Chapter 107 You are very strong, I give you a thumbs up (please subscribe to more)
With her slender hands, she put the medicinal materials into the furnace one by one in an orderly manner.
Chu Ning's movements were very skillful and he was not affected by the tension of the competition at all.
In this round, all contestants are first-grade alchemists.
Normally, a furnace of pills contains ten pills, but in this kind of competition atmosphere, in order to stand out, the minimum required is probably fifteen pills.
Chu Ning did not rush to open fire, but glanced around and found that the alchemists had added extra ingredients just as he had imagined.
However, these were all first-grade alchemists in the Qi Condensation Stage, while those first-grade alchemists in the Foundation Establishment Stage still chose ten portions of medicinal materials, obviously planning to go the route of quality.
"Then make twelve."
After Chu Ning put the herbs in, he covered the stove and started the flame.
The speed was consistent with that of most alchemists, and the entire platform was almost filled with the sound of flames burning in the alchemy furnace.
The temperature also rose suddenly.
Alchemy is a boring job, at least from a visual point of view. It is not like a fighting competition where all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual lights are flying in the sky.
But even so, the onlookers still watched intently.
For some forces, this alchemist competition is also an opportunity for them to make friends with alchemists.
Three hours later.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion on the alchemy table; someone had blown up the furnace.
The alchemist whose furnace exploded was blushing red in the face. Facing the looks from the other alchemists around him and the fearful eyes of the onlookers, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The Qi Condensing Pill is the most basic elixir, and it is almost impossible for a first-class alchemist to make it wrong.
This is affected by the atmosphere.
Chu Ning sighed slightly in his heart. The state of mind when refining the elixir is also very important.
Just like in exams, students who usually have average academic performance often perform poorly due to great psychological pressure.
After this alchemist's furnace exploded, three more alchemists' furnaces exploded in the next half hour.
This actually aroused the interest of the onlookers. Watching the boring alchemy process is not as interesting as watching a furnace explode.
Chu Ning was not affected at all and continued to refine his own alchemy furnace.
This Alchemist Competition determines whether he can resolve the crisis, so he has no intention of hiding his abilities and is prepared to give it his all.
A quarter of an hour later.
There was the aroma of elixir, someone had started the furnace.
This is an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage. When the alchemy furnace was opened, there were ten Qi Condensation Pills inside, nine of good quality and one of top quality.
The alchemist's opening of the furnace was like sounding the charge horn. In the following time, another alchemist would open the furnace every few breaths.
The normal time to refine the Qi Condensation Pill is around this time.
"Two top-grade pills. This alchemist is very powerful."
"This... this is a failure. Although one of the top-grade pills was produced, the remaining nine are not even good-quality. This is because they were too focused on the quality of each pill and neglected the overall control."
"Fifteen good quality pieces. We win by sheer quantity, but it's a little risky."
Every time an alchemist opens the furnace, it will cause discussion among the onlookers, some with amazement and some with regret.
Soon, more than half of the three hundred alchemists had started to make their furnaces, and the 50th person at the moment had 8 good-quality and 2 top-quality pills, which translated to 18 good-quality Qi Condensing Pills.
Wow! Suddenly, the crowd burst into uniform exclamations of surprise.
This is also true on the alchemy platform.
Those alchemists who had already started a furnace were now looking at the newly opened furnace with disbelief in their eyes.
Eight top-grade Qi Condensing Pills, plus four good-grade Qi Condensing Pills.
This result directly ranked first.
Everyone's eyes were on the owner of the alchemy furnace, a young man in the early stage of foundation building. He had a dull expression and even shook his head with a slight regret, as if this result was somewhat different from what he had originally expected.
“This seedling is good.”
On the top of the mountain, third-rank alchemists such as Xie Shouping also noticed this scene, and one of the old men had a look of approval on his face.
"Old Xie, why don't you just accept him as your disciple?"
"I will only accept the first place in this competition."
Although Xie Shouping was somewhat surprised, he was not yet ready to accept him as his disciple.
"What is the origin of this child?"
Another third-rank alchemist spoke up, and Xie Shouping waved his hand, and a registration book fell into the other party's hand.
This registration book contains the names of all the alchemists who have registered this time, as well as their basic information.
The main thing is where it came from and how many years he spent refining the elixir, but there are no more details.
Wen Jinzong didn't have the energy to investigate all the alchemists. Some of them were destined to be eliminated in the first round, so there was no point in investigating them in such detail.
"Ke Yunxin, I will remember this person." The old man glanced at the roster and said lightly.
With the achievements of this alchemist, even if other alchemists succeeded in refining top-grade Qi Condensing Pills, they would not attract much attention.
Many people's eyes were still on the young alchemist.
Until a young man in gorgeous clothes opened the furnace.
Ten top-grade Qi Condensing Pills appeared in the pill furnace.
No. 171.
Not far away from Chu Ning, Chu Ning could see the curve of the other person's mouth.
"All the furnaces are top-grade. This alchemy talent is too terrifying."
"The Qi Condensation Pill is not difficult, but in this kind of competition, it already puts a lot of pressure on the alchemist. If you are not absolutely confident in your own strength, you dare not use the whole furnace to refine the top grade."
The alchemists around are the ones who understand alchemists the most. In this kind of multi-round competition, people usually play it safe in the first round, as long as they can advance.
Because the entire furnace is refining high-quality elixirs, if there is any mistake, it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed and eliminated.
Bao Huining, Qiong Liangyou and the other two who were floating in the air and watching also narrowed their eyes. This person will be their strong opponent in the next few rounds.
As second-grade alchemists, they do not need to participate in the first round and can directly advance to the second round.
To be honest, these first-grade alchemists were not taken seriously by them at first, but when this one opened the furnace, several people felt the pressure.
"This guy is an expert."
Chu Ning looked at the other party's ten top-grade Qi Condensation Pills and was also a little amazed. Under such circumstances, he could still refine ten top-grade Qi Condensation Pills in one furnace. His strength was very good.
Coincidentally, this person's eyes also swept over.
It’s not that the other party wanted to look at Chu Ning on purpose, but the two alchemists between them had already started the furnace. At this moment, they left their original positions and their eyes just fell on Chu Ning.
When their eyes met, Chu Ning gave the other person a thumbs up.
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled back at Chu Ning.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Ten top-grade Qi Condensation Pills, an absolute genius in alchemy, Old Xie, you can really get a good disciple this time."
At the top of the mountain, the third-grade alchemists around Xie Shouping also had moved expressions on their faces.
They don't care whether the disciple is a first-grade or second-grade alchemist. As long as they train him carefully, it will only take ten years, which is enough for the disciple to advance from the first grade to the second grade.
Ten years is nothing for a Jindan stage expert.
"Old Xie hasn't accepted any apprentices in many years, but this time I didn't expect to find such a good one."
"You Xing, I will remember this man."
Faced with the envious expressions of those around him, Xie Shouping just smiled and didn't say anything.
…
You Xing glanced at the entire place calmly, not feeling that it was any exception that he was able to refine ten top-grade Qi Condensation Pills.
If his teacher had not asked him to do so, he would not have come to participate in the Alchemy Competition because he already had a master.
Among the first-class alchemists, he believed that there was definitely no one stronger than himself in the Hundred Cities.
After You Xing opened the furnace, there were only a few alchemists left on the scene who had not yet opened the furnace.
Chu Ning did not delay any longer. He formed seals with his hands and opened the lid of the furnace.
However, not many of the people watching around paid attention to his alchemy furnace. Everyone's attention was still attracted by You Xing's ten top-grade Qi Condensing Pills.
At most I just glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.
Eh! Just a glance from the corner of my eye made many onlookers feel as if they were seeing things.
Hey! Hey hey!
Eh, eh, eh! It was not until more and more people heard these exclamations that they were sure that they were not seeing things.
"If I'm not mistaken, these are twelve top-grade Qi Condensation Pills."
Finally, someone in the crowd shouted, and the next moment, everyone's eyes fell on the tray in Chu Ning's hand.
The twelve top-grade Qi Condensing Pills taken out from the alchemy furnace now have a luster inside.
There is no grade difference in the number of elixirs. As long as they are of top quality, they will have a restrained luster. If they are of the best quality, a strange light will appear. Different top quality elixirs will have different strange lights.
You Xing was nearby, and his eyes fell on the tray at the first moment. His pupils contracted, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes, but then this shock turned into fighting spirit.
I didn't expect that I had made a mistake. Thinking about the thumbs up that the other party had given me before, it now feels a little strange.
Bao Huining and the other two who were flying in the air were staring at Chu Ning. Except for Zhang Junming who had a look of shock, Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou had murderous intent in their eyes.
This Chu Ning is hiding his abilities!
"This boy was able to determine whether my pills were poisonous. It wasn't some illusory luck, but this boy had a sensitivity in alchemy that was different from that of ordinary people!"
Bao Huining realized instantly that he had been cheated. Qiong Liangyou, who was standing by, glanced at Bao Huining's gloomy face and felt a little better.
This Chu Ning is definitely a genius in alchemy. Bao Huining originally had the opportunity to recruit him as his subordinate, or at least establish a favor with him, but now all is ruined.
Huang Fei, who was a little far away, paid attention the moment Chu Ning opened the furnace. When he saw the twelve top-grade pills, his breathing became rapid.
He made the right bet.
Chu Ning did indeed hide his talent in alchemy, and it was not just an ordinary talent.
With only a furnace of twelve top-grade Qi Condensation Pills, as long as Chu Ning chooses to join the sect now, the elders of the sect will give him training and attention. Even if Uncle Bao wants to take action against Chu Ning, it may not be that easy.
When he reached the top of Wen Jin Peak, a smile flashed in Xie Shouping's eyes. This kid didn't let him down.
Especially Chu Ning's expression at this moment, calm and composed, as if refining twelve top-grade Qi Condensation Pills was just a trivial matter.
This state of mind made him even more satisfied.
…
…
"In this round of competition, the first place is Chu Ning, the second place is You Xing, and the third place is Ke Yunxin..."
As the referee announced the results, all the onlookers, including the participating alchemists, focused their attention on the three people.
"You are very strong." You Xing whispered to Chu Ning.
"It's just luck. Brother You is not weak either." Chu Ning replied calmly.
You Xing did not respond, but Ke Yunxin nodded: "Yes, sometimes alchemy also depends on luck, but luck is also a part of strength. No matter what, you win this round."
Listening to Ke Yunxin's words, You Xing had a look of disdain on his face. Luck? That was when refining a high-difficulty pill of the same grade. If refining a Qi Condensation Pill still depends on luck, this person is not worthy of being his opponent.
A golden light fell from the mountain and landed in the referee's hands.
The referee looked at the words written by the fifth elder on the paper and said loudly: "The eliminated candidates please leave the alchemy platform. The second round of competition is about to begin. All registered second-grade alchemists please enter the platform."
