Chapter 268: Talent (1/2)
Wan Li, Zhou Mei, and Fan Ruogang all walked out of the barrier and went into the arena. Inside was a section separated entirely for pill-making.
It was a similar place to the artifact-making section, and thus had small openings on the ground from where the fire was constantly burning.
They walked up to their place and were given an empty storage bag. They were made to keep the pill's ingredients in the storage bag and give all their storage bags away except the one they had provided.
Everyone took their one storage bag and walked up to a random seating area. Not a single one of them was provided a pill cauldron as at this level they were all expected to have one of their own.
All 3 of the disciples took out their own pill cauldrons as expected. It was hard to tell a cauldron's grade just from looking at the visual information, but each of them at the very least held a Common Heaven grade cauldron.
The information from this morning had a bit of info to get the participants ready, but the host needed to explain it in detail and to the audience.
The host was the one from Alex's last competition and he started speaking.
”Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Fastest pill-making competition. Without delay, I will explain how this competition will work.”
”You each have chosen to make a pill of your own choice and have thus prepared your own ingredients. You will get one shot, one opportunity to make the pill.”
”You are considered to have completed the task if you make a pill and quickly run up front and put it inside any one of the pill testers that will be laid out soon.”
”If the harmony crosses over 25%, you will have completed the task. If not, you will have failed and will not be in the final ranking,” the host said.
”You will be disqualified if your ingredients burn or your cauldron explodes. You will be disqualified if you intentionally create disturbances for the other participants.”
”You will be disqualified if we find out that you cheated during the pill making process in any way. That is all,” the host said.
”Now prepare,” he said.
Everyone started heating their cauldron and got ready. The competition would begin the moment they put in their first ingredients.
Once everyone was ready, The host gave the go. ”Start.”
Immediately, the entire group of participants poured in their first ingredient and started constantly stirring it. Wan Li, Zhou Mei, and Fan Ruogang did the same.
They now had 5 more ingredients to go.
One of the methods to making a pill fast was choosing a recipe that didn't have a lot of ingredients. The lesser ingredients there were, the faster one could complete making the pills. That was obvious.
As such, all the participants had chosen a pill that required ridiculously few ingredients. The recipe that the Hong Wu sect disciples chose was a simple pill called Gorilla strength pill.
