C292 Second Round
C292 Second Round
As the defeated people continued to descend, the originally somewhat crowded platform immediately became somewhat spacious.
A Grade Three Luocheng Pill was originally an easy pill to concoct. Therefore, compared to those who failed, it was much easier to find the right person to concoct one step at a time.
Not long after, someone managed to refine it.
The first one to be refined was Gu Qi, and from within he heard a low sound coming from his small cauldron, following that, he opened the lid of the small cauldron, with his right hand, he threw out the steaming hot pills from within the small cauldron.
Gu Qi immediately extended his hand to catch it.
Following which, Gu Qi placed him on a jade plate on the table, and then proudly raised the jade plate and showed it to the Everyone at the scene.
At this time, Dong Jianwu and the other alchemists in charge of the appraisal had already walked over to his side. After confirming that the pills in Gu Qi's jade plate were indeed grade three Luo Cheng pills, Dong Jianwu immediately announced.
"Indeed, it's a third ranked Luo Cheng Dan. Congratulations to Gu Qi for entering the next round."
Hearing Dong Jianwu's words, the Everyone at the scene immediately nodded in praise.
"As expected of the strongest alchemist among the young generation of Alchemists Union. It looks like the first place will belong to him."
After Gu Qi succeeded, there were also about ten people who continued to refine the third grade Luo Cheng Pill.
At this time, there were still close to thirty people on the kung fu stage who were still focused on refining pellets and Lin Long was among them.
"F * ck, you are so weak, yet you still managed to persist on stage. This young master is truly convinced." Below the stage, Liu Jingtong scolded softly.
He wished that Lin Long would immediately fail and step down, but seeing that Lin Long was still insisting, he started to curse him.
However, he was quickly disappointed, because not long after, Lin Long was able to refine a Level Three Luocheng Pellet, and even passed the verification by Dong Jianwu and a few other alchemists.
Amongst these alchemists who were in charge of appraisal, besides the Alchemists Union, there were other powers, and two of them had a pretty good relationship with the Liu family. Thus, there would not be situations where Lin Long would secretly cheat to let him pass.
Those who were not optimistic about Lin Long initially, saw that he actually succeeded, and were naturally surprised in their hearts.
"Could it be that this guy was just playing around? Did he already have a plan?" This thought appeared in all of their minds.
As for that Guo Ming, he felt greatly humiliated, because he had directly said that Lin Long's strength was insufficient and wanted to drive him out of the kung fu stage. He never expected that the final result would be like this.
"The child can be taught, the child can be taught." After saying that with satisfaction, Kong Zhi looked at Guo Ming who was on the other side with a pleased expression.
"This brat must have snuck a peek at Lin Shiyin, or Lin Shiyin gave him a hint, how else would he be able to concoct a Luo Cheng Dan." Below the stage, Liu Jingtong thought.
After a period of time, the last person on the stage had finished refining. In the end, according to the statistics of Dong Jianwu and the other few alchemists, there were a total of thirty-two people who passed the first round and entered the next round.
All sixty-seven of them had eliminated more than half of their opponents in one go. The brutality of the match made everyone present sigh with emotion.
After resting for less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Dong Jianwu stood in front of the stage and announced the start of the next round.
"In this round of the competition, we will be refining a Grade 3 Blue Flame Pill. The first fifteen people who refine a Grade 3 Blue Flame Pill will be able to enter the next round. The loser will be eliminated." Dong Jianwu said.
"This Blue Flaming Pill is a medicinal pill that is often refined from Grade Three Medicinal Pills. Every Grade Three Alchemist would come into contact with it, so they aren't unfamiliar with it."
"This kind of medicinal pill will test the ability of many in every aspect. Moreover, the refining process is quite complicated. This round of 'Fire Blue Pill' is the most suitable for the competition."
"It all depends on who's stronger and who's faster."
When they heard that it was a competition of Grade Three Blue Flaming Pills, the people present immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion.
As for the people on the stage, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If it was like the Grade 3 Luocheng Pill before, then their hearts wouldn't be able to withstand such a sudden and innovative attack. After all, they couldn't guarantee that they would be able to handle such a competition with their knowledge.
It was naturally easier for them to accept and rest assured that the current competition was entirely based on strength.
Once Dong Jianwu finished announcing his name, a member of the competition immediately brought up the materials to refine the third grade Blue Flame Pill and placed it on the thirty-two tables. The thirty odd tables that were left empty were already moved down from kung fu stage.
Now, the thirty-two tables on the stage were lined up in six rows, and the gaps between each table were large enough so that there was no connection at all between the adjacent people.
However, this kind of situation still made Liu Jingtong, who was below the stage, unable to sit still. After struggling for a while, he finally could not hold it in any longer and shouted towards the stage, "I think that someone might have cheated, so I strongly recommend that he change his position!"
Looking down from the stage, Dong Jianwu saw that it was the Liu Family's Liu Jingtong, he knew that Liu Jingtong had a grudge with Lin Long, so he immediately ignored it.
Just as he was about to announce the start of the competition, President Luo Hong's voice came from behind him, "Friend, what do you think?"
Luo Hong initially did not want to bother with them, but if he ignored them, it would give off the feeling that his Alchemists Union was guilty, so he opened his mouth.
"I feel that the reason why Lin Long was able to concoct the third grade Luo Cheng Pill earlier was because he was cheating. Lin Shiyin, who was beside him, gave him a hint, so, in order to prevent this from happening, we have to make him change his position and stay away from Lin Shiyin." Liu Jingtong said loudly.
In order to prevent Lin Long from being able to cheat and advance to the next round, he had already planned to not give any face.
Hearing him say that, some of them came to a realization, feeling that Lin Long being able to level up was definitely not right.
However, it was still acceptable to say that he was cheating, but wasn't it impossible to say that he was cheating in this competition? These people agreed with Liu Jingtong's previous thoughts, but they did not agree with Liu Jingtong's current worry. After all, the distance between the competitors on the stage was already large enough.
In their opinion, Liu Jingtong's current state was just too worrying, too worried that he would be able to enter the next round.
"That young man over there is a master level alchemist. Furthermore, the one who is talking to you is the president of the Alchemists Union. Isn't it a little rude for you to sit there and talk to them?" Just then, someone below the stage suddenly spoke to Liu Jingtong.
The reason this person said this was not because he deliberately sought to cause trouble for Liu Jingtong, but because he couldn't bear to see the young Liu Jingtong being so arrogant.
Of course, if he were to know Liu Jingtong's identity, he would definitely think twice in his heart.
The moment he finished speaking, the entire venue immediately burst into laughter.
"Friend, you don't know. It's not that Sir Liu doesn't want to stand up, it's because of a hidden disease in his lower abdomen."
"Indeed, there is a problem with the third leg. How can you stand up?"
"If it was me, I wouldn't even come to watch the competition. Instead, I would be recuperating at home."
These people did not want to ridicule Liu Jingtong initially, but because his words had poked straight to their ears, causing them to laugh uncontrollably.
0
Hearing such mockery, Liu Jingtong's expression immediately became incomparably ugly.
Damn you Lin Long, I, Liu Jingtong swear I will kill you! Liu Jingtong roared in his heart, he did not dare to offend everyone's anger, so naturally, he shifted it onto Lin Long.
After all, Liu Jingtong was his son, who would be willing to be ridiculed in front of so many people and be humiliated in front of so many people?
Anger filled his heart, he immediately turned around to look at the source of the mocking laughter. His eyes were filled with killing intent, causing those who spoke to immediately lower their heads, pretending to say nothing.
"Since there are people who have such concerns, then for the sake of the contestants, let's increase the distance between the tables. At the same time, move Lin Long's position to the front row." Luo Hong said.
"As expected of the guild leader." Seeing Luo Hong's righteous appearance, everyone present nodded their heads.
Following that, the distance between the tables increased again, and at the same time, Lin Long followed Luo Hong's instructions and went to the first row.
Boy, let's see how you're going to cheat this time. Seeing that Lin Long was in the first row and the people around him were obviously not familiar with Lin Long, Liu Jingtong could not help but think this in his heart.
As Lin Long walked forward, Lin Shiyin glanced at him apologetically, because he had looked at Lin Long that many times during the first round of the competition, causing his to be caught red-handed.
Lin Long smiled at her, hinting her not to worry.
After everything returned to normal, just as Dong Jianwu was about to announce the start of the fight, an unexpected scene appeared on the scene. The Yu Chenghe who had originally sat back down suddenly stood up again, and walked towards Lin Long.
What was Yu Chenghe trying to do? Everyone was stunned.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Yu Chenghe arrived in front of Lin Long and patted his shoulder, "You can do it young lad, I think highly of you. Don't be disturbed by the actions of some villains and take out your true abilities.
Finished speaking, Yu Chenghe walked back with big strides.
The heck, why did Yu Cheng and the others make such a ruckus just for this line? Everyone present was even more dumbfounded.
Little person? You old bastard actually said I'm a villain? Hearing this, Liu Jingtong was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Guo Ming was also trembling with anger, because Yu Cheng He's words had clearly insulted him as well.
Below the stage, Liu Kangning's face was unsettled, because he knew Yu Chenghe's character, Yu Cheng and because of his straightforward character, even though he had the strength, he did not try to form a gang, but now he actually revealed his respect for Lin Long, it was completely equivalent to his Liu family having an additional enemy.
What ability did Lin Long have to be valued so highly by Yu Chenghe? Liu Kangning could not help but look at Lin Long.
