Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.191 - The Boring Alchemy Tournament
On the first day of the Alchemy Tournament there was an elimination round, due to the large number of participants, in one round there would be 100 participants of which there would only be 10 participants entering the next round.
The first round was to concoct a tier 2 pill, the participants had to concoct a tier two pill of the highest quality they could concoct.
Of course the tools and ingredients were already provided by the Mountain God Medicine party, the participants could use the ingredients that had been provided, but could also use their own herbal ingredients to make the pills they wanted.
Each of the 100 participants who started the contest, will be accompanied by a young woman who will be their respective assistants, will also be an appraiser who assesses the pills they make.
The first day tournament began.
Several rounds have passed and hundreds of participants have been eliminated. Xiang Yang himself still did not get his turn.
Round after round passed and finally in the 30th round, then Xiang Yang got his turn.
Xiang Yang walked into the arena with the other 99 participants.
Xiang Yang made the Dragon Body Pill using the herbal ingredients he had.
The other participants looked very seriously refining pills, whereas Xiang Yang was very relaxed. Of course as a tier 7 alchemist, refining a tier 2 pill would be very easy for him.
Xiang Yang lit the furnace and immediately put all the herbal ingredients into the already lit furnace.
The spectators were of course surprised to see the action of Xiang Yang, as inserting all such ingredients could make the furnace explode as the herbal ingredients had to be put into the furnace in order and in order.
Things like Xiang Yang did could only be done by high-level alchemists who were already extremely skilled at controlling the temperature of the flames.
All the spectators thought that Xiang Yang was a fool and that his legs would soon explode.
But one minute later, the flame on Xiang Yang's furnace was extinguished, he opened the furnace, taking out a pill.
"Pil level 2, done!"
Xiang Yang's words made everyone in the audience shocked. Refining a tier 2 pill in just 1 minute, isn't that absurd.
Now all the spectators suspected that Xiang Yang was cheating.
The young lady who became Xiang Yang's assistant, immediately walked forward approaching Xiang Yang.
"Sorry sir, can I check your pills first?" ask the young lady politely.
"Of course." Xiang Yang unmindfully handed the pill in his hand to the young lady.
The young lady carefully examined the pill that Xiang Yang had made, instantly her expression turned startled as she examined the pill.
The young lady had absolutely no idea what kind of pill Xiang Yang was making, this was only the first time she had seen such a pill.
To be sure the pill was a tier 2 pill of the highest quality he had ever seen.
"This is indeed a tier two pill of high quality, from the temperature of the hot pill indicating that this pill is indeed new to the flute, so mister Xiang Yang did not cheat at all."
All the spectators were silent, they found it hard to believe this reality.
"Since I've finished my pills, can I go?" ask Xiang Yang.
"Curtain!" Xiang Yang clucked in annoyance.
He regretted having refined the pills so quickly until now he would wait until the other participants were done.
Xiang Yang waited for about half an hour, and then the other 99 participants finished refining their pills.
The young women who were the assistants of each participant directly checked the pills of the participants.
Although none of the participants who blew up the furnace, but not all of them succeeded in making the desired pill.
There were participants who made level 2 pills, but with a very low quality to the point of not being able to say level 2 pills, there were also those who did not make pills but instead made poison because of their failure.
The young women had a discussion before deciding on the 10 participants who would advance to the next round. Of course Xiang Yang was included in the 10 participants.
Time continued to pass until nightfall, the elimination round tournament was still not over.
Until almost midnight, the elimination tournament was over.
***
Next day.
The name Xiang Yang started to get crowded because of his appearance yesterday. Being able to refine a tier 2 pill within 1 minute alone was incredible, even for a tier 5 alchemist would not be able to do so.
When the sun had already begun to reveal itself perfectly, the second day's Alchemy Tournament had begun.
Among thousands of participants, there are now only hundreds left because yesterday's elimination round had knocked out thousands of participants.
For today's tournament to test fire control by distilling pills. But the method used is not unusual, where the furnace that the participants will use is a very bad furnace, can be seen cracking in the furnace as if the pill furnace can be destroyed at any time.
This was a difficult test because the participants had to be completely able to control the temperature of the fire so as not to destroy the furnace. Because if the furnace is destroyed then they will be automatically eliminated.
Each round there will be 10 participants, where among the 10 participants there will only be one person who passes to the next round.
The participants were allowed to refine any pill, and the participants with the highest level and quality of pills would be the winners.
The 2nd day Alchemy Tournament began.
Round after round passed, dozens of participants had already been eliminated. Today's tournament examination was indeed very difficult, the participants felt very tense because of the difficulty of regulating the temperature of the fire so that the pill furnace was not destroyed.
Because of the difficulty of the tournament today, even in one round, among the 10 participants no one qualified for the next round because all the furnaces they used were destroyed.
After several hours passed, Xiang Yang's turn arrived.
Like the day before, Xiang Yang refined pills so easily, it only took a few minutes, even a tier 2 pill so.
It was actually possible for Xiang Yang to concoct a pill of a higher rank in a faster time, but he did not because even though he quickly finished the pill, he did not, he still had to wait for the other participants to finish.
Everyone was again startled by Xiang Yang's skill in refining pills, they now started to admire the young man, he said, but there were also those who still considered Xiang Yang to use a cheat trick so that he could refine pills easily.
