Chapter 180: The First Gu Refining Session
Follow the road up the mountain and reach halfway up the mountain. A wide platform has been opened here, and three large characters "Zhuitutai" are engraved on the mountain wall. It seems that it is a place where the qualifications of entry-level disciples are assessed every year, and then the elders are allowed to select the disciples.
But at this time, the place has been roughly renovated.
Simple Gu arrays were arranged on the floor tiles to separate areas. Each piece is marked with a number.
Every once in a while, the flow of people in front moves for a while. On both sides of the road, disciples from the Wude Sect were handing out number plates.
Fang Yuan received a number plate with the number sixty-three marked on it.
Walking to the disciple selection platform, he found the position of No. 63 and sat cross-legged on the floor tiles.
After a while, the people in the square sat down, and an elder from the Wude Sect announced loudly: "The four introductory questions of this Gu Refining Conference, the assessment begins!"
The next moment, hundreds of Gu Masters on the disciple selection stage took action one after another, each showing their abilities.
Some palms hold a ball of flame, which is a method of refining by fire. Some spit out clouds of smoke from their mouths, which is a method of refining smoke. Some released several ice snakes, and the ice snakes raised their heads together and breathed out cold air. This was ice refining.
In Fang Yuan's hand, dozens of stars were flying, like a group of blue fireflies, swirling around.
Following the order, Fang Yuan put in the Gu refining materials step by step. A quarter of an hour later, he completed all the test questions and stood up.
"What a fast speed!" The Wude Sect elder who presided over the scene had long known Fang Yuan's identity as a fifth-level Gu Master and had been paying attention to him.
Despite this, when Fang Yuan stood up. The elder's face still showed surprise.
Fang Yuan's completion speed was too fast. There was not a single mistake during this period, and the technique was extremely proficient.
"What. Someone has already finished it?!" Fang Yuan's actions made many Gu masters in the field look at him.
"It's the mysterious Rank 5 Gu Master..." The old master was outside the field. When he saw Fang Yuan, his pupils shrank, and then he cast worried eyes on his disciple, praying in his heart, "Good disciple. You can't So I was distracted and disturbed."
Fortunately, his little apprentice. He had been burying his head in refining Gu, looking extremely focused, and did not notice any movement on Fang Yuan's side.
Fang Yuan walked up to the high platform, where the Wude Sect elder immediately left his seat. Personally inspect the four Gu worms in Fang Yuan's hands.
"There is no negative state. It's like a well-fed Gu insect. The state is extremely stable." The elder of Wudemen was secretly shocked. After completing the inspection, he handed over to Fang Yuan and said warmly, "Sir, please go this way. Go up the mountain.”
Fang Yuan nodded and walked slowly. Left the disciple selection platform.
"impossible?"
"Someone actually passed it in less than a third of the time..."
"What a powerful refining attainment!"
Everyone outside the venue was talking noisily, even the Gu Masters inside the venue who were refining their Gu. There were also a few who failed to refine the Gu at hand because they were too surprised and their moods were turbulent.
Fang Yuan participated in the Gu Refining Conference this time and did not need to hide his identity. As a Gu Immortal himself, there is no need to hide his clumsiness.
He walked up the mountain. After a while, an elder from Wude Sect came to greet him: "Your Excellency, please stay for now..."
The elder just spoke. Fang Yuan waved his hand and interrupted him: "I know your purpose of coming. I don't have this idea, even the Wude Sect can't accommodate me.
"
The elder was stunned for a moment, and an angry look flashed on his face.
When he got up this time, he took the order from the sect master to try to recruit Fang Yuan and invite him to become the guest of the sect.
In fact, as one of the registration points for the Gu Refining Conference, Wudemen's main purpose is to recruit talents.
Originally, Fang Yuan's cultivation was manifested as rank five, which attracted great attention from everyone in the Wude Sect. The master of the Wude Sect was astonished by the Tao Refining attainments he had just shown. How could he let such a talent go? So he ordered the elders to come forward to discuss.
As a result, the elder was rejected by Fang Yuan before he explained his intention.
Being ruthlessly rejected by Fang Yuan, the elder felt extremely embarrassed.
"What else do you want?" Fang Yuan glanced coldly.
The elder's face turned purple with anger, and he snorted coldly: "Your Excellency actually looks down on my Wude Sect. Isn't it too arrogant?"
"Do you want to bet with me?" Fang Yuan's voice was cold.
The elder's anger froze and he looked at Fang Yuan deeply: "Okay, okay, your Excellency is very pretentious. I think you will definitely get the first place in the Gu Refining Conference. Everyone in my Five Virtues Sect will definitely wait and see!"
After saying that, he walked away.
Fang Yuan didn't take it seriously and continued to move forward. After turning around a cliff, he saw Mu De Hall.
This main hall is hidden among the mountains and forests. It is green and complements the surrounding vegetation.
Fang Yuan walked into the main hall. There were countless tables and chairs in the hall, and the elite disciples of Wude Sect were waiting in formation. Seeing Fang Yuan appear, one of the disciples hurriedly greeted him: "Senior, may I ask your name, which sect you are from, and which Gu master sect you major in."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice: "My surname is Fang Yuan, my sect is confidential, my major is confidential."
"Uh... Okay, senior, please pay the registration fee of one hundred yuan stones. This fee will be used for..."
Before this disciple could finish speaking, Fang Yuan threw the prepared Yuan Stone over.
The disciple hurriedly caught it and said politely: "Please sit down for a moment."
After a while, Fang Yuan got a token.
The word Fang Yuan is written on the front of the token, and behind the token is a row of small characters: The sect is confidential, the sect is confidential, sign up at Wude Gate. At the end, there is still time to register.
"Senior, please keep this token. If you lose it, please replace it as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to participate in the Gu Refining Conference. Please continue walking up the mountain. There is the first Gu Refining Competition in the Huode Palace. Senior Only by passing this competition can you be qualified to participate in the second competition." This disciple explained patiently.
Fang Yuan took the token and left Mu De Hall.
At this point, registration is over.
On the surface, the Central Continent Gu Refining Conference was jointly organized by the ten ancient sects, but secretly it was silently supported by Heavenly Court.
The scale of the Gu Refining Conference was unprecedented, with hundreds of registration points spread across Central Continent. Most of them. Sects like Wude Sect are relatively strong and close to the ten ancient sects. Or simply the spokesperson for the interests of the ten ancient sects.
If Fang Yuan wants to participate in the Gu Refining Conference, he must refine Gu on the spot at any of the registration points, and pass the four entry-level questions before he is eligible to register and obtain a token.
Because there were many demonic Gu Masters participating in the Gu Refining Conference, and there were even Gu Masters from other four realms who came here. Gu master registration is very casual. You can choose any name you want, but don’t mention the school or sect if you don’t want to. The focus is on the token itself.
There is also a group of rather special Gu Masters.
The sects to which these people belong or themselves have obtained rankings in the previous Gu Refining Conference, so they can directly participate in the Gu Refining Conference.
For example, Hong Yi is like this.
The Academy of All Beings to which he belongs. In the Gu Refining Conference a hundred years ago, he got a low ranking. This time, there are three places in the Academy of All Living Beings, and they can participate in the Gu Refining Conference without taking the test.
It is worth mentioning that this exemption from examination is only available to Zhongzhou Gu Masters and Zhongzhou sects.
After all, this Gu refining conference was organized by the ten ancient sects of Central Continent, so it was inclined to the mainland of Central Continent.
Of course, there are a large number of exemption quotas in Xianhe Sect. But Fang Yuan only has the title of being a vassal of the Immortal Crane Sect, and he really wants to ask for this spot. Not easy. But Founder is another situation.
Part of the sect's quota is allocated to disciples and elite disciples, and the other part is allocated to the elders.
Fang Zheng became the elder of Xianhe Sect. Naturally, you can't compete with the disciples for places. And his own attainments in Taoism were very low, so he couldn't compete with those elders.
To participate in the Gu Refining Conference, the Immortal Crane Sect will naturally give out quotas to those Gu Masters who have profound attainments in Gu refining and can support the Immortal Crane Sect's reputation.
Therefore, no matter it is Fang Yuan or Fang Zheng. You have to register yourself.
Fang Yuan took the token and walked up the mountain. Enter the Huode Hall.
This is the first battle of the Gu Refining Conference.
If your score is too poor, you will not be eligible to participate in the second round.
Fang Yuan stepped into it and learned the contents of the first Gu refining session.
"In one stick of incense, there must be at least one hundred Gu insects, Water Light Gu, that have not been refined before they are qualified and can enter the second test. One hundred and fifty will be rewarded with ten kilograms of void." Shadow petals. One hundred and eighty, you will be rewarded with six basins of rootless water. Two hundred, you will be rewarded with ten lightning-struck trees... Two hundred and forty will be the third place, and two hundred and sixty will be the second. Two hundred and seventy-six will be ranked first, and they will get the fourth level of treatment of Gu bugs, green Gu bugs that are good at antipyretic and poisonous."
Fang Yuan thought about it in his heart.
The difficulty of this first Gu refining test was suddenly much higher than the previous four introductory test questions.
However, it should not be difficult for most Gu Masters.
Because as long as you refine a hundred water light Gu, you can pass the level and be qualified to continue. But these rewards are indeed tempting to those Gu Masters.
The first one is the rank four Gu insect Green Gu.
Fourth-level Gu, that is, a Gu that is often possessed by elders, family elders in large forces, and even leaders of small forces.
For Fang Yuan, Green Obsidian Gu can be purchased from Baohuang Tianzhong.
Fang Yuan's level is too high, and these rewards are almost unattractive to him. What makes him interesting is the challenge the topic brings to him.
"The basic materials for refining Gu have been limited and can be used for free. The recipe for water light Gu is also given and you can check it at will. But even if I try my best and use the water refining method, I can only refine two hundred at most. There are more than fifty. This result can only rank third. But here at Wudemen, the third place has been taken away. "
This kind of question also pays attention to first come, first served.
Once the top three are taken away, no matter how good the results of the next ones are, it will be useless.
In other words, if Fang Yuan wants to be on the list, he must win the second place or the first place.
"Actually, there is no way to win first place. First of all, I can add other precious materials to increase the output of Gu insects. Water light Gu is only a first-level Gu. I can definitely increase production by using second-level and third-level Gu refining materials. . But I have to pay for this cost myself. Secondly, I can improve the Gu recipe. I have the inheritance of Wisdom. I can slightly improve this one-turn Gu recipe and I can do it without using Wisdom Gu. But in this way, wouldn’t it? Is it no longer challenging? The fun is lost. Hmm... maybe I can challenge the water and fire refining method. Water light Gu is a water channel voodoo insect, and it is usually refining with water or ice. But I did the opposite. , using fire to refine it may have miraculous effects!"
