Chapter 260 Everyone Shows Their Magical Powers
After twelve hours, the sand in the hourglass on the platform finally ran out, which also indicated the end of the second round of assessment.
At this moment, both the audience and the alchemists in the audience showed fatigue on their faces. After all, the body would not be able to bear it if they went on for such a long time without rest.
Fa Ma, Gu He and Qi Mier stood up and walked to the front of the stage again. Looking at the less than forty beams of light in the entire field, they felt a little emotional!
But there is no way around it. There are too many alchemists participating in the competition this time. If the assessment is based on previous ones, the amount of medicinal materials consumed will be enormous.
The first and second rounds of assessments were conducted using the most common elixirs, which was also a consideration.
"Congratulations on passing the assessment again! You have proved yourself. Regardless of whether you can pass the next round or not, your talent is unparalleled! Now please ask the remaining alchemists to come to the front to participate in the next round of assessment." Fa Ma shouted loudly on the stage.
Hearing this, the alchemists in the audience put away the medicine cauldrons and pills on the stone table and walked to the front.
When they reached the first row, all the alchemists were looking around. They were too far away before and were all busy making pills, so they had no time to pay attention to others.
Now that we are close, we naturally have to observe carefully. After all, the remaining alchemists are all very powerful and are strong competitors.
"Liu Ling, why don't you think Nie Feng came? If he had come to participate, he would have achieved good results. Now alchemists from other countries have suddenly appeared, and they are all very strong. Although our alchemy level has been greatly improved, we have to refine fourth-grade pills in the second round alone, and the next one will definitely be fifth-grade. It will be a problem even to pass, let alone win the championship." Yaoyue looked at Liu Ling and said.
"Doesn't Nie Feng have conflicts with your empire? I'm afraid he is afraid of you! I thought that after two years of hard work, I could get good results in the conference. Now it seems that I was too narrow-minded. I really don't know where so many terrifying alchemists came from." Liu Ling also felt powerless at this time.
In fact, this is not surprising. For example, if the top candidate in a township takes part in the provincial assessment, he will be devastated.
"It would be great if this Bu Jingyun was from the Jia Ma Empire. Although he is dressed a little strangely, his strength is extraordinary. He has recently caused a lot of trouble in the imperial capital! And it is really terrifying that he can achieve such results with just ordinary flames!" Yaoyue knew that she had no chance of winning the championship, so she looked at Xiao Yan and said.
"Him? He is indeed very powerful! And he possesses the Strange Fire. If he uses the Strange Fire, he will probably be the champion." Liu Ling said while looking at Xiao Yan.
Fa Ma on the high platform did not give the alchemists below too much rest time. After asking the maids to deliver the medicinal materials to each alchemist's bluestone platform, he shouted again: "This time we are going to refine a fifth-grade elixir. The third round begins now!"
The alchemists in the audience felt a headache when they heard Fa Ma's shout. Some of them were so tired that they could hardly open their eyes. They took out the recovery pills they had refined in the first round and stuffed them into their mouths to restore their fighting spirit and physical strength.
Refining a fifth-grade elixir is extremely difficult and time-consuming, taking a whole day and night. Even a sixth-grade alchemist has a high failure rate, and there is only one batch of medicinal materials, which means there is only one chance.
Although I really want to take a break and recover my spirit and physical strength, the hourglass on the platform has already started counting. If I don’t start quickly, I will still fail when the time is up.
The alchemists in the audience all took out the best medicine cauldrons from their collections from their rings, and the flames they summoned were not ordinary flames, but beast fire.
It's really like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers!
"Could it be that Fa Ma knows what kind of elixir I usually like to refine?" Xiao Yan picked up the elixir recipe and almost died of laughter. "Recovery elixir: It is specially used to heal some serious injuries. And because of its mild medicinal properties, it will not cause any damage to the already injured body. It can be said to be an excellent elixir for healing serious injuries!"
The pill that Xiao Yan had used to practice before was the Recovery Pill, because this pill had a very good healing effect. In addition, Xiao Yan used Yang Fire to refine it, so the effect was even more amazing. The healing medicine that was given to the Eight-Winged Black Snake King before was the Recovery Pill.
“I originally wanted to take out the Heart of the Earth! But now it seems that’s not necessary!” A smile appeared on Xiao Yan’s lips. A ball of yellow flame appeared on his palm. After sending the flame into the medicine cauldron, he began to refine the medicinal materials.
"Stupid! Why are you still using this low-level medicine cauldron? Even if your alchemy skills are superb, the cauldron will still explode!" Fa Ma on the high platform couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after seeing this scene.
The others also shook their heads when they saw this, because using such a low-level medicine cauldron to refine a fifth-grade elixir is tantamount to seeking death, and the furnace will definitely explode.
The alchemy continued, and every alchemist was busy refining the medicinal materials. Every step was taken carefully and after careful consideration. After all, there was only one chance.
There were more spectators on both sides at this time, and those failed alchemists did not choose to leave, but became spectators.
Although they could not win the championship, they could still gain a lot from watching others refine such advanced elixirs. They would never have such an opportunity under normal circumstances!
Time passed by unknowingly. The sun in the sky first set in the west and then rose in the east. The dazzling sunlight once again shone on the alchemists who were refining medicine.
Several alchemists accidentally blinked a few times because the sunlight was too glaring, which directly led to failure. A dull sound was heard, and these people could only walk down the square cursing and become spectators.
At this time, there were still a dozen people left in the field. All of them were concentrating on refining medicine, and the surrounding environment could not disturb them.
Xiao Yan also finished refining all the medicinal materials and began to melt the pills. Although the others were a little faster than Xiao Yan, they were not much faster.
More than a dozen medicinal materials were blended together, and even a small error would lead to failure. Xiao Yan heard muffled sounds from time to time again, but he didn't pay attention to it.
After fusing more than a dozen medicinal materials, a bumpy pill prototype appeared in the medicine cauldron.
At this moment, an energy ripple spread out from the cauldron of a certain alchemist and swept around. When a fifth-grade elixir was formed, it would produce actual energy ripples out of thin air because of the excessive energy it contained.
Xiao Yan hurriedly used his soul power to condense a shield to cover the medicine cauldron to prevent the pills from being destroyed. As for those alchemists who did not react in time, the medicine cauldrons were touched by the energy ripples, and the medicinal materials inside were instantly turned to ashes.
Seeing this, Fa Ma and Gu He on the high platform just shook their heads with some regret. After all, they could not blame others but only their own lack of experience.
