The former Taoist partner who was dumped by me came back

After returning to his residence from Zhong Baozhai, Lan Zheyu began to refine the top-quality Condensing Yuan Pill.

The effect of the top-grade Condensed Yuan Pill is very good. After refining, the amount of spiritual energy in his dantian has been close to half, which is more effective than refining dozens of top-grade Condensed Yuan Pills.

Because the alchemy contest was to be held in two months, Lan Zheyu didn't dare to delay. After refining the Ningyuan Pill, he took out the alchemy furnace and began to practice alchemy.

In fact, Lan Zheyu is very proficient in both hand formulas and seals, and the control of pill fire. The only shortcoming is that the amount of spiritual energy in his body is too small.

In the beginning, Lan Zheyu always failed in alchemy due to lack of aura in his body, and he miscontrolled the last step.However, after slowly deliberating, he finally found a way to save spiritual energy. Now that he is refining the Condensing Yuan Pill, four furnaces can be made out of ten furnaces, and the failure rate is already very low.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Lan Zheyu had been refining alchemy non-stop for these two months, and finally succeeded in refining a high-grade condensing essence pill after two months.

These achievements are not only because of his accumulation of alchemy in the past few years, but most importantly because of the pure spiritual energy in his body.Now Lan Zheyu has learned to use a very small trace of spiritual energy to control the pill fire and spiritual grass, so that when refining alchemy, the consumption of spiritual energy is much less.

At the moment when the top-grade Condensing Yuan Pill was refined, Lan Zheyu finally had some understanding in his heart.Now, he can be ranked as a second-rank alchemist.

Three days later, Lan Zheyu arrived early at the venue of the Alchemy Competition, the square in the middle of the former Songdo.

It is also the first time for Lan Zheyu to come to the original Songdo Central Plaza. It is a magic weapon in the shape of a lotus flower. The petals of the lotus flower are the seats for the audience.

At this moment, the auditorium in the square was already full of monks.Looking around, there is a dense mass of darkness, and a rough estimate, there must be at least tens of thousands of people.

Speaking of the alchemy competition, the Zhong family and the Qiu family hold it in the former Songdo every three years.From the first time to the present, it has been held not only a thousand times, but also hundreds of times.At first, only a small number of people watched, and the scale was not large.Later, more and more people knew about it, and more and more people watched it. Today, the Alchemy Competition and the auction house have become the symbols of the former Songdo, which is one of the reasons why the former Songdo is prosperous.

Now every time there is an alchemy competition, many monks will come to watch.Not only to watch the excitement, but also to auction off the elixir refined in the alchemy conference.There are very few third-rank alchemists in the endless sea area, and the third-rank alchemy refined is not enough for the tribe to take, let alone sell it to the outside world.The high-level pills that are rarely seen at ordinary times can only wait for the three-year alchemy competition.

In the very center of the auditorium, that is, the flower core of the lotus-shaped magic weapon, is the alchemist's competition venue.

The auditorium and the competition venue are separated by a sky-blue water curtain. Although this water curtain has the effect of blocking people's consciousness and sound, it does not block people's sight.The monks sitting in the auditorium can see the situation behind the water curtain.

The playing field is a perfect circle, and a hundred square tables are placed on the edge of the circle.The square tables are also separated by blue water curtains, and a medicine box, a booklet, and a pill furnace are placed on each square table.The quality of the alchemy furnace has a great influence on the success or failure of alchemy. For the sake of fairness, alchemists can only use the alchemy furnaces prepared in the arena, and these alchemy furnaces are of the same quality.

Lan Zheyu followed the alchemists into the competition venue. There were nearly a hundred alchemists participating in the competition, and Lan Zheyu walked among them without attracting attention.

Not long after the alchemists participating in the competition entered the arena one by one, the bell on the square rang, and as the bell fell, a tall, thin, serious-faced middle-aged Taoist with a short beard appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the arena.

After the middle-aged Taoist appeared, he looked around the field first, and then said: "There are a total of 100 people participating in this alchemy contest, and it is still the old rule that all the pills made by the alchemists on the field will be sold after the competition ends. In three days, all will be auctioned at the auction house, and the proceeds from the auction will belong to the alchemist. The competition is divided into three rounds, the first round is refining water yuan pills, the second is refining training yuan pills, and the last round is refining third-order pills The medicine 'Golden Pill'. The one who refines the best quality 'Jiejindan' will be No.1 in this big competition, and will get a top-quality pill furnace as a gift from the auction house." The eyes of the middle-aged Taoist Turning around on the field, he continued: "No.2 and No.3 will get a tripod of high-grade alchemy."

Hearing the words of the middle-aged Taoist, the audience in the audience suddenly showed excitement.Even the alchemist on the stage had a flash of fire in his eyes.

'Golden Elixir' is an elixir taken by monks in the golden elixir stage, and it is an advanced elixir.Because the medicinal materials for refining 'Golden Elixir' are very scarce, they are usually priced but not marketed.This time the Zhong family and the Qiu family took out the alchemy materials so generously, and they all dispatched the most powerful alchemists in the clan, they will definitely be able to refine the excellent quality 'Jie Jin Dan', which is a great help for the foundation-builders in the audience. For a consummated monk, it is really a great blessing.

This competition, whether it is for the audience in the audience or the alchemists on the stage, is a great temptation.

Even Lan Zheyu was extremely excited when he heard this.He was the suzerain's son, so he has seen many good things.He has also seen the top-grade alchemy furnace. Father Lan has a cauldron in his hand, and the effect is not comparable to the alchemy furnace he is using now.If he can really get a tripod of top-grade alchemy furnace, it is not impossible for him to refine top-grade pills.However, Lan Zheyu also knows that there are three third-rank alchemists in this big competition. He wants to win the first place, but his hope is very slim. If you practice solidly in seclusion, you don't need to make alchemy and mussels desperately in order to earn spirit stones.Before he knew it, Lan Zheyu's thoughts had coincided with those of the alchemists present.

Of course, the main reason why the organizer made such a big deal this time is to appease all the casual practitioners.

As soon as such a gold mine appeared, it was controlled by the Zhong family and the Qiu family. Although the casual cultivators didn't say anything, they must be dissatisfied in their hearts.If a few advanced pills can be refined and auctioned this time, it will naturally reduce the resentment of some casual cultivators.Of course, after the ownership of the island is determined this time, they will have other appeasement measures.

The middle-aged Taoist raised his hand and made a quiet gesture. After everyone in the field quieted down, he said slowly: "Because there are only five raw materials for refining the golden pill, 95 people will be eliminated in the first two competitions."

Hearing the middle-aged Taoist's words, the alchemist's joy faded a lot in an instant, and he looked at the competitors around him, and his eyes could not help but show a trace of hostility.

"The first competition is to refine the second-order water essence pill." The middle-aged Taoist ignored the expressions of everyone, and directly said the content of the first round of the competition.

It takes seventy-seven and forty-nine cumbersome seals to refine the first-order water essence pill, and ninety-nine 49 cumbersome seals for the second-order water essence pill, the difficulty can be imagined.Even for a second-rank alchemist, it is very difficult to refine a second-rank water essence pill, let alone a first-rank alchemist.This first round of competition has completely eliminated most people's thoughts.

Glancing at the alchemists in the field, most of them already showed a look of despair.The white-robed old man knew it in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.He stroked his short beard lightly, and continued: "You must refine the alchemy within three days, or you will be out of the game." After the old man's words fell, the bell on the square rang again, which heralded the official start of the competition.

Although many people no longer have any expectations for the first level, none of them is willing to quit, because the success or failure of alchemy depends not only on experience and level, but sometimes also depends on luck.If a Tier [-] alchemist performs exceptionally well, it is possible to refine an extremely difficult Tier [-] pill.So even if most people are not sure, they still want to give it a try.

Refining the second-order water essence pill is the same as refining the first-order water essence pill. The refining material is only water-soluble grass, a kind of spiritual grass, but the required quantity is different.It is even more difficult to refine this kind of elixir without adding any auxiliary spirit grass, because this kind of elixir requires extremely high handprint fingering.

Lan Zheyu opened the medicine box and took out the medicinal materials inside one by one. There were five materials for refining Shui Yuan Pill, which meant that there were four chances of failure.

It will take at least one day to refine a potion of medicine, especially the medicine with complex handprints such as Shuiyuan Dan. You need to practice gestures in advance. Although there are five medicines, everyone does not have so many opportunities to try. .If the first three furnaces fail in refining, the time is almost up, that is to say, the success rate must be above 30.00%.The more complex the pill, the higher the failure rate, which is an indirect test of the success rate of alchemy.

After the bell that heralded the start of the competition rang, some alchemists raised their alchemy fires and began to alchemy. These people looked calm, obviously they often refine the second-level water essence pills.But more people, like Lan Zheyu, picked up the booklet on the table and looked at it.Because not all alchemists know how to refine water essence pills, the pamphlet records the 81 handprint formulas needed to refine second-order water essence pills.

As time passed, more and more people began to practice alchemy, but Lan Zheyu still took his time, demonstrating the 81 hand formulas in his heart over and over again.

When refining alchemy, even the slightest mistake will lead to the failure of alchemy.Lan Zheyu didn't dare to take it lightly, he closed his eyes and concentrated on it, silently rehearsing the handprint of refining the water essence pill countless times in his heart.

The second-order elixir, the most proficient in refining by Lan Zheyu is the Ningyuan Pill.Condensing Yuan Pill and Shui Yuan Pill are relatively difficult to refine among the second-order elixir. The difficulty of Ning Yuan Pill is that it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and the difficulty of Shui Yuan Pill lies in hand formula.It is not easy to play a set of complicated moves in a very short period of time.

Time passed slowly, and more and more alchemists failed to refine the first batch of elixir because of their impetuous mind and eagerness for success.When many people have already started to refine the second or even the third material, Lan Zheyu is still practicing the mudra technique without haste.

Gradually, his technique became faster and faster, looking like a windmill from a distance, leaving only an afterimage.
