Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Quiz

In the quiet hall, Qie MiEr and others on the high platform sat on the chairs and closed their eyes to meditate.On the table in front of them, the hourglass slowly descended... After the peaceful atmosphere lasted for an unknown amount of time, Qie Mier opened his eyes first, glanced at the hourglass that was nearly half gone, moved his body, and coughed lightly. As Qie Mier coughed, Otto and the others also opened their eyes. After looking around the hall, they smiled and said: "It seems that this test is quite difficult. Even now, everyone No one has come out yet." "Those who are capable want to improve the purity of the extraction as much as possible, while those who are less capable are worrying about how to extract the materials within the specified time, so naturally no one comes out in a short time. .” Qie Mier smiled lightly.

"Who do you think can achieve the most outstanding results this time?" Otto nodded, took a sip from the teacup in front of him, and asked with a smile. "It's hard to say..." Qie Mier lightly tapped the back of the chair with his withered fingers, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "But in my opinion, Liu Ling should have the greatest chance. He is not weak in talent. He has also learned nearly all of Furukawa's skills over the years." Three or four floors, this is enough to put him at the top of his generation." "Hehe. The little princess is not weak. The royal family's foundation is extremely strong. If we say that we didn't prepare a hole card for her this time, none of us would believe it." Otto laughed.

"Although that girl's talent is not bad, but in terms of experience, she is much inferior to Liu Ling. If she doesn't use those hole cards, she should still be inferior to Liu Ling. This is still the first trial, so the chances of her using the hole cards are not high. Great. Therefore, Liu Ling has the greatest chance of getting the best result..." Qie Mier also smiled a little more when he mentioned his lover, and said with a smile. Otto smiled, glanced out of the corner of his eye at the small black-curtained room where Xiao Yan was, and sighed in his heart: "I don't know what kind of achievements this little guy Xiao Yan can achieve. I hope it won't be too low. His talent, compared to Liu Ling and the little princess don't give in too much."

"What? Old O. Are you still holding on to hope?" Although Otto's behavior was subtle, it still did not escape Qie Mier's attention.At that moment, he shook his head helplessly. No matter how talented a second-rank pharmacist is, it would be difficult for him to compete with these third-rank pharmacists. "Hehe." With a smile, Otto didn't argue with Qie Mier, put his hands horizontally, put them on his knees, slightly rocked the tilted chair, and quietly waited for the result of the test. Seeing that Otto was silent, Qie Mier didn't say anything anymore. After sighing in a low voice, he turned his eyes to the empty hall again, and slowly counted the tick-tock time bar in his heart.

When only a quarter of the sand in the hourglass fell down, a black curtain moved violently.Immediately, several gazes on the high platform cast their gazes over in an instant, staring closely at the black curtain there. An arm stretched out from the black curtain and lifted it back.The handsome young man walked out slowly with a soft smile on his face... "It really is him..." Looking at the tall young man, Otto and the others were slightly taken aback.He exchanged a glance with Qie Mier, then sighed and shook his head, Gu He really has a lot of skills in teaching his disciples.

Liu Ling strode out of the black curtain, then stopped in the middle of the hall, raised her head and smiled slightly at Qie Mier and others on the high platform, then bowed gracefully, acting like a gentleman. Not long after Liu Ling came out, a light and nimble figure jumped out of the black curtain quickly, and when she caught sight of Liu Ling who was standing in the hall earlier, a hint of disappointment appeared on her delicate pretty face , slowly came to the center of the hall, and muttered: "Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be so fast." "Hehe, the little princess is not slow." Liu Ling said with a smile.

"Hmph. Although you are earlier than me, the medicinal materials you extracted may not be as pure as mine!" The little princess snorted softly as she raised her snow-white jade fist at Liu Ling. Liu Ling nodded, smiled and said nothing. Just two or three minutes after the little princess came out.Those quiet black curtains suddenly seemed to have a chain reaction, they were lifted one by one, and figures flashed out of them, and finally stood in the hall. The thirteen people who came out of the black curtain first all had the badges of third-rank alchemists on their chests.Obviously, they are far superior to those second-rank pharmacists in terms of refining.

After the thirteen people appeared, the black curtain stopped moving. It wasn't until ten minutes later that people came out from behind the black curtain one after another. Without exception, all of these people were second-grade pharmacists. . When the second-rank pharmacists who came out saw the thirteen third-rank pharmacists standing in the middle of the hall with their heads held high, they all shook their heads with wry smiles, and then stood in the back row with a little dejection.Obviously, after this initial test, they also roughly know the gap with these seeded players. With the continuous movement of the black curtain, the sand in the hourglass is about to be completely poured out. However, Otto's brows are tightly frowned, because Xiao Yan has not yet come out...

"What is this little guy doing? Hasn't he finished refining? Impossible, with his strength, even if the refining time can't catch up with the first-line players like Liu Ling, he won't be so far behind." He held the chair tightly with his palm. Back, Otto murmured anxiously in his heart. "Alas..." Looking at his anxious old friend, Qie Mier couldn't help but sighed softly, and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. Standing at the head of the crowd, Liu Ling looked around the hall with a faint smile on her face. After she didn't find Xiao Yan's figure, a sneer burst out of her eyes.

As time passed, the empty hall became full again, but everyone remained silent.All the gazes unexpectedly stopped at the black curtain that Xiao Yan entered by coincidence.Until now, among the people who took the test, Xiao Yan is the only one who has not yet come out... The grains of sand in the hourglass were rushing down, and Otto's brows were almost wrinkled into a line... "Hey, Brother Liu. This is your friend? It seems pretty bad." Looking at Otto who had a different expression on the high platform, the little princess turned her head to Liu Ling and whispered. "Hehe. The little princess was joking. I only met him a few times, and it's far from being a friend." Liu Ling laughed softly.

"Yes, with your ability and arrogance. It seems that you have never made friends with no potential." The little princess smiled slightly.The words were quite sharp. From the perspective of her who came from the intrigue of the royal family, only those who have the strength that she can face up to can be qualified for her to regard him as a friend.An ordinary second-rank pharmacist still doesn't have the ability to make her stoop to intersect. Liu Ling smiled and nodded, glanced at the black curtain that was still motionless again, smiled mockingly, and finally stopped paying attention, and turned her gaze back. On the high platform, the grains of sand in the hourglass have all slid down.Seeing this, Qie Mier shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that the contestant recommended by Otto was so bad that he couldn't even pass the first test, so he sighed.He stood up, wanting to announce the end of refining. Otto, who was on the side, also felt Qie Mier's actions, but with a slightly bitter face, there was no way to stop him. He shook his head decadently, leaned on the back of the chair, turned his face to the sky, and let out a long breath. "Okay, everyone, I announce that time..." "Sorry. I'm late..." Just before Qie Mier announced the end of refining, a gentle voice suddenly came from the only remaining black curtain, and immediately, a black shadow lifted the black curtain.Walking out slowly with a calm face, he slightly bowed to Qie Mier who was full of astonishment on the high platform. "Huh..." Hearing these plain words, Otto suddenly lowered his head and stared closely at Xiao Yan who was walking out of the black curtain in a little haste. The big rock hanging in his heart finally fell. down. "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to be able to get out at this last hour. It's really good luck, but the materials that were rushed out in such a hurry. I'm afraid it won't be too good?" Looking at Xiao Yan who came out with great interest, Xiao Yan the princess whispered. "It's normal to be eliminated if it's not good. The conference lacks everything, but there is no shortage of contestants..." Liu Ling narrowed her eyes and glanced sideways at Xiao Yan, then smiled lightly. Standing on the high platform, Qie Mier glanced at Xiao Yan who had finally come out, then turned his head to look at the relieved Otto and said in his heart: "Oh, although he was driven out, seeing how reluctant he is, I'm afraid The results will not be too ideal. Poor old Ao..." Turning his head, Qie Mier clapped his hands, pulled those strange eyes staring at Xiao Yan in the hall, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone came out on time, let's start preparing for the next item." Let's test." As he said that, Qie Mier stepped forward a few steps, and lifted a piece of black cloth on a platform, revealing a delicate machine underneath with a faint light. "This is a purity measuring instrument made by some famous casters invited by our Alchemist Association. It can accurately test the purity of the materials you refine." Qie Mier stroked the black machine, pointed to a groove and said: "Here is the place to put the test materials." After finishing speaking, he pointed to a screen on which some characters were constantly flashing: "And here is the place to display the purity. , one point is the lowest, and four points are passing." "Okay. Now, put the Ironwood Spirit Leaf you refined into it. Remember, before putting it in, you'd better tell me how many times you refined it..." The refinement of materials, each refinement, will be several times more difficult than the previous one.For example, to refine the iron wood spirit leaf, even with Qie Mier's strength, it can only be refined ten times.If there are more words, it can only do useless work. "let's start!" Mitchell clapped his hands lightly, and all the fourth-grade alchemist masters stood up from their seats, and then came to the tester, waiting for the unveiling of the results with a little curiosity. Following Mitchell's words, after everyone in the hall looked at each other, a third-rank pharmacist at the front gritted his teeth and walked out, and took out a container containing iron wood spirit leaves from the ring. The jade bottle, and put it into the groove.Facing Qie Mier and the others above, he respectfully said: "Master Vice President, my ability is only able to refine the Tiemu Lingye three times." Qie Mier nodded slightly. Being able to effectively refine the iron wood spirit leaf three times is already quite a good result. According to his measurement, the purity of this young man's refinement should be about five points. As expected by Qie Mier, after the light flickered several times on the machine, a big five characters suddenly appeared on the screen. "Five points. Congratulations for passing the test." Looking at the blood-red font, Mitchell nodded and smiled. "Next……" "Four points... pass." A second-grade pharmacist was pushed up and quickly prepared everything.After a while, the word four flashing on the screen made him let out a sigh of relief, then patted his chest and stepped aside. "Next……" "Five points, pass." "Next……" "Three points, failure." After passing through several successful ones, there was finally an unlucky second-grade pharmacist who retreated with a dejected expression. As the time of the test passed, Liu Ling finally came to the test machine calmly under the gaze of everyone, and then took out a jade bottle from the ring, carefully put it into the groove, raised her head and pointed at the test machine. Mir laughed and said, "The juniors are limited in strength and can only refine it six times." As soon as Liu Ling said this, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar. Not only the people below, but even Qie Mier and others looked at each other in surprise. They can refine the iron wood spirit leaf five times. But at least the peak strength of a third-grade alchemist is needed. With a low sigh, Qie Mier cast his eyes on the screen, where, after the light flickered for a while, a huge seven characters slowly appeared... "Seven points. Congratulations... you passed the test." With a light breath, Qie Mier smiled. Liu Ling smiled, and then stood aside, her eyes vaguely glanced at Xiao Yan who was standing at the back, closing his eyes and resting his mind. With the climax caused by Liu Ling, the subsequent tests will undoubtedly appear extremely dull.Those two or three refinements in twos and threes are hardly able to attract the hearts of Qie Mier and others. The innocence was not broken until the appearance of the little princess, this rather young girl.She actually refined the Tiemu Lingye five times, but perhaps due to some reasons due to experience, the score she got was 0.5 points worse than Liu Ling's. After the little princess, there are also a few powerful seeded players who have reached the sixth, but these are compared to Liu Ling.However, it was still a little short. Judging from this situation, it seemed that the best scorer this time was none other than Liu Ling. As the testers passed one by one, the center of the hall gradually became empty again. After a while, Xiao Yan was finally left standing alone in it. "Yan Xiao. It's your turn..." Looking at Xiao Yan who closed his eyes as if sleeping, Qie Mier urged helplessly. Hearing the urging sound, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and glanced lazily around.In the end, he stopped at Liu Ling who was looking at him with a smile, smiled faintly, and then cast comforting glances at Otto who was full of nervousness. Striding up a few stairs, Xiao Yan stopped beside the testing machine, took out the jade bottle containing the powder extracted from the iron wood spirit leaves from the ring, and then, under the speechless gazes of Qie Mier and others, , randomly thrown into the groove. "Little guy, how many times have you refined it?" Seeing Xiao Yan who hung his head and seemed to have no intention of speaking, Qie Mier could only ask proactively. "How many times?" Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and said somewhat uncertainly, "It seems... eight times." silence. The hall became dead silent at this moment. "Hmph, stupid guy, do you really think that such words can be reported casually?" Also choked by Xiao Yan's words once, the little princess finally couldn't help but sneered.She couldn't believe that a second-grade pharmacist could refine the Tiemu Lingye eight times. However, the sneer on the little princess' pretty face has not completely faded away.In the next moment, it suddenly froze.Because, on the screen of the testing machine, a huge red "Nine" character slowly emerged... "Nine points……" Looking at the big red characters, at this moment, Mitchell suddenly felt that his heart tightened suddenly...
