The strongest head exchange system

Chapter 261 Alchemy Showdown
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Wuxiu changed the assessment location of the intermediate alchemist to the alchemy room inside the guild in advance, and prohibited all other irrelevant personnel from entering.

An intermediate alchemist is not enough to make people hate, but there is no guarantee that the crowd of onlookers will not be proficient in alchemy and has a vicious vision. In case Ziyun is seen to have the potential to attack high-level alchemists, Gu Wuxiu will simply clear the field in advance.

In fact, Gu Wuxiu was more or less selfish, and Ziyun's talent in alchemy was limitless at such a young age, so it might be possible to accept her as a disciple by getting closer.

A group of people came to the alchemy room. This alchemy room is not only used for alchemy, but also a place for members of the guild to exchange experience. The space is quite spacious and bright. Alchemy books and tools.

A circular ceiling lamp with a unique shape hangs above, and this lamp is actually maintained by a formation, illuminating the entire space with a soft and bright halo.

Ziyun and Ye Feiji each selected a medicine cauldron. According to the rules of the alchemist guild, the medicine cauldron they brought could only be used after the alchemy master certification examination. Before that, they could only use the medicine prepared by the guild. tripod.

The medicine cauldron used in the assessment is relatively large, and has no additional effect on the alchemy effect, and relies more on the examiner's own strength level.

Zhong Yun, vice president of the alchemist guild, stood between the two and announced the rules for this round of assessment:

"There is a pill formula in front of you. This pill is called 'Xuanyin Pill' and it is a level 3 pill. Within six hours, you can refine up to three batches of pills. If you fail all three times or exceed the time limit, you will fail the assessment. Now, you There was half an hour to figure out the formula, and then the assessment officially began."

The junior alchemist assessment gave three alternative pills, and they were all common pills. As long as the alchemy skills are solid, it is not difficult.

However, there is only one kind of elixir to choose for the intermediate alchemist assessment. The most important thing is that this elixir is usually unpopular and not widely used. Alchemists rarely refine this kind of elixir.

In this way, the examiner is required to master the knowledge of alchemy, and infer the correct steps and techniques of alchemy based on the medicinal properties of the spiritual herbs and elixirs provided by the elixir formula, and the difficulty of the assessment has increased significantly.

A qualified alchemist not only proficiently refines common elixirs, but also learns and uses alchemy theory to infer other cases from one instance. An excellent alchemist can even modify the elixirs.

Many ancient prescriptions have been handed down to this day, and the required spiritual herbs may have long been extinct, and a substitute must be found based on pharmacology.In some extreme cases, if you can't get all the spirit herbs on the alchemy for a while, you have to adjust the alchemy.

It's like building foundation pills, except for a few key main medicines that should not be used rashly, there are substitutes for the rest of the auxiliary medicines, and the difference in the properties of the refined medicines is very small.

After reading the 'Xuanyin Pill' formula, Ziyun needed seven kinds of level 3 spirit herbs and five kinds of level 2 spirit herbs to refine, but only eleven of them were found in the spirit herbs provided by the assessment, missing one level 3 spirit grass Ling grass.

On the desk, in addition to the eleven kinds of spirit herbs required by the 'Xuanyin Pill', there are six other spirit herbs mixed in it.

"The lack of spirit grass, I guess we have to choose a substitute from these six spirit herbs." Ziyun frowned slightly, carefully inspecting the six spirit herbs, comparing the medicinal properties with the missing spirit grass. Spend.

"Xuanyin Pill, this medicine is used to resist the high temperature of the outside world or detoxify it, and it can also assist monks of the water system in their cultivation. Most of the spirit herbs used for refining are colder." Ziyun secretly said, five of the six kinds in his hand Spirit grass grows in cold places, so I can't make up my mind for a while.

Gu Wuxiu sent a voice transmission to Zhong Yun and said, "Give them a little more difficulty."

Zhong Yun nodded knowingly, stood up again and added: "For the sake of fairness in the assessment, the two of you cannot use the same substitute, otherwise the latter will fail the assessment."

The assessment wasn't originally a competition, but as soon as Zhong Yun said this, the scene was immediately filled with gunpowder.

Ye Feiji's color changed slightly, he was not completely sure whether the choice was correct, but he didn't dare to wait any longer.

"Six types of spiritual herbs, it is obviously impossible for one of the Xinghuo vines to be born in a sunny place, and the remaining five spiritual herbs are very similar in medicinal properties. In my opinion, the orchid water stem is the most likely." Ye Feiji cleared his mind and took out the orchid water stem. Put it together with the other eleven kinds of spiritual herbs.

Ye Feiji chose the stem of the orchid water flower, and Ye Chen burst into bloom with a smile, and said, "Haha, Feiji did a good job! If this is the case, let me see what this stinky girl will do?"

The orchid stem was selected by Ye Feiji, which meant that Ziyun could not choose this spiritual herb. Ye Chen looked at Yan Xu with a complacent expression, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Huang Yaogu is simply too thieves, it's better to act first, Ziyun may not be easy to deal with now." Deng Yu said worriedly.

Yan Xu looked calm, and said: "Since the guild dares to ask such a question, it is impossible to have only one answer. What's more, the other party may not be correct, and it is very possible to make mistakes while busy."

"That's true, if you strike first, you may not be able to take advantage of it, let's see how Ziyun responds." Deng Yu said slightly relieved, still sweating for Ziyun.

"Orchid water stems? I've considered this, but it doesn't seem appropriate." Ziyun looked at Ye Feiji, didn't want to lower his head to continue thinking, hesitated for a moment, and picked up the star fire vine to signal to Zhong Yun that the choice was over. .

Regarding Ziyun's choice, Ye Feiji was surprised at first, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Idiot, even if I don't know alchemy, I know that it is impossible to choose the positive spirit grass Xinghuovine. It seems that I have been forced to break the can and smash it. A girl's film is always a girl's film. I can't bear this pressure!" Ye Chen can't wait to clap his hands and celebrate .

From Ye Chen's point of view, Ye Feiji's promotion to the intermediate alchemist is a certainty, but the competitor's failure is imminent, and he feels refreshed. He repeatedly praises Ye Feiji to Wu Guang and others, and looks contemptuously at Yan Xu from time to time.

Gu Wuxiu and the others looked calm and couldn't see any information. Zhong Yun waved his hand and said, "Since you have selected the spirit grass, start refining it now. Try three times at most within six hours, so you can grasp it yourself."

Ziyun closed his eyes slightly to calm his mind, opened his eyes after half a stick of incense, and methodically urged the pill fire to throw the spirit grass into the medicine cauldron.

"It's not difficult to refine this elixir, but it's time-consuming to refine a level 3 elixir. It's impossible to rush with my seven-level Qi refining cultivation base, otherwise the magic power will be exhausted halfway and all previous efforts will be wasted." Ziyun tempered the spirit leisurely. Grass, although the speed is much slower than Ye Feiji, it consumes a lot less mana.

It has to be said that Ye Feiji was valued by Ye Chen to certify as an intermediate alchemist. His alchemy skills were really good, and the alchemy fire was very obedient under his control. He finished quenching the medicinal liquid in a blink of an eye, and then started the alchemy stage.

"No!" Ye Feiji frowned, and when he was about to take the pill, he stopped unexpectedly. He lifted the lid of the cauldron and saw that the pill, which was the size of seven thumbs, was mottled in color, and there was no fragrance of the pill.

Ye Feiji took out a waste pill, crushed it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He frowned even more, and said to himself, "The medicines have conflicting properties, which makes the pills unable to stick together. What's the problem?"

After thinking for a while with a sad face, Ye Feiji showed an expression of enlightenment, and hurriedly cleaned up the waste pills in the medicine cauldron, and refined the second furnace in a hurry.

"After all, it's a level 3 elixir. It's good to have a [-]% to [-]% success rate. Abolishing a batch of elixir is not a big deal." Ye Chen explained to Wu Guang with a relaxed expression.

Ziyun didn't bother to ask Ye Feiji about the success or failure of alchemy, and concentrated on controlling the pill fire from the beginning to the end, slowly boiling the medicinal liquid with a slow fire, it seems that there is still some time before the alchemy is completed.

Ye Feiji slightly adjusted the order in which the spirit herbs were put in, and kept pinching out the spells with both hands to hit the medicine cauldron, for fear of falling behind Ziyun. Ye Chen had specially told him beforehand that he must not lose to the yellow-haired girl on the opposite side in terms of momentum, so that he could show Huangyao Valley elegant demeanor.

Not to mention Ye Chen's special instructions, Ye Feiji and his arrogance would not allow a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to overwhelm him, and said cruelly: "I have been practicing alchemy for 30 years since I was eight years old, and I must not lose to she!"

Before Ye Feiji could calm down, there was a muffled bang inside the medicine cauldron, and a few puffs of gray smoke came out from the lid of the cauldron. Ye Feiji was shocked and put away the pill fire, opened the medicine cauldron and saw that the pills inside exploded. Burnt black and completely ruined.

Ye Feiji panicked, did I choose the wrong orchid stem! ?Impossible, this spiritual herb is absolutely fine, I must have acted too hastily, something went wrong in the middle!
Glancing at Ziyun who was still boiling the liquid medicine, Ye Feiji tried to calm down, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then took the last ingredient to prepare for refining.

Ye Chen's face was also not good-looking. Two consecutive failures made him lose face in front of Wu Guang and others, but he couldn't blame Ye Feiji so as not to distract him.

Ziyun looked at the color of the medicinal liquid in the medicine cauldron, and with a happy face, he threw the last few stalks of spiritual grass into it, closed the lid of the cauldron and increased the refining fire.At this time, three hours had passed, and Ziyun had no chance to start all over again, so he had to succeed in one fell swoop.

"The success rate of level 3 elixirs is very low. Do you really want to succeed once? This woman is really hopeless!" The more Ziyun calmed down, the more displeased Ye Chen was, and the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

Time passed bit by bit, and there was only half an hour left in the six hours. Both Ziyun and Ye Feiji were at the last moment, and no matter it was Gu Wuxiu, Ye Chen or Yan Xu, they also became nervous.

The medicine cauldron was suspended on the pill fire and undulated slightly, Ziyun used a trick to retract the pill fire, and the pill cauldron slowly fell to the ground.

Ziyun was not in a hurry to uncover the medicine cauldron, but carefully poured mana into the cauldron. The temperature dropped to normal and continued to drop. Finally, the medicine cauldron released bursts of cold air before uncovering the medicine cauldron.

Inside the medicine cauldron, nine crystal-clear Xuanyin pills lay quietly at the bottom, exuding a light blue icy halo. Ziyun smiled happily, and looked at the master Yan Xu and smiled at herself.

The moment Ziyun uncovered the medicine cauldron, Ye Chen gritted his teeth with hatred, and only prayed for Ye Feiji to succeed in alchemy, otherwise he would be ashamed today.

Ye Feiji stood in front of the medicine cauldron with a serious face, lifted the thick lid and smelled a scent of dan, his brows slightly relaxed, and then completely lifted the medicine cauldron cover, only to see a pool of green liquid medicine, All the spirit herbs were turned into water and there was no pill at all.

"Ah!" Ye Chen screamed, and sat back down on his seat in despair.
