Chapter 75: Geniuses are always different
According to the rules of the Great Chu Dynasty Alchemist Conference.
The first round is the preliminary round, and all except the third-grade alchemists and above must go on stage to compete.
Neither the contestants nor the many spectators at the scene had any objections to this.
After all, the level of a third-grade alchemist is enough to prove their strength, which is far beyond the reach of a second-grade alchemist.
Boom boom boom. As the first match of the Alchemist Conference began, in the center of the square, on a four-story pyramid-shaped arena, on the first and second floors, there were tens of thousands of alchemists distributed in all directions, bursting out with powerful qi and blood forces that turned into fuel to nourish the flames of the alchemy furnace.
Thousands of fires are raging and the fragrance of elixir is everywhere.
This is something that happens at every Alchemist Conference. Even though some people have seen this scene more than once, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Come on, Mr. Huang, you are the best."
"Dandan, come on, you must advance to the next round."
"Without those geniuses who have reached the level of third-grade alchemists, my son Li Hua would definitely come out on top."
“.”
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became noisy.
Even those powerful men from the sixth and fifth ranks who were floating high in the air could not help but cast their gazes. They were concerned about the situation of the disciples in their own forces, and also wanted to see if there were any wild talents that they could recruit into their sect or employ as priests in their own families.
It can be said that a big part of the reason why these forces are so actively participating in the Alchemist Conference is because of this.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After four rounds of preliminary competition among tens of thousands of second-grade alchemists, one hundred second-grade alchemists were finally selected to advance to the next round.
"Please invite our third-rank alchemist to step onto the third level of the competition arena to participate in the competition and determine the top 100."
A fifth-rank alchemist from the Alchemist Association walked to the top of the stage and announced loudly.
Suddenly, from the seats suspended in the void, many colorful energy chains transformed into long bridges leading to the third floor of the arena.
Dozens of young men wearing moon-white alchemist robes embroidered with three white pill patterns stepped from their seats onto the long bridge and walked towards the third level of the arena step by step.
Lin Ling is no exception.
In addition to these geniuses who came from various major forces, there were also several geniuses scattered among the people who had no major forces behind them. With the blessings of their family elders, they could only look up with envy and jealousy at the figures of their peers walking in the sky, taking heavy steps, and walking towards the arena step by step.
"With my talent for alchemy, after today, I should be able to enjoy special treatment like those geniuses, right?"
Thinking in their hearts, the further these young men walked, the more the light in their eyes flickered, and a trace of something called ambition spread in their hearts.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, the competition officially begins."
Seeing that many alchemists had arrived, the fifth-rank alchemist who presided over the alchemist conference immediately announced loudly.
Puff, puff, puff. Lights that were brighter than the flames in the previous ten furnaces rose up from their furnaces.
Sizzle, sizzle. When the elixirs met fire, the sharp sound exploded, echoing between heaven and earth.
The alchemists on the stage threw the elixirs beside them into the furnace, refining them into pools of medicinal liquid that floated on one side of the furnace.
Among the more than one hundred alchemists present, most were second-grade alchemists. Even the dozens of third-grade alchemists were mostly in the early third-grade stage. There were no more than twenty intermediate third-grade alchemists, and only a handful of advanced third-grade alchemists.
Therefore, the pill that needs to be refined for this competition is a third-grade pill.
The difficulty is only slightly higher than the simplest third-grade elixir.
"Brother Lin, who among them do you think can refine the blood exchange pill first?"
At this time, the King of Chu on the side suddenly asked Lin Chen.
"Brother Chu, you will know after reading this. Anyway, the genius of my Lin family will not let me down."
"oh?"
Hearing Lin Chen's confident words, the King of Chu was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but feel excited.
He knew that this Alchemist Conference was a contest between the Yun Family and the Dan Sect.
They are all determined to get first place.
If at the end of the fight he discovered that the champion was neither his opponent nor himself, but Lin Ling, whom he had always believed was young and needed another year or two of training, he found that scene interesting just by thinking about it.
Just like that, a few hours later, as the first blood exchange pill was successfully produced, it was like a domino effect, and people continued to refine this pill.
But more contestants consumed three portions of medicinal materials but failed to refine them all.
Left sadly.
After many contestants handed in the pills they had made.
Soon, the fifth-grade alchemist who presided over the Alchemist Conference came to the stage again.
"Now I announce the ranking of the competition."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"First place, Lin Ling, took three hours and a quarter. The quality of the pill is superb, and the efficacy is 15% higher than the same level pills."
"Second place, Dan Chen, took three hours and two quarters of an hour. The quality of the pill is superb, and the efficacy is 10% higher than the pills of the same level."
"Third place, Yun Li, took three hours and three quarters of an hour. The quality of the pill is superb, and the efficacy is 10% higher than pills of the same level."
“.”
"Ninth place, Jin Zhicheng, took four hours and a quarter, and the quality of the pill is top-notch."
“.”
Hiss. First place, Lin Ling?
At a quarter of an hour, the drug's efficacy is still 15% higher than that of the same level?
Oo?
When everyone heard the news announced by the host, they opened their mouths wide, their eyes full of disbelief.
Although the Blood Exchange Pill is only a third-grade primary pill, it cannot fully demonstrate the level of a third-grade advanced alchemist or above.
But under the same conditions, Lin Ling was able to refine elixirs with stronger efficacy faster than Yun Li, Dan Chen and others, which already explains a lot.
At the very least, her foundation and talent are not comparable to the latter.
"Hehe. Now we are going to have something interesting to watch. As a third-grade high-level alchemist, with Lin Ling's profound background, he may be able to win the championship of this competition."
"Yes, yes. I originally thought that Lin Ling, this dark horse, could only make it to the top five at most. I didn't expect that I underestimated her. She is definitely a strong contender for the championship."
"Next, there will be something interesting to watch."
“.”
After a brief silence, the audience at the scene suddenly burst into noise.
Although they were very surprised at Lin Ling's performance, everyone had already accepted his personality as an alchemy genius. Even though his performance was a little more outstanding than they had imagined, they were quickly accepted.
After all, geniuses are always different, right?
