The full moon is high and the breeze is slightly cool. Even monks who are not exposed to the cold and heat can feel the refreshing breeze brought by the summer night.
Discussing wine and refining medicine, he boldly tells his experience, and before he knows it, he has been drinking for three rounds and the guests and host are enjoying themselves.
Some alchemists who had been eliminated took advantage of their drunkenness to point the finger at Yiran, who was still recovering from meditation.
"The guy who can make potions and blow up the medicine cauldron can actually be ranked first, and because of him, we all have a banquet here."
Where there is one, there are two. After the first person expresses his dissatisfaction, the second person immediately complains:
"That's the reason. This is the first time in my life that I have seen a pharmacist who can blow up a medicinal cauldron. Exploding the cauldron. Exploding the cauldron. Our failure in refining is called exploding the cauldron. He really blew up the cauldron." "
"Hey, I haven't been refining medicine for too long, only thirty-three years. This is really the only time I've seen in my life."
"Anyway, this is the first time I've seen someone refining potions like this, eliminating the need for grinding and quenching. We knew what he was doing, and we knew he was refining potions. Those who didn't understand thought he was making soup. .”
After hearing the discussion here, many people seemed to have aroused their addiction to talking and joined in. The most common topic was that Yiran had to know the prescription in advance so that he could get through it beforehand.
Song Li glanced at the pale Yiran with hatred, and was about to step forward to reprimand Yiran for his bad behavior. In such a serious occasion, not only did he make a joke like "the alchemist's cauldron exploded", but also caused several A contestant failed in refining the elixir.
It's just that he just took the first step and could no longer take the second step. His whole body was restricted by a powerful mental force and could not move in place.
At this time, Song An's harsh criticism also came to my ears:
"Don't get involved with them. If you are not good at refining medicine, you can continue to practice and wait until next year. If you only blame others for your failure and don't even give up on your character, then you will be too disappointed for Uncle Wei."
"And let me tell you, Yiran's legacy is incredible, and it's not something they can change by slandering him behind his back."
"The most important thing is that senior Cao Cheng values him very much, even more than Huang Huang on the side."
Listening to Song An's voice transmission, Song Li broke out in cold sweat and wet the clothes on his back. Even if Song An removed the mental power that restricted his movements, Song Li remained frozen and did not make any move.
Being respected by President Cao Cheng, this alone shows that there is nothing that can be questioned about Yiran's alchemy skills.
In this case, Yiran's alchemy skills definitely have a terrifying inheritance, which is far beyond what they can imagine.
Time is slowly passing by as a group of people make things worse, reducing Yiran to nothing, and raising "their own family" to a higher level than the sky.
An hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
Huang Huang still looked the same as before, with a face full of tangles and even a tendency to scratch his head.
Even when facing those spiritual level alchemists, Huang Huang had never felt so uneasy.
Finally, Yiran's body trembled slightly and started to wake up, and Cao Cheng also put away the flame cage.
In fact, only Yi Ran knew what happened after the medicine cauldron exploded.
Regarding this unexpected situation, Yiran was extremely embarrassed in her heart.
No matter if the quality of the medicinal cauldron was just a little bit stronger, or if it was just four pills condensed, or even if the mental power was just a little bit stronger, such a scene would not happen.
The moment cracks appeared in the medicine cauldron, Yi Ran was actually ready.
Directly remove the protection of the medicine cauldron, and concentrate all the mental energy on the pills in the cauldron. At the same time, the pill fire is converged and the temperature is lowered for final condensation.
It sounds very simple, but when it is done, there can be no mistakes at all.
Who can be at the center of the explosion, not only without defense, but also able to accurately transfer mental power to the pill.
Which magician is not afraid of such an explosion? Even Cao Cheng, who has strengthened his body, dare not say that he will not be injured if he is unprepared.
But Yiran dared to do this, because most of the mental power was concentrated on the pills, and the explosion caused was only as powerful as fifth-level magic.
Since it is only the fifth level of power, you only need to activate the true energy to protect the whole body, and there is no need to use the Tianxin Body.
At the moment after the explosion, Yiran directly condensed the pills.
Pills are not medicines. The process of condensation originally takes longer. The power of the medicine must be restrained with mental power until the power of the medicine is completely calmed down.
But Yiran, who overused his mental power, didn't want to expose too many of his trump cards.
In a hurry, he directly swallowed the next "Hongque Nahai Dan" and put another one into the space ring. Two of the remaining three would dissipate because they were not condensed.
In this way, apart from the fact that he was not injured, there is nothing strange about him.
But Yiran didn't expect that Cao Cheng would directly use his mental power to suppress the storm and disperse the dust because he was worried about him.
This causes the dust to disperse faster and the pills to remain there longer.
The only ones who actually saw the existence of the three pills were Cao Cheng and Huang Huang.
But it is precisely because the two people's vision in alchemy is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, that they understand how many "rules" Yiran has broken by his predecessors.
As the saying goes, concentrate on the medicine, which means that when refining medicine, you need to concentrate on controlling the integration of every trace of medicine, so one piece of spiritual material can make one piece of medicine.
No one has ever thought about the possibility of making several doses of medicine from one spiritual material, let alone the possibility of the pills being preserved intact even if the medicine cauldron exploded.
It's just that these questions have already happened today. No matter how much you don't believe it, you can't refute this established fact.
Yiran stood up, dusted himself off, and looked sideways at Huang Huang.
It seemed that he did not expect that Yiran would wake up so quickly. Huang Huang still held a sixth-level spiritual fruit in his hand and looked at Yiran with surprise.
Ignoring Huang Huang's surprise, he turned around and looked at the alchemists chatting behind him.
Under the detection of perception, many conversations without hidden meanings were overheard by Yiran. Those alchemists who had not yet discovered that Yiran had woken up still kept talking about their own misery, saying that they had used the back door and so on.
When Yi Ranfa woke up and found that his perception of the surrounding area was clearer, he realized that he was a blessing in disguise.
The mental power that has already reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage has broken through the bottleneck and has a tendency to move towards the Nascent Soul Stage.
Once his mental power has truly entered the Nascent Soul stage, there will be no difficulty in making a breakthrough in his cultivation. By then, his mental power will surpass that of a magician who has just entered the spiritual level, both in terms of purity and breadth.
When Yiran turned around and looked at the judges' table, she realized that Cao Cheng was also looking at her, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
Although it is not clear why Cao Cheng always has good intentions towards him, no matter what the reason is, it is worth Yiran's reciprocation.
Cao Cheng nodded slightly towards Yi Ran, then looked at the people at the banquet and said:
"Yi Ran has woken up, so let's continue with the last part of our alchemist competition. After the top three are judged, you can continue the banquet after the evaluation."
"You don't need to leave the venue. You can just enjoy the fine wines on the spot while waiting for the top three winners of this year's Alchemist Competition. Wouldn't it be wonderful to watch such a grand event up close?"
The words were met with thunderous applause, and all the alchemists at the banquet expressed their fervent gratitude for Cao Cheng's decision.
Those outside the venue began to become agitated, constantly calling friends, telling them that the review was about to begin, and hurry up to get a good viewing position.
The entire audience was in a state of panic for a moment.
Several old men who had been sitting at the judges' table all day followed Cao Cheng to the arena.
After standing still, Cao Cheng took a formation ball from Lu Yao and directly used magic power to activate the formation.
"Ka ka ka", a stone platform appeared on the ground in front of Cao Cheng. There was a stone table on the stone platform, and ten jade bowls were placed on the stone table.
Unlike the jade bowls used in the second round of testing, these ten jade bowls did not have mysterious runes engraved on them, and after a while, no fog ladder appeared on the jade bowls.
This is the most ordinary, ordinary jade bowl used to hold spiritual materials.
Cao Cheng stepped forward and came to the stone platform, looked at the ten people and said:
"For those who have successfully refined the potion, please pour the potion you have refined into the corresponding jade bowl. We will make a comprehensive review based on the difficulty of refining, the efficacy of the potion, and the rarity of the potion."
"If you have any questions or anything you want to say, you can ask them directly."
In the ninth seat is an alchemist named Wang Yongan from Yishui City. As one of the representatives of Yishui City, he participated in the Alchemist Competition for the first time.
After listening to the rules, he asked in confusion: "If the potion is difficult to refine, but it is not rare, how should it be evaluated?"
Obviously, what he wanted to ask about was the "Great Cultivation Body Transformation Spirit Liquid" that was refined by five people. This refining process is difficult, but it is a fifth-level potion that most alchemists can refine.
It is difficult to refine, and the demand for this potion in the cultivation world is huge, but it is precisely because of this that it appears to be common, and it is completely different from rare.
Facing Wang Yongan's question, Song An stepped forward and said:
"There is no need to worry about this. As one of the few special potions that are effective for both martial arts cultivators and magicians, the Great Xiu Shen Transformation Spirit Liquid is not very rare but is still considered precious. It is far from the Ningshen Pills and Blood Tempering Pills. Something comparable."
After answering Wang Yongan's question, no one asked any more questions.
A total of seven people completed the refining of the potion. Yiran and Huang Huang didn't care about the ranking at all, and naturally they didn't care about how the judges scored and ranked.
Although Feng Wuyue participated in the competition for the first time, as a local of Linjiang City, she came to watch the competition almost every year, so she naturally knew the rules well.
As for Tian Pei and the other two alchemists from other cities, this was not their first time participating in the competition.
Although this is their first time entering the top ten, they are relatively clear about the rules.
And as the three of them were eliminated because they failed to refine the potion, four of the potion pills placed in the jade bowl were "Great Body Cultivation Transformation Liquid"!
In this way, the final ranking is actually clearer and more convincing.
After pouring the potion into the jade bowl, everyone returned to their seats. Watching the powerful alchemists including Cao Cheng on the stone platform "looking, hearing and asking about" their works, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Even Yiran and Huang Huang are not immune to this.
They don't care about rankings, but they care about whether the results of their refining can impress these seniors.
