Chapter 389: Liu Ling's Routine Operation!
Just when everyone was shocked by the power of Liu Ling's fire, Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed on the medicinal materials piled on Liu Ling's stone platform.
The number of those medicinal materials was obviously not comparable to the twenty medicinal materials he used to refine the three-patterned Qingling Pill.
Suddenly, the old voice of Yao Lao rang in Xiao Yan's heart.
"Xiao Yanzi, don't look at it. The medicinal materials that kid prepared are obviously for refining fifth-grade pills!"
"Fifth-grade pills? Does that mean he has reached the level of a fifth-grade alchemist?" Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's face was full of disbelief.
"Xiao Yanzi, what are you yelling about? Liu Ling is almost two years older than you. He can reach the level of a fifth-grade alchemist now, and you can reach it in two years. Moreover, his level is not considered a particularly outstanding genius in the eyes of some alchemy families in Danyuzhou. Think about it back then..."
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Yao Lao began to brag about some of his experiences.
"Xiao Yanzi, next, you can go ahead and refine the three-patterned Qingling Pill that you remember without worrying about so many things. In this conference, if Liu Ling succeeds in refining a fifth-grade pill, you will have no hope of winning the championship. However, if that kid unfortunately fails and something goes wrong in the fusion process, maybe you still have a chance."
"Well, teacher, Xiao Yan understands!"
After hearing Yao Lao's series of explanations, Xiao Yan also realized that he could no longer be affected by external things like in the first round of assessments.
Moreover, he also had a little expectation, expecting that Liu Ling might fail in refining, because no matter how strong the alchemist is, he is not 100% sure that he can succeed in refining, and the time required to refine a fifth-grade pill is much longer than that of a fourth-grade pill. As long as Liu Ling makes any mistakes during the fusion, he will definitely not have time to extract the second batch of medicinal materials.
…
On the square, as the strange scene caused by the Liu Ling strange fire disappeared, the contestants gradually pulled their minds back to the test questions they were about to face. They poured the flames in their hands into the medicine cauldron, and then took out the herbs from their rings and began the first step of refining the elixir: refining!
Xiao Yan stared at the cauldron, occasionally waving his hands, throwing one or two herbs on the stone platform into the cauldron, and then controlling the temperature of the flames according to the information recorded on the prescription. Slowly refining the essence needed for refining the elixir.
Although he had a very detailed prescription in his mind, Xiao Yan did not dare to be careless at all. Last night, Fa Ma gave him only two materials. No matter which one was missing due to mistakes, it would seriously increase the failure rate of refining, which was absolutely unbearable for Xiao Yan. M.
So, now he did not dare to covet speed at all and put in four or five herbs at once, but chose to refine one or two herbs each time. This safe way.
At this moment, most of the people on the field were as cautious as Xiao Yan, but there were exceptions.
Liu Ling grabbed four herbs with his big hand and put them into the Red Snake Cauldron at the same time and began to refine them.
"Alas, this kid... is messing around again, not cautious at all!"
Seeing Liu Ling's actions, Fa Ma sighed heavily. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
Originally, based on Liu Ling's performance in the first two games, his strength was definitely the strongest among many contestants, but Liu Ling's alchemy process was very risky every time, which was absolutely fatal to the competition.
Fa Ma saw this point, so he found Xiao Yan overnight to make a second-hand plan.
In the VIP seat, Nalan Jie withdrew his eyes from those contestants, turned his head and said to Nalan Yanran: "Yanran, in the past two years, you have been hiding in Yunlan Mountain and never came down. Are you afraid that grandpa will blame you?"
"Blame? Why does grandpa blame Yanran?"
Hearing what Nalan Jie said, Nalan Yanran showed some doubts on her face.
"You went to the Xiao family to break off the engagement without your family's consent. Do you think you are not wrong? No matter who wins the three-year agreement, you'd better go and apologize to the Xiao family." Nalan Jie said with a slightly scolding tone.
Ever since Gu He cured Nalan Jie of the poison, Nalan Jie soon learned about her breaking off the engagement, and took the time to visit the Xiao family as a friend of Xiao Lin, the old patriarch of the Xiao family. That's why he knew about Xiao Yan's recovery of his cultivation talent, so he has such an excuse at this moment.
"I am not wrong! I brought him some compensation when I went there, but he not only didn't appreciate it, but also humiliated me and said he wanted to divorce me!"
Nalan Yanran said very stubbornly.
"You could have gone to the Xiao family privately and asked Xiao Zhan in a nice way whether they could cancel the engagement, and perhaps these things wouldn't have happened. But you chose to use the power of the Yunlan Sect to force the Xiao family to cancel the engagement. Don't you know how much damage this would cause to the Xiao family's reputation? The engagement was made by Grandpa and Xiao Zhan's father. What kind of situation will you put Grandpa in by doing this!" Nalan Jie said calmly, looking at his granddaughter.
After listening to Nalan Jie's words, Nalan Yanran's face was a little complicated. After a while, she calmly said to Nalan Jie: "Grandpa, I don't want to be engaged, and no one can force me. Moreover, I will not lose the three-year agreement. When the time comes, I will give Xiao Yan some compensation if he loses."
"You are so confident. The talent of the boy from the Xiao family is not low. After three years, he may have reached the level of a great fighting master." Nalan Jie said tentatively.
"You don't have to worry about this. Just focus on watching the game!"
Seeing Nalan Jie's test, Nalan Yanran did not reveal her cultivation level, but temporarily closed her ears with fighting spirit and stopped listening to Nalan Jie's chattering.
Seeing Nalan Yanran's behavior, Nalan Jie was angry, but he could do nothing about it. After all, this is a public area, and he didn't want others to laugh at his Nalan family.
At this time, the last round of assessment had passed for a while. Nalan Jie found that while he was talking to Nalan Yanran, the medicinal materials on the most dazzling willow feather stone platform on the field had been reduced by two-thirds compared to before, and the others had just finished refining three or four medicinal materials.
"This speed is too incredible!"
Others refine third-grade elixirs, while Liu Ling refines fifth-grade elixirs. In the end, Liu Ling's speed of refining thirty or forty medicinal herbs is about the same as others' speed of refining seven or eight medicinal herbs. This is a bit too discouraging.
