The bottom of Qingyuan Mountain was crowded with people, and it was black. There were two guards in front of the road, squeezing out a path for Shangguan Zhengtian.

"I'm a little curious about alchemy, so I'll stay here and don't bother you. Shangguan Zhengtian said to the two guards who opened the way.

"Well, if you tell the guards here about anything, just show the invitation and they'll say yes. "The two guards left after saying that, there were too many people here, there were not enough guards at all, and they had to go to help maintain order.

The Great Elder of the Chiyang Sect chose the successor of the Dan Dao, this matter is rare in a hundred years, and all the alchemists who heard about it rushed to this place. This is a grand event, bringing together countless outstanding alchemists in the surrounding area, so how many people can the Great Elder of the Chiyang Sect choose? So in addition to watching the excitement, there are more representatives of the surrounding forces in the crowd. Those who are not selected are their targets.

This is something that everyone knows, so some alchemists are not for the inheritance of the Great Elder of the Chiyang Sect at all, but just use this place as a platform to show their talents.

No one thought that under the mutual influence of the two, the Danhui of Qingyuan Mountain would become a grand meeting that was rare in a century.

Shangguan Zhengtian walked through the gaps in the crowd and finally stood in front.

The noisy and high-profile experience that has never been seen before has disturbed the mood of many alchemists, but even if it is brushed away by nearly half, there are still hundreds of people left.

Everyone also knew that they had interfered with the game, and the noise was much quieter, and Chen Yuning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had wasted too much energy to keep his mood in the past, so progress had been slow.

A sullen breath came out in his heart, Chen Yuning's eyes also deepened a little, and his hands became more and more calm.

Shangguan Zhengtian also had an understanding of the matter of alchemy, although he was not thorough, he also knew some depths, and when he saw Chen Yuning's posture, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart, he really had some means to be so arrogant.

When Shangguan Zhengtian was looking elsewhere, he suddenly noticed that someone was about to line his shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw a person sneakily raising his hand, preparing to take a picture.

"Haha. The man sneered, "Hello." ”

The handsome young master in white clothes, but with a very incompatible smile on his face, his aura was like a negative dragon elephant, Shangguan Zhengtian glanced at this person, frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

At this time, another person emerged from the crowd: "Shangguan Zhengtian, we have admired you for a long time, it is really a blessing to meet you here today!"

The man's voice gathered into filaments, and no one fell into the ear. Shangguan Zhengtian couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the man, dressed in gray, similar in age to the person in white, and his expression was very exaggerated.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Shangguan Zhengtian asked.

The man in white showed something in his sleeve, and Shangguan Zhengtian looked at it fixedly, and it was actually the corner of the invitation.

The white-clothed young man had a smile on his face, hooked his hand at Shangguan Zhengtian, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Shangguan Zhengtian raised his eyebrows, glanced at his invitation, and then followed.

The two stopped at the periphery of the Danhui, which was also the periphery of the crowd.

"How do you know my name?" Shangguan Zhengtian didn't get too close to the two laughing guys.

"I don't know your name, I guess it's weird. The young man in white raised his forehead and sighed, "Let me introduce myself, this is my friend, Mu Liangheng, my name is Bai Yanzhi." ”

Seeing that Shangguan Zhengtian didn't react, Bai Yanzhi continued: "Yesterday, my friend and I were thinking of coming over to join in the fun, but suddenly someone sent two invitations over. ”

As he spoke, the two of them each took out their own invitations.

Shangguan Zhengtian didn't care about the invitation, but just asked out loud: "The Bai family in the capital of the Great Cloud Country?"

Bai Yanzhi laughed: "It is said that Shangguan Zhengtian walks in the wilderness and ignores people's feelings, it seems that the rumors are false." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian shook his head slightly: "Your Bai family's reputation is too famous, even if you walk in the wilderness, you have heard of it from time to time. What about this one?" said Shangguan Zhengtian and looked at Mu Liangheng.

"The orphans in the mountains and wilderness were raised by my master alone, and they are not as good as the Bai family and the Shangguan family, so don't mention it. Mu Liang waved his hand horizontally.

"Don't look at it, he won't say it. I asked him how many times the name of the master was called, and his teeth were tighter than Wang Ba, and he didn't even mention a word. Bai Yanzhi saw that Shangguan Zhengtian was still looking at this fungus, and his face couldn't help but show a helpless look.

"I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?" Shangguan Zhengtian returned to the original question.

"Don't you wonder where the invitation for the two of us came from?" Bai Yanzhi asked.

"It's Li Shouyu. Shangguan Zhengtian said, "It's normal for the invitations to be selected and distributed by the big disciples of their sect. ”

"That's right, it's normal. Bai Yanzhi held the invitation in his hand and said with a smile: "But there shouldn't be a vague atmosphere in the invitation." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian bowed slightly, didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the Danhui test venue.

"What does this mean?" Mu Liangheng looked at Shangguan Zhengtian who was leaving, and asked Bai Yanzhi.

"I don't know, but looking at his appearance, I should have noticed the cattiness in the invitation. Bai Yanzhi groaned softly, "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

"Are you stupid, since you know that there is a problem, go straight away. What are you now? Hit the south wall with your head, jump into the dung pit blindly?" Mu Liangheng gritted his teeth.

"Well, you can't say that. Bai Yanzhi shook his head, "It's so boring to go directly." My life in the past ten years has been as dull as a stream, and I don't want the future to be so dull, such life is no different from death. ”

Mu Liangheng rolled his eyes and didn't speak.

The grand gathering in the center of the crowd continues, and alchemy is never a simple thing, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Time has passed an hour, even if Chen Yuning has just neutralized many medicinal materials together, the following things are more boring and boring, and they also test the state of mind more, this is the most direct judgment of whether an alchemist is good or bad.

Since the first batch of people were brushed off, no one has been eliminated until now.

Someone on the side explained to those who watched the excitement: some of the people who were eliminated in the first batch were not good at technology, and many were because of the sudden change of environment that affected their mood. The rest of these people are all adapted to the environment here, and although the step of neutralizing medicinal materials consumes energy, it is the basic skill of every alchemist, so it is not uncommon for no one to eliminate them.

Chen Yuning breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed his mind a little, and prepared for the more boring things below. At that moment, he saw a man busy. Unlike others, this man is so skillful in his movements that every movement has a natural charm.

It was natural, Chen Yuning's mind suddenly popped up with such a word, he couldn't help but focus his eyes on that person, and found that the person's progress was one point faster than his own.

Chen Yuning retracted his gaze, his eyes a little solemn, but this did not shake his mind: on the way to alchemy, someone convinced him, but he would never be here.

There were many people sitting on the stage, and the old man in the center was the Great Elder of the Chiyang Sect. At this time, Li Shouyu hurriedly walked over from below, leaned against the old man, and said, "Great Elder, it has been ascertained that person is from the Seven Star Pavilion. ”

The old man shook his head slightly and said softly, "Don't pay attention. ”

Li Shouyu couldn't help but feel a little restless: "Great Elder, that person's alchemy ability is far superior to ordinary people, if he really gets the first, do you really want to give him the inheritance?"

The old man laughed slowly: "Shouyu, you are too young and pay too much attention to your face. ”

Li Shouyu sighed in his heart, he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to go back to his place and sit down.

Time passed, the sun turned from east to west, no one had opened the furnace, many people who watched the excitement dispersed a lot, and the surrounding area was no longer so crowded.

Chen Yuning regained his mind and put all his energy on the fire, and every time the flame churned and beaten, he carefully controlled it.

The evening breeze blew, and the fireworks shook with it, and the sudden wind made many people curse in a low voice, and then packed up the Dan furnace and went straight to the outside, but it was soon surrounded by many forces waiting around.

However, with a gust of wind, the number of people was actually reduced by half, and the number of alchemists left in the field at this moment was less than two hundred.

Chen Yuning breathed a sigh of relief slightly, fortunately he reacted in time, otherwise this day's hard work would have been in vain. With a thought, Chen Yuning quietly intensified the fireworks.

It was getting dark, more people were leaving, and the wind was a little stronger. Just when Chen Yuning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, someone next to him slapped the Dan furnace and shouted in his mouth: "Get up!"

The incense of Dan was pervasive, the clouds avoided the moon, and a thumb-sized pill jumped out of the Dan furnace, and the next moment it was detained into the jade bottle by the man.

Chen Yuning was startled by the man's low cheer, and almost lost his proportions, but fortunately, there was no danger, and the pill was also successfully baked.

There are many people around who look angrily at the first person to finish, if there is a deep hatred, that person screams how many people's hard work, it is simply intentional.

But everyone had no choice but to watch him hand the pill forward, and Chen Yuning could only follow him.

After the refining pill was handed over, the two of them were led aside by the guards to rest.

"The two masters have worked hard, this is a specially prepared rest place, 20,000 to rest for a while, and the results of the first round will not be determined until the end of the more than 100 people. The guard said as he bowed down in front of the two of them.

"You know the rules, so go about other things. Chen Yuning waved his hand to let the man retreat.

Another hour passed, and the night was already dark, and the remaining more than 100 alchemists could be regarded as completing the refining of the pill one after another. Removing the failures among them, sixty-seven jade bottles were finally placed in front of the Great Elder.

"Great Elder, the first round is over. Seeing that the old man seemed to be asleep, Li Shouyu called softly on the side.

"Hmm......" The old man yawned and finally woke up, glanced at the less than 100 bottles on the table, and wondered, "That's it?"

"yes, that's all there is to it. Li Shouyu responded.

"Ah......h Then he uncorked the remaining sixty-two bottles and sniffed them, picking out eighteen of them.

"These twenty-three bottles are not up to standard. The old man threw the jade bottles aside.

There were forty-four bottles of the remainder, and the old man poured one of the pills into the palm of his hand and observed them, and finally took out ten bottles from them.

"Just these ten people?" asked Li Shouyu.

"Just them. The old man closed his eyes again.
