Hearing Lu Yao's extremely cold tone, Ming Yu's heart was as rough as the sea when a typhoon came, and the fat on his body could not help but tremble. He involuntarily stepped back and fell on the stone platform. Down.
But no one in the audience sympathized with the fat man.
Except for the 30% of the alchemists who failed to refine the potion and were eliminated, a dozen of the remaining eighty or so people walked towards Lu Yao and poured the ice jade spirit-building liquid they had refined into the jade bowl.
As a result, most of the results obtained were only 30% to 40%, and none reached 50%.
He was full of confidence when he came, but he left quickly and disgraced under Lu Yao's cold eyes.
Lu Yao's face finally turned ugly when none of the 20 people reached 50%. He felt inexplicably powerless in his heart, that he was at the top at the beginning and was a scum in the future.
When he saw clearly that the 32nd person was Song Li, the younger member of the clan who Song An had high hopes for, his face became slightly better.
Unlike others, Song Li often studied alchemy with Song An. He was not a disciple but a disciple. Therefore, it can be said that Song Li's respect for Lu Yao was much less than that of others.
In the eyes of Song Li, Lu Yao was like a stern elder. Although he was extremely majestic, he had no restraint in treating superiors.
Lu Yao looked on the stage at Song Li who was walking towards him and the three jade bottles in his hands, and his expression finally softened.
The previous thirty people were either not strong enough in refining medicine or had insufficient cultivation, and could not even refine the second potion, but Song Li was different.
His cultivation level has reached that of a great mage, and his alchemy skills have also entered the fifth level. Although it is difficult to refine three fourth-level potions, Song Li has obviously overcome this.
"Put in the potion." Although Lu Yao's voice was majestic, it was no longer as cold as before.
Hearing this, Song Li did not make any unnecessary moves. He held the first potion that he had refined with his right hand, tapped the mouth of the bottle, and dripped three drops of the potion.
The golden brilliance, which had previously been too sluggish to climb up to the fourth level, seemed to have swallowed a powerful tonic and quickly climbed up the fog ladder, reaching the fifth level in an instant.
After reaching the fifth step, there was still no tendency to stop. It was 50%, 50% full, and it didn't stop until golden light appeared on the sixth step of the fog ladder.
The first potion refined by Song Li actually reached 60% of the potency, which made Song An, who did not step down from the judges' bench, clenched his fists.
The master introduced him to the practice of alchemy on his own. Although Song Li was the one who introduced him to the alchemy art, Song An, his current understanding of the alchemy art was all obtained by himself.
A slight smile appeared on Lu Yao's face, and he continued: "The medicine is 60% effective, let's take the second potion!"
Song Li smiled and proudly raised his head and glanced around the stage before dripping the medicine from the second jade bottle into the jade bowl.
He has painstakingly studied the art of alchemy for nearly thirty years, and even his practice has been greatly hindered by the art of alchemy. But just for today, he will trample all the alchemists of his generation under his feet.
The first potion was 60% full, and he was sure that the third potion would be at least 60% or even 70% full!
This is what makes him proud of everyone.
What he wanted to see was everyone's mouths wide open, shocked by his alchemy skills.
Sure enough, the second potion dropped into the jade bowl, and the speed of the golden brilliance rising became even more fierce. It easily exceeded 60%, reached 65%, and finally stopped at 60%.
Such a result made Song An, who was sitting firmly in the judges' seat, couldn't help but marvel. However, after being glared at by Cao Cheng, he sat back down.
After his inner vanity was greatly satisfied, Song Li dropped the third potion into the jade bowl.
Just when Song Li was looking forward to the golden glory, something unexpected happened.
Not only did the speed of the golden brilliance not increase, but it actually slowed down a lot, and it finally covered only half of the sixth floor.
Song Li stared at the fog ladder in astonishment, his mouth twitching and he kept muttering in despair: "Impossible, impossible."
Lu Yao saw all this in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of disappointment: "Song Li, 60% full, next."
Sometimes expectations are too high, which leads to greater disappointment.
Tian Pei could only make two potions, the best of which was only 65% effective, but he was praised by Lu Yao.
As for Song Li, since he had such a high starting point, but did not achieve the desired results, and even had such a bad mentality, he cannot blame his elders for being disappointed in him.
Song Li, who was extremely arrogant just a moment ago, walked down the stone platform listlessly like an eggplant beaten by frost. Even though he had achieved 60% of his grades, he still couldn't let go.
What was even more unfortunate was that the middle-aged man who was walking towards Song Li looked at Song Li with a playful expression.
Just as the two of them were passing by, a sneer reached Song Li's ears.
"This is what you call the demeanor of inheriting a noble family. Is this how you look down on us ordinary people? It's so ridiculous!"
Hearing the ridicule from the visitor, Song Li's eyes focused and looked at the opponent in front of him who had always been despised by him.
There were countless bright red bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and he sobbed with tears in his throat: "You are a piece of trash, and you still come to challenge me. Did you win that competition? Wait until the potion you refined is more than 60% effective before you talk to me."
"You're just at the level of refining two potions, you really have the nerve to mock me! How could you be so noisy?"
"Song Li, I, Feng Wuyue, have worked hard to this day regardless of anything, just to make you understand that we civilian alchemists cannot be humiliated. Just watch! I will definitely defeat you here."
Song Li completely ignored Feng Wuyue's provocation and walked towards his position with his eyelids drooped.
Before Song Li could stand still, Feng Wuyue had already dropped the medicinal liquid into the jade bowl, and the golden brilliance suddenly surged, and the speed of the increase was not weaker than Song Li's.
When Song Li came back to his senses and looked at the ladder on the jade bowl, half of the sixth step had been covered with golden light.
"Sixty and a half percent! Put in the second potion."
The first potion was 65%, which shocked many people, including Lu Yao and Song An.
Lu Yao had never heard Feng Wuyue's name at all, and Song An only rarely heard rumors in the Alchemist Guild that his nephew was not getting along with some alchemists who had no background.
Little did he know that there were such geniuses among these civilian alchemists.
These civilian alchemists have no background, so they have to rely on themselves to obtain all spiritual materials and herbs, and they have no guidance from famous teachers.
To put it bluntly, these alchemists would only be called Ye Luzi before they became famous. Only monks born as common people would come to them to refine potions.
Nothing else, just because they charge cheap!
Song An couldn't figure out how his nephew could have such a conflict with such a civilian alchemist.
After Lu Yao said that he had put in the second potion, Feng Wuyue took a deep breath, looked back at Song Li, and quietly tightened his fist with his left hand. The tension and excitement were clearly visible in Lu Yao's eyes. .
Dropping a few drops of the second potion into the jade bowl, the golden brilliance skyrocketed again, half a chip faster than before, and soon exceeded the previous 65%.
Finally, the golden brilliance filled the entire sixth step of the fog staircase, 60% full!
Although this result did not exceed Song Li's, it was already tied. As a civilian alchemist, having such a foundation is enough to win praise from many people.
"Song Li, 60% full, not bad, not bad. Next one, continue."
With joy on her face, Feng Wuyue saluted Lu Yao and then turned and walked towards her desk. Seeing the disbelief in Song Li's eyes, she clenched her already clenched fists again.
After Feng Wuyue, there are only about fifty remaining alchemists. Half of these people are old people close to the age limit of forty, and it is not their first time to participate in the alchemist competition.
These people's alchemy skills have already reached the fifth level, and they are all well-known in their own cities. Of course, they came to participate in this alchemist competition to make themselves more famous.
Only in this way will more monks ask them to refine potions, and they can gain more benefits from them.
Otherwise, in such a competition without any reward, why would these fifth-level alchemists, who are said to be "making money every day", bother to participate in such a competition.
Among the more than thirty people who followed, there were five "powerful" alchemists who refined three potions.
Among them, the one with the strongest potency directly reached 60%, which was no less effective than Song Li and Feng Wuyue.
The one with the strongest effect of the two has reached 65%, and Tian Pei needs to be stabilized.
As for the number of people who refined two potions, there were even ten people, but the potion with the highest potency was still half inferior to Tian Pei.
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun is about to dissipate, and there are only ten people left including Yiran who have not participated in the test.
As the competition came to an end, the atmosphere in the stadium not only did not become warm, but instead became increasingly deserted.
Just because these ten people are so young that they are ridiculously young, and the young man who was added to the list at the end for unknown reasons has three jade bottles on the table in front of him, while the others only have one jade bottle.
The spectators who did not know these alchemists were naturally less interested. They seemed to have already seen the results and no longer had any expectations.
Among the seventy-six people who have participated in the test, five have reached level six and seven have reached level six and a half.
In the eyes of many people, the elimination of two more alchemists from these alchemists whose efficacy reached 65% is the result of today's second round of testing.
Ranked seventy-seven was an alchemist who was also not too old, probably in his early thirties, and was only holding a jade bottle in his hand.
After Yiran finished grinding, he observed the field. This man who was not too far away from Yiran was one of the people Yiran focused on.
Because many people have already produced results when refining the first potion, but he has just started refining it, which means that he has also done a better job of grinding the spiritual grass.
Since the first step has been done better, the subsequent refining of the medicine will not be any worse.
What's more important is that this person only refined one potion. It's not that he can't refine the second potion, but that he has no idea of refining the second potion at all!
In other words, he has great confidence that he can enter the top ten with one potion!
Even Yi Ran, who had seen similar types of prescriptions, still didn't dare to be so confident.
The next scene shocked the whole audience. After the middle-aged man dripped the potion, the golden light climbed to the sixth floor of the fog ladder, and then to the seventh floor in an instant.
In the end, half of the seventh-floor fog ladder was filled!
"Huang Huang, the medicine is 75% effective!"
Lu Yao's words convinced everyone present that they were not dreaming.
75% effective!
This result even makes people wonder whether this guy knew the prescription in advance.
But no matter what, Huang Huang, a guy who is not famous, has become a dark horse and is temporarily ranked first.
There are only nine people left after Huang Huang, and the words "temporary list" seem to be taken away in less than a stick of incense.
The next eight people are all next to Yiran. They are exhausted and laugh at Yiran's pretentiousness.
They can use all their energy to refine a potion, and the final result can be understood without thinking too much.
The person with the lowest potency was only 30%, and the person with the highest potency was only 50%.
Although his performance is not good, he is more interested in seeing what kind of joke the young people who appear at the end will make.
In front of everyone's attention, Yiran picked up the three-nei jade bottle and walked towards Lu Yao.
It was not Yi Ran who became nervous at this moment, but Lu Yao, Song An, and Cao Cheng who was already restless!
