NOVPUBAt this moment, she was deeply pained. Just a few days ago, she participated in a martial arts competition but regrettably stopped in the top 36. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Now, she has been eliminated from the alchemy competition, which she valued even more. Mei found herself at the most difficult point in her life.
In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. She quietly left the stage and walked to the rest area. Seeing the young leader's sorrowful demeanor, the other members of the Black Eagle Tribe also felt a heavy heart.
The team leader, Najib, wanted to console Mei but found himself unable to speak, knowing that words would be powerless at this moment.
A loss was a loss. At this moment, Najib even wished that he had been the one eliminated, rather than the promising young Mei.
He was deeply concerned that this failure might cause Mei's alchemy career to falter irreparably. Following Mei, two more alchemists from the Black Eagle Tribe took the stage. However, due to either lack of skill or bad luck, they were also eliminated.
In the end, the top 4 list included only one member from the Black Eagle Tribe, Najib, while the remaining three spots were taken by the White Tiger Tribe and the Viper Tribe.
Notably, the Viper Tribe made a surprising comeback at the last moment, with two of their members advancing to the top four.
This marked a historic best performance for that tribe. While some were celebrating, others were in despair.
In stark contrast to the Viper Tribe's exuberant celebrations, the atmosphere for the Black Eagle Tribe was one of gloom and silence.
The semifinals were scheduled for the following day, so after the announcement of the top four, the Black Eagle Tribe members were the first to leave the venue.
They retreated to a nearby tent that belonged to the Black Eagle Tribe to rest. Many tribe members wanted to comfort Mei, but were stopped by Najib.
"Let the child have some quiet time."
Hearing the leader's instructions, the others refrained from disturbing Mei. Mei sat alone in her tent, quietly wiping away her tears.
"Mei, may I come in?"
At that moment, a clear voice sounded from outside the tent. Upon hearing the voice, Mei quickly dried her tears and stood up to welcome Ethen inside.
"Ethen, what brings you here?"
"Can't I come by just to chat?"
Ethen smiled slightly and sat down without hesitation. He looked at Mei and softly said, "I watched your match carefully just now. It's unfortunate that you were eliminated, but it was inevitable."
Upon hearing this, Mei's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment. "I'm sorry to have let you down."
"Actually, Mei, you don't need to be sad. I just observed your pharmaceutical methods and found some similarities with what I've learned. If you're interested, we can discuss pharmaceutical matters."
Ethen said.
Discuss pharmaceutical matters?
Mei's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Ethen and blurted out, "You know how to make medicine?"
Hearing this, Ethen nodded, "I have some knowledge."
His words completely shocked Mei. However, after a moment's thought, Mei accepted the fact that Ethen could make medicine. After all, someone who even Lord Holy Totem regards highly wouldn't be strange for knowing pharmacy.
Seeing the surprised expression on Mei's face, Ethen paused for a moment before saying, "The Heart Concealing Pill you just refined, if undisturbed and successfully condensed, would have a quality no lower than the one refined by Kamal, meaning it could score around 8 points. However, in my eyes, there are indeed areas for improvement. For example, if you switch the order of adding the second ingredient, [wood ash], and the third ingredient, [pearl powder], it should yield better results..."
Ethen's words caused a huge shock to Mei. She had been studying alchemy for many years and had never heard of adding [pearl powder] before [wood ash].
This was something she found difficult to accept at first. Teacher Najib did not teach this way...
However, with her pharmaceutical knowledge, after a bit of thinking, she realized that switching the sequence of these two ingredients wasn't theoretically impossible.
Immediately, Mei's mind was set in motion, and she decided to give it a try. As the saying goes, practice brings true knowledge. Whether the theory works or not can be determined with a simple test.
Without hesitation, Mei took out her alchemical cauldron and other pharmaceutical tools from her storage space. As a pharmacist, she had the habit of carrying her tools with her at all times.
Ethen stood by, quietly observing Mei as she worked. His understanding of pharmaceutical knowledge was largely improvised on the spot.
While watching the competition earlier, Ethen was astonished to discover that the medicines crafted by the pharmacists of the Edge Three Tribes were exactly the same as those recorded in the "Beast Taming Alchemy" manual he had obtained from the Sky Piercing Black Eagle.
This discovery left Ethen deeply surprised.
After all, the "Beast Taming Alchemy" manual contained alchemical recipes suitable for magical beasts.
Typically, the pills suitable for beasts and those suitable for humans different greatly and are not interchangeable.
But the recent facts told him that on the Wind Splendor Domain, the pills crafted and consumed by people were indeed beast medicines.
Why did these tribal people not experience any adverse reactions from consuming beast medicines, and instead, even benefit from them?
After considering it, Ethen believed this should be related to the fact that the local tribes are all part of the "Spirit Attachment" civilization.
The 108 tribes of the Wind Splendor Domain
practice cultivation through a method known as spirit attachment, which essentially involves emulating the ways of beasts in their training.
Over time, this practice has gradually aligned their physical constitution with that of beasts.
It is under these circumstances that they can directly consume beast medicines without suffering any adverse effects.
Of course, this is merely Ethen's hypothesis. He hasn't had the opportunity to delve deeply into the specifics.
