Chapter 67: Failure
Zhang Shun continued, "Let me introduce the judges, there are four judges, namely Yao Tian, the patriarch of the Yao clan, Zhuge Fuyun, the patriarch of the Zhuge clan, and Xuantian, the patriarch of the royal family. Each of the four judges has 10 points, and the contestants are scored according to their different performances. Wu Cheng said questioningly, "How can it be from your own family, aren't you afraid of cheating?" Song Yuxin smiled and said, "Do you really think that there are hundreds of thousands of eyes underneath, and everyone on the stage is a figure with a head and a face, who would be so shameless to cheat? Besides, isn't there a need for Zhang Shun? Although it is difficult to refine medicine, it is not difficult to distinguish which one is good." Brother, I discovered one thing this time." Li Da was slightly puzzled and asked, "What?" Song Yuxin said, "I didn't expect the royal family to be a family, if I guessed correctly, the master I said should be the patriarch of the royal family." Li Da asked even more suspiciously, "Didn't you hear just now?" Xuantian is the patriarch, are you talking about Xuantian?" Song Yuxin said helplessly, "I said brother, what others say is what? He is now the emperor, he must say so, I guess if it is correct, their royal family should have a master, this master should be at the same level as the snake elder, this person is their patriarch, and he is also the person who knows your identity." Li Da suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case.
Zhang Shun pressed down with both hands, suppressed the applause and shouts of the audience, and then said, "Next, I announce the prizes, and this year's champion will receive the Heavenly Thunder Snake Neidan, Tianshan Snow Lotus and five million gold coins." The second place winner will receive the Scarlet Lingzhi, the Fire Spirit Fruit, and three million gold coins. The third place winner will receive the Inner Ring Great Tonic Pill, 1,000-year-old ginseng, and 1,000,000 gold coins. Just finished speaking, there was another shout underground, and this time even the contestants were excited, these are all good things, all of them are panaceas, but when Zhang Shun finished talking about the rules of the game, everyone was not so excited.
Zhang Shun took out an envelope from his sleeve, then opened the envelope and said, "Let me talk about the rules of the first round of the competition, there are fifty tripods on this platform, the material is average, there are first-level to third-level herbs on it, you have to use the tripod to refine the first-level or third-level herbs to pass, there are no judges in the first round, refining the first-level herbs is considered to be passed, but the first-level, second-level and third-level herbs are only one, if you accidentally destroy the first-level herbs, you have to connect the second-level, if you can't practice it, you will fail, time is an hour." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the stage and on the stage, what kind of rule is this? You must know that it is normal for an alchemist to practice bad pills, although it is a primary first-level pill, but there are times when it is bad, to say that the second-level and third-level pills are practiced at one time, it is almost impossible at the level of these people, this is simply harsh. It is even more difficult to use the tripod provided by others when they are not familiar with it, that is, masters like Zhang Shun have to be careful when they use the tripod provided by others to refine the third-level pill and succeed once. Even Yao Shan'er and Zhuge Ming grinned at the corners of their mouths, this is not a small difficulty, and this is the first competition. In the midst of the uproar, the game began. The players walked to the platform in front of them one after another, looking at the big ding in front of them, and secretly lucky. At the moment when Zhang Shun shouted, the following suddenly moved, everyone invariably picked up the first-level herbs to refine, and even the three recommended on the field also picked up the first-level herbs, everyone put the medicinal materials into the big ding and began their own refining, after only five minutes passed, suddenly a loud bang sounded, and if you look closely, it turned out that the refining tripod exploded, so don't consider refining the second-level and third-level pills, because the dingdu has exploded, and an alchemist walked down from the stage in frustration, but this sound was like a chain reaction, and suddenly the explosions on the stage sounded one after another, and there were more than ten loud noises in a while, and then one after another the alchemists stepped down from the stage, this was because they didn't master the fire well, which led to the Ding being burned. The game continued, Zhang Shun looked at the young alchemist in front of him and smiled slightly, although they couldn't be eliminated for the time being, but they were about to be eliminated soon, because Zhang Shun saw that their heat was very small, probably knowing that there were many players around who appeared due to too much heat, but this kind of heat was not enough to fuse herbs at all, and the result was that the medicinal properties of the herbs themselves disappeared due to the inability to fuse herbs for a long time, and the refining could only start from the second level, but these people couldn't even pass the first level and could practice the second level? Zhang Shun already had the answer in his heart, and looked back at the three who were elected, in fact, this game was for the three of them, and the others were all to set off them, of course, from many dark horses. Looking at Zhuge Ming's technique and fire, Zhang Shun nodded slightly, and when he looked at Yao Shan'er's refining, Zhang Shun's smile became even stronger, and finally Zhang Qinglong, Zhang Shun was very curious about Zhang Qinglong, this young man who took out a second-level pill at the beginning should be easy for him at the first level, but when his eyes saw the pill refined by Zhang Qinglong, he was suddenly shocked, because she saw that the flame in Zhang Qinglong's hand was sometimes weak and sometimes strong, so refining would sooner or later be broken for the pill, would he not know this? At the same time as he was puzzled, Zhang Qinglong seemed to confirm his words, and suddenly there was a muffled sound in the ding, this is the result of the medicine not being able to fuse, fortunately, the ding is fine, which makes Zhang Shun a little puzzled, is the second-level pill he took out not his? Li Da and the others were also shocked, they didn't understand why Zhang Qinglong failed, Li Donglin even wondered if Zhang Qinglong was deliberately angry with him, so that he passed by the five million gold coins, no wonder everyone thought so, because everyone knew Zhang Qinglong too well, Zhang Qinglong's refining level didn't dare to say how good, but from the current point of view, Zhang Qinglong should have no problem refining the fourth-level pill, but why couldn't this level of pill be refined? Could it be a problem of changing the ding? But it doesn't look like it, Zhang Qinglong's expression is so calm, and he can't see the feeling of panic at all, which makes it difficult for everyone to guess. And Zhuge Ming next to him laughed disdainfully and thought to himself, Is there no one in the royal family this time? Come to find someone to make up for it? Yao Shan'er's idea is similar, is it true that there is no one in the royal family this time? Just now, his guy has been pretending to be cool? Xuantian's face was solemn for the first time, and he looked at Zhang Qinglong and Lin Tian beside him secretly discussed.
At this time, many alchemists remembered the same muffled voice as Zhang Qinglong, obviously they didn't succeed, some were struggling to hold the second-level herbs and prepare to make a final fight, and some didn't even have the courage to pick up the herbs and walked off the stage directly, but looking at Zhang Qinglong, he put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, his eyes were stunned and thinking about something, he neither stepped off the stage, nor picked up the second-level herbs, just stood in place for ten minutes and didn't react.
