The alchemist competition finally began amidst everyone's expectations.
Hongyue Lingxiao then slowly announced the rules of the competition. The competition was divided into three rounds, and an elimination system was implemented.
There are a total of forty-eight alchemists who have passed the qualification review and are eligible to participate in the alchemist competition. Most of the alchemists will be eliminated in the first round, and only twenty alchemists can enter the second round.
Most of the twenty alchemists who entered the competition in the second round will still be eliminated in this competition, and only eight alchemists can enter the final round of competition.
As for the third competition, as long as you get the top three, it means you have won the alchemist competition and you can get the Red Moon Grass from Red Moon City.
Red Moon Grass is not nominally a reward for winning the competition, but a reward for the alchemist to treat the Lord of Red Moon City.
For the sake of fairness, Red Moon City will only announce the specific content of each competition on the spot.
"Thank you all very much for coming to participate in this alchemist competition held in Red Moon City."
On the giant platform built by Hongyue City on the outskirts of Yuedong Village, Hongyue Lingxiao talked about the opening remarks of this alchemist competition.
The platform was surrounded by cultivators, each cheering for the alchemist they knew well, and more cultivators came here to join in the fun in Yuedong Village.
Ling Xuewei and other alchemists who had already qualified for the competition stood in four rows on the platform, waiting patiently for Hongyue Lingxiao to talk about the specific rules of the competition.
Several days have passed, and Ling Xuewei's huge bet of 40 million yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones is still a topic that everyone talks about.
In the middle of the platform, Ling Xuewei and He Xiujie from the Heavenly Beast Sect became the focus of everyone's attention.
In the eyes of many people, this competition is no longer a competition between alchemists, but a duel between Ling Xuewei and He Xiujie.
There is no doubt that Ling Xuewei and He Xiujie stole most of the limelight in this competition.
The most powerful alchemists in Cang Yun Realm look down upon this competition, but for most alchemists, this competition is an excellent opportunity for them to become famous.
Ling Xuewei and He Xiujie stole the limelight, leaving much less attention to other alchemists. This made many alchemists who hoped to show their face through this competition feel helpless.
He Xiujie had qualifications and background, and other alchemists did not dare to do anything to He Xiujie, so everyone unanimously directed their anger at Ling Xuewei.
Ling Xuewei has been living in seclusion these days, and many people can't find a chance to deal with Ling Xuewei. Standing on the platform, Ling Xuewei can feel the hostile eyes from all directions.
"I believe that everyone can't wait to know the content of today's first alchemist competition. Since it is a competition between alchemists, the content of the first competition is naturally the refining of elixirs that everyone is most familiar with.
"
As soon as Hongyue Lingxiao finished speaking, the scene exploded.
As Ling Xuewei analyzed from the beginning, it is very unrealistic to try to make elixirs.
Because the higher the level of the elixir, the more time it takes to refine it, and the chance of success is very low.
This is a very unsuitable project for competition.
Firstly, it is impossible for everyone to waste so much time on a single competition. Secondly, if the elixir refining fails, the judging will not be carried out.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Hongyue Lingxiao coughed lightly. All the cultivators present knew that Yuedong Village was the territory of Hongyue City. No one dared to act recklessly here. Although everyone had objections to the content of the first competition, everyone still
It soon became quiet.
"I know what everyone is worried about. There will indeed be all kinds of troubles in refining high-level elixirs, and just one day of competition is definitely not enough, so the content of our competition this time is not refining.
High-level elixirs, but refining the most common low-level elixirs."
"Low-level elixir? How can this be compared?"
Hongyue Lingxiao's explanation not only failed to reassure everyone, but actually made the surrounding cultivators feel even more unreliable.
"No matter how hard you refine the low-level elixirs, they will never be the same. The elixirs refined by everyone are the same. How can you tell the winner?"
"Of all the people who have qualified for this alchemist competition, no one is a rookie!"
If the difficulty of refining high-level elixirs is 100%, then the difficulty of refining the most common low-level elixirs is only 30%.
For an experienced alchemist, if he wants to get 80 points in refining elixirs, he cannot guarantee that he can achieve this result every time, but if he wants to get 30 points, he basically has to keep his eyes closed.
Even the eyes can do it.
Low-level elixirs are only worth thirty points of difficulty. This is a score that most alchemists can easily obtain, so it is simply impossible to judge the level of an alchemist based on low-level elixirs.
One thing.
"Have you finished speaking?"
Hongyue Lingxiao was unhappy.
The cultivators who were watching the excitement were cursing and had interrupted him several times.
The alchemists participating in the competition on the stage, because everyone around them were opponents, they had no one to discuss with, so it was not that noisy.
However, Hongyue Lingxiao could still see from everyone's eyes that they were not very satisfied with the arrangements for the first competition in Hongyue City.
"This is an alchemist competition organized by Red Moon City. I, Hong Yue Lingxiao, have the final say on how the competition will be conducted! You guys haven't even listened to the rules and are just chirping here. Anyone who has any objections to this competition should give it to me.
I'm getting out of Yuedong Village! You are not welcome in Red Moon City!"
Hongyue Lingxiao shouted domineeringly at the people around her.
The audience around the high platform suddenly fell silent.
Red Moon City is not someone to be trifled with, and they don’t want to be thrown out of Yuedong Village.
Seeing that the situation was finally under control, Hongyue Lingxiao continued to talk about the rules of the alchemist's first competition.
"All the contestants in this competition need to refine a total of twenty kinds of elixirs. Don't worry, these twenty kinds of elixirs are low-level elixirs. They are characterized by short refining time and high success rate! The competition time
There are two hours in total. If you do not refine all twenty kinds of elixirs within two hours, you will not participate in the rankings and will be eliminated directly!"
Twenty different elixirs were refined within two hours.
After Hongyue Lingxiao finished explaining the rules, no one thought this competition was easy anymore.
All the alchemists participating in the competition also quickly made calculations in their minds.
It takes two hours to refine twenty kinds of elixirs. On average, ten kinds of elixirs will be refined in one hour, and five in half an hour.
This is a bit similar to the original qualification review question, except that during the qualification review, four kinds of elixirs, two spiritual elixirs and two poisonous elixirs, were refined within one stick of incense, which is half an hour.
The formal competition was indeed much more difficult than the qualification review. Not only did the number of elixirs needed to be refined within half an hour increased, but the time was also four times longer than before.
"Then what are the twenty kinds of elixirs we are going to refine?" the alchemist participating in the competition asked impatiently.
Although the refining of low-level elixirs is very simple, it still depends on the type of elixir. Among low-level elixirs, the refining process is not uncomplicated.
Refining twenty kinds of elixirs in two hours is still very tight. If any of the twenty kinds of elixirs are particularly tricky to refine, then the chance of them being eliminated is also very high.
"You need to refine twenty different kinds of elixirs. As for the specific types of elixirs you want to refine, before the competition, please each contestant write down the name of a low-level elixir for other contestants to read.
After that, and the elixir that has been passed can be refined in the competition, you can put it in the sealed box in the center of the platform. It is up to you to decide what elixir you want to refine." Hongyue Lingxiao continued.
Such a novel competition method immediately aroused everyone's interest.
It is up to the contestants to decide the elixir to be refined. If the elixir written on the note is too easy, it will simply give points to the opponent. But if it is too difficult, the person may be cheated in the end.
It will be myself.
Simply refining one elixir with a complicated refining process is naturally not a problem. If all twenty elixirs are complex, it is unknown whether these alchemists can complete the competition within the specified time.
The important thing is that all test questions placed in the middle of the wooden box must be approved by other alchemists.
If the refined elixir is too tricky, other contestants may not agree to it.
"The content of the competition is to refine twenty kinds of elixirs, but there are more than forty alchemists participating in the competition!" Someone soon discovered that the numbers did not match up.
The alchemists participating in the competition have many more types of elixirs than the types of elixirs that need to be refined in the competition.
Then it is destined that not every elixir written by an alchemist can become a topic in this competition.
"For the sake of fairness in the competition, after the competition officially begins, I will ask the villagers of Yuedong Village to come to this wooden box to draw the twenty kinds of elixirs for this competition. I believe no one will have anything to say about which one is chosen!
"In order to avoid suspicion and ensure the fairness of this competition to the greatest extent, Hongyue Lingxiao was not even willing to get involved in such things as drawing test questions.
This attitude of Red Moon City has attracted unanimous praise from the surrounding cultivators. Everyone is willing to believe that the only way to win this alchemist competition is to rely on the alchemist's true ability.
"Then what are the criteria for judging this competition?" Everyone asked quickly, "If we just look at who can complete this competition within the specified time, we won't be able to eliminate many people!"
"Regarding the refining of low-level elixirs, we will naturally not talk about the success rate of refining the elixir, but we will look at the quality of the elixir, whether it is a human elixir, a Yuan elixir, a spiritual elixir, an elixir, a divine elixir, or a low-level elixir.
At best, elixirs can only reach the level of spiritual elixirs." Hongyue Lingxiao explained the specific scoring details in a leisurely manner.
