The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 3916: Honest Bait

The Medicine King Ceremony officially begins and all pharmacists are ready.

Dongfang Xuan said in a deep voice, "Let's start refining the elixir now. Anyone who fails three times will be directly judged as a loser and will not be allowed to continue to participate in the subsequent competitions."

As Dongfang Xuan's voice fell, all the pharmacists began to work intensively on refining the elixir. Countless flames burst into flames at this moment, and the raging flames seemed to ignite the entire square, turning it into a world of flaming mountains.

Countless alchemy furnaces started to turn at this moment. Pharmacists kept adding medicinal materials and began to make pills. Some pharmacists were thinking on the spot, as if they wanted to find a better way to make pills or a solution. However, Qin Yun had no interest in these. He knew nothing about the way of making pills, and the more he watched, the more boring he found it.

So Qin Yun simply started practicing in the main seat.

Dongfang Xuan and the others also knew that Qin Yun was not good at refining pills, and inviting him was just a formality, so they didn't care about Qin Yun's behavior.

Of course, more importantly, they needed Qin Yun as bait to lure out those hidden enemies.

Therefore, while the Pavilion Master was performing the Medicine King Ceremony, Dongfang Xuan and the others were also constantly monitoring the movements around the square. If an enemy appeared, they would immediately activate the trap designed in advance and capture the enemy.

Time passed by inadvertently, and the pharmacists on the field were exhausted and sweating, but they were still constantly refining the Nine Spirit Jade Purity Pill.

Although some of them have successfully refined the pills, if they want to surpass others in terms of scores, they can't just rely on the pills they just made. Every pharmacist is pursuing the best quality of pills, only in this way can they widen the score with other pharmacists.

But as time passed, they became more and more anxious because it was about to get dark.

According to the rules of the Medicine King Ceremony, after dark, even if you have finished refining for the day, you must bring out the pills for review no matter what.

After a while, the sky became completely dark, which meant that the pill refining was over.

Dongfang Xuan said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop immediately and extinguish the alchemy furnace. Do not refine any more pills."

Most of the pharmacists stopped refining pills, but some still gritted their teeth and continued to refine pills.

Dongfang Xuan had no choice but to order people to extinguish the furnaces and forbid them to continue refining pills, otherwise it would be unfair to the other contestants.

The next step was to identify and evaluate the elixir. Qin Yun was not an expert in this area, he just followed the formalities and that was it.

Qin Yun just said a few words and that was the end of it.

However, the pharmacists among them are still very powerful. Some people can actually refine a pill with a purity of 95%. It is simply amazing! This is the Nine Spirit Jade Purity Pill. It is very difficult to refine it. It is really amazing to be able to refine the Nine Spirit Jade Purity Pill.

Qin Yun also remembered his name, Dongfang Lian.

There were also several remaining people who refined the quality of the Nine Spirit Jade Purity Pill to 90%, and as expected, they all obtained high scores.

After evaluating all the pills and obtaining the first day's scores, Dongfang Xuan announced, "The first day of alchemy is over. Everyone go back and prepare for tomorrow's alchemy."

Many people left with dust on their faces, while others left with smiles on their faces.

Qin Yun's face straightened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did you find anything unusual today?" Dongfang Xuan shook her head, "The enemy seemed a little cunning, and didn't find anything unusual. It's also possible that they didn't intend to attack us, and they just wanted to scare us before."

Qin Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, the plan will still be implemented. This is just like fishing, a smart fish won't eat the bait right away."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dongfang Xuan nodded slightly.

Qin Yun then left the square and returned to his residence.

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

After three days of alchemy competition, only about half of the pharmacists participating in the Medicine King Ceremony remained.

Some were eliminated due to poor medicine skills, while others left in frustration because of low scores.

It can be said that those who can stay are all top elites. After all, this can be said to be a selection competition for the Medicine King Elder, who represents the pinnacle of elixir technology in the Shennong Sect. However, Qin Yun was waiting for those enemies, but they still did not show up. They seemed to be hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move, or as if they just said a few scary words and would not really show up.

Despite this, the plan is still being implemented as usual without any carelessness. As long as they dare to come out, Qin Yun will make them pay the price.

Time flies by.

By the last day, only eight people were left.

These eight people represent the strongest new generation of alchemy skills in the entire Shennong Sect. They can be said to be the most powerful geniuses in the entire Shennong Sect.

Today is the final competition. The final winner will become the substitute Medicine King Elder and enter Shennong Island to practice and receive training from retired Medicine King Elders of previous generations.

At such a grand moment, Dongfang Yu, the leader of Shennong Sect who had not appeared before, finally appeared. "Your Majesty." Dongfang Yu saluted Qin Yun.

Qin Yun, who was bored, saw Dongfang Yu finally appear and couldn't help but said, "You old fellow, you finally came out. This Medicine King Ceremony is the most important event for your Shennong Sect, and you, the Sect Master, didn't even show up!"

Everyone in the Shennong Sect was trembling with fear and didn't dare to interrupt. This kind of conversation between bigwigs was not the scene they should be in.

Dongfang Yu smiled apologetically, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I had something to do. After I finished my business, I rushed back. I have troubled Your Majesty for the past few days."

Qin Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Let's get started, let's quickly finish this Medicine King Ceremony."

These past few days, Qin Yun had become a little annoyed watching them making pills every day. If it wasn't for the purpose of luring out the enemy hiding in the dark, Qin Yun would have gotten up and left.

But today is the last day of the Medicine King Ceremony. If those guys want to sabotage the Medicine King Ceremony, today is their last chance. I guess they should show up, right?

It is probably because of this that Dongfang Yu rushed back in such a hurry.

Qin Yun's face darkened slightly. If the enemy really appeared, then it was no wonder that he was so cruel! As long as they were enemies, they must be eliminated!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dongfang Yu shouted to everyone, "Today is the last day of the Medicine King Ceremony, the competition begins now!"
