Jiang Chen had participated in the competition between Ding Ding and Fire Control last time when he competed with Na Yan Hongtu. He was no stranger to this.
Although the content is different from last time, as long as the format is the same, Jiang Chen has no pressure at all.
For Jiang Chen, this kind of content is as simple as eating and drinking. With these two items, appreciating tripods and controlling fire, Jiang Chen is as powerful as a broken bamboo.
There is no doubt that he entered the third stage as quickly as possible.
Identify seeds.
This link is slightly more difficult, but it is not a problem for Jiang Chen either.
The requirement of this link is to find five seeds with the same attributes among the thousands of seeds, and there are only these five seeds. If you find the wrong one, you will be eliminated.
Moreover, among the five seeds with the same attributes, one of them is a waste seed and needs to be selected.
When Jiang Chen's Heavenly Eyes are used to the subtlest level, they are like a magnifying glass, infinitely expanding the properties of these seeds and reflecting them into his eyes.
Jiang Chen moved his fingers like flying and picked out five seeds with the same attributes.
As for the waste seeds, it may be a problem for ordinary elixir masters, but for Jiang Chen, there is no problem at all.
Waste seeds are seeds with no signs of life.
Jiang Chen felt it for a moment and then selected it from the five seeds.
The third link is also overwhelming.
Seeing how fast Jiang Chen was, the other participants were inexplicably shocked. Even the most popular candidates for the Dan Dou had only just entered the third stage at this moment.
And Jiang Chen has already entered the fourth stage.
The fourth link is to combine elixirs. This link is slightly more difficult than the third link.
There are a total of ninety-nine kinds of elixirs on the scene, and contestants are required to find at least eighteen combinations among these ninety-nine kinds of elixirs.
The so-called elixir combination is actually the pairing of elixirs.
In the world of alchemy, elixirs can be divided into main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients. Which elixir can be used as the main ingredient, which elixir can be used as the auxiliary ingredient, and which elixir can be used as both the main ingredient and the auxiliary ingredient.
After distinguishing these, how to match the main materials and auxiliary materials is all knowledge.
Whoever masters more will have greater knowledge and a higher level of alchemy.
For Jiang Chen, this kind of game is as simple as a child playing with building blocks. For these elixirs, Jiang Chen only needs to pass his eyes, touch them, put them to his nose and smell them. After three steps of looking, touching and smelling, Jiang Chen
, no magic pill can stump him.
Soon, Jiang Chen came up with thirty-six combinations, and any one of them was absolutely unmistakable.
Seeing Jiang Chen so relaxed, the referees were also dumbfounded.
This is not a competition, this is simply teaching. And this method, this speed, and this mentality are simply easier than teaching.
At this moment, the person who is most shocked and inexplicable is definitely Elder Yun Nie.
Elder Yun Nie naturally knew that Jiang Chen's elixir talent should be very high. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to crush Yan Hongtu so easily, let alone help him complete the refining of the six-marked Black Dragon elixir.
However, Jiang Chen was young after all. Regarding the issue of the Six-marked Black Dragon Pill, Elder Yun Nie had always thought that it might be an accident.
Maybe Jiang Chen had accidentally come into contact with the Six Marks Black Dragon Pill.
However--
At this moment, seeing Jiang Chen's overwhelming momentum in the competition, Elder Yun Nie knew that this Jiang Chen was definitely a genius in elixirs. Even in the history of Danqian Palace, at this age, there was probably no one like him.
Such a monstrous genius.
For a moment, Elder Yun Nie was shocked and excited.
Over the past few decades, Elder Yun Nie has been worried about one thing, that is, the Alchemy Sage pays too much attention to martial arts, which has seriously affected the Alchemy in Dedanqian Palace.
More and more young people are addicted to martial arts and inadvertently ignore alchemy.
It can be said that in the past sixty years, the level of alchemy in Danqian Palace has been declining. This decline is not reflected in the older generation, but in the fact that the younger generation has no successors.
This is also a fact. If the younger generation had not been in the alchemy realm, it would be impossible for alchemists like Mu Gaoqi who had just entered the Yuan realm to be so popular.
Elder Yun Nie is even more worried about Dan Dou in Huanbo Mountain.
In the past few decades, Elder Yun Nie has also collected information from the major sects in the Vientiane Territory through many channels. All aspects of intelligence show that the six top sects in the Vientiane Territory have been frantically cultivating Alchemy geniuses in the past few decades. Especially in this regard. It is the Sanxing Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect that have trained many young talents in the field of elixirs.
In contrast, the young geniuses of Danqian Palace have abandoned the traditions of their ancestors and devoted all their efforts to pursuing the supreme martial arts.
There is nothing wrong with pursuing martial arts, and Elder Yunnie knows this very well. But it is also an indisputable fact that pursuing martial arts is too focused and the tradition of alchemy is lost.
Therefore, Elder Yun Nie is very worried about whether the younger generation of alchemy masters can compete with the people of Sanxing Sect and Xiaoyao Sect in the upcoming Huanbo Mountain Alchemy Fight.
With this kind of worry, until this moment, Elder Yun Nie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
because--
He discovered Jiang Chen
During the moment when Elder Yun Nie was thinking about it, Jiang Chen worked hard again and reached the fifth stage of decomposing the elixir.
This link is the most difficult.
Because, of the five prescriptions provided in this link, only one is correct and four are wrong.
The requirement of the competition is to decompose all five prescriptions, no matter whether they are correct or wrong. If they are wrong, you have to point out the problem.
Finally, pick the correct recipe.
In this fifth link, the degree of differentiation should be the greatest. The level of the alchemist is most easily reflected in this link.
Of course, although this link is a bit more difficult, it is still a pediatric-level question for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen has actually been paying attention to other people's competitions.
Seeing that people like Mu Gaoqi had just completed the third stage of the competition, it would be shocking if he went too fast.
Therefore, Jiang Chen deliberately delayed a few times and used his spiritual consciousness to observe other people's games.
Mu Gaoqi had previously introduced that Ouyang Chao was the most promising person from the outside world, and he was also the direct grandson of an elder of the Herbal Hall; there was also Linghu Feng, the direct grandson of Linghu Xian, who had been provocative before, and there was also a female Dan. Teacher, the petite Ling Huier.
These three people are all fierce enemies of Mu Gaoqi.
Jiang Chen observed it and found that Mu Gaoqi was indeed evenly matched in the competition with these three people.
However, Jiang Chen could tell that both Mu Gaoqi and the other three people had obviously left some room for their own strength, and it seemed that neither of them wanted to use all their strength at once.
Although these people were slightly surprised by Jiang Chen's momentum, they all calmed down in the end and were not overly surprised to the point that their mood was affected.
They feel that in this trial, all the states have been brought out, but it will be affected in the final finals.
Therefore, they were very dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's behavior and felt that Jiang Chen, an outsider, was deliberately seeking the limelight.
Mu Gaoqi's thoughts were naturally different from others. He knew that this was Jiang Chen's true strength.
Jiang Chen deliberately suppressed himself in the fifth stage, but even so, he was still the first to complete the five stages of the trial.
The examiner was surprised when he accepted his results. Because each of Jiang Chen's items not only reached the passing level, but also all reached the full score level.
The examiner in charge of acceptance quietly returned to Elder Yun Nie and whispered a few words in Elder Yun Nie's ear. Elder Yun Nie showed a smile on his face and nodded gently.
Apparently, Elder Yun Nie also greatly appreciated Jiang Chen's achievements after learning about them.
Linghu Xian, who was standing behind Elder Yun Nie, pricked up his ears. Apparently he heard the examiner's murmur. His heart skipped a beat. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Chen. His eyes were full of wariness. A hostile look appeared in his eyes.
Passed by in a flash.
Linghu Xian's heart was filled with turmoil: "Jiang Chen, this brat, refused my invitation last time, and this time he took the limelight in the fight for the cave in the Supreme District. Is this beast trying to ruin my big job?"
Linghu Xian was very doting on his direct grandson Linghu Feng and was very protective of his shortcomings. He was determined to win this battle for the Dongfu in the Supreme District.
Seeing Jiang Chen charging out with force, Linghu Xian felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Because Linghufeng had to face competition from people like Ouyang Chao, Ling Huier and Mu Gaoqi.
Forget about Ling Hui'er and Mu Gaoqi, Ling Hufeng looked down upon them. They were all wild men. Without the support of the bosses of Bencao Hall, no matter how talented they were, they would still be limited.
Ouyang Chao is different. He is also the direct grandson of the elder of the Herbal Hall. Ouyang Chao's attainments in alchemy are even better than Linghu Feng's.
Therefore, it can be said that Ouyang Chao has already reserved one of the two places in the Supreme District Dan Dou in advance, and is the most popular.
Linghu Feng, on the other hand, must fight for the remaining cave. In Linghu Xian's opinion, his grandson should be in the leading position in the fight for the remaining cave.
However, after seeing Jiang Chen's strong performance in the trials, a crack appeared in Linghu Xian's self-confidence.
And looking at Ling Hui'er and Mu Gaoqi, they obviously haven't tried their best, and they don't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps either.
In the trials, Jiang Chen took the lead and entered the finals as first place.
Next, Ouyang Chao was second, Ling Hufeng was third, Ling Huier was fourth, Mu Gaoqi was fifth...
This ranking order does not seem to be unexpected at all, except for Jiang Chen who is ranked first.
After these people are completed, they must wait for everyone else to complete the selection process before the top thirty names for the finals can be determined.
About an hour later, all the alchemy geniuses who participated in the trial completed all five links.
Only then can the ranking begin.
The first to be eliminated is not the one that is completed last, but the one that has various errors in the completed content.
If an error occurs, you will be eliminated immediately.
Therefore, those who are ranked lower in the finishing order also have a chance to enter the top 30.
After two hours of acceptance and statistics, the list of thirty finalists was finally released. Jiang Chen ranked first without any doubt.
"The list for the selection competition has been released. Everyone is already tired today. Tomorrow at midnight, the finals will begin. Let's go back and recharge our batteries. The content of the finals is much more difficult than that of the selection competitions."
With Elder Yun Nie's announcement, the selection competition ended.
