Chapter 157 Alchemist Competition 1
Time passed by minute by minute, and one after another, people's furnaces exploded or the pills were made. Bai Yulou, Bai Ming'an, and the Situ family were all looking nervously at the furnace in front of Bai Sinan.
On the other hand, the other three looked calm. Jiang Huaian looked at Li Xingchen and said, "Why aren't you nervous at all?"
Li Xingchen glanced at him: "You're not nervous either."
Jiang Huai was happy: "Oh, you are worthy of being the emperor. When you put on a serious face, you really look like the emperor."
Li Xingchen curled his lips and ignored his topic: "Sister Bai has been very relaxed since she came on stage. In my opinion, Sister Bai may have achieved the elixir a long time ago. She just doesn't want to attract attention."
I have to tell the truth about Li Xingchen.
Bai Sinan completed the elixir in less than an incense stick of time.
However, the sound of the furnace exploding on the stage directly drowned out the subtle sound of her pill being made. Moreover, after the pill was made, she did not retract the flame. She simply controlled the flame to have no temperature, and it became a mere decoration, which is why people did not notice it.
Finally, when the incense was about to burn out, she retracted the flame and made the alchemy furnace make a ding sound at the right time.
The relatives and friends in the audience all breathed a sigh of relief.
The referee checked the pills of all those who had completed the competition, and after confirming that there were no problems with the pills, he began the second round.
This round of competition is limited to two hours, and there is no limit on the type of elixir.
After the competition started, Bai Sinan did not rush to get the herbs. Instead, he confirmed the pills that everyone was going to refine before slowly selecting the materials needed for the Recovery Pill.
When she was twelve years old, she had refined a large batch of this medicine pill for Ao Jiao. At that time, she didn't even use the strange fire. To use the words of that time, the pill could be made by just stirring it with spiritual power.
This time she did not wait until the time was almost up before pretending to make the pill like last time. Instead, she chose to make the pill after three or four people had made the pill one after another. Moreover, the impurities mixed in this time were much less than in the previous game.
In the end, Bai Sinan successfully qualified to compete at the Alchemist Guild Headquarters with a good result of eighth place.
The host announced that three days later, the ten people who advanced would set off for the headquarters together with the Alchemist Guild.
So for the remaining three days, she stayed at home to accompany Bai Yulou and Bai Mingan.
Before leaving, she left a lot of things for them, and then said goodbye to the two of them reluctantly.
Because everyone can bring no more than three friends and relatives with them, Jiang Huaian and Feng Wu followed Bai Sinan to ride on the Alchemist Guild's carriage. Even Xiao Ying came back from the Regent's Palace and set off with them.
When they returned to the academy capital, the Alchemist Guild did not provide inn accommodation, so the alchemists from Shengzhan Country discussed and booked an inn together.
Bai Sinan didn't act like a loner, so he stayed in the inn with everyone else and didn't go back to the dark building.
Soon the day of the final competition arrived.
Bai Sinan felt that her cerebellum had shrunk. Why did she think that Shenghuang Academy would not send anyone to participate in the Alchemist Guild's competition? And why did she think that Third Elder Xu Ming, as a guest elder, would not join in the fun?
Jiang Cheng looked at Bai Sinan and suddenly realized: "No wonder Huai An said you don't lack elixirs, it turns out that my junior sister is also an alchemist."
Luo Qiancheng now has every reason to suspect that the elixir that Bai Sinan gave him in the underground palace was made by herself, so doesn't that mean she...
He looked incredulous and didn't know how to start.
Xu Ming also looked at her in shock: "You are the little girl that Wen Ziran took in, right? Seeing is believing. I have heard that you are not only highly accomplished in formations and powerful, but also extremely talented in physical training. Why, you are not here to gnaw on my Dan Pavilion, are you?"
Bai Si Nan was so embarrassed when she heard this that she wanted to find a hole to hide in... How could she be asked to gnaw on the bones of Dan Pavilion? To be more precise, she came to gnaw on the Alchemist Guild...
At this time, a charming female voice came from behind: "Disciple Qiao Yanxin greets the Third Elder and two senior brothers. This time, this disciple is also here to participate in this competition."
As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to the person in front of her with his back to her. She always felt that this person was very familiar. When Bai Sinan turned around and looked at her with raised eyebrows, Qiao Yanxin instantly became uneasy.
"How will you be here?"
"Then why are you here?" Bai Sinan directly returned her words.
Qiao Yanxin had long heard that she had proven her strength, becoming the little senior sister in everyone's eyes, and gaining praise from the rough guys in the Body Pavilion who only knew how to practice.
But she just couldn't accept Bai Sinan. They were of similar age and had both entered Shenghuang Academy, so why should she, Bai Sinan, be superior to him?
In Qiao Yanxin's heart, Bai Sinan has long been regarded as her number one rival.
Qiao Yanxin said sarcastically: "Of course I qualified for the finals through the Fengyan Country competition. But you, are you here to watch the fun?"
Bai Sinan curled his lips and said indifferently: "What exactly am I here for? You will know when the competition starts."
Qiao Xinyan wanted to continue speaking when she noticed that Xu Ming, Jiang Cheng and Luo Qiancheng were looking at her with unfriendly eyes.
She did not forget that her goal was to enter the Dan Pavilion, so she could only snort coldly and stopped talking.
Soon, the competition began, and the vice president of the Alchemist Guild announced in person: "This Alchemist Competition will be held for three days. During the competition, I will serve as the referee and announce the rules of the competition. Before that, I will introduce the judges for this competition."
He turned sideways, revealing the judges behind him, and introduced them from left to right: "The first one is the president of the Alchemist Guild, Hong Xianwei. The second one is the chief elder of the Alchemist Guild, Tuo Wenqing. The last one is the guest elder of the Alchemist Guild, the third elder of Shenghuang Academy, Xu Ming."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
With these three as judges, the result of this competition will definitely be fair and just!
After everyone's excitement calmed down, the vice president continued: "Now, I will announce the rules of the first day of the competition."
"Refine three-star low-level elixirs, of any type. The judges will rank the elixirs based on their difficulty, medicinal properties, purity, and refining time. The bottom thirty will be eliminated. The competition is limited to two hours. Now I declare the competition to begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed forward to pick out the herbs they would use to make their own pills. Half of the people would be eliminated in the first match, which made people feel a strong sense of crisis.
Bai Sinan still watched everyone scramble for the herbs calmly. Like her, Jiang Cheng, Luo Qiancheng and Qiao Yanxin were not in a hurry to choose the herbs.
She knew that Jiang Cheng and Luo Qiancheng were confident so she was not in a hurry, but as for Qiao Yanxin... she was a little curious.
