Translator: 549690339

The four participants stared at the medicinal herbs taken out by the forest with envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces. The sour bubbles in their hearts kept rolling. Among those medicinal herbs, there were several kinds that were hard to find even with thousands of gold. Not to mention that they couldn’t get them, even if their families had the money, they might not be able to buy them. More importantly, even if their families had them, they wouldn’t easily take them out and let them use them to participate in the competition. After all, no one could afford the failure rate of the medicinal pills. It was also not something that alchemists of their level could afford to use.

To put it bluntly, he was afraid of wasting it.

Was this person really the forest that his grandmother didn’t love and his uncle didn’t love? Seeing those Supreme-grade herbs, the few of them were uncertain. After all, they had never regarded the forest as their biggest opponent before. But now, they didn’t dare to take the forest lightly.

After Lin Jie took out the medicinal herbs he needed, he obviously felt many strange gazes. However, he didn’t care, and could understand their feelings! After all, when he first saw these medicinal herbs, he probably lost his composure even more than them. He never thought that these medicinal herbs could be used for the competition.

Although he also felt that this was a bit extravagant, that person was right. Medicinal materials were used to refine pills. If one was afraid of failure, what kind of Alchemist was he? He even told him that alchemists were built on piles of medicinal herbs, and that an Alchemist who had never used Supreme-grade medicinal herbs would never become the best Alchemist.

After hearing these words, he was moved. At the same time, he felt that he owed her too much. It was easy to add flowers to a brocade, but not just anyone could give charcoal in the snow. The charcoal was too valuable, which made him panic. What made him even more uneasy was that the other party didn’t ask him for anything, which made him even more at a loss. However, for the sake of this competition, he was willing to give it his all. No matter what the other party wanted him to do after the event, as long as it didn’t go against his conscience. He would do it all!

Lin Jian decided in his heart. However, if he knew that the person who gave him the medicinal herbs had no request for him, he would probably not think this way and would instead feel depressed.

The people on the stage were shocked by the herbs taken out by the forest, and those in the audience who had a certain understanding of herbs were also shocked.

Especially the master of the Cong family, who felt deeply uneasy when he saw the medicinal herbs taken out by the forest.

It wasn’t easy for the clan to produce an Alchemist with a bright future, and he was still hoping that the jungle could do more for the clan! Could it be that the forest was going to be dug away by other forces before it could benefit the family? This fact made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

However, he knew very well that the power that could produce these herbs was definitely not an ordinary small power. Lin Jian didn’t have much sense of belonging to the family. More importantly, the family had helped Lin Jian very little. So, he wasn’t confident in convincing Lin Jian with the family’s righteousness.

AI! The master of the Cong family sighed again and again, his brows furrowed together. In the face of those families who came to congratulate him, he also forced a smile and dealt with them. In fact, he knew the pain in his heart!

At this moment, Liuyue, who was sitting in front of Leng ruoxue, also turned his head and stared deeply at Leng ruoxue. He did not say anything, but his thoughtful gaze made Leng ruoxue’s hair stand on end.

“Sir Liuyue, why are you looking at me like that? I’m scared.” Leng ruoxue asked carefully.

“Xue ‘er, the herbs we took out from the forest were provided by you, right?” Liuyue said indifferently. His tone was absolutely certain and not a question.

“En!” Leng ruoxue nodded, not denying it.

“You’re really generous!” Liuyue’s tone was a little sour. In fact, he was really jealous. Every herb that this little girl took out was of the highest quality. Whether it was the fire ginseng or the snow Lotus petal, they were at least a thousand years old. Such priceless herbs had actually appeared in an alchemy competition. If the refinement was successful, it would be fine, but if it failed, wouldn’t it be a waste of God’s gifts?

“Uh!” Hearing Liuyue’s tone, Leng ruoxue didn’t know how to continue. Could she say that this was already the most common medicinal herb she could offer? Of course not. Otherwise, it would be too infuriating. Hence, she could only remain silent.

“Hand it over!” After a long while, Liuyue, who was glaring at Leng ruoxue, spoke again. She extended her hand in front of Leng ruoxue and said without any trace of politeness.

“What do you want?” Leng ruoxue blinked her eyes and pretended to be confused.

“Fire ginseng! I have a pill that I need!” Liuyue did not hold back at all.

“Oh!” Leng ruoxue acknowledged and took out a fiery-red jade box from her bangle. She handed it to Liuyue, who put it away without even looking at it to avoid attracting too much attention. However, the dense fire-attribute spiritual Qi still made the people around them feel invigorated. However, when they wanted to search for it, the faint fire attribute spiritual Qi had already disappeared.

“Little girl, what other good things do you have? shouldn’t you share some with me?” Seeing the flowing flames ginseng in his hands, flowing maple laughed, unwilling to be left out.

However, Leng ruoxue rolled her eyes at him!

“Little girl, you’re clearly being treated differently! Wu…You can’t bully people like this!” Liu Feng’s Starry Eyes were filled with tears as he spoke with a wronged expression. Unfortunately, his pitiful act was ignored by the crowd. Feng Da even covered his mouth and indicated that the competition on stage had already begun.

Flowing maple immediately quieted down and shifted his gaze to the stage. After all, he still had to abide by basic professional ethics.

At this moment, the entire arena was completely silent. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of the furnace’s fire burning and the slight sounds of the medicinal ingredients melting. Everyone’s eyes were all focused on the stage, and the five people on the stage had all their attention focused on the medicinal ingredients. They watched the medicinal ingredients slowly melt one by one, then purify and finally form pills. The movements of the five people were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water.

An hour and a half later.

Other than the four alchemists outside the forest, all of them had completed the refining process. Only the forest was still waiting according to the refining steps in an orderly manner.

The Alchemist competition also had a time limit. The first two rounds were one hour each, and the third round was two hours. In other words, within two hours, no matter how high the grade of your pill was, you had to complete your refinement. Otherwise, it would be considered a failure!

Such a rule was also to remind alchemists to know their own limits, and not to blindly pursue high-grade medicinal pills and ignore their own true strength. This could also be considered as tempering their will! After all, as an Alchemist, being neither arrogant nor impatient was a basic quality that they had to have.

There was still half an hour left until the end of the competition. Many people on and off the stage couldn’t help but feel worried for Lin Lin. They knew that the higher the grade of the herb, the longer it would take to produce the pill. Therefore, they were very worried that Lin Lin wouldn’t be able to complete the pill refinement in the stipulated time. If that was the case, it would be a pity.
