The crowd of more than 100,000 people burst into cheers. Even the Heavenly Masters flying in the sky could not help but cheer loudly. Level Eight pharmacists would benefit greatly if they could befriend any of them.
However, those who were truly knowledgeable were already frowning. Wasn't it too little to only give four sets of ingredients for an eighth-grade pill and seven days of observation?
Level Eight pills were not as simple as seventh-grade pills. Just studying them would take a long time. The difficulty of understanding every eighth-grade pill recipe was almost the same as understanding eighth-grade heavenly techniques. The top eighth-grade pill recipes were even more difficult than eighth-grade heavenly techniques, and this wasn't even taking into account the time needed to refine them. Otherwise, why would he be at such a low level with an eighth-grade apothecary, and why would eighth-grade medicinal pills be so priceless?
Lu An bent down and took out the ring from the alchemy table. He immediately found a recipe and placed it in his hand.
"Life-Saving Yang Reversal Pill."
Lu An's eyes turned cold. He didn't expect to refine an eighth-grade healing pill.
Lu An didn't waste any time. He quickly flipped open the recipe and read it. The cheers of the crowd lasted for a long time, but none of the forty-seven people present were affected. Everyone looked at the recipe with a serious expression. They read every word carefully, not letting themselves miss anything.
Lu An frowned. He didn't frown because the recipe was difficult or too tricky. On the contrary, it was because he had heard of this pill before.
He had read many books about pills recently. Among them, there were books that recorded the types of eighth-grade pills. Among the eighth-grade medicinal pills, there were a total of three types of medicinal pills that could be used for treatment. The Yang Reversal Pill was one of the rarest and also the most difficult to concoct. However, no matter how rare and difficult it was, it was still recorded in the records. It was not the kind of medicinal pill that could not even be found in the pill manual.
As a result, some of the forty-seven eighth-grade Heavenly Masters present must have tried the Life-Saving Yang Reversal Pill before. Lu An immediately looked around. Sure enough, he saw a smile on someone's face. They didn't even look at the recipe before starting to prepare the ingredients.
Someone from the Heavenly Medicine Empire started to refine the pill. However, this person's expression was serious. There was a hint of joy on his face. It was obvious that he had just found out about the recipe. However, in the distance, Lu An could clearly see that half of the rank-8 pharmacists in the Black Mountain Empire had begun to move. Moreover, they had smiles on their faces, as if they had long been confident and knew that this pill would be tested.
Lu An's brows furrowed. His expression became even more serious. It would be hard for him to believe that there wasn't a problem.
Lu An wasn't the only one who saw this. All the smarter people present had noticed this. The Black Mountain Empire's actions were too fast. They didn't even look at the pill recipe. They only took it out symbolically, glanced at the cover, and put it aside to prepare the materials to start refining.
Although the audience did not know what he was refining, this scene was a little too strange.
.............. and Wang Yan............... Princess Yan Yi was somewhat angry and said, "This is clearly cheating!"
Wang Yan didn't say anything. Although that was what she said, there was still evidence to prove it. Without evidence, there was no use.
At this moment, the referee on the high platform opened his mouth once again, shouting out loudly, "The pill for the third round is – Reverse Yang Pill!"
The moment he said this, the audience gasped. Of course, most people had never even heard of this name. Only a few people had heard of it.
"Yang Reversal Pill? He sure is cautious, "Liu Yi sneered in the noisy spectator stands.
"What do you mean?" Liu Lan asked.
"The Life-Reversing Yang Pill is a pill that hovers between common and uncommon. Generally speaking, Level 8 pharmacists would master the best and most common Level 8 healing pills for cultivation. They would not choose the Life-Reversing Yang Pill, but nothing is absolute." Liu Yi looked at the Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists and said coldly, "This way, even if these people know how to concoct pills, they can't say anything. They can say that they concocted the pills themselves, or that they concocted the pills together. Finding evidence is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
Liu Lan's heart tightened. She looked at the Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists, and then looked at Lu An with a worried expression. The other women were the same, but they didn't want Lu An to win. They just wanted Lu An to be safe.
In reality, it was just as everyone thought. The Montenegrin Empire had indeed cheated.
The Montenegrin Empire was a place that didn't have many rules. To be able to find such a situation, it naturally had something to do with the eight sects. The eight sects were all crazy people who didn't follow the rules. No one would have thought that they would be able to steal the questions and secretly tell the Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists.
In the field, the pharmacists from the other empires all frowned when they saw this. It wasn't easy for them to lose their temper, but because of this, they were at a huge disadvantage. Moreover, it was extremely difficult for them to recover.
It would take them at least eight hours just to comprehend the alchemy manual. If they were to include the simulation of alchemy in their sea of consciousness, they would need at least another sixteen hours, which meant that exactly one day had passed. In other words, the Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists had a one-day lead.
More importantly, these Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists definitely had successful experiences. It was very likely that they would be able to concoct the pills in one try. They were far from being able to compare. The Montenegrin Empire's people were familiar with all the difficulties involved. Moreover, the Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists were determined not to let anyone see them. They were very secretive and careful.
Lu An only glanced at the Montenegrin Empire's people before focusing on his pill recipe. At this time, it would be even more troublesome to think about something crooked. It was better to do everything step by step. This way, even if he lost in the end, he wouldn't have any regrets.
The Montenegrin Empire's rapid concoction was quickly discovered by everyone, causing a commotion and discussion in the field. The mentality of the people in the other four rows was more or less affected. There were even some bad-tempered eighth level pharmacists who began to curse at the Montenegrin Empire's people.
And this pharmacist was from the Montenegrin Empire's side, the Heavenly Dragon Empire's people. This pharmacist was indeed a straightforward person. He directly cursed at the Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists. Moreover, he cursed them in all sorts of unpleasant ways, from their ancestors to their descendants. The Montenegrin Empire's pharmacists' faces alternated between red and white. They were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
However, this cursing made the people from the other empires laugh. It could be considered as helping them vent their anger. However, this guy's ending was not good. He disrupted the order without any evidence. Moreover, persuasion was useless. In the end, he was forcefully kicked out by the referee and lost the right to continue the competition.
After a short interlude, the remaining 46 pharmacists in the field began to concentrate on concocting pills. Everyone else was still studying the pill recipe. Only one person from the Medicine God Empire and six people from the Montenegrin Empire were concocting pills.
Lu An read the pill recipe at his own speed. Not only did he have to memorize it quickly, but he also had to understand the meaning of every word. He had to make sure that after reading it once, he could basically understand it. He couldn't read it repeatedly. Otherwise, just reading such a thick book would waste a lot of his time. In fact, most pharmacists did this, but Lu An's speed was much slower than the others.
The reason was simple. Lu An's strength was not enough, so his reading speed was not as fast as a level eight heavenly master. Although his sea of knowledge and divine sense were very strong, far surpassing those of the same level, especially after learning the Yan Xing Clan's abilities, he could even compete with a level eight heavenly master. However, his reading speed was not fast at all.
One hour …
Two hours …
Lu An tried his best to read as fast as possible. At this moment, he frowned and thought about the deeper meaning of the words. Suddenly, he realized something from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and looked to the left.
When he looked, he happened to meet the eyes of the beautiful woman on the left.
Was she looking at him?
Lu An was stunned. He did not know why she was looking at him at such a tense moment. However, he immediately frowned. This was because he saw the pill recipe in the woman's hand.
The pill recipe that she had not read was about the same thickness as him. In other words, this woman … was also a level seven heavenly master?!
After realizing this, Lu An's body shook. His eyes became deeper as he looked at the woman again.
When the two of them looked at each other, they both saw the light of interest in each other.
