Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanyao managed to produce the pill almost at the same time as him, and the success rate was incredibly high, reaching 100%.
No wonder President Qin Ming would accept her as a disciple, her talent is truly extraordinary!
It seems 1 have to give it my all in the upcoming finals.
His gloomy eyes flashed slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.
He continued to look around, wanting to see if there were any potential opponents.
Huh? At this moment, his gaze suddenly fell on the 156th competition platform.
At this time, Lu Yun was sitting on the blue stone platform, utterly bored, with his eyes slightly closed, looking drowsy.
Because he had refined the pill early and could not leave the stage because of the competition, he could only pass the time like this.
Heh, even if he had become a Third Grade Alchemist early on, without enough experience, he couldnt even refine a finished pill.
With a snort in his heart, Mu Changfengs gaze moved away, and at the same time, he eliminated Lu Yun from his list of potential competitors.
In his opinion, Lu Yuns appearance was clearly due to the impact of his failure in alchemy, and he had no choice but to languish like this.
As for the possibility that Lu Yun had already refined the pill early on, he believed that it was completely unrealistic.
As the sand in the huge hourglass became less and less, the preliminary contest gradually came to an end. Pill fragrance drifted out from time to time between the two competition areas, Alchemists showed a proud smile on their faces, a strong sense of achievement.
At the same time, most of the competition platforms occasionally emitted rumbles, accompanied by heavy smoke and pungent aromas, gloomy winds fluttered in all directions.
These so-called genius Alchemists with unkempt hair and flower-like faces no longer showed their previous arrogance and proud demeanor, and like failing elementary school students, they had no choice but to leave the competition platform with dejected faces.
Once they voluntarily left the competition platform before the time was up, they were considered to have automatically forfeited the game.
At this point, the preliminary contest was nearing its end, and it was too late to start refining the pill again, so giving up was their only choice.
Sitting on the competition platform, Lu Yun opened his eyes, watching those contestants leaving one by one, then looked around again, somewhat startled to find that nearly half of the people had already been eliminated before the preliminary contest was over.
Moreover, this didnt include those who were concentrating their attention and devotedly working on the final step.
As Lu Yun observed the others, some people were also observing him.
Strange, this kid has already failed, but why is he still sitting on the competition platform? Mu Changfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint sense of unease rose in his heart.
Sure enough, not long after, the moment when the last grain of sand in the huge hourglass had run out, the deep and resounding sound of the bell reverberated throughout the entire venue.
Qin Ming, who was sitting on the high platform, stood up, swept his gaze over the audience, and then said loudly: The competition is over. All contestants, please put the pills you have refined on the blue stone platforms, so the staff can check them. Those who have not successfully refined the pills, please leave the stage voluntarily.
As his words fell, he waved his hand, and the staff quickly entered the arena.
Lu Yun noticed that the staff member who arrived before him was holding a delicate, attractive-looking instrument.
After the staff entered, Qin Mings voice rang out again.
I believe you have all seen the instrument in the hands of the staff. It is a pill testing device. As long as you put your refined pill inside, and if it emits a green light, it means that you have refined the correct pill and have passed the preliminary round. If it flashes red or does not emit any light, even if the pill is formed, it will be considered a failure!
Some people may ask why a flashing red light would be considered a failure, let me explain clearly: if the instrument flashes red, it means that what you have refined is not a healing pill, but a poison
As for those that dont flash at all, its simple: a pill that can neither save nor harm people, a mere ordinary pellet how could it be called a pill?
Upon hearing this, laughter erupted from both the audience and the VIP seats.
Meanwhile, some Alchemists on the stage blushed slightly, then surreptitiously put away their pills and quietly left the stage.
Seeing that many people tactfully left the stage, a satisfied smile appeared on Qin Mings face.
Hehe, lets start the inspection!
The staff member responsible for inspecting Lu Yuns work was a female Alchemist in a purple robe. A purple belt wrapped around her waist, accentuating her full and mature figure.
After receiving Qin Mings instructions, she smiled slightly at Lu Yun, picked up the purple jade bottle on the stone platform, gently removed the lid, and poured out a round Rejuvenation Pill. She immediately placed it on the apparatus.
Suddenly, the delicate and ingenious apparatus emitted dazzling green light, instantly illuminating the entire stage.
A truly top-notch pill with a pill pattern indeed! Such a brilliant light! The staff member praised before collecting the purple jade bottle, the scroll on the stone platform, and all the remaining spirit herbs.
Next, after a quick registration, she took out a large stack of neatly arranged spirit herbs along with a new scroll and placed them on the stone platform.
Throughout this process, Lu Yuns eyes stayed fixated on the jade bottle.
To him, it represented not only the fruits of his labors over the past four hours but also hundreds of energy points.
Reluctantly shifting his gaze from the departing female Alchemist, he looked in other directions.
At this time, green lights of varying intensity were continuously flickering on all the stages.
Apparently, almost all the remaining Alchemists had succeeded in creating actual medicinal pills.
However, there were still a few of them who revealed their true colors and fled the scene blushing as they failed the test.
As the inspections ended, only about fifty people remained in the Third Grade Alchemist area, a nearly 80% elimination rate, which demonstrated the difficulty of the preliminaries.
What caught Lu Yuns attention was that Yin Hualin actually managed to create a genuine medicinal pill and wasnt eliminated.
As for the Second Grade Alchemist area, about one hundred and thirty people remained. However, Lu Yun only saw a lazy-looking Deng Yunhui, while Di Ruoling and the other two Spirit Martial Prefectures Alchemists were already eliminated.
Glancing back towards the audience seating, he noticed Di Ruoling sitting relaxed in her original seat, with a smile on her pretty face, showing no signs of the frustration that everyone else seemed to feel after being eliminated.
All this girl might have just come here for fun! Lu Yun shook his head and looked away.
At this point, the victorious Alchemists who had advanced to the finals were seated in their original spots, closing their eyes and recuperating while adjusting their state. bender
For Lu Yun, the Aura Origin he had consumed while refining the pill just now was insignificant as he had already recovered to his peak state after finishing the refining process.
As the midday sun slowly rose and filled the open sky, the venue became lively once again.
Dong!
At some point, a crisp ringing sound echoed and resounded throughout the venue.
At that very moment, the Alchemists who were sitting with their eyes closed and legs crossed all opened their eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up, lifting their gazes towards the elevated platform where Qin Ming stood.
Perhaps because the final round of the competition was about to begin, the noise of the entire venue reached its peak, and even the crisp and melodious ringing sound couldnt make it stop.
Ahem
However, with Qin Ming clearing his throat, all the noise and clamor in the field vanished in an instant.
On the high platform, Qin Ming gently coughed and swept his gaze over the audience with a faint smile..
