Chapter 85: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
Bai Zhen naturally also noticed Murong Yanyan's actions, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of darkness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Before, she had always thought that Murong Qianyan was only a third-grade alchemist at most. However, looking at Murong Qianyan's appearance now, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to refine the three-grade pill.
The more high-level elixirs you need, the more herbs you need to use. It is impossible to use hundreds of medicinal materials for the three grades of pills. Even the five-pin pill she refined didn't use so many medicinal materials. What grade of elixir does Murong Tianyan want to refine?
At the thought of this, Bai Zhen felt a little upset. It's because I don't know that I feel like this. At this time, she realized that many things were no longer within her expected range. It upset her.
On the rostrum, Wan Zushou couldn't help frowning after seeing Bai Zhen's appearance. For this apprentice, he still values it very much. It's just that he found that this apprentice seems to have changed a lot now. Before, Bai Zhen begged him, saying that he hoped to enter the Blue Dragon Academy. For this reason, he also specially asked Yuan Li.
However, after not seeing him for a while, he found that Bai Zhen had changed a lot. He had also heard of the previous fighting competition, and he couldn't believe that the ruthless person in those people's mouths was really the well-behaved and kind apprentice he used to be.
In the current alchemy competition, he can still see that Bai Zhen is absent-minded. He didn't know what Bai Zhen was thinking at the moment, but he had taught Bai Zhen before that alchemy must be fully concentrated.
Looking at the white hoop on the stage, Wan Zushou couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Zhen on the stage didn't know that Wan Zushou was disappointed in her at this moment. At this moment, she had already retracted her gaze, although she didn't know what kind of pill Murong Tianyan was refining, but she knew that she couldn't afford to lose now. The only thing she can do now is to win the championship in this competition, and only then can she turn everyone's impression of her around.
Before, she had planned to leave the Blue Dragon Academy after this academy competition. Now, though, it seems that she will have to stay for a while. Moreover, if she wants to poison Murong Yanyan, then she must restore her previous good popularity in order to be able to better find opportunities.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhen began to force himself to calm down. Originally, she planned to refine the ordinary five-grade pill, but now after seeing Murong Qianyan's performance, she changed her mind. Among the five-pin pills, there is one pill that is the most difficult to refine, and that is the five-pin Biluo pill.
The so-called upper and poor Biluo Huangquan, this Biluodan can pull back a person's life when they are about to die, and it can save a person's life for at least two days. Don't underestimate two days, two days is enough to save a person's life.
However, although the effect of this Biluo Pill is very large, it is not an easy thing to refine. Biluo Dan is one of the most difficult pills to refine among the five pills. It has high requirements for the alchemist's spiritual power, and as long as he is careless, it is easy to waste the pill.
Bai Zhen also knew that with his current level, refining this kind of elixir was a very reluctant thing. But in order to achieve victory, she could only choose this elixir.
After deciding what pill to refine, Bai Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to the matter on Murong Tianyan's side, she put all her attention into alchemy. The Biluo Pill she is refining now can't tolerate a little mistake.
On the other side, Murong Tianyan was also concentrating on refining her own elixir, and after taking out all the medicinal materials, she also released Xiaohong.
"Little Red."
After hearing Murong Qianyan's command, Xiaohong consciously threw her flame into the medicine tripod.
After Murong poured the flames into the medicine tripod, Murong poured a trace of the flame of the earth's heart into Xiaohong's beast fire, and the bright red flame had a trace of gold in it, and it also looked even more domineering.
However, when Murong Tianyan carefully threw a trace of the Earth's Heart Yan into the flames, the flames of everyone else around her were all extinguished at once.
The fire of the gods is out, and the fire is subdued. The domineering nature of the Divine Fire can be imagined, and now although she only released a trace of the flame of the Earth's Heart, it was enough to extinguish all the other flames around her.
For such a situation, Murong Qianyan had not expected it before. However, after discovering it, she immediately secretly suppressed all the domineering coercion of the Earth's Heart Yan.
However, even so, everyone still cast puzzled eyes on Murong Qianyan. Because people don't know what's going on. It's just that such an abnormal situation is obviously caused by Murong Qianyan. Among the surrounding flames, only the flames of Murong Tianyan were not extinguished.
Facing the eyes cast by everyone, Murong Qianyan thought as if he didn't know anything, and was still busy with the movements in his hands, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Looking at Murong Qianyan's frank appearance, everyone also began to wonder if what happened just now really had nothing to do with Murong Tianyan? Or is it just a coincidence?
Soon, the crowd lit a fire again. When they saw that the flames had not been extinguished again, everyone also withdrew their eyes and began to continue alchemy.
After all, no one had any evidence to prove that the extinguishing of the flame just now had something to do with Murong Qianyan. Moreover, they are still competing, and the first thing they have to do is to refine the elixir, not to stare at others here.
However, the people who noticed this abnormal situation were not only those who had extinguished their own flames, but also those on the rostrum. After noticing this situation, they all looked at Murong Qianyan thoughtfully, and then turned their heads and looked at Yuan Li.
Yuan Li is Murong Qianyan's master, if Murong Qianyan really has any killer features, then Yuan Li should know.
Yuan Li is not a fool, so he naturally noticed the gazes that others had placed on him. However, his face did not change, and he still looked at the people on the stage intently, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Yuan Li's appearance, everyone also knows that even if they ask, they are afraid that they will not be able to ask anything. So everyone had to withdraw their curious eyes and continue to watch the competition. However, for Murong Qianyan's side, everyone obviously paid more attention.
Murong Qianyan couldn't care about the eyes of others at this time, because she had already begun to purify the medicinal materials.
The purification of more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials is not an easy task, especially now that it is still a competition, and there is a time limit. This last competition is only four hours away, if there are too many medicinal materials and purify them, I am afraid that more than half of the time will pass.
However, this was not a problem at all for Murong Qianyan. She had already taken out all the more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials, and then threw the first medicinal material directly into the medicine pod and began to purify it. Soon, the first herb had been purified. Then, she immediately threw in the second herb.
At the beginning, Murong Qianyan still joined the same, and there was still a certain time interval between them. But as she got to the back, her speed became faster, almost as if she was producing on an assembly line. That kind of medicinal materials were directly thrown into the medicine pod.
Such a speed also surprised those who had been watching the competition. The people below began to talk about it.
"You say, why is this Murong tilting his face so fast! The speed of purifying medicinal materials is really unexpected! ”
"Although I am not an alchemist, I will also know that purifying medicinal materials is not an easy task! At such a speed, can you really purify those medicinal herbs? ”
"What kind of elixir is this Murong Tanyan going to refine! You see, she's used so many herbs. ”
Murong Tianyan didn't hear a word from the discussions of the people below, and at this time she was concentrating on refining those medicinal materials. Although to outsiders, it seems simple for her to do all this. But only she knew that she had to concentrate all her attention now, and there was no room for error.
On the rostrum, Wan Zushou looked at Murong Qianyan's performance, then turned his head and looked at Yuan Li, "Yuan Li, this Murong Qianyan is the apprentice you accepted!" ”
"That's right." After hearing Wan Zushou's words, Yuan Li nodded, with pride in his tone, "This girl has been studying alchemy with me for more than a year, and her talent is indeed very high. ”
Wan Zushou naturally heard the proud tone in Yuan Li's words, but he also nodded approvingly, "It can be seen that that girl is indeed very talented." Yuan Li, you are really a blessing! ”
All along, Yuan Li had no intention of accepting apprentices. He originally thought that there would be no successor after Yuan Lihui. But now it seems that Yuan Li's blessing is better than his!
"How many alchemists is this girl now?" Wan Zushou asked curiously, "I can't see how many grades of pills she wants to refine." ”
After hearing Wan Zushou's question, Yuan Li shook his head, "I can't see what kind of pill this girl wants to refine." As for the fact that she is now an alchemist of several grades, I don't know very well. This girl has been training outside for a while, and she has only recently returned. However, what I can tell you is that this girl was already a fourth-grade alchemist before leaving. ”
Yuan Li didn't have anything to hide, because these things couldn't be hidden. Especially now that Murong Tianyan is alchemizing above, I believe she will soon know how many alchemists she is.
After hearing Yuan Li's words, not only Wan Zushou, but everyone else also gasped. Four-grade alchemist? According to Yuan Li, it was only a little more than a year for Murong Tianyan to follow him to learn alchemy, and in such a short time, he became an alchemist of the fourth grade, what kind of talent is this!
You must know that in a year's time, if Murong Qianyan can become a second-grade alchemist, it will already make everyone fall through the glasses. Now Yuan Li told them that some time ago, Murong Qianyan was already an alchemist of the fourth grade. It's only a year, and Murong Qianyan can reach such a height, which is simply incredible. Ordinary people, if they want to advance from a first-grade alchemist to a fourth-grade alchemist, it is impossible to do so without five or six years. Especially the further you go, the more difficult it is to advance.
For a while, everyone's eyes looking at Yuan Li were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. How did such a highly talented person become Yuan Li's apprentice? Why don't they have such gifted students?
Especially this Murong Qianyan, not only has an extremely high talent in alchemy, but also in cultivation. They didn't forget that in the previous competition, Murong Qianyan had achieved a good result in second place, and moreover, Murong Tianyan was already a cultivator in the late Yuan Infant Stage at such a young age.
Among them, the deans of the other three colleges have even more complicated feelings. Because when they were in the entrance exam, they already knew that Murong Qianyan's talent was high. At that time, they also wanted to fight for it and receive Murong Tianyan under their door. It's a pity that in the end, Murong Tianyan chose Yuan Li.
Now seeing the strength displayed by Murong Qianyan, how can their hearts be calm? If they had received Murong Tianyan under their own disciples at the beginning, then they would be the ones who are so proud now.
"You're so blessed." Wan Zushou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"That apprentice of yours isn't bad!" Yuan Li looked at Bai Zhen, who was skillfully refining medicinal materials, and said, "At a young age, she is already an alchemist of the fifth grade, and she is afraid that she will go further than you in the future!" ”
"Bai Zhen is indeed very talented in alchemy, but it's a pity-" Wan Zushou shook his head, "I haven't seen her for a while, and I always feel that she seems to have changed a lot. I don't know exactly what happened. ”
"Nothing happened to her in the academy." After Yuan Li thought about it, he said, "Moreover, her popularity seems to be quite good." ”
For Bai Zhen, after all, he is a friend's apprentice, so in normal times, Yuan Li will still pay a little attention. But he didn't notice anything unusual. However, in this competition, after seeing Bai Zhen's methods, he felt that he seemed to underestimate this person.
Of course, it was impossible for him to say these words in front of his friends. However, he doesn't have a good impression of the girl Bai Zhen.
Wan Zushou shook his head and didn't say anything more. However, he also secretly made a decision in his heart.
On the other side, when half of the time had passed, Murong Qianyan had finally purified all the medicinal materials. Although her speed was very fast, she had too many medicinal materials to purify, so it took a lot of time. By the time she had purified the medicinal herbs, many people had already started alchemy.
In this regard, Murong Qianyan was not in a hurry, because she knew very well in her heart that the more anxious she was, the easier it was to make mistakes. After purifying all the medicinal herbs, she began to control her spiritual power and began to fuse those essences.
It is not an easy task for the essence of more than a hundred medicinal herbs to be fused together. Murong Qianyan's attention was highly concentrated, and soon, a little sweat appeared on her forehead. But she didn't have time to wipe it, and at this time her eyes were firmly fixed on the medicine pod, not daring to take a point away.
This step is the most difficult step, and in the medicine tripod, the essence of more than a hundred medicinal materials is constantly tumbling, wrapped in spiritual power, constantly fusing together, then repulsing, separating, and then fusing again. With the passage of time, gradually, the essence of various medicinal materials finally began to slowly fuse together.
When the essence of those medicinal herbs began to merge, Murong Tianyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to relax in any way.
Finally, as time passed, the essence of all the medicinal herbs finally fused together. Now there is only one last step left, and that is Cheng Dan.
At this time, more than half of the time has passed, and many people have already become Dan. Everyone put the elixir they had refined into the jade bottle, and then stayed where they were, waiting for time to pass.
In the end, in the center of the square, only Murong Qianyan and Bai Zhen were still refining the pill, and the others had already put Cheng Dan into the bottle. Everyone looked at Murong Qianyan and Bai Zhen, and they were very curious about the elixir that the two of them had refined.
"Boom-" sounded, and everyone looked over, it turned out to be Bai Zhen, and she had also successfully refined.
Bai Zhen opened his medicine pod and found two mellow pills lying quietly inside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smug smile. She finally succeeded in refining Biluodan.
Although she is a fifth-grade alchemist, the time for her to enter the level of a fifth-grade alchemist is still very short. Although she had been able to successfully refine a five-grade elixir, she had never tried to refine an elixir like Biluo Dan. At the beginning, although she had already decided to refine Biluo Dan, she still had no bottom in her heart, and she was not sure if she would succeed.
If she fails, then she will never have a second chance. What she didn't expect was that she succeeded in the first attempt. Now that she had finally refined Biluodan, she was almost certain that she would be the winner in this competition.
Bai Zhen, who was in a good mood, subconsciously looked in the direction of Murong Qianyan after putting away his elixir.
When she saw that Murong Qianyan had not yet become a Dan, she couldn't help frowning. Because she really couldn't see through what kind of elixir Murong was refining. And the time is coming soon, Murong Qianyan has not yet become a pill, is the level of the pill she wants to refine very high?
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Zhen immediately denied the possibility. She was sure that her Biluo Pill must be the highest-grade pill in it. No matter what kind of pill Murong Tianyan refines, he will definitely not be able to win against her.
Moreover, now that Murong Qianyan has not yet become a Dan, he doesn't know if he can complete the refining within the specified time. If Murong couldn't finish it, it would be even better.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhen secretly prayed in his heart that it would be best for Murong Qianyan to finish refining it after the time was up. If that's really the case, then Murong Tianyan will definitely lose no matter what kind of elixir he refines. Moreover, in the future, Murong is afraid that he will not have the face to come out to meet people.
It's a pity that the heavens don't seem to hear Bai Zhen's prayers. At the last moment, there was finally a sound of "boom" from Murong Qianyan's side. Everyone knows what's going on, which means that Murong Qianyan has become a Dan.
However, what kind of elixir Murong Tianyan was refining, everyone couldn't see. Because Murong Tianyan did not take out the elixir, but directly put it into the bottle.
"It's time!" Yu Aotian opened his mouth and announced, "Now everyone stops what they are doing, and then listen to my name, bring up their own pills, and the judges we have selected will judge the grade of the pills." ”
Everyone held the bottles in their hands and waited for Yu Aotian's roll call.
"The first, Zhu Wentian of Suzaku Academy."
With Yu Aotian's roll call, a man took his pill and handed it over to several judges.
After some inspection by the judges, one of the representatives got up and said, "This is the three-grade Zhuji Dan, which is a top-grade pill, a total of five. ”
Zhu Wentian had no objection to such a judgment, and after taking back his elixir, he returned to his seat and sat down again. His expression was calm, and it was clear that he didn't really care about winning or losing.
Perhaps he knew he couldn't win. However, he was not discouraged by this. To be able to enter the last competition, he felt that it was enough.
As one individual stepped forward to hand over his own elixir, the judges also judged one by one. However, these are only the third-grade and fourth-grade pills, and there have never been five-grade pills.
This is not surprising to everyone. Because there is an age limit for such a competition, in this age group, it is already very good to be able to become a four-grade alchemist.
"The eighth, the white basket of the Blue Dragon Academy."
After hearing his name, Bai Zhen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and came to several judges generously and handed over the elixir he had refined. Then he quietly waited for the judges' judgment.
