Chapter 149 Pretending to be a Big Wave
Today, the elder who maintains order and presides over the alchemy competition is replaced by Elder Qian.
As soon as he stood there, everyone was unconsciously shocked by the aura he exuded. The voices of whispering gradually disappeared, and the noisy competition scene became quiet in an instant. Everyone's eyes were focused on Elder Qian at the same time.
He was just about to announce the schedule for today's competition when his eyes suddenly met Nan Xiao's. The latter chuckled at him, and Elder Qian instantly had a heart attack.
I feel annoyed when I see her.
Elder Qian silently ignored her, pretending he didn't see her, and solemnly announced the schedule for today's competition:
"Today's competition does not restrict the type of elixir to be refined. Participating disciples can freely combine and refine elixirs based on the spiritual plants provided on the stage within four hours.
The sect leaders will assess and score the pills based on their color, shape, aroma, efficacy, quantity, and other factors. The one with the highest score will win."
As Elder Qian finished speaking, all ten disciples walked towards the area where the spiritual plants were placed. They methodically selected the spiritual plants they needed.
Normally, the time it takes to refine a low-level elixir is 1-2 hours. If you are proficient in the alchemy process, you may be able to complete it in about an hour. Intermediate-level elixirs take 2-4 hours, and high-level elixirs take about 4 hours or even longer.
Because everyone has different habits in alchemy, and each type of elixir has different characteristics, even if the same elixir is refined at the same time, the time to complete it will vary. It depends on the person refining the elixir.
Nan Xiao glanced at the spiritual plants selected by everyone. Most of them were spiritual plants used in intermediate-level elixirs.
Only Jian Mo and Zhang Shuyi chose spiritual plants for high-level elixirs.
She looked at the remaining spiritual plants, thought about the elixir she wanted to refine this time, and then began to pick up the spiritual plants she needed into her bamboo basket.
People in the stands were discussing:
"What's wrong with Nan Xiao? Why is she taking the spiritual plants for both high-level and intermediate-level elixirs? Is she trying to refine a high-level or intermediate-level elixir?"
"With her condition, she can't even make intermediate-level elixirs, so how can she make high-level elixirs? Is it possible? She obviously mistook the spiritual plant for a high-level elixir for a low-level one."
"You have a point."
“.......”
Nan Xiao processed and sorted all the spiritual plants, then took out two alchemy furnaces.
Everyone was stunned by her action.
"No, is she trying to choose which alchemy furnace is more convenient to use?"
"I have no idea what she's thinking."
"Don't care what she thinks. Just remember to laugh at her later."
"That makes sense."
........
On the platform
Sect Master Chang Ning sneered, "Some of these disciples don't follow the right path, but instead pin their hopes on unorthodox methods. How ridiculous!"
Alchemy mainly depends on talent and has little to do with the alchemy furnace. She can't understand this, even though she is an alchemy practitioner.
Lin Jingyuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Master Chang Ning, don't be anxious. I hope you can laugh in a few hours."
He completely believed in Nan Xiao, and there must be a reason why she did this.
Sect Master Chang Ning: "I also give you this sentence. I hope you can be as calm in a few hours."
“...........”
The two of them exchanged words, neither willing to lose.
The Four Phases Sect Leader: “….”
I’m so tired. Why do we have to quarrel every day? What is there to quarrel about?
.....
Nan Xiao had completely immersed herself in alchemy and was oblivious to everything around her.
Since returning from the desert secret realm, she'd tried refining various high-level elixirs within the sect many times, and the results had all been excellent. Now, she'd mastered refining top-tier elixirs, and since she'd never given up, she could control two furnaces simultaneously. While in the sect, she'd always been refining two furnaces of intermediate-level elixirs simultaneously. Today, she was going to try refining one high-level elixir and one intermediate-level elixir.
Since you're installing it, then do it in a big way.
The high-level elixir she refined this time was the Wrathful God Pill, which could help one break through 1-3 small realms in a short period of time (depending on personal potential). The effect of the elixir lasted for half an hour, after which the patient would lose all his spiritual power and become weaker than an ordinary person. He would need to stay in bed for three days to recover.
This elixir is suitable for counterattack in desperate situations. It is not recommended to use it under normal circumstances.
She chose the intermediate-level elixir, the Dust Repellent Pill, which was of medium to high difficulty. Consuming it could remove impurities from the body and make it lighter. She usually liked to take one after a big meal.
Nan Xiao placed the processed spiritual plants into the two alchemy furnaces. She pressed her hands together, her eyes fixed on the two furnaces, and she concentrated on controlling the spiritual fire beneath them.
.....
Her actions undoubtedly shocked the entire audience.
No matter the people in the stands, or the sect leader and elders on the platform, or even Nan Xiao’s fellow disciples.
Ye Wumian said dully, "I know that Junior Sister is awesome at refining pills, but I've never seen anyone this awesome."
Su Xun said, "So Junior Sister always scolds me for not working hard, and I secretly retorted back then. Now, compared to Junior Sister, I am indeed too leisurely."
Jiang Xia: “…”
Suddenly I felt that being the eldest brother was very stressful for him.
He was somewhat glad that his junior sister was talented in alchemy. If she was also talented in swordsmanship, she would definitely sneak away, and then where would he, as her senior brother, put his face?
No, he will have to practice hard in the future.
Lu Huai imitated Nan Xiao's previous behavior and cheered for her.
.......
Someone in the stands reacted and said:
"Is she crazy? Controlling two alchemy furnaces at once, one of which is holding high-level elixirs? Is she really not afraid of the furnaces exploding?"
"Is the explosion of the furnace the main point? The main point is that she can refine two furnaces of pills at once? I just want to ask you, have you seen it?"
"And did you see how she handled the spiritual plant just now? Her hands weren't shaking like they were a few days ago. She looked more nimble and skilled than the disciples next to her."
"I seriously suspect she was just pretending and making fun of us."
"Everyone, stay calm. It's possible she knew she couldn't win and was deliberately pulling this off. We haven't reached the final stage yet, so don't panic. As long as she doesn't succeed in refining it, we can still laugh at her."
"This senior brother is right, stay calm."
........
Spirit Beast Sect
Bai Cheng cheered for Nan Xiao: "Wow, I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect that Junior Sister Nan has made such rapid progress."
Chen Wenxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "Yeah, I underestimated that girl at the beginning."
Fortunately, the girl was smart at that time, otherwise he might have really killed her. If he killed a very talented alchemy cultivator, it would be a huge loss to the cultivation world.
......
Zhuo Hua had a sad face, looking like he had lost all hope in life. He wailed, "It's over, it's over. I have a bad feeling."
He bet 50,000 spirit stones on Third Senior Sister, and originally thought it was a sure win. Junior Sister Nan hid this trick really well.
He seemed to see his spirit stone leaving him, his heart ached, his spirit stone!!!
Zhuo Hua prayed frantically in his heart: Come on, Third Senior Sister, you must win.
Jingzhi frowned, slapped him on the head, and said disdainfully: "Be quiet."
He is noisy all the time and not steady at all.
Zhou Shiqing's expression was also slightly surprised. Third Junior Sister was indeed in danger this time.
