Outside the auditorium, beside a main road of the Cang Ling Academy, Liu Feng stood under a tree and waited anxiously.
After a while, a young man ran over hurriedly.
Liu Feng anxiously asked, "How is it? Is everyone out yet? "
The man chuckled, then gave Liu Feng a thumbs up, and laughed: "Everyone has left, and has not been discovered. But young master's technique is truly powerful, that Lu Ming went up on stage just now, and is currently sparring with Huang Shu. "
Liu Feng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the man's words. Things were still proceeding according to his plan.
"Send the message, the people who called out today will get five Spirit Stones each." "But remember to keep this in your stomach. I won't forgive anyone who dares to reveal it."
Looking at the man's figure leaving in a hurry, Liu Feng's eyes flashed with a bright light.
Lu Ming, let's see how you'll deal with this on the count of destroying the relationship between the two academies.
There was complete silence in the auditorium. Even though there was a soundproofing array, everyone held their breath subconsciously, afraid that they would disturb the two on the stage.
"Fatty Bai squeezed to the front and sat down beside Beautiful teacher, pressing down so hard that the chair creaked. Little Aunt, why do you think Lu Ming would not move?
Beautiful teacher looked at Lu Ming who was on the stage worriedly and replied impatiently, "I'm not him, how would I know?"
After being scolded by his aunt, Fatty Bai sat there obediently, watching Lu Ming who was deep in thought with his eyes closed.
The competition had already started for five minutes and Huang Shu had already picked the pills he needed. Whether it be research or grinding, in just a short period of time, more than ten sets of ingredients had already been completed.
He ignited the spiritual flame in the pill furnace and started to place the spiritual herbs into the furnace according to the sequence. Although his movements were not fast, there was a hint of a rhythmic charm to his movements. His orderly manner was very focused.
Han Qingyi stood below the stage, and upon seeing Huang Shu's actions, he could not help but nod his head in approval. Although she hated Huang Shu, she had to admit that he had talent in the field of alchemy. His speed was almost the same as hers.
But when she turned to look at Lu Ming, her eyes were filled with doubt. Lu Ming had been standing there with his eyes closed for a long time, and he had not even processed any spiritual medicines. Could it be that he was prepared to admit defeat when the time was up?
Many of the people below the stage had the same thoughts as her. They all sighed when they saw Lu Ming standing there motionlessly. From their point of view, this meant that Lu Ming was probably prepared to sacrifice himself in exchange for the relationship between the two academies.
Although Lu Ming was still standing inside the array, his consciousness had already entered into the bronze hall.
Lu Ming stood in front of the pill furnace and focused on staring at the medicinal herbs inside the furnace, he asked Old Dragon who was on the wall, his tone filled with worry.
"Old Long, are you sure that this hall is not the same as the time flow in the outside world?"
"I am certain of that. The speed of your spiritual sense is unparalleled. Your current strength is still low, so you can probably reach 1: 3. When your strength increases and you become like the outside world, you will be able to live here for a year. "
"That's good."
With a casual answer, Lu Ming continued to focus on the spiritual herbs in the furnace, and from time to time, he would channel a few spirit arts into it.
From the very beginning, Lu Ming did not plan to refine pills directly. Although he had a lot of knowledge on pill refining in his mind, he had never even touched a pill furnace since he was practicing the art of pill refining. If he had decided to concoct pills, he would probably be completely defeated by Huang Shu.
Fortunately, the last time he came here, Old Dragon mentioned that the flow of time here was different from the outside world. That was why he came here so he could get more familiar with the place. Who would have thought that Old Dragon would be able to use spirit stones to conjure spiritual herbs? This gave him a place to practice.
"Bam!"
Just as Lu Ming was distracted, the spirit liquid that was about to be formed inside the pill furnace immediately boiled, and with a bang, it exploded into charcoal.
Damn it, it's about to happen again.
Lu Ming cursed in his heart as he swiftly took out the coke and put in a new set of spirit medicine.
The art of pill concocting was something that a genius could succeed in without even making a single attempt. Everyone had trained themselves from failure to failure.
Furthermore, in the outside world, Huang Shu was already at the last step of concocting the pellet, the pellet.
The Spiritual Arts in his hands flashed as he flew into the pill furnace one by one. The boiling and churning spirit liquid within the pill furnace gradually calmed down. It was continuously fused together by the spirit art and finally turned into a ball of spirit liquid. Next was the drying of the spirit liquid. All he needed to do was wait for the spirit liquid to condense into a pill. It could be said that Huang Shu's pill refining this time was already 90% sure.
Principal Gui smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation to Huang Shu, but in his heart he was secretly anxious.
What was Lu Ming doing? Even if he didn't know how to refine pills, it was better than standing there foolishly and waiting for him to admit defeat.
Half an hour had passed, and there was only half an hour left. Even if Lu Ming started now, it would be too late. There were already many people sighing and complaining below the stage. With Lu Ming's level, wasn't he just throwing his face away at Cang Ling Academy?
"With this level, I can do it too."
"That's right, this is really the shame of our Cang Ling Academy."
"He lost his face and went to another academy."
The people below the stage were discussing and complaining about it, some of them even had confidence in Lu Ming.
At this time, Liu Feng had already turned back, and sat down as he looked at Lu Ming complacently.
Kid, are you going against me? You can't find your way around.
Right at the moment when everyone was in their hundred states, Lu Ming suddenly moved from the array.
He opened his eyes with a confident expression, walked to the side of the pile of elixirs and began to pick.
"Fireplume, Iron Bone Grass, and the Spirit-Cleansing Wood, what is this boy trying to refine?"
Mu Yuanfang recognized the spiritual medicines that Lu Ming had chosen one by one and could not help but let out a light cry of surprise. Because with her many years of experience in pill refining, she was actually unable to see what kind of pill Lu Ming was refining. Could it be that this brat was choosing his pick when he saw that he couldn't win?
Lu Ming treated the spirit herbs very simply, instead of going through the complicated process of grinding them, he directly threw them into the pill furnace.
This action caused those who knew how to refine pills to laugh out loud. Because refining pills was an extremely precise job, and even had extremely harsh requirements on the place and what medicinal ingredients to put in, they had never seen such a simple and crude method of refining pills like Lu Ming.
Pouring the pills into the furnace, Lu Ming raised his head and looked at the timer.
Time remaining: 25 minutes!
