The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1512 Choice, One Chance!
When Lin Chen woke up, he had left the brothel.

The arena was already packed with people, with cultivators surrounding it so tightly that many were even floating in mid-air, waiting for the match to begin.

Today marks the start of the most intense and exciting final rounds of the competition. At this point, the remaining thirty-two alchemists are all highly skilled, and the competition will become increasingly fierce and brutal.

Thirty-two contestants gathered at the venue, and the competition rules were announced.

It wasn't the draw or one-on-one elimination tournament that Lin Chen had imagined, but rather a competition with all 32 alchemists participating!
The rules of this competition are relatively difficult. Each alchemist will receive a large box of pre-processed medicinal herbs, which contains at least several hundred kinds of herbs.

The task of an alchemist is to refine a pill using existing medicinal materials within a certain time limit. Whoever refines a pill of higher grade and quality wins!

This round eliminated twenty-four alchemists!
Continue eliminating three-quarters!

Thirty-two to eight!
After hearing the competition topic, Lin Chen immediately understood that this round of testing was a comprehensive assessment of an alchemist's skills.

First, you must identify all these hundreds of medicinal herbs in a very short time. Second, you must complete the permutation and combination in a very short time, determining which combination of herbs can be used to refine which type of pill. You must also determine whether this pill is the highest-grade pill among these hundreds of herbs. Finally, you must refine the pill and ensure that its quality is as high as possible.

The competition time is not long. There is enough time to refine one batch of pills, but not enough time to refine two batches. In other words, each person only has one chance to choose a pill, and the refining process can only be successful and cannot fail.

Choosing a pill that isn't high-grade enough? Failure!
The refining attempt failed! A complete failure!
The quality of the elixir was too low; the attempt failed!
This assessment is very difficult. Even if you find the highest-grade medicinal ingredients, you may not be confident that you can successfully refine it. If you choose a medicinal ingredient that you are confident you can refine successfully, it may not be the highest grade, and you may not be able to win the competition.

This competition is not only a test of real skills, but also a test of an alchemist's ability to make choices and act decisively.

There is only one chance for everything; there is no second chance!
"Game start!"

With a loud shout from the referee supervisor, the thirty-two alchemists simultaneously opened the boxes covered with runes, revealing the various medicinal herbs inside.

With a casual wave of his hand, Lin Chen sent all the hundreds of medicinal herbs in the box flying up and hovering in the air in front of him.

Lin Chen scanned the medicinal herbs one by one with his divine sense, and information about these herbs instantly surged into his mind.

Primordial Wood is the main ingredient for refining the Azure Elixir, but it also requires seven auxiliary ingredients...

Yellow Jade Fruit can be used as the main ingredient to refine Yellow Jade Pills, but its grade is too low, so it's not being considered...

Information on hundreds of medicinal herbs instantly intertwined in my mind.

Five minutes later, Lin Chen finally decided on the pill he wanted to refine. With a wave of his hand, all the other excess medicinal herbs flew back into the box, while the selected herbs landed on the workbench.

Black Bone Pill. The Black Bone Pill that Lin Chen chose was of a high grade, but it wasn't the highest grade pill that could be refined from these herbs. The highest grade should be the Dragon Ascension Pill, but to be honest, Lin Chen wasn't 100% confident.

The ingredients for the Rising Dragon Pill are extremely precious. Although Lin Chen knows the formula and understands the key points of refining it, he has never practiced it. Rather than gambling his life on the Rising Dragon Pill, it is better to settle for second best.

He has refined Black Bone Pills before, and while he wouldn't say he's 100% certain, he's at least 90% confident that he can do it, and the quality of the pills he refines won't be low.

After all, it wasn't a competition for the sole spot; it was a contest between 32 teams to reach 8, so Lin Chen felt there shouldn't be much of a problem.

As Zeng Tongxiu said, advancing to the next round is the most important thing.

If everyone else gambles on the Dragon Ascension Pill and succeeds, then Lin Chen will be convinced and accept the consequences of his bet!
Having made his decision, Lin Chen stopped thinking about it and focused wholeheartedly on refining pills.

He knew very well that there were probably other alchemists refining Black Bone Pills, and if he wanted to win, the quality of his Black Bone Pills had to be extremely high.

Not far from Lin Chen, Zeng Tongxiu also spent about five minutes determining the pill he wanted to refine.

Rising Dragon Pill!
He tried to refine it once in the sect, but he failed that time because of the medicinal materials, and he did not have the opportunity to refine it again.

Although his first attempt at refining failed, Zeng Tongxiu reflected on his mistakes and sought the reasons for his failure. Now, as he tries again, Zeng Tongxiu is confident that he will succeed!

Zeng Tongxiu's actions certainly involved a gamble, but this gamble was based on his past failures and his confidence in his abilities.

After Zeng Tongxiu confirmed his location, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen's position, but the partitions on both sides of each assessment station blocked his view.

He couldn't confirm what medicinal herbs Lin Chen had chosen or what kind of pill he planned to refine.

Not important anymore!

Zeng Tongxiu gritted his teeth, his gaze becoming firm and confident.

As long as I successfully refine the Dragon Ascension Pill and its quality meets or exceeds the standard, I will definitely be the winner!
Lin Chen?

I don't believe he can refine the Dragon Ascension Pill!

I'm sure to win!
