Chapter 353: Enlightenment Elixir
Chapter 353: Enlightenment Elixir
The Cultivation Competition is different from the Combat Competition.
To ensure that the results are truly one's own, an on-site demonstration is required.
However, the on-site demonstration also involves confidentiality issues, so it has been set up as a semi-open competition.
Within the venue, ten cultivation rooms were set up, each isolated from outside view.
Before entering the cultivation rooms, inspections are conducted to ensure that no cheating occurs.
Once inside, regardless of the cultivation project, participants can conduct experiments without any disturbances or prying eyes.
The only task for the contestants is to press the button to open the cultivation room before the four-hour trial period begins.
If they feel that the next steps will not involve leaking confidential information, or even if they don't mind the leak, they can open it earlier.
"Demonstrating the evolution from a three-tailed cat to a four-tailed cat should allow me to enter the final stage." Inside the lotus-shaped cultivation room, which was also within the flower bud, Li Qian didn't hesitate and immediately began the evolution process.
Li Qian actually had all the materials required for evolution, but as a contestant, he could obtain them directly from the organizing committee, so he chose to take advantage of the situation.
"It's so boring, I wonder which cultivation room will be the first to open?"
"I've said it before, don't come to watch the cultivation competition. Every time, the cultivation competition is the most boring."
"If this cultivation room doesn't open soon, I'll fall asleep."
"..."
In the audience, the spectators couldn't help but whisper as they looked at the flower bud-like cultivation rooms.
"Don't worry, your Elder Brother Qian will definitely pass the preliminary round."
Today, Sun Ruirui and Mo Ziyu were also watching the competition, and the latter spoke with a playful smile.
Sun Ruirui smiled and said, "With Elder Brother Qian's abilities, passing the preliminary round is definitely not a problem."
"I'm just curious about what results he will bring..."
Mo Ziyu said, "You'll find out soon enough."
Just as the two women were discussing, the first flower bud opened in the competition area.
It wasn't Li Qian's cultivation room.
When the flower bud opened, a young man wearing glasses, thin and small, appeared inside.
At this moment, the young man's gaze was entirely focused on the cultivation room, where there was a lab bench.
On the lab bench, a pale blue test tube elixir was displayed quietly.
The pale blue elixir, perhaps due to being freshly prepared, still emitted a faint glow.
"This is the Enlightenment Elixir, which can enhance the wisdom and intelligence of beasts."
Pointing at the pale blue elixir on the lab bench, the thin young man introduced, "After consuming this elixir, the beast's racial potential can be significantly improved."
Hearing the young man's introduction, many spectators in the venue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Some special spectators, especially those from intelligence agencies of large companies, stared intently, as they often mingled among various experimental bases and cultivation bases.
When new achievements emerge, they swarm like sharks sensing blood.
This Freshman Challenge Competition, although just a freshman competition, shouldn't, in theory, have a very high level or standard.
They come here not only to watch the combat competition but also the cultivation competition. While results are one aspect, another is personnel assessment.
If they discover any potential newcomers, whether skilled in combat, cultivation, or other areas, they will approach them through investment.
Of course, such investments are never without expectations.
These big companies invest in high-potential freshmen like him for future returns.
After graduation, students are either directly employed by these companies for a certain period or cooperate with them.
Most often, it's the former.
Even before entering the Shazhou Beast Taming University, Li Qian had received investment offers from companies in Lingshui City, Yunlan City, and even some in Jiangsu Province.
But after listening to Teacher Chu Xiran's introduction, Li Qian didn't accept any of them.
Li Qian wasn't opposed to cooperating with these beast companies, but he believed that cooperation should be mutually beneficial.
For now, Li Qian's research hadn't encountered any unsolvable problems.
In the future, as his research deepens and he inevitably needs to access higher-level resources, Li Qian will consider this.
Shifting the topic back to the competition venue, the skinny boy was proudly displaying the enlightenment elixir he had just developed.
His introduction piqued the interest of many.
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder in green robes suddenly appeared, taking a few steps and stopping beside the skinny boy.
The moment the green-robed elder appeared, some sharp-eyed spectators recognized him.
"He's... President Ma Ji, the Vice Dean of the Cultivation Academy at Kansai Beast Taming University, the Vice President of the Kansai City Breeders Association, and the President of the Alchemist Association."
"So many titles, it seems this old man is really impressive."
"Not just impressive, let me tell you, in the field of beast elixirs in Xi Ping Province, he's among the top five."
"If your beast receives his training, its racial potential can increase by three or four ranks effortlessly."
"That's incredible!"
"..."
Those familiar with the inside story made it clear to the audience why President Ma Ji was so impressive.
Everyone's gaze shifted to the elder in green robes.
The elder had white hair and looked old, but his figure was exceptionally agile.
With just a few steps, he seemed to have shrunk the distance, appearing right in front of the skinny boy.
"Let me have a look," he said, pointing to the pale blue test tube elixir.
The skinny boy understood that the elder was here to inspect the results, so without hesitation, he handed over the test tube elixir.
The green-robed elder took the test tube and waved his hand.
Suddenly, a black finch flew over from somewhere and landed on the elder's shoulder.
The elder smiled and poured the pale blue test tube elixir onto the small bird perched on his shoulder, which swallowed it.
"Is he testing the elixir?"
The audience instantly realized that President Ma Ji was testing the elixir.
Testing it right there and then was indeed a bold move.
The test didn't last long; after about three minutes, President Ma Ji spoke, giving his verdict, "The enlightenment elixir is good. It can indeed enhance the racial potential of beasts, but the improvement is limited. For beasts below the Overlord rank, it's about one small rank, and for Overlord rank and above, it has almost no effect."
President Ma Ji's words disappointed the skinny boy, but he quickly cheered up.
Even if it could only enhance the racial potential of Overlord rank beasts by one small rank, its value was still significant.
Passing the preliminaries would be a breeze.
