Chapter 553 Entering the Top 3
In fact, before the judges opened the square ruler jade box, they had almost confirmed the results of this group.
Opening the square ruler jade box to determine the value is just a process.
The judge of the Fang family didn't even go to see the elixirs that Fang Chi had refined. He knew that the value of the elixir refined by Fang Chi would never exceed the value of these seven purple qi elixirs.
The results of the competition between No. 7 Jing Yan and No. 8 Fang Chi came out later.
"Number seven alchemist wins, and number eight alchemist is eliminated!" The white-robed old man announced the results of this group in a deep voice.
Hearing the result, Jing Yan just smiled. Because this was completely within his expectations.
"No! No!" Fang Chi was a bit unacceptable, and he roared loudly.
He participated in the Alchemy Ceremony this time, and his family placed high hopes on him. Fang Chi is the most outstanding alchemist of the Fang family in the past hundred years. The family believes that there is no problem for Fang Chi to enter the top ten rookie alchemy list. As for Fang Chi himself, he thought he could enter the top five. Unexpectedly, he didn't even make it into the top ten.
"Silence!" The old man in white robe shouted again, staring at Fang Chi.
Fang Chi's eyes were red, but after all, he didn't dare to make trouble in the alchemy hall of the city of alchemy, so he calmed down.
After the cup of tea time, the results of the ten groups were all released.
Defeat the opponent's ten alchemists and enter the top ten rookie alchemists. The alchemists who were defeated were eliminated, ranking eleven to twenty.
The ten alchemists were again divided into five groups to compete. Of course, a lottery must be drawn again. This time, the numbers in the lottery are from number one to number ten. Also, number one will play against number two, number three will play against number four, and so on.
Jing Yan's opponent in the second round was a Sanren Alchemist. Although this alchemist does not have a strong background, his ability in alchemy is indeed extremely outstanding. However, he could not compare with Jing Yan after all.
In the second round, Jing Yan won again and entered the top five.
In the third round of competition, it was five to three, and one alchemist had a bye in this round. As for which alchemist has a bye, it depends on the result of the lottery.
Jing Yan got No. 4 in the third round, so he needs to compete with No. 3 for alchemy.
Wan Lai was the one who got number five, that is to say, he didn't need to compete in this round, he was directly promoted and won the top three seats.
After another hour of competition, Jing Yan defeated his opponent in the third round and successfully advanced to the next round, winning a seat in the top three.
The final result came out, and the top three were Jing Yan, Wan Lai, and an alchemist named Ma Rong. This Ma Rong is from the country of Dan. Although he is not a member of the Dao family of Dan, Ma Rong's name is very famous in the country of Dan.
Because not only is he extremely accomplished, but he also has a master who is famous across the continent. His master is the judge Sun Qi. Therefore, Ma Rong can be regarded as Hu Donghe's disciple.
It is said that Hu Donghe once personally accused Ma Rong.
After the top three alchemists are determined, they are not eliminated in a single round, but three people compete with each other. The order of the contest is also determined by drawing lots.
This time, numbers 1 to 3 were drawn. Number one and number two will fight first, and the winning side will play against number three. If you beat number three, then you are number one. And the remaining two alchemists will also compete again to be the second and third.
The gap between the top three rewards is also huge. The first place will get the Creation Pill, Yuanli, and 5,000 top-quality spirit stones, and this is what the three of them will do their best to fight for.
The lottery results came out soon, and Jing Yan drew number three. Then in the next hour, Jing Yan can rest, and Ma Rong and Wan Lai will have a contest first.
"Ma Rong's attainments in alchemy are very profound, I'm afraid it's not inferior to Wan Lai!"
"Well, the result of the competition between the two is really hard to say."
"Brother Sun, who do you think is stronger?"
After both Ma Rong and Wan Lai started alchemy, the judges chatted in low voices, and one of them looked at Sun Qi and asked.
Sun Qi, Ma Rong's master, must be the clearest about Ma Rong's abilities.
"Ma Rong's talent is indeed very good. Within ten years, he should be able to become a senior alchemist." Sun Qi said, stroking his beard.
Although Ma Rong is his disciple, he can't praise Ma Rong too much, what he said is more objective.
"Alchemist Wanlai is also very powerful. To be honest, I don't know who is better!" Sun Qi continued.
Several judges chuckled when they heard this. What Sun Qi said was really tantamount to not saying anything.
Jing Yan also watched the actions of Ma Rong and Wan Lai. In his heart, Jing Yan hoped that Ma Rong could defeat Wan Lai. Because Wan Lai gave him a bad feeling. In the finals, Wan Lai did not look at Jing Yan with cold eyes once or twice. Wan Lai seems to be very easy-going on the surface, but his heart is hard to say. Jing Yan feels that this person is the kind of person with a deep city.
And Ma Rong is much more comfortable.
Just before the final round of lottery, Ma Rong greeted Jing Yan politely. Jing Yan could tell that Ma Rong's personality was milder. So relatively speaking, he hoped that Ma Rong could defeat Wan Lai.
However, Jing Yan really couldn't decide which of the two was stronger. Objectively speaking, the abilities of these two should be equal, and who can beat the other depends on the performance of the individual.
If there is no accident, then the difference in the value of the elixir refined by the two may not be too big.
While waiting, an hour passed, and the elixir refined by Ma Rong and Wan Lai was also sent to the judges by the white-robed old man.
Soon, the judges started arguing, which seemed to be very heated.
Without thinking too much, you can probably guess why the judges were arguing. It should be that there is not a big difference in the value of the elixir refined by the two, so it is not completely sure whose elixir is more valuable.
After arguing for a long time, there was still no consensus.
"Master, please judge!" Sun Qi turned and bowed to Hu Donghe and said.
The judges have different opinions, so Hu Donghe can only be invited to play. No one dares to question Hu Donghe's ruling.
Although it is said that Ma Rong is Hu Donghe's disciple, but with Hu Donghe's prestige, he will definitely not do anything partial.
"Let me take a look!" Hu Donghe nodded and walked over.
"The value of the pills refined by the two of them is indeed not much different. However, if these pills are put up for auction, it is more likely that the price of the pills refined by Wanlai Alchemist will be higher. So this round, alchemist Wan Lai defeated alchemist Ma Rong." After Hu Donghe identified the elixir, he said the result.
Hearing this result, Wan Lai's mouth rose slightly.
"Prince Ma Rong, I have accepted it!" Wan Lai cupped his hands towards Ma Rong.
"Hehe, alchemist Wanlai is being polite, your ability is indeed stronger than mine." Ma Rong still maintained a humble attitude, and said to Wanlai.
