Chapter 147: Equally matched

Looking at the six pill bottles placed in front of him, the old man surnamed Wei nodded slightly.

He slightly bowed his hands to Elder Liang and Master Gou, who were standing with his apprentice, took a bottle of pills refined by Mei Liu, pulled out the stopper, and began to examine them.

“To judge the quality of an elixir, the first thing to do is to smell it, then observe its color, and finally determine its quality.

What Mei Xiaozi refines is the Golden Radiance Pill, which can heal the internal injuries suffered by the monks.

Because this elixir uses musk from spotted muskrat as an auxiliary ingredient, it will emit a strong fragrance, but if you smell it up close, it will have a slightly fishy smell.

After I smelled it just now, I found that the smell was very pure, and I passed the first level.

Secondly, this elixir comes in two colors, white with a hint of light yellow, and Mei Xiaozi’s one also meets the requirements.

So according to my judgment, the six golden radiance pills in this bottle are all of medium quality.

I wonder if any of you have any objections to this result? "

Xu Feng glanced at Mr. Liang and found that he kept nodding. He instantly understood what the master meant.

Moreover, Mr. Wei's judgment was well-founded and he was very convinced, so he handed over his hand and said:

"Mr. Wei, we have no objection!"

Alchemist Gou and Mei Liu also held a positive attitude towards this and did not raise any questions.

Then Mr. Wei began to review the second bottle of elixir, but this time he chose the elixir refined by Xu Feng.

This is done both for the sake of fairness and to keep the outcome of the game in suspense until the very end.

However, this situation will only happen if both parties have equal levels of alchemy.

If the gap is too big, the winner may be announced in advance after two rounds of evaluation.

"What Xu Xiaozi refined is a spirit-reviving elixir that is more common among first-level middle-grade elixirs. It is relatively low-difficulty."

When he heard this, Xu Feng, who listened humbly, accidentally saw a contemptuous smile on the face of Mei Liu across from him.

This made his mood deteriorate instantly, he stared and said:

"Disdainful, right? Are you laughing? There will come a time when you can't laugh anymore!"

Mr. Wei obviously didn't notice the little moves between the two, and the comments continued.

“But when you smell it and look at its color, it’s both top quality and mid-range quality.

but..."

Mr. Wei's turning point made people understand that something must have happened.

Sure enough, because the porcelain bottle was not transparent, others did not know how many pills were inside.

Master Gou Dan and his apprentice thought that there should be no more than six.

What Mr. Wei poured out just now was indeed six, but he didn't pour it all at once. There was one left in the bottle, and he didn't pour it out until now.

"this..."

Mei Liu was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw.

However, after being glared at by Master Gou, he shrank his neck and did not speak again.

"In the first round of competition, I declare Xu Feng the winner."

Seven versus six, the result is clear at a glance and no one can refute it.

As a master, Mr. Liang naturally had a smile on his face when his apprentice won. Xu Feng was equally happy.

However, the expressions of master Gou Dan and his disciples were thought-provoking. There were doubts and disbelief, but they did not show any signs of discouragement.

This made Xu Feng, who had been observing his opponent, understand that this competition might not be as simple as he thought.

Sure enough, it turned out that his worries were not unnecessary.

In the next second round, he lost to Mei Liu as expected.

Just because he had only six Qi Restoring Pills, while the other party had seven Pulse Repair Pills, the other party was well prepared.

In fact, Mei Liu's idea was that when he and Xu Feng competed, they would draw in the first round, and then from the second round onwards, the opponent would be crushed by him, and in the end he would win heartily.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Feng, the sixth person, actually didn't follow common sense and put the best-performing pills at the top, causing his plan to fail.

"It doesn't matter if we're tied one to one. There's still a third round next, right? What I like most is to kill my opponent at the last minute!

I just don’t know if you are ready to accept failure? "

Mei Liu stared at Xu Feng and smiled sinisterly, thinking at the same time.

Then, the third round of evaluation, which is the round that determines the outcome, begins.

For the sake of fairness, Mr. Wei changed his method this time. He no longer criticized someone's elixir alone, but asked the other person's master to join him.

In this way, no matter what the final result is, people can be convinced.

The first person to start the review was still Mei Liu's elixir. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the last elixir that both parties chose was the Wenyang Pill.

"The taste is pure, the color is round and full, it's a very good middle-grade elixir. Brother Liang, what do you think?"

After Mr. Wei commented, he turned to ask Mr. Liang who was standing aside.

Although both of them had wrinkled faces and white beards and hair, there was still light in their eyes when facing the elixir.

After all, this is an industry they have dedicated their lives to, and their feelings are particularly strong.

"Well, I agree with Mr. Wei. The furnace of elixir refined by Master Mei's nephew is not only of high quality, but also contains seven elixirs. The performance is impeccable.

Junior brother, you have found a very outstanding successor! "

Mr. Liang put the elixir in his hand back into the porcelain bottle, and then said to Alchemist Gou.

"Senior brother, you are so complimentary. Your old disciple Xu, I believe he will not disappoint us either."

Alchemist Gou laughed dryly and brought the topic back to Xu Feng.

In his opinion, this competition was no longer suspenseful, and his apprentice was sure to win.

He had a basis for such speculation.

Xu Feng took out Huiling Pill, Fuqi Pill, and Wenyang Pill in turn.

The difficulty of these three kinds of pills gradually increased.

Xu Feng made seven Huiling Pills, six Fuqi Pills, and the last Wenyang Pill, no need to guess, no more than six.

With a winning mentality, Master Gou Dan walked up to Mr. Wei and prepared to taste Xu Feng's pills with him.

The pill bottle was grabbed and the stopper was pulled out.

Except for Xu Feng who looked relaxed, the hearts of the people present were tightened.

One, two, three..., the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The pills refined by Xu Feng were also seven, exactly the same as Mei Liu's.

Seeing everyone staring at him in astonishment, Xu Feng touched his nose and thought with a smile:

"If it's so easy for people to guess my cards, how can I survive? You're all dumbfounded, right?"

Old Wei, Old Liang, and Master Gou were all speechless. In this situation, they didn't know what to do, because the performances of the two were about the same, and it was hard to say which one was better.

However, Xu Feng didn't think so, and reminded them:

"Old Wei, Master, Uncle Gou, although my pill looks like an ordinary pill from the outside, it is special inside. You can try it."

Wenyang Pill is a pill that strengthens the physical strength of cultivators. Long-term use can slightly enhance the strength of the physical body. It belongs to the category of tonic.

It can be taken by people with or without diseases, so Xu Feng made this suggestion.
