Chapter 187: The Eve of the Competition
The next day, early in the morning.
The sun shines and drives away the darkness and brings light and beauty to the world.
And Xiao He's eyelids moved slightly, stung by the dazzling morning light, and then slowly opened his eyes and walked towards the windowsill.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes narrowed slightly, across the sea and blue sky, a vastness, which shocked his spirit and couldn't help but enjoy it.
But after a while, he sighed, a trace of melancholy appeared on his face, and said to himself:
"I don't know what happened to Brother Song, I said goodbye last night!
After some thought, he gently patted his cheek with his hand, and comforted himself:
"Okay! With Brother Qi's escort, there must be no mistakes! Next, you have to refine the medicine well! Otherwise, you won't be able to pass the alchemist qualification review meeting in six days, but you will live up to Sister Yu's kindness! I am afraid that it will be really troublesome to be held accountable by the Night Killing God!"
"Let's get started!"
After speaking, Xiao He closed the window and slowly walked to Fang Ding, then sat down cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
I saw him breathe in one by one, slowly adjusting his state, letting him calm down, constantly trying to perceive everything around him, and meditating.
In this way, two hours later, Xiao He opened his eyes again, and the soul power in his body erupted, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth came out, condensing a spiritual spring above his head, and the fragrance was overflowing.
"Today is Juli Dan!"
Immediately after, the black light flashed in Xiao He's hand, and an earthy yellow scroll appeared in his hand, slowly opened it, and studied it carefully.
"Okay!
After browsing for a while, Xiao He closed his eyes again, and with a slight lift of one hand, a black herb was grabbed by the palm of the aura and thrown into Fang Ding.
"Fire!"
Then the soul power in his body surged out, pouring directly into Fang Ding, and the crimson flame wave gushed out, instantly devouring and burying the medicinal herbs.
After a while, a faint fragrance began to waft out of the ding, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and making people feel refreshed for a while.
The red flame dissipated, and a drop of pitch-black liquid medicine was suspended in the ding, and with a wave of Xiao He's hand, the liquid medicine automatically rose and warmed up at the mouth of the ding.
At the same time, another green grass with golden leaves suddenly settled and fell into the ding.
Immediately after, the crimson flame rose again, the heat wave rolled, the space was distorted, and the medicinal fragrance also diffused.
A quarter of an hour later, a pill the size of a dragon's eye condensed out of Fang Ding, formed, and constantly exuded bursts of medicinal fragrance outward, after people smelled it, there seemed to be infinite power gushing out of their bodies, which was very powerful.
Xiao He mobilized his aura, carefully held up the pill, put it in the medicine bottle, smelled the fragrance of the medicine, he was full of joy, and said happily:
"This is Juli Pill? I didn't expect it to be successful in the first refining!
"Go on!"
Xiao He slowly put down the medicine bottle, did not indulge in too much joy, retracted his mind, closed his eyes again, and prepared to continue refining.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and a burst of smoke rose in the ding, and the prototype of the pill that had just been condensed was burned away, turning into charred black ashes and scattered all over the ground.
Xiao He looked at the small ash on the ground, and felt a little unacceptable in his heart, and sighed secretly:
"Hey~ It's still not very stable!"
"Forget it! Come again! There are still six days, and you have to practice more!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after feeling a little more comfortable, he calmed down and began refining medicine again.
Five hours later, there were ten medicine bottles on the ground, all of which diffused a rich medicinal fragrance, which made people feel shocked and doubled their strength!
looked at the medicine bottles all over the ground, but he was still a little unhappy, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Thirty-eight! The success rate is only eighty percent! It seems that it is still far from it!"
"Forget it, the soul power is almost consumed! Let's take a break! I'll practice other pills later! I have to work harder! It seems that I have to go to the sword fighting arena less these days!"
After saying that, Xiao He stretched his waist, lay down on the spot, and began to fall asleep.
Two hours later, Xiao He woke up again, then took out the newly purchased medicinal materials last night, put them on one by one, and after a little meditation, he began to refine the medicine again.
In this way, Xiao He has been refining medicine all day, and he slowly found his senses, and he is also happy.
Time is always fast, and the alchemist qualification review conference is getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, just six days have passed in a flash.
In this way, except for the time when he agreed with Yu Yan that he would go to the sword fighting arena to participate in one or two sword fighting competitions, Xiao He was trying to refine medicine the rest of the time.
During this period, he practiced all the prescriptions passed on to him by Zhao Kaiyang, but in the end, due to the lack of prescriptions, he even took out some three-grade pills to refine, among which there were naturally also sword pills!
There are successes, there are failures, there are joys, and there are also frustrations.
No matter what the result of refining the medicine is, Xiao He's heart is no longer bound by the result and affects the state of mind!
Succeed, continue! Fail, come again!
And it is precisely because of this that his heart has become more and more stable and peaceful, extremely calm, and more and more perceptive. It can sense the ablation point of the herb at any time, and react quickly to refine and extract it.
Finally, on the eve of the Alchemist Qualification Evaluation Conference, all efforts are about to be confirmed, and success or failure depends on tomorrow's performance.
At this moment, the sky is already dark, and the cold moonlight of the sea and moon shines through the window screen and casts on the windowsill, which looks extremely quiet and beautiful.
However, the heat wave in the house hit people, and the red fireworks churned in the ding, constantly eroding, scorching a pale cyan elixir rudiment.
Under the scorching flames, the prototype continues to become smooth and smooth, gradually taking shape, and wisps of light aroma diffuse out.
After a while, a blue-green elixir the size of a dragon's eye slowly rose up from the ding, and finally suspended at the mouth of the ding, diffusing bursts of medicinal fragrance, refreshing and refreshing.
Xiao He Ding looked at this blue-green elixir, his eyes were full of joy and expectation, eager to try, excited:
"This is the Sword Warrior Pill, and you can feel the majestic pure soul power contained in it before you take it! I wonder if you can really wish me to improve? It's really a little bit of a little expectant!"
"But this thing is really difficult to refine, it actually cost me five points of medicinal materials! It seems that if you want to refine the three-grade pill, you have to work harder!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao He put it into a separate medicine bottle, treasured it, slowly got up, looked at the night sky outside the window, smiled slightly, and said:
"Looks like it's time to make deliveries too!"
After speaking, Xiao He slowly turned around and walked towards the dresser.
A quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man slowly walked out of the house.
An hour later, the Night House, in a delicately airtight hut.
I saw Xiao He wave his hand casually, the black light in his hand flashed, and rows of medicine bottles flew out and landed on the table, fragrant.
Immediately after, he looked at Yu Yan, grinned, and said:
"One hundred and ninety-seven second-grade pills, thirteen third-grade pills!
"Huh?" Looking at the dense medicine bottles on the table, Yu Yan was also shocked and said in surprise:
"You kid, you have even started refining the three-grade pills, so strong, then I have to taste and taste it!"
"Hehe~ It's just a fluke!" Xiao He was also embarrassed.
"You're still so modest, what's so much luck, wait for my sister to see!"
Who knew that Yu Yan gave him a blank look, then picked up a medicine bottle, observed it carefully, and tasted it.
"Well~ good! Three high-quality! Ten defective!"
After a while, Yu Yan finished tasting, slowly put down the medicine bottle, glanced at Xiao He, and couldn't help but praise:
"I didn't expect you to have only been in contact with alchemy for more than ten days, and even the three grades have been refined!
"Hehe~ How can Sister Yu say so godly! I just practice and practice and ......" Xiao He was also embarrassed, and he couldn't make it up when he said it.
"Haha~ Do you want to say that you accidentally refined it?" Yu Yan couldn't deny it, just smiled ridiculously, and continued:
"Do you know that your carelessness is just an achievement that many alchemists can achieve after several years, or even more than ten years of hard refining?"
"Hehe~" Xiaohe scratched his head and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Xiao He no longer spoke, Yu Yan put away those pills, and then her face began to become solemn, and asked:
"Seeing that you have refined so many different types of pills in one go, I guess you should be full of confidence in tomorrow's game, right?"
After hearing this, Xiao He shook his head, sighed, and said:
"I don't know! Now when refining different types of pills, there are still quite a few problems!"
Yu Yan listened, nodded, and then reminded:
"Hmm~ Then you have to work harder! If you can't get the alchemist qualification badge, the old man will be a little unreasonable!"
"Hmm~ I know! I will do my best! I will definitely get the certification! I will live up to my sister's intentions!" Xiao He understood, then nodded and returned.
"Hmph! count your kid still have a little conscience!" Yu Yanwan smiled, the ring in her hand flashed, and she directly put in the pills on the table, and then turned to look at Xiao He, and suddenly there was an extra ring in her hand, raised it towards Xiao He, handed it over, and said:
"There are 500,000 gold coins in this, which should be regarded as the remuneration of the registered alchemist! and the cost of buying medicinal materials! And there are the medicinal materials you asked me to find! But I only prepared three copies for you!"
"Wow~ Thank you, sister, you are so good to me! Thank you so much!" Xiao He's eyes lit up, full of emotion, and his hands slowly stretched out and took it gently.
"Look at your virtue!" Yu Yan also smiled, then turned around and walked to the sofa, lay down slowly, yawned, threw him a wink, and said:
"It's getting late, we have to play tomorrow!, then you should go back early and get ready to rest!"
"If you want to be here, sister, I'll treat you well!"
Xiao He was also embarrassed, and in an instant, he immediately appeared at the door, opened the door, and turned around:
"Hehe~ This won't bother you, Sister Yu!"
"Hey~ I know!" Yu Yan was angry and hateful, and directly bounced up from the sofa in a huff, and cursed:
"You conscienceless fellow, do you dislike your sister and me so much? Hey~ It's really chilling! Let's go!"
Hearing that Yu Yan was going to drive him away, Xiao He immediately walked out, poked his head in, grinned, and said:
"Hey, hey~ Sister, then I'm really leaving!"
"Hmph, let's go!" Yu Yan glanced at him, waved his hand, and then sat back on the sofa and turned his head to the side.
Seeing this, Xiao He turned around, restrained his facial expression, and slowly walked towards the outside of the house.
