Chapter Seventy-Four: Rising to Two Tripods in a Row
TMD's, today's power outage stopped until more than seven o'clock, and I don't know what's going on, the road is jammed longer than the train, I really don't know how the power bureau did it, I paid the electricity bill. Depressed............
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The alchemy assessment passed minute by minute, and as time passed, many people had to quit in decadence because they had not mastered the fire and all the herbs were burned. Throughout the audience, there were only a few eleven people, including Lu Zhe, but the third princess of the royal family and the short-silver-haired woman named Ruoya remained in the venue.
As time passed, two more people left the stage because they didn't have a good grasp of the heat, and looked at the funnel on the platform, which had already missed two-thirds of the sand, that is, Lu Zhe still had one-third of the funnel left.
Lu Zhe opened his soul power to the maximum at this moment, and watched the situation of the pill in the ding all the time, he had already refined the five herbs, if the herb in the ding was refined, there would only be the last step, and it was also the most difficult step, Rong Dan!
It is not an exaggeration to describe Lu Zhe as sweaty at the moment, his hands touched the medicine tripod tightly, and the sweat on his forehead fell like beads of broken threads, wetting his collar and back.
With Lu Zhe's refining, the herbs in the ding slowly withered as if the water had been squeezed dry, and with the addition of Lu Zhe's spiritual power and the control of the soul, the herbs began to shrink from withering to shrinking together, and then with the tumbling of the flames, the herbs slowly turned into a cluster of powder.
"Okay" Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the herb turn into powder, and said silently in his heart.
Just when Lu Zhe was relieved, due to distraction, the soul power of the guide was not controlled, and the temperature of the flame increased, and the cluster of refined powder was burned in an instant.
Lu Zhe was shocked and hurriedly controlled the temperature of the flame to drop down, but it was too late, and what appeared in Lu Zhe's mind was a cluster of roasted charred things.
"Damn" Lu Zhe scolded secretly in his heart, and then with a wave of his hand, he discharged the cluster of roasted charred things from the waste outlet.
Retracting his mind, Lu Zhe took a long breath, then exhaled gently, stabilized his mind for a moment, then looked at the herbs on the table, picked up the same herbs that had failed to refine just now and threw them into the ding, took a deep breath, and refined.
This refining Lu Zhe can be said to be engrossed, not daring to be distracted at all, just now due to the wrong grasp of the fire, the guide zhì burned five kinds of medicinal herbs, Lu Zhe just counted it, now the only remaining medicinal herbs may only be able to refine one pill, and now Lu Zhe is really desperate.
Beads of sweat the size of beans secreted from his forehead, Lu Zhe's breathing accelerated, his brows furrowed, and all his soul power poured into the ding, staring intently at the herbs tumbling in the fire.
As the tongue of fire swallowed, the herbs that were tumbling in the flames slowly withered, and finally turned into a cluster of powder.
"Get up!" Lu Zhe shouted, slapped his body violently, and the cluster of medicinal powder that was tumbling in the flames was dragged out by Lu Zhe with his soul power, and finally fell into the bottle that had been prepared on the table.
"Whew" Lu Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the strength of his whole body had been exhausted, and he collapsed.
Wiping the beads of sweat off his forehead, Lu Zhe took a deep breath, and glanced at the bottle of funnel on the table out of the corner of his eye. At this moment, less than a quarter of that bottle of funnel was left, that was to say, Lu Zhe only had one chance to melt the pill.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhe looked at the medicine bottles in front of him that were neatly arranged in order, and then quickly poured the medicine in the medicine bottles into the Ding in order, the most important step, Rong Dan began!
Lu Zhe was engrossed in pouring all his soul power into the ding, and then looked intently at the clumps of liquid or medicinal powder inside the ding, urging them to start fuse.
Outside, Odyssey looked at Lu Zhe with a frown, his hand kept stroking his white beard back and forth, and behind him, the middle-aged man stood respectfully behind him with a roster in his hand.
For a moment, Odysse took a light breath, and then exhaled, but he still didn't speak, just kept staring at Lu Zhe.
The middle-aged man behind him couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward and asked, "Vice President, what's wrong with you?"
Odysse looked at him, smiled, and said, "I saw a good seedling."
"Is it the kid whose name is Lu Zhe?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Hmm" Odysse nodded with a smile, then thought for a moment and said: Put him on the list of key training.
The middle-aged man behind him was stunned when he heard this, then hesitated for a while and said: This is ...... It's not good, if you want to enter the key cultivation list, you have to be approved by the adult himself, you .......
Odyssey raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, I'll go and say that old guy, you just do yours."
"Yes," the middle-aged man behind him nodded.
Odyssey nodded and continued to stare at Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe really can't be thundered at this moment, even if there is thunder outside, I am afraid it will not affect him, I saw that his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and the beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and dripped down, and finally formed a small dot on the ground.
The pills in the Ding have been slowly fused together under the urging of Lu Zhe's soul power, and with the addition and adjustment of Lu Zhe's soul power, they have rubbed each other together, and they have already mixed together.
After the fusion is completed, there is only the last step that is called the watershed, and it is a Dan! What? You ask why this step is called a "watershed". It's very simple, if you succeed in this step, congratulations, you have completed this elixir. If something goes wrong, I'm sorry, but all the qiē you've refined will be wasted, and you'll be back to square one.
At this moment, Lu Zhe's hands were already trembling slightly because of nervousness, and with the infusion and adjustment of his soul power, the mixed medicinal liquid and medicinal powder had slowly formed, and a pill was about to be born!
Lu Zhe didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, he still increased the output of the soul power to adjust the elixir, this elixir has begun to take shape, one more step hard, he can enter the hall of alchemist, and he can become the alchemist admired by ten thousand people!
With the infusion of Lu Zhe's soul power as an adjustment, the embryonic pill began to rotate slowly, and as the pill rotated, the surrounding liquid or powder that had not been fused into it also began to slowly integrate into the pill, and with the integration of the elixir, the pill also began to float out a vague medicinal fragrance.
Suddenly, Lu Zhemeng opened his eyes, and his right hand slapped on the medicine tripod, and suddenly, the medicine tripod made a "hum" sound, and the tripod lid flew in response, and a brown light rose from the top of the tripod, and then drew a graceful arc in the sky and fell into Lu Zhe's palm.
Sniffing the pill in his hand, Lu Zhe's tense face finally showed a smile.
Not long after Lu Zhe refined the pill, the rest of the people also refined the pill one after another, but Lu Zhe saw that there were less than ten people left, and it seemed that this alchemist was really not easy to be.
Put the pill in his hand into the bottle, and then hand it to a maid, who put the pills of all the people below on a plate, and then marked it and brought it to the old man at the top.
The old man took the plate with a smile on his face, then opened the caps of the bottles one by one, and sniffed them one by one.
The old man sniffed the three bottles in turn, smiling, but when he smelled the fourth bottle, his brows furrowed, and he sniffed it again, with an ugly face, raised the bottle, and said, "Who made this?"
The person on the left of Lu Zhe in the audience: Yes, it's me.
"What kind of thing are you refining? Is this poison? Is this for people to eat? Not to mention healing, I'm afraid it will get worse if people eat your medicine, you have been removed, you can go" Odysse was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the bottle of medicine, and scolded all the time.
When the man heard this, he muttered a few words as if he was dissatisfied with something, and then left the examination room.
After a pause, Odysse continued to sniff. When he smelled Lu Zhe's bottle, he frowned again, and as just now, he lowered his body and sniffed it again, and then lifted Lu Zhe's bottle and said: Who is this?
Lu Zhe was shocked, and secretly said to himself: Is there something wrong with my medicine? But he still replied: It's mine.
The old man put down the bottle of medicine, touched his beard, and obviously muttered something, and then only listened to him: Who is your master?
Lu Zhe was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Why do you ask this", but he still replied: Master, he has been in hiding for a long time, and when he came out, Master told him not to tell his name, which, as a disciple, I really dare not disobey.
Lu Zhe was right, before he came, the old doctor Zeng Qianqian told him that if someone asks him, he must not say his name, otherwise there will be some unnecessary trouble.
Odysse touched his beard and said, "In this way, then I won't force you, but I really want to know who can teach such an excellent apprentice as you, this "healing pill" you refined is the best elixir that the old man has ever seen in my life.
The people in the audience were booed when they heard this, and everyone looked at Lu Zhe with admiration, which naturally included the thirteenth princess of the emperor and the cold beauty Ruoya, but Ruoya's eyes seemed to be mixed with a trace of jealousy?
Odyssey sniffed it in turn, and finally he stood still, touched his white beard, smiled, and said, "Congratulations, you can become an alchemist."
The people in the audience cheered, and even the iceberg beauty Ruoya showed a smile on her face.
Just when everyone was cheering, Lu Zhe raised his hand, and Odyssey frowned slightly when he saw it, and asked puzzledly: Do you have anything?
"May I ask where is the two alchemists?" Lu Zhe said in a calm tone.
Offstage, there was a sudden silence, and even Odyssey on the stage and the middle-aged man behind him were dumbfounded.
"You, what did you say?" asked Odeus, a little surprised.
"Where is the examination room for the two alchemists?" Lu Zhe repeated.
There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone, including Odyssey and the middle-aged people, cast shocked eyes on Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe was uncomfortable when he was watched, scratched his head, and said: No, can't you?
Odyssey came back to his senses and hurriedly said: Yes, yes. After a while, he paused, muttered a few words to the people behind him, turned around, and said with a smile on his face: If you want to take the two alchemists, you must go to the house next door.
Lu Zhe let out an "oh" and prepared to leave.
Odysse came down from the platform in a few steps, came to Lu Zhe's side, and said, "I'll go with you."
After speaking, he and Lu Zhe pushed open the door next door.
Everyone in the audience was stunned, but the difference was that the iceberg beauty Ruoya looked at the door of the next room with a slight frown.
After a long time, Lu Zhe and Odysse came out together, Lu Zhe was full of smiles, and Odyssey was not only surprised, but also full of smiles.
Seeing the crowd of people standing outside, Odysse coughed and said, "This Lu Zhe Xiaoyou has passed the assessment of the two tripod alchemists, and has become the youngest two tripod alchemists in our Oga Empire from the founding office to the present!"
The audience was stunned.
Odyssey didn't care what the people in the audience thought, turned his head to Lu Zhe and said: You go to the study on the top floor with me now, someone wants to see you.
Lu Zhe asked puzzledly: Who is it?
"Our president, Mr. Bai Wenbo," Odeus softly said the names of all the alchemists in the Oga Empire.
