Chapter 376
: Purification!
When the time was halfway through, Long Yuyao and Feng Shuang finally walked out of the examination room.
The two of them came out almost at the same time, but Feng Shuang's second floor was closest to the first floor, so he was the first to come down.
Long Yuyao followed closely behind, and seeing that Feng Shuang was the first to come down, she glared at him fiercely and then placed the ten medicine bottles in her hand on the table in front of Long Xiaoyao.
Seeing this scene, Long Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that it was fortunate that he was cautious enough and did not bet with Feng Tiancheng on which tribe would be the fastest to descend from the world, otherwise he would have lost this round.
"Not bad! Ten Ganoderma lucidum were successfully purified. The success rate of purification is 100%. It's a good plus point."
Hearing Long Xiaoyao's praise, Long Yuyao immediately smiled and showed a beautiful smile.
"Don't worry. Our Feng Shuang also purified ten water ganoderma lucidum, and the success rate was also 100%. Since the success rate is the same, we can only compare the quality."
Feng Tiancheng turned his head to look over there, then looked at Feng Shuang in front of him and said, "The rule of the alchemy competition is to take the best bottle of spiritual medicine essence for scoring. Pick the best one for me."
Feng Shuang scratched his head. The ten bottles of water Ganoderma lucidum essence he extracted were almost the same in quality, and it was difficult to tell the difference. It was really difficult for him to choose the best one among the ten bottles of water Ganoderma lucidum essence.
Finally, he picked a bottle at random and handed it to Feng Tiancheng.
Feng Tiancheng took it, opened the bottle cap, looked inside, and at the same time, his soul power also probed in.
He was not the only one who sent his soul power forward. Hundreds of judges also sent their soul power forward. After sensing the essence of the spiritual medicine, they nodded slightly, and some of them smiled with satisfaction.
Wang Hu, the chief alchemist of the Huiyue Empire, laughed loudly and said, "Not bad! Not bad! Ninety percent purity, even I can only achieve this level at my best."
"I never thought that a mere third-grade alchemist could purify the water ganoderma to 90%. Even most fourth-grade alchemists would find it difficult to achieve this level."
"It seems that your Feng family has a genius! I would give this level of spiritual medicine essence a score of 96."
"No, no, the genius of the Long family named Long Yuyao is in no way inferior to Feng Shuang." Feng Tiancheng showed a hint of pride, then turned his gaze to Long Xiaoyao.
"I won't give you a score to avoid suspicion. I wonder how many points Brother Long would you like to give to my clan Fengshuang?"
At this time, Long Xiaoyao had already checked the essence of the spiritual medicine extracted by Long Yuyao, showing a satisfied smile. Hearing the voice, he turned around and said, "I also want to avoid suspicion, so I won't give scores to the geniuses of both sides."
"I wonder how many points Brother Wang is willing to give to the genius of my tribe?" Long Xiaoyao turned to look at Wang Hu and asked with a smile.
Wang Hu used his soul power to sense the essence of the water Ganoderma lucidum extracted by Long Yuyao. After sensing it for a moment, he looked thoughtful.
Both of them are top geniuses in the alchemy world, and the quality of the elixir essences they extract is similar.
In that case, he decided not to offend either side and just give them the same score.
So he looked at Long Yuyao and smiled, "The Emperor of Longteng Empire has a good daughter. She is beautiful and her alchemy skills are outstanding among her peers."
"It's a pity that appearance is not a plus point, otherwise I really want to give you full marks, I will give you 96 points, the same as Feng Shuang."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Long Yuyao said sweetly.
Next, the other judges also began to give scores to the two geniuses. In the end, when the quality of the elixir essences of both sides was almost the same, all the judges, in order not to offend either side, learned to give the same score.
Although each judge gave different scores, since both geniuses were given the same score, the final result was naturally a tie.
When all the judges removed the ten highest scores and the ten lowest scores and finally took the average, Long Yuyao and Feng Shuang both received the highest score of 97 points, ending in a tie.
Long Xiaoyao and Feng Tiancheng both frowned, very dissatisfied with the result.
However, they also knew that the alchemy skills of the two geniuses were indeed on par with each other. Unless one of them could create a larger gap, no matter how many games they played, it would probably end in a draw.
"Haha! It looks like this game is a draw. Let's not worry about each other's pill recipes anymore." Feng Tiancheng looked at Long Xiaoyao, shook his head helplessly.
"Really? That's not necessarily the case!"
Long Xiaoyao looked towards the stairs and saw a handsome young man in black clothes slowly walking down the stairs.
He felt a vague sense of blood connection with this young man. Although the feeling was very faint, he was certain that the boy's surname must be Long.
Maybe this Long family genius can create a miracle? He couldn't help but look forward to it.
There were far more Long family geniuses participating in this alchemy competition than just Long Yuyao. Many of them even came from far away places, and he didn't even know them.
The bet just now was about which genius from the Long and Feng clans had the highest score, not about who had a higher score between Long Yuyao and Feng Shuang.
If suddenly there is a wild genius from the Long family who has a talent for alchemy that surpasses Long Yuyao, then he can also win this bet.
Although this possibility is unlikely, he still holds out hope.
At this moment, all the alchemists in the audience turned their eyes to the young man that Long Xiaoyao was looking at.
Since Long Xiaoyao said so, this boy’s surname is most likely Long. This is not difficult to guess.
Feng Tiancheng raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him with contempt: "Just him?"
"I've never seen him! He's just a nobody!"
Feng Tiancheng smiled disdainfully, and then his expression quickly froze.
When he saw that the young man had ten medicine bottles hidden in his sleeves, his pupils suddenly shrank and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
Few people have a 100% success rate in refining elixirs, and for a genius who can achieve such a success rate, how can the quality of the elixirs he refines be bad? He clenched his fists nervously. Long Xiaoyao naturally saw the ten medicine bottles hidden in his sleeves, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha... my Long family is really full of talents!"
"Long Xuan, right? Not bad, not bad, your last name is Long! I hope you won't let me down!"
After seeing the name written on the token in the young man's hand, he became more certain of this person's identity.
"Let me see your work." As he said this, before Long Xuan came close, he couldn't wait to use his soul power to snatch the ten medicine bottles from his hands and opened the lids of the ten medicine bottles at the same time.
However, he only took a look and his expression changed drastically, and he stood up immediately in shock.
Seeing him lose his composure like this, Long Yuyao and Feng Shuang became curious and immediately sent their soul power over. After finding out its quality, their faces changed.
"One hundred percent purity! How is this possible? How did he do it?" Long Yuyao widened her eyes with an expression of disbelief.
Feng Shuang stared at one of the medicine bottles, slowly clenched his fists, and a look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
He thought that he could sweep away all competitors in this alchemy competition with his alchemy skills.
But this scene now hit him hard, making him truly understand that there is always someone stronger than you.
He had already encountered such a strong opponent at the beginning. How many more monsters like him would he encounter in the finals? At this moment, he was a little unconfident.
"What? 100% purification!"
Hearing Long Yuyao's exclamation, the other judges lost their composure and hurriedly sent their soul powers over.
When the quality of the elixir in the bottle was discovered, everyone was shocked and there was a sound of gasps throughout the audience.
"How is this possible? This is actually the essence of the elixir that has been purified to 100%!"
"Hiss... 100% purity. Even a fourth-grade alchemist can't achieve 100% purity. How did he do it?"
"A genius! What a genius! It looks like a dark horse will emerge in this Western Region Alchemy League!"
The judges all blushed and shouted excitedly, looking extremely out of control, as if a 100% purity degree was a great thing in the alchemy world.
Seeing the reactions of the judges, Long Xuan sighed inwardly. Of course, a 100% purification degree is an incredible thing in the alchemy world.
This requires the alchemist's soul power, flame control ability, and flame intensity to be high to a certain level. Few people can meet these three conditions at the same time.
He practiced the heaven-defying soul-refining technique "The Devil Splitting Divine Art", and with the assistance of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, his soul power is probably not weaker than that of the Gu King, and his soul power is definitely up to standard.
As for the flame, the best spiritual fire was originally unable to refine the spiritual medicine to 100% purity. He had previously purified nine water Ganoderma lucidum, and all of them were 90% pure.
In fact, his speed of refining water Ganoderma lucidum is much faster than Long Yuyao and Feng Shuang.
But he was very cunning and did not go out immediately. He planned to see the level of his competitors before making any plans.
When he used his soul power to sense that Long Yuyao and Feng Shuang below had both refined the Ganoderma lucidum to 90% purity, he knew that even if he went out, he would at best tie with these two geniuses and would never surpass his competitors in points.
So he gritted his teeth and had to use the killer weapon of heavenly fire, using the setting sun divine flame to refine the last water Ganoderma lucidum.
As expected, under the power of the heavenly fire, the last water Ganoderma was refined to 100% purity, which caused the current sensation.
"How is that possible?" Feng Tiancheng's face turned pale. He stood up and rushed to Long Xiaoyao, snatching the bottle of 100% purified elixir essence from his hand.
He carefully checked it countless times, and after confirming that the essence of the elixir in the bottle was indeed 100% pure, his face became even gloomier.
Feng Tiancheng quickly raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes revealing a deeply solemn look. He didn't expect that a dark horse from the Long family would appear halfway, which was greatly beyond his expectations.
This dark horse's alchemy skills are likely to surpass Feng Shuang's, which is definitely not good news for the Feng family.
"Haha! It seems that God has blessed our Long family. I wonder how many points you would give to this genius of our family?"
Long Xiaoyao looked at Feng Tianchengdao with a proud look.
He knew that he was sure to win the bet, and the smile on his face began to grow.
Feng Tiancheng looked at him fiercely and said, "This boy is slow to come out, and the spiritual medicine essence he extracted is relatively dry. The purity of the other nine bottles of spiritual medicine essence is only 90%."
"I have always been very strict with the contestants. I can only give him 90 points!"
Although Feng Tiancheng knew that he was bound to lose the bet, he still decided to try his best to lower the boy's score.
The scores of each round of competition are added up. The higher this boy's score is, the more disadvantageous it is for the Feng family. Therefore, he can only be shameless and act rogue this time.
But he only dared to lower the score to 90 points within the rules. It was unrealistic to lower the score to several dozen points or even zero points, and the consequences would outweigh the gains.
Long Xiaoyao shook his head and sneered, "The rules of the competition are to only select the best bottle of the ten bottles of spiritual medicine essence for scoring."
"You actually included the other nine bottles of inferior quality into the standard. You are really nitpicking."
"I see that the essence of the spiritual medicine extracted by this genius of my clan is extremely perfect. The degree of purity has reached the highest limit and there is no flaw at all."
"I really can't find any fault with it, so I'll give this genius of my clan a perfect score. I don't think anyone will accuse me of being partial, right?"
Long Xiaoyao scanned the faces of the judges and said confidently. (End of this chapter)
