Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the three hour time limit was up. However, out of the 16 alchemists, seven or eight still hadn't finished.
Looking at them, Lu You stood up with a regretful expression. He sighed and said, "Everyone, time is up. Alchemists who have not finished, please stop!"
"No! No, I … I'm still … "At this time, the alchemists who hadn't finished their alchemy were filled with despair when they heard that the competition was over.
They had high hopes for the Alchemy Guild's conditions. It could be said that if they could be nurtured by the Alchemy Guild, they would be willing to give up their lives.
But now, after Lu You's words, everyone felt as if they had hit rock bottom. All the bones in their bodies were broken, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Ah! I'm sorry. "Looking at the six or seven alchemists, Lu You's face revealed an apologetic expression. He didn't want to do this, but the rules of the competition were like this, and he couldn't change them.
"Those who have been eliminated, hurry up and leave!" After saying that, Lu You nodded to the disciples who were maintaining order at the side, indicating that they should be prepared. This was because there had been cases in the past where people had retorted at the end of the competition because they had lost. Therefore, Lu You had to be prepared for this phenomenon in advance.
But what surprised him was that the six or seven alchemists didn't cause any trouble this year. Instead, they quietly left with looks of despair, disappointment, and dispiritedness.
After all, they were all in the upper echelons of their respective Sects, and were respected by tens of thousands of people. They wouldn't do what Lu You wanted them to do.
In this regard, Lu You heaved a sigh of relief and gestured for the guards who had already stepped forward to retreat.
The six or seven alchemists had all left. Looking at their dispirited backs, Lu You sighed in his heart. However, he quickly recovered. After all, he had seen this kind of scene many times.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at the nine bottles of pills in front of him. His face was full of smiles as he scanned the crowd and said, "Everyone, the first round of the Alchemy Conference has ended. The nine bottles of pills in front of you are the winners of this round. Of course, there are high quality pills and low quality pills. Next, I will not be able to choose the top six. As for the owners of the remaining three bottles of pills, they will be eliminated."
After speaking, he didn't wait for the others to reply and began to inspect the bottles.
Picking up a bottle of pills, Lu You opened the lid and looked inside. There was a blood-red pill lying quietly in the bottle. The smell of blood came out of the bottle. Although the smell was very faint, Lu You could still smell it later.
"Blood Demon Pill, it's such a pill!" At this moment, Lu You's face was filled with shock. He knew about the Blood Demon Pill. Although it wasn't considered a forbidden pill, no one in the God World would concoct it, let alone use it.
The Blood Demon Pill was made from human blood as a catalyst. Then, it was made from all kinds of evil herbs. It was combined with a unique alchemy technique. Although this kind of pill was a good thing a long time ago, it was also fatal. It was something that could destroy a cultivator's future.
After consuming the Blood Demon Pill, it could double one's original cultivation base and increase one's strength. It was refined for killing. However, there was a fatal side effect of consuming the Blood Demon Pill. Once the pill lost its effect, the user's essence blood would be completely exhausted. In the end, the user would die from the lack of essence blood.
Of course, there were side effects. If the person didn't die, they would have to pay a huge price to save their life. Not to mention all kinds of precious Spiritual Herbs, the most important thing was that even if the person passed, their Spiritual Root, meridians, and Dantian would be completely destroyed. Even if they wanted to be rebuilt, it would be impossible.
The moment he saw the legendary Demonic Blood Pill, Lu You felt goosebumps all over his body. A sense of dread filled his heart.
He wasn't the only one. The moment the Blood Demon Pill was spoken, everyone's face changed. Their eyes widened like the wind, and they were filled with fear and disgust.
This kind of thing, even if it was given to them, probably no one would want to get it. This kind of thing was harmful to both others and themselves. Therefore, they naturally avoided it as far as possible.
"What's wrong? The Alchemy Conference doesn't seem to have this rule. Is it not allowed to refine the Blood Demon Pill?" At this moment, a young man with a sinister aura swept his cold gaze across the crowd. Then, his gaze fell on Lu You and he asked.
"Uh … this …!" Lu You choked on his words. To be honest, there was no such rule. However, Lu You really didn't want to let him pass, but …
In the end, out of helplessness, Lu You could only grit his teeth and stomp his foot. He said, "Fine, there is no such rule. However, you have to know that there are still six alchemists who have yet to see their pills. If your pill isn't as good as theirs, then …"
"Fine, I'll wait. I hope President Lu You of the Alchemy Guild is a fair and just person!" Without waiting for Lu You to finish, the young man interrupted him. Then, he retreated to a corner and leisurely minded his own business.
"Hmph …"
No one dared to compliment the young man's attitude. At the same time, because he had concocted the Demonic Blood Pill, everyone present had the urge to kill the person in front of them.
However, when everyone wanted to kill the young man to prevent future trouble, Lin Ray, who was sitting in the corner, didn't have the slightest intention to do so.
At this moment, he felt that the young man had the same personality as Sha Tian, who he had taken in in the Profound Sky Continent. He was a murderous person, but he was a wicked person.
"Interesting!" Lin Ray was very interested in the young man. He knew about the Blood Demon Pill. It was very troublesome to refine this kind of pill. Perhaps even Chu Ci, who was already a Supreme Emperor Alchemist, might not be able to refine it.
In order to refine the Blood Demon Pill, the first prerequisite was to have a firm Dao Heart. Otherwise, the Blood Demon Pill would backfire and die halfway through the refinement process.
The second requirement was cultivation. If one didn't have a strong cultivation as a foundation, then everything would be nonsense.
Therefore, Lin Ray was sure that Chu Ci didn't have the ability to refine the Blood Demon Pill. It was undeniable that this young man was a genius.
Of course, if the crowd knew what Lin Ray was thinking, they would definitely go crazy. After all, this was something that they would never think of.
At this moment, Lu You didn't linger on this matter for long. He then looked at the second person's pill. The second person had refined the Ethereal Pill. Similarly, it was a pill with an Elixir Vein. At this moment, Lu You had the urge to cry.
"Damn, are there so many alchemists who can refine Elixir Veins now?" Although Lu You muttered in his heart, he still had a smile on his face and looked very amiable.
Then, it was the third person's pill. Looking at the crowd, Lu You picked up the pill bottle and opened the lid. Instantly, a nauseating smell rushed out of the pill bottle and spread in all directions.
"F * ck …"
"What's going on? Are you trying to kill me? "
"F * ck, are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me? Do you believe that I won't kill you? "
The nauseating smell filled the entire hall of the Alchemy Guild. Immediately, everyone frowned and covered their mouths and noses. Their faces were filled with anger as they cursed.
Even Linley was no exception. He hadn't imagined that the smell of this pill would be so strong. But what was different from other people was that when he asked about the smell, Linley was startled, and then a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, this Alchemy Conference is really interesting. This Stink Pill has almost reached the threshold of four Elixir Veins. I really didn't expect this!" Lin Ray muttered in his heart.
That's right, the Stink Pill. This was the alchemist whose furnace had exploded. However, what surprised Lin Ray was that not only did he refine the pill, but he also refined the pill so well.
Thinking of this, Lin Ray transmitted his voice to Chu Ci behind him. "When you refine the pill later, use it. The next battle won't be so easy!"
"Uh … What do you mean, Young Master?" Hearing the sudden words, Chu Ci was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly recovered and asked.
"Sigh!"
Lin Ray was also helpless towards Chu Ci's point. However, he had no choice but to explain in the end. "There are a few extraordinary people in this group. The pills they refined aren't much worse than yours. Therefore, I want you to suppress them with a peerless appearance. I want you to win first place. Do you understand?"
"Uh … Oh!" Chu Ci couldn't disobey Lin Ray's orders. Moreover, his wish was to win first place in this Alchemy Conference. This was also the condition he promised his master.
At this moment, everyone was sucked in. They stared resentfully at the little fatty who refined the Stink Pill. They didn't expect this little fatty to be so disgusting.
However, to the crowd's surprise, while everyone was sucked into the suction force, Lu You's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were wide open. An expression of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
"Three … Three Marks! Three Pill Marks, this … this … "While everyone was puzzled and focused their attention on Lu You, a voice came out from his mouth.
"Boom …"
His words were like a bolt from the blue, heavily bombarding everyone's hearts. Apart from shock, everyone was shocked. They couldn't say anything. After all, according to the number of people, there were already four people who had pills.
Normally, people who could refine pills with Pill Marks would have been poached by the major forces. But now, so many of them had appeared. These three people made Lu You even more jealous.
After all, even he only had two Pill Marks. He could only refine pills occasionally. Therefore, jealousy and excitement flashed across his face.
The matter passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed. In this short period of time, the results of the seven pill refiners were all seen. During this process, Lu You was shocked again and again. At the same time, he was also very surprised.
After placing the last bottle of pills on the table, Lu You stood up and looked at Lin Ray who was sitting in the corner. Then, he announced.
"Everyone, this round can only accommodate six people. So, I'm sorry!" Then, Lu You sighed and pointed at the young man who refined the Blood Demon Pill and the two other pill refiners. His face was full of regret.
"Although these three pills are good, the quality of their pills is not as good as the other pill refiners. Compared to the other pill refiners, it's like heaven and earth. They can't be compared."
"I hope you can work harder in the future."
"What? My … my pill is not good? "At this moment, the young man who refined the Blood Demon Pill stood up and questioned Lu You.
As for the other two eliminated pill refiners, they didn't ask for justice like the young man. Instead, they left obediently.
Seeing how agitated the young man was, Lu You didn't waste any time and directly placed the pills of the other pill refiners on the table. Suddenly, rays of light swept across the table.
As for the young man in front of him, the moment he saw the pills on the table, his expression changed and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
"How is it?" Looking at the young man's expression, Lu You smiled and said, "The rest of the pill refiners here are all pill refiners with Pill Veins. Tell me, what can I do? I can't be biased. "
After saying that, Lu You gestured for the young man to leave.
At this moment, the young man had lost his mind. After all, the scene just now had shocked him.
All of them had Pill Veins. That was six people. Thinking of this, the young man nodded and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave!"
"En, good!" Looking at the young man's back, Lu You sighed. Then, he looked at the six pill refiners who had successfully passed and a happy smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, when he saw the pills refined by the six pill refiners, Lu You had already given his disciple's name to Chu Ci. After all, he deserved it. He knew very well that he had a Venerable Grade pill refiner as his master.
Looking at the crowd, Lu You opened his mouth and said, "Alright, the first round is over. After the first round, a total of six people have been eliminated. The second round is about to begin. Among the six of you, there will be someone who will die in the second round. I hope you're all prepared."
"Don't worry, President Lu. We're all prepared. When will the second round begin? We can't wait!"
At this moment, the fatty who was refining the Stink Pill asked Lu You with a face full of excitement when he heard Lu You's words. He looked at Chu Ci with shining eyes.
"Heh, it's about to begin!" He understood the fatty's meaning. Looking at him, Lu You smiled and said, "The second round is about to begin. You can start at any time. Challenge one person and propose the pill you want to bet. Then, according to the quality, rank, and quality of the pill, the person who loses will be divided."
The time for this round was the same as the previous one. If one didn't pass within the time limit, it would be considered as a forfeit.
"Alright, I want to challenge Chu Ci. I heard that he refined five Pill Veins!"
As expected, after hearing Lu You's words, the fatty who had been waiting for his prey hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at Chu Ci.
"Eh …"
Suddenly, someone wanted to challenge him. For a moment, he was stunned.
