Chapter 65: Poison Pill
The day before the start of the pill competition, Mei Niang and her entourage already felt a strong atmosphere, the day before the start, everyone coincidentally came out of the stele forest, some of them were more familiar, and they went to each other to meet and chat, and listened to the opponents they might meet; 。
Although Mei Niang feels that her alchemy is already very powerful, but it is also with the help of a master, and a good Dan furnace has different fires, in fact, her experience is much worse than that of many senior alchemists, and she has the opportunity to observe the proud works of others, so she will naturally not let it go. And if you fancy some pills that you really need, even if you pay some high prices, it doesn't hurt.
The Treasure Pavilion Master did not meet with Mei Niang and the others, as he was busy checking all the details of the tournament, after all, it also involved the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion, especially safety and fairness, which were his main concerns.
Mei Niang, Li Haoyu, and Feng Yu were all watching the pill exhibition in the boutique area, while Wu Bailian took Lin Qin to hang out outside, these days, although she also restrained her temperament and practiced for a while, she still had a lot of time to spend on choosing things in the Treasure Pavilion and going outside to see the excitement.
If it weren't for the fact that the pill contest was about to start, it was estimated that Wu Bailian would be sick, and now that there are more people, the more excited she will be, where can she see any pills in the Treasure Pavilion, just go outside to see the excitement.
At the end of the day, Mei Niang's harvest was still very satisfying to herself, although she did not find any special pills for her own promotion, but she found that a Danzong actually had refining pills suitable for contract demonic beasts, although the grade was not very high, and it could only be used by the warcraft of the Yuan Infant Stage to improve some skills, but it was undoubtedly sought after by most alchemists. Because not all alchemists are fire attributes, many people are borrowed contract monsters, and the stronger the strength of the monsters, the better the fire will naturally be.
Mei Niang was interested because she wanted to figure out the ingredients and refining principles of these pills, and see if she could refine some pills that could be suitable for Wu Bailian to eat. She really understood it now, she either had to provide Wu Bailian with a pill like a mountain pile, or she had to find an elixir suitable for her to improve, and let her practice with her own aura, not to mention the poor effect, she couldn't calm down at all. Thinking about the growth process of Bailian, it is actually "eaten", which also makes Mei Niang envious at the same time, but also has some more distress.
The pill competition came as scheduled, it was really full of people, and the scene full of Dan furnaces was full of shock, Wu Bailian was extremely excited, and it was the first time she had seen such a formation.
I saw that on the judges' seat, all of them were sitting with good manners, and it was said that the strength of the ten judges was at the level of senior alchemists, according to Mei Niang's thoughts, female alchemists were indeed too scarce, and only one of the ten was a woman.
But they all look really good, whether they are handsome and chic or not, at least they are all light-colored robes, and when the wind blows, they really have the aura of fairy wind and bones.
In the pill square, there are a hundred pill furnaces densely placed. The Dan furnace in the preliminary round was provided by the Treasure Pavilion in order to prevent anyone from doing anything inside, and in the middle of every five Dan furnaces, there was an assistant judge who maintained order and ensured fairness, wearing a black robe with a golden tripod embroidered on it, which was the exclusive logo of the Treasure Pavilion.
According to the co-judge who presided over the competition, there are a total of 1,000 alchemists who signed up for the competition, and 100 will be selected after the preliminary competition.
Hundreds of alchemists in the second round of the semi-finals will receive an exclusive membership card of the Treasure Pavilion, which not only allows discounts for purchasing items in the Treasure Pavilion, but also can obtain VIP-level service treatment, which is also a sign of identity.
Ten alchemists will be selected for the semi-finals, and they will also use the medicinal materials provided by the Treasure Pavilion and their Dan Furnace, but they may exchange them to a higher quality Dan Furnace. These ten alchemists received the silver card of the Treasure Pavilion, and the discount and service enjoyment content are more and better than the ordinary membership card, in addition, they can also get one-on-one counseling from the judges, which may be the reward that many small sects or participating families that do not have too strong Dan masters are more valued.
In the final finals, only the top three will be selected, which is also Mei Niang's goal this time, never to be the first, but there must be some results, otherwise the treasure pavilion master may regret the aura card he sent.
Later, after the host announced the top three awards, Mei Niang strengthened her determination to take the top three, because the top three people can get the treasure pavilion treasured for hundreds of years in the Danjing library for a week's reference, of course, there are also some magic weapon rewards, but although the grade of the magic weapon is not bad, it is no longer what Mei Niang, who holds Emperor Zhang's treasure, can see.
The host ended his passionate rules and announced, as soon as the voice fell, the cheers and applause on the scene suddenly lasted, it seems that the rewards and places this time are quite satisfactory to all the people who came, and the others are not rewarded, but the experience of participating in the competition, as well as the growth of observation in the stele forest, are already a great harvest.
At this time, Mei Niang was already lined up on the west side of the square with thousands of contestants, and their entry numbers were distributed to everyone in the order of appearance. Mei Niang got 3-20, which means that the third batch entered and was refined at the No. 20 Dan furnace.
According to their discussion in a low voice, Mei Niang also knew that the luck of the first batch and the last two batches of people who entered the market was not very good, because the first batch was a cold furnace, and the last two batches were hot furnaces, which would have some impact on the quality of the elixir, of course, for the masters, this impact was completely negligible, so that Mei Niang still thought a little vaguely, is her number a bit wasted?
The first batch and the second batch of people spent a morning refining the end, some people are happy and some are worried, of course, the happy people may just play extraordinarily, which does not mean that they will be selected, and most of the sad ones are not related to the semi-finals.
According to this progress calculation, only half of the personnel can be completed today, and the people who originally got the beginning of the 6 words, and some of the happy people, suddenly became a little more restless, but they were quickly sentenced to drink, because they were facing a cold stove early tomorrow morning, and the original one was 9-10, so it was a little more psychological comfort, after all, if there are only four or five furnaces, it can't be regarded as a hot furnace.
Mei Niang came on the field close to noon, and it only took half an hour to complete the refining, just a primary pill, looking around, Mei Niang suppressed the idea of leaving, until nearly half an hour later, someone completed the refining, Mei Niang and he presented the pill to the co-judge and left the venue.
When she returned to Li Haoyu and them, she found that Wu Bailian was actually asleep, and it seemed that only the previous opening made her a little excited, and now it seems that she has already passed the energy.
Mei Niang smiled and shook her head, signaling Li Haoyu for them to leave with him, except for Feng Yu, everyone else must have no opinion, at least they can be more relaxed when they return to their residence, and Mei Niang is not there, they also feel that there is nothing to see in front.
Mei Niang directly said that she wanted to study the pills she bought, and she would not go again in the preliminary round, so let them arrange their own arrangements, and after going directly to the semi-finals the day after tomorrow, Mei Niang went back to her room to grind the pills she bought, and used her tongue to judge the medicinal materials little by little.
At this time, I had to thank Feng Yu for the basic skills of Mei Niang at that time, even if it was limited by the environment at that time, there were not many varieties of herbs that could be collected, but Feng Yu was very strict with Mei Niang, all the herbs listed in the Herb Sutra, he would describe and describe the characteristics of this medicinal material one by one, and repeatedly did spot checks, this is actually the requirement of the big family for the descendants of the lineage, which undoubtedly has an indispensable impact on the future promotion.
Mei Niang took out a pen and paper, and wrote it down every time she judged one, and when the variety was judged, it was the weight of the weight, and finally the continuous simulation of the effect of the elixir. Since the quantity of this elixir can be supplied indefinitely, it also shows that there is nothing too cherished about the medicinal materials, and the difficulty lies in improving the efficacy of the medicine, how to develop the elixir suitable for the white lotus.
About only an hour and a half later, Mei Niang wrote down almost all the ingredients, only a slight astringency can not be judged, then looked at the sky, it was almost dark, thinking that today's competition was about to come to an end, Mei Niang put the fine powder in a medicine bottle, and quickly went to find Feng Yu.
When he found Feng Yu, he had just completed his preliminary competition, and was leading the disciples of the Feng family to prepare to return to the room.
After reading the ingredients that Mei Niang had written down, and after tasting them carefully for a while, Feng Yu's expression became ugly.
Mei Niang looked at Feng Yu curiously, and after seeing that he was finally stunned, she sighed again, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Feng Yu nodded, shook his head again, and said with a bit of heaviness: "This pill has a taste of the herb Blue Swallowtail, this herb can be used alone, it can temporarily stimulate a certain amount of potential, but there are some sequelae, so ordinary people are not very good at using it, which is why I didn't teach you before." ”
"But when the Blue Swallowtail and the Blood Mist Grass are put together, it will produce an effect of achieving a strength commission by consuming qi and blood. Feng Yu couldn't help but sigh again when he said this: "This matter can be big or small, so the alchemy family has not revealed it, because after taking the pill, the demonic beast can be improved to at least the cultivation of the middle of the Yuan Infant, but the more you take it, the shorter the lifespan of this demonic beast will be." ”
Mei Niang only understood at this time, from the perspective of human nature, many people think that the contract Warcraft is just an alchemy tool, and with this elixir, all the fire attribute Warcraft can be promoted to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, so if they die, they will change it. But some people definitely can't accept it, such as Feng Yu, he will definitely not make such a move to his big cat.
This pill seems to be a little chicken ribs, without the blue swallowtail, this pill will not have a lifting effect, and if there is, it will be more harmful, Mei Niang will never give it to Bai Lian, it seems that the pill she bought before to be eaten as a snack for Bai Lian can only choose to destroy, thinking of this, Mei Niang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fortunately today is the game, and she hasn't had time to hand over the pill to Bai Lian, otherwise it won't hurt her.
Feng Yu saw Mei Niang's expression, and didn't know what she was thinking, so he simply sat down and said to her seriously: "Not all pills have a positive effect, and there are many people who specialize in refining poison pills. You may have heard this, but the most terrifying thing about some poison pills is that they can look similar to other pills, and people who are not proficient in them cannot distinguish them, and they can become invisible blades for killing. ”
Feng Yu's words made Mei Niang seem to open up another realm of pill cognition, and at the same time sounded the alarm for her, that is, if she doesn't understand, she can't try it at will, even if the other party says no matter how fanciful she is, she can't be gullible, it seems that her vigilance against alchemy is indeed a little relaxed, but do you know that such relaxation will harm her own people one day?
