The time required for purifying a 'Fifth Grade Medicinal Material' is the time for one stick of incense. This time is actually very short, because for ordinary alchemists, even an hour would be barely enough to purify a fifth grade medicinal material.
The purification ability of medicinal materials is an important indicator of the level of an alchemist. For the same medicinal material, who can extract the essence powder of the medicinal material in the shorter time and the purity of the extraction is high enough, it means that the alchemy of this alchemist is good. The stronger the skill
The time for a stick of incense quickly passed halfway. Dongfang Chaoqun, the young man in red No. 8 and the middle-aged man in black in No. 88 completed the purification of his opponent's fifth-grade medicinal materials in almost no particular order. Dongfang Chaoqun handed over his purified medicine to the judging table. After powdering the powder, he looked at Zhang Li with extremely contemptuous and arrogant eyes. Zhang Lizheng was concentrating on his own refining and completely ignored Dongfang Chaoqun's gaze.
At this time, the young man in red No. 8 suddenly noticed Dongfang Chaoqun's gaze, and immediately cast a doubtful look at Zhang Li. Zhang Li's performance was quite satisfactory, even though the grade of the alchemy cauldron he used was very high, reaching the astonishing ninth grade. The alchemy cauldrons used by the young man in red, Dongfang Chaoqun and the middle-aged man in black are all ninth-grade alchemy cauldrons. There are even cultivators who are competing in the competition who have ninth-grade alchemy cauldrons.
The young man in red No. 8 frowned and looked at it for a moment, then quickly snorted and looked away disdainfully. In his opinion, Zhang Li's strength was not enough to arouse his interest, while the middle-aged cultivator in black No. 88 had a disdainful expression. He had a very strange look on his face, but in the end he withdrew his gaze with a touch of disdain.
At this moment, no one noticed that the half-covered man in gray not far behind Zhang Li was strikingly similar to Zhang Li in his hand movements. His sharp eyes were only exposed, and he cast his gaze on Zhang Li, Dongfang Chaoqun and others from time to time. on people
The time for a stick of incense soon came. As the judges on the surrounding judging stages simultaneously emitted mysterious ‘formation energy’, all the cultivators were forced to stop their movements.
Dai Shan glanced around with unusual solemnity and then said loudly: "Mark the bottle containing the purified powder with your 'number' and throw it directly into the 'light array' above your head."
As soon as Dai Shan finished speaking, more than a thousand crystal-clear vials suddenly appeared in the sky above the huge square, and then quickly disappeared into the glittering 'array'.
Appraisal and evaluation also take a certain amount of time. Zhang Li stood quietly in his position, constantly emitting his powerful spiritual consciousness, carefully observing everyone participating in the competition. In order to successfully rescue Shangguan Ziyu and Tong Yanni, Zhang Li would never allow himself to make any mistakes. a tiny bit wrong
Suddenly, Zhang Li was startled, and then turned his head violently. In just a very short moment, he seemed to have caught an equally powerful soul, but it suddenly passed away and could no longer be sensed.
There were no fewer than a hundred cultivators behind him, all wearing different masks or masks. Zhang Li quickly scanned around and found nothing, which made him suddenly become vigilant. Since he could hide in this group of cultivators, Then it is possible for others to do it. The extremely powerful soul just now must be hidden in it at the moment.
Just as Zhang Li was thinking secretly, the gleaming 'big array' above his head suddenly emitted a burst of dazzling brilliance, and then 300 'numbers' and the names corresponding to each number magically appeared on it. There was no doubt that these three hundred The name is the person who advanced in the second round.
The first one is No. 888 Dongfang Chaoqun, followed closely by No. 88, the middle-aged man in black, Yan Shibing. The third one is No. 8, the young man in red, Tang Zhenxun. After that, Zhang Li is no longer interested in looking down. He just quickly searched from the end and immediately found his name No. 444 Lu Zhang at No. 268
Zhang Li suddenly felt that this kind of judgment was not convincing at all. The fate of the people participating in the alchemy conference was almost completely determined by the 'judges'. However, Zhang Li was quickly relieved because no matter how 'tricky' he was, when it came to the actual stage of alchemy, his strength was Can't fool anyone
"Those whose names appear in the light array leave the others to leave and watch from the side." Dai Shan's voice was very clear. As the first alchemy master of Sky City, no one doubted Dai Shan's impartiality.
Soon, only Zhang Li and other 300 contestants were left in the huge square. Zhang Li knew that the real competition would begin next. If he guessed correctly, the next step should be to test a third-grade elixir to successfully complete it. If the upgrade cannot be successfully completed, it will be eliminated directly.
Although this regulation still has flaws, it can still be distinguished because it is not difficult for stronger alchemists to make a third-grade elixir, and whether they can refine a third-grade elixir is also a sign of whether an alchemist can become a one-star alchemist.
Sure enough, I didn't wait long before I heard Dai Shan say loudly: "The recipe for the third round of refining a third-grade elixir is under your 'stone platform'. You can choose the elixir at will. After that, someone will come to you to appraise it and remind you." There is a 'light array' on your head to supervise any small movement, and it will be recorded by the light array. Don't be clever and cheat, otherwise you will be embarrassed and your family will be embarrassed."
Hearing Dai Shan's words, those alchemists who were hoping to take chances suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Dai Shan kindly reminded him, otherwise they would have secretly taken out the prepared third-grade elixirs and they would have been embarrassed.
The competition continued. In full view of the public, the three hundred practitioners immediately entered the alchemy state. Zhang Li still carried out the movements on his hands unhurriedly, slowly and tepidly. He chose the third-grade Qi Gathering Pill, 'Qi Gathering Pill'. He has been able to control himself to perfection for a long time, so even though he is under the supervision of others, he can still prevent others from seeing his true strength.
The most nervous person in the competition so far is Su Xuan. She doesn’t know how much Zhang Li’s alchemy skills have improved after a month of emergency retreat. And Zhang Li’s performance in the first two tests makes Su Xuan really not optimistic.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Tang Ying on the side seemed to sense Su Xuan's anxiety and immediately asked in confusion.
Su Xuan quickly smiled and said: "It's okay. I don't know if Zhenxun can win the first prize this time. Uncle, but I have high hopes for him." Tang Ying immediately smiled confidently after hearing this: "Brother Zhenxun will definitely win the first prize of Dongfang Gongzi and Yan Shibing. Although it is temporarily I’m ahead, but towards the end, Jin-hoon hyung’s advantage will become more and more obvious.”
Su Xuan said in her heart, "Really?" and then smiled and said nothing. Although Tang Zhenxun was Su Xuan's uncle Tang Xiaotian's favorite nephew, in her heart, Su Xuan hoped that Zhang Li could win the championship. She didn't know why she was competing with Zhang Li again this time. When Li met again, Su Xuan always felt that there was something curious about Zhang Li, and Zhang Li's personality and thinking seemed to be slowly undergoing amazing changes.
As time slowly passed, Dongfang Chaoqun was the first to complete the refining of the third-grade elixir. However, the second person to complete it was no longer No. 88, the middle-aged man in black, Yan Shibing, but No. 8, the young man in red, Tang Zhenxun. This made Zhang Li was somewhat surprised that Yan Shibing, who had been chasing Dongfang Chaoqun closely, fell behind.
Being able to refine a third-grade elixir is a one-star alchemy master in the true sense. Therefore, almost two hundred cultivators failed at the beginning of this refining. Although their flames were not weak and their purification ability was not bad, overall The ability to melt essence powder to form a pill is still far behind.
You can do your best in purifying various medicinal materials, but it is not easy to fuse the extracted medicinal essence powders into elixirs. Both the flame and the time need to be just right. And this The personal soul power of the time cultivator plays a vital role
Obviously it is not that easy to become an alchemist because there are only a very small number of people with special souls and powerful souls.
Although there was no time limit in the third round of competition, more than 270 cultivators were eliminated in the end, leaving only 28 participants.
The new rankings soon came out. Dongfang Chaoqun is still first, No. 8 Tang Zhenxun is second, No. 88 Yan Shibing is third, and Zhang Li, because he deliberately suppressed and concealed it, became the 28th one and just refined the third-grade product. The practitioner of alchemy
Then the four masters suddenly took action at the same time, and saw huge energy suddenly enveloped the entire square. With a burst of dazzling white light, the original three thousand grids in the square were suddenly reduced to only twenty-eight. The judging panel also narrowed down and surrounded the remaining twenty-eight contestants. They quickly gathered together.
"Humph, Lu Zhang, you are really lucky. You are so lucky that you happened to be the last one." Dongfang Chaoqun walked up to Zhang Li and whispered with disdain, "Luck can't always be this good, Lu Zhang, next round." You are definitely not so lucky. If you want to rescue my two stunning beauties and my two future double monks, you must dream."
After Dongfang Chaoqun finished speaking, he was very proud and quickly walked to his new position with extraordinary dignity. Zhang Li's face was stern and there was no visible change in his expression. However, he was not a master who was willing to suffer easily. He made a heavy 'poof' sound in his heart and secretly said: " If Oriental Garbage hadn't taken advantage of Su Xuan's thin face, I would have secretly killed you long ago."
At this time, Dongfang Hongzhi's gaze, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly shot at Zhang Li like an arrow. To be honest, Dongfang Hongzhi was a little confused in his heart. Although Zhang Li behaved very 'weakly' from beginning to end, there was a strange calmness and calmness in his weakness. The calmness made Dongfang Hongzhi feel a little uneasy in his heart. However, Dongfang Hongzhi did not think that Zhang Li had a chance to win because everything was in his hands.
"In the fourth round of the competition, the fourth-grade elixir will be refined uniformly. The quality of the elixir will be upgraded to the top ten for the next round." Dai Shan's voice sounded at the right time. Zhang Li couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart and quickly walked to his new elixir. grid position
"The competition begins." As soon as Dai Shan finished his words, Dongfang Chaoqun suddenly had a hint of malice in his eyes. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "This time, Mr. Lu, I think you won't get out of here."
Zhang Li took out the spiritual enhancement pill ingredients prepared in advance for the conference from the new compartment. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, followed by an unknown fire that exploded in his chest with a roar (go...)
