Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Lin Ziyu also participated in the Alchemist Competition, standing in the team of Level 3 Alchemists. He felt that his luck was quite good today, because the herbs assigned to him could be used to form Level 3 pill recipes, all of which he had practiced countless times before. This gave him confidence for the upcoming competition.

"Please note that the duration for level one to three competitions is one hour. The countdown starts now," the host said loudly.

Everyone knew this meant a fierce competition was about to begin. The contestants rubbed their hands, eager to give it a try, their eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation. The audience, on the other hand, held their breath, their eyes fixed on the stage, afraid to miss a single exciting moment.

Lin Ziyu had already decided on the type of elixir he wanted to refine. He carefully selected the necessary herbs and meticulously checked each one to see if it met the requirements. Because this was a competition for alchemists of levels one to three, each participant only had one chance, and time was very limited. Therefore, Lin Ziyu had to ensure that the herbs he selected were of the highest quality to ensure the success of his elixir.

Then, Lin Ziyu lit the medicine furnace he brought with him and used spiritual fire to warm the furnace. His entire mind was focused on refining medicine, and everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Lin Ziyu took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and began to refine the elixir. He carefully opened the alchemy furnace and placed the various selected herbs in order. These herbs were carefully selected by him, each with unique medicinal properties and effects.

Step One: Melting the Herbs. Lin Ziyu harnessed his immense mental power to control the temperature and intensity of the flames, gradually refining the herbs. This process required immense skill and experience; even the slightest mistake could result in the herbs being burned or their effectiveness being lost.

Step 2: Purification. Refining the medicinal materials will produce some impurities, which will affect the quality and effectiveness of the elixir. Lin Ziyu uses special techniques to separate the impurities from the medicinal liquid, making it pure and transparent.

Step 3: Second purification. This step is more meticulous than the first, and involves removing any excess ingredients from the liquid medicine. While these excess ingredients won't significantly affect the elixir, they will reduce its purity and potency.

The fourth step is melting the elixir. The purified medicinal liquid is melted together to form a whole. This process requires precise control of the heat and the proportion of the medicinal liquid, otherwise the medicinal liquid will easily become stratified or uneven.

Step 5: Purify again. The medicinal liquid has now been blended, but there may still be a small amount of impurities. Lin Ziyu continues to use his techniques to remove these impurities, making the medicinal liquid even purer.

Step 6: Divide the elixir. Divide the fused and purified medicinal liquid into equal portions. This step requires a high degree of precision and control. If the distribution is uneven, it will affect the quality and effectiveness of the elixir.

Step Seven: Pill Formation. This final and crucial step, Lin Ziyu focused intently on controlling the temperature and intensity of the flame, allowing the liquid medicine to gradually solidify into round pills. As the pills took shape, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, bringing a sense of peace and joy.

The entire alchemy process lasted an hour and a half. Lin Ziyu remained highly focused and vigilant, not daring to relax for even a moment. Finally, when the last pill was successfully produced, he breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face. The pills refined this time were of excellent quality, and their fragrance was very noticeable.

Lin Ziyu handed the refined pill to the supervisor next to him, and then he was taken away to rest and wait for the results. Lin Ziyu sat down and watched the people competing on the field.

At this time, Lin Jiu carefully approached Lin Ziyu and said, "Brother Ziyu, let me tell you, you are the fifth one to complete the medicine refining." He spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

"Well, there are a lot of people waiting here? Didn't they succeed?" After Lin Ziyu finished refining the medicine, he saw that many people had already left. Why did Long Jiu say that he was the fifth one to complete the medicine?

"Ah! They all failed in refining medicine. Some of them were so nervous that their furnaces exploded, and some were just unlucky and didn't know how to refine the herbs after getting them! Brother Ziyu, let me tell you! Most of them are female orcs and sea people. Both of our tribes are not good at refining medicine." Long Jiu whispered to Lin Ziyu.

After hearing this, Lin Ziyu asked thoughtfully, "Well, Long Jiu, can you tell me who the four people in front of me are?"

"Brother Ziyu, that... the first one is the one who successfully refined it. She is wearing light purple clothes. She seems to be the direct disciple of Master Huang. Her name is Chu Yuan. The second one is the beautiful sister in dark blue clothes. She is from the sea clan. I heard that she is the next priest. The third one is the one wearing the same clothes as you. The fourth one is the one wearing gray clothes. He seems very ordinary." Lin Jiu said while pointing to Lin Ziyu.

Lin Ziyu followed Lin Jiu's instructions, mentally memorizing the characteristics of these individuals. He nodded slightly, indicating understanding. When he saw the third figure, it was Senior Lan Xinning. Senior Lan Xinning had always been a leader in the academy, powerful and highly respected. Unexpectedly, he was the third to succeed in refining.

At this moment, the people nearby cast envious glances. Someone whispered, "That's Lin Ziyu, Master Lin's disciple." Another said, "I didn't expect him to be so powerful."

Lin Ziyu heard someone talking about him and turned to look. He found that it was someone around Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan saw Lin Ziyu looking at him and gave him a provocative look. Lin Ziyu smiled faintly and turned away, no longer looking at him.

"Junior Brother Chu, don't worry...you will definitely beat him." said the person next to him.

Chu Yuan also snorted in dissatisfaction.

At this time, the host shouted loudly: "Attention, all alchemists, there are only ten minutes left before the end of the competition! Please hurry up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of explosions erupted—bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...bang... The series of explosions startled everyone. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw more than a dozen alchemy furnaces exploding simultaneously, sending medicinal materials and pills scattering everywhere in a chaotic scene. It was clear that these people were no longer able to complete the alchemy task and were helplessly eliminated. Their faces showed disappointment and frustration, but they had no choice but to accept the outcome. The other alchemists shook their heads and sighed, expressing regret.

There were also cases where they were affected and followed the furnace explosion and were ruthlessly eliminated.

In the blink of an eye, the allotted time was up. Those alchemists who hadn't yet successfully refined the elixir were helplessly eliminated. The others who had successfully refined the elixir then delivered their meticulously crafted elixirs to the designated location.
