MEIWITA Chapter 695: Champion of the Alchemy Competition

Both Lou Mu Yan and Lan Ruo Shui would refine grade 8 pills, and such pills were just legends for many alchemists.

They stared intently at the two refining pills, especially Lan Ruo Shui. After all, Lou Mu Yan tossed all the spiritual herbs into the pill cauldron to refine together, and many people couldn’t understand the fire control at all.

Lan Ruo Shui’s technique was also very clever. The alchemists at grade 5 and 6 could only understand a little, while grade 7 alchemists could understand a bit more.

Zhou Zhou was a talented leader of the younger generation of the Alchemy Pagoda, but he wasn’t as good as Lan Ruo Shui and Lou Mu Yan. Seeing that the two were very proficient in refining grade 8 pills, he also wanted to observe it, so he sped up the refining process of refining his own advanced-level grade 7 pill.

He actually wanted to stop and watch the two refine pills first, but he was also burdened with responsibilities. The championship and runner-up wouldn’t be possible now, but if he didn’t even become the second runner-up, then it’d embarrass his Master.

Lan Ruo Shui and Lou Mu Yan stopped observing each other after they started refining pills, and their entire minds were focused on the process of refining pills. Otherwise, if their mental energy wasn’t focused, it may directly lead to failure.

Time passed little by little, and many of the forty-four people had stopped what they were doing and watched the two with full attention.

Ten hours wasn’t short, and they still had the opportunity to refine, but it may be a lifetime’s regret to miss such grade 8 alchemists refining pills.

Except for refining pills in public during the alchemy competitions, in general, they usually refined pills alone behind closed doors and other people had no chance to watch.

Lou Mu Yan and Lan Ruo Shui’s methods and skills were very superb. The Alchemy Pagoda and many other powerful forces with capital had taken out an Array Recording Crystal to record their alchemy process.

In the Alchemy Pagoda’s private room.

The Pagoda Master revealed appreciation in his eyes, “These two girls are so talented in alchemy, especially Lou Mu Yan. If this old man isn’t mistaken, what she’s refining should be intermediate-level grade 8 pills.”

“What? Intermediate-level grade 8 pills?” The Alchemy Pagoda superiors present couldn’t help being shocked.

Among them were two initial-level grade 8 alchemists, three intermediate-level grade 8 alchemists, two advanced-level grade 8 alchemists, and only the Pagoda Master was a grade 9 alchemist.

If these two girls were successful in refining, wouldn’t the strength of their alchemy abilities be comparable to theirs.

“‘Every generation has its own talent, and the new generation will replace the old’.” An elder sighed, but also said with admiration: “We truly are old.”

“The main reason is that this year’s alchemy competition produced two such geniuses. In previous alchemy competitions, it’s rare for a grade 8 alchemist to emerge.” A middle-aged man said.

“Yes, especially that girl named Lou Mu Yan, her fire control skills and refining techniques are superb. I am truly ashamed of myself. Such talent could only be taught by the Pagoda Master right.” An initial-level grade 8 alchemist sighed.

The Pagoda Master smiled gently and shook his head: “Lou Mu Yan’s talent is excellent, and her alchemy skills and techniques can be considered at master level, even I can’t be her Master.”

With such talent, perhaps without needing many years, she’d even match his current alchemy ability, so how could he be her Master.

“Our Alchemy Pagoda must win over such a talent. There’s a fifty percent chance that she might become a grade 9 alchemist in the future.” Then the Pagoda Master added.

The Deputy Pagoda Master of the Northern State nodded firmly: “I’ll communicate with her after the competition.”

“As long as we can fulfil her conditions, we must satisfy her.” The Pagoda Master said after a moment of silence.

“Yes.”

“By the way, go recruit Lan Ruo Shui as well. She has no sense of belonging to the Lan Clan.” The Alchemy Pagoda Master paused and said.

Another elderly man replied: “I’ve contacted her already, and there is a fifty percent chance that she will join the Alchemy Pagoda.”

“Very good!”

The private room of the Mercenary Union.

A tall, middle-aged, brown-haired man stared at the crystal screen with burning bright eyes and asked An Yu Qian after a while: “What was the result of your contact with Lou Mu Yan before?”

His voice was loud and resounding with a kind of steady energy, and the restrained aura from him couldn’t be ignored by others.

“Reporting to Union Leader, she may have felt that the conditions we set out before weren’t enough, so she hasn’t agreed to join the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union yet.”

An Yu Qian paused, then said: “However, based on what this disciple has observed after interacting with her for over half a year, she is still rather interested in the Mercenary Union.”

“Recruit her into the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union at all costs. Such talent can’t benefit the Alchemy Pagoda and the other large forces.” The Union Leader said casually.

“Union Leader, she’s a member of the Feng Clan and also the future Princess Consort of the Ninth Prince, the Ming Palace Royal Clan wouldn’t let such a genius go right.” A beautiful woman beside the Union Leader said.

“This girl’s very smart, she wouldn’t choose the Ming Palace Royal Clan. She’d receive a lot of restraint because of her relationship with Ming Xiu. How could it compare to the development she’d receive in the other major forces.” The Union Leader said calmly.

“That’s true, this girl’s pretty good, our Mercenary Union is short of a grade 8 alchemist.” The beautiful woman said in agreement.

Such a situation occurred in many private rooms, and many powerful forces were gearing up to recruit Lou Mu Yan and Lan Ruo Shui.

In addition to Emperor Ming’s private room of the Ming Palace Royal Clan, there was another private room for the other superiors, and they were also discussing how to recruit Lou Mu Yan.

Two hours later, Lou Mu Yan finished condensing the pills. She didn’t immediately remove the spirit flame and continued to bake repeatedly.

After another incense stick of time, she removed the spirit flame from the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, and golden pills like the sun jumped out of the cauldron cheerfully.

The pills were suspended in mid-air for a bit before being placed into the pill bottle one by one by Lou Mu Yan.

After she handed the pill bottle to the deputy judge, she walked aside to adjust herself.

Another two hours passed, and Lan Ruo Shui’s pills were also successfully refined.

After watching the process of the two refining the grade 8 pills, many contestants revealed contemplative expressions, especially Zhou Zhou, who felt the deepest.

A total of ten hours later, the final competition ended.

The chief judge on the main seat was scoring the pills of the participating alchemists one by one, and this process took a long time.

After another hour, the eyes of the chief judge, that were originally been calm and composed, were filled with excitement.

“The final match of this competition is officially over. This old man is very honoured to be able to host this competition, as this old man had witnessed dazzling talents of the younger generation.

“I will now announce the final result of this competition.

“Third place is Zhou Zhou, refining five high-quality grade 7 pills, scoring eight points. He scored a total of thirty-two points in the three matches and is the second runner-up in this alchemy competition.

“Second place, Lan Ruo Shui, refining five initial-level middle-quality grade 8 pills, scoring nine points. She scored a total of thirty-six points in the three matches and is the runner-up of this alchemy competition.

“First place, Lou Mu Yan, refining ten intermediate-level peak-quality grade 8 pills, the Golden Sun Pills, scoring ten points, with a total score of forty points in the three matches, making her the champion of this session.”
