Douluo Continent arrives through the sky

One month is just a fleeting month for a cultivator. Today is the opening day of the alchemy competition.

The school road that used to be sparsely populated was now unusually overcrowded. Such a grand event attracted many students who focused on their cultivation out of the training room.

Yun Musheng looked around. Among the crowd, there were some who were uneasy, some who were proud, and some who had nothing to do with themselves. Everyone is in different shapes, all can be seen.

"Mu Sheng, don't be nervous! There are many people competing now, but let alone the fifth grade, there are very few who have reached the fourth grade!"

Seeing that Yun Musheng kept looking around, Guo Pan hurriedly spoke to divert her attention.

This kid is extremely talented, but facing such a big scene for the first time, it would be bad if he was too nervous and affected his performance.

"Yes. With your strength, it's easy to win the top ten spots."

Chi Chaolu reached out and patted Yun Musheng's shoulder gently, and comforted her with Guo Pan's eyes.

Don't underestimate this big comparison with the top ten. The competition between alchemists and weapon refiners usually ranges from first grade to fourth grade. When Chi Chaolu said these words, they showed their unparalleled trust in Yun Musheng. As a freshman, despite the age gap and experience gap across three major stages, she still believes that she can win the top ten, which shows how terrifying Yun Musheng's talent is.

"Senior, don't worry, I'm not nervous."

Yun Musheng smiled helplessly. Seeing that Guo Pan, Chi Chaolu and the others were more worried than herself, Yun Musheng laughed and felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

The group of people strode towards the venue and stood still in the venue. Yun Musheng looked around, but his eyes met Zheng Yunying who was sitting two adjacent places. After glancing at her lightly, Yun Musheng frowned, feeling a little bored. turned his head.

asshole! ! !

A condescending look! Are you trying to show off to someone! !

Yun Musheng's contemptuous eyes immediately made Zheng Yunying furious. What bothers her the most is Yun Musheng's pretentious manner! It is because of this hypocritical attitude that...

Only then did he win Lin Ziqi’s attention!

Bitch_people. After today, let’s see how proud you are of this kneeling.

This time I kneel down, I will definitely give you enough time to enjoy it!

As for Si Yu...heh.

See if he will still protect you after losing your halo!

Then you won’t have the face to hook up with two men at the same time.

Zheng Yunying lowered her head to suppress the viciousness at the corner of her mouth. She tried her best to suppress her wildly beating heartbeat. With a faint smile on her lips, she calmly waited for the competition to begin as if nothing had happened.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!"

Three powerful bells rang out, solemnly and solemnly, and the noisy venue fell silent for an instant.

"Everyone, be silent."

"I am Xiao Yu, an eighth-grade alchemist from the inner courtyard."

Xiao Yu paused for a moment, looked around majestically, and calmly gave everyone time to exclaim before continuing, "This alchemy competition will be hosted by me and will be judged by three sixth-grade alchemists."

Yun Musheng looked up at the strange old man standing on the high platform with a serious expression, and a trace of inquiry could not help but appear on his face.

This was the first time she had seen such a high-level alchemist besides Cen Yue. He had a beard, was lean, and had white beard and hair. He had a sense of purity and integrity, which fit Yun Musheng's image of an elder with an immortal air and a moral integrity, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

"The first level is refining - thick soil Qianye Zhizhi."

"The purity and volume of the refined Thousand-Earth Chiba Essence will be used as the evaluation criteria, and the time limit is half an hour."

Xiao Yu flicked his sleeves, and a huge hourglass hung over the venue. White sand grains rose one after another, and then began to fall thinly.

"boom!"

Nearly a hundred people raised the cauldron and lit the fire at the same time. Such a majestic momentum inevitably made people's hearts swell, especially for the freshmen competing for the first time.

Yun Musheng took a deep breath, suppressed her surging heart, and put her hand on the medicine cauldron in front of her. A red flame suddenly ignited in the cauldron.

"what……"

There was a burst of exclamation, and everyone around Yun Musheng looked at Yun Musheng with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

When the phoenix flame ignited, the flame in their cauldron suddenly tilted in the direction of Yun Musheng uncontrollably, as if it was a sacred worship.

There are thousands of fires in the world, and the phoenix is ​​the king. Fire also has spirit. As the ancestor of fire control, Phoenix Flame undoubtedly has the supreme status among all fires.

Yun Musheng was already immersed in the flames in front of her. Naturally, she would not care about anything unusual about the people around her, let alone who was around her.

Therefore, she also missed out on an old acquaintance who was "going to worship" her.

On the contrary, among the murmurs in the audience, Si Yu caught a glimpse of Zheng Yunying's livid complexion and couldn't help but frown.

After a while, the cauldron was already warm. Feeling the uniform high temperature in the medicine cauldron, Yun Musheng nodded slightly with satisfaction and recalled the characteristics of Thick-earth Qianye Zhi in her mind.

The thick-soiled plant is black all over, its handle is thick and short, its cover is as big as a plate, and its edges are curled. Due to the properties of the soil, the entire surface is extremely solid. However, on the back of the cap, there are extremely fine leaf-like folds, which is where the name Chiba comes from.

This herbal medicine Yun Musheng has not been refined before, but I also know that due to the hard shell, if you want to peel off the essence inside Ganoderma lucidum, you need to calcine it at extremely high temperatures for a long time. But now there is only half an hour. If it is hard to burn...

Even if it could be extracted, the purity might not be satisfactory.

Yun Musheng frowned and reached out to take the thick-soiled mushroom provided by the college on the countertop. Her long white fingers caressed it inch by inch, from the cap to the stipe to...

Ok?

Yun Musheng was startled by the sudden different touch. She quickly turned over the thick-soiled mushroom in her hand and gently pressed the folds on the back of the cap——

It turns out that the mystery is here.

A pair of beautiful eyes suddenly shined. After confirming, Yun Musheng put the medicinal materials in her hand into the cauldron without hesitation. The flames rushed up and immediately surrounded the thick soil Qianye Zhi.

Yun Musheng controlled the leaping flames and quickly filled the thousand-leaf folds on the back of the cap. Her mental power continued to receive feedback from the sea of ​​fire, and she really felt the difference between the front and back of the cap.

The folds behind this are the most fragile part of the whole plant. Because the structure is so brittle, it has to shrink into such a "thousand-leaf" shape. But the most fragile part is carefully protected by the curled cap, which makes the extraction of Qianye mushroom from thick soil very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The flames seemed to condense into drill bits, drilling through the tiny gaps on the edge of the cap, carving it away bit by bit from the fragile interior.

"Ka...Ka."

A slight crisp sound proved the effectiveness of this method and made Yun Musheng feel at ease.

As time passed, Yun Musheng could feel that the cracks on the fragile inner wall were constantly extending, like cracks on the dry surface, and soon reached the critical point!

"Crack."

Caramel-colored liquid flows out from the cap, clear in color, and slowly gathers into a small liquid ball.

Yun Musheng put aside the broken skin, and the black powder quickly sank to the bottom of the medicine cauldron and was discharged from the bottom mouth.

Like a frozen lake, when the first crack appears, it will break out of control. In the blazing flames, the caramel-colored liquid mass grew larger and larger, and the black solids became less and less, until finally, only the amber-like liquid ball was bathed in the flames.

The flames penetrated inch by inch, and the essence of Qianye Zhizhi became more and more concentrated. When the bell rang again, this small ball of liquid had shrunk by half from the size of a fist.

"Time's up. Everyone, cease fire!"

"Clang! Clang, clang!"

For a time, the sound of raising the cauldron was heard everywhere. Yun Musheng also tapped the medicine cauldron and put the hard-won essence into the jade bottle prepared in advance by the college.

The four judges entered the venue and began to look at the small jade bottles in each person's hands one by one.

"The color is mixed, the purity is extremely low, and it is unqualified."

"It's relatively pure. Although it's small in size, it's acceptable."

"Too small, difficult to use, substandard."

"It's not pure enough, but it's good in quantity. It's barely qualified."

……

One sentence after another, some people are happy and some are worried.

Yun Musheng glanced at the essences that were no more than half the size of her own, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this first level is no problem.

"Well... the purity is good, and the most important thing is that it is nearly half the size of a fist, which is good."

"Thank you, elders!"

She was secretly lost in thought when she suddenly felt a strong gaze directed at her. Yun Musheng raised her head in confusion and met Zheng Yunying's proud gaze.

Are you getting carried away? Speechless.

Just as Yun Musheng was about to give her a blank look in return, the four examiners had already passed Zheng Yunying and were about to walk in front of her.

She quickly returned to her serious look with lowered eyebrows and a submissive look, and quietly presented the jade bottle in her hand.

But how could Yun Musheng's hasty change of expression be hidden from Xiao Yu, an old fox? He moved his eyebrows slightly and without saying a word, he took the jade bottle from Yun Musheng's hand with great interest and uncorked it.

"Um?!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's surprise, the other three examiners hurriedly came over, looked down, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It's deep in color, but as transparent as amber! It's also big enough! It's the first place in this first level." ah!!"

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and smoothed his beard. He didn't respond and just stared at Yun Musheng. It was not until the hearts of the three examiners were in suspense that Xiao Yu saw that Yun Musheng's face was still calm, and then he smiled and praised her.

Yun Musheng took the jade bottle handed back by Xiao Yu and thanked her respectfully. It wasn't until Xiao Yu and the others were dozens of meters away from her, and she felt the gazes around her that were constantly shooting at her, especially the particularly hot and vicious eye blade among them, that she couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth in a small arc. .

Without looking, you can imagine Zheng Yunying's dark face at this moment!

Ha, Zheng Yunying, Zheng Yunying, I want to see what you can do to make such a bet with me?

"clang!"

"In the first level, the verification of the medicinal materials extracted by all contestants has been completed. Those who fail to pass the test are asked to leave quickly!"

"The second level is about to begin!"
