"Back to the dean, there are many strong enemies in this alchemist competition, but I will definitely try my best to win first place!"

The girl, that is, Shi Nian, showed a cute smile.

The visitor was a tall middle-aged man, Qiu Wu, who had been drinking tea with Su Zhi in the box earlier.

Qiu Wu is not only the lord of Yancheng, but also the dean of Danwu Academy.

Under his hands, many alchemists were trained.

The reason why he has a close relationship with Su Zhi is because the interests involved are too great.

There are many Xuanpin alchemists in his academy, and they will refine a large amount of elixirs for every competition.

These elixirs consume materials from the Suzhi Chamber of Commerce, and according to regulations, they must naturally be left to the Chamber of Commerce.

In this industry, although materials are valuable, they are not a big deal.

What is truly valuable is the craftsmanship of the alchemist.

Otherwise, no matter how much materials you hoard, you won't be able to turn them into elixirs.

The two teamed up to hold the Alchemist Competition under various names. It was said to be a test and training for those students. In fact, all the elixirs refined during this period would be taken by Su Zhi's business group and sold at high prices.

To Xiaoyue Dynasty.

This is a huge chain of interests!

Then why did Qiu Wu specifically come to warn Su Zhi this time?

Because the Three Mountains and Five Ridges established many rules very early on, no matter any chamber of commerce, they could never sell scarce resources to the Xiaoyue Dynasty. This would weaken themselves and strengthen others in disguise.

In order to obtain high profits, Su Zhi always ignored the rules.

Privately, he had a trade line with the Xiaoyue Dynasty, which lasted for more than ten years.

However, the war was about to start, and he had no choice but to stop this line.

The losses are absolutely astronomical!

"Back then, I was very optimistic about your talent. You have accumulated a lot of experience in the academy. If you can win the first place in this alchemist competition, it will be a transformation for you!"

Qiu Wu smiled.

At this time, I had no parents since I was a child, so I was admitted to Danwu Academy through my own efforts.

The key is that she is very talented in refining medicine, and she will definitely be able to become a holy pharmacist in the future!

In Qiu Wu's view, Shi Nian is a money tree that can bring him a steady stream of profits.

Naturally, we must protect her.

"I will never let the dean down!"

Shi Nian nodded heavily and set his ambition.

Half a day passed, and all the alchemists had finished competing, and the ten alchemists who were finally selected for the semi-finals were selected. They stood side by side on the stage, each with a calm expression.

At this time, Su Zhi walked out from the backstage with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately aroused cheers from countless spectators in the audience.

Su Zhi is a legendary figure in the land of three mountains and five ridges. He started from scratch, and in just a hundred years, he actually made his business group one of the top three. He has strong financial resources, which is not much worse than those of the big forces.

"Come and present the reward!"

Su Zhi smiled lightly and stretched out his hand.

Suddenly, a group of maids filed in. They were wearing cheongsam and had graceful figures.

There are various treasures placed in the trays in their hands.

Present them one by one.

"This time, our reward is unprecedented."

Su Zhi laughed loudly and said, "Of course, the requirements for you will also be increased. What follows will be three days of high-intensity medicine refining. This is not only a test of your opponent's skills and basics, but also a test of your mental strength.

, a test of will, only the truly tenacious can have the last laugh!"

"For three days?"

"High-strength refining medicine?"

“So exciting!”

Upon hearing this, many spectators immediately became excited.

Simply sounding it makes people feel that it is very enjoyable.

The whole audience was excited and felt that the rules of this competition were very interesting.

Only Qiu Wu frowned.

Su Zhi, Su Zhi, you are so greedy!

The high-intensity alchemy refining lasted for three days. It was like not treating the alchemist as a human being.

Is this because they want to take advantage of the war before it starts to stock up on a batch of elixirs, then raise the price and resell them at a high price?

It’s really yours!

The alchemists on the stage all looked shocked and looked at each other.

Does this mean refining the elixir for three consecutive days?

They have never experienced such a test in school.

At that moment, a young man with an arrogant expression shouted, "It's really ridiculous. We alchemists always focus on quality, not quantity. Such rules will only lead to bad consequences. If we insist on doing this, I, Ning Feng, will withdraw from the competition."

!”

"hiss!"

As soon as these words came out, many viewers gasped.

Ning Feng, he is the most talented alchemist among the nearby cities.

He was born into a family of alchemists, and has a very deep understanding of alchemy. Coupled with his outstanding talent, he has reached the peak of Xuanpin alchemist at the age of less than twenty years old. He is only one step away from breaking through and becoming a saint.

Alchemist!

There seems to be only one word difference between Xuanpin and Shengpin, but in fact their status is very different.

For others, it is difficult to break through from Xuanpin to Saint.

But for Ning Feng, it's just a matter of time.

This time, the showdown between Ning Feng and Shi Nian was also very exciting!

Both of them have the possibility of winning the championship.

Most of the audience actually came for these two.

If Ning Feng chooses to retire, only Shi Nian is left to stand out from the crowd, what else is there to watch?

Su Zhi smiled and was not angry, "Nephew Ning Feng, don't make a decision in a hurry. The Alchemist Competition is a test in various fields. Quantity is important, but quality is equally important. Besides, this time I can be said to be a

It’s a big investment, and each of the ten of you will have a reward. The higher the ranking, the more generous the reward will be!”

Ning Feng frowned.

He did not continue speaking, but waited for Su Zhi's next words.

As if guessing what Ning Feng was thinking, Su Zhi clapped his hands, and the red cloth on the tray was immediately uncovered.

Miraculous elixir, heavenly materials and earthly treasures!

The last time is the year of the millennium!

"Ivy? So long?"

"Is this ghost fireweed? It's really rare."

"Such a large millennium Ganoderma lucidum is worth a lot of money, almost even surpassing Xuanpin elixir, right?"

For a time, exclamations of exclamation arose one after another in the audience.

Even Ning Feng, who had previously insisted on withdrawing from the competition, looked surprised after seeing these rewards.

What surprised him was not these thousand-year-old elixirs.

Although the thousand-year-old elixir is precious, he is not without it.

The key to this elixir is that everyone has it. In other words, the thousand-year elixir is only the lowest reward!

Behind, there is more.

Sure enough, Su Zhi snapped his fingers, and several more trays were opened.

"This is... Lingyun Fruit?"

"Hiss, it's said that eating one of the Spirit Fruits can significantly improve your mental power!"

"It's going to blow up, it's going to blow up, Boss Su is really spending a lot of money!"
