Chapter 186: Medicinal Herbs to Confuse the Public
"Hey, hey, they're gone. You'er's lazy voice appeared in Lu Qingming's mind, waking him up who was contemplating, and when he looked up, there was only a fog, and there was only a faint fragrance of beauty in the air, and she had already left.
"Why don't you help me find her place?" Lu Qingming asked a little dejectedly.
"This is the will of God, conform to the will of God, there is a way to live, and what is the current separation. You'er said, her tone was a little nostalgic, but Lu Qingming didn't hear it, "Do you think that looking for her and becoming a martial arts powerhouse can't be done at the same time?"
Lu Qingming's eyelids suddenly raised, expecting You'er to continue.
"Don't go with the order, go with the sky, it's God's will to see her today, but you go with the will, this is your own choice, I can't help you go against it, that's why I don't help you trace her tracks. You'er now said that she finally showed a little bit of a master's appearance, and even Lu Qingming listened to her as if she saw a benevolent person full of wisdom.
"I don't understand this, but you said you can't help me?" Lu Qingming said with some doubts.
"I advise you, if you see her again, don't let it go. I warn you as a woman, if you don't want to be responsible for her, cut off the relationship as soon as possible and treat her as a stranger. If you continue like this, I won't be able to spare you in the first place. You'er said in a threatening tone, but Lu Qingming didn't care, he thought about it for a while, then shook his head and responded, "I know." ”
After saying that, he resolutely turned around and walked in the direction of Gu Feng City without looking back.
In You'er's perception, Lu Qingming's figure was steady, and every step was full of murderous aura, she sighed softly helplessly, but the other party still didn't understand what she meant.
Soon, Lu Qingming came to Gu Feng City, at this time the morning fog had just dissipated, he came much earlier today than yesterday, but the city gate was open, he already knew yesterday, Gu Feng City from today, in order to facilitate the progress of the alchemy conference, the city gate will not be closed day and night.
"Today is the second round of the competition, tomorrow is the third round of the competition, that is, the finals, after these two days, I will retreat and participate in the battle spirit swordsmanship, and after the enlightenment, I will leave this place. Lu Qingming immediately made plans for his future itinerary, as for Lin Qin's matter, as You'er said, he will follow his providence, if there is a fate, he will see her again one day.
He stepped into the city in a few steps, and went directly to the venue of the alchemy conference, it was his usual style to rush early, even if he stayed there for a long time, he still had to feel that his destination was waiting early.
Sure enough, there were almost no people in the venue, only a few workers in the venue were cleaning the floor and arranging the seats. Only sparse sounds could be heard throughout the venue.
The sound of his footsteps was extremely loud in this situation, and the people inside already knew that someone had arrived before they had even entered the venue, so they were all a little surprised, surprised that there were other people besides himself and others who had come so early.
Waiting, it's long, it's boring, after he sat down, he closed his eyes directly in place, as if he was asleep, but in fact he wasn't, he was cultivating all the time, and now he was in the middle of the Ning Yuan Realm, and he could keep practicing Qi until he practiced the True Yuan to the peak of the middle stage.
When the earth first showed light, the sky dawned very quickly, and unconsciously, people had come to the venue one after another, Lu Qingming closed his eyes, and only felt that the popularity around him was getting stronger and stronger, and the fluctuations of spiritual power were becoming more and more intensive, and even people walked by from time to time.
"This man came so early. Some people came together, especially the audience, the first person to arrive after Lu Qingming was a pair of friends, they were very surprised to see Lu Qingming, and they only smiled bitterly: "I thought we came early enough, but I didn't expect there to be earlier." ”
I don't know how long it took, but when Lu Qingming heard the voice of President Jing yesterday, he slowly opened his eyes. Maybe it's because yesterday's murder was too exciting, or maybe it's because I was too tired from visiting the city yesterday, Ling Meng'er didn't come today, and she was still on the bed when she wanted to come.
There was another flurry of nonsense, and the conference began to get to the point.
"Today's competition is a real competition to refine the elixir, the second round of the competition is not as good as the first round, it is divided into three stages, the first stage is to refine medicinal materials, the second stage is to refine the elixir, and the third stage is to Ladan , each stage must meet the required standards, and the time of the first two stages is a total of five hours. "Quasi-Intermediate Heavenly Master Suo Lao is still today's support and referee, and what he said at this time is exactly the requirements of today's competition, "The materials given are fifty copies, the first stage must be completed within half an hour to be qualified, and the second stage must be completed within four hours." As for the last stage, Ladan requires that the number of elixirs that can be refined in the end must reach more than thirty-five, that is, the rate of elixir is at least seventy. ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the junior Heavenly Masters who only practiced the Qi Realm suddenly turned pale, and at the same level, the alchemy Heavenly Masters with high cultivation had a higher rate of refining the spirit pill than those with low cultivation, and it was these Qi Cultivation Realm who were at a disadvantage in this competition.
The younger generation almost lost confidence immediately, and only the four young generations who were in the limelight in the first round did not change in the slightest. Tian Xingyun's face of the Yiling Sect was still arrogant and extremely confident, Qin Haohe only smiled slightly, and then smiled, his eyes swept towards Lu Qingming, the other party was still indifferent, and yesterday, another young man named Xi Yongchang, who had better grades than Lu Qingming, always had a gentle smile on his face.
President Jing took in the changes in everyone, especially the four younger generations, nodded slightly, and retracted his gaze after signaling Suo Lao.
Suo Lao nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then the competition will be held in the center of the venue, everyone has also seen it, there are two hundred and thirty-seven tables in the center of the venue, and all fifty medicinal materials are in the spirit ring above, and the alchemy furnace is prepared by itself, now it depends on the performance of the heavenly masters." ”
After saying the same thing, the competition began, and all the contestants quickly found their corresponding tables.
Lu Qingming came here early in the morning, naturally watching the workers arrange the table, no one could approach the whole process, and the periphery was also covered by a layer of formation, making it impossible for people outside to detect through divine sense. It's an absolutely fair competition.
There was no explanation on the table about what elixir to refine, he glanced at the spirit ring containing medicinal materials, and then looked at the stand, only to see Suo Lao smiling, but he didn't mean to say anything.
"Do you distinguish the medicinal materials yourself to determine the elixir you are required to refine?" his eyes were faint, knowing the purpose of President Jing's setting up this competition, he only smiled slightly, without the slightest surprise or surprise.
"Hundred-year-old Golden Vine, Hui Spirit Flower, Three-Turn Spirit Fruit......" Lu Qingming smiled in his heart the more he looked at it, "Sure enough, the second round requires such a high Dan rate It is definitely impossible to be a high-grade spirit pill, and the ordinary second-grade spirit pill True Yuan Pill is just the best choice." ”
There wasn't much time for them to identify the medicinal materials, so as soon as Lu Qingming was sure that it was refining the True Yuan Pill, he immediately took out the alchemy furnace and prepared the first step to refine the medicinal materials. However, his divine sense swept over, and suddenly stopped on a medicinal herb in the spirit ring, and his brows couldn't help frowning, and he took out the medicinal herb.
"Wind Bell Moon Grass?" Lu Qingming was a little surprised, "How can this be?
He swept the medicinal materials in the spirit ring again, and there was no mistake, it was all the medicinal materials that the True Yuan Pill needed, but why did only one medicinal material appear that should not appear.
Looking up, most of the people who had a clue were like him, including the older generation, frowning and looking at the same medicinal materials in their hands, thinking that they had encountered the same problem as him. I don't know why, his gaze involuntarily looked at the other three peers, and like him, Qin Haohe and Xi Yongchang both stopped their hands and looked at the wind bell moon grass and frowned.
It's just that Tian Xingyun is different, he actually started to light the fire as soon as he was in a hurry.
Could it be that his herbs didn't have this flavor in them, or had he already thought that this was the prescription for some other elixir?
Lu Qingming's brows still couldn't be dispersed, he habitually glanced at the other party's desktop, and caught a glimpse of an isolated medicinal herb on the left hand, he suddenly frowned, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he understood.
Open the furnace, light the fire, start the furnace.
"Alchemy Heavenly Master, you must believe in your gaze, don't be confused by external objects, this strain is used to confuse the public. He clearly understood in his heart, and his hands moved quickly, "What is required to be refined is still the True Yuan Pill, but it is not necessary to use all the medicinal materials provided." ”
The star flame ignited in the Dan furnace in an instant, Lu Qingming was not the second to start the furnace, the second was an old man, the old man who was in the same room as him that day.
Huhuhu~
The sound of the fire began to appear one after another, some of the people were pale and very calm, and the side of these people, without exception, had fifty bells and moongrasses around them, but the other medicinal materials were still placed in the spirit ring. But the other part was not calm, before they started the alchemy, they already had a little bead of sweat on their foreheads, took out the medicinal materials in the spirit ring and put them in the Dan furnace to refine, and the table was empty except for some bottles that would be used to hold the essence of the medicinal materials, and there was nothing else.
"Half an hour, it is indeed too short, not everyone can determine the intention of the questioner and refine the medicinal materials within this time period, even if it is refined, if he adds the wrong Wind Chime Moon Grass together, then he is destined to not be able to refine the True Yuan Dan. Lu Qingming's hand was fast, but he still felt that time was tight, and refining fifty medicinal herbs in half an hour was really not easy.
The flame in the alchemy furnace was mild, and he controlled it at an appropriate level, and the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace also began to shrink, and the medicinal juice flowed out little by little. The liquid that flowed out was quickly wrapped in another fire by him and slowly refined.
