Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 115 Before Alchemy

"Alchemist Zhou, when will the elder start alchemy?"

"Is there any chance for us to assist this time?"

"Is there really no news at all?"

……

In the medicine hut, several alchemists gathered beside Zhou Lie and asked about the refining time of Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Great Pill.

The refining process of the top-level second-order elixir, even if they just took a look at it, it will be a great inspiration to them, and they don't want to miss it.

"I don't know, I haven't set a time yet."

Zhou Lieman said helplessly.

In the past two years, many alchemists have secretly poked and inquired about the exact time to open the furnace for alchemy, but he also didn't know it. The teacher was deducing it quietly, so he couldn't bother with trivial matters.

"Squeak..."

At this time, the closed alchemy room was opened.

A calm and gentle figure came out, he didn't have the slump of a long-term retreat, he was full of energy, and there was a light in his eyes, as if he could see the depths of people's hearts at once.

The alchemists who had been asking questions about alchemy before were silent at this time, and all of them lowered their eyebrows, saluted Chen Sheng, and went to work.

They are very concerned about the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Great Pill, so they don't want to interrupt more at this time.

If you are given the impression of being "impetuous", you will really want to cry without tears.

"teacher."

Zhou Lie leaned over happily, he and Chen Sheng were mentors and apprentices, and they didn't have as many taboos as others.

This is also the reason why many alchemists in the medicine house are envious of Zhou Lie. To be able to get along with such a senior expert without any scruples is really a worthwhile life.

"They're bothering you."

As soon as Chen Sheng thought about it, he knew the reason. The matter of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Great Pill did not involve him alone, but the entire medicine house.

It is normal for everyone to worry about it.

"They are also thinking about the medicine house and the teacher."

Although Zhou Lie is sometimes annoyed by these people, the relationship between them is still good, and they don't talk nonsense.

"You pass it on to me. An internal alchemy competition will be held in the future. The top five alchemists can watch the refining process of the Qianyuan Dragon Tiger Great Pill."

Chen Sheng's eyes were far away, and the events of refining the golden liquid alchemy were still in front of him, and he was full of emotions, so he had the idea of ​​letting the alchemist in the medicine house watch.

Originally, he wanted to be among the top three, but he thought that Qi Luo and Cheng Yushu would definitely occupy a place, and Zhou Lie might not be able to secure the remaining one.

After all, this is his apprentice, and he has some concerns in his mind, so he extended two places.

"Teacher, can you start refining the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill?"

Zhou Lie knew that Chen Sheng closed the door and saw no outsiders, and he was deducing the details of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill. After all, this second-tier top pill is not so easy to refine.

Hearing such a decision this time, based on his understanding of the teacher, he should be sure of it.

"No problem."

Chen Sheng nodded. He collected and refined two copies of the inheritance of a second-tier alchemist. Combined with his own perception, his alchemy skills have greatly improved, and he will not feel cramped when he refines the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill.

Afterwards, Zhou Lie spread the news, and all the alchemists in the medicine house knew that Chen Sheng would open a furnace to refine the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill, and would hold an internal alchemy competition to select the top five people and observe the top five. The refining process of the second-order elixir.

No alchemist would refuse this opportunity. Even if he knows that it is difficult to step into the second-level realm in this life, as long as he gets a little insight in it, it is enough to benefit him for a lifetime.

Didn't you see that Chen Changchang was also a Tier [-] alchemist back then, and after watching Elder Shen refining the Golden Liquid Pill, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, laying a solid foundation for the next Tier [-] path.

Two days later, the medicine house was almost closed, and many alchemists gathered in an open area.

The number of personnel has far exceeded that of Mr. Shen.

With the expansion of the group of alchemists, the competitiveness of the medicine house has increased sharply, and higher standards have become popular among the people.

They all have a few brushes on hand, and they are not easy-going people.

"I don't know if I can break out of the encirclement this time."

Qionglin is an alchemist in Yaolu, with a high reputation. He recently had an epiphany and felt that his alchemy skills have improved greatly, so he has high expectations for the competition.

He thought in his mind, Qi Luo and Cheng Yushu are the twin stars of Yaolu, stunning and peerless, Zhou Lie is an elder who has passed on his master, and there are two powerful figures, alchemy skills cannot be ignored, among the other alchemists, there is no guarantee that they will not appear Two or three blockbusters.

In short, this is a fight between dragons and tigers, and he has a chance, but he is not very sure at all.

"I don't know if I can be like the elder, but I can be close to him and follow him."

Qionglin looked at Chen Sheng, who was hosting the event, sitting there with warm eyes, without the majesty of a big man, but very kind, making people have a charm of getting close to the past.

Knowing about Chen Sheng's past, this feeling will become stronger.

That is a person with mediocre qualifications, who counterattacked and took the position of elder in the medicine house.

Today's high position and weight are all manifestations of ability.

Moreover, the medicine house has developed rapidly under the hands of this person, and has become a colossus in the outer sect.

These alchemists are very concerned about face, they don't talk about it, but in their hearts, they respect him very much.

"The rules of the game are that the winner will be determined in one game. Starting from the three aspects of the elixir's grade, quality, and refining difficulty, select the top five people and observe the refining of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill."

Chen Sheng could feel that there were many fiery gazes falling on him, which contained reverence, respect and other emotions.

He smiled, and didn't deliberately exaggerate everyone's emotions, but simply explained the rules of this competition.

"understand."

In the end, he looked at the crowd, and those who had any questions could raise them at this time.

"Clear!"

A clear voice echoed over the medicine house.

All the alchemists were high-spirited. This was a competition within the medicine house, and the participants were all alchemists. If they could stand out among them, they would show their face.

Moreover, they couldn't refuse to have close contact with a second-level alchemist and observe the refining of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Alchemy.

"Winning or losing is determined in one game, and the strong are like clouds. If I want to reach the top five, I can only be in danger."

There was a pressure in Qiong Lin's heart. With so many alchemists competing on the same stage, it was too difficult to stand out.

He thought about the hurdles. First of all, it is not enough to be safe. The competition is too great. Being conservative means not doing well, and you will be eliminated directly.

If you are too aggressive, you will not succeed, and you may lose your qualifications immediately.

Only by properly controlling the balance point between safety and aggressiveness can an excellent alchemist's ability be manifested.

In the end, he decided to refine a first-grade top-grade pill called Xiaoyu Pill.

This kind of elixir is of high grade, but it has not reached the level of difficulty.

However, in terms of technique, it is extremely strict, and it pays attention to a situation that is as careful as a hair, and if there is a slight mistake, it will collapse.

"Om..."

Some people are thinking, some people have already started.

The buzzing sound of the alchemy furnace being turned on was endless, each alchemist, controlling the pill fire, put various kinds of spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace to refine the desired pill.

"I started too."

Qionglin ignited the furnace, and the alchemy furnace stood firmly on the ground, but the fire inside was raging. The spirit grass that was thrown in was burned away, and the impurities were refined, leaving the most quintessential part.

Estimated that it took fifteen and a half minutes, the purification of the spirit grass was finally cleaned up.

Next, it is about the integration of pharmacology, which is the most difficult step in the alchemy process.

Xiaoyu Dan's pharmacological blend is even more frightening, silky, like weaving embroidery, which requires extremely deep effort.

"call……"

Qiong Lin took a long breath, thinking about the fusion of hundreds of spiritual herbs and medicinal properties, he felt dizzy for a while.

However, when it really started, his mind fell into a state of tranquility instead, the sounds from the outside world were automatically ignored, and he was immersed in his own world.

There is only one goal in his energy and will, which is to refine Xiaoyu Pill.

In the world inside the furnace, Xiaoyu Pill's medicinal properties are intertwined bit by bit, moving towards the most perfect level.

"boom"

In the second half of the game, the phenomenon of frying furnaces has already appeared.

However, some alchemists have challenged the high level of pills, beyond their own control, resulting in a collision of pharmacology, and finally lost control.

Affected by it, several alchemists blew up the furnace again, and there were a few bangs, which really shocked many alchemists' hearts.

Fortunately, this is just a small episode, and more alchemists will not be affected.

slowly.

"Om..."

There was an alchemist who refined the elixir. He was delighted at first, but later he became a little lamented. It turned out that the refined elixir was of a low level.

There are many such emotions, and many people regret being too conservative, resulting in mediocre and uncompetitive works.

There are also alchemists who failed in alchemy. They regretted too much, and they refined elixirs that surpassed their own abilities, so they didn't even have the chance to compete.

"I... am too powerful."

Qionglin didn't have the above-mentioned troubles of the alchemist, he perfectly grasped the balance, he can be regarded as an excellent alchemist.

When he withdrew from the peaceful state of mind, the Xiaoyu Pill had already been refined and settled in the world inside the furnace, silently but with a mysterious aura.

He took out the Xiaoyu pill, put it in his hand, and looked at it for a while, the more he looked at it, the more delighted he was, this pill was considered a peak in his alchemy career.

Using this as a competition work, if it really failed, then he has nothing to say.

Another half hour passed.

The vast majority of alchemists have already turned off their furnaces, and only a few people are left struggling.

"The time is up, the alchemists who haven't refined the elixir will all be judged as unqualified, and the rest will be lined up one by one, and I will judge them."

Chen Sheng looked at the time, directly judged that the alchemist who had timed out was eliminated, and got a few slight sighs.

In fact, these alchemists also knew that there was no chance, but they still wanted to fight for it tenaciously.

Now that he was swept down neatly, his heart sank, but he was not too disappointed.

Those alchemists who had refined the elixir with all their beards and tails formed a long queue one by one, without any noise.

"The first-order high-grade pill, perfect and flawless, with superb skills, can get ten points."

Chen Sheng scored several low scores in a row.

Seeing the elixir this time, I sighed in admiration in my heart, looked up and found that it was Qi Luo, and felt that there was no problem.

The "Xuanming Pill" refined by Qi Luo is perfect, there is no need to pay attention to it.

Over the years, Qi Luo's alchemy skills have not dropped at all.

"Elder, please comment."

It was Cheng Yushu's turn, and he took out the refined "Hai Chao Dan" respectfully, put it on the desk, and asked Chen Sheng to comment.

This is an alchemist who is as talented as Qi Luo, Chen Sheng knew it well, thinking of how this "obedience to discipline" has been for so many years, he felt a little happy.

"The first-order high-grade pill, perfect and flawless, with superb skills, can get ten points."

Chen Sheng spoke truthfully.

Cheng Yushu was very happy. Chen Sheng's fair and just attitude made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Not only did Chen Sheng have thorns in his heart about Xiao Daofeng, but he also had thorns in his heart. Every time he thought about it, he felt anxious for a while.

Fortunately, relying on obedience and courageous efforts, he restored the impression little by little.

"Elder, Huang Sangdan, the first-rank high-grade elixir."

Not only is one of the alchemists that Chen Sheng relies on, he and Qi Luo and others are respected as the five major figures in the medicine house.

He climbed up from the bottom, and he respected Chen Sheng very much. Without a way to climb up, even if he had great abilities, he would not be able to get ahead.

"Not bad, slightly flawed, superb skill, nine points."

Chen Sheng gave a fair evaluation, not only that there is no problem with the alchemy technique, but he could see that he was a little anxious, and when he finally cultivated it, it was a little bit too late.

"Elder, Xiaoyu Pill, the first-grade high-grade pill."

When he was in Qionglin, he suddenly lost the confidence he had before. There are too many talents in the medicine house, and if he wants to stand out, he must be extremely outstanding.

He doubted himself a little, and when this idea came up, his mood became more and more turbulent.

"Very good, with minor blemishes, with excellent workmanship, nine points."

After Chen Sheng finished watching the Xiaoyu Pill, he took a deep look at the young alchemist in front of him. It was extremely skillful to be able to control such complicated techniques.

"teacher."

Zhou Lie presented the refined elixir to the past, with a friendly face and a little joy, not as if he was waiting for an authoritative comment, but more like a disciple asking for advice from his teacher.

"A first-tier top-grade elixir is not meticulous enough when refining the spirit grass. There is no problem with the technique, but it can get nine points, and you have to work hard."

Chen Sheng pointed out the inadequacies of the elixir, with a hint of blame in his words, this problem can be avoided.

"The disciple is wrong."

Zhou Lie laughed.

When he was first refining the elixir, he had distracting thoughts in his mind, which caused a mistake in the extraction of a spiritual herb. After entering the state, there were no mistakes or omissions.

"If the pill is flawed, you can get seven points."

"There are too many distracting thoughts, and they are all reflected in the pills, which can get seven points."

"Alchemy skills are good, but fire control is a bit weak, so practice more."

……

Chen Sheng commented on the alchemists in the medicine house one by one, and pointed out some problems in their alchemy.

However, on the whole, it can be seen that the level of alchemists in Yaolu is very high, generally between seven and eight, and the cultivation of alchemy is very high.

After more than two hours in this way, it was considered a clean ending.

"The top five candidates have already come out. Those who read their names will meet tomorrow in the alchemy room of Longxing Palace at Sishi."

Chen Sheng set a high and low for everyone, and Qi Luo, Cheng Yushu, Zhou Lie, He Zhi, and Qiong Lin came out on top, and had the opportunity to observe the refining of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill.

No alchemist was unconvinced by this decision, they made it out of their eyes on the result, and the elixir made by the five people was really brilliant.
