On Si Jian's side, Lu An walked forward step by step until he reached the center. Compared to Lu An's calmness and Si Jian's confidence, the other two families were in a dilemma.
They had guessed the content of today's competition, but they did not expect it to be an alchemy competition. The betrothal gifts they had prepared included pills refined by humans, but how could there be a pharmacist among them? The Dripping Moon Clan did not have a good relationship with humans, so how could they allow a human to be part of their marriage proposal team?
What should they do?
The two families looked at each other, but in the end, they could not choose one person from each side. Many races coveted the alchemy skills of humans, and the Dripping Moon Clan had tried to cultivate it before, but their skills were too poor. They could only give it a shot. If the human's alchemy skills were mediocre as well, they still had a chance.
Hoping for a miracle, the three of them stood in the center. At this moment, Si Mian spoke again, "The pill to be refined this time is the Form Transformation Pill!"
Form Transformation Pill?!
As soon as these words came out, the three families all sucked in a breath of cold air! Si Jian was the same. The Form Transformation Pill was a grade seven pill among humans, and not many people could refine it. Could Lu An do it?
Si Jian was anxious, but the other two families were in despair. When they heard the words' Form Transformation Pill ', they knew they had no chance at all.
Now, they had to see if this kid could refine the Form Transformation Pill. If he could not refine it, no one would succeed. At most, it would be a draw.
Everyone's attention was focused on Lu An. One family prayed for success, while the other two prayed for failure. However, Lu An would not make any mistakes in refining the Form Transformation Pill, unless he did not want to refine it.
After receiving the materials, Lu An quietly refined the pill while the other two contestants could only stare blankly at him. Lu An's technique could no longer be described as skillful. From beginning to end, he was as smooth as flowing water, as if he was doing something very ordinary. There was no pause at all.
Lu An only took half an hour to refine the Form Transformation Pill. When Lu An took out the pills from the cauldron, the entire venue fell silent.
Lu An walked forward and stopped in front of the table where Si Xing, Si Mian, and Si Yan were sitting. He placed the pills on the table, then turned around and left without saying a word.
Si Mian immediately picked up the Form Transformation Pill and examined it carefully. Although she wasn't an apothecary, she had seen many Form Transformation Pills and had a certain level of discernment. There was no doubt that the Form Transformation Pill that Lu An took out was of the highest quality. This gave Si Mian a deeper understanding of Lu An.
A Form Transformation Pill was considered expensive in the Outré Prefecture, but Lu An had only used an hour to successfully refine it. The human's method of earning money was a little too fast.
Si Mian looked at the other two people in the middle of the arena who were in a daze. Without further ado, he stood up and announced to everyone, "Si Qing has won the first round alone. The other two clans have failed!"
Upon hearing Si Mian's announcement, although the other two clans were depressed, they had nothing to say. The people that they had sent out would only embarrass themselves if they continued to stand there. It was better for them to hurry back and prepare for the next round.
Refining pills was a human's specialty. Apart from that, they also had weapon refinement. Could this kid know how to refine weapons as well?
They were right. Lu An did not know how to refine weapons. In fact, ever since Lu An could control the temperature of his flames, he could already refine weapons. However, the most important thing for him was to improve his abilities. He and the people around him did not lack weapons, so there was no need for him to learn.
After the two of them left the arena, Si Mian announced again, "The second round, archery!"
Archery?!
The other two clans were stunned again. It was obvious that they were also surprised by the contents of the competition. However, they did not panic too much because archery was considered a popular form of entertainment for the current Flowing Moon Clan.
If they were to compete in archery, they felt that they had a great chance!
The format of the competition was very simple. Each side would send out a person to shoot at the same target. Each person would shoot ten arrows to determine the winner.
Soon, the three clans sent their people into the arena. Si Jian's side naturally sent out Lu An. When the people from the other two clans saw this human enter the arena again, their eyes could not help but tremble. They felt a faint sense of uneasiness and were very nervous.
Si Jian had obviously come prepared. This human was very likely to be very proficient in archery, so they had to be on guard.
Si Xing's subordinate entered the arena and gave each of them the same bow and arrow. He then said to the three of them, "Once the arrow is released, you are not allowed to use any other forces to interfere. Otherwise, you will be disqualified and will be dealt with as a failure."
After hearing the other party's warning, the three of them nodded. However, the three of them were a little curious. Although they had bows and arrows, there were no targets in the arena.
At this moment, the subordinate spoke again. He raised his hand and pointed at the three tall mountains around the valley. He said, "There is an archery target on each of the three mountain peaks. The distance from here is the same. Each person can only shoot one target. After the first arrow is released, the selection is considered complete. No changes are allowed."
As he spoke, the subordinate looked at the three of them and asked, "Who wants to go first?"
"…"
The three of them were a little stunned. Even Lu An was a little confused. They did not answer. Instead, they looked at the three mountain peaks around them. The people from the other three clans were the same. Their strength was enough to see the archery targets on the mountain peaks. They saw that the archery targets were only three feet in diameter, but the mountain peaks were at least 1,500 feet away from here. It was even close to 2,000 feet away.
According to the rules of the matchmaking event, the strength of all the participants could not exceed the level of the three young clan leaders. In other words, they were equivalent to Level Seven Celestial Masters. However, such a distance was already beyond the effective attack range of a Level Seven Celestial Master. Although they could hit the targets so far away, they could no longer control their accuracy.
This … Wasn't this a little too much?
The three of them lowered their heads and looked at the bow on the table. They were very familiar with this bow. It was a bow specially made by the Flowing Moon Clan. Lu An had been practicing with this bow for the past few days. This bow was different from ordinary bows. It could be infused with one's own strength, and it would definitely not be broken. Using this bow could indeed shoot to the top of the mountain, but it would be too difficult to hit the target.
The three of them were silent. Seeing that the three of them did not answer, the subordinate frowned and asked again, "Who wants to go first?"
The three of them still did not answer. One had to know that the person who shot first would definitely be at a disadvantage. The person behind could observe the angle and strength of the person in front of them to gain experience. Therefore, everyone wanted to be last, even Lu An. This was related to whether or not he could rope the Flowing Moon Clan into the Life and Death Union. He had to be careful.
"Since the three of you are not speaking, we will draw lots to decide." The subordinate seemed to be prepared for such a situation. With a flash of light, a lot pot appeared in front of them. There were three lots in it. He said, "The red lot is first, the yellow lot is second, and the green lot is last."
The three of them nodded. They could not perceive the situation in the lot pot. Even if they could, they could not distinguish the colors. The three of them drew lots and did not delay.
When the other two clans saw the results, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two clans were not the first to shoot.
The red lot appeared in Lu An's hand.
Lu An was startled. He did not think that he would be the first. However, he did not have any emotional fluctuations. Since he had already drawn the lot, there was nothing to say. He could only pick up the bow and arrow on the table and look around at the three targets on the mountain top.
Even at a distance of more than 1,500 zhang, with Lu An's strength, it was impossible for his arrow to be affected by the wind. The same went for other factors in the air as well. The only thing that could be affected was none other than Lu An himself.
Shooting an arrow at a distance of 1500 feet, how to aim at the target and control the direction of the arrow at the moment of release was the most important thing. The slightest deviation in such a distance would cause a huge change on the mountain top.
Lu An did not have much confidence in his heart. However, he still raised the bow and put the arrow on the string. He pulled the bow into a half-moon shape.
The power of his whole body exploded. He focused on the bowstring and arrow. Lu An did not dare to inject the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame and Deep Ice. Otherwise, the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame would burn the arrow. The Deep Ice would make the arrow extremely brittle. As for Lu An's immortal energy, it would dissipate once it was out of control. The rules stated that once an arrow was shot out, it could no longer be controlled by any power. Thus, Lu An could only infuse two types of power into it.
Star Diffraction Power and Death Power.
Lu An pondered for a moment. Instantly, the entire bowstring and arrow emitted an aura of death. Everything turned red!
