Chapter 140 The Final Begins!
"Danwen, there are actually Danwen?"
At some point, among the group of alchemists in the audience, someone could not help but point at the pill floating in front of Lu Yun in the picture and exclaimed.
After hearing this voice, the others were also refreshed and looked again.
The four pills with Danwen themselves emitted a brighter luster, which could be identified at a glance.
"This..."
When it was confirmed that there were four pills with Danwen, everyone lost their voices, and their faces were briefly stagnant. The originally lively venue suddenly became silent and deathly silent.
As for Lu Yun, he calmly looked at the round pill flying in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, a purple jade bottle appeared.
At the same time, ten pills with restrained halos and pure and flawless flew into the jade bottle one by one.
After extinguishing the fire, Lu Yun stood on the competition platform, holding a jade bottle and calmly looked at the huge hourglass. There was a gurgling sand flowing smoothly in it, and there was almost half of the sand left.
"If I refine it again, not only will the quality rate rise to 50% or 60%, but the time will also be greatly reduced."
Lu Yun shook his head and looked around.
At this time, all the genius alchemists in the entire arena were concentrating on refining pills. Even if they smelled a faint fragrance of pills and knew that someone had already refined the finished pills first, they remained unmoved and seemed particularly careful and cautious.
When refining pills, distraction is a taboo, especially when facing such an incomplete pill recipe, and it is a pill that has not been refined, the attention must be focused and concentrated, otherwise if you are not careful, all the sweat in the early stage will be wasted.
And the alchemists who are closer to Lu Yun, because of the impact of the explosion of the furnace, their state and mind are affected, and they have wasted a lot of time. Now they seem very anxious, and a few of them have sweat on their foreheads.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yun shook his head slightly. If these people adjusted their status in time, they might still have a chance of success.
Otherwise, they would have only one result, and that was failure.
On the high platform, Qu Feng looked at the screen that originally played Lu Yun, and suddenly changed to another alchemist. He also retracted his gaze and immediately looked at Qian Yu on the side, with a look of annoyance and dissatisfaction on his face.
"Really, Lu Yun kept it from me. If I had known that he was so good at alchemy, I should have made a bet with you. Alas, I finally got such a good opportunity, but I didn't expect it to be wasted like this."
Glancing at Qu Feng's pretentious attitude, Qian Yu smiled faintly and said, "This is just a preliminaries. The first one to refine a finished pill doesn't mean anything. Only the results in the finals can represent the results of the entire alchemy conference."
"Yes, Brother Qian is right. In this preliminaries, as long as you refine the pill within the limited time, you can advance. There is not much difference between the first and the last one to refine. But why did Lu Yun, this stinky boy, perform so brilliantly? It's okay to have a 100% success rate, but he also made four fine pills. Isn't this a waste of all his luck?"
After saying that, Qu Feng looked heartbroken, and Qian Yu's mouth twitched. This was the most heartbreaking thing.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, he naturally knew what Lu Yun, who was able to refine four fine pills in less than half the time under such difficulties, represented.
Although he didn't admit it, he knew in his heart that such a person would be an extremely strong dark horse in this alchemy conference.
Seeing Qian Yu's increasingly ugly old face, Qu Feng was so proud in his heart, and felt that the depression that had accumulated in his heart for countless years was released at this moment.
In previous alchemy conferences, it was the old guy Qian Yu who laughed at him the most.
Of course, in addition to Qian Yu, other people around him also ridiculed Lingwu County. Today, he finally found an opportunity. How could he give up easily?
The old guys around were all some smart people. They immediately knew what Qu Feng would do next, and they all looked away.
"Sure enough, they are all a bunch of old foxes." Qu Feng complained, and lost interest in continuing to ridicule others.
As time passed slowly, a faint fragrance gradually wafted out of the two competition areas, which meant that after Lu Yun, another alchemist successfully refined a finished pill.
Among them, in the third-grade alchemist area, Chu Yuanyao, who looked pure and lovely, raised her jade hand, and ten rays of light shot up into the sky and fell into her hands in an instant.
I saw ten plump and round pills spinning in her hands, and with a slight shake, they fell into the jade plate that had been placed on the bluestone table. Each one was pure white and flawless.
On the third competition platform, Mu Changfeng smiled and played with the ten pills in his hand. He looked proudly in the direction of Chu Yuanyao in the distance. He just happened to catch a glimpse of the scene of Chu Yuanyao collecting the pills, and his face was stunned.
In the process of refining the pill, in order to avoid interference from other alchemists, he had already closed his six senses and did not know the external situation.
In his opinion, among the third-grade alchemists, he must be the first one to succeed in making a pill.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanyao succeeded in making a pill almost at the same time as him, and the success rate was so high, reaching 100%.
"As expected, she is someone who can be accepted as a disciple by President Qin Ming. Her talent is indeed extraordinary!"
"It seems that I have to go all out in the next finals."
The gloomy eyes flickered slightly, and then retracted their gaze.
He continued to scan the surroundings, wanting to see if there were any potential opponents.
"Hmm?" At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the No. 156 competition platform.
At this time, Lu Yun was sitting on the bluestone platform bored, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked drowsy.
Because he had refined the pills early, he could not go out without permission because of the competition, so he had to kill time like this.
"Haha, even if he became a third-grade alchemist early, what can he do? Without enough experience, he can't even refine a finished pill."
With a sneer in his heart, Mu Changfeng's eyes shifted away, and at the same time, he completely eliminated Lu Yun from the potential competitors in his heart.
In his opinion, Lu Yun's appearance was obviously because he was hit after failing to refine the pill, so he had to play like this.
As for the possibility that Lu Yun had already refined the pills, in his opinion, it was completely unrealistic.
As the sand in the huge hourglass became less and less, the preliminaries gradually came to an end. From time to time, the fragrance of elixirs wafted out from the two competition areas, and the faces of the alchemists showed proud smiles and full of a sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, most of the competition platforms also heard rumbling sounds from time to time, accompanied by thick smoke and pungent smells, and the wind was blowing in all directions.
These genius alchemists with instant noodle hair and big painted faces no longer had the arrogant and complacent attitude they had before. They all left the competition platform with a decadent face like elementary school students who failed the exam.
Before the time was up, once you automatically left the competition platform, it would be regarded as automatically giving up the competition.
At this time, the preliminaries were coming to an end, and it was too late to start refining the furnace again. Giving up was their only choice.
Sitting on the competition platform, Lu Yun opened his eyes and looked at the contestants who left one by one. Then he looked around. He was a little surprised to find that nearly half of the people had been eliminated before the qualifying time was over.
Moreover, this did not include those who were concentrating their attention and concentrating on the last step.
While Lu Yun was looking at other people, someone was also looking at him.
"Strange, this kid has failed, but why is he still on the competition platform?" Mu Changfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
Sure enough, not long after, the moment the last drop of sand in the huge hourglass ran out, the majestic and heavy bell sound floated in the entire venue.
Qin Ming stood up on the high platform, looked around the whole place, and then said in a loud voice: "The competition is over. All participants will put the pills you have refined on the bluestone platform for inspection by the staff. The rest of the participants who have not refined the finished pills, please leave the venue."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the staff quickly entered the venue.
Lu Yun found that the staff in front of him was holding a delicate and beautiful instrument in his hand.
After the staff entered the venue, Qin Ming's voice sounded again.
"I believe you have also seen the instrument among the staff. This is an instrument for testing pills. As long as you put the pills you have refined into it and it emits a green light, it proves that you have refined the correct pills and passed the preliminaries. If it flashes red or there is no light, even if the pill is successful, it is considered a failure!"
"Some people may ask why flashing red light is considered a failure. Then I will tell you clearly, because if the instrument flashes red light, it means that what you have refined is not a healing pill at all, but a poison..."
"As for the absence of flashing light, it is very simple. An ordinary pill that can neither save people nor harm people, can it be a pill?"
Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the audience and the VIP seats.
And those alchemists who were still on the competition stage blushed slightly, then put away their "pills" without leaving a trace and quietly left the competition stage.
After seeing that many people left the competition stage very tactfully, Qin Ming showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Haha, let's start the test!"
The staff member who came to check Lu Yun was a female alchemist, wearing a purple alchemist robe, with a purple belt tied around her waist, showing her slender waist and plump and mature figure.
After receiving Qin Ming's instructions, she smiled at Lu Yun, then picked up the purple jade bottle on the bluestone table, gently opened the bottle cap, poured out a round recovery pill from it, and then placed it on the instrument.
Suddenly, this delicate and clever instrument suddenly emitted a dazzling green light, instantly illuminating the entire competition stage.
"It is worthy of being a fine elixir with elixir patterns, which can actually shine so brightly!" The staff member exclaimed, and then put away the purple jade bottle, the scroll on the bluestone table, and all the remaining spiritual medicines.
Afterwards, after a simple registration, a large pile of neat spiritual medicines and a new scroll were taken out and neatly placed on the bluestone table.
During this process, Lu Yun's eyes were always on the jade bottle.
To him, it was not only the result of his hard work for nearly two hours, but also hundreds of energy points.
He reluctantly turned his eyes away from the departing female alchemist and immediately looked in other directions.
At this time, green lights of varying strengths and weaknesses continued to flash from each competition platform.
Obviously, almost all the remaining alchemists have refined real finished pills.
But there are always a few guys with a fluke mentality, who eventually showed their true colors under the inspection of the instrument and fled the scene with red faces.
With the end of the inspection, there were only about fifty people left in the third-grade alchemist area, with an elimination rate of nearly 80%, which shows the difficulty of the preliminaries.
What surprised Lu Yun a little was that Yin Hualin also refined finished pills and was not eliminated.
As for the second-grade alchemy area, there were still about 130 people left, but Lu Yun only saw Deng Yunhui with a lazy look, while Di Ruoling and the other two alchemists from Lingwu County had been eliminated.
Looking back at the competition seat, Di Ruoling was sitting in her original position, with a smile on her pretty face, and she did not have the frustration of being eliminated like other people.
"Hey... maybe this little girl is just here to join in the fun!" Lu Yun shook his head and looked away.
At this time, all the alchemists who won and entered the finals sat cross-legged on the spot, closed their eyes and began to rest and adjust their state.
As for Lu Yun, the energy consumed by refining that furnace of elixir just now was just a drizzle for him, and after finishing the elixir, he had already recovered to his peak state.
When the scorching sun slowly rose and appeared in the open sky, the venue became lively again.
"Dong!"
At a certain moment, a crisp bell sound rang out, echoing long and loud in the venue.
It was at this moment that the alchemists who were sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed opened their eyes, took a deep breath, and then stood up, raised their eyes, and looked at the position of Qin Ming on the high platform.
It seemed that because the finals of the conference were about to begin, the noise in the entire venue had reached its peak, and even the crisp and melodious sound of the bell could not stop the noise.
"Cough..."
However, with Qin Ming's cough, all the noise and noise in the venue disappeared almost in an instant.
On the high platform, Qin Ming coughed lightly and scanned the whole audience with a faint smile.
I was delayed today by something, so I will update once for now and resume normal updates tomorrow. Please forgive me! !
