Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Thrilling

Standing quietly in front of the blue stone platform, Xiao Yan slightly pushed away the crimson cauldron in front of him. Now he did not immediately summon the flames to refine like other alchemists, but quietly held the Frowning slightly on the thin paper, he carefully read the few information on it. Xiao Yan still clearly understands the truth that sharpening a knife does not require chopping firewood. There are only two chances, and any negligence will result in failure. The elixir that needs to be refined in this assessment is a second-grade elixir called "Shenggu Pill". As the name suggests, this is a elixir used to treat those who are seriously injured. This healing elixir Generally speaking, they are not too precious. This kind of "Bone Bone Pill" is probably only worth a few hundred or thousands of gold coins on the market. As far as medicine is concerned, this value seems a bit shabby.

A total of six medicinal materials are needed to refine the "Bone Bone Pill", which is not extremely complicated among all second-grade pills, but this "Bone Bone Pill" is obviously a new type of healing medicine specially prepared by the guild. So even though Xiao Yan had seen many healing medicines, he was still a bit unfamiliar with this "Bone Bone Pill". But although there are many kinds of healing pills, strange and weird, but the so-called different routes lead to the same goal, the general context of refining these healing medicines is similar, but the degree of complexity is different. The operation is not weak, and he can still find out the refining method of "Bone Pill".

Therefore, even if the prescription only gives the general things that need to be paid attention to when refining the medicine, as long as one follows the feeling, it must still be successful... Recording all the information on the tissue paper in detail, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he gradually opened them. He let out a breath, put the tissue paper on the stage, and turned his head to look around. It was discovered that the little princess and Liu Ling were already urging the flames and began to refine them. The flames activated by the medicine cauldrons of the two people are both the same dark yellow color, which is a flame completely catalyzed by battle energy, but Xiao Yan believes that this should not be the bottom line of the two of them, perhaps, they both have Hidden hole cards, in their identities, it is extremely normal to have hole cards.

"These two people, no matter what their tempers are, they are really strong in actual operation..." He sighed softly in his heart. Ever since he first came into contact with alchemy, Xiao Yan has been full of calculations, and he has only studied for three years. Little princess, for people like Liu Ling, who may have been trained by their teachers since they were young, Xiao Yan is naturally unable to catch up in some respects. , to catch up with the achievements of others for more than ten years. And it is precisely because of this that even though the little princess has reached the third-rank level at this age, Xiao Yan still does not feel the slightest hit. , it is not too surprising.

At this time, more than ten minutes have passed since the start of the assessment, and in this short period of ten minutes, on the huge square, there are flashing red lights from time to time, and behind the stone platform with red lights, those The failed pharmacists can only choose to quit in despair. For some pharmacists who like to refine elixirs in a regular manner, this kind of slanted assessment almost kills them... Glancing faintly at a pharmacist walking outside the field with his head bowed and crying, Xiao Yan shook his head, ignored him, and devoted himself completely to the refining that was about to start. middle.

Putting the dark red cauldron squarely in front of him, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together, flipped his fingers, and a purple pill appeared between his fingers. With a flick of his fingers, the purple pill shot straight into Xiao Yan's mouth, chewing slowly, and after a while, his mouth opened suddenly, and a mass of purple flames spewed out, and Xiao Yan immediately held it in his palm. "Wow? The purple flame?" Because he was in the most attention-getting position in the audience, and because of his impressive appearance earlier, there were countless people watching Xiao Xiao all the time, no matter in the VIP seats or the audience seats. Seeing Yan's every move, he suddenly burst out with gorgeous purple flames, and there were bursts of exclamations at that moment.

Although there were some strangely colored flames in the huge square, Xiao Yan's strange way of spitting them out still attracted many eyes. "Purple flame?" Looking at the purple flame on Xiao Yan's palm, Fa Ma was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said: "This little guy really has some foundation." Hearing this, Hai Bodong curled his lips at the side. After being with Xiao Yan for so long, he knew the details of this guy best. This purple flame was only the weakest among the flames he controlled. That's all, the other kind of cold white flames and light blue flames are terrifying strange fires that even Hai Bodong is afraid of.

The purple flame jumped like an elf on the palm of Xiao Yan. After a while, Xiao Yan waved his palm lightly, and the purple flame was thrown directly into the mouth of the fire. Immediately, the raging purple fire was inside the medicine cauldron. Rising and burning, the cold cauldron is rapidly heating up... When the temperature inside the cauldron rose to a certain limit, Xiao Yan put his palm on the mouth of the fire, slowly closed his eyes, and his soul power rose out, gradually controlling the rise of the purple fire. Because the control over Zihuo is far less fine than that of Qinglian's heart fire, Xiao Yan can only touch the medicine cauldron with his hands at this time, so that he can precisely control Zihuo. With the out-of-hand control of Qinghuo, I am afraid that the already high refining failure rate will skyrocket again... For this assessment with only two chances, Xiao Yan really dare not take that kind of risk.

The purple flame, under the control of Xiao Yan's soul power, suppressed his own temperature very obediently, without the slightest resistance. After a while, Xiao Yan made a move with his palm, and a plant of medicinal herbs on the stone platform was crushed. Inhale it into your hand, pinch it lightly, and then throw it into the medicine cauldron. Immediately, the purple fire surges up and wraps it quickly... With his eyes closed, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Using his soul perception, he slowly refined the medicinal materials. Refining elixir, the refining of medicinal materials must reach a certain level. It will lead to the failure of refining, and it is precisely because of this that the orthodox prescriptions are particularly important, because most of the orthodox prescriptions have detailed records on the boundaries of the purity of the medicinal materials.

It's a pity that the current Xiao Yan doesn't have such a precise prescription, so all of this has to be slowly tested by himself using his perception. It took Xiao Yan more than ten minutes for a low-level herb to gradually reach the point where he thought he could do it. At this time, he carefully put the second herb into the medicine cauldron. Taking advantage of the spare moment when he put in the medicinal materials, Xiao Yan glanced at the two sides, and found that although the little princess and Liu Ling also had dignified faces, there was no panic in their hands and feet, and there was no panic on their faces. Everything is under their control.

"Boom!" Just when Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, on a stone platform not far in front, the blazing cauldron couldn't resist the increasingly hot temperature, it exploded suddenly, and with the cauldron In the explosion, the elixir that was being refined was also declared shattered, so the ruthless red light lit up blindingly. His hair was burnt black and his face was beyond recognition. The pharmacist stared at the flashing red light stupidly. After a long while, he stepped off the stage cursing, gritted his teeth, and walked out of the square under the gaze of countless eyes. , when passing in front of Xiao Yan, the latter was a little surprised to find that this loser was actually a third-grade alchemist from another country... "Poor guy..." He smiled gloatingly in his heart, Xiao Yan put this little episode aside, continued to carefully put the medicinal materials, one by one, into the medicine cauldron, and then patiently tested The best purity of refining, and with the lessons learned from the previous loser, the current Xiao Yan is undoubtedly more cautious. As time passed slowly, on the huge square, there were constantly flashing red lights, and all the alchemists whose faces were ashen or red all left the stage helplessly, and then there were countless regretful eyes on the stands Under their gaze, they resentfully left this place that made them sad and angry. However, although the assessment this time is quite difficult, it has to be said that there are many qualified people who came to participate in the conference. Apart from those who failed for various reasons, there are at least half of the alchemists. Just like Xiao Yan, quietly and carefully testing the purity of the medicinal materials. When the huge hourglass on the wall slipped nearly halfway down, Xiao Yan's test of the purity of the material was finally completed. Except for the fact that he accidentally burned two medicinal plants in the refining room, Xiao Yan's achievements were still considered to be Quite rich. And the next step is to start fusing various refined medicinal materials to form a real "Bone Bone Pill". This step will be more cumbersome than the previous refining. During this period, if you are a little distracted, it may lead to the complete destruction of the medicinal materials. If the medicinal materials are consumed, then the next assessment, Xiao Yan will also can be removed directly. Aware of the criticality of this step, Xiao Yan had already prepared to turn his battle qi into a thin film, covering his ears, and blocking out some noise from the outside world. As the noise from the outside world subsided, Xiao Yan's mind gradually became quiet. He let out a mouthful of turbid air, closed his eyes again, and quickly picked up a jade bottle on the stone platform with his palm. Holding the jade bottle, Xiao Yan paused for a moment to pour the extracted essence into the medicine cauldron. Immediately afterwards, he quickly threw the two bottles of refined materials into the medicine cauldron among... The soul power carefully controls the purple fire, and slowly smokes the medicinal powders that do not agree with each other. The special effects reflected in their subtle fusion will be quickly fed back to Xiao Xiao through the soul power in the purple fire. Yan's mind, and then he can use this information to determine whether the direction of fusion is correct or not. This kind of feedback analysis is an extremely energy-consuming analysis work, but fortunately, what Xiao Yan needs to analyze now is only a second-grade prescription. He is a pharmacist of the third rank, even if he is replaced by a pharmacist of the fourth rank or fifth rank, it is basically impossible to analyze it. After all, if analyzing the prescription is really such a simple matter, then the prescription is not easy How is it worth the money... "Boom..." Frowning slightly, he carefully sensed the fusion of medicinal ingredients. At a certain moment, Xiao Yan's face suddenly changed slightly. Inside the medicinal cauldron, the purple fire suddenly churned, and a low muffled sound came from the medicinal cauldron. Almost half of the three medicinal materials were fused, and they were reduced to black ashes in an instant, and after the materials were reduced to ashes, the purple fire rising in the medicinal cauldron was quietly annihilated... Looking at the ashes of medicinal materials with narrowed eyes, Xiao Yan opened his mouth slightly, and patted his head annoyed. Due to his over-concentration, he even forgot that the purple fire had no back-up support, so the burning time, at least Only an hour at most. The muffled sound in the cauldron furnace was not too low, so shortly after the sound sounded, the little princess and Liu Ling who were not far away from Xiao Yan cast their gazes over, as soon as they saw Xiao Yan's flameless medicine Ding Shi was all taken aback, the former was better, just showing a helpless expression towards Xiao Yan, while the latter, gloating at his misfortune, raised the corner of his mouth, but felt a sense of inadequacy. On the high platform, looking at Xiao Yan whose flame suddenly went out, Fa Ma and the others were taken aback, but they didn't say anything, they just waited quietly. There should still be a portion of the medicinal materials left, so he still has a chance, of course... The premise is that he must hurry up, because the huge hourglass opposite is only one-third full. Taking a light breath of the hot air, Xiao Yan stared at the pitch-black ashes in the medicine cauldron, slightly closed his eyes, opened them slowly after a while, and suddenly smiled faintly. He has already figured out a rough idea of ​​the refining method of "Bone Pill". Next, it should be the smooth refining method... Taking out another purple pill from the ring, Xiao Yan put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Taking advantage of this short time, he glanced around and found that the little princess and the person in front of Liu Ling Inside the medicine cauldron, the rudimentary form of a pill has already begun to condense. Obviously, in a short while, it should be a pill... "Not bad speed... It's really a bit crazy capital." Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Yan opened his mouth slightly, and the purple flame spewed out again, and then poured it into the cauldron. His hands were slightly silent, and after a while, he suddenly started to move. With his hands flying, the six little jades placed in front of him The bottle turned out to be poured into the medicine cauldron by him... "You want to fuse six kinds of medicinal materials at the same time? Although this can save a lot of time, if the soul power is not strong enough, if you can't operate it, you are basically asking for a dead end..." Looking at Xiao Yan's expression below Move, Fa Ma and Otto and those experienced people murmured in a low voice. Staring closely at the blazing cauldron, Xiao Yan's soul power controlled the purple fire to separate all the materials, and then slowly approached them while being smoked. As they approached, they finally merged gradually. the trend of…… The huge hourglass, the sand grains in it, poured down rapidly. "clang!" At a certain moment, the clear sound of beating the tripod resounded above the square. Liu Ling took the lead in slapping the cauldron with his palm, and the cauldron cover was ejected, and a round pill flew out, and then he jumped up and grabbed it into his hand, the pride on his face was hard to hide. "Dang!" There was another crisp sound, and on the other side, with a slender move from the little princess, a pill shot out from the medicine cauldron. "Clang, clang, clang..." After these two voices, it was as if a chain reaction had taken place on the huge square. Cauldron lids were ejected one by one, and hundreds of pills of different shapes were ejected from the cauldron, facing the cauldron. The sky flew away, and then they were excitedly grabbed into the hands of their owners. "The time is coming..." He stared fixedly at the central position, Xiao Yan still closed his eyes, and then looked at the hourglass that was about to end on the opposite side, Otto's palm suddenly clenched, this guy, every time the assessment, It's all about scaring people. In the square, countless lines of sight were slowly projected to the place where Xiao Yan was located in the center. Looking at the little grains of sand rushing down in the hourglass, everyone wanted to know, who was standing at the most attention-getting position? Young people, can they complete this round of tests at the last moment... In the hourglass, a handful of grains of sand quietly fell, and when the last grain of sand was about to roll down, boos of regret resounded from both the audience seats and the VIP seats. "clang……" The young man who closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, tapped the cauldron with his palm, the cauldron cover flew, and the round pill flew out at the last moment, dazzling and dazzling...
