I don't know how long I spent in meditation with my eyes closed, but Yiran was finally awakened by the words "This round of testing is over."
It turned out that no one in the field was continuing to refine the potions, and many people were already slumped on the ground. Several guys close to Yiran looked at Yiran with strange eyes.
Others were exhausted from refining the potion, but this guy did it easily, and the speed of refining the potion was unimaginable.
They also knew that Yiran's grinding time was nearly twice as long as his own, but the speed of refining the medicine was infinitely faster.
Looking at the three jade vases that had been neatly placed on Yiran's desk, I only felt an absurd sense of powerlessness in my heart.
The refining speed is the fastest and the yield of medicine is the highest. In the eyes of people who are more than a year older than them, Yiran is a freak.
Without any trace of the alchemist's arrogance and demeanor, he directly brushed the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, with a wry smile on his lips, but he was lucky in his heart:
"This little guy must be showing off. Maybe he doesn't even have a complete potion in the three jade bottles."
"I've never seen anyone make a potion. The medicine cauldron can stop shaking. Isn't there a conflict between the potions?"
"I know, this guy must have only added insignificant amounts of heart-nourishing lotus seeds and red-blooded vermillion fruits, and even the weightless heart-twisting vines and loquat grass should have been almost omitted."
"Yes, it must be like this. In this way, there will be no collision of medicinal power, and it is natural that the medicinal cauldron will not vibrate."
The dozen or so alchemists near Yi Ran were of different ages and cultivation levels, and their states at the moment were also different, but the thoughts in their hearts were mostly the same.
Outside the game, they will also appreciate the talents of their younger generations. Even if they shoot their elders to death on the beach, it will still be a good thing.
But on the field, it can be said that it is the final moment of life and death, that is, the dead Taoist friend will not die the poor Taoist.
Even if he is destined to die, he doesn't want fellow Taoists to live well.
Yiran ignored their various looks and looked up at Lu Yao at the judges' table. The only expectation in her heart was how to judge the potion's efficacy.
With a smile on his face, Lu Yao tapped his steps in the air, his figure elegant and graceful. After a few steps, he walked from the judges' seat to the middle of the arena.
Yiran was shocked. With his spiritual perception, he could clearly see every step of this martial spirit, but he knew that he could not keep up with him.
This reminded Yiran of a saying he was once familiar with: "The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is fast."
Most of the monks of the same age who had been defeated by him in the past might have had the same idea, but those peers probably lost because they couldn't even see Yiran's movements clearly.
If you want to fight against such a strong person, the gap cannot be bridged by powerful martial arts and pure Qi that far exceeds your inner strength.
If Yiran's thoughts at this moment were known to others, they would definitely make them laugh out loud.
Great Mage and Great Martial Sect are still just terms for cultivation, but at the spiritual level, Martial Spirit and Magical Spirit not only refer to cultivation, but also respect for status.
It would be a huge obstacle for any force in the empire to have a strong spiritual person. The most fundamental reason why Luotian Zonggude's lineage was squeezed into such a situation was that there was no strong spiritual person in charge.
Even if Gude's master possesses spiritual level alchemy skills, it is still not enough.
You can imagine how your strength will change drastically once you step into the spiritual level.
But at this moment, Yiran had already begun to think about how to deal with a strong spiritual level person. It had to be said that he thought a little too early.
After Lu Yao stood still, he raised his left foot and stepped lightly. A stone platform rose from the ground and stopped suddenly when it reached half a person's height.
There is a jade bowl on the stone platform, and there are mysterious runes lingering on the entire stone platform and jade bowl.
After Lu Yao inlaid an extremely pure spirit stone into the groove on the stone platform, fluorescence began to surround the runes, including the jade bowl.
The jade bowl was filled with mist. When the mist became extremely dense, a mini ten-story mist ladder was formed on the bowl.
As the fog ladder gradually turned into reality, Lu Yao took out a jade bottle from the space ring.
He opened the cork of the bottle with his left hand, held the jade bottle with his right hand, and tapped the mouth of the bottle with his index finger. A few drops of jade-like liquid shone with an unconcealable brilliance under the afterglow of the setting sun.
It briefly dragged out a comet-like tail in the air, and finally fell into the jade bowl.
The fourth-level "Ice Jade Spirit Building Liquid" is not a very powerful potion, but if it is placed in the Wind and Fire Principality, even Zhao Yi's medicine cannot guarantee that it will be successfully refined.
Therefore, it is not unusual for fourth-level potions to have strange phenomena.
The moment the potion dropped into the jade bowl, a golden brilliance climbed up from the surface of the fog ladder. One step, two steps, and three steps. In a few breaths, eight of the ten floors of the fog ladder were covered. Golden light.
After an extremely difficult climb, golden light finally illuminated the ninth level of the stairs.
Many people are already familiar with this. This is not their first time participating in the Alchemist Competition. Although the rules are different every year, they are all familiar with the method of testing the efficacy of medicine.
They are not "hillbillies" like Yiran, and they don't know much about many of the "black technologies" possessed by the empire.
In the past, the world relied on technology to change life, but Lingxu Continent relied on various strange formations.
After a short trip to the empire, Yi Ran had a deep understanding of this.
"The potion refined by President Cao Cheng is 90% effective. Then we will use 90% as the standard. Those with an effect of more than 90% will be promoted directly. If the potion is less than 90%, the person from the previous life will be promoted."
"In the order of the names hanging in the air, come to me and pour the refined medicine into the jade bowl."
Lu Yao's speech was still sonorous and powerful, as if every word was a brand, but it was difficult for people to feel close to him.
At such a distance, people can truly feel the majesty of the spiritual level powerhouse.
No matter how the rules change every year, there will always be a premise, that is, alchemists whose medicinal efficacy exceeds Cao Cheng's will be directly promoted.
After so many years, this sentence seems to have become a joke, but it is also a sentence that inspires all alchemists.
It inspires all alchemists not to regard Cao Cheng's achievements as their lifelong pursuit, but as the goal of catching up. It is not impossible to surpass Cao Cheng, a senior, one day.
It's just that since Cao Cheng became the president of the Alchemist Guild, no one has ever refined an alchemist that is more effective than Cao Cheng.
Even if there had been an alchemist who had a complete recipe and refined the potion many times, when compared with the potion refined by Cao Cheng, it was still inferior.
This is why Cao Cheng today was extremely excited when he saw the prescription written by Yi Ran, and was even more shocked when he saw Yi Ran refining the medicine.
After Lu Yao announced the rules, the alchemist number one on the list had already jogged to Lu Yao's side.
The alchemist's name is Tian Pei, a thin middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. He is originally from Linjiang City and has participated in the alchemist competition more times than he can count.
He dared to participate in the Alchemist Competition five years ago. You can imagine how confident he is in his alchemy skills and how eager he is to become famous in Linjiang City.
Confident people naturally have their own support. The powerful alchemy technique has already reached the fifth level. Although it is not certain that it will enter the top ten, it is not completely impossible to compete.
He held two jade bottles to refine two potions, and he was in an extremely energetic state at this moment, which was enough to show his background.
Slightly excited, he raised his hand and dropped the potion from the first jade bottle into the jade bowl. Random golden brilliance began to rise from the fog ladder, one step, two steps, and three steps...
It wasn't until the fifth level was covered with golden brilliance that it finally stopped.
50% effective!
Although there is still a big gap between it and the "Ice Jade Spirit Building Liquid" refined by Cao Cheng, it should not be underestimated.
"The first potion is 50% effective. Put in the second potion."
Lu Yao nodded slightly with satisfaction. He already had an impression of this middle-aged man who had participated in five competitions in succession. He was also quite satisfied with this guy who was expected to become the backbone of Linjiang City's medicine refining industry.
When he saw that the first potion was 50% effective, Tian Pei felt a sense of pride that he did not need to hide. In previous years, such a result was enough to compete in the top ten, not to mention that he still had a second potion!
When Tian Pei dropped in the second potion, the golden brilliance climbed faster. He reached the sixth step in a few breaths, and stopped after half of the sixth step was immersed in golden light.
Sixty-and-a-half percent effective!
At this moment, even Lu Yao looked at this guy with admiration, and it wasn't because of Tian Pei's skill in refining medicine.
But by refining the medicine twice in a row, he was able to achieve such a big improvement, which is enough to show his research and profound knowledge in the art of medicine refining.
After refining for the first time, he immediately absorbed experience and made adjustments to the prescription.
Only in this way can the efficacy of the medicine be increased by half in a short period of time.
After the competition, Tian Pei went back to continue studying this prescription. Not only could it rival Cao Cheng in terms of efficacy, there was a good chance that it would reach 70% or even 80%.
Although Tian Pei was extremely happy, he never raised his head to look at Lu Yao from the beginning to the end, so he could not detect the approval in Lu Yao's eyes.
On the other hand, it can also be seen that Lu Yao has accumulated great prestige in Linjiang City, not because Lu Yao wanted to do this, but when Lu Yao stepped into the spiritual level and was respected as Lu Lingzhe.
It is caused by the awe that spontaneously arises in the hearts of all monks below the spiritual level.
"Tian Pei, the medicine is 65% effective!"
"You are very good."
The following sentence was the first time Lu Yao praised someone since the start of the competition.
Tian Pei kept bowing to Lu Yao as if he was flattered. Before raising his head, he lowered it again and continued to bow.
Just because even if he was praised by Lu Yao, Tian Pei did not dare to look at the lofty Lu Yao at such a close distance.
Without saying anything more to Tian Pei, he said directly: "Second, Ming Yu takes the stage!"
It is true that Lu Yao has some praise for Tian Pei, but it is also the recognition of the efforts of his predecessors, far from being regarded as someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
If Tian Pei could raise his head and look at him without being arrogant, Lu Yao would feel a little more relieved.
Because only those who dare to face themselves will have the ambition to stand with themselves as equals, and will have the opportunity to climb higher in the future, but Tian Pei does not.
So no matter how hard he works in the future, without a great opportunity, whether it is to break through the spiritual level in cultivation or to reach the spiritual level in refining medicine, it will be an extremely difficult thing.
This is why Lu Yao believes that he can only become the backbone of Linjiang City.
As Tian Pei walked off the stage, Ming Yu, who was second in line, also jogged to Lu Yao's side.
As the bloated body ran, the fat kept trembling, as if it would make the ground shake. Even though he did not dare to look at Lu Yao, his face was full of flattery.
He held the only jade bottle in his hand and slowly poured a few drops of medicine into the jade bowl.
All that was waiting for was Lu Yao's emotionless words: "Thirty percent of the medicine is effective, next one!"
