Chapter 52
Among the six Duanmu Yu, Ning Zhitong has the highest strength, followed by Duanmu Yu, and Ying Ruo, Shu Yue, Suo Li, and Cheng Yue. However, Ning Zhitong is unscrupulous in the alchemy, and Ying Ruo is also not bad. It should be noted that he is nearly a hundred years old now. Although for some reason, his cultivation has never been able to break through, he is still very powerful in all aspects. He is involved in the alchemy, weapon and talisman formation.
Relatively speaking, Suo Li Chengyue and Shuyue are much worse, but no one cares about these things at this time. They all excitedly selected a elixir and began to refine spiritual pills based on the materials they selected before.
Duanmuyu was calm and didn't even pick the alchemy tripod. He just reached into the small jar and took out a piece of ten-year-old Polygonatum that was about three or three taels. This is also the rule. All the small jars contain ten-year-old biomedicine. The competition is about the level of alchemy. It depends on who can use limited materials to refine a higher-quality elixir. As long as it meets the standards, it will be considered a passing level.
In this process, no one can cheat, for example, adding more other materials or adding materials they carry, because the alchemy process and even enlarge it to the entire path of cultivation, there are rules. As long as an alchemy master takes a look, you can know what material the elixir is made of. What happened in the refining process, there will be no mistakes in the slightest, and there is no need for supervision at all!
At this time, holding this piece of Polygonatum for ten years, Duanmuyu threw it into a elixir cauldron, then pinched the alchemy skills seriously and started to refine it. Although he had not made much achievements in alchemy, it was not too bad.
In this way, half an hour later, everyone stopped the alchemy technique and took out the spiritual pills they refined. At this time, they could see the level of their alchemy. Due to time limitations, the spiritual pills that many people refine are dark and dull, and even a little burnt. For example, the spiritual pills that Suo Li not only divide into several petals, but are also not fully mature. This is mainly because the material is too low and there is too little spiritual energy, so there is no way to aggregate. If you really give him a few hundred-year-old materials, it will not be so miserable.
But this is the rule of the competition! More than 20 practitioners in this courtyard, like Suo Li, accounted for at least 50%, which means they were eliminated in an instant, and the remaining elixirs were considered to have passed the test.
In addition to Suo Li, Cheng Yue and Shu Yue also made their own pills, but they were only slightly better. They would definitely be eliminated in the next level. Compared with that, the best pills made by Ning Zhitong and Ying Ruo were the best. They each made five pills, with a warm luster and a scent of medicine. Although they were not of high quality, they were enough to show the high level of their control of the alchemy technique.
"Duanmu, where are the spiritual pills you refined?" Ning Zhitong asked with a smile. She didn't believe that Duanmuyu could refine spiritual pills. There was only one kind of spiritual medicine, which was simply impossible, and even she couldn't do it.
"What's the difficulty!"
Duanmuyu stretched out his hand and a yellow pill was only the size of a soybean in his palm. It looked very ordinary, but there was a wisp of spiritual energy on it. Judging from the quality of the pill, this is probably the lowest level pill, but it can indeed be regarded as a pill. What is particularly rare is that this little thing has no loss of all the previous medicinal effects, and can be refined again for the next time.
This is very rare, it requires very superb control skills before it can be done.
"Sister Ning, you have to admit defeat by betting. My spiritual pill is called the Porcelain Yuan Pill. It is based on the ten-year Porcelain. It is refined with the low heat of the Porcelain. It does not damage the medicinal properties or spiritual energy. It can also be added to other spiritual pills for refining." Duanmuyu said with a smile.
Ying Ruo and Ning Zhitong were both stunned for a moment, but couldn't say anything. Duanmu Yu's refining method was a bit tricky, but it would be difficult to do without sufficiently advanced alchemy skills.
"Okay, we admit defeat, but Duanmu, you are a little embarrassed. Do you don't want to win in this next competition?" Ying Ruo shook his head and smiled. He could see that Duanmuyu was just joking with them with a game mentality.
"Senior Brother Yingruo has said that I am following you to watch the fun!"
"Watch the fun? Do you dare to continue competing? See who can finally win the final prize?" Ning Zhitong said with a flash of eyes, but she wanted to see how far Duanmuyu could do. Because after so many things, she felt that she was getting more and more unable to see through Duanmuyu. It was rare to have this opportunity, so of course she had to squeeze out his abilities.
"Senior Sister Ning, I think you've made a mistake. You are in the Lingtai realm, I am in the Dongxuan realm, and we are incomparable." Duanmuyu was not fooled at all.
"Are you wrong? Don't try to escape. There is another rule in this magic competition. The first person in the Dongxuan realm can be upgraded to one level and competed with the Lingtai realm. Similarly, the Lingtai realm can also be upgraded to one level and competed with practitioners in the Xingyun realm. However, it is limited to three types: alchemy and weapon refining and talisman making. If you are afraid, I won't care."
"Miss Ning is also a master of alchemy?" At this time, as soon as Ning Zhitong finished speaking, a gentle man's voice came from not far away. Then Zhangye, who had tried to buy Ning Zhitong's sword weapon, walked up, smiled slightly, and bowed, "What if the girl is so elegant, why not be with her? "
Suo Li and Cheng Yue all turned slightly, but Ning Zhitong looked indifferent. She looked at Zhangye, then looked at Duanmu Yu again, and suddenly smiled, "Dunmu, come, you can only win, not lose. If you win, I will play a song for you. If you lose, you will be locked up for one month!"
After saying this, Ning Zhitong put a little force in her hand. The five spiritual pills she had refined before turned into ashes, which undoubtedly meant that she had withdrawn from the alchemy competition.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ye's expression changed slightly, but he had a good temper. He then laughed and bowed to Duanmu Yu, "Please show mercy to Brother Duanmu, why don't we have a lottery too? If I lose, this guqin will return to the original owner!"
As he said that, Zhangye had an extra guqin that was very familiar to everyone, but it was the one that Ning Zhitong had sold to save Ying Ruo before!
"Zhangye, don't bully people too much!" Suo Li said furiously, and Ying Ruo's face was as deep as water in an instant. He had already known about this.
"Senior Brother Suo Li, please be careful not to be impatient!" Duanmu Yu said lightly. It seemed that his senior sister Ning had to show his skills, and he actually used this situation to force him to take action.
"I don't agree that the thing will return to the original owner. It should be said that if you lose, the guqin will belong to me. As for my side, I will use my senior sister's sword weapon as the lottery. If I lose, it will belong to you!"
"Okay! Just one word is determined!" Zhang Ye said happily, and suddenly he felt that Duanmu Yu became cute, while Ning Zhitong on the other side was so angry. This kid was so cunning, and it was no big deal if he lost his feelings. However, she was open-minded. It was worth it to use this method to force Duanmu Yu to show his true ability. The only pity was that this was just an alchemy competition.
Next, all practitioners participating in the alchemy competition can get a pass token as long as they become pills. When they enter the second level, they still choose materials outside. However, the requirements this time are much stricter. Each person needs to choose at least twenty materials, and up to thirty types can be selected. This means that the difficulty of alchemy is increasing. Many passers-by choose twenty materials as much as possible. Only a few people can dare to choose thirty types, because each more material is equivalent to one more difficulty.
Duanmuyu and Zhangye both directly chose thirty kinds of alchemy materials, and Yingruo also had thirty kinds, obviously they wanted to compete.
Zhangye also had five or six companions around him, and Zhangye was very famous in Luofeng City, so a group of people soon watched the game and joined in the fun.
This time, the alchemy was refining for one hour, and it was still based on the standard of making pills as the standard. It was not too difficult. Zhangye might want to show it in front of everyone, so he controlled the entire alchemy process very smoothly, which was dazzling. He used various alchemy techniques. On the contrary, Duanmu Yu was still alive and could not see any specialness.
After waiting for an hour, Zhangye has refined a furnace of elixirs, and Duanmuyu is the same. The difference is not big, but this level is a watershed. Among the twenty practitioners, there are only three or four passers. In Duanmuyu, he and Yingruo pass the level.
After receiving the pass token, enter the third level and still go outside. Each of them selects at least fifty small jars and up to sixty. Continue to refine spiritual pills, and the elixirs are still the ones who make pills pass, but the difficulty of this level increases instantly. Not even one hundred practitioners can have one. Those who can pass this level can be called an alchemy master.
After passing this level, the real competition began, because they began to eliminate each other and finally won the final victory.
Duanmuyu and Zhangye both chose sixty materials without thinking, and the alchemy time was two hours. After passing this time, you need to wait three days before you can continue to start the competition. This is mainly because the participants did not come at the same time, but also to facilitate some practitioners who participated in several competitions in a row.
Zhangye did have some skills, and he still looked relaxed, but Duanmuyu was not bad either. In comparison, the other practitioners who passed the second level were somewhat difficult and could not hold on until the end. As a result, there were only Duanmuyu, Zhangye and Yingruo in this small courtyard.
After two hours, as expected, the three of them successfully refined this furnace of spiritual pills, regardless of their height.
"Brother Duanmu is indeed amazing, but if you want to beat me, according to the rules, you must win all the people in the cave realm before you can compete with me. Of course, if I am eliminated directly, even if you win, we will see you again in three days!" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
