"How long will it take? I'm already sleepy!" Yun Xi yawned, buried her head on Lan You's shoulder and began to doze off.
Ling Shuang, Yu Qingxuan, Yang Ying, and Xiao Mingyue, the four escort fairies who followed the orders of the elders and came to accompany them to eat, play, and make alchemy, although they did not feel tired or sleepy at all, they all felt a little boring.
, all of them were meditating with half-closed eyes, occasionally opening their eyes to watch the movements of the two people refining alchemy.
Time passed by suddenly, and by the time Yun Xi was suddenly awakened by the shouts and noises, the sky had already begun to turn white.
"What, is the game over?" Yun Xi rubbed her eyes and looked up in surprise.
"It's still early!" Lan You's voice was a little cold.
Yun Xi said "Oh" and looked at Han Qing and Xu Chen. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said with surprise: "Wow, Fellow Daoist Xu has surpassed Senior Brother Han!"
At this time, Xu Chen still had five elixirs in front of him, while Han Qing still had six elixirs left in front of him.
The exclamations and noises just now were the commotion among the onlookers caused by Xu Chen's overtake.
In other words, after a night of chasing, Xu Chen finally caught up and overtook him around dawn.
However, at this time, both of them seemed to be in less calm condition than yesterday. Although their breaths were still very stable, they were obviously very tired.
Han Qing's face was pale, and the Taoist robe on his back was wet with sweat and stuck to his body.
Xu Chen looked slightly better, but beads of sweat were still dripping down his face.
At this point in refining the elixir, the two of them no longer wanted to fight, but instead put all their efforts into refining the elixir.
Because as more and more elixirs are refined in the alchemy furnace, the formation has been activated almost to the limit. Every movement must be done carefully, and the spiritual consciousness must be divided into dozens of fine control, and a large amount of input must be continued.
The vitality maintains the stability of the spiritual fire, and there is almost no energy to pay attention to the movements outside.
The last few elixirs are also the most precious and difficult to refine. They require a lot of patience and time, and the energy, energy and time consumed also increase exponentially.
Right now, it would take at least nearly half an hour to refine a single medicine.
In other words, it will take at least two to three hours to refine all the remaining medicine.
Although they had been waiting for a whole day and night, except for Yun Xi, almost all the monks who were watching were engrossed and never looked away. They were all staring at the two alchemy furnaces where the alchemy energy was rolling, and each of them felt agitated and uneasy.
The strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire square, and everyone's spirits were clear and excited under the stimulation of this medicinal fragrance.
The same was true for Xu Chen. He could deeply feel the magic of the Seven Gods Pill through the scent of the medicine, which made him more and more interested in this strange pill.
Even if he loses this game, he will definitely make a profit.
This prescription alone was worth the price of admission and gave him the joy of returning home with a full load.
Half an hour passed by, the gray sky became brighter and brighter, and the red morning glow appeared in the east.
Xu Chen's consciousness suddenly flickered, and another elixir was thrown into the alchemy furnace.
"Wow~"
There was another violent commotion among hundreds of onlookers.
Xu Chen's alchemy speed was still methodical, actually surpassing the two elixirs.
Han Qing's face became paler and paler, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
What this unstable state of mind caused was that the spiritual fire lost control again, but another strong spiritual consciousness and vitality suddenly appeared to help him suppress the fire. The restless alchemy furnace shook lightly for a few times and then quickly recovered.
calm.
Xu Chen was completely speechless.
This is the third time Biyunzi has stepped in to help Han Qing.
But at this time, he no longer felt even a trace of ridicule.
Because he also didn't dare to be distracted at all.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that although Bi Yunzi was always shameless, he did not take action against him or interfere with his alchemy process. This could be regarded as the last trace of respect he retained for Bi Yunzi.
On the steps, a row of old Taoist priests all had their faces twitching slightly and their heads lowered.
In the main hall, Bi Yunzi was as motionless as a statue in a shrine. He was neither ashamed nor happy. He had long been disappointed with Han Qing.
According to the current situation, Han Qing has already lost this alchemy competition.
But in order to make the loss less ugly, as long as the furnace elixir is finally refined, it can still save a little bit of face for the elixir hall.
Although he also thought about disturbing Xu Chen, he finally held back.
Although Yizhen left, it didn't mean that the other core disciples with the highest numbers among the onlookers were completely pretending to be mute.
In addition, from the beginning of the game, there were several spiritual consciousnesses of Danyuan realm elders in the alchemy hall, always paying attention to the progress of the game.
If he breaks his face and does this, angering Xu Chen and giving up helping Yuqing Palace to make elixirs, the blame will definitely be put on his head in the end, and the identity of the second elder will definitely not be able to withstand the wrath of True Lord Baiyun.
The sun rises and then slowly rises into the sky.
Xu Chen finally finished refining the last elixir, while Han Qing still had two elixirs left.
But even so, this game does not completely allow Xu Chen to lead and win in the end.
Although the next process of combining elixirs, dividing elixirs and raising elixirs is much easier, it still takes two days, and the test is not over yet.
So Xu Chen took a deep breath, took out a five-inch green jade bottle, and poured a drop of emerald green liquid into his mouth.
With the entrance of the spiritual liquid, it immediately turned into billowing vitality and flowed directly into his Dantian, quickly restoring nearly 30% of his depleted vitality.
Xu Chen's actions did not surprise many people.
Because before this, Han Qing had already swallowed two drops of spiritual liquid.
Xu Chen persisted for a whole day and night before starting to take it, which shows that the energy gap between the two is huge.
Although spiritual liquid is precious, it is still common in Yuqing Palace, and direct disciples and core disciples can receive some every month.
However, some sharp-eyed people saw that this bottle of spiritual liquid seemed to be a product of Yuqing Palace.
Yun Xi poked Lan You gently and asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister Lan, is this spiritual liquid a gift from you?"
Lan You blushed instantly, but she didn't lie, instead she hummed softly.
Naturally, the four female cultivators nearby also heard the conversation between the two, and each of them looked even weirder, secretly exchanging glances, as if they were surprised.
Spiritual liquid is produced from the essence of spiritual veins deep in the spirit stone mines. The quantity is very small. It takes several days to form a drop. Yuqing Palace currently has two spiritual stone mines, and the amount of spiritual liquid produced per month is only one drop.
Jin, mainly the twenty core disciples, and the other direct disciples can also get some. In addition, it requires a lot of merit to redeem it.
Although they have good qualifications and are direct disciples of several Danyuan Realm elders, they cannot compare with Lan You and have not yet entered the ranking of core disciples. Therefore, the spiritual liquid allocation they receive is naturally pitiful.
, maybe you can get one or two or two per year.
Lan You not only allowed Xu Chen to stay in her Taoist temple, but also gave Xu Chen such a precious qi-tonifying elixir, which shows that the relationship between the two is no longer as simple as that of ordinary Taoist friends.
From this, the several female cultivators naturally began to have a burning fire of gossip, and their curiosity about Xu Chen also grew.
How a young monk who is no more than the Kaiyuan Realm can have such a powerful soul and an incredible reserve of vitality is completely unreasonable.
The four of them rarely go out and practice at the mountain gate almost all year round. Even if they go down the mountain to practice, they are active in several regular areas near the Yuqing Hall. Naturally, they have heard a lot about the incident in Heifeng Ridge, but they have never
I have been there before, and although I have heard some rumors about Xu Chen, no one has the personal experience of being with her through life and death like Lan You, so naturally I don’t know why Xu Chen is so different.
Xu Chen's pill furnace began to vibrate, making a faint sound of wind and thunder.
After the combined alchemy formation was activated, as the vortex of vitality began to rotate rapidly at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, one after another of the refined elixirs began to be thrown into the vortex under the guidance of spiritual consciousness. Under the baking of the spiritual fire, slowly
Slowly it gathered into a colorful spiritual light, and a richer medicinal fragrance began to emanate from the alchemy furnace.
Han Qing became more and more anxious, sweating profusely on his forehead. After hurriedly completing the refining of an elixir, he quickly put another elixir into the alchemy furnace.
Ever since Xu Chen caught up with his progress, his emotions had begun to get out of control.
After Xu Chen surpassed the progress, he could hardly keep his mind steady. If Elder Biyunzi hadn't kept suppressing him, he would have destroyed many elixirs in this furnace of pills, not to mention three groups of medicinal materials.
, even if there are five or six groups, it is probably impossible to continue now.
"Stay calm, don't be impatient, don't expect to win, but seek to complete the task!"
In Han Qing's ears, Bi Yunzi's voice sounded neither happy nor sad.
Bi Yunzi was completely speechless for this fourth-generation disciple who was the best in the alchemy hall.
If it weren't for this game, Han Qing's performance would still be remarkable.
But during the game, his weakness of unstable Taoism was undoubtedly exposed.
At this time, Biyunzi also knew that he could not force Han Qing, and did not even dare to use a reprimanding tone. Once Han Qing completely lost control of his emotions, the furnace of elixir refining would be the next step, and this duel initiated by the elixir hall would be completely
After losing everything, there is no chance to save face.
