Chapter 224 Competition (Subscription Request)

The alchemy furnace, the refining furnace and other related tools were provided by Jiuhua Sect, and then several witnesses also came forward to check them.

After confirming that there were no problems and the grades were exactly the same, Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin officially came to the field.

Chu Ning and the other four were arranged to watch in the corner of the high platform.

When they saw Lu Jiakang holding the jade slip on the alchemy platform with his brows slightly frowned, everyone had a rough idea in their hearts.

This Lu Jiakang had indeed learned some alchemy techniques before.

Just as Ge Liuyang said, the alchemy and weapon techniques have a lot in common.

But if it is an ordinary intermediate low-grade elixir, it may be okay, maybe it can be refined.

Intermediate middle-grade elixir is obviously beyond the scope of Lu Jiakang's alchemy skills.

On the other hand, Gu Guanlin, who is not tall at the other end, has obviously put a lot of effort in alchemy.

He took the jade slip and carefully checked it while taking the spiritual medicine next to him and started studying it.

The following process was roughly in line with the judgment of everyone present.

An hour later, when the white-haired old man surnamed Peng announced that the alchemy officially began.

The two began to refine pills.

Now, anyone who has a little knowledge of the art of alchemy can see the gap between the two.

Lu Jiakang's various techniques are standard and there is nothing special about them.

And Gu Guanlin used a fire control technique that looked quite mysterious.

After a while, the aroma of pills could be clearly smelled in Gu Guanlin's furnace.

There was no movement on Lu Jiakang's side.

At this time, Lu Jiakang was obviously a little more anxious. He cast several spells on the alchemy furnace.

"Bang!"

Then, there was a sound of a furnace explosion.

It also announced the failure of Lu Jiakang's alchemy.

Seeing this scene, many disciples of Jiuhua Sect couldn't help but let out a series of regrets.

Although they also knew that Lu Jiakang was not good at alchemy, they still had a little extravagant hope, but now it was directly in vain.

As long as Gu Guanlin could refine the pill, it meant that the victory of this first game would belong to Daluo Sect.

Afterwards, Gu Guanlin's alchemy was normal.

Until he opened the furnace to take the pill, he flew a small jade bottle filled with pills to the white-haired old man surnamed Peng.

The white-haired old man surnamed Peng took the pill and looked at it, and then showed it to the other four witnesses, and then nodded and said:

"Daluo Sect Gu Guanlin refined four pills, Jiuhua Sect Lu Jiakang did not make a pill, this game, Daluo Sect wins."

Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but glance at Gu Guanlin on the high platform.

He was able to make four pills in the first contact with the practice of the middle-grade middle-grade pill. This person's attainments in alchemy are also quite good.

Even in Jiuhua Sect's Alchemy Pavilion, it is estimated that only a few people can compare.

Then, the old man surnamed Peng began to arrange the next weapon refining competition.

At this time, the middle-aged scholar next to the white-haired old man surnamed Peng stood up.

He casually took out two blank jade slips and copied the contents of the jade slip that the old man surnamed Peng had previously recorded the Nine Luo Refining Method in front of everyone.

Then he gave the jade slips to the old man surnamed Peng and the four witnesses to read them one by one.

Then he raised his hand and threw the two jade slips at Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin in the dojo at the same time.

The old man surnamed Peng smiled at Yu Changge and the others and said:

"The other four people will compete in this Nine-Luo Refining Essence Method later, so I won't show it to you for now.

Even after the two junior brothers on the stage have finished their competition, we will use a soundproof cover to separate them and prevent them from communicating with the other four.

The five of us have just confirmed that there is no difference in the refining methods in the two jade slips.

As for the refining materials, I will let the two Taoists take a look later.

I hope you understand this."

After the old man surnamed Peng finished speaking, Yu Changge and Ao Langtian nodded to show their understanding.

Everyone silently waited for Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to check the Nine-Luo Refining Essence Method.

Half an hour later, the old man surnamed Peng announced that the time was up.

In such a short time, it is unlikely that the two of them can master this refining method to any depth.

At this time, the old man surnamed Peng spoke again:

"My two junior brothers, you can only use this Jiuluo Refining Essence Method for the competition now."

He pointed at the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has a deep attainment in refining weapons. If you don't use this method, you can naturally distinguish them."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded, raised his hand again, and threw two pieces of black metal materials to the two people in the field.

Then, his eyes were fixed on the two people in the field.

The same was true for everyone in Jiuhua Sect.

As the chief deacon of Jiuhua Sect's Refining Pavilion, Lu Jiakang undoubtedly had great expectations for this competition.

Soon, after the two of them looked at the materials in their hands, they began to put them into the newly replaced refining furnace and began to refine and purify the materials.

After Chu Ning looked at each of them, his eyes fell on Lu Jiakang.

He observed carefully.

He had basically no contact with refining weapons before, but he had a weapon master spirit body, and his perception of refining techniques was far beyond that of ordinary people.

At this moment, he roughly sensed that Lu Jiakang seemed to be slightly better than Gu Guanlin.

So he observed carefully.

After all, he would also compete with Ao Xuan in this aspect later.

Take this opportunity to get acquainted with it first.

Strangely enough, Chu Ning knew nothing about weapon refining before.

But at this moment, looking at Lu Jiakang's weapon refining, he felt something.

I have to say that the spiritual talent given by the system is indeed powerful.

Not only Chu Ning saw it, but gradually, some people with advanced cultivation levels and people familiar with weapon refining also saw it.

Lu Jiakang's performance at this time was obviously even better.

He put the material into the refining furnace to temper it for a while, then took it out and forged it with a hammer.

After repeating this several times, the material that was originally as big as a fist in his hand became only as big as an egg.

After a while, the middle-aged scholar suddenly spoke:

"time up!"

Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin both stopped refining, and they raised their hands and threw the two pieces of materials towards the high platform.

The middle-aged scholar casually grabbed two things in his hand.

After a little investigation, he handed the materials to the old man surnamed Peng and others.

Then, the middle-aged Confucian scholar said:

"Both sides use the Jiuluo Refining Method. In terms of refining quality, Jiuhua Sect Lu Jiakang is slightly better. In this competition, Jiuhua Sect wins!"

"oh!!!"

As the middle-aged Confucian scholar surnamed Chen finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted from the scene.

The Jiuhua Sect disciples all had smiles on their faces.

They have discovered that the Daluo Sect's people are menacing, but they are not invincible.

Although Chu Ning and Yuan Rongzhang did not shout and cheer, their faces were a little more joyful.

Chu Ning's eyes were a little more thoughtful at this moment.

“When Senior Brother Lu was refining weapons just now, except for the skill of controlling fire and tempering.

There is also something mysterious about the forging technique, and it should be combined with the use of some kind of magic power.

There are also certain rules in terms of rhythm and intensity. "

Chu Ning secretly recalled Lu Jiakang's technique when he made weapons just now.

"Write down all these first, and compare them later after you see the refining method. Maybe you will gain more insights."

While Chu Ning was thinking about it, she was paying attention to the situation in the dojo.

After finishing the alchemy and weapon refining competitions.

Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin left the high platform and flew into the middle of the fighting field, which was about a hundred feet in size.

This venue is surrounded by restricted fluctuations, and it is a venue that Jiuhua Sect has arranged a long time ago.

Of course, for the sake of safety, several witnesses, Ao Langtian and others conducted a check.

At this moment, when Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin entered, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

It was different from the previous two games.

This competition is not only about direct confrontation between the two sides, but also about facing great dangers. It is also related to which sect can take the lead in the first round of competition.

"According to the rules set by the principals of both parties, there is no limit to the means of fighting, and there are no other restrictions except that no one is killed.

If one side feels outmatched, they can admit defeat in advance. "

After saying this very simply, the white-haired old man named Peng sat down.

These words made the disciples on both sides look solemn.

This is actually not very different from a life and death battle.

In the field, Gu Guanlin, who was short at this moment, suddenly raised his hand as soon as he finished speaking.

Then, an extremely sharp magic fire knife attacked Lu Jiakang.

At the same time, he also had a long black knife in his hand.

The flames flashing around the long sword were obviously no ordinary thing.

Lu Jiakang was holding a giant hammer in his hand at this moment, and he struck it down quickly.

The same fire light flew out and hit the fiery red sword light in the air.

At the same time, Lu Jiakang also exuded an earthy yellow mana shield.

Obviously, this late-stage foundation-building monk from Jiuhua Sect did not relax his defensive vigilance.

At the same time that his shield lit up, the ancient crown forest on the opposite side raised his hand again, and several talismans were fully activated.

Looking at the power of the talismans, they are all intermediate and high-grade talismans, and there are even high-level talismans mixed in.

However, Lu Jiakang was also prepared and blocked them all one by one.

At the same time, several attacks were launched.

The two of them were obviously well prepared for this fight and used all kinds of methods.

But everyone also knows that the real resolution will come after both sides have exhausted their means.

Gradually, things like talismans no longer appeared in the hands of both sides, but they began to attack continuously with the magic weapons in their hands.

Obviously, even if they are extremely well prepared, they are almost exhausted by the continuous fierce battles.

At this time, Gu Guanlin suddenly took out a talisman and activated it.

While his whole body was covered, the long knife in his hand had also disappeared, and instead there was a short knife.

"magic weapon!"

Chu Ning, who was watching the battle from a distance, muttered secretly when he saw this scene.

I know that this person is obviously using his trump card.

Lu Jiakang in the field obviously knew this, and his face became serious at the same time.

He waved his hand casually, and a shield appeared in his hand, and at the same time, a silver dart appeared in his hand.

"They are also magic weapons, and there are two of them!"

Chu Ning was slightly surprised when she saw the shield and silver dart in Lu Jiakang's hand.

It is not easy to use magic weapons with the cultivation level in the foundation building stage, and the required mana consumption is huge.

This is especially true when using two magic weapons at the same time.

After all, not everyone has the mana as strong as Chu Ning, who can use magic weapons with the cultivation of the initial stage of foundation building.

Moreover, not everyone's magic weapon is like the double fire ring. The mother ring absorbs not much mana, but can gather and drive the fire attribute aura to make the child ring launch a powerful attack.

Lu Jiakang had been fighting for a long time before. After driving the magic weapon, he obviously felt that his mana had been consumed a lot.

The next moment, Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin waved their hands at the same time.

The silver dart and the short knife flew out and shot towards each other.

Two magic lights, one silver and one red, collided fiercely in the air!

The next moment, they suddenly staggered away and then rushed out.

The red short knife flew in front of Lu Jiakang and hit the shield formed by the shield in front of him heavily.

The shield broke, but was blocked by the shield inside!

The silver dart on the other side also hit the talisman shield in front of Gu Guanlin, hitting him hard.

Gu Guanlin's body was knocked back hard!

But what surprised everyone was that Gu Guanlin seemed to be uninjured.

"This person is wearing a piece of armor!"

Soon, everyone found out the reason.

Under the influence of the magic power of the silver dart, Gu Guanlin's outer robe shattered.

Revealing a piece of metal armor on his body.

This armor is obviously not an ordinary item. It was not damaged at all under the attack of the silver dart.

At this moment, Gu Guanlin, who had recovered from his shock, flashed a sneer on his face.

He raised his hands suddenly, and a short cone appeared in his hand.

The next moment, several lightning flashes came out from it and bombarded Gu Guanlin.

"Thunder magic, this person actually has a strange spiritual root like thunder spiritual root!"

Seeing Gu Guanlin's attack, everyone in Jiuhua Sect changed their colors.

Lu Jiakang, who was in the middle of it, also had a slightly changed expression. At this moment, he no longer had the mana to support him to continue to use the shield magic weapon in his hand.

But the lightning attacked from all directions, and he couldn't block it directly with the shield.

He could only use ordinary magic tools to condense a shield.

However, this kind of magic shield could not withstand Gu Guanlin's thunder attribute attack.

When the magic shield outside Lu Jiakang was broken for the third time, a thunder spell hit him heavily.

"Puff!"

Lu Jiakang trembled all over, and then a stream of blood spurted out.

His face was pale.

Obviously, this attack had already caused him serious injuries.

Lu Jiakang still refused to admit defeat at this moment, and raised the magic weapon in his hand to launch another attack.

"Jiuhua Sect admits defeat in this game!"

At this moment, Yu Changge stood up and said in a deep voice.

The next moment, his figure flashed and entered the magic restriction.

But at this moment, Gu Guanlin's lightning spell had already hit Lu Jiakang again.

Yu Changge waved his hand, and the lightning spell disappeared in the air.

And he looked at Gu Guanlin coldly.

The latter showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"I didn't stop for a while."

Yu Changge said nothing more and took Lu Jiakang out of the restriction.

There was not much noise in the dojo at this moment.

Lu Jiakang was the highest level among the three people in Jiuhua Sect, and he carried two magic weapons, but he still lost in the battle.

This was undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the disciples of Jiuhua Sect, and it also made everyone a little silent.

That Gu Guanlin was not the one with the highest cultivation among the three people in Daluo Sect.

The one with the highest cultivation among the three was Ao Xuan!

Now Lu Jiakang, the highest level among the three Jiuhua Sect, failed against Gu Guanlin, who was not the highest in Daluo Sect.

In the first round of three competitions, Jiuhua Sect only won one game, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on Jiuhua Sect's victory today.

Yu Changge took Lu Jiakang back to the platform.

"My two junior brothers, I am incompetent and have held you back."

Lu Jiakang smiled bitterly at Chu Ning and the others, his tone full of guilt.

Chu Ning and Yuan Rongzhang wanted to go forward to comfort him.

The old man surnamed Peng had already stepped forward and said:

"Master Yu, according to the rules, we need to separate this nephew, after all, he has just seen the Nine Luo Refining Essence Method."

Yu Changge nodded, took out a pill and handed it to Lu Jiakang, and then returned to the main seat.

The white-haired old man surnamed Peng called Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to one side.

Several witnesses took action at the same time and imposed an isolation ban on the two of them.

In this way, although Lu Jiakang and the others could still hear the outside world, they could not communicate with the outside world.

"Let's have the second round of competition!"

As the old man surnamed Peng said this, Yuan Rongzhang, who was originally standing next to Chu Ning, stepped forward.

On the other side, Leng Daichun from Daluo Sect also stood up.

"The remaining two are intermediate-level high-grade pill recipes. Please take one of them, Brother Jia."

At this time, the old man surnamed Peng took out two more pill recipes for the female Jindan cultivator to take.

Then he copied the pill recipes into two jade slips, and gave them to Yu Changge and Ao Langtian to check if there were any problems.

Then he gave them to Yuan Rongzhang and Leng Daichun.

The two immediately took the pill recipes and spiritual medicines and flew up to the alchemy platform on the dojo.

Chu Ning was sitting on the high platform at this moment, staring at the expressions of the two people on the alchemy platform.

When he saw that the two people's expressions were unusually calm and there was no big fluctuation, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"It seems that these two people should be able to refine intermediate-level high-quality elixirs."

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's eyebrows slightly raised.

Among the three games in this round, Yuan Rongzhang's most likely to win should be the alchemy competition.

After all, I haven't heard that Yuan Rongzhang has much contact with refining tools before.

As for the Daluo Sect, since they dare to propose this competition method, it is estimated that these three people have dabbled in alchemy and refining tools.

It's just a matter of attainment.

So Yuan Rongzhang's chances of winning are very small.

As for fighting, Yuan Rongzhang is only in the middle stage of foundation building, while Leng Daichun is in the late stage of foundation building.

It's even more difficult to win.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Chu Ning has some understanding of Yuan Rongjian's alchemy skills and knows that he has made great progress.

If you are new to refining an intermediate-level high-quality elixir, under normal circumstances, you should still have a certain degree of success of 40% to 50%.

This still has a certain chance of winning, after all, not everyone has the alchemy skills like Chu Ning.

While Chu Ning was thinking about this, the old man surnamed Peng had already announced the official start of the game.

Chu Ning was on the high platform watching the two people cast spells to control the fire and prepare to extract the elixir.

The next moment, his expression became more serious.
