Chapter 286: Potions Competition (Two)

Everything was ready, and the contestants on the stage had selected the materials and seats, then they all concentrated on extracting and purifying.

Yu Qing Qian was the last to choose materials. After seeing the materials chosen by others, she roughly guessed the potions they were going to refine.

Among them, the potion Leng Ling Shuang was going to refine was the highest grade of potion, and its quality was of a class-4 position. The refining of this type of potion was relatively complicated. It could improve the cultivation base of those below Five-leaf Spirit General and was rather short on supply on the market, so it could be regarded as a very good option.

If Yu Qing Qian wanted to take first place, then she naturally had to be better, so she chose to refine a medicinal liquid that could temper the body of a Five-leaf or above Martial General-level Body Tempering Master. Such a medicinal liquid was relatively rare, and its refining required high control of mental energy, and its grade had already reached grade-5.

High-level body tempering medicinal liquid were very rare. If it were sold on the market, the supply would definitely not exceed the demand and would be sold out immediately.

Old students and freshmen began to extract and purify one by one.

Yu Qing Qian also crushed all the materials for blending, and after completion, placed them in the cauldron provided by the judges.

Her hands were placed on both sides of the cauldron, her mental energy and healing energy acting on the vessels in the cauldron at the same time. A stream of green energy overflowed from her hands and flowed into the cauldron continuously.

Yu Qing Qian was very quick. When she started extracting and purifying, the others had only started blending, and only Leng Ling Shuang caught up with her.

Time passed little by little, and two hours later, a strong fragrance emerged from Yu Qing Qian’s refining cauldron, indicating that she was nearing the end.

Leng Ling Shuang also smelled the fragrance, then her look changed. Her mind was in a daze, almost causing the cauldron to explode, so she hurriedly returned her attention to the cauldron.

After a while, Yu Qing Qian opened the cauldron and a red liquid appeared in the vessel, which looked extremely clear.

About a cup of tea’s time later, Leng Ling Shuang also finished refining the potion—it was a bottle of green medical liquid. The colour was crisp, but the clarity wasn’t as high as that of Yu Qing Qian’s.

Leng Ling Shuang still had a calm smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with a haze. Judging from her experience, the potion refined by Yu Qing Qian should be slightly better than hers.

Right now, under the mask of indifference, Leng Ling Shuang had the urge to go crazy. She really wanted to rush over and smash Yu Qing Qian’s potion vessel, but she held back.

She had always thought that she was a blessed child of the Heavens, to have been able to regress and rise to great success. In addition, she had been living smoothly for more than a decade and had used the advantage of her prior knowledge to obtain many resources and opportunities, which made her feel that all good things should belong to herself, and it should be her who took the limelight each time.

But she never expected that Yu Qing Qian would suddenly emerge from somewhere, and was like her nemesis, always against her. She was actually being suppressed by her.

For the first time, Leng Ling Shuang felt killing intent towards this variable, Yu Qing Qian. Fortuitous opportunities were all hers, she wouldn’t allow anyone else to snatch it from her.

Soon, everyone on the stage had finished refining the medicinal liquids, and the judges stepped forwards to check it one by one.

Then the judge stepped forward and said to the two Elders: “Yu Qing Qian extracted and refined a Body Tempering Potion, and its grade is grade 5. The control of mental energy is very precise and perfect. The level of the potion is advanced, but it is close to expert-level. To reach this level at such an age, her achievements can be said to be a genius among geniuses, and deserves to be ranked first.

“Leng Ling Shuang refined an improvement potion of grade-4. Her potion level is also advanced-level. Being able to reach an advanced-level Apothecary at such an age also shows she is an Apothecary genius with high talent, ranked second.

“…”

Then the judge announced the third place. Most of the students from the five Academies were all dumbfounded. Yu Qing Qian’s talent was too terrifying.

What they least expected was that Leng Ling Shuang, who had been glorified to win the Potions Competition, actually lost, which was really hard for many to accept.

Most importantly was that not only were the first places in the individual competitions this time all taken by freshmen, but Yu Qing Qian even won two championships in a row. This really wasn’t a pattern that mere mortals like them could understand…
