Chapter 18: The First Level: Refining Medicine

The sudden appearance of the fourth prince of the Dacheng Empire changed the atmosphere in the wooden shed, and the tense and depressing aura lingered around everyone.

After looking at the faces of everyone, Nie Kong knew that most people here had heard of or knew the strength of the fourth prince, and he smiled unconsciously. In this world without the Internet and TV, if you want to reach such a reputation among the elixir masters who are young in your twenties, it can be seen that the fourth prince should be relatively high-profile in his daily life, or have done very high-profile things.

When Nie Kong recalled what the fourth prince said to Mu Xiaoling just now, he understood that he had a very close judgment. If he was low-key, who would know which onion he was? Even if he was a prince, there would not be too many people who would care about it. After all, in the Tianling Continent, spiritual masters were tyrants, and the people's awe of imperial power were far inferior to those of Nie Kong's ancient society in his previous life, especially those spiritual masters from aristocratic families.

Perhaps for this fourth prince, gentleness is just a means, and arrogance is his nature, and it is difficult for him to integrate gentleness with his arrogant nature so naturally.

At this time, Mu Xiaoling had also begun to close her eyes and prepare for the upcoming competition. Obviously, the arrival of the fourth prince made her feel relieved. As for Mu Xinjiang, a guy who was purely here to make soy sauce, she kept whispering, as if cursing the fourth prince in front.

Nie Kong had nothing to prepare. Thinking of Qu Xinyi and Yu Qingguan mentioned by Mu Xinjiang, his eyes searched the crowd. However, there were thousands of people gathered in the wooden shed, and Nie Kong could only be considered a medium-sized person. It was really difficult to find two strangers in it.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise outside the platform, and the noise was shaking the sky.

When they heard the movement, everyone's expressions were cheered up, they stopped whispering, and those who closed their eyes and rested opened their eyes. They all understood that the sudden huge movement meant that the referee and VIP of the Medicine Fair had entered the venue, and the real competition was about to begin.

Sure enough, within a while, a pile of puppet figures like a mountain of meat appeared on the side of the platform, laughing and said, "The medicine competition begins soon. The young men and girls who participated in the competition, it's your turn now! Don't worry, line up according to the license plate.

This fat man Nie Kong had seen, named Nie Qingtong, and he was also his clan uncle by seniority. Although this "Thousand Spiritual Medicine Club" was held by the Lingbao Pavilion, most of the people who maintain order were from the Nie family, especially the spiritual masters in the Lingling and Spirit Transformation Realm, who were sent nearby.

At the greeting of two middle-aged men from the Nie family, nearly a thousand people began to walk out from both sides of the platform. When several pharmacists appeared on the left and right sides of the platform, dense crowds of people in the open space in front began to surge, and various sounds fluctuated over the courtyard like waves.

Among the five levels of the high stairs, the first level is the smoothest and covers the widest area. On this level, each stair is more than one meter wide, and there are neatly placed on it. There are various tools for refining spiritual medicines such as medicine cauldrons, bottles and jars on the table.

Of course, the elixir masters who participate in the competition can also bring their own medicine cauldrons. After all, some people are used to using their medicine cauldrons, and they may not be able to adapt when they are replaced.

"Bang!"

Nearly a thousand people stood behind the low table, and another powerful bell sound came from the Lingbao Pavilion next to them, and the noisy noise in the manor instantly suppressed. Before the bell sounded, the fourth-grade Lingbao Pavilion master, who had a thin body, took advantage of this opportunity to stand in front of the platform.

"Everyone..."

Mo Xingtu's loud voice was pressed by the spiritual power in his body, spreading across every corner of the manor like a big bell. "The 'Thousand Spiritual Medicine Club' competition is about to begin... The referees of this competition include the imperial royal family's items, Master Lingyao Cheng Feiliu, Master Mu Zisi of Lingbao Pavilion..."

Mo Xingtu speaks with passion and passion.

Nie Kong was drowsy when he heard it. In his previous life, the commentary of various festivals or grand ceremonies every year had already made him extremely annoyed. Moreover, in his eyes, Mo Xingtu's interpretation level was still in his amateur stage compared to those professional hosts in his previous life, and it was even more boring to listen. He only saw Mo Xingtu's lips constantly opening and closing, and then saliva flew everywhere. As for what he said, he had no impression at all.

However, Mu Xiaoling, Mu Xinjiang and others next to them all blinked without blinking, and they heard with relish. A strange thought suddenly appeared in Nie Kong's mind. If these people were asked to feel the large-scale grand events in his previous life, they would probably be able to glar their eyes out.

"Wow!"

Fierce applause and cheers suddenly sounded from the crowd in front. Nie Kong's spirit finally concentrated a little, and then he heard Mo Xingtu say: "I won't talk much, the competition begins soon. This first level is very simple, and it tests your overall level..."

Seeing that nearly a thousand spiritual medicine masters were all focused, a strange smile appeared on Mo Xingtu's face and pointed to the big hourglass beside him and said, "Before all the hourglass is over, you can successfully refine a second-grade spiritual medicine before you can enter the second level. The prescription and medicinal materials will be delivered to you later."

After hearing Mo Xingtu say that he only refined a second-grade spiritual medicine in the first level, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he was not a second-grade spiritual medicine master, he had the experience of successfully refining a second-grade spiritual medicine. Some spiritual medicine masters were also secretly alert, and this first level was not as easy as it seemed.

After glanced at everyone, Mo Xingtu's smile on the corner of his lips became even more bizarre.

After a short while, nearly a hundred young and beautiful maids in red dressed in red came out from behind the high platform with a round wooden plate. The swaying and beautiful figures shuttled between the Lingyao Master, took down the wooden boxes on the plate one by one, and placed them on the low table in front of the Lingyao Master.

The wooden box was closed, no one knew what prescriptions and medicinal materials were placed inside, and no one dared to open it secretly to take a few glances so as to prepare in advance. Because, just opposite the platform, nearly two hundred spiritual masters from the Mu family and Nie family stared at them with wide eyes and guarding against the thief.

In this case, if you want to cheat, there is only one result and you will be eliminated early!

For a moment...

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Xingtu, and even the onlookers in the manor calmed down, holding their breath, and waiting quietly!

...

"start!"

Finally, Mo Xingtu was like a general who was commanding thousands of troops. His right arm was slowly raised, and then he shouted loudly and slashed downwards. Almost at the same time, the huge hourglass beside him was turned over by a young man, and a clattering sound rang out.

"It's a pity!"

Nearly a thousand spiritual pharmacists grabbed the wooden box on the low table as fast as possible without hesitation, and the sound of opening the lid came one after another.

There are six grids in the box, and the first five grids contain a small amount of herbs. The last grid is a jade bottle. When your fingers touch it, a bone-breaking coldness comes. It seems that it should be ice tray water taken from the Nie Family Bingyan Cave. This ice tray water is suitable for the refining of a variety of spiritual medicines.

After twisting up the recipe that was rolled into a barrel and inserted into the corner of the box, Nie Kong was stunned for a moment, and then a sound of surprise sounded on the high platform...
