Chapter 574 Meng Qingxue is in a terrible state, no one can compare [2 updates]
An Ling was getting anxious.
The lottery system is absolutely fair.
The slips of paper with names written on them were placed in a box, and the Grand Elder of the Dan Alliance drew them out personally.
Fu Chen finally woke up a bit, but was still sleepy: "What's over?"
"Brother Fu, you're finally awake." An Ling shook his shoulders frantically. "In the competition, Miss Zijing drew Qingxue."
"Oh." Fu Chen rolled his eyes and turned over. "Then Meng Qingxue is in trouble. It depends on whether she's going to take the competition seriously. If she goes easy on her, things will be better."
An Ling frowned: "Brother Fu, you're confused from sleeping, aren't you saying it backwards?"
Is Meng Qingxue miserable?
Even if Fu Chen himself went up to participate in the competition, he would at most be evenly matched with Meng Qingxue.
“I didn’t say it backwards.” Fu Chen forced himself to stay alert. “I’m telling you, my master… Miss Ying is unparalleled.”
Even if their ancestor came, he still couldn't compare in medical skills.
In the entire field of ancient medicine, who can compare to Ying Zijin when it comes to alchemy?
An Ling lowered her voice: "Brother Fu, tell me honestly, have you taken a liking to Miss Zijing?"
"Holy crap." This sentence completely woke Fu Chen up. He threw the fan in his hand and covered An Ling's mouth tightly. "Shut up!"
There's a real master of ancient martial arts sitting right next to me.
This is the ancient medical world, and none of the guards present have a cultivation level as high as Fu Yunshen's.
Does he even want to live anymore?
Fu Chen immediately said, "I swear, I have no feelings for Miss Ying whatsoever, heaven and earth bear witness."
Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids slightly: "You wouldn't dare either."
"..."
**
Since it was the first round, Ying Zijin had already gone on stage.
On the other side, the Meng family's guards pushed Meng Qingxue up.
"Qingxue," An Miaomiao tugged at her clothes, "Don't take the competition too seriously later."
"What are you talking about?" Meng Qingxue frowned. "This is a competition, how can you throw the game? Everything must be fair and just."
An Miaomiao asked in confusion, "This isn't an important competition. What I mean is, could you make some medicine with lower toxicity so that Miss Ying doesn't get too hurt?"
Meng Qingxue pursed her lips and clenched her fists: "Whether it's important or not, this is a competition."
An Miaomiao was holding her breath, almost suffocating.
She found that she simply couldn't communicate with Meng Qingxue.
Why be so blunt and inflexible?
On the stage, the Grand Elder of the Pill Alliance frowned and said in a low voice, "Miss Ying, if it really doesn't work out, you can withdraw halfway through."
The field of traditional medicine has held many such competitions, and there have been instances of people losing their lives in the past.
Ying Zijin is a member of the Dan Alliance, which is still developing and has a bright future.
The Pill Alliance cannot afford to lose a genius who is destined to become a top alchemist.
Ying Zijin nodded: "I know what I'm doing."
The Grand Elder was still worried and watched from the side.
The medicinal herbs are all on the table for both parties to choose from.
Meng Qingxue coughed a few times: "Miss Ying, please go first. Do you really need the Snow Jade Ginseng?"
Ying Zijin turned her head.
Meng Qingxue spoke again: "Even if I win, I can give it to you."
A healthy body is a gift from your parents; there's no way to compare it.
But when it comes to alchemy, we can certainly compare.
She is still talented enough to surpass Ying Zijin.
Ying Zijing didn't reply. After selecting the medicinal herbs, she walked to the medicine furnace on the left and sat down cross-legged.
The ancient doctors also saw the medicinal herbs she selected.
These medicinal herbs can only be used to refine one type of poison, the Huajin Dan.
After taking it, your internal energy will be sealed for a period of time.
Meng Qingxue also began selecting medicinal herbs.
The elder frowned and quickly determined the poison that Meng Qingxue was trying to concoct based on the medicinal herbs.
Severing Vein Pill.
This kind of poison is very dangerous.
Given Ying Zijin's current strength, this is not an easy question to answer.
Both sides need to refine three medicines.
A poison, the antidote, and the antidote for the other's poison.
They watched intently from the sidelines.
Midway through, many people noticed something was wrong.
"Brother Fu, something bad has happened!" An Ling slapped Fu Chen's shoulder, his eyes widening slightly. "Qing Xue didn't refine the Meridian Severing Pill, but the Meridian Shattering Pill."
Both types of pills use the same medicinal materials, only the amount of each material differs.
However, the latter is fifty times more toxic than the former.
Once the Shattering Pulse Pill is ingested, pain will occur in the limbs within one minute.
Three minutes later, the pain spread to my heart and lungs.
If there is still no antidote within five minutes, the heart and pulse will be severed.
Of course, the Shattering Pulse Pill is not an absolutely incurable poison, nor is it a very high-level poison.
For the older generation of ancient doctors, detoxification is a piece of cake, after all, they have been studying this field for a long time, which is something that younger generations cannot compare to.
However, for the younger generation, the Shattering Meridian Pill is simply incurable.
Even a genius like Fu Chen doesn't know how to refine the antidote for the Shattered Pulse Pill.
"Young Master Fu, this competition can't be stopped." An Ling looked at Fu Yunshen again. "The competition is unpredictable, what can we do?"
Fu Yunshen's eyes deepened, and his voice was cold: "On the field, there are indeed no eyes."
Other ancient doctors whispered among themselves.
"The Shattering Meridian Pill, I remember. Even the Pill Alliance and its elders couldn't refine an antidote for this pill."
"It seems that Miss Qingxue's medical skills have indeed improved considerably."
"Although Miss Zijing is a genius, she has not had enough time to refine medicine. I don't know if she has ever heard of the Shattering Meridian Pill."
The First Elder noticed it too, his brows furrowing: "Fourth Brother, what should we do?"
Once the match started, they couldn't interfere.
Who knew Meng Qingxue was really serious?
Only Ying Zijin sat calmly and unmoved before the medicine furnace.
However, her hand turned a corner.
She was originally going to pick up a small blue flower, but first she picked up a green blade of grass, slowly crushed it with her hands, and put it into the medicine furnace.
Her action also attracted the attention of the ancient doctors.
Those invited to participate in the winter hunt are all outstanding members of the three top ancient medical families, and naturally, one can see the differences between them.
An Ling frowned: "Brother Fu, did she put the herbs in the wrong order? I remember it should be Tianlan Flower first, then Green Star Grass. Why did she do it the other way around?"
The order in which medicinal ingredients are used in the refining of elixirs is very important.
If it's reversed, the elixir embryo might not even be formed.
Fu Chen was also staring at it.
Although he was puzzled, he believed that with Ying Zijin's abilities, she couldn't have changed the order of the medicinal ingredients so easily: "It must be a new poison."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized a problem, and his expression changed slightly.
He knew Ying Zijin was very capable, so he wasn't worried.
However, it is understandable that An Ling and An Miaomiao are anxious because they are unaware of this.
Meng Qingxue was also unaware of the situation, yet she immediately began to concoct a poison that was incurable for him.
Ying Zijing hasn't shown much, so in the eyes of others, among the younger generation, she is indeed still quite far from being on par with Fu Chen, Meng Qingxue, and An Miaomiao.
Even the Meridian Severing Pill would be very difficult for her.
Meng Qingxue even refined the Shattering Meridian Pill.
If Ying Zijing's medical skills are truly at the level she has demonstrated, this pill will certainly harm her body, if not kill her.
Fu Chen's expression turned slightly somber.
Time passed second by second, and the aroma of the medicine grew stronger and stronger.
"Time's up—" Finally, the Grand Elder stood up. "Both sides leave the antidote and hand over the poison."
Meng Qingxue wiped away her sweat, her face slightly pale, and handed the poison to the guard beside her.
The guards delivered it to the Grand Elder.
"This is a Shattering Meridian Pill, this is—" The Grand Elder was somewhat perplexed.
Ying Zijing changed the order of the medicinal ingredients; who knows if this is still the Huajin Pill?
Meng Qingxue simply looked at the girl and asked, "Miss Ying, would you like to go first or should I?"
Of course, she wouldn't let anything happen to Ying Zijing. She had the antidote on hand, and taking it in time wouldn't harm her body.
She just wanted to prove that she was better than Ying Zijing.
Fu Yunshen was right below.
Ying Zijin said indifferently, "It doesn't matter."
Before the Grand Elder could stop her, the girl had already taken the Shattering Meridian Pill.
After taking the antidote, she also took the Pulse-Shattering Pill.
Everyone present tensed up and stared intently at the girl.
The Grand Elder didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
If Ying Zijing experiences any adverse reactions, the Dan Alliance will provide immediate medical assistance.
But after a second, two seconds... a full minute, Ying Zijing still didn't react.
She also yawned, looking a little sleepy.
The audience was completely silent.
"..."
As is well known, antidotes are always more difficult to concoct than poisons themselves.
The ancient medical community has also paid attention to the poison masters on the NOK forum rankings, so they know that many poison masters first create new poisons before they begin to work on antidotes.
Some of the world's most potent poisons are so rare that even the poison masters themselves cannot find an antidote.
But now, Ying Zijing has consumed the Shattering Meridian Pill refined by Meng Qingxue, and not only is her heart meridian completely severed, she doesn't even have the slightest reaction.
Doesn't this prove that her medical skills are in no way inferior to Meng Qingxue's?!
An Ling turned her head in a daze: "Brother Fu, so what you said was true."
Fu Chen rolled his eyes: "Nonsense."
Meng Qingxue pursed her lips.
The Shattering Meridian Pill has been neutralized?
How is that possible?
She subconsciously looked down at the audience, and her heart clenched as if stabbed with needles.
The Grand Elder also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Meng Qingxue: "Miss Qingxue, it's your turn."
Although Meng Qingxue was in poor health, the Meng family head really didn't believe that a newly emerging alchemist could stump her.
Unfortunately, they couldn't actually poison Ying Zijing.
The head of the Meng family looked at the girl with a thoughtful expression.
Meng Qingxue first ate the antidote she had made, then took the poison pill that Ying Zijin had refined from the guard and swallowed it in front of everyone.
