Chapter 2042: Competition
Some say that Xiao Chen doesn't know the height of the sky, some say that Xiao Chen is arrogant, and some say that Zao Wou-Ki bullies his juniors, and there are always all kinds of gossip flying all over the sky.
But Xiao Chen and Zao Wou-ki, who are the parties involved, have never responded to this matter.
Seeing that the days were approaching day by day, the people of Qiongyu Pavilion specially sorted out a venue for Xiao Chen and Zao Wou-Ki to try out.
The two of them are serious competitions, and they compare the quality and grade of the elixir, so when refining the pill, everyone needs to supervise together, so as not to do anything inappropriate behind their backs, that is, they are afraid that someone will cheat in the Linglong Tower.
And in this way, the original time is obviously not enough, but Xiao Chen's popularity this year is very high, either with the intention of making friends, or with the intention of watching the excitement, in short, there are quite a few people who pay attention to this matter, and the alchemists who came to participate in the exchange have no intention of leaving immediately.
It seems that they all want to see the situation of Xiao Chen and Zao Wouji's competition.
Zhao Ling didn't need to come to Fenghe City, she almost forgot that Xiao Chen had made a bet with her father in Ningyang.
It was only later that she heard Zao Wou-Ki tell Xiao Chen's true identity that she recalled the bet of the competition. It's just that Zhao Ling doesn't think that Xiao Chen is so powerful that he will win his father.
On the first day, when Xiao Chen went to the Linglong Pagoda to refine the elixir, Zhao Ling did not come to the Qiongyu Pavilion, but walked around Fenghe City, and later learned that Xiao Chen had broken through from the seventh grade to the peak of the eighth grade all of a sudden, and she was shocked.
After all, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever broken through as quickly as Xiao Chen.
In addition to being shocked, Zhao Ling was also a little jealous, she was also an alchemist, but she was far less talented than Xiao Chen, otherwise Zao Wou-Ki would not have been able to just use her as a tool to cultivate.
Sometimes, Zhao Ling even wonders, is there any magic weapon on Xiao Chen's body, if he gets Xiao Chen's magic weapon, will he become as talented as Xiao Chen?
Not to mention Zhao Ling, the alchemists present did not think much about this problem, after all, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it at all.
Everyone was speculating whether Xiao Chen had any secret magic weapon, otherwise how could he cultivate so fast?
When he saw Xiao Chen again, Zhao Ling wanted to be close to Xiao Chen, and stepped forward to greet Xiao Chen very affectionately.
"It's been a long time, when you were in Ningyang City, you did a good job of concealing your identity, we didn't even notice that you were the biggest dark horse in Sun Moon City this year. ”
Zhao Ling smiled Yan Yan, she was beautiful, just standing there, she could attract the attention of many people.
Many people who came and went saw her talking and laughing with Xiao Chen, and they were all speculating whether there was something about these two people.
Today is the day when Xiao Chen and Zhao Wouji compete in the trial pill, and he doesn't know what Zhao Ling is doing when he comes to play with himself at this time.
"Miss Zhao laughed, I didn't deliberately hide it, don't you all know the identity of the city lord of Wumeng Valley?"
It's okay not to say this, the smile on Zhao Ling's face was a little stiff when it came to this, at the beginning, their father and daughter were bent on getting the position of the city lord of Wumeng Valley and earning a little glory for the Zhao family, who knew that the little-known poor boy turned out to be the biggest dark horse at this year's Six Nations Festival.
If Xiao Chen had told them about Sun Moon City earlier, they wouldn't have done that kind of competition with Xiao Chen.
Zhao Ling was a little worried about Xiao Chen's strange methods, she always felt that Xiao Chen was a very incomprehensible person, and sometimes the more she felt that it was impossible, Xiao Chen would do it again.
If it weren't for the fact that the news of the competition had already spread, Zhao Ling couldn't wait to make Zhao Wouji regret it, after all, if Zhao Wouji lost, their Zhao family would be embarrassed, and the soul bell in her hand would have to be exported.
"City Lord Xiao is right, we didn't pay attention, the competition is about to start soon, I won't bother City Lord Xiao. ”
After Zhao Ling finished speaking, she left in a hurry, she didn't want to talk to Xiao Chen anymore, she always felt that she didn't take advantage of the slightest, but was choked by Xiao Chen again and again.
Xiao Chen watched her back disappear and hooked his lips silently.
The feud between him and the father and daughter of the Zhao family had already been concluded when he was in Ningyang City, Zhao Ling came to ease relations with him at this time, was he stupid or Zhao Ling himself stupid?
This Zhao Ling girl doesn't look like a stupid person, it seems that the other party thinks he is stupid.
Zhao Wuji is a low-level Dan Ling, and Xiao Chen is a high-level Lingdan, and there is only one grade difference between the two, but it is like a moat.
The seventh grade to the eighth grade of the alchemist is a hurdle, and some people may not be able to cross from the seventh rank to the eighth grade after working hard all their lives, and they will stop at the seventh grade alchemist for the rest of their lives.
And once you cross the eight-rank alchemist, you will reach another level, and there will be specific divisions, such as the three stages of the eight-rank are all spirit pill masters, the nine grades are collectively called Dan Ling, followed by the Danwang Danhuang and the like.
The Eight Grades are just equivalent to the first stepping stone, and after this stepping stone successfully knocks on the door of the Eight Rank Spirit Pill Master, the next road is a higher threshold than the other.
Even though Xiao Chen suddenly crossed from the peak of the seventh grade to the peak of the eighth grade, the three stages in the eighth grade all belong to the eighth grade, if Xiao Chen is genius enough, it is not impossible to leap in one step.
But if Xiao Chen wants to continue to leapfrog from the eighth rank to the ninth grade, it is another matter.
Just like the seven products cross the eight products, if you can't cross it, then there is no hope for a lifetime, if you can cross the past, there will be hope in the future.
So don't look at Xiao Chen and Zao Wou-Ki as just a grade difference, in fact, it is equivalent to a thick door.
However, because the grades of the two are similar, it is relatively simple when the question is asked.
This time, as soon as the news came out, the steward of Qiongyu Pavilion gathered all the distinguished guests and major alchemists who were invited this time, and implored everyone to choose the most suitable refining pill for the two to compete.
After half a day, everyone finally selected the most suitable pill for trial refining - Tianyuan Dan.
Tian Yuan Dan is a medium-grade spirit pill, suitable for refining by spirit pill masters and alchemists of Dan spirit grade, and the most important thing is that Tian Yuan Dan itself is difficult to refine, and it is necessary to be very precise and skilled in the alchemist's control of flames.
Xiao Chen and Zao Wou-Ki's grades are different, and it is useless to take the school test, only the quality of the school pill is the most useful.
When they decided which elixir to refine, the two did not hesitate, and soon came to the special place of Qiongyu Pavilion.
The people watching from the attic opened the windows one after another, staring intently at the two of them, the two standing opposite each other, the medicinal herbs were ready to be put aside, and there were even special stoves and tinders.
In order to prevent the results of alchemy from being different from the same as the furnace ding, all the tools are prepared by Qiongyu Pavilion, so as to ensure the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent.
The pill of Tian Yuan Dan, even if it is an eighth-grade alchemist, can refine the pill to the peak, and similarly, even if it is a nine-rank spirit pill master, or a Dan King, if the control of the flame is not precise enough, it may not be able to refine the top-level pill.
