Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

As General Du finished speaking, everyone on the stage withdrew their attention and concentrated on refining the Yi Xian Dan.

Zhou Yiqiao squeezed the seal with his fingers, and clusters of green flames emerged from his fingertips.

The flames burned brightly, emitting scorching heat.

Zhou Yiqiao moved very quickly, and after just a few breaths, he completed the process of warming the alchemy furnace.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yiqiao began to put in the elixir. Every time he put in the elixir, a part of his consciousness controlled the fire to melt it into spiritual liquid in different ways.

After completing the entire set of smooth and familiar operations, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Zhou Yiqiao's forehead, but there was no stagnation at all.

When the time for a stick of incense was over, Zhou Yiqiao finally managed to refine the twelve second-level spiritual herbs and put them into different jade bottles.

"Next are the five most important third-level spiritual plants."

Zhou Yiqiao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, fixed his gaze on the five third-level spiritual plants placed on the table, and murmured to himself.

The five third-order spiritual plants are distributed in a circular shape, with straight rhizomes and a metallic sheen on their surface.

"The five third-level spiritual plants that apply for the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are much more difficult to refine than ordinary third-level spiritual plants."

"And their age is much deeper than that of ordinary third-level spiritual plants."

"Perhaps the refining techniques need to be more radical..."

Zhou Yiqiao murmured to himself, moving quickly with his hands, pinching the seals and activating the fire.

Wisps of green flames shot up, and the beating flames continuously burned the Five Elements Gathering Furnace, raising the temperature of the alchemy furnace to the limit in an instant.

Then Zhou Yiqiao curled his fingers into claws and grabbed all the five third-order spiritual plants.

As soon as Lingzhi took possession of it, Zhou Yiqiao instantly noticed the majestic energy contained in it.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were slightly focused, his expression was serious, and he carefully put all five spiritual plants into the alchemy furnace.

"Zi la la"

A harsh and unpleasant sound came from the alchemy furnace.

Zhou Yiqiao's face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to control the five spiritual plants to melt into spiritual liquid at an even speed.

Five spiritual plants were refined at the same time, which put great pressure on Zhou Yiqiao.

"puff"

Suddenly, Zhou Yiqiao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body suddenly became depressed.

He quickly calmed down, separated a sliver of his already limited consciousness, and used it in two ways. He took out a healing elixir from the storage bag and swallowed it. Only then could he maintain his injuries and continue to immerse himself in the elixir furnace. .

Five third-level spiritual plants were smelted at the same time, and the energy burst out was far beyond imagination. It was extremely difficult for Zhou Yiqiao to stay awake and not fall into coma.

Not only Zhou Yiqiao, but also the other alchemists on the stage were in dire situations at the moment.

The alchemists who had sworn and were full of confidence began to vomit blood, looked depressed, and were severely injured.

If it weren't for the frequent attacks by the two generals on the stands, several people would have died for various reasons at this moment.

Several people who had previously claimed to have outstanding talents were now pale and dripping with cold sweat.

After some struggle, one alchemist finally couldn't bear the pressure and took the lead in withdrawing from the competition.

He consciously faced the crowd without saying anything, bowed to all the Jindan Masters, and then fled in despair using the flying magic weapon.

As the first alchemist withdrew, several alchemists soon raised their hands one after another and announced that they gave up.

They were injured and fled, and soon there were only about twenty contestants left on the ring.

"cough!"

Zhou Yiqiao coughed lightly, wiped away the scarlet blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, took a strong breath, and put the finally refined spiritual liquid into the jade bottle.

As soon as he relaxed, he felt exhausted, and his whole body collapsed on the ground as if he had lost all strength.

He forced himself to sit up, swallowed several pills, and then stared at the scene to recover from the injuries in his body.

After about half a stick of incense, Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the remaining twenty or so alchemists on the stage, he narrowed his eyes and continued with the next step of refining the Yi Xian Dan.

Although the final elixir condensation step is equally tricky, it is several times simpler than the most difficult third-level elixir liquefaction process.

Zhou Yiqiao relied on his powerful spiritual consciousness to carefully control the even mixing of all the spiritual liquid in the elixir furnace. After burning it with the furnace fire for half an hour, a Yixian Dan was finally refined.

Looking at the crystal clear Yixian Dan in his hand, a trace of surprise flashed across Zhou Yiqiao's eyes.

This Yixian Dan is about the size of an egg, its body is blue, and its rich medicinal fragrance is restrained and delicate, refreshing the heart and mind.

"The third-level elixir can be condensed to such an extent."

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes flashed brightly. At this moment, he finally had a preliminary idea of ​​the difficulty of refining third-level elixirs.

He recorded this experience in his heart, and recorded it in his handwriting when he had time. Then he put the Yixiandan into a jade bottle and flew towards the high platform where the Jindan Masters were.

At this time, on the high platform, several alchemists had already presented the elixirs they had refined, and were standing aside, panting and waiting for the results.

Zhou Yiqiao did not have any intention of winning the first prize, but at this moment he was the most relaxed among everyone.

As soon as he handed over the jade bottle containing the elixir of elixir to General Du, Qin Mu, who had been waiting aside for a long time, came forward, transmitted the message to Zhou Yiqiao, and whispered about the refining experience.

Although their identities were very different, they were both indulging in the art of alchemy at this moment, and it was already an hour before they knew it.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a melodious sound of bells sounded outside the ring.

This sound is very regular, like a piece of music, and like a drum beating in everyone's heart.

This has been a habit of frontline competitions for many years. Whenever a leader is elected, such a bell will ring.

Everyone in the square raised their heads and looked at the high platform.

General Du was seen flying into the air at this moment, his expression was serious and solemn, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

"The final list of this competition has been released, and I will announce the final result below!"

"There are twenty-one alchemists who have completed the refining of the Yixian Dan. Four of them are useless elixirs, so they are not counted. For the remaining seventeen people, I will give you the experience of the third-level alchemist as agreed upon. Rubbings.”

After General Du finished speaking, he waved his hand and threw seventeen jade slips.

Seventeen jade slips flew to the ring and fell into the arms of every alchemist, including Zhou Yiqiao, who had successfully refined the elixir of elixir.

Everyone happily put the jade slips into their storage bags, and then bowed to General Du to express their gratitude.

General Du looked at everyone's reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued.

"The following are the top ten that this general will announce for this competition!"
