"Am I dreaming?"
Attendant Jin's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "No, it must be because his luck is good! He drew a mutated seed! "
Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, he couldn't change the result in front of him.
After a long period of shock, Third Elder also announced. "Now, I announce that Qin Yi is the winner of the first round of the competition."
This was a result that no one expected. It almost overturned their understanding of alchemy!
However, after hearing this result, as the winner, Qin Yi's face didn't show any emotion. Even Yun Die 'er and Bai Zifeng, who were standing behind him, had calm expressions. It was as if this result was within their expectations.
"Qin Yi."
At this time, Third Elder looked at Qin Yi and asked, "I still don't understand. How did you do it? Can you explain it to me? "
Qin Yi cupped his hands and said, "Actually, what Qin Mo did was very simple. The seed just now was the seed of the Scarlet Cloud Fruit. Although the Scarlet Cloud Fruit is a fire attribute spirit herb, it likes to grow in a warm and humid environment. On the contrary, it doesn't need the density of the spirit energy in the spirit soil. In fact, if the spirit energy is too dense, it will inhibit its growth. "
When everyone else heard this, they felt like they were in a fog and didn't fully understand.
However, after Third Elder heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "So you're saying that the reason you poked holes around the medicine pot and poured water in was to dilute the spirit energy in the spirit soil and increase the soil's moisture?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Also, I discovered that the quality of the seed that was given to me was too poor. It couldn't withstand such a vast amount of spirit energy in the soil. Once it is in the soil, if it isn't diluted, the seed will explode from the spirit energy. "
"I see that you only observed the spirit energy for a short period of time. Could it be that you only needed a quick glance to see the clues?"
Third Elder's eyebrows furrowed slightly and his expression was slightly shocked.
Qin Yi smiled and said, "It's not just a quick glance. I've been observing you since you were brought here."
The Third Elder continued, "However, when it was served, there were two seeds. How did you know that the seed you were observing was your seed?"
Qin Yi shrugged and said, "Of course I don't know, so I've seen both seeds. The quality of the seed in Deacon Jin's hand is much better than mine. Other than the thicker skin and the slower germination, there shouldn't be much of a problem. "
Qin Yi's reply instantly made Deacon Jin's body tremble.
"It took me so long to come to this conclusion, but he already knew about it?"
Deacon Jin could not imagine just how deep the foundation of this fellow before him was for him to be able to move so quickly.
Apart from Deacon Jin, everyone else's opinion of Qin Yi had completely changed.
Without a doubt, just based on this move, Qin Yi was already enough to prove that he was indeed a capable alchemist.
His alchemy attainments even made the Third Elder, who had the highest attainments among everyone present, feel somewhat ashamed of his inferiority.
At this time, the Third Elder stroked his beard and smiled. He nodded and said, "Qin Yi, this old man already understands your alchemy ability. Deacon Jin, after this first round, I believe that you should also know that there's no need to continue the following rounds anymore. "
However, Deacon Jin directly stood up and said, "Third Elder, this subordinate is unconvinced! This brat's ability to nurture spirit medicines is indeed formidable, but it's not enough to prove that his alchemy skills definitely surpass mine! If we don't determine the pros and cons, this subordinate won't be able to swallow this grievance. "
Hearing these words, Qin Yi shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, "This guy is so obstinate and self-opinionated. How on earth did he become a deacon's position? Third Elder's words earlier were clearly hinting at him to avoid losing too much face. But he's great. Given a way out, he doesn't want to come down? "
As expected, after hearing this answer, the Third Elder's face immediately darkened. After looking at Deacon Jin for a moment, he said in a cold voice, "Deacon Jin, the other party is merely a youth. You've already lost this round thoroughly. Even if you win the next round by a fluke, what can it prove? If you lose, do you think that you can still have the face to continue mingling in the Verdant Pill Tower? "
Deacon Jin's expression flickered. Hearing these words, he finally reacted as well. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only stand up, clasp his fists towards Qin Yi, and say indifferently, "Little You's alchemy attainments surpass others. This Jin admits defeat."
Finishing, he straightaway stood up, bid farewell to the various elders, and directly left this place.
Looking at his departing back view, the Third Elder sighed helplessly. Following that, he looked at Qin Yi and a hint of a smile hung on his face. "Little You is indeed formidable. The saying that heroes come from youngsters is indeed true. I believe that everyone here has already seen your ability. As for your position … "
Before he finished speaking, another old man suddenly walked out from behind him and whispered a few words into his ear.
After hearing this, the Third Elder's expression changed instantly. He deliberately suppressed his voice to confirm with the other party. However, perhaps because he was too shocked, his words were still clearly heard by Qin Yi. "Are you sure that this is the Tower Head's intention?"
The other old man nodded and said, "Just do as the Tower Master says."
Finishing, he directly turned around and left this place.
After pondering for a moment, the Third Elder finally lifted his head and said to Qin Yi, "This old man has already decided on Little You's position. Although your alchemy ability is not bad, your qualifications in the Verdant Pill Tower are still shallow. Although this old man has the intention to promote you, this old man does not dare to overstep the rules. I can only give you the highest position within the scope of my authority. From now on, you are my Verdant Pill Tower's first-grade alchemist. As for your two friends, they will stay in my Verdant Pill Tower as your assistant. "
Hearing these words, those alchemists present who had witnessed Qin Yi's breathtaking performance previously were all rather surprised.
Although the Verdant Pill Tower had rules, it had always been based on ability as the standard.
With Qin Yi's alchemy ability, his position in the Verdant Pill Tower was at least on par with people like Attendant Jin.
Although a first-grade alchemist was the pinnacle among alchemists, it ultimately belonged to the bottom rung. Treating such a prodigious talent like this, was he not afraid that a rift would arise in the youth's heart?
