C410 (2/2)

Bang! An explosion resounded through the sky as the first pill furnace on the stage exploded. He was also the first to be eliminated.

”No, I was too nervous so I misplaced the medicinal plant. Give me another chance, I'm begging you.” From the looks of it, he was looking forward to becoming a medicine boy who would bring glory to his family. It was a pity that his talent was not enough and he did not have the financial resources to train him properly, otherwise, he might be able to become an alchemist and refine some pills to support his family.

However, no one paid attention to his clothes or words. He was eliminated just like that.

After the first loser appeared, the huge stage exploded one after another. The explosions were uncontrollable as they went on and on. Perhaps it was the first failure that affected their mental state.

”Hey, little guy, give me some of your medicine ingredients. I'm muddled, make another serving.” The person who came was smiling amiably. Seeing that Shui Qinan was a woman, and felt that it should be easy to bully, and that she should have a kind heart, he said.

Shui Qinan glanced at the man indifferently, but did not say anything, and continued to refine the pellet expressionlessly. The most important part of the pellet had already been completed, so she did not need to keep on focusing on it, and Shui Qinan ignored the man, continuing to refine his own pellet at a casual pace.

”Hmph, even if you don't give it to me, how long do you think you can hold on for? I'll see how long you can hold on before you explode.” The alchemist next to Shui Qinan said as she looked at Shui Qinan with disdain. She didn't know why, but Nalan Continent had a widespread discrimination against females. Every man felt that they were much stronger than females.

”Oh.” Shui Qinan laughed coldly, these words were not enough to anger him, it was just that it was annoying to keep people clamoring by his ear while she was refining pills. Shui Qinan didn't even give him a glance as she continued to pay attention to her own pill furnace, waiting for the person to leave and not disturb her again.

Time slowly passed and the pill furnaces continued to explode one by one.

”Time is up. Participants, please close the furnace.”

”Do you smell a very fragrant aroma?”

”It's really fragrant.”

”The number of people that have advanced in this round will be 78. Our third match has also officially begun. This third match will be decided by the number and quality of the pills in the second round!” The old man announced loudly.

The crowd went into an uproar. Out of a thousand people, there were only seventy-eight that remained. Some people thought that if it were them, they might be one of those seventy-eight Li's. They couldn't help but feel pity.

”Next, we will have the Holy Medicinal Pavilion's pharmacists go over to inspect.”

The only seventy-eight people left on the stage were still somewhat nervous.

”The quantity and quality of a single batch of medicinal pellets can be seen just how great the potential of an alchemist is. Our Holy Medicinal Pavilion will make this year's selection of extraordinary people, so the requirements are naturally extremely high. I think all participants should be clear about this point. ”

The old man slowly said as he took the chance to examine the pill furnaces of the participants. After a long while, the alchemists finished inspecting the pill furnaces of the participants and handed the statistics to the old man on the platform. The old man frowned, but only for a split-second.

”Everyone, the results are out. There are a total of 18 people who leveled up this round. The next round of the competition will be decided by our Holy Medicinal Pavilion's elders. ”

Shui Qinan indifferently swept a glance at the few elders who were seated behind the old man, and thought that these were the elders from the Holy Medicinal Pavilion.

”Everyone here must be dragons and phoenixes among humans, all of you can enter the Holy Medicinal Pavilion, it's just that the medicinal pellets here have been mixed up, there is no need for the original test, the few of you can arrange the grades of these medicinal pellets from top to bottom, and I'll take him in as my medicine boy for the highest.” The Sixth Elder spoke slowly, giving off the impression of a master from the outside world.
