After Ruoxian won the third game, Lin Zheng and his party left the swordsmanship competition venue and moved to the alchemy competition venue. There were acquaintances present to participate in the competition, and the feeling was different. Some spectators came late.
They could only crowd each other around the entrance of the venue, but Lin Zheng and the others were able to stand in front of the participants' resting shed and watch the event up close.
"Brother Lin Zheng!" As soon as Xiao Yu'er saw Lin Zheng and the others, she immediately flew towards him with a face full of surprise, hung it on Lin Zheng's neck and swayed with laughter.
Sure enough, she is still a little girl who has not grown up! Lin Zheng touched Xiao Yu'er's forehead with a smile on his face, "You're doing great, Xiao Yu'er, keep working hard and try to win today's competition!"
"Yes!" Xiao Yu'er nodded happily, "I will definitely work hard."
"Sister Zhengyan! Brother Huo Shang! Hello!" Xiaomeng, who was following Lin Zheng, greeted Zhengyan and the others energetically. This way of addressing him was really dumbfounding. Zhengyan is the master of Huo Shang.
You call Zhengyan your sister, and you call the fire dealer your senior brother. These are the same thing!
They couldn't help but laugh as they came forward and greeted each other, then said honestly, "Don't Xiaomeng and Ruoxian have to participate in a swordsmanship competition? How come they still have time to come here?"
Humph! Xiaomeng showed a proud smile and replied, "Our game is over and we have successfully advanced!"
You just have a fight, okay girl? Under the smiling eyes of everyone, Ruoxian ran forward and said, "The day after tomorrow the top 16 of this competition will be decided. Then everyone must go over and see me and Xiao
What a cute performance!”
"Okay!" Zhengyan smiled and nodded, "I'll definitely go there when the time comes!"
After looking at the two happy girls, Lin Zheng smiled at Zhengyan and said, "What is the content of today's game?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, but it will be soon!"
After finishing speaking, the fire merchant said, "The number of people participating in the alchemy competition is relatively small. Today's competition will determine the top sixteen of this year, so the content of this competition may not be that easy."
Is this the battle for the top 16? But yes, alchemy is a money-burning business. Except for the support of sect forces, ordinary casual cultivators really can’t do it, so the number of participants is naturally only
It's impossible to be like the Wushu competition, where you have to play three games in one round.
After chatting for a while, suddenly, a loud sound of gongs echoed in the valley, causing the entire venue to fall into a brief silence. When the sound of gongs subsided, there was a white man on the other side of the judging panel.
The old man with a beard stood up. Lin Zheng knew that old man. He was the old man with white hair who led the Xuanhu Temple disciples to launch a crusade against the Master of Jade Machine.
"That's Senior Brother Zhengde." Zhengyan introduced softly from the side, "After Master Jade Machine was executed, Senior Brother Zhengde temporarily replaced me as the leader of Xuanhu Temple."
"What a disaster that is."
"It's over." Mentioning the disaster caused by the people on the Jade Machine, Zheng Yan's mood seemed a little low. Lin Zheng glanced subconsciously and caught her gaze. He said straight away, "Let him go in the past, Xuan Hu
If you have a profound foundation in Observation, you will definitely get better."
After hearing this, Zhengyan showed a smile and said, "I have no doubt about this, it's just..."
"A big tree must have dead branches. Xuanhu Temple has been passed down for so many years, and it is inevitable that there will be a few unscrupulous disciples. However, this time, the ability of this unscrupulous disciple is a little greater, so it is really not a big deal."
When Zhengyan came to his senses, Lin Zheng reminded him, "Your senior brother has begun to read out the content of this competition."
After Taoist Zhengde read out a long paragraph of words of encouragement to the participating alchemists in a formal manner, he finally got to the point.
"The content of this round of competition is very simple!" Taoist Zhengde spoke slowly and in a low voice, which made many listeners quite dissatisfied. You should speak faster! You are a famous alchemy master. Of course, what is in your eyes?
They are all very simple, but not necessarily for us.
After hearing a dry cough coming from behind, Taoist Zhengde sped up his speech, "The content of the competition is to remove rotten pills. I believe that all the contestants present are familiar with this."
"What kind of elixir is the rot-removing pill?" Youruo asked curiously, "The name seems a bit weird."
Lin Zheng smiled when he heard this, "The Rotting Pill is a third-level elixir, and it is the kind that can reach the third level. It is a relatively basic elixir."
Hearing this, Zhengyan next to him said helplessly, "You can't always evaluate it from your own perspective! The third-level elixir is already a relatively precious thing for ordinary cultivators, but for many alchemists
, it’s not that easy to refine it.”
"I can refine it!" Xiao Yu'er immediately raised her hand seriously, "And I can refine it very well!"
Hearing this little guy's childish words, Zhengyan laughed happily, then touched her head lovingly and said, "Of course it's not a problem for us, Xiao Yu'er, but we can't be careless when the official competition begins.
!”
Na! Na! Youruo shook Lin Zheng's arm, "You've been talking for a long time, what exactly is this rot-removing elixir? What effect does it have?"
After looking at the curious stupid girl in a funny way, Lin Zheng explained, "As its name describes, the Anti-corrosion Pill has the effect of regenerating muscles and removing rot.
A relatively good healing medicine." As he spoke, Lin Zheng showed a somewhat malicious smile, "In addition, it can also turn rotten meat back into a fresh state, so some practitioners who are not good enough often
Keep some with you in case you need it."
Make rotten meat fresh again? Well, this sounds like a very practical effect, but as long as you imagine it, it will feel quite bad. After all, when you realize that the thing you want to eat is originally a ball of rotten meat, you may not know how to do it again.
I can even vomit out my dinner.
Xiao Mo and Liu Li obviously felt a little uncomfortable. After retching, they severely punished Lin Zheng. "You idiot, why did you say such disgusting things!"
After hearing that the content of the competition was simple elixirs such as rot-removing pills, many contestants showed joy on their faces. Obviously, these are people with relatively limited abilities. To put it bluntly, their brains may even be due to their old age.
They were a little stiff because they were in the alchemy room! They didn't think about it carefully. It was already the battle for the top sixteen. Can the questions that came out at this time be simple?
Under the worried gazes of some alchemists, Taoist Zhengde announced the judging criteria for this competition.
"In this competition, the refining time of the elixir will be used as an important basis for evaluation! There is no time limit, but the score will be evaluated based on the time spent in refining. The full score is 10, and the minimum can be 0
, so all players should be well prepared before taking action to avoid wasting precious time."
"The last time I refined the Rotting Pill, it took me an hour." Xiao Yu'er said with some worry, "I don't know how many points I can get this time with such a result."
"Don't worry!" Zhengyan smiled and held down the little guy's head, "You have been practicing the fourth- and fifth-turn elixirs recently. The last time you refined the anti-rot elixir was a long time ago, right?"
Xiaoyu'er thought for a moment, and then answered truthfully, "Four months."
"Then it's no problem!" The fire merchant said firmly. This little guy doesn't even look at how much he has been able to gain recently. Four months ago, you couldn't even get out the fourth-level elixir, but now you can't even get the fifth-level elixir.
You can refine the level 3 pills, but are you still worried that you can’t master a level 3 entry-level elixir?
The words of Zhengyan and Huo Shang gave Xiao Yuer a lot of confidence. After calming down, she continued to listen to the subsequent evaluation criteria.
The Corruption Elixir is a very simple three-level introductory elixir, but simple things often test the alchemist's ability more! The purity of material quenching, erysipelas rate, fusion rate, and elixir formation rate are the most basic of a furnace of elixirs.
All aspects have become the focus of this competition! When Taoist Zhengde announced these judging criteria, many alchemists turned pale on the spot, and Lin Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.
Obviously, these white-faced alchemists are all like Xu Jinqiu whom they met before. They pay too much attention to the level of the alchemist, so they try to attack higher-level elixirs at all costs to refine the purity, erysipelas rate, and fusion.
Rate, elixir-making rate? None of this has anything to do with them. As long as they can refine a fifth-level elixir, why wouldn't they be treated as honored guests? Indeed, with the preciousness of alchemists and elixirs in the world of cultivation,
To a certain extent, even the fifth-level alchemist who is trending again does not have to worry about his job. Unfortunately, this is the Immortal Sect Competition, a grand event to encourage the growth of cultivators. Their utilitarian method of alchemy is here.
It won't work.
"Now, all contestants, please be prepared. You can choose any of the alchemy furnaces at the venue, and the timer of the competition will start counting the moment you enter the alchemy furnace boundary. I wish you all can get the best results for yourself.
Satisfactory results!" After saying that, the old man returned to the judging table, and then the whole venue became uproar, and everywhere was filled with the discussion of the audience.
"Master! Then I'm going up!" Xiao Yu'er clenched her fists and looked very serious, looking quite cute.
Just when Lin Zhengti sneaked away from the female gangster Tifa, Zhengyan nodded to Xiao Yuer with a smile on his face, "Go! Don't be nervous, just perform as you normally would when refining alchemy."
"Yes!" After nodding, Xiao Yu'er looked at Lin Zheng expectantly. When she met her gaze, Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Pay attention to the fire. When refining elixirs, controlling the fire is always the first point.
!" Xiao Yu'er is still young, and her cultivation level is the lowest among all the contestants! Without fire, she can only rely on her own strength to condense the true fire of Samadhi. This is Xiao Yu'er's biggest shortcoming, and she is different from other contestants.
In comparison, she still needs to put a lot of effort into maintaining her Samadhi True Fire, which is usually fine, but in this game where time is the score, once she is slightly negligent, the score will be gone!
Xiao Yu'er had obviously just realized this problem. After hearing Lin Zheng's reminder, his little face was filled with surprise, and he immediately smiled admiringly at Lin Zheng and said, "Thank you, brother Lin Zheng!"
"You're welcome! Come on, try to get a score in the top three!"
"Yes!" After nodding happily, the little guy jumped towards the alchemy furnace in front of him full of energy. He looked full of vigor and made everyone smile. He was really a lovable person.
Where's the little guy?
Next to each alchemy furnace, there were three large hourglasses standing upright. When Xiao Yuer stepped into the barrier where the alchemy furnace was located, one of the hourglasses immediately turned upside down, and the fine sand slowly began to flow.
.But Xiao Yu'er didn't even pay attention to those hourglasses. At this moment, she felt that she was in very good condition and would definitely be able to refine a very good batch.
The rot-removing pill, so after appearing on the stage, the little guy jumped directly towards the treasure box where the materials were placed.
After opening the treasure box, Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but blinked as she stared at the medicinal materials. She saw a dazzling array of medicinal materials placed in the treasure box. The types far exceeded the needs for refining the anti-corrosion elixirs. Not only that, even those anti-corrosion elixirs
The quality of medicinal materials also varies.
Uncle Master, those old men are too cunning! Xiao Yu'er, who was staring at the medicinal materials, couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. When announcing the rules of the competition, the old man only said that the materials came from Tiandao Valley, but he did not say what the materials looked like.
!Now, before the contestants refine the elixir, the first thing they need to face is the problem of materials. If they do not have a full understanding of the medicinal materials, it is easy to make mistakes when selecting the materials, because there are
The appearance and even smell of many materials are very similar! After identifying the required materials, the contestants still need to select better quality ones. Otherwise, if they get low-quality goods, they will just be quenched.
Refining medicinal materials will already cost you your life, but you still have to buy a few seconds!
However, this kind of cunning method is not difficult for Xiao Yu'er. She has studied under Zhengyan for so many years, and the most time she spent was distinguishing various medicinal materials. When Lin Zheng saw her for the first time, she was still doing this
As for these things, the classification and advantages and disadvantages of these medicinal materials, she has long been extremely familiar with them! So after finishing muttering, the little guy quickly picked out the best quality materials needed for rotten pills from the treasure box.
Compared with the little guy who moved quickly, many contestants who opened the treasure box clasped their heads and howled on the spot. Zhengyan shook his head and sighed for a while. These people could not even do the most basic identification of medicinal materials. The current alchemist circle is really too bad.
You are a little impetuous! These things are not meant to be known only to the Immortal Sect, but are things that every alchemist will be repeatedly told when they first get started. Zhengyan even believes that among these people who are scratching their heads, there are still people who are interested in his disciples.
Her disciples had warned her, but when it came to her, she didn’t take it seriously at all. This was really puzzling for a traditional and rigorous alchemist like her!
Seeing that Xiao Yuer's refining work was on the right track and the fire control was quite in place, Lin Zheng nodded happily. If this girl continues to grow like this, she has a bright future! At this time, Liuli poked him
When Lin Zheng reacted, he immediately turned around and saw Yin Yangren, dressed in white and snowy, calmly stepping into a pill furnace barrier.
Is this guy finally starting to take action?! Looking at Yin Yangren walking to the alchemy furnace, Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows, come on! Let us see who taught you this skill!
Yin Yangren picked out the required materials from the treasure box very calmly, and the way he selected it was quite cool! But after he opened the treasure box, all the materials inside flew out at once. At this time, Yin Yangren hit a
Snapping his fingers, the alchemy furnace nearby opened by itself, and pieces of medicinal materials continued to fly into the alchemy furnace. Lin Zheng looked at it very carefully. There was nothing wrong with it, and the quality was quite high!
After the selection of medicinal materials was completed, Yin Yangren snapped his fingers again, and the alchemy furnace was sealed, and all the flying materials returned to the treasure box. After this set of actions, I don’t know how many female cultivators were worried about it.
Then he screamed, and even Tifa next to Lin Zheng couldn't help shouting, "So handsome!"
"Are you jealous, Yiping?!" Xun asked with a smirk.
Lin Zheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "No, really."
"It's strange! It seems to be true." Xun and Lin Zheng were of the same mind. If Lin Zheng really lied, he couldn't deceive her. Xun immediately asked curiously, "Why? Aren't you usually very jealous of others?"
Are you handsome?"
"Go, go, go! Why do I always envy others who are more handsome than me? There are only a few who are more handsome than me in the world!"
After hearing this, Xun pretended to retch for a while, and then Lilith asked funnyly, "So what's the reason? We're also quite curious."
What kind of mentality do these women have! Do we look like the kind of jealous men? Really! After pouting, Lin Zheng looked at Yin Yangren, "I can't tell the reason myself, but I think
, once we find out the origin of this guy’s identity, we should be able to understand why.”
While talking, Yin Yangren had already lit the fire. Seeing this, Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows and immediately extended his consciousness over there. Come on! Show off your skills and let us see you.
How many kilograms are there?
"It is not an aboveboard thing to peep at other people's alchemy techniques."
A calm voice suddenly sounded in Lin Zheng's mind, and then Lin Zheng's consciousness was forcibly cut off. Even if Lin Zheng, including his body, all the individuals bared their teeth, it hurts so much.
ah!
"What's wrong, sir?" In the mountain forest of the Cage of Heaven and Earth, the attentive Fit immediately discovered Lin Zheng's problem, and a look of concern appeared in his eyes.
Lin Zheng calmed down and shook his head, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the observation of his spiritual consciousness was forcibly blocked just now."
Lin Zheng spoke lightly, but after hearing this, Feite's pupils narrowed a bit, "Sir, are you saying that someone discovered your spiritual consciousness and cut off your spiritual consciousness observation?"
"..." Lin Zheng did not answer Feite, but suddenly sighed, "What is that guy's background?!"
