Chapter 786:Puzzled Liu Qinyue
Baili Hongzhuang looked at various herbs in front of her, and thought of the pills that can be made using these herbs quickly.
"Jinling grass, rare spirit wood, black rattan branches..."
After taking a look at these herbs, Hongzhuang suddenly realized, and she had already guessed pill.
"The Healing Pill!"
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes slightly lifted, and her line of sight fell on Liu Qinyue. If what she guessed was true, then these herbs were the herbs needed to refine the Healing Pill.
Listening to Baili Hongzhuang, Liu Qinyue also looked at the medicinal herbs, she smiled.
"Hongzhuang, you are right, it is the Healing Pill!"
Baili Hongzhuang also smiled, and then the herbs needed to make the Healing Pill were immediately selected from the various herbs.
When Baili Hongzhuang picked out the herbs needed for the Healing Pill, Liu Qinyue was also looking for the next Pill which could be made from the given herbs.
When Liu Qinyue thought about it, Baili Hongzhuang looked at the Jinling grass in her hand. The weight of this Jinling grass seems to be more than that of other herbs.
Liu Qinyue looked at the medicinal herbs with concern, as she frowned, "How can this be?"
Baili Hongzhuang saw that Liu Qinyue did not answer for a long time, and could not help but ask: "Qinyue, you did not find out?"
Liu Qinyue shook her head slightly, she was anxious. As a matter of fact, this was not a difficult assessment, but the time was very important.
The speed of the Lingyin College and the Beihai College Alchemists was not slow at all.
Compared to the tensed Liu Qinyue, Baili Hongzhuang was very calm.
She clearly knows that anxiety would not help; it would be the opposite, and may drag down their progress.
What's more, the alchemy competition is the result of the combination of three assessments. It is not decided by a single assessment. There were still other 2 rounds.
"No." Liu Qinyue's brows were slightly wrinkled. This situation was really strange.
"Hongzhuang, I think the rest of the herbs are likely the herbs needed to the refining of Heaven Origin Pill, but Jinling grass has already been used as an ingredient for the Healing Pill. The Heaven Origin Pill would lack Jingling Grass."
Liu Qinyue couldn't understand it. According to the rules of the contest, there should be enough herbs for refining two kinds of Pills.
Hearing these words, the Baili Hongzhuang smiled. "Yes, it is Heaven Origin Pill. You should take out the herbs for Heaven Origin Pill first."
Liu Qinyue felt that it was strange. But seeing that Baili Hongzhuang was so affirmative, she did not hesitate, and took out the herbs.
"Hongzhuang, but the Jinling grass..."
Just as Liu Qinyue was puzzled, Baili Hongzhuang had split the Jinling Grass in her hand into two, and she smiled and looked at Liu Qinyue.
Upon seeing it, Liu Qinyue once again looked at the two herbs, and she was smiling with joy.
She did not expect that this test was not only to test their ability to recognize the herbs and pills, but also to test their mastery in them.
Then, Liu Qinyue and Baili Hongzhuang smiled and raised their hands together, indicating that they had completed the first round of assessment.
Upon seeing it, the three Alchemists also stood up and slowly marched towards the two of them.
Chapter 787: TheFirst Place
Below the high platform, everyone in the crowd looked with curiosity. Previously they only saw that the three teams were constantly busy, but they did not understand what they were doing.
At the moment, after seeing that Baili Hongzhuang's team were the first to raise their hands, they were surprised. They didn't expect the Canglan College's Alchemists to be so powerful.
"I knew that Hongzhuang would be the fastest!"
Xia Zhiqing smiled; in her eyes, Baili Hongzhuang was the most outstanding Alchemist in the world.
Although she did not know the level of the Alchemists of Lingyin College and Beihai College, she still had full confidence in Baili Hongzhuang.
Gong Shaoqing and others also showed a faint smile. Compared with the martial arts' competition, the Alchemy contest undoubtedly made them relax.
After all, Liu Qinyue was the disciple of Huan Chuyou, and it was not for show.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at the other two teams. Their speed was not slow, but they were trapped on the same problems as Liu Qinyue.
If there were two Jinling grasses among these herbs, then in this first assessment it would really be difficult to say who would win.
The three alchemists went to stand in front of Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue. After seeing Liu Qinyue, they showed a faint smile.
For Liu Qinyue, they were no strangers. On the contrary, they were very familiar with the disciple of Huan Chuyou. At this moment, they also show a kind light.
The three people looked at the medicinal herbs placed on the table and couldn't help but nod. The result of this distribution was not wrong.
In front of the medicinal herbs, Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue have already noted on the paper about which herbs were used to refine which pill.
Especially after seeing the Jinling grass that was divided into two, Chu Jiyou nodded and then smiled as she said: "You have done well!"
As she said those words, Chu Jiyou's eyes couldn't help but fall on Baili Hongzhuang. Their previous discussion was not missed by them, and it was clear that it was Baili Hongzhuang who first discovered the problem of in the Jinling grass.
According to their understanding, Baili Hongzhuang was a cultivator who concentrated on cultivation. They did not expect that Baili Hongzhuang was alsoan alchemist, and she was very knowledgeable in it too. This surprised hem a bit.
After hearing Chu Jiyou's words, Baili's Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue looked at each other and a smile spread across their lips.
After the Alchemists of Lingyin College and Beihai College saw that Baili Hongzhuang had been completed, they could not help but feel anxious.
This anxiousness would inevitably confuse them, but it will be slower.
After Huan Chuyou saw the performance of the Baili Hongzhuang, the corner of his mouth was also showing a light smile.
He was very confident in the accomplishments of these two people in alchemy.
Although the three alchemists have not announced the results, but with his understanding of them from being friends for many years, Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue obviously won.
Jian Qingqiu's brows were slightly wrinkled. He thought that by using this method he could defeat the Canglan College. But he didn't expect that Baili Hongzhuang was really useful. She helped Liu Qinyue to complete the first round of assessment at the fastest speed. This was obviously not within his plan.
Cang Hongxi's brows were also slightly wrinkled. According to the situation of Baili Hongzhuang, this assessment should not be difficult. Then, why were the two of their colleges not completed yet?
Chapter 788:Lingyin College Lost
Regarding today's alchemy competition, Cang Hongxi was very nervous about it.
In fact, the only alchemist in Beihai College who came with the team this time was Gu Yaoyi. It was only after Jian Qingqiu and Lin Yinghao told him about today's plan yesterday that another person was added to the team.
This person is not a practitioner of Beihai College, but Jian Qingqiu help him find this person.
Although Jian Qingqiu patted his chest to ensure that this will not cause any problems, but in his heart, he was still a bit nervous.
Once this issue is exposed, then the reputation of Beihai College would undoubtedly take a huge blow.
However, the person that Jian Qingqiu found, Wei Hanyun was a second grade Alchemist. The standard of his alchemy was very exquisite. With his participation, Beihai College could have more chance in this alchemy competition.
According to his thoughts, with the addition of Wei Hanyun, this round of assessment should have been easy to win, but he did not expect that the first to complete would be the Canglan college's team. It was somewhat unexpected.
"Jinling grass is just little trick of the three alchemy masters. It is very easy to find it out. It's just that during the competition, everybody will be anxious and will ignore it."
After Liu Qinyue saw that the other two teams were still anxious, and couldn't solve the problem, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Hongzhuang, fortunately you were careful enough. Otherwise I don't know when I would have understood this."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly. "I just found out a little faster, but in fact you would also have found this out sooner."
Liu Qinyue was actually aware that Baili Hongzhuang said this because she didn'twant to hurt her feelings. In fact, she understood herself very well. She knew that her psychological endurance can't really compare to Baili Hongzhuang.
She was a bit older than Baili Hongzhuang, but Hongzhuang seems to have a very rich experience. And no matter when, she was not the least bit anxious.
In contrast, she was be a little nervous on such occasions, and even affecting her performance so that it was not as good as usual.
The second one to finish was the Alchemists of Beihai College, and the third was Lingyin College.
The Lingyin College and the Beihai College teams almost completed at the same time, except that the Beihai College alchemists raised their hands slightly faster.
In the end, the Canglan college scored three points, Beihai College scored two points, and Lingyin College scored one point.
For this result, the Alchemists at Lingyin College felt very helpless. If there was any time difference, it was only a few milliseconds. But they lost a point.
In fact, the Alchemists at Beihai College were also very annoyed. They had already concluded that many of these herbs were for the Healing Pill and Heaven Origin Pill, but they have never noticed the problem of Jinling grass.
Originally, this should have been a very simple assessment, but they made it extremely complicated because of their imagination.
Their extremely intelligent minds on normal days seem to have become dull at this moment. They have failed to solve such simple problems, which really makes them fell that it was somewhat unacceptable.
Baili Hongzhuang also feels that in this assessment they have won some luck, and this first assessment was not difficult at all.
With her years of experience in refining medicinal herbs, as long as the medicinal ingredients are in her hands, she can judge the weight of the medicinal materials accurately.
When Chu Jiyou announced the results in a loud voice, everyone under the high platform was also amazed.
Chapter 789:Half-Baked Alchemist
"What happened to Lingyin College? Lingyin College has always been the undisputed leader, but why has the situation changed?"
The people of Qing Country were somewhat disappointed after knowing this result. According to their thoughts, Lingyin College should always be the first.
After all, for many years, the performance of Lingyin College has been outstanding, and it was the pride of the entire Qing Dynasty. However, this time the reality was somewhat disappointing.
"The Canglan college has been suppressed for too long, and in this year's Inter-college competition, they seem to be breaking out of the suppression."
"What are you worried about? This is just the first round of assessment. The final result is not necessarily the case."
The vast majority of people in the Qing Dynasty believed that Lingyin College will surely win the final victory. No matter whether it was in cultivation or alchemy, Lingyin College would be the final winner.
Wei Hanyun's gaze fell on Baili Hongzhuang, and there was strong dissatisfaction in his eyes. This defeat was really too embarrassing.
"There is no one capable in the Canglan college except for Liu Qinyue. Even a cultivator has been sent up to make up the numbers. It seems that Liu Qinyue's burden is not small."
Wei Hanyun's gaze fell on Liu Qinyue, but his words were obviously mocking Baili Hongzhuang.
He really didn't understand, the cultivators should just focus on cultivating, but instead of doing that, he didn't know what she was doing here.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at Wei Hanyun indifferently. Now she was immune to such provocative remarks, and it didn't cause any emotional fluctuations.
However, Wei Hanyun was someone she had never seen before, Therefore, she thought that it was a bit strange.
Previously, Beihai College never had this character, and Wei Hanyun's age was also not small. How could the Beihai college have such a person?
Liu Qinyue's brows furrowed, and by instinct she disliked this Wei Hanyun. She indifferently said, "Hongzhuang's alchemy is level is very high, and she is a very good Alchemist."
She didn't know who Wei Hanyun was, but since he used her name to mock Hongzhuang, she couldn't let Wei Hanyun smear Hongzhuang's name.
Listening to Liu Qinyue's words, Wei Hanyun even ridiculed her with a smile, "Liu Qinyue, I did not expect that your ability to spout nonsense is getting more and more powerful."
The two Alchemists of Lingyin College were men, called Qi Junnan and Ye Ruyu.
When they saw Wei Hanyun taunting Baili Hongzhuang, they both could not help but join.
"It's no secret that there are not many alchemy talents in the Canglan College... Even a half- baked alchemist is better than nothing." Ye Ruyu chuckled.
Wei Hanyun and Ye Ruyu looked at each other. Compared with Canglan College, Lingyin College and Beihai College were allies, so they can be described as a united front.
Baili Hongzhuang's cold eyes swept through Wei Hanyun and others, and her lips slowly evoked a charming and enchanting smile, but it was unusual under such circumstances.
"It seems like the few of you are excellent alchemists?"
Wei Hanyun and others looked proudly at Baili Hongzhuang. "Of course."
They put all their thoughts on the refining medicinal herbs, and they were obviously not in the same level as ordinary alchemists.
Chapter 790:Black-Bellied Baili Hongzhuang
Baili Hongzhuang's red lips were slightly hooked, and her smile became more and more fascinating, "In that case, how did you lose in the First round of the assessment?"
As soon as this was said, Wei Hanyun and other people's faces changed a bit. The words of Baili Hongzhuang was obviously to embarrass them.
"That's just Liu Qinyue's ability, and you have nothing to do with it." Wei Hanyun sighed, this first round of failure was a shame to him.
Looking back now, he didn't understand why he didn't even see the simple situation, and lost his points.
Baili Hongzhuang was indifferent towards his sarcasm, "So, that is to say, Liu Qinyue's strength is enough to defeat your teams. Even if I am only half-baked alchemist and was sent to make up the number, so what?"
Wei Hanyun and others were stunned, and they didn't understand Baili Hongzhuang. They only felt that their fists were hit with cotton, and they felt uncomfortable
Why was Baili Hongzhuang not acting according to common sense?
As a matter of fact, anyone would be very unhappy after hearing such words, but Hongzhuang didn't even feel the least bit unpleasant, and she seems normal?
They just want to disturb Baili Hongzhuang's heart in this way. As a result,in the next performance, Baili Hongzhuang would most likely drag behind Liu Qinyue, so that they may win.
However, this didn't seem to work on Baili Hongzhuang. It really made them feel helpless.
Liu Qinyue admired Baili Hongzhuang. If she got insulted, she would feel very unpleasant, but Hongzhuang could turn this situation around and caused someone else's unhappiness.
This ability was what she admired the most.
After all, Baili Hongzhuang was a genius among geniuses in Alchemy, even hundreds of her may not necessarily be able to defeat Hongzhuang in this regard.
This group of guys who were looking down upon Baili Hongzhuang would definitely suffer in the coming rounds.
"Thick Skinned!"
Gu Yaoyi looked at Baili Hongzhuang with contempt, and she really didn't understand how there could be thick skinned like a woman like her.
If it was her, she would be ashamed to hear such remarks.
"Thanks for your compliment." Baili's Hongzhuang was still smiling. "Now, in this world, if your skin is not thick enough (aka. If you are not shameless enough), it is difficult to go far. For example, you. I admire your shamelessness."
With the words of Baili Hongzhuang, Gu Yaoyi's face suddenly changed, and the phrase "Baili Hongzhuang" apparently took all of her energy into it.
"Baili Hongzhuang, you...!"
Gu Yaoyi was arrogant, and she has never seen such a sharp-tongued person like Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang slightly lifted her right hand and directly stopped Gu Yaoyi's words. "Needless to say, we can see it in the alchemy contest. And be careful to not lose to me, this half-baked alchemist... Otherwise it would really be a shame for your college."
Gu Yaoyi glanced angrily at Baili Hongzhuang. "In your dreams! That is absolutely impossible!"
Baili Hongzhuang shrugged without care, and she was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Little Black couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Baili Hongzhuang. "Black bellied!"
The slap in the face of Gu Yaoyi and others would be very louder than it would have been before. But it was to be expected from its master.
"Master! You can really play the pig and eat the tiger [1]." Little White also laughed.
Notes:
[1] It means that pretending to be weak like a pig, but in reality, being strong enough to eat a tiger.
