From the third day onwards, every day there were strong men from many sects trying to recruit Tuobaye, but he ignored it.
He sent a strong man to stare at Chu Mingyuan, and Chu Mingyuan had no intention of joining any sect.
Both of them wanted to recruit powerful people. Since Tuobaye's identity was exposed, Chu Mingyuan has recruited more powerful people, but Tuobaye recruited more Nascent Soul Realm.
On the fifth day, the competition between Tuobaye and Chu Mingyuan became more obvious. Both of them lowered the conditions for alchemy, as long as they prepared four elixir, they could refine a batch of elixir.
Everyone wants to attract more powerful people to refine the elixir, so there is a way to attract more powerful people.
They are not on the same street, but they do the same thing by coincidence. Just from this alone, it can be seen that they have similar ideas.
More and more people are looking for Tuobaye and Chu Mingyuan to refine the elixir, and they have become the gospel for those strong casual practitioners.
You know, even those strong casual cultivators in the past would have to pay a high price even if they wanted to meet a third-rank alchemist.
What's more, the quality of the panacea refined by Tuobaye and Chu Mingyuan surpassed the panacea refined by the older generation of strong men.
Later, many powerful sects also sent people to find Tuobaye and Chu Mingyuan to refine the elixir.
On the fifth day, the number of strong men following Tuobaye increased again.
Tuobaye made such a big fuss in the Sword City, neither the Heavenly Sword Sect nor the Qingcheng Sect took any action, which made those strong casual cultivators less afraid.
Loose cultivators are fighting for their lives anytime, anywhere, and they often do so for a little cultivation resources.
Now as long as he followed Tuobaye, he didn't need to worry about the panacea. Even their relatives and friends can be honored, even if it is a little risky, they are willing to become followers of Tuobaye.
However, the existence of Chu Mingyuan made Tuobaye recruit a lot fewer strong men.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the alchemy competition, and the open and secret fight between Tuobaye and Chu Mingyuan finally came to an end.
The alchemy competition is the most important thing, both of them have to save their energy to prepare for the alchemy competition.
In ten days or so, Tuobaye recruited a total of thirty-six Nascent Soul Realm experts and two hundred and forty Nascent Soul Realm experts. The strongest one is a late Nascent Soul Realm expert named Yang Yunfei.
It was beyond Tuobaye's expectation to attract so many followers at once.
With so many strong men, any sect would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to deal with Tuobaye.
Tuobaye has also grasped the situation on Chu Mingyuan's side.
Chu Mingyuan recruited 21 Nascent Soul Realm experts and 380 Golden Core Realm experts. The number of experts far exceeded Tuobaye.
However, the strong men Tuobaye recruited were more determined and had more potential.
At least in the eyes of Tuobaye, it is absolutely so.
For those strong men who dare not seek refuge with Tuobaye because of Tiandaozong and Qingchengzong, he simply looked down upon them.
Tuobaye suddenly had so many strong men, he began to think.
Although there are many strong people, they are just a mess and don't know how to cooperate.
If they encounter an enemy, their joint combat effectiveness is not strong.
The alchemy competition has nothing to do with them, and Tuobaye is not worried about his own safety.
Therefore, Tuobaye wants to train the newly recruited strong men so that they can cooperate tacitly so that they can exert their maximum combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Tuobaye found several sets of powerful formations from the inheritance of the Shenwu Immortal Mansion. There were small formations with a few strong men, and large formations with hundreds of people.
He inscribed the formation on the jade slip and handed it to Yang Yunfei.
"Yang Yunfei, you will be responsible for managing my followers from now on. This jade slip contains formations, and everyone must master them proficiently. During the period of the alchemy competition, you will live in a large courtyard, and then train the formations." road."
"Yes! My lord." Yang Yunfei accepted the order.
"Fourth brother, why don't you leave a few Nascent Soul Realm experts behind? With them by your side, it will always be safer." Yuan Yangning said.
During this period of time, Yuan Yangning and Lei Ting have been learning the way of alchemy beside Tuobaye, and they have also refined many first-grade alchemy pills themselves. It can be said that they are now the top first-grade alchemists.
Of course, they followed Tuobaye, and also shouldered the task of persuading Tuobaye to rejoin the Danding faction.
But they just mentioned it casually, and Tuobaye didn't agree, so they never mentioned it again.
Tuobaye has already formed his own faction, it is impossible for him to rejoin the Danding faction.
He doesn't like to be restrained, and he doesn't want to compete with others for power.
If he joins the Danding faction, I am afraid that the Danding faction will have a big cleansing. Before putting it on, he still had some ideas, but now he has no ideas at all.
"They're just a piece of loose sand right now, and they're useless." Tuobaye shook his head and said, "Besides, tomorrow will be the alchemy competition. No one will make trouble at this time. The Heavenly Sword Sect will restrain the Qingcheng Sect."
Lei Ting said: "Xiao Ye, you must get good grades in this alchemy competition. I heard from my father that the rewards for this alchemy competition are very generous."
"What reward?" Tuobaye's eyes lit up.
After all, he was young and lacked in background, so when he heard the reward, he was immediately moved.
Lei Ting shook her head: "I don't know the specifics. The rewards for the first-rank elixir group are definitely different from those for the second-rank and third-rank elixir. The rewards for the third-rank elixir are the best."
Tuobaye is a third-rank alchemist, so he is still at a disadvantage.
Although there are no fourth-rank alchemy masters in Shenwu Continent, there are still many third-rank alchemists. Many of them have been third-rank alchemists for tens of hundreds of years. They have rich experience. Some of them have participated in the alchemy competition many times, and they still have an advantage.
However, Tuobaye didn't take them to heart, he already regarded Chu Mingyuan as his biggest opponent.
In the past ten days, the two have not met, but they have been competing.
Tuobaye didn't go all out, I believe Chu Mingyuan also saved a hand, it's not so easy to deal with.
Both Chu Mingyuan and Tuobaye's momentum has risen, but whoever can soar into the sky depends on who can finally win the alchemy competition.
Tomorrow there will be an alchemy competition, and the three of them will start to meditate and rest.
It was not yet bright, but the streets were already bustling with activity.
The alchemy competition attracted a lot of attention, and many experts who were not alchemists also came to join in the fun.
These powerhouses were obviously worried about not having a good position, so they rushed to the alchemy competition early in the morning.
"Big Brother, Sister Ting, we're leaving too." Tuobaye was very excited.
The three of them had a lot of fighting spirit and went out in high spirits.
The place of the alchemy competition is very open, enough to accommodate a million people.
When Tuobaye and the others arrived, there were already a sea of people, and it was extremely lively.
"This alchemy competition is the largest in history, and most of the alchemists have come." Yuan Yangning sighed.
"In order to deal with the strong outsiders, the nine major sects have given out some panacea as rewards, which is of course touching." Lei Ting said.
Tuobaye looked around, and soon saw the strong men of the Danding faction. This time, there were many people sent by the Danding faction, obviously wanting to get a good ranking.
When Mu Linyang saw Tuobaye and the others, his eyes were extremely cold.
During this time, Lei Ting had been with Tuobaye all the time, which made him extremely unhappy.
Seeing Lei Ting talking and laughing with Tuobaye made him even more uncomfortable.
Originally, he didn't take Tuobaye seriously, he had his pride.
But when he knew that Tuobaye was a third-grade alchemist, he immediately became extremely ashamed, and Tuobaye rose to become his strongest competitor.
A third-rank spirit alchemist was not comparable to a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and even with his status as a second-rank spirit alchemist, he couldn't compare with Tuobaye.
The situation reversed, and Mu Linyang could no longer sit still.
Tuobaye noticed Mu Linyang's gaze, but he didn't care.
His eyes swept across to Chu Mingyuan, and the two of them met each other, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
They compete with each other without being openly hostile, and their relationship is delicate.
"Brother, sister Ting, you go back to the sect, I will meet Chu Mingyuan." Tuobaye said.
"Fourth brother, be careful yourself." Yuan Yangning reminded.
Lei Ting was a little bit reluctant: "Xiao Ye, let us go with you?"
"No, Chu Mingyuan is not easy to deal with, you better not let him remember." Tuobaye said.
Yuan Yangning and Lei Ting left, and Tuobaye strode down Chu Mingyuan.
"Brother Chu, hello!" Tuobaye smiled, and he felt a little fake.
"Brother Tuoba, I really didn't expect that you are also a third-grade alchemist!" Chu Mingyuan was obviously a little surprised.
"That's right! Who would have thought that the two teenagers who came to Daocheng together were both third-rank alchemists. No one would believe it when they told it." Tuobaye sighed.
Many forces stared at Tuobaye and Chu Mingyuan. When those people saw that the two were chatting happily, they immediately felt bad, especially Tiandaozong and Qingchengzong.
If Chu Mingyuan and Tuobaye were allies, it would not be a good thing for other forces.
In just over ten days, the followers they recruited have caught up with some veteran third-rank elixir masters.
There is no way, what those casual cultivators value is their potential, they are all young, they are already third-rank alchemists, and it is entirely possible to become fourth-rank alchemy masters.
For those in the Nascent Soul Realm, third-rank spirit alchemists are not enough to provide them with much help, and fourth-rank alchemy masters are the ones they want to rely on.
Therefore, those who are strong in the Nascent Soul Realm are gambling, blocking everything they have, in order to have greater development.
"I heard that Brother Tuoba has recruited many powerful people. It seems that Brother Tuoba is going to do something." Chu Mingyuan was obviously testing Tuobaye.
Tuobaye said with a smile: "Brother Chu, I am different from you. I recruited the strong for self-protection. My enemies are the two major sects. If I don't recruit some strong people, I will not be able to fight against them at all."
"Brother Tuoba was joking, you are now a third-rank alchemist, I am afraid that the two sects will not dare to deal with you." Chu Mingyuan smiled.
The two chatted happily and were very involved.
Not long after, the alchemy competition began.
The Shenwu Continent attaches great importance to this alchemy competition. The referee is the Supreme Elder of the Nine Great Sects, and the host is actually Mo Tiandao, the suzerain of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
When Mo Tiandao appeared, everyone fell silent.
He said loudly: "I am here to announce the rules of the competition and the final rewards."
Then he said a lot, Tuobaye only remembered the last reward, and only the reward for the third-rank alchemist.
There are generous rewards for the top ten third-rank alchemists. The first place rewards three Poshen Pills and three Poying Pills, the second rewards two Poshen Pills and two Poying Pills, the third Poying Pill and One each of the Breaking God Pills. The fourth to sixth place will all be rewarded with a Poshen Pill, and the seventh to tenth will be rewarded with a Poying Pill.
