Chapter 241: Alchemy Competition (1)

"Duan Tianfeng? It turns out to be Duan Tianfeng. I didn't even know the name of the young master of Wuji Sect before." Gui Tu said with a smile.

"It's normal not to know. This guy rarely appears in Kyoto." Bai Xiaotian shrugged and smiled.

Tianhe smiled lightly and said: "Anyway, you have to be careful when dealing with him. I have fought with him before. Not only is that guy terrible in strength, he is also ruthless."

"Brother Tianhe, who will win in the battle between you and Duan Tianfeng?" Mie Po asked curiously.

"Haha, we can't tell the winner. We must be evenly matched." Tianhe said with a faint smile.

Mu Qing on the side quickly asked: "Senior Brother Tianhe, if you meet him again, are you sure you can beat him?"

Hearing this, Tianhe was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, that guy is very powerful. I haven't improved much in my cultivation during these years of seclusion. That guy has an immortal weapon. With my current strength, it is naturally not his." opponent."

Duan Tianfeng is the young sect master of the Wuji Sect and the number one genius in the world of cultivation. The immortal weapons of the Wuji Sect naturally fall into his hands, and he will be the future master of the Wuji Sect.

"What about the Immortal Sword Sect? I heard that the young master of the Immortal Sword Sect is very strong. Is he a match for you and Duan Tianfeng?" Ling Zhan looked at Tianhe and asked.

"I don't know, I haven't fought against the young master of the Immortal Sword Sect, and I don't know his strength, but he is definitely not weak." Tianhe smiled and said, "Okay, let's all go and rest, we will start tomorrow. Keep your spirits up, no matter who your opponent is, just do your best and don’t care about winning or losing.”

"Senior Brother Tianhe, tomorrow is the alchemy competition, and we haven't even reached the martial arts competition yet!" Wei Yun rolled his eyes at Tianhe Road.

"Uh. Haha, I almost forgot." Tianhe felt a little embarrassed and rubbed his head out of habit.

Xiao Chen looked at Ling Zhan and asked, "Ling Zhan, aren't you going to participate?"

Ling Zhan said expressionlessly: "I'm not your opponent now, and I can't get first place by participating, so why should I participate?"

"Haha! It's true what Ling Zhan said. There are so many masters in the world of cultivation. If you can't get first place, there's no point in participating." Gui Tu laughed.

On the second day, the monks who came to participate in the competition or watch onlookers all gathered early near the ring built by the auction house. A large, dark crowd was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"There are so many people, it's so lively!" the Blood Witch said with a happy smile. When walking on the street, the most conspicuous thing about Soul Gate was her uniform black high-collared robe.

"Of course, Sister Blood Demon, this is nothing, because the alchemy competition starts first, so there are still many strong people who haven't come." Mu Qing said with a happy smile.

"It's about to start, let's go." Xiao Chen smiled and walked towards the ring.

In front of the huge arena, the three elders of the auction house were discussing something. After a while, an elder stood up, moved forward in the air, and came to the arena. He pressed his hands to signal everyone to calm down.

The whole place suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the elder. He was Zuo Qingyang, the great elder of the auction house.

Zuo Qingyang is dressed in a blue robe, with white beard and hair, and a wrinkled face, but his brows exude a domineering aura that cannot be underestimated. Although Zuo Qingyang cannot see any energy fluctuations, everyone knows that, Zuo Qingyang's strength is very terrifying.

"What a terrifying aura! This elder is a master of the Tribulation Stage! And... and he is also an alchemist! His soul power is stronger than that of Senior Dong! He is an eighth-level alchemist!" Xiao Chen said in surprise, he could sense Zuo Qingyang The wisps of energy fluctuations in the body.

"What? An eighth-level alchemist?" Xiao Chen's words immediately startled Mie Po and others.

"How amazing! He is actually an eighth-grade alchemist! As soon as this elder came out, the whole place fell silent." Gui Tu said in surprise, and took a breath of fear.

Zuo Qingyang glanced at everyone, then smiled lightly and said: "I am Zuo Qingyang, the elder of the auction house. Everyone here must recognize me. The alchemy competition that is held once every ten years is about to begin. I won't talk nonsense. Tell me the rules of the game."

After a pause, Zuo Qingyang smiled and said: "The rules of the alchemy competition are very simple, but the requirements are relatively higher, because this time the alchemy champion will get a seventh-grade elixir. The rules are very simple. There is only one chance. If you fail, you will be eliminated directly." Exit, there are one hundred and seven alchemists participating in the competition, in order to save time, let’s compete together, the alchemy competition starts now!”

"Only one chance?"

"It's over. Once you fail, just quit."

"Didn't we have two chances before? How come it changed once?"

The alchemists participating in the competition started talking about it. When they heard that there was only one chance, one or two of them became worried.

During the commotion, Dong Daoxian appeared in a flash and said with a faint smile: "Anyone whose name is read, please come to the ring. The auction house only provides medicinal materials. Bring your own alchemy furnace. Liu Qing, Zhang Hucheng..."

In just one stick of incense, the alchemists participating in the alchemy competition were already on the stage, lining up in several rows. The guards at the auction house would write down what elixirs were needed for alchemy and fetch the medicinal materials.

"Xiao Chen also participated in the alchemy competition? Is he also an alchemist?" Xu Qiuleng, the top disciple of Tianxuan Valley, looked at Xiao Chen with wide eyes.

"Xiao Chen is actually an alchemist. Isn't this impossible?" Another Tianxuan Valley disciple was also shocked.

Wei Yun and others from Tiandao Sect were also shocked. Wei Yun widened his eyes and said, "Xiao Chen is actually an alchemist?"

"How is this possible? His cultivation is so powerful, how can he have time to refine pills?" Bai Xiaotian said with disbelief.

Not only were they shocked, but the onlookers were also shocked. Even the alchemists participating in the alchemy competition on the stage were shocked. Powerful men from all major and small forces simply couldn't believe that a person with powerful cultivation actually had other time. Alchemy!

Since Xiao Chen dares to participate in the alchemy competition, it means that Xiao Chen's alchemy realm is not weak! Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Xiao Chen glanced at the alchemists on the stage and thought to himself: "It seems that there is no age limit for alchemists. Anyone who is an alchemist can participate, and there are many high-level alchemists. Those two old guys are still at the sixth level." Alchemy master, it’s really not that simple.”

"I have finally waited for this day. I don't know how powerful the sect master's alchemy skills are!" Han You secretly thought in his heart, becoming more and more excited and looking forward to it.

After the auction house guards prepared all the herbs needed by the alchemists, Dong Daoxian smiled and said: "Very good, the alchemy competition starts now, and there is only one hour left."

As Dong Daoxian's words fell, the alchemists began to get busy, using their own alchemy furnaces, activating the real fire, and entering the alchemy state. The monks watching all around fell silent. Everyone knew that alchemy requires a quiet person. environment.

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Why haven't you made an elixir yet?" The ancient white tiger asked via voice transmission. Seeing that everyone else had made an elixir, Xiao Chen remained motionless.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Haha, I want to see the alchemy techniques of those two sixth-grade alchemists."

"I see, but why aren't there any seventh-grade alchemists coming to the competition?" The ancient white tiger asked again.

"Seventh-grade alchemy masters are already very powerful in the world of cultivation. Do you think it is meaningful for them to participate in the alchemy competition? Otherwise, senior Han You would also participate." Xiao Chen said with a smile through voice transmission.

The seventh-grade alchemist has a transcendent status in the world of cultivation, so naturally he will not participate in such competitions, and there are no more than ten seventh-grade alchemists in the world of cultivation.

Han You's identity as a seventh-grade alchemist is rarely known in the world of cultivation. What everyone knows is that Han You is only a sixth-grade alchemist. If they knew, the Wu family, the Zhou family, the Blood Demon Sect and other forces would not dare to attack the soul. He must take action, otherwise Han You only needs to say a word, and there are countless strong people in the world of cultivation who are willing to take action for the elixir.

"What's going on with Xiao Chen? Why doesn't he make elixirs?" A monk asked doubtfully.

"What's wrong with Xiao Chen? Why haven't you started refining elixirs yet?" Dong Daoxian also asked in confusion, frowning and looking at Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen is not simple, he has such a powerful soul power. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it. At the age of twenty, he not only has the state of late-stage out-of-body experience, but he is also a sixth-grade alchemist, which has never been seen in the world of cultivation. There has never been a genius like him." Zuo Qingyang said, looking at Xiao Chen with shock in his eyes.

"This boy's eyes are firm, his face is calm, and he is not panicked at all. The fact that he can strengthen the soul gate shows that he is not simple." The second elder Huang Baishan said with a faint smile.

"Why hasn't Xiao Chen started yet?" Gui Tu asked in confusion, looking anxious.

"Don't worry, the sect master is observing other people's alchemy techniques and will start in a moment." Han You said with a faint smile, his eyes never leaving Xiao Chen.

"boom!"

Before Xiao Chen started refining the pills, there was a muffled sound on the arena, and wisps of black smoke came out of an pill furnace.

"Eliminate!" said a guard at the auction house, signaling the failed alchemist to leave the ring.

"Bang bang bang!"

Less than a stick of incense had passed before a series of muffled sounds were heard in the arena, and black smoke was emitted from each alchemy furnace. Seeing the black smoke emitting, the alchemists left the arena one by one with disappointed faces.

These failed alchemists were only third- and fourth-grade alchemists. Because they had not yet mastered the temperature required for medicinal herbs, they failed from the beginning.

"Two sixth-grade alchemists are not simple at all. Their soul power is very strong." Xiao Chen observed for a moment and thought to himself, but he was not worried at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took out the alchemy furnace. Xiao Chen's alchemy furnace was not a high-end product. It only needed to be able to make elixirs. Of course, some high-end elixirs required a high-quality alchemy furnace, which Xiao Chen had not found yet.

"Peng!"

The black fire in Xiao Chen's body was activated, and with a puff, a black flame appeared on Xiao Chen's palm, followed by a chilling breath that filled the air.

Feeling the cold breath of the black fire, all the monks present turned pale with fright. The alchemist next to Xiao Chen was even frightened and fell to the ground. Their faces were pale, and they all stared at Xiao Chen's black flames with wide eyes. .

Zuo Qingyang suddenly lost his composure and said: "Then... what kind of flame is that? What a terrifying smell!"

"Black real fire? I have never seen it before. This flame is so weird!" Dong Daoxian was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head, and the cold aura frightened him.
