"It actually has the miraculous effect of calming one's mind. Go, quickly investigate his background. We must recruit this kind of person into our Merchant Alliance at all costs!"
A middle-aged man ordered the person beside him.
There was only one Merchant Alliance in the Celestial Qilin Kingdom, and that was the Celestial Qilin Merchant Alliance run by the royal family.
This middle-aged man was the Alliance Master of the Celestial Qilin Merchant Alliance … Lu Heshang.
After hearing his order, the person beside him did not dare to stay any longer and quickly retreated with a bow.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing when I took the time to watch the competition. Who would reject the Flowing Cloud Pill that calms one's mind? If we can recruit this kid into our Merchant Alliance, we will have the opportunity to spread our name to other countries and even the Central Region. Who knows …"
Lu Heshang wore a smile on his face as he began to form a beautiful blueprint in his heart.
The Celestial Qilin branch of the Lu Family had almost been forgotten by the Lu Family. It was obvious that the Celestial Qilin branch did not contribute much to the Lu Family. If they did not do something, they would be … abandoned by the Lu Family!
The fate of being abandoned was definitely to be swallowed up by the surrounding countries.
However, it might not be long before Lu and Shang found out that the brat he was interested in already had his own Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps at that time, he would even become a strong opponent of their Merchant Alliance. At that time, who knew what he would think.
"Tsk, it was just a coincidence!"
Although Wang Muyu said so, it was obvious that he was saying sour grapes because he could not eat them.
"Sorry, I seem to have stolen your limelight."
Qin Yichen only tilted his head slightly and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
It was fine if he did not speak, but once he did, he could anger someone to death!
Moreover, he had stepped on Wang Muyu's sore spot.
"You …"
Wang Muyu suddenly felt a wave of panic in his chest. However, at this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Yichen. He did not dare to go too far. Otherwise, if he was disqualified from the competition, it would be too much of a loss.
"Hmph, this is only the first round of the test. You should pray that your luck will remain the same. At the very least, don't let your furnace explode!"
In the end, he coldly snorted, withdrew his gaze, and quietly waited for the second round to begin. However, from his undulating chest, it was not difficult to see that his heart was extremely unsettled.
On the bluestone platform below, the alchemist from the Derui Kingdom who refined the Grade Three Elixir narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yichen.
"It's just a grade one pill. Could it be that Tian Lin wants to rely on you to defeat me?"
The corners of his mouth curled into a proud arc.
The reason why he came to the Celestial Qilin Kingdom wasn't because he was inferior to anyone in the Derui Kingdom. Instead, it was because he was a member of the Derui Kingdom's royal family. This was also specially arranged by the royal family.
"No one can stop me from swallowing Heaven Qilin!"
He closed his eyes and stood there to rest.
"Next, let's begin the second round of the test!"
Seeing that the inspection was complete, Guye nodded his head. Soon after, the guild members took their items and walked towards the remaining contestants.
After a short while, a large pile of ingredients and a formula were placed neatly in front of the remaining dozen or so contestants.
"The formula this time is the orthodox formula. It was also created by the Alchemist Guild after spending a year's time. In this round of the test, you only need to follow the formula and successfully refine the elixir. The ingredients in front of you are enough for you to refine the elixir twice. In other words, you have two chances to refine the elixir!"
"Refining the elixir according to the formula. Isn't this kind of test a little too simple? Could it be that they saw that there were too many people in the first round and purposely gave us some benefits?"
Qin Yichen muttered in his heart. He didn't believe that the Alchemist Guild would be so kind. Following that, after he finished looking at the formula in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
"Swift Elixir, Grade One High Grade Elixir. It allows the user to sense the wind attribute energy in the world for a short period of time, thereby increasing one's movement speed."
At the back of the formula's introduction, the required ingredients, quantity, and even the order and time to put them in, as well as the temperature, were clearly written.
This formula was probably worth a lot.
"They can even take out such a small trick. The standard of the Celestial Qilin Kingdom's alchemists is really disappointing."
On the platform, as he looked at the formula in his hand, a mocking smile appeared on the face of the Derui Kingdom's alchemist.
At this moment, the participating alchemists had already seriously looked through the formula. Practically all of them believed that this round was only a test of one's ability. Therefore, they didn't think too much about it and started to make a fire before preparing to refine the elixir.
After all, this was a Grade One High Grade Elixir. Even if a Grade Two Alchemist were to refine it, the failure rate would still be quite high!
Of course, among these alchemists, there was no lack of meticulous and cautious people. For some of them, this wasn't the first time they had participated in the Grand Competition. With the sudden simplicity of the test, they didn't dare to take it lightly. However, after hesitating for a long time, they still didn't discover anything wrong. They could only helplessly shake their heads and believe that they were overthinking it. Then, they started to carefully make a fire.
Following the start of the test, the noise in the audience gradually died down. Numerous gazes stared at the alchemists in the arena.
Very quickly, some of the more skilled alchemists had already finished refining the medicinal ingredients. After which, they poured the essence into the pill furnace and started the final refining.
“
！”|
Suddenly, a soft muffled sound abruptly rang out from one of the green stone platforms. When the crowd heard the sound, they saw a Grade One Alchemist staring blankly at the broken pill furnace in front of him and the pile of turbid and charred medicinal liquid within.
It was obvious that the furnace had exploded!
"How is this possible? I followed the steps in the formula completely. I paid attention to every detail. How could it fail?!"
This alchemist couldn't find the reason and could only attribute the failure to his own control.
“
！”
“
！”
At this moment, the sound of several furnaces exploding rang out from the surroundings. Those alchemists all stared blankly at the exploded pill furnaces in front of them.
If it was only one furnace explosion, there would still be an explanation. However, it was a little thought-provoking to have consecutive furnace explosions.
It was obvious that there was a problem with the formula!
They suddenly felt that they were too naive …
"In this round, other than testing one's ability, it also tests one's ability to recognize medicinal ingredients …"
Qin Yichen only took a glance at the formula and discovered that there was something wrong with it.
