"There has always been a legend in the Medicine Palace that Gu Haoran was the traitor who massacred the entire Medicine Palace, Xiao Ran!"
Han Yan was silent for a moment as a hint of fear flashed across her cold face. "At the time of the incident, I had just entered the Medicine Palace and was arranged by the mentors to a place far away from the battlefield with a group of new students."
"Those who have never seen it with their own eyes would never be able to imagine how terrifying that scene was … The entire Medicine Palace seemed to have entered the end of the world. I still remember that the entire Medicine Palace was in a state of panic. Everyone was panicking and did not know what to do. The students were in a state of chaos as they fled in all directions while the mentors continued to reinforce and join the battle. "
"The battlefield was in the north of the Medicine Palace. At that time, the entire northern sky was completely filled with brilliant rays of spiritual power. Huge explosions resounded throughout the world and the aftermath of the battle spread to every corner of the Medicine Palace. There were collapsed palaces and crying students everywhere. The entire earth was shaking … "
"The entire Medicine Palace was filled with a strong smell of blood as if it had turned into hell. Familiar or unfamiliar seniors and juniors turned into corpses in the blink of an eye. Some were directly killed by the devil-like man, some were caught in the aftermath of the battle, and some were crushed to death by the collapsed palaces. Corpses piled up into mountains and blood flowed like rivers. Many of the new students and I who had just entered the Medicine Palace hid in the forest of the Medicine Palace and trembled. Many of our junior sisters were so scared that they lost control of their bowels … "
Unconsciously, the cold girl's fists had been tightly clenched.
She seemed to have recalled the terrifying scene that year and even her body was trembling slightly.
After a long time, her body slowly calmed down.
The short disciple was completely stunned. He had never thought that the battle back then would be so tragic. His lips trembled slightly and a touch of fear appeared on his face. "That Xiao Ran, is he really that terrifying …"
Han Yan nodded slightly. "It is because he is so terrifying that the mentors personally came to supervise the second round of the competition just in case. After all, mentors are currently one of the few powerhouses in the Medicine Palace who can intimidate Gu Haoran, aside from the three elders of the Medicine Palace … "
Just as the monitoring hall fell into silence, the bald mentor standing at the altar in the center of the ruins gradually finished introducing the few most competitive teams.
After nodding slightly in acknowledgement, the bald instructor's expression began to turn serious.
"Now that I've introduced these teams, I'm going to talk about the rules of the second round. Actually, the rules of the second round can only be summarized in one word, and that is … alchemy!"
Hearing the bald instructor's words, the students were slightly stunned. Then, they nodded in understanding.
To be honest, the alchemy round was inevitable. After all, this was the Intermediate Alchemist Competition and not some kind of life-and-death battlefield.
Other than having a strong battle prowess, the most important aspect of an alchemist was their ability to refine pills.
"And this time, the pills that everyone wants to refine are Ancient Pills!"
As soon as the bald instructor's voice fell, the ruins' square, which had just calmed down, was once again filled with cries of surprise.
When they heard the two words' ancient pill ', the expressions of most of the team members changed. Although everyone had already expected the alchemy segment of the alchemy competition, when they heard that they were actually required to refine ancient pills, many of their expressions turned gloomy.
The so-called Ancient Pills were pills refined from ancient herbs.
Not all herbs that were slightly older could be called Ancient Herbs. True Ancient Herbs had to be special Spiritual Herbs that had lived in the Antiquity Age or even the Primordial Age. As the laws of heaven and earth in this era were completely different from the environment of the Antiquity Age, the conflicts between the medicinal properties of Ancient Herbs and the balance between the medicinal properties of Ancient Herbs were completely different from the Spiritual Herbs of today!
It could be said that among all the teams present, other than Gu Haoran's team from the Ancient Academy, the other teams had never come into contact with Ancient Herbs before. They had also never used Ancient Herbs to refine pills.
Therefore, everyone's eyes were completely blank when it came to the conflicts between the medicinal properties of Ancient Herbs.
To them … when refining Ancient Pills, all of their previous alchemy experience was practically useless. They could only rely on their intuition as an alchemist to accurately grasp the medicinal properties of Ancient Herbs. This was undoubtedly a huge test for everyone.
In the central area of the Palace of Ancient Herbs ruins, in a black plaza that emitted a desolate aura, many teams that had advanced were bustling with activity. The atmosphere was very noisy.
All the disciples were excitedly and nervously discussing the contents of the competition this time. Without a doubt, the ancient medicinal pill recipe was a completely unknown territory to more than 99% of the people present. Wanting to refine such a pill recipe was really too difficult, way too difficult.
However, the bald instructor did not care about how noisy the disciples were. His dignified gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
"Alright, next up, everyone can take out the Medicine Tokens that you obtained in the first round of the competition and exchange them for the true Ancient Herbs! I have to remind everyone that the Ancient Herbs that you exchanged your Medicine Tokens for are the only Ancient Herbs that you can possess. They are true super treasures! "
"In the second round of the competition, you will use the Ancient Herbs that you obtained in exchange to refine Ancient Pills … Remember, you only have one chance, and there is only one Ancient Herb. Once you fail, no one will have a second chance! Therefore, when choosing Ancient Herbs and pill formulas, everyone must consider carefully before making a move. "
After a moment of silence, the bald instructor nodded. "Next, please reveal the Medicine Tokens that you obtained."
As soon as the bald instructor finished speaking, rays of dazzling Spirit Light shot into the sky in an instant.
It was as if a dazzling neon glow had appeared in the tranquil ruins square in an instant. Multicolored rays of light rippled in the void, accompanied by a rich medicinal fragrance, causing everyone to feel dazzled.
Among all the Medicine Tokens and Spirit Light, the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly Gu Haoran's team. Gu Haoran and the other two were dressed in green and stood silently. Around them, Ancient Herbs' Crystal Tokens of various colors emitted dazzling lights. At a rough count, there were actually dozens of them!
"Am I seeing things? There really are dozens of Medicine Tokens, a total of 67 of them. How many teams have these people robbed?!"
"They're too strong. They really deserve to be called the Greatest King Team. This kind of strength is really unstoppable!"
