In the afternoon, the time for the second match arrived.
The vast plaza grew lively once more.
Chen Feiyu, Wu Ruojun, and the other six contestants stood on the rostrum. On the plaza below, several tables had been set up, laden with a wide variety of medicinal herbs, including such precious ingredients as ginseng, *lingzhi*, and fleeceflower root.
There were also various tools required for alchemy, such as steaming furnaces and purification vials. However, these tools were far too crude, presenting a disparity as vast as clouds and mud when compared to Chen Feiyu's Emperor Heaven Cauldron.
Long Hanqiu stepped onto the rostrum again holding a microphone, drawing the gaze of everyone present as he announced in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the second match is alchemy. Based on the level of difficulty, I have eight medicinal formulas here.
Once you have chosen a formula, you may go to the adjacent herb zone to find the appropriate ingredients to conduct your alchemy. Once successfully refined, the four patriarchs will evaluate the results and assign appropriate scores.
Naturally, the more difficult the chosen formula, the higher the final score. Do any of you have any questions?"
"Wait," Feng Huaxuan suddenly interjected. "How are the eight formulas to be distributed?"
