Two hours have passed.
All seventy-one contestants walked out of the space, and their answers remained in the space.
The disciples of the Holy Water Sect laughed loudly: "Ye Xiangyang, you will definitely lose the first round. Junior Sister Mei Qiqing, just wait and become my dual cultivation partner."
"Hahaha, that's right. Although this recipe is not leaked by our sect, it is a recipe that I have actually seen, and I know all the answers."
"Hahaha, we won the first game. If we win the second game, Ye Xiangyang, you're digging a hole and burying yourself."
The other disciples were also very happy and they were full of confidence about this question.
The elder announced: "As long as you can answer the medicine correctly, you will get 100 points. If you give one more medicine recipe, you will get 100 more points."
The elders started from the east, with the disciples of Bingling Sect at the easternmost end. After careful examination, the first place had 400 points, the second place had 300 points, the third place had 400 points...
People were all sighing in amazement, saying that these people were truly amazing, as they were able to deduce so many prescriptions within two hours. Every time a result was announced, there was warm applause from the audience.
When they arrived at the Yunzhen Sect, most of the candidates scored 400 points, 300 points, and some even scored 200 points. However, the man from the Sixth Heaven scored 700 points. This result shocked everyone present.
The last recipe for the elixir was also correct after everyone's speculation over and over again.
The score of 700 points, hanging high at the top, became the most shining result.
Next came the two from Huoyun Sect and Ye Xiangyang, who scored an unprecedented 600 points. When this result came out, the venue was in an uproar, especially the people from Huoyun Sect, who applauded loudly. What did it mean? It meant that their fellow disciples had pushed their results to the peak.
The leader of the Huoyun Sect said, "Ye Xiangyang, now you should know that our medicinal elixir foundation is definitely not something you can compare to."
"Hahaha, you think our one million immortal crystals are easy to earn? You're dreaming. We're going to make sure you lose everything."
Then we went to the Holy Water Sect, and surprisingly all the people there scored 600 points. It can only be said that it was because of the question, and with the Heavenly Dao Oath, no sect dared to cheat.
The five people from the Holy Water Fairy Sect also looked proud: "Ye Xiangyang, let's see how many points you can get?"
"Yeah, you still want to make a bet with us. I really don't know what you are thinking."
Finally, it was the Danding Immortal Sect. The Danding Immortal Sect had a strong foundation. Five hundred points, six hundred points, five hundred points, six hundred points, five hundred points… Their overall score surpassed that of all the other sects except the Shengshui Sect.
The last one was Ye Xiangyang, and people were all looking at Ye Xiangyang with suspicion to see what his score would be.
The twelve elders were arguing together: "Ye Xiangyang is right about these six, but what about these three?"
“Tell me, these three can refine the elixir, it’s just nonsense.”
"Our rules don't say you can't answer incorrectly, nor do they say you'll lose points if you do. Ye Xiangyang's minimum score should be 600 points."
"No points can be deducted. Seventy-one people, the first seventy, did you see them writing randomly? Ye Xiangyang is deliberately causing trouble. Deduct one hundred points as a punishment."
"That's fine too. If everyone writes nonsense like this, can we still continue the competition?"
The elder who taught Danding Xianzong was unwilling: "What are you doing, deliberately suppressing my disciples? You are wrong, yes, these three are not in compliance, but maybe they are correct. At least give my disciples 600 points."
In the end, Ye Xiangyang ranked 600 points.
People stared at Ye Xiangyang with disbelief on their faces. In the first match, this kid actually got the same score as someone from Bingling Sect who already knew the questions. Could it be that he really had such amazing alchemy skills
"No matter what, Ye Xiangyang has a unique talent in refining pills."
"Yes, this is undeniable. It seems that the sect picked him up for a reason."
Yun Jianhan and the others applauded loudly, each of them extremely happy. Even though eldest brother said that he tied with his opponent in the first match, the man from the Holy Water Sect knew the answer. Could his guess be on the same level as eldest brother's own
"Brother, you are amazing. Victory will definitely belong to you."
"Yes, big brother has never lost, and today he will definitely win."
The people of the Holy Water Sect sneered and said, "It's a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. Ye Xiangyang, you are lucky in this round. You will definitely lose the next round."
"That's right, your dual cultivation partner must be one of ours."
Ye Xiangyang smiled slightly: "What are you thinking about? Let me tell you, I will definitely be the first in this round, just wait and see."
All the contestants heard this. The people from Bingling Sect and Huoyun Sect laughed out loud: "Ye Xiangyang, are you crazy? There are people from Yunzhen Sect who scored 700 points. If you want to be the first, can you still write down some achievements?"
"I've met some really amazing people this year. I want to see how you can add to your achievements."
"If you can add to the score, I won't play in the next game."
Ye Xiangyang laughed: "Deal, if I can't add any points, I will withdraw from the competition."
"Okay, it's a deal."
There was a lot of noise on the field.
Ye Xiangyang came to the twelve elders and said, "Elder, my answer is nine, why did you only give me 600 points?"
The elder of the Bingling Sect looked at Ye Xiangyang and said sternly, "Boy, the last three answers you wrote were random. It's good that we didn't deduct your points."
Ye Xiangyang smiled slightly: "Elder, how do you know I wrote it nonsense?"
The elder was suddenly speechless. Was it because they didn't see through the recipe
Ye Xiangyang said bluntly: "Let me tell you, you didn't understand the recipe, right? That's the case. I'll also tell you that all three recipes are correct, you just don't know it."
These elders are all powerful figures. Over the years, no one has ever spoken to them like this. It was like a slap in the face to them.
The elder of Bingling Sect was furious at the time: "Ye Xiangyang, we said no, and that means no. We don't know the answer to the question yet."
The elder of the Yunzhen Sect said: "Ye Xiangyang, considering your young age and ignorance, we will not bother with you."
Ye Xiangyang smiled: "Elders, you don't bother with me, but I will bother with you. Let's put it this way. You give me the medicine and the alchemy furnace, and I will refine it for you. If I can't refine any of the three alchemy recipes, I will not withdraw from this alchemy competition, okay? If I can refine it, you must add my score."
Ye Xiangyang's words shocked everyone present. What he said was right. If you think it won't work, you can refine it on the spot. If you can't refine it, then of course it is a failure.
The first round of the elders' competition had already been completed. They were all stunned as they looked at the scene here: "Oh my god, who is this guy? He actually challenged all the elders present."
The alchemy elders from the twelve sects took over Ye Xiangyang's answer. After speculation, they found that two of them were indeed possible. Compared with the elders who passed on skills, the alchemy elders had made more achievements in the field of alchemy.
The Bingling Sect's elder who was in charge of the skills transmission couldn't help but said, "Well, let him refine this one. If he succeeds, we will give him 100 points. If he fails, he will withdraw from the competition."
This matter concerns the reputation of all the great elders. For tens of thousands of years, they have never been challenged or stopped by disciples. Today is a unprecedented event.
Ye Xiangyang nodded in agreement.
The elder of Bingling Sect took out the alchemy furnace and the medicine.
Their alchemy furnace is the most common one. They want Ye Xiangyang to fail in refining this kind of elixir so that they can eliminate him. After being eliminated, the overall score of Danding Xianzong will drop.
Ye Xiangyang didn't care. Black flames rose and began to preheat the furnace.
After the preheating was completed, Ye Xiangyang extracted the essence one by one. Fortunately, the level of these medicines was not high. After three hours, Ye Xiangyang finally completed the extraction.
Then, Ye Xiangyang entered the elixir melting stage. Various medicines were added into the elixir furnace. The flame under the elixir was sometimes high and sometimes low. Ye Xiangyang was fully focused and poured his attention into refining the elixir.
The last one was not handled well, and with a loud bang, the furnace exploded and the elixir inside was destroyed.
Some people laughed: "What do you think? I said he was just messing around. I have never seen this recipe being used to make pills."
"Hehehe, he's young. Just wait and see, maybe he will lose the chance to participate in the competition."
Ye Xiangyang turned a deaf ear to all this. He thought carefully about the mistake just now. It was because of a mistake that caused the explosion just now. The mistake was that the temperature was wrong when adding the essence of the medicine.
After the last failure, Ye Xiangyang became more cautious this time in drug integration.
He once again put the essence of the medicine into the furnace one by one.
After an hour, suddenly there were crisp sounds coming from the furnace: dang dang dang—
A scent of medicine wafted out, and people understood that Ye Xiangyang had succeeded in refining it.
The alchemy furnace was opened, and three pills flew out, glowing with light and smelling fragrant. However, the types of these pills were not enough to cause pill thunder.
Ye Xiangyang handed the elixir to the elders of Bingling Sect, Dandingxian Sect, and Huoyun Sect.
They looked at the pill and confirmed that it was indeed the Qi-boosting pill as stated in the recipe.
The elder of the Bingling Sect felt his cheeks flushed. Since he became an elder for many years, he had never encountered such an embarrassing situation. The person who set the question was actually stumped by his disciple.
They were helpless and could only re-announce: "I declare that Ye Xiangyang's first score is 900 points."
The people from Danding Xianzong, as well as Hu Ba, Yun Jianhan and others clapped their hands hard: Hahaha, who was it just now who was so arrogant and said that our boss would definitely lose, has he lost now
"By the way, someone else said that as long as my boss can change the score, he will not participate in the competition. You can't participate in the next game."
Almost everyone present looked at Ye Xiangyang. Who could have thought that Ye Xiangyang was so powerful that he actually made the elders change the scores and finally won the first game with a score of 900.
The seven people from the Fire Cloud Immortal Sect and the Holy Water Immortal Sect looked at Ye Xiangyang with solemn eyes. They felt as if they had fallen into a pit.
