[Ding! Side quest [Alchemist Rating] in progress]
……
The corners of Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
He looked at Yang Xun and Dan Xuzi in the audience, and they were almost about to fight.
[Host, don't worry, just take it one step at a time]
"Speaking of being light, I'm afraid there won't be a bone left of me once the rating competition is over!"
[It doesn’t matter. As the old saying goes, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.]
"..."
"Sir, shut up now."
There is still one stick of incense left before the rating begins.
Qingjue stood in front of the stage and read out the progress and rules of the first level to everyone.
Lu Yuguan yawned.
He had already seen these things on the bamboo slips given to him by Qi Wei and had already memorized them by heart.
"Fellow Daoist Xia Yuan?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from beside me.
Lu Yuguan turned around and saw a royal lady in red behind him, looking at him with a smile.
Lu Yuguan was puzzled: "Your Excellency is..."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhuohua, a second-grade alchemist from the Jiluan Sect in the Northern Territory." Zhuohua said slowly.
Lu Yuguan's ears twitched.
Jiluan Sect?
I remember... Monk Zhou Zhou seems to be from the Jiluan Sect?
Lu Yuguan bowed and said, "So you are a cultivator from the Jiluan Sect. I have heard of you for a long time."
"Fellow Daoist Xia, you're joking. It's just a small sect in the northern border. It's not even that strong in front of the Xuanyu Sect." Zhuohua sneered.
"No, no," Lu Yuguan waved his hand modestly, "I have worked with monks from the Jiluan Sect before and had a good impression of them. This shows the spirit of your sect."
When Zhuo Hua heard this, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xia has such a sweet mouth!"
Lu Yuguan responded awkwardly, "I wonder what Daoist Zhuohua wants me to do?"
Zhuohua chuckled and said, "Since you're handsome, I just wanted to get to know you."
"You're too kind, fellow Daoist," Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Fellow Daoist Xia, you're being too serious," Zhuo Hua said, showing his white teeth slightly. "No girl will like you if you're like that."
These words...
Why does it seem so familiar?
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes and sighed slightly.
[Host, forget it...]
Seeing his helpless expression, Zhuo Hua finally got to the point, "Is this your first time here, Fellow Daoist Xia?"
"Yes."
Lu Yuguan nodded.
"Do you know the ins and outs of these three levels of rating?"
Zhuohua asked.
"Of course," Lu Yuguan said confidently, "it's nothing more than identifying medicines, controlling fire, and creating pills."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xia, you don't know," Zhuo Hua said cunningly, "the first two levels are simple, but the third level, the creation of the pill, has changed this year."
"Oh?"
Lu Yuguan immediately became alert.
"I heard that there is a new door on the Dan League flying boat, which is the variable of the third level..." Zhuohua said mysteriously.
"Hey--"
"What are those two over there mumbling about!?"
Qingjue was talking happily when he suddenly saw Lu Yuguan and Zhuohua chatting and couldn't help but scold them.
Zhuohua stuck out his tongue and winked at Lu Yuguan.
"Let's talk later."
Lu Yuguan nodded, but he became very interested in the door that Zhuohua mentioned.
Seeing that the two had quieted down, Qingjue nodded with satisfaction and continued to read out the rules.
"The first level is to identify the medicine."
"Competitors are required to identify the names, medicinal properties and uses of 100 medicinal herbs within a single stick of incense."
"If you make a mistake, you will lose one point. You can only enter the next level if you get full marks."
As soon as the words fell, a whisper was heard in the field.
"One hundred medicinal herbs? That's too demanding!"
"Weren't there always fifty varieties in previous years? Why is there double that this year?"
"It's over, it's over. I can't even recognize fifty kinds. What should I do now?"
Lu Yuguan looked normal.
It was not difficult for him to identify medicines. After all, under the guidance of Danxuzi, he had memorized the characteristics of thousands of medicinal herbs.
What's more, the bamboo slips that Qi Wei gave him also recorded in detail the identification methods of various commonly tested medicinal materials.
"quiet!"
"As an alchemist, if you can't even identify the medicinal ingredients, what's the point of refining pills?"
Qing Jue shouted coldly, and the whole place fell silent.
Lu Yuguan nodded silently.
indeed.
However, since even the aphrodisiac pill and the transformation pill can be refined in the same way, we have to ask an expert to take a look at it at home.
Qing Jue paused slightly, raised his hand and shouted: "The medicine debate begins——"
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of light screens rose up in the field, and the shadow of a medicinal herb appeared in each light screen.
The contestants looked carefully and began to identify it.
Lu Yuguan's eyes were as fast as lightning, quickly scanning the medicinal herbs in the light curtain.
"Purple Spirit Grass, with its cold nature, can be used to refine Heart-Clearing Pills."
"The Red Flame Fruit is hot in nature and is often used in fire-attribute elixirs."
"Qingming Flower is mild in nature and has a calming effect."
……
As he identified it, he silently recited it in his mind, and the jade slip in his hand quickly recorded the answer.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the field became more and more tense.
Many contestants had sweat on their foreheads, obviously caught off guard by the sudden difficulty.
Soon, the incense stick burned out.
Qingjue raised his hand and waved, and the light curtain disappeared instantly.
"time up!"
He scanned the entire audience coldly, "Those who fail to complete the task will be eliminated."
There was a sudden wailing in the field, and many contestants left the venue dejectedly.
Lu Yuguan let out a long sigh and handed the jade slip to the deacon beside him.
The deacon took the jade slip, checked it carefully, and nodded, "Full marks, passed."
Lu Yuguan looked around.
Most of the people were eliminated in the first round alone, which shows the cruelty of the Dan League's rating.
Zhuohua was faster than Lu Yuguan and submitted the jade slip first.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuohua is so amazing! I admire him!"
Lu Yuguan said frankly.
Zhuo Hua joked, "Fellow Daoist Xia's mouth...is it made of honey?"
Lu Yuguan smiled slightly.
Come to think of it, Zhuohua is a second-grade alchemist after all, and he participated in it once ten years ago.
Identifying medicine is naturally a piece of cake.
Zhuo Hua secretly extended his finger, "Fellow Daoist Xia, please look at the side——"
Looking in the direction of the finger, Lu Yuguan caught a glimpse of two figures on the left.
A very young girl.
There was also an old Taoist with a haggard face.
"Those two are..."
"Nanzhou Xiaoman Country, third grade, Hui."
"Xiqi's genius alchemist, third rank, Shen He."
Zhuohua's brows were solemn, and he was obviously wary of the two of them.
Lu Yuguan was shocked and said, "It's actually a third-grade one?"
"So this time, isn't it going to be a bid for the fourth-rank title?"
Zhuohua shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily."
"A fourth-grade alchemist must have at least the spiritual power of the Guiyi realm."
"Fellow Daoist Xia is also an alchemist, so you naturally know that breaking through the shackles is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Lu Yuguan took a breath of cold air.
In terms of mental power, he has already reached the state of unity.
However, I have never tried to refine this fourth-grade elixir.
Lu Yuguan continued to ask: "If they are not of the fourth rank, then why are they participating in the competition?"
Zhuo Hua's eyes lit up: "Of course it's for the top ten position, to get the herbs I need!"
Lu Yuguan swallowed.
If it is true as Zhuohua said, then striving for the first place seems to be more difficult than imagined.
