Chapter 115: The First Round
The way of alchemy, the speed of alchemy, and the proficiency of the technique are all the keys to testing the alchemy level of an alchemy master.
In the first round of extracting the medicinal liquid, although it was won by speed, it was not only the speed that was tested, but also the mentality of a Dan Master.
There is only one copy of the Aoki vine per person, and if the mentality is unstable and the pursuit of speed is blind, it is very likely that the medicinal materials will be ruined.
In these ten days of alchemy, Ye Lingyu learned a lot of common knowledge related to alchemy from Shi Die, and his cognition of medicinal materials has also greatly improved.
He had heard this Aoki vine mention it to Shidie. Aoki vine is a parasitic vine on the three-yuan green tree. The most important feature of this kind of thing is that it is extremely sensitive to flames. In order to refine the liquid of Aoki vine, the most important thing is to control the temperature of the flame, and any slight temperature change may destroy it.
Ordinary alchemists refine related pills, and they try to find other materials to replace them, and few people will choose to challenge Aoki Vine.
Situ gave up this hand, and at the end of the game, it was still a question of whether there were nearly forty alchemists in this battle or whether there were twenty-five left.
While Ye Lingyu was thinking about it, the people around him had already begun to move.
They took out their own Dan furnace one after another, placed the Aoki vine in the Dan furnace, and controlled the flame with the palm of their hands to heat it.
The various Dan furnaces and flames dazzled Ye Lingyu's eyes. It was the first time he had seen so many alchemists on the same stage.
Eyes slightly to the side, found that Shi Die had also begun to move, there was a very ordinary two-pin Dan furnace in front of her, and the emerald green flame in her hand was burning.
The medicinal liquid of quenching Aoki vine should not be able to use the Dan furnace at the level of Shi Die, but she probably didn't want to attract attention, so she specially took a two-grade Dan furnace to pretend.
Feeling Ye Lingyu's gaze, she looked back slightly, and her two eyes bent into crescents.
Ye Lingyu coughed lightly, retracted his gaze, turned his hand and took out Ziyun Ding, and began to refine the medicinal liquid as everyone else.
He was already good at manipulating spiritual power, so it was naturally not a problem to control the temperature of the flames.
The black fire in his hand became more and more violent, and the temperature in the Dan furnace also rose rapidly. Visible to the naked eye, the green vine gradually changed from cyan to crimson.
When the color of the aoki vine completely changed, Ye Lingyu stopped continuing to heat up, but controlled the temperature at the current level.
He is good at manipulating spiritual power here, and he is also good at heating Aoki vine, but others are not necessarily. When he maintained the temperature here, there was a sudden "bang" sound not far away.
Ye Lingyu turned his head to look and found that a black smoke was slowly rising from a certain Dan furnace in that direction. And the alchemist in front of the Nadan furnace was stunned, and his hands were still maintaining the posture of refining.
"This ...... How is this possible. The man muttered to himself, staring at the furnace for a long time.
Ye Lingyu vaguely remembered that person, it should be a two-grade alchemist, and he had taken the initiative to toast Ye Lingyu during the banquet before.
"It's rubbish. Crazy Baixiong drank coldly beside him, "Refining a green wood vine will fail, you Dan masters are really dry." ”
"Crazy Baixiong, shut up! Don't interfere with other people's alchemy. Situ Rang reminded in a low voice beside him.
In alchemy, everyone has the possibility of making mistakes, no one is perfect, and everyone will have a time to fail.
Na Dan Shi failed to refine, and he also knew that he had lost his qualifications, so he withdrew from the venue in disagreement. The people around him persuaded him for a while, and it made his face a little better.
I don't know if it's because of the influence of the first person, after half a cup of tea, a burst of black smoke also rose from the stove of the other Danshi, and the Danshi's face was blackened.
However, the mentality of the second Dan Master was much better than that of the first Dan Master, and after the failure, he was embarrassed for a while, and then he just smiled freely and calmly retreated to the side of the stands.
The difficulty of refining the Aoki vine is indeed not low, and in Ye Lingyu's feeling, refining the medicinal liquid of this thing is already equivalent to refining a high-difficulty two-grade pill.
Among the Danshi present, the Danshi of the third grade still seemed to be at ease, but most of the Danshi of the second grade were worried, and many of them were sweating on their temples.
Ye Lingyu looked at the crazy Baixiong and found that the guy was actually looking at him with a cruel smile on his face. The eyes of the two met in the air, as if two supreme swordsmen were meeting in a narrow way, and the atmosphere of slaughter had invisibly enveloped the two.
When the mad Baixiong looked at him, he didn't forget to free one hand, gently wiped it on his neck, and made a provocative movement.
Ye Lingyu also had a tame smile, which was neither happy nor sad, neither provoking nor praising it. It seems that he is simply curling the corners of his mouth and making a smiling gesture, without any emotion. It makes people feel that it is the Buddha who is influencing the world, and the Buddha is high up, not shaken by the filth and sin in front of him, and maybe the next moment he will say "Amitabha" or "good, good, good".
The reason why he laughed was simply too lazy to deal with the guy. If the other party's action angers him, it just proves that his heart is not calm enough.
He continued to heat the Aoki vine here, and his heart was as calm as water, but there were Dan masters who failed one after another next to him.
The extraction of the Aoki rattan liquid takes a long time, and to maintain the temperature of the medicine pod for a long time, it requires not only the ability to control the temperature, but also the alchemist's heart to be calm. This is a test of one's patience and one's determination.
The people around couldn't help but admire when they saw these masters refining pills like this.
"The master deserves to be a master, this kind of thing, if you change someone else, you really can't do it. ”
"That's a good thing, just because the masters have been motionless for so long, and I can't learn this alone. ”
"Nonsense, of course you can't learn, you just sit normally, and your hand keeps twitching, as if you're sick, and you can learn it before you see the hell. ”
"Hey, surnamed Wang, you still say me, you are not much better than me...... Don't shake your legs, I'll tell you...... You shake again, shake again, believe it or not, I'll see it for you. ”
There was a lot of heat in the middle of the field, and the edges of the field weren't much better. As the so-called insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the excitement, most of the onlookers are the heads of some families, who don't know alchemy at all, and they can't see the situation in Taichung.
Instead, Situ Rang bowed his hand to the eliminated Dan masters: "A few masters, otherwise you can tell us all about the situation in this situation." ”
Several masters are all eliminated people, how can they have the face to comment on others. I wanted to refuse politely, but I saw that no one present really understood Dan, so I could only accept it.
"Everyone, please see, this refining Aoki rattan mainly focuses on the control of the heat, and among these masters present, the best control of the fire is undoubtedly a few masters of the three grades. The flame is like a candle in a secret room, without a trace of waves, which requires a strong ability to control the fire. ”
Hearing his explanation, everyone went to look again, and sure enough, it was just as the Dan Master said.
"Then who is the most powerful among these masters of the three grades?" someone asked.
"Uh...... If you want to say who is powerful, you can't see it now, and what you can see now is only the heart of the Dan masters. The temperament of the Sanpin Dan Master is obviously higher than others, and if you want to say that it is special, Xuan Lao is the best among them. ”
When everyone heard Xuan Lao's name, they were all in awe. The name "Old Man Xuandan" is well-known in Sai'an City, and everyone is convinced to be able to be evaluated like this.
"And who else?" someone asked again.
The Dan Master hesitated for a while, and said with some reluctance: "Although I don't want to admit it, the alchemy strength of that crazy hundred heroes is genuine." is worthy of being a four-grade Dan master, in terms of technique, I am afraid it will be above Xuan Lao. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were half cold.
Crazy Baixiong's alchemy strength is good, but he is a bandit after all. If you really let this kind of person win the leader, then everyone's face will feel gloomy.
But then again, Mad Baixiong is a four-rank Dan master, and for this alone, there is no one who can match him in Sai'an City.
"Isn't there anyone who can compete with the mad hundred?"
"Not really. That Dan Master turned his gaze to the other side and pointed with his finger, "That Master Ye is not from our Sai'an City, but his alchemy level is superb. Some time ago, he was the one who won the Crazy Hundred Heroes. ”
"It's the master who spread the word, good fellow, if it's him, maybe he can help us get back face." ”
Ye Lingyu's reputation has long spread, and most people have heard of his deeds, but they have never seen others.
If he is really as powerful as rumored, maybe he can really beat the mad Baixiong.
"Master Ye should say that it is the same as the rumors, just looking at his current concentration, it is far beyond our reach. To have such an accomplishment at his age is a shame for those of us who have been defeated. ”
The surrounding Dan masters all nodded in acknowledgement. People are still on the field, and they are out, this is the most intuitive manifestation of the gap. Even if they don't want to admit it, they can't hide it.
With these Dan Master's comments, the people around him also vaguely touched some doorways: "In addition to Master Ye, there are any special people." ”
When Danshi heard this, he looked around in the center of the scene, and finally fixed his eyes on Shi Die, and looked at it for a while, "That should be the woman from the Nangong family in Loulan City......"
"Exactly. Situ Rang laughed beside him, "The two nieces of the Nangong family, in order to celebrate my birthday, came here a few days ago, and have been living in the mansion recently. ”
"I see, I see that her alchemy technique is extremely stable, far beyond our ability, if you want me to see, she is at least a third-grade Dan master. I don't want this daughter of the Nangong family to not only have a good reputation, but even alchemy is so powerful. ”
Situ Rang nodded and admitted: "Yes, I didn't know before, my niece has such a powerful alchemy, but I'm ashamed." ”
Everyone watched for a while, and the Dan Master made a comment on everyone in the field.
After a while, someone asked, "They are also refining medicinal liquids, so how do you judge who is the most powerful?" ”
"Well...... It depends on who refines the liquid first. "The Dan Master explained step by step, "The time for extracting the Aoki Vine Medicinal Liquid, the average two-grade Dan Master needs the time of a stick of incense, and the more skilled the person, the shorter the time required." ”
"Speaking of which, it's almost half a pillar of incense now. ”
"Well, presumably it won't be long before someone wants to quench the medicinal liquid. Master Dan stroked his gray beard and said slowly.
However, just as his words fell, a flash of emerald green luster suddenly flashed in the afterglow.
