Chapter 141 Feng Xing Dan
Xiao Chen lightly placed the scroll in his hand on the bluestone platform, glanced around, and watched their performance quietly.
At this time, Xiao Yan, Yao Yue, and Liu Ling had already started refining the "Wind-Running Pill". When they were halfway through the process, the furnace suddenly exploded with a muffled sound, and black ashes spilled from the bottom of the cauldron.
In the VIP seats, Ya Fei looked at the alchemists who were almost all looking at each other like idiots in shock, and said softly, and then glanced at Xiao Chen who had not yet started to refine: "Something seems to be wrong?"
"This test question... seems to contain some mystery." Yao Ye, who was sitting next to him, said with his slender right leg resting on his left leg, staring at the square where the atmosphere was a little weird.
"Although I am not an alchemist, I know that refining according to the prescription will undoubtedly greatly increase the success rate. But these people below, including Liu Ling and the little princess... they all seem to have failed..." Nalan Yanran said with a frown.
"Then why doesn't Xiao Chen refine it yet?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun glanced at the motionless Xiao Chen and asked softly, trying to keep her tone calm.
"Teacher, do you know Xiao Chen?"
When Nalan Yanran heard her teacher asking about Xiao Chen, she turned around and looked at Yun Yun behind her and asked.
"Yes, I saw it in the Warcraft Mountains last time when I went there to get the Purple Spirit Crystal for you."
Seeing Nalan Yanran turning around and looking at her, Yun Yun's heart panicked, her beautiful eyes were a little evasive, and a blush quickly passed across her exquisite and beautiful cheeks as she explained.
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, not doubting the relationship between her teacher and Xiao Chen.
"Alas, you can't trust what the old man says, he is very bad"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he glanced at Fa Ma on the high platform with his star-like eyes.
The next moment, Xiao Chen also began to refine the "Wind-moving Pill". Chaos Fire emerged in the palm of his hand, and the flame poured into the Qiankun Cauldron. Then, he put the herbs into the cauldron one by one.
When he got to one of the herbs, Xiao Chen decisively threw it away.
On the other side, Xiao Yan, who had failed in refining the Wind-Running Pill for the first time, remained silent for a moment. His eyes suddenly stopped on the prescription on the stone platform. He pursed his lips slightly, clenched his hands tightly, and murmured softly:
"Damn it... there's something wrong with the prescription..."
Hey, a bunch of mediocre people…” In the quiet square, a sarcastic low laugh suddenly sounded, causing everyone to glare at them angrily.
The person who made the sound was the gray-robed youth in that remote corner. At this time, there was also a pile of black ashes on the stone platform in front of him. It seemed that the first time, it also failed.
"It seems that I am ahead in this round. The alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire are just so-so..."
The gray-robed youth quickly threw the last portion of medicinal herbs on the table into the medicine cauldron, and a faint laugh echoed in the square.
While speaking, the young man in gray robe did not slow down at all. Each medicinal plant was quickly refined in the flames. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have understood the exact problem of the previous failure.
"Haha, you think too much"
Suddenly another voice sounded, and Xiao Chen spoke lightly, with a mocking tone in his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen stretched out his palm and tapped the Qiankun Ding lightly. The lid of the cauldron fell off, and a round pill as big as a longan flew out and hovered in front of him. There was a circle of ripples outside the pill.
The next moment, Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and the elixir in front of him turned into a beam of light and shot into the jade bottle. Immediately, a green light lit up from the jade mirror in front of Xiao Chen. The light was so dazzling. Looking at the green light, everyone present was stunned, and the gray-robed boy's face instantly turned ashen and gloomy.
When Xiao Yan saw the green light in front of Xiao Chen, and saw that there were no black ashes and extra herbs in front of Xiao Chen, he nodded and said:
"As expected of Brother Chen, he didn't even fail once and figured out that there was something wrong with the recipe!"
"This guy just loves to show off." Ya Fei looked at the gray-robed boy's gloomy face with her beautiful eyes and said with a sweet smile.
"Are Miss Yafei and Xiao Chen very familiar with each other?" Upon hearing this, Yao Ye beside him asked.
"Haha, we have known each other for a long time." Yafei said with a smile on her charming face.
Seeing many alchemists around looking at him, Xiao Chen picked up a herb on the table and threw it on the ground. That herb was exactly the Thick Earth Ganoderma.
Looking at Xiao Chen's actions, the alchemists around were stunned. After a while, some people who figured out the problem looked at Xiao Chen with gratitude, and then hurriedly seized the time to refine the medicine.
At this moment, many girls on the stage looked towards Xiao Chen in the center of the square. Xiao Chen's previous performance had undoubtedly touched the hearts of those girls. Some of the bold girls even flirted with him.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yan, the gray-robed boy, Yao Yue, Liu Ling and other pharmacists had completed the refining of the Wind-Running Pill in different orders. The jade mirrors in front of them all emitted green light.
When the hourglass hanging on the wall completely poured down, there were only nearly a hundred people left in the spacious square, and the others had been completely swept out by these two rounds. .
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and a crescent moon slowly appeared from the horizon, illuminating the brightly lit imperial capital.
"Everyone, today's conference will end here. Please have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow is the last round of our conference, and it is also an important round to decide the champion. So, please do not be unable to attend due to various reasons. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life." On the high platform, Fa Ma laughed loudly.
Hearing Fa Ma announce the end of today's assessment, everyone in the square breathed a sigh of relief. These two rounds of assessments really made everyone tired. After all, they were only second or third rank alchemists.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen put the Qiankun Ding in front of him into the Qiankun Ring. The power of space wrapped his body. The next moment, he appeared beside Xian'er and others, and then left the square with them.
The gray-robed boy looked at Xiao Chen's departing back, felt Xiao Chen's soul power, and whispered to himself: "This kid is not simple, but the championship of this conference is mine"
After walking out of the square, Xiao Chen heard a soft and pleasant voice coming from behind him.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, congratulations." Princess Yaoye said with a smile on her face.
Behind her were Nalan Yanran and Yafei, as well as the patriarchs of various major families and some noble children, all laughing and talking.
"Princess Yaoye said that she will host a banquet tonight to celebrate for you and Liu Ling. I wonder if brother Xiao Chen will..." Yafei walked up and said softly.
After hearing Ya Fei's words, many people turned their eyes to Xiao Chen, waiting for his answer.
"Thank you, Princess Yaoye, for your kindness. However, I am too tired today. I want to go back and have a good rest. Prepare for the assessments tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Chen bowed to Princess Yao Ye, then reached out and held the soft and delicate hands of Xian'er and Xiao Yixian, then turned around and strode into the street.
