The requirement for passing the Xuan-level assessment is to successfully refine two out of three furnaces of elixir, and one failure is allowed.
"It's Teacher Ning Dan's exam, so naturally she will be the one to draw the ball." Meng Cheng said.
No one had any objections, so the matter was settled.
Ning Zhishui began to draw lots, and soon drew out three slips of paper. After unfolding them, it was clearly -
Meng Huan Dan, Jiangshen Pill, Guixi Pill.
When the second note was unfolded, someone couldn't help but gasp.
Ning Zhishui's luck is really unparalleled to be able to draw such an unpopular elixir as the God-Falling Pill.
There are not many alchemists who know this kind of alchemy, mainly because they don’t use it in their daily lives. Even if they knew it before, they will become rusty if they don’t practice it for a long time.
Just like Qiu Fang, he also frowned at this time, obviously he had no way to deal with this magic pill.
Everyone couldn't help but exchange a look——
Ning Zhishui definitely doesn't know how to use this magic pill!
Doesn't that mean that if she wants to pass the grading test, she must successfully refine the remaining two kinds of pills?
This is too difficult.
It seems that she is doomed to fail the assessment today.
However, whether the assessment is successful or not has nothing to do with the outcome of the competition between the two.
The two men first sat down in front of the stove, then wrote down the materials they needed on pieces of paper, which the steward would take.
Ning Zhishui sat inside the house, while Qiu Fang sat outside. There was a barrier around him to prevent him from being disturbed.
In order to avoid affecting each other, Qiu Fang sat with his back to Ning Zhishui, so there was no possibility of him peeking at her.
The reason why you write the material name yourself is that this is also a step in the assessment.
If you don't even know the recipe for the pill and write the ingredients wrong, then you might as well not refine it at all and just lose, so as to avoid wasting precious medicinal materials.
But fortunately, Ning Zhishui and Qiu Fang both wrote it correctly.
After the materials were prepared, the two of them started working almost at the same time.
With so many experts present, the two alchemists started to nod their heads in approval soon after they began.
"Master Ning Dan is calm and composed, and his timing is impeccable. He is indeed quite capable."
"Qiu Fang is not bad either. He looks calm and confident."
Both of them are extremely talented people in the field of alchemy, but unfortunately they belong to two different alchemy associations, and these two alchemy associations happen to be rivals in neighboring cities.
Otherwise, if the two of them were in the same alchemy association, the influence would be even greater!
Ren Xi was the first to think of this. He looked at President Meng with a smile and said, "President Meng, if Alchemist Ning loses, why not let her come to our Pingzhou Alchemy Association? Don't worry, we will definitely not treat her unfairly, nor will we treat the Luoyucheng Alchemy Association unfairly. What do you think?"
I see you're a hammer!
President Meng was practically puffing out his beard. "This concerns her own future, how can it be decided by you and me? I think that Master Qiu is a perfect match for our Dan Guild. Why not let him stay? He's here too, so it saves him the trouble of traveling."
Bullshit!
Ren Xi smiled sinisterly, "That's really unfortunate. Qiu Fang and I are very close. He only wants to stay in the Pingzhou Alchemy Club. I guess he doesn't like the Luoyu Alchemy Club."
The two of them interacted with each other calmly, and the alchemists around them pretended to be deaf and did not join in.
How could they be qualified to join the fight between the two presidents? If they said something wrong, they would definitely be used as a punching bag.
President Meng was chatting with Ren Xi when suddenly his eyes moved.
Ren Xi also noticed something was wrong and his face froze for a moment.
Xuan level is Xuan level, seemingly only one level higher than Huang level, but it is like a natural chasm that cannot be filled by luck.
The enemy failed.
He only persisted for half a quarter of an hour before the whole furnace of medicine became stuck in the furnace like a paste, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't fix it.
Even though the barrier blocked the sounds and smells from inside, everyone was an expert and could tell at a glance that something was wrong inside the furnace.
Qiu Fang looked frustrated, turned off the fire, and used magic to clean the stove.
However, he was not affected too much. Even if this Menghuan Pill failed, there were still two other kinds of pills that could be refined. He could not give up until the last moment.
So he regrouped and took out the ingredients for the spirit-conquering pills.
This pill is not only unpopular, but also difficult to refine, and requires a wide variety of medicinal materials.
The more types there are, the more difficult it is to merge them, which is why the enemy frowns when they see its name.
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to try it!
Qiu Fang started refining the elixir again, as if the previous failure had never happened.
Seeing that his mood had returned to normal, Vice President Ren nodded with satisfaction.
Failure is normal, after all, this is a Xuan-level elixir.
Moreover, among these three kinds of pills, the one that Ren Xi had the greatest hope for was actually the third one - the Turtle Breath Pill.
Turtle Breath Pills are the most frequently used Xuan-level pill among the three kinds of pills. Because of its practical effects, it is sold in almost every pill shop.
Moreover, Qiu Fang’s father is best at making Turtle Breathing Pills!
Qiu Fang himself didn't know how many times he had witnessed the refining process. He was familiar with every step, and most importantly, he had succeeded in refining it once!
That time was quite a coincidence. His father was right next to him when he was refining the pill. When he made a mistake in one of the steps, his father helped him fix it immediately, so the pill was finally successful.
However, the Xuan-level elixir was a little beyond his physical strength. After Qiu Fang refined it, he fell asleep for a whole day and night before he recovered.
He tried again after that, but something was always missing and he never succeeded.
But despite this, Ren Xi was very confident in Qiu Fang, because Qiu Fang was a competitive alchemist, and the more tense the competition, the more extraordinary his performance would be.
Maybe I can refine it again today.
Ren Xi had hope in his heart, but he did not show this joy on his face. Instead, he pretended to be worried, for fear that President Meng would find out something was wrong and regret the competition.
