"Did you guys see that? I told you that Bingqian from Leizhou City is still at the bottom. Everyone else is already concocting their ingredients but she's still sitting there. She probably doesn't even know what ingredients to use."
The corners of Liang Nine's mouth also revealed a trace of a smile, "That little brother, I thought that he had something to rely on to dare to bet with us. Now it seems that he was just a little arrogant."
"Hehe, Ninth Brother, there are a total of ten of us. How are we going to spend the 1,200 gold coins later?"
Liang Nine laughed, "That's easy. 100 gold coins per day. I'll treat everyone to drinks at the Confluence Moon Restaurant." The Confluence Moon Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Tiandao City. They even have spirit wine. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in Tiandao City.
"Okay! Brother Nine is so straightforward! "
Some of the people in the audience saw that Liu Bing Qian's group had not made a move for a long time. They had already classified her as the bottom one and began to discuss who the second to last person was.
The first round of the competition was indeed three out of five, but it was also an important round that decided whether or not the participants could continue to participate in the next round of the competition. There was no room for carelessness.
Ye Zifeng retracted his divine light and scanned around for a while. He already had a rough understanding of the alchemist's strength. He turned around and saw that Liu Bingqian was still worrying about the herbs. A kind smile appeared on his face.
"Bingqian, follow my instructions and concoct the ingredients."
Hearing this, Bingqian was startled, "No way. This Yuan Increasing Pill isn't a qi refining stage pill. Do you really know how to concoct ingredients?"
Ye Zifeng smiled, "This isn't the first time I've concocted pills in front of you. Do you not believe in my strength?" In front of normal people, he hid 90% of his strength. In front of Bingqian, he hid 50%. This 50% should be enough to convince Bingqian.
Bingqian giggled, "When it comes to concocting ingredients, I don't know how to concoct them. I'll have to ask you. Tell me, Big Brother Rough Guy. I'll do whatever you say. "
Normally, when she was concocting pills, she would have a book by her side. Therefore, she would do whatever the book said. However, now that it was the competition, she wouldn't be allowed to bring the book with her. Because of this, Bingqian couldn't even use 50% of her abilities. This time, she had Ye Zifeng's help.
"That's good." Ye Zifeng smiled and nodded, "Listen. Three Fire Wind Fruits, two Golden Wood Grass, two Spirit Converging Ginseng, three Fire Dream Leaves and ten drops of Dragon Swallow Spirit Dew. Put them into the cauldron first."
"Alright!" Liu Bing Qian let out a soft "En" sound. Her expression instantly became serious. She quickly selected the medicinal herbs and placed them on a plate beside her. After all, it was as if she had a master guiding her from the side, so her speed was naturally much faster.
Mu Yun Old Devil's gaze swept across the participants. When her gaze landed on Liu Bing Qian, her pupils suddenly shrank.
"Eh? When did this brat's alchemy skills increase by so much? I don't think I've taught her anything recently. Could it be that she's scared of losing face during the competition so she's trying her best to learn? "
Muyun Old Devil noticed that Ye Zifeng seemed to be saying something. However, she thought that Ye Zifeng was chatting with Bingqian so she didn't pay much attention to it.
However, when Qushui City's Yi Hao and Huangtu City's Xu Zhen saw this, they started to panic. Before, they were able to beat Bingqian because she didn't know how to pick the ingredients. When the pill was concocted, the spirit of the ingredients would be greatly reduced. However, the current Bingqian didn't make any mistakes when it came to picking ingredients.
Ye Zifeng didn't move at all and calmly said, "A profound tier cauldron has 32 star positions. A common tier cauldron also has 4 positions. Bingqian, if you want to concoct a Yuan Increasing Pill that can be used by everyone, you need to place the ingredients into the cauldron ….."
Liu Bing Qian was shocked and asked, "Big brother rough guy, where should I place the ingredients?" If Ye Zifeng didn't say this, she would've just poured the ingredients into the cauldron. Why would she care about all the rules?
"Put the Fire Wind Fruit in the north, the Golden Wood Grass in the south, the Spirit Convergence Ginseng in the west, and the Fire Dream Leaf in the east. In addition, add the Dragon Swallow Spirit along the walls of the cauldron, two drops in each direction, and two more drops in the middle …"
Liu Bing Qian's eyes lit up. At the same time, he asked Ye Feng in confusion.
"Big brother rough guy, why are you so familiar with this Yuan Increasing Pill? Could it be that you've concocted it before?"
Ye Zifeng had concocted a lot more pills than Bingqian. This little Yuan Increasing Pill was nothing to him. However, he didn't want to answer Bingqian's question.
"Don't get distracted. If you place the ingredients in the wrong positions, then the effect of the pill will be greatly affected ….."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Bingqian wrinkled her nose and let out an "Oh" sound. She obediently placed the ingredients into the cauldron. Ye Zifeng quietly placed more firewood under the cauldron.
All of the participants were extremely focused and stared at the cauldron in front of them. They didn't care about anything else at all.
However, they didn't know that the people below them were in an uproar.
"This ….. This is!" The elders that Mu Yun Old Devil had invited stared at Liu Bing Qian's group. Their faces first turned pale before turning red.
One of the examiners was shocked, "No way. She's so young. How can she know how to concoct pills? How can she place the ingredients in different positions? Did you guys just say that ….. She's always at the bottom? "
"Bottom ….. This ….." Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their limbs were all numb.
For someone at the bottom to be able to concoct pills in an ancient way, then the level of this competition must be extremely high. However, it was very obvious that this was impossible.
Even some of the laymen could tell that something wasn't right.
Someone came back to his senses and nudged Liang Nine, "Brother Nine, did that Bingqian secretly work hard at home? Why does it feel like she's a completely different person? Do you think we ….. "
Liang Nine furrowed his brows and glared at him, "Don't jinx me! I admit that this Bingqian has improved a bit. But look at that little follower of hers. He can't even condense a common tier flame and is using firewood to concoct pills. I want to see how they are going to stand out! "
"Hold on. Brother Nine, look. That little follower seems to want to condense a common tier flame!"
"What?!" Liang Nine rubbed his eyes and quickly looked towards Ye Zifeng.
He saw that Ye Zifeng was guarding his dantian and condensing his qi into his arms. Then, he slowly condensed his qi into his fingertips. Suddenly, a ball of flame appeared.
Everyone held their breaths as they watched. However, when they saw a ball of flame appear from Ye Zifeng's fingertip, they all sighed. In their eyes, if Ye Zifeng was able to condense a common tier flame, then Bingqian's fate of being at the bottom of the rankings might really change.
However, in the next moment, Ye Zifeng suddenly sat down and guided the flame into the cauldron. With his other hand, he placed a small piece of wood under the cauldron.
Yang Jing was standing outside of the arena. When she saw Ye Zifeng's concoction technique, she immediately remembered what he did when he concocted the Pure Yang Pill.
"Brother Zhen, look at that person. He ….. What is he doing?"
Beside Xu Zhen in Wasteland City, his little follower couldn't help but ask.
Xu Zhen had a cold smile on his face, "Don't be nervous. If I'm not wrong, his flame qi shouldn't be able to soak in the ingredients. That's why he's using firewood to concoct the pill. However, even though he's using two types of flames to concoct the pill, it's very hard to control. From what I can see, the flames in the cauldron will go out of control very quickly. He's basically looking for death! "
He paused for a bit and then told his follower, "Remember. Don't worry about Leizhou City. Qushui City's Yi Hao is our biggest opponent. When you have time, pay attention to what he's doing."
From what Xu Zhen can see, even if Bingqian improved a bit, she wouldn't be able to improve by much. If he wants to beat her, it'll be as easy as flipping his hand.
"Bingqian, when I'm controlling the flames, don't let go of the cauldron. Add some of your own qi into the cauldron."
"Okay!" At this moment, Bingqian was already in the state of doing whatever Ye Zifeng said. This was because up until now, under Ye Zifeng's guidance, every step she did attracted a lot of praise. It was obvious that she had obtained the recognition of many people.
Ye Zifeng saw that the flames under the cauldron were about done. After inserting the last piece of wood into the cauldron, he smiled and looked up.
"Bingqian, I've stabilized the cauldron and the flames are strong enough. From now on, I'll only teach you. I won't help you anymore."
Liu Bing Qian's expression changed slightly. A look of panic flashed across her pretty face. "No, no, no. If you don't make a move, how can I win against them? What on earth are you thinking? "
