Chapter 116: Turning the Tide
As the time approached, the academy elder in charge of maintaining order shouted in a deep voice, "The hour has come, and the game has begun." ”
Thumb-thick sandalwood was lit, and the atmosphere in the square suddenly became solemn. Many people began to try it with a nervous face.
Of course, there are also many people with relaxed faces and no hurry to do it, including Bai Dongqing, who has a calm face.
It's just that Bai Dongqing is just pretending.
To say that there is no nervousness is completely false. Bai Dongqing looked at the dazzling array of medicinal materials in front of him, but he didn't know where to start.
The sword spirit whispered, "Don't worry, let's see what pills they are refining first." ”
Behind Bai Dongqing, a young man with a dark complexion glanced at Bai Dongqing with contempt, and immediately began refining.
The aura in his hand suddenly slapped into the Dan furnace, and suddenly the furnace body shook, and a soft sound came out. Immediately, the young man grabbed a few pairs of medicinal herbs and threw them into the furnace with great skill, and the sound of stabbing and stabbing came out through the furnace.
The sword spirit sneered disdainfully, "It's just a hundred herbs." ”
This Baicao Pill, Bai Dongqing has also heard Jian Ling mention it. It belongs to the lower grade three-grain pill, although the refining steps are extremely cumbersome, but the difficulty is not high, and the quality of the Cheng Dan is also very limited, but there is also a certain chance of refining the four-pattern medium-grade pill.
This kind of competition refining Baicao Dan is unlikely to advance.
Bai Dongqing looked away and looked to the other side.
The disciples here choose to refine the Four Patterns Yuan One Soul Clearing Pill, this kind of pill belongs to the relatively unpopular pill among the medium-grade pills, the difficulty is acceptable, if it can be successful, there is a certain chance to get the top noun.
With the intense refining, nearly half of the time has passed.
Except for a few people on the field, Bai Dongqing and a few others have basically started to prepare, and the elixirs they have refined are also varied.
Among them, there are also some high-quality pills, but they basically choose the more confident four-pattern Zhongpin Danfang.
Bai Dongqing's gaze swept over Tang Xu, at this time he had also begun to refine, compared to most people, Tang Xu was very calm.
According to Tang Xu's own alchemy level, it is not a big problem to enter the top thirty without accident.
His eyes roughly swept over most of the people, and Bai Dongqing had a slight idea in his heart. At this time, the vast majority of them chose to refine the four patterns, and a very small number of disciples tried the five patterns.
In other words, if Bai Dongqing wants to enter the top thirty, he needs to refine at least a high-quality four-pattern pill.
To be honest, Bai Dongqing was not sure in his heart.
Now Bai Dongqing's reliance is only on the sword spirit, and seeing that the sandalwood is half burning, Bai Dongqing muttered in a low voice, "Almost, right?"
"We refine the Five Patterns Rejuvenation Qi Pill. The voice of the sword spirit finally sounded, which was a reassuring pill for Bai Dongqing.
The Returning Qi Pill is not a particularly difficult elixir, but if you want to successfully refine the five patterns, the difficulty is obvious.
Commanded by Sword Spirit, Bai Dongqing was responsible for implementation.
The early stage has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the control of the Huiqi Pill is extremely harsh, but fortunately, Bai Dongqing has the guidance of the sword spirit, and the control of the dragon fire is also just right.
The dragon fire silently burrowed into the Dan furnace, and the cyan flames curled up in the furnace tires, emitting a glowing green light.
Bai Dongqing didn't say a word, and threw all the herbs into the furnace.
The Hui Qi Pill is different from the refining of the Hui Soul Pill, this pill needs to be refined slowly and slowly, and the medicinal materials will be fully cauterized to extract its essence.
A few herbs were gradually burned into white powder under the wrapping of the dragon fire, and the sword spirit saw this and shouted in a low voice, "Throw all the remaining medicinal materials into the furnace." ”
Bai Dongqing obeyed, and the only remaining medicinal materials were thrown into the furnace in one go, and suddenly a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.
This rich fragrance permeated the entire square, and immediately attracted countless people's peeps.
"It's actually the Five-Pattern Rejuvenation Pill?"
"What's the matter with this kid?"
There was a whisper in the square.
Among the countless eyes attracted by the fragrance, there are envy, jealousy, and surprise... All kinds of emotions filled the hearts of the people.
For the countless glances cast, Bai Dongqing turned a blind eye. At this time, it has reached the important link of Ning Dan, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will fall short.
Bai Dongqing carefully controlled the flames, fine beads of sweat slipped down from his forehead from time to time, and several kinds of medicinal materials were baked into medicinal powders of different colors by the dragon fire, as long as Bai Dongqing compressed all the medicinal powders into a ball, and then used the dragon fire to bake and shape, it could be regarded as a great success.
Then at this crucial link, behind Bai Dongqing, there was a monk with bad intentions who suddenly shouted, and the Dan furnace exploded.
Since Bai Dongqing was the closest to the scope of the explosion, he was also the most affected.
The flames were also out of control due to this sudden change, and as soon as the temperature was high, the pill that was about to take shape was also burned black.
"Oops, sorry, it's frying. The monk behind him scratched his scalp and said with an embarrassed expression.
"The fryer is disqualified from the game, and the rest continues. An elder interrupted the complaining crowd.
This person clearly did it on purpose, which made Bai Dongqing's face ugly. In order to refine the Hui Qi Pill, Bai Dongqing had already refined all the medicinal materials at the same time, and it was impossible to re-refine them at this time.
The disqualified monk passed by Bai Dongqing's side, showed a sneer, and then strode out of the square.
This person obviously deliberately targeted Bai Dongqing, wanting Bai Dongqing to lose the opportunity to become a Danshi. I didn't have time to figure out the problem, at this time the sandalwood was about to burn to the roots, and the game was nearing the end.
If he can't refine the pill in a limited time, Bai Dongqing will lose his qualification to become a Dan Master.
"Is there a remedy?" Although Bai Dongqing was anxious, he understood a truth better, and being anxious at this time would only be counterproductive.
The sword spirit was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I can only give it a try." Control the flames to lock in the potion and prevent it from draining. ”
Then, a sword spirit aura came from the black sword, and it went straight into the scorched elixir.
Bai Dongqing's expression was abrupt, and he heard the sword spirit say in a rapid tone: "Divide a trace of essence and blood power into the elixir." ”
So far, Bai Dongqing has no choice.
A trace of essence blood quietly drilled into the Dan furnace along Bai Dongqing's fingers, and the burnt pill slowly faded away from the pitch-black appearance under the wrapping of essence blood, gradually revealing the color of earthy yellow.
"What is this?" Bai Dongqing looked excited, there were four Dan patterns on this unsightly pill.
"This is the Purifying Elixir!" the sword spirit resounded in a relieved voice.
Obviously, the two of them took a desperate step to turn the tide at the last moment, successfully turning waste into treasure and refining a new elixir.
Although there are only four pill lines, the sword spirit is extremely confident, and the four-pattern pill mixed with the power of essence and blood is definitely no worse than the ordinary five-pattern pill.
