Chapter 191 Silent Tears
Chapter 191 Silent Tears
When the three judges were judging the answer slips,
Lu Chen was closing his eyes and deducing the entire process of alchemy. Previously, due to the lack of new spiritual herbs and new knowledge of alchemy recipes, Lu Chen's alchemy skills had stagnated, and some spiritual herbs were not available on the market just because you wanted to.
Now that he is free anyway, how could Lu Chen waste this opportunity to improve himself?
Among the more than one hundred people in the audience, there was a pair of eyes staring at Lu Chen. The man was wearing a white robe and a hat, so his face could not be seen clearly.
"Very good! Lu Xiaoyao, right? I will remember you. If I don't take revenge, I am not a gentleman. Just wait for me." Ximen Qinghong said viciously in his heart.
Ximen Qinghong was about to start the game and Yan Zixia didn't come to see him, so he got a ticket to the audience seats through his own means.
He wanted to see who could catch the eye of that bitch Yan Zixia and be so confident that she could replace him and defeat Dongfang Yuanhua instead of trying to keep him.
After memorizing Lu Xiaoyao's appearance, Ximen Qinghong left the competition venue early. He was also the only cultivator who left early.
On the high platform, Dan Gui Yin Cang sometimes frowned, sometimes made a look of understanding, and from time to time he nodded to Dongfang Yuanhua with a satisfied smile.
When he first received the two answer jade slips, he roughly glanced at the contents of the two jade slips.
Judging from the time portrayed, it is obvious that Dongfang Yuanhua's answering time is longer than Lu Xiaoyao's.
So when he saw that Jade Slip No. 2 was longer than Jade Slip No. 1, he concluded that Jade Slip No. 2 should belong to Dongfang Yuanhua.
Moreover, he answered the question about all ninety-nine and eighty-one kinds of spiritual herbs, and the number of them that make up the pill formula was one more than the standard answer. This made Yin Cang very satisfied with Dongfang Yuanhua's performance, and he felt grateful to Bai Shi, the pill idiot, for cultivating a good disciple.
I gave No. 2 a score of 90, which is already a very high score. As for why ten points were deducted, it seems to be a routine, just like when we write essays, it is a fact that we rarely get full marks.
But when he finished reading the jade slip of answer sheet No. 1, he still unconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaoyao. It must be said that the alchemist named Lu Xiaoyao was also a rare talent.
Apart from not coming up with a pill recipe, the content of the answer sheet was quite standard. The fact that he was able to identify so many spiritual herbs showed that he had worked very hard on basic knowledge.
Yin Cang thought about it. Although he represented the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce and hoped that the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce could win,
But he still had some conscience when it came to alchemy, and ultimately gave Lu Xiaoyao an 89-point score, before handing his result to the chief referee Liang Chaobei.
Dan King Yu Tongwei also judged the two jade slips at first, then carefully read the two answer jade slips, gave each of them 90 points, and then submitted his own judgment.
As the chief referee, Liang Chaobei did not deliberately distinguish who the two answer jade slips belonged to. He gave a more objective score according to his own requirements, giving each of them 90 points.
Then combine the decisions of the two assistant referees and finally take a middle value.
The score of the last jade slip No. 1 was 89.6 points, and the score of the second jade slip No. 2 was 90 points.
When this result was announced by the butler, it caused an uproar among all the monks present, and various discussions followed.
Although the true identities of numbers one and two will not be revealed until the very end, it is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to guess who their numbers belong to based on their performance.
"I didn't expect that the alchemist named Lu Xiaoyao is so strong. He is only 0.6 points lower than Dongfang Yuanhua. No wonder he can represent Feiyu Chamber of Commerce to participate in this competition."
There are many people who sigh like this. They all have a preconceived notion that Dongfang Yuanhua is the second candidate. After all, his reputation is there.
"Phew! Fortunately, it's not too far down. I still have a chance to catch up later." Yan Zixia breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself,
Because Lu Chen answered the question later, she also thought that Lu Chen was number one.
"I told you, how could the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce send out an incompetent person?" The cultivator in the crowd who had previously denied Lu Xiaoyao began to change his opinion.
"Hmph! Don't be impatient. Identifying spiritual herbs tests the knowledge of both parties. Memorizing by rote is not difficult for cultivators. The difficult part is the final alchemy. That is when the true skills are tested."
A cultivator in the crowd said in a cold voice, it seems that this cultivator still doesn't think highly of Lu Xiaoyao.
Next, the steward announced that the second game would begin...
Lin Tian was in a very good mood today, so he took a day off at home. Recently, Madam Lin had been seeking medical advice at the "Xuan Dan Pavilion".
It is said that the alchemist of "Xuan Dan Pavilion" has made great achievements in solving the problem of fertility among monks.
His wife Wang Yuehua also felt some changes in her body. The couple had been together for more than ten years and had no children. Now his wife's health has improved.
So the two of them happily decided to spend the day at home making a baby.
The battle actually started last night and lasted until almost dawn, when the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
You know what, because Wang Yuehua was in the conditioning stage, the two of them hadn't exercised for a long time. After a night of nourishment, Mrs. Lin looked great and became even more beautiful.
At noon, Lin Tian, who was originally on vacation, suddenly received a message from the general manager of the Shenshou Mountain branch, asking Lin Tian to go to his house immediately to discuss important matters.
Lin Tian didn't want to go. Wouldn't it be nice to have a baby at home? So he was ready to find an excuse to refuse. Wang Yuehua, who understood the situation, immediately persuaded Lin Tian, and Lin Tian left reluctantly.
Not long after Lin Tian left, a master sneaked into the Lin Mansion and knocked out more than a dozen servants and monks in the mansion. Mrs. Lin's cultivation was also sealed.
Madam Lin, who had lost her true energy, couldn't even send a message for help to Lin Tian.
At this time, Song Yushu appeared in front of Madam Lin. All this was actually a plan he had designed to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"It's you?" Madam Lin said in horror. She suddenly remembered that the young cultivator in front of her was Song Yushu, who had teased her at the door of "Xuan Dan Pavilion" and was then driven away by Lin Tian.
"Hahaha... young lady... you didn't expect it, did you? I miss you so much, hahaha..." Song Yushu smiled proudly, with greed in his eyes, and then he pounced on Madam Lin.
Madam Lin was full of righteousness. Even though she had no true energy, she knew what would happen next. She glanced at the door with nostalgia and immediately tried to commit suicide by ramming herself against the wall, but was stopped by Song Yushu.
"Pa!" Song Yushu turned Madam Lin around and slapped her in the face, warning her viciously, "You stinky bitch! If you dare to commit suicide again, I will immediately summon Lin Tian to be killed. If you don't believe me, just try it."
As he said this, he took out a communication bead as if threatening.
“Don’t…” Madam Lin stopped him anxiously, then subconsciously stepped back a distance.
"Hahaha...that's right! As long as you obey me this time, I promise not to hurt Lin Tian, otherwise you can just wait to collect his body!" Song Yushu said lightly.
Then, he pressed Madam Lin down on the table... The table began to creak and shake... In order to save Lin Tian's life...
With his right cheek pressed against the table, he looked at everything in front of him in a trance, shedding...silent tears...
