"Water...... Senior Brother Shui Tao!? When Changlong saw someone coming, he screamed a little stumbling.

Hearing Changlong's words, I quickly looked at this person.

This person is the weird alchemist Shui Tao?

He didn't look more than thirty years old, and he wasn't handsome, but his face looked very peculiar. I can't say what kind of temperament it is.

Especially the faint smile on the corner of his mouth made him look like a ruffian. No, it should be said that it is evil! That's right, it's evil! But this smile on his face made people feel very comfortable.

Sizzle...... It's not that it's comfortable, it's just that I don't think such people are so annoying.

Li Xia saw Shui Tao coming, and hurriedly walked over: "Senior Brother Shui Tao, have you also refined a high-grade elixir!?" ”

Hearing this, Shui Tao smiled. He smiled, and I saw a flush on Lixia's cheeks.

Not to mention, after he laughed, he looked even more charming.

I'm a man, but looking at his appearance at this time, I can't help but feel some jealousy in my heart. I think there should be very few women who can resist his smile. How so? Handsome! Very handsome!! If he is in the Huaxia Continent, he must be a king-level star.

I quickly turned my head to look at Man'er beside me, and I saw that Man'er seemed to be a little distracted when looking at the water.

But when Man'er saw me turn to look at her, she pouted indifferently, and then reached out and took my arm.

I'm still very satisfied with Man'er's performance.

No way, man, he cares a lot about this aspect. At least that's how I am, I don't want my woman to look at other men like a nymphomaniac and get nosebleeds.

"That's right, I refined a furnace of Liupindan!" Shui Tao said.

"Huh?? Liupindan! The people next to him let out exclamations of surprise almost at the same time.

"That's right, I originally wanted to refine the Seven Pindan, but the conditions were not enough. So I chose to refine a furnace of Liupindan!! Shui Tao said.

I understand what he meant by not having enough conditions. It should be refining the Seven-Pin Pill, and even the substitute medicinal materials are not in order, so he retreated to refine a furnace of the Six-Pin Pill.

"Senior Brother Shuitao, you really refined a furnace of Liupindan, how did you refine it? Those medicinal herbs are not enough! Lixia asked.

"Just like this brother said, replace the missing herbs with other herbs!" Shui Tao pointed at me and said.

"Huh? Can it really be replaced? It's impossible! "A lot of people still don't believe it.

But they soon became depressed. Because they know that Shui Tao said that it can be replaced, that is, it will definitely be able to be replaced.

"Hello, brother! I haven't seen you before! My name is Shui Tao! Ignoring the other people's thoughts, Shui Tao walked up to me and said to me with a smile.

"Hello Senior Brother Shuitao! My name is Kogawa!! I reached out to him.

Anyway, people took the initiative to say hello to me, and I couldn't be too arrogant.

Shui Tao stretched out his hand and shook it with me, then said to me, "Senior Brother Xiaochuan, that's good! You are really good, that guy from Xingchen only refined the Wupindan, but I didn't expect you to also refine the Wupindan. Awesome! ”

In the face of his praise, I quickly and modestly said: "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke!" ”

"Hehe, this competition is not a fluke! Brother Xiaochuan is too humble! Shui Tao let go of the hand he was holding with me and said.

I smiled and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that I didn't speak again, Shui Tao also asked me, "Senior Brother Xiaochuan is an alchemist of several grades?" Seven products? Eight pins? ”

"Hehe, Senior Brother Shui Tao has been raised, I am just an alchemist of the fifth grade!" I said with a smile.

"Five pins?" Shui Tao looked me up and down, then gave me a thumbs up and said, "Amazing!! ”

"Senior Brother Shuitao, you praised it falsely!" I said politely.

I don't know the details of this water wave, and I don't know his temperament, so I was very polite when I talked to him.

"Alright, you're welcome. When this competition is over, I invite you to my cottage. Let's sit down and talk! Shui Tao said.

"Thank you, I will come to the door to bother me when the time comes!" I arched my hand and said.

For such a very high-level alchemist, I am happy to befriend him. Because that's only going to do me good.

"Good! It's decided! Shui Tao raised his hand and raised it, then turned around and left.

He looked very free, and even his posture looked so chic.

After Shui Tao left, the people around me looked at me. I noticed that the way they looked at me was completely changed.

"What's wrong? This is! I said blankly.

Lixia said to me, "Hehe, Senior Brother Gu, you don't know yet, right? Being invited by Senior Brother Shui Tao to his thatched cottage is a jealous thing! ”

"Really? It seems that I am a very lucky person! I said with a smile.

Just as Lixia was about to say something, the judges who had entered the competition space to judge appeared on the stone platform in front of them again.

It seems that this is having a result.

Before, I was a little worried. But after the water came, I had a bottom in my heart. So, I'm pretty sure I'm in the top 40 right now.

Sure enough, after the judges showed up, a man walked up to the front and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. The results of the second match are now announced. ”

He didn't talk nonsense, and immediately after that, he began to announce the rankings!

"Fortyth place, Dao Yufeng, score 7 points."

"Thirty-ninth place, Duxiangde, 7 points."

"Thirty-eighth ......"

……

With the announcement of the examiner, the atmosphere of the scene immediately became warm.

If you can make it to the third round, you can't get a better result! That's also gaining some fame. Even if you can't be favored by those super big sects, at least you can enter some sects with good strength.

"Tenth place, Shi Laiquan, score 9 points."

When the examiner announced the 10th place, I immediately heard a lot of congratulations not far away.

Although this is not the final result, to be able to enter the top 10 in this competition will already attract a lot of attention.

And my heart is not at peace at this time.

Because until now, my name has not been pronounced. In other words, I had a good chance of finishing in the top 10.

9th and 8th place......

As I moved up the rankings, my heart beat faster.

Are my grades that good?

But it's very likely, because that Stardust is a seventh-grade genius alchemist, and he has only refined a fifth-grade elixir.

"Fourth place, Gu Xiaochuan! Ten points!! The examiner's voice couldn't help but be much louder.

Fourth place? Hehe, I fucking finished fourth. And it's the first perfect score.

In this way, the top three are all perfect scores.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Gu!" When the results were announced, Lixia immediately congratulated me.

"Hehe, it's just a fluke, it's hard to say in the next round!" I smiled and said to Lixia.

This Lixia and Changlong were naturally eliminated, and there was nothing to think about. Because all they refine is a pindan. In the score item of Dan medicine grade, they should all have 0 points. Even if the quality of their pills and the number of Cheng Dan were full marks, it would only be 6 points. And the guy in last place is all 7 points, so their elimination is normal.

"No, I believe that Senior Brother Gu will definitely achieve higher results in the next game!!" Lixia doesn't seem to care about her elimination, and she acts relaxed.

And that Changlong is not good, he is very annoyed at this time.

But when he saw me looking at him, there was some fear in his eyes, and then he turned and walked away.

For this Changlong, I can only express helplessness. He's just too high-profile. I hope that after he passes this time, he will learn a certain lesson, and then learn to restrain his edge.

"Third place, Stardust, 10 points."

"Second place, Shui Tao, score 10 points!!"

As Stardust and Shui Tao's results were announced, the crowd once again burst into discussion.

"Huh? Shui Tao and Stardust didn't even win the first place! How is this possible!? ”

"yes, who's the number one? Is there anyone more powerful than stardust and water waves? ”

"yes, who is it? Think about it, who else recognized a lot of medicinal herbs in the last round!? ”

……

The examiner who announced the results seemed to be deliberate, he didn't rush to announce who the first place was, he just stopped and waited for everyone to discuss.

He waited for almost a minute before he spoke up again, "Okay, please be quiet." Now I declare the first place. ”

Hearing his words, everyone immediately shut their mouths and waited quietly for his announcement.

"First place...... the examiner on the stage shouted in a long voice.

"Wang Jiaping, 10 points!!"

As soon as his words fell, everyone immediately began to talk again.

"Wang Jiaping, who is Wang Jiaping?"

"Have you heard of that name?"

"No! I've never heard of it, huh? ”

"I'll go, there are so many dark horses this year? The fourth place Gu Xiaochuan, and the first place Wang Jiaping, I haven't heard of it! ”

"No, it's all 10 points, why is this Wang Jiaping the first? Could it be that the elixir he refined would be even better than that of Shui Tao and Stardust?! ”

"It's just, it doesn't make sense! Stardust's third place was already very unexpected, how could there be someone more powerful than him? ”

……

Just when everyone was talking, the examiner on the stage shouted again: "Okay, now the top forty have been determined." After the deliberation of the jury, because the things needed for the third round of the competition are not yet in place. So, that's the end of today's competition. The third round of the competition, and the final round, will be held in three days!! ”

As soon as the news was announced, the scene immediately exploded.

"What's going on?"

"How could the third round be postponed to three days later?"

"What's going on?"

"Weird, so weird! This year's contest is so weird! The competition in this alchemy hall of fame has always been completed in one day. Why postpone this time? ”

"Didn't you hear him? What you need for the third round of the competition is not yet in place! ”

"Che, you believe that. How is that possible? It's just an excuse! ”

"Something big is going to happen! This thing is so weird!! ”
