Rivals don't play cards according to routine

Every year before recruiting new disciples, Beimingzong conducts a sect competition as a yearly assessment for the disciples.Let's see which disciples who have made rapid progress can stand out, and which disciples have stagnated.The assessment is the same every year, and there are only a few people who stand out, which makes the disciples not enjoyable enough to watch.

However, this year's competition is somewhat different. One is the competition between Xiao Junyue and the elder disciples of Liuyan Pavilion, and the other is the young master of Qingxuanzong who came to visit suddenly a few days ago, wanting to see the grand occasion of Beimingzong.

Regarding Qingxuanzong's sudden visit, the disciples who didn't know the truth were puzzled.There are big competitions from Beimingzong every year, and there was no Qingxuanzong in previous years. This year, the young suzerain came in person, which is really intriguing.But in the eyes of those who knew about it, Zhao Tingxuan was unwilling and the visitor was not kind.

Han Lin knew about the grievances but pretended not to know anything. He warmly received Zhao Tingxuan and the accompanying elders, and deliberately arranged for Ye Hanqi to be in charge of their affairs in the sect for the past few days.

Yu Fei and the others didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Han Lin's gourd, so they were a little worried that Zhao Tingxuan would make trouble with Sanchihan.Fortunately, Zhao Tingxuan and the others looked like guests, and everything was well-behaved, so Yu Fei and the others couldn't find fault.

On the day of the Zongmen Grand Competition, Xiao Junyue, who had been living in chasing clouds for more than two months to practice alchemy in secluded retreat, saw this legendary domineering young lord.If it wasn't for the resentment in Xiao Junyue's heart because of the Sanchihan matter, he could readily admit that Zhao Tingxuan looks like a human being.Even at first glance, he doesn't look like a domineering person, but a humble and polite young man.

"How is Junior Brother Xiao preparing?"

In the Zongmen Grand Competition, the disciples of Qinmintang are busy setting up the stage.Yu Fei was as busy as Zhou Wei, Ye Hanqi was also entangled, and Xiao Junyue stood alone in the meeting place, looking like he had nothing to do.

Hearing someone ask, Xiao Junyue raised his head and saw a disciple pushing Rong He over.It's midsummer now, Rong He has changed into lighter clothes, his face is as white as jade, shining in the sun.

Xiao Junyue was surprised that he would come to participate in the big competition, stepped forward and said: "Thanks to what Brother Rong said, I was enlightened, and I have a little understanding after two months of retreat."

"You are talented and intelligent, I just want to say a few words." Rong He didn't take the credit for himself, he waved back the disciple who pushed the chair for him and said: "Everyone came to watch the game, I was bored in the yard alone, Brother Xiao, don't you mind pushing the chair for me?"

"Where Senior Brother Rong is, just tell me where you want to go." Xiao Junyue could see that Rong He deliberately avoided that disciple, and he walked behind Rong He and pushed him away without hesitation.

The two walked through the lively crowd and found a shady place to rest.A month ago, Rong He remodeled Sanchihan and returned it to Xiao Junyue. Seeing that the remodeled Sanchihan was no different from an ordinary stove, and even its rank was hidden, Xiao Junyue admired Ronghe's refining from the bottom of his heart. organ surgery.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the big competition started, and it was not conspicuous for the two of them to stand here to rest.Although Rong He is a craftsman, he also has a lot of experience in alchemy, and Xiao Junyue chatted with him very well.The more we talked, the more surprised Xiao Jun became to Rong He, and the more curious he was about his origin.

The pleasant chat between the two didn't last long, and Xiao Junyue was called away by Li Que who had found him. Before the competition, their new disciple still had some things to prepare.Xiao Junyue felt sorry for his departure, and said that he wanted to send Rong He to the Zhaixing Pavilion, but Rong He refused.

"I'm right here. The view here is good, and I can see the scene on the stage." Rong He said with a smile: "And I'm not here to participate in the big competition, I'm here to see you refining alchemy."

Dabi is not mandatory, disciples can choose to participate or not.Rong He didn't have the intention to fight, so naturally he wouldn't go.Knowing his real purpose of going out, Xiao Junyue felt a little embarrassed.He smiled and told Rong He to be careful before going to Qian Jun.

Li Que walked behind Xiao Junyue, he turned around and looked at Rong He, feeling a little puzzled.Rong He didn't mind his unfriendly eyes, and nodded with a smile.

The place Xiao Junyue found was very good. Behind Rong He was a tall tree like a canopy, which covered all the sunlight and cast a green shade.When the sun slanted, it would only fall on Rong He's feet, dispelling the cold air for him.

The bell on the top of the mountain rang, and Han Lin came to the stage to announce the start of the Zongmen Grand Competition.

The alchemy venue of Liuyan Pavilion is in the north, and the refining venue of Star Picking Pavilion is in the south. The two are separated by a light curtain so that neither will interfere.The alchemy tables on the competition stage are arranged from the inside to the outside, like countless rings.

The rules of the competition are very simple, that is, to refine the medicinal materials on the table into elixirs. The medicinal materials on each table are the same, but the elixirs that can be refined from these medicines are not the same.From one to four products.

As soon as Xiao Junyue entered the arena, he noticed several malicious eyes cast over him. He pretended not to see them, and picked a table on the edge without looking sideways and sat down.Li Que entered the arena together with him, seeing him sitting on the side, she simply came over and sat beside him.

Today's Li Que has been groomed, not with messy hair, but with neat clothes, showing the face that surprised Xiao Junyue so generously, making those disciples who have never seen it shout loudly, "When will Liuyan Pavilion come?" Such a beauty.Xiao Junyue deeply sympathized with those who were deceived.

Li Que didn't have to participate in this competition.But when Xiao Junyue made a bet with the elder last time, he was also dragged in, so he had no choice but to accompany him.

Taking a rough look at the medicinal materials on the table, Xiao Junyue roughly knew that he needed to practice those pills.

The most basic ones are first-grade foundation building pills, second-grade bigu pills, third-grade Hunyuan pills, and fourth-grade Tianhui pills.I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Xiao Junyue knew how to refine the first two pills. As for the third grade Hunyuan pill and the fourth grade Tianhui pill, it was obvious that they were not prepared for new disciples like Xiao Junyue.

He is still groping at the stage of an intermediate alchemist, and has not touched the barrier of a senior alchemist, let alone a master alchemist.But turning his head to look at Li Que who was picking and choosing the medicinal materials, Xiao Junyue was very curious if he could refine the fourth-grade Tianhui Pill.

The competition time is one hour, except for the latter two which are not sure, Xiao Junyue has enough time to refine the first two.

"Start a fire!"

When the seats on the stage are filled, the elders in charge announce the start of the game.The arena does not provide alchemy furnaces, Xiao Junyue hesitated between Sanchihan and ordinary alchemy furnaces, glanced provocatively at Zhao Tingxuan's place, and took out Sanchihan.

Rong He's technique was peculiar, even Qian Jun and Zhuo Hua did not recognize San Chi Han's identity, which gave Xiao Junyue the confidence to provoke.

Zhao Tingxuan didn't notice Xiao Junyue's provocation, but Ye Hanqi didn't miss it.He picked up his teacup to drink tea, using the cup to cover up the faint smile on his lips.

The process of refining medicine is not boring, because some disciples will show off their alchemy skills, and the flames jumping and flying on their fingertips are like dragons, agile and beautiful.Xiao Junyue's alchemy skills are dazzling, his fireworks are different from others, they have a golden color.

Plants of medicinal materials melted in the flames, or turned into medicinal liquid, or turned into medicinal powder.Xiao Junyue manipulated the flame and turned it into various forms, giving people a visual enjoyment when refining.

"Hmph, it's a mystery."

Someone gave a cold snort of disdain, Xiao Junyue looked at the other party contemptuously, and dumped all the medicinal materials that had been refined before into the stove.The fire rushed up and turned into a swaying lotus with twin stalks. There are no lotus seeds on the lotus root, only a few small holes, which are filled with different medicinal materials.

After all the medicinal materials were wrapped, the petals of Bingdilian slowly closed and all sank into the pill furnace, blocking everyone's sight.Xiao Junyue also concentrated his attention and began to melt pills.

From refining the medicinal materials to melting the alchemy, Xiao Junyue took two sticks of incense. This speed is considered slow for many people, but his splendid alchemy skills still make many people pleasing to the eye.

Compared with Xiao Junyue's flamboyance, Li Que on the side is much more stable.He has always been in the alchemy furnace, and rarely shows his real alchemy skills.Now on the stage, with his hand touching the furnace, he seemed to be a different person, with a focused and serious expression.

The process of melting alchemy is a test for alchemists, but it is a bit boring for outsiders. During the time of melting alchemy, the elders below are whispering, talking about who will be the number one of the new disciples and who will be the old one. No.1 among disciples.

Zhao Tingxuan couldn't sit still anymore, he came to Beimingzong to find Sanchihan on the one hand, and to make Beimingzong unhappy on the other hand.But Han Lin, the old fox, pushed Ye Hanqi out. No one knew that Ye Hanqi was an ice gourd, and he didn't say a few words for a year, which made Zhao Tingxuan feel powerless as if his fist was hitting cotton.

But he couldn't get angry yet. Ye Hanqi's status was no worse than that of an elder. As a guest, he didn't dare to provoke him for no reason.

Sitting on the high platform for a long time, Zhao Tingxuan's feet were numb, he moved slightly, causing Ye Hanqi beside him to turn his head to look.

Zhao Tingxuan froze his stretching movement, retracted his hands and said, "Junior Brother Ye, are all the competitions of alchemists in your sect so casual?"

"Why not be casual." Ye Hanqi replied indifferently.

"Heh, I just think it can't be counted more than just refining medicine." Zhao Tingxuan said casually.

Ye Hanqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, it's better to see clearly. There are four kinds of medicinal materials given on the stage. The students are first tested to identify the medicinal materials, memorize the pill recipes, and identify the pills. The last is the alchemy."

From the beginning, Zhao Tingxuan's mind was not on the competition, but was thinking about how to find fault with Ye Hanqi. At this moment, Ye Hanqi turned against the general, and his face was a little ugly.Just as he was about to find a topic to remedy, Ye Hanqi turned his head away and ignored him.Zhao Tingxuan was so angry that his heart stopped, and his eyes became sinister.

The fourth incense stick on the stage was burned out, and the competition was over. All the disciples had to line up in two rows according to the length of time they had entered the sect, and put the pills in the magic weapon in front of Elder Sun to evaluate their quality.The disciples stood up one after another, Xiao Junyue stretched his waist, and felt a little surprised to see that Li Que hadn't become a pill before getting up.

The disciple who walked in front had already started to appraise the elixir, Li Que's motionless position attracted many people's attention, everyone whispered to each other, even Xiao Junyue sweated him.

It is taboo to be disturbed when refining alchemy, Elder Sun did not dare to act rashly, so he had to ask Han Lin for instructions.

"It's okay, give him more time." Han Lin waved his hand, he had heard about Li Que's deeds in the sect.Because of Xiao Junyue's incident and Zhuohua's quarrel before, Han Lin simply saved face and didn't care about it.

With the suzerain's golden words, it's hard for others to say anything.

This time, several elders of Liuyan Pavilion sent five disciples to participate in the competition, three new disciples competed with Xiao Junyue, and two older disciples competed with Li Que.They were all at the front, two of the three new disciples successfully refined the first-grade foundation building pill, and one was lucky enough to refine the second-grade Bigu pill, but the quality was slightly inferior to normal pills.One of the other two older ones refined a third-grade Hunyuan Pill, and the other refined a fourth-grade Tianhui Pill.

For the five of them at their age, they are proud to have achieved such an achievement. Even the elders laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth.In their view, Xiao Junyue's strength is only at the first-rank stage, and Li Que is at most fourth-rank.

Seeing Xiao Junyue coming over with a small bottle containing pills, several people winked and sneered, "Junior Brother Xiao, don't be discouraged."

Xiao Junyue sneered, with their grades, how dare they show off in front of him?Xiao Junyue ignored the ridicule of several people and handed the bottle to Elder Sun.

Elder Sun took it and shook it lightly, feeling that the sound was not quite right, he stood up the bottle and poured out the elixir inside, his face was shocked.

"You refined the Foundation Establishment Pill and Bigu Pill within an hour?"

"Can't you?" Xiao Junyue asked back, the competition only talked about refining medicine, and there was no limit on how much you could practice.After his fire root mutated, the time to refine the medicinal materials was doubled, so he simply refined both kinds of elixirs.

Elder Sun's face twitched, there is no rule saying no, it's just that the speed of refining medicine is too fast, which is unheard of.

The faces of the disciples who laughed at Xiao Junyue just now changed drastically, and one of them trembled and said indiscriminately: "He cheated."

The disciple's voice was too sharp, which made Xiao Junyue frowned in disgust. He was about to refute, when Elder Sun shouted angrily: "Are you blind as an old man? You can't even see such a small trick."

Elder Sun was the one who patrolled the stage during the exams. What this disciple said undoubtedly meant that the elder didn't see it, and it was a shame for the elder.After being reprimanded by Elder Sun, he realized that he had said something wrong, and shrank back behind his senior brother with a flushed face, not daring to say another word.And the senior brother who was pushed out by him had a very ugly face, and forced a smile to apologize to Elder Sun.

Elder Sun snorted coldly, he didn't care about it, but put Xiao Junyue's elixir into the magic weapon for testing.

"Second Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Second Grade Bigu Pill."

If Xiao Junyue concocted two types of elixir in one hour, it would be surprising, then it would be terrifying if he concocted a second-grade foundation-building elixir.Everyone knows that the grade of Zhuji Dan is only the first grade, so when most alchemy apprentices become pharmacists, they will choose Zhuji Dan to try their hands.But now, there is a person telling everyone with the facts that Zhu Ji Dan can also be promoted to the second rank.

The results of the test set off quite a storm. The elders who bet with Xiao Junyue looked extremely ugly, as if they were about to drip water.

Even Zhao Tingxuan let out a little surprise, showing interest in Xiao Junyue.

"There are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains. Martial nephew Xiao has an immeasurable future. Elder Qian has accepted a good apprentice." Elder Sun, who has always been honest, returned the elixir to Xiao Junyue, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and praised .

Xiao Junyue smiled faintly, saluted Elder Sun respectfully, and then stepped aside to wait for other people to inspect.

Seeing that the testers had come to an end, Li Que opened his eyes from the realm of his own perception.As soon as he patted the pill furnace, a golden pill the size of a longan was held in his hand.He stood up and shook the dust off his body, and like a gust of wind, he floated in front of Elder Sun, bowed his head and said: "The disciple has just realized something, and I wasted time, please don't be offended by the elder."

"It's okay, please give me the elixir." Han Lin asked to wait, but Elder Sun had no objection.

Li Que handed the elixir to Elder Sun, who threw it into the magic weapon without looking carefully.

"Fifth Grade... Yunling Pill."

The grade of the elixir was first displayed on the magic weapon, and the name of the elixir appeared after a while.Yunling Pill, unheard of, unseen.But this is not the point anymore, because everyone's sight is taken away by the five characters.

To be able to refine a fifth-grade elixir, Li Que must be at least a low-level alchemy master.The medicine sect who is more than a hundred years old has really given Bei Mingzong a face.

The author has something to say: #correct#

I will post the previous pharmacist level for everyone (Yaozun was omitted from the previous writing.)

Alchemy apprentice, low-level pharmacist, intermediate pharmacist, high-level pharmacist, master pharmacist, pharmacist, pharmacist, pharmacist, pharmacist, pharmacist, pharmacist.

The Medicine Sect is a watershed in the ranks of pharmacists. Only when they reach the strength of the Medicine Sect can they start to have a certain appeal.

Currently Xiao Junyue is an intermediate pharmacist, Lique Medicine Sect, Zhuohua Medicine King, Qianjun Medicine Emperor, and Zhao Tingxuan is a senior pharmacist.
