第355章 天地之灵气，日月之精华

两位副会长直接从主席台飘然而下, 落在场中央, 站到了自己比赛的石台上。
光明教众直接被晒在当场, 走也不是, 留也不是, 尴尬异常。
赛场内的参赛药师慢条斯理地着理着操作台。至于最前面的光明教众, 他们想想就尴尬, 还是无视吧。
As for the audience on the stands, there were both sympathizers and those who took pleasure in others' misfortune.
"That little girl will come down during the finals." Elder Chang, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly spoke, "The Son of God made a mistake."
圣琼斯一脸恍然：“常长老说得没错，现在最重要的时拿下决赛的名额。”
更关键的是，此届药师大赛最引人关注的并不是谁拿到了药师大赛的桂冠, 而是决赛中医师这门新兴职业和药师这门传统职业谁更强的对决。到时候光明教什么都不需要做, 云苔和药师公会的众位药师自然而然地就会站到对立面。他们要做的就是尽可能多地抢占决赛名额。这样才越对他们有利，如果因为一点小事
If they were disqualified from the competition, it would truly be an unworthy loss.
一想通这一点, 无需他人更多的劝解, 几位光明教的参赛药师便匆匆回到自己的石台上, 各就各位。
炎火手在整理台面，口中言道：“可别搬起石头砸了自己的脚。好心提醒如果把自己挡在决赛圈外, 那可就好玩了。”
决赛原本就只有八个名额, 现在又被直通占去了三个, 场内五十人抢剩下的五个名额，而其中两位副会长往届可是决赛圈的常驻选手, 这又去掉了两个名额。
四十八分之三的概率。场中还真就没有药师敢自拍胸脯表示肯定能拿到其中一个名额。
“炎药师，比赛么，是输是赢本来就是各凭本事，没什么可怨的。你说是不是？”雷诺笑呵呵地插嘴道。
The official competition finally begins with the sound of the bell.
所有的参赛药师表情立刻变得严肃了起来。全场得气氛也骤然紧张。
每张石台上整整齐齐地摆放着一个个玉盒这场比赛不出众人预料，所有的七品药师基本上都拿出了七品药材。而且石台自动移动、组队抱团。形成一个个独
The area is established.
“这也可以？”云苔大为惊讶。在她的观念里，比赛考试那都是定位的，说坐哪儿就坐哪儿，怎么可以乱跑！不但乱跑，而且还带着“考试桌椅”一起跑！难道
就不怕他们组团作弊么？
呃，组团作弊……
云苔突然想到之前老师有提到过的药师大赛的复赛就是‘团体赛’……
也就是说这样乱跑的抱团作战是药师大赛默许的！
当准备就绪，丹火生起，云苔就发现同时炼制十九枚七品丹的声势不是能和初赛同日而语的。
各种颜色的火焰海洋在炼丹师们的手上翩然起舞，一株株药材被投入鼎中……
随着时间的推移，天地间原本稀薄的灵气开始迅速向各个炼丹炉上空凝聚，肉眼可见，且隐约夹杂着爆裂声响。
“看仔细了，现在算是比赛真正开始。”火邈提醒道。
Confirmed!
It's time to showcase the pharmacists' combat power!
一条条有序地注入丹炉的灵气开始变得纷乱。特别区域交界之处的灵气柱，尤其是那些独自一人的野生药师受到的影响最大。
With a familiar sound of "bang", it signifies the failure of alchemy.
As White Lieyan witnessed the face turning pale due to insufficient spiritual energy, he clicked his tongue and said, "There are always a few incredulous ones, but none of them end up with good results."
看到这种现象，特别是最后当不少炼丹师将自己炼制到一半的丹药直接抛入到要保送的药师炼丹炉里的时候，云苔是真的有些看不过眼。她忍了又忍……
火邈注意到云苔的奇怪表情，嘴角一抽：“有问题就问。”
云苔连忙张嘴问出自己心头的疑惑：“老师，既然七品药材如此珍贵，为何……”
“你是想问，他们为何不在平日炼制七品丹药，反而选择在大赛上出手？是吗？因为从表明看，比赛上炼制七品丹药不但炼丹的压力大，环境恶劣，而且就算
真的炼制成功一枚丹药，所付出的确是却是另外两三副药材失败的代价。在你看来，这完全是不必要的，是不是？”火邈问道。
云苔点头：“对。”
“如果你去翻阅药师史册，细心些就会发现一个有趣的现象。在比赛或是考核中，药师炼制丹药的成功率要远高于平日。炼制品级越高的丹药这一现象越是明
显。可以说近百年来的七品丹几乎都是出自于药师大赛的赛场。”闻楠石也很有兴趣地加入了讨论。
这是因为有了竞争意识和危机意识，所以潜能爆发？
云苔怎么有一种怪异的感觉：一个小孩不吃饭（药师单独炼丹的成功率极低），两个小孩肯吃饭（两名炼丹师一起炼丹成功率上升到一半一半），三个小孩
抢饭吃（三位以上的炼丹师一起炼丹，这成功率直接爆棚？）。
“所以这是为了提高成功率宁可多耗损药材？”
“几副药材如果能够获得一枚七品丹药总好过什么都没有。”
云苔发现她周围的几位都在点头。显然是认同闻院长的观点。
这是有多么得不自信？而且这样的不自信还不是一个两个，是所有药师的普遍认知！明明七品药材到如今已是有价无市，要凑齐一副丹方更是千难万难。因
为没有足够的药材练手，所以药师没有自信心，他们却要以这种方式来提升自信心……这就是一个恶性循环。
“越是没有药材就越是用浪费药材来提高自信心？这种思维逻辑还真是……”云苔摇摇头。
“住口，赛场中的众位药师哪一位不是德高望重，在炼丹方面浸淫了几十甚至上百年。又岂是你这个稚子可以非议的！”闻楠石本能地呵斥道。他和云苔几乎
没怎么打过交道，再加上云苔那欺骗世人的外表，让闻院长很容易将她当成了普通的学子。
可话亿出口，闻楠石就领悟到自己说错了！
云苔是普通学子吗？她不是啊！论地位她和自己一样都是药师学院的是院长，如果真正计较一些，一个是全院的院长，一个是分院的院长，自己还矮了云苔
一阶。论对整个大陆药师的贡献，单是把指挥系学习用的幻境模拟舱用于药师练习炼丹这一项就足以盖过他这几十年的任教了。
Sure enough, several imperial-level powerhouses and six-grade pharmacists who had attended the strengthening class all looked at Wen Nanshi with a strange look.
Yun Tai, on the other hand, didn't feel that anything was wrong, and Dean Wen's reminder was also well-intentioned. The tone of speech between elders and juniors couldn't be said to be inappropriate. So she immediately apologized seriously, saying, "Dean Wen, I apologize for my behavior.
It's true, I spoke without thinking."
Yuntai apologized, but Wen Nanshi became even more embarrassed.
“也不单单是为了赌一口气。从七品丹药开始，每次成丹都会引动天地，引来丹雷。这是为何？”火邈考较道。
“是因为灵气。”叶绵华举手抢答。他被旁边的火链狠狠瞪了一眼。谁都看得出来火邈老师这是在考较云苔，他们插什么嘴，在旁边静静听着就好。
火邈不以为意地点了点头：“一点没错。其实只要有了丹方，在药材选取、处理手法等方面并没有太大的区别。七品以上丹药最大的问题就在于炼丹时对天地灵气地吸收量太过庞大。四大家的独门绝技说穿了也就是在炼丹的过程中损耗的灵气比我们更少。也因此他们炼丹的成功率和丹药的品质比普通药师要高上一筹
。”
“天地灵气怎么可能不足？现在这种情况才会导致区域内的灵气不足吧！如果一个人炼丹的话，高级药师肯定会寻找一处灵气充沛之地炼丹才对。”药师学院
的几名学员在心里其实是很赞同云苔之前的论调的，只不过，他们没胆量说。
“五大禁地中央灵气倒是充足，问题是你们敢去吗？”白烈炎嘲笑道。
“即便侥幸到了中央，不用开炉，光是打开那些药材盒子，顶级药材的气味就足以引来大量的高级魔兽。”风莫说道。
“那以这种团体方式炼制一枚丹的成功率岂不是更高？”叶绵华兴奋地问道。
“那么谁为主，谁为辅呢？”在丹雷滚滚的轰鸣声中，白烈炎来了逗小孩的兴趣。
"Of course, the one with stronger abilities would be the leader," replied Ye Mianhua confidently.
"But why should that be the case when we are all seventh-grade pharmacists?" asked Bai Lieyan.
叶绵华不服气地回答：“七品药师之间的实力也有高低之分。”
"If it were you, would you be willing to always be a training partner and watch the other person's strength surpass yours?"
Ye Mianhua was at a loss for words. Not to mention being a seventh-rank pharmacist, even they would protest if the academy's resources were too biased.
"Young people, there is still a lot for you to learn."
“难道不能在刻画聚灵阵，在阵中炼丹？”云苔好奇地问道。聚灵阵啊，仙侠文里最常见的阵法。
Speaking of formations, the Wind Momo Empress naturally has the most authority to speak: "The Gathering Spirit Formation, as the name suggests, is a formation that gathers spiritual energy. I feel that it has a greater use for cultivating magical plants within the plant system. Given the current difficulty in cultivating magical plants,..."
If there is such a formation, there should not be a single sound of wind.
话虽如此，但在场的人都将‘聚灵阵’这个名字记在心里，打算回头好好打听。
“那孕灵粉尘呢？”云苔继续问道。这是出自某部最火爆的东方玄幻小说。
"What is Soul-pregnancy Dust?" Wen Nanshi couldn't help but ask.
“不知道，我只知道当炼制八品以上丹药的时候加入孕灵粉尘的话可以提高不少成功率，而且品质也会比普通的八品丹要好。”
听闻此言的药师眼睛立刻红了。
“从名字上我推测这孕灵粉应该是远古时候已经有人知道了灵气的本质，所以他们可以自空气或药材中提取出灵气，去除杂质，进行最高的提纯之后高压成为
Solid dust, easy to carry and use.
“别开玩笑，灵气看不见，摸不着，怎么把它变成固体？无中生有吗？”叶绵华跳了起来。刚刚他还觉得惭愧，一个比他年纪小的小姑娘知识却比他广博得多
Now he thought she was talking nonsense.
"Can we really do it?" Huo Mai's face was serious. Since the eighth-rank pill was effective, it goes without saying for the seventh-rank pill, right? He didn't realize that his hands were already shaking slightly. With several times the amount of seventh-rank herbs, their success rate
How could it not be heart-wrenching? With every investment, it feels like my heart is bleeding!
丹云覆盖住了整个天空，丹雷的轰鸣声更胜初赛。为了能够更清晰地听到云苔说地话，火邈毫不犹豫地扔出了一个顶级的隔音罩。
The actions of Huo Mai have attracted a lot of curious and exploratory attention from outside the field.
"Turning spiritual energy into dust, its several techniques and the production techniques of storage magic items are similar, so theoretically it should not be difficult to break through this technology. Our main problem now is how to purify the spiritual energy. Before purification, we must first understand what spiritual energy is, its structural components, and its attributes. Only when we have a clear understanding of all this can we have the possibility of successfully purifying it among numerous gases. In my personal speculation, spiritual energy should...
该和丹药一样是一个统称，它里面应该包含了多种微量元素……”云苔说道。
火邈一拍板，坚决地说道：“这个课题必须要开。”
天地之灵气，日月之精华。这个课题可不是一点点得大。
“老师，这个课题可不是短时间能出结果的。”云苔打着预防针。
“明白，这需要深入研究探讨。”
火邈的话换来几位皇级强者和六品药师的一阵闷笑。云苔的这句名人名言让多少皇城人郁闷，但成果同样耀眼得让所有人侧目。
