Chapter 100
The competition restarted, and the eyes of the surrounding crowd once again focused on the remaining disciples.
The remaining few disciples are all from various sects, and they are the elite disciples of the sects, and when they encounter this situation, Taishan, who has already been practiced, collapsed in front of him and did not change his face, calm and calm, and only did his own thing steadily, and when the outside world was still talking about it, they didn't even take a peek.
This composure and calmness already makes people can't help but boast in their hearts.
Seeing that they were unhurriedly controlling the furnace fire of the medicine ding, one after another spells hit the medicine ding, and they were not affected in the slightest, and the surrounding sounds gradually calmed down, and soon the previous silence was restored.
Due to the vision of heaven and earth just appeared, the number of monks watching the game at this moment was twice as large as Fangcai, and the place that was originally a little empty was now crowded with people, sitting on the viewing platform and looking down, the black pressure was full of human heads, all attracted by the vision caused by the super elixir.
"Let me ask you, do you see what's wrong with that elixir?" After the ruling monk surnamed Zuo returned to the subjective battle platform, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion quietly summoned him and asked in a low voice.
"I don't see anything wrong, but since Fairy Su just interrupted the game, I guess I have something in my heart, it should be related to that super grade elixir." The ruling monk swept the left and right sides, making sure that no one was paying attention, and then whispered back to the steward.
"Tsk, aren't you talking nonsense? I still don't know that it has something to do with that elixir? The steward and he have been friends for many years, and the two are very familiar with each other, so they glanced at him when they heard the words, and said angrily, "What I want to know is, what is the problem with that pill!" ”
"I don't know about this......" The ruling monk frowned, his face was very aggrieved, if he could see that something was wrong, he would have stopped the competition of the disciples of Feiyun Hall earlier, did he still have to wait for Su Qingran to stop?
"Since that elixir has caused a vision of heaven and earth, it can prove that it was definitely not replaced after the furnace was opened...... What could be the reason for that? The steward pinched his chin, bowed his head in contemplation, and whispered.
Looking at Su Qingran's appearance, there was obviously something wrong with that pill.
But since it wasn't the time to open the furnace to replace the elixir with the one prepared in advance, what other way could it be exchanged in front of everyone's eyes?
The steward would guess whether the pill had been dropped, because there had been a case of a monk secretly changing the pill while the furnace was open.
Because the person who checked the pill for the first time after the furnace was turned on was not the adjudicator, but the alchemist himself, and at the same time, there was only one participating pharmacist next to the medicine ding, so it was still easy to take advantage of the maneuver or something.
This kind of cheating method can only deceive monks who don't know about alchemy, and it is impossible to hide the alchemists who are in the company of elixirs and medicine tripods all day long.
The basic reason is that the freshly baked pill is slightly different from the pill prepared in advance, the freshly baked pill has a strong smell, and the pill prepared in advance has long passed the time when the taste is the strongest, so the alchemists know whether it has just been opened when they smell it.
In addition to the smell, there are also nuances in color.
Of course, people who haven't refined hundreds or thousands of furnaces can't tell the difference at all.
That's why this technique was discovered.
Some people have wondered, Andu City itself is not a big city, and there are no prizes in the competition, why can it attract so many sects to participate, and even use various means to grab the first place?
In fact, in the final analysis, it's because of fame.
The Yakushi Contest in Ondo Castle first began a thousand years ago, and the person who held the tournament at that time was not the lord of Ontsu Castle, but a young monk in the foundation building period.
The predecessor of the pharmacist competition was a ring match.
This monk a thousand years ago was a young man who was very talented in alchemy, but I don't know if it was bad luck or what, he couldn't find a sect willing to accept him.
So he set up a ring in a fit of anger and put up a flag, on which were written the words "pharmacists of the same rank are only seeking defeat", attracting alchemists from all walks of life to duel with him.
The monk's goal was achieved, and after winning ninety-nine games in a row, he finally entered the sect of his choice.
And the ring that he had to dismantle at that time was left behind by the city lord who didn't know how many generations ago, and it developed into a pharmacist competition where various sects meet once every three years.
Naturally, even the fact that the monk who built the ring did not have an award because he was shy in his pocket has been passed down without reservation, and it has been passed down to this day.
In simple terms, it's like a local character.
The local specialty of other cities is fine wine and food, and the local specialty of Andu City is the triennial pharmacist competition, which has gradually spread.
So don't look at Andu City is not big, its fame is not small at all, how many monks want to take advantage of this competition to make a name, and since then fame and fortune have been gained.
In order to achieve this goal, of course, there will be people who will do everything they can to get the first place.
Thinking of this, the steward secretly glanced at the place where Su Qingran was, and saw that she looked calm and confident on her face, and the steward could only hold back the confusion in her heart for the time being, waiting for her to solve the mystery after the game.
On Su Qingran's side, except for Wei Yuanfan, who was standing behind her, who could still maintain his composure, the rest of the disciples were all squeezing their eyebrows at the people around them, not daring to make a sound, they could only exchange information with each other with their eyes, expressing their curiosity.
Not only were the disciples of the Danxia Sect curious, but Lin Huaizhu was also puzzled when he stood in the place with the best view in the room.
"Daojun, what kind of medicine do you say is sold in this Su Fairy gourd?"
"How do I know what kind of medicine she sells...... Si Che stepped on a wooden stool, peeling peanuts and eating them, "According to what I know about her, she is not the kind of person who dares to do it casually without being sure, she will agree to solve it after the game is over, I think it has her intentions, you can wait with peace of mind." ”
Lin Huaizhu thought about it, so he sat back at the table, eating the snacks on the table, and paying close attention to the movements of the playing field.
This sitting, is to sit until the sun sinks in the west and night falls, and after two-thirds of the people who originally gathered around the platform have gone, the game finally ended in everyone's expectation with a crisp and loud sound of the gong.
"It's over!" Lin Huaizhu perked up, looked over there with burning eyes and said.
As soon as the results of the competition came out, everyone looked at the first place in surprise and not unexpectedly, and all their eyes turned to Su Qingran, waiting for her to answer.
The disciple of the Feiyun Hall had been standing behind the senior brother of the same sect since the incident, trying to hide himself in the same sect, but he could still feel all kinds of curious, suspicious, and malicious glances coming from all directions.
Not only outsiders here, but also Feiyun Palace's own disciples also threw a light glance at him with different expressions, and quickly withdrew it, and then glanced at it lightly, so repeatedly that he only felt as uncomfortable as if he had been pricked by thousands of small thorns, and he couldn't wait to leave here now.
Of course, this can only be thought of, he lowered his head at the moment, avoiding everyone's sight, his hands at his side were clenched into fists, the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, and the whole person looked very tense, as if as long as someone touched him lightly, he could immediately bounce up in fright, very nervous.
The elder of the Feiyun Hall sat at the forefront, and he actually wanted to arrest this disciple and ask him clearly, but under the gaze of so many people, he could only forcibly suppress the irritability in his heart, with a touch of gloom on his face, and his eyes looked at the competition table gloomily.
He was only thinking about how to prevent Su Qingran from checking that pill now.
In fact, there is no need for everyone to say more, as long as he looks at the performance of that disciple, he already knows that this pill is different, otherwise he would not blurt out Su Qingran's request so nervously and fearfully, it is obvious that he is weak-hearted.
Thinking of this, the elders of the Feiyun Hall couldn't help but scold in their hearts, if you have the courage to cheat, you must have the courage to bear it! If you want to cheat, you are so small, and others are already panicking before they start doing anything, and they show their feet, how can they succeed in the future?!
That's right, the reason why the Elder of Feiyun Hall held his breath in his heart was not because that disciple got the first place by cheating, but because he was angry that since he had successfully concealed the ruling monk, what was he afraid of when Su Qingran proposed to take a look!
Su Qingran asked her to check if he wanted to check it, and ruled that the monk was also a sixth-order pharmacist, and he was at the same level as Su Qingran, and he didn't even see it, and the elders of Feiyun Hall didn't believe that Su Qingran could see it.
Besides, it was not that there were no monks who wanted to make small moves in the past, but the methods were too clumsy and were discovered in time.
Since this disciple can refine a super-grade elixir without anyone noticing, this is also a kind of ability!
The Elder of the Feiyun Hall was still a little proud in his heart, and before he could finish his complacency, his expression suddenly froze, his brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
This super elixir is not something that can be had, how did that disciple do it? Since he can use it to participate in the competition, does it mean that he is absolutely sure? If his method could refine a super-grade elixir 100 percent, wouldn't that be ......
As if he suddenly realized something, the Elder of the Feiyun Palace's heartbeat suddenly accelerated at this moment, as if someone was beating a drum in his heart, making a "bang" sound, and even his breathing was much heavier.
Only then did he realize that in the dense crowd of people in the audience, the eyes of several monks had been looming at the disciple, and there was a vague expression on their faces, which made the Elder of Feiyun Hall feel a "chuckle" in his heart, and he was even more vigilant at the moment.
Such a look was ill-intentioned at first glance, and it seemed that someone had noticed the same place as him, and was secretly playing some bad idea.
That disciple didn't know that he had somehow become a fragrant bun in everyone's eyes, and he only wanted to shrink into his fellow disciples and brothers, avoiding those scorching eyes.
Such a difficult moment finally came to an end, and the disciple stood in place with a nervous face, waiting for Su Qingran to expose him.
"Wait."
At this time, someone spoke, and the disciple saw that it was the elder of his sect who was speaking, and at this moment, he raised a hand and stopped Su Qingran, who was walking towards the ruling monk.
"Oh? Didn't Elder Kong be right by me, and he was reluctant to let me see it? Su Qingran stopped, turned back and smiled at him, with sarcasm in his smile, and said slowly.
