600. Chapter 600: Alchemy Is Boring (1/2)
In Shengdan City, the matter of the contestants being attacked in the Wanyao Mountains has finally settled. For this reason, Danta is bleeding heavily this time. The families behind each victim of the contestants have to pay a lot of compensation. Calm down the anger.
Although the Soul Palace was responsible for the incident, Danta cannot escape responsibility. In order to maintain the reputation of Danta, he must admit it no matter how much blood is shed.
As for those contestants who were lucky enough to survive the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains, Danta also gave special treatment. Regardless of whether the task of the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains was completed or not, they could participate in the alchemy competition to compete for the championship.
However, although the surviving contestants can participate, whether they can win the championship is another matter.
Even though Old Man Mu Gu did not dare to return to the Dan Pagoda due to the incident in the Wanyao Mountains, fearing that Xuan Kongzi and the others would cause trouble, and voluntarily gave up the competition, there were still many strong dark horses in this competition that could not be ignored.
Cao Ying, the enchantress of the Cao family, Song Qing, the elder of the Dan Pagoda, Dan Chen, the genius of the Dan family, the long-famous Qinghua Venerable, and Xiao Yan, who had previously defeated Cao Ying in the soul competition.
"Miss Cao Ying, come on! We support you!"
"Elder Song Qing! I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
"Come on, little sister Danchen! You can definitely do it!"
"You must win the championship, Venerable Qinghua! I have put all my money on you!"
Such cheers of support rang out one after another in the stands, and some people even started betting on who would win the final championship at the game site.
There were those who bet on Cao Ying, some who bet on Song Qing, and some who bet on Dan Chen. The most people bet on Venerable Qinghua, the long-famous alchemist, but there were no viewers who bet on Xiao Yan.
This is not surprising. The first four have left a lot of reputation in Danta over the years. Although Xiao Yan has shined in the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains this time, it was also in terms of combat. Fighting and refining medicine are not the same thing. thing.
Although a small number of people knew that Xiao Yan was a disciple of Master Yao, they didn't have much hope for Xiao Yan. In their hearts, they felt that Xiao Yan was already so strong, and even if he was good at refining medicine, he would definitely not be able to compare with Cao Ying. Human, otherwise, wouldn’t we be allowed to live?
Feng Qing'er sat guarding the coffin and sat in the stands looking at the gambling game in front of her that had already accumulated a lot of money. Not to mention Cao Ying and the four of them had invested hundreds of thousands or even millions in gambling. Even the other contestants were more or less. The young man put down some money, but there was nothing above Xiao Yan's name.
This made Feng Qing'er frown displeased, and she suddenly appeared in front of the gambling bureau. She took out a gold coin card from the ring and threw it directly at Xiao Yan's name, her voice was extremely cold.
"Bet Xiao Yan to win, 30 million."
Damn it? ! Where did this sister come from? !
Feng Qing'er's bet attracted everyone's attention, and their faces showed shock. You must know that the other people's gambling capital may not be 30 million in total, but Feng Qing'er is worth all of them. !
Even Feng Qing'er's bet made other people who had placed large bets on Cao Ying and others begin to feel hesitant, and they placed 30 million bets without any reason. Most people would not do this. Could it be that Xiao Is Yan really a hidden genius in refining medicine?
No no no no no! If Xiao Yan was really that powerful, how could he remain unknown?
But after all, he is the disciple of Master Yao, so he shouldn't be much different, right?
wrong! Venerable Qinghua was a master of alchemy at the same time as Venerable Yao. Even if Xiao Yan was a disciple of Venerable Yao, there was no reason to defeat him!
Such troublesome thoughts repeatedly pulled in their hearts. They stretched out their hands several times to change the bet object, but then retracted it several times. It can be seen that they were struggling in their hearts.
In the end, they gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tightly.
to not fix! Can't change!
In this game, Xiao Yan is definitely no match for the others! absolute!
These people convinced themselves over and over again, their expressions filled with forced determination. Feng Qing'er glanced at them lightly, turned around and returned to her seat.
Betting on dogs will lead to a bad death.
You said she also gambled?
Please, 30 million is just a drop in the bucket for Feng Qing'er. Even though she has withdrawn from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, her status as the chief disciple of Fenglei Pavilion is still there. It's just 30 million, and it doesn't count at all. What, I won’t feel a pity if I lose it.
Feng Qing'er believed in Xiao Yan, but she didn't firmly believe that Xiao Yan would definitely win. If it was a battle, it was okay, but it was not certain in refining medicine. After all, the other people were not vegetarians.
The reason why Feng Qing'er placed such a big bet was just because she was unhappy that no one was betting on Xiao Yan. It was to give Xiao Yan some ground and stop these people from looking down on him so much.
As for whether the 30 million will be lost, it doesn't matter to Feng Qing'er at all. In fact, it is indeed the case.
At Feng Qing'er's level, gold coins are really just a number, and those precious pills, techniques, and fighting skills are the real valuable things.
If the little medical fairy knew about this scene, he would have to curse the evil rich man in his heart again.
While there was a commotion in the stands due to the sky-high bet placed by Feng Qing'er, one hundred and fifteen contestants of this alchemy meeting, including Xiao Yan, entered the venue.
This is also the first time in recent years that Danta has had so many contestants participate in the medicine refining session. In previous years, most of them were eliminated in the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains. For this reason, Danta has also specially renovated the venue to accommodate all these contestants.
However, despite such a big project, almost everyone knew that the rest of the contestants were just going through the motions, and the ones at the top were the ones who really attracted the attention.
Many contestants know this, so they feel very unwilling to do so.
However, there are also many contestants who are very self-aware and not so complicated in their hearts. They think it would be good to come and see the world, including Ye Xinlan, who has a very clear understanding of her own abilities.
"Leader Xiao Yan, I will cheer for you after I step down!"
Ye Xinlan looked at Xiao Yan with gleaming eyes, as if she was sure that she would lose, and judging from her tone, she didn't feel sad at all about losing, which made Xiao Yan's mouth twitch slightly.
"There's no need to say it so early. You may not be stepping down yet."
"No, no, no, leader Xiao Yan, I know my abilities best." Ye Xinlan raised a hand seriously, "With my current level of alchemy skills, I can only practice six For elixirs, it’s good to be at the intermediate level. These contestants on the field are all at the lower level of seventh-level elixirs. How can I compete with them?”
Ye Xinlan spread her hands lightly, looking very free and easy.
"Anyway, the fact that the Ye family can participate in the alchemy meeting this time has fulfilled my father's wish. Whether or not we win is a trivial matter~"
"ha"
Xiao Yan had a little cold sweat on his ears. He found that Ye Xinlan's mentality was really good, which was considered a skill.
At this time, Cao Ying came to Xiao Yan and looked at him, with a charming smile on her lips.
"Xiao Yan, please give me your advice in this competition. I am indeed far inferior to you in combat, but the same cannot be said for refining medicine."
"Both each other." Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "I will definitely do my best in this competition."
The little medical fairy saw Cao Ying's eyes through Xiao Yan's sight, and felt angry in her heart. Although Cao Ying hid it well, the little medical fairy could still clearly see the emotion in her eyes.
But unfortunately, even if she knew it, she couldn't do anything at this time, she could only gnash her teeth and secretly resent her.
"Quiet!" Although it was gentle, a voice that everyone clearly heard rang out in the venue, causing the noise in the venue and the stands to stop, and they all looked at Xuan Kongzi on the high platform. Xuanyi and Tianleizi stood on both sides.
Beside Xuan Yi, Yao Shen's figure also stood there quietly.
"Master Yao!"
"I saw Master Yao again!"
"Sure enough, Master Yao is the special guest of this alchemy meeting?!"
Seeing Yao Shen's figure, the venue that had just calmed down became excited again. Everyone's attention was directed to Yao Shen, and there was an endless stream of praise and admiration.
Seeing Yao Shen being so popular, Xiao Yan couldn't help but tremble his brows.
Although I knew it that day, Yao-senpai is really popular.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yan's expression was a little strange.
If these people knew Senior Yao's true nature, would they still worship her as they do now?
"Ahem! Be quiet!"
Hearing the shouts coming one after another below, Xuan Kongzi glanced at Yao Shen helplessly, and then coughed heavily.
This female gangster is still as popular as ever. There's really nothing we can do about it, this guy's appearance is too deceptive.
After the audience became quiet again, Xuan Kongzi glanced at the contestants in the venue, and his voice was very clear.
"Today is the final stage of the Dan Festival. The person who wins this stage will be the champion of this Dan Conference!" Xuan Kongzi waved his hand, and several pumice stones appeared and floated in the air. "The rules are very simple. All People use the medicinal materials they bring to start refining the medicine at the location assigned to you. There is no time limit, and the final result will be determined by the quality of the elixir! "
After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, the contestants went to the pumice stones that had been allocated in advance and took out precious medicinal cauldrons one after another. They all had serious faces and were ready to start at any time.
As soon as Xiao Yan took out the Xuanyunding Cauldron, he felt that many eyes were on him. Xiao Yan glanced at them, and they were all the contestants who were saved by him that day. At this time, all of their eyes were full of excitement. The fighting spirit made Xiao Yan have doubts in his eyes.
It's strange. It's true that I have a competitive spirit during the competition, but why are they all targeting me?
"Because your boy's strength is so incredible." Lord Qinghua on the side seemed to have guessed Xiao Yan's doubts, and Youyou explained: "I guess what they are thinking is that although they are not as strong as you, but in terms of You are definitely no match for them when it comes to refining medicine.”
"This Dan meeting is their last chance to protect their face."
After hearing what Venerable Qinghua said, Xiao Yan suddenly realized and scratched his face in embarrassment.
Why do you feel like you have suddenly become a public enemy?
Of course, this is what Xiao Yan is joking about. In the past few days, these contestants have specially come to Xiao Yan to express their gratitude for his life-saving grace. Many of them even prepared generous gifts, but Xiao Yan confiscated them.
In other words, these people are not ungrateful people. They are really grateful to Xiao Yan for risking his life to save them in the Wanyao Mountains.
However, one code equals another code.
Alchemy is their pride, it is a project they have decided to strive for, and they will never give in.
Just like that, in the tense atmosphere of the entire venue, Xuan Kongzi raised his hands high and looked at the blazing sun in the sky that was obscured by clouds.
The moment the blazing sun poked its head out from the clouds, Xuan Kongzi waved his hand fiercely.
"Alchemy begins!"
A week later, Feng Qing'er sat in the somewhat cold stands, looking at the venue with tired eyes.
What is the most boring thing in the world?
If someone had asked Feng Qing'er this question before, Feng Qing'er might not have been able to answer it.
But if she were asked again now, Feng Qing'er would answer without hesitation.
Watching others make medicine is the most boring time.
If she were an alchemist, she might be able to learn something from others' alchemy, but as someone who knows nothing about alchemy, Feng Qing'er really feels that waiting is too torturous.
This week, many alchemists have gradually refined their own pills. The first one to complete was Ye Xinlan, after all, she only refined a sixth-grade intermediate pill, which was undoubtedly the bottom.
Ye Xinlan was not surprised by this, and happily stepped down from the stage without even waiting for the final judgment.
The other contestants were either seventh-grade upper, seventh-grade middle, or seventh-grade lower. Anyway, none of them exceeded the seventh-grade pill category.
There was also a case where the medicine cauldron exploded due to excessive excitement during the process of making the pill, which not only destroyed the pill but also seriously injured the person.
What's worse, the pill had already been refined, and it was a seventh-grade upper-level one, but because of the inability to resist the pill thunder that fell from the sky, all the previous efforts were wasted.
As time passed, only Cao Ying, Song Qing, Dan Chen, Qing Hua and Xiao Yan were left on the scene, which was within everyone's expectations.
At this moment, Song Qing opened his eyes first, and suddenly shouted, and a round pill with an alluring pill fragrance jumped out of the medicine cauldron.
Eighth-grade pill, Su Xin Dan!
This scene finally made my drowsy audience wake up, and they looked at Song Qing with vigor.
This is the first eighth-grade pill so far!
However, before everyone was excited for long, their faces changed.
Do they still remember how powerful the pill thunder of the seventh-grade pill was before? Even the pill thunder of the seventh-grade pill was like that, how terrifying would the pill thunder of the eighth-grade pill be?
It is true that Song Qing has refined the eighth-grade elixir, but if he cannot withstand the elixir thunder, then it is all in vain!
The three Xuan Kongzi on the stage watched this scene, and they were all speechless.
Whether Song Qing's elixir refining will succeed or fail depends on this moment.
Just as everyone was thinking this, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and thunderous sounds exploded from the air one after another.
Then, with a flash of white light, a thunderbolt suddenly struck Song Qing in the venue! (End of this chapter)
