MEIWITA Chapter 692: The Thoughts of the Alchemy Pagoda’s Pagoda Master and Emperor Ming

The private room where Lou Mu Yan stayed this time was still the previous one. After all, her spirit pets were more relaxed when they were alone together, and she didn’t like to restrain them.

Emperor Ming and his party also came for the second match, and everyone wanted to see just how capable the wife Ming Xiu spoke of was. They were also more concerned about their bets, and many princes wanted to see Ming Xiu lose and make a fool of himself.

As soon as the time arrived, the Deputy Pagoda Master of the Central State appeared in the arena to announce the rules.

“In the first match, only six participants received less than five points and couldn’t continue, so were eliminated. The second match will occur among the forty-four of you. Those with less than five points will still be eliminated.

“This second match is about alchemy comprehension, skills, technique, quality, and pill yield rate.”

The main judge pointed to the competition table in front of everyone and said: “There are a total of grade 5, grade 6, and grade 7 pills and their refining methods and spiritual herbs. You can choose one of them to refine.

“There is one portion for the grade 5 pill, the grade 6 has two potions, and the grade 7 has three portions. If all six portions of materials are used up, and you aren’t successful, you will be eliminated directly.

“This old man hopes that you won’t hide anything in this kind of competition. Use all your ability, and if you can refine grade 7 pills, then don’t try it one by one. The judgement is naturally based on the highest-grade pill having the most advantage.

“Of course, don’t deliberately pursue the most advanced, otherwise you’ll lose your sense of calmness.

“Choose the right one according to your level, this is advice from this old man to you.

“Alright, now the second match begins, and the time is six hours. Those who exceed the time limit will obtain zero points and be eliminated directly.”

After his voice fell, many people picked up the three copies of the pill formulas and took a look. Many put down the first and third copies and began to think about the second one.

These three pill formulas weren’t pills that were circulated on the market, but instead stored in the Alchemy Pagoda, and even Zhou Zhou had never seen it before

Lou Mu Yan also casually picked them up to take a look, then chose the grade 7 pill formula in the end.

She had also never refined the pill in this pill formula before, but she was familiar with every attribute of the spiritual herbs above, so she didn’t find it difficult.

She picked up a portion of the spiritual herbs used to refine the grade 7 pill and tossed them all into the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, then began to refine them.

The others were extremely surprised when they saw this—they had never seen people refine pills like this before.

Wasn’t it obvious that throwing all the spiritual herbs into the pill cauldron would cause it to fail?

Only the alchemists from the Northern State branch venue weren’t surprised by Lou Mu Yan’s sudden movements. After all, they were also very surprised in the branch venue before.

‘One couldn’t eat hot tofu if they were hasty’, and the alchemists present were all very patient. They weren’t in a hurry to refine pills, and also guessed that Lou Mu Yan’s first set of ingredients might be used for testing purposes, so they didn’t compare their speed to her.

In the Alchemy Pagoda’s private room.

The red-haired elderly man sitting in the middle was slightly surprised by Lou Mu Yan’s actions, and after thinking about it, he asked the Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State: “She also refined pills like this in the divisional competition before?”

“Yes, she can condense her mental energy and refine multiple spiritual herbs at the same time, and also has very capable fire control.” The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State revealed admiration.

The Pagoda Master rubbed the teacup lightly with his fingers, “What she’s choosing right now is a grade 7 pill.”

“She was able to refine advanced-level grade 6 pills before, so I guessed that she’s a grade 7 alchemist at that time.” The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State replied.

The Pagoda Master nodded slightly: “Such a young and talented grade 7 alchemist is rare, the Feng Clan has benefited.”

The other alchemists who competed against Lou Mu Yan or those with who watched probably all thought that Lou Mu Yan was just fooling around or testing. Only they could tell she was using a special refining method.

“Indeed, the Feng Clan’s strongest grade 7 enshrined alchemist is already several thousands of years old and it’d be difficult to improve now, but Lou girl obviously still has a lot of room for development.” The Pagoda Master of Northern State said.

Other superiors of the Alchemy Pagoda also agreed, but they weren’t sure whether she could refine it or not, and it was difficult to draw a conclusion.

Although Lou Mu Yan had never refined this kind of pill before, but she was able to perform perfectly in her technique and fire control, and quickly refined all the spiritual herbs in the pill cauldron.

As soon as she raised her head, she inadvertently met Lan Ruo Shui’s gaze when she also raised her head at the same time, and the other party declared war on her with fighting spirit in her icy eyes.

Originally, she was only planning to refine eight advanced level high-quality grade 7 pills, but she changed her mind when she thought of Ming Xiu’s Emperor Father, and the Feng Clan’s members who were sitting in the private rooms watching.

If she lost to Lan Ruo Shui like this, both Ming Xiu and her mother would lose face, not to mention that she was already well-known now, so she didn’t have to hide anymore—let’s fight with our true abilities.

Soon, a scarlet flame leapt out from her fingertips and jumped into the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron.

She could still refine grade 7 pills without using spirit flames, but the yield rate would be two or three fewer—however, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.

At this moment, Lan Ruo Shui had just finished refining half of the spiritual herbs when she saw that Lou Mu Yan had actually started to condense her pills. Her heart hovered. She didn’t smell the burnt smell of hear the muffled sound. It seemed that Lou Mu Yan’s strength was indeed good.

She thought for a while and accelerated the speed of refining.

The piles of medicinal powders in the pill cauldron gradually merged, and Lou Mu Yan’s fire fluctuated from large and smile, and her skill of controlling the flames seemed to be very elegant even to outsiders.

After a cup of tea’s time, she lightly patted the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron.

The cauldron let out a cheerful hum, and people watched as smooth, white, jade-like plump pills flew out of it one by one, falling into the bottles prepared by the organiser.

“I’ve finished refining.” She handed the bottle containing the pills to the deputy judge not far away.

The deputy judge hid the shock in his eyes, put the bottle on a tray and handed it to the judges above.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan refining the grade 7 pills so quickly, everyone present was in an uproar.

In the alchemy Pagoda’s private room.

“Twelve advanced-level peak-quality grade 7 pills, she can be regarded as a peerless genius. Our Alchemy Pagoda wants this girl.” The Pagoda Master’s deep and boundless eyes were filled with brilliance.

Everyone here were grade 8 alchemists, and the quality of the pills could also be judged based on the colour. They all stared with large eyes in absolute disbelief.

The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State actually didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to be so amazing either. He laughed and said: “This old man had contact with her before, but she said she wanted to wait until the alchemy competition is over before thinking about it.”

“We must dig her to the Alchemy Pagoda.” The Pagoda Master thought for a while and continued: “Let her come see me after the alchemy competition.”

“Yes!” The Northern State’s Deputy Pagoda Master had a huge smile all over his face. This girl was a good seedling that he had found.

In the private room of the Ming Palace Royal Clan.

Emperor Ming belonged to one of the top existences standing above the entire Tian’ling Continent, so he naturally could tell the quality of the pills refined by Lou Mu Yan.

There was a deep smile in his eyes, and he thought to himself that no wonder his domineering and arrogant son with high standards would fall in love with Lou Mu Yan—her alchemy talent could definitely be regarded as a peerless genius so rare that it’s only found every ten thousand years.

This wife his son found was talented and capable, so as his dad, he was naturally happy. If Lou Mu Yan was just an empty and beautiful vase, he definitely wouldn’t approve of his son marrying her as the main wife, not to mention the only one.

After another hour, Lan Ruo Shui’s pills came out of the cauldron one by one, and there were actually as many as twelve pills flying out of the cauldron as well.
