After so much time had passed, the remaining pill refiners were basically pill refiners who didn't know much about spiritual medicine. If they knew a lot about spiritual medicine, they would've already finished identifying these spiritual medicine. Now, they were hesitant to hand over their jade slips because they were checking them over and over again, striving to not make any mistakes on the pills they were confident in.
Other than those pill refiners who didn't hand over their jade slips, there were also some pill refiners who left after identifying spiritual medicine. This was because in every Alchemy Conference, the spiritual medicine to be identified was different. Although it was different, there was something in common, and that was the spiritual medicine that needed to be identified was definitely not common. Because of this, many pill refiners who had decent alchemy skills would often leave in the first round.
A pill refiner didn't need to understand too many spiritual medicine's characteristics. As long as their soul remembrance was fine, their control of the fire, and the alchemy steps were fine, it wouldn't be a problem to concoct a pill. However, a pill refiner with high alchemy skills would definitely understand the characteristics of various spiritual medicine very well, because only then could they concoct higher level pills.
"The first round of competition has ended. Pill refiners who have made it to the finals will rest for an hour, then the second round will begin. The rest of the pill refiners, please leave." At this time, the top three hundred pill refiners in the first round of the Alchemy Conference had been ranked. On one side of the Alchemy Plaza, there were three enormous stone pillars. On the first stone pillar, there were many names displayed in an array.
Among them, first place was naturally Tang Ao. Behind Tang Ao's name was the number 81, indicating that Tang Ao had identified 81 spiritual medicines in this round. Behind Tang Ao was Lin Fan. Lin Fan had identified a total of seventy-nine herbs, one more than Wang Kun who was ranked third. After Wang Kun was the girl called Ning Huanhuan. She had identified a total of 71 medicinal herbs.
Behind her, there were nearly a hundred pill refiners who had identified 71 spiritual medicines. However, they were ranked according to the time they used. Tang Ao took a look. In this Alchemy Conference, one had to be able to identify at least sixty-eight types of Spirit Herbs in order to be on the list. This was because at the end of the first stone pillar, there were about thirty alchemists who had all identified sixty-eight types of Spirit Herbs.
Tang Ao felt that after this, there would definitely be many other alchemists who had identified so many spiritual medicines. However, because they had taken too long, they had already been eliminated in the first round of the test. After the list came out, everyone was discussing it. Originally, Wang Kun had been regarded by everyone as the top ranker of this year's Alchemy Conference's Three Lists. But now, in just the first round, Wang Kun was only ranked third. This caused many of Wang Kun's supporters to feel somewhat disappointed.
When Tang Ao saw this list, some alchemists also came over to congratulate Tang Ao. Obviously, they wanted to befriend him. Tang Ao did not reject any of these alchemists. He simply exchanged a few words with them. There were people who cheered, and naturally, there were people who belittled him. Just as Tang Ao was about to return to the high platform of the Alchemy Conference, Wang Kun came over to Tang Ao's side.
Wang Kun did not look at Tang Ao. Instead, he said to himself, "For an alchemist, an understanding of Spirit Herbs is important. However, what kind of Spirit Herbs one is able to refine is a direct display of an alchemist's ability. Unfortunately, the next two rounds are about refining Spirit Herbs. They are not small tricks like identifying Spirit Herbs. "Wang Kun's voice was not soft. The alchemists around Tang Ao could understand him.
After hearing Wang Kun's words, everyone understood that Wang Kun hated Tang Ao for stealing his limelight in the first round. He was prepared to teach Tang Ao a lesson in the second and third rounds. However, after Wang Kun finished speaking, Tang Ao only yawned nonchalantly. Then, he continued walking towards the high platform.
