The first volume debuts Chapter 94 One more game!
At this time, many people noticed Li Xuanfeng, who had a mess on the alchemy table, and Zhang Wen, who had a smile on his face.
Smart people now understood that the abnormal burning speed of the incense was not an accident, but was intended to deal with Shi Feng!
This is to prevent him from refining the third pill! I didn't expect Zhang Wen to be so powerful. In order to keep his position, he could even team up with the presiding elder Zhou Qian to cheat!
"There is no suspense in this alchemy competition. Zhang Wen won with a perfect Spiritual Base Pill and two top-grade Spiritual Base Pills!" Zhou Qian suppressed the pride in his heart, pretended to be calm on the surface, and announced immediately.
"Wait!" At this moment, a voice came from the alchemy platform where Li Xuanfeng was, which had many cracks on the formation, causing everyone to look back in surprise.
Then, the cracks on the formation increased again. In the blink of an eye, they became so dense and numerous that they completely covered the entire formation!
Then with a dull cracking sound, the formation completely collapsed. The smile on Zhou Qian's face disappeared instantly. When the formation collapsed, he smelled the aroma of freshly-made elixir!
Similarly, other alchemists also smelled the fragrance of the elixir and looked surprised. Could it be that he had failed in refining the elixir?
For those who have been refining pills all year round, they can tell whether the pill is freshly out of the oven or has been refined for a long time just by smelling it.
The freshly-made pills have a fresh fragrance, just like a lotus flower that has just bloomed. However, the pills that have been refined for a long time have a more restrained fragrance, just like a cup of tea, which can only be fully appreciated after taking a sip.
Almost all the second-level alchemists do not want Zhang Wen to win the first place in the alchemy conference again, as that would mean that they would be bullied for another year, or even longer.
Under everyone's attention, Li Xuanfeng waved his sleeves to disperse the smoke and dust from the exploding furnace, and the scene around him was finally clearly visible to everyone.
He grabbed with his right hand a round, crystal clear pill that was shining and spinning around. Waves of fragrance were emanating from the pill.
Li Xuanfeng put the pill in his hand into the pill testing plate, and five small words immediately flashed: Perfect Spiritual Base Pill!
The desolation in Su Ming's eyes instantly turned into excitement. He succeeded!
Zhang Wen's face changed drastically. Is he going to give up the first place he got?
Zhou Qian was an elder after all, so his expression did not change at all, except for a gloomy look in his eyes. He did not expect that Shi Feng would succeed in refining the drug in this way!
The other second-level alchemists also showed joy on their faces. Although they didn’t know what kind of person Shi Feng was, they believed that he would not be worse than Zhang Wen.
At this time, the twenty receptionists handed the statistical refining results to Zhou Qian. The rankings had been arranged, and they were just waiting for him to announce the results.
While everyone was waiting for Zhou Qian to announce the result, Zhou Qian did not speak for a long time, and did not seem be in a hurry at all. Zhou Qian stared at Li Xuanfeng, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if thinking!
Doubts arose in everyone's mind, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through Su Ming's heart. In such a situation, could it be that Zhou Qian still had a plan to turn the situation around?
What everyone didn't know was that at this moment Zhou Qian was using telepathy to communicate with Zhang Wen who was not far away from him!
The transmission of sound by spiritual consciousness is extremely secretive. If one does not have a cultivation level much higher than that of the transmitter, it cannot be detected at all.
"Now let me announce the results of this alchemy conference! A total of ten people received rewards!" Finally, Zhou Qian spoke up and began to announce the results.
"No. 196 and No. 239 have refined two mid-grade Spiritual Foundation Pills and are tied for ninth place."
Each alchemy table has a different number, and you can directly report the number when announcing the result.
"Alchemy platforms No. 120 , No. 53, and No. 160 have refined a top-grade pill and a mid-grade pill, and are tied for sixth place! The above five people will step out and receive a mid-grade foundation-enhancing pill as a reward!"
After Zhou Qian announced the last five, he took out a pill bottle from his storage ring, and shook his right hand holding the pill bottle, and five mid-grade foundation-enhancing pills flew out. With a wave of Zhou Qian's sleeves, the five pills flew accurately to the five people who were already standing in front of everyone!
"No. 36 Luo Tianzhi and No. 27 Zhao Tianyuan have refined two top-grade Spiritual Foundation Pills and tied for fourth place, and received a top-grade Foundation Enhancement Pill as a reward!"
"No. 18 Su Ming, you have refined three high-grade Spiritual Foundation Pills and won the third place. You will be rewarded with a Perfect Foundation Upgrading Pill!"
"Thank you, Elder Zhou!" Zhou Qian distributed the reward pills one by one, and the alchemists who won the prizes all showed joy on their faces, clasped their fists and thanked him in unison. For those of them who were in the Spiritual Foundation Realm, the Shengji Pill was a wonderful medicine to improve their cultivation.
Even if one has already taken it, or one's cultivation has reached the perfection of spiritual foundation and the foundation-raising pill has lost its effect on one, it can still be sold at a high price.
The perfect foundation-enhancing pill that Su Ming obtained was extremely rare, and its price was equivalent to hundreds of high-quality foundation-enhancing pills!
Because the foundation-raising pill is only effective once, and the higher the quality, the greater the chance of a breakthrough. Therefore, the higher the quality of the foundation-raising pill, the more sought after it is, resulting in the price of the foundation-raising pill being dozens of times higher for each quality upgrade!
Just when everyone was waiting for Zhou Qian to announce the first and second place, he paused again!
After a moment, he continued his announcement, but the words he said made countless people open their eyes wide in disbelief!
"As for the top two, since Zhang Wen and Shi Feng both refined perfect Spiritual Foundation Pills, and Shi Feng's last refining was slightly controversial, the General Alliance decided to add another alchemy competition! This time we will increase the difficulty and refine the Foundation Ascension Pill!"
Many alchemists and audiences couldn't help but complain in their hearts, what do you mean by slightly controversial? We didn't hear anyone having any controversy, this is complete nonsense!
Su Ming was furious. He didn't expect Zhou Qian to come up with such a plan. However, he said it was the decision of the general alliance, so Su Ming didn't dare to refute it. He had to continue to pin his hopes on Li Xuanfeng, hoping that he could surpass Zhang Wen again in refining the Shengji Pill.
After hearing this, Li Xuanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked deeply at Zhou Qian and Zhang Wen, but did not refute.
Zhang Wen was extremely proud, as this idea was a backup plan he had thought of a long time ago. Before the alchemy conference, he already knew that Shi Feng and he were close in success rate in refining the top-grade Foundation-Boosting Pill, so he would most likely win by refining the Foundation-Boosting Pill!
Even the twenty receptionists from the headquarters looked at Zhou Qian in astonishment. They did not know that the headquarters had made this decision. Normally speaking, Shi Feng would have won this alchemy conference.
However, Zhou Qian was the presiding elder and they were just receiving guests. It was normal for them not to know the latest decision of the general alliance. Therefore, they did not dare to raise any objection and could only continue to prepare the herbs for refining the foundation-enhancing pill.
What only Zhou Qian and Zhang Wen knew was that it was Zhou Qian who tampered with the rules this time. If the Alchemy Alliance knew about it, who knows what the consequences would be.
Zhang Wen paid a huge price and guaranteed victory to barely convince Zhou Qian, and after careful consideration, Zhou Qian decided to take a gamble!
As long as Zhang Wen can win, he will be able to explain to the General Alliance that it was to prevent luck from burying a true alchemy genius.
As long as he wins the bet, he will get the resources and even more. Even if he loses the bet, I believe the General Alliance will not make things too difficult for an elder of such a noble status just because of a small second-level alchemist!
"The rules of this competition are slightly different from the last one. You will have three chances to refine the Foundation Ascension Pill. The one with the highest quality will win. There is no time limit. You can finish refining it within today!"
During Zhou Qian's conversation with Zhang Wen, he decided not to set a time limit because he took into account that his speed in refining the Foundation-Upgrading Pill was not very fast and he could not rush to ensure the quality. He did not want to give Shi Feng a chance to win.
"One more thing, in this alchemy competition, you can choose to use the alchemy furnace on the alchemy table, or you can use your own alchemy furnace!" Zhou Qian added.
Su Ming's face changed drastically after hearing this. He knew that Zhang Wen's alchemy furnace was of top level three, and he had never seen Li Xuanfeng's, but he thought that it must not be as high quality as Zhang Wen's.
This is exactly the strategy of Zhou Qian and Zhang Wen. The higher the quality of the alchemy furnace, the higher the success rate of refining. By specifying this rule, Zhang Wen's chances of winning will be greater!
Su Ming did not expect the two to be so shameless. Not only did they go against their word and add an alchemy competition just to win, but they also proposed the rule that Shi Feng could use his own alchemy furnace. They were simply targeting Shi Feng in every possible way!
What Zhou Qian and Zhang Wen didn't expect was that after hearing what Li Xuanfeng said, he glanced at them with a smile, as if he didn't care about the rule of not restricting the alchemy furnace, which made the two of them feel a little uneasy!
"You're just pretending to be an elephant by sticking a scallion in a pig's nose. Let's see how long you can keep pretending." The two men snorted in their hearts, not believing that Li Xuanfeng had any chance of turning the tables.
At this time, the receptionists were ready and had selected two alchemy platforms in front. In order to facilitate watching the competition at the same time, the two alchemy platforms were not far apart. The herbs for refining the three foundation-raising pills were ready next to the alchemy furnaces.
"Everything is ready, the alchemy competition begins!" Seeing that everything was ready, Zhou Qian immediately announced the start.
