After the final trial of the formation was over and the crowd dispersed, Zhao Jinxu slowly moved to Yin Xueze's side, pinched the corner of Yin Xueze's clothes with one hand, and lowered his head without saying a word.
"Don't be discouraged. Junior Brother Zhao, you are already outstanding. You made it to the final exam at a young age. No other competition event is like you."
The speaker was Shu Pinghui. She regretfully failed in the second round of the music theory competition. After all, she had never seriously studied music theory and could not compete with those real musicians. She didn't care. After quitting the competition, she and Jing Yingrong went everywhere to watch the competition.
Jing Yingrong also said: "Yes, very good."
Zhao Jinxu was still haggard, and his voice was muffled when he thanked Shu Pinghui and Jing Yingrong.
Yin Xueze looked at him silently, and after a brief hesitation, he raised his hand and patted his back gently.
Zhao Jinxu said aggrievedly: "Brother Xueze..."
Yin Xueze: "Want to go to Juanwo Villa?"
Zhao Jinxu changed his expression instantly and jumped up excitedly: "Go! Let's go now!"
Yin Xueze said "hmm", nodded to the mirror, turned around and left.
Zhao Jinxu put his arms around Yin Xueze's shoulders from behind, jumping up and down so lively that he showed no sign of depression.
"Everyone is watching the competition now. There must be very few people in Juanwhirlpool Villa! I want to ride that six-winged glass-blooded beast again. I wonder if it still remembers me. Oh, yes, I still want to eat you I made sweet and sour dragon spine fish. This time I went to catch fish. I set up ten water traps to see how they escape..."
Looking at the two people's backs as they gradually walked away, Shu Pinghui said: "Rong Rong, have you ever read the note book recommended by many people in the new batch of jade slips in the library?"
Jing Yingrong thought for a while and asked, "Brother Nian?"
"Not this one."
Shu Pinghui had a deep look on her face, "It's "Being a Father Is Not Easy"."
"..."
…
Before the final test of alchemy began, Shu Pinghui took Jing Yingrong to play lottery.
At the final test, the bet is no longer on multiple people who advance, but on who can win the first place. The more spiritual stones you bet on, the more rewards you will get if you bet correctly.
"Although I'm not interested in this, I don't want to give away the prize, right? The leader of the alchemy must be Shen Pei. You can't be wrong. Just bet on him."
As Shu Pinghui said this, he took out a large number of spiritual stones and put them on the table.
Jing Yingrong thought for a moment and put five top-quality spiritual stones on it.
"Bet Shen Pei."
In the final alchemy test, the alchemist is allowed to use his or her own alchemy furnace and fire, and the alchemy materials are also prepared by oneself. Each alchemist has only one chance, and the one with the highest level of alchemy is the leader. If the grades are the same, the evaluation will be based on appearance. If even the appearance is indistinguishable, it depends on the quantity of elixirs.
After the alchemist entered the scene, a variety of alchemy furnaces appeared in the field. Among them, the alchemy furnace released by Shen Pei that was covered with ice blue and white mist was very outstanding.
He touched his palm on the table beside him, and many rare materials were neatly arranged on it. One of them was a huge silver-white shark bead in the middle.
Jiyanzhu said: "Look at that pearl in the mirror, it's so big! There were no such big pearls in the store before. It's almost as good as the four you raised. Based on the model, it's already over size 10. Is it big or small?”
Jing Yingrong: "Well, pearls above size 10 are very rare, and there is no model to measure them."
She paused and said, "Just like Taoist weapons, there are no grades."
"Oh, that's it." Ji Yanzhu said suddenly.
After the elders checked the materials prepared by the alchemists, the final test officially began.
Unlike other alchemists who add ingredients to the furnace one by one in order, Shen Pei puts all the materials into the alchemy furnace together. His hands formed a seal, and eight streams of crystal clear water flowed out from the bottom of the alchemy furnace. The water flow circled around the furnace body with mysterious and unpredictable trajectories.
As time went by, alchemists successively refined the elixirs, and the air was filled with a pleasant aroma formed by the mixture of various elixirs. Many disciples with low cultivation levels accelerated their spiritual power just by smelling it. .
The water flow outside Shen Peidan's furnace has changed from eight strands to 4,096 strands, each one as thin as a hair. His lips were pursed tightly, and his black hair stood up without any wind, making his ice-like face look even colder. It was obvious that he had reached a critical moment.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The alchemist next to Shen Pei exploded.
With a loud "bang" sound, the three-legged alchemy cauldron exploded into countless fragments, splashing around with flames.
Almost at the same time, the elder moved like lightning, protecting the alchemist and erecting a barrier with spiritual power, preventing the alchemy cauldron fragments and alchemy fire from causing damage to the surroundings.
However, the impact and vibration caused by this were unavoidable. The movement of Shen Pei's hand that was changing the seals was delayed. In less than an instant, it had already led to the failure of Cheng Dan.
Smelling the burnt smell coming from the furnace, Shen Pei turned pale. He glared at the alchemist and said angrily: "You!"
The other party turned away guiltily and muttered: "I didn't mean it..."
This accident in the field was seen by everyone. Just like most people, Shu Pinghui's first reaction was "What a pity." Her second reaction was to blurt out: "I bet on the spirit stone! Ahhh Ahhh!”
At this time, a figure suddenly jumped into the field.
"Pei'er, it's okay, just make it again."
Yu Xian said to Shen Pei carelessly.
An elder behind him was furious: "Yu Xian! Who allows you to make your own decisions?!"
"Huh?" Yu Xian plucked his ears and turned around and said, "Am I wrong? In this situation, we should obviously give him another chance, right?"
She looked casual, but the elder felt his heart tightening for no apparent reason.
"You... you have to wait until the senior fellow apprentices come up with the results before we discuss it."
The elder's aura weakened a lot, and he glanced at several elders with higher status in another place. They were gathering in a group to discuss something, and there seemed to be some quarrels.
Yu Xian also looked over, and there seemed to be something alive protruding from the depths of his eyes with sharp claws.
Finally, a conclusion was reached, and one of the elders announced to everyone that since the failure of Shen Pei's elixir formation was caused by someone else's mistake, Shen Pei was specifically allowed to make it again.
The sharp claws in his eyes retracted, and Yu Xian grinned. When he turned around, he found that Shen Pei was not very happy. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you unhappy?"
Shen Pei sighed and said: "I didn't expect this to happen. I... didn't prepare the materials for the second furnace. There are other materials left, barely enough to make another furnace, but only one thing is missing."
"What kind?"
"I have only used that one of the top shark beads above number 10."
Yu Xian nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
Ignoring the elder's obstruction, she flew up into the air and said to the crowd of people below: "Whoever has top-quality shark beads, I am willing to buy them, and the price will be determined; or whoever knows where to find them, tell me, and I will be rewarded heavily. "
The powerful spiritual power spread Yu Xian's voice far away, allowing Yin Yang Fish and everyone on the surrounding land to hear it.
Amidst the commotion, a low volume but extremely clear voice came out:
"I have."
