C50

"In this competition, we don't compete with time or level, we compete with experience in alchemy."

When the words came out, the An Tian brothers could no longer sit still. Just as they wanted to stand up, they were suppressed by Gu Ling Xue.

This old fox, who had clearly outclassed Gu Ling Xue by so much, was now relying on her many years of experience to compete with her, a person who had just stepped into the alchemy industry.

Truly shameless.

Gu Ling Xue sat in her original position quietly, but did not make a sound.

"These are two Icy Spirit Ginseng." ultimate elder raised his hand, revealing two ice crystal-like ginseng plants, and said, "These ingredients are one of the hardest to extract from the pill refining. Today, we will compete to extract the essence of this Ice Spirit Ginseng."

"The highest purity wins."

With that, the ultimate elder waved his hand. A disciple beside him pushed a small carriage covered in red cloth and arrived in front of everyone.

ultimate elder walked up, caressing the red cloth, as though he was caressing his own child, following that, ultimate elder's thick hands gently lifted up the red cloth, revealing a round crystal ball inside.

Right above the crystal ball was a water droplet shaped groove. Its entire body was a white jade color, sparkling and translucent. Gu Ling Xue looked at the bead that the ultimate elder was attaching great importance to with his probing eyes.

Looking back and forth, other than the groove, the rest of them were no different from the Night Pearls in the Imperial Palace.

If there was one difference, it would be that the Night Pearl would light up.

"This is a jade bead. Although his name is ordinary, in the eyes of us alchemists, he is a rare treasure." This will help the Pharmacist make a qualitative leap. "

Gu Ling Xue listened to ultimate elder praise the pearl as if it was a flower, and as if it was a treasure. Looks like this ultimate elder's horizons are only so.

"What's the use?" Gu Ling Xue asked with a slightly impatient tone.

"This jade bead is used to inspect the purity after refining the medicine. Although there isn't anything strange about this, compared to the other pearls that test for purity, its accuracy rate can be said to be as high as 99%. And the average test bead can only measure 70% of the purity. "

Gu Ling Xue suddenly thought back to the information she had read in the Spiritual Domain Art a few days ago, it was exactly as ultimate elder said, a normal bead's accuracy rate of 70% was already very rare, but this seemingly normal white bead could actually reach a accuracy rate of 99%.

Gu Ling Xue was suddenly interested in the bead.

He walked forward and placed his hands on the ultimate elder's pearl to feel the power of the pearl, and after observing for a while, Gu Ling Xue discovered that the pearl was actually filled with an abundant amount of spirit energy.

No wonder.

Gu Ling Xue lowered her hand and sat in her original spot. The trace of curiosity that had just emerged in her heart had already disappeared.

With such abundant spiritual energy, it could be said to be a semi-divine tool. If it didn't have any miraculous effects, it would be strange if it didn't.

"Let's begin." Gu Ling Xue did not like people who waste their time.

To be strong, she would have to spend a hundred times more time and effort to make herself stronger. That was why time was so precious to her now, when she was so weak.

Hearing the urging in Gu Ling Xue's tone, ultimate elder did not delay any further, he gestured to invite him in, and then walked over to the two furnace in the center of the stage.

"For the sake of fairness, I will prepare a medicinal furnace. You can choose first." The most important thing for ultimate elder was the word "fairness". At this moment, in this important competition, "fairness" seemed to be even more precious.

Hearing that, Gu Ling Xue walked to the medicine concocting furnace in front of him without hesitation, and started to inspect the ingredients prepared for the competition.

Four stalks of Icy Spirit Ginseng, a medicinal furnace, and a long incense stick.

It's so simple, that's all.

Seeing that Gu Ling Xue had already chosen her medicine concocting furnace, ultimate elder stood in front of another furnace and explained the rules of the competition.

"Within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, no one has two chances. One chance to refine two Ice Spirit Ginseng, and the one with high purity wins." ultimate elder looked at Gu Ling Xue with a smile after explaining, then said as if he remembered something, "Oh right, there is no limit to the fire element."

There was no limit to the fire element?

Gu Ling Xue flipped her palm up, and in that moment, a bright blue flame appeared in her hand.

Gu Ling Xue's right sleeve fluttered in the wind, and the incense that was originally lying on the table stood up steadily. With a light flick of her left hand, the incense immediately ignited in Gu Ling Xue's hand.

Without saying a word, Gu Ling Xue lowered her head and started to focus on refining.

ultimate elder watched on from the side, and seeing how anxious Gu Ling Xue was, he could not help but laugh, and then, he slowly gestured for his disciple to light the incense, and started to prepare the refining.

On the other side, Gu Ling Xue did something extremely abnormal.

The rules clearly stated that there were two chances to compete, thus he had prepared four Ice Spirit Ginseng. However, Gu Ling Xue seemed to have full confidence in himself.

At the start of the match, four Ice Spirit Ginseng were grasped in Gu Ling Xue's hands, and without hesitation, Gu Ling Xue threw it into the bizarre blue colored flame.

Hearing the commotion, ultimate elder looked towards Gu Ling Xue's direction. He shook his head helplessly and went back to his own training.

The young man was still slightly anxious.

As Gu Ling Xue controlled the nine fires, she recalled the scene she saw in the? Spiritual Domain Art?.

It was just a simple purification of a plant, to think that it would be treated as the second test. The ultimate elder finally became muddle-headed from old age.

He watched as the Ice Spirit Orb within the flames slowly turned into a drop of pure white liquid. This drop of liquid contained a hint of transparent light. A refreshing scent spread through the air, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.

Gu Ling Xue slowly brought the milky white liquid into the sink on top of the jade pearl, then she wiped the sweat off her forehead and the incense off her back silently.

The surrounding onlookers watched as the drop of essence entered the jade bead. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound as they waited for the results of the jade bead's test.

When the drop of Ice Spirit Ginseng's essence fell into the jade pearl's sink, the pearl that was originally as ordinary as a Night Pearl instantly turned into the color of Ice Spirit Ginseng's essence. Inside the jade pearl, there seemed to be some kind of undercurrent surging, and the chaotic liquid swirled like a vortex, turning into an empty bead ball with the sink as the center.

Soon after, a transparent liquid flowed into the void of the whirlpool. Soon, the originally transparent liquid turned deep blue, and it turned into a dense dark green color. It looked like black, but there was a clear difference.

Gu Ling Xue did not understand the meaning behind the change in the half day jade pearl, her eyes were filled with confusion. Seeing Gu Ling Xue's confusion, the ultimate elder who had just finished refining explained to Gu Ling Xue and the crowd.

"Although this bead looks no different from the other beads on the surface, the essence of it is vastly different from the ordinary bead. Let's not talk about the changes after meeting with the medicinal essence, just the medicine storage tank has its own meaning. "

"Although the medicine storage tank is shaped like a drop of water, it isn't an ordinary sink. The entire circulation of the jade pearl depends on this medicine storage slot. "

"After the medicinal essence enters the medicine storage slot, the essence will pass through the special holes in the medicine storage slot and enter the jade bead. From then on, it will merge with the liquid inside the jade bead to test its purity."

"After that, the essence makes the special liquid form a special reaction. If the liquid that enters is indeed the essence of medicinal materials, the liquid will quickly rotate and a vortex will form in the center. Immediately after, the indicator liquid that displays the purity of medicinal materials will rise from the bottom."

"If the medicinal essence is detected, the jade bead will automatically remove it and it will not be able to be used for three days." The last sentence caused the crowd to burst into laughter.

So this pearl also had a temper of its own.

The ultimate elder paused for a moment, and when everyone finished laughing, he continued, "There are several levels to the test for purity, but I don't have much to say. Everyone only needs to know that the liquid will generally start from green and gradually become deeper. And the purest essence, this liquid will show up as pure black. "

"Although the Icy Spirit Ginseng essence that young lady refined has not reached the pure black level yet, it is also about to reach the black dark green color. It can be considered as a top grade purity."

ultimate elder's praises made everyone present applaud and cheer for Gu Ling Xue.

Gu Ling Xue sat at the side, as if she did not hear the explanation given by the ultimate elder, and spoke indifferently: "It's your turn."

That's right, Gu Ling Xue's test of purity is complete, now it's time for ultimate elder's Ice Spirit Ginseng to be tested.

Everyone was peeking their heads out to see what was happening.

I wonder if this Alchemy Elder who had established his prestige for many years in the Jubilee House could compare with this little girl who suddenly appeared with the medicinal essence of a high grade alchemist.

Under the gaze of the crowd, ultimate elder threw the essence of the Ice Spirit Ginseng he painstakingly refined into the jade bead that had returned to its original state. Everyone stared at the jade bead, waiting for the unexpected result.

There were only two possibilities in this competition.

Either the sudden appearance of a little girl, or she had defeated ultimate elder, who had ruled the continent's alchemy industry for many years, or ultimate elder once again refreshed the people's understanding of her, raising their understanding towards alchemy by a whole new realm.

However, no matter what the outcome was, it was a completely new experience to the surrounding disciples.

At the very least, the disciples rarely saw such a pure essence in the ingredients. At this moment, someone came to challenge the manor lord. This was a new development for the first time.

The disciples that were qualified to enter the alchemy field, one by one, wanted to run to the front and take a good look at the movements of the jade bead.

Only Gu Ling Xue and the others were indifferent to the results of the ultimate elder.

She believed in the Spiritual Domain Art, and even more so in herself.

Gu Ling Xue calmly sat on the spot, raising his teacup and sipped on it, waiting for the results to be out.

Suddenly, a shocking sound came from the side of the bead.

The originally quiet disciples standing beside the jade pearl could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Pure black.

It was actually pure black.

Instantly, the entire alchemy field could no longer calm down.

Gu Ling Xue was originally seated, but suddenly she heard the three words pure black in her ears. The teacup in her hand trembled, and she walked towards the jade bead in disbelief.

How, how is this possible?
