C33 Pill refining nonexistent(part ii)

nonexistent (lower)

In the judging area, a servant disciple standing beside Taoist Master Bai Ling poured tea while laughing: "Master, it is indeed as you have expected, that Zhou Tong's refining speed is much faster than the others."

"So what? This stinking brat, I repeatedly told him not to be late, but in the end, he was still late. I told everyone to choose the best ingredients and use the worst quality ones, without good control, it would be difficult to refine a qualified pill. " Taoist Master Bai Ling sighed helplessly and scolded with a smile, looking at Zhou Tong as if he hated him for not being able to meet his expectations.

"Isn't it true that Master wants to see just how capable he is?"

"Yeah, just how much ability does this kid have?" Let's wait and see. It would be difficult to find a qualified successor for Senior Brother Han Kong. " Sighing, Taoist Master Bai Ling shifted her gaze back onto Zhou Tong, "Brat, don't make any mistakes."

As time slowly passed, the few rather strong competitors on the stage had already refined the essence of the medicinal ingredients. After a slight hesitation, they gritted their teeth, poured the essence into the Within the Cauldron, and began the final refinement.

Zhou Tong, on the other hand, had a calm and composed appearance. Holding onto the door of fire with one hand, and controlling the various materials that were refined in the medicinal cauldron with the other, a round pill started to take shape.

Zhou Tong turned his head to the side and saw that the medicinal cauldron in front of the alchemist was already charred black. Obviously, that person's first medicinal ingredient had been wasted just like that.

Zhou Tong smacked his lips, and released a 'tsk tsk' sound. He quickly retracted the round pill in his hand, and immediately threw it into Zhou Tong's palm, but Zhou Tong did not remove the flame in the medicinal cauldron. Instead, he grabbed the second set of medicinal ingredients and continued to throw them into the medicinal cauldron.

Raising his head to look at Di Bei who was in the center of the stage, Zhou Tong immediately realized that Di Bei had also begun refining his second pill. Coincidentally, Di Bei also turned around to look at Zhou Tong, and discovered that Zhou Tong was doing the same thing as him.

After a while, the pellets in most of the people's hands started to take shape, and just at that moment, Di Bei and Zhou Tong raised their hands at the same time.

"Done."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled disdainfully. The other contestants had also finished refining their pills, but other than the two of them, there was only one pill in each of their hands.

"Everyone, bring your pills with you."

The nine participants brought their respective pellets to the judge's stand, and placed their respective pellets in front of Taoist Master Bai Ling, then stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting for Taoist Master Bai Ling's decision. Di Bei stood in the middle, refusing to let them go, while the others intentionally avoided him, but Zhou Tong casually stood beside him.

"Un, this one is not bad, but the quality is a bit worse. Not bad, the quality is still considered good. What the hell is this?" "Medicine dregs?"

Taoist Master Bai Ling checked the pills everyone refined, giving the most concise and refined evaluation, and when she was in front of Di Bei and Zhou Tong, her face revealed a happy expression.

"How many pills do I want you to make?"

"One." The two of them answered at the same time.

"Then why give me two?"

The two of them glanced at each other before speaking at the same time, "Because the materials on the table can be used to refine two."

"Good!" That's what I want to see! " The Taoist Master Bai Ling nodded his head in relief, "The two of you can take a rest and directly enter the next round. The next round will start in two hours and do not be late, especially you, Zhou Tong.

Taoist Master Bai Ling reached out to pinch Zhou Tong's nose and scolded him, then she waved her hand to indicate their position. Forget about the completion of the pellets, just the two of them being able to refine two Qi Xuan Dan was enough to stand out amongst the group of participants.

After the two of them paid their respects to Taoist Master Bai Ling, they turned and left. Before going down the stage, Di Bei glanced at him and laughed coldly.

"Not bad, you are very interesting, but you are still far from it."

"That's right, you shouldn't be late. Otherwise, the steps to purifying the medicinal herbs would be quicker than yours. If you knew earlier, you wouldn't have left a message for Big Brother." Zhou Tong shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, not even looking at Di Bei, and left the stage.

Di Bei stood in his original position, the expression on his face did not change much, but it nevertheless caused people to feel an indescribable chill. Di Bei stared at Zhou Tong until Zhou Tong walked down from his seat. Then, Di Bei retracted his gaze and left the stage.

Once he got off the stage, Xue Yang walked up to him and wrapped his arms around Zhou Tong's neck. "Good job, kid.

"It's fine, it's fine. The cultivation technique's reason is that after taking in the Heavenly Thunder Pattern Pill, one's cultivation has become weak and weak. These days, it will stabilize for a bit." Zhou Tong waved his hand, "I left the pills at Big Bro's dormitory, did Big Bro see them?"

"I didn't have time to use it. I heard from your letter that it's here, so I directly rushed over." It looks like the pill you refined is definitely extraordinary, for it to have such a strong effect. This way, the two of us brothers will have a good fight in Immortal Path Congress. " Xue Yang laughed heartily, then patted Zhou Tong's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's take advantage of the break to eat, I don't even have time to eat breakfast, let me get hungry."

With that, the two of them left the venue while talking and laughing, and had a simple breakfast.

Two hours quickly passed and this time, Zhou Tong had returned to the auction house many times in advance. Not long after he arrived at the auction house, the people who were watching the show once again gathered over. None of the people present questioned Zhou Tong's ability anymore.

In the previous match, Zhou Tong had displayed a strength that filled everyone with amazement. The current him, was undoubtedly the leader among the remaining four people, and this kind of leading position practically started from the moment he became the champion, moving shoulder to shoulder with the hot topic Di Bei.

No matter where one was, those with the ability to do so would always be able to obtain the reverence of others, especially in the world of cultivators.

After a while, Taoist Master Bai Ling appeared on the judge's seat again and started to read out the rules for the second round.

The second round will test your ability to combine medicinal ingredients. This time, there is no medicinal formula and all the medicinal ingredients that can be used are already placed beside your respective medicinal cauldrons. You will need to match the highest quality medicinal pills with the medicinal ingredients that you can use.

"En, this is more like it. Refining the ingredients according to the formula is boring." Zhou Tong secretly smiled.

The four of them walked to the sides of the medicinal cauldron respectively. Zhou Tong swept his eyes over the medicinal ingredients as he calculated the number and effects of each type of medicinal ingredient in his mind. For a drug refiner, without a prescription, they would have to arrange everything on their own. If they were slightly careless, it would be too late for regret.

At this time, Di Bei's face had a hint of a smile on it, and his gaze swept across the three people on the stage unconcernedly. In the end, his gaze stopped on Zhou Tong, and he laughed: "Amongst the three of you, you are the only one who still has some ability, but in this round, I will not hold back at all!"

Looking at Di Bei who was sneering, Zhou Tong merely shrugged. The other two people had green expressions, as both of them were disciples of A Gate, being looked down upon in such a manner made them a little angry, but as for Di Bei, the two of them dared not say a word, and could only silently endure.

"Whether or not you hold back is none of my business. In any case, I won." With his eyebrows raised, Zhou Tong no longer bothered with Di Bei and started to study the ingredients.

Looking at the four people on the stage, Taoist Master Bai Ling frowned, she looked at Zhou Tong and whispered: "Brat, Master, can you really see the miracle I want to see on you?"

On the stage, the four of them started to get busy. Without a prescription, and purely relying on their own designs, it was countless times more difficult to refine pills compared to the medicinal formulas. However, this only reflected the strength of a alchemist.

"Grade-2 and grade-3, hmm? This is a 'lily'? It's done! " Zhou Tong was constantly calculating how to mix the different types of medicinal ingredients in his mind. Suddenly, Zhou Tong noticed a lotus with jet-black petals in the corner, and with a flick of his finger, he started to pick the medicinal ingredients. His face revealed a happy expression.
