Chapter 295: Opening
Seeing Gu Fan so confident, Huo Jingpeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, wait for your good news." {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}"
When Huo Jingpeng left, Gu Fan began to meditate, and he could feel that in that diamond-shaped crystal, a very soft aura was constantly emanating, and gradually, his state of mind was maintained at a very stable level.
When he no longer thought about anything about the Snow Eagle Gate in his mind, and he was no longer in a hurry for quick success, Gu Fan felt that his current state was unprecedentedly good, and the answers to some questions he couldn't understand automatically jumped out.
For the alchemist, the importance of the state of mind can be seen!
Subsequently, Gu Fan seized the time and directly started alchemy.
At midnight, a joyful smile appeared on the corner of Gu Fan's mouth......
Meanwhile.
As a referee, Luo Zheng quietly slipped into a small warehouse, which contained dozens of students from the Fengzhou Branch, and only he and Ma Shuisheng had the keys to the alchemy materials handed in independently.
For an upright person, it is really against his conscience to do this kind of thing of rat theft and dog stealing, so Luo Zheng has always been bitter, feeling a great burden, and his body is even more cold sweat.
Several times he wanted to follow his heart and give up this move, but he looked at the ice crystal divine fire that jumped out of his palm, and found that he had already boarded the thief ship, and it was impossible to be good anymore.
Besides, it was like killing him to lose this Ice Crystal Divine Fire, so in the end, he came.
Luo Zheng rummaged through dozens of material boxes, and soon found a box with the word 'Fan Gu' written on it, and after opening it, it was indeed the material of the lower grade of the Xuan Rank, so it proved that Fan Gu was indeed promoted to the Xuan Rank!
Originally, Luo Zheng was still fantasizing, if Fan Gu didn't break through, then there would be no need to steal the beams and change the pillars by himself, so that he would not be guilty of betraying his conscience, and he would be able to take a divine fire for nothing, which was simply refreshing.
But it's a pity that when he saw the Xuan-rank materials in the box, his brows furrowed high, and finally he gritted his teeth and replaced the high-grade materials of the Yellow Rank prepared in advance.
……
Next.
Today is the day when the Alchemist Competition begins, and all the local branches in the Ancient Martial Arts Realm are all held simultaneously, such a grand event has certainly attracted great attention, but since the Pharmacist Guild has always been low-key, outsiders are not allowed to come to watch.
At eight o'clock in the morning, all the teachers and students of the branch gathered in a huge venue, with more than a dozen seats below, which were the positions of the president, referees and teachers.
And on that huge stage, there are dozens of tables, one place for each student, and they are all standing there, waiting for the start of the game.
Gu Fan's left hand side is Tang Yi, and on his right hand side is Wang Yu.
To Gu Fan's surprise, Tang Yi was now also a Xuan-level alchemist, and he said sincerely: "Congratulations." ”
Tang Yi was still worried about the matter of the Nightingale Forest, although he knew the truth from Huo Jingpeng, he was still a little displeased, "Hmph, congratulations, I've been on the Yellow Order for more than a year, how long have you been here......"
The woman's emotions are so terrible, Gu Fan doesn't dare to make any more mistakes.
It was Wang Yu, when he heard Gu Fan's words, he was very unhappy, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he still let that kid be promoted to the Xuan Rank!
At this time, Wang Yu was secretly glad that if he hadn't bribed the referee, it would be really hard to say who would have died in this competition, but now nothing matters, wait for that kid to find out that the material is Huangjie, shouldn't he cry his nose?
At this moment, where did Gu Fan know that his materials had been dropped, and he was still secretly thanking God, went to the Nightingale Forest, harvested a crystal stone, and successfully refined the Xuanjie Pill last night, which was very beautiful.
After a while, Ma Shuisheng stood up, looked at the dozens of students on the stage, and said with a smile: "Today is the annual event of our guild, most of the students have participated in it in the past, don't have any psychological burden, just do your best, but it's a cliché, I still have to motivate you, the champion of this competition will get a place to go to the general guild for further study!"
Although I have known it for a long time, the students still feel enthusiastic, you must know that the threshold for the general guild to accept people is extremely high, but not any cat or dog can go, once you go in, you will come out later, and at the very least, you will also be a ground-level alchemist, and in this branch, you will never be able to get to the ground-level for the rest of your life.
This is the reason for the gap between the heritage and the inheritance, and they naturally can't be calm.
Ma Shuisheng waved his hand and continued: "In addition, don't think that there is no benefit except for the champion, the ranking of this competition is also very important, the higher the ranking, the richer the reward, so students who have not yet been promoted to the Xuan Rank, do not be discouraged." ”
The level of the students is uneven, those yellow-level alchemists, knowing that they will not have a quota, but they still come to participate in the competition, naturally for the reward, so regarding the quota, it is a battlefield for the Xuan-level alchemists.
Now, there are only three Xuan-level students in the entire branch, namely Gu Fan, Tang Yi and Wang Yu, which means that the quota will be generated from the three of them, and as for the others, they are competing for other rich rewards, which is like two battlefields.
And the evaluation rules of the competition are also very simple, start with the quality of the pill, whoever has the high quality of the pill will win, if the quality and fineness are comparable, then it depends on who has a shorter time to refine.
Therefore, this is a double competition of quality and time.
After everything that should be said, Ma Shuisheng solemnly announced: "Begin!"
With an order, all the students were ready to start alchemy, and the people of the Yellow Order came to the thick Dan furnace, and the three of Gu Fan directly took out the unique Ding.
Tang Yi's Ding and Huo were both bought, so they were mediocre and did not attract attention, and Wang Yu, when he showed the Jinlong Ding, the students behind him couldn't help but marvel, sure enough, they were the favorite players for the championship, and the Jinlong Ding was very compelling.
On the other hand, Gu Fan's reputation is now louder than Wang Yu's, and after reading Wang Yu's, everyone also looked at Gu Fan, and finally found that Gu Fan took out a small broken tripod that seemed to be made of copper, and everyone almost laughed.
Wang Yu is like a king, with a golden dragon tripod, and Gu Fan ...... Even if he is very powerful, but taking out such a thing, he is like a beggar, which makes people feel that his winning rate has plummeted.
For that group of illiterate people, Gu Fan chose to smile lightly, and it had no effect.
Immediately after, Gu Fan opened the material box, and at that moment, his whole face was almost green, and his eyes seemed to fly out, almost stupid!
How could a good Xuan-level material become a yellow-level high-grade?
Discovering such a terrible thing, Gu Fan didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly shouted at Ma Shuisheng: "President, my materials seem to have been tampered with!"
Well?
Hearing this, everyone stopped their movements, and looked at them all together, most of them were at a loss, only Wang Yu, he sneered in his heart, he had been waiting for this scene for a long time!
Ma Shuisheng asked, "What's wrong?"
"I prepared the Xuan-rank materials, I just opened the box and found that it has become a yellow-level ......" Gu Fan said very depressedly.
Ma Shuisheng's horror was no less than that of Gu Fan, he looked directly at Luo Zheng and said, "This ...... Can you ask him to change the material?"
Luo Zheng had long expected this moment to happen, and he pretended to be calm and said: "There are clear rules for the competition, and materials are not allowed to be replaced after they enter the competition, don't you understand?"
"But he ......"
"Needless to say, this is the rule of the Pharmacist Guild, how can it be changed because of the player's own mistakes?" Luo Zheng snorted coldly: "In such an important competition, even the materials can be wrong, how careless is that!"
O Nima wall!
Gu Fan's eyes are about to erupt into fire, what is the player's own mistake? Gu Fan has never been a horseman, and when he handed in the materials yesterday, he confirmed it again and again, and it was obvious that he was yin.
But at this moment, Ma Shuisheng really has nothing to do, the rules have been there for a long time, it is not that Luo Zheng is unkind, so Ma Shuisheng doesn't know what to do.
In an instant, the pressure on Gu Fan's body was like the weight of ten thousand catties, and refining the Yellow Rank Pill seemed to be impossible to compare to the Xuan Rank, right?
In the end, Ma Shuichang sighed and said helplessly: "Do you choose to continue, or abstain." ”
Gu Fan knew that Ma Shuisheng had no choice, so he didn't blame him, and Gu Fan didn't answer immediately at this time, he was quietly thinking about what to do.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone else was already on the right track for alchemy, and Gu Fan was still pondering.
For a moment, Gu Fan suddenly thought of something, he raised his head suddenly, and said, "I'll continue!"
For Gu Fan's decision, the others didn't feel anything, but Wang Yu, he thought it was very strange, this kid knew that he was going to lose, and he still bothered to do something, did he want to retreat to the next best thing and get some rewards or something?
"Hmph, garbage, fight with Lao Tzu, let's go to the next life!" Wang Yu glanced at Gu Fan coldly, and then began to refine the pill with full concentration.
Gu Fan has always been Ma Shuisheng's most optimistic person, and now that there is such an unexpected change, he is also very troubled, but what can be done, as for why this kind of oolong incident occurred, he is also puzzled, he does not and does not dare to doubt Luo Zheng, in the end, he can only think that Gu Fan made his own mistake.
At this moment, the most uncomfortable thing is Huo Jingpeng, he has waited for so many years, and finally waited for such an excellent student, but in the end he was defeated by Providence.
With a sigh, Wang Laiqing, who was next to Huo Jingpeng, couldn't help but smile and said: "Tsk, I can't wait to pack up my things and go to the general guild, we have been fighting for so many years, and now that we are going to separate, do you have anything to say?"
"The game is over?Wang Yu has already won?The quota has already fallen into your hands?" Huo Jingpeng snorted coldly.
"Phew, the dead duck has a hard mouth, and he won't shed tears if he doesn't see the coffin, wait for you!" Wang Laiqing sneered.
