Chapter 124 Izumo, Fury
"On the opposite wall, there is a huge hourglass. It is competition time. Anyone who still fails to refine the elixir before the hourglass pours out will also fail."

"Did you hear it clearly?" Fa Ma said with a smile.

"Yes!" In the square below, thousands of responses roared out like thunder.

"In that case, then... the first round of assessment begins now!"

Slowly raising his hand, Fa Ma smiled, and suddenly slashed it down. At this moment, thousands of flames appeared suddenly above the huge square like fireworks. The spectacular scene made people's blood boil!

The elixir needed for this assessment is a second-grade elixir called "Growing Bone Pill". As the name suggests, this is an elixir used to treat those with serious injuries. Generally speaking, this kind of healing elixir is not too precious.

This "Bone-Growing Pill" is probably only worth a few hundred or a thousand gold coins on the market. Compared with those pills that can enhance fighting spirit and have other functions, this value seems a bit shabby.

Xiao Yang smiled, and with a thought, a golden flame ignited in his palm.

This is the true sun fire that comes from Qian Renxue.

Xiao Yang has acquired this ability since practicing dual cultivation with Qian Renxue.

Using the dual flames of yin and yang as a guide, the true fire of the sun is integrated into the yang fire.

It's just to refine a second-grade elixir, the true fire of the sun is enough.

"Oh!"

Just as Xiao Yang was refining the medicinal materials, a cauldron on a stone platform not far away, which was originally blazing with flames, could not withstand the increasingly hot temperature and exploded!
With the explosion of the cauldron, the elixir that was being refined inside was naturally destroyed, marking its fate of failure.

His hair was burnt black and his face was unrecognizable. The alchemist stared at the flashing red light for a long while before he stepped down cursing. With gritted teeth, he walked out of the square under the gazes of countless people.

"Poor guy..." Shaking his head, Xiao Yang did not stop the refining steps in his hands.

But a moment later, Xiao Yang raised his hand and tapped the cauldron, and the lid of the cauldron flew out, and a round pill flew out with it. The pill pattern on it was dazzling...

Looking up at the flying round pill, Xiao Yang's face was calm. He waved his hand and a suction force pulled it into his palm.

At this time, only a quarter of the time in the hourglass had passed.

....................................

As time passed, when the last grain of sand in the huge hourglass fell out, Fa Ma's voice rang out: "Congratulations to all of you who are still standing in the square. You have successfully passed the first round of rough tests. However, this is not completely over yet..."

Fa Ma smiled and said, "I think everyone knows that some cunning little guys always like to do some inexplicable things.

They might have successfully refined a pill that looked round in appearance, but a pill that had no healing effect at all basically had nothing to do with the word pill...

Therefore, the next thing we want to test is whether the "Growing Bone Pill" you have refined meets the requirements of the prescription..."

Fa Ma's slightly hoarse old voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears: "Now, contestants, please find the green button on the lower left corner of your bluestone platform and press it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang swept his eyes across the stone platform, and finally stopped at the not-so-eye-catching corner in the lower left corner. He was somewhat surprised to find that there were several small buttons of different colors scattered around there. He followed his instructions and lightly pressed the green button with his finger.

As the button was pressed, the smooth bluestone countertop suddenly trembled slightly. On the countertop, a stone slab slowly protruded. After rising half a foot, the surface of the stone slab became slightly concave, revealing a tiny black hole.

"This is a testing machine. Put the 'Growing Bone Pills' you have refined into it. If it meets the requirements, the jade mirror in front of the stage will light up green. Otherwise, it will light up red, and the result will be elimination...

In addition, the brighter the green light, the more the "Growing Bone Pill" he refined is in line with the effects recorded in the prescription.

On the contrary, if the red light becomes stronger... that means that what you have refined is not a bone-growing pill at all, but just a pill without any medicinal effect.

Of course, if it can satisfy hunger, it is still somewhat useful..."

Hearing the humorous laughter resounding in the square, the audience and VIP seats all laughed, and in the square, many alchemists' faces suddenly changed...

"Haha, all right, everyone, let's get started..."

At this time, pharmacists had already started throwing their pills into the test machine. Soon after the pills were put into the test machine, the empty square suddenly became colorful. Strong or weak green and red lights intertwined and flickered, contrasting with joy and gloom...

"Damn, this crappy testing machine..." A second-rank alchemist glared at the jade mirror that was flashing red light with a gloomy face. That red light was almost the most intense in the entire square. Therefore, countless astonished eyes were cast on this gloomy-faced young man.

Smashing his fist hard on the stone platform, the alchemist put the medicine cauldron into the ring. Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, he stepped off the stage cursing, with a livid face and gritted teeth as he walked out of the square. .

"Fuck, you're just making some messed up tests... How can I die from refining pills? You're a bunch of old idiots... I spent so much effort to put those herbs together, and you're still giving me a test!
Damn it... I gave you a prescription, but there's no information except the name, what the hell is going on here..."

Following this round of tests, at least nearly a hundred alchemists, some with green or red faces, left the square.

Xiao Yang was listening at the side and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. It was such a waste of talent if this guy didn't do crosstalk.

While Xiao Yang secretly complained in his heart, he casually threw the pill in his hand into the dark entrance of the testing machine.

"Oh!"

The jade mirror was silent for a moment, and after a moment, a slight muffled sound was heard, and a beam of bright green light suddenly shot out from the stone platform in front of Xiao Yang. The color concentration was obviously richer than any green light in the previous venue, just like the finest imperial green jadeite.

Looking at this strange color, Xiao Yang couldn't help but twitch his lips, and secretly complained in his heart: "Potato, how obsessed are you with traffic lights?
"Wow... such a rich color." Looking at the emerald-like beam of light in the middle, voices of surprise rang out continuously from the audience.

"Haha, Xiao Yang is still slightly better." Looking at the bright beam of light in the square, Fa Ma chuckled. Yun Yun sighed: "With Xiao Yang's true strength, participating in this kind of competition is just like an adult bullying a child...

It seems that the sixth-grade pill recipe is really tempting to him."

Fa Ma smiled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed: "Huh?!"

His eyes swept across the huge square and finally stopped at a remote corner, where a figure wrapped in a gray robe was slowly putting the pill in his hand into the testing machine.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Fa Ma's reaction was a little strange, Jia Xingtian was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.

"That guy..." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his turbid eyes. Fa Ma tapped the guardrail lightly with his fingers and whispered, "That guy seems to be a bit strong..."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong and Jia Lao were both a little surprised. Their eyes instantly focused on the gray-robed man. They frowned and asked in confusion, "Didn't you notice anything wrong?"

“You are not alchemists, so your perception of soul power is not very clear. However, from my perception, that guy’s soul power is probably much stronger than Liu Ling and Yue Er. In the square below, his soul power is second only to Xiao Yang.

Even when Gu He participated in the Alchemist Conference, his soul power was not as strong as his..."

Shaking his head, Fa Ma frowned and stared intently at the bottom. A moment later, a bright green beam of light suddenly shot out from the stone platform in front of the gray-robed man, only half a point inferior to Xiao Yang's.

The sudden strong green light attracted everyone's attention in the square almost instantly. When everyone saw that the person who created this beam of light was actually a gray-robed man hiding in a remote corner, they all looked shocked.

"Who is this guy?" Looking in astonishment at the powerful opponent who suddenly appeared, the little princess and Liu Ling were both surprised. They looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

"Mitchell, give me his information..." At the front desk of the VIP seats, Fa Ma suddenly turned to Mitchell and said in a deep voice.

When Fa Ma made a surprised sound earlier, Mitchell realized that something was wrong. He quickly identified the location number of the gray-robed man, then took out a stack of documents from his ring and flipped through them quickly. After a while, the flipping gradually stopped, and the information recorded on a piece of thin paper appeared.

The portrait above was of the mysterious grey-robed man, but this time, there was a clear close-up of his face. It was a young boy with a pair of blue eyes and a pale and cold complexion. He seemed to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old, so young that it made people feel a little weird...

Handing the information to Fa Ma, the latter read it carefully with a slight frown. After a moment, his expression changed and he said, "Is he an alchemist from the Izumo Empire?"

Strictly speaking, the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire were hostile countries that were often at war. In addition, the Izumo Empire was very fond of the alchemist's mortal enemy profession: "poison master", which also made the orthodox alchemists of the Gama Empire have a bad impression of them.

Of course, the most important thing is that whenever the two countries go to war, those "poison masters" will resort to extremely despicable means, releasing poison, poison powder, and venom in various places. In every major war, the number of soldiers who died in the Gama Empire is an extremely horrifying number.

In addition, in the Izumo Empire, the alchemists in their country do not oppose poison masters, and some can even cooperate with each other. This also leads to the alchemists in the Gama Empire being very angry and disdainful of these guys who almost betrayed the purpose of the alchemy world.

And precisely because of this, when Fa Ma saw that the mysterious man in gray robe turned out to be from the Izumo Empire, his face became a little ugly.

"Why does it only say he's a second-grade alchemist? Judging from the soul power I sensed before, that guy is at least a fourth-grade alchemist!" Fa Ma frowned.

At this moment, Xiao Yang's eyes just happened to sweep across the badge on the gray-robed man's chest. Above the badge, a shining sun was slowly rising from the horizon. This pattern was exactly the logo of the Izumo Empire.

A murderous intent suddenly burst out!
"Little Japs?! I'll fuck your entire ancestry!"

Xiao Yan's sudden burst of foul language startled the little princess.

Damn it, Xiao Yan had always felt uncomfortable with the country's name Chuyun, but now he remembered it.

In the previous life, the Japanese had an aircraft carrier named Izumo.

At the same time, this was also the title of a so-called famous person in ancient times.

It has nothing to do with whether you love your country or not, the only thing is that you don't need a reason to hate the Japanese.

At the front desk of the VIP table, Fa Ma breathed out slowly, his turbid eyes stared at the gray-robed boy in the square below with a slight chill. After a while, a calm voice echoed in the square again.

"Okay, now that everyone has finished the test, let's start the second round of assessment... Move your fingers and press the small red button on the lower left side of the stone platform."

Xiao Yang did as he was told and put the matter of the Izumo Empire aside for the time being. He groped with his fingers and pressed the small red button.

As the button was pressed, the huge bluestone platform suddenly trembled slightly, and the protruding machine retracted again. On the neat stone surface, a large pile of neatly stacked medicinal materials and a prescription slowly floated up.

"This time, the prescription is an orthodox one. It took our guild all its manpower and several months to create it.

This time, the test requires you to successfully refine the medicine according to the prescription.

Likewise, the materials in front of you are enough for you to refine twice, which means you still have two chances. Once the herbs are used up, it means you have failed..."

After Fa Ma finished speaking, all participants began to take action.

Xiao Yang picked up the scroll of prescription, spread it out slowly, then closed his eyes slightly, and let his soul power rise up, gradually scanning the information recorded on the locked prescription.

As the soul power scanned, detailed data was quickly stored in Xiao Yang's mind. Various matters that needed to be paid attention to during refining were also quickly and clearly memorized in his mind. This was also the benefit of the orthodox prescription...

All the information contained in the prescription flooded into Xiao Yang's mind, and he also knew what kind of elixir he was going to refine this time.

"Wind-Moving Pill, a third-grade pill. Effect: It can make the person who takes it more sensitive to the wind-attribute energy between heaven and earth for a certain period of time, thereby increasing the speed of movement."
