, wonderful and free of pop-ups! If the trap of identifying medicinal materials is a test of the pharmacist's carefulness and basic skills, the trap of Hemu Scale is a test of the pharmacist's extensive knowledge of alchemy materials. The higher the level, the more effective he will be. In Zhan Yitu's view, these three traps can eliminate at least half of the contestants. More and more minor explosions were heard, and more and more orange and red isolation covers appeared, which also proved this.
And as time went by, many people also discovered that as long as the contestants whose isolation shields turned orange would basically still fail the next two refinements. There are no survivors! Some contestants even chose to give up after failing to make alchemy for the first time.
"I'll just say there's something wrong with this medicinal material."
"I originally thought that the pharmacists were re-screening the medicinal materials to recombine the medicinal materials with the closest quality to improve the quality of the elixir and create other alternatives. Unexpectedly, I was still too naive."
"Looking at it this way, only one of these three sets of medicinal materials can be used!"
"This is too cruel. It gives people hope, but it is actually a dead end."
"What are you talking about? This is a knockout round. If it's so easy and everyone has entered the semi-finals, how can we still choose?"
Of course, there are no exceptions, such as classmate Yun Tai, who has always been the focus of great attention in the VIP seats. She was dissatisfied with the classification of medicinal materials, and it was understandable that she reclassified them herself. However, she disliked that the alchemy cauldrons, magic scales and other tools used were unclean and had to be cleaned again. This made most people who were unaware of it laugh. Is this an opportunity to protest against the Pharmacist Guild's sloppy preparations for the competition?
The Seventh Prince and the Tenth Prince were secretly happy and maliciously speculated that Yun Tai's move clearly showed that he was attacking the Pharmacist Guild.
"Yun Tai is too cautious. I believe that the staff of the guild must have carefully prepared these competition props." The seventh prince Lan Cangqiong said to Zhan Yitu with a smile.
"That's right, what Yun Tai did is really..." The tenth prince Lan Cangming also shook his head.
"Your Highness, I think it's good. After all, elixirs are different from other things. They have to be taken in. No matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious." Zhan Yitu pushed back with a smile. When he was surprised to see Yun Tai actually made a water-based film isolation layer on the scale and stone bowl, Zhan Yitu's smile became even stronger.
Everyone in the Yun family's box was also talking.
Yun Hao saw Yun Tai's behavior and said in surprise: "I don't think Yun Tai has mysophobia." In a dusty place like the military camp, he didn't see anything uncomfortable with Yun Tai.
"This is not mysophobia, but a rigorous work attitude. You must know that these elixirs are refined and eaten by people, so there is no room for mistakes." Shui Xueqian retorted.
"Look." Yun Zhaomei exclaimed.
There were also bursts of exclamations from the audience.
The fifth-level pharmacist in the middle of the first row used fire magic in time after the alchemy furnace cracked, forming a cauldron of pure fire elements, with all the half-refined medicinal materials wrapped in it. This places extremely high demands on the pharmacist's use of magic and control of his mental power.
"This should be at least a fifth-grade pharmacist, and a fifth-grade pharmacist above the intermediate level." Lancang Xi commented.
"You don't know any of your relatives?" What on earth are you doing? Yun Zhaomei gave him a look of contempt. "From my family?" Lancang Xi tried hard to recall. There were only a few royal family members named Lan who matched his age. He had seen them all before, but he really didn't remember seeing this face. "Are you not mistaken?"
"Felicis, a fifth-grade senior pharmacist." Yun Yi explained.
Ferry? Lancang Xi suddenly realized that this must be a relative from his mother's side. And it should be a collateral line, otherwise he would not recognize it.
"It shouldn't be." Yun Hao looked at his elder brother. If you are a fifth-grade senior pharmacist, shouldn't you be able to successfully refine a first-grade elixir with your eyes closed? Why would the furnace explode? If you want to be new and eye-catching, isn't this a bit risky? This is a knockout round, and you can be eliminated directly if you are not careful.
"He's not the only one who blew up the furnace." Yun Yi reminded.
"Did the Dan furnace also do some tricks?" Yun Hao asked in surprise, "This is too..."
"No wonder Yun Tai wants to clean the alchemy furnace." Lancang Xi said with admiration.
Yun Zhaomei raised her chin, feeling proud, without even looking at whose family it belonged to.
As time went by, Shui Xueli started to chew her nails with worry as she watched the pharmacists being eliminated one by one.
"Stop chewing. You can tell by the look on her face that she will definitely pass the primary election." Yun Hao couldn't stand it anymore.
Yun Yi glanced at his brother in surprise.
Yun Zhaomei was sitting aside and winking.
"I want you to take care of it." Even so, Shui Xueqian still put down her fisted hand. But after a while, she unconsciously raised her fist to her mouth again.
His Highness Seventh and His Highness Ten looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good either. Contrary to the expectations of everyone present, they were so upset that so many pharmacists were eliminated from the alchemy making process, including many second-grade and even third-grade pharmacists. And Yun Tai has never failed even once, which is definitely not normal! They couldn't help but start conspiracy theories. Could it be that in order for Yuntai to pass the first round and not lose too badly, someone from the Pharmacist Guild leaked the question? Of course, even if they were guessing in their hearts, the two princes would not be stupid enough to ask out their thoughts. The Pharmacist Guild is not something they can afford to offend now.
"Dang Dang Dang" three bells sounded, indicating that there was not much time left in the game. It refreshed the spirits of many spectators who had turned to drowsiness after being excited.
Several green isolation shields have appeared in the field, which means that the pharmacist has successfully refined a batch of promotion pills.
Zhan Yitu stood up, took a few steps forward, and looked at the giant hourglass hanging in mid-air. The audience also followed his actions and looked at the hourglass, silently starting to count down in their hearts.
When the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass, a puff of green smoke erupted from the bluestone platform facing the cauldron. The originally strong flames quickly diminished and then died out. Those pills that were not being refined were directly turned into waste pills due to this unexpected situation! At the same time, all isolation covers in the venue were also evacuated. All contestants who had not finished refining the alchemy due to timeout were asked to leave the arena.
Zhan Yitu walked to the front desk and glanced around the arena. There was actually one third of the contestants left in the arena. This number surprised everyone. Unlike others who were surprised by such a high elimination rate, Zhan Yitu was surprised that there were so many pharmacists left, and there were many low-level pharmacists among them. This was something he never expected. He stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly, and the noisy venue gradually became quiet.
"Congratulations to all of you who are still standing in the arena. You have successfully refined the first-grade promotion elixir, but this is not the end..." Zhan Yitu said with a smile, "Everyone saw it. When we distributed it, we gave it to Three parts of medicinal materials. So if some smart guys can't remember the prescription of the promotion pill, they are likely to refine a pill that has the same round shape but completely different effects, or a mud ball that has no effect at all. So Next it’s time to test the results…”
An empty list appeared in mid-air, and the numbers on the screen showed that only the top twenty pharmacists could be on the list, which also indicated that only the top twenty pharmacists could enter the final selection, and everyone else would be eliminated. The probability is less than one percent. This cruel number hits people's hearts and makes the hearts of all the viewers and contestants heavy.
Who will be the twenty lucky ones?
