Chapter 163: Competition of Master Alchemy
"Extreme, impossible, is it really the best!"
Seeing that the elixir was released, there was a burst of exclamation in the square, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes at all. What a joke, it's nothing more than the alchemy that can be successfully produced by the combined refining method, but it is still the best elixir!
Those who used to talk about Liu Gan's "black history" with relish, and those who thought Liu Gan didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, all of them felt their faces were hot when they saw the top-quality elixir shining in the sun.
You must know that their previous comments and ridicules were not recited in private, but they were happily shared with everyone in this square. But at this time, their previous sharing pushed themselves into an awkward position, recalling that they were like clowns before.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, you really have made an extraordinary move!"
Following a burst of laughter, Yan Xinghe and the other three alchemy masters had already walked out of the wooden building and came to the square. When the people around saw the appearance of the four alchemy masters, they immediately gave way to a path leading directly to Liu Gan.
Yan Xinghe and the others walked through the path that everyone gave way to, and came to Liu Gan, and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, can you let me test the quality of the elixir?"
"The tiny skill made the four masters laugh, please." Liu Qian cupped his hands and said.
Yan Xinghe and the others each took a pill, inspected it very carefully by observing its pattern and smelling its smell. After some inspections, the four discussed with each other in low voices for a while, Yan Xinghe stood up and faced everyone, and said: "After our verification, Fellow Daoist Liu used the method of combined refining to refine the top-grade Condensing Yuan Pill, which is above the way of alchemy." You should be called a master. I don’t know if you have any different opinions?”
Just kidding, the four alchemy masters have verified it, who would dare to stand up and oppose it at this time? What's more, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Qian used the method of combined refining to refine the top-quality pill. Who can stand up and question the obvious facts here?
Since no one objected, Liu Gan, the title of master, was naturally considered to be in his hands. Although there is no strict assessment, the alchemy conference still provided a token to prove his identity, an identity card of the master of alchemy, representing the recognition of the alchemy conference.
The birth of a new alchemy master made this alchemy conference a lot more exciting. However, after today, the most discussed topic is probably about Jin Hongze.
After passing the Grandmaster Examination, Liu Gan followed Yan Xinghe and the others back to the wooden building again. And in the square, the previous things still continued, and people kept coming to the stage to show their skills. However, with Liu Qianzhuyu in front, no matter how amazing the performance of the people behind was, it would be difficult to arouse everyone's interest.
above the wooden building,
Ye Zan chatted with Yan Xinghe and the others for a while, and instructed them to get familiar with the method of using the camera magic weapon, and at the same time exchanged their opinions on alchemy.
Although it was impossible for Ye Zan to apply the scientific theories, he was also very eloquent in the analysis of various medicinal properties of herbs.
Yan Xinghe and the other alchemy masters nodded their heads repeatedly, and they couldn't help but secretly said in their hearts: they deserve to be able to cultivate at the foundation level and become alchemy masters!
After some exchanges, Ye Zan got up and was about to say goodbye. After all, the purpose of coming here has already been fulfilled, and it doesn't make much sense to stay here.
However, when Ye Zan was leaving, Yan Xinghe mentioned another thing. At the end of the alchemy conference, several alchemy masters will be on stage to show their alchemy skills. On the one hand, it is a demonstration for other alchemists, and on the other hand, it is also a communication and competition between each other, so I want to invite Ye Zan and Liu Gan to participate.
Originally, Ye Zan had no interest, but Yan Xinghe mentioned that there will be prizes for the grandmaster's competition this time, and the prize is a golden elixir provided by the Dandingzong.
There is actually a very special thing about alchemy, not only that they can make alchemy, but their cultivation is also inseparable from alchemy, or in other words, elixir. Danxiu's golden elixir realm is called alchemy golden elixir, because most of their golden elixir will use some kind of elixir as the basis to form the alchemy. This greatly reduces the difficulty for them to form alchemy, and of course their strength is not as good as that of traditional golden alchemy practitioners.
And this qi mixed primordial golden elixir, on the one hand, is a famous elixir for improving cultivation, and at the same time, it is also the best elixir for alchemy to form alchemy.
Although he already has the title of alchemy master, Ye Zan has no plans to change alchemy. However, the effectiveness of this qi-mixed primordial golden elixir in improving cultivation was still very attractive to him.
What Ye Zan is lacking now is to cultivate the Dao foundation to perfection, especially after opening the acupoints and spiritual springs, the spiritual energy needed is even more terrifying. Even if he is using Tiantian's top-grade spirit stone, it is not something that can be done in a short time if he wants to achieve the completion of the foundation-building state.
In fact, Ye Zan came to participate in the alchemy conference this time with a very important purpose, that is, to find out whether there is any panacea for improving cultivation. Therefore, since he had the opportunity to get a golden elixir, he naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he happily agreed to Yan Xinghe's invitation.
Ye Zan and his party returned to the inn. And in the next few days, as Ye Zan expected, there were voices talking about Jin Hongze everywhere in the ancient city. In particular, Ye Zan is still very good at occupying an open space in each of the four directions of the ancient city, and playing that video continuously.
Those who have not seen the video, those who have seen it and want to watch it again, often fill up the four spaces. It can only be said that people in this world really lack spiritual entertainment. Ye Zan even thought to himself, if he sold the tickets himself, he might be able to earn a lot of money.
However, it didn't take long for Ye Zan's idea to be put into action by others. Not long after the alchemy conference ended, the method of refining the camera magic weapon was passed down from some master. There are really people who shoot some strange images, and then sell tickets to play them, or sell copies, and become the pioneers of the world's film industry.
Speaking of the present, there are of course some loyal fans of Jin Hongze who persist in not believing the contents of the video, and even intend to destroy the magic weapon that broadcasts the video, and drive away the crowd of onlookers arbitrarily. However, as the saying goes, one fan tops ten blacks, the behavior of these loyal fans, on the contrary, made people more convinced of the authenticity of the image.
I don't know if Jin Hongze would be so angry that he would vomit several liters of blood after knowing this situation. At first he smeared Liu Gan, but this time, it can be regarded as retribution, and finally tasted the feeling of being spurned. However, he is the alchemy master after all, so he will definitely not be forced to have nowhere to go like Liu Gan.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and the Alchemy Conference was coming to an end, and it was also the day when Yan Xinghe said that the master would show off his skills.
Ye Zan and his party arrived at the square in the center of the ancient city on time, and the square had already turned into another scene. On the square, those alchemy furnaces have been removed, and a higher platform has been set up, with six alchemy furnaces placed on it, which is obviously a place for the masters to demonstrate their skills.
Ye Zan also met Yan Xinghe and the other four masters again. After greeting each other, they chatted for a while, and then climbed onto the high platform together, facing a pill furnace.
"This time the title of the master's performance is!"
Following a sound, I saw the outside of the wooden building, "Wow" spread out a large notice, with some big characters written on it, clearly stating the topic of this time. The topic seems to be very simple, use the cheapest materials to refine the Nine-turn Huihun Pill, and then reduce the difficulty of refining.
Jiuzhuan Huihun Pill is a kind of healing elixir for the soul, the difficulty of refining is definitely up to the master level, and at the same time the elixir formula is widely spread. It is not a problem for any alchemy master to refine the nine-turn soul-returning pill. Therefore, the real test lies in the previous requirements, using the cheapest materials.
What is the cheapest material? In fact, the prescription of each kind of elixir is basically not unique, and some herbs can be replaced by other herbs. The test here is the understanding of herbal medicines, and whether they can replace the precious ones with cheap ones.
You know, this is easier said than done. Some cheap herbs do have the same ingredients as precious herbs, but there may be some other toxic ingredients, which requires the addition of herbs to detoxify. Based on this calculation, the final price may be better than using the precious herbal medicine directly.
Moreover, what's even more exaggerated is that the title also requires reducing the difficulty of refining.
This nine-turn soul-returning pill can be called a master-level pill. In the case of changing the recipe, it is often increasing the difficulty. However, this topic requires that not only the herbs used should be cheap, but also the difficulty of refining should be reduced. This is simply what the fish and the bear's paw want, how can there be such a good thing in the world.
Seeing this topic, even Yan Xinghe's face became bitter.
Ye Zan asked curiously beside him: "Brother Yan, didn't you decide on this topic?"
Yan Xinghe nodded, and said with a helpless face: "Yes, this topic was actually decided by my Zong Yuding, and I didn't know it beforehand. By the way, the prize this time is the one-qi Hunyuan Gold Pill, it came from the hand of the Jade Cauldron."
"Hehe, if that's the case, then I'm relieved, I thought you would come up with the questions yourself." Ye Zan said jokingly.
"I really want to! But the golden elixir of the Jade Cauldron, how can it be so good." Yan Xinghe shook his head and said.
However, just as the master's performance was about to begin, someone shouted "Wait a minute" from the audience. Then, one person walked through the crowd and came to the high platform. It was the focus of people's discussion these days, alchemy master Jin Hongze.
Seeing Jin Hongze on the stage, the audience was in an uproar. After all, after watching the video for so long, this time they saw it alive. Of course, in front of Jin Hongze, no one dared to say anything excessive. After all, this is also a master of alchemy, and even a "famous" narrow-minded Yuanying ancestor. (To be continued.)
