A short lunch break passed quickly.

When Ah Bing returned to the scene in the afternoon, he unexpectedly found that there were many more dignitaries and nobles who came to observe the venue, rich businessmen and gentry.

On the surface, they were observing the competition, but in fact, they all wanted to preemptively tie the knot and establish a good relationship with the future No. 1 Alchemist in the provincial capital as soon as the winner was decided.

Seeing these people, Ah Bing couldn't help but snort:

"It seems that the provincial city is no different, these people didn't come here just by smelling."

He didn't pay much attention to it, but quickly came to his place and stood still.

After a while, I drank two taels at noon, and the slightly drunk Luo Tong and Zhou Tai also arrived one after another.

They all had red faces, and they didn't seem to take Ah Bing seriously at all.

And when they are seated, the competition begins.

The Ministry of Commerce set up a long table on the left and right sides of the field, on which were placed more than a dozen medicine baskets, which were designated basic medicinal materials, and there were some basic medicine refining appliances next to them.

According to the rules, the two contestants must use the medicinal materials provided by the Ministry of Commerce, play freely within the specified time, and refine the high-grade pills as much as possible to decide the winner.

"It turned out to be their medicinal herbs, it seems that they bought it for nothing yesterday."

Ah Bing said secretly in his heart, and came to his desk for a brief examination.

As a result, his face suddenly became extremely ugly!

It's just because most of the medicinal materials in his medicine basket are defective, all of them are indiscriminate and full of goods in the market, and some of them are even bad at all!

When the soldier discovered the situation, he immediately appealed.

As a result, as soon as he raised his head, he met Zhou Tai's eyes, and the latter sneered there.

"Stinky boy, look what you do now!"

Secretly said in his heart, Zhou Tai didn't give Ah Bing a chance at all, and immediately glanced at the host.

The host immediately announced the official start of the competition, and Ah Bing was at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning.

Luo Tong on the opposite side also looked at him, with a cold smile on his face, and then unhurriedly selected more than a dozen medicinal materials from the medicine frame, weighed them carefully with a small scale on the side, and after evenly distributing the amount, he began to grind them carefully.

Its movements appear to be extraordinarily professional and skilled, just looking at it is a master's level, and there is even a sense of art between every move.

There was a burst of admiration at the scene, Luo Tong had not yet begun to officially refining, and he had already shown a super high professional quality.

On the other hand, on Ah Bing's side, he stood in front of the medicine frame with a pale face, and did not move.

"What is this soldier doing? Idle? ”

"I guess I'm too nervous, my brain is blank haha."

There was a low burst of laughter from the crowd, but Ah Bing didn't pay attention, he just looked at the herbs in the medicine box.

Although there are many types of medicinal materials provided by the Ministry of Commerce today, he has already seen at this time that under the combination of these medicinal materials, only three kinds of pills can be formulated.

Of these three elixirs, two of them were only the lowest-level first-order elixirs, and the other was a third-order elixir.

In other words, the people in the Ministry of Commerce said that they were free to play, but in fact, they secretly set a threshold, and if they wanted to win the competition, they had to refine the highest-level elixir.

But the problem is that the color of the medicinal materials in front of Ah Bing is extremely poor, and according to the conventional refining method, the color of the baked pill will never be stronger than Luo Tong.

"Looks like there's only one way to go."

Ah Bing said secretly in his heart, and then quickly grabbed more than a dozen medicinal materials from the medicine frame, threw them into the pot, picked up the porcelain and crushed them all.

This operation directly made the people on the scene look stupid.

Luo Tong even stopped what he was doing and looked at Ah Bing blankly.

"Brother, do you know how to refine medicine?"

Ah Bing raised his head: "What, is there a problem?" ”

"How can you refine medicine like this, the weight is not proportionate, and you are messing around, you should be a playhouse?!"

Luo Tong shook his head again and again, but Ah Bing just sneered: "Refining medicine is not performance art, refining the pill well is the last word, I don't know and don't need your academic things." ”

Yes, compared to Luo Tong, Ah Bing, who has never received any orthodox training, is completely wild.

Although the fetal god's mother-in-law gave him a prescription, the details of the specific refining medicine were all explored by Ah Bing in the kitchen at ordinary times.

Ah Bing, who has always been used to playing freely, doesn't understand those rules and regulations at all, the norms of refining medicine, his hand is a scale, it seems to be arbitrary, but in fact, the weight is not bad at all.

And in the process of almost poisoning himself to death countless times, Ah Bing already has an extraordinary understanding of the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials.

What others don't dare to add indiscriminately, he dares.

Others dare not try new drugs, he dares.

He even often added soy sauce to pills worth hundreds of thousands!

Don't ask, asking is to add freshness and color.

Previously, Ah Bing's crazy alchemy technique had only been seen by Tang Shenyi, but now that it has been made public, it naturally surprised these academic alchemists on the scene.

Luo Tong stared at Ah Bing with disdain, sneering in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to it anymore, just poured the mashed medicinal herbs in front of him into the furnace and officially opened the fire to refine.

The art of alchemy only required ordinary flames at the beginning.

Luo Tong turned on the alcohol blowtorch to the minimum, carefully fine-tuned the size of the fire, until the standard "simmering" state, he clapped his hands with satisfaction and straightened up.

As a result, he was dumbfounded again.

I saw that the soldiers on the opposite side came up and turned the fire up to the maximum, and there was a pot of stew on the spot!

It hadn't been two minutes before bursts of scorching stench poured out of his medicine furnace and filled the entire scene!

"What the hell are you doing, the medicine is all confused!" Luo Tong couldn't help but scream.

However, Ah Bing just smiled: "Take care of your own business, I don't need you to teach me to refine medicine." ”

"You!" Luo Tong's face was a little ugly, he didn't have to point out his opponent, he just felt that Ah Bing was like this, which really lowered the lower limit of the entire industry, and even lost the face of the profession of alchemist.

"Xiao Luo, don't be disturbed by him, let everyone see the level of the real alchemist!"

Just when Luo Daodao's heart was a little unstable, Zhou Tai gave him a look in time.

Luo Tong then nodded, focusing on his side.

With the passage of time, the medicinal materials of his medicine furnace have completed their initial awakening, and this moment has reached the most critical moment.

Luo Tong calmed down, turned off the alcohol blowtorch, and stretched out one hand towards the bottom of the medicine stove.

Syllable!

With a soft sound, a red flame the size of a candle flame suddenly appeared in his palm!

Although the red flame was small, the temperature was obviously extremely high, and it instantly burned the bottom of the medicine furnace and changed color!

Seeing this scene, more than half of the people at the scene stood up in shock on the spot!

"It's ...... Gunfire ??! ”

"Oh my God, it's been ten years, and my provincial city finally has another master with medicinal fire!"

"Luo Tong is still so young, and the future is limitless!"

The people present were shocked, and even the people from the Ministry of Commerce were dumbfounded.

Under the watchful eye, Luo Tong manipulated the medicine fire with one hand with a proud face, and looked at A Bing lightly:

"Boy, do you know what this is?"

Ah Bing glanced twice: "Red Medicinal Fire? ”

"Not bad! I didn't expect you to have a little knowledge! The smile on Rotong's face was even bigger.

Who expected Ah Bing to come up with a cold sentence: "The lowest-grade red medicine fire is only the size of a soybean, which is also embarrassing to show off?" ”

Luo Tong's face froze, and he immediately said angrily: "Do you know what the concept of medicine fire is, do you know that this is something that many alchemists have dreamed of all their lives?" You know what? ”

"Of course I do."

Ah Bing suddenly laughed:

"Your potion fire is really not enough to see, why don't you see mine?"

With that, he also stretched his hand forward.

Immediately, a blazing white flame that rushed straight to the ceiling suddenly soared!
