Chapter 322: Refining BeginsThe alchemy competition is in full swing. All contestants first break into the illusion space, break through the illusion, and then enter the alchemy world to snatch medicinal materials from the monsters. After completing these two items, they can stand in front of everyone and show their own alchemy skills!
Although there are only two items, the first level tests the strength of the soul, while the second one tests one's own strength.
According to past practice, these two items are enough to eliminate more than 90% of the contestants!
Every remaining contestant is at least a sixth-grade alchemist. Such alchemy skills will not be easily humiliated even if they are placed anywhere in Zhongzhou.
"Master Xuan, you are really good at finding trouble for me. You even want to give advice to the so-called champion of the Alchemy Competition? If the champion is a guy from the older generation, wouldn't it be wrong for me to give him advice..."
Just as the contestants passed the second level one after another, Xiao Yun left the study and came to the alchemy meeting.
When he first arrived and heard the conditions proposed by Xuan Kongzi, he was immediately surprised. This alchemy competition had been moved forward several years, and the so-called championship candidates could no longer develop according to the original time and space.
As for the young generation in the original time and space who were able to show off their talents, such as Xiao Yan, Cao Ying, etc., Xiao Yan didn't know, but Cao Ying seemed to be only at the intermediate seventh level now, and she was just lucky enough to refine a high-level seventh level, which was far from the elementary eighth level.
With such results, it would be a blessing from God to be able to enter the top ten of the Danhui, not to mention being a candidate for the championship!
Therefore, those who can win the championship are mostly the older generation of players who have been immersed in alchemy for many years.
"Hahaha, no matter how old or young he is, in the art of refining medicine, the most experienced ones come first. If you can refine a ninth-grade precious pill, even I and the others would like to learn a thing or two from you."
Xuan Kongzi laughed and waved his hands. He really enjoyed seeing Xiao Yun, who was usually calm, look embarrassed.
"In that case, I'm too lazy to care..." Xiao Yun shook his head helplessly. It was just one time of advice. It was up to him to decide how to give advice.
A group of people were talking on the platform. At a certain moment, Xiao Yun suddenly turned his head and looked towards the square. The space gate there finally twisted again and caused violent space fluctuations.
"The space gate is open. Looks like we can proceed to the last task now!"
Spatial fluctuations permeated the world, and the crowd around the square suddenly burst into thunderous cheers. Then countless blazing gazes shifted and stopped at the space gate.
One after another, figures flashed out and finally stopped on the square, standing casually. Facing the cheers around them, the alchemists had cold faces and looked extremely arrogant.
However, this appearance did not cause displeasure among the audience. After all, the fact that the former could appear here basically meant that he could be regarded as the best alchemist in the entire continent!
After this alchemy meeting, he will definitely be treated as a guest of honor by some forces. They won’t have enough time to curry favor with such a person!
Xiao Yun was standing on the high platform, also observing, but he was not searching for people he knew. Instead, he was checking those who were hiding their heads and showing their tails in case they were from the Soul Palace.
After some investigation, he didn't know whether the Soul Palace's hiding skills were too advanced or they simply didn't send any alchemists to participate, but he didn't see any of them, and Mu Gu from the original time and space was not here either.
"Xiao Yun, who are you looking for?" Seeing Xiao Yun's actions, Yao Lao beside him asked.
"I'm not looking for anyone..." Xiao Yun waved his hand and continued, "I just wanted to see if there were any people from the Soul Palace down there. I'm afraid they might come over and cause trouble."
Hearing this, Yao Lao showed a look of realization on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I spent a long time screening with Xuan Kongzi and others a few days ago!
Although we cannot guarantee that there are no Soul Palace people in Shengdan City, there are definitely no Soul Palace people in this Dan Association!"
"That's good. Those guys in the Soul Palace have many disgusting methods." Xiao Yun nodded. After investigating, he withdrew his gaze, sat on the high platform, closed his eyes and waited for the medicine refining to start.
Then, after everyone arrived and the space gate was closed, Xuan Kongzi walked out slowly again, and after some encouragement, he announced the start of the alchemy conference.
"The time has come, please raise the cauldron and refine the elixir!"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the square froze instantly, the noise suddenly stopped, and then, a large number of medicine cauldrons flashed out and finally fell heavily on the stone platform. The low sound of metal continued to echo throughout the world.
The shocking scene of thousands of tripods rising up also caused a low uproar among the onlookers around the square. However, in the more important stands, most people closed their eyes and rested without making any movement.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the longer it takes to refine. At the beginning of this alchemy conference, the highest grade of elixir that could be refined was only grade six.
For those below the Dou Zong level, it is extremely precious, but it is not good enough for those above that level. If one wants to let high-level alchemists such as Xiao Yun watch it, it must at least be able to trigger alchemy thunder!
……
Time passed by bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed since the Alchemy Conference and it was coming to an end.
During these days, Xiao Yun had opened his eyes and glanced at the contestants one by one, and witnessed the birth of countless elixirs.
I don’t know if it’s because the Soul Palace is hunting down alchemists, but even though this year’s Alchemy Conference was held several years earlier, and even though the younger generation like Cao Ying haven’t fully grown up, the quality is no worse than that of the original time and space!
The methods used by many contestants to refine pills also made Xiao Yun's eyes light up and he gained a lot of insights.
And as the number of people on the stone platform continued to decrease, Xiao Yun also saw a familiar figure, it was his cousin, Xiao Yan, Xiao Huohuo!
Today's Xiao Huohuo, because of him, although he did not become a disciple of Yao Lao and learn the Burning Technique, the resources he obtained were better than in the original time and space. His cultivation had reached a one-star Dou Zong, and his alchemy skills were above the seventh rank. He tried his best to refine a seventh-grade high-level pill and achieved a good result of tenth place.
As for the first place, it was taken by a gray-haired old man. Judging from his old face, he was obviously a strong man of the same generation as Yao Lao and others. The elixir he refined directly attracted four-colored elixir thunder, which overwhelmed all the old guys!
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that it was old man Qinghua who won the championship of this alchemy competition..."
On the high platform, Yao Lao looked at the old man holding the eighth-grade four-color elixir, and his face was also full of surprise. "This old guy, isn't his lifelong wish to find a kind of strange fire? The Three Thousand Flames have been subdued, and he can still pull his face down and come to participate in this alchemy meeting..."
Xuan Kongzi said helplessly that it was already a great honor for old man Qinghua, an old fellow of the same generation as them, to be able to attend the alchemy meeting. If he still wanted this giant as a substitute, then he would be losing all his face.
"Old man Qinghua wants to use the strange fire to break through to the eighth level. Strange fire is hard to find now. I'm afraid this old guy wants to take advantage of Xiaoyun's guidance to try again..."
Tian Lei Zi said slowly, it was obvious that the position of candidate for the Danta giant could not be given to anyone else, and the former could be promoted to an eighth-grade alchemy master, and would not lack soul skills, so only the guidance of a ninth-grade master could be valued by him.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Kongzi stepped forward to announce the result. When he gave the first two championship benefits to the old man Qinghua, the other party did not even look at him, but just stared at Xiao Yun on the podium.
The onlookers around the square also remembered it. Suddenly, the atmosphere in this world not only did not dissipate because of the end of the alchemy meeting, but became even more heated.
All the gazes, as if real, were cast towards the young man in green shirt on the high platform. He was the highlight of this alchemy meeting. If Xiao Yun could succeed today, he would be able to stand at the pinnacle of the alchemy world!
"Hahaha, Xiao Yun, the success or failure of the alliance depends on you!" Feeling the warm atmosphere around him, Yao Lao twisted his body and slapped Xiao Yun's shoulder heavily.
"Ninth-grade elixir, extraordinary. I'm afraid your Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron is not enough? Do you need my Black Magic?"
Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron is on the Heavenly Cauldron List, it is only at the bottom of the list. In terms of medicine refining effect, it is far inferior to the Black Demon Cauldron.
However, Xiao Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Yao, that's not necessary. This time, I plan to use the strange fire to make a cauldron!"
The special refining method of forming a cauldron with strange fire relies on extremely strong fire control ability and powerful soul power to form the strange fire into a medicine cauldron!
The medicine cauldron condensed in this way is not much worse than the medicine cauldrons at the top of the Tianding list! For the pharmacist himself, it is the medicine cauldron of the best quality!
However, this refining method is extremely difficult and requires a strange fire. Even an ordinary ninth-grade treasure pill master cannot do it.
When Yao Lao and the others heard this, their pupils shrank suddenly. Xiao Yun had never performed the method of forming a cauldron with strange fire in front of them, so they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry, my soul power has already reached the late heavenly realm. It's just a matter of forming a cauldron with the strange fire. It won't be a problem for me..." Xiao Yun said with a smile to comfort him.
On the other side, in the sky, Xuan Kongzi also pointed his finger at Xiao Yun and said loudly: "Everyone, today is not only the birth of the champion of the Alchemy Contest, but also the day when Elder Xiao of Danta will strive to become a ninth-grade alchemy master! Now, please invite Elder Xiao to come on stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no doubt that the entire square was boiling with excitement, and the heated atmosphere reached its climax. As for the most talented alchemist in Zhongzhou, everyone wanted to know whether the former could continue to create miracles.
"Then I'll go out..."
Seeing the excited people on the field, Xiao Yun slowly flew up, his feet landed on the void, causing ripples. It seemed slow, but each step could cover a distance of hundreds of feet. In just two or three steps, he had already climbed onto the stone platform.
"Hiss!" This move, which was similar to shrinking the earth into an inch, immediately caused a group of people to gasp. All the strong men above the level of Dou Zun knew that although Xiao Yun looked relaxed and comfortable, he actually had a super control over the power of space!
"Xiao Yun, it's up to you from now on! Many of the old guys in Xiao Dan Tower have come out to check.
If you succeed, you will definitely enter the Great Elders' Council, and the alliance will also be settled..."
Xuan Kongzi patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, and then flew down with old man Qinghua.
Xiao Yun was the only one left in the sky. He glanced around casually and said calmly, "I don't like noise when I'm refining medicine. Please watch quietly..."
The voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire square. For a moment, all the noise was suppressed, and only Xiao Yun's voice echoed throughout the world.
After suppressing everyone's voices, he waved his sleeves and a pitch-black fire dragon suddenly jumped out from his sleeves, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Even though thousands of fires had already risen, the appearance of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame still raised the temperature between heaven and earth again.
Immediately, a pitch-black fire dragon coiled above Xiao Yun's head, and in the midst of countless astonished gazes, it actually condensed into a giant cauldron of pitch-black flames!
The appearance of the giant flaming cauldron still caused an uproar in the square, even though Xiao Yun had given previous instructions.
Countless alchemists, even old man Qinghua who had previously won the Alchemy Competition Championship, had a flash of horror in his eyes.
"Old Yao, how did your disciple practice? Even you haven't mastered the art of condensing the strange fire into a cauldron, right?!"
On the high platform, Elder Qinghua said to Elder Yao that they had known each other for a long time. When they were young, they had gone together to the Fallen Icefield to recover the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Of course, it was Yao Lao who obtained it in the end, which left an obsession in the former's heart.
"It is true that I have never mastered it, but Xiaoyun is extremely talented in alchemy. Even if I don't teach him, he can master it and learn it on his own..."
Yao Lao laughed, but the boasting in his words made Old Man Qinghua envious and jealous.
He had been fighting with Yao Chen all his life. When he was young, he lost the Bone Spirit Cold Fire due to a single mistake, which led to his backwardness in alchemy.
Now, when it comes to disciples, the gap is even greater. A monster like Xiao Yun cannot be taught, but the fact that Yao Lao was able to discover him in advance also proves that he has a unique vision!
While the two were arguing, Xiao Yun in the sky also started to refine medicine.
