At the first exchange meeting, in addition to those who only led teams, there were nearly a thousand alchemists who actually participated in the competition.
This doesn't mean that Jiang Baizhou only has so many outstanding alchemists, but the Xiancao Association has requirements for the age and number of participation of participants, which has already eliminated more than half of them.
In the Xuan-level area where Ning Zhishui is at this time, there are more than 300 Xuan-level alchemists, and the rest are almost all Huang-level alchemists.
There are only less than twenty people at the heaven level and earth level combined, which is almost invisible among the thousands of alchemists. However, they are the real masters and any one of them will be the focus of everyone's attention.
"We just drew lots and got the Dream Return Pill. This will be the topic we will discuss next."
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but President Meng Cheng is in charge of the Xuan level area.
He is the most discussed person recently because he just broke through to the Heavenly Level a few days ago and became a true Heavenly Level Alchemist.
Although Meng Cheng had made elixirs with elixir patterns before, there was only one kind, and it was not of the heavenly grade.
After that, he was transferred to the headquarters of the Alchemy Association, where he secluded himself for a few days. He then successfully produced the second and third batches of pills with danwen, and from then on, another person was added to the list of heavenly-level alchemists.
The Immortal Herb Conference is approaching, and the newly added Heavenly Grade Alchemist will undoubtedly add more strength to Jiang Baizhou.
Although this power is somewhat weak, being the weakest among the Heavenly Class, it does not seem to be able to change the situation...
After Meng Cheng mentioned the name Mengguidan, he made the remaining recipe public and invited everyone to discuss it.
Mengguidan, a mysterious-level elixir, has the effect of leading people into dreams after taking it, and allowing them to recall important but forgotten past events in the dreams.
Only four medicinal materials were named in the incomplete prescription. Two of them were already there when it was passed down, and the other two were added after repeated deliberation by later generations.
After the theme was decided, the Xuan-level alchemists began to speak one after another and expressed their opinions.
"It's more appropriate to add green bitter fruit, it has the effect of improving memory."
"What's the point of improving memory at this level? Besides, the Green Bitter Fruit is so bitter that the bitter taste in my mouth won't go away for hours after eating it. How can I fall asleep after eating it, and how can I dream?"
"I also think that the Green Bitter Fruit is not good. It should be better to replace it with Fude Algae."
…
After the dispute, everyone's discussion became more heated.
While listening to these people's discussions, Meng Cheng looked towards Ning Zhishui, trying to urge her with his eyes——
You should speak up soon!
Ning Zhishui caught his gaze and gave him a calming expression.
After listening for a while, she realized... although what these people said seemed to be related, it was actually of no benefit to the Mengguidan recipe.
It's like everyone is discussing how to make a famous dish, including the steps and seasonings, but a lot of people are struggling over whether to use fish or chicken.
Not to mention that they couldn't come to any conclusion through discussion, even if they did come to a conclusion, they still couldn't make a complete dish.
It’s not everyone’s fault that their skills are low, it’s just that the difficulty of this recipe is too great for them... Okay, actually their skills are still not good enough.
So she didn't speak in a hurry, but listened to others like Meng Cheng.
It's true, during this process Ning Zhishui actually discovered several people with outstanding performance. Although what they said was useless to Meng Guidan, it also showed their level.
So Ning Zhishui wrote a small note, held it between his two fingers, and shook it towards Meng Cheng.
After seeing this, Meng Cheng subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he realized that too many people were watching his every move, making it inconvenient for him to move. So he secretly signaled with his eyes to an alchemist from the Alchemy Association to go for him.
After the alchemist took the note back, President Meng took a look at it and raised the corner of his mouth, nodding almost imperceptibly towards Ning Zhishui.
Ning Zhishui now knew that the people he wrote about had also caught President Meng's eye.
When the two were doing these little tricks, they were completely unaware that Ning Zhishui was actually just one of the many ordinary Xuan-level alchemists who were competing, and Meng Cheng was actually the invigilator.
Ning Zhishui didn't care, but as for Meng Cheng...
What is an ordinary Xuan-level alchemist?
The person who can guide me to become a heaven-level alchemist, you tell me she is at the Xuan level?
Not even at the Xuan level!
Ning Zhishui disappeared into the crowd without saying a word, which disappointed many Xuan-level alchemists who were secretly anticipating her actions. Some even looked down on her.
I thought this famous Master Ning Dan was so powerful, but this is what he turned out to be?
It seems that the name does not match the reality, and most likely he has a background.
But some people were also skeptical and doubted whether something had gone wrong.
Because why does this Master Ning Dan look so similar to the Master Ning Qi from the Xianlai Sect whom I have met before?
One person? No, they are of different ages.
Are they real sisters?
Ning Zhishui felt the gazes of people around her, but she was calm and not panicked at all.
When the discussion had come to an end (because there was no progress and they had to stop because they were bored), Ning Zhishui finally stood up leisurely.
"I have a different opinion on this recipe. The Dream Return Pill focuses on the dream itself. It's a pill that helps people sleep peacefully, so it essentially rules out ingredients with strange smells or that might cause discomfort. So, my opinion is that the fifth ingredient, no, it shouldn't be called a medicine..."
"What is that?"
Someone asked curiously.
"Hundred Flowers Wine."
Ning Zhishui's words caused a huge uproar, leaving everyone stunned.
"Hundred-Hundred Flower Wine? But isn't this wine?"
"Yes, this is wine, not medicine!"
Ning Zhishui hummed, "Right, that's why I said it's not a medicine. Baihua Niang is a famous wine that's been passed down for tens of thousands of years. When talking about classics, its name is bound to come up when mentioning wine. And it existed before Menggui Dan, so it's not impossible."
Everyone reacted strongly after hearing this, and some immediately said it was ridiculous and impossible.
But some people were moved and felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement.
After drinking good wine, you will feel drowsy and fall asleep, and you may even dream while sleeping!
What's wrong with taking it as one of the medicines?
Ning Zhishui ignored everyone's opinions and said to himself, "After brewing the Hundred Flowers Brew, the next herbal ingredient will have to take into account the issue of 'memory'. I think sweet apricot fruit is a good choice here..."
Ning Zhishui named the herbs one by one and explained in detail the reasons for choosing them.
She listed all the herbs in the recipe at once, including the original four, a total of eleven.
"These are the herbs, but the order probably needs adjusting. If you put the Hundred Flowers Brew in too early, the flavor might dissipate. I think it's better to put it in last. Also..."
