Ye Shuo and Qi Lan had expressions on their faces that happiness had come so suddenly.
However, thinking back to the scene at that time, especially when the white-haired and white-eyebrow judge said, "Can I taste it?", Ye Shuo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
I still remember that at that time, he was trying to stop it, but the elderly judge had swallowed his grilled fish pill without caring at all. Ye Shuo was petrified under the rostrum on the spot.
"There shouldn't be any problems with eating, right?" Ye Shuo was still comforting himself.
Unexpectedly, after the elderly judge ate the grilled fish pill, he shed two lines of tears!
"Elder Hongshen, what's wrong with you!" The people around hurriedly surrounded the elderly judges, and the judges' rostrum was chaotic for a while.
"No, I've just added some more preservatives, how can there be such serious consequences......" Ye Shuo also wanted to squeeze in to see what was going on, but was stopped by the guards who came out of nowhere to maintain order.
"Don't try to run!" the guards drank.
"I didn't want to run...... Ye Shuo stood there and looked around, muttering in his heart, "If I really want to run, no matter how many of you are, I can't stop you." ”
On the judges' rostrum, the chaotic crowd gradually subsided.
Elder Hongshen was propped up in a chair, and everyone around him looked concerned, "Elder Hongshen, how are you feeling!?
Elder Hongshen, who was questioned, sat on the chair, as if immersed in an atmosphere that made him reluctant to leave, he slowly opened his teary eyes, swept over everyone's concerned faces one by one, and said, "Ah! It's so delicious!"
For a while, the entire judges' rostrum was silent.
Or maybe, there is the sound of crows flying by......
Chi Yunshi, who originally had a smile of schadenfreude gloating with ill intentions on his face, instantly stifled his smile, so that his facial expression appeared a little distorted.
He said stiffly, "Elder Hongshen, what the hell is going on?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Elder Hongshen waved his hand, as if he was still immersed in Fang Cai's grilled fish pill, infinitely aftertasted.
At this time, under the presidium of the judges, someone began to whisper.
"Oh my God, Elder Hongshen, it's time to eat!"
"And you didn't throw up this time?
"What's going on?" Ye Shuo looked back at Qi Lan.
"Well...... Qi Lan also grew her mouth, looking at everything that happened on the judges' rostrum, "That...... As for Elder Hongshen, let's start from 20 years ago. ”
In Qi Lan's babbling narration, Ye Shuo finally understood what happened to Elder Hongshen.
Twenty years ago, Elder Hongshen practiced the technique of retiring the valley and turtle breathing, did not eat grains, sucked wind and drank dew, and retreated for ten years, without a drop of water or rice.
But after leaving the customs, Elder Hongshen was not able to ride the clouds and control the flying dragon, on the contrary, he began to miss the taste of food incomparably. However, at this moment, Elder Hongshen had not eaten for too long, and he was suffering from an incurable disease called "anorexia".
The so-called anorexia is that whenever you eat, you will unconsciously feel uncomfortable, and you obviously want to eat, but your body's reaction is to vomit.
This symptom is difficult to treat, and Elder Hongshen has searched for famous doctors, but to no avail. Fortunately, Elder Hongshen has a deep foundation, and he can still nourish his body by recuperating and absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.
But Elder Hongshen also looked up to the sky and sighed: "In life, if you can't taste food, what's the point!"
So this time, Elder Hongshen tasted the grilled fish pill refined by Ye Shuo, and he was so excited, "I really can't see through this rolling red dust."
Sure enough, the fish is best grilled!"
So in this way, Ye Shuo advanced to the audition and entered the semi-finals.
Of course, there are also people who are not convinced, such as Chiyunshi.
"This is just nonsense!" he was furious, "This is the Alchemist Competition, not the Chef Competition! If it goes on like this, it will be full of roast duck pills in the future, what should I do if the roast chicken pills are still like words!?"
Elder Hongshen didn't care, "Don't think that this pill can be refined casually, in order to cure my anorexia, I haven't tried any way! The chef has not been invited, and it is useless! This time, this grilled fish pill cured my anorexia so easily, is this effect not enough to enter the semi-finals!"
Elder Hongshen said directly that the Chiyun World was speechless.
And Qi Lan, his path to promotion is even smoother than Ye Shuo.
The judges looked left and right around the "Danyang King Bone Stone Effect Multiplied by Fifty Times Dan".
"This name is too arbitrary!" Some judges have already begun to complain about the name.
"Although this elixir has indeed increased the efficacy of the Danyang King Bone Stone by more than fifty times, what is its use? The Danyang King Bone Stone is already a chicken rib for the alchemist, and the immediate effect has been increased by fifty times, it is also useless, maybe if it is used to refine the medicine, the failure rate will also increase by fifty times. ”
"What the other means, but it is not easy to find the Danyang King Bone Stone in this suburb, not to mention, without adding other raw materials, refining only one raw material to such a high purity requires extremely high refining levels for the alchemist. For that alone, he is fully qualified to advance. Some judges said so.
Since there were different opinions, the judges asked the audience, "Who refined this 'Danyang King Bone Stone Effect Multiplied by Fifty Times Dan'?"
When everyone in the audience heard this name, they all felt a burst of amusement.
At this time, Qi Lan stood up and said, "It's me." ”
"Qi Lan?" The alchemists in the audience who were originally laughing found that this elixir was refined by the champion of the last alchemist competition, and immediately changed their words, "It turned out that it was refined by Qi Lan, and this name is really extraordinary, concise and clear." ”
Qi Lan listened to the black lines on her face.
The judges on the judges' rostrum found out that it was Qi Lan, and immediately no longer had any objections, and did not raise any questions, and unanimously said "Pass!"
"This is too much to watch people put down the dishes!" This is the true thought in Qi Lan's heart at this time.
So, Qi Lan was successfully promoted.
Later, Qi Lan said to Ye Shuo: "This group of old guys is too unconscious as a judge. If I refine a dandelion hawthorn pill, they will definitely let me advance!"
Here, although Ye Shuo and Qi Lan refined two strange pills, they successfully passed the preliminary round, and the two happily returned to the Alchemist Guild to prepare for the second day's rematch.
On the other side, there are dark clouds.
Chi Yunshi's office was in the building southwest of the Alchemist Guild, and there were not many people left in the building at this time, and the entire building was quiet and terrifying.
Chi Yunshi sat alone in his office, he didn't have a light, and the inside of the office was very dim. The curtains were opened, and outside the window, it was a dark sky, and the moonlight poured in through the window.
There was a person standing in front of him, it was Chong Shuyao.
"Shu Yao, I heard Linglang say that you gave them the medicine tripod?" Chi Yunshi said, he had the light on his back, and he could only see a pitch-black figure, and his expression could not be seen.
Chong Shuyao nodded: "Exactly." ”
Chi Yunshi didn't speak, as if waiting for Chong Shuyao's next answer.
Sure enough, Chong Shuyao said slowly: "Master, even if I don't give them the medicine tripods, isn't it very convenient to get one or two pills at the level of the two of them?"
"So you gave them the medicine tripod so generously? I can't see it, my Shu Yao, and so good at adult beauty. ”
Chong Shuyao shook his head and smiled: "Originally, one of them was the champion of the last Alchemist Competition, and the other was the newly recruited apprentice of the highly respected Yunxing Master. If the two of them are eliminated in the audition, it won't be called normal. Therefore, even if you want to yin them, you can't do it at the time of the audition, otherwise, it will be too suspicious. ”
"So you sold your favor by the way, but, Shu Yao, they won't thank you. ”
"How can it be said that it is a betrayal? It's that I want to thank them. Chong Shuyao said and came to Chi Yunshi's side and sat on him, "Master, don't you think this kind of competition is too boring for a single family? So, wouldn't it be better to let those two boys be eliminated in the finals?"
Chong Shuyao blinked again, "What's more, I still have a killer feature." And this killer ......," she put her mouth to Chi Yunshi's ear and whispered, "I've already laid it down." Master, please wait and see. When she said this, the corners of her mouth pulled out an arc of unknown meaning, as if she was very expectant.
"Well, I'll see. Chi Yunshi closed his eyes with a smile and hugged Chong Shuyao in his arms.
Also in the Alchemist Guild, in Qi Lan's room, Ye Shuo had completely lost the joy of entering the semi-finals, and looked worried.
"Such a pervert...... Ye Shuo smacked his lips.
"Hmm!" Qi Lan nodded, "I also think it's a bit too much." This kind of competition rule can't be thought up by that guy from Chiyunshi again!"
It turned out that the rules of the rematch had been announced.
According to Qi Lan, in the past rematches, everyone refined their own elixirs and did not disturb each other.
Usually, the competition will specify the recipe for refining and the raw materials required. As long as it is refined according to the regulations, it will be fine.
It's just that the failure rate of the elixir to be refined in the competition is extremely high. Therefore, those who successfully refine the elixir can advance to the final finals.
However, this time there are new rules for the rematch.
In the semi-finals, every two people are divided into groups, and one group needs to refine two pills.
There are a lot of raw materials given, and the two members of the group can choose by themselves. But there is only one copy of all the ingredients in each group, which means that when two pills require a certain ingredient, only one person can get it.
Then in this case, unless the two people in the same group have a high level of refining medicine, they can still refine the pill under the default raw materials. If not, then only one person in a group can successfully refine the elixir, and even within the same group, a situation of losing both sides will appear.
"Where is this refining medicine, this is simply hurting each other!" Qi Lan looked very dissatisfied with such a rule, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, grabbed Ye Shuo's hand and said, "Senior brother, you said that if the two of us are divided into a group, what should we do!?"
"There's nothing to do about it, I'm naturally giving you all the ingredients. "Ye Shuo didn't have any interest in this alchemist competition, he was purely pulled by Master Yunxing to make up the numbers.
"Senior brother, you're so good!!" Qi Lan's eyes burst into stars.
"But......" his tone shrank again, "the names of this group must be artificially arranged, so I don't believe there will be any random assignments." If you assign me to those apprentices of the Chiyun World, especially Chong Shuyao!" At the mention of Chong Shuyao, Qi Lan Jinan's whole face became gloomy, "I really don't want to see her." ”
"Since you hate Chong Shuyao so much, why did you suddenly agree when she offered to give us the medicine tripod before?" Seeing Qi Lan's reaction, Ye Shuo asked suspiciously.
"Chong Shuyao?Yaoding?When did this happen?" Qi Lan's expression looked very confused, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes. Qi Lan, what's wrong with your memory?" Ye Shuo recalled to him: "It was the previous audition, when we had to go to the medicine refining pharmacy to refine medicine, there were a lot of people at that time, and since there was no medicine ding, we were queuing. Then Chong Shuyao came over and said that there were exactly two medicine tripods for us. Didn't you agree? I'm still wondering why you suddenly agreed to have a bad relationship with Chong Shuyao. ”
Listening to Ye Shuo's narration, Qi Lan's expression was still so confused, and she seemed to have fallen into some kind of deep thought, "This, let me think about it...... Let me think about ......"
Ye Shuo looked at Qi Lan's reaction and vaguely felt a little strange, "Qi Lan, you won't be hypnotized, right?" he said, wanting to check on Qi Lan's situation.
Seeing Ye Shuo approaching her, Qi Lan suddenly jumped up, took a step back, and separated herself from Ye Shuo by a certain distance, "Let me think about it...... It seems that there was such a thing, and there was not enough time at the time, so I didn't care about so much, anyway, now, we are all qualified, right?"
Although Qi Lan answered like this, he didn't seem to see any problem, but at this time, there was a mess of paste in his mind, "Chong Shuyao...... Yao Ding ...... "He seems to be still stuck in that question, and the words he answered Ye Shuo didn't seem like he said it himself, but more like someone was answering it instead of him."
But apart from this, Qi Lan seems very normal. This is also what Ye Shuo is puzzled about.
"What's wrong? Am I weird?" Qi Lan noticed that Ye Shuo had been looking at him.
"A little bit. ”
"Senior brother, don't scare me, I won't be sent down by the spirit again!" Qi Lan suddenly hugged her head and said.
"Again??" Ye Shuo listened to Qi Lan's words, and suddenly felt that things had really developed in a bad place.
