Lou Mu Yan and the others sat for about an hour, when the competition tablet on her suddenly lit up, which indicated that the competition was about to start.
Ill go compete now. Lou Mu Yan stood up and said to the people in the private room.
Murong Qing brothers and Fei Yan Chen went to the Murong Clan and Beiyuan Imperial Familys private rooms earlier, while Wu Nuan and Lou Mu Ting who were left were excitedly cheering her on.
The group of spirit pets even shouted: Owner will win.
Lou Mu Yan took off the pendant around her neck and stuffed it to Mo Yan, then turned around and left the private room.
In a grand event such as the Alchemy Pagodas alchemy competition, thered be many powerhouses at Unification Realm coming to watch. She was still afraid that someone who had a strong probing aura would discover Jun Luo Chen in the pendant.
So she gave the pendant to Mo Yan. He could use a secret skill to hide the pendant.
In the alchemy competition, there was a specific competition stage that was separated by arrays. People outside could see the alchemists refining pills, but would isolate their aura, sound, and pressure.
After all, being disturbed during pill refining would affect ones state of mind and cause pill refining to fail.
Everyone who participated in the finals of the alchemy competition was led to a specific position on the competition stage by a pupil of the Alchemy Pagoda and each had an alchemy platform.
A moment later, an elderly man in a cyan shirt appeared on the field of the grand competition.
This old man is the Deputy Pagoda Master of the Central States Alchemy Pagoda. Today, I am honoured to be the main judge of this alchemy competition. The cyan-clothed man paused, then said: This old man now announces the rules of this alchemy competition.
This alchemy competition implements a scoring system. Each round of assessment is ten points. In the end, the three people with the highest scores will be the champion, runner-up, and second-runner up.
The alchemy competition is divided into three matches in total, and the first match is divided into two rounds.
The first round is still to identify the spiritual herbs and its efficacy, but this time, you will also need to write down the pills that can be refined from each spiritual herb. The second round involves analysing causes and treatment based on practical illnesses.
The second round is just an assessment for physicians, and you can give it up, but if you give up, it means that the score for this round is zero.
Under normal circumstances, an advanced-level alchemist could be a physician, but it just depended on whether they were good at it or not, so the second round was more biased, and depended on luck.
Each round in the first match is two hours. It begins now.
The cyan-clothed elderly man didnt explain the rules for the second match. It appeared that he would speak of it when the second match came around as a surprise.
Most of the rules of each alchemist competition were the same, but there would still be some changes.
Like the second round this time, it didnt appear in the previous competition.
After hearing the Central State Deputy Pagoda Master announce the rules, many faces of the alchemists who participated in the competition changed, feeling unsure. Although many alchemists had some physicians healing methods, but they werent proficient.
As soon as the first round of the first match began, a platform rose from the middle of each table in front of the alchemist, and five hundred spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and spiritual flowers were placed on it.
Lou Mu Yan scanned them casually and found that some were still level 8 spiritual herbs. This was obviously more difficult than the divisional competitions.
She quickly placed all her mental energy on identifying the spiritual herbs, and wrote down the names, medicinal properties, functions, and pills that could be refined from each type on a blank jade slip prepared by the competition organisers.
Within an hour, she had identified and written out all five hundred spiritual herbs and handed them over to the assistant judge beside her.
Not far from every contestant, a judges supervisory deputy will stand to prevent anyone from cheating using any hidden means.
The judges deputy beside Lou Mu Yan was stunned when he saw her handing in the jade slip so quickly, guessing that this young woman probably couldnt recognise a lot.
There wasnt much emotion on his face, and he directly sent the jade slip to the main judges seat for the three judges to make a decision.
After discovering that Lou Mu Yan had handed over the jade slip so quickly, the other alchemists present were all surprised.
There were five hundred kinds of spiritual herbs to be identified one by one, and there were many spiritual herbs that could confuse people. The two hours given by the competition organisers were actually compressed and wasnt enough for many physicians to use. She was actually wasting time.
Lan Ruo Shi, who also participated in the competition together, had already identified more than four hundred kinds of spiritual herbs at the moment. She looked at Lou Mu Yan coldly, and the indescribable dislike in her heart deepened. She also had a kind of feeling as if she was a rival.
Although she felt as if she had a formidable enemy, but she didnt think that Lou Mu Yan had recognised all five hundred kids of spiritual herbs. There were many level 7 and level 8 spiritual herbs in here, which made it difficult for even her to identify them.
There were several people sitting in the Alchemy Pagodas private room, with a red-haired middle-aged man as their leader.
Shes the Lou Mu Yan you mentioned? His voice was thick and deep, containing an invisible powder.
The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State nodded and said: Thats indeed the girl. It took her only one incense stick of time last time to identify two hundred spiritual herbs, and all were correct.
Do you think she can identify all five hundred kids of spiritual herbs in an hour and write down their medicinal properties and pills refined? The red-haired elderly man continued to ask without any emotion.
If you look at her performance and temperament in the Northern State branch venue, I think shed at least have the confidence of advancing, hence she submitted the results so quickly. The Deputy Pagoda Master said.
The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Eastern State asked with a smile: You have that much confidence in this girl?
Yes, Im very optimistic about her. The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State said firmly.
If she could identify four hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, she at least wasnt reckless. The red-haired man said faintly.
The Northern State Pagoda Master said with a smile: She should be able to identify four hundred kinds of spiritual herbs.
According to the previous sessions, if one could identify more than two hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, theyd pass the test in the first round.
Within two hours, Lan Ruo Shui and Zhou Zhou, a young genius from the Alchemy Pagoda, also followed closely behind and handed in their jade slips.
An hour later, the time for the first round of competition was up.
Some people had bitter expressions. The time was obviously too short, and they hadnt written all the spiritual herbs that they could recognise down.
After an incense stick of time, the Deputy Pagoda Maser of the Central State walked up to the top with a list.
The results of the first round of this competition isnt bad. I will announce the results and scores of all the participating alchemists below. Those with a score of five or more can continue to participate in the second round of the competition. Those with a score of less than five will be eliminated directly.
First place, Lou Mu Yan, identifying a total of five hundred kinds of spiritual herbs. The name, medicinal properties, efficacy, and the type of pills that could be refined are listed one by one for each spiritual herb, scoring ten points.
Second place, Lan Ruo Shui, identified a total of five hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, three of which had no names of the pills that could be refined from it, scoring nine points.
Third place, Zhou Zhou, identified a total of five hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, five of which had no pills that could be refined from it listed, scoring eight points.
Fourth place
After the chief judge read out the list of people advancing, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.
The alchemists present all revealed looks of disbelief one after the other.
