Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 188 The Alchemist Examination
Xiao Chezhi, the young disciple of Zhenjun Yumin of Luomu Peak, is the best disciple among the younger generation of Luomu Peak and is also an outstanding alchemist.

He is about ten years older than Luo Qingli, and they are both in the middle stage of foundation building. He is also one of the top five people in the list of the [-] stone tablets in Kuxiu Cave all year round. However, Luo Qingli has only heard of this senior brother Xiao's name, and has not heard of him before. I haven’t seen it before. Since everyone has come to Taoyao Fairy City this time, I have to pay a visit.

Yin Tianhua laughed out loud: "Master Xiao is very busy. I guess he doesn't have much time now. Master Luo will naturally be able to see him on the day of the alchemy test."

Luo Qingli raised his eyebrows, nodded without asking any more questions, and chatted with them about alchemy.

The next time she spent most of her time at the sect's headquarters, occasionally a few fellow disciples came over to ask questions, and Luo Qingli also answered them in detail.

Everyone basically knows the theoretical things, but her own tips for alchemy may not be suitable for everyone, and sometimes this matter relies heavily on sensory experience. Even when Song Jinghong guided her in alchemy, he didn't teach her step by step. It's more about letting her figure it out on her own.

The alchemists from the Jade Toad Sect who came to Taoyao Immortal City to participate in the alchemy exams all had at least ten years of experience in refining alchemy, and their foundations were very solid. Luo Qingli taught his methods as much as possible, and they were able to understand them on their own. Later, in At Yin Tianhua's suggestion, she demonstrated refining a furnace of fifth-level elixirs in front of them, which was quite effective.

The days passed quickly, and on the day when the alchemy test began, Luo Qingli, Yin Tianhua and others went to the main square of Taoyao Immortal City.

On this day, numerous formations were set up around the square. Only alchemists holding alchemy master examination tokens could enter. On the large square, formations were used to separate areas of the same size, and each area was placed There are alchemy furnaces that are exactly the same in size and shape.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, this alchemist assessment competition is completely transparent to the outside world. All equipment and medicinal materials are provided by the organizer, and no fraud is tolerated. Accordingly, all the elixirs refined by the alchemists also belong to the organizer, but they will not be used until the competition is completed. After the event ends, the alchemist can also obtain corresponding rewards based on the final ranking.

Luo Qingli stood outside the square and could clearly see that many people had gathered in the formation. These were all alchemists who had come to take the alchemy exam. Among them were many monks who had taken the exam from the previous year. But apart from the likes of Dou Yue and Hui Tongguang, Except for this special case, which had already obtained the title of Level [-] Alchemist in the last alchemy exam, they could skip the first two days of competition and go directly to the finals, while everyone else had to start from scratch.

Yin Tianhua walked to the entrance and waved to her, "Uncle Luo, here!"

Luo Qingli walked over and saw a long queue at the entrance. With the event token, you could randomly receive a number plate, which corresponded to the specific location on the square.

There were monks passing by constantly. Luo Qingli looked around the crowd. Xiao Wu asked strangely in the spirit beast bag: "Is the master looking for something?"

Luo Qingli laughed, "I'm looking for a beautiful young lady."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked expectantly: "How beautiful is it?"

"It should be... quite beautiful."

Luo Qingli recalled that she had met Ye Wangshu more than ten years ago. They were both still young at that time, but Ye Wangshu had already matured into a charming and charming woman, and she must be no less good now.

Xiao Wu followed her, his eyes wandering around the monks coming and going, paying special attention to the particularly good-looking female monks, and his eyes were almost dazzled.

"Master Luo, Master Xiao is here."

Yin Tianhua pointed at a group of people in rich and colorful clothes walking over not far away and reminded them.

Luo Qingli turned around and looked. The leader was a tall and heroic man. Next to him was a handsome young man with outstanding temperament wearing a gold-trimmed black robe. A pair of red and phoenix eyes were shining, and his face was like a peach blossom, looking forward to it. While talking to the tall male cultivator, he was also looking at the other female cultivators beside him, making them giggle.

Yin Tianhua whispered: "Uncle Xiao likes beauties. He walks among thousands of flowers without a leaf touching his body. He is very popular among female cultivators in the sect. There are currently many cultivators in Taoyao Immortal City who just arrived here some time ago. , Uncle Xiao was busy going to the streets to seduce beautiful women, and on weekdays we don’t even see anyone..."

The corner of Luo Qingli's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly remembered that he and Ren Xingcheng had discussed the popularity of male cultivators in the sect.Ren Xingcheng was also young and talented, and was sought after by many female cultivators, but at the time he said that he was not the most popular male cultivator in the sect.

Now that he saw Xiao Chezhi, Luo Qingli probably understood.

There were several beautiful cultivators in the group. Xiao Chezhi knew how to take into account the emotions of beauties, and never left any of them indifferent. After a while, he was surrounded by them, and Xiao Wu in the spirit beast bag blinked with tears in his eyes. envious.

But not everyone agreed with him. On the other side, there was a female cultivator in a yellow shirt who was in the middle stage of foundation building and deliberately kept a distance from them, with a hint of impatience on her face.

Luo Qingli scanned it gently and was suddenly startled. Xiao Wu raised his neck and muttered in gloating, "The most beautiful sister ignored him."

Luo Qingli laughed dumbly, "This young lady is the one I'm looking for."

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and Luo Qingli patted the spirit beast bag: "I'll introduce it to you later."

Xiaowu's eyes brightened and he nodded repeatedly.

While they were talking, the group of people also arrived at the entrance. Yin Tianhua took two steps forward and said hello, "Uncle Xiao, you are here."

Xiao Chezhi smiled and nodded, his phoenix-like eyes fell on Luo Qingli, his eyes paused for a moment, and then his smile became brighter, "This must be Junior Sister Luo, right? I have heard about the name for a long time, and I have been fascinated by it. It turns out that Junior Sister is like this A beautiful lady."

He had a springy look on his face, but he didn't look frivolous.

Luo Qingli remained unmoved and bowed lightly.

Xiao Chezhi's eyebrows moved slightly and he introduced the people one by one, "Brother Shen, these are my fellow disciples of the Jade Toad Sect. This is the disciple of Uncle Jinghong I mentioned to you, Luo Qing. Junior Sister Liluo, I am very likely to become your strong opponent in the Alchemy Master Examination Competition this time."

Before the tall male cultivator surnamed Shen could speak, the female cultivator in yellow clothes beside him was the first to ask in confusion: "Luo Qingli?"

Ye Wangshu looked towards her, and Luo Qingli took a few steps closer with a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist Ye, how are you after so many years of separation?"

Ye Wangshu looked slightly startled. After carefully identifying it, he was greatly surprised, "It's you!"

She circled Luo Qingli twice, holding her hand in disbelief, "Oh my God, it's really you! Is your health better? You're already in the middle stage of foundation building."

Luo Qingli nodded with a smile, "I had some opportunities after I parted ways with you, and later joined the Jade Toad Sect. I was lucky enough to have True Lord Jinghong as my disciple. It's been a smooth journey all the way."

"That's really good!"

Ye Wangshu was sincerely happy for her.After they said goodbye that year, she thought she might never have the chance to see Luo Qingli again. The friendship they shared during adversity when they were young still feels precious now that she thinks about it. Unfortunately, Luo Qingli's pubic area was damaged at that time, and Ye Xiliang did not agree to let him go. After being brought back to Scarlet Heaven Sect together, they could only part ways in that small town.

"My seventh uncle really has no vision!" Ye Wangshu snorted: "But it's a good thing he has no vision, otherwise you wouldn't be able to join Yu Chan and have a good teacher."

Everyone in the Chixiao Sect on the side was ashamed. The one who dared to say such things about Xiliang Master was probably this young lady.

Xiao Chezhi asked curiously: "Are you two old acquaintances?"

Luo Qingli nodded, "When I was young, I was fortunate enough to get to know fellow Taoist Ye."

Ye Wangshu also said: "That was more than ten years ago. When I was in the most embarrassing situation in my life, she was with me."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, the past unspoken.

Ye Wangshu introduced her to the group of people from the Scarlet Sky Sect. The male cultivator surnamed Shen, whose full name was Shen Zhong, was in the late stage of foundation building and was good at the two methods of alchemy. He was the seed contestant from the Scarlet Sky Sect who came to take part in the alchemy test this time. With the ability to make sixth-level elixirs, Ye Wangshu is also a leader among the younger generation of alchemists in the sect. This time, he came for the title of fifth-level alchemy master.

Both sides greeted each other and lined up to enter the venue.

Ye Wangshu was enthusiastic and lively, and when he reunited with Luo Qingli after a long separation, he stood with her and chatted casually about the past years.

Luo Qingli told most of his experience. After hearing this, Ye Wangshu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "What you lose is what you gain, what is happening in this world is really wonderful... But now that you have repaired your Dantian, you can practice again. Why haven’t you come to Scarlet Heaven Sect to find me all these years?”

"I originally wanted to come to Scarlet Sky Sect during my previous training, but too many things happened on the way..."

Ye Wangshu didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "But it's a surprise that we can meet again in the Central Plains."

Luo Qingli nodded in agreement, "That's true. I bought a list of alchemists in Fangshi before and saw your name before I knew you had come to Taoyao Immortal City."

The two of them were talking to each other, but because there were so many people at the moment, Xiao Wu didn't come out in a hurry, and sat in the spirit animal bag to look at the beautiful young lady up close.

After a while, they each received their own number plates. Coincidentally, their number plates were also connected together.These number cards are all randomly distributed, and it must be said that it is fate to draw two consecutive ones.

The alchemists participating in the assessment entered the square one after another. Everyone stood in their own alchemy area. Each area was separated by a certain distance to ensure that they would not interfere with each other.

Luo Qingli glanced around. She and Ye Wangshu were next to each other. The other monks from the Jade Toad Sect and the Chixiao Sect were scattered in various directions. Luo Qingli also saw Ning Shen and Han Jinyu, but their positions It's relatively remote.

By the time of the hour, the formation in the main square was completely closed, and a high platform made of clouds and mist suddenly appeared in the sky. At the same time, several golden elixir monks appeared on the high platform to take charge of the alchemy master assessment. The examiner, another Nascent Soul Master, flew high into the sky out of thin air and addressed everyone on behalf of the organizer. What he said were nothing but inspiring words.

Everyone listened attentively, and then the Nascent Soul Master withdrew, and another late-stage Jindan male cultivator with a stern expression stepped forward to announce the rules of the competition.

The assessment standard on the first day is to refine three different furnaces of fourth-level elixirs, and the elixir yield rate is required to be above [-]%. As long as this standard is met, you can participate in tomorrow's competition, and you are guaranteed to get a fourth-level elixir. Alchemist Medal.

The three types of fourth-level elixirs are decided by the organizers and will not be made public until the official start of the competition.

Luo Qingli had already understood the competition system of the alchemy master examination earlier, and Ye Wangshu also inquired carefully. While the golden elixir monk on the high platform was explaining the rules, he quietly communicated with Luo Qingli: "You know what happened just now? Who is the Nascent Soul True Lord?"

Luo Qingli really didn't know this yet.

Ye Wangshu blinked and said, "The Gilded Tao Pagoda is the host of this elixir test. He is an elder from the Gilded Tao Pagoda with the Taoist name Wushuang. The favorite to win the championship, Hui Tongguang, is his direct junior. , I heard from the gossip that Hui Tongguang’s victory this time is almost guaranteed.”

Luo Qingli raised his eyebrows, "With so many pairs of eyes looking at it, it's not a big deal, right?"

The alchemists were all refining alchemy on the spot, looking at real materials. Even if Lord Wushuang wanted to open a back door for Hui Tongguang, he would have to find a way to hide it.

"Of course I'm not saying he's cheating." Ye Wangshu shook his head, "But what if the final test questions were known in advance? As long as Hui Tongguang can just practice those few pills, this leader will naturally be easy to catch."

Luo Qingli thought for a while and smiled softly: "No matter what others do, we can just refine our own elixir."

Ye Wangshu curled his lips and nodded.

"The three fourth-level elixirs that need to be refined today are as follows!"

A large banner appeared high in the sky, hanging from the clouds. On it were written the three fourth-level elixirs that needed to be refined today, namely the Zengyuan Pill, the Rejuvenation Pill, and the Dingyan Pill.

These three kinds of elixirs are commonly used in the foundation building stage, and they are also elixirs that a fourth-level alchemist must be able to refine. They have varying degrees of difficulty and are a great test of the alchemist's basic skills.

Luo Qingli often refined these elixirs when he was in the sect. Practice makes him perfect, and he already knew the test questions well.

A maid distributed the materials needed for alchemy one by one. At this time, a beam of light suddenly lit up in the square, and the isolation formation was activated. The alchemy area where the alchemists were located was surrounded by an isolation barrier. Not only can the master not be able to see the progress of others, but he cannot also communicate with others.

The Jindan monk examiner pointed to a flag high in the sky and said: "From now on until the moon climbs this flag, anyone whose finished product meets the standard can participate in tomorrow's competition."

"Now, the Alchemist Assessment Competition officially begins!"

Following the order, all the alchemists started to move one after another, and several golden alchemy monks on the high platform in the air also flew to several corners of the square to perform supervisory duties.

Luo Qingli flipped through the storage bag that the maid brought up. The materials in it were enough to refine three furnaces of each type of elixir. However, this assessment had a prescribed time limit. Even if the refining continued, the nine furnaces of materials could not be refined. Use them all.

　Thank you Shang Biebieshang and Baijing for the reward~
