C46 Water and Snake Root Powder
C46 Water and Snake Root Powder
Who was the last person to be warmly received by Master Chen Zhou?
It seemed to be a certain Northwest Inheritance Sect's Empty Meditative Rank cultivator Sect Leader...
Lee Weicheng's intestines almost turned green from regret. The person he offended that day was such a character!
Even after Xia Ling left, Chen Zhou didn't say anything to Lee Weicheng, as if he didn't know about this. However, this didn't necessarily mean it was safe. If these words were to leak out one day, it might ruin his future!
Moreover, that youth's pill refining level was so high …
What if … That Xia Ling also came to the One Origin Sect …
Thinking about this, Lee Weicheng became even more terrified. With Xia Ling's standard, he had to be Xia Ling's superior. By then, it would be too late for him to make up for his wrongdoings!
So he went out early in the morning and waited here. The guards at the entrance were curious. Wasn't this the fifth tier alchemist, Lee Weicheng? Who were they waiting for?
Then, they watched in astonishment as the genius alchemist, who had received great attention from within the One Origin Sect, ran towards a young man with a smile as if he was a welcoming lady.
It was the same posture, the upper body not moving at all, the two legs sprinting. It was simply too much respect!
Even Xia Ling was shocked.
He had seen Lee Weicheng from afar, but he didn't take him seriously. After all, he didn't have any connections with this apothecary. However, the fact that Lee Weicheng ran over in such an exaggerated manner was beyond Xia Ling's expectation.
Even Xia Ling started to have some doubts, could it be that I'm very familiar with him?
"Master, master!" Good day. " Lee Weicheng quickly walked up and gave a deep bow. "I am honored to have you participate in this Pill Assembly. If it is convenient for you, let me be your guide today!"
The guards at the entrance were so shocked that their eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets. What did they see?
Even Xia Yanru, who was standing beside him, had a surprised look on her face. Wasn't this the arrogant Tier 5 alchemist from last time? She looked Lee Weicheng up and down. "Why did it become like this this time …" Flattery?
Xia Ling was also stunned, but as the former Sword Emperor, he was not surprised by this kind of situation.
He stretched out his hand. "Thank you."
Lee Weicheng was overjoyed that Xia Ling was so polite. He quickly said, "It's my honor, it's my honor!"
Finished speaking, he led the two of them towards the inside of the Everlasting Feast Hall.
Since Lee Weicheng wanted to restore Xia Ling's impression of him, of course he had to do his homework. He walked sideways while introducing the rules of the Pill Assembly to Xia Ling.
"Master, all the ingredients you requested have been prepared and sent to the medicine cabinet at the venue. Oh of course, every pill refiner participating in the Pill Assembly would have their own pill refining area. "All pill forging areas are randomly assigned according to the order in which they are registered..."
They walked through the red-carpeted corridor. The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and everything in front of them suddenly became clear. This was a rather large venue, and it was big enough for a group of cultivators to practice their martial arts here! The large hall was separated by a standing medicine cabinet and became a separate pill refining area.
The pill furnace, utensils, utensils had all been prepared!
There were already apothecaries bustling about their own area, preparing in advance to inspect the medicinal herbs. The large hall was surrounded by a circle of seats extended upwards. There was also a private room where the various large sects and aristocratic families were seated at after the start of the Pill Assembly. At the very top was a high platform which was hung high up, and at the end of the stage, the One Origin Sect Masters would announce their victory.
"Second Miss, I'll be going to prepare as well." Xia Ling saw the medicine cabinet with his name written on it, turned around and said to the girl.
Xia Yanru smiled as she encouraged him. "Do your best." As the representative of the Ningnan City family, she also had her own private room. For aristocratic families, this Pill Assembly was not only looking forward to the limelight for their alchemists, but also to recruit other outstanding alchemists.
Xia Yanru also had to observe the situation as early as possible.
After bidding farewell, Xia Ling walked into his pill refining area and began to inspect all kinds of tools.
He had to be careful of this material that others prepared. If there was any trick, Xia Ling didn't want to follow in Master Zhu's footsteps.
On the other side of the venue, on the high platform, Jiang Zheng was standing there, looking down from a slanted angle. He was also looking at Xia Ling. Beside him was his disciple Su Xinfeng, who was looking at Xia Ling with a face full of schadenfreude.
"Check, you just keep checking, what can you find?" Su Xinfeng was very confident about the trap his master had set. In his opinion, Xia Ling would definitely be covered in dust this time.
Putting aside competing with him for the top spot, it was already impressive that he was able to produce pills!
Jiang Zheng looked at Xia Ling and gave a disdainful smile as he said, "He is wasting his time right now. If my methods were seen through by him, would I lose my title of being a Sixth Class alchemist?"
Jiang Zheng had spent a lot of effort in the plan this time. Putting aside the fact that the other party was just a young man, even an alchemist at the same level as him would fall at the hands of such a young man.
He was disdainful of changing raw materials. If the other party were to carefully examine such a low-level method, he would definitely discover it. It would be better to not do so.
What he did, however, was much more brilliant.
He had only added a little something else to the water of the whole hall.
That's right, even if an alchemist were to inspect the herbs and equipment, very few would go out of their way to check the water source. This was especially the case for occasions like this where all apothecaries would fetch water from one place. With his great reputation of One Origin Sect, how could he have possibly made mistakes in the water sources?
It took Jiang Zheng a while to figure it out. He had to add something that would not affect the other alchemists, but would be incompatible with the properties of Wu Steel. This was indeed hard to find, but it wasn't too difficult for Sixth Class alchemists.
It's just snake root powder.
This sort of thing was used by many wealthy families as a good medicine for summer. Being cold without hurting the body was indeed good. However, if it was used in alchemy, its cold energy was extremely tyrannical.
And in the pill formula that Xia Ling submitted, it was obvious that he mainly used warmth to concoct pills. If he mixed in the serpent root powder, with the strictness of the pill refining process, this pill would definitely be destroyed.
There could not be a second result!
Jiang Zheng laughed coldly and said to his disciple, "Okay, you just need to perform properly next. Even if this brat is lucky, a pill he managed to refine will still be reduced by at least three levels! "
"Plus Master Chen Zhou's Flashlight, what you want is definitely yours!"
