Chapter 182 The end of the second round
"No, I was always a little behind. I hurriedly and slowly caught up, and in the end I was still behind the two of them, at least three minutes behind!" Xiao Yan frowned and thought to himself. .
His eyes quickly glanced at Xian'er and the gray-robed boy's medicine cauldron.
At this time, the elixir refined by Xian'er and the gray-robed boy was already in the final stage of warming and was about to be completely formed.
As for myself, I am still a little short of the fire.
Although he finally became a pill and was able to pass the test, he felt a little unwilling to lose these three minutes.
He could barely accept the slight loss to Xian'er.
But if he lost to the gray-robed boy from the Izumo Empire who looked younger than himself, he would be a little intolerable.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes.
At a certain moment, just before Xian'er and the gray-robed boy's elixir was about to take shape, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Bang!
Xiao Yan suddenly hit the medicine cauldron with his palm.
Suddenly, the elixir, which had not yet completed its final warming process, suddenly burst out of the cauldron with a ball of purple fire and shot out.
……
In the VIP seat.
"Nonsense!" Chemir shouted and almost jumped up.
"Reckless! Although it is the last step of warming up, how can the elixir be released in advance? Once the newborn elixir comes into contact with the cool air outside, the essence that has not yet completely solidified inside will be exposed to the alternation of cold and heat. , maybe it will disintegrate directly!" Looking at Xiao Yan's sudden move, Fama grasped the armrest with his palm, and the armrest suddenly burst open, and said angrily.
“This guy likes to play this kind of sexy tricks.” Wei Yang was also a little bit dumbfounded.
The elixir needs to be warmed and formed by gradually lowering the flame temperature, and it can only be released after its shape is completely stable.
And Xiao Yan is now ahead of schedule.
"Alas~" Yao Lao's somewhat helpless and unhappy sigh also sounded in Wei Yang's ears.
"Senior, why are you sighing? This is your choice, the disciple you taught." Wei Yang said to him.
“…” Yao Lao was speechless.
Even after three years of hard work, and three years of forbearance and hard training, Xiao Yan's character still inevitably has some spirit and impulsiveness.
This is a matter of personal character and style of doing things.
It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.
If it were Wei Yang who had done this kind of thing, he would never choose to take such a risk just for such a trivial matter.
Because the effort and the gain are not directly proportional at all, it is not worth it!
Even though Wei Yang doesn't like gambling, he still knows it.
Betting is always about using small things to win big things, not the other way around, using big things to win small things.
If the two really want to compare, Wei Yang is more calm and calm.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, is a little more impulsive and impulsive.
So at the last moment, Xiao Yan would take the risk and make this choice, and Wei Yang was not too surprised.
After all, the Son of Destiny is a person who always makes trouble when he has nothing to do. It is perfectly normal for him to make some showy moves during the game.
……
"Reckless guy!"
Xiao Yan's move also made the little princess, Liu Ling and others stunned, and then they couldn't help shouting angrily.
Ignoring the many glances, Xiao Yan kicked off the ground with his feet, his body suddenly rose up, and when he reached out with his palm, he grabbed the elixir wrapped in purple fire into his palm.
The moment he took the elixir, a more ferocious purple flame suddenly rose from Xiao Yan's palm. The elixir that had not yet completed the last step of warming and nourishing, instantly changed rapidly. Gotta get down firmly.
He chose to do the opposite, using the power of fire and soul to forcefully promote the rapid and stable formation of the elixir.
The body fell down, Xiao Yan flicked his fingers, and the elixir turned into a ray of light and shadow, and shot into the jade bottle below.
Soon, the calm jade mirror on the stone platform took the lead in lighting up with green light.
Xiao Yan's face was a little pale at this time, and his aura was also a little weak and unstable.
However, he stood proudly on the bluestone platform with a victorious smile on his lips.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Including Xian'er and the young man in gray robe, they were obviously stunned for a moment.
After a while.
“Madman!”
In a remote corner, the gray-robed young man who originally had a sneer on his face suddenly turned livid.
He completely did not expect that Xiao Yan would be so crazy. If the previous elixir, which was not completely stable, once it came into contact with the air, or there were any other mistakes... then all Xiao Yan's previous efforts , will be instantly reduced to nothing, and will directly lose the qualification to continue the competition.
This kind of bold and crazy move is just to get the first one or two minutes to become a pill... It is really unreasonable!
Being overtaken by the other party with this kind of cool maneuver is like being overtaken by someone using a drainage channel to turn a corner. It is frustrating!
With a livid face, the furious young man in gray robe smashed the jade bottle in front of him into powder with a slap.
After a while, he slapped the cauldron with a gloomy expression, and a round pill shot out, which he immediately put into the jade bottle. On the stone platform, the jade mirror suddenly lit up with green light.
Xian'er also completed this step almost at the same time, and the jade mirror in front of him lit up with green light.
The gap between the two was barely more than three seconds, which was considered evenly matched.
However, at this time, a full minute had passed since Xiao Yan succeeded.
Three green lights stand above the square.
The three people standing on the bluestone platform, surrounded by green light, accepted the attention of the audience.
...
The quiet atmosphere continued for more than a minute on the square because of Xiao Yan's madness.
Suddenly, the overwhelming cheers and screams were like a flash flood, almost overturning the huge square.
Xiao Yan also slowly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, looking up at the boiling square, with a faint smile on his face.
He turned his head and cast his gaze at the gray-robed young man with a gloomy face. He gave a thumbs up, and then slowly turned it upside down. A hint of youthful unrulyness appeared on his calm face.
"I will nail you to death. Don't even think about winning the championship!" Xiao Yan said softly.
Looking at Xiao Yan's actions with a livid face, the gray-robed boy snorted coldly and said slowly: "Don't be complacent. In the last round, let's compete again! Then, I won't I won’t hold anything back at all! Hey, have you two revealed your trump cards? I haven’t really taken it seriously yet.”
As he said this, he looked at it with a sneer. A glance at Xian'er.
"True card? Haha." Xiao Yan smiled and said nothing.
Sample.
Xian'er also looked at the other party inexplicably and said nothing.
True card?
Like no one else.
......
Ignoring the arrogant young man in gray robe, Xian'er and Xiao Yan looked away and looked at the alchemists around them who were still focusing on themselves.
They hesitated for a moment, then looked at each other, and Xian'er nodded slowly.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then silently picked up the thick soil mushroom left on the stone platform, looked at everyone, and threw it away.
This move is already quite obvious.
The underlying meaning is to tell them that there is actually nothing wrong with the recipe. All they need to do is remove the thick tangerine in it, and then rest assured and boldly refine it according to the standards of the recipe.
Following Xiao Yan's actions, many of the alchemists immediately understood what he meant, and were overjoyed. They all looked grateful, and then quickly lit a fire and started refining.
Some of them reacted a little slowly, but most of them reacted quickly, with ecstasy on their faces, and then they hurriedly took the time to refine it.
Looking at the contestants who were refining the elixir, Xianer glanced at the hourglass on the opposite wall that was almost half gone. She shook her head and lowered her head to tidy up the stone platform. of various items.
Xiao Yan also shrugged and began to sort out the items.
I have already hinted so obviously, I have done enough.
As for whether these contestants can refine the Fengxing Dan within the final time limit, this is not something that I should consider and worry about.
...
As the flames rose again, the deafening cheers in the square gradually weakened.
Time passes slowly.
Half an hour later.
The green light in front of the little princess and Liu Ling lit up, and they finally completed the refining first.
The two put the elixir into the jade bottle, looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two of them, green lights began to flash one after another, but more of them were still red lights.
The problem has been found and there is a way to solve it, but only a few people can successfully complete it.
The strength is not enough, just not enough, barely enough.
Furthermore, even apart from these, Fengxing Dan is still a genuine third-grade elixir.
Therefore, not to mention those second-grade alchemists, even those who are new to third-grade alchemists, many of them cannot successfully refine it in one go.
Thirty percent chance, this success rate is the norm.
Unlucky, even if you reach the peak of the third grade, you will have to fail the exam.
Under these conditions, the number of contestants is decreasing at a rapid rate.
The number of people who originally exceeded one thousand gradually reduced to less than three hundred, and this number is still decreasing.
When the hourglass was completely gone, the spacious square seemed a little sparse.
At a glance, only more than a hundred people were able to stay, while the rest had already failed and left.
