Although there are only five medicine boxes, these medicine boxes are very large, and they are all covered with openings, so you can reach them by sticking into them without having to wait. And most alchemists try the same thing, not all the flavors before they start writing.

No one would think that the medicinal materials in this medicine box are all ordinary medicinal materials, if they are too ordinary, what else will they assess? They must all have not been tried, or they are relatively partial medicinal materials, and they have tasted them all at once, and I am afraid that they will not be able to distinguish them. You can only taste everything slowly, although there is not much time, but it is enough.

After a while, all the contestants got a medicinal herb and began to taste it. After a while, there was a sound of exclamation.

"This, what is this, so spicy, I haven't eaten it before......"

"Damn, I'm so miserable, I don't seem to have any impression......"

"I don't think I've ever eaten this, isn't that too biased?"

"If you've eaten them all, you'll have to try a fart!"

"The executive didn't say it, and he didn't want you to name it, as long as you said the medicinal properties!"

"If you can't eat it, get out, what is the noise!"

......

After tasting a taste of medicinal herbs, they began to cry and call their mothers, they were too biased about this medicinal material, and they all wondered if they had tried those high-grade spirit herbs for them. The sound became more and more noisy, and Xuanlong Square was almost overturned.

"Quiet!"

Zhao Tianlong shouted, and everyone quickly quieted down before saying: "Don't talk to each other, don't make noise, and don't look around, if you do this again, the offender will be kicked out of the game!"

Everyone immediately quieted down, if they were kicked out of the game, they would be embarrassed and die, and they would rather lose in this game than be kicked out!

There are overseers standing all around, and if they violate it again, they will be thrown straight into the arena. If anyone is so confident that they won't be discovered, keep cheating!

After calming down, everyone had different expressions, some full of confidence, some extremely annoyed. I didn't expect that so many people were stumped at the first level.

Qu Ping's eyes lit up, this competition is as simple as drinking water for himself! It is completely tailor-made for himself, isn't it the analysis of medicinal materials?

He reached into the wooden box, and pulled out a leaf the size of his little finger, but it was incomplete. He quickly sensed it, trying to analyze what it was.

After a moment, his eyes widened, and he didn't even analyze what it was! Could it be that this thing was beyond his reach?

Qu Ping frowned, threw this thing directly into his mouth, and just chewed it twice in his mouth, a strange expression poured out of his face.

"Damn, isn't this a chili leaf?"

In previous lives, this pepper leaf was not only edible, but also medicinal. But in this world, it is completely inapplicable, everyone is mainly cultivated, there are basically no medicinal herb shops to speak of, and there are no doctors. The alchemist is also a doctor, and the treatment relies on pills, as well as spiritual power!

It can be said that this pepper leaf is not a medicinal herb at all in this world!

Qu Ping's eyes flashed, and he continued to move towards the next wooden box, and continued to try another medicinal herb.

"I wonder if they can taste it?" Zhao Tianlong set his eyes on Zhao Qian and them, but all he could see was frowning, thinking about what this medicinal herb was.

"President Hu, President Zhao, the competition you came up with is too tricky, those are not medicinal materials!" Long Feiyun, who was a Yellow Sand Sect, couldn't help but ask when he saw so many things that couldn't be tried, and even Liu Yunlong of the Great Yellow Sand Sect frowned slightly, which showed that this thing was really tricky.

It's not tricky, as an alchemist, who will keep trying those dishes? There are many alchemists who can't even distinguish between oil and salt, as a high-ranking alchemist, how can they cook with you?

Hu Tian snorted coldly: "As an alchemist, I can't even judge this, how can I be called an alchemist?"

Zhao Tianlong threw down a sentence and said, "You have added it, why can't I add it?"

Hu Tian snorted coldly and didn't talk to Zhao Tianlong, Zhao Tianlong also snorted coldly, and didn't plan to continue talking to Hu Tian.

Many referees showed a wry smile, Wanyaolou and Qianshulou are really incompatible! However, this kind of requirement is naturally reviewed by all the judges, if it is decided at will, maybe the customized ones are all known to their own disciples.

"Anyway, it's a matter of tasting whether it has medicinal properties, and if it doesn't have medicinal properties, just write it directly, and you don't need a name. Hu Tian smiled faintly, and seemed to be very confident.

During their conversation, they basically tasted all the medicinal herbs, and some of them had already begun to write down the medicinal properties they felt.

Qu Ping smacked his lips, and he also tasted all five kinds of medicinal materials, two of which were not medicinal materials, but ingredients. The same is a pepper leaf, the same is a celery leaf, which makes him feel speechless. However, both of these are specially treated, and if you are not very familiar, it will be difficult to taste for a while.

This can be seen from the expressions of the two major Danwang disciples, Liu Yunlong and Lu Ziyun, both of whom are frowning, and they are constantly thinking about what these two things are!

The other three things, Qu Ping also analyzed them one by one, namely: Evoking Heart Grass, Ye Linghua and Wood Canopy Grass, which were easily analyzed, without any pressure, they were all spiritual grasses belonging to the three grades. It's also been processed, some of the flavors are masked, and some other flavors are mixed in, but it's all stress-free.

If he didn't have this ability to identify medicinal herbs and only be able to taste the medicinal properties in them, he might lose directly here, and he could only taste two of them. After all, he didn't know the basic skills of alchemy at all, and he had tried very few medicinal materials! He was not very familiar with this aspect, but he only knew a little bit about this information.

Although he has made up a lot of knowledge during the time he has been in the Wanyao Building, he has always been half a bucket of water. Especially this time, the preparations are relatively biased, and it is difficult for him to identify, and there is no big problem with normal medicinal materials.

In his previous life, he was a food maniac, and now Lingcao and others are ingredients to him, so naturally he will continue to go crazy.

After he finished filling it out, he found that the people around him were still thinking about it, and they continued to taste those medicinal herbs. There is no rule that you can only eat once, and you can eat it several times.

However, many people have already started to write, and more are still confused. This level alone will be able to sift out a lot of people.

Many alchemists on the stage frowned, and many people in the audience were worried about the people above.

Qu Yuxin stared at Qu Ping closely, and when she found Qu Ping's comfortable face, she didn't know whether it was really no difficulty, or pretending that there was no difficulty?

Throughout the audience, the two Danwang disciples hesitated again and again, and finally wrote down their feelings on paper. At this time, it was already halfway through, and most of them wanted to write, but they didn't dare to write, which really made people sweat.

The reward is very tempting, but you can't even pass the first level, and you can't get it no matter how tempting you are.

"Look! the big disciple has already submitted!"

"Lu Ziyun, the disciple of the Dan King of the Thousand Floors, also submitted!"

"Hey, who's the third submitter? Why haven't you seen it? Where is it?"

The third one to turn in was naturally Qu Ping, he felt that if he was the first to hand in, it would feel too conspicuous, so he planned to go up later. Now it seems that it is still a little too early.

His reason for doing this was very simple, Qu Ping didn't want a group of people to stare at him in the next level. Now after all, I can't think it through myself.

Everyone's eyes focused on Qu Ping, discussing what his identity was. was able to turn in the third, was it filled in randomly, or was it to attract attention?

Zhu Ling and Zhao Qian of the competition both looked at him, neither of them expected Qu Ping to be able to turn in so quickly, but the latter showed a smile of relief, can the disciples of the three major Dan Kings be unhappy? It's just that no one knows Qu Ping.

Immediately afterwards, these daughters of Tianjiao also quickly turned in, and basically filled in their feelings.

"Stop!"

When there were still many alchemists who were worried, Zhao Tianlong's voice had already shouted, and the alchemists, who were hesitating how to fill it out, suddenly raised their heads and found that the hourglass in the center of Xuanlong Square had run out, and what they didn't turn in meant that the first level of the game had not passed!

"It's time! I've just filled out two things...... How could it be ......"

"Bastard, I've just filled in three things, and I can't think of two more!"

"Why is time so fast......

Many voices of disbelief came, all full of despair, all thinking that they would be able to pass the first hurdle easily. But the truth is cruel, and it was screened out before the first level.

Fortunately, they didn't make a fuss, there was so much time, and many people also turned it in, and those who didn't turn it in could only say that they had no ability.

Those who turned in were also uneasy, and no one knew whether they were right or wrong, and some of them were even blindfolded.

The alchemists who didn't turn in all stepped down one after another, and there were only about 500 people standing on it, and half of them were brushed down in the first level alone. The level of many alchemists is that the first level has been blocked outside, and their strength can be imagined.

The content of the submission is reviewed by the referee, because there are many referees, they all know the correct answer in their hearts, just look at it and immediately distinguish it, and the time will not be long. But the people below were already looking at the referee anxiously, wanting to know their results quickly.

"This person was all recognized, all of them were correct, and all of them were written out by name...... His name is Qu Ping!"

Long Feiyun, who participated in the judging, looked at the words on it in astonishment, and found that all of them were correct, and even the names were marked, but he had never heard of the names at all!

"Qu Ping!" Zhao Tianlong was surprised, even if he was relieved, this result was not unexpected.

"Hey, the eldest disciple wrote it all, but the two ingredients didn't write it out......"

"Lu Ziyun too, except for those two things that were not written, everything else was written......"

Flipping through the papers handed in by many alchemists, I found that there were very few chili leaves and celery, but filling in these two items did not mean that the other three items were filled in all of them.

In other words, Qu Ping is the only one who can really fill it all out!

Soon, it was all over the pages. Zhao Tianlong stood up and announced: "After our inspection, there are a total of five hundred and thirty-seven here, and the condition for passing the first level is to answer four things correctly, which means that you can only make one mistake." Now it seems that only 370 people have been able to pass, and the list of those who have passed is now beginning to be read. ”

As soon as the results came out, everyone was in an uproar. Of the more than 1,000 alchemists, only 370 have passed now!

"There are only three people who answered correctly: Qu Ping, Liu Yunlong and Lu Ziyun, and Zhao Qian ...... answered four correctly"

One by one, the names spit out from Zhao Tianlong's mouth, and all the hearts were raised to their throats, and when they heard their names, they all cheered. When all the names were read, the faces of those who were not read were pale, and they were finally defeated.

"I'm sure everyone is wondering what this answer is, so I'm announcing it to you here. They are pepper leaves, celery leaves, heart-calling grass, leaf rhombus and wood-crowned grass! Among them, pepper leaves and celery leaves are not medicinal materials, as long as they are filled with no medicinal effect, they can be passed. ”

As soon as this answer came out, some of the alchemists who had stepped down immediately burst into a rage and became angry.

"What are you doing, two of them are not medicinal materials at all, what are you doing if they are not medicinal materials!"

"That's it, didn't the executive explain that it was a medicinal herb, why are neither of them medicinal herbs now?"

"Really, really pepper leaves and celery, I, I tasted it...... But I'm not sure, I thought it was a medicinal herb......"

“......”

Many people were really angry, put two things that were not medicinal herbs into it, and said that they were medicinal herbs, isn't this a lie?

"Quiet!" Hu Tian stood up, glanced at the group of dissatisfied alchemists with sharp eyes, and his voice immediately stopped abruptly, "Do you believe everything the executive says? If I say that all the ones inside are seven-grade spirit grass, do you believe it or not! The alchemist has no judgment of his own, so what kind of alchemist is it? Now I don't want you to write your name, you only need to write the medicinal properties, since there are no medicinal properties, you can write no, if you can't write it, you don't have the ability! Aren't there still three hundred and seventy people who have passed, they can pass, why don't you pass?"

Hu Tian completely erupted, leaving the group of people speechless for a moment. It's true that those two ingredients disturb them, but in fact, there are a lot of things that can't fill in the other three, and in the final analysis, it's their ability to do it!

"Among them, Qu Ping is the only one who answered all the answers correctly and wrote out his name!" Hu Tian also added here, "For this level, we judged him to be a full score of ten points, Liu Yunlong and Lu Ziyun were only eight points, and the rest were judged according to how much they were recognized!"

"Qu Ping!?"

Many eyes gathered on him here, surprise, shock and other eyes all gathered on him, but he didn't expect that Liu Yunlong and Lu Ziyun, the two major Danwang disciples, couldn't judge it, but instead all the answers that were unknown came out, and even the names were written!

Liu Yunlong and Lu Ziyun were also a little surprised, they had never seen this person, but they were able to answer all of them correctly, and they really belonged to a dark horse. But the surprise also faded away, and it was only the first level, warming up.

Qu Ping frowned, but he didn't regret his move. He had read the rules before, and this alchemy competition was calculated according to scores, so it would be fair. In order to win the championship, he has to do it perfectly, and if he loses a few points in the back, it will be a failure.

He wanted first place, not second place! If Moonshine Flower was in second place, he wouldn't have worked so hard. He doesn't have absolute confidence that he will win the championship, so he has to do his best every step of the way.

"He, can he really refine the Dan? Even those two Dan King apprentices couldn't judge, and they were all answered by him!"

Qu Yuxin covered her mouth in surprise, and her senior sister Zhu Ling also barely passed. Thousands of alchemists, Qu Ping is the only one who can answer correctly! Even if he doesn't pass later, it's worth it.

Since there were already quite a few failures, the entire high platform was already quite empty, not as dense as before. On the referee's side, there was also a lot of conversation.

"This Qu Ping belongs to Wanyaolou, I didn't expect President Zhao to have a back hand. The thousand-story President Hu Tian's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't have much surprise, it would be strange if he didn't have a backhand.

Zhao Tianlong just replied lightly: "President Hu is not the same, suddenly sent a disciple of King Dan, if we don't have a backhand, wouldn't you have won the first place in this competition?"

Qu Ping was able to join Wanyaolou, all of this was due to luck, where was their backhand. But in front of the opponent, how can it be weak?

"I think I'm a step late, and I've missed a lot of wonderful things!"

Cheng Zhangyun appeared in front of everyone, and sat down in the VIP position, still so imposing.

All the referees saluted Zhang Yun one after another, and Zhao Tianlong smiled: "It's not late, it's not late, it's just starting now, and the next ones will be more exciting!"

Zhao Tianlong is right, it's just the beginning, and more exciting is yet to come!

After a while, the venue was ready, and what appeared in front of everyone was a number of Ding furnaces, and they all guessed that this level was alchemy?

But if you can't even overcome this, you can't become a good alchemist.

"Everyone has seen the Ding Furnace in front of them, and this time the content is alchemy, refining the fusion pill!" Zhao Tianlong said simply.

Refining the Fusion Pill! The Fusion Pill is a second-grade pill, and it is not difficult to say, nor is it easy to say. The difficulty is that it is difficult to fuse the two spiritual liquids to form the elixir, but most people can successfully refine it, but there is a difference in quality.

But refining this fusion pill, isn't it too simple? The first level is so difficult, and the second level is easier for the sake of a small number of people? This kind of stupid question, you can only think about it, seeing Zhao Tianlong's expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling, it feels extremely insidious.

"However, the fusion pill that everyone refines is a semi-finished product!"

Zhao Tianlong motioned to the alchemist standing on the edge of the Ding Furnace to open a Ding Furnace, and everyone immediately saw that it was full of spiritual liquid, which seemed to have exceeded the amount of normal refining and fusion pill spiritual liquid, and his eyes were thin enough to be able to see that there was a black elixir inside!

"Everyone has seen the elixir inside, this is the half-finished fusion pill, and the surrounding is the mystical flower liquid for refining the fusion pill, the quantity has exceeded one spiritual liquid for refining the fusion pill, and the half-finished fusion pill has been fully refined halfway, what you need to do is to control the flame, let this misty flower liquid gradually integrate into this fusion pill, until this elixir is truly completed!"

When the content of this level was completely said, everyone was stunned, and then began to complain about the difficulty of this level.

It is not difficult to refine the fusion pill, but what Zhao Tianlong asked for is much more difficult! As we all know, refining the fusion pill requires two kinds of spiritual liquids, and the semi-finished fusion pill is actually refining one of the spiritual liquids, and the remaining half is the misty flower liquid in the Ding furnace.

What the contestants need to do is to let this Fusion Liquid gradually fuse with the semi-finished Fusion Pill, which is equivalent to filling it! There are so many spiritual liquids in the Ding Furnace, naturally it is impossible to have the weight of a Fusion Pill, at least there are several parts.

If there is too much fusion, this fusion pill will fail, and less fusion may also lead to failure, or the quality is too low. Only when the perfect balance is reached, is the true fusion pill!

In other words, this test is to see everyone's ability to control fire, as well as the ability to judge! Fire control is to let the fusion pill gradually merge with the spiritual liquid, if the flame burns in the transition, it will absorb too much and cause failure. Only by maintaining a certain temperature can this fusion pill be perfectly fused.

Originally, it was not difficult to refine the Fusion Pill, but it became quite difficult to absorb it unilaterally.

"I believe everyone has guessed, this test is your fire control ability, a qualified alchemist must have a good fire control ability, if you can't even control the flames, how can you talk about the next level?

The alchemist's face was a little bitter, he only had two chances, and if he failed, he would be withdrawn! The previous alchemy competitions were all normal alchemy, but this one has completely changed, the first two levels are to test the basic skills, but this kind of basic skills is too difficult.

Those who have a painful expression on this level are all poor in their own fire control level. Most of the real materials are indifferent. Especially the two disciples of King Dan, with a confident face, felt that this was not difficult for them at all!

Everyone's eyes also fell on Qu Ping's black horse, and they also saw a sad face, as if they had no confidence. Let many people feel that Qu Ping was lucky before, and wrote it to Meng Zhong casually?

Qu Ping didn't care about the eyes of others, this question is extremely strict with fire control, and to be honest, his fire control level is not very high. Below the control of the Fire Spirit Heart, he has not yet reached that level of detail, if he does not control it a little, he will fail.

Failure means exiting, no matter how many points you get in front of you, if you fail, you have to quit! That is to say, if you want to advance to the next level, you must score at least one point, if you can't even get one point, no matter whether you have 100 points in front of you or 1,000 points, just exit!

As an alchemist, no matter which link is important, if there is one level that is not enough, how can you be a real alchemist?

However, Qu Ping is not an alchemist, just a chef who has just been able to control the flame for a short time! The flame used for stir-frying is also quite strict, but it is not as meticulous as alchemy. It's like adding too much salt, which can be compensated for by other methods, but refining the pill is different, and absorbing too much...... It's just a failure.

"Now the game begins! The score is calculated by time and the quality of the elixir!"

Under Zhao Tianlong's order, the hourglass that had been reversed once flipped over again, which meant that the second level had officially begun!
