Chapter 478: Murder in the Dark
Refining a sixth-level elixir in one hour?
Shen Zhiyou raised her eyebrows, unable to figure out what the intention of the man sitting on the throne made this request.
After all, for those of them who were still fluttering in the shallow waters of the alchemy realm, it was too difficult to refine a sixth-level elixir within an hour.
At least, in the previous entrance exams, there had not been a single case where a newcomer had successfully refined a sixth-level elixir.
Shen Zhiyou had also not tried to refine the sixth-level elixir, because, in this entrance exam, her original intention was to pursue the word "stability" to ensure that she could safely become an official student of the Danxiu Academy, rather than seeking her own breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, this man's words forced all the candidates to a fork in the road.
Especially those candidates who pursue high scores are faced with a huge choice -
Should I continue to refine my low-level elixir to ensure that I can get the score I deserve, or should I try my best to win the favor of the man on the main throne?
Shen Zhiyou only thought about it for a moment, and then made a decision.
Although she pursued stability, she was never afraid of challenges, and with the score of the fifth-level high-grade rare elixir she had just made, she could almost enter the Danxiu Academy nine times out of ten.
In that case, why doesn't she try to break through herself?
Shen Zhiyou roughly estimated his current alchemy level, and he should have a fifty percent certainty that he would be able to refine a sixth-level elixir, and if it was required to refine a sixth-level elixir within an hour, this certainty would be reduced to thirty percent.
Although he is only thirty percent sure, it is enough for Shen Zhiyou.
The man's words made many of the candidates present want to move, however, when they saw that Qiao Xuewei and Shen Zhiyou had already started refining the sixth-level elixir, they also stopped thinking about it.
They haven't even been able to refine the fifth-level elixir, so they won't join in the fun, lest the sixth-level elixir not be refined when they get it, and the points they should get will be lost.
So, in the next hour, the first place in the third round of the exam became a two-person battle and competition between Shen Zhiyou and Qiao Xuewei, and it depends on this time who wins or loses.
Shen Zhiyou stuffed the spirit grass she needed into the furnace, then put her hand on the furnace and closed her eyes again.
The spirit grass needed to refine the sixth-level elixir was much more than the spirit grass needed to be used for the fifth-level elixir, and the procedures and steps to deal with it were also much more complicated, which was one of the reasons why the sixth-level elixir would be so difficult to refine in a short period of time.
The refining time is only one hour, and the time is very urgent, if Shen Zhiyou wants to speed up, she can save the previous steps of refining the spirit grass and jump directly into the alchemy stage.
However, the step of refining the spirit grass has almost penetrated into Shen Zhiyou's bone marrow, and for her, no matter how tight the time is, the steps cannot be saved.
So, in order to speed up the alchemy process, Shen Zhiyou used his spiritual power to the extreme!
Countless strands of spiritual power stretched into the furnace like tentacles, and under Shen Zhiyou's strong control power, they were finely divided into several trickles, washing over the branches and veins of each spirit grass.
The washing step that would have taken two sticks of incense to complete, Shen Zhiyou turned it into one stick of incense!
Once the spirit grass has been washed, it is time to extract their useful ingredients.
Shen Zhiyou once again used his spiritual power to the extreme, and processed all the spirit grasses at the same time - you must know that the active ingredients of each spirit grass are different, if you want to deal with them at the same time, Shen Zhiyou must clearly remember what the active ingredients of each spirit grass are, and when controlling the spiritual power, there is no room for mistakes.
Otherwise, all the work done will be wasted.
After completing these two steps, Shen Zhiyou's face was already a little pale.
Even if her mental power is vast, it is still very difficult to deal with so many things at the same time.
But she didn't have time to stop and recover her mental strength properly, she adjusted her breathing, and after taking a few deep breaths, she began the third step, condensing.
Due to the existence of the first two steps, Shen Zhiyou's process of condensing the elixir became extremely smooth, as long as her refining process did not make mistakes, the success rate of this sixth-level elixir would reach one hundred percent!
At this time, nearly half an hour has passed, and it is not far from the end of the exam.
Some candidates stopped and couldn't help but look at Shen Zhiyou and Qiao Xuewei.
In their eyes, whether it was Shen Zhiyou or Qiao Xuewei, the expressions on their faces were not relaxed.
However, compared with Qiao Xuewei's pursed lips and grim face, Shen Zhiyou's pale face seemed to indicate that she was in even worse shape.
"Heh, I'll just say, how can that female cultivator called 'Moyou' be comparable to Qiao Xuewei? Look, now that Mo Yu is almost unable to hold on, right? ”
"That's it, I admit that she still has a little talent, otherwise she wouldn't have refined the five-grade elixir, but that's all, if you want to get the first place, you still have to rely on strength, and luck alone can't do it. ”
"There is no doubt that the one who won the first place this time must be Xue Wei. ”
They strengthened their determination to stand on Qiao Xuewei's side.
However, just as they once again deepened their prejudice against Shen Zhiyou, they only heard a "bang", and a few wisps of black smoke came out of the furnace in front of Qiao Xuewei.
Qiao Xuewei, it's frying!
These discussions suddenly stopped in amazement.
Qiao Xuewei opened her eyes with a pale face, and looked at the furnace in front of her unwillingly!
The sixth-level elixir was still difficult for her.
When she was usually practicing, she hadn't refined a sixth-level elixir, but the one she was in the best state took six full hours to refine a sixth-level lower-grade elixir.
Therefore, this time, in order to refine the sixth-level elixir within one hour, she can be said to have done her best, but as a result, because of her impetuous mentality, she not only failed to refine the sixth-level elixir, but also caused the fryer!
Since she was six years old for alchemy, she has only fried the pot a handful of times, and after the age of eight, she has never fried the pot again.
This fryer is undoubtedly like a big slap in the face!
Qiao Xuewei bit her lower lip, and her eyes turned red.
"Xuewei, don't worry, you can't succeed, and others can't succeed either. ”
Qiao Xuewei's followers secretly comforted her.
"Where's Moyu?
Qiao Xuewei's first reaction was to find Shen Zhiyou's figure.
She failed, so naturally she didn't want to see Shen Zhiyou succeed!
However, to her disappointment, Shen Zhiyou was still refining, although her face was pale, she was still gritting her teeth.
Qiao Xuewei's followers continued to comfort: "Xuewei, don't worry, you see that her face is so bad, she shouldn't be able to last long, let's wait quietly for her to fail." ”
Qiao Xuewei nodded, and a dark look crossed her eyes.
It's a pity that Shen Zhiyou's appearance seems to be here to hit Qiao Xuewei, time passed bit by bit, Shen Zhiyou's face became worse and worse, but the aura that belonged to the elixir in the furnace began to slowly escape.
Can she really succeed?!
Qiao Xuewei's breath stagnated, and her fists clenched suddenly!
Seeing this, the admirers around her suddenly made a decision-
In any case, he can't make the person he likes sad!
So, he quietly flipped it with one hand, and a stone appeared in his palm.
Immediately, he flicked his fingers!
"Whoosh!"
This stone flew towards Shen Zhiyou's arm at an extremely fast speed!
