Chapter 935 Alchemy Competition
"Is there anyone else who wants to participate? If no one else wants to participate, the competition will officially begin." A sloppy old man said with his nostrils buttoned. You can smell a foul smell, and I don't know how long I haven't bathed.

"And me..." Chen Ziang hurriedly pushed away from the crowd and walked in front of the old man.

The old man looked Chen Ziang up and down, then nodded and said, "Okay, even if you have a place, there are now 53 people participating, and the competition will start immediately."

At this time, a middle-aged man in a fine attire walked up to the old man, clasped his hands respectfully and said, "Old man, can I take a step to speak?"

Chen Ziang had seen this middle-aged man before. He was Lin En, the imperial alchemist of Caesar's mercenary regiment, who ranked first in the mercenary guild.

"Fart off, I'm not going anywhere," the old man said while shaking his feet, looking like the boss of the sky and his second child.

Lin En was stunned for a while, and then said, "The prescription you sold is very important to our trade union. I am willing to pay three times the price for it, and I hope the old man will fulfill it."

After everyone heard what he said clearly, there was an uproar. The price of a piece of fourth-grade elixir was not low at all, and three times the price would be a sky-high price. I am afraid that a mercenary group of ordinary size may not be able to earn this price even if they work hard for a year.

"I won't sell it, I won't sell it for any amount of money. If you want the Danfang, you can win this competition. The Danfang is naturally yours." The old man shouted angrily, spitting at Lin En's face.

Lin En suppressed his anger and wiped the spittle off his face, nodded and said, "Since the old man is so determined, please start the competition."

Chen Ziang couldn't help but snicker at the side. This Lin En has always been pampered. He didn't expect to meet such an old man with a weird temper. However, even after being spat on, Xingzi didn't fall out. He could tell that Lin En was a person. not bad.

The old man jumped onto a stage that was set up, and said, "In this competition, I will provide you with a pill formula. I will choose the best one based on comprehensive factors such as refining speed and pill quality."

Everyone in the audience had smiles on their faces when they heard this. Unexpectedly, they came to participate in a competition and got a prescription for free. Even if they failed, it would not be a loss.

Then the old man took out a stack of papers, distributed one to each person, and said at the same time, "This elixir is a very rare second-grade elixir, called heavy elixir. The effect of this elixir is The whole person will feel the gravity ten times heavier than before, and even walking will become difficult.”

Someone in the audience asked aloud, "Isn't that restraining oneself? What kind of elixir is this? If it is secretly taken by the enemy, it is better to use poison?"

"Idiot! Pig without a brain!" The old man yelled mercilessly.

"This elixir should be used during cultivation, right?" Chen Ziang had already guessed the function of this elixir, so he said directly.

The old man looked at Chen Ziang and nodded, "That's a good guess. This elixir is used for cultivation. If you practice under ten times the gravity, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, the fatigue you will suffer will also be doubled. Most people can't last a few times. Planting elixir is gradually forgotten by people.”

Everyone suddenly realized that the elixir has such a miraculous effect, which is really amazing.

"Next, please take out your own medicine squirrels." After finishing speaking, the old man retreated into the crowd, giving space to 52 pharmacists.

As a pharmacist, it is natural to take the guy with the meal, everyone took out their own medicine squirrels, and the 52 medicine squirrels were arranged in an orderly manner, which was very spectacular.

Chen Ziang glanced at Lin En's medicine boat, and he could tell from its appearance that it was a good tripod, definitely much better than his own medicine boat, if he wanted to win, he had to use absolute medicine refining techniques to crush it.

Then the old man gave each of them two copies of the medicinal materials needed for heavy pills, and said, "It is impossible for a pharmacist not to fail, so I will give each of you two copies of pills, but if the two copies of pills are even If you fail, you should stop being a pharmacist and go home to farm and raise pigs."

The crowd was discussing, some people said that the old man's words were really bad, some people said that the old man's words were straightforward, and many mercenaries liked him.

Chen Ziang didn't think too much about it, but he must be unfamiliar with the refining of elixir that has never been refined before. In this case, the failure rate will be extremely high. He is sure that more than [-]% of alchemists will fail twice.

"I'll count to three, and you can start refining when I say start, three two. One to start!"

After the old man finished yelling to start, every pharmacist used fire-type fighting skills to ignite the bottom of the medicine squirrel, and then threw the medicinal materials into it one after another. As a result, someone threw the medicinal materials into the fire at the first step because they were too nervous. If one part of the ingredients is missing, you can only use the second part.

The old man moved quickly through the crowd. When he came to Chen Ziang, he stopped for a moment, looked at the purple flames and nodded secretly, and then went on to look at the next person.

Chen Ziang didn't notice the old man's gaze, and meticulously threw the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner. The most taboo thing when making alchemy is distraction, and a little distraction may fail.

As time passed, many pharmacists put away their alchemy furnaces one after another. Some of these people were only first-grade pharmacists, and some used up both medicines due to mistakes, so they could only leave with regret. .

There were still seven people left on the field, but most of them cast their eyes on Chen Ziang and Lin En. Everyone knew that only the two of them were qualified to compete for the first place.

The elixir fragrance filled the air, and everyone could smell the aroma of the medicinal materials being refined in the furnace, which meant that the elixir was almost ready.

"I've refined it!" Lin En was the first to speak, and then put the refined medicine into the jade bottle.

"I'm healed too!" Chen Ziang looked at Lin En complicatedly after refining the elixir. He was only a few seconds slower than Lin En, but if he was slow, he was slow. Fortunately, the old man's criterion was not only speed.

The old man took the pills from the two of them, first glanced at them roughly, and then said, "In terms of pills, this kid won." The person he was referring to was Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang felt a little relieved, at least he regained the quality of the pill.

"Impossible! How could his elixir be of a better grade than mine?!" Lin En was anxious. He simply did not believe that a young man who was just starting out could refine elixirs that were better than his own.

"Here, take it and see for yourself." After finishing speaking, the old man threw Chen Ziang's elixir over.

Lin En held the elixir while looking at it and said, "The elixir I refined is already a high-level Xuan-level, and it is already considered remarkable that he can refine an intermediate-level Xuan-level, how could it be better than me." He just said In the middle of speaking, he stood up, and murmured with his eyes wide open, "Ground steps!"
