Into the World of Medicine

Chapter 85: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred Bai Ruo naturally noticed Murong Qingyan's behavior, and a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes. Before, she had always thought that Murong Qingyan was only a third-grade alchemist at best. However, looking at Murong Qingyan's appearance now, it was impossible to refine third-grade elixirs.

The higher the level of the elixir, the more medicinal materials it needs. It is impossible for a third-grade elixir to use hundreds of medicinal materials. Even the fifth-grade elixir she refined did not use so many medicinal materials. What grade of elixir did Murong Qingyan want to refine?

Bai Ruo felt a little upset when he thought of this. It's just because I don't know that I feel like this. At this time, she discovered that many things were no longer within the scope of her expectations. This upset her.

On the rostrum, Wan Zushou couldn't help but frown after seeing Bai Ruo's appearance. He still values ​​this apprentice very much. However, he found that this apprentice seemed to have changed a lot now. Bai Ruo had begged him before, saying that she hoped to enter Qinglong Academy. For this reason, he specially asked Yuan Li.

However, after not seeing her for a while, he found that Bai Ruo had changed a lot. He had heard about the previous fighting competitions, and he couldn't believe that the ruthless person those people said was actually his once well-behaved and kind-hearted apprentice.

In the current alchemy competition, he could still see that Bai Ruo was absent-minded. He didn't know what Bai Ruo was thinking at this moment, but he had taught Bai Ruo before that he must concentrate on making alchemy.

Looking at Bai Ruo on the stage, Wan Zushou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Bai Ruo on the stage had no idea how disappointed Wan Zushou was in her at this moment. At this moment, she had withdrawn her gaze. Although she didn't know what kind of elixir Murong Qingyan wanted to refine, she knew that she could no longer afford to lose. The only thing she can do now is to win the championship in this competition. Only in this way can she change everyone's impression of her.

Previously, she originally planned to leave Qinglong Academy after this academy competition. However, it now seems that she will have to stay for a while. Moreover, if she wants to poison Murong Qingyan, then she must restore her previous good popularity so that she can better find opportunities.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruo began to force himself to calm down. Originally, she planned to refine an ordinary fifth-grade elixir, but now after seeing Murong Qingyan's performance, she changed her mind. Among the fifth-grade elixirs, there is one that is the most difficult to refine, and that is the fifth-grade Biluo Dan.

The so-called Biluo Dan can save a person's life when he is about to die. It can save a person's life for at least two days. Don't underestimate two days, two days are enough to save a person's life.

However, although this Biluo Dan is very powerful, it is not an easy task to refine. Biluo Dan is one of the most difficult to refine among the fifth-grade elixirs. It has high demands on the alchemist's mental strength. If you are not careful, it is easy for the elixir to become useless.

Bai Ruo also knew that with his current level, it was very difficult to refine this kind of elixir. But in order to win, she could only choose this elixir.

After deciding what elixir to refine, Bai Ruo had no time to pay attention to Murong Qingyan's affairs. She devoted all her attention to refining the elixir. The Biluo Dan she is currently refining cannot tolerate any mistakes.

On the other side, Murong Qingyan was also concentrating on refining her own elixir. After taking out all the medicinal materials, she also released Xiao Hong.

"Xiaohong."

After hearing Murong Qingyan's instructions, Xiao Hong consciously threw her own flame into the medicine cauldron.

After Xiao Hong put the flame into the medicine cauldron, Murong Qingyan secretly added a trace of the flame of the Earth's Heart Flame into Xiao Hong's animal fire. The bright red flame had a trace of gold in it, making it look even brighter. Too domineering.

However, when Murong Qingyan carefully threw a trace of the Earth's Heart Flame into the flames, all the other flames around her were extinguished.

Divine fire comes out, and all fire subsides. The domineering power of the divine fire can be imagined. Although she only released a trace of the flame of the earth's core, it was enough to extinguish all other flames around her.

Murong Qingyan had not expected such a situation before. However, after discovering it, she immediately secretly suppressed all the domineering pressure of Earth Core Yan.

However, even so, everyone still looked at Murong Qingyan with doubts. Because no one knows what's going on. However, such an abnormal situation was obviously caused by Murong Qingyan. Among the surrounding flames, only Murong Qingyan's flame was not extinguished.

Facing the looks from everyone, Murong Qingyan acted as if she didn't know anything and was still busy with the movements in her hands, as if what just happened had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Murong Qingyan's frank look, everyone began to wonder, did what happened just now really have nothing to do with Murong Qingyan? Or is this just a coincidence?

Soon, everyone lit the fire again. When they saw that the flames had not extinguished again, everyone withdrew their eyes and began to continue refining the elixir.

After all, no one has any evidence to prove that the extinguishing of the flame just now has something to do with Murong Qingyan. Moreover, they are still competing now. The first thing they have to do is to refine the elixir instead of staring at others here.

However, the people who noticed such an abnormal situation, besides those whose own flames were extinguished, were also the people on the rostrum. After they noticed this situation, they all looked at Murong Qingyan thoughtfully, then turned their heads and looked at Yuan Li.

Yuan Li is Murong Qingyan's master. If Murong Qingyan really has some trump card, Yuan Li should know about it.

Yuan Li was not a fool, so he naturally noticed the looks that others were paying to him. However, his expression did not change, and he was still looking at the people on the stage intently, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Yuan Li's look, everyone knew that even if they asked, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of it. So everyone had to retract their curious eyes and continue to watch the competition. However, everyone obviously paid more attention to Murong Qingyan.

Murong Qingyan didn't care about other people's eyes at this time, because she had already started to purify the medicinal materials.

The purification of more than one hundred medicinal materials is not an easy task, especially now that it is still a competition and there is a time limit. This last competition only lasts for four hours. If there are too many medicinal materials and they are purified, more than half of the time will pass.

However, this was not a problem at all for Murong Qingyan. She had already taken out all the more than one hundred medicinal materials, and then put the first medicinal material directly into the medicine cauldron and began to purify it. Soon, the first medicinal material was purified. Then, she immediately threw in the second medicinal ingredient.

At the beginning, Murong Qingyan joined in the same way, with a certain time interval. But as she got to the back, her speed became faster and faster, almost as if she was being produced on an assembly line. All kinds of medicinal materials were directly put into the medicine cauldron.

This speed also surprised those who had been watching the competition. The people below started talking about it.

"Tell me, why is Murong Qingyan so fast? The speed at which medicinal materials are purified is really unexpected!"

"Although I am not an alchemist, I know that purifying medicinal materials is not an easy task! Can those medicinal materials really be purified at such a speed?"

"What kind of elixir does Murong Qingyan want to refine? You see she has used so many medicinal materials."

Murong Qingyan didn't hear a word of the discussion of those below. At this time, she was concentrating on purifying the medicinal materials. Although to outsiders, everything she does seems very simple. But only she knew that she had to concentrate all her attention now, and there was no room for any mistakes.

On the rostrum, Wan Zushou looked at Murong Qingyan's performance, then turned his head and looked at Yuan Li, "Yuan Li, this Murong Qingyan is the disciple you accepted!"

"That's right." After hearing Wan Zushou's words, Yuan Li nodded, with pride in his tone, "This girl has been learning alchemy with me for more than a year. Her talent is indeed very high."

Wan Zushou naturally heard the proud tone in Yuan Li's words, but he nodded in agreement, "It can be seen that that girl is indeed very talented. Yuan Li, you are really lucky!" "

All along, Yuanli had no plans to recruit disciples. He originally thought that Yuanli would have no successor. But now it seems that Yuan Li's luck is better than his!

"What level of alchemy is this girl now?" Wan Zushou asked curiously, "I can't tell what level of elixir she wants to refine."

After hearing Wan Zushou's question, Yuan Li shook his head, "I can't tell what kind of elixir this girl wants to refine. As for what level of alchemist she is now, I'm not very sure. It’s clear. This girl has been practicing outside for a while and has just come back. However, what I can tell you is that before she left, this girl was already a fourth-grade alchemist."

Yuan Li didn't hide anything, because these things couldn't be concealed. Especially now that Murong Qingyan is refining alchemy there. I believe she will soon know what level of alchemist she is.

After hearing Yuan Li's words, not only Wan Zushou, but also everyone else gasped. A fourth-grade alchemist? According to Yuan Li, Murong Qingyan only studied alchemy with him for more than a year. In such a short time, he became a fourth-level alchemist. What kind of talent is this!

You know, if Murong Qingyan could become a second-grade alchemist in one year, it would have shocked everyone. Now Yuan Li told them that some time ago, Murong Qingyan had become a fourth-level alchemist. In just one year, Murong Qingyan was able to reach such a height, which is simply incredible. For ordinary people, if they want to advance from a first-level alchemist to a fourth-level alchemist, it would be impossible without five or six years. Especially the further you get to the back, the harder it is to advance.

For a moment, everyone looked at Yuan Li with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred. How could such a highly talented person become Yuan Li's disciple? Why don't they have such talented students?

Especially this Murong Qingyan, not only has extremely high talent in alchemy, but also in cultivation. They have not forgotten that in the previous competition, Murong Qingyan achieved second place, and at such a young age, Murong Qingyan was already at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Among them, the deans of the other three major colleges had even more complicated moods. Because when they took the entrance exam, they already knew that Murong Qingyan was very talented. At that time, they also wanted to fight for Murong Qingyan to be their disciple. It's a pity that in the end, Murong Qingyan chose Yuan Li.

Now seeing the strength displayed by Murong Qingyan, how could they feel calm? If they had accepted Murong Qingyan as their disciple, they would be the ones who are so proud now.

"You are so lucky." Wan Zushou couldn't help but sigh.

"That apprentice of yours is not bad either!" Yuan Li looked at Bai Ruo, who was skillfully purifying medicinal materials, and said, "She is already a fifth-level alchemist at a young age. I'm afraid her future will be better than You go further!”

"Bai Ruo is indeed very talented in alchemy, but it's a pity-" Wan Zushou shook his head, "I haven't seen her for a while, and I always feel that she seems to have changed a lot. I don't know what happened."

"Nothing happened to her in the academy." Yuan Li thought for a while and said, "Besides, she seems to be quite popular."

As for Bai Ruo, he is his best friend's apprentice after all, so Yuan Li would still pay some attention to him normally. But he didn't notice anything strange. However, in this competition, after seeing Bai Ruo's methods, he felt that he seemed to have underestimated this person.

Of course, it was impossible for him to say these words in front of his friends. However, he didn't have any good impressions of this girl Bai Ruo.

Wan Zushou shook his head and said nothing more. However, he also secretly made a decision in his heart.

On the other side, Murong Qingyan finally purified all the medicinal materials when half the time passed. Although she was very fast, she had too many medicinal materials to purify, so it took a lot of time. When she purified the medicinal materials, many people had already started making elixirs early.

Murong Qingyan was not anxious about this, because she knew very well that the more anxious she was, the easier it would be to make mistakes. After purifying all the medicinal materials, she began to control her mental power and began to fuse the essences.

It is not an easy task to integrate the essence of more than one hundred medicinal materials. Murong Qingyan's attention was highly concentrated, and soon, a little sweat appeared on her forehead. But she didn't have time to wipe it. At this time, her eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron, not daring to move away.

This step is the most difficult step. In the medicine cauldron, the essences of more than a hundred medicinal materials are constantly rolling, wrapped in spiritual power, constantly fused together, then rejected, separated, and then fused again. As time went by, gradually, the essences of each medicinal material finally began to slowly merge together.

When the essence of those medicinal materials began to blend, Murong Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not dare to relax at all.

Finally, as time passed, the essence of all the medicinal materials finally merged together. Now there is only the last step left, which is to become a pill.

At this time, more than half of the time has passed, and many people have already become elixirs. Everyone put the elixirs they had refined into jade bottles, and then stayed where they were, waiting for time to pass.

At the end, in the center of the square, only Murong Qingyan and Bai Ruo were still refining the elixir, while everyone else had already put the elixir into bottles. Everyone looked at Murong Qingyan and Bai Ruo, curious about the elixir they had refined.

There was a sound of "Boom--" and everyone looked over. It turned out to be Bai Ruo, and she had successfully refined it.

Bai Ruo opened his medicine cauldron and found two round pills lying quietly inside. A proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She finally succeeded in refining Biluo Dan.

Although she is a fifth-grade alchemist, her time to reach the level of a fifth-grade alchemist is still very short. Although she has been able to successfully refine fifth-grade elixirs, she has never tried to refine elixirs like Biluo Dan. At the beginning, although she had decided to refine Biluo Dan, she was still unsure, and she was not sure whether she would succeed.

If she failed, there would be absolutely no second chance for her. What she didn't expect was that she succeeded in the first attempt. Now that she has finally refined Biluo Dan, she is almost certain that she will definitely be the winner in this competition.

Bai Ruo, who was in a good mood, subconsciously looked in the direction of Murong Qingyan after putting away his elixir.

She couldn't help but frown when she saw that Murong Qingyan had not yet achieved the elixir. Because she really couldn't see through what kind of elixir Murong Qingyan was refining. Moreover, the time is coming soon and Murong Qingyan has not yet completed the elixir. Could it be that the elixir she wants to refine is of a high level?

When he thought of this, Bai Ruo immediately denied this possibility. She was sure that her Biluo Pill must be the highest grade pill here. No matter what kind of elixir Murong Qingyan refines, he will never be able to defeat her.

Moreover, Murong Qingyan has not yet completed the elixir, and it is not known whether it can be refined within the stipulated time. It would be better if Murong Qingyan couldn't finish it.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruo secretly prayed in his heart that it would be best if Murong Qingyan hadn't finished refining it when the time was up. If that were the case, then Murong Qingyan would definitely lose no matter what kind of elixir he was refining. Moreover, from now on, Murong Qingyan might not have the shame to come out to meet people.

It's a pity that God didn't seem to hear Bai Ruo's prayer. At the last moment, a "boom" sound finally came from Murong Qingyan's side. Everyone knows what's going on, which means Murong Qingyan has become an elixir.

However, no one can see what kind of elixir Murong Qingyan is refining. Because Murong Qingyan did not take out the elixir, but put it directly into the bottle.

"Time's up!" Yu Aotian announced, "Now everyone should stop what they are doing, and then listen to my roll call and bring up their own elixirs. The judges we selected will judge the grade of the elixirs. .”

Everyone was holding the bottles in their hands, waiting for Yu Aotian's roll call.

"The first one is Zhu Wentian from Suzaku Academy."

Following Yu Aotian's roll call, a man handed his elixir into the hands of several judges.

After a review by the judges, one of the representatives stood up and said, "This is a third-grade foundation-building pill. It is a top-grade pill. There are five pills in total."

Zhu Wentian had no objection to this judgment. After getting back his elixir, he returned to his seat and sat down again. His expression was very calm, and it was obvious that he didn't care much about winning or losing.

Perhaps it should be said that he also knew that he could not win. However, he was not discouraged by this. He felt that it was enough to enter the final competition.

As each person stepped forward to hand over his elixir, the judges also made their judgments one by one. However, these are only third- and fourth-grade elixirs, and there has not yet been a fifth-grade elixir.

No one was surprised by this. Because there is an age limit for this kind of competition, in this age group, it is already very good to become a fourth-grade alchemist.

"The eighth one is Bai Ruo from Qinglong Academy."

After hearing his name, Bai Ruo came to the judges with a smile and handed over the elixir he had refined. Then he quietly waited for the judges' judgment.
