Chapter 127: Reaching the Top Five

"This is."

Ye Qi took two steps forward in disbelief.

He was almost sticking to the light curtain, staring at Fu Shaoping.

His action.

This naturally aroused suspicion among others, especially Wang Shouzhi and the other two from the Alchemy Tower who had already completed their mission. They couldn't help but turn their eyes to Fu Shaoping.

This look.

They tilted their heads, too.

Fu Shaoping's alchemy technique is surprisingly different from theirs, or rather, different from their current methods. Upon closer inspection, it is not only much simpler, but also gives people a bright feeling.

But that's all.

They couldn't understand why Ye Qi, who came from a noble family in Huainan, lost his composure like that.

I don't know.

At this moment, Ye Qi's heart was already filled with turmoil:

"The Fu family in Qingniu Town has truly produced a genius!"

Fu Shaoping's alchemy technique is exactly the same as that of his great-grandfather, and his great-grandfather is a fourth-rank top-grade alchemist who inherited the skills from the Alchemy Stele!

in short.

Fu Shaoping is also the lucky one who inherited the Wudan Tablet!

There were countless geniuses in the Dawu Dynasty.

However, only a few can truly gain recognition from the Wudan Monument. The most important thing is that those who inherit the Wudan Monument will generally not have bad achievements in the future.

Ye Qi became more determined to write a letter to his second aunt.

these years.

The Fu family is weak and has always been dependent on the Ye family.

But the Fu family has produced such a genius. I believe that in the future the Fu family will definitely be on par with their Ye family again, and may even go to a higher level.

Ye Qi returned to his seat and sat down.

After half a cup of tea.

Fu Shaoping's second furnace of Wei Yuan Dan came out successfully, with five pills, one of which was of Grade A!

Master Bai took a look and was slightly surprised. He was able to produce Grade A alchemy in the second furnace. This showed that Fu Shaoping's alchemy skills were not necessarily worse than those of the three people in their alchemy tower.

He was visibly tense.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead, he gave the Qingyang County Magistrate a shot of prevention:

"Sir, Fu Shaoping was able to refine the first-class product in the second furnace. He has a chance to get into the top three."

"oh?!"

The Qingyang County Magistrate narrowed his eyes slightly.

This time when he went to Nanyang Prefecture, he received some unfriendly news.

That is:
Qingyang County may have to restart the Thousand Households Office!

If so.

From now on, the cake of Qingyang County will be divided into two. Although the Zhenwu Division is only responsible for suppressing warriors, the other party is not under the jurisdiction of their county government, and the rank of Qianhu Suo is on the same level as their county government.

This way.

Their county government no longer had any advantages.

The only thing worth mentioning is the Alchemy Tower.

Chongwu of the Zhenwu Division is weaker than them in alchemy skills. If they are surpassed by the other side in this respect, then their county government will eventually become an assistant to the Qianhu Division.

but.

Rebuilding the Qianhu Suo will not happen overnight.

and.

The civil servants above also strongly opposed it.

It may not be possible to implement it.

But we still need to prepare for a rainy day. The Qingyang County Magistrate waved to Master Bai and said softly, "Since Fu Shaoping is so good at alchemy, after the competition is over, you should talk to him in person and ask him to join our alchemy tower. He won't be left in the Hundred Households Office in Qingniu Town and waste his talent."

"Yes, sir, that is exactly what I meant."

Master Bai smiled and nodded.

The centurions lived on the edge of a knife.

How could it compare to the comfort of their county government? Moreover, the Alchemy Tower is the most authoritative alchemist organization in the Tianwu Dynasty, with the most complete training system and the most sufficient resource supply. This is a great institution that many alchemists dream of entering.

This Fu Shaoping was favored by the county magistrate.

It is also his blessing.

As Master Bai announced that Fu Shaoping had refined the first-grade Wei Yuan Dan.

County Magistrate Cui in the courtyard almost spit out his tea:

"This"

"This Fu Shaoping is really a blind cat that has caught a dead mouse. He is so lucky!"

Able to enter the second round.

But that’s where it stops.

Captain Lin's heart beat faster.

An inexplicable voice sounded in my heart: "Fortunately, I bought Fu Shaoping's bet."

The game continues.

Generally speaking.

Those who have refined the first-grade Wei Yuan Dan will not continue to refine the second and third furnaces.

But Fu Shaoping started to refine the third furnace without hesitation.

Waiting for the third batch to come out.

This time.

It was Mandan!
And three of them are of Grade A quality!
This time.

The whole county was shocked!
The fact that a full pill appeared on the third occasion showed that the other party did not produce the first-class product by chance, but he really had the ability to do so.

Qiu Baihu, who was sitting by the window in Baixiang Tower, saw this scene.

He glared at Mo Baihu and said:
"Brother Mo, you are too unkind. You have kept your talent hidden. You should have told me in advance that there is such an alchemy genius in your Qingniu Town, so that I can add a few hundred bets to him to encourage him!"

Captain Mo was also a little surprised.

after all.

It has been less than two months since Fu Shaoping accepted the inheritance of the Wudan Tablet.

I never thought that alchemy would undergo a qualitative leap.

but.

It should stop here.

because.

No matter how powerful.

They would definitely choke to death. They could not defeat Wang Shouzhi and Ye Qi, the three people from the Alchemy Tower who had been preparing for several years.

Otherwise.

Because Fu Shaoping unexpectedly entered the second round, the people in the outer city, especially those in the twenty streets of the East Street area, were as happy as if they had won the prize and immediately lit firecrackers.

Fu Shaoping is their benefactor.

They naturally hope that their benefactors will achieve good results.

Immediately.

Believers lit up river lanterns and placed them in the moat. The land god temple even knelt on the ground, praying devoutly that Fu Shaoping would be able to make it into the top three in this competition.

For a while.

The 23rd contestant, who had never been noticed by anyone, suddenly overshadowed the first four because in their opinion, their victory was a matter of course. But Fu Shaoping, to a certain extent, represented the millions of ordinary people like them. If he could make a comeback, they would naturally be happy to see it.

An hour later.

The first round is over.

A total of twelve contestants entered the second round.

among them.

Except for the three people in the alchemy tower of the county government and Ye Qi, two of the remaining eight towns were directly eliminated. The only one with two people entering the second round was Qingniu Town.

Captain Qiu couldn't help but say sourly:

"Brother Mo, you are so lucky!"

If their Qingniu Town can advance to the third round, even if they don't get a ranking, it will still be a great contribution to Mo Baihu's performance.

Accompanied by nine drum beats.

The second round of competition begins!
This time.

The ancient recipe still appears.

but.

But it is no longer a second-grade intermediate elixir, but a second-grade superior Linglong elixir.

The conditions for promotion are:

"I have refined a Grade A, Level 2, Superior Linglong Pill!"

The same three ingredients.

However, the first-grade, mid-quality Wei Yuan Dan in the first round eliminated half of the contestants. In addition, almost half of those who advanced had narrowly managed to refine the A-grade product in the third furnace.

Therefore.

See how the race conditions have changed.

Many alchemists showed difficulty on their faces. Fu Shaoping's expression remained unchanged.

Instead, he focused his attention on the treasure book in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The treasure mirror flashed slightly.

A line of text flashed out:

"Second-level high-quality elixir: Perfection (1/100)"

After refining three furnaces of Wei Yuan Dan, his second-level alchemy skills reached perfection from mastery. That is to say, now his success rate in refining second-level top-grade Linglong Dan is almost 100%, but the probability of refining top-grade quality is only 1%.

"It seems that I need to use attribute points."

Otherwise.

before this.

He planned to practice with two furnaces of Linglong Dan first.

This way.

His alchemy skills should be improved accordingly, and the corresponding attribute points required will also be reduced.

The first furnace!
Three pills were made, all of them were Grade C!

The second furnace produced five pills, two of which were Grade B and three were Grade C.

Two furnaces were refined continuously.

Fu Shaoping is looking at the Treasure Mirror of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The treasure mirror flashed slightly:
"Second-level high-quality elixir: Perfection (5/100)"

The overall improvement of second-level alchemy skills was four percent.

A thought.

The treasure mirror flashed again.

This time, what appeared was a specific elixir:

"Second-level high-quality Linglong Pill: Perfect (20/100)"

In other words.

He now has a one in five chance of being able to refine a Grade A Linglong Pill. If it were an ordinary alchemist, he would have been secretly grinning and feeling thankful to have such a chance.

But Fu Shaoping didn't want to gamble.

This time.

He must win.

and so.

He returned to his meditation mat and sat there in meditation with his eyes closed.

In my heart silently:

"Add some second-grade high-quality Linglong Dan."

Instantly.

A flash before his eyes.

next moment.

He appeared in the alchemy room of the Sea of ​​Consciousness Treasure Mirror. The concentration incense rose slowly, and Fu Shaoping began to refine the elixir.

This scene fell into Master Bai's eyes.

He felt inexplicably relieved and said to the Qingyang County Magistrate:

"Sir, although Fu Shaoping has good talent, he is obviously far behind the three seeded players trained by our Alchemy Tower."

This is also the pride of Master Bai.

After all, Wang Shouzhi and the other two were taught by him personally.

The Qingyang County Magistrate nodded slightly:

"This is also due to your good teaching, Master Bai."

The skill of speaking.

Wang Shouzhi has taken the lead in refining the first-class quality Linglong Pill.

As Master Bai's announcement sounded over the county town.

County Magistrate Cui, who was watching all this nervously in the county government office, smiled smugly and pointed at Fu Shaoping who had his eyes closed and said:
"Look, look, I told you that Fu Shaoping is just a half-baked person and he's still showing off. Now he finally knows what kind of person he is."

Captain Lin standing by also felt that Fu Shaoping's chances of winning were slim.

But after all, the bet was placed.

whispered:
"Sir, this Fu Xiaoqi still has one furnace to refine."

"Why, can he defy fate and change his destiny?!"

There was a pause.

County Magistrate Cui looked at Captain Lin with a sidelong glance.

sneered:
"It seems that you bet on Fu Shaoping. No wonder you speak up for him time and time again. Is your brain stuck in the door? I can still hear a sound when I throw the Yuan Stone into the moat. Why did you bet on him? You are really a sucker."

County Magistrate Cui was in a good mood.

He picked up the teacup and started drinking.

Captain Lin also sighed in his heart and just regarded it as spending money on an impulse buy. Anyway, if Cai Shichao won, he would also be compensated with 5,000 yuan of stones.

Different from the inner city.

At this time, the people watching from outside the city also felt it.

Fu Shaoping probably won't be able to advance to the third round. He didn't know what to do with the firecrackers he had prepared. Seeing that everyone was depressed, Master Ning couldn't help but scold:

"Fu Xiaoqi is less than 20 years old, but he is already a second-level top-grade alchemist. He will definitely have a bright future. Why are you all crying so sadly? Set off the firecrackers to celebrate Fu Xiaoqi's entry into the second round in advance!"

Master Ning said this.

Everyone felt that this was the case.

Captain Qiu in the private room of Baixiang Tower saw that Old Tan from Qingniu Town had completed refining three furnaces, but was unable to produce top-grade quality. Although Fu Shaoping was still meditating, it seemed that he had obviously stopped there. He felt a little regretful.

but.

More over.

That's exactly how it should be.

If not.

Then Fu Shaoping is too amazing.

Of the twelve people who entered the second round, except for Wang Shouzhi and his two companions from the Alchemy Tower and Ye Qi who produced Grade A, the rest all ended in failure. Of course, Fu Shaoping still had one last furnace left:
"Brother Mo, drink, drink. It is already rare for two people from Qingniu Town to enter the second round. You can't get fat in one bite. Fu Xiaoqi is still very young, so just train him slowly."

"Um"

Captain Mo had already expected this outcome.

He picked up the teacup and clinked it with Qiu Baihu's wine glass.

The second floor of the Alchemy Tower.

at this time.

All the contestants have finished refining, and only Fu Shaoping has one furnace left to refine.

Li Qiu Ming of the Alchemy Tower sneered when he saw Fu Shao Ping was still not making a move:
"Pretending to attract attention, pathetic!"

Among the three people in the Alchemy Tower.

His alchemy skills are not as good as those of the other two.

I feel somewhat unwilling.

He was already angry, and he became even more angry when he saw Fu Shaoping acting like this. If he could transmit his voice, he would have wanted to go up and wake the other person up.

On the other side, Ye Qi's eyes flashed with doubt:
"It is said that after receiving the inheritance of the Wudan Tablet, Fu Shaoping's alchemy skills should not stop here. Could it be that he just received the inheritance not long ago? Or is the inheritance of the Wudan Tablet only a two-color elixir pattern?"

In the spotlight.

Fu Shaoping finally moved.

There was no joy or sadness on his face.

From opening the furnace, refining, condensing the elixir, to collecting the elixir, everything is done smoothly and in one go. Watching him making the elixir is simply a pleasure.

"This"

Master Bai on the podium suddenly stood up.

He watched the entire process of Fu Shaoping's first two batches of Linglong Dan, but compared to the previous ones, Fu Shaoping's skills in this third batch had obviously improved a lot.

This is so shocking!

It turns out that one can significantly improve alchemy skills during the process.

Apparently!

Fu Shaoping must have closed his eyes just now because he was in some kind of enlightenment. This is the only way to explain why he made such great progress in the third furnace.

Epiphany!

That is something you can only encounter by chance.

Many alchemists may spend their entire lives never encountering such a blessing.

Master Bai was envious and shocked, and at the same time he became more determined to recruit Fu Shaoping into their alchemy tower:

"I wonder if the other party has produced a top-grade elixir in this furnace."

at this time.

Whether it is inner city or outer city.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Fu Shaoping intently. Success or failure depended on this one move! If he could refine a Grade A, Level 2, Top-grade Linglong Pill, how could Fu Shaoping enter the next round!
Become a top five player!

Along with Fu Shaoping's Dan Collection Technique falling.

But then eleven elixirs flew out of the furnace one by one!

"Mandan!"

"I actually managed to refine a full pill!!"
