"Hahaha, looks like that piece of trash knows that he is not as good as others in pill concocting, that's why he found another way, to concoct poison pills." Bao Yu's obese face was filled with schadenfreude as he said, "However, concocting poison pills in the Alchemist Exchange Assembly, isn't that just touching the City Lord's brows?"
"I want to see how you will fight me!" Bao Yu thought complacently. At this moment, he seemed to see Tao Rui's ancient pill cauldron waving at him.
Beneath the stone platform, Liu Yiyi clenched her fists tightly as she stomped her feet on the ground. She cried out anxiously, "Oh my, how is Master Tao going to refine the poison pill?" This is it, Master Tao will definitely lose. "
Pausing for a moment, Liu Yiyi spoke to the two men beside her in dissatisfaction, "Uncle Bai, Uncle, why are you two not in a hurry at all?"
Zhang Ziyang's forehead was covered in black lines as he said bitterly, "Yiyi, can you not call me uncle? Am I that old? Also, do you think that Tao Rui, who had been preparing for this match for so long, would make such a low-leveled mistake? "
"That's right!" Uncle Bai also said loudly, "Yiyi, calm down and wait to see. If Master Tao is able to succeed this time around, then the revival of our Return of Spring Hall will not be far off. "
"Is that so?" Liu Yiyi pouted but still didn't quite believe him. However, at this moment, she didn't continue asking questions. Instead, she calmed her heart and continued watching Tao Rui's match.
The competition proceeded in an orderly manner. The alchemists on the stage were all focused on refining the strongest pills they could concoct. During this period of time, there were a few more Cauldron Explosion incidents that caused the atmosphere of the competition to become even more breathtaking.
The audience watched intently. No one said a word, as they didn't want to miss a single detail.
More than an hour had passed, and only a small layer of sand was left on the top layer of the huge hourglass. In less than an hour, the sand would have already flowed out and the competition would come to an end.
"Weng ~ ~ ~" Suddenly, a clear sound of fluctuation could be heard. A few pills suddenly flew out from one of the pill furnaces. The rich fragrance of the pills made everyone feel relaxed and happy.
"Look, someone is the first to refine a medicinal pill!" Someone from the crowd shouted.
"I know that person. His name is Yuan Tong, and he's Master Chang Hai's apprentice!"
"What? So he's Master Chang Hai's disciple? No wonder he's so powerful." Furthermore, looking at the quality and quantity of the pills, I reckon that this time's champion will be none other than him. " Upon hearing the identity of the alchemist, the others started to praise him. As the saying goes, 'love the house and love the Wu'. The image of Master Chang Hai had long been a legend in their hearts. Even his disciple was sought after.
With the appearance of the Yuan Tong's pill, a Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately came up with a tray made of locust wood. He placed the pill on the tray and quietly stood to the side.
Like the jade bottle, the locust tree could also lock onto the medicinal properties of the medicinal pills, preventing them from leaking.
Yuan Tong glanced at the surrounding alchemists complacently, and went to the side to fight without saying a word. In today's competition, whether it was due to his alchemy skills or background, he was determined to win.
Chang Hai also looked at his disciple with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction. Although Yuan Tong was only at the Mid Jindan Stage, the quantity of the pills was enough to make up for the lack in quality.
If his disciple could also become the champion of this Alchemist Competition, then his position in Eastwood Town would be even more stable! Therefore, just like Yuan Tong, he, as a master, was determined to win.
On the other hand, the face of the Vice Mayor grew even colder.
"What is it? Gui Long, what do you think? " Chang Hai looked at the deputy mayor beside him happily and teased.
"I don't have any thoughts. Right now, the competition is not over yet. It is unknown who will be the victor." Chang Hai, don't be too complacent, just be careful of nothing! " Gui Long suppressed the anger in his heart and coldly said.
Chang Hai teased him, "Then... Let's wait and see. "
At this moment, the crowd burst into cheers again. On the stone platform, another alchemist had finished refining the pill.
This apothecary had only refined one pill. However, the quality was similar to that of a Jindan Stage Late Phase pill!
"Hahaha, Wei Dong, great job! I didn't expect you to make it!" Gui Long suddenly stood up from his chair and praised the pill refiner with a smile.
Clearly, this alchemist called Wei Dong was one of his trusted aides.
"Chang Hai, even though your disciple was only able to concoct a middle stage Jindan Stage pill, my disciple was able to concoct a late stage Jindan Stage pill. I believe there is no difference between the two." This time, let's say I won! " Gui Long looked happy and his laughter was melodious.
However, Chang Hai was not in a hurry as he sat down in his seat. He had a calm and unhurried expression, and even his disciple Yuan Tong was standing quietly to one side with a confident look on his face.
"Bang!" Another explosion occurred. It turned out that an apothecary had accidentally detonated a cauldron at the very last moment when he had not grasped the proper timing.
This explosion immediately drew everyone's attention, and they all became even more careful. No one wanted to end up capsized in a ditch.
One by one, the pill refiners began to put away their pills, and one by one, they delivered them to the pill cauldron. However, these pills were also received by the organizers without the help of a pill refiner.
Tao Rui's entire body was drenched in sweat. Even with Chen Feng's guidance, it was not easy to concoct this pill. If it wasn't for his strong will, his heart would probably have been blown up, causing all his years of hard work to be wasted.
"Withdraw!" Tao Rui made a mysterious hand seal with both of his hands, and a burst of primeval essence followed the hand seal and struck the crucible.
"Weng ~ ~ ~" With the violent vibration of the bronze furnace, two shadows suddenly jumped out.
Tao Rui reacted quickly. He released a burst of primeval essence, instantly capturing the shadow.
At this moment, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator quickly walked to his side. He raised the tray in his hand and signaled Tao Rui to put down the pill.
Generally speaking, these staff members would take the initiative to collect the pills. However, the stench from before had already made many people suspicious of the poison pills that Tao Rui had refined. Even though the stench was no longer there, the staff did not dare to put themselves at risk.
The pill slowly fell onto the tray, spinning around as if it had a mind of its own. However, no one cared about the quality of these pills. Poison pills were poison pills. Regardless of their quality, they were impossible to obtain.
"Clang!"
Following the sound of a huge gong, the last grain of sand on the huge hourglass also fell.
Li An, who had gone somewhere, jumped out again and announced loudly, "I declare that the time is up! "Even an apothecary who hasn't reached the level of apothecary would lose his qualifications to forge such a pill!"
