Out of the three of them, two were male and one female.
Female alchemists were rare; even rarer than Alchemists.
Because the higher the level of the Alchemist, the more mental strength it needs, lesser women could do this.
The most important thing was that women have more mental strength than men, but this situation becomes different after giving birth to a child.
Obviously, this person was one of a kind.
From Liu Qinyue’s introduction, Baili Hongzhuang learned that the only female Alchemist, named Chu Jiyou was a fourth ranked alchemist and she was very well versed in alchemy.
Not only that, but Chu Jiyou has never married, and all her thoughts have always been placed on the study of alchemy.
Out of the other two alchemists, the man who had a slightly rounded face was called Lin Hao, and just as the meaning of his name, he was very proud and was easy to get along with.
The other tall and thin old man was named Chen Yiyu. He was also a fourth ranked alchemist, and he has been secretly competing with Lin Hao on weekdays. This was a fact that was known to the entire Alchemist association.
Huan Chuyou and the three Alchemists were old acquaintances, and their relationship was very good. Previously, when Huan Chuyou said that he was going to visit old friends, was to visit them.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled and nodded; Huan Chuyou as a fourth ranked Alchemist, and as the president of the Alchemist association’s Canglan City branch, his acquaintances will not be less.
However, the next moment, the news of Liu Qinyue surprised the Baili Hongzhuang.
“Hongzhuang, do you know why Chen Yiyu and Lin Hao like to fight against each other?” Liu Qinyue smiled.
Baili Hongzhuang’s brows slightly raised, “Is there any reason for this?”
Liu Qinyue’s smile broadened, “That’s because Lin Hao and Chen Yiyu, both of them like Chu Jiyou, so they have always liked to compete in alchemy over the years. There are many people who knows of this matter.”
Hearing these words, Baili Hongzhuang was amazed. She didn’t expect Lin Hao and Chen Yiyu to be so jealous at such an old age. It was really interesting.
Upon taking a closer look, Baili Hongzhuang could also find a bit of a clue. Both Lin Hao and Chen Yiyu were standing beside Chu Jiyou, almost sandwiching her in the middle. Obviously, both of them really like her.
Seeing the situation, the smile on her red lips widened by a bit. The characters of the three seniors should be legendary.
After Jian Qingqiu’s introduction on the identity of the three Alchemists, the alchemy contest commenced.
“Now, let’s start the competition. The first question will be drawn by the Vice – Principal of the Canglan College!” Jian Qingqiu laughed.
Huan Chuyou slowly stood up, and a cylindrical container was placed in front of him. A number of paper rolls that had already been prepared was in the cylinder, and Huan Chuyou directly extracted one of them and untied the rope, and read out the topic written on the paper roll.
“First question: Classification of medicinal materials. The ingredients required for two different pill formulas are placed together. The participants from each college are required to identify the pills, classify the herbs accordingly for the two pills, and remove some unwanted herbs. The first team to finish will score three points, the second team will score two points and the last team to finish will score one point.”
Hearing this, everyone understood why, both Lingyin College and Beihai College sent two Alchemists on the stage. In regards to competing as a team, Liu Qinyue would have been at a disadvantage if they had sent only her; it required team effort after all. Fortunately, they still have Baili Hongzhuang!
