Seeing Wu Sheng signing the contract, Yun Ji felt as if he had found a treasure and immediately handed it over to Dazai Bo Gui. Bo Gui is the "executive host" of this alliance. After the competition, even if Wu Sheng dies in Dan, he can still hand over the Zu Lian Zhou Furnace to Yun Ji on the spot, even if Yong Guo doesn't want to.
After getting down happily, he saw Wu Sheng sitting back at the table obediently. Yun Ji smiled at him and nodded. In his eyes, this "Master Shen Alchemy" who appeared out of nowhere was already a dead person.
Wu Sheng also smiled and nodded at him, looking like a fool.
Yun Ji's eyes refocused on the Zu Lian Zhou furnace. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Suddenly he felt a little uneasy - with the help of a high-grade elixir furnace, maybe this fool could really make a good elixir. Could it be that Yongguofang City Are those elixirs sold at high prices coming from this furnace?
Maybe I am not sure of winning...
Worried about gains and losses, Yun Ji turned his attention to Shen Douke, the Chu envoy.
Dazai Bogui raised his hand and said: "Alchemy competition, now..."
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Yun Ji wanted to get angry, but he suppressed the anger. It was Shen Douke who interrupted him.
"This year's tribute elixir is mainly based on Wu Shen Wan. In my opinion, it is better to just open a furnace and just use Wu Shen Wan. This will save some time."
As soon as this statement came out, Yuan Sima immediately defended: "The custom is to open three furnaces. Alchemists from all over the world have prepared for this. Now that it is suddenly changed, there may be something wrong."
Dazai Bogui came to his senses and stepped forward and said: "The so-called alchemists from various countries are actually no more than you and me. Alchemists Kui and Lu have already withdrawn, so the envoy's proposal is feasible. Otherwise, if the three furnaces are opened, it will be dark, and there will be no one left." How can time compare to magic weapons?"
Yuan Sima said: "The comparison of magical weapons is always on the second day, why not?"
Dazai Bogui said: "What can be done in one day, why delay it to two days?"
Shen Douke stepped forward and said, "Let me ask you kings. Mr. Yu, I wonder what your wishes are?"
Mr. Yu stroked his beard and said, "I am getting older and can't stay any longer. It would be better to end it as soon as possible."
I asked Kui Jun and Lu Jun again, how could they dare to refute the Chu envoy's intention? They both said "yes" at the moment. In this way, it would be useless no matter how much the prince Qingyu disagreed. Shen Douke didn't even ask him - he was just a prince, not a king of a mediocre country.
Everyone knows that what Yun Ji is best at is the black ginseng pill passed down from his master. In this way, the competition is about his strongest item, which eliminates surprises as much as possible and clears the way for him to win.
When the news came down, Yun Ji and Wu Sheng both bowed and responded: "Yes."
The competition finally began, and Wu Sheng began to compare the proportions of the spiritual materials in the box. There is no need to compare the Rhubarb Pill and the Jingning Pill, so things are much easier. Take out the seven kinds of spiritual materials needed and select the quantities according to the pill recipe.
Just as Yun Ji expected, the elixir Wu Sheng used was the most common Wu Shen Wan elixir, and it did not match the spiritual materials according to the Tai Chi ball chart.
Firstly, the highly imitated black ginseng pills were made in full public view, and the imitation happened to be the Yunji version. After the pill was made into a pill, it might cause controversy and the hidden dangers were huge. Secondly, he already knew the outcome of this competition.
The only change Wu Sheng made was to slightly adjust the weight ratio to try to match the numbers in the musical notation table. After the proportioning was completed, firewood was piled under the alchemy furnace. After the initial thick smoke dissipated, Wu Sheng tested the temperature of the furnace and felt that the fire was in place. He added the materials according to the time, and at the same time controlled the fire with his true energy, making it bigger and smaller. , sometimes fierce and sometimes soft, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes left and sometimes right...
Alchemist Mo You of the Kui Kingdom and Yue Zhongfu, the alchemist of the Lu Kingdom, sat behind Wu Sheng. The so-called serving alchemy did not mean that they actually went up to help refine the alchemy, and they were not allowed during the competition. Instead, they poured tea, shook fans, and served Wu Sheng to drink water. sweat.
The kings and ministers of various countries on the high platform held banquets, drank and talked, watched alchemy, or listened to the Chu envoy Shen Douke's stories about Chu and Yangzhou Yin's political policies, or talked to each other about the affairs of each other's countries. Interesting anecdotes, beauties, famous horses, and top-grade magical elixirs.
More than half an hour later, Wu Sheng stopped the fire and turned on the alchemy furnace. A bitter fragrance overflowed, and there were six elixirs with a black luster in the alchemy furnace.
Mo You and Yue Zhong, who were serving Dan, leaned over to check. After looking at each other, they both bowed to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng quickly supported him and said, "Why are you two like this?"
Mo You sighed: "Sir, saving others by yourself is indeed a noble act!"
Yue Zhong choked up and said: "Sir's story will be sung all over the world in the future. Zhong, I wish I could die with you..."
How well the elixir is made can be judged by others only after taking it, but for an alchemist, he can tell after just a few glances and a few sniffs.
The six black ginseng pills were made well or not, but they were mediocre. The only saving grace is that it is fast and plentiful, but in today's competition, what matters is the quality of the elixir, not the speed, nor the quantity. With this elixir presented, Wu Sheng is basically ready to die.
It can be seen that Wu Sheng has long been determined to die. Before he died, he still wanted to save the two of them. It was unclear whether this magnanimity could move the world, but the two of them were really deeply moved.
Mo You took out the short blade from his arms, held it with both hands, and walked forward on his knees: "This sword is called a fishhook. It was made by a great craftsman in our country. The hook is extremely poisonous and will kill you immediately. It is specially used for today's competition. You are brave. I dare you, sir, to appreciate it."
Yue Zhong was dissatisfied and took out a spiritual pill: "This is Ma Fei Dan, which was refined by Baiyue Alchemist Zhu Feng. After taking it, my whole body becomes paralyzed and I am not aware of the elixir fire. I beg you, sir, to accept it."
The two began to argue. One said that committing suicide was more in line with the style of the country's scholars and had the meaning of a generous and tragic song; the other said that the alchemist must have a destination and enter the alchemy fire.
Wu Sheng repelled the two pill attendants with a dark face, snatched the Fishhook Sword and Ma Bodan from their hands, sat still, and waited for the results from Yun Ji while visualizing. Both items are of low quality, but they are very unique. If Wu Sheng died for elixir, there would be no pain. It can be seen that things cannot be judged simply by their quality. The right way is to use them just right.
Wu Sheng meditated for half an hour and got a total of more than 300 grains of spiritual sand. He recorded the results of the visualization in his watch table and put the remaining residue in his sleeve pocket, which was shocking.
The six black ginseng pills he refined had already been presented to the high platform. After the monarch and important ministers tasted them, they found three monks to take them. As expected, the results were that they were of average quality. The remaining three are kept for comparison after Yunji Dan is completed.
The king of the Fish Kingdom smiled: "Should the elixir refined by mediocre people also be called mediocre elixir in the future?"
Seeing that Wu Sheng was still acting like a normal person, Young Master Qingyu wanted to get angry, but he still endured it and sighed softly. Wu Sheng was already ready to die and die, so what else could he say?
Sima Yuan bowed his hand to the young master Qingyu and said, "I would like to ask the young master to provide you with a pension."
Prince Qingyu asked: "Who else is in his Yongren Hall?"
Yuan Sima replied: "There is an elder, shopkeeper Dong of Yongrentang, who is nearly seventy years old."
Young Master Qingyu nodded: "I can give you hardware..."
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a "bang" from the audience. Young Master Qingyu and Yuan Sima were startled. They followed the sound and were stunned.
