Chapter Thirty-Nine: Outside the Strong, Middle, Dry
There are only one pair of medicinal herbs next to one Dan furnace. Time is three pillars of incense, and whoever refines the detoxification pill wins.
In fact, the time of the three-pillar incense is just the time for an ordinary alchemist to refine three detoxification pills, and now Gu Jun and Li Rancheng are facing dozens of pill furnaces and dozens of medicinal materials, Gu Jun is naturally impossible to refine one after another, in that case, it is impossible to win a three-grade alchemist no matter what, only when the left and right hands start work at the same time, and refine two after two, it is possible to be faster than Li Rancheng's refining speed one after another.
It's just that the success rate of refining the detoxification pill with the left and right hands alone is definitely lower than that of refining a detoxification pill with both hands.
Therefore, Gu Jun needs to gamble, not only with Li Rancheng, but also with himself. Anyway, if you lose, you just have a bad reputation and a reputation that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, in short, it is not a loss. But if he wins, then he will become an alchemy prodigy in the minds of the people of Quanlizhou! Such a name is almost the same as a fortune boy, and it is worth fighting!
Gu Jun, who had made up his mind, opened his bow left and right in the surprised eyes of everyone, held a pair of medicinal herbs in his hand in his hand, and stretched out into the two Dan furnaces in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.
The first time I opened the bow on the left and right to refine the pill separately, I was naturally a little in a hurry, the medicinal materials in my right hand had just melted into medicinal liquid, but the medicinal materials in my left hand had been burned to ashes. Gu Jun stabilized his mind, immediately gave up the refining of his left hand, and carefully refined the medicinal materials in his right hand, and his left hand and right hand were busy in a Dan furnace at the same time, but he accelerated the speed of alchemy, and just finished refining this first detoxification pill at the same time as Li Rancheng, who was not familiar with wildfire control. In this first round of refining, Gu Jun and Li Ran were tied.
At the beginning of the second round, Gu Jun was not in a hurry to alchemy, but calmed down and reduced the speed of his right hand, so that the rhythm of his left hand was completely consistent.
The two hands that stretch into the Dan furnace throw the medicinal materials in the palm with the same action and the same rhythm, and then the palm of the hand is pressed down to the flame center of each Dan furnace, and then quickly backhand, and then use the five fingers to briskly stir up the inner flame, and drive the outer flame to burn the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace through the inner flame......
All this is done, Xiao Gu Jun is familiar with the road, after all, the fire born by the fire fold, Gu Jun has long been familiar with it can not be more familiar, the last night of the three months, he has felt what kind of heat and pain the different degrees of fire give him, as well as the fierce resistance of the outer flame and the inner flame and the peace and docility of the flame heart, all of which made him realize the characteristics of the flame - strong outside and dry in the middle.
He believed that so it was with the flames, and so it was with the people. The more arrogant and domineering people are, the less real talent they have. Li Rancheng is exactly such a person.
Li Rancheng is anxious at the moment. It is true that he is a third-grade alchemist, but no alchemist does not use his own flame, because only his own flame can his soul be the easiest to control. And wildfire, it's really wild and untamable. Li Rancheng's soul as a third-grade alchemist was not strong enough to control wildfires in the air, and he didn't have Gu Jun's ability to not be afraid of fire, so when his soul power noticed that Gu Jun's two Dan furnaces were becoming pills, he was anxious and couldn't care about face, so he had to break a branch in front of everyone to pick the flames in the Dan furnace to refine the pill.
"I'm not dazzled, is he? What is he doing? Alchemy with branches?!"
"The third-grade alchemist also uses a fire stick?!Then can I, a cook who burns the fire every day, also become an alchemist? I knew that I would have come to sign up for today's alchemy disciple selection competition!"
"What are you kidding! Didn't you watch the tryouts just now? None of the players on the field used a fire stick! Don't dream!"
"Could it be that the alchemist has to use a fire stick to reach the level of the third grade?
"Isn't it, I'll know when Jin Daotu comes down to compete with him in a while!"
"How do you know that Jin Daotu will be out of the competition in a while?"
"Nonsense, a seven-year-old child against a forty-year-old third-grade alchemist, you should be able to calculate who wins and who loses if you break your fingers!"
"Come on, I don't think Gu Jun will necessarily lose! You see, he has already successfully refined three pills! And the third-grade alchemist who came to kick the Cloud Body Sect has just started refining the third one!"
"Come on, come on, bet a handful of bets, Gu Junsheng loses a thousand, does anyone dare to bet?"
......
In the second round of competition, although Gu Jun successfully refined two detoxification pills at the same time, the time was slightly longer, and it took a pillar and a half of incense. At this time, Li Rancheng was already refining the third detoxification pill, if Gu Jun didn't speed up in the third round of testing, it was very likely that he would not be able to complete the third round of refining when the three pillars of incense burned out. In that case, there would only be three detoxification pills he could take out. And Li Rancheng continued to refine at the current speed, and when the three-pillar incense was burned, he would be able to take out at least four antidote pills.
Now Gu Jun needs to make a choice.
If you are steady and steady, refining only one pill in the third round, with your own speed, you will definitely be able to refine the fourth antidote pill before the third incense burns out. In this way, you can have a draw with Li Rancheng.
But if he wants to win against Li Rancheng, unless he can speed up the alchemy in the third round and complete the third round of alchemy before the three incense sticks are burned, he will lose.
What kind of refining method is going to be used in this third round of competition?
Than a tie can not highlight the advantage of being able to refine the pill with both hands at the same time, and only by winning can he really justify the first place he gets.
Even if one accidentally loses this match, it is not much different from a tie. If you want to become a wealth boy, you have to win!
Gu Jun, who had made up his mind, began to study how to improve the speed of alchemy with his hands.
The speed of the right hand is already faster than the speed of the left hand, but the left hand does not have the right hand with it, and there will be chaos and lead to the failure of alchemy. In this case, the only way to do this is to increase the speed of your left hand.
Then the left hand will refine the pill first, and then the right hand will follow. As long as you use your right hand to drive away your left hand during alchemy, it should be faster than the last time.
Gu Jun rubbed his temples and said to himself: "The right hand comes first, and the left hand is the stupid bird that flies first, and the right hand completes the alchemy ...... at the same time."
Gu Jun took his right hand on his back, only used his left hand to alchemy, and concentrated on the Dan furnace that his left hand reached into, but when the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace turned into liquid medicine for melting, Gu Jun probed his right hand into the Dan furnace on the right, but he did not suppress the flame heart after entering the furnace like his left hand, but provoked the outer flame to fight back against his right hand more violently, burning the medicinal materials in his right hand more hotly, so as to speed up the speed of alchemy in his right hand, so as to catch up with the pace of alchemy in his left hand.
In this way, Gu Jun's left hand methodically refined an antidote pill, and the time taken was about the same as the time it took to refine a detoxification pill with both hands, and the right hand also accelerated the speed of alchemy because of the external flame, but the color of the refined detoxification pill was black, obviously the fire was too big, but fortunately, it was a pill and was not scorched.
At the end of the three incense sticks, Xiao Gujun presented five detoxification pills, while Li Rancheng only presented four detoxification pills.
"Gu Jun, the quality of this elixir is really poor! Whether it is in terms of color, texture or roundness, it is my elixir that is better. I can't lose this contest!"
Li Rancheng was angry when he saw that he had lost one in quantity, and when he saw that Liu Fuyang was about to announce the results of the competition with a smile on his face, he was the first to snatch the plate containing the pill in his hand, and quickly walked to the masses to show it to the masses, shouting in his mouth: "This pill that wants quantity but not quality is a waste product! It is a waste of materials at all! Can this detoxification pill still be called an antidote pill? Everyone look at the color of this fifth piece, it is as black as black charcoal! I am afraid that if you eat it, you will not be able to detoxify it, and you may be poisoned to death!"
Liu Fuyang has never seen such a shameless man as Li Rancheng, so the moment the plate in his hand was robbed, he was really stunned! Now seeing Li Rancheng snatching the plate and showing it to the people of Lizhou, he was very angry in his heart, and he touched the sword on his waist with his right hand, and was about to pull it out and kill Liu Fuyang, but Jin Daotu on the side stopped him, shook his head gently at Liu Fuyang, and then said aloud with a light face: " Well, this competition is more than who has refined the most detoxification pills at the same time, and now Gu Jun has refined five, and you claim to be a third-grade alchemist but only refined four, and now you are making irresponsible remarks about the results of this competition, is it possible that you have to regret it in front of the people of Quanlizhou?"
"Hmph! You're right! The content of the competition is indeed more than who has refined the most detoxification pills at the same time. But can you guarantee that the five pills that Gu Jun refined are the detoxification pills? If one of them is not, how can he be regarded as beating me?"
"It's really a strong word! This medicinal herb is prepared the same, when Gu Jun was refining, the people of Quanli Prefecture were watching here, can he steal the beam and change the pillar?"
"He can't do it if he can't detoxify the detoxification pill he refined, it can't be regarded as an antidote pill! This scorched black pill has obviously been destroyed by the flames in the Dan furnace, and the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials have been destroyed, but it is just a black ash pill made of residue, how can it be regarded as an antidote pill?"
"You!"
Jin Daotu was actually beating a drum in his heart, this black ash pill was indeed scorched by the fire, and he really couldn't see if there was an antidote pill inside. If Li Rancheng grasps this point, I am afraid that Gu Jun will not be able to win this competition. But even if Gu Jun didn't win, he didn't lose.
"Even if this black ash pill is not an antidote pill, but there is no problem with the other four detoxification pills, you are just a three-grade alchemist who is just a tie with a seven-year-old child. In time, this kid's alchemy skills will definitely far surpass yours. Can you admit it?"
“......”
With such a question, Li Rancheng, who asked, was speechless, he stared at Jin Daotu, and there was unspeakable pain in his heart. If it hadn't been for the seven-year-old Gu Jun halfway, he would have won the Golden Dao Diagram by now. His own multi-flame refining pill was extremely fast, and Jin Daotu couldn't compare to him no matter what. Once Jin Daotu was defeated, he would naturally become the No. 1 alchemist in Lizhou, and he would naturally be reused by Prince Li, and from then on, he would gain fame and fortune.
But now, he doesn't even have a chance to fight Jin Daotu, how can he not be depressed, how can he not be depressed?
At this moment, the tidal wave of laughter in his ears really made him very embarrassed, and he glanced at the concubine Li on the high stands, and saw that she was glaring at herself, and knew that it was impossible to enter the palace this time, so he retreated, ignored everyone, and turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
