On the top of Yuxia Mountain, a cloud is steaming, filled with purple mist, which is the smoke evaporated during alchemy, like a cloud, adding infinite mysterious brilliance to the top of the mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Underneath this purple mist, there is a huge courtyard, in which there are hundreds of buildings of all sizes.

Zhan Chen came to the gate of the palace with the others, and when he looked up, there were three golden characters written on the lintel "Yuxia Palace". It is also the largest alchemist organization in the Central Domain, bringing together a large number of alchemy talents and accumulating unlimited resource wealth.

At this moment, a young man in a purple robe walked out of the gate and said to everyone, "Everyone, everyone who wants to participate in the Dan Dao Conference should come in with me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the gate.

So the crowd surged, and after the purple-robed young man, he came to a large and wide square, where several tables had been set up, and some young men and women who were also dressed in purple robes were sitting behind the tables, ready to register.

Then I heard the young man who led them in said, "Today is the first registration, and tomorrow the game will officially begin." The registration fee is 300 yuan stones per person. The number of people participating in the competition every day is 1,000, which means that tomorrow it will be 1 to 1,000 to compete here, and the day after tomorrow will be 1,000 to 2,000 to compete here, and so on, after ten days, we will post the list of winners in front of Yuxia Palace, okay, now the registration begins!"

Zhan Chen listened to his instructions, followed the flow of people, and found a random table to line up to register, and after waiting for processing, he finally got his jade medal for the competition, which read "Xu Shan, No. 2004".

"Is it the day after tomorrow? Zhan Chen then left Yuxia Palace and went back to his hotel to rest, and early on the morning of the third day, he came to Yuxia Palace again, only to see that the 1,000 people who participated in the competition were already waiting in line at the door.

As soon as the exam time came, a purple-robed young man walked out of it and shouted to the crowd, "Please come in with people from 2001 to 2200." ”

Zhan Chen's heart moved, and he followed into the gate of the palace, only to see that two hundred tables with a height of only fifty centimeters were already neatly placed on the square facing him, and a futon was placed behind the table for the contestants to sit.

The distance between each table is very separated, and there are nearly twenty meters apart from the front and back, left and right, just to avoid mutual interference and influence in the alchemy process.

At this time, the purple-robed young man said loudly: "Now start checking the jade plate!"

So, everyone walked up to him and handed him their jade medals to see. Then they sat down in the front seats.

When everyone was seated, a young girl came out from the side, with a tray in her hand and two hundred low-grade Qiankun bags on it, passing by each table and distributing them one by one.

The young man standing in front said again: "Everyone, please note that the Qiankun bag contains the exam questions and medicinal materials required for refining this exam, and you can start refining it as soon as you get the Qiankun bag, and the time of the exam is an hour, please master the time." ”

Zhan Chen took the Qiankun bag and saw that it contained a jade slip and more than twenty boxes of elixir, so he took out the jade slip and checked it, and it was indeed a fifth-order mid-grade pill pill, and it was easy for him to refine it.

But at this time, Zhan Chen encountered a small trouble, that is, he was worrying about whether he wanted to use the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace to refine this elixir.

Seeing that many people with lower cultivation than him had begun to refine, Zhan Chen gritted his teeth and made a decision: "There is no need to use the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace in the first level, I have to rely on my own strength to pass, this is also the best way to test the level I have reached now." ”

Thinking of this, Zhan Chen just took out an ordinary alchemy furnace and began to operate it skillfully according to the furnace control technique that Chu Danqing had taught him at that time, he had been alchemizing all along, and now after entering the state, the operation was even more fluid, and the whole process was completed in one go, but he had not successfully refined the pill in half an hour.

Open the Dan furnace, a spirit pill that exudes a five-color Dan halo flew out of it, Zhan Chen pinched it in his hand and put it in the jade bottle, and it was finally done!

At this time, Zhan Chen had the heart to carefully observe the alchemy level of those people around him, and found that their techniques were very ordinary, and his heart suddenly had a bottom: "It seems that my alchemy technique has unconsciously improved a lot under the teaching of Teacher Chu and the usual continuous alchemy practice, and now even if I don't rely on the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace, my level is estimated to exceed ninety percent of the people here." ”

There was no deviation in his estimation, of the two hundred people who participated in the assessment in the same batch as him, except for Zhan Chen, only one person had practiced the fourth-turn pill, and three had refined the third-turn pill, and the other alchemists had only the level of the first-turn and second-turn level.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen handed over the elixir he had refined with peace of mind, and went back to wait quietly for the results.

The preliminary competition on the tenth day passed quickly, and when it was time to release the list, Zhan Chen went to the red list of Yuxia Palace with other alchemists to take a look, and sure enough, he saw his name in the first line.

The people who did not advance were saddened and left Yuxia Mountain, and the thousand lucky people who advanced entered the next round of competition in the semi-finals, this time Zhan Chen drew No. 512 and was arranged for the second day of the semi-finals, and this time they also had to pay the material fee for refining the pill, which was a full three thousand high-grade yuan stones.

The semi-final refining was a six-pin pill, and Zhan Chen refined a five-turn golden pill and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

In the semi-finals, the seven-grade pill to be refined, the price of the medicinal materials naturally did not cost, and it rose to 100,000 high-grade yuan stones at once, but there was no alchemist who did not pay for it, because they knew that the value of getting a seven-grade pill pill pill was far more than 100,000 high-grade yuan stones.

On the day of the semifinals, Zhan Chen, like the last two times, still took the exam on the Yuxia Palace Square. Only this time, he paid more attention to the competitors around him than the last two times, because they were all elites who had been screened through two rounds and were likely to meet him in tomorrow's decisive battle.

However, soon the exam questions were sent down, Zhan Chen hurriedly concentrated and focused all his attention on refining the elixir, the content of the exam question was not difficult, it was to refine a water-attribute seven-grade top-grade elixir called the Ninefold Flower Dew Pill.

After studying the refining techniques of the pill in detail, he decided to do it, but at this time, he hesitated again, whether to use the ordinary Dan furnace to refine it like the previous two times?

Zhan Chen looked around, some people had already started to move, they were all skillful, and their fingers were like flying, so they thought: "It seems that it is time for me to be serious, and then release the water at this time, if I am accidentally eliminated, then the joke will be big." ”

The idea has been decided, he patted the bag, and took out the Nine Turns of the Flame Phoenix Furnace, the color of the Nine Turns of the Flame Furnace is orange and red, the carving is exquisite, it does not look like an ordinary product at a glance, Zhan Chen is the first time to expose it to everyone's eyes, and there are still some scruples in his heart.

However, now that he has a certain strength and the ability to protect his treasures, he is much bolder than in the past.

"Relying on the power of the Nine Turns Flame Phoenix Furnace, I'm afraid that I can refine the Nine Turns Golden Pill in the first stroke, which is a little too shocking, it seems that I will have to put some water later, as long as I can ensure that I can advance to tomorrow's finals, it is enough, otherwise I will become the target of public criticism, and I am afraid it will be detrimental to tomorrow's game." "Zhan Chen knows the importance of Zang Feng, and if he doesn't reach the most critical moment, he must not easily expose his hole cards!

So, he began to refine the elixir step by step, but he omitted steps in some details, and secretly asked Huang'er not to extract the essence of the elixir too thoroughly, leaving some impurities behind.

With the help of Huang'er, Zhan Chen is really like a tiger with wings, one step ahead of others to refine the elixir, when the lid of the furnace is opened, a six-colored elixir flew out of it, Zhan Chen grabbed it in his hand, and then spread out his palm, carefully observed, his heart was full of joy, it seems that his strategy has succeeded, at least the six-turn pill will not be as dazzling as the nine-turn pill!

Putting the pill into the jade bottle, Zhan Chen began to care about others again, and at this time, one after another, someone refined the pill, and most of the quality was between the third and fourth turns, which made him feel a little at ease.

However, the neutral region was indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and someone immediately refined the Five Turns Pill, and five or six appeared in succession.

In the end, there were two people who refined the six-turn pill, which means that their alchemy skills had actually surpassed Zhan Chen's.

Seeing this, he was shocked into a cold sweat in the morning, and he was glad in his heart, fortunately he chose to use the Nine Turns Yanhuang Furnace for alchemy, otherwise it would be very suspenseful to enter the finals.

At this time, all the people finished the exam, put the pills on the table, and waited for the examiner to collect them, only one of them was still unhurriedly controlling the fire.

Zhan Chen's eyes naturally focused on him, and he saw that he was about the same age as himself, and his appearance was handsome and straight, especially the purple robe was the same as that worn by the chief examiner, which was very conspicuous, and it seemed that he was very likely to be a person from Yuxia Palace.

At this time, his expression was cold and focused, and his hands were dazzling, pinching out a series of seals, although the speed was fast, but each seal was pinched very accurately, as if implying some kind of magical rhythm.

Everyone looked at him alchemy, but they felt as if they were watching a beautiful girl dancing on the ground, completely intoxicated.

Zhan Chen was the first to wake up from his fascination, but he was full of admiration for the young man's superb alchemy skills, and sighed to himself, and immediately his eyes focused on the other party's Dan furnace, which was covered in purple gold, and it was also carved with several simple and magical patterns, shining brightly, and it was obviously also a masterpiece.

"This young man's alchemy level is really high, and the Dan furnace looks different, so the grade of the elixir he refines will be-" Just as Zhan Chen was guessing, the purple-robed young man had completed the final steps of becoming a pill.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the lid of his purple gold pill furnace at the same time, and when the young man opened the furnace lid, a golden pill flew out of it quickly, flashing with a charming halo.

Everyone took a closer look, and they all let out an unbelievable cry: "How is this possible, it is actually nine-colored!"

Zhan Chen's heart also sank suddenly, his fierce opponent finally appeared, and tomorrow's decisive battle will be full of variables!
