Chapter 69: The Duel, the Battle of the Imperial Priests
"Your Majesty, this seems to be unfair, the concubine chose the fourth-grade pill, but the Lord Ye is the fifth-grade pill, and the difficulty of alchemy is completely different. The Queen Mother frowned.
In the face of the Queen Mother's questioning, Emperor Xia had already had a countermeasure.
"Queen Mother, the royal priest not only has a great responsibility, but it also represents the face of my Great Xia priest. Of the more than a dozen kinds of pills written down by Fang Cai, half of the fourth-grade and fifth-grade pills were each. The chances of my concubine and Lord Ye being selected are half each, and I don't favor anyone. Or is it that Lord Ye can't even refine the five-grade pill. If as the imperial alchemist of Great Xia, he couldn't even refine the five-grade pill, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the alchemists of other countries?" Emperor Xia explained unhurriedly.
In fact, there was only one four-pin pill he wrote down, that is, the one that the concubine drawn.
It's just that at this time, who will question Emperor Xia.
"Queen Mother, what the emperor said is right, Ling Yue is willing to give it a try. Ye Lingyue sneered in her heart, but there was humility on her face.
Thinking that she was blind, fools could see that Emperor Xia and the concubine were singing and harmonizing.
Looking down on her, she made these guys who had no one in their eyes stunned.
The two of them each took the pill and began to refine the pill.
"Dragon language, Ling Yue could have refined the five-grade pill earlier?" the Queen Mother was worried and asked the Dragon Language Master.
"This ...... As far as I know, Ling Yue had only refined the Four Rank Pill at most, and this Seven Heart Pill, she should have refined it for the first time. "Master Dragon is also a little up and down at this time.
knew that Emperor Xia would be so partial, he would rather go into battle himself.
But this time, it was too late to regret it, Ye Lingyue and Concubine Yao had already entered their respective Dan rooms.
After an hour, the concubine took the lead in walking out of the Dan room, and she already had ten more Four-Rank Pill Yue Hua Dan in her hand.
When he saw those Yuehua Pills, Rao is always a picky Dragon Language Master was also a little surprised, among the ten pills, eight were blue-veined, two were yellow-veined, and none of them were ordinary pills.
Such a ratio of Cheng Dan is comparable to some six or seven Ding Fang scholars.
This concubine has a hand in alchemy, no wonder the Queen Mother invited Master Longyu to come out in person.
After a while, Ye Lingyue also came out.
"Baby apprentice, how is it? Have you refined the Seven Heart Pill?" Master Long Yu hurriedly stepped forward.
"Refining is refined, but the color is ......" Ye Lingyue had a melancholy look on her face, and her face was full of desire to talk.
When the Dragon Master and the Queen Mother heard this, their hearts couldn't help but sink.
My Concubine and Emperor Xia were secretly happy, the five pins of pills, the other party was just a four-ding fangshi, and it would be good to be able to refine one and a half.
As she spoke, when Ye Lingyue slowly poured out her own pills, five pills rolled out of the medicine bottle, which were indeed Seven Heart Pills, but the color was very average, just ordinary Seven Heart Pills.
"After all, this is the first time you have refined the Wupin Pill, and this success rate is already very good. Master Long Yu comforted Ye Lingyue.
But before Master Longyu's words were finished, a few more pills rolled out of the medicine bottle, different from the ordinary pills earlier, the remaining five seven-star pills in the bottle, the pills all flashed with a yellow line like moonlight.
"Five Yellow Stripes and Seven Heart Pills?" the Dragon Master was speechless.
"The apprentice also refined ten pills, it was the first time to refine them, and they didn't feel very good, they could only refine five yellow veins, they wasted a lot of medicinal materials, and they lost the face of your old man, master, Ling Yue really deserved to die. Ye Lingyue looked distressed.
"Forehead......" The corners of the dragon master's mouth twitched fiercely.
This good apprentice of his, he is really cheap and good.
Five yellow-veined pills, and they are also five-grade pills, such a success rate is probably only possible for a high-level alchemist like Master Longyu.
If even such a success rate is a waste, then the concubine's alchemy is simply a tyrannical thing.
My concubine compared with Ye Lingyue, and she immediately saw the superiority.
When Ye Lingyue said this, the concubine's expression was not very good.
"Your Majesty, the victory and defeat have been decided, this competition ......" The Queen Mother smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line.
She really likes the second lady of the Lan family more and more, and when she saw the concubine's expression, the queen mother's heart was full of joy.
"Queen Mother, although Lord Ye Jun has refined the yellow-veined pill, but the concubine has also refined the blue-veined pill, this competition, really about the result, I think it should be a draw. "Emperor Xia's partiality made the Queen Mother and Master Long Yu very dissatisfied.
But Emperor Xia is the queen mother's biological flesh and blood, and the queen mother is not good at brushing his face in public.
Anyway, Ye Lingyue has already won one and drawn one, and in the last round of the competition, he only needs to draw to win, and the Dragon Master and the Queen Mother are full of confidence in Ye Lingyue's victory.
Identifying the pill and refining the pill have already passed, and in this third round, what should be tried, for a while, the queen mother and the emperor have no idea.
"Your Majesty, when it comes to alchemy, Master Dragon is undoubtedly the most powerful person in Xia Capital today, why don't you let Master Dragon ask questions in this third round?"
Emperor Xia was noncommittal, and muttered secretly in his heart, Master Long Yu was the master of Lord Ye, and he would obviously favor Ye Lingyue.
Seeing this, the dragon language master smiled.
"The old man is Ling Yue's master, and he is presiding over the last round of the competition, but I am afraid that some people will not be convinced. The old man had an idea, when the old man was young, in order to improve his Dan skills, he often competed with his junior disciples. The specific method of learning is to choose a good elixir for each party and let the other party refine it, if anyone can't refine it, they will lose. ”
This kind of learning method that Master Long Yu said is no stranger to Ye Lingyue and Concubine Yao.
In the Fangshi Association, this alchemy model is called Bidan.
It's just that the general Bidan, the refining is all pills below the sixth grade, because the pills above the sixth grade have complex refining steps, and the materials consumed are also expensive.
Ye Lingyue and Concubine Xiao had no objection to this, and after discussing it, they definitely took Bi Dan as the third round of the competition.
For Bidan, my concubine can be described as full of confidence.
She is a few years older than Ye Lingyue, and she has followed the famous teacher since she was a child, and there are many more types of pills she has refined and seen than Ye Lingyue.
As she spoke, the concubine took out a sachet she had with her and took out a pill from it.
The elixir, golden in color, wafted out a charming aroma, and the most special thing was that the elixir was round and transparent, like a jewel, shining brightly.
When he saw this elixir, Master Long Yu couldn't help but gasp.
It was a three-grade passion pill, and the grade of the pill itself was not high, but it was definitely not something that could be refined casually, because the pill flashed with a red line like a crescent moon.
Red-veined passion pill, the best elixir among the three products.
