199: C199 Bad Medicine

C199 Bad Medicine

Time passes slowly.

Unknowingly, it was already noon.

Along with the passage of time, thousands of Inner Sect disciples had gathered in the huge venue. They were all here to watch the competition.

Apart from them, many alchemist and elders of the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect had also appeared, preparing for abbot to hold the competition.

At the same time, many of the higher ups of the Thunder Cloud Sect were also here to watch the competition.

"Here, I would like to thank all of you for coming here to watch the competition.

Next, I will announce the related matters of this competition. "

On the tall platform, an old man wearing a long white robe and a Pill Refinement Furnaces badge was placed on his left chest. He slowly came to the front of the platform and looked at the disciples of the Inner Sect in the audience seats.

"This competition will be divided into two groups, and there will be a total of three stages.

The first stage is to refine a low profound rank Spiritual Pill, a Heart Cleansing Pill.

The second stage is to refine a profound rank Middle Grade Spiritual Pill, a Strength Yang Pill.

In the third stage, he would refine a profound rank high-grade Spirit Pill, an Explosive Pill.

In every stage, after the refinement is completed, there will be elders from the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect who will evaluate it, and ensure that it is fair and just."

The old man once again announced the matters related to the alchemy competition.

In the audience seats, many disciples from the Inner Sect couldn't help but suck in a cold breath when they heard the old man mention the matters related to the alchemy competition.

Profound Rank Spiritual Pills were not easy to refine.

Even some of the alchemist in the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect did not dare guarantee a 100% success rate when refining profound rank Spirit Pills.

Furthermore, the participants of this competition were only the disciples of the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect .

Even though these disciples had followed the elders of the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect to learn how to concoct pills day and night, and had accumulated enough experience, it was not easy for them to successfully concoct profound rank Spirit Pills.

In the resting area, many of the participating disciples had ugly expressions on their faces when they heard that the first stage of the competition was going to be a low profound rank Spiritual Pill.

"Senior Brother Wu, the difficulty of this competition has increased a lot compared to the past."

This dark-skinned youth also had a frown on his face, and his expression was solemn.

"It is indeed like this. I also did not expect that the first stage would be to refine a low profound rank Spiritual Pill.

Fortunately, I have experience in concocting low profound rank and Middle Grade Spiritual Pills, but... "

Wu Lia said slowly.

"Just what?"

"However, Explosive Pill is extremely difficult to refine. Even though there are quite a number of alchemist in my Pill Pavilion, the success rate of refining an Explosive Pill is extremely low."

Wu Lia replied.

"The difficulty of this alchemy competition has surprised you. Ye Lan will definitely not succeed!"

"I don't really care about Ye Lan. In my eyes, there are only two people who can be my opponents in this competition!"

Wu Lia replied.

"Which two?"

"One is Han Dong, and the other is Zhao Yu."

Wu Lia said.

Han Dong was the nominal disciple of the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect 's Great Elder, Old Yan. He had followed Yan Soong for many years and had learned the skill of alchemy. Among all the other disciples, Han Dong's skill in alchemy was considered outstanding.

As for Zhao Yu, he was the nominal disciple of the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect 's Second Elder, Yangchen. He was also a genius with excellent talent in alchemy.

In Wu Lia's mind, only Han Dong and Zhao Yu could compete with him in terms of Pill Dao. As for the rest of the disciples, he didn't even put them in his eyes.

"Indeed. Han Dong has been learning the alchemy from Great Elder Old Yan for many years, and Zhao Yu has also been learning the skill of alchemy from Second Elder and Yangchen for many years.

These two people are really tricky to deal with."

Dark-skinned youth nodded his head in agreement.

"Now, I declare that the alchemy competition will officially begin!"

Just as Wu Lia and dark-skinned youth were discussing, on the high platform, the old man once again spoke in a clear voice.

"Next, please follow the number plates that you have obtained from your registration and wait for orders at the designated Pill Stage area!

In a moment, there will be someone specially sent over to deliver the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Heart Cleansing Pill! "

This old man said one last sentence.

Immediately, many of the participating disciples in the venue boarded the corresponding Pill Stage according to their number plates.

Ye Lan was also led by Han Dong to the position of Pill Stage number 10.

After all the participating disciples had ascended the platform, not long after, there were disciples from the Inner Sect who sent the herbs needed to refine the Heart Cleansing Pill to each of the Pill Stage.

"Now, let's start concocting the ___. All of you only have the time for one incense stick to burn."

On the platform, the old man said loudly.

At that instant, many of the disciples began to get busy.

Some started to light the Pill Furnace, some helped to manage the herbs, weighing the herbs, and some sent the weighed spirit herbs into the Pill Furnace to refine.

"Junior Brother Ye, let's start too! Help me weigh these medicinal herbs one by one. I'll extract their medicinal properties."

Han Dong saw that many of the participating disciples had already formed a group of two people. They had a tacit understanding to start concocting pills. He was eager to try, so he told Ye Lan.

Ye Lan nodded. Then, he glanced at the ingredients in front of him. Suddenly, he frowned and saw the quality of one of the ingredients change.

"Junior Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

Han Dong asked curiously when he saw Ye Lan holding a spirit herbs in his hand.

"Senior Brother Han, the interior of this Iceheart Grass has deteriorated."

Ye Lan replied and handed the deteriorating Iceheart Grass to Han Dong for inspection.

Han Dong received the Iceheart Grass and discovered that there was nothing unusual about the spirit herbs's exterior. However, when he cut open the Iceheart Grass, he discovered that the interior of the spirit herbs had indeed deteriorated. He could not use it at all.

"How could this be? In this alchemy competition, many of the spirit herbs prepared by Pill Pavilion had been inspected. Why would there be a spirit herbs with a deteriorating quality mixed in?"0

Han Dong's face was filled with anger, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

In alchemy, the greatest taboo was to use a spirit herbs with a bad quality to concoct pills. If that was the case, it was possible that the spirit herbs would not be able to condense, and it might even blow up the furnace.

Therefore, when alchemist refined pills, it would strictly inspect all the spirit herbs required to refine pills, and ensure that the spirit herbs was safe and sound.

Once the spirit herbs was not usable, it would be dealt with on the spot.

"This is really strange. Why didn't Master Ye and the others make a move after so long? Now, nearly half of the time has passed. Many people have already finished purifying all the spirit herbs medicinal herbs."

In the audience seats, Su Zhan, Lau Jiaojiao, and the other Broken Sky Gang members who had come to watch the competition saw that Ye Lan and Han Dong had yet to make a move at Pill Stage No.10. They could not help but have puzzled expressions on their faces.

At this moment, not only were they curious, many disciples of the Inner Sect who came to watch the competition were also curious.

"This time, I want to see how all of you will pass the first round."

At the ninth Pill Stage, Wu Lia had already finished purifying all the spirit herbs, and was preparing to start the step of condensing the spirit herbs.

Taking advantage of his free time, he looked at the tenth Pill Stage not far away. He discovered that Han Dong and Ye Lan had not begun refining the medicinal pill after a long time. He could not help but laugh coldly as if his scheme had succeeded.

"Junior Brother Ye, someone must have done something to this in secret and did this on purpose.

Allow me to inform Chief Elder first, and have all the elders come and seek justice from abbot!"

Han Dong had been worrying about the Iceheart Grass for a long time in Pill Stage No.10. He could only decide not to refine the Iceheart Grass first. He had to report this matter to the elders.

"You don't need to trouble them. A mere deteriorating Iceheart Grass is not a problem for me. Senior Brother Han, I'll have to trouble you to weigh the spirit herbs for me. I'll refine the Iceheart Grass!"

Ye Lan said.

He knew in his heart that this Iceheart Grass that had deteriorated was definitely the doing of Wu Lia in the dark.

Ye Lan didn't want to report this matter to Chief Elder, because that would only make him feel like a coward.

When such a situation occurred, the only thing he could do was use this deteriorating Iceheart Grass to successfully refine a Heart Cleansing Pill, and make Wu Lia lose face.

Only by doing so could Ye Lan feel a great sense of satisfaction!

"Junior Brother Ye, can you do it?"

Han Dong was shocked, his face full of disbelief.

"Trust me."

Ye Lan replied. After saying this, he grabbed the Iceheart Grass into his hand, ignited the Pill Furnace, and began to purify the Iceheart Grass medicinal liquid.

Helpless, Han Dong could only follow Ye Lan's instructions and act accordingly. He weighed the spirit herbs on Ye Lan's behalf, and arranged them neatly.
