Gu Zhikun raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart. The disciples of the Tang Gang were really the same. He smiled and said, "Old Xue said, Zhikun would not refuse. There are still many leftover wine pills, so it's okay if you take some."
Tang Haixue nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Du Ziwei, and asked, "Brother Ziwei, don't you take some back?"
"Oh!" Tang Haixue immediately changed his voice and said, "You Du Mansion has always been frugal. I'm afraid you won't use medicinal materials to exchange for this little-effective wine-washing pill."
Du Ziwei sneered and said lightly: "Your Gang and Sunjiabao have already taken the lead. How can I compete with you for my Du Mansion? I will change all the Xue Lao."
"In this way, how about I'll give you some in private by the old lady?" The people from the Tang Gang spoke exactly the same.
Du Ziwei chuckled: "Although my Du family is not as generous as the one who is a gang, I don't even have to ask for this little thing."
Tang Haixue kept showing off her character, and was as good as the other elders of the Tang Gang, but she was incompatible with other demon cultivators present. Just now, Gu Zhikun flattered her for a few words, but the old woman was not restrained.
So Gu Zhikun stood up and said unhappy: "Okay! The first round is about to end, and I will also see how these disciples have refined them. I will not accompany you."
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, many disciples had already completed the refining in the square, and many disciples ended the competition early. However, Du Xuan looked leisurely and carried out the final refining and baking slowly.
All the equipment and medicinal materials have been put into use, and the prototype of the rapid development has emerged and can be officially completed in just a moment. There are no obvious mistakes in the entire refining process, and it is also good to look at its quality.
However, Du Xuan thought for a moment, he took back the demonic energy in advance, extinguished the demonic fire, and took out the rapid belt.
"Ha, the disciples of Demon Valley are just like this!" At this time, a white and thin man next to him suddenly snorted coldly.
Du Xuan turned around and saw that the man had completed the refining and was waiting for the result. It seemed that this man's cultivation should be not low and his strength in refining weapons should not be bad, otherwise he would not have said such contemptuous words.
Du Xuan naturally understood that this rapid move was still a little short of time. If it were the past, he would feel agitation when he heard this, and he would definitely compete with this arrogant boy in the next few rounds.
However, now the cautious Du Xuan thought for a moment, just smiled faintly and asked, "Do you dare to ask me about my name in Tai Zun?"
"Hmph, I'm in the lower house." The man chuckled, raised his head and said proudly, "It's just a small family in the Yan clan, it's not as good as your Demon Valley."
Du Xuan ignored it and secretly wrote down the name in his heart and the arrogant jealous face with a contempt.
Soon, the results of the first round came out.
Du Xuan participated in the weapon refining competition, and Xie Ming and Long Wanshan were naturally summoned to do chores. Therefore, before Du Xuan stretched his neck to see the promotion list, the two men found him in time and told him that he had passed the first round of competition.
*******
The next day, the second round of the art refining conference was held as scheduled.
This round has a great luck component, because each contestant needs to randomly draw the formula. If you draw the recipe you are familiar with, you will naturally have a great chance of winning. If you draw the recipe that you are not familiar with or even have not refined at all, the chance of winning is naturally self-evident.
However, if you can make the last laugh and enter the top ten, how could you have a recipe you don’t know how to refine?
One thousand contestants gathered in the square, which was naturally much less than the more than 5,000 people yesterday, and the cauldrons could be placed more loosely.
A thousand orange magic fires were jumping and jubilant in the square, and a wide range of medicinal materials were refined and fused one after another. Du Xuan and Long Wanshan were on the side of the square, observing the refining of these 1,000 outstanding people.
Especially Long Wanshan, even though he no longer specializes in practicing medicine, he still keeps his eyes open and observes and learns. After all, the foundation of refining medicine that has been practicing for five years is still there, and he can still make some elixirs in the future to make some money.
As noon approached, the list of one hundred excellent magic cultivators was finally released.
Half of these hundred lucky people came from Demon Valley. Only at this time did Du Xuan feel that the disciples of Demon Valley were better. The disciples of the Seven Elders' families also occupied about twenty places.
The Du Mansion is not bad either. Among the disciples who came to Du Xuan's house that day, five of them entered the list of 100 people. Among the seven elder families, they were only slightly inferior to the six of the Tang Gang, and were on par with Sun Family Fort. The Nine Palaces were closely followed by three people, while only one of the other three elder families was shortlisted.
Because Du Ziwei's cultivation is good, the Demon Garden in charge of his affairs is naturally not bad. Therefore, the demon cultivator in the Du family is quite reasonable. However, no matter how strong the demon cultivator is, it cannot control the fate of the family.
In the afternoon, the second round of the weapon refining competition continued to begin.
Du Xuan did not see the arrogant Meng Kai. Among these thousand people, it was not easy to meet one by chance.
Perhaps it was because of fate that Du Xuan drew this round of the Qingming Demon Pearl. The last time he made a fight with Zhuang Fei, he lost to the Qingming Demon Pearl.
What to do? Should I refine it with all my strength or do it the same as last time?
If you practice with all your strength, you may be expected to break out of the siege from these thousand people. If it is the same as last time, you will definitely have no hope of advancing to the third round.
After retrieving the equipment, Du Xuan slowly began to refine it while thinking about what to do.
If it is refined as last time, it is not reasonable. Because half a month has passed, how can people believe that he has not made any progress?
If you practice it with all your might, the quality of this Qingming Demon Bead will definitely double. How could it make such progress in just over half a month? It will make people suspicious. Although no one may care about himself so much, you must be in case.
So, Du Xuan decided to make it slightly better than last time. As for whether he can enter the third round of competition, it all depends on God's will.
Two hours passed.
Du Xuan, who had been waiting for the results, saw Xie Ming and Long Wanshan who had just posted the list, and went up and asked, "The list is out? Is there my name?"
Xie Ming and Long Wanshan both looked bad, and Du Xuan immediately knew that he must have been eliminated. In fact, it was true. How could the Qingming Demon Beads that were refined with their hands reached the top 100?
If they really enter the top 100, then these demon cultivators who participated in the competition would be too bad.
Xie Ming sighed and said, "Xuanzi, it's just a little bit short. There are seven or eight guys' Qingming Demon Beads that are a little better than you have. In fact, I think you are almost the same as those guys."
"I think this is better. After the third round, there will be no need for so many helpers to do chores. You can practice with peace of mind so as not to waste time here." Long Wanshan comforted.
Du Xuan grinned and said, "Brother Long is right! It's okay, I'm just a minor cultivation tool. It's good to be able to pass the first round, so how can I expect to pass the second round?"
The third round of the art refining conference was in progress, with only two hundred of the best demon cultivators left. The number of people dropped sharply, so they naturally turned to the Demon Valley.
Being able to enter the third round can be regarded as the most outstanding leader among the demon cultivators.
Moreover, the seven elders' families were no longer absent. They came to the Demon Palace early to find the demon cultivator they like so that they could take action in advance and bring them into their own clan.
When the fifth day of the art refining conference is held, all five rounds are over, and only the last round of peak duels remains.
The top ten demon cultivators in refining medicine and weapon refining were finally born. There were 20 people in total, and the Demon Valley still occupied half of the land, which shows its strength.
In addition, among the twenty people, except for the disciples of the Demon Valley and the elders' family, the other five disciples of the small sects or lone heroes, were lucky enough to stay in the Demon Valley without paying their own money to stay in the Demon City.
*******
As dusk falls, everything is quiet, only the occasional cold wind brings up the rustling sound in the forest.
The dark night sky is shining with a few loose stars, and the hazy moonlight is far less dazzling than summer.
The art refining ceremony for the past two days was held in the Demon Valley. There were many people and noisy people. Du Xuan walked on the intestine path of the Demon Valley, enjoying such a rare tranquility.
I just visited Du Ziwei and was walking back. Most of the houses on the roadside were gone, and the residents must have gone to bed. However, Du Xuan was still rushing back to practice the magic fight for another hour.
"I'm going to take it off."
Suddenly, an extremely subtle sound came into Du Xuan's ears. Looking in the sound, he suddenly saw two black shadows lying on the window on the yard wall under the bamboo forest ahead, looking around sneakily.
Du Xuan frowned slightly. The two of them were obviously not doing anything open and honest. In the decent Demon Valley, as disciples of Demon Valley, how could Du Xuan let others do whatever he wanted? Besides, Du Xuan was teased and contempt by Meng Kai a few days ago, and Du Xuan kept feeling angry.
So Du Xuan took out the colorful sandalwood stick and walked over quickly.
"Who!" Du Xuan shouted angrily in a low voice.
The two of them might have been too focused and had no idea about Du Xuan who was less than 10 feet away. If Du Xuan had not shouted angrily, they might not have noticed it at all, no matter how long Du Xuan stood.
Hearing this low angrily shout, the two sneaky black shadows turned their heads suddenly and looked at Du Xuan who was glaring at him in panic.
"Who are you two? Why are you sneaking here?" Du Xuan continued shouting, as if he was the master of the Demon Valley.
The two of them looked at Du Xuan carefully, and then, one of them put his index finger beside his mouth and made a booing move.
Then, the guy actually took the initiative to run to Du Xuan in three steps and said with a smile: "Brother, whisper, let's take a look. Could it be that he even stole things from your Demon Valley?"
Du Xuan was slightly stunned and blurted out, "What are you looking at!"
"Hehe, you can tell by looking at it. We two brothers are the most loyal and share the blessings, haha." At this time, the other person also tiptoed over and pulled Du Xuan directly to the wall of the courtyard, beside the window emitting a slight light.
