first fairy

The chariot is close to the cliff, the ancient buildings are majestic and magnificent, dotted with rare and exotic grasses, and there are even ten thousand-year-old trees that are like coiled dragons and crouching dragons, and their roots are full of vitality. The corridors are connected by bridges.

From a distance, you can see where the Artifact Refining Pavilion is located, and the icebergs and spiritual springs are flying down. The strange sight made the first-time Vice Peak artisans dumbfounded, so excited that tears filled their eyes, and they were speechless.

"Stop, who is coming!"

"My family escorted the students to participate in the temple competition. You can afford to delay the time!" The ancient chariot blossomed Xia Tao.

The face of the mountain guard changed slightly. Seeing that the visitor was not friendly, he quickly opened the door, but his eyes lingered on the group of chattering craftsmen, and finally fell on the young man who was sitting alone. At the ordinary student level, the pupils of the mountain guard suddenly shrank: "Who is this?"

Rong Xuan's powerful spiritual power erupted from his eyes, hitting his soul like a needle piercing an electric glow.

The chariot carried ten feet of colorful light, pierced through the portal with the momentum of thunder, and swept towards a certain place. The pattern there was like star patterns, and the dark clouds were lingering like starbursts.

"Wrong side." Rong Xuan said.

"Huh? That is indeed the direction to the Xingge Pavilion." The elder of the Xie clan who urged the chariot replied.

Rong Xuan said: "Go to the Medicine Pavilion first, and compare alchemy."

"Why don't you compete in formation? With your level..." Xie Yuce was also surprised that the big competition started almost at the same time, and there were almost no all-rounders.And Rong Xuan is obviously better at setting up formations than alchemy, otherwise there would be no need for Long Yunpan to sit in Wanshoufeng.

Based on Rong Xuan's unpredictable overall situation, he could have set up a defensive mountain formation comparable to the heavens a few decades ago. Now the level of the spirit pattern formation should be far better than before. It is not certain which level it can reach. , he believes that Rong Xuan can secure the spot, but if it is refining medicine, then it is not necessarily so.Regardless of whether the younger generation is refining medicine, setting up formations or refining weapons, there are only two places for all the immortal sects of the Qing Dynasty to participate in the grand competition.

"In the Medicine Pavilion, I have a debt to settle," Rong Xuan said lightly, "Even if it's alchemy, I'm not incapable of winning it. If you ask me that, I'll think you're afraid that I'll snatch Ye Haoran's spot."

"What does this have to do with Haoran? How can he be compared with a real alchemist as a Taoist cultivator who has graduated halfway, I mean you." Xie Yuce said helplessly: "If you stand out in the five continents grand meeting, you will be able to add honor to the Shangqing Xianzong Add color, in the future, you will be reused in the Shangqing Xianzong, even if you leave the Xianzong, you will be famous in the five major states, and even have great prestige in the surrounding states, but your purpose is probably not this."

"No." It is impossible for Rong Xuan to add honor to the Shangqing Xianzong, as long as he is given a chance, it will be good if he does not discredit him.Going to the Five Continents Festival will give you a reason to get rid of the poison. At that time, with cultivation in hand, it will be more useful than a great reputation.

Xie Yuce stared at Rong Xuan suddenly, and said via voice transmission: "Tell me the truth, the reason why you want to go to the Five Continents Festival is because of..."

Rong Xuan looked at him, Xie Yuce hesitated to speak, and said, "Forget it, I'll talk about it after you finish the competition. You do your best, if you really can't, I still have me."

The chariot turned around and headed towards the Medicine Pavilion on the other side.

Rong Xuan felt that he didn't need to compare formations. He had learned a holy pattern ten years ago, and of course he had set foot in the realm of a master of spirit patterns. The holy pattern that can only be carved into a spirit, even if it is the simplest one, can be seen in advance by the little ghost who has not reached the master level, it will be a big deal.

There are not many master-level spirit pattern masters in the temple, and the younger generation is even rarer. With Rong Xuan's age, he can be regarded as the youngest spirit pattern master. As long as this identity is revealed, he does not need to participate in the competition. , Star Pavilion will give him a place.Rong Xuan first went to the Medicine Pavilion to see the situation before going back. He was very curious about where Ye Haoran had reached, no matter what the latter's purpose was, Rong Xuan did not want him to do so.

There was a lot of movement in the chariot, and the startled low-level students of the Medicine Pavilion looked up one after another, pointing: "Who needs the escort of the Huanyu Peak Xie Clan chariot? Didn't the Huanyu Peak disciple go in a long time ago? That person looks familiar."

"No way, he really came back, he's still not old! Has his cultivation recovered, or did he take Yongyan Pill..."

"Who?"

"Who else is there, who was expelled from the temple a hundred years ago and given the sub-peak domain, and can still make a fortune..." The old students who recognized him couldn't help but move, no wonder they couldn't hold their breath, It's really that Rong Xuan can't be judged by common sense. At the beginning, he was the number one in refining medicine and setting up formations, and he was also the first in spirituality, and he could run wild in the temple with his cultivation. , but can still sit on the position of the peak master, almost integrated the sub-peak that belongs to the temple, and even the thousand summits in the sub-peak domain are controlled by him. In terms of status, maybe even the three pavilion masters have to be polite to him.

Rong Xuan kept a low-key retreat for decades. The students who beat the dog in the water didn't know why, but in the past two years, rumors spread to the temple, and these students couldn't help but feel anxious. Many people went to the Qianfeng Summit to meet Rong Xuan , but they failed to get what they wanted, and now they don't know what expression to use to treat him.

"Now the sub-peak domain is completely dominated by Wanshoufeng, and the master of Wanshoufeng is only half a student of the temple. How powerful is this person?" But it is a disciple of the temple, which makes the disciples of the temple extremely proud.

Many students were emotionally unstable, secretly thinking that the new disciples did not know the seriousness: "Hush your voice, what do you know, the master of Wanshou Peak is his apprentice, and Rong Xuan is the founder of Wanshou Peak in terms of qualifications. I didn't see that it was Xie who picked him up Your Highness, Huanyu Peak Master Xie Yuce!"

"The students who are expected to win the quota are all five-level alchemy masters. Even if this Rong Xuan is extremely capable, he can't compare to Long Yunpan who broke through the master!" A student was full of confidence and couldn't help saying, "Yes, Dan After the return of First Disciple Wang, it seems that he still has grievances against Rong Xuan. This may be the result of his younger brother Liu Jing's incisive questioning. With Grandmaster Long around, Rong Xuan must not try to please him at all. Even if he has made breakthroughs, all these years The other students in the temple are not paper, afraid of what he will do."

In the three halls of the holy hall, the selection of places representing the Shangqing Xianzong to Wuzhou to participate in the most important Nine Refining Wind Meeting is in full swing. This is the biggest event in the holy hall for more than a hundred years. The stronger the strength, the more it can demonstrate the majesty of the ancient great religion, which is especially important for the Shangqing Xianzong this time, and the temple cannot be ambiguous in the slightest.

When the time came, the alchemists who were ready selected the pills and prepared the elixir and entered them one after another. It started almost at the same time. The grades of pills selected by different people were different, and the refining completion time and success rate were very different. As for The standard of judging is to judge the degree of difficulty through special instruments, and then sort according to the level and integrity of the successfully refined pills.

Some candidates chose too high a level of pills, except for the main medicine, there are three copies of each auxiliary elixir, if they fail to refine it three times, then the loss outweighs the gain.So you still have to do what you can.

This time, not only the Pill King came out, but even the master of the Medicine Pavilion showed up, together with the elders of the major pavilions, watching the big competition participated by hundreds of students.

Few of the younger generation can break through the masters. The new masters of alchemy are all in the most central area. The Jiulianfenghui in the Wuzhou Grand Gathering is prepared for the younger generation and can only participate once. The last time Long Yunpan When he went there, he didn't take part in the competition, he just went to observe it, and waited for the second Nine Refining Wind Meeting to become famous in one fell swoop. After he broke through as a master, he didn't even need to participate in the Grand Competition, he could get a place, and he could choose someone to lead go.In short, as long as you can follow along, there are great opportunities everywhere.

"The Immortal Mountain stole the limelight at the last five continents event. This time, with Grandmaster Long leading the team, the Shangqing Temple will definitely be able to avenge its shame!"

The elder of Yaoge had high hopes for Long Yunpan, but the latter was a little absent-minded, looking at the door from time to time.

The spiritual fire shuttled through the cauldron, and it was scorching hot underneath.

Several people looked down at the competition place and discussed in low voices.

"Li Jin has improved a lot, and Liu Jing is also good. Both of them are fifth-level pharmacists. Luo Huo, Liu Ji and others are a bit behind, but they are very proficient in refining medicine, but they are not much better than other teachers. Advantages, the juniors have different good and bad, and you don’t have to participate in the war when you go, you just have to gain insight, don’t force it.”

"I almost missed it. The young man in black in the corner over there is not bad, and the middle-grade pill of the ground level can be refined to the realm of pure love." The veteran in the stands commented, "It looks very familiar, It seems that I have never seen it on the list, who is that?"

"Ye Haoran." Long Yunpan recognized the person and couldn't help but be amazed. Ye Haoran's level of refining medicine is better than before, and he boldly chose the earth-level middle-grade elixir.This person is just a novice who has been refining medicine for decades, and his progress is rare.Last time, this person couldn't even practice elementary elixirs well. He had a whole body of theory, but he couldn't use it flexibly. Now he can refine the middle-level elixirs by himself. !

Suddenly someone came to report, including the elders, all were silent for a moment.

"Rong Xuan is here?" Ge Lao was not very happy, and said, "Let him in. The big competition has started for an hour, and he just came now. He really didn't pay attention to the temple."

Some elders looked at the messy Taoist platform not far away, and only the high-level pills that were almost difficult to refine were left, as well as the ridiculously low-level yellow-rank pills. There were very few elixir, and the few elders did not know what to say What, Ge Lao replied: "According to the rules, let him choose from the remaining elixirs and pills. What kind of pills he can get together depends on his own ability. If he is not punctual, he will end up."

According to the rules, in order to avoid injustice, all the elixirs and pills in the competition were provided by the temple, and students were not allowed to bring their own pills, let alone use the pills that had been successfully refined before. Rong Xuan was stripped all over his body It was all gone, and he put on the most common medicine refining robe, and the space magic weapon was also handed over to the other side for safekeeping.

All the Dabi Dan recipes selected by the temple can be refined within a limited time, as for some higher-level categories that take ten days and a half days or even several months to complete the alchemy, they are not among them, after all, it is too late, It took too much time to restore the body after crossing the catastrophe, but now there are not many pills for Rong Xuan to choose.

"There will be problems." Rong Xuan hissed.

The Tianjie Pill Formula simply gave up, not to mention the lack of time, even the number of main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients required is too much and too complicated, the key is that they are still too few, if one fails, it will undoubtedly fail.

There are piles of remaining yellow-rank elixir, without any technical content. They were properly refined but the grade is too low, so they can only be buried, and there is no need to choose them.

Suddenly, Rong Xuan sighed lightly, bent down and found a scroll of pill recipes that had fallen in a corner on the ground, opened it, his eyes brightened, and sighed: "Breaking Sea Qi Pill, a high-level Xuan-rank."

This is the only thing you can choose. Rong Xuan could easily refine the elixir at the peak of the Xuan level decades ago. Apart from being beneficial to the cultivation base, some elixir is also harmful to the cultivation base. Compared with refining The elixir of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence is the opposite, as the name suggests, it destroys the sea of ​​qi, and destroys a hundred years of cultivation. A strong man below the Linghuang is also considered a big killer move. If he accidentally swallowed it as a pill to replenish qi and blood, it would be really bad luck.

Although this elixir was a little tricky, it was not difficult for Rong Xuan. It took him half an hour to finally get the total number of elixir needed, and he found an empty cauldron casually.

Rong Xuan looked around, and found that almost all of them were new faces, not many old acquaintances, and Ye Haoran in the corner was really eye-catching, Rong Xuan squinted his eyes, and found that the other party had quietly chosen a middle-grade earth-level elixir to refine , couldn't help but sneered, the number of people who chose high-grade pills in the field was a bit famous, and the one Ye Haoran chose was quite conservative.There are only two quotas, and there are two refining earth-level high-level elixirs. He chose a middle-grade one, so he thinks that other people's refining is not successful.

There is not much time left, so he didn't care about Xuan Zang's clumsiness, he raised his hand and shot a gray-black magic fire into the tripod, and then threw all the auxiliary medicines into the tripod, the mental power of the one-turned spirit came out from the body, and the subtle control Each elixir is refined into liquid droplets.

In the eyes of the veterans in the stands in the distance, this extremely rough method of refining medicine is simply not enough to describe it with indignation.

"Who taught him this! How can you refine medicine in such a way that you will forget the original after decades, and forget all the things you learned at the beginning!"

An elder comforted him and said, "Even if it is refined, it is only at the advanced level of the mysterious rank, and the difficulty is no more than four, so it is probably hopeless. There are dozens of people who refine the product rank higher than him, and there are two who refine the top-grade pill of the ground rank. There are three mid-grade earth-level pills, and more than ten low-grade earth-rank pills."

Suddenly, there was a bang, and the central alchemy furnace was extremely unstable. Liu Ji, who was controlling the fire, was sweating profusely, and let out a loud roar from his throat, but he still couldn't suppress the riot in the cauldron. The alchemy furnace in front of him boomed. With a sound of rolling, the mid-grade middle-grade elixir that was in the formation of the alchemy was burnt and blackened, and it was declared a failure.

Liu Ji's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he knelt down with a look of despair, and was dragged away by the arms of the Elder of the Medicine Pavilion who guarded the place.

The scorching fire rolled out, and most of it was collected, but there were still a few sparks falling in all directions. For some students, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The pill furnace of the high-level earth-level medicine was affected, and disasters also occurred, and many people in the central government suffered, and the scene almost got out of control.

The face of the student who failed in alchemy due to the scourge of others was distorted, and he scolded Liu Ji a thousand times in his heart, wishing he could rush up and punch him a few more times.

The elders guarding the side were used to this scene, and they all rescued the students, stabilized the situation, and did not cause too much harm to most of the students, while Ye Haoran in the corner was not affected at all, and refined the medicine in an orderly manner The liquid gradually reached the final moment of condensing the pill.

Before the pavilion master opened his mouth, the elder of the medicine pavilion stroked his beard, but he was also very optimistic about Ye Haoran: "This competition can only choose two people, if the rest of these pills can be successfully refined, I think the two places We can only choose from the three with the highest elixir, the newcomer in the corner is very promising and may surprise us."

Ye Haoran and Liu Jing were the only ones left to refine mid-grade earth-level pills. The only place left to refine high-grade earth-grade pills was actually Li Jin. He chose a place far away from the center and no one around. Rong Xuan distractedly took a look at the alchemy furnace, and found that it was an acquaintance, so he looked away.
