Time flies in a blink of an eye, and the junior pharmacist competition officially begins.

The competition venue is set up in the Dan Dojo of the Pharmacist Guild, and the contestants enter in turn, and the onlookers enter the arena through another corridor to watch.

There are 100 county towns in the entire Dunhuang Prefecture, and each county has three contestants, so there are 300 participants in this competition. The rules of the tournament have already been communicated to each participant, so no one will cheat before entering.

After the contestants were seated, all the main leaders of the guild were present, and the Huangpu Jingtai stood on the high platform and announced loudly: "The competition of the junior pharmacists of the state pastor starts now! ”

With the opening of the exam, the contestants prepared for alchemy in an orderly manner.

The first step is to sort the herbs according to personal habits, the second step is to open the furnace and make a fire, the third step is to feed the alchemy, and the fourth step is to make the pill.

At this time, each contestant has a storage bag in his hand, and each storage bag contains ten herbs of the same quality of five hundred flavors, and according to the requirements of the guild, these five hundred flavors of medicinal herbs can be refined into at least five different pills each.

According to the difficulty of the pill, there are five kinds of pills: blood tonifying pill, qi tonifying pill, replenishing yuan pill, nian li pill, and soul tonifying pill, among which the blood tonifying pill is the easiest and the soul tonifying pill is the most difficult.

Chen Fei and Li Fu chose to challenge the refining of the Qi Replenishing Pill, the Blood Replenishing Pill was no longer difficult for the two of them, and if they could gain something in the Qi Replenishing Pill, the results would not be too bad.

Most of the contestants in other counties had similar ideas to Chen Fei and the others, and only a very few people chose to refine the Replenishing Yuan Pill and the Nian Li Pill.

On the other hand, Duoduo has the most personality, he decided to refine each elixir, he hasn't paid attention to this competition yet, but he doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity to practice at the moment.

The first is the blood tonic pill, Duoduo selects all the herbs of the blood tonic pill, and then opens the furnace to make a fire. Previously, because of the experience of refining the Nian Li Pill, Duoduo directly put ten herbs into the Dan Furnace, and then controlled the heat to slowly extract the essence of the herbs.

In a short time, the essence of the herb was extracted. After the essence of the herbs and trees is introduced into the drainage tank, it is first filled with porcelain, then the residue is removed, and the last step is to return the essence to the furnace.

The blood tonic pill that Duoduo wants to refine is different from what others refine, and what he wants to refine is the foundation building middle grade blood tonifying pill. As the medicinal juice returned to the furnace, the excess water was evaporated by the furnace fire, and Duoduo made a Dan seal one by one, and soon a lustrous and mellow pill was formed.

"I didn't expect Master Xuan's Circumference Spirit Seal Method to be so easy to use, but I just don't know how effective the Qi Replenishing Pill is. ”

Next, Duoduo used the same method of condensing the pill to condense the qi replenishing pill, and the moment the pill was baked, it proved that Xuanhua's alchemy experience was indeed very effective.

Put the medium-grade Qi Replenishing Pill into the jade bottle, and then Duoduo began to refine the Replenishing Yuan Pill.

The so-called tonic pill is an elixir used to replenish vitality, which is different from qi and blood, but it is closely related to qi and blood. The loss of vitality is like a tree without roots, so it can be said that vitality is the foundation of all life.

The difficulty of refining the Replenishing Yuan Dan lies in how to extract the essence of the Yuan ginseng, which melts when it encounters fire and dissolves when it encounters water, so it is difficult to extract its essence.

There were only more than 20 contestants in the entire competition hall who chose to refine the Replenishing Yuan Pill, and they swept through it with a lot of distraction, and found that these contestants were all cautious and did not dare to be careless.

On the high platform, the elders were satisfied with the performance of each contestant.

Alchemy pays attention to intentions, experience is obtained from practice again and again, if you want to have a sense of the heart, you must be attentive, otherwise even all the perception is very shallow.

Duoduo's method of refining the Replenishing Yuan Pill is very different from others, at first he used Xuanhua's experience to refine this pill, but the success rate was not very high, and then Duoduo still used Boqi's inheritance method to refine the Replenishing Yuan Pill.

In Boqi's lineage, the alchemy method he used was called the method of pulpping.

This method is similar to the dish of stir-fried beef with parsley, and anyone who knows how to cook knows that before stir-frying beef with parsley, the beef needs to be marinated for a few minutes, and then the stir-fried beef will not grow old and taste better.

When refining the Yuan Dan, put the Yuan ginseng in the last place, and when the essence of the other spirit herbs is successfully extracted, then put the Yuan ginseng into the medicinal juice and return to the furnace to condense the Dan, so that a good lower grade Bu Yuan Dan will be practiced.

When refining the Replenishing Yuan Pill, Duoduo found that the role of spiritual power was extremely important, and the spiritual power was not good, and the success rate of alchemy was greatly reduced.

The next step is to refine the Nianli Pill, and the main role of the Nianli Pill is to replenish spiritual power. He had refined the Lower Grade Nian Li Pill before, and this time he challenged the Middle Grade Nian Li Pill.

First of all, put a lot of herbs into the Dan furnace, and then use your own spiritual power as a guide, and the last step is to return to the furnace to condense the Dan.

Although the middle-grade Nianli Pill and the lower-grade Nianli Pill to be refined by Duoduo are the same kind of pill, the effects are very different. Refining the medium-grade Nianli Pill chooses the synthesis method, and the synthesis method, as the name suggests, is to use several lower-grade Nianli Pills to synthesize a medium-grade Nianli Pill.

On the high platform, Xuanhua saw a lot of use of the synthesis method, and he couldn't help but worry about him.

You must know that the probability of frying the pill after the pill is returned to the furnace is very high, and everything you have done before is in vain. For Xuanhua, these blue-robed pharmacists, they would not choose such low-level methods.

Duoduo naturally has his reasons for choosing this method, for him, the success rate of refining the mid-grade Nian Li Pill at one time is too low, and it is not as direct as the synthesis method.

Under the attention of many people, Duoduo used three lower-grade Nianli Pills to synthesize a medium-grade Nianli Pill.

He also used his own spiritual power as an introduction, and then threw three pills into the Dan furnace. Under the scorching flames, beads of sweat kept leaving on both of Duoduo's cheeks, which was the result of the rapid loss of his mental power.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was about to be condensed, only to hear a loud noise, and the first medium-grade Nianli Dan fryer refined by Duoduo was completed.

"It's a pity!" Xuanhua sighed on the high platform.

"What are you afraid of failure, Brother Duoduo still has two chances. Not far away, Qiu Chengfeng commented.

But Xuanhua didn't dare to think so, he worried about Duoduo, if Duoduo could win, he would have a greater chance of pursuing He Qiong.

Duoduo himself didn't feel anything, only to see him swallow a lower grade Nian Li Pill, and then continue the previous method of Hedan.

In his opinion, practice makes perfect, and as long as you practice more, there is always the possibility of success in Hedan.

After recovering his mental power, Hedan began again. This time, Duoduo used his spiritual power more carefully to guide the three pills, and in terms of fire, Duoduo gave up the previous method of using the Fierce Fire Condensing Pill and used the Gentle Fire Condensing Pill method instead. After a stick of incense passed, the three lower grade pills slowly fused.

After another quarter of an hour, Duoduo turned off the furnace fire, and continued to condense the pill by relying on the residual heat of the furnace temperature, and sure enough, this time the three lower-grade pills successfully fused into a medium-grade Nianli Pill.

"Fantastic, it worked. On the high platform, Xuanhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Duoduo did not continue to fuse the Mind Power Pill, but prepared to refine the Soul Replenishing Pill. He had never refined the Soul Replenishing Pill before, and the difficulty could be imagined.

As the name suggests, the Soul Replenishing Pill is an elixir for repairing soul injuries, this kind of elixir can be refined with Duoduo's current cultivation to be able to refine the foundation of the lower grade Soul Replenishing Pill, if you want to refine a higher-level Soul Replenishing Pill, it is simply a fool's dream.

You must know that soul injuries are generally difficult to encounter, and if they are encountered, they will definitely die. Low-level cultivators rarely have soul wounds, but they are not none. Cultivators above the Yuan Infant Stage encounter more soul injuries, which are mainly related to the soul injuries that occur when these high-level cultivators cross the tribulation.

Soul replenishing pills on the market are extremely rare, and each one is extremely precious, and the price is dozens or hundreds of times that of other pills of the same level. The higher the grade of the Soul Replenishing Pill, the price difference is extremely large, which leads to the fact that many Yuan Infant cultivators would rather buy a low-level Soul Replenishing Pill than buy a Soul Replenishing Pill corresponding to their own cultivation.

To refine the Soul Replenishing Pill, you must first have a deep understanding of the Divine Soul, otherwise the refined Pill has no effect of repairing soul injuries at all.

Duoduo put the herbs of the Soul Replenishing Pill neatly one by one, and then prepared for alchemy.

Soul tonifying herb, this is the herb that is extracted first.

This spirit grass exudes a faint fragrance, and its branches and leaves are dark green. After throwing this grass into the Dan furnace, Duoduo suddenly felt that his spirit was slightly affected.

Hallucination, that's right! At this time, Duoduo suddenly felt that the scene in front of him changed, and he appeared by a small river.

Duoduo likes to eat fish, and he noticed that there were many fish in the small river in front of him, and he planned to reach out and catch them. But at this moment, a white light flashed, and the fish in the river suddenly disappeared.

"It's a hallucination!" Duoduo immediately came to his senses.

Fortunately, Duoduo came to his senses in time, otherwise the soul replenishing grass in the Dan furnace was burned by the furnace fire.

Duoduo saw that there was still half a soul replenishing grass left, so he reluctantly put the other one into the Dan furnace. Then the hallucinations no longer appeared, and the essence of the spirit grass was extracted.

Next, the extraction of other spirit grasses was very smooth, and the last step was to return to the furnace Ning Dan.

Duoduo unhurriedly threw all the medicinal juice into the Dan furnace, and after a while, the dizzying feeling before hit again, Duoduo forcibly controlled the fire, but the next day soon after the Dan was still fried in the process.

Touch!

Only a loud bang was heard, and the flames of the Dan furnace were blown out, and a purple green smoke drifted into the air.

"It's a pity, my little brother's will is not strong, otherwise this furnace of elixir would not have exploded. Qiu Chengfeng explained the reason for Duoduo's failure.

The so-called divine soul is divided into two parts, first there is a god and then there is a soul, and when the god is absent, the soul naturally dissipates. Duoduo's failure lies in the fact that he is not conscious, so that the will of the divine soul has wavered, and the five gods cannot return to their positions if their will is not strong, so it is difficult to achieve the elixir.

At this time, Duoduo still has one last chance, and if he loses it, this game will be over for him.

Under the eyes of everyone, Duoduo did not rush to alchemy, but meditated cross-legged to recover his spiritual strength.

"What is this little beggar doing? Is it really naïve to think that recovering one's spirit can refine the elixir?" Lu Guocai on the high platform was very optimistic that Duoduo would be able to refine the Soul Replenishing Pill.

The two elders on the side, Tian Guang and Zhou Tao, looked at Duoduo, and the second elder was already shocked at this time, a beginner pharmacist had refined a medium-grade Nian Li Pill, which was not good for his two useless grandsons. Next, whether Duoduo will be able to refine the Soul Replenishing Pill, they have some expectations.

"Brother Zhou, this son is not simple, if he can refine the Soul Replenishing Pill, my grandson's humiliation will be revealed, if he can't refine it, don't blame me for targeting him. Tian Guang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, Tian Liang is his only grandson, although it is useless, but it is not something that anyone can bully.

Zhou Tao smiled slightly and said, "This is a good excuse, it depends on whether this son can surprise us." ”

Obviously, Zhou Tao agreed with Tian Guang's opinion. The so-called forgiveness and forgiveness, but not everyone can be forgiven, the key depends on whether the other party has the ability to be forgiven.

As for the other elders, they also had no hope for Duoduo, the Soul Replenishing Pill was too difficult to refine, and ordinary people couldn't hold on to the moment of Ning Dan at all.

In the case that the vast majority of people are not optimistic, distract yourself and enter the light realm.

"Bai Mang, what can I do to condense the Soul Replenishing Pill?" Duoduo can only turn to the machine spirit for help at this time.

Bai Mang naturally saw the process of Duoduo's failure to refine the Soul Replenishing Pill clearly, and it knew that the crux of the other party's crux was that his will was not strong enough, so he used his divine power to condense a pill and said, "Take it!"

Duoduo didn't ask what the pill Bai Mang gave him was, swallowed the pill into his stomach, and then his divine consciousness returned to the sea of consciousness.

After swallowing the unknown elixir, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then turned on the stove to light a fire. This time, the extraction of the herb essence was smooth and there was no waste.

In the last step, Ning Dan, Duoduo glanced around, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

"Come on, brother!" Chen Fei paused his alchemy and encouraged loudly.

"Come on, victory will be ours. Li Fu clenched his fists, and now only Duoduo could win.

Chen Fei and Li Fu only refined one medium-grade blood tonic pill and a few qi tonifying pills, and it was impossible to win this big competition with this result.

Duoduo nodded, and suddenly his heart was full of enthusiasm.

I saw that he directly controlled the Dan furnace with the power of the divine soul, and when the medicinal juice returned to the furnace, the power of the divine soul was immediately attached to the medicinal juice, and as the temperature of the furnace continued to transpirate the water in the medicinal juice, the condensing pill immediately began.

Some people hope that he will fail, and some people hope that he will succeed, but whether Duoduo can succeed depends on the last quarter of an hour.

As time passed, the essence of the herb gradually condensed into crystals, and Duoduo hurriedly punched out the Dan seal in his hand.

Despite the sweat on his cheeks, he still didn't get distracted to wipe it. When all the Dan seals are injected into the herb crystals, the Dan is quickly formed.

Touch!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and it exploded.

"Haha, Xiduoduo, don't waste your efforts, it's useless, the Soul Replenishing Pill is not so easy to refine. On the platform, Lu Zhongnan laughed.

"Really, who told you I failed?" asked Duoduo rhetorically.

"Isn't it? Bombing Dan just now is something that everyone can see, and you still want to practice it again like last time in the county seat?"

"If I hadn't failed, could you give me a copy of the materials for the Soul Replenishing Pill?" said Duoduo deliberately.

"Who is Meng? Even if I give you ten materials, you won't be able to refine a soul replenishing pill. ”

Duoduo turned his head to the high platform and asked the Imperial Mirror Platform, "Elder, did you hear what Lu Zhongnan said just now?"

Huangpu Jingtai nodded to indicate that he heard it, and he also looked at Duoduo curiously, not knowing what the other party was doing.

I saw Duoduo take out a black pill from the Dan furnace, and then wipe it on his body constantly, after removing the mud of the pill, an intact soul replenishing pill appeared in front of everyone.

"No way! Lu Zhongnan exclaimed.

How could the originally blown apart Soul Replenishing Pill be restored, which made Lu Zhongnan unable to figure it out.

Duoduo grinned and said, "Lu Zhongnan, give me ten copies of the materials for the Soul Replenishing Pill!"

"You are cheating, how can I give you the materials?" Lu Zhongnan said unconvincedly.

The materials of ten soul-replenishing pills are very expensive, and even if they are not refined into pills, they can be sold for millions of purple gold coins. How could Lu Zhongnan give so much money to Duoduo in vain, unless his brain was in water.

Seeing that Lu Zhongnan repented, Duoduo said to the Huangpu Jingtai: "Lord, please call the shots for the kid!"

Without waiting for Huangpu Jingtai to reply, Qiu Chengfeng on one side said angrily: "Lu Zhongnan, are you still not a man?

Huangpu Jingtai got up and followed: "Lu Zhongnan, you said it yourself just now, no one forced you, give ten copies of the materials of the Soul Replenishing Pill to Duoduo's little brother, otherwise I will dishonor your reputation and expel you from the guild." ”

Lu Zhongnan wanted to refute, but was suppressed by Lu Guocai.

"Zhongnan, I am willing to lose the bet, I will give you the materials you lose, but remember to pay me back!"

"Lord Shelu!"

Although Lu Zhongnan was unwilling, he still had to hand over the materials to Duoduo.

Duoduo grinned, and then put the spirit grass into the storage bag.

Next, Huangpu Jingtai announced the end of the competition, and the results of the competition were released on the second day. As everyone knows, Duoduo refined the Soul Replenishing Pill, and while earning a lot of money for himself, he also eliminated a disaster for himself.
