Two chances of trial and error were already an unacceptable condition for such an unpopular and difficult potion, but now it was a competition instead of doing research at home.
I demonstrated each step in my mind one by one. Although this demonstration can provide a good idea for pharmacists, after all, a demonstration still requires real practice to be realized.
There are a total of nineteen kinds of herbs and additives required, each of which is a challenge. Although no additional requirements were made this time, Lin Xingchen would not be foolish enough to think that they were not necessary.
Preparing a medicine that you have never come into contact with. Even though you have the most detailed recipe, many things cannot be done just by looking at the recipe.
The first preparation went very smoothly in the early stages, as his solid basic skills allowed him to handle it with ease. However, in the middle and late stages, some thinking issues became apparent.
Although the transformation potion is not as violent as the magic boiling or magic liberation potions, and may explode if a mistake is made, the release of the magic inside has also brought considerable trouble to the masters.
As the medicine in the beaker in his hand gushed out directly in his hand, Lin Xingchen failed in his first preparation.
He was already much better than some of the remaining nine masters. Taking a deep breath and looking around, Lin Xingchen discovered something interesting.
Diagonally opposite him, there was a master who was very proficient in transformation potions. He had already prepared one bottle and was in the process of preparing the second bottle.
The layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details. Lin Xingchen concentrated on watching the man preparing the medicine quickly. Even Lin Xingchen felt that the man's handling of some parts was excellent.
He benefited a lot from this trip. In fact, he was not the only one who watched the gentleman's preparation techniques.
I think Atem was also watching. Lin Xingchen took a quick look at the remaining nine people and found that at least four of them were watching.
As soon as they stopped, the audience didn't know what they were doing! However, those who came to watch the game were also very intuitive and didn't shout loudly. Everyone was concentrating on watching the game below, even though they were all pretending.
Seeing that the man succeeded again in the end, Lin Xingchen closed his eyes and silently demonstrated it again in his mind. Combining what he had just seen with his own experience and techniques, a new idea soon appeared in his mind. The second preparation was obviously much smoother than the first time.
This time he did not pursue any extraordinary results, but prepared the transformation potion in a conventional way. Only after he succeeded once did he know from which aspect he should explore the potion a second time.
The color of the transformation potion after it is formed is very ugly, just like muddy water in a muddy field, and the smell is also very unpleasant.
With a successful experience, he has a reference point. If the second one is a mediocre score of 60 points, then the third one is his weapon to challenge the highest score or even the score beyond the standard.
When he picked up the herbs again, his heart calmed down. He didn't care about the bet at all. The breakthrough of the fourth level of Yin Yang Jue had a very magical effect, which was to reconnect a broken arm.
Lin Xingchen did not intend to tell anyone about this ability, because there were too many things involved, so many that he did not even dare to mention it to anyone.
Just like a rich man will start to enjoy himself after accumulating enough money, Lin Xingchen is now also enjoying the wealth that pharmacy has brought him.
Every time the medicine is added, it is a pleasant process for both body and mind. Watching the medicine rolling in the small beaker is like watching your own children playing naughtily. And every time a medicine is added, the medicine liquid has more connotation, which makes people happy, just like seeing the children grow up healthily.
Finally, the whole potion was completed after the amoeba powder, which was the soul of the transformation potion, was put in. He carefully admired his greatest achievement. He was not narcissistic but really felt that this bottle of potion was perfect.
"Everyone, the time is up. Please stop what you are doing!" Master Kama's voice came, and several people who had not finished their work had to stop what they were doing temporarily.
Although the nine final contestants finally submitted their works, after being reviewed by the judges, all nine of them passed this round unanimously.
The people who breathed a sigh of relief immediately cheered up again, because the fourth round, which was also the crucial round to decide who would be the winner of this year's pharmacist competition, had arrived.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fourth and final round. We will judge this round by ranking. I hope you will pay attention and not miss this once-in-a-decade event."
"The fourth round of questions will still be chosen for us by the Lord of Xiali!" Kama shouted with a hint of anticipation.
Lord Xiali reached into the box again with melancholy in his heart. Yesterday he stirred the box a few times and pulled out a question that made everyone curse. Today he didn't plan to make any more trouble and just took out a card.
When he reached in and touched the first note, he grabbed it tightly, but for some reason he let go of the note and picked up a random piece of paper from the side.
Master Kama took the note, looked at the name on it, looked at Lord Xiali with a strange look, and finally shook his head and handed the note to the judges present.
"I announce that the topic for the fourth round is... free choice!" Kama said helplessly.
Everyone in the audience booed and freely chose the name of a potion they had never heard of before.
"Please stop making a fuss and listen to my explanation.
Free choice is not the name of a potion, but contestants can choose a recipe of their own to complete the competition, but... remember there is a but.
This is the most difficult question, because it has many prerequisites. First, in addition to completing the most basic potion, you also need to explore all the potential spaces of this potion, and our judges will score you based on the extent of exploration of the potion you have prepared. "
"You are all masters who have been immersed in medicine for many years. You will naturally understand what I mean. You can specify the herbs you need and we will provide them for you."
"Master Xingchen, I wonder if there is anything you would like to know?" Seeing Lin Xingchen raise his hand to signal, Kama was also very polite.
"Master Kama, I just prepared two bottles of transformation potions in the third round. Can I use one of them as my entry for the fourth round?"
"Master Atem, what questions do you have and what information do you want?"
"My question is the same as Master Xingchen's. Can I use the third round works as my entries for the competition?" When Atem heard that Lin Xingchen actually wanted to use the third round works as his entries for the fourth round, he was unwilling to fall behind others in order to avoid being accused of winning unfairly.
After hearing this, the judges whispered to each other and finally reached a consensus: "After unanimous discussion among the judges, we agree with the two masters' proposal to use the transformation potion prepared in the third round as the work for the fourth round."
"Of course, this is limited to the two of them. If there is another master who is willing to use the transformation potion, we can agree to it!"
"If no one raises any objections or questions, then please submit the names of your own potions so that we can prepare herbs for everyone."
"Master Xingchen, you are very confident. If it weren't for the matter of Carter and the life-extending potion, I think we would have been able to have a good discussion. Unfortunately, the life-extending potion is very important to me." Everyone else was busy, and as two idle people, they could naturally chat on the side.
"Maybe, but like you said, the life-extending potion in my hand is the beginning of the conflict. You and I will reach this point no matter when!" Lin Xingchen would not be moved by such a light remark.
"I'm very curious about where a person like you came from. Ever since I heard that a top master appeared in Kalonya, I have been paying close attention to him. I have competed with most of the top masters in the demon world. I am very curious about someone who suddenly appeared like you."
"It's a secret!" Lin Xingchen smiled.
"I've seen your bottle of Transfiguration Potion. Although I haven't used it to check it, I think you have a high chance of losing because my bottle has reached its limit.
Whether it is the world structure, quality or the time of the potion, it is impeccable. I wonder how you plan to defeat me? "At this time, Artem chatted with Lin Xingchen with a smile on his face.
"From your tone, it seems that you care deeply about preserving my hands. Master Atem, please tell me directly, how can I keep these hands!"
"That's great. I have an organization behind me that really needs capable people like you. If you agree to join, not only can I break the bet, but I can also provide you with many rare potion formulas!"
"Although a pair of hands is very important, you should also understand that for me, it is better to cut off my own hands than to serve others. Even without hands, I can still live freely!"
"My organization is a loose one and does not have much binding force. It's just that simple that you need to complete the task when we need you!" Atem still felt that it was necessary to win over Lin Xingchen. The most important thing was that Lin Xingchen was young enough and had no powerful background behind him.
"Although your proposal is very good, I am still very confident in myself. Besides, I will never admit defeat until the last moment. We will only know who will win and who will lose at the last moment. And I don't think Master Kama will gamble the reputation that the association has accumulated over tens of thousands of years to favor you."
"Karma and the others will certainly not gamble on the reputation of the association. They will definitely make it fair because I also have confidence in myself!"
