Chapter 38: The competition of alchemy masters

Views:

"Excellent, impossible, is it really the best!"

Seeing the elixir being released, there was a sudden cry of exclamation in the square, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Are you kidding me? It’s just that the combined refining method succeeded in producing an elixir, but what was actually produced was the best elixir!

Those who used to talk about Liu Qian's "black history" with gusto and thought Liu Qian was ignorant of the world now felt their faces burning when they saw the top-grade elixir shining in the sun.

You must know that their previous discussions and ridicules were not said behind their backs in private, but they were happily shared with everyone in the square. But at this time, their previous sharing had forced themselves into an awkward position. Looking back on the past, they looked like clowns.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, you are indeed extraordinary!"

Following a burst of laughter, Yan Xinghe and the other three alchemy masters walked out of the wooden building and arrived at the square. When the people around them saw the appearance of the four alchemy masters, they immediately gave way to a road leading directly to Liu Gan.

Yan Xinghe and others walked through the road that everyone was getting out of the way, and came to Liu Qian, and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, can you let us test the quality of the elixir?"

"My humble skills made the four masters laugh, please." Liu Qian cupped his hands and said.

Yan Xinghe and others each took an elixir, looked at its texture and smelled it, and examined it very carefully. After some inspections, the four people discussed in low voices with each other for a while. Yan Xinghe stood up and faced everyone and said: "After our verification, Fellow Daoist Liu used the method of combining and refining to refine the top-quality Yuan Condensing Pill, which is based on the Dan Dao." His attainments deserve to be called a master. I wonder if you colleagues have any different opinions?"

Just kidding, the four alchemy masters have verified it, who dares to stand up and object at this time? What's more, under the gaze of everyone, Liu Qian used the method of refining to refine the best elixir. The obvious fact is here, who can stand up and question it

Since no one objected, Liu Qian was granted the title of Grandmaster. Although there is no strict assessment, the Alchemy Conference still provides a token to prove the identity, an identity card of the Alchemy Grandmaster, which represents the recognition of the Alchemy Conference.

The birth of a new alchemy master made this alchemy conference even more exciting. However, after today, the most discussed topic is probably about Jin Hongze.

After passing the Grandmaster examination, Liu Qian followed Yan Xinghe and others back to the wooden building. In the square, things continued as before, with people constantly coming on stage to show off their skills. However, with Liu Ganzhuyu in front, no matter how amazing the people behind them are, it will be difficult to attract everyone's attention.

On the wooden building, Ye Zan, Yan Xinghe and others chatted for a while, instructing several people on how to use the camera artifact, and also exchanged their opinions on the alchemy path.

Although it was impossible for Ye Zan to apply the scientific theory, he was very reasonable in analyzing the medicinal properties of herbal medicines.

Yan Xinghe and other alchemy masters nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and they couldn't help but secretly thought: He is indeed a person who can cultivate at the foundation-building level and become an alchemy master!

After some exchanges, Ye Zan stood up and prepared to leave. After all, the purpose of coming here has been completed, and it doesn't make much sense to stay here.

However, when Ye Zan was leaving, Yan Xinghe mentioned one more thing. As the Alchemy Conference draws to a close, several Alchemy masters will take the stage to demonstrate their respective Alchemy skills. On the one hand, it is a demonstration for other alchemists, and on the other hand, it is also for communication and competition between each other, so I want to invite Ye Zan and Liu Qian to participate.

Originally, Ye Zan had no interest, but Yan Xinghe mentioned that this time there was a prize in the Grandmaster's competition, and the prize was a One-Qi Hunyuan Golden Pill provided by the Alchemy Sect.

There is actually a very special thing about alchemy cultivators. It is not just that they can refine alchemy. Their cultivation is actually inseparable from alchemy, or elixirs. The golden elixir realm of alchemy cultivators is called the alchemy golden elixir, because most of their golden elixirs use some kind of elixir as the basis to form elixirs. This greatly reduces the difficulty for them to form elixirs, and of course their strength is not as good as that of traditional practitioners in the golden elixir realm.

This Qi Hunyuan Golden Pill is, on the one hand, a well-known pill for improving cultivation, and it is also the best pill base for alchemy cultivators to use to form pills.

Although he already has the title of Alchemy Master, Ye Zan has no intention of changing to Alchemy. However, the effectiveness of this Qi Hunyuan Golden Pill in improving cultivation is still very attractive to him.

What Ye Zan needs now is to cultivate the Dao foundation to perfection, especially after opening the acupoints and spiritual springs, the spiritual energy required is even more terrifying. Even if he uses the best spiritual stones every day, reaching the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

In fact, Ye Zan came to the Alchemy Conference this time for a very important purpose, which was to find out if there were any magical elixirs that could improve his cultivation. Therefore, since he had the opportunity to obtain a One-Qi Hunyuan Golden Pill, he naturally did not want to miss this opportunity, so he happily agreed to Yan Xinghe's invitation.

Ye Zan and his party returned to the inn. In the next few days, just as Ye Zan expected, the ancient city was full of voices talking about Jin Hongze. In particular, Ye Zan was very talented. He occupied an open space in each of the four directions of the ancient city and played the video continuously.

Those who have not seen the video, and those who have seen it and want to see it again, often fill the four open spaces. It can only be said that people in this world are really lacking in spiritual entertainment. Ye Zan even thought to himself that if he sold tickets, he might be able to make a lot of money.

However, it didn't take long for Ye Zan's idea to be put into action by others. Shortly after the Alchemy Conference ended, the method of refining the camera weapon was spread from unknown masters. There were actually people who shot some strange images and then sold tickets to play them or sell copies, becoming the founders of the world's film industry.

Back to the present, of course, there are some loyal fans of Jin Hongze who insist on not believing the content in the video, and they also intend to destroy the magic weapon used to play the video and arbitrarily drive away the crowd of onlookers. However, as the saying goes, one person is pink and the other is black. The behavior of these loyal fans makes people more convinced of the authenticity of the image.

I wonder if Jin Hongze would be so angry that he would vomit several liters of blood after knowing this situation. He smeared Liu Qian back then, but this time, it could be regarded as retribution, he finally tasted the feeling of being spurned by others. However, he is a master of alchemy after all, and he will definitely not be forced to have no place to stay like Liu Qian.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. The Alchemy Conference is coming to an end, and it is also the day that Yan Xinghe said that the master will perform his skills.

Ye Zan and his party arrived at the square in the center of the ancient city on time, and the square had already turned into a different scene. On the square, those alchemy furnaces have been removed, and a higher platform has been erected with six alchemy furnaces placed on it. It is obviously the place where the masters display their skills.

Ye Zan also met Yan Xinghe and the other four masters again. After greeting each other and chatting for a few more words, they climbed onto the high platform together, each facing an alchemy furnace.

"The title of this grandmaster's performance is!"

Following a sound, a large notice appeared on the outside of the wooden building, with some big words written on it, clearly stating the title of this time. The question seems very simple. Use the cheapest materials to refine the Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Pill, and then reduce the difficulty of refining it.

The Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Pill is a healing elixir for the soul. The difficulty of refining it is definitely up to the master level, and the elixir recipe is widely circulated. It is not a problem for any alchemy master to refine the nine-turn soul-returning elixir. Therefore, the real test lies in the previous requirements, using the cheapest materials.

What is the cheapest material? In fact, the prescription of each elixir is basically not unique, and some herbs can be replaced with other herbs. The test of this is the understanding of herbal medicines and whether they can replace precious herbal medicines with cheaper ones.

You know, this is easy to say, but not easy to do. Some cheap herbs do have the same ingredients as precious herbs, but they may also have other toxic ingredients, which requires the addition of herbs to detoxify. Based on this calculation, the final price may be better than just using the precious herbs.

Moreover, what is even more outrageous is that the question also requires reducing the difficulty of refining.

This nine-turn soul-returning elixir can be called a master-level elixir. When the elixir recipe is changed, the difficulty is often increased. But this question requires that not only the herbs used should be cheap, but also the difficulty of refining them should be reduced. This is simply something that everyone wants. How can there be such a good thing in the world.

Seeing this topic, even Yan Xinghe's face became bitter.

Ye Zan asked curiously from the side: "Brother Yan, could it be that you guys didn't decide on this topic?"

Yan Xinghe nodded and said with a helpless face: "Yes, this topic was actually decided by my Zong Jade Cauldron, and we didn't even know it beforehand. By the way, the prize this time is the One-Qi Hunyuan Gold The elixir comes from the hands of the Jade Cauldron."

"Haha, that's it. Then I'm relieved. I thought you would come up with the questions yourself." Ye Zan said jokingly.

"I do think so! But the golden elixir of the Jade Cauldron Master is so good." Yan Xinghe shook his head and said.

However, just as the grandmaster's performance was about to begin, someone in the audience shouted "Wait a minute." Then, a person walked through the crowd and came to the high platform. It was the person who was the focus of discussion these days, the alchemy master Jin Hongze.

Seeing Jin Hongze on stage, everyone in the audience was in an uproar. After all, after watching the image for so long, they saw it alive this time. Of course, no one dared to say anything outrageous in front of Jin Hongze. After all, this is also a master of alchemy, and a "famous" petty-minded ancestor of Yuanying. (To be continued.)
