Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild

Chapter 24 Weird and silly, too cautious?
There was a lot of discussion in the stands.

Many alchemists were silent and busy.

But their performance is also very different.

Some people were in a hurry and looked nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.

Some people are exceptionally calm, their movements are smooth and relaxed, and their faces are full of confidence, as if they have everything under control.

Xiao Ling'er has been observing carefully, especially those parts of the elixir that she has never touched, but she doesn't just watch everyone.

She would not pay attention to those who were in a hurry and looked flustered.

Instead, keep an eye on those people who are calm and composed...
Steal teacher!

About a stick of incense passed, and Xiao Ling'er closed her eyes. Everything she had just seen seemed to come alive in her mind, constantly 'circulating' like a fleeting glance.

"I see."

"The foundation for using these auxiliary materials to increase the rate of elixir formation is the five-color flowers."

She whispered to herself: "Extract the essence of five-color flowers, use the five-color flowers to contain the characteristics of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and integrate other auxiliary materials in an almost perfect state to achieve the point where the five elements are interdependent."

"Using the intergenerational characteristics of the five elements to assist in the formation of elixirs, although the medicinal properties will be slightly reduced, the rate of elixir formation will indeed increase significantly."

"It seems that it is not difficult, as long as the balance of the five elements of these accessories is maintained."

"At least it's not a big problem for me."

Xiao Linger finally moved.

boom!
He patted the alchemy furnace casually, and the furnace lid immediately flew up.

This movement was swift and heroic, which immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.

But Xiao Ling'er froze suddenly and stuck out her tongue.

"I almost forgot to hide my clumsiness."

So, she started practicing.

Originally, you should use your own energy to hold the furnace lid, put the medicinal materials in, and then put the lid back on its own. It is not only efficient, but also very handsome.

But at this moment, she lost her energy and let the furnace lid fall to the ground with a clanking sound.

Alchemists around: "(⊙o⊙)..."

"Appreciate~"

Suddenly, there were boos.

Xiao Ling'er suppressed her blush, quickly picked up the furnace cover, and then began to throw medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in a hurry.

Seeing her like this, everyone suddenly lost any attention.

With this kind of performance, I can’t even get past the first round!
But Xiao Ling'er was so happy. Although she seemed to be in a hurry, in fact she understood everything.

During this process, she was even able to distract herself from chatting with Liang Danxia: "Teacher, in your opinion, can any of these alchemists be my strong rival?"

"Naturally."

Liang Danxia talked eloquently: "There are millions of alchemists, even if most of them are ordinary, there must be some who are outstanding."

"I have been silent as a teacher for many years, and I don't know much about the specific contemporary situation. But judging from their performance at this moment, there are three worthy ones."

"Oh?!"

"Teacher please speak!"

Xiao Ling'er became interested.

"Follow my guidance with your spiritual consciousness. Do you see it? In front of you on the left is the man wearing a feather crown."

"His entire process of refining alchemy is flawless. His control over many medicinal materials and the control of heat are also extremely extraordinary. He should be considered a powerful enemy!"

"And the red-haired and red-clothed woman behind you, if I'm not mistaken, she practices the Huode Sect's Zhenzong Cultivation Technique. The Huode Sect is famous for its weapon refining skills, but this woman... He found a new way to master the art of controlling fire, and became a master of alchemy."

"She may still be a step or two behind in her control of medicinal materials, but when it comes to playing with fire, you are still not as good as her now."

"It's them!"

Xiao Linger suddenly realized that she had paid attention to them before!
"Then the third person is...?"

"The person on your right, who doesn't seem to be very smart, is more clumsy than you."

"Ah?!" Xiao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Teacher, what you mean is that he is also showing weakness to the enemy and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?!"

She observed carefully, but found that she could not see any flaws.

"The disciple can't see it."

Liang Danxia looked solemn: "Just because you can't see it, it's more worthy of vigilance."

"This kid is very hidden and has excellent acting skills."

"But my teacher is certain that his comprehensive ability in alchemy will not be much weaker than yours. Moreover, this boy is very weird, and his cultivation... is questionable."

"Do you have any doubts about your cultivation?"

Xiao Ling'er took a closer look and found that the man who looked 'honest and honest' and 'not very smart' was clearly at the first level of the Condensing Yuan Realm.

Hidden cultivation base?
But even so, it shouldn't be described as "doubtful" even if the teacher can't see through it, right?
"This person..."

She frowned slightly: "It's really weird."

Although I don’t know exactly what the reason is, since the teacher said so, it must be right.

"It's really weird, just remember to be careful about this person!"

"is teacher."

······
Soon, more than half an hour passed.

One after another, people made elixirs, and the fragrance of the medicine was fragrant.

In the early days, most of the people who started the furnace were successful.

Because they have enough strength, and that is why they can become the first batch of people to open the furnace. Only a small number of them failed and capsized in the gutter, which was particularly frustrating.

But as time went by, the failure rate skyrocketed.

Some people have achieved elixirs, but they have not reached the third level.

There are also people who simply can’t even make a pill.

even···
There are not a few people who directly make frying furnaces.

It wasn't until Xiao Ling'er took the last ten or so breaths that she reluctantly opened the furnace and refined three third-grade Yuan Condensing Pills.

Really 'barely', but good enough to get into the second round.

Then, she looked at the "weird and naive" alchemist, only to find that he was still refining alchemy.

And it seems that the elixir fire is out of control, and they are scrambling to put out the fire!

It wasn't until his last breath that he finally put out the elixir fire and opened the furnace to get the elixir.

Two... I don't know whether they were second-grade or third-grade Yuan Ning Dan. The corners of Xiao Ling'er's mouth twitched as she looked at them.

It's just because the 'halo' on the elixir is very unstable. It's normal to have two halos, but the third one is flickering, flickering on and off...
It seems to light up, and it seems to go out at any time.

It finally 'stabilized', but it was obviously much dimmer than the other two haloes.

"Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, he's gone too far, right?"

Xiao Ling'er was particularly speechless. If the teacher hadn't reminded me, I would have been deceived by you!

Logically speaking, if you dress like me, you shouldn't attract attention, right?This? ? ?

Is that too much caution? !
Ok? ? ?
Wait, caution... too much? !

"Very familiar, seems like I heard it somewhere recently?"

However, after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't remember where I had heard such a cautious person, so I could only give up.

At this moment, the Hedao realm monk came on stage again: "Those who advance will stay, and those who are eliminated will leave."

Just ten simple words, but millions of alchemists were instantly divided into two camps.

What Xiao Ling'er didn't expect was that in just the first round, nine out of ten people were eliminated!

There are already less than [-] alchemists left.

That 'weird and silly' guy is one of them.
