"Okay, in that case, let's get started. Elder Ye, you are only a blue-grade top-grade alchemist, and I am a purple-grade mid-grade alchemist. There is a big gap between you and me, and I won't bully the weak. How about we compete in the speed of refining blue-grade top-grade pills and the final quality?" Tang Zhichun took a deep breath and then stated his way of competing.
Ye Liuyun rolled his big eyes and then nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I have no objection. If there is no problem, let's start." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Tang Zhichun looked like a little girl. He felt a little bored. He, a purple-level alchemist, had to compete with a blue-level top-grade alchemist. This was too embarrassing. Was this competition necessary?
But there was no other way. He certainly couldn't say something unpleasant here to mock the Supreme Induction Sect, so he could only defeat Ye Liuyun first and then challenge others.
"Okay then, let's get started. We will refine top-grade elixirs. There is no limit to the types of elixirs. After refining, we will let the seniors who understand elixirs here to judge them." Tang Zhichun suggested.
Ye Liuyun nodded.
After seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Elder Tianjian immediately announced it.
"Since the two of you have already agreed on the method of fighting, let's begin."
As soon as Elder Tianjian finished speaking, Tang Zhichun waved his hand, and a medicine furnace filled with golden light flew out from his storage magic weapon and landed in front of him.
This medicine furnace is a lower-grade earth-level magic weapon, which is very generous.
When Ye Liuyun saw the other party take out the medicine furnace, she originally planned to take out her own Wanyao Xiandi. However, when she thought of her Wanyao Xiandi, which many people had seen, she felt embarrassed for a moment because she did not have any other medicine furnaces or medicine cauldrons.
Then a funny scene occurred.
"Senior Sister Tairong, I forgot to bring my alchemy tools. Can anyone lend me a medicine furnace or a medicine cauldron?" Ye Liuyun shouted to Tairong without any shame.
As soon as these words came out, Tang Zhichun almost vomited blood and was so angry that Ye Liuyun almost vomited blood.
An alchemist doesn’t have any tools for making medicine. Is he still an alchemist?
Everyone at Yaofeng felt extremely embarrassed for a moment, but since Ye Liuyun had spoken, someone must contribute their alchemy tools.
After hearing this, Nalan Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing. She thought Ye Liuyun did it on purpose, so she waved her hand and handed her alchemy furnace to Ye Liuyun.
"Elder Ye, use mine."
Nalan Yan's alchemy furnace is made of blue colored glaze. It is very exquisite and is also a lower-grade earth-level magic weapon.
However, she can only use this thing as an alchemy furnace and it cannot exert the power of a medicine furnace.
Ye Liuyun took the medicine furnace casually.
"Haha, thank you." Ye Liuyun thanked him and then placed the medicine furnace in front of himself.
As for Tang Zhichun, he felt even more disappointed when he saw Ye Liuyun being so casual.
"Everyone, the elixir I want to refine is a blue-grade top-grade elixir called the Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill. Fellow Taoists who understand elixirs must know the value of this elixir, so I won't introduce it." Tang Zhichun said loudly.
Even if most cultivators do not know how to refine medicine, they still know the effects of various common grades of elixirs.
This Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill is one of the best blue-grade elixirs and has a very good healing effect.
After Tang Zhichun finished speaking, he took out the medicinal materials for refining the Tianwang Heart Protecting Pill and prepared to start refining the medicine.
Ye Liuyun naturally also needed to explain what kind of elixir she wanted to refine, but she was in trouble again because she did not have the medicinal materials for the elixir she planned to refine, or she could not get the medicinal materials to refine the top-grade elixir.
"Oh my god, all the conventional medicinal materials in recent years have been invested in the cloud. Plus, I don't seldom refine conventional pills, so I don't have any suitable medicinal materials on me." Ye Liuyun was embarrassed again.
As Ye Liuyun's master, Lin Qingyou felt for a moment that Ye Liuyun was going to lose all her face.
"You, you little girl, are so used to refining medicine randomly that you don't even prepare any regular medicinal materials. It's really embarrassing." Lin Qingyou complained.
Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly, and then she suddenly shouted to Tang Zhichun opposite her.
"Fellow Daoist Tang, can you lend me some medicinal ingredients for the Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill? I want to refine the same pill as you." Ye Liuyun shouted shamelessly.
Tang Zhichun, who was just about to release flames into the alchemy furnace, started to tremble and his heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He was almost choked by Ye Liuyun.
After hearing this, the people from the Supreme Induction Sect all felt ashamed to watch the game.
"Are you kidding me? Is she an alchemist? She didn't even bring a medicine furnace, and she doesn't have any herbs. I suspect she got her identity as an alchemist through the back door." The disciples of the Supreme Induction Sect couldn't help but complain.
As for those cultivators from other regions of the Jiuxiao Realm, they laughed without any scruples.
"This Elder Ye is really a peculiar creature. I haven't seen such a peculiar alchemist in a long time."
Ye Liuyun listened to the laughter of the people around her with an indifferent look on her face. She pretended not to hear it and stared at Tang Zhichun with a smile.
Tang Zhichun sighed heavily again, then waved his hand and threw a portion of medicinal materials for refining the Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill to Ye Liuyun.
"Take it. This is for you. Fellow Daoist Ye, please take the competition seriously and don't disturb me while I'm refining medicine." Tang Zhichun said angrily and helplessly.
After saying that, he was too lazy to look at Ye Liuyun, but forced a ball of light golden flame out of his body. This was actually a kind of beast fire, not an ordinary flame.
After Ye Liuyun got the herbs, she just glanced at Tang Zhichun and then raised her hand to release her true fire. She definitely couldn't use the Wanyao Immortal Fire here.
"White transparent flame, what kind of flame is this?" Everyone was quite curious after seeing the flame released by Ye Liuyun.
There were many alchemists present, but no one could recognize Ye Liuyun's true fire.
Tang Zhichun just took a glance and then concentrated on making medicine.
As for Ye Liuyun, after the fire started, she did something that seemed shocking to other alchemists, because she grabbed all the medicinal materials needed to make the Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill and threw them all into the medicine furnace.
"Puff! This, is this refining medicine? This is stewing soup, right?" Yao Feng's disciple was the first to lose patience.
They thought that Ye Liuyun might have come in through the back door, because in their understanding, medicinal herbs had to be decomposed one by one, and there was no way to throw all the herbs into the medicine furnace together.
But Tai Rong showed an expression of surprise at this scene, and she couldn't help but look at Nalan Yan.
Because when Nalan Yan first started learning medicine, he also used this strange method of refining medicine. The key point was that Nalan Yan succeeded in refining it in the end, so she took a fancy to him and finally became her little apprentice.
However, those who suspected Ye Liuyun soon shut up because the medicinal herbs of Ye Liuyun did not behave as they imagined.
They originally thought that these medicinal herbs must have been burned directly, but the result was shocking.
"Eh? How strange! There is no damage at all. The essences of several herbs are being extracted at the same time? This alchemy technique looks familiar to me." Yao Feng's disciple frowned.
After they thought for a moment, they all turned their eyes to Nalan Yan.
"Junior Sister Xuan Yan, why is Uncle Ye's method of refining medicine so similar to yours?" Xuan Chen couldn't help but ask.
Nalan Yan was embarrassed for a moment when she heard this.
"Yes, and you seem to have a special relationship with Uncle Ye. I heard that you and Junior Sister Xuanmiao were from the same sect." Xuan He also spoke.
Nalan Yan didn't know how to answer, so she could only speak stiffly.
"Sorry, this is my secret and I can't tell you."
This sentence stunned everyone. They felt that Ye Liuyun still had some secrets that they didn't know about.
"What a strange alchemy technique. He can extract several medicinal materials at once. I underestimated him." After seeing Ye Liuyun's alchemy method, Tang Zhichun immediately became alert.
He didn't know how to refine medicine the way Ye Liuyun did, so he had to speed up the process of refining the medicinal materials, otherwise he would definitely not be able to surpass Ye Liuyun in speed.
As a purple-level mid-grade alchemist, it would be embarrassing if he was not as fast as a blue-level alchemist even if he won in the end.
Just after he had worked hard to refine the first medicinal herb, Ye Liuyun had already refined several medicinal herbs. After refining the medicinal herbs, the next step was to inject pill powder to fuse the pills.
Time passed by minute by minute. After seeing Ye Liuyun's speed in refining medicine, the cultivators around no longer dared to say that Ye Liuyun was a layman.
Because Ye Liuyun has already started to fuse the pill, and only five minutes have passed. At this speed, unless there are any accidents, he should be able to finish refining the pill within ten minutes.
"It's so fast! How could it be so fast? Elder Ye from Yaofeng seems to have a low level of cultivation, but his alchemy skills are truly amazing. We were blinded just now." Those big guys couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Ye Liuyun just smiled and waved his hand, and a golden round pill rolled out from the medicine furnace and was caught in his hand.
"Done." Ye Liuyun smiled proudly.
Although she seldom refined conventional pills and had never practiced the Heavenly King Heart Protecting Pill, she was able to refine this one with ease, and it didn't feel like it was her first time at all.
"What, ten minutes? Oh my God, this blue-grade top-grade elixir was successfully refined in just ten minutes? This Elder Ye's alchemy skills are quite advanced. Is he sure he is just a blue-grade top-grade alchemist? He can't be kidding?" Everyone was confused.
Tang Zhichun on the opposite side had just finished refining the last batch of medicinal herbs.
"How could it be so fast? He finished refining a blue-grade top-grade elixir in just ten minutes. Is he really just a blue-grade top-grade alchemist? Could it be that Yao Feng is fooling me?" Tang Zhichun began to doubt Ye Liuyun's true alchemy level.
But now she was definitely losing in terms of speed, so she could only bet on the quality of the pill. However, when her spiritual sense swept over the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand, Tang Zhichun's eyes bulged, and the power to control the fire in her body instantly gave way.
As a result of this burst of breath, the fire suddenly became stronger, and the medicinal materials that had just been fused together in his medicine furnace exploded instantly, which meant that he failed in refining the medicine.
When the people from Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect saw that Tang Zhichun had failed in refining the elixir, they felt extremely ashamed for a moment. Even the elders from their Lingdan Sect felt a little too embarrassed to face anyone.
"Impossible, pill pattern?" Tang Zhichun didn't care about refining medicine at all. He came to Ye Liuyun at a very fast speed to admire the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand.
Tang Zhichun got angry when he saw the elixir pattern in Ye Liuyun's hand.
He was originally slower than Ye Liuyun, and after seeing the quality of Ye Liuyun's pills, he became even less confident.
Ye Liuyun was startled when Tang Zhichun suddenly ran to his side.
"Eh? Brother Tang, you don't want to make medicine anymore?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.
At this moment, Tang Zhichun's eyes were only focused on the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand, and there seemed to be nothing else.
"Such a strong pill light, and such beautiful pill patterns, my God, what else can it compare to? Fellow Daoist Ye, can you let me take a good look at your pill?" Tang Zhichun asked with his eyes wide open.
Ye Liuyun must have understood Tang Zhichun’s mentality at the moment, so he handed the pill to Tang Zhichun generously.
After Tang Zhichun took the pill, he looked left and right.
"Haha, it's so beautiful, this is a real elixir. Compared with this elixir, the elixir I refine is just shit. Wow, it's so beautiful, I lose, I lose." Tang Zhichun said loudly while holding the elixir.
When he admitted defeat, the alchemists around him, especially those above blue level, dropped from the sky with shocked expressions and came to Tang Zhichun.
"It's really a pill pattern. It's a blessing from the Eternal Heavenly Venerable. I thought I was blind. Young friend Tang, please let me see this pill." An old man in the mysterious realm of transformation looked at the pill in Tang Zhichun's hand and said excitedly.
Tang Zhichun had seen enough, so naturally he let the other alchemists have a look as well.
In this way, Ye Liuyun's pills were passed back and forth in the hands of a group of purple-level and yellow-level alchemists.
"It's so beautiful. Not to mention the pill patterns, just looking at the luster of this pill, I'm afraid I won't be able to refine it in my lifetime." A yellow-level alchemist exclaimed.
The people at Yaofeng were also shocked. Tairong and Taifu didn't know how to express their excitement and shock for a moment.
They can also refine elixir patterns, but being able to refine elixir patterns on white-grade elixirs is already their limit.
The laymen looked confused.
"What's wrong with this group of alchemists? It's just a blue-grade pill, why do they get so excited?" The monk from the Five Poison Sect was puzzled.
But immediately an alchemist from the Five Poison Sect started to curse this guy.
"You are blind and ignorant. What do you know? This is a Danwen. Damn it. If I were not a cultivator from another realm, I would also go over to see it."
After cursing, he explained to everyone what Danwen was. Many people didn't understand, but if they compared it with Qiwen, then those who didn't understand would understand.
Chapter 529: Poison Refining Competition (5000 words + 4300 monthly tickets)
By comparing the pill patterns and the instrument patterns, it is indeed easy to illustrate a person's level of alchemy.
However, there are still significant differences between the two, as there are two ways to create vessel patterns.
The first type relies on the refiner's superb refining skills to give magic weapons patterns. There are probably only a handful of refiners with such abilities on the Shenzhou continent.
The second way is to rely on continuous nourishment with rare treasures from heaven and earth to improve its quality, thus naturally producing patterns.
However, this method consumes a lot of financial resources. Except for some major religions and sects, other forces do not have such financial resources.
This shows how precious the alchemist's elixir patterns are. Also, most elixirs that can produce elixir patterns are unlikely to be released into the market, mainly because high-grade elixirs with elixir patterns are too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
From the three three-patterned elixirs auctioned at Wanbao Tower last time, we can tell how precious and rare elixirs with elixir patterns are.
A three-patterned pill purchased by Yaofeng is currently enshrined in the hall of successive peak masters of Yaofeng and is admired by the sect's disciples.
However, elixirs of too low a grade, even if they have elixirs patterns, do not have much practical value, because they cannot be mass-produced, and one or two are meaningless.
Anyway, there are at least many purple-level and yellow-level alchemists present, and they cannot refine blue-level pills with danwen.
After observing for a while, these alchemists suddenly remembered that they seemed to care too much about the pill and ignored the owner of the pill, so a group of alchemists surrounded Ye Liuyun's position again.
"Haha, my friend, I wonder which master you learned from? Seeing how calm you look, I wonder if you can often refine pills with pill patterns, right?" The yellow-level alchemist came to Ye Liuyun and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Elder Ye has such a high level of alchemy skills at such a young age, which makes us ashamed."
Everyone was talking one after another, almost praising Ye Liuyun to the sky.
It was also the first time that Ye Liuyun was surrounded by so many people, and they were a group of old men, all of whom said that they wanted to exchange alchemy techniques with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was quite troubled. He had not expected that a mere elixir pattern could cause so many senior alchemists to praise her.
If she could refine a regular elixir with nine elixir patterns, wouldn't they regard Ye Liuyun as the reincarnation of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable?
