Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

when!

As the deep, resonant chimes rang out, the host took the prepared script and began reading the contents of the first match.

......

Half a day later, one-third of the contestants below had been eliminated.

The first match was of moderate difficulty, testing participants' mastery of pharmacology and practical experience.

Each candidate has three portions of the same type of medicinal herbs on their table, but the alchemist needs to carefully distinguish them, eliminate the portion that does not meet the year requirements, and then extract the medicinal essence of the specified concentration.

For alchemists with rich practical experience, this is not difficult. In fact, alchemists with excellent soul power can find the difference with just a light scan and complete the tempering in less than half an hour.

However, some alchemists with weak foundations may not be able to pass the test.

The alchemists sent by several factions were more or less eliminated.

However, it is worth pondering that Canaan Academy's alchemy department actually eliminated more than a dozen people.

Surprisingly, one second-grade alchemist was eliminated.

Han Feng glanced at Su Qian and Elder Huo, noticing that their faces looked somewhat dark.

Maple City had the fewest alchemists eliminated; only two first-grade alchemists left, which was merely a symbolic gesture.

After all, they are the organizers, so they have a slight advantage in intelligence.

Perhaps Elder Liu placed great emphasis on fundamentals when selecting people.

Without giving the advancing contestants any rest time, the competition quickly moved on to the second round.

The difficulty level remains moderate.

Refine a second-grade pill, the Blood Restoration Pill.

The pill is not particularly difficult to refine, but no recipe is provided; only a list of the required medicinal herbs is given.

The specific dosage and refining method are for the alchemists to figure out themselves.

Another half day passed, and this time half of the contestants were eliminated.

The number of people at Canaan College has decreased by nearly half.

Han Feng nodded. He finally understood that the level of the alchemy department at Canaan Academy was quite average.

Su Qian couldn't bear to watch and gave Elder Huo a look that said, "I want to kill you."

Elder Huo replied with "Take it easy."

He was mentally prepared by now.

The students in the alchemy department were indeed diligent, but most of them had already mastered the method of passing the alchemy exam with minimal effort.

If you don't put these bastards to the test, they'll really think they're invincible.

Now there are only a dozen or so people left at Canaan College.

She had completely lost her initial energy, and her brows revealed a hint of fatigue.

The second competition, in addition to testing alchemy skills, also tested the alchemists' endurance.

Those who manage to pass the first level with all their might, unless they have already refined a Blood Restoration Pill, do not have the energy to keep trying and making mistakes.

Four or five more alchemists from Maple City symbolically left, leaving about ten to participate in tomorrow's finals.

Han Feng glanced at Elder Liu, who was nodding knowingly, with an expression of complete control.

Fortunately, I didn't go too far.

Han Feng shook his head.

With the conclusion of the second match, today's competition has come to an end.

The group left one by one, and Han Feng also returned to the bamboo house with the women. A large number of Maple Forest Guards were dispatched from the city to patrol the area.

Chapter 52 Finals

"Today's competition was so boring!"

Medusa begins her sharp critique.

The snake-people race has very few alchemists, so she didn't know how difficult it was for a low-level alchemist to grow into a skilled one.

Aside from those exceptionally gifted geniuses, alchemy is a profession that becomes more sought after with age.

We shouldn't be too demanding of young people.

"Didn't you see that was the Youth Alchemist Competition?"

Han Feng replied that, at least in his opinion, there were a few pretty good young alchemists among them.

"I won't go tomorrow, I'm going out to gather herbs."

Medusa didn't want to waste any time and decided to continue being a diligent little trans woman.

"Come back soon, we're going to Canaan Academy in a few days."

"Canaan College?"

"Yes, there are large magical beast forests near Canaan Academy, where the energy of heaven and earth is abundant. You can go there to collect herbs."

As Han Feng spoke, he gave Medusa an encouraging smile.

"There will definitely be great gains."

Medusa was successfully fooled and nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.

“Cai’er, you and Medusa will be together then.”

"Ok!"

Cai'er happily agreed.

Medusa pursed her lips, but didn't object anymore.

Now that things have come to this, she has come to terms with reality. Complaining is useless; it's better to accumulate energy and break through as soon as possible.

She could feel that her body was improving very quickly.

Within two years, she will be able to attempt to break through to the Dou Huang realm and return to her former level.

Tonight, Han Feng began teaching Lin Xian'er some basic knowledge about the "Poison Pill Technique".

Lin Xian'er was just one step away from breaking through to the advanced level of Dou Qi, and it was time for her to start learning about the Qi refining steps in the "Poison Pill Method".

After teaching Lin Xian'er, Han Feng did not neglect Ye Qingyun either.

After all, she possesses the Green Wood Longevity Physique; otherwise, Han Feng wouldn't have kept her by his side.

First, he taught her the cultivation method of the "Qingyang Immortal Scripture" for a while, and then Han Feng began to examine her body.

Han Feng didn't know much about the Green Wood Longevity Body, only that a Supreme Elder of the Central Plains Flower Sect also had this physique.

"That's right, the source of life is constantly growing stronger. Have you felt that your cultivation speed has increased a lot recently?"

"Yes, I don't know if this is normal."

Han Feng smiled and said, "Of course it's not a normal phenomenon."

Ye Qingyun was startled.

Then Han Feng continued, "Ordinary cultivators don't get this kind of benefit."

"Phew... Master, you scared me to death."

Ye Qingyun said reproachfully, as she thought there was something wrong with her.

"Don't worry, just continue your practice as usual. If you don't understand anything about the techniques, remember to ask me."

"Ah."

"go to bed early."

Han Feng returned to his room, meditated for a while, then took out the Heavenly Origin Flower and continued practicing the Heavenly Origin Finger technique.

This third finger represents the connection with all things.

It is no easy task to achieve complete opening; consuming five Heavenly Origin Flowers is only the initial tempering of the meridians in the thumb.

"Three fingers cover life."

Han Feng opened his palm, folded his ring and little fingers together, and slightly tightened the other three fingers to form a special energy sphere.

By embedding the sphere inside any object, a special mark can be formed. It is very subtle, but Han Feng can sense it.

This is a basic usage; a more advanced use is to cover all living beings on a continent and mark them.

When Han Feng first started practicing, he felt that this finger technique was useless, but he had no choice but to practice it because of the powerful moves that followed.

It wasn't until he reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Origin Finger technique that he realized how important it was to connect with all things.

However, Han Feng's current cultivation level is not enough to support him to reach such a profound level. Perhaps only when he breaks through to the Dou Zong level, or even the Dou Zun level, can he regain mastery.

The next day, Han Feng and his group boarded a carriage and headed to the competition venue. Along the way, he used the Heavenly Finger to mark the girls.

The venue was packed with people again today. The staff worked overnight to make the venue more luxurious, especially for the winners of yesterday.

Han Feng arrived at the high platform, and everyone took their seats.

Just as everything was progressing steadily, two hoarse laughs suddenly came from the sky.

"Maple City is really lively today."

Two figures, one in gold and one in silver, streaked across the sky and landed on the high platform.

"The two elders, Jin and Yin."

Han Feng looked at the two of them calmly.

"Haha, I just came out of seclusion and heard the news that the Medicine King is holding a medicine-making competition. We didn't miss the finals, did we?"

The two of them were very casual and went straight to Han Feng.

Some leaders of smaller factions were surprised, unsure of the origins of these two individuals, who were so arrogant.

It's no wonder they didn't recognize each other. The two elders, Jin and Yin, were usually elusive and their acquaintance with Han Feng stemmed from a previous business deal.

“You have come at just the right time.”

As Han Feng spoke, he recalled things about the other person in his mind.

These two are twin brothers who possess a powerful secret technique for combining their powers.

With their current strength as nine-star Dou Huangs, they can fight against Dou Zong experts once they combine their powers.

Han Feng valued their combat prowess and thus befriended them.

Han Feng had two more seats added, and the two elders, Jin and Yin, didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

The minor incident did not affect the overall situation, and the competition proceeded as scheduled.

The third match, which was the final of this alchemy competition, didn't involve any new tricks. All the contestants were given the recipe for the Grade 3 high-level pill, Clear Water Pill, along with three portions of the corresponding medicinal materials.

The quality of the final refined elixir will be the criterion for selection.

If the quality is the same, then compare the amount of medicinal materials used; the one using only one dose will rank higher than the one using two doses.

As soon as the details of the finals were announced, the alchemist contestants in the arena quickly began to think of strategies.

Clear Water Pill is a type of detoxifying pill, and it is most appropriate to use the condensation and tempering method and the intense dispersion method. However, how to refine the highest quality pill in actual combat still depends on the alchemists' own skills.

There are many variables involved, including the grade of the flame, the grade of the medicine cauldron, and the strength of the soul power, among others.

However, Han Feng has made a small adjustment to the rules. Elder Liu had originally added the "time" factor as a key evaluation criterion.

However, considering that the backgrounds of different contestants come from the power behind them, Han Feng removed the time-based evaluation factor. As long as the alchemist completes the alchemy within the specified time, they are eligible to participate in the selection.

In this way, even if the quality of the flame and the cauldron is inferior to others, if the alchemy skills are superb, high-quality pills can still be produced.

Han Feng wanted to see just how far these young alchemists could go, given their best efforts.

As time passed, the players on the field demonstrated their respective strengths.

Some people unleashed high-level beast fire, while others brought out high-level medicine cauldrons.

Although the time factor is eliminated, these wealthy contestants will lose some advantages, but the superiority of high-level beast fire and high-level medicine cauldrons in improving the quality of pills cannot be erased.
