Competition (1)
On the day of the competition, the square of the City Lord Mansion was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. Countless residents of Qingyan City gathered here, eagerly looking forward to this unknown contest.
At the invitation of the city lord Lu Jing, Xiao Ruoyao and Qin Tianshu sat in the upper seats as representatives of both parties. On both sides of the two, there were also five master alchemists that Qin Tianshu worked so hard to hire.
Although these master alchemists are not as famous as Qin Tianshu, they are still relatively well-known and famous.
They accepted Qin Tianshu’s invitation, on the one hand, to find out Jia Chan’s level in pill refining, and on the other hand, to find out who Chu Qing, whom Qin Tianshu has always admired, really is.
When the stipulated time for the competition arrived, Lu Jing stepped onto the ring and said to everyone standing below the stage with a pleasant face, “This competition is between Jia Chan, the hall master of the Qingxing Hall in Yunjian Pavilion, and the rising star Chu Qing. This competition will be notarized by me, the city lord of Qingyan City. The process of the competition must be fair and just, and no cheating will be allowed. If there is cheating, then no matter who the person is, he will not be allowed to continue to engage in the work of pill refining in the future.”
As he said that, Lu Jing turned his head to look at the alchemists sitting at the top behind him, and the alchemists also nodded slowly to him.
This means that the result of this competition will be jointly supervised by them. If someone really cheats, then they will also use their influence together to block this person.
Lu Jing continued, “Then next, let us invite the two pill refining masters who will participate in the competition. I will invite Jia Chan, the hall master of Qingxing Hall, and Chu Qing, a rising star in pill refining!”
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a man and a woman step onto the ring from the left and right sides respectively.The woman on the stage had bright eyes and bright teeth, picturesque eyebrows, wearing a blue short jacket, with a faint smile on her face. After she stepped onto the ring, she just nodded to everyone and walked to her own pill-refining furnace.
The man on the stage is a stark contrast to the woman.
The man was wearing a blindfold on his face, covering his right eye firmly. His expression was indifferent, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were rather sloppy.
He didn’t look like a pill-refining master, but rather a bandit who came out of the corner of a desolate mountain.
He also nodded to everyone, but the sinister look inadvertently revealed in his left eye made the people who saw it couldn’t help but shudder.
The people below couldn’t help but discuss one after another.
“Is this person really a pill refiner? Why doesn’t he look like one at all?”
“Who knows! But I heard that he is very appreciated by Master Qin, so he should have two brushes?”
“To be honest, I would prefer the woman on the right to win. Her name seems to be Jia Chan, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. I don’t know how good Master Jia’s pill-refining skills are, but she really does help the world with a pot, and she has a heart of Bodhisattva. My old neighbor Wang Laosan broke his leg a few days ago, and she cured it. “
“Sigh, such a kind-hearted doctor is rare these days!”
“Right! If it’s Master Qin, even if you die in front of him, he won’t take a second look at you!”
…
Listening to the discussions below, both Chu Qing and Qin Tianshu’s expressions were not very good.
Qin Tianshu coughed, and said lightly, “City lord Lu, there is no need to delay, let the competition begin!”
Lu Jing nodded to Qin Tianshu with a little respect, and then said loudly, “I hereby announce, the competition begins!”
The rules of the competition are very simple, that is, five master alchemists invited by Qin Tianshu will serve as judges to make questions, and then the five judges will compare the pills refined by the two respectively, and the one who receives the support of three or more judges will win. Someone might ask, these five judges were all invited by Qin Tianshu, don’t Jia Chan and Xiao Ruoyao worry that the five judges are inclined toward Chu Qing?
Xiao Ruoyao is really not worried about this problem. She declared that if anyone dared to tell lies with their eyes open, Xiao Ruoyao would let them experience her own Xiaoyao Thirty-Six Sword Arts.
After Lu Jing walked off the ring, the leader of the five judges stood up and said loudly, “The first question is to refine Energy Restoration Pills. Both parties are required to refine a furnace within half an hour. The number of completed pills must not be less than ten. Those who refine the number of less than ten will be considered as losers, and those who refine beyond the time limit will also be considered as losers. The competition begins!”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Qing and Jia Chan immediately began to pick herbs from the medicine cabinet behind them.
The respective medicine cabinets behind them are not unified.
Chu Qing’s medicine cabinet was prepared by Qin Tianshu, and it was filled with the finest herbs carefully selected by Qin Tianshu.
However, Jia Chan’s medicine cabinet was directly moved out of Qingxing Hall, and the medicinal materials in it were relatively ordinary in quality.
It can be seen from this that Qin Tianshu is really willing to invest in Chu Qing.
Energy Restoration Pills belong to the entry-level in pill refining. After many alchemists step into the path of alchemy, the first pill they learn to refine must be Energy Restoration Pills.
The effect of Energy Restoration Pills is also very simple, which is to allow users to quickly restore their true energy.
But also because of the single effect, there are many kinds of pill recipes for the Energy Restoration Pill.
There are as many as thirty-seven kinds of pill recipes handed down from generation to generation, and forty-six kinds of pill recipes derived from them.
As for those pill recipes that were developed by the master alchemists themselves but have not been circulated, it is even more unknown how many there are.
