Chapter 338 Alchemy Competition!
Although the entire Linglong Pavilion was in a state of panic, the alchemy competition was still scheduled to be held as planned in two days.
This is a major event for the entire Linglong Pavilion, and everyone is very concerned about it.
Anyone who wants to participate in the competition can register now.
Unsurprisingly, the same ten people from each year participated in the competition.
What surprised everyone was that, besides these ten names, there was another name at the very bottom: Qianlilu!
A freshman actually dared to sign up for the alchemy competition!
Although there are no explicit rules, basically only ten people participate in each alchemy competition, and only the Medicine King Luo Xu can win the championship.
And now a freshman dares to break the rules, he really doesn't know his own limitations!
Inside the Linglong Pavilion, in Mu Daqing's residence, two people were having a secret conversation.
One was Mu Daqing, and the other was none other than Luo Xu, the Medicine King.
"What kind of person is this Thousand Miles Road, that he dares to sign up for the alchemy competition?" Luo Xu asked in a gloomy tone.
"I don't know either, but we need to be extra careful," Mu Daqing replied.
"Hmph, he's just a freshman, so young, how much cultivation can he possibly have? No need to worry." Luo Xu said with a competitive look.
Mu Daqing's expression was somewhat serious. He had already witnessed Leng Yun's prowess: "We must not underestimate him. Although this kid is young, he is extremely powerful. The purple fire the night before last was created by him."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xu was also somewhat surprised: "Who exactly is he?"
Mu Daqing said coldly, "I don't know, but I hope it doesn't affect our plans."
"Don't worry, I'm very confident." A sinister smile crept across Luo Xu's lips. "Where's the Grand Wizard's granddaughter? Still haven't we found her?"
"Hmph, that little brat Linghua, she's quick on her feet!" Mu Daqing said grimly.
After that, neither of them spoke again, quietly contemplating what was about to happen.
……
Two days later, the much-anticipated alchemy competition was held in the square of Linglong Pavilion.
The square was already packed with people, all excited because they were about to witness the Medicine King Luo Xu personally concocting medicine.
Originally, the entire arena was only big enough for ten people to participate, but this year there is an extra person, Leng Yun.
However, Leng Yun was not well-regarded by others; everyone thought he was just there to attract attention.
Because Leng Yun is too young, how could he possibly reach the level of Luo Xu, a fifth-grade alchemist?
Therefore, Leng Yun was placed in a small corner of the arena, so much so that most of the audience couldn't even see him.
Protector Mu Daqing sat on the platform, his face bearing a subtle, almost imperceptible chill.
Then, at a signal, the competition began.
The rules of the alchemy competition are as follows: there are three rounds of competition. The first round eliminates four people, the second round eliminates four people, and the last two people will compete for the championship in the third round.
However, since there is one more person this year, five people will be eliminated in the first round.
In fact, Leng Yun had already been put on the elimination list in everyone's mind, so in the end, it didn't have any impact.
The first round of the competition involved refining a grade three elixir. After receiving the formula, Leng Yun glanced at it quietly, finding it quite easy for him.
In an instant, flames ignited in all eleven alchemy furnaces, and everyone began refining pills, causing the temperature in the entire square to rise considerably.
Some of the spectators in front were already sweating, but this did not diminish their enthusiasm for the competition.
Leng Yun was in the corner, using the yellow element of fire, which was not conspicuous.
He looked back and saw that a blue flame was burning in Luo Xu's alchemy furnace.
It turns out that Luo Xu also possesses a strange fire, no wonder his alchemy skills are superior to ordinary people.
Almost everyone's attention was focused on Luo Xu, and cheers could be heard from time to time. Almost no one noticed Leng Yun.
Two hours later, the match ended.
A line of alchemists presented their pills to the two elders for inspection.
The first item was Luo Xu's pill, which was handed to the elder in front of him under everyone's watchful eyes.
The elder's surname is Qin. He is a highly experienced alchemist in Linglong Pavilion and Luo Xu's master.
"Perfect!" Elder Qin said after glancing at the pill.
Immediately, cheers erupted from all around.
However, the pills made by the next few alchemists were of varying quality, some good and some bad.
Although it was easy for Leng Yun to make third-grade pills, it was not an easy thing for an ordinary person to become a third-grade alchemist.
Four people have already failed completely and have been eliminated.
Everyone considered the fifth person to be eliminated as a newcomer on the road to success.
So the alchemist whose pills weren't perfectly round was secretly relieved, because at least five other people's pills were worse than his, allowing him to advance to the next round of the competition.
Next up was Leng Yun.
Leng Yun walked out from the corner, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Haha, I forgot there's still someone here."
"I doubt he can produce anything."
"I think it's already pretty good that I didn't blow myself up."
Ignoring the jeers of the crowd, Leng Yun walked straight to Elder Qin.
Elder Qin smiled and said, "It's alright, young man. Your courage is commendable. If you don't succeed this year, you can try again tomorrow. Don't be discouraged."
"Heh heh, I'm afraid you won't have that many chances," Mu Daqing said with a sinister laugh as he sat to the side.
Leng Yun ignored Mu Daqing and slowly extended her hand towards Elder Qin.
Under everyone's gaze, a perfectly round pill was clearly visible in Leng Yun's palm.
The laughter of the crowd immediately stopped, and they all stared wide-eyed at the pill in Leng Yun's hand.
This new student has actually refined a grade three elixir!
Even Elder Qin was somewhat surprised and took the pill to examine it carefully.
"Well, although its appearance is perfect, its function is not very strong. It barely passes and will advance to the second round!" Elder Qin announced.
These words surprised everyone even more, and the one who looked the worst was the alchemist whose elixir failed to take shape.
He didn't expect that a freshman would surpass him.
It turns out that although the third-grade pill is simple, it is a kind of poison in the Southern Border. Therefore, this was the first time Leng Yun's system had refined it, and it was not perfect.
However, the system has quickly adapted to the art of poison refining, and if it were to refine medicine, it could produce perfect elixirs.
"Hmph! What good luck! The pills are refined to such an extent that they can advance to the next round."
"That's right, but he'll be eliminated in the next round."
The crowd continued to mock Leng Yun.
Seeing Leng Yun's pills, Luo Xu, who was standing nearby, felt much more at ease.
"So this is the level you're at. I worried for nothing. I'll still be the champion this year, and no one can stop our plan!" Luo Xu thought to himself.
