Chapter 664: Bei’yuan Branch Pagoda Alchemy Competition (One)

For the first time, Lou Mu Yan heard someone call her a wonder. It wasn’t that she didn’t see the interest in Xia Xuan Ye’s eyes—she just didn’t care.

Such eyes had a more probing look than being invasive towards her, so she could ignore it. If it were the type of invasive gaze, she’d definitely speak with her fist.

“When will Wu Nuan and I be up?” She looked at Fei Yan Chen and asked.

Fei Yan Chen said with a smile: “The competition is divided into three matches. The first match with you and Wu Nuan will be in around two hours. People from the Alchemy Pagoda will come to inform you when the time comes. We can first take a look at the other people’s competitions first.”

The competition was divided into three matches, and each match was divided into several rounds. It was mainly because there were too many alchemists signing up to participate.

Alchemists from all around the Human Realm came to participate in the grand event held by the Alchemy Pagoda, and there’d be many alchemists from the other three realms coming to watch secretly as well.

“Mm.”

The projection crystal in front of the Bei’yuan Imperial Family was enhanced by a special array, and they could see everything on the competition field below from multiple perspectives.

Fei Yan Chen controlled the crystal to watch the rounds of matches, but there was basically nothing special about the first round, and everyone lacked interest.

“There should be many young pupils of the Alchemy Pagoda here to participate in the competition right.” Lou Mu Yan casually scanned the projection on the crystal.

“That’s for sure. Although the Alchemy Pagoda wants to use this kind of competition to recruit some young and talented alchemists to join, but it can’t weaken the reputation of the Alchemy Pagoda itself either.”

Xia Xuan Ye continued: “This kind of grand event is actually also to highlight the strength of the Alchemy Pagoda’s pill refining. In previous competitions like this, the top three were basically all people from the Alchemy Pagoda.”

“If the champion wasn’t from the Alchemy Pagoda, will they receive their revenge?” Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit and asked.

“No. Since the Alchemy Pagoda dares to hold such a continent-wide open competition, they still have some measures. If someone else won the championship, then they’d actively win them over first. If it doesn’t work, they’ll befriend them instead of taking revenge. That would be better than benefiting other forces.” Xia Xuan Ye replied.

The champion of the alchemy competition held by the Alchemy Pagoda was a subject to compete for by all forces, how could they take revenge when they couldn’t even wait to treasure them.

“Mm, understood.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.

She didn’t know much about the four major forces on Guang’ling Realm and she didn’t want to create any grudges between her and them just by winning the championship. After all, she still had a good impression of the Alchemy Pagoda.

“Young Miss Lou seems very confident about winning the championship.” Xia Xuan Ye felt that Lou Mu Yan exuded confidence throughout her entire body when she mentioned the result of the competition.

Lou Mu Yan looked at him and said with a smile: “Since I’ve participated, I naturally must do my best.”

Although she had determination to win the championship, but she never underestimated any opponent.

After another two hours, as expected, a steward of the Alchemy Pagoda came into the private room to summon Lou Mu Yan and Wu Nuan to participate in the first match.

The two of them didn’t hesitate, and followed the steward to the spacious hall on the first floor, where all the participants in this round of the competition gathered.

An Alchemy Pagoda referee walked up to the front and said to the contestants: “The first match is mainly to assess the identification of spiritual herbs and medicinal properties.”

He pointed to a large pile of spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits on the table and said: “There are a total of two hundred types of spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits here. The top ten people who recognises the most can participate in the next match of the competition, and those below top ten will be directly eliminated.

“Your results in the three matches are superimposed, and they also play a key factor in winning the championship. Therefore, the better the results in each match, the better the subsequent competitions. You should show your talents to the best of your ability.”

He paused, then continued: “Now come here in your orders to identify the spiritual herbs and medicinal properties, then write all your judgements in the jade slips with your mental energy.”

Writing in jade slips with mental energy could also prevent other people from peeping when writing with pen and paper.

“Yes!”

Soon, two hundred kinds of spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits were numbered and laid out on a long table in order by the Alchemy Pagoda’s people. There was some distance between each plant so that many people could view them in an orderly manner at the same time.

Lou Mu Yan engraved the name and medicinal properties of the spiritual herb into the jade slip with mental energy from the very first species.

The time she spent looking at each plant was very short, and she could basically recognise the spiritual plants with one or two glances. She quickly viewed the two hundred spiritual plants and was the first person to complete the assessment and hand over her jade slip.

Fei Yan Chen and the others in the private room naturally saw her actions.

“Young Miss Lou finished viewing the two hundred spiritual herbs so quickly, I wonder how many she can actually identify.” Chu Xi said meaningfully while holding a cup of tea.

The fastest among the others had only viewed a hundred plants. Lou Mu Yan’s speed was a bit too fast. In such a situation, either she knew a lot, or she knew very little.

“My Owner shouldn’t be compared to those people.” Bing Ji raised his chin proudly, “Of course she recognised them all.”

He originally wanted to say those ‘trash’, but after being warned several times by Lou Mu Yan not to underestimate everyone, he still removed the word trash with kindness. Even though those people were indeed trash compared to his pervertedly strong Owner.

“…” The others were very speechless. Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pets were already starting to boast before the results even came out.

Soon, when the last person handed in the jade slip, the several judges and assistants began to check them.

After about an incense stick of time, the referee who spoke before walked to the centre with a serious expression and announced: “In this round of the first match of the competition, Lou Mu Yan ranked first, identifying two hundred types of spiritual herbs and their medicinal properties; second is Wu Nuan, identifying one hundred and twenty six types of spiritual herbs and their medicinal properties; third is…”

Soon, the referee read the names of the top ten participants and told them to continue to participate in the second match tomorrow. Those who didn’t have their names read out were naturally eliminated.

Lou Mu Yan’s result in identifying two hundred kinds of spiritual herbs was indeed good, but since many alchemists who came to participate in this competition had strength and background, so occasionally having one or two people who could identify them all in each round was normal.

There were a few people sitting in the only private room on the fourth floor, and one of them, an elderly man with white hair and a ruddy face, told a young man standing behind him, “After the first match, bring the names of the people who can recognise all two hundred spiritual herbs to me.”

The spiritual herbs that were identified on the long table were different in each round, and ranged from low-level to high-level. The last ten spiritual herbs were even level 8.

To be able to recognise them, it could mean that either those people had come into contact with a lot of spiritual herbs, or they were very talented in alchemy, and had a deep understanding of spiritual herbs.

“Disciple obeys!”

Sitting beside him was a middle-aged, elegant man with a gentle temperament. He waited for the young disciple to exit before slowly opening his mouth: “Deputy Pagoda Master, what do you think of the younger generation of alchemists this session?”

The people in charge of the Alchemy Pagoda branches in each State were all Deputy Pagoda Masters, who had high rights and status in the entire Alchemy Pagoda.
