Seeing Ye Xiangyang, many contestants were shocked.
Who could have imagined that he, who had already obtained the double title of Son of God of Xuanwu Lake, would actually humble himself and participate in the alchemy competition
However, at this moment, there was no chance for them to talk as they had already walked to the competition venue.
There were 1,256 people in the competition venue, looking at the elder in front of them, the elder of Xuanwu Lake Dan Hall, an old man with white hair and a youthful face. His vigorous blood made him look like a newborn baby.
His voice was as clear as a mirror and had a special charm, like the sound of a divine voice from heaven: "Dear contestants, you are all here. Our medicine contest will not involve any empty talk. Let's start the competition now."
"The first item of the competition is to plant medicine. Our medicine seeds contain seeds of 999,999 kinds of medicines. Only one seed is a top-grade divine medicine. You need to find this seed and plant it."
"The planting site is the Xuanwu Farm. The Xuanwu Farm is a top-grade treasure of our Xuanwu Lake. The time inside is one hour outside and one year inside. Three days outside is thirty-six years inside. We will see who grows the best medicinal herbs. That person will win."
After the elder of Xuanwu Lake Dan Hall finished speaking, many audience members nodded in praise. This competition is about the contestants' eyesight and control over medicines. Being the God of Alchemy does not mean that you can just refine medicines, you also need to understand the growth of medicines and be able to discern the subtle differences in the growth process of medicines.
"The questions from Xuanwu Lake Alchemy Hall are refreshing. Refining elixirs is never as simple as just refining elixirs. A magical medicine grown in different places has different medicinal properties. The growth process of a medicinal plant is different, and the refined medicine is also different."
"Who says it's not? First of all, it's the selection of seeds. There are upper-grade, middle-grade and lower-grade God-level seeds. Each grade has upper, middle and lower grades. There is not much difference between their seeds. It's even hard to tell the difference. This competition is the best test of the Alchemy God's vision."
"That's right. Among the 999,999 medicinal seeds, only one is of the highest quality divine grade. It's extremely difficult to find it. This alone is enough to stump many people."
"If you check the wrong drug seeds, even if you grow them, it will be a failure."
"It's easy to grow medicine. Even though it takes thirty-six years, you have to know that the time required for a top-grade divine medicine is not tens of thousands of years. Thirty-six years is enough to grow the medicine to its full potential, so special techniques are needed. This is to see if they have any method for growing medicine."
…
An examination actually tests the contestants' eyesight, techniques, inheritance, foundation, and background... many things. As you can imagine, the difficulty is really extraordinary. Although it is difficult, the questions are not beyond the scope of Dandao competitions, which makes everyone admire Xuanwu Lake's level of question setting.
In addition, they also wanted to see what the foundation of the ninety states was like, which could be clearly seen from the cultivation of top-grade divine medicines.
The elder announced: "All contestants, if you perform very well in planting, even if you can only plant mid-grade divine medicine, you can enter our Xuanwu Lake Alchemy Hall and become an inner disciple. Those who successfully plant high-grade divine medicine will enter the next round of the competition and receive rewards."
People understood that this competition was also a time when Xuanwu Lake was looking for disciples. As long as you planted well, you would be able to enter Xuanwu Lake and bloom in the best conditions in Xuanwu Lake in countless years.
The spectators from ninety states all had excitement in their eyes. As a result, many more people would be able to enter Xuanwu Lake.
"Brother, you must seize the opportunity to enter Xuanwu Lake Alchemy Hall. Becoming an inner disciple is also an honor for our Alchemy Hall."
"Brother, I believe in you. You can do it."
"Come on, brother, you will definitely win."
When the contestants heard the elders' words, their hearts were filled with excitement. If they entered the Alchemy Hall, they would be baptized in the blood pool and would have access to the rich resources of Xuanwu Lake. Their identities would be transformed into disciples of Xuanwu Lake, bringing glory to their state and family, and their own path of cultivation would become wider.
They all had a determined look in their eyes: "I must do well in this battle. Only in this way can I enter Xuanwu Lake."
"I can't miss this God-given opportunity. I must win. I must win."
"Such a good opportunity has fallen upon me, I will definitely win. I want to enter Xuanwu Lake."
…
The medicinal seeds are in a storage bag, one bag for each person.
The divine cultivator who received the bag quickly entered his own Xuanwu farm according to his number.
After entering the Xuanwu Farm, some people took out a jade plate, spread it out, poured the seeds on the jade plate, and then took out a small detector to detect the seeds one by one. They wanted to find the seeds of the top-grade divine medicine. The detector was not very accurate, but generally speaking, the seeds of the lower-grade divine medicine could be distinguished. The remaining seeds were detected again to ensure that their detection was accurate.
Some people took out an alchemy furnace, poured the seeds into it, divided it into four areas, and used the furnace to start detection; some people used divine power to create a field, poured the seeds into the field, and began to search through the field; some people scattered the seeds into the air, used divine power to control them, let the seeds fall, and used their divine sense to detect and find the seeds...
More than 1,200 people participated in the competition, and their methods of finding seeds were not the same. Even among the disciples from the same Dan Hall, their methods of finding seeds were very different.
People saw that only one person was different, he was not looking for drug seeds at all.
This man, dressed in green, came to his own farm. He first looked around his farm, which was about a hundred acres in size, and then he walked around in his farm.
Every now and then he bent down and buried a divine crystal on the ground. Everyone watched him walk across the ground, burying a total of 990,000 divine crystals. Based on his steps, people who knew about formations understood that this person should have arranged the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Spirit Gathering Formation.
The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array is a formation often used in the alchemy world. The function of the formation is to gather divine power and promote the rapid growth of medicines. However, this person's formation seems to be more complicated, using a huge amount of 990,000 divine crystals, which shocked them all.
Time passed quickly inside. One month passed, three months passed, and one year passed. Too many people took a year to find the seeds they needed.
Some people began to plant medicinal seeds in their own world, most of them planted five seeds. Then, these people also began to arrange the spirit gathering array, and only after the spirit gathering array was arranged did they start watering.
Until this moment, Ye Xiangyang was still setting up the large formation. Lines of formation were spread out on the hundred acres of land where he was. There was a flickering light on the lines, and streams of green aura rose up, which was the gathering life energy.
Ye Xiangyang took out his seed storage bag and scattered it to the sky and earth like a fairy scattering flowers. Wow, it was like a rain, and all 999,999 kinds of medicinal seeds fell into the sky and earth.
The seeds fell like raindrops, but the earth seemed to come alive and swallowed the seeds.
Everyone's eyes widened, and many people didn't understand: "What is this for? Why did he plant all the seeds? My God, could it be that Ye Xiangyang was thinking that there must be a top-grade divine medicine here, so he planted them all?"
"A true god-level, top-grade medicine requires endless resources, but when it is a seedling, it is very weak and needs careful care. If it is not taken care of, there is a possibility of death."
"Is it possible that this person has never grown any medicine? Isn't this just nonsense?"
…
People couldn't understand Ye Xiangyang's methods, and they had never seen such methods before, because they felt that Ye Xiangyang didn't use any methods at all.
Many people shook their heads, thinking that they really came from the lower world. Is it so easy to grow divine-grade medicine? Don’t you see that even if those people planted in the fields, none of them did not fully process the seeds they planted. If they don’t process the seeds, it would be extremely difficult for the divine-grade medicine to germinate.
It seems that this person is really lacking in the art of medicine.
Ye Xiangyang seemed to have no intuition at all, he just did what he wanted.
After planting the seeds, he stretched out his big hand, which turned into a cloud that covered a hundred acres of land. Thunder flashed on his palm, and the golden snake was electrocuted. Thunder rumbled. Then the wind whistled, blowing across the entire field. Then, the clouds became thicker and thicker. With the last crack of thunder, heavy rain actually fell on Ye Xiangyang's palm.
People shook their heads again. If they were planting ordinary medicinal herbs, it would be a good idea. However, if they were planting top-grade divine medicinal herbs, wouldn't the medicinal seeds be buried in the fields after such a heavy rain
Look at the rest of the people, each of them is working diligently, using their most special methods, applying their top-level inheritance, to make the seeds germinate. They have the sun-drying method, the Shinto roasting method, the medicinal liquid soaking method, the warm soup soaking method, the Shenzang germination method, the peeling method... Different inheritances have different methods.
Everyone was serious and careful, not daring to be careless at all.
Only after Ye Xiangyang had watered the plants, he sat cross-legged beside the medicinal field and entered into a state of cultivation.
The energy in Ye Xiangyang's body was surging, and the chains of divine order were clanging on his body. Ye Xiangyang's chains of order were all engraved with the Three Thousand Divine Ways.
The chains of order of other virtual gods are all false, that is to say, they seem to be there and not there. Ye Xiangyang's chains of order do seem to be more real than the chains of order of the true gods.
