The arena below is completely boiling, almost driving all the pharmacists crazy. They are leaving their seats and rushing towards the magic towers where the three presidents are standing (flying is prohibited in the arena).
Unable to help, I stepped back half a step. The densely packed colorful human heads rushed towards me like an army of ants. Colorful-headed ants, presumably highly venomous... It's so terrifying!
The arena is about to lose control!
Yun Tai subconsciously looked towards Vice Dean Zi Su beside him.
"After more than 600 years! A new Medicine Saint has finally been born, and our late president can finally rest in peace. Yun Dean, thank you." Yao Gui Nong performed a very solemn ceremony of a pharmacist towards Yun Tai.
Yuntai was startled and quickly hid behind Zisu, avoiding the thanks from Yao Guinong. The gesture was too overwhelming for her to handle.
Yao Guinong's actions caught the attention of all the seventh-rank pharmacists in the VIP box. Translated content: "
"Director Yao, what's going on here?"
Before Chief Yao Nong could answer, three waves of solemn yet not overly aggressive spiritual pressure slowly enveloped the entire venue.
The sound was suppressed, and movements were restrained.
All eyes once again focus on the top of the magic tower.
"Silence! Take your seats."
感觉并不是很高亢的声音，在场每个人却能清楚地听清所说的每个字。
As if being hypnotized, the crowd slowly began to disperse, returning to their original positions. However, the flushed faces of each person showed that their inner turmoil had not calmed down.
Yun Tai breathed a sigh of relief and then commented on the participants on the stone platform, "President Hui really made those participants suffer. With their current state, how can they refine good elixirs?" Translated:
“你倒是恢复得挺快。”炎火戳了一句。
Yun Tai knew her own situation. It wasn't that she recovered quickly, but that she didn't really feel anything. As a lifelong first-rank pharmacist, she didn't even consider advancing to the second rank in this lifetime. Other people's ability to advance was their own skill.
The greatest joy and sense of pride arise from patriotic enthusiasm within the same country.
"If they can't even handle this pressure, then don't waste medicinal ingredients, just abstain," Yanhuo said disdainfully.
Abstain? After finally standing on this stone platform?
This statement suggests that it's no wonder having poor popularity. Yuntai secretly grinned but did not respond.
“药师大赛初赛现在开始。”八品药圣曦尘宣布道，没有任何多余的废话。
既然是药师大赛，而且有资格站在石台上的药师已经不需要再浪费考较什么基础知识了。那就直接比拼真功夫--炼丹。
"President, why didn't they say a few more words?" Yuntai looked up at the Magic Tower in astonishment.
"What did they say?" Zisu asked in puzzlement.
"Like the history of the competition... nonsense," Yuntai mumbled.
周围几位听到云苔话的高级药师好笑地睇了云苔一眼，都知道是废话了还说？这小姑娘的想法还真是奇怪。
Yun Tai's face turned slightly red and she shifted her gaze back to the field.
A gigantic virtual scroll appeared in mid-air.
"You have ten minutes to read the questions."
With a clang sound.
The scroll unraveled, revealing the questions:
* The competition will last for five months (10 hours).
* Own the medicinal materials, own the medicine cauldron;
* Can select up to twelve different medicinal materials, each weighing approximately 100 grams, without repetition;
* The score is based on the quality of the finished pill, not the quantity: 1st grade pill, 1 point; 2nd grade pill, 2 points; 3rd grade pill, 4 points; 4th grade pill, 8 points; 5th grade pill, 16 points; 6th grade pill, 32 points; 7th grade pill, 64 points; 8th
Pin Dan, 108 points, and so on.
* The top 30 ranked participants will proceed to the final round.
A buzz of speculation filled the sidelines, as some feared it might affect the competitors. Many spectators opted for whispering to each other, while those who couldn't utilize this skill simply lowered their volume.
On the VIP seats, all the seventh-ranked pharmacists are analyzing the questions one by one:
“药材自备拼的是家底，不过到了这个阶段，基本上今天在台上的或多或少手头都应该有些珍稀药材。不至于连一张丹方的药材都拿不出。”
“就算原先没有，来参赛之前肯定也准备了不少，以备不时之需。”
“十二种药材，也不过是一张标准丹方的配额，如果每一种只有一副的量，且不可重复，也就是说只有一次机会。”
"Who else would refine first-grade pills or second-grade pills for such an occasion today? And they even specifically emphasize the quality level rather than the quantity. Are there any other requirements involved? There are only thirty spots available for the semi-finals, and it is not required to refine sixth-grade pills." Please note that the translation is as accurate as possible, but it may not capture the full context or nuances of the original text.
Dan never had a chance to enter the finals. Just look at the number of people in the field, it's highly unlikely to rely on other contestants' failures to make it to the finals.
"In other words, this rating standard is aimed at the second furnace. Moreover, it must be based on the successful production of Grade 6 pills in the first furnace."
"Silk..." The pharmacists present involuntarily gasped.
Although they are all seventh-rank medicine emperors, they dare not guarantee a hundred percent success in refining a six-rank elixir. Even if they succeed, the consumption of mental power in refining a furnace of six-rank elixir is enormous.
"It seems that the second furnace is the key to victory today."
At least two furnaces of pill, one of which must be a sixth-grade pill. How should the twelve types of medicinal materials be allocated?
If it is to refine low-grade pills, mental strength is not the main issue; the main problem is the lack of medicinal materials. This shows the pharmacist's familiarity with the pill formula and their thorough understanding of the properties of various medicinal materials. If one or two medicinal materials are lacking and one needs to use high-content techniques such as pill simulation to compensate for the medicinal effect, it becomes a big test for mental strength. With only five months for the competition, there is simply not enough time to fully recover mental strength if one wants to refine the second furnace of pills. Moreover, the side effects of forcibly recovering mental strength are usually very strong. Not many senior pharmacists would risk jeopardizing their own mental strength just to enter the next round.
。
"If we borrow the power of the Celestial Jade, it should be able to restore some of our spiritual energy. The second furnace might be enough, it just depends on how we handle those medicinal herbs."
Listening to these pharmacists analyze the competition's questions, it feels like they are on a completely different level compared to those in the preliminary rounds! The traps and such in the preliminary rounds are indeed just a selection for low-level pharmacists, while this is for the high-level ones.
The difference between the levels of pharmacist competition.
While Yun Tai was sighing, she noticed that many eyes were once again focused on her. After a brief thought, she understood that spiritual power could save a lot of energy when using her magic crystal high-pressure alchemy furnace during alchemy.
神力。也就是说，这场比赛他们宇澜国的药师可是占了大便宜了！
“梓苏，我听说宇澜新式药鼎可以节省不少精神力。不知消息是否属实？”瞳家家主关切地问道。在知道这种炼丹炉出现的第一时间，他们就想办法弄到了一
Tai, but there is still no definite conclusion within the clan regarding the alchemy refining skills and other abilities of the alchemists.
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked to Zisu for verification. Although Yuntai designed the high-pressure alchemy cauldron using magic crystals, she is also a heretic with her psychic abilities sealed, thus rendering her usage data unreliable.
Zisu chuckled lightly, "Yulan did not prohibit the export of the high-pressure alchemy cauldron."
The issue of medicinal materials is a severe problem faced by all pharmaceutical practitioners throughout the continent. Although there are still some stubborn factions within the Pharmaceutical Guild, the majority of practitioners support and welcome the invention of the magical crystal high-pressure alchemy cauldron by Yulan Kingdom. In order to win over the Pharmaceutical Guild, Yulan Kingdom has not restricted the sales of the high-pressure cauldron and has instead opened up the supply, making efforts to promote it. Of course, this promotion is not mandatory and is based on voluntary participation. They themselves...
不想学，不想使用，怎么看也怨不到他们头上吧。
That being said, one person has been using the alchemy furnace for decades and knows every part of it inside out, while the other person just got their hands on it and hasn't even spent a hundred days with it. They haven't fully grasped all the functions and properties yet, and now they are participating in the Pharmacist Grand Contest.
In important occasions, how many pharmacists have the courage to choose to use the new type of alchemy furnace? At least they dare not!
They feel sorry for the participants who are not using the new type of alchemy furnace, when they see that overly young and joyful face in the field. Translation: "In important occasions, how many pharmacists have the courage to choose to use the new type of alchemy furnace? At least they dare not!

不敢！不甘！却又无可奈何。
