It only took Qin Feng half an hour to refine a batch of Qi Strengthening Pills.
The chief apothecaries of the other teams hadn't even finished refining half of the pills!
Since Qin Feng had nothing else to do, he sat on the chair and rested. Ren Xiao Yao danced with joy.
.
.
After concocting the pill, Qin Feng felt that time was passing extremely slowly. This was because the temperature in the room was simply too high. The sweat on Qin Feng's body had just been wiped clean by Ren Xiao Yao, and in the next second, he was drenched in sweat again. Qin Feng was afraid that he would die from dehydration.
Rumble!
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the pills being refined was heard again.
The second person was Uncle Huo from the Herbal Sect!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Not long after, the room was filled with the sound of the pills being refined.
The Poison Sect, Yang Enterprise, Uncle Gu, and the others had finished refining their pills. The other teams also refined their pills for a while and basically, they also finished their pills one after another.
Finally, an hour had passed!
Xiao Jian and Zhang Ye were drenched in sweat. Their pants stained the chair again. Seeing that the time limit was up, Xiao Jian quickly stood up and announced the end of the competition. Zhang Ye immediately ran to open the window and the door.
Instantly! A cool breeze blew, making everyone feel much better!
"Qiao Feng, we'll definitely win the championship this time. As long as you continue to perform as usual in tomorrow's competition, the Saint Medic Hall will win the championship again!"
Ren Xiao Yao was already dancing with joy before the results of this round were verified. She had seen Qin Feng refine the Qi Strengthening Pills, so she was confident that they could win this round again.
After Uncle Gu finished refining the Qi Strengthening Pills, he found a square wooden box and put it away. Ren Xiao Yao didn't check on Uncle Gu's situation. After all, Uncle Gu was a Grade 6 apothecary. Ren Xiao Yao believed that as long as he performed as usual, there would be no problem.
Everyone's pills were already placed in their respective positions. Uncle Gu and Bai Yao walked to the judges' table and stood there. Xiao Jian and Zhāng Yě did not have a deep understanding of pills, so this round was still up to Uncle Gu and Bai Yao to judge the quality of each team's pills.
Both of them would make a judgment, which would then be reviewed by Xiao Jian and Zhāng Yě. If the two of their judgments were not too different, then the final result would be combined. If the two of their judgments were too different, then it would be publicly reviewed by all the alchemists present!
"Next, we will enter the examination stage. Uncle Gu and Bai Yao, please represent the judging committee to examine the quality of the pills!" Xiao Jian opened his mouth. Uncle Gu and Bai Yao had already begun to examine the quality of each team's completed pills.
The quality of a pill was usually judged by five aspects: color, fragrance, taste, size, and medicinal properties!
This was because the 'taste' and 'medicinal effect' could only be felt after eating the pill, and there were 28 teams participating in the competition this time. They couldn't possibly let Uncle Gu and Bai Yao eat all 56 Qi Strengthening Pills at once, right? That would definitely cause their bodies to explode.
Hence, in this Alchemy Ranking Competition, the quality of each team's medicinal pill would be judged from the color, fragrance and size!
The examination process was carried out very quickly. The people from small pharmacies and sects were all gloomy. All of them had used natural fire seeds, so they didn't need to look at the results to know that their ranking would not be too high.
After a round of examination, both Bai Yao and Uncle Gu stood on Saint Medic's side. Now, only Qin Feng and Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills were left to be judged.
All the participating teams had gathered at Saint Medic's side. Qin Feng's pill concocting had shocked everyone. He had used the Myriad Beast Truefire. All the alchemists present were eager to see what kind of pill concocted with the Myriad Beast Truefire would look like.
Would it grow a pair of legs, transform into a pill spirit, and run away?
Even Xiao Jian and Zhāng Yě came over. As Qiao Feng's little brother, Zhāng Yě was once again deeply shocked by his big brother's strength.
Bai Yao walked to the side of the wooden box. This was the box that contained Qin Feng's Qi Strengthening Pills!
Swoosh!
As soon as the box was opened, a rich fragrance of medicine pervaded the air, causing the crowd to exclaim in surprise.
Fifteen brown-colored Qi Strengthening Pills entered everyone's sight. Each and every one of them had a bright luster as if there was spiritual energy flowing on them. The Qi Strengthening Pills were the size of ping pong balls, and they seemed to have some kind of magical power that made people want to swallow them.
The crowd was dumbfounded. Even though Bai Yao and Uncle Gu hadn't started to appraise the quality of the Qi Strengthening Pills, they could tell that this box of Qi Strengthening Pills refined by Qiao Feng was the best of the best.
Bai Yao was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses. He had a conflict with Qin Feng during the conference the night before yesterday. Bai Yao had fallen in love with Hua Yan, but he found out that Hua Yan had been with Qiao Feng for the past few days. Bai Yao was very unhappy with Qin Feng, but he couldn't do anything about it. This brat's alchemy skills were too heaven-defying.
This year's Alchemy Conference was completely Qin Feng's home field. Qin Feng had stolen all the limelight!
"You two can start appraising now," Zhang Ye reminded Bai Yao and Uncle Gu after he regained his senses.
Both of them had a conflict with Qin Feng. Seeing Qin Feng had refined the highest quality Qi Strengthening Pills, Uncle Gu and Bai Yao were furious.
During the appraisal process, both of them would appraise each team's Qi Strengthening Pills. However, when it came to Qin Feng, Uncle Gu and Bai Yao didn't say a word and directly gave their scores in the book.
The score for this competition was from 0 to 100. The Qi Strengthening Pills with poor quality were given around 10 points, the slightly better ones were given around 20 points, and the average ones were given around 30 to 40 points. The mid-grade Qi Strengthening Pills were given more than 50 points, and the high-grade Qi Strengthening Pills were given more than 70 points …
Bai Yao and Uncle Gu looked around, and the highest score was 85. After looking at Qin Feng's Qi Strengthening Pill, the two of them were extremely unwilling, but they both wrote down 95 points in their notebooks.
"Haha! Qiao Feng, you're amazing … Your Qi Strengthening Pills are 95 points! "
Ren Xiao Yao was so excited when she saw the score. She hugged Qin Feng and jumped around.
The onlookers exclaimed when they heard the score. If they remembered correctly, there had never been such a high score in the past few Alchemy Conferences.
"Girl, stop rubbing yourself. You're all sweaty!" Qin Feng pressed Ren Xiao Yao down. This girl's cheongsam was sticking to her body. When she hugged Qin Feng, Qin Feng felt as if she was naked.
This feeling was originally quite good, but the two of them were covered in sweat, which was a very strange feeling.
After Ren Xiao Yao found out about Qin Feng's score, she didn't even care about Uncle Gu's score. In Ren Xiao Yao's eyes, Saint Medic would definitely win this round. She was so happy that she pestered Qin Feng and made a scene. She was as innocent and lively as a little girl who had received a birthday present.
Very quickly, the Qi Strengthening Pill that Gu Bo had concocted was also graded. Just like that, the 28 participating teams had been graded.
Uncle Gu and Bai Yao passed the forms to Zhang Ye and Xiao Jian. Zhang Ye and Xiao Jian began to compare their scores.
After a round of comparison, Uncle Gu and Bai Yao's scores were almost the same. However, when Zhang Ye and Xiao Jian saw Uncle Gu's score, they couldn't help but frown. Zhang Ye wanted to say something, but Xiao Jian beat him to it.
"Everyone, the scores of this round are out. I'll now announce the results of this round!"
Xiao Jian's voice rang out, and the crowd quieted down immediately.
"In this round of the Pill Ranking Competition, there are 8 teams that did not manage to refine the Qi Strengthening Pill. These 8 teams are disqualified from the competition. They are …
In the previous round, five teams were disqualified. In this round, due to Qiao Feng's Myriad Beast Truefire, another eight teams failed to perform well and were disqualified.
Originally, there were 33 teams participating in this Alchemy Conference. Now, only 20 teams were left.
After Xiao Jian announced the disqualified teams, Zhang Ye held a form in his hand. This was a list of the bottom ten teams.
Everyone's gaze fell on Zhang Ye. They were nervous.
Zhang Ye stared at the list for a while. His eyebrows were knitted together, and he looked incredulous. After a long time, he didn't announce the results.
"Brother Zhang Ye, what's wrong?" Xiao Jian looked at Zhang Ye and reminded him.
Zhang Ye regained his senses, but the solemn expression on his face didn't fade away. He even looked at Qin Feng as if he was seeking his opinion.
Qin Feng couldn't understand Zhang Ye, so he nodded at him.
After receiving Brother Qiao Feng's instruction, Zhang Ye began to announce the results.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"The 20th place in this round, Saint Medic, 100 points in total!"
… …
"Saint Medic's total score is 100 points? How is that possible? "
"Didn't they say that the heaven-defying alchemist from Saint Medic got 95 points? Could it be that Uncle Gu only got 5 points? I won't believe it even if you beat me to death! "
"Did you read it wrong? Judge, please take a good look! "
"Qiao Feng, what's going on? Is … is there something wrong with my ears? I heard that person say that we only got 100 points! "
The reason why Zhāng Yě hesitated for a long time and did not announce the results was because the Saint Medic's score was unbelievable to him.
After the score was announced, everyone was dumbfounded!
Ren Xiao Yao grabbed Qin Feng's arm nervously. She was so anxious that she almost cried. Qin Feng didn't understand the situation either. Why did they only get 100 points?
"Judge Zhang Ye, did you read it wrong? Is it true that Saint Medic only got 100 points? "Qin Feng quickly calmed down and asked Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye trembled in fear. He had secretly asked Qiao Feng for his opinion because he was afraid that Big Brother Qiao would be angry. Now it seemed that Big Brother Qiao was really angry!
"Big Brother Qiao … Brother Qiao Feng, I … I read it according to the results. I didn't do it!" Zhang Ye was so scared that he hurriedly explained.
Qin Feng had already walked over with Ren Xiao Yao. He took the table from Zhāng Yě's hands and looked at it. The table listed the last ten teams, and at the bottom of the table was Saint Medic Hall's name. The total score was indeed 100 points.
Qin Feng's Qi Strengthening Pill was 95 points, while Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pill was only 5 points!
"Who scored Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pill? Why did he only get 5 points? " Ren Xiao Yao stood on her tiptoes and looked at the table. When she saw Uncle Gu's score, she was so angry that her hair stood on end!
Uncle Gu didn't seem surprised at all when he heard that he only got 5 points. He stood quietly at the side and didn't say anything.
Bai Yao walked up and said, "Uncle Gu and I scored the score together. I gave 6 points, and Uncle Gu gave 4 points. The average score is 5 points …"
Bai Yao explained the situation. Qin Feng and Ren Xiao Yao looked at the score sheet. It was exactly as Bai Yao said.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze!
Everyone looked at Uncle Gu in bewilderment. He was a famous level 6 alchemist in the world of alchemy. How could he only get 5 points? Wasn't his level a little too low?
"I … I don't believe it. Uncle Gu is a level 6 alchemist. How could he only get 5 points for refining a level 4 Qi Strengthening Pill? I want to redo the score … "
Ren Xiao Yao was anxious. She had to be the champion of the Medicinal Pill Conference. Everything was going smoothly, and Ren Xiao Yao was happy and sweet. Who would have thought that she would suddenly stumble in front of Uncle Gu!
