Chapter 42 Slow work and careful work, near the end
Standing quietly on the high platform, Su You stared intently at the materials in the alchemy furnace that had been gradually refined into spiritual liquid.
He knew very well that sharpening the knife was not wrong for the woodcutter, so the movements in his hands were very slow, and he waited patiently for the alchemy materials to turn into a clear spiritual liquid.
Not to mention that this time he chose to refine the Four-Rank Realm Breaking Pill, which is one of the most difficult to refine among the many Four-Rank Pills, and the slightest mistake in the refining process will lead to a loss of the whole plate, plus the material is just one, he needs to deal with it even more carefully.
In addition, the refining of the Four-Rank Realm Breaking Pill also requires the use of spiritual power, and there are many complicated refining steps, but Su You, who is refining for the first time, can only explore it even if he has talent.
Finally waited until the spiritual liquid refining of some of the materials had been completed, Su You took the time to look left and right, and found that Zhongli Jiangnan, who had chosen to refine the three-grade pill, had already begun to refine the spiritual liquid of the last part of the materials, and the refining process was very smooth, and there were almost no mistakes.
"It is worthy of being praised as a genius alchemist by Master Sun, although his personality is a little irritable, but this alchemy skill has really been passed on by Master Sun."
looked at the high platform where Xu Weidong was again, and found that Xu Weidong was staring at the alchemy furnace in front of him with a sweaty head, and he didn't know what he was muttering with his mouth open and closed, and then sneered in his heart: "In order to stand out in front of women, he chose this way to enhance his sense of existence, he is really a hopeless fool..."
Thinking that Xu Weidong and Zhongli Jiangnan are different, the former actually started to try alchemy as early as a child, but after becoming a first-grade alchemist, he stagnated for several years before he was barely promoted to the second-grade, and now he is sweating profusely when refining a third-grade pill as a third-grade alchemist.
And Zhongli Jiangnan has only been able to rely on himself to be promoted to a third-grade alchemist, and now he is even more familiar and proficient in refining third-grade pills.
Thinking that if he hadn't been able to meet Jiang Nu'er and not get the Sun True Fire and Taiyin True Fire, Su You, who would definitely not be better than Zhongli Jiangnan, felt a little funny, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling of being hit, but instead a sense of battle surged in his heart, and he wanted to make himself a better and stronger alchemist.
At this time, half an hour has passed since the start of the competition, and in this half hour, the bells representing the failure of alchemy have been ringing from time to time on thousands of high platforms.
Those alchemists who were knocked out by ringing the bell after more than three failures could only hang their heads in frustration and leave here with tears that were about to fall from the corners of their eyes, and they wanted to do their best to refine the best pills within their ability, but they were exerted a huge pressure, and this kind of pressure pressed them to make frequent mistakes, and they were completely unable to perform at their due level.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of those lost and departing alchemists, Su You was unmoved, and quickly withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the alchemy furnace.
After taking out some of the material residues that had been extracted from the spiritual liquid, and then controlling the spiritual liquid to store it in a porcelain bottle, Su You's eyes suddenly became sharp and resolute, and the spiritual power in his body was running faster and faster.
Next, he put a few alchemy materials into the alchemy furnace, and at the same time split the golden flame in two, separating a white flame from it, and put some of the materials that had just been put into the alchemy furnace in the white flame for spiritual liquid refining, and the rest was still refined by the golden flame.
No one could see what was happening in the alchemy furnace, only that half of the alchemy furnace in front of Su You was actually burning flames, while the other half was condensed with frost.
"Huh? Could this strange feeling be a twin? What is the origin of this young man? ”
On the high platform in front of the Alchemy Association, the white-haired old man sitting in the first seat was also the one who announced the official start of the Alchemy Conference, he noticed the change in the high platform where Su You was, and then turned his head to the three vice presidents sitting on his left and right sides and said, "I see that he is wearing a four-grade alchemist costume certified by our association, I wonder which of you can introduce me to him?" ”
Looking in the direction pointed by the white-haired old man, Xu Sanchuan took the lead and shook his head and said that he didn't know.
And after seeing that the person mentioned by the white-haired old man was Su You, the costumes and tokens of the four-grade alchemist happened to be issued by themselves, and Dong Tiancheng and Jin Youwei introduced Su You's situation one by one.
In the end, Dong Tiancheng whispered to the white-haired old man very mysteriously: "President, this matter is actually caused by Master Ma behind the scenes, but now it seems that this young man named Su You is indeed very capable." ”
"Oh? What else is going on? ”
It turned out that the white-haired old man was none other than Mu Tianqing, the mysterious president of the Alchemist Association headquarters, who had been seeing the dragon for a long time, and Mu Tianqing, who heard what Dong Tiancheng said, was surprised, and looked at Su You with a little more exquisite in his eyes.
At the same time, Su You, who was single-mindedly putting materials into two different flames for spiritual power refining, finally breathed a sigh of relief after half an hour had passed.
Some of the materials that need to be refined when refining the Realm Breaking Pill will lose their effect immediately once the temperature they come into contact with reaches a critical point, and even if the spirit liquid is refined, it will not be able to condense into a pill.
And there are some materials that need extreme high temperatures to refine them into spiritual liquid.
In addition, the four pins of pills all use spiritual power, so Su You could only divide his slightly thin spiritual power into two, and carefully control the Sun True Fire and Taiyin True Fire to refine the spiritual liquid.
Fortunately, slow work and meticulous work, if you succeed once, you can succeed a second time.
In this way, after two full hours had passed in this round of competition, Su You had finally finished refining all the materials that were the most difficult to extract the spiritual liquid.
At the same time, more and more alchemists left the square with red faces or frustrated faces under the regretful gaze of everyone around them.
More or less, they all made mistakes in the alchemy process because of pressure or the roughness of their own skills.
However, there are also many alchemists with good alchemy skills who have chosen to refine their best elixir, and during this period of time, no matter what the quality of the elixir is, they finally succeeded in refining the elixir.
"Bell!"
Another half an hour passed.
With a crisp sound slapping on the alchemy furnace, it sounded in the sky above the square.
Zhongli Jiangnan took the lead in taking out the three-grade pill he had refined from the alchemy furnace.
There are also some baby fat faces with confident smiles, and when they look at Su You and Xu Weidong, they even raise their chins high, showing pride.
"Bell, bell, bell..."
It didn't take long for a continuous sound to sound over the square, and the rest of the third-grade alchemists also completed their own elixir refining one after another.
"Peng!"
On the contrary, at this time, there was a burst of alchemy furnace bursting sound from the high platform where Xu Weidong was, and a wisp of black smoke flew out of the alchemy furnace.
Xu Weidong, whose face was blackened by the smoke, sat on the ground in a trance, and in the alchemy furnace that had collapsed, alchemy materials that had been burned to ashes and a "round ball" that had turned into coke before it was formed were scattered
Until the bell rang to announce the elimination, Xu Weidong still hadn't come back to his senses.
After being taken off the high platform by the people of the Alchemist Association, a pair of cloudy eyes had a little brightness.
"There's still half an hour left..."
Zhongli Jiangnan, who stayed on the high platform, set his sights on Su You.
Although she really hoped that she could defeat everyone in this competition to prove that she was the best, she also hoped that Su You would be able to complete the refining, and put her hands on her chest and clenched them tightly into fists.
Many people around the square also began to focus their eyes on Su You's body, and they were all curious about whether this young man wearing the costume of a fourth-grade alchemist could complete the refining at the last moment and pass this competition.
The sand in the hourglass is almost bottoming out.
Xu Weidong in the crowd had already begun to raise an evil smile.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhongli Jiangnan's eyes.
Even Mu Tianqing secretly sighed a pity.
"Bell!"
Suddenly, Su You, who was standing in front of the alchemy furnace, suddenly retracted the power of the Extreme Yin Pole Yang Yuan Pill, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the alchemy furnace, pulling a medicinal fragrance that exuded an extremely rich fragrance with spiritual power, and the body was surrounded by four golden cloud patterns, and in the sunlight, it was like a golden golden pill that flew into the air.
The pill then fell, and Su You reached out and grasped it firmly in his hand, covering the dazzling brilliance under his palm.
Let everyone have endless reverie.
