The moon stars were sparse and the birds were silent. The audience, which had been chaotic just a moment ago, all fell silent after a few respected old people left the stage. Even though they were still vying for a better viewing position, there was no sound again.
The several old men on the stone platform are all high-ranking alchemists in Linjiang City, and they all have spiritual level alchemy skills.
In ordinary fifth-level potions, any shortcomings and defects will be hidden. They only need to "take a look" at the appearance of the potion and "smell" the aroma of the potion to know that the quality of the potion is almost indistinguishable. judgment.
Even for those rare and rare potions, if there is no concealment method to conceal the power of the potion, the amount of spiritual materials used in the potion will be clear with just a quick glance and analysis.
Therefore, it can be said that with them as judges, there will be no problem in judging the quality of the medicine. However, there may be different judgments based on the preciousness of the medicine.
But whenever there are such doubts, the competition information will be passed to Cao Chengcai and he will come forward to make the final decision.
The reason why so many people have never seen Cao Cheng is because there has not been a situation requiring his presence in the past twenty years.
Like today, it is definitely a thought-provoking thing for this master-level figure who is busy studying alchemy every day to wait here in vain all day.
Even though Cao Cheng was standing here today, other than announcing the rules, he did not participate in any comments. He only allowed several other people to carefully examine the seven potions on the table.
In just half the time to burn incense, everyone read the seven potions one after another, and then stood around, pointing at the jade bowl while discussing.
While everyone was waiting long and anxiously, another half-stick of incense time passed.
Song An and the old men finally came to a conclusion, and then walked towards Cao Cheng.
After arriving at Cao Cheng's side, Song An whispered next to Cao Cheng: "Feng Wuyue in the fourth seat, Ma Xiaojiao in the fifth seat, Wang Yongan in the ninth seat, and Tian Pei in the tenth seat are all refining the Great Body Transformation Spiritual Liquid .”
"There's nothing good to say about their potions. We just need to judge their effectiveness."
"Among them, Feng Wuyue has the strongest efficacy of 80%, followed by Wang Yongan with 70%, followed by Tian Pei with slightly more than 75%, and finally Ma Xiaojiao with 75%."
"After that is Huang Yao, who is ranked eighth. She is also a well-known alchemist in this city. As one of the few female alchemists, her talent is also good."
"She is refining the Zijin Bloody Pill, which is 80% effective, but in terms of rarity, it is still inferior to the Great Cultivation Body Transformation Spirit Liquid."
"As for the pills refined by Yi Ran and Huang Huang, they are all bound by spiritual power. We cannot know its specific medicinal power. But based on this alone, the potion should be ranked among the top two in preciousness."
"As for the efficacy of the medicine, based on its color and smell, it should be 90% effective."
After hearing this, Cao Cheng stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I know, just by looking at the performance of these two people today, I know that they are not simple, and they definitely have unimaginable backgrounds behind them."
"Haha, the fifth-level pills have such mental power confinement on them. Is this a prescription that the forces behind them figured out on their own?"
"It is indeed a family that can train such amazingly talented young people, but I don't know where they come from and which family or sect they belong to."
"We in Linjiang City are located in a corner. We appear to be powerful, but compared with those huge family sects, we are really different."
Hearing Cao Cheng's low sigh, Song An lowered his head and said no more.
He still has some status in the Alchemist Guild, but the only people in the Alchemist Guild who can speak in Linjiang City are Cao Cheng and a vice president.
Cao Cheng is because his alchemy skills have already reached the peak of the spiritual level, and he may become a king-level alchemist at any time.
As for the other vice-president, his alchemy skills have only just reached the spiritual level, but his cultivation is actually at the king level.
As for Song An, it's okay to listen to Cao Cheng's emotion, but it's really difficult for him to comment on Lin Jiangcheng.
It's just that Cao Cheng, who has an undisciplined temperament, is obviously unwilling to let Song An go. He squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "Song An, can you please guess where these two little guys are from and what should we do?" Get along with them?”
The first half of Cao Cheng's sentence was just chatting, but the second half made it really difficult for Song An to speak.
But Song An also knew that Cao Cheng was not the kind of person who cared about authority.
Therefore, these questions are most likely because Cao Cheng really wants to know how to make friends with these two young people.
"Senior Cao Cheng, you are making things difficult for me. Our Southern Continent alone is famous for its medicine refining skills. There are six major sects in the entire empire, big and small, and there are twelve cities like ours."
"Not to mention there are countless well-known forces in the continent and individual cultivators with excellent alchemy skills. Besides, I suspect that they are not from the Southern Continent."
Cao Cheng's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly.
Song An continued: "As for how to make good friends, it depends on the wishes of both parties. It does not mean that they will accept it if we, Lin Jiangcheng, show goodwill."
"The two young juniors are just passers-by in Lin Jiangcheng. It is not necessarily a good thing to be friends with them, and it is not necessarily a bad thing not to value them."
"For the entire Linjiang City, even a spiritual alchemist is still too small, let alone a young person who may become a spiritual alchemist in the future."
"Senior Cao Cheng, you can decide on your own how to treat these two young men."
After listening to Song An's words, the smile on Cao Cheng's face did not change at all, but he was deeply worried in his heart.
He, Cao Cheng, never cared about authority and status. Even though he had a pivotal position in Linjiang City, he never managed anything that happened in Linjiang City.
Even in many affairs of the Alchemist Guild, the vice president is involved.
But even so, when Song An opened his mouth, he thought from Lin Jiangcheng's perspective whether it was worth making friends with the two young men.
Indeed, to talk about a person in front of a city that has stood for thousands of years is undoubtedly to compare an ant with an elephant.
But no matter how impregnable the city wall is, it is still built brick by brick.
If you don't accumulate small steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small feelings, you won't be able to live a life.
If every genius can be turned a blind eye, then what is the meaning of this alchemist competition?
Give these juniors a chance to become famous?
Or to consolidate the status of Linjiang City's twelve cities?
Although there is nothing wrong with what Song An said, and it is even very reasonable, in Cao Cheng's view, an alchemist should be pure and concentrate on the art of alchemy.
Without answering Song An, Cao Cheng looked at the starlight in the sky and the moon dotted by stars.
In Linjiang City, Cao Cheng was like the moon among the stars, but in the entire empire, even just in Nanzhou, he was just a star.
Since they are all stars, they should reflect each other and light up the sea of stars, instead of caring about where they are, they should light up the area.
The reason why the alchemist makes friends with the alchemist is just to learn from each other and confirm what they have learned. It is not, as Song An said, that they need to consider whether it is worth it for Lin Jiangcheng.
Cao Cheng lowered his head and looked at Yi Ran and Huang Huang not far away, as if he saw two rising stars that would eventually become the bright moon.
Looking away, Cao Cheng looked at the seven potions on the stone table. Except for the two potions from Yi Ran and Huang Huang, he did not take a closer look.
Just as Yi Ran once thought, it is possible to become an alchemist only with fire magic.
If you want to become a powerful alchemist, you must also be a fire magician.
Controlling the flames to directly temper the spiritual materials, this first step alone gave Huang Huang an advantage that was difficult to increase and was so great that others could hardly imagine it.
The reason why Yiran's medicinal cauldron exploded was definitely not the result of the collision of medicinal power, but the burning flame under the cauldron that made him feel hot.
Most alchemists don't know and don't dare to directly use flames to temper spiritual materials.
Because the inheritance of alchemists has always used grinding, because when the cultivation level is not high, it is impossible to accurately control fire magic, and it is simply impossible to use fire magic to temper spiritual materials.
Cao Cheng only discovered this after he became a spiritual alchemist. The reason why he is able to achieve today's achievements is largely due to the fact that he is a fire magician with a special spiritual palace.
The essence of spiritual materials tempered by flames is far from comparable to the powder obtained by grinding, so there is no suspense about the first and second places.
It's not that the two pills are precious because they have mental restrictions on them, but they are precious because they have mental restrictions.
After listening to the comments of Song An and others to the ten people participating in the competition and the hundreds of people inside and outside the field, Cao Cheng was left in great suspense.
Who is number one?
Is it Yi Ran, who looks ordinary in plain clothes and explodes the medicine cauldron, or Huang Huang, who is not only talented and handsome, but also a handsome man?
Although everyone was looking forward to the final result, they had some expectations but not much expectations for these two dark horses that appeared out of nowhere.
For example, Feng Wuyue's master, and many civilian alchemists who were familiar with Feng Wuyue, the happiest thing was that Song Li couldn't even refine the medicine, but Feng Wuyue was able to enter the top three.
The monks in Yishui City who stayed to watch the Alchemist Competition after the Youth Competition were not satisfied with Wang Yongan's performance, but what was more comforting was that the top two were also not from Linjiang City.
Huang Yao, Tian Pei, and Ma Xiaojiao also have relatives and friends who come to watch the competition and encourage them. They are also very happy that they can enter the top ten.
Amid the carnival and shouting of countless people, Cao Cheng announced again:
"The leader of our alchemist competition is Yi Ran!"
"At the same time, I would like to extend your warm applause to Huang Huang who came in second place."
"Bah bang bang." Before Cao Cheng could finish his words, the applause outside the stadium became even more enthusiastic. Countless people cheered and jumped for joy, which brought the curtain down on this competition.
However, the atmosphere in the entire venue was extremely quiet. Only Huang Huang looked at Yiran with a sincere smile and clapped his hands.
Everyone else, whether it was Song An and others behind Cao Cheng, the other contestants at the banquet, and the seniors of the Alchemist Guild, were all in shock and confusion.
They were extremely confused. At least the bottom five people had an analysis of how their rankings came about, but the most important top two did not give any explanation.
Just like before, I don't know whether the god of luck favored this guy named Yiran, or whether Cao Cheng, who they regarded as a "god" in their hearts, deliberately favored this guy.
A champion of the alchemist competition who was less than thirty years old, a champion who exploded the medicine cauldron!
But even though they were dissatisfied, they were inexplicably looking forward to Cao Cheng giving them a satisfactory explanation.
But all Cao Cheng left to them was a blood-red figure that quickly left with its wings flapping.
Yi Ran and Huang Huang looked at each other and smiled, neither having any objection to the result.
