Chapter 279 Then I'll borrow the Vice President's good words
There is still plenty of time for this competition, but some fifth-grade Dan Zuns who were ready to give it a try are finding it increasingly difficult, and there are signs that their furnaces may explode at any time.
Cao Wenyu is obviously one of them.
As time passed, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead, his face gradually turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Cao Wenyu clenched her teeth and kept urging herself to calm down.
He exerted his mental strength to the utmost, condensed the medicinal liquid that he had extracted with great difficulty, and then controlled the strange fire to fuse the medicinal liquid...
This process seemed easy, but it actually consumed a lot of spiritual and mental energy. After half an hour, Cao Wenyu finally couldn't hold on any longer!
"puff......"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body shook twice. The pill that was about to take shape shattered and turned into a waste pill.
"Oh, it still doesn't work..."
He shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked off the stage with a dejected look.
Yan Jinan, who was in the critical period of alchemy, did not see this scene. He was focused and devoted himself to alchemy.
"This little fat guy's talent in alchemy is indeed good, but it is still far inferior to Xiao Nan."
Taigu's voice suddenly sounded in Bai Sinan's mind.
"It's rare to see you praising others." Bai Sinan chuckled: "Why don't you comment on others as well?"
Hearing this, Taigu became interested: "The tall and thin man who just refined the useless pill is actually not suitable for refining pills. It is the result of great efforts to reach this level. It will be very difficult for him to break through again."
"And that woman who looks very good at refining pills, her true rank must be very high. Her refining skills and control over her mental power are definitely not at the level of a fifth-rank Alchemy Master."
Tai Gu touched his chin and said, "As for the others... except for the two old men whose grades have reached the seventh grade or above, the rest pose no threat to you."
Bai Sinan sighed in his heart: "It seems that there is no way to get the first place just by relying on time and difficulty."
"That's right. If we continue to secretly adulterate it like we are doing now, it will be difficult to defeat them. But it's different for top-grade elixirs. Even a mid-level top-grade elixir with six stars is more valuable than a low-level top-grade elixir with seven stars."
"Besides, it's not certain whether these two old men can refine top-grade elixirs, so Xiaonan, you don't have to worry too much."
While the two were chatting, Bai Sinan had already finished refining the pill. The speed was not fast, but it was definitely not slow.
When the time came, the medicine boys immediately stepped forward to take away the refined pills and handed them over to the judges for scoring.
"This muscle-growing pill is of good quality. It should be the best of the best."
The white-haired old man nodded approvingly and looked at the alchemist below: "I wonder which friend Yuebai is the one who refined this pill?"
Bai Si Nan took a step forward and bowed politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior. I am Yue Bai."
Although he appeared to be unperturbed on the surface, Bai Sinan was actually very annoyed.
Isn't it just that she has less impurities than the last round? This can be considered the best of the best... And it's not enough to just praise it once, but she has to praise it by name...
Oh, I should have added more...
"Not bad, not bad. I remember that in the last game, you were very skilled in alchemy. You have such talent at such a young age. You will definitely achieve something in the future!"
"Senior is so complimentary."
"The fact that Elder He praised this junior so highly actually made Chang Qing a little curious."
Xu Changqing has curved eyebrows and eyes, which makes him look very easy to get along with.
He took the flesh-growing pill made by Bai Sinan and nodded with a look of surprise: "It is indeed the best of the best. Not only is there less impurities, but the color and medicinal properties are also excellent."
"If there were no top-grade elixirs in this world, I'm afraid it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this a top-grade elixir..."
Xu Changqing's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. Bai Sinan narrowed his eyes, his face calm, "Vice President, you are joking. I just had better luck. Wasn't the quality of the pills I refined in the last round just ordinary?"
"That being said, not everyone can be so lucky, right?" His smile widened a little, and the look he gave her became more subtle: "I hope you can have the same luck in the last round, and strive to win the championship of this Alchemy Competition..."
Bai Sinan also smiled, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect: "Then I'll borrow the Vice President's good words."
Outsiders were unaware of the undercurrent between the two. Zhang Shenying snorted coldly, his eyes filled with resentment: "It's just a lucky break. As long as I'm here, I'm destined to be the first!"
His voice was not loud, so no one noticed that a red bug the size of a fingernail crawled out from Zhang Shenying's sleeve...
After the judges finished evaluating all the pills, the referee began to announce the contestants who would enter the third round of the competition.
Yue Bai and Yan Jinan’s names were among them.
"The rules of the final round are very simple. Within two days, each alchemist can freely refine pills. Finally, the judging panel will comprehensively evaluate the value of the pills and select the first place winner of this alchemy competition."
Hearing this, Yan Jinan curled his lips in regret and whispered to Bai Sinan: "Brother Yuebai, both of us are sixth-grade alchemists, and we should be firmly at the bottom of the remaining ten people."
"No, don't worry."
He sighed: "Even if I'm not at the bottom, I can't get first place... Alas, but since there's an opportunity to refine pills for free, I still have to refine them."
Bai Sinan smiled and did not reply to him. He had already made up his mind to refine the Golden Jade Pill, which was generally recognized as the most difficult of the six-star advanced pills.
When she finished telling the medicine boy about the required pills, the audience was shocked.
"Is he crazy? That's the Golden Jade Pill! Even a seventh-grade alchemist wouldn't dare to refine it casually, and he, a sixth-grade alchemist, dares to refine it?!"
"Did he not take the Alchemist Guild exam? Otherwise, how could he have refined a six-star high-level elixir?"
"But the quality of his strange fire is not very good. It should be difficult to refine the Golden Jade Pill, right?"
"What if the quality of the alchemy furnace is high? The alchemists in the last round can use their own alchemy furnaces."
However, the person who said this immediately became disappointed again.
Because what Bai Sinan took out was a gray and very worn-out alchemy cauldron. It looked even worse than the one provided by the Alchemist Guild before.
“I’m not clean anymore… wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu… Xiaonan, you’re bullying me…”
Taigu cried loudly in Bai Sinan's mind, making her head hurt.
"The situation is special. This is my first time refining the Golden Jade Pill. It is not convenient to use other alchemy furnaces..."
"Then there's no need for you to make me so dirty... wuwuwu..."
Bai Sinan advised earnestly: "Look, you are an ancient artifact. What if someone recognizes you and steals you and sells you? Then it won't just be dusty. What if the paint is knocked off or you are used to make corpse pills..."
Although the Taigu Gilded Tripod is an ancient artifact, the spirit of the artifact, Taigu, is, after all, a child who knows nothing about the world. He was frightened by Bai Sinan's casual threats.
"I, I, I, I'd better be a little dirty..."
Bai Si Nan almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and quickly coughed and said, "Okay, my little partner, you can rest assured that I'm here. We must refine the top-grade Golden Jade Pill in one go!"
"Hehe, of course. With me here, I can make it in one go!"
This time, Bai Sinan let Huo Huo use the form and aura of the Yan clan's sacred fire itself.
The moment the Yan clan's sacred fire appeared, all the Yan clan members instantly felt an extremely strong pressure that made them tremble involuntarily, their hearts beating violently.
Especially Yan Jinan, who was closest to him, even had an urge to kneel down.
"How is this going?"
"That's not the strange fire that Yue Bai used before, right?"
"But there's nothing special about this strange fire, right? It looks like it's no different from ordinary fire."
"I don't know, does anyone know what's going on?"
In the crowd, Hua Lingyue's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, the moment Cao Wenyu looked over, they returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
