"Dang!" Not long after Mo Wuji finished extracting it, a bell rang. The sound of the bell struck in Mo Wuji's mind like a substance, making Mo Wuji's mind buzz.
Immediately, Mo Wuji smelled a burning smell. Due to the influence of the bell, the few alchemists who had not yet completed the purification declared that the purification had failed. Mo Wuji secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he was a little early and didn't try to purify it twice. Otherwise, he would be dead.
This Five Elements Danbi really showed no mercy at all, and directly used such rude methods to prevent the alchemist from continuing to refine it.
Ming Ning walked to the round altar again and said loudly, "It's time for the first competition. All alchemists, please cover the alchemy furnace and place the jade bottle on the alchemy furnace."
She didn't need to tell the alchemists who hadn't completed the purification to stop, because the sound of the bell had already failed the alchemists who hadn't completed the purification.
Mo Wuji covered the alchemy furnace, and then carefully placed the jade bottle on top of the alchemy furnace. He seemed to see Alchemist Ming Ning's eyes glancing at his right hand, but Mo Wuji didn't care. No matter how stipulated the alchemy competition is, he cannot be allowed to get injured while making the alchemy.
Several alchemists who were close to Mo Wuji couldn't help laughing when they saw Mo Wuji's right hand. This was the first time they saw an alchemist making elixirs and making their hands look like this.
Mo Wuji seemed not to notice the gazes around him, and was still staring at his jade bottle. His jade bottle number was No. 632.
After about two minutes, Mo Wuji felt a slight breeze blowing by, and then the jade bottle he placed on the alchemy furnace was taken away by the breeze.
After a while, he saw rows of jade bottles on the evaluation table of the round altar. There were four people sitting behind the evaluation table, and together with Alchemist Ming Ning standing on the round altar, there were exactly five people.
At this point, Mo Wuji dared to take out the healing elixir and swallow it. His hands were burned by the fire, but the third-grade human elixir on his body quickly controlled these injuries, and he began to recover within a few minutes.
After taking away the jade bottle, Alchemist Ming Ning also walked behind the judging table and sat down. The five judges opened the jade bottle and looked at the liquid inside the jade bottle one by one.
It took five people less than an hour to inspect more than a thousand jade bottles. Three hundred jade bottles were selected and set aside.
Alchemist Ming Ning stood up again and walked to the middle of the round altar. At this moment, everyone was paying attention to her. Because she was about to announce three hundred alchemists who were qualified to participate in the second round.
Alchemist Ming Ning glanced at the more than a thousand alchemists under the round altar, and then said loudly, "After the first round of Dan competition, the top three hundred have now been decided. The Dan with my registration number is Masters, please stay, and alchemists who do not have a registration number please leave the venue."
"No. 18, No. 39, No. 176, No. 98, No. 244..." Every time Alchemist Ming Ning's number was reported, the hearts of the alchemists present jumped. They looked forward to having their numbers reported.
Mo Wuji felt the same way, and he also looked forward to reporting his number. But as Alchemist Ming Ning reported more and more numbers, Mo Wuji's heart became heavier and heavier.
After all, he was the worst in cultivation, so he finally relied on the method of stir-frying medicine to purify the Iron Heart Bodhi Fruit. As for the purity of the purification, Mo Wuji was not sure at all, and all his energy at that time was focused on purification.
"No. 34, No. 711..." Alchemist Ming Ning was still reporting the number, and Mo Wuji's hands were shaking slightly. Now there are only the last dozen spots left.
"No. 491, No. 56." Master Ming Ning's call finally stopped.
Mo Wuji's fist clenched loudly, and the wound on his right hand that had not fully recovered was torn. He did not hear No. 632.
Just when Mo Wuji was about to despair, he seemed to feel Alchemist Ming Ning's eyes falling on him. Before Mo Wuji could react, Alchemist Ming Ning's call sounded again, "No. 632, No. 21, No. 2, No. 8o..."
Mo Wuji didn't hear the following numbers at all. He only heard the number 632. He succeeded. As long as his number was reported by Alchemist Ming Ning, it meant that he successfully passed the first round and ranked in the top three hundred. As for why Alchemist Ming Ning had to wait for a while before reporting his number, he completely ignored it.
When Mo Wuji calmed down again from his excitement, he heard Alchemist Ming Ning continue to say, "...the Alchemist whose number I reported will stay for the second round of Danbi. The rest of the Alchemists please leave."
Those alchemists whose numbers were not reported all left the Danby venue with extremely lonely expressions.
Zhen Shaoke, who was watching from a distance, clenched his fist and waved hard. Mo Wuji succeeded. He managed to stay among the top three hundred. Only he knew how difficult it was for Mo Wuji. It was simply a miracle that a third-level human alchemist with only the Meridian Expansion Realm survived the test of refining the Iron Heart Bodhi Fruit.
"Hey, isn't that person..." A woman in the crowd suddenly screamed in surprise when she saw Mo Wuji. There were more than a thousand people there before, but Mo Wuji was inconspicuous among them. At this time, **hundred people were eliminated and only 300 people were left. She recognized Mo Wuji at a glance.
"Wan'er, do you know anyone among those alchemists?" Standing next to Qu Wan'er was an old man with a black beard. He heard Qu Wan'er's surprise and asked quickly.
You must know that the alchemists who can rush out in the first round are not simple people. Wan'er actually knows one of the alchemists, which is definitely not a bad thing for them.
Regardless of the fact that Tianji Palace was a first-rate sect in the Xinghan Empire, it was even a national-protecting sect. But Tianji Temple is not outstanding in the entire Lost Continent. What's more, Tianji Palace is not a sect based on alchemy. Most of the earth-level alchemists they have are old guys who are over a hundred years old. In terms of training the younger generation of alchemists, Tianji Palace is not as good as some earth-level alchemy sects. Danbi, the Five Elements Wasteland, is dominated by young genius alchemists.
Qu Wan'er nodded, "We know him, but he was just a mortal at first. Because he had an unyielding character, I helped him twice at will. This happened more than half a year ago."
Qu Wan'er really didn't expect that Mo Wuji would show up here to participate in the Five Elements Competition, and even pass the first round. She said she helped Mo Wuji twice. The first time was when Shao Feng wanted to kill Mo Wuji, but she and Qin Zhen forcibly stopped him. The second time was in Changluo City. Mo Wuji wanted to buy medicine refining equipment. She found an excuse and helped Mo Wuji again.
"You said he is a mortal?" The black-bearded old man also asked in shock.
Qu Wan'er hesitated for a moment and then said, "He can't be considered a mortal. He has spiritual roots, but his spiritual roots are very poor. When I saw him kill two six-legged thunder crocodiles, he probably had no training and relied entirely on his own efforts to succeed. of."
When she asked Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji didn't say that he didn't have spiritual roots, he just said that his spiritual roots were poor. So Qu Wan'er didn't know that Mo Wuji was a real mortal.
The black-bearded old man nodded and said in an instructive tone, "Wan'er, your mind is still too simple. Do you think a person who has never practiced can kill two-headed and six-legged thunder crocodiles with all his strength? Do you think a big A person who hasn’t practiced yet half a year ago can stand here and participate in Danbi in the Five Elements Wilderness Realm, and even make it through the first round?”
"Master, you mean?" Qu Wan'er looked at the black-bearded old man in disbelief.
The black-bearded old man said with certainty, "Not only has he practiced, but he also has his own secrets. It is precisely because he does not want his secrets to be known, so he pretends to be an ordinary mortal. However, among our generation of cultivators, there are few who can stand out. My secret?"
Qu Wan'er was a little skeptical of her master's words. When she first saw Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji didn't seem to be pretending to be depressed. But the difference between Mo Wuji now and before made her feel that what the master said was not unreasonable.
"Wan'er, if that person can enter the top 100 in Danbi, can you ask him out to meet?" the black-bearded old man said again.
"Master, do you want him to help me find a place?" Qu Wan'er understood what the master meant.
The alchemy of Tianji Palace is not very powerful to begin with. There are a few powerful young alchemists who can reach the top 100, but there are still too many monks. Because Tianji Palace was originally a huge sect with numerous factions and countless talented disciples. It is not easy for Qu Wan'er to request a place to enter the Traceless Wilderness Realm.
The black-bearded old man nodded, "If he can reach the top 100, even if we don't get a spot, it would be good to build a good relationship with him. Such a young alchemist must have a bright future."
Qu Wan'er pursed her lips and said nothing. When he lent her a spiritual grass and gave Mo Wuji hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it was indeed because of Mo Wuji's perseverance, which she admired. There was no mercy at all, and he didn't want to see a man he admired being stumped by a mere few hundred thousand worldly gold coins.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and it was not long before she asked Mo Wuji for it. Even Qu Wan'er herself had never thought about it.
At this moment, she had an unspeakable feeling in her heart. For a moment, she even hoped that Mo Wuji would not rush into the top 100. In this case, she would not have to lower her head and ask Mo Wuji for something. Even if she met Mo Wuji to catch up on old times, she didn't want to ask Mo Wuji to give her a place.
This was not just her pride, but more importantly, she knew that even if Mo Wuji got the ranking, it would be difficult for him to give her a spot. Because Mo Wuji must represent a certain sect in the Five Elements Dan Competition, once he wins, it may not be Mo Wuji's turn to allocate the quota.
…
At this moment, the eliminated alchemist left the field, and Mo Wuji and others were also taken to a place to rest. The alchemy furnace in front of the round altar was quickly cleared away, and in just a short period of time, there were 300 things that looked like flower beds.
Alchemist Ming Ning stood up again and said, "Alchemists participating in the second round of competition, please stand in front of the medicine altar that belongs to your own number."
It turned out that this thing was called a medicine altar, and Mo Wuji quickly found the medicine altar No. 632.
When Alchemist Ming Ning saw all the alchemists standing still, he said, "The second competition of the Five Elements Dan Competition has begun..."
