I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 101 - 100: Preliminary Round (Part 18)

In the hall, Wendao looked at the high-level Star Beasts called Gold-Swallowing Birds lying all over the place, unable to move, feeling both gratified and emotional.

"Director Jin, in this competition, Li Xing’s flexible use of medicine serves as a reminder for your Healing Master Department! I hope you can write a summary report for me and redesign the Harssas Academy’s Healing Master Department’s study plan. You must take this seriously, as this matter might change the role and status of Healing Masters in battle teams."

Jin Hua nodded solemnly; she understood the principal’s intention. Healing Masters hold a high social status but have low combat power, traditionally serving as support roles in battles.

If medicines produced by Healing Masters are no longer limited to healing effects, then their influence in battle will greatly increase. Having an excellent Healing Master would be equivalent to having a massive destructive weapon, a key factor in determining the outcome of a battle.

Wendao: "Li Xing, this young girl, has limitless potential."

Luo Jun smirked: "Principal, she’s still young, too many spotlights could make her conceited, I advise you not to spoil her!"

Wendao thought carefully, realizing Luo Jun’s words made sense, and immediately instructed Director Jin and Zhou Song to act normal outwardly but to take care secretly, as for Luo Jun, no need to mention her, she was always the one to play the bad cop.

Zhou Song adjusted his glasses and pointed at the screen, "What are they doing?"

Luo Jun: "You’re getting old and your eyes are failing. Isn’t that Li Xing directing them to collect bird feces?"

Wendao puzzled: "Collecting bird feces for what? Director Jin, is it common in the prescriptions?"

Director Jin hesitantly said: "Not common, but before the Immortal Separation Period, there were many records of applying animal excrement, secretions, metal minerals, and the like in prescriptions."

Wendao nodded: "The wisdom of the ancients is beyond us. When you have time, you should also look into ancient books; you might find unexpected benefits."

"Yes."

————————

The ground was full of bird droppings, making it easy to collect, and Cui Tianxiao handed a jar full of warm bird droppings over to Li Xing, holding back his disgust.

"Xing, can you tell me which medicines have poop added to them?"

Everyone’s ears perked up; they were curious too but didn’t dare to ask.

If both the Red Medicine and Blue Medicine had it, then should they continue taking it?

Not taking it would be a pity with such good efficacy, but taking it means there’s poop in it!

"Rest assured, the medicines you’re currently taking don’t have any."

Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness, it was a false alarm.

Cui Tianxiao: "Xing, if you make any medicine using poop, urine, snot, or the like, please don’t give it to me!"

Li Xing rolled her eyes at him: "Fine, I won’t."

Qian Xiaowu: "Sister Xing, if he doesn’t want it, I do! Name your price; I’ll pay any amount!"

Ever since experiencing the miracle of the Red Medicine, Qian Xiaowu has been especially attentive to Li Xing. Even though he is a year above Li Xing, he insists on calling her "Sister Xing," just like Qi Ming, but Qian Xiaowu doesn’t feel that it devalues him at all.

Just after resolving the crisis of the Gold-Swallowing Bird, many people appeared at the entrance of the mountain pass, brought by Liu Yuan, teams of all sorts arrived.

"Oh my God, it’s a Gold-Swallowing Bird!"

"So many? Are they dead?"

"Doesn’t seem like it, they’re still breathing."

Compared to the seven people in the gorge, the Gold-Swallowing Birds lying all over the ground undeniably drew more attention. It seemed a fierce battle had taken place, ending with a complete defeat of the Gold-Swallowing Birds.

"Damn it, they scared the bird shit out of the Gold-Swallowing Birds!"

All teams with not-so-pure motives, planning to take advantage of the chaos, were inwardly startled and began to consider retreating.

The Gold-Swallowing Birds have metallic feather blades all over, making them hard to handle, yet such a large group was completely wiped out; the prowess of the Rebellion Team is terrifying. Trying to snatch badges from such a team requires having what it takes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A boy with a large white-eyed look came to the front from the crowd and shouted loudly: "Everyone don’t be scared. After fighting the Gold-Swallowing Birds, the Rebellion Team is already a spent arrow, everyone go together, grab the badges!"

The crowd thought carefully and realized it made sense. The Gold-Swallowing Birds are not easy adversaries; even if the Rebellion Team could win, the Primordial Spirit is likely already depleted, so why not now? Encouraged, everyone followed the boy with big white eyes, rushing towards the gorge.

"Boom——!"

Suddenly, white smoke rose up on the road ahead, and the boy running at the front accidentally inhaled it, coughing a few times.

Suddenly, he found himself unable to see, and his face felt heavy. He reached for his eyes and discovered his eyelids were swollen like steamed buns.

Others, seeing the boy’s miserable state, immediately retreated and dispersed, with the timid already taking out antidotes and swallowing them.

The Star Beast Forest is full of hazards; who knows which poisonous plant the boy might have stepped on just now. Those spores, mycelium, can travel far and wide; if it affects them, they’d be in trouble.

The boy also thought he had carelessly stepped on a poisonous plant, cursing his bad luck in his heart, and groped to take out an antidote from his space button, trembling as he tried to put it in his mouth.

An even more terrifying thing occurred to him; he couldn’t find his mouth, and the antidote spilled all over his collar.

The boy’s hands groped across his face, finding an enormous lump of flesh below his nose, sagging down to cover his chin.

The boy took nearly a minute to grope around and finally confirmed this sagging lump of flesh was his two lips, and he immediately fainted.

Cui Tianxiao painfully covered his eyes; this scene was so familiar, but why did he feel like laughing when viewing it from a third-party perspective?

Li Xing warned: "Whoever dares to take another step will end up like him!"

Could it be that the boy with the big white eyes turning into a freak was Li Xing’s doing?

"Don’t be afraid, it was just an accident, everyone drinks the antidote for precaution!"

Li Xing helplessly watched as a group of people took out antidotes and drank them, stepping over the big white-eyed boy’s body, heading towards them again.

Li Xing lightly tossed, and another Beauty Pill landed, white smoke spreading.

The few leaders in the front immediately held their breath; just now they saw perfectly clearly, the big white-eyed boy was poisoned after inhaling the white smoke, so as long as they held their breath, they’d be fine.

It’s a pity they underestimated the Beauty Pill; its transdermal absorption had an even better effect. After the white smoke dispersed, three more grotesque swollen eyes, thick-lipped monsters appeared more exaggerated than before.

The livestream viewers were having a blast.

// Hahaha, they’re so ugly! //

// Made into an emoji pack, message if you want it. //

// Guys, I saw Li Xing throw something at them, and then they transformed. Could it be Li Xing did something? //

// Damn! If that’s true, Li Xing is terrifying. //

// Treasure life, stay away from Li Xing. //

// Is this for sale? Really want to buy—— //

// Count me in, wait till the competition ends and ask Sister Xing, maybe there’s a group discount. //

// +1! //

...

Watching a few people get their vision blocked by swollen eyes, losing direction, stumbling around, their thick lips flapping, Cui Tianxiao held his belly: "Hahaha, they’re so damn ugly, serves you right! Oh my stomach hurts, I’m laughing to death!"

Now, no one dared to move anymore, for no one wanted to become a monster and be remembered as an emoji.
