Chapter 1492: Chapter 1512: Choice, One Opportunity! _1

When Lin Chen woke up, he left the brothel.

At the race field, it was already an ocean of people. Cultivators had surrounded the field packed to the brim, with even many people floating in mid-air, waiting for the competition to begin.

Today would see the start of the final and most intense rounds of the competition, and every one of the thirty-two remaining participating alchemists was an expert, so the competition would become even more fierce and brutal.

The thirty-two contestants gathered on the field, and the rules of the competition were announced immediately.

Contrary to Lin Chen’s expectation of a lottery draw and one-on-one knockout rounds to pick the final sixteen from thirty-two, all thirty-two alchemists would compete together!

The rules of this competition were relatively challenging; each alchemist would receive a big box of pre-processed medicinal herbs, with at least a few hundred kinds of herbs in the box.

The task of the alchemists was to refine a medicinal pill within a certain time using the available herbs. Whoever refined a pill of higher grade and quality was the winner!

In this round, twenty-four alchemists would be eliminated!

A further four-thirds would continue to be eliminated!

Reducing thirty-two to eight!

After hearing the competition topic, Lin Chen immediately understood that this round of assessment tested the alchemists’ comprehensive skills.

Firstly, you have to fully recognize these hundreds of medicinal herbs in a very short time. Secondly, you have to finish the arrangement and combination of these herbs in a short time. You have to judge which kind of medicinal pill can be refined by combining these herbs together, and whether this kind of medicinal pill is the highest-grade pill among these hundreds of herbs. Finally, you have to refine the medicinal pill and ensure its quality is as high as possible.

The time given for the competition was not long. There was enough time to refine a furnace of pills, but not enough to refine two furnaces. That is to say, everyone only had one chance to choose the medicinal pills, and the refining process could only be successful, it could not fail.

Choosing medicine with a grade that is not high enough, would mean failure!

A refining failure would also mean failure!

If you refine a medicinal pill of too low a quality, you fail!

This assessment is challenging, even if you find the highest-grade medicinal herb combination for a pill, you may not necessarily have the confidence to refine it successfully. You choose the medicinal pill you are confident in refining, but this medicinal pill may not necessarily be the highest grade, and it may not necessarily win the competition.

This competition not only tests the true skills of the alchemists but also tests an alchemist’s ability to make decisions, be decisive, and more.

Everything only has one chance, there are no second chances!

"The competition begins!"

With a loud shout from the referee supervisor, the thirty-two alchemists simultaneously opened the box with runes pasted on it, revealing the many medicinal herbs inside.

Lin Chen waved his hand and all the hundreds of medicinal herbs in the box flew up, hovering in front of him in midair.

Lin Chen’s divine sense scanned them one by one, and the information about these medicinal herbs instantly stirred in his mind.

Ancient Wood, can be used to refine Supreme Green Elixir as the main material, also needs seven auxiliary materials...

Yellow Jade Fruit, can be used as the main material to refine Yellow Jade Elixir, its grade is too low, I won’t consider it...

The information of the hundreds of medicinal herbs intertwined in his mind in an instant.

Five minutes later, Lin Chen finally decided on the medicinal pill he wanted to refine. With a wave of his hand, all the extra medicinal herbs flew back into the box. The selected medicinal herbs all fell on the operation table surface.

Black Bone Elixir.

The Black Bone Elixir that Lin Chen chose has a pretty high grade, but it is not the highest that these medicinal herbs can refine. The highest-grade should be the Rising Dragon Elixir, but honestly, Lin Chen is not 100 percent sure.

The ingredients for the Rising Dragon Elixir are very precious. Although Lin Chen knows the pill prescription and the key points of refining, he has never practiced it. Instead of risking everything on the Rising Dragon Elixir, it is better to take the second best.

He has refined Black Bone Elixir before, not 100 percent, but at least 90 percent sure, and the quality of the product will not be low.

After all, it is not competing for the only spot, as thirty-two will be reduced to eight, Lin Chen thinks there is no big problem.

As Zeng Tongxiu said, promotion is the most important thing.

If everyone else bets on the Rising Dragon Elixir and they all succeed, then Lin Chen would wholeheartedly admit defeat, he is willing to accept the loss!

Now that he has made a decision, Lin Chen doesn’t think anymore and starts refining the pill with no distractions.

He is very clear that there will probably be other alchemists refining the Black Bone Elixir. If he wants to win, the Black Bone Elixir he refines must be of extremely high quality.

Not far from Lin Chen, Zeng Tongxiu also spent about five minutes deciding on the medicinal pill he wanted to refine.

Rising Dragon Elixir!

He had tried to refine it once in his clan, but he failed that time. Because of the reason with medicinal herbs, he did not have the opportunity to refine it again.

Although he failed the only time he tried to refine it, Zeng Tongxiu had reflected on and found the reasons for his failure. Now that he is going to refine it again, Zeng Tongxiu believes that he will definitely succeed!

Of course, Zeng Tongxiu is gambling, but this gamble is based on his experience of failure and confidence in his strength.

After Zeng Tongxiu had made his decision, his gaze subconsciously glanced at Lin Chen’s position. However, the partitions on both sides of each assessment position obstructed his line of sight.

He could not confirm what medicinal herbs Lin Chen had chosen or what medicine he was preparing to refine.

It doesn’t matter!

Eyesight clenched his teeth, his gaze became determined and confident.

As long as I successfully refine the Rising Dragon Elixir, and its quality meets the standard, I will definitely be the winner!

Lin Chen?

I don’t believe he can refine the Rising Dragon Elixir!

I’m sure to win!
