Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a competition in the distance that seemed to be about alchemy, and asked curiously: "What is that for?"
Master Mo Yan chuckled and said: "That is an alchemy competition held every six months by Yanyu Pavilion. Those who enter the top ten in the competition will receive generous rewards, mainly elixirs, silver and the like. Those who enter the top three will receive a prize worth two thousand
Two silver coins of elixir recipe, but there is an age requirement for contestants, they must be under twenty-five years old."
"The one who comes first in this competition can get the blood-strengthening elixir recipe. This alone is enough for many alchemists to come to participate in the competition."
Warriors who enter the Inner Strength Realm actually have to go through roughly four stages: strengthening blood, strengthening bones, strengthening liver, and condensing Qi.
These four stages are achieved through the combination of martial arts and elixirs. There is no order of priority, and there is no mandatory requirement to complete these four stages.
For most Neizhuang realm warriors, as long as they can gather enough true energy to enter the Yunqi realm, it is enough. You can just practice the first three stages casually.
But Su Yu is different. His goal is to achieve immortality through martial arts. This road is extremely difficult. If he cannot lay a solid foundation in each realm or even break the limit, how can he achieve the goal of immortality in martial arts?
"Unfortunately, I am not an alchemist from Yanyu Pavilion, so I am not qualified to participate in the competition." Su Yu sighed slightly.
Seeing that Su Yu wanted to participate in the competition, Master Mo Yan quickly said, "Actually, people who are not alchemists from Yanyu Pavilion can also participate in the competition. Why don't you give it a try?"
He is actually very good at Su Yu's alchemy skills. If so, he can take this opportunity to take a look at Su Yu's alchemy skills.
As for getting into the top ten and getting rewards?
Master Mo Yan is not looking down on Su Yu. The competition in this alchemy competition is very exciting. Only those who are outstanding in first-level alchemy can hope to enter the top ten, and only second-level alchemists are qualified to compete for the top three spots.
Su Yu became interested when he heard that his alchemy level should be at the level of a second-grade alchemist.
And he also inquired that the younger generation are basically either first- or second-grade alchemists. Perhaps, he can compete for the first place and obtain the blood-strengthening elixir recipe.
You must know that the blood-strengthening elixir is not available in the market. It is regarded as the unique elixir of Yanyu Pavilion. Once you miss this opportunity and want to get another elixir that can strengthen your qi and blood, you will have to
There are many difficulties.
Thinking of this, Su Yu came to the place where the competition was held. A man who looked like a medicine boy came over and asked, "Sir, are you here to participate in the competition?"
Su Yu nodded slightly: "You can participate even if you are not an alchemist from Yanyu Pavilion."
"You can also participate, but you must take the test. Please go there and answer the test paper. You can only participate in the competition after passing the test."
Su Yu had no doubts and understood this approach. After all, we couldn't allow some people with little ability to participate in the competition. That would only be a waste of medicinal materials.
The content of the test paper was so simple that even Su Yu, who had never been exposed to alchemy before, was able to pass the test and it took him nearly ten minutes to complete the answer.
The examiner who was checking the test paper nearby took Su Yu's test paper, scanned it quickly, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, full score, you can take part in the competition."
Although this test paper is simple, not everyone can get full marks. The boy in front of me finished the test paper so quickly and still got full marks. In terms of basic knowledge alone, he has passed the test.
However, alchemy is a very practical skill after all, and you still need to practice to see if you have any real skills.
Su Yu nodded slightly and chose an empty seat for the time being.
There will still be some time before the competition officially starts, so we can only find a place to do it first.
As for the content of the competition, it is quite simple. You will refine the elixir you are best at and the examiner will make a comprehensive evaluation.
Soon, it was time for the competition to begin.
Hundreds of elixir furnaces have also been arranged, and each participant in the competition selects the elixir furnace, selects medicinal materials, and prepares to refine the elixir.
There were many people watching in the audience, watching this grand event that only happens once every six months.
"Master Mo Yu must have won first place in this competition again."
"That's not true. Mo Yu is young and has already won the first place four times in a row. He can enter the ranks of third-level alchemists at any time and become the youngest generation of alchemy masters."
"Hey, it's a pity that ordinary warriors like you and I can only watch here silently. On weekdays, we don't even have the chance to see Master Moyu."
Su Yu heard these words unconsciously and looked at Mo Yu, who was attracting the attention of the crowd.
Dressed in white as snow, with an extraordinary temperament and handsome young appearance, he indeed has the demeanor of an alchemy master.
He and Mo Yu were not far away, and they each chose the medicinal materials they wanted.
Mo Yu suddenly looked at Su Yu, who was wearing a fox mask, and asked, "Who is it that you are refining the Qi Accumulating Pill?"
Su Yu nodded slightly and said without denying: "It is indeed the Qi Accumulating Pill."
In fact, Su Yu could only refine Qi Yun Dan. The refining methods of other pills were all learned from his master. However, the master did not allow him to show the alchemy skills he learned from him, so he had to refine Yun Qi.
Dan.
Mo Yu observed Su Yu and found no token unique to the alchemist of Yanyu Pavilion. He was slightly surprised to know that this alchemist was not from Yanyu Pavilion but knew how to refine the Qi Pill.
In fact, he can also refine the Qi Accumulating Pill, but he doesn't grasp it well and easily produces useless elixirs. When he saw someone dare to choose to refine the Qi Accumulating Pill, which is extremely easy to fail, he shook his head silently, thinking that this person was taking too much risk. Once he refined it,
If it fails, it will become a useless elixir.
However, Mo Yu did not regard Su Yu as his opponent. As Mo Yu, who had won first place many times in a row, he still had absolute confidence in the matter of alchemy.
Soon, flames rose from each of the alchemy furnaces, and the air became a little hotter.
Su Yu frowned slightly, grabbed the slightly dark purple spirit grass in his hand, and said to himself: "Why is this kind of purple spirit grass?"
When he was refining the Qi Accumulating Pill, he always liked to use moist purple spirit grass, which could greatly improve the success rate of the pill. However, he did not expect that the purple spirit grass provided here was dry.
Maybe it's because almost no one uses this medicinal material. In fact, only Su Yu took this medicinal material and planned to use it to refine Qi Yun Dan, so a more suitable one was not provided?
Master Mo Yan saw that Su Yu was the only one left selecting medicinal materials and seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked: "Little friend, I don't know what you are wondering about?"
Many people who came to watch the competition did not know Master Mo Yan, but the examiners in charge of the exam knew Master Mo Yan. When they heard that Master Mo Yan cared about an ordinary alchemist, they were slightly surprised and turned their attention to Su Yu.
Su Yu explained: "This Purple Spirit Grass is already dry. I wonder if you have any moist Purple Spirit Grass."
When Master Mo Yan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly and he said, "Well, moist purple spirit grass is indeed more effective. I didn't expect that my friend even knew this."
"Is there the purple spirit grass he mentioned here?" Master Mo Yan asked the examiner.
One of them thought for a moment and said: "Yes, but this will break the rules of the competition."
After Su Yu heard this, he stopped bothering others and said, "No need, I'll deal with it with water."
Can purple spirit grass be treated with water?
Hearing this, Master Mo Yan was slightly shocked. He had never heard such a statement before.
In fact, even Su Yu's master didn't know this statement. The reason why Su Yu knew it was because he relied on his talent when refining the Qi Accumulating Pill.
After grabbing the Purple Spirit Grass on the yellow paper, Su Yu went to an alchemy furnace and began to process the Purple Spirit Grass with water.
Although most of the people watching below didn't understand, they could still understand that the man wearing the fox mask seemed extraordinary and knew a lot.
However, after Su Yu finished processing the purple spirit grass, others were almost halfway through refining the elixir. Can they still refine the elixir well in such a short period of time?
Mo Yu, who was originally worried that his first place position was not guaranteed, saw that Su Yu had already wasted most of his time, and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. It was extremely difficult to refine a batch of Qi Accumulating Pills in such a short period of time.
, the probability of failure is extremely high.
Su Yu, as if he had no concept of time, crushed the processed purple spirit grass and lit a fire for the alchemy furnace.
He actually knew it well. In order to shorten the time for refining alchemy, Su Yu also thought of some methods on his own.
One of the methods is to use Qi Yun Dan as coal to make a fire. How could an ordinary person be so crazy as to use pills to start a fire?
"Huh, luckily, I still have five Qi Accumulating Pills, which is enough."
Then, under Mo Yu's secret observation, Su Yu made an operation that many people didn't understand and threw a pill into the flames!
"He...what is he doing?!" Someone noticed Su Yu's crazy behavior and couldn't help shouting.
"You actually threw the pill into the fire, you're a prodigal! A prodigal!" someone shouted angrily, thinking this was such a waste!
Master Mo Yan frowned slightly, unable to understand Su Yu's operation.
"What are you doing?" One of the examiners couldn't help but asked.
Master Mo Yan could only shake his head slightly, indicating that he would continue to watch.
I saw that the flames of the alchemy furnace in front of Su Yu became more intense, even overflowing and burning.
Mo Yu's eyes widened a bit, and he said in surprise: "Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid of bad elixirs?!"
When the other alchemists saw Su Yu's operation, they expressed their incomprehension and were greatly surprised.
Su Yu ignored the gazes of others and added water and threw the elixir at his own pace.
Under the three Qi Accumulating Pills, the flames were burning, and white gas was constantly staring at the furnace lid, looking like it was about to explode at any time.
Soon, beyond everyone's expectations, Su Yu became the first person to refine the elixir.
Su Yu calmly extinguished the flame, exhaled slightly, and felt a slight pain in his heart. This was a pot of pills worth thirty taels...
However, if you can rely on this to get first place and win the blood-strengthening elixir recipe, it will not be a loss at all.
"Is this... ready to be refined?" Someone asked in surprise, not believing that a batch of elixirs could be refined so quickly.
However, a strong medicinal fragrance came and permeated the surroundings, making people suspect that the refined medicine was not an elixir, but a fairy medicine.
"It seems... the refining was really successful." Someone whispered, still a little unconvinced that a batch of elixirs could be refined so quickly, even much faster than the previous number one Mo Yu.
Mo Yu, who had always been proud, was shocked when he saw that Su Yu had successfully refined it so quickly, and the strong fragrance of the medicine came out.
He had always thought that he was the most talented alchemist of the younger generation, but today he met a mysterious man wearing a mask, whose alchemy skills were actually a bit better than his.
There is still hope...can't give up.
Mo Yu secretly cheered herself up and focused her energy on refining alchemy.
Su Yu opened the furnace lid, took out ten intact pills, brought the pills to the examiner, and asked calmly: "This is the Qi Accumulating Pill I refined. You can identify it."
Several examiners came over one after another, and one person was even more surprised: "What you are refining is the Qi Accumulating Pill?"
You must know that the difficulty of refining Qi Yun Dan is the most difficult type of elixir among second-grade alchemists. The speed of refining Qi Yun Dan can be so fast, and the quality of the elixir seems to be pretty good. This person's alchemy
His technique has definitely reached a terrifying level among second-grade alchemists!
"Three pills of excellent quality! Three of them are of good quality, and the rest are of excellent quality..." The examiner gave his own judgment and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The success rate of the elixir has reached 100%. Even if they were asked to do it, they would not dare to say that it could achieve a 100% success rate, but the young man in front of him did it easily.
The other examiners also gave their own judgments, which were consistent with the judgment given by the first examiner. In the end, they gave Su Yu a score of 99. The reason for giving one less point was purely out of fear that there would be others who were better than Su Yu.
Alchemist.
Hearing the examiner's announcement, Mo Yu lost his mind for a moment and almost failed to control the heat, causing the elixir refining to fail.
Did I really lose...
However, Mo Yu did not give up on himself. He knew that there were people outside the world, and there was a heaven outside the world. There was no need to give up on himself because of the blow, but he had to work harder.
The alchemy competition ended quickly, and the final result was naturally without any surprises. Su Yu won the first place and received the blood-strengthening elixir recipe, a thousand taels of silver, and some rejuvenation elixirs, Qi-accumulating elixirs, and bone-tempering elixirs.
Dan wait.
After collecting the reward, Su Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by someone, who was Mo Yu.
"Who is your master? Can you tell me his name?"
Su Yu shook his head slightly and said, "It's not convenient to tell you."
Master Mo Yan looked at Su Yu who was about to leave, knowing in his heart that Yanyu Pavilion could not retain such a genius. The master behind Su Yu's alchemy skills was probably beyond imagination, and the elixir sent was probably refined by Su Yu himself.
"Mo Yu, you go and follow that little friend silently. I'm worried that someone will do something bad to him."
Master Mo Yan was actually Mo Yu's master. Mo Yu actually also had this worry in his heart. He nodded slightly and secretly followed Su Yu.
Su Yu, who was out of everyone's sight, looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following him. After all, he had attracted a lot of people's attention just now, and he was holding a blood-strengthening elixir in his hand. It was entirely possible that someone was following him.
