Li Zongjiu and the others were resting in a waiting room.
Yang Xuelin was explaining the rules of the competition to them.
"Today's competition will be an elimination round. Every academy will send out five people, which is the five of you."
"In the knockout round, three people will go on stage at the same time. The three great academies will each send one person. The third place will be eliminated on the spot. In other words, five people will be eliminated tonight. As students of the Heavenly Dawn Medicine Manor, if you can't even pass the first round of the competition, you will have to deal with it yourself.
Yang Xuelin said.
However, it was very possible for them to lose the competition. However, they still had a chance. After all, two out of the three of them would advance, which gave them a great chance.
Purple Pill Academy's resting place.
Meng Yu woke up with a gloomy face.
He, Meng Yu, grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth. He enjoyed the love and compliments of others. Later on, he was respected and revered. How could he be slapped in the face by such a person?
Therefore, Meng Yu was extremely angry.
Moreover, he was knocked unconscious in front of so many people.
He was a person who would become a king in the future.
Such a great insult was hard for Meng Yu to accept.
Even now, no one dared to talk to him. He just sat there alone.
He was breathing heavily.
His whole body was surrounded by a gloomy and terrifying light. If he were to get close to him, he would be stabbed. If he was careless, he would not be able to complain.
"Don't worry. I have already inquired about the competition. Both sides will bathe in flames to refine pills. At that time, you will have the chance to do what you want to do. The most important thing now is to enter the finals!"
Bathing in flames to refine pills.
Both sides were placed in flames to refine pills. Not only did they have to refine the pills successfully, but they also had to be careful of the flames. In such an environment, the situation of furnace explosion was very common.
It was equivalent to refining pills in an extreme environment. Those who could succeed were naturally not ordinary people.
Hearing those arrogant words, Meng Yu slightly raised his head, revealing a pair of terrifying eyes.
"I will not kill him. I will keep his life. I will slowly play with him, slowly torture him. I will let him know what it means to live a life worse than death!
What it means to live a life worse than death! "
On the pill refining field.
An instructor from the Four Seas Medicine Manor appeared in the arena.
Glancing at the passionate students around him, he first gave an impassioned speech. At the same time, he also thanked the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. After a brief introduction, he began to move on to the main topic.
"The purpose of this exchange competition is to strengthen the interaction between the three great academies. You must stop when you're fighting!"
"The first round of the competition has officially begun. The rules of this round are that each of the Three Great Academies will send one person to the stage. The three of them will refine a designated elixir at the same time. The one who succeeds first will be the winner. In addition, the herbs and props provided in this round of competition are all from the Four Seas Medicine Manor. They have been inspected by the Heavenly Pill Pavilion Elders and are absolutely fair!"
Behind him, three medicinal cauldrons were carried up by three strongmen.
In addition to the cauldron, there was also a stone table with some medicinal herbs on it.
Any one of the medicinal herbs here was extremely precious, and within the Four Seas Academy, the majority of the people rarely saw these precious medicinal herbs here.
All of them became excited.
"Oh my god, they actually used the Jade Lotus Core as a tool for the competition. Isn't this too extravagant?"
"A Jade Lotus Core outside is worth at least five hundred thousand gold coins. There are three on this table. What extravagance!"
Right now, only the students of the Four Seas Medicine Manor were allowed to watch the competition. If it were to be opened to the public and the people of the Royal City came to watch, then ordinary people would not be able to imagine how terrifying the competition would be. It would be an act of burning money.
Every single medicinal herb was incomparably precious.
After a few rounds of the competition, the amount of medicinal herbs that were burned was also extremely terrifying.
It was precisely because of this that the amount of funds needed to organize such a competition was also incomparably huge.
If the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor were to pay for it, the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor would definitely not be willing. Although the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor's resources were abundant, most of them were invested in the students. Therefore, the academy could not be considered very wealthy.
However, if one were to talk about the ability to cash in, any instructor from the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor would be a terrifying money-sucking machine.
As long as they spread the word, there would definitely be an endless stream of money rolling in.
In the Four Seas Academy, there were more disciples from the four great clans' businesses. They were all related to each other and some of them had extremely good relationships with each other. However, if one were to talk about money, the majority of them did not have the ability to do so. Seeing the medicinal herbs that were worth millions of gold coins placed on the table, they were all shocked.
Their hearts were definitely shaken.
Looking at the alchemists on the stage, a kind of high fighting spirit rose in everyone's hearts. There would be a day when they would be like them and possess powerful strength. The medicinal pills that they casually refined were all refined with incomparably precious medicinal herbs.
The list of participants had already been prepared and submitted. Then, they would appear on the stage according to the order. No one knew who they would encounter.
The Heavenly Star Medicine Manor was the first to go on stage.
It was the Medicine Sovereign's disciple, Mo Su Li!
As an influential figure in the Royal City, the fame of Mo Suli's name was obviously higher than Li Zongjiu and the others. Moreover, the fame that Li Zongjiu carried was not a positive influence in itself.
As the disciple of the Medicine Sovereign, Mo Suli herself was a peerless beauty. Her body carried a noble aura. When she walked out, she gave people a feeling of nobility. It was precisely this kind of lofty and otherworldly aura that caused the entire audience to cheer and sway.
"That's the Medicine Sovereign's disciple. My god, this aura is simply like a fairy descending to the mortal world!"
"I want to be her fan!"
“
"How good would it be if I could be friends with her!"
Countless people's eyes were also looking at Mo Suli. Their saliva was about to drip out. If others were to see such a lecherous appearance, they would inevitably feel disdain. However, there was no other sound in the arena. After all, the majority of people also had such an appearance.
"Hmph, I have to admit that she's indeed more elegant than me!"
Many girls who thought that they were beautiful felt a sense of inferiority in front of Mo Suli's aura. They couldn't even raise their heads.
Although Mo Suli was also outstanding in the Heavenly Star Medicine Manor, the effect of her aura was not so strong. Now that she was here, her aura was released to the extreme.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. She really brings her own aura."
Mu Qingyun, who was behind her, also praised. Such beauty should only exist in the heavens.
"I wonder who came out from the other two great academies."
A tall man from the Purple Pill Academy walked up. The man looked a little thin and weak. His face was yellow and emaciated, giving off a feeling of malnutrition. It was as if a gust of wind would blow him away.
However, the other party was not attracted by Mo Suli's aura. It was as if in his eyes, there was only the medicinal cauldron in front of him. As for women, he had no interest at all.
"If this person didn't guess wrongly, that should be Shi Shu from the Shi Family. Rumour has it that this person is suffering from a terminal illness. Originally, he wouldn't be able to live past fifteen years. However, this person doesn't believe in fate. He researched medicinal herbs and scriptures and actually managed to extend his life until now. If he had two more years, he might be able to find a cure for that terminal illness."
Mu Qingyun was indeed worthy of being a disciple of an aristocratic family in the Monarch City. He was very familiar with the origins of many people.
For the Purple Pill Academy to send out such a valiant person, it must be because they wanted to directly take the first victory.
However, when the contestant from the Four Seas Academy walked out.
Everyone from the Four Seas Academy was silent.
They all used the most worshipful gaze to look at the white-clothed girl who slowly walked up to the alchemy platform.
When she walked over, it was as if she didn't carry any weight or sound. It was as if no one could hear her.
However, no one could ignore her!
"Senior Sister Yanran will win!"
"Senior Sister Yanran will win!"
There were earth-shattering roars from the surroundings. This was the difference between home and away. Everyone around was the support group of the Four Seas Medicine Manor. Therefore, the opponent's momentum was huge. It was easy to form pressure. Under such pressure, it was inevitable that some mistakes would occur.
Qi Yanran's expression was calm.
Her expression was calm. There was a straw rope tied around her wrist. When she went up, she stood quietly in front of the cauldron that belonged to the Zi Family. She didn't say anything and just stood there.
"It's actually her!"
When Mu Qingyun saw Qi Yanran go up, his expression changed.
It was obvious that Qi Yanran gave Mu Qingyun a lot of pressure. He deeply knew how terrifying Qi Yanran's strength was.
In the Four Seas Medicine Manor, only Qi Yanran and Jiang Bieyuan could pose a threat to them.
He didn't expect that the first one to go up would be Qi Yanran.
It just so happened that she encountered a battle with Mo Suli. This competition was going to be exciting.
Both of them had thousands of halos supporting them. What kind of sparks would be created when they collided in the arena? In comparison, Shi Shu seemed to be somewhat overshadowed.
However, Li Zongjiu looked at Shi Shu with interest.
"He's quite amazing to be able to live until now with such a terminal illness."
It wasn't a big deal to be able to have such achievements if he was born healthy and had talent. However, Shi Shu was different. He had such a terminal illness. If he didn't work hard, he might die. How could he not persevere?
"If I'm not wrong, Shi Shu's terminal illness is called the Withered Pulse Disease. When an ordinary person is born, their body will be full of vitality. However, this Withered Pulse Disease causes Shi Shu's vitality to rapidly fade from the moment he was born!"
