155 Another Top-Grade Flawless Pill
Chapter 155
Qiu Yi also looked incredulous and wanted to run over to take a look to see if Feng Ming was cheating or something. How could a pharmacist refine most of the top-grade pills in one furnace?
However, after the pills were refined, the staff collected them for the judges to identify.
After Feng Ming's pills were collected, except for Yu Xiao, Feng Ming's master, the other judges couldn't wait to take a look. Several top-grade pills passed through their hands in turn.
"Yes, it is the top-grade pill that has just come out of the oven."
"This appearance, this medicinal fragrance, it is a genuine top-grade flawless pill."
"Even this top-grade rejuvenation pill is of excellent quality."
Qiu Yi, who also refined a top-grade pill, also had his top-grade pill appraised by the judges.
With the beautiful jade in front, his top-grade pill seemed ordinary, and the aroma of this pill was a little dull.
The audience in the stands also talked a lot. They didn't expect that the simplest first-round first-grade pill refining would cause a lot of commotion, and it seemed not simple at all.
First, nearly half of the pharmacists were eliminated, and many of the second-grade pharmacists were eliminated.
Then there was the appearance of the top-grade pill. Usually, it was extremely difficult to make a top-grade pill. Now that two pharmacists had produced top-grade pills at the same time, it seemed that top-grade pills were not so precious anymore.
But it was only like that. Even the rich and powerful children in the imperial city knew how rare top-grade pills were.
"At first I thought Feng Ming was too arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so capable."
"That's right, Qiu Yi is already outstanding enough, but Feng Ming is even more surprising."
"But this is only a first-grade pill. It is still unclear whether Feng Ming's alchemy skills have surpassed Qiu Yi's. We have to wait and see how he refines second-grade, third-grade, or even fourth-grade pills."
"You are not well-informed, right? Feng Ming has sold many varieties of third-grade pills in his counter at the Wuyi Pavilion of Sihong Academy, and many of them are top-grade pills."
"Anyway, it seems that the most watched competition in this alchemist competition is the competition between Feng Ming and Qiu Yi, and the other alchemists will become supporting roles."
"They were born at the wrong time. Who could have thought that they would run into these two?"
In just the first elimination match, Feng Ming appeared in everyone's sight with a very domineering attitude, and it was no longer because of his background that he attracted the attention of others.
Because it was an elimination match, there was no need to select the best player. All those who remained on the stage successfully advanced to the second round of the elimination match.
The elimination match was very rough and simple. The second round was to refine the second-grade pill.
However, this time, formations were raised around each pharmacist's medicine table to strengthen the protection of the pharmacist himself.
This made the second-grade pharmacist who was eliminated in the first round regret it. Why were they so impatient? As long as they could survive the first round, there was no need to worry about being implicated again.
The second round of refining was also a pill that Feng Ming was very familiar with, Tongmai Pill. After getting the materials, Feng Ming still followed his own rhythm at a leisurely pace.
This time, the audience in the stands no longer felt that he was too slow, and even the referees felt that the two were too patient.
Qiu Chen came to talk to Yu Xiao again: "Your apprentice, can you refine the top-grade flawless pill this time?"
Yu Xiao glanced at him, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to say that he didn't want to talk to him anymore, but he still answered: "It depends on my apprentice's own ideas. Maybe he doesn't want to attract too much attention."
Qiu Chen felt that his question was redundant when he heard it. He kept praising his apprentice. Wasn't it eye-catching enough just now? What else do you want?
Yu Xiao turned his head to watch Feng Ming refining medicine, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He always told the truth, but there were people who didn't believe it. What could he do?
Just because Feng Ming was holding back, he couldn't judge whether he would produce a top-grade medicine. If his disciple didn't hold back, he would definitely give Qiu Chen a positive answer.
His disciple was too good, and he was worried about him.
If Qiu Chen could hear his thoughts, he probably wanted to hit him.
Finally, there were no continuous furnace explosions in the second round, because there was a formation to isolate the movements nearby, and the pharmacist could focus on his own furnace.
Feng Ming's method of refining medicine was also adjusted. Even if there were pharmacists from Shengyuan Sect present, they would not be able to tell that he had inherited the complete medicine refining from Shengyuan Sect.
He and his master had considered this situation long ago, otherwise, it might not have been exposed in such an occasion today.
A master of medicine refining like Qiu Chen must have exchanged ideas with the pharmacists of Shengyuan Sect, so how could he not be familiar with the inheritance and medicine refining techniques of Shengyuan Sect?
Qiu Yi was the first to complete the medicine refining task. He was still full of pills. Although he did not produce any more top-grade flawless pills, he produced seven high-grade pills. He was very satisfied with this result and thought that his performance this time was beyond his usual level.
As soon as he finished, he turned his head to see the situation on Feng Ming's side. After the first round, he no longer underestimated Feng Ming, thinking that he was an arrogant person who relied on Yu Xiao's power.
This man really has the strength to challenge him. He really regards Feng Ming as his opponent.
As for other alchemists, his attitude is the same as before. None of them can catch his eye.
He didn't have to wait too long. Feng Ming also collected the pills. Seeing the nine pills flying out of the pill furnace, Qiu Yi's eyes widened again.
Because there was another top-grade flawless pill with the charm of pills among them. This one pill alone showed that Feng Ming defeated him again in the second round.
"Another top-grade flawless pill!"
The audience in the stands were also shocked. This man's talent in alchemy is too high.
Qiu Chen glanced at Yu Xiao's calm face and twitched his mouth.
The judges from the Medicine Hall had Feng Ming's information in front of them, which clearly stated the time and place when Feng Ming passed the first-grade pharmacist exam. This was specially retrieved by the Medicine Hall.
This guy still has the rank of a first-grade pharmacist, but he never took the exam again. Isn't that infuriating
? In other words, how long has it been since he became an entry-level pharmacist?
Based on this point, his talent for alchemy is indeed better than Qiu Yi's. Qiu Yi not only learned early, but also had the guidance of famous teachers all the way, and was taught by the first-class pharmacists of the Dongmu Dynasty.
On the road of Feng Ming's growth, the one who taught him at first was just a second-grade pharmacist in a small town, and later it was Yu Xiao, the master of alchemy. The resources he obtained were simply incomparable to Qiu Yi.
Jiang Ran and his fellow disciples were sitting a little far away, but they could still see the scene on the stage, and they were all very excited.
"I didn't expect Brother Feng to be so good at refining medicine. We were traveling with them for a while, but we didn't even know it."
Jiang Ran wanted to laugh when he thought of the situation before entering the imperial city: "At that time, we talked about Master Yu Xiao's new disciple, but we didn't even know his name. We didn't expect that this disciple was Brother Feng, and Brother Feng didn't even remind us. It almost made a big joke."
Someone said: "Brother Feng is too low-key. If it was someone else, he might have introduced himself as soon as he met us."
If Qiu Yi and Qiu Chen heard this, they would definitely be speechless. What kind of filter is this? Just look at Feng Ming's behavior and attitude, can it have anything to do with being low-key?
The Eleventh Prince had a very ugly look on his face, and so did the Princess beside him. The better Feng Ming performed, the greater their losses would be.
Such a talented alchemist would achieve greater success in the future.
Once the other party grows up, Feng Ming would not have to do anything, and it would be enough for them to drink a pot of medicine to please Feng Ming.
As for the others, forget it. Lou Minjun knew that the knot between Ning Yuanbo Mansion and Feng Ming would be difficult to untie.
She knew very well that even if someone mediated, Feng Ming would not have any good impression of Ning Yuanbo Mansion, and it was even less likely that the two sides would shake hands and make peace.
Since he had already offended her, it would be better to do it more thoroughly. Lou Minjun became more and more determined in her idea that she would not allow such a person to grow up.
Feng Ming, a man from the lower class, knew too little about the powerful. Did he really think that the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion had come this far without any support and without any trump cards in hand?
No, he was wrong. He would pay a heavy price for his current contempt, and it would be too late to regret it then.
The other princes, especially those who were at odds with the Eleventh Prince, took pleasure in the misfortune.
In their opinion, it was difficult to control Master Yu Xiao, but it would be easy to control Feng Ming, a girl under twenty years old.
If Feng Ming was controlled, wouldn't Yu Xiao be on the same boat with them?
The most regrettable thing was that Feng Ming got married so soon, and the person he married was Bai Qiaomo, who was Pei Changqing's junior disciple and had a high status.
Otherwise, they could have promised Feng Ming a position as a sidekick, the sidekick of the prince, the noble consort of the future emperor. This status was noble enough, how could Feng Ming not be tempted.
Feng Ming... Feng Ming would be too lazy to even talk to these people.
In the second round of eliminations, some people were still eliminated, because there was still only one set of materials, and some pharmacists protested.
However, the referee claimed that even if they were given three sets of materials, they would not be able to make it to the end and become one of the twenty people who qualified.
After the second round of eliminations, there were less than a hundred people left on the stage. This elimination rate was quite high, and Feng Ming was a little surprised. When
he finished refining the elixir, he was still quite interested in holding his chin to watch others refining the elixir. He didn't think that because others' alchemy skills were not as good as his, there was nothing to learn from him.
Before the third round of eliminations began, the atmosphere on the stage was much more solemn than at the beginning.
The pharmacists who remained on the stage looked at each other, and finally cast their eyes on Qiu Yi and Feng Ming.
Although only two rounds have been played, everyone knows that the gap between these two and them is too big, and they have no way to catch up.
Before the league match, although they all knew that Feng Ming was Yu Xiao's new disciple, they didn't care too much.
Even if there is a famous teacher to teach, it is not certain that he can surpass them in the art of refining medicine.
Now they realize that they took it for granted. How could Yu Xiao make an exception for someone who was accepted as a disciple again after many years?
If he appeared in the imperial city, I am afraid that masters like Qiu Chen would rush to accept him.
Qiu Chen did have some regrets in his heart. How could he not have discovered such a genius? Otherwise, he could have shown off his apprentice in front of Yu Xiao, instead of being forced to listen to Yu Xiao showing off his apprentice.
At their level, isn't it just a matter of comparing the apprentices they have taught, and comparing whose apprentice is more talented and has better alchemy skills?
