After the video was played for the first time, everyone showed a blank expression.
At first, they heard Shang Susu say that this was a failed alchemy refining, and they thought it was to give them test questions. Yan Mingchao deliberately made some mistakes during the alchemy refining to test you and the others.
But after seeing the images, they found that this was not the case at all.
Yan Mingchao could not see any flaws in the entire alchemy process, and in the end, he even made six top-grade elixirs. There were no raw elixirs, pasted elixirs, or broken elixirs, making it impossible to find any faults.
If I have to find some flaws, I can only say that the quality of the six elixirs seems to be a bit low. With Yan Mingchao's extraordinary methods, he should be able to refine them to higher quality.
Another headache for them is that they have never heard of the elixir Yan Mingchao refined, so they cannot compare it with their inherent theoretical knowledge and then find faults.
This requires them to first deduce the effect of the elixir through the elixirs and materials used by Yan Mingchao, and then think, ponder, and deliberate based on the overall situation to discover the problems that occurred in Yan Mingchao's elixir refining process and how to correct them in order to refine higher-level elixirs. The best elixir.
This obviously tests their true talents and learning.
This seems to be exactly what they expected.
But everyone frowned. They really wanted to test their real talents and knowledge, rather than seeing that the person asking the question was trying to be clever, but this question was really too difficult and beyond their tolerance.
"Hey, if you think about it, it's not surprising that the questions set by Grandmaster Yan himself are not difficult. You can write a little bit, just in case you get it right. Even if you get a zero score in the exam, you will be lucky enough to watch Grandmaster Yan make alchemy. This It’s worth the trip.”
"Instead of finding fault with Grand Master Yan, I might as well write down every detail and go back to study and learn his alchemy techniques."
Many people secretly whispered in their hearts.
Some people think well. This is indeed a rare learning opportunity for them.
After Shang Susu played the image in the other four directions, she put away the jade slip.
Some people are holding pens with frowns on their faces, not knowing how to write.
Some people had smiles on their lips and were secretly happy because they had engraved the image in their minds exactly.
Zhang Xiaozu belongs to the former.
The excellent results in the previous three preliminary rounds and the first main round made him confident. He felt that no test question could stump him and make him unable to answer a word. He never thought that he would encounter it now.
After watching it five times, he only had six words: perfect, impeccable.
He felt that he would not be able to master Yan Mingchao's elegant and natural alchemy techniques for another ten years of practice.
If he had to find fault, it would be that Yan Mingchao practiced too slowly. If he had been asked to practice, half the time would be enough.
But he relied on the power of momentum and couldn't write it on the answer sheet.
"Grandmaster Shang Da has already said that this was a failed alchemy, so something must have gone wrong, but what exactly went wrong?"
"If you let me refine it without using the power of momentum, how can I make adjustments to do it better?"
Zhang Xiaozu was puzzled.
After an hour passed, his answer sheet was still blank.
He turned his head and glanced to the right, and had the idea of taking a peek in his mind.
Sitting on his right is Qi Jinyao.
I thought I could just copy half of it.
But his sight and deep state of mind were blocked by the forbidden light curtain.
He hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to try to use his subtle state of mind to forcefully break through the restricted light curtain, because if he was discovered, it would be embarrassing to be kicked out of the examination room.
The embarrassment is nothing. If you are thick-skinned, you will get over it. The main reason is that you missed a great opportunity to get close to Qingyun Peak.
"I couldn't do any better."
Finally, Zhang Xiaozu wrote seven words on the answer sheet.
He knew that if these seven words fell, he would lose the chance to compete for the first place, but he could only sigh helplessly and blame himself for not being good at learning.
Just thinking about the purpose of this trip
, couldn't help but frown.
He came to participate in this alchemy competition at first because he listened to the temptation of the old beggar's words and came for the reward of Taiyin Yang Danhuo. However, he knew very well how much he weighed, so he just held out hope that if he got lucky, he would win. The first lucky idea.
Later, after three months of special training by the old beggar, coupled with his skillful use of the power of aura, his confidence in fighting for the first place skyrocketed.
Later, he thought that if he could win the first place in the alchemy competition and become Linlang Pavilion's talker in Zhongyue, he would be famous for thousands of miles. After being heard by Niu Dawa and others, he came to find them, which gave birth to him. The thought of competing for first place.
"If I can't get the Taiyin Sun Danhuo, it would be an unexpected surprise if I could capture Qingyun Peak."
"Being famous doesn't mean you have to win the first place. If you can take Senior Yan as your teacher, you can still make a splash."
"If that doesn't work, you can still borrow the reputation of Dao Ancestor."
After thinking about it like this, Zhang Xiaozu's frown gradually relaxed, then he put the pen on the pen holder and lay down on the desk to take a nap.
When the exam was over, the invigilator came over to collect Zhang Xiaopou's answer sheet. After seeing the seven big characters on the paper, he stood there stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing, and then left with difficulty concealing his joy.
Zhang Xiaozu knew that the invigilator was happy for Liu Zhihuan, because after handing in this answer sheet, he would lose the qualification to compete for first place, and Liu Zhihuan would lose a strong competitor.
"Oh my god, what kind of devilish test question is this? We are actually asked to find fault with Grandmaster Yan. As far as I am half-assed, even if Grandmaster Yan squints his eyes and practices, I can't fault him."
"It's so miserable. I have to take the single-digit test again. No, I may not even get the single-digit test. It's very likely that I will be a zero-egg!"
The restraining light curtain was removed, and a more tragic wailing sounded from the grass than after the first exam.
"Brother Zhang, what did you answer? I'm probably going to die this time."
Liu Zhihuan came over to ask Zhang Xiaopou with a sad look on his face.
Everyone else also leaned towards Zhang Xiaozu, wanting to hear Zhang Xiaozu's answer, as if Zhang Xiaozu had the correct answer.
Zhang Xiaozhu smiled and replied: "This question is very simple. I only wrote seven words, and then I lay on the desk and fell asleep."
"ah?"
"real or fake?"
"Brother Zhang, tell us quickly."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Zhang Xiaozhu burst into laughter and counted on his fingers: "I can't do better, seven words."
Liu Zhihuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, don't be joking. Seriously, how did you answer?"
"I'm not kidding, that's really what I said." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
Liu Zhihuan stared into Zhang Xiaozu's eyes and found that he did not seem to be joking, so he asked dubiously: "Really?"
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."
"You are really good!" Liu Zhihuan gave Zhang Xiaopou a thumbs up.
Zhang Xiaozhu sighed and said, "I thought about it for an hour, but I really can't see what's wrong with it, so I can only give up."
"Haha, Brother Zhang, you are not alone, I also wrote the same thing." A person laughed.
"IM about the same."
"Me too."
As a result, dozens of people agreed.
Liu Zhihuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really good at it. Write a few sentences and maybe it will be right. Miss Qi, how did you answer?"
"I...I wrote ten." Qi Jinyao whispered back.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at Qi Jinyao with their eyes wide open.
Zhang Xiaozu was also surprised.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Qi Jinyao immediately blushed, lowered her head and muttered: "I wrote it all in random. I'm afraid none of it is right. I'm afraid that my nonsense will offend the great master."
"Don't worry, Grandmaster Yan will definitely not blame us for getting our answers wrong." Liu Zhihuanan
"What did you write in the first article?"
"First, I think the Grand Master didn't give the alchemy furnace enough time to warm up. It would be better if he extended the two-breath time...right? I just wrote it blindly."
"Haha, Miss Qi and I thought the same thing." Liu Zhihuan laughed.
