C940 Troublesome
As soon as he entered the Small Pill Tower, Lee Zhuohua discovered that the space inside was very large. There was a square at the back, where dozens of young alchemists stood. Each of them had a pill furnace in front of them.
The appearance of Lee Zhuohua and the other two also attracted the attention of these people. They all looked over. In their opinion, Lee Zhuohua and the other two did not have the temperament of an alchemist at all. All of them subconsciously thought that Lee Zhuohua was just a low level alchemist.
"Participants are allowed in here, you two?" At this moment, a guard came out and stopped Bai Yi and Yu Zun. Because these two were not young like Lee Zhuohua and the others, the guard thought that they were Lee Zhuohua's followers.
"All of you, wait for me at the side." Lee Zhuohua could also tell that the participants here were all young people, so he turned his head and said to Bai Yi and the others.
The two in white nodded and did not follow them in.
Lee Zhuohua walked into the group of young alchemists alone. In front of him was a pill furnace that the Small Pill Tower had prepared for all the alchemists, because it was a test of alchemy here, so the pill furnace was not allowed to use its owner.
There were also various kinds of materials placed beside the pill furnace. The materials in front of everyone were different. Lee Zhuohua took a glance and found that they were all low-level materials. He had a rough idea of how this competition would proceed.
At this time, an old man wearing a white robe walked out and arrived in front of a group of young alchemists.
The old man emitted a tyrannical aura. He was a Dou Huang. His gaze swept across the group of alchemists, and his face was filled with dignity. He was the master of the Small Pill Tower, the strongest alchemist in the Broken Leaf City, and a Level 4 alchemist, Wan Mu.
"Today is the first round of the alchemy competition in the Broken Leaf City. In front of all of you, there are pill furnaces of the same quality and materials, and in the first round, everyone can use the materials in front of you to refine Pills according to your own will, and only the top ten will be won." Wan Mu shouted to the group of young apothecaries.
Every alchemist had a confident expression on their faces. They were very clear about the rules and everyone thought that they were the geniuses who could stand to the very end.
"Since everyone already knows the rules, then the competition will officially begin. Remember that there are only four hours left in the first round." Wan Mu said.
In the end, he looked in Lee Zhuohua's direction, because he knew most of the alchemists here. After all, all of them were people from the Broken Leaf City, but he was extremely unfamiliar with Lee Zhuohua's face. He had never seen Lee Zhuohua before, so he was a little confused.
"That person is not someone from our Broken Leaf City, right?" Wan Mu retreated to the main seat and asked an old man beside him.
This old man was the second-in-command of the Small Pill Tower. His name was He Xinsong, and he was also a Level 4 alchemist.
Hearing Wan Mu's words, He Xin Song also looked in Lee Zhuohua's direction. His old face started to frown. Obviously, he was also puzzled about who Lee Zhuohua was.
"Perhaps the alchemists from the surrounding cities are here to participate in our Broken Leaf City's competition." He Xinsong guessed.
Hearing He Xinsong's words, Wan Mu also lost interest in Lee Zhuohua. He also felt that Lee Zhuohua was from the surrounding cities.
In Wan Mu's mind, the person who had the highest chance of winning this year's alchemy competition was the Chen family's Chenhua. She had already become a Level 3 alchemist at such a young age, but the person from the Qin family also had the qualifications to win the championship.
It was only when you saw the end that you knew who was the final winner.
After Wan Mu announced the start of the competition, the alchemists in the square all displayed their skills and began to use the materials in front of them to refine pills.
Chenhua's gaze swept across the materials in front of him, and his hands quickly moved. One by one, the materials flew in front of him, and then fell back into the pill furnace.
The skilled technique made the alchemist at the side slightly stunned for a moment. He was a little curious as to what kind of Pills he was going to refine.
"These medicinal herbs he chose, it seems like he wants to refine Tier 3 Pills." Wan Mu squinted his eyes and immediately saw through Chenhua's plan.
On the other side, Qin Nanqin also began to refine the ingredients. He lit a flame in his hand and removed the impurity from the selected ingredients. Then he threw them into the furnace and started to refine them with a big fire.
His technique was in sharp contrast to Chenhua's. It seemed to be very hot. Wan Mu, who was sitting at the head of the table, also noticed what was going on with Qin Nanqin.
"Oh? He also wants to refine Tier 3 Pills. "Wan Mu's eyes lit up. He was very clear about the methods of these two young alchemists.
Chenhua wanted to refine a type of Pill called the Clear Sky Pill. This kind of Pill had a miraculous effect on removing inner demons. It was a high-grade Pill among Tier 3 Pills. However, this kind of Pill was extremely difficult to refine, and in order to successfully refine it, every step had to be extremely tight.
What Qin Nanqin wanted to refine was a type of Pill called the Tiger's Soul Pill. This kind of Pill was able to instantly recover all of the A Strong Warrior Of The Fighting King's Qi, and it was also an extremely high quality Tier 3 Pills.
The Tiger Soul Pill and the Green Cloud Pill both belonged to Tier 3 Pills, but the latter was a bit more difficult to refine, but the quality was much easier. The former was a little higher, and if the two of them wanted to determine the victor through these two Pills, they would have to look at the quality of the Pills that they had refined in the end.
"These two are not bad. They can be considered to be the best of our Broken Leaf City. The other alchemists here cannot compare to them." He Xinsong said from the side.
"Where's the outsider?" Wan Mu suddenly thought of Lee Zhuohua and turned his head to look.
At this moment, Lee Zhuohua had yet to begin refining. He was measuring the refining methods of the surrounding alchemists, and found that their refining methods were no different from some of the primary alchemists in the Great Thousand World.
He was not in a hurry to start refining pills. Although he was already very good at refining pills, his skills in refining pills would never be forgotten in his mind.
He also saw the two of them refining the pills. He touched his chin and nodded.
"It seems that those two are the most powerful among these people." Lee Zhuohua thought in his heart.
What Lee Zhuohua did not know was that his observation of others without refining the pill had already fallen into the eyes of Wan Mu and Lee Zhuohua.
"Why hasn't he started yet? It's only been four hours. He's going to waste it like this?" He Xinsong shook his head when he saw that Lee Zhuohua hadn't made a move yet.
Four hours seemed to be ample, but through tempering the medicinal properties, removing the impurities, and then refining the medicinal liquid, and finally forming the pill, four hours was actually very pressing.
Therefore, when He Xinsong saw that Lee Zhuohua had yet to make a move, he had this expression.
"Don't tell me he is here to cause trouble?" He Xinsong had such a thought in his heart.
However, Wan Mu did not say anything. He looked at Lee Zhuohua and narrowed his eyes. He had a feeling that Lee Zhuohua had a calm demeanor. He did not think that Lee Zhuohua was here to cause trouble.
But he could not understand why Lee Zhuohua had not started refining the pill yet.
"Bam!"
A dull sound was heard, and everyone in the square looked over. It turned out that an alchemist had lost control of the fire and caused the furnace to explode. The alchemist's face was black.
The explosion meant that he had lost his qualification. He retreated to the side with a dejected expression.
