At best, Xu Chunniang could refine a top-grade talisman of the first grade, but this level might not be good enough.
The only thing left is beast control. I don't know what the specific assessment content of beast control is.
Although she had contracted two spirit beasts, her attainments in the art of taming beasts were far inferior to hers in the art of talismans...
It seems that the only thing Weiyi can count on is the third ring match.
However, this competition is the most difficult to score in among the three competitions.
The rules of this competition are very simple. Except for the sect where the defending party is located, disciples from the other four sects can all go on stage to challenge, and the winner will get one point.
If the defending party wins, they will continue to defend the ring and face other challengers.
If the challenger wins, his status changes to defender and he accepts challenges from others.
If you want to get three points, you must win three consecutive games in the ring, which is a very difficult thing.
After all, those who came to participate in the Five Sects Competition were all elite disciples carefully selected from the five major sects, and among them there were many talented disciples who could fight across levels.
It is not easy to win a game.
Relatively speaking, it is indeed much easier to collect three pieces of ethereal stones to get three points.
This is also the reason why other fellow disciples have such strong opinions about Xu Chunniang.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.
Her own fighting ability is not bad, and she has the help of Little Orange. No matter what, she must at least win back the three points that the Void Stone lacks.
Three days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for the second competition.
At the Miao Dan Sect's training ground, all five major sects were present. After the Miao Dan Sect leader announced the competition items and rules, a few discussions were heard from the audience.
"I knew that among the 100 arts of cultivation this time, alchemy must be one of them. Miaodan disciples are good at alchemy, and I'm afraid they will take the top three spots."
"Hehe, how else can we say that the sect hosting the Five Sects Competition has the home advantage? As for refining equipment, making talismans, and taming beasts, they are pretty standard."
"The Wanjian Sect and Hanshan Sect are good at refining weapons, and the Wuliang Sect is good at talismans. I think this time, the Xiaoyao Sect will really be at the bottom."
"The Xiaoyao Sect has a lot of different teachings, and their disciples have never been very good. The Miaodan Sect was at the bottom last time, so wouldn't the Xiaoyao Sect, which is ranked fourth, be at the bottom this time?"
When the people from Xiaoyao Sect heard this, their faces turned unhappy.
Anyone who hears others talking about their own sect like this would feel uncomfortable.
Yue Ling took a deep breath and looked at his disciples.
"Don't let other people's words affect your next performance. Show your strength and let them know that we, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, should not be insulted lightly!"
"Disciple understands!"
However, although that was said, in the first round of the alchemy competition, only two of the ten disciples from the Xiaoyao Sect participated.
Apart from Danfeng Huangfu Tian, there is only one disciple from the main peak who is proficient in alchemy.
There were even fewer disciples from the Wanjian Sect and the Hanshan Sect, with only one participating. The Wuliang Sect, which was good at making talismans, had three.
As for the Miaodan Sect, there are seven disciples participating in alchemy.
In terms of numbers alone, it far exceeds the other four sects, not to mention the Miaodan Sect, which is famous for its elixirs.
The competition requires participants to start refining the bone-renewing pills at the same time within three days, and finally the top three will be decided based on the quality and quantity of the finished pills, as well as the length of refining time.
First place gets five points, second place gets three points, and third place gets two points.
As a relatively common second-level elixir, Xugudan is not difficult to refine.
But for these disciples who have just reached the foundation-building stage, it is extremely challenging.
Each contestant will only receive one set of alchemy materials. If they fail or the furnace explodes, they will be directly judged as a failure and will lose the qualification to continue the competition.
The fourteen people who were refining elixirs on the field had all been immersed in this art for a long time, so accidents like furnace explosion would naturally not occur.
They skillfully took the spiritual herbs and medicines, purified their medicinal properties one by one, and then put them into the furnace in order and began to refine them.
However, not everyone can refine the Bone-Renewing Pill. Soon, a disciple of the Wuliang Sect failed in his refining. Black smoke came out of the pill furnace, emitting an unpleasant medicinal smell.
He smiled helplessly, cleaned the furnace, and then took the initiative to retreat.
After the disciple from Wuliang Sect, disciples from Wanjian Sect and Hanshan Sect also failed one after another.
At this point, there were only eleven people left on the stage.
Two days later, a strange fragrance gradually wafted out of the alchemy furnace, which was a sign that the elixir was about to be produced.
Many people raised their heads and looked towards the field, wanting to know who would refine the first batch of pills.
A disciple of the Miaodan Sect smelled the fragrance of medicine from the furnace, turned down the fire, and waited patiently.
As time passed, the strange fragrance first became stronger, then fainter, and finally almost inaudible.
At this moment, the disciple of Miaodan Sect took away the fire and clasped his hands on the furnace.
After the temperature on the alchemy furnace had completely cooled down, she calmly opened the furnace and took out the finished pill.
After she succeeded in making the elixir, two more of her disciples succeeded in making the elixir.
But at this moment, a burnt lake smell came out.
It turned out that a disciple of the Wuliang Sect was anxious when he saw that others had succeeded in making the elixir, and made a mistake in his technique.
His heart tightened, and he hurriedly put out the fire, formed a seal, and collected the pills. However, he found that the pill furnace was full of black residue, and he only got two low-grade bone-repairing pills.
He looked frustrated. With such a result, he obviously couldn't make it into the top three.
After him, a disciple who was about to make the elixir failed.
At this point, there were only six people still refining, including two from the Xiaoyao Sect, one from the Wuliang Sect, and three from the Miaodan Sect.
A Xiaoyao Sect disciple stared at the few people, with worry in his eyes.
"Zhou She and Huangfu Tian are about to succeed in making pills, but I don't know how the finished pills they have made will turn out."
"The Miao Dan Sect sent out seven people to refine the elixir this time. It's obvious that they were well prepared. It's really difficult to surpass the Miao Dan Sect in terms of elixir quality and quantity."
Everyone knew this, but they still hoped that the two people who were refining the elixir could create a miracle.
As time passed, none of the remaining six people failed, and all of them succeeded in making the pill.
Huangfu Tian looked at the elders who were tasting the elixir and frowned slightly.
He had not refined this bone-renewing pill very often, and had only refined it three or five times before this.
I was lucky enough to succeed in refining it this time and get two medium-grade bone-replenishing pills.
I don’t know if I can be in the top three with this result.
Compared to Huangfu Tian's nervousness, Zhou She on the side seemed quite calm.
Although he was lucky enough to refine the Bone-Repairing Pill, he only got six successful pills in total, and all of them were of low quality.
Such a result is only slightly better than those that failed in refining, and there is no chance of being in the top three.
He patted Huangfu Tian on the shoulder and consoled him, "Relax a little. This time the Five Sects Competition is held at the home court of the Miao Dan Sect. They must have refined the Bone-Repairing Pill countless times."
