BXBX NOVEL Chapter 272: alchemy competition
The middle-aged cultivator with eight grains of pills ranked second with eight points, and the young cultivator scored seven points and ranked third.
Wang Hong scored six points and tied for fourth with seven players. It is still a bit difficult to enter the top five.
After scoring everyone, the second round of alchemy began.
In this round of competition, everyone refined the same elixir. This elixir is called Bailudan, which is a second-order healing elixir.
In this round of alchemy, the old man made eight pills, one of which was a middle-grade pill, and scored twelve points, still far ahead.
Wang Hong still scored six points in this round, and he is still ranked fourth together with four monks.
If you want to be ranked in the top five, you can only hope for the last round. Many people think so.
After the third round of competition started, everyone was given a large package of medicinal materials, but there were no pills. Everyone was asked to pick out medicinal materials and refine the pills.
There are many kinds of elixir contained in this package of medicinal materials, but there is not any one elixir formula. If you refine any elixir formula, you will lose a few medicines.
This stumped everyone all at once. There were not enough materials to refine a elixir, so it was impossible to open a furnace to refine it.
"Master Mei Dian, isn't the question you asked too difficult?" The skinny judge sighed.
"Yes, alchemists who can modify the alchemy formula are only a very small number after all, and it is even more difficult to complete it in such a short period of time." Another judge also felt the same.
"Our Qingxu Sect can praise the entire world of cultivating immortals with the way of alchemy, not only because we have the most alchemists, but also because we have the top alchemists in the entire world of alchemy.
As the master of the alchemy hall, I naturally have to train the top alchemists for the sect. "
When Dianzhu Mei said these words, his expression was rarely serious.
Of course, among the more than a hundred people, there is not nothing they can do.
At this time, some alchemists had already started refining, and there was a burnt smell from time to time.
Some are still thinking and hesitating, picking up and putting down the elixir repeatedly, but they just can't make a decision.
Wang Hong was still frowning and thinking hard at this time, and the white-bearded old man also started refining after thinking for a while.
The sound of the fryer was heard from time to time around, and the smell of burning wafted all over the hall. Wang Hong finally started refining.
In the end, in the third round, only three people were able to refine the elixir out of more than a hundred people, including Wang Hong.
Due to the modification of the pill formula, everyone's pill success rate is not high, only two or three pills.
Moreover, since the formula has been changed, I don't know how effective it will be.
The three brought the elixir they had refined to the three judges, and asked the judges to appraise it.
The dry and thin judges gently picked up the elixir refined by the white-bearded old man, observed it carefully for a while, put it in front of their noses and smelled it, and then scraped off a little powder and put it in their mouths.
After a while, his face showed satisfaction.
"That's right. The formula of the water elixir has been changed. The water grass and the tendon grass have been removed, and two flowers have been added. The refining method has also been changed more appropriately."
After the dry and thin judges praised the white-bearded old man, they pointed out some shortcomings.
At the same time, Dianzhu Mei inspected the elixir refined by the middle-aged monk, and found it to be okay, so he gave some pointers by the way.
Only the chubby monk inspected Wang Hong's elixir, looked at it for a long time, but didn't say anything.
"You two, look at this elixir, I can't recognize what elixir it is."
Finally, he handed over the two pills in his hand to Dianzhu Mei and the dry and skinny judges beside him.
The two of them took the elixir, looked at it a lot, and then each used some methods of identifying the elixir.
Although they don't know that He Danfang made it, it doesn't affect their judgment on the properties and efficacy of the pill.
"Do you know what the name of the pill is?"
After the two identified it, they guessed that it might be a new kind of elixir. I don't know where Wang Hong got the elixir.
"It doesn't have a name yet, the younger generation has just refined it, and it hasn't had time to name it yet."
He counted the elixir in the package just now, and felt that if he used the old formula to change it, there would always be more or less deficiencies, and he would not be able to exert the maximum effect of these elixir.
After careful consideration, he recombined these elixirs and designed a new prescription that could give full play to the maximum effectiveness of this package of elixirs.
"So, this elixir is just a temporary elixir formula you designed today, and then refined?"
Master Mei tried her best to suppress the shock in her heart, and asked with a calm expression.
As the master of the alchemy hall, senior Jindan, she naturally couldn't lose her composure in front of the juniors, as this would damage the dignity of the seniors.
"It's the prescription created by the younger generation on the spur of the moment, which made all the masters laugh at me. Please correct me if there are any deficiencies."
Wang Hong then roughly explained the design idea of Danfang, and the three Jindan judges nodded repeatedly.
The hearing of the monks is very good, and the other monks in the hall all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Actually, most people didn’t understand it, they just felt it was very profound, and they all nodded their heads. Only a few people really understood it, and felt that they had benefited a lot.
"Not bad! It's not easy to understand the way of alchemy so deeply at a young age. However, there are still some shortcomings in this alchemy formula."
Dianzhu Mei praised Wang Hong a lot, and at the same time pointed out some shortcomings.
Being a third-tier alchemist, although he can't create alchemy formulas in a short time like Wang Hong, it's not difficult to pick out some defects from it.
As a senior, naturally you can't praise the whole process. After the praise, you need to pour some cold water appropriately, which is the way to be a senior.
After some evaluation, the final ranking results came out.
The white-bearded old man had a total score of 36 points, ranking first without any suspense.
The middle-aged monk has a total score of 17 points, ranking second in the ranking.
Wang Hong has a total score of 15 points, ranking third. Although he can create his own pills, his theoretical level is undoubtedly the first, but this competition is based on the ranking of the refined pills.
Master Mei Dianzhu first encouraged all the alchemists who participated in the competition, and then focused on praising the alchemists who won the top five.
Especially for the white-bearded old man's alchemy skills, I highly praised him, and then asked him to share his success with the alchemists.
“There is no shortcut in the world, only concentration and familiarity.”
The old man first said briefly, and then he has been focusing on alchemy, so that he has not left the sect for decades.
He is 150 years old this year, and he has been concentrating on alchemy for more than a hundred years. He doesn't know spells, talisman making, weapon refining, or even fighting skills. Apart from alchemy, he has nothing special.
After the old man finished speaking, for a long time, the hall fell into silence. These words touched everyone's mind.
If you want to succeed in a field, you must focus on it for a long time, and at the same time you have to give up some things.
The reason why Wang Hong can master several skills at the same time is mainly because he has space.
In fact, the time he spent on alchemy is at least a hundred years.
It's just that he pays more attention to the speed and efficiency of alchemy, but he doesn't pay so much attention to the alchemy rate.
