Immortal Dao Conference, third-grade alchemist competition site.
A Kunlun Nascent Soul Patriarch looked at Li Yu and said in disbelief: "You are going to participate in the third-level alchemy master competition. Can you refine third-level elixirs?"
Li Yu shrugged and said, "I haven't practiced it before, but I have read the elixir recipe and the notes of a third-grade alchemist."
When it comes to alchemy, practice is more important than theory. Moreover, Li Yu's cultivation is only foundation building, which is far from meeting the requirements for refining third-level elixirs.
He looked at Li Yu and asked: "But your magic power..."
Li Yu stretched out his hand, and a purple flame appeared in the palm of his hand. He looked at the Yuanying Patriarch and said: "Senior Zhao from Emei lent me this spiritual fire. There should be no problem with the elixir fire."
"But you have just refined three furnaces of second-level elixirs. Your body..."
"Please, let me try."
The Yuan Ying Patriarch looked into Li Yu's eyes and saw that his gaze was extremely firm, and finally said: "Okay, but you do what you can and don't show off."
Kunlun has ten places for each level of the third-level alchemy master competition. Now five people have temporarily withdrawn, leaving five places left. Anyone below the fourth-level alchemy master can participate.
The Kunlun disciples looked at the figure resolutely walking towards the competition venue, with only admiration in their hearts.
He was only a second-grade alchemist, but when facing these third-grade alchemists, he stood up resolutely.
And he had just experienced an extremely mentally draining competition.
Compared with those third-grade alchemists who betrayed the sect, that slightly thin figure looked extremely tall at the moment.
At this time, the immortal cultivators who were watching from the stands also noticed the figure and expressed doubts one after another.
"Isn't that Li Yu?"
"Third-grade alchemist competition, what is he doing here?"
"It's useless for him to go up there. Can he refine the third-level elixir?"
Even immortal cultivators who are unfamiliar with alchemy know that without the cultivation of the golden elixir stage, it is impossible to refine third-level elixirs. Although Li Yu's alchemy talent is high, it is impossible to break this rule.
The mana fire in the foundation building stage is not refined and condensed enough, and cannot be integrated with the materials of the third-level elixir.
However, when Li Yu finished selecting the materials, purified the spiritual liquid, and began to refine the elixir, the people who had been paying attention to him were surprised: "Hey, why is his magic fire purple?"
The mana fire of the righteous disciples should be red, and it was the first time for almost everyone to see the purple flame.
Among the crowd, an alchemist explained: "That is not the magic fire. If I remember correctly, it should be the Ziwei true fire, which is an extremely rare fire spirit. Currently, in the world of immortal cultivation, there is only one fourth from the Emei sect.
It is owned by a high-level alchemist. It is recorded in ancient books that immortal cultivators in ancient times could use this fire spirit to make up for the shortcomings of their magic power and refine elixirs beyond the level. However, it requires extremely high talent and alchemy attainments, and to refine them
The quality of the elixir is not high..."
After some explanations from the alchemists, everyone finally understood that Li Yu was challenging these third-level alchemists.
Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, this courage has moved many people.
The Yuanying Patriarchs and Jindan Elders of various sects looked at the figure on the water curtain who was seriously refining elixirs, and felt extremely envious in their hearts.
Why doesn’t their sect have such disciples?
Even the elder of the Tiandao Sect in the late Nascent Soul stage looked more serious and murmured: "It would be great if he was my disciple of the Tiandao Sect..."
Kunlun Cave.
The soundproof formations on each peak have been removed, so that all Kunlun disciples can learn the news of the Immortal Dao Conference as soon as possible.
They had already learned from Wu Tong that five third-level alchemists in Kunlun had betrayed the sect and joined the Tiandao Sect before the competition. They also knew that Li Yu, who had just finished the second-level alchemy competition, jumped over to participate again without rest.
Third-grade alchemist competition...
He never flinched in such critical moments.
In Yuxu Palace, many Yuanying Patriarchs are also paying attention to the situation thousands of miles away.
In the main hall, a spirit snail was suspended in the void, and Wu Tong's voice came from it: "It's started, it's started, Li Yu has started refining..."
…
At the third-level alchemy competition site, Li Yu completely handed over his body to the alchemy furnace in his body, feeling that it was easier than refining second-level elixirs.
He didn't need to provide mana, nor did he need to distract himself from refining the elixir, so he naturally felt extremely relaxed.
For this competition, three types of elixirs need to be refined, namely the third-level Qi Restoration Pill, the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Pulse Extension Pill. Although Li Yu has never refined it, he is already familiar with the refining process. As long as the materials are not
If you make the wrong choice and the order of the ectoplasms is correct, there won't be any problems.
This true crape myrtle fire has been cultivated for hundreds of years by powerful men in the late Nascent Soul stage. It is more than enough to refine third-level elixirs. As long as the materials are available, Li Yu is even confident of refining fourth-level elixirs.
Refining third-level elixirs is very difficult. Even a third-level alchemist cannot guarantee success in every batch. The refining time of a batch of elixirs is often more than five hours.
Only three hours had passed, and several third-level alchemists had failed to refine them and had no choice but to be eliminated.
Among them, there are even two third-level alchemists from Tiandao Sect.
The five alchemists in Kunlun, as well as the five alchemists who originally belonged to Kunlun and later joined the Tiandao Sect, were obviously stronger than the others. There were no mistakes when refining the first batch of elixirs.
What surprised people was that the refining process of Li Yu was actually very smooth.
Doesn't this mean that although he is only a second-grade alchemist, he is stronger than those failed third-grade alchemists?
There are many alchemists in the world of immortality who have enough magic power but cannot keep up with the alchemy talent. In his case, he has extremely high alchemy skills but cannot keep up with the magic power.
Another hour passed, and alchemists started to open the furnace one after another.
It is easy to produce top-grade elixirs that are not in the first level, but it is very difficult to refine top-grade elixirs with second-level elixirs. As for third-level elixirs, if you can refine top-grade elixirs, you can
It has surpassed most alchemists.
In this competition, among the thirty or so third-grade alchemists, less than ten refined top-grade pills. The rest were all mid-grade pills, and there were even low-grade and inferior pills. As for super-grade and top-grade pills, there were none.
.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, although Li Yu was the last one to finish the refining, he actually also refined a top-grade Qi Restoration Pill, which was not inferior to these third-grade alchemists at all.
Of course, he is only a second-level alchemist. Even with the help of spiritual fire, forcing him to cross-level alchemy will cause great damage to him.
After refining this furnace of elixirs, his face was extremely pale and he could not even walk steadily. His body had obviously reached its limit.
Half of this was Li Yu's pretense. After all, if refining a higher-level elixir was as easy as refining a second-level elixir, it would really be unreasonable.
The other half is true. After five hours of refining, he himself had to provide mana and used a lot of rejuvenation pills. It was indeed a big drain on his mind.
Seeing that he was so tired, the elders of Kunlun immediately took him back to the stand to rest. Several Nascent Soul Patriarchs took turns transporting mana into his body, and various pills to strengthen his vitality and replenish his energy were also prepared for him.
.
Refining third-level elixirs takes a long time and requires a lot of attention. Refining a batch of elixirs, plus the rest time, takes a full twelve hours.
After Li Yuda slept for several hours, the second competition had begun.
The second round of refining was the Foundation Establishment Pill. The difficulty of the Foundation Establishment Pill was higher than that of the Qi Restoration Pill. A Nascent Soul Patriarch looked at Li Yu’s pale face and couldn’t help but said: “Otherwise, just come
Let’s stop there, don’t force it…”
Refining elixirs beyond a certain level is extremely labor-intensive, and if you force yourself to overdraw, you may suffer irreversible damage.
Kunlun can lose the first place in the competition, but it must not lose Li Yu.
Li Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I can still hold on."
After saying that, he stood up and slowly flew towards the competition venue below.
I don't know since when, few people have paid attention to the third-grade alchemist on the field. It seems that even the result of this competition is no longer that important. Everyone's eyes follow the movement of that figure.
After returning to the field, Li Yu continued to refine slowly.
He was not in a hurry anyway, he would first see what quality of elixir someone else could refine.
The foundation building pill is more difficult than the Qi Restoration Pill. Even a third-level alchemist cannot guarantee the success of the furnace. Five hours have passed, and several alchemists have been eliminated, leaving only twenty-four alchemists on the field.
Teacher, Li Yu is also among them.
This round of elixirs has a lower quality rate.
Surprisingly, only four people refined top-grade elixirs, and the rest were all average-grade and low-grade.
These four people are all from Kunlun, but only Wang Hua represents Kunlun. The rest were alchemists from Kunlun a day ago, but now they are members of the Tiandao Sect.
Li Yu had the lowest cultivation level, so it was normal for the refining time to be longer than others. He was the last to open the furnace, and the elixir he refined was still of the highest quality.
With his cultivation in the foundation building stage, he can surpass most third-grade alchemists. He is also the first one since the Immortal Dao Conference.
The price was that after the furnace was turned on, he collapsed on the ground with no color on his face. Kunlun's Yuanying Patriarch took him back to the stand, and took turns using magic to help him recover.
Compared with the calmness and calmness of the second-level alchemist during the competition, refining third-level elixirs beyond the level is obviously his limit.
At this moment, there are only a few hours of rest time before the third competition, and the refining of the third vein-expanding pill is more difficult than the previous two. Even if his alchemy skills allow him to refine the pulse-expanding pill,
But can his body still hold on?
This question arises in the minds of countless people.
As soon as Li Yu woke up, he learned from the Kunlun disciples that those third-level alchemy masters had started refining an hour ago.
They all have the cultivation level of the golden elixir stage, and their souls are extremely powerful. After refining a batch of elixirs, they can quickly recover their minds and will not be as overdrawn as Li Yu.
Li Yu stood up with support on his body and heard several voices in his ears.
"Senior Brother Li, forget it!"
"Yeah, it's just a competition..."
"If the Tiandao Sect wants to be number one, just give it to them."
…
All the Kunlun disciples showed their unbearable expressions. In this Immortal Dao Conference, he had already brought too many honors to Kunlun. He should not and had no need to bear these things that he should not have to bear.
Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan also looked distressed, while Zhao Xiner was full of regrets. She really shouldn't have made blind ideas just now. If something happened to Senior Brother Li, she would die of guilt.
Faced with everyone's dissuasion, Li Yu patted Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li's hands and walked out without hesitation.
There is no reason to give up halfway on this kind of thing.
If the Tiandao Sect dares to give him a fifth-level elixir, he will take it.
The last competition among third-grade alchemists is undoubtedly the one that attracts the most attention. In previous Immortal Dao Conferences, whoever gets the first place in this competition is truly the first person among third-grade alchemists.
The first place in the previous competitions was Zhao Guangxuan from Kunlun.
However, Zhao Guangxuan died unexpectedly a few days ago, so the outcome of this competition was a little more uncertain.
Wu Boyong, Wang Hua, Sima Yan, Gao Yuan, etc. of Tiandao Sect are all the best among the third-grade alchemists. Originally, this competition was completely a personal show of the Kunlun alchemists, but unfortunately several of the best third-grade alchemists in Kunlun
The alchemists were all recruited by the Tiandao Sect, and Wang Hua could not support himself alone...
Although there are still many people who place their hopes on Li Yu, after all, he is only in the foundation building stage. He has already refined three batches of second-level elixirs, two batches of third-level elixirs, and the last batch of pulse-opening elixirs.
At this time, the whole person has obviously reached the limit. Although the body is still upright, it is trembling slightly, and the sweat on the forehead is clearly visible.
Even so, his eyes remained firm.
At this moment, even the disciples of Tiandao Sect were in awe of him.
This is what a real man should do!
Time passes slowly.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours...
It was not until six hours later that alchemists started to open the furnaces one after another. Among them, the alchemists outside Kunlun and Tiandao Sect refined many inferior elixirs with only one elixir pattern. Even several alchemists from Kunlun only produced
I bought a middle-grade elixir with two elixir patterns.
Even in Kunlun, the middle-grade Tuo Mai Pill already meets the requirements.
Top-grade pulse-opening pills are usually made by those fourth-grade alchemists.
Wang Hua collected the elixir fire and opened the elixir furnace, his face a little ugly.
Although he rarely refines waste elixirs, the rate of high-quality elixirs is not very high. There is about a 30% chance, but that is when he is in excellent condition. Today, these five people stabbed in the back at a critical moment, and he is extremely angry.
Ping, the alchemy was also affected by some effects, and only one middle-grade pill was refined.
Soon, Wu Boyong and Sima Yan also opened the alchemy furnace.
Two high-grade elixirs have undoubtedly announced the results of this competition.
The Qi Restoring Pills, Foundation Establishing Pills, and Pulse Expanding Pills are all top-grade pills without exception. There is not even one mid-grade pill. Although there is no super-grade pill, it can be seen that they have perfected the refining of these pills.
Li Yu is still refining, but it is difficult for him to change the result.
Even if he also refined a high-grade elixir, the refining time would be longer than that of these powerful golden elixirs. According to the rules, when the elixir pattern and elixir quality of two people are the same, the one with the shorter time will be the winner.
As the last third-grade alchemist finished refining, Li Yu was the only one left on the field.
At this moment, he has obviously reached his limit.
His body was shaking violently, and sweat gathered into a pool of water at his feet, but the flames under his hands remained stable.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly withdrew the flames.
However, he did not open the alchemy furnace, but fell straight down.
No one was surprised by this. With his cultivation in the foundation-building period, he had refined six batches of pills in succession, three of which were beyond the level of refining. His body and mind should have reached their limits, but he was just holding on.
When he let out his breath, he fell into a coma due to mental exhaustion.
This is a kind of self-protection of the immortal cultivator's body.
Kunlun's Yuanying Patriarch immediately took Li Yu back without even opening his alchemy furnace.
Regardless of whether he has refined the elixir or not, he is still the hero of Kunlun.
But this was a formal competition after all, and a referee came over and opened the alchemy furnace that Li Yu had not opened.
However, when he looked at the alchemy furnace, his body shook violently.
On top of the elixir, there are only two elixir patterns.
But two!
Two middle-grade pulse-opening pills, four pill patterns!
In this competition, he refined a total of three furnaces and four pills, with a total of ten pill patterns, surpassing all the third-level alchemists present!
When the perspective of the water curtain was given to Li Yu's pill furnace, there was silence for a moment, and then it completely exploded.
"Two pills!"
"He refined two more!"
"Two medium-grade elixirs, four elixir patterns!"
"He didn't pursue the quality of the elixir. He just wanted to win with quantity from the beginning!"
Everyone was in disbelief. Even Kunlun's Nascent Soul and Golden Elixir experts had never expected that Li Yu, as a second-grade alchemist, would actually overpower all third-grade alchemists and create another miracle.
And those third-level alchemists who left Kunlun and joined Tiandao Sect also stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
They actually lost, to a second-grade alchemist, a junior in the foundation-building stage.
Several people were familiar with Li Yu and recognized his talent in alchemy. Among the younger generation, no one could beat him, but they never thought that they would lose to him in the third-level alchemy competition.
Kunlun Cave.
Waves of deafening shouts came from the peaks, and countless Kunlun disciples were extremely excited.
No matter how Tiandao Sect has countless means, one person from Kunlun is enough.
Facts have once again proved that that man is worthy of trust at all times.
Yuxu Palace.
Wang Daoxuan thought for a moment, looked at the happy Yuanying Patriarchs, and made a decision in his heart.
The secret realm of heaven.
Several powerful people who transformed into gods fell into silence for a long time.
For this alchemy exchange, Tiandao Sect made extremely careful arrangements.
The powerful man who became a digital god would not hesitate to die personally.
At a huge cost, several of Kunlun's best third-level alchemists were instigated in advance.
In the case of scarcity of high-level alchemy materials, the existence of Kunlun's three fifth-level alchemy masters does not have much significance. If this exchange of alchemy can comprehensively suppress Kunlun and the Tiandao Sect's alchemy lineage, it will be able to
Instead, recruit more alchemists and absorb more powerful people, so that you can deal with the upcoming catastrophe more calmly.
But no one expected that their well-thought-out plan would be ruined in the hands of a small foundation-building monk.
A strong man who transformed into gods said: "It is impossible for a person to have no desires and demands. If he doesn't want strength, you can give him power. If he doesn't want power, you can give him a woman. There are tens of thousands of female disciples of Tiandao Sect, let him choose.
Don’t you believe that he is so loyal to Kunlun?”
The headmaster of Tiandao Sect waved his hand and said: "I have investigated him through Kunlun's hidden secrets. With this person's character, it is unlikely that he will be used by our sect. There is no need to exert any more effort. If he takes the initiative to come and is rejected, Tiandao Sect will
Where should I put the Zong’s face?”
When the powerful man who transformed into gods heard this, he stopped talking.
What the headmaster said makes sense. For Tiandao Sect, the sect’s reputation is far more important than one or two talents.
Even though he has extraordinary talents in alchemy and formations, what Tiandao Sect lacks most is talent. Their goal has been achieved in this Immortal Dao Conference, although they encountered a little trouble in Kunlun.
It's a small setback, but it doesn't affect the overall situation.
However, after careful thought, the powerful god-transformer said: "It is indeed difficult to actively recruit him, but what if he takes the initiative to join?"
The leader of Tiandao Sect said: "How to make him take the initiative?"
The powerful god-transformer said leisurely: "We can give him the Five Spirit Veins Golden Pill, and Kunlun can give it to him. It is indeed not a big temptation. I heard that this person's only shortcoming is lustful, and no one in Kunlun has accepted him yet.
He is a disciple. If a certain Avatar of our sect is asked to accept him as a disciple, help him break through every bottleneck, and help him find a few Taoist companions with outstanding talents and looks, will he still refuse?"
"What if he still doesn't agree?"
"Haha, we don't have to take the initiative to find him this time and let the low-level disciples spread the news. Even if he disagrees, the sect will not lose anything. On the contrary, it can show that we are thirsty for talents. Kunlun has no expression for such disciples. I
Let’s see how many people they can keep in Kunlun…”
