Chapter 57 All the ladies are paying attention, Yaoyue's request!
"That machine is responsible for testing your results. Just gently put the 'Growing Bone Pill' you made into it. If it meets the requirements, the jade mirror in front of the stage will light up green. If it doesn't, it will light up red. That means failure. The outcome of failure is exit... In addition, the brighter the green light, the better the effect, which means it is a top-grade pill. On the contrary, the brighter the red light... hehe, that means... what you made is not a pill at all, but a useless bullet. Of course, it can't be said to be completely useless, at least it can still satisfy your hunger, right!"

Although Fama was old, he had a young heart and told a joke in a very humorous way. However, upon hearing his words, many alchemists in the square turned gloomy.

"Haha. Alright. Everyone. Let's get started..."

Holding the round bone-growing pill gently between his fingers, Xiao Ming glanced at the testing machine and without any nonsense, he threw it in. With a bang, the pill entered the testing machine and the jade mirror began to shine. After a while, a green energy column like emerald jade shot up into the sky and was particularly dazzling in this huge square.

At the VIP table.

Yao Ye stared at the beam of light intently, wondering what he was thinking.

Miterya Fei just looked at her lover wholeheartedly, her beautiful eyes full of love, and she was deeply happy for the young man's talent as an alchemist.

Nalan Yanran became even more excited. Seeing that Xiao Ming was about to get his first victory, the girl clenched her fists.

Seeing this, Yaoyue's beautiful eyes did not move, Xiao Yan had no expression, but Liu Ling's face turned as pale as liver. Damn, she lost to him again.

That’s right, although the machine has not been tested yet, but after seeing such a beam of light, Liu Ling also understood the result.

Afterwards, the three of them tested the machines together, and the results were obvious: Yaoyue's light column was the dimmest, Liu Ling's was slightly brighter, and Xiao Yan's was the best. Presumably this was also a time-consuming issue, which made Xiao Yan's pill more refined.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan was not second either. Near him, a dazzling green pillar that was several times brighter than Xiao Ming’s and only slightly inferior to him also shot up into the sky.

Yanli smiled faintly and mocked.

"It seems that apart from that kid, there is no one else in your Empire who can show off anything. It's just a second-grade bone-growing pill, but the quality is so bad!"

"You...!" Upon hearing this, Yaoyue, Liu Ling and the other alchemists from the Jiama Empire were a little angry, but they couldn't refute it.

Xiao Yan didn't seem to care. After all, he was not a local and didn't care about the so-called regional discrimination at all.

Xiao Ming smiled slightly and said calmly.

"But you were defeated by me, weren't you?"

After these words were spoken, Yanli didn't know what to say anymore. He just sneered and said lightly.

"Humph, it's just good luck. If I refine it for a while, who knows whose pill will be of higher quality!"

"You won't be so lucky next time! I will definitely win the title of the Empire's Alchemist Competition!"

Hearing this, Yaoyue and the others became a little angry, and the little princess even pleaded directly with the young man.

"Xiao Ming, please don't let him win. To increase the glory of the empire, you must win!"

Princess Yaoyue was also somewhat self-aware. When she saw Yanli's exaggerated light column, she knew that she was no match for him. She did not intend to humiliate herself, but instead went to find Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming said with a wicked smile.

"But compared to maintaining the glory of the Jiama Empire, I am more interested in you, little princess!"

"You are such a bad boy! I got it. After you win the championship, no matter what you want, I will do my best to satisfy you!" Hearing the boy's words, Yaoyue stomped her feet and said helplessly.

"In that case, I, Xiao Ming, really have to take the top spot this time!" Xiao Ming clenched his palms slightly and made a grasping gesture.

Liu Ling sneered. "Humph, what an arrogant guy, little princess, just look to me, Liu Ling. The championship of this year is mine!"

Xiao Yan also had some thoughts about the championship, but looking at the excited people, he just spoke calmly.

"Don't be too proud of yourself. I, Xiao Yan, feel the same way!"

……

Next, the second round of assessment was about to begin. Under Fama's instructions, they pressed the button on the bluestone platform. Soon, a large number of medicinal materials and a pill recipe appeared.

President Fama stood at the front of the VIP seats and spoke slowly.

"This is the second round of assessment! We use an orthodox prescription, so you don't have to worry about the purity of the extracted medicinal materials. Our guild has put all its manpower and several months of hard work into making this. This time, the assessment requires you to successfully refine the pill according to the prescription. Of course, the materials are still two portions, and the rules are the same as the previous round, so I won't go into details..."

When I opened the scroll, it turned out to be Fengxing Pill!

Xiao Ming smiled faintly and said nothing. Although he had never refined it before, he had the orthodox pill recipe. Combined with the hints in the original book, he knew where the problem in the second round lay. It was nothing more than adding the medicinal ingredient Hou Tuzhi to serve as a distraction.

In fact, as long as the interference of the medicinal herb Hou Tuzhi is eliminated, the difficulty of refining this third-grade Fengxing Pill is not as difficult as the Shenggu Pill which does not have an orthodox pill formula!

But in the world of alchemists, or anywhere else, few people have the courage and guts to question the problems with the pill formula.

Basically, they all take the blame for the explosion on themselves, and naturally they will continue to go down the wrong path.

Therefore, passing the second round of assessment was a sure thing for the young man.

Soon, everyone started to refine medicinal materials and condense pills. Yanli looked at the contestants who were making mistakes and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Hahaha, you alchemists from the Jiama Empire are such a bunch of rubbish, all mediocre and incapable of defeating me!"

As he spoke, Yanli slapped the medicine cauldron and placed his hands above and below on the sides of the cauldron. He controlled the cauldron in the void, controlled the temperature of the fire, and began to condense the elixir.

Seeing Yanli refining the pill so smoothly without any hindrance, the other alchemists were also shocked.

Xiao Yan's face was also full of disbelief.

"Fuck, who is this kid from? He really is a dark horse, right?"

The old man Yao in his ring was speechless.

"You idiot, can you please concentrate on making medicine and still pay attention to others?"

"Uh, okay!" After being scolded by Yao Lao, Xiao Yan continued to refine.

Under Yan Li's ridicule, the little princess and Liu Ling both sped up the process of refining medicinal materials. Liu Ling had even finished refining all eight kinds of medicinal materials. He threw all the essence into the cauldron and began to condense the pill.

But after only a moment, the cauldron exploded with a bang, making Liu Ling covered in dust, and the pretty boy became furious.

　Thank you Angels and Demons for the reward, thank you very much!
