"This is the end of this competition, and the fifth round is scheduled for half a month later," Jiang Sheng said in a loud voice as he looked at the alchemists standing on the stage under the stage.
Lu Zhe looked around and was shocked to find that there were less than 30 people left in the entire arena, and more than 120 people were eliminated at once in the competition just now, which was a world of difference compared to the earliest number.
After Jiang Sheng announced the time of the fifth round of the competition, he walked down the stage with Yao Shouyi and the rest of the judges and came to a spacious house, the house was very large, at least able to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and a large table was placed in the middle of the house, and at this moment, the attendants were opening the medicine bottles containing the pills one by one in a neat row on it, this house and this table were for the judges to review the pills.
After Yao Shouyi, Jiang Sheng and the others came to the house, they performed their duties, and everyone except Yao Shouyi came to the table to open the medicine bottle, poured out the pills and began to review them one by one.
Yao Shouyi stroked his beard, and suddenly said: Bring all the prescriptions they wrote.
A woman dressed in an alchemist's robe came to Yao Shouyi with a silver plate, and then respectfully held the silver plate up. Yao Shouyi looked at it and saw a pile of paper on the silver plate, which must be the prescription of the Qiangxin Pill.
Yao Shouyi picked up all the prescriptions and then found a table to sit down, put all the prescriptions in his hand on the table, and then picked them up one by one to review them.
Time passed minute by minute, and within half an hour, Jiang Sheng and the others had already reviewed most of the pills, of which there were as many as seven or eight bottles of unqualified ones. This is still Yao Shouyi lowered the audit standards, if it is according to the normal audit standards, it is estimated that there are more than so few.
"Well, yes, not bad," Yao Shouyi praised again and again while holding a prescription.
His words of appreciation immediately attracted everyone who were reviewing the pills on the side, and everyone collectively looked at Yao Shouyi, only to see that this old man, who usually does not smile, was smiling happily at the moment, as if he had encountered something good.
Yao Shouyi felt everyone's gaze, looked up at Jiang Sheng and the others in front of him, and beckoned to them. smiled and said: Don't review the pill yet. Come here, I'll show you something.
Jiang Sheng and the others were all stunned when they heard Yao Shouyi's words, and then looked at each other, although they all felt puzzled and puzzled. But no one dared to disobey Yao Shouyi's words. I had to put down the work in my hand and walk towards Yao Shouyi.
Yao Shouyi slapped the prescription in his hand on the table in front of him. Dao: Let's take a look.
Jiang Sheng was the first to walk to the table, he picked up the prescription on the table, and everyone gathered around. Then everyone was collectively shocked.
This is a prescription for the Strengthening Heart Pill, and I saw that the refining method and solution to the problem and precautions were written in detail on this prescription with the 'Lingfei Sutra'. Regardless of whether the prescription is right or wrong, it is rare to have a good hand, only to see that the font is exquisite, the gesture is round, and the words between the lines faintly reveal a domineering spirit that is only self-respecting.
Jiang Sheng and the others all gasped slightly after seeing this domineering prescription, and said in surprise: Good words, really good words.
Yao Shouyi picked up the teacup on the table and said with a smile: That's right, it's a good thing. Then he pointed to the prescription while drinking his tea, and said, "Let's see what the prescription says, right?"
Jiang Sheng and the others hurriedly looked at the prescription after hearing Yao Shouyi's words, and after a while, everyone gasped again, this person not only wrote well, but also made people feel amazed and admired, only to see that the refining methods and precautions of the Qiangxin Pill recorded on this prescription were not only correct and detailed, but also very concise, concise and to the point, almost every word was fine. The whole prescription is written without adding points, and it is done in one go.
"Good, good, good ......" Jiang Sheng looked at the prescription in his hand and exclaimed loudly. The rest of the judges behind him chimed in.
Yao Shouyi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "The person who wrote this prescription is really a genius, I really don't know who the person who wrote this prescription is?
As soon as Yao Shouyi's words fell, a man in an alchemist's robe came over and said, "President Hui, this prescription was written by contestant No. 168.
Yao Shouyi stroked his beard and nodded after hearing the man's report, and then asked: Then who is this one hundred and sixty-eighth contestant?
After hearing Yao Shouyi's words, the man took out a stack of paper from the table, which was the roster of participants in this conference, flipped through it, and the man quickly turned to the page of the 168th contestant, put it away and handed it to Yao Shouyi.
Yao Shouyi took the roster and looked at it, and was suddenly surprised, he never thought that the No. 168 contestant turned out to be Lu Zhe!
"It turned out to be him!" Yao Shouyi looked at Lu Zhe's registration information and said in shock.
After Jiang Sheng and the others heard Yao Shouyi's words, they went around the table and came behind him, and looked at the roster, and everyone's faces changed in unison, and the person who wrote this exquisite prescription turned out to be only a young man under the age of twenty.
"This ......" Everyone looked at Lu Zhe's registration information, and they didn't know what to say for a while. You must know that the prescription is so detailed that even they, the fifth and sixth high-level alchemists, may not be able to write it, but now it has been written by a young man who is not more than twenty years old, which is undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face, making them lose face.
Yao Shouyi didn't pay attention to what the people behind him thought, but looked at Lu Zhe's registration information intently, he was now more and more interested in this kid full of mysteries, even beyond Ziche Qianqin. Being able to write such a detailed and formal prescription shows that this young man is definitely not a general, and then Yao Shouyi's eyes fell on Master Lu Zhe's column, only to see that what was written in this column was the word 'none'. Looking at the word 'none', a smile appeared on the corner of Yao Shouyi's mouth, and said: "I really want to know which master from outside the world can teach such an excellent apprentice." Suddenly, Yao Shouyi seemed to remember something, a shocked and incredulous expression appeared on his face, his eyes looked directly at Lu Zhe's information, and he said in shock: This is impossible, this is impossible, how can he be the apprentice of the old doctor? But ....... He thought about it for a while, and found that if Lu Zhe was the apprentice of the old doctor, then a series of things such as the sudden visit of the old doctor to this southwestern frontier and the fact that he was able to write such a detailed and regular prescription at a young age could be explained.
Yao Shouyi looked at Lu Zhe's registration information and muttered to himself: If he is really the apprentice of the old doctor, then why does he want to participate in this kind of local alchemist conference? Isn't it okay to go directly to the Dan Mansion for further study? What is the old doctor planning? Alas, life is really impermanent, and the world is unpredictable.
............
Lu Zhe and Ya Yan sat in the rest hall waiting for the results of the pill review, their eyes swept over the huge rest hall, Lu Zhe found that this place had become empty, only dozens of people were sitting or standing in front of them, their faces were full of nervousness at this moment, and some of them were pacing back and forth because of this, showing anxiety. Among these people, only Ziche Qianqin is still sitting there calmly reading, and from time to time she brushes the hair that falls in front of her.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Zhe sighed softly, and Ya Yan asked with concern: What's the matter?
Lu Zhe shook his head and said, "It's nothing, senior sister."
Ya Qian saw that Lu Zhe seemed to have something unspeakable, although he wanted to ask but he still held back, he knew Lu Zhe's temperament, and he would never say anything he didn't want to say, no matter what method you used, he wouldn't make him speak.
In this way, about half an hour later, Jiang Sheng's loud voice came into the rest hall:
"Please gather at the arena and we will announce the results of the review soon"
After hearing this, some alchemists who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly walked towards the arena, and Lu Zhe also stood up from his chair and followed the crowd towards the arena.
Coming to the arena, Jiang Sheng and Yao Shouyi were already sitting on the judges' seats at the front of the arena, Jiang Sheng held a scroll in his hand, and after confirming that the contestants had arrived, Jiang Sheng began to read out the results of the review slowly but forcefully:
"Those who fail to refine the elixir, No. 22, No. 50, No. 60, No. 110, No. 150, No. 310, No. 320, ......"
Jiang Sheng read the numbers of about a dozen people in one go, and among the numbers he read, fortunately there was no Lu Zhe's number, which made Lu Zhe's hanging heart finally let go.
"Great," Lu Zhechang breathed a sigh of relief and said with some fear.
Yao Shouyi looked at Lu Zhe, who was breathing a sigh of relief in the audience, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. (To be continued......)
