MEIWITA Chapter 669: Bei’yuan Branch Pagoda Alchemy Competition (Four)

The next day, Lou Mu Yan and her party went to the Alchemy Pagoda branch in Bei’yuan.

After arriving at the Alchemy Pagoda, Lou Mu Yan took her group to the private room of Emperor Bei’yuan as usual to wait. An Yu Qian and the others were also in the private room.

They were the inspectors of the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union, and they also needed to find other talents—outstanding alchemists were also their targets to recruit.

There were, as usual, several rounds in the second match, and it took about two hours before it was Lou Mu Yan and Wu Nuan’s turn.

It took a long time for an alchemist to refine a batch of high-grade pills. Under normal circumstances, for example, it took at least an hour to refine a batch of grade 5 pills, and some alchemists even needed half a day to a day to refine a batch of grade 6 pills.

Few alchemists could achieve the refining speed like Lou Mu Yan’s.

The Alchemy Pagoda judge for the second match was still the same as before.

He walked to the front of the crowd and said: “The second match of the competition is about alchemy skills and fire control ability. There are three kinds of grade 5 pills and ingredients on the table. You can choose one of them to refine as the competition pill.

“Each type of pill only has enough for one portion. If the refining fails, you can continue to try to refine the second type of pill. Each person only has three chances. If you fail all three times, you will be directly eliminated.

“The time limit is four hours and those who have not refined the pill after this time will be eliminated directly.

“Successful refining does not mean that you will be able to advance to the third competition. We will select the top twenty people who have refined the highest grade and highest quality to advance

“Of course, if the grade and quality are the same, we will determine who advances based on your rate of pills refined per batch.

“Alright, the competition starts now!”

The positions of Lou Mu Yan and the others were randomly drawn, and she found her corresponding table number, then scanned the table casually.

Remembering that the results were superimposed, she picked up the spiritual herbs of the most difficult grade 5 pill on the table and took out the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron to refine.

She was now a grade 8 alchemist and refining a grade 5 pill was basically as easy as eating. There wasn’t even a need to use her spirit flame.

She tossed all the spiritual herbs into the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron and a cluster of crimson flames shot out from her fingers, falling into the alchemy cauldron.

Although refining grade 5 pills was very simple, and she could even do it with her eyes closed, but Lou Mu Yan had always been serious and pious when it came to alchemy.

So her movements were skilful and elegant without the slightest sense of neglect in play.

In Emperor Bei’yuan’s private room.

“Why did Lou Mu Yan toss all the spiritual herbs into the alchemy cauldron? That’s unreasonable right.” Xia Xuan Ye said in surprise, watching the delicate figure on the projection crystal.

He was wondering if the information was wrong, and that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t actually an alchemist. Then why did she register?

Or was this her unique method of refining pills?

An Yu Qian appeared calm. Lou Mu Yan gave him a very mature feeling and didn’t seem to joke about this kind of thing. She should have her own set of pill refining secrets.

Chu Xi looked puzzled, “Tossing all the spiritual herbs into the alchemy cauldron, how can she refine and condense pills?”

None of the three were alchemists, so they couldn’t see the trick in it at all.

“My Owner’s skills in alchemy are beyond the comprehension of you lot who know nothing about it.” Bing Ji raised his chin with a proud expression.

His Owner was refining pills like this even back when she was at a low grade. So many were blinded back then. Now this was nothing at all, it was just the tip of the iceberg for her alchemy skills.

“…” Even if one ‘had never eaten pork, but they would’ve seen pigs run’. This Divine Beast was truly belittling them.

Emperor Bei’yuan’s eyes that were as deep as the sea fluctuated, and a small smile rose on his lips, “Young Miss Lou has very high mental energy, she can control the flames and refine all the spiritual herbs in the alchemy cauldron at the same time.”

It seems his younger brother’s new friend had strong talent in alchemy!

Hearing Emperor Bei’yuan say this, the other people nodded in understanding. Only this reason could explain her behaviour, but it truly was unexpected.

“At least you have some eyesight.” Bing Ji raised an eyebrow and looked at Emperor Bei’yuan with a smile.

Long Yao really wanted to slap Bing Ji back into his space—releasing this fool outside was truly too embarrassing.

Emperor Bei’yuan had the cultivation of a Peak-Phase Heaven Elemental Realm. After getting rid of the emotional shackles that had bound him for more than a decade this time, he must have touched the edge of the Unification Realm and may even be able to step into the semi-Unification Realm at any moment.

Emperor Bei’yuan exuded a very restrained aura that even he didn’t dare take lightly. This stinky bird was truly horrible at knowing the right things to say.

“You shut up.”

Bing Ji glared at Long Yao, “You stupid dragon, don’t tell me what to do.”

He knew what Long Yao was thinking, but he was also certain that Emperor Bei’yuan wouldn’t care about his words, otherwise he wouldn’t be so stupid as to say such things to a powerhouse at Heaven Elemental Realm.

He was just so proud of his Owner that he couldn’t resist but get carried away with pride for a while.

“Do you believe that lao’zi will beat you to death.” Long Yao rolled his eyes at him—this fool.

Bing Ji rolled up his sleeves, “Come on! You think this master’s afraid of you, stupid dragon.”

In terms of judging words and looks, this stupid dragon was much inferior. This idiot actually wanted to use force to make him submit, ‘a scholar could be beaten, but not humiliated’.

Soon, the one bird and one dragon disappeared in the room to fight in the space.

Mo Yan looked up lazily, with a slight smile in his eyes—two idiots.

Seeing that Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pets actually ran to fight after arguing, the others were also very speechless. The arc on Emperor Bei’yuan’s lips grew even larger. He quite liked this kind of atmosphere, and he didn’t mean to blame Bing Ji at all.

Mu’rong Qing and the others, as well as Fei Yan Chen, were no strangers to it. They were used to a fight between the one bird and one dragon every few days.

Fighting Long Yao every time definitely played a large role in Bing Ji’s advancement to Earth Elemental Realm.

Inside the Alchemy Pagoda’s private room.

The white-haired, ruddy-faced Deputy Pagoda Master watched Lou Mu Yan refining pills with brilliance in his eyes and said excitedly: “Genius! What a genius!”

“Deputy Pagoda Master, that girl’s actually capable of materialising mental energy to wrap the spiritual herbs and refine them all at once. Such talent hasn’t appeared in centuries.” The elegant man beside him also looked a little excited.

Hundreds of years ago, there were three people with such innate alchemy abilities, and they had now all advanced to grade 9 alchemists. How could they not be excited.

“I didn’t expect such a little devilishly talented person to appear in our Bei’yuan Alchemy Pagoda.” The Deputy Pagoda Master’s old face was about to burst into flowers from laughter, “As long as she refines an advanced-level grade 5 pill, I can report it to headquarters.”

People with such talents could walk very far in alchemy. As long as the grade and quality passed the test, then she was definitely worthy of for their Alchemy Pagoda to recruit and focus on training.

The Deputy Pagoda Master held back the excitement in his heart and stared fixedly at the crystal screen to watch Lou Mu Yan refine pills.

Even if such a talent didn’t join their Bei’yuan Alchemy Pagoda branch, he’d fight a bit for their headquarters.

And Lou Mu Yan in the arena didn’t disappoint them either.

Soon, while the others were still refining spiritual herbs one by one, all the spiritual herbs in her pill cauldron had become powder and she began to condense the pills.

Not even an incense stick of time later, ten bright and plump pills flew out of the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, and she placed them into the bottle on the table.
