In the teahouse not far from Mei Jiadan Pharmacy, Mei Ruofeng and her daughter Mei Li sat by the window, neither of them was interested in tasting tea, and their eyes looked at the crowd opposite.

Hundreds of people surrounded the outside of the Dan Pharmacy, blocking a long stretch of the street.

"Father, should it be fine?" asked Melly, a little worried.

Mei Ruofeng frowned and said, "With a two-pronged approach, there should be no problem." ”

At this time, Merlin hurriedly climbed to the second floor, walked over and poured a cup of tea into his mouth, and said, "The latest situation is that Ye Yunyang defeated Master Ma's apprentice Meng Chengtian. ”

"What, how is this possible?" Mei Ruofeng said with a glare.

Mei Li also expressed disbelief: "Meng Chengtian is a little famous in the alchemy world, he has been apprenticed for more than ten years, and he has been praised by Ma Shangfeng many times for his understanding, how could he lose to Ye Yunyang?"

Merlin smiled bitterly and said, "Not only is it defeated, but it is also defeated." The two of them fought the pill and refined the Gathering Spirit Saint Yuan Pill, but as a result, he refined seventeen in one furnace, and Ye Yunyang refined twenty. ”

"Twenty!" Mei Ruofeng gasped and asked in a deep voice, "What about the current situation?"

"Master Ma Shangfeng personally came forward to save face for his apprentice, in fact, Meng Chengtian made a bet with Ye Yunyang before Doudan, and if he lost, he had to kowtow to the other party to admit his mistake, and he was relied on by Master Ma. Merlin elaborated on what he had heard.

Mei Ruofeng expressed serious doubts, how could a lowly person from the Holy Heaven Continent have such a strong alchemy strength?

Mei Li asked again, "What about Elder Cui, my father and I just saw him bring people into the store, why didn't anything happen?"

It was she who personally sent someone to the Presbyterian Church to report that Meijiadan Pharmacy was selling pills of unknown origin without authorization, using low prices as a starting point to deceive customers who did not know the truth.

After receiving such a report, Elder Cui felt that the matter was very serious, so he personally brought someone over to check on it.

Merlin said a little helplessly: "When Elder Cui entered, Ye Yunyang and Master Ma had already started to fight Dan, so he didn't say anything, just stood there and watched quietly, and ...... It can be seen that he has great admiration for Ye Yunyang. ”

"What then?" said Melly.

Mei Ruofeng said in a deep voice: "Don't be impatient, Ye Yunyang can win against Meng Chengtian, but he will definitely lose to Master Ma, and at that time, Elder Cui will attack him, and Mei Jiadan Pharmacy will have no chance of turning over." ”

Hearing what he said so confidently, Merlin and Melly nodded and sat quietly drinking tea.

In the pill pharmacy, Ma Shangfeng finished refining the pill, stood up straight with confidence, and looked at Ye Yunyang with a very meaningful gaze.

Ye Yunyang was not affected in any way, and increased the Xuan Force three times in a row, controlling the rotation of the pill in the furnace, separating the impurities, and the surface of the pill showed a wind erosion effect.

He slowly withdrew his power, the pill stopped spinning, and the pill furnace returned to its original color.

Ma Shangfeng first hugged his fists at Elder Cui and said, "The contemptible person was busy with alchemy just now, and he didn't greet Elder Cui, so he really shouldn't be." ”

Elder Cui waved his hand: "Alchemy is a sacred thing, it shouldn't be distracted, Master Ma did the right thing, there is no need to apologize to Elder Ben." ”

Mei Yu whispered Elder Cui's identity beside Ye Yunyang, and after listening, Ye Yunyang also hugged his fists: "Junior Holy Heaven Continent Ye Yunyang, meet Elder Cui!"

Elder Cui raised his eyebrows: "Young man, are you really from the Holy Heaven Continent?"

Ye Yunyang nodded: "Yes, the junior passed the assessment of the Yuhua Gate four days ago and obtained the natal badge, under the guidance of Miss Mei Yumei, he came to the Mei family as a guest, and happened to meet someone who poached their family's alchemist, and the store was in a state of no stock, so he dared to help Uncle Mei refine a batch of pills, but he was slandered as ill-intentioned, I think it is because some people are jealous of the Mei family's good business, so they came to find fault." ”

This refers to Sang scolding Huai, and Ma Shangfeng's old face turned red: "You are talking nonsense, I am a special-grade pill pharmacist, will I be blushing at a small pill pharmacy?"

Ye Yunyang replied: "It's not your words, what are you lacking in heart?

Elder Cui waved his hand, he didn't intend to participate in the dispute between the two, and said, "Since it is a Dou Dan and has also completed the refining, it should be shown and let everyone judge whose pill is better." ”

"As it should be. Onlookers expressed their opinions.

Ma Shangfeng took a deep breath and said, "Since Elder Cui has spoken, the contemptible people naturally have no opinion!" Meng Chengtian, you come and take out the elixir refined by the master. ”

"Obey!" Meng Chengtian recovered his previous spirit, because he felt that the master must have won, opened the lid of the Dan furnace, picked up the silver spoon and put it in.

The first spoonful scooped out eight pills, each of which was round and smooth, and everyone said that it was worthy of being from the master's hand, and it was definitely a top-grade pill.

The second spoonful was still eight pills, adding up to sixteen, which had already reached the highest level of an ordinary alchemist.

"There's a lot more in there. Meng Chengtian put the spoon into the furnace for the third time, and this time scooped out six pills.

Hiss!

The sound of gasping for cold air sounded, adding up to a total of twenty-two, two more than Ye Yunyang's twenty just now!

Twenty-two pills, more than ninety percent of the Cheng Dan rate, remove the water in the medicinal materials, the number of residues is almost negligible.

Ma Shangfeng does have two brushes, and an excellent alchemist can maximize the potential of medicinal materials and reduce the production of residues, no wonder he can become a grandmaster.

The praise came one after another, and even Elder Cui gave a thumbs up.

Everyone fell to Ma Shangfeng, feeling that Ye Yunyang would definitely be defeated.

Mei Yu didn't think so, she really wanted to say that Ye Yunyang could also reach a ninety percent Cheng Dan rate, but after all, he used a black pottery furnace, and if there was a little accident, the Cheng Dan rate would be affected.

So she wasn't sure, and began to pray silently in her heart.

Ye Yunyang was not in a hurry, waiting for everyone's praise to pause for a moment before he spoke: "It's my turn now, Xiaoyu, or you come." ”

Meiyu nodded and held up the silver spoon.

First scoop, six.

Second scoop, six.

The third scoop is still six.

The three times add up to eighteen pills, and each pill has a wind erosion effect on it, which looks unique compared to the smooth appearance of the pill on the silver plate next to it.

Mei Yu poked the silver spoon into the hearth one last time, and her eyes lit up.

Everyone speculated, could it be that he also had a ninety percent success rate?

It's unlikely, the black pottery furnace alone has already limited the alchemist's play, otherwise how could he only refine twenty just now.

Mei Yu scooped out three pills, and Meng Chengtian couldn't help but shout: "Master has won, kid surnamed Ye, I see what else you have to say, you want me to kowtow to you, don't dream! You lowly human race, you will not be allowed to refine the pill in the future!"

"As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, you're such a failure. Ye Yunyang shook his head and said.

At the same time, Mei Yu poked the silver spoon into the hearth again, and everyone was stunned.

Sure enough, there was only one this time.

Mei Yu did this on purpose, just like just now, there were obviously twenty of them, but she only scooped out seventeen of them, in order to induce Meng Chengtian to speak, and then pay herself in.

Meng Chengtian was completely dumbfounded, there were twenty-two of them, and what he said just now was tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

He hated himself for not being calm enough, and he fell for the rainy season twice in a row.

The shop became unusually quiet, although the two had a tie, but Ye Yunyang could get a ninety percent success rate with such a poor Dan furnace, in a sense, he was already better than Ma Shangfeng.

Furthermore, how old Ma Shangfeng is, how old he is, and how many years Ma Shangfeng has refined the pill, how long has he been refining.

Combining these three points, Ye Yunyang should win.

"I ask to be weighed!" Ma Shangfeng hurriedly shouted out before the final result was formed in everyone's hearts.

Ye Yunyang spread his hands: "Then weigh it." ”

The two sides fiddled with their own balances, and Meng Tiancheng took the lead in completing the weighing, saying: "Twenty pills have a total of eight taels and six and a half yuan, which is equivalent to 92 percent of the use rate of medicinal materials. ”

The use rate of medicinal materials is directly related to the cost of the pill, which is the point that alchemists pay the most attention to.

Mei Yu also finished weighing here, and said: "The total weight of our twenty-two pills is eight taels and three Qian No. 7, which is also a ninety-two percent utilization rate of medicinal materials, and those who don't believe it can calculate it on the spot." ”

People who are good at mental arithmetic quickly come up with the result: "That's right, it's 92 percent." ”

Meng Chengtian was dumbfounded again, and Ma Shangfeng was also dumbfounded, you must know that after Ye Yunyang's elixir has been eroded by the wind, the number of residues has increased, so that it can also reach a ninety-two percent utilization rate, if the wind erosion effect is not used, it should not be a problem to increase the ratio by one or two points.

In other words, in terms of usage rate, Ma Shangfeng lost one more chip, plus the three chips just now, a total of four chips.

It is clear which is better and which is inferior.

Everyone's eyes all looked at Ye Yunyang, with envy, jealousy, and reverence.

It's more about reverence, alchemy is a secret art in the divine realm, and high-level alchemists have a high social status, so it's normal to be revered.

Ma Shangfeng's old face was flushed, it is understandable that the apprentice was defeated, it can be said that the apprentice is not good at learning, and he will continue to work hard in the future, but even he who is a master has been defeated, how can he teach and accept apprentices?

The most important thing is that so many people are watching, where is his face resting.

Meng Chengtian didn't pay attention at all, and asked with a sad face: "Master, what should I do?"

Originally, I came to find fault, who wanted to end up being a wedding dress for someone else, so that the other party stepped on his head and ascended to a higher position, which is called more than worth the loss.

Elder Cui, who had been silent, spoke: "Since the matter has come to this point, even if it is over, Elder Ben announced ......"

"Wait!" Ma Shangfeng was very polite, interrupted Elder Cui's words, and said: "I ask to test the effect of the pill, what is the pill rate, the usage rate, these are all things that float on the surface, the most important thing is the pill itself, if its own level is not high, everything else is in vain!"

Elder Cui frowned, with an obvious strangeness in his eyes, and said, "Master Ma, do you really want to test the grade of the elixir?"

Ma Shangfeng said with a straight face: "Of course, it just so happens that Elder Cui and the people from the Council of Elders are here, presumably you have a detector with you, and you just happened to conduct the test in front of everyone, and you will come out in a high and low." ”

Elder Cui kept the strangeness in his eyes, turned his head and asked Mei Ruogu: "Shopkeeper Mei, Master Ma insists, what do you say?"

Mei Ruogu was very relieved of the quality of the pill, and said, "Then let's test it, some people in the province say that our family's pill is not good." ”

Elder Cui's expression turned into a wry smile, and he turned his head to look at Ma Shangfeng and said, "Okay, since both sides have no opinions, then test the grades of the two pills on the spot." ”

Looking at his strange expression, Ma Shangfeng felt a little uncertain in his heart, he didn't know what Elder Cui wanted to express.

But the matter has come to this, for the sake of his reputation, the detection level is the last choice, and the only choice, he gritted his teeth and nodded, if he wants to turn over, it depends on the next result.
