Chapter 247: A Gathering of Experts
.I originally wanted to go to Nangong Yuling, but I didn't expect to find Concubine Yun. However, Cheng Sheng felt that he had not entered the harem for nothing. He pushed down such a top-notch beauty. The lingering scene made him still remember it endlessly.
It was already bright at this moment. Cheng Sheng had a good night's sleep yesterday, so he naturally didn't fall asleep. He changed out of the palace outfit and thought that this palace outfit would be useful, so he put it in the ring and did not throw it away. Then he opened the door and left the house.
"So it's Brother Cheng, I slept well last night?" As soon as he went out, he met Jian Nantian who was getting up early. Jian Nantian couldn't help but smile and asked.
"Okay, okay, very good. I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time." Cheng Sheng replied sincerely. He fired five or six shots in one night, but he hasn't felt so comfortable for a long time.
"Hmph, then we will meet on the court." With a arrogant look, Jian Nantian walked towards the restaurant.
Jian Nantian has a good talent in alchemy, but he is not qualified to become Sheng's opponent. As a disciple of the Alchemy God, can he not have two tricks? Just stratifying the mental power is an unprecedented attempt. Who can achieve such achievements as him?
So, Cheng Sheng did not take him to heart. What's the point of a clown?
After coming to the restaurant for dinner, the envoy who brought them to the yard also came as scheduled and gathered everyone in the yard. Ten newcomers, a total of fifty, who were screened out every day for five days, left the yard together, and the envoy led them to the competition site.
This time, the princess of Wuli Kingdom attracted almost all the young alchemists in the empire, and recruiting prince consorts did not limit national boundaries. Therefore, there were young alchemists from other countries, which could be considered a relatively grand competition on the mainland, otherwise it would not have attracted five or six thousand young alchemists to participate.
However, among the five or six thousand people, after strict screening, only fifty people could enter the palace competition. Many people participated in five days and used 2,500 gold coins, but they still couldn't squeeze into the palace. Cheng Sheng was undoubtedly an alternative. He didn't know about Wu Li's bride recruitment, but was just going to pull Nangong Yuling back, and participated by chance, and successfully advanced in just one time.
The place in the palace was indeed very large. The carriage stopped for a while and a half incense. After Cheng Sheng and fifty alchemists got off the car, they saw that they had arrived on a huge field. Fifty alchemy tripods had already been arranged on the field. It was obvious that everything was done, and only the east wind was needed.
"The Emperor is here!"
"The queen is here!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here!"
"Your Highness the Princess is here!"
After four consecutive loud shouts, a team of extremely luxurious carriages drove towards this side. After stopping, Nangong Lingtian and the queen got out of the car sedan together. Several eunuchs held a cylindrical umbrella made of nylon to cover the top of their heads.
Grass, without the sun, can be wider!
Then another young man walked down from the car sedan chair behind him, with his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and he could be regarded as a handsome man. He followed Nangong Ling and the queen and walked towards the platform. It was Nangong Zhanpeng, the crown prince of Wuli Kingdom.
Behind it was Nangong Yuling wearing a phoenix crown and a long skirt, and she walked halfway through the way. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the field. It happened that Cheng Sheng was paying attention to her, and the two of them collided in the air again.
After thinking about it all night after returning to the bedroom, Nangong Yuling didn't understand why Cheng Sheng came to Wuli Kingdom? Did she want to catch up with this prince-consort? It's impossible. Although she hadn't deliberately inquired about Cheng Sheng's deeds, she was well-known in the Fighting Empire. He refused to be the son-consort of the Fighting Empire. Will he come to fight for the position of the son-consort of the Fighting Empire? Could it be for herself? Thinking of this question, she couldn't help but turn red and eventually denied it, because Cheng Sheng looked at her with a little cold look. She also thought that it was for Liu Sishi, but she still rejected it. It was something that he wanted to withdraw. How could he find herself back and rob him of women?
So, she didn't think of any reason overnight. She didn't know why Cheng Sheng came to Wuli Kingdom to recruit the prince-consort?
"Haha... Seeing all the energetic rookies, I feel that I am much younger. Today's game will eliminate forty players directly, leaving only ten winners to compete for tomorrow's finals. Youths must seize it." The young people who can squeeze into the top 50 are undoubtedly the best among alchemists, and Nangong Lingtian spoke politely.
This time, the recruitment of the prince-consort was held, which naturally had profound meanings. It was very necessary for the Nangong family to win over these excellent alchemists.
After a while, Nangong Lingtian finally said: "Today's topic is to refine a third-grade elixir, Qi Recovery Pill, only one piece of material, ten minutes to complete, and also advance to the top ten with excellent quality. All rookies should come on the stage."
There is only one piece of material, which means that if a little mistake occurs, it will cause irreparable losses and will have to be eliminated, which can be considered a great challenge.
The alchemy tripod was numbered. Cheng Sheng found his own alchemy tripod to take the seat. After that, a team of eunuchs took the medicinal materials for the revival pill and put them on the table next to the rookies. It turned out that there was only one piece of ingredients, without any extra, which made many people's faces calm.
Now is the time to test your mental power. You can't make any mistakes, otherwise all your previous efforts will be wasted and there will be no unnecessary opportunities.
Although today is not as crowded as yesterday, all the people watching are senior officials in the court, all important figures, and the pressure on the players in the field has increased.
Refining third-grade elixirs is not the same as second-grade elixirs. The alchemists in the Liancheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Shop can also refine second-grade elixirs of different grades, but third-grade elixirs are not possible. It is just an improvement of one grade. The mental strength and accuracy required for control are not at the same level at all.
"Are everyone ready?" After seeing the rookie in the game, the eunuch slapped the orchid finger and shouted sissyly.
"It's ready." After the medicinal materials were inspected, everyone responded in unison.
"The competition begins!"
As the eunuch issued an order, the rookie alchemists in the field began to take action one after another. Although everyone's faces were different, some were solemn, some were frowning, some were cautious, and some were calm, but their hands were very careful and slow, and they were not anxious. It can be seen that these members who had been strictly screened were indeed excellent.
Four of the fifty people did not take action. In addition to the white-robed young man Jian Nantian, there was also a young man in black robe who looked twenty-four or five years old, with white skin and moist face, and had the potential of a niche white face. The other was a young man in black robe who dressed very simple and looked very ordinary, but was named the most dangerous opponent by Cheng Sheng, and the last one was naturally Cheng Sheng.
Dare not to take action in such a game is not only a recognition of one's own strength, but also a pride of being an alchemist, who dares to despise his opponent. In addition to these four people, the other forty-six people all started immediately as soon as the game started, and they did not dare to delay for half a quarter of an hour.
The eyes of the four people were constantly intertwined in the scene, conveying nothing more than a message, that is, provocation, to see who dares to take action at the latest.
Time passed quickly, and some people also broke the pills and left silently until about five minutes later, Jian Nantian saw several people, snorted and took action. Obviously, he lost one of the momentum when he started the action first.
Then, the young white-faced man in the dark robe also took action. Cheng Sheng and the young man in the black robe looked at each other, and once again stalemate for nearly a minute. After exchanging a look, they took action at the same time tacitly.
When Cheng Sheng and the young man in black robe fought, ten people had left sadly from the field because they had smashed the pills and were not qualified to stay in the field again.
With only about four minutes left, it is very compact to refine a third-grade pill. Since the medicinal materials used for the Qi Recovery Pill have been used for more than ten times, Cheng Sheng did not dare to divide his mental power into more than ten layers at the same time. If he is not careful, he may become a fool.
Therefore, he threw the medicinal materials into the alchemy cauldron as well, accurately measuring the time to within 0.2 seconds. Only by mastering the time can the elixir refined beautify and the quality will be better. If one of the medicinal materials is refined for two more seconds, the quality will definitely be affected and will decrease accordingly.
With Cheng Sheng's evil spirit, time can naturally be easily controlled. Those who observe carefully will find that the young man in the black robe is almost exactly the same as his. It can be said that he threw the same medicinal materials into the alchemy cauldron at the same time with the same force.
Most of the eyes were gathered among these two people, and they were quite surprised by their tacit understanding.
After eight minutes, the elixirs were released when the person who started the attack at the beginning. None of these players were sure of it and dared not squeeze the time to the shortest to refine it like Cheng Sheng and others. Then, elixirs were released one after another. Unexpectedly, more than half of the elixirs were released from the furnace, which was a very surprising result.
