Seeing Chen Shaoqian's cold attitude, Han Xuexin couldn't help feeling sad.
However, she did not regret it. She truly loved Chen Shaoqian, so she could not tolerate him favoring other women.
Han Ye, the island master, also stood up and exchanged greetings. "Thank you, alchemists, for giving me the honor of participating in the competition. I promise that whoever successfully refines the Resurrection Pill and becomes the first place winner will be rewarded with a Water-Repellent Bead."
After hearing about this reward, everyone in the alchemist crowd was excited.
Leng Qingning was puzzled. It was just a water-repellent bead, its function was to protect cultivators from prolonged exposure to the deep sea, so why were these people so surprised? Could it be that the water-repellent here was different from the one they had on the Eastern Continent?
Seeing this, Lv Danfeng, who was standing next to her, quietly explained, "Little brother, you don't know the difference between the water-repellent beads of the Island Lord's Mansion. Normally, ordinary water-repellent beads are used to protect cultivators so that they can breathe freely in the water for a few hours. The water-repellent beads of the Island Lord's Mansion are different."
"After wearing this bead, the cultivator can breathe freely underwater for three full days. And most importantly, it can conceal one's own breath. Ordinary water-repellent beads cannot conceal the human breath and will be discovered by the sea beasts and attack humans. After wearing this bead, the water beasts will not smell your scent. It seems that the island master has invested a lot of money for this young master."
So that's how it is. Leng Qingning was also moved after hearing this. Entering the water can conceal one's own breath. The island owner is really willing to take out such a treasure.
The housekeeper clapped his hands and said, "Masters, please move towards the main hall entrance."
Everyone stepped back a few steps after hearing this. Jiu saw a mechanism in the main hall of Butler Anton. Then they heard a rumbling sound from the ground. Tables and chairs filled with resurrection herbs floated up from the ground. In the middle of the tables and chairs was an ordinary alchemy furnace.
Han Qi said: "Masters, if you have your own alchemy furnace, you can also use your own alchemy furnace. The competition officially begins. The time is one stick of incense. The competition ends when it is burned out."
Leng Qingning chose a seat in a corner, and seeing this, Lu Danfeng followed her and chose a seat nearby in the corner.
"This island master's mansion is indeed very wealthy. Not only did they provide us with so many spiritual medicines, they also provided each of us with an alchemy furnace."
"Who do you think will take first place this time?"
"Do I need to guess? It must be Mr. Li."
Li Peisheng snorted in disdain when he saw Leng Qingning choose a corner seat. His smile widened under the compliments of the alchemists. He then waved his sleeves and chose a seat in the center of the hall.
This position is extremely conspicuous, and the island owner and others directly above the hall can clearly see the situation on his side.
After the competition began, Leng Qingning skillfully picked out the spiritual herbs for refining the Resurrection Pill, quickly put them into a single stream, and controlled the temperature with her left hand while refining the medicinal liquid with her right hand.
Lu Danfeng, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded at her skillful speed. He had just started to refine the second kind of medicine, while Leng Qingning had already refined the fifth kind of medicine.
Oh my goodness, Brother Shen is too fast, isn’t he?
He was right. Brother Shen was a hidden master. Those old men who looked down on Brother Shen should just wait to wipe their tears and cry secretly. Who made these old men like to form cliques and squeeze these young people?
The other brothers didn't come because they couldn't stand being excluded, so in this competition, there were only two young men, him and Brother Shen.
Then, he began to concentrate on practicing again. Brother Shen was so good, he couldn't fall too far behind.
Several alchemists looked to the side with gloating expressions on their faces.
However, when they saw Leng Qingning's extremely skillful movements, his slender fingers controlling the spiritual liquid with one hand and the flame with the other, and using his spiritual sense to quickly refine it, the spiritual medicine piled on the table became less and less, and they could no longer hold back.
The white-bearded old man beside him was filled with anger and whispered, "You little bastard, are you cheating? Master Li has only practiced drawing ten kinds of medicinal liquids. How could you possibly refine fourteen? I suggest that the island master examine you carefully."
Li Peisheng was originally very happy to hear that Bai Shi was looking for trouble with this kid, but when he heard this stupid guy mention his name, he was extremely angry.
Is this idiot afraid that others don't know that the brat can refine the medicine faster than him?
Unexpectedly, after hearing Master Bai's words, Island Master Han Ye's expression suddenly changed, and his face was covered with gloom. He stared at the housekeeper coldly, and the housekeeper's eyelids twitched with fear.
This Bai Shi only causes him trouble.
Moreover, this young master was invited by him personally. Bai Shi's words in public were undoubtedly an insult to him, mocking his inability to judge people. Han Qi said, "Master Bai Shi, our island master values the health of the second young master. All the spiritual medicines have been carefully screened repeatedly. The alchemy furnaces configured for each of you have been tested many times. We dare to use them only when there are no problems at all."
"Besides, every record of the materials on the table is under our noses. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to cheat. Could it be that you doubt our fairness?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Shi's face turned red with embarrassment. He was stared at by people all around him, and he wished he could hide in a crack in the ground.
Seeing Leng Qingning's extremely focused back, as if what had just happened could not alarm her at all, Bai Shi became even more angry, and his lungs were about to explode.
Damn brat, he must beat this guy.
While the alchemist surnamed Bai was making trouble, Leng Qingning had already refined all the herbs for the Resurrection Pill into a emerald green liquid. The most important thing now was to prepare to condense the pill.
Little did she know that the alchemists around her were secretly observing her every move, and seeing how fast she was, they became a little anxious.
"Mr. Li, that brat is so fast, could he outsmart us?"
Li Peisheng said disapprovingly, "Why are you panicking? Being fast doesn't mean he can successfully condense the pill. The most difficult step in making the Soul Resurrection Pill is condensing the pill, and condensing the pill consumes the most spiritual power. Even if she is a junior alchemist, her spiritual power cannot compare to ours."
After hearing what Mr. Li said, everyone felt reassured.
However, after hearing their discussions, Leng Qingning's smile grew wider. She saw that the Resurrection Pill, which everyone believed was extremely difficult to condense, was successfully condensed in less than half a minute in her hands, and there was not a single furnace explosion in the process.
When Chen Shaoqian looked at Leng Qingning, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen his prey and was determined to get it.
