183. Chapter 183 Do you eat grilled fish?
The fine rain wets everything it passes. On rainy days, it is always so unhappy.
But it was a good weather to sleep heavily.
After Qi Lan returned to the room, she chatted with Ye Shuo for a few words, then fell asleep and did not wake up until the evening.
In fact, Qi Lan was awakened by a scent of fragrance. Ye Shuo actually bought supper to eat in the room. The first thing Qi Lan did when she woke up was to eat it very much, which made him particularly moved Ye Shuo and brought his portion.
After dinner, Qi Lan said that she didn't want to go out. Ye Shuo asked him what to do with his Qingfeng Fengyun Pill.
Qi Lan hesitated for a moment, "Anyway, I can't catch up with the time of the Alchemist Competition, so I don't care about it!" He lay down again with peace of mind, "It's useless to cram the Buddha for the moment now." He seemed to be making himself lying more understandable, so he added.
"I can't be considered a temporary cram, I'm a temporary alchemist..." Ye Shuo looked at Qi Lan, "Qi Lan, what would happen to Master if you got the last place?"
"..." Qi Lan sat up, "Senior Brother! I won't let you get the last one! If you don't understand, just ask me! Ask me if you have any questions!"
After that, Qi Lan felt that he was talking big. First of all, he had to answer Ye Shuo's various questions with clear ideas, and also had to keep up with Ye Shuo's strange rhythm when he was thinking about the problem from time to time. He finally said that he couldn't stand it anymore, "Senior brother, I'm willing to give in to the disadvantage!"
He suddenly began to look forward to the alchemist competition that Ye Shuo participated in. The elixirs refined by Ye Shuo will definitely be impressive. Even in the history of the alchemist competition, it has left a brilliant mark, because Ye Shuo is so...the idea is so clear.
The days that followed were passed by Ye Shuo, a temporary alchemist.
Seven days later, it was finally time for the Alchemist Competition.
Ye Shuo no longer seems so passive, but on the contrary he is quite confident in himself.
However, Qi Lan expressed concern about this, because Ye Shuo had broken at least five or six medicine cauldrons, and the only result was a small Tianlei Pill.
But the sky thunder pill was finally broken by a sky thunder summoned by Ye Shuo. Ye Shuo said innocently: "I just said there is no need to summon a thunder."
Qi Lan's mouth twitched when she saw it.
In fact, the so-called Thunder Pill can allow anyone who takes it to cast thunder skills regardless of the foundation. Therefore, most alchemists will induce a thunder to apply it after the Thunder Pill is completed, so that the effect looks better, but it is actually useless.
But Ye Shuo's thunder slashed down like he had a grudge against that thunder elixir. Qi Lan still remembered that when he saw Ye Shuo finally refined a small pill, he was extremely excited, but before he could be happy for a long time, he heard Ye Shuo say, "Do you still have to slash down?"
When Qi Lan just wanted to stop him and said no, he heard a loud "boom". It was like a thunder thunder on the ground, which scared him so much that he bounced off the ground. Even the unknown people in the Alchemist Guild were shocked, thinking that some room had been blown up.
The purple lightning as thick as a bowl whizzed past the sky, "Bang!" and even the nearby bluestone bricks were blown open to the cracks, not to mention the poor Tianlei Pill, which had long been destroyed, leaving only a small pool of fragments on the ground, proving that Ye Shuo had indeed refined a Tianlei Pill.
"It's really worrying..." Qi Lan looked at Ye Shuo with a excited face.
The alchemist competition was held in a suburb outside Dingtian City. Ye Shuo and Qi Lan hurriedly set off.
"It's really strange, why do you have to go to that kind of place to compete?" Ye Shuo was puzzled, so Qi Lan frowned, "No need to think about it. It must be that guy Chi Yunshi who came up with it, and he likes to do these evil ways."
The two arrived at the competition site not long after, and then they discovered that the venue used for the competition had been wrapped in a barrier. From the outside, they could only see a layer of shining film, and they could not know what was happening inside.
The entrance was in the southwest. When Ye Shuo and Qi Lan arrived at the entrance, there were already crowds of people, at least no less than a hundred people.
"This time there are auditions first, and at least more than 10,000 people will come to participate." Qi Lan said on tiptoe.
"More than 10,000 people!" This was a bit beyond Ye Shuo's expectations. He thought that one hundred were the most, but he didn't expect it... But in this case, there would be someone who was worse than mine, right? Ye Shuo was already comforting himself.
Since you have to register to enter the venue and check with the information you registered at the time of registration, you have to enter the venue very slowly. Due to the large number of people, Ye Shuo and Qi Lan have to doze in the queue.
So Ye Shuo asked Qi Lan: "As the champion of the last competition, do you have no preferential services?"
At this time, Qi Lan suddenly realized: "Hey!? I seem to be able to walk through the VIP channel!"
The breeze was blowing gently, and in the stands, Ye Shuo and Qi Lan sat on a spacious chair. The tea table beside them was filled with freshly brewed four-season spring tea, which was emitting a light tea fragrance. They were looking at the people lined up like ants at the door.
"How long will it take to wait for everyone to come in? If I had known this, I might as well come later." Qi Lan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, narrowed her eyes, and wanted to take a break.
"It turned out to be Qi Lan, long time no see." A delicate voice sounded. Listening to this voice, Ye Shuo and Qi Lan had goose bumps at the same time.
The person who spoke was a woman in a jealous red dress, very young. She was wearing extremely gorgeous makeup, with a unique and elegant bun on her head, and a red gold silk-pinned flower that was slanted. She was charming, but not tacky.
Qi Lan suddenly turned dark, "I really hope I will never see you in my life." His answer was very cold.
But the woman in red didn't care. She turned around and saw Ye Shuo and said, "Qi Lan, is this your friend? Oh, I heard that Master Yunxing has accepted a new disciple, you are right?" She looked at Ye Shuo with a smile, with her eyes curved, like a kitten with squinting eyes.
"Speaking to her will cause poisoning." Qi Lan pulled Yeshuo and shook her head.
"How could I be so scary?" The woman in red wanted to say something, but she was called away. Before leaving, she didn't forget to give her a flirtatious look, "I saw her on the field during the game~"
It was not until the woman in red left that Qi Lan pulled Ye Shuo and said, "That man was called Chong Shuyao, and he was the first disciple of Chi Yunshi. Refining medicine is powerful, but drug production is better than that. In short, it is right to stay away from her."
"It's related to that Chiyun World?" Ye Shuo curled his lips.
"Ah, I also heard..." A very gossipy expression suddenly appeared on Qi Lan's face. He looked around and back, and after confirming that there was no one around him, he said to Ye Shuo: "In addition to the master-apprentice relationship, Chong Shuyao and Chi Yunshi are also lovers."
"Puff..." Ye Shuo almost squirted the Four Seasons Spring Tea in his mouth on Qi Lan's face. What a complicated relationship... Ye Shuo could not imagine.
Qi Lan wanted to continue talking, but suddenly the voice of the host came from the judges' seat. It seemed that the competition was about to begin.
So, Ye Shuo and Qi Lan sat on the chair and listened to the host began to talk a lot of nonsense. The opening words were just a few sentences, and they might have copied the previous year's previous year.
Qi Lan said in a chat: "He said the same thing last year..."
It was not until the host began to introduce the judges that Ye Shuo and Qi Lan were slightly excited.
There are twenty judges, all of whom are pharmacists above the fifth grade. Chi Yunshi is also in it, but there is no Master Yunxing.
Qi Lan told Ye Shuo that it was because Master Yunxing went to help him refine the Jiuxiao Pill, and Ye Shuo felt crazy and moved.
"Since it's an audition, there are no strict regulations in this competition. As long as the elixirs are refined, more than half of the twenty judges on the judges' seats will be recognized, they will be considered passing. This competition requires everyone to play their strengths. Everyone, please show yourself!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there were noises coming from below, "What is the way of competition?" Someone said incomprehensible.
"This method is also good. You can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Just refine the pills you are good at!" Some people also like it very much.
"Quiet, everyone, everyone." The host continued: "The location of this competition is this suburb. All the materials you choose in this area. After obtaining the materials, go to the pharmacy east to refine medicine. However, there are only one hundred medicine cauldrons in the pharmacy, everyone, first come first served. The competition time starts from now until before dark. Come on, everyone!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd of dark people from the audience began to rush towards the competition area, fearing that he would fall behind.
Qi Lan also wanted to leave quickly, but Ye Shuo was in a daze.
"Senior brother, let's go quickly." Qi Lan, regardless of whether Ye Shuo had come to his senses or not, captured him directly.
"You can do anything?" Ye Shuo murmured to himself, as if he had thought of something.
The wild forests in the suburbs are filled with wild flowers and weeds.
There are also many common dandelions and hawthorns, some schizonepeta, snail beetle, snail pot grass, etc. These can be used for refining medicines, and the method is simple and the success rate is extremely high. However, the elixirs refined are too ordinary, and the judges will never agree to pass it.
Rare things like berry, marina, and cherry are not considered special raw materials, but many people have started to pick them in case of emergency. If you can find more advanced raw materials, you can use more advanced ones. If you can't find them, you can use them as well.
Qi Lan also gave Ye Shuo some berry, but he didn't prepare for himself. Ye Shuo suddenly felt like a stumbling block...
Someone found a mysterious dogwood plant not far away. A small dogwood plant grew alone on the edge of a small trough, and it was not yet fully mature.
Xuanguang Cornuscus can be regarded as the most advanced among the second-grade medicinal materials. Many people like it and no one wants to give it to anyone. As a result, a group of people fought.
First, two people fought, but the third person took the opportunity to pick it, and then was beaten by the two previous two people. Then the fourth person took the opportunity to pick it, and then was beaten by the three previous people. Just like snowballing, more and more people participated in the fight. It was not like an alchemist competition, but it was completely a group fight competition for alchemists, comparing who had higher strength.
A group of alchemists felt that fighting was not enough, and some people began to cast spiritual skills. For a moment, various spiritual skills were flashing beside the small mysterious dogwood.
I don’t know who it was, but by accident, a spiritual blade slashed over and directly slashed the mysterious dogwood.
Suddenly, the alchemists who were still fighting each other were silent...
"Is this kind of competition very lively?" Chi Yunshi said to the president of the Alchemist Guild with a smile, "My proposal is still good."
The president sat in the judges' seat and looked at the alchemists who were beaten into balls for a higher medicinal herb. He didn't know what to do on his face. "It's so infuriating! It's not a game!" He said in his heart.
On the competition venue, Qi Lan and Ye Shuo separated. They still felt that they were moving faster separately. The two went to look for raw materials separately and agreed on the time. After an hour, no matter whether they found high-end medicinal materials or not, they all gathered in the pharmacy.
Ye Shuo walked towards the plain to the south, and Qi Lan walked towards the high ground to the west.
Qi Lan was particularly depressed. He could now confirm that behind him, a large number of people were following him intentionally or unintentionally. Qi Lan was recognized early in the morning as the champion of the previous alchemist competition. The idea of the stalker was that with the champion of the previous year, there was meat to eat. The plants and trees Qi Lan had paid attention to along the way must be unusual. Even if he couldn't get the most expensive raw materials, he could get several high-grade raw materials.
Qi Lan naturally knew what they were thinking, so she picked up a bunch of dandelions and hawthorns along the way, and stopped for a long time before a few dog-tail grasses, looking like she was observing them carefully.
Sure enough, after Qi Lan left the dogtail grass, some of the followers really went to pick the dogtail grass, and said while picking it: "It seems that these dogtail grass must have something special!"
Qi Lan was so amused and laughed.
But at this moment he was also a little worried about his situation. After all, being stared at by such a bunch of people, if he really found some advanced raw materials, he would definitely not escape their eyes. It would be fine if he was just these ordinary alchemists. If he was stared at by some difficult guys, even if he found advanced raw materials, he would be just helping others find them.
After thinking about it, Qi Lan decided to find Ye Shuo. Although he didn't know how high Ye Shuo's martial arts value was, no matter what, he was always much higher than himself.
Qi Lan walked south and never saw Ye Shuo. To the south, there was a stream, and there seemed to be no one going there. Qi Lan was about to change direction when she suddenly smelled a particularly fragrant smell... the smell of grilled fish?
As if he was a tragic person, Qi Lan walked along the stream along the smell of grilled fish and saw a familiar figure appearing in front of him.
Ye Shuo turned around and saw Qi Lan, so he asked, "Can you eat grilled fish?"
Chapter completed!
