After looking at each other with the elders of Lingxu Valley and Wu Huaian, Bu Tianhong wrapped his words with spiritual power and said: "Now, this sect announces that this year's alchemy competition for outer disciples is about to begin. Now please invite the disciples to participate in the competition.
Enter the arena.”
Soon, everyone saw a large number of Lingxu Valley disciples entering the square, as many as ten thousand people.
This made many people look shocked. Tens of thousands of disciples are also ten thousand alchemists.
Lu Chen was also surprised when he saw this scene. Now he finally understood why 80% of the alchemists in Zhongzhou came from Lingxu Valley, especially the alchemists of seventh grade and above.
With such a huge base of alchemists, it is not difficult to give birth to dozens of seventh-grade alchemists.
What's more, Lingxu Valley has the most top alchemists in Zhongzhou, such as the great elder of Lingxu Valley and the ninth-grade alchemist, Ling Xudu.
Moreover, he is not the only ninth-grade alchemist in Lingxu Valley.
Under their guidance, it is difficult for these Lingxu Valley disciples to become high-level alchemists.
Such as Qianyuan!
Among the thousands of disciples from the outer sect of Lingxu Valley, he is still as rich as jade and as the son of God.
This made Lu Chen a little envious. He had such a high talent for alchemy, but he still had a good skin. In addition, he had a ninth-level alchemist like Ling Xudu as his teacher. God really treated him well.
His appearance also attracted the attention of many people.
"Look, that's Qianyuan, the great disciple of the outer sect of Lingxu Valley."
"I heard that he has become an eighth-grade alchemist. I don't know if it is true or not."
"Whether this is true or not, he is destined to be the center of attention today."
"Yes, we can only look up to such a character."
Most people were talking, and the young women were looking at him like a nymphomaniac.
Sitting in front, the heads of sects, families, and patriarchs were also looking at Qianyuan.
Because they all knew very well that Lingxu Valley invited them to watch this outer disciple alchemy competition for one reason, but the main reason was to announce to the major forces that Qian Yuan had become an eighth-grade alchemist.
The best way to announce it is naturally to let Qianyuan win first place in this alchemy competition among outer disciples and announce his rise to the world.
At the same time, it also shows the strength of Lingxu Valley to the major forces.
They looked at the smiling Bu Tianhong, all showing fear.
As the sect master of Lingxu Valley, Bu Tianhong can be regarded as a wise man. He took in everyone's expressions, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"This alchemy competition is the same as the previous ones. Each disciple starts by refining the first-grade elixir and goes up one by one. Each time he refines an elixir, he can rest for an hour. Finally, the disciple who refines the highest-grade elixir,
The first place in this alchemy competition."
"Now, this sect announces the start of the competition."
Finally, Bu Tianhong announced with a long voice that this year's alchemy competition for outer disciples had officially begun.
Ten thousand disciples from the outer sect of Lingxu Valley, headed by Qian Yuan, stood in the square and began to refine alchemy.
The sect has already prepared the elixir for them, and each disciple only needs to take it out from the storage ring.
However, they can only produce the pill furnace for refining the pill themselves.
It can also be seen from this point that even a sect like Lingxu Valley, which mainly focuses on alchemy, cannot provide an alchemy furnace for every disciple.
The reason for all this is that the cost of the alchemy furnace is too high. It is not a small sum of money to equip each disciple with an alchemy furnace.
At this point, disciples like Qian Yuan who have masters take advantage.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule!
After all, this is not a world where everyone is equal.
Each disciple took out his or her own alchemy furnace and began to make alchemy.
Start with the first level of elixir.
In order to show the fairness of the competition, all ten thousand disciples refined the same first-grade elixir.
However, the sect only provided one piece of material, so they only had one chance.
This is also a big test for alchemists, because no one can achieve a 100% success rate, not even Lu Chen.
The higher the grade of the refined elixir, the higher the failure rate.
For example, Lu Chen failed the first time he refined the eighth-grade elixir into Erdan.
This is all due to a weak foundation and lack of experience in alchemy.
Therefore, watching thousands of Lingxu Valley disciples refining pills this time can also increase Lu Chen's knowledge.
At the same time, this also means that he understands his opponent Qianyuan's strength in alchemy.
Qianyuan stood in the middle of the square and took out a navy blue alchemy cauldron with three legs and two ears, blooming with a clear light.
When you knock it out, the cauldron gradually becomes larger, and a large area of green light blooms. It is a huge green cauldron with images of ancient spiritual beasts painted on all sides. It looks extraordinary.
Qianyuan looked at the cauldron with a look of satisfaction.
"Heaven-level high-level pill furnace?"
Lu Chen was surprised when he saw the cauldron, and then he glanced at Ling Xudu who was sitting in the east.
He remembered very clearly that the white-bearded old man from the Wuhong Chamber of Commerce once said that there were two heaven-level medicine cauldrons for auction. One was the heaven-level primary medicine cauldron Suzaku Cauldron in Lu Chen's hand, and the other was the heaven-level upper-level medicine cauldron.
Medicine cauldron.
Because he left early, he didn't see anyone take away the heaven-level high-level medicine cauldron.
Now it seems that the old man failed to bid for the Vermillion Bird Cauldron with him, so he took away the heaven-level high-level medicinal cauldron, which was the bronze medicinal cauldron in Qianyuan's hand.
"Tsk tsk, what a good master."
Lu Chen admired several times in his heart, and was a little envious, because compared to Ling Xudu and Qianyuan, the cheap master Wu Lengchan was a bit stingy with him, and kept hiding the ancient Kunxian Ding;
Otherwise, why would he need to bid for the Vermillion Bird Cauldron and offend the old guy Ling Xudu?
This made Lu Chen curse the cheap master Wu Lengchan.
At the same time, Lu Chen was not the only one who envied Qianyuan for having a good master, especially the sect leaders of the various forces, who were even more sure of one thing, that is, Qianyuan had become an eighth-grade alchemist.
Otherwise, with Ling Xudu's character, even if he doted on this precious disciple, he would not give this heaven-level high-level medicinal cauldron to Qianyuan.
And Qianyuan has this heaven-level high-level medicinal cauldron, and his success rate in refining elixirs is much higher than that of other disciples.
Sure enough, Qianyuan had refined a first-grade elixir without even taking a cup of tea.
Lu Chen couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw this, because apart from that high-level alchemy cauldron, Qianyuan's alchemy skills were also extremely proficient, making it impossible to find any faults.
He couldn't help but touch his chin. Could it be that this guy really became an eighth-grade alchemist?
Facing this way, Lu Chen looked at his master Ling Xudu and saw this old guy sitting on a stone chair. He was neither sad nor happy, and seemed incomprehensible.
Bu Tianhong and Elder Wu Huaian also looked normal.
The heads of various sects, families, and patriarchs were also very calm, but some people still had surprise in their eyes, and some even felt ashamed.
As for those nymphomaniacs, they even cheered. Seeing this, many young talents began to criticize Qian Yuan, feeling both envious and jealous.
It seems that Qianyuan is destined to become the protagonist today.
Lu Chen snorted in his heart. He came to Lingxu Valley in disguise, not just to watch this alchemy competition.
After a cup of tea, the ten thousand Lingxu Valley outer sect disciples finished refining their elixirs. Under the appraisals of various deacons, about 30% of the disciples were eliminated.
But even so, it still surprised all the major forces.
Because this means that there are 7,000 first-grade alchemists and above in the outer gate of Lingxu Valley.
"Lingxu Valley is really going to rise."
"Yes, with such a huge team of alchemists, which force can compare with it?"
"If things continue like this, I'm afraid even Tianhuang Palace will be outclassed by Lingxu Valley."
Many sect leaders and family patriarchs were discussing in private and felt a strong pressure.
"Hehe, in my opinion, except for Qian Yuan, the alchemy skills of the other disciples of Lingxu Valley are not worth mentioning, and they are not as good as pigs and dogs."
At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange voice.
"Who? Who is so bold as to say such a thing, do you want to die?"
Many people were shocked when they heard this. This is the territory of Lingxu Valley. Today is the day when Lingxu Valley holds an alchemy ceremony for outer disciples to promote the strength of Lingxu Valley to the major forces in Zhongzhou;
Who dares to be so ignorant of praise and belittle Lingxu Valley?
When Lu Chen heard this, he was also surprised, his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, could there be anyone besides himself who would come to trouble Lingxu Valley?
With this in mind, he looked around and saw the person who said these words. He was a man in gray clothes wearing a bamboo hat. Judging from his voice, he must be quite young.
The man in gray faced everyone's gaze, but turned a blind eye and continued: "Disciple, are you right?"
Below him, there was a young man sitting. This young man was in his mid-twenties, with a somewhat handsome appearance and sparkling eyes, giving people a very shrewd feeling. He said with a haughty look:
"Master is right. Except for Qian Yuan, the disciples regard the rest of them as nothing more than grass."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Who are these young and old people? They are talking nonsense here. Aren't they afraid that Lingxu Valley will blame them?
But what they didn't expect was that a disdainful voice suddenly came from the front;
"Bah bang bang, that's right. Senior and this brother have said it well. I also think that outside the outer gate of Lingxu Valley, except for Qianyuan, everyone else is rubbish. No, worse than rubbish.
.”
At this moment, a young man with a pockmarked face stood up from the front, applauded, and laughed: "Originally, I thought I was the only one who thought so, but I didn't expect seniors and brothers to think so too. It seems that we really are
A fellow-minded person."
When everyone saw this, they immediately looked at each other. The old man and the young man were just talking nonsense about Lingxu Valley. After all, the old man in gray had a cultivation level of Tongtian Realm, but this ugly young man only had a cultivation level of Six-Star Wuji Realm. He dared to talk about it.
Lingxu Valley, who gave him the courage?
When some of the sect leaders saw this, their expressions changed, and after looking at each other, they all said nothing.
The old man in gray and the young man in blue who were the parties involved were also stunned. They didn't expect that in such a scene, someone would dare to agree with them?
When they saw Lu Chen's appearance clearly, the old and young masters and disciples all frowned, because the pockmarks on Lu Chen's face were so ugly that they couldn't help but feel disgusted. The young man in blue was even colder.
Hum.
Lu Chen collected his expression into his eyes, sneered in his heart, rolled his eyes, and immediately shouted to the square: "Friends from Lingxu Valley, someone here said that your alchemy skills are inferior to pigs and dogs. I don't know what you think.
?”
Lu Chen wrapped his words with spiritual power, so as soon as the words came out, they swept out like a strong wind and spread throughout the entire valley, not to mention the seven thousand outer disciples of Lingxu Valley in the field, even Bu Tianhong, Ling
Xidu, Wu Huaian and others all heard clearly.
"Be bold!"
The elders and protectors of Lingxu Valley who maintained order immediately shouted sharply when they saw this, and glanced over like lightning.
Lu Chen immediately felt a strong spiritual power, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"snort."
At this moment, the old man in gray snorted suddenly, and the spiritual power of the elders and protectors of Lingxu Valley immediately collapsed.
