Reincarnation of the God of Medicine
Chapter 333: Analysing pills
"Alright, without further ado I just announce the rules of the game. The first tournament would be conducted by alchemists. There are five rounds in the tournament this time. Each sect was required to appoint five alchemist disciples to represent each round.
With the record if you have won or lost in one round, then the student should not go to the next round."
I will explain the rules of each round, when the winner in the last round has been determined. Since this is the beginning of the round, I will announce the rules of the partama round after the four sects say who will play in the first round.
"First round, I'm the one who will do it" said Sun Ying from the winged dragon sect.
"I will represent my sect in the first round" said Bing Yi from the golden tiger sect.
"My name is Ling Ling, and I will be the representative in the first round" said Ling Ling who is from the silver lion sect.
Meanwhile, the five disciples that Xiao Tian had trained were instead doing hoppas to determine who would advance.
Seeing their overly casual mannerism made the three big sects shake their heads.
"All right, I won. This time let me take everyone's attention," Bai Lu said with a happy smile.
"It seems that the representatives of all the sects have been determined. All right, I'll explain the rules in round one."
"The first round is the theme of general knowledge about herbal ingredients. Participants were assigned to analyze the composition of a pill that had been purified."
"If all participants fail to guess the pill in their hands then the winner will be determined from the number of ingredients that were successfully guessed,"
"The pointer in this round is, all pills are made of seven different ingredients. And you must mention the ingredients within five minutes. Does everyone understand?" general Chen Li asked as he looked at the participants.
"We understand" said the disciples, saluting.
"Alright, then accept this pill!" chen Li said as he threw the four pills out of his pocket.
"Damn, why do I have to get this exam?"
"Identifying the pill ingredients is the hardest method I have yet to master," Bing Yi thought as she frowned.
"This is not my specialist, but I can still guess some of the ingredients of this pill," Sun Ying thought as he analyzed the pill in his hand.
"I can guess all the ingredients of my pills for having gotten the leak. Well even without a leak I can analyze the pill ingredients better than they are. Because this was indeed my specialist from the very beginning," Ling Ling thought with a smile.
Seeing Ling Ling smile, Bai Lu took the initiative to ask the general by raising his hand.
"Anu general, can I exchange pills with Ling Ling?"
"I think my pills are too difficult to analyze, Ling Ling looks happy when receiving pills from you most likely she already knows about the answer in one look. Could he have gotten a leak before?"
"What does your question mean?" chen Li said as he stared intently at Bai Lu's eyes.
"What the hell is with Bai Lu, how dare he say that to the general," Tian Bai thought with a panicked look.
"Quite a general, I accept his request. I don't want my name to be tarnished because everyone thinks that I got the best score because of a leak" Ling Ling said as she scrolled towards general Chen Li.
"Because Lin Ling asked for it, then I allowed you to exchange your pills for her," Chen Li said as he looked down on Bai Lu.
After exchanging the pills, Ling Ling still smiled sinisterly as he thought Bai Lu and the others were no match for him in this round. But right before all started identifying. Bai Lu immediately said the answer.
"This pill is a tier five pill, serving to suppress the power of a berserker in order to control themselves when the mode switch is activated.
This pill was made from the pebble essence of a merapi, one core of a third level fire eagle Beast, one drop of fire hedgehog thorn essence, a drop of fiery dragon saliva, a single red leaf of lavira, a single drop, ten thorns of rainbow fish and half fangs of thorny dragons," Bai Lu said confidently.
"Mu .. impossible. All the ingredients are right on target. Not only that, he explained the ingredients. The leak of the answer I received was just the type of material, not the amount of ingredients used to concoct the pill. He even mentioned the level and usefulness of the pills. This is impossible, how could a new person like him be so much better than me?"
"I'm sure that he must be cheating," Ling Ling thought with a look of annoyance.
"How can you answer that whole?"
"Maybe you got a leak from someone?" general Chen Li asked as he pointed towards Bai Lu.
"Don't I tell you that the pill Ling Ling identified is too easy?" bai Lu said while putting on a relaxed face.
"Stop dodging, it's obviously the hardest pill we've never even heard of before. How could it be so easy?"
"You must have cheated!" sun Ying and Bing Yi said as they heated up the atmosphere because they could not analyze the pills in their hands at all.
"Come on, why did you corner me?"
"These pills were chosen by the general at random. How could I cheat?"
"If you still don't believe me. Then give me your pills, if I manage to guess them within seconds then acknowledge me as the winner and give me the best pill you have" Bai Lu said with so much confidence.
"Agreed!" said the participants while throwing their pills at Bai Lu.
"If you manage to identify the pill. Then you can also bring home all those pills, too" Chen Li said as he looked Bai Lu in the eyes.
"Are you sure general?" bai Lu asked while frowning his forehead.
"A man won't pull anymore he said," General Chen Li said as he looked into Bai Lu's eyes.
"Alright, all these pills are level five pills. Its function is diverse there is a function to raise cultivation, some are functioning to increase age. Bing Yi's pills have a function to increase lifespan, commonly referred to as life pills. Made from rare materials such as, snow flower petals, white lotus dew, golden lotus roots, and four types of thorny rose leaves."
"Sun Yu's Pill has the function of briefly increasing cultivation. Including dangerous pills that force the owner of the body to reach the maximum limit of his body to be able to leave injuries that are severe enough after the effects of using the pill are completed. The materials used to concoct this pill were, the skin of the mountain tiger, a hint of white fire essence, the saliva of the blue dragon, the essence of a king level demon, the scales of a mystical snake, and the blood of a dragon realm swordsman."
"While the pill I exchanged with Ling Ling, it was a tier five pill that had the same function as Sun Yu's pill. It's just that this pill doesn't have the same ill effects as the pill. This pill was made from a drop of holy water, a clove of black garlic, two thousand-year-old pieces of fire ginseng, a drop of blue dragon tears, a glass of black dragon saliva, a hint of blue flame essence, a hint of blue fire essence, and the core of the fifth level ice eagle beast," Bai Lu explained with a confident look.
Everyone except Xiao Tian and the alchemist disciple fell silent rigidly as they stared at general Chen Li to confirm whether the answer was true. General Chen Li, who knew the truth of Bai Lu's reply, was forced to acknowledge his victory and give up his level five pill in order to maintain his dignity.
"I hate to admit it, but all the answers he says are true. I hereby announce that the winner of the first round is Bai Lu from the thorny storm sect" Chen Li said, raising Bai Lu's hand.
Hearing the news of their maiden victory in the alchemist tournament made all the elders of the thorny storm sect cry out in excitement, Tian Bai continued to pinch his face as he had yet to believe what he saw back then.
Meanwhile, the three sects looked so disappointed at failing. Especially the silver lion sect that lost despite already using cunning means.
"Curtain, you can laugh for now. But your sect victory won't be as smooth as the first round" Ling Ling said as he walked past Bai Lu.
"Wait a minute, did you forget something?"
bai Lu asked while frowning.
"Cih, you greedy. You've already got the level five pill, still want to snatch our pill as well?" ling Ling asked while putting on an annoyed face.
"A promise is a promise, unless you are indeed the type of person who always reneges on promises," Bai Lu said as he looked at Ling Ling's back.
"Curtain this!" ling Ling said as he threw a bag of level four pills from behind his clothes.
"Where are your pills?" bai Lu asked as he looked towards Sun Ying and Bing Yi who were trying to escape.
"This ..." said Bing Yi and Sun Ying while thrusting a bag of level four pills with a forced look.
"Good work, my student," Xiao Tian said with a smile on his face.
