Volume 1 Spiritual Rhino Chapter 185 Amazing Alchemy
There was no need to ask at all, Xiao Nu understood what this round of chief alchemy master competition was about. Whoever finally refines the highest level of the elixir will be able to get the position of chief.
When he first arrived at the princess's mansion, Xiao Nu briefly asked Princess Miran what the so-called chief master meant.
It turns out that the Polar Royal Court is close to the Dragon Cave, and close to the Dragon Soul Ruins, although the climatic conditions are very harsh, and it is impossible to grow food crops, but in a certain three areas, there are a large number of high-grade medicinal materials, and a large number of demonic beasts are gathered in these three areas, and the polar demons are often used as prey.
Every year, the royal court has to organize many actions to pick medicinal herbs, or large-scale hunting operations, and the medicinal materials obtained and the materials collected from various demonic beasts have become the main materials for the royal court to go to Fang City in exchange for food.
In addition, the mineral deposits in the royal court area are also quite rich, and there are dozens of smelters with considerable scale. The refined ore obtained is also one of the important items for trading grain or other necessary materials.
Therefore, in the royal court, there are three large warehouses, namely the medicine warehouse, the material warehouse, and the mineral warehouse, and all the medicinal materials, refining materials, and mineral materials in the royal court are concentrated in these three warehouses. According to the laws of the royal court and the ancestral teachings of the polar demons, these things are all things to trade, and even the throne has no right to suggest them, except that the chief master can use them freely. Of course, the throne has the right to supervise and remove the three chief masters. The chief master selected this time will become the manager and ruler of the three warehouses. It is up to them to decide the amount of materials that each caravan transports to the fang market to trade, and it is up to them to determine the level of sacrifice to the god of gluttony each year.
In the end, the three chief masters will have to listen to the arrangement of the throne in the end. When Xiao Nu heard this, he felt that this rule was simply too unreasonable, these three chief masters were simply the people who held the fate of the entire royal court in their hands, it could be said that one person was above ten thousand people, no wonder countless people were planning to get this position.
The assessment of the chief alchemy master was actually not as simple as Xiao Nu imagined.
In the medicine box that the Praetorian Guards had moved, there were just ninety-nine kinds of four-star to six-star medicinal herbs, one pound each.
The masters who participated in the election actually needed to carefully conceive, distribute them reasonably, and use all the ninety-nine kinds of medicinal materials, and in the end, whoever refined the most types of pills, the highest grade, and the least waste of medicinal materials in the medicine box could obtain the title of chief alchemy master.
However, Xiao Nu, who had been patiently peeking at the busy work of the seven alchemists, quickly understood this, and then began to concentrate on scanning the medicine box around him with his soul sense, and in an instant, the whole person seemed to suddenly enter the state of emptiness that he had forgotten about things and me, but in fact, his divine soul was constantly matching and calculating these ninety-nine completely different medicinal materials.
Xiao Nu finally realized that he really couldn't underestimate the wisdom of the demon clan, just this form of test, he would fully assess a person's alchemy attainments, and secretly respid his contempt, and decided to take this assessment seriously, even if it didn't work, it could also be regarded as a test of his own Dan Dao, after all, after the soul silk dragon devoured and fused all the skill stars, Xiao Nu couldn't check the progress of his various skills and secret techniques in a timely manner, and only when a certain skill secret technique reached the critical point of advancement, he could only receive a prompt, so even if he had already refined such as Dinghai Dan in the Shadow Inn in the Trading City before, Concentration Pill and other six-star high-grade pills, in fact, he didn't know how far his Dan Dao had improved.
Now Xiao Nu's Divine Soul Calculation Ability has increased by at least ten times compared to before entering the Haoran Realm, and perhaps this also has the skill of the evolution of Lingxi Mountain. However, after more than a dozen breaths, Xiao Nu completed the reasonable distribution of the ninety-nine medicinal materials in the medicine box, and did not start refining it immediately, but first practiced it in the divine soul.
Qi Lu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, at least according to the current trend, he had firmly won the title of Chief Master of Danku. For the sake of insurance, he invited back three masters this time, just to win the three chief positions at the same time.
In this way, even if Lou Miao was eccentric and wanted to pass the throne to Mi Ran, on the other side of the main hall, almost all the princes and ministers gathered there, watching the progress of the campaign through the mirror magic circle, how could they watch such a thing happen?
Qi Lu felt that the victory was in hand, and when she thought of the beauty of the private agreement reached with some people in Fang City, her heart was full of beautiful longing and fantasy.
The seven alchemists all have extraordinary means, and even if these people are placed in the Yuanmeng Empire, they will become the guests of the major forces in the state and county towns. However, after half a cup of tea, the alchemy master invited back by Qi Lu had successfully refined the first furnace of the six-star elixir ———— the Soul Returning Pill.
As a six-star primary elixir that restores soul power, the Soul Returning Pill has a wide market in the demon world, especially in the expeditionary battlefield where it is in stalemate with humans, this elixir is in short supply, and it is deeply loved by the masters and powerhouses of the demon race.
A master who is accustomed to using his soul power to urge magic weapons and launch secret techniques to fight, who still likes to fight close to the flesh with his fists and feet? It's like he can control a hundred people with a domain, who is willing to use his body magic secret arts, and one by one he will clean up the opponents who have no power to fight back in front of him.
Therefore, the Soul Returning Pill, which restores about ten percent of the soul power, has become a must-have elixir for the strong, and the transaction price in the market is about five hundred magic crystals per bottle (ten pills).
Seeing this, Lou Miao also showed joy on his face for the first time.
The ninety-nine kinds of medicinal materials used for assessment are the most common in the territory of the royal court, and they are also the most abundant medicinal materials accumulated in the Danku, because of the lack of powerful alchemists, many times, the royal court is not allowed to transport a large number of medicinal materials to the fang market to sell cheaply, every time I think of this, Lou Wei is very unpleasant.
If the royal court had a powerful alchemy master, he could turn all the medicinal materials in the danku into high-grade pills, which would not only greatly reduce the burden on the caravan, but also increase the royal court's profits by at least twenty times. Converted into convertible food or other supplies, that's an astronomical amount.
Seeing that this master who had been retrieved by Qi Lu had actually refined the Soul Returning Pill in the first place, how could Lou Lu not be overjoyed? When he landed, his eyes were almost focused on this person, and he forgot about Xiao Fu, who was sitting stupidly, out of the clouds.
Mi Ran was a little anxious, she regretted that she didn't explain to Xiao Nu how to participate in the election before she came, she saw Xiao Nu Mu Ran sitting there, as if she had been out of the world, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious.
Although Xiao Nu did carry the true inheritance of the Ember Master and obtained the skill of beast control, it was very obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi Lu came completely prepared, and among the three masters he invited back, one must also be a beast master.
When she saw that the alchemy master invited back by Qi Lu had been the first to refine the Soul Returning Pill, she suddenly felt that she had completely lost the alchemy part, and she could only pin her hopes on the next two rounds.
Just now, she originally wanted to tell her father about the fact that the master she really invited back was still recuperating in her own mansion, but she was ruthlessly rejected by her father, who wanted to avoid suspicion and didn't want to listen to what she said at this time. Mi Ran knew what he was worried about, wasn't it the group of ministers in the hall next door.
Now it is equivalent to looking for only hope and completely pinning it on Xiao Nu, hoping that Xiao Nu can perform a miracle again and surprise himself.
However, after the alchemist refined the Soul Returning Pill, the other six masters also refined the first furnace of pills one after another, all of which were five-star high-grade pills, and suddenly, the entire hall was filled with danxiang, and the pale golden halo of Cheng Dan kept flickering, and this round of competition seemed to have reached a white-hot stage.
Successfully refined the first furnace of elixir, the best result was the alchemy master invited back by His Royal Highness the Prince, he took the shortest time, and the level of the elixir he refined was the highest, although it was only a six-star primary soul rejuvenation pill, but it was enough to be proud of the others.
The atmosphere in the main hall became more and more solemn, time passed little by little, Xiao Nu was always in a state of calm, there was no movement, from beginning to end, he didn't touch the medicine box next to him or the Dan furnace in front of him, let alone arrange the alchemy array.
An hour passed in a flash, and it was the alchemy master who had refined the Soul Returning Pill who took the lead in opening the second furnace, and this time, he chose to refine another six-star pill commonly used in the Demon Realm.
The main function of Huayuan Dan is that it can help the demon monks to better integrate the magic power obtained from refining the magic crystal into the body meridians, and remove the impurities in the magic power, similar to purifying the magic power, accelerating the fusion of magic power, and enhancing the compatibility between magic power and demon monks.
The value of Huayuan Dan is second only to the Soul Returning Pill, and it is also a basic high-grade pill that is popular with the majority of strong people, and it has a wide range of uses.
When the Huayuan Dan was released, Lou Wei gave an appreciative smile to His Royal Highness the Prince Qi Lu beside him for the first time, and Qi Lu suddenly felt that everything he had worked was worth it, and his mind was immersed in ecstasy for a while.
Obviously, this master, after carefully matching the ninety-nine kinds of medicinal materials, chose to refine the most advanced several kinds of pills, although the consumption of medicinal materials is very large, but even if the type of pill is less than others, but in terms of value, his pill is the highest, and the final winner is none other than him.
As the medicinal materials in the medicine box gradually decreased, the choices left for the masters became smaller and smaller, because the medicinal materials were missing, and the Dan prescription could not be completed, and the Dan could not be achieved.
Unconsciously, several Dan bottles were placed in front of the seven masters, and the most even ten Dan bottles were placed. This person blindly chose four-star and five-star pills to refine, and the combination of medicinal materials was relatively even, so the variety and quantity of Cheng Dan were the largest, but he knew that he had lost.
Five hours passed quietly in an almost boring but thrilling way, and the refining of the seven alchemy masters had come to an end, even those who were not proficient in the Dan Dao could see that what the seven of them were refining at present would be their last furnace of Dan.
Combined with the comprehensive consideration of the level of the pill medicine that each person refined just now, the alchemy master invited back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the upper hand. Just when the throne tower and the other masters who did not participate in the alchemy election, as well as the civil and military ministers next door who were looking intently at the mirror magic array, all thought that there was no suspense about the winner of this round, an astonishing change suddenly occurred in the main hall.
Princess Miran, who has been in a state of weakness, like a dying flower, suddenly bloomed with a dazzling look all over her body, as if someone had been injected with a bottle of Huiyuan Pill Potion.
It turned out that just when the seven alchemy masters were about to end their last round of alchemy, Xiao Nu, who had been sitting still, suddenly moved.
And his move attracted everyone's attention, even the seven masters who were nervously refining the pill, and they were almost in the middle of a huge earthquake in their hearts, and the last furnace of the pill was directly refined!
"In this world, there are still people who can do alchemy like this!!
This is the exclamation from the bottom of everyone's hearts.
