Chapter 60: Trouble
After walking for about a stick of incense, the line of sight in front suddenly widened, and a huge field was built, surrounded by a wall, and the middle area was about thousands of square meters, which could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
To be invited to watch are all big names in Chancheng, and they arrived early.
The venue has been divided into areas, which are divided into viewing area, nondan area, and referee area.
There are three old men sitting in the first row, the referee sent by the General Cabinet, and the old man in the middle has reached the age of the sixtieth year, with white beards, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his whole body exudes a strong charm of fairy wind and bones.
A nameplate was placed in front of each person, with their names and details written on them.
The old man on the left is called Sang Yan, a three-star alchemist, who works as an alchemist in the general pavilion.
The old man in the middle of the sixtieth armor is extremely famous, the four-star chief alchemist of the General Pavilion, known as the spear master, as for his real name, he has long been forgotten.
Four-star alchemists are rare, looking at the entire Great Yan Dynasty, there are only a handful, and the juniors who came to participate in the Dan today are the best, but the three-star alchemists are already ahead of many older generations.
Master Huo has lived for most of his life, but he is only a two-star alchemist, no wonder he has always coveted Liu Wuxie's Heavenly Spirit Pill refining method, as long as he masters it, he can be promoted to a three-star alchemist.
The old man on the right is called Zhou Xinsheng, who is also a three-star alchemist, and they have a very high status, and this time the three of them are in charge.
In the second row sat the pavilion masters of the major sub-pavilions of the thirty-five cities, and sat the first pavilion master from Pingling City, Shangguan Cai.
The second is from the host Chancheng Pavilion Master - Li An.
The third place is from Huacheng, the pavilion master - Wang Hongcai, Zuo Hong represents Huacheng, and won the third place last year.
In turn, there is the master of Yingcheng Pavilion - Che Jiajun, the master of Wucheng Pavilion - Ke Wen, the master of Ningcheng Pavilion - Mo Shidao, and Du Mingze is from Ningcheng.
has been ranked to the last place, the master of Canglan City Pavilion - Bi Gongyu.
Thirty-five pavilion masters, ranking in the top five obviously higher status, the bottom of the cabinet masters came forward to say hello, very enthusiastic.
As for Canglan City, it has been lined up in the corner, and the lower the ranking, the more biased the position you sit, this is a traditional rule, and there is no emotion to talk about.
If you want to get a higher position, the sub-cabinet must make a lot of achievements, and the Dan is just a medium to test the overall level of each sub-cabinet.
The third row sat all invited guests, the patriarchs of several major families in Chancheng, who came to observe, and some powerful masters, all of whom were invited.
There are five people from the mad family, the patriarch, the eldest elder, and the second elder have come one after another, and there are two juniors, one of them, I saw yesterday, the young man in white who was with the mad elder, this person should not have a low status in the mad family.
"Second brother, is that the fake painting that kid found?"
Crazy Qiu's eyes fell on Liu Wuxie, what happened in the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce yesterday had already been reported back to the mad family, and after many investigations, the source of the matter was finally found.
A hundred miles away from Chancheng, in a Lifang town, lurks in a counterfeiting den, they specialize in making fake paintings, selling them at low prices, and earning high profits.
Overnight, he was uprooted by the madman.
"Homecoming, this is the man!"
Furious Zhan hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.
"It's the first time I've met such a young alchemist, and I hope he won't disappoint us today. ”
The annual Danbao Pavilion Dan Conference attracts the attention of countless people, who don't want to see it.
This year, it was Chancheng's turn for them to have a chance to see the prosperous era of Dan.
"He'er, what do you think of this person?"
Crazy Qiu asked the white-clothed young man on the right, wanting to hear his opinion, he was also there yesterday.
"Returning to my father, this person looks very young, but he is old and heavy, and he is reasonable, although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, his heart is very mature, this person is not simple, and the child is not as good as him. ”
This is the answer given by Wild Age, although he didn't say a word yesterday, Liu Wuxian's every movement and expression, he recorded them all and came to a conclusion.
"You can realize your own shortcomings, be happy for your father, learn from each other's strengths, and make up for your weaknesses, which is the way of cultivation, and you should not be arrogant, you are already far ahead of your peers. ”
Crazy Qiu is very satisfied with his son's answer, the next generation of the crazy family, Crazy He is the best at painting, he has shown a strong talent for painting since he was a child, he is only a teenager, and he paints a picture scroll containing will, although it is not the will of martial arts, but it should not be underestimated.
There were about 200 people sitting in the viewing area, whispering and guessing who would win the championship this year.
"It's the annual Danbao Pavilion on Dan Conference, held in Chancheng this year, first of all, on behalf of the General Pavilion, I would like to thank the Lord of the Pavilion, arrange the venue, busy before and after, thank you!"
A middle-aged man walked out, and his voice was extremely penetrating, spreading to every corner, and the entire venue was instantly quiet.
"Deacon Hua is polite, this is what we should do. ”
Li An stood up, arched his hands into fists, and thanked everyone for their support.
"Let's not talk nonsense, my name is Hua Xingquan, the little deacon of the General Pavilion, in charge of this Dan Conference, invite forty alchemists to enter the venue, there are a few more new faces this year, I will talk about the rules in a while." ”
Liu Wuxian and the others walked into the venue, and a total of forty tables were placed, and on each table was a box more than a foot high, with a seal, which should contain elixir.
Canglan City ranked 35th last year, and the tables were arranged near the edge of the venue.
On the first day, they tested their ability to distinguish medicines, not only to write the names, years, and effects of these elixirs, but also to configure a pill recipe with some rare elixirs, and configure the pill recipe on the spot, I'm afraid that a four-star alchemist can't do it.
First of all, we must understand the character of the elixir, each elixir has its own attributes, some attributes are yin, some are yang, and they will only fry the furnace if they are matched randomly.
"As in previous years, on the first day of medicine, each of you will put forty-five elixirs in the box, the same year, the same medicinal effect, some you may know, some you may not know, these are new varieties carefully cultivated by the General Pavilion, you must identify their medicinal effects and years within three hours, full score of one hundred, guess a elixir correctly to get one, a total of forty-five points, configure the Danfang, get the remaining fifty-five points. ”
The rules are very simple, one point for guessing an elixir correctly, a full score of one hundred, and throughout history, no one has ever scored a perfect score, and the highest score is seventy.
Forty-five kinds of elixirs are all known, and half of the pill is configured.
Before coming, Liu Wuxian carefully read the rules of the Dan.
"Deacon Hua, I have something to say. ”
Suddenly, Yun Lan stood up and interrupted Hua Xingquan, and everyone's eyes focused on Yun Lan.
"Cloud Pavilion Lord, please speak!"
Hua Xingquan made a gesture of invitation, and if there was any objection, he could raise it.
"Every year, Danbao Pavilion holds the Dan Conference, which is a very sacred thing, but there are some people who are indiscriminately filling up the number and bringing all kinds of garbage over, which seriously lowers the character of the Dan Conference, and I suggest that this person be cleaned up, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Danbao Pavilion. ”
Yun Lan was full of passion, her eyes pierced Liu Wuxie, yesterday the apprentice was slapped in the face by him madly, and the master lost face together, how could this matter be stopped.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar!
The fake painting turmoil has already spread throughout Chan City, and Xiao Mingyi of the Boundless City spent one million gold coins to buy a fake painting, which was debunked on the spot.
"Yun Lan, you are talking nonsense, Danbao Pavilion on Dan Conference, everyone is learning from each other, Dan has not yet begun, you are untrustworthy, it should be you who tarnishes the reputation of Danbao Pavilion. ”
Bi Gongyu stood up with a bang, and what he said just now was clearly aimed at Canglan City.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll know in a moment, do you dare me to ask him a few words. ”
Yun Lan let out a sneer, his right hand pointed at Liu Wuxie, the discussion had not yet begun, the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, and the other pavilion masters were a little indifferent, and some let out bursts of ridicule.
was slapped in the face yesterday, but not only Xiao Mingyi, but also Wan Yichun on behalf of Pingcheng, Xue Qiu on behalf of Meicheng, and Du Mingze on behalf of Ningcheng, who were all present at the time.
Liu Wuxian stood in the corner and suddenly pointed at him, causing him to be stunned for a while, and then he understood.
Hundreds of eyes gathered on Liu Wuxie alone, including thirty-nine alchemists, gloating, mocking, and curious......
"The Cloud Pavilion Lord has something to ask me, and the juniors should obey it. ”
Liu Wuxian didn't have any anger on his face, and bowed slightly, making many people stunned.
"This kid is really calm, the next words of the Cloud Pavilion Lord are obviously going to make things difficult for him, just ignore him, and really deprive him of his Dan identity. ”
The viewing area is communicating in a low voice, at this time, you should pretend to be stupid and stunned, and answer Yun Lan's question, which is equivalent to falling for his tricks, and you must try your best to make things difficult.
Bi Gongyu wanted to stop it, but it was too late, although he believed in Liu Wuxian very much, and was questioned in public where he was placed in Canglan City.
"First question, how old are you this year. ”
A very simple question, which surprised everyone, thought that he would have to test his alchemy and make him ugly in public.
"Just turned eighteen!"
Bent down slightly, answering Yun Lan's question, neither humble nor silent, making many people show a trace of astonishment, the eighteen-year-old alchemist, it seems that the Great Yan Dynasty has not been born yet.
"Have you ever read the Hundred Grass Scripture and the Shennong Grass Scripture?"
These two scriptures contain countless kinds of elixir knowledge, if you can understand them all, you can know the medicinal materials on the market nine times out of ten.
"Nope!"
Liu Wuxian hadn't even heard of it, and replied very bluntly, this answer was beyond everyone's expectations, and they looked at him strangely, many of them alchemists, showing a touch of ecstasy.
The Hundred Herbs Sutra and the Shennong Grass Sutra, two books that every alchemist must read before apprenticeship, and they have to memorize them, Liu Wuxian has never read them, what are you kidding.
"Have you seen it, this is my question, let me ask all the alchemists present, what are you doing at the age of eighteen, you should still be an apprentice in the alchemy room, reading all kinds of elixir books every day, trying a hundred herbs, I said that this person is indiscriminate, and should be expelled from the venue to set an example. ”
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Yun Lan's mouth, as he expected, Liu Wuxian really hadn't read the elixir books, let alone tried the herbs.
Many people nodded one after another, although Yun Lan's words were a bit excessive, but they were not unreasonable, including the spear master, when he was eighteen years old, he was still an alchemy boy.
Alchemy is not an overnight effort, first understand the elixir, try the elixir, you need to follow the alchemy day and night, and learn experience from failure after failure, even so, not every alchemy apprentice can become an alchemist.
The words aroused the approval of many people, including the top few sub-pavilion masters, who agreed with Yun Lan's suggestion.
I haven't read the Baicao Sutra and the Shennong Grass Sutra to come to the Dan Conference, which is an insult to Danbao Pavilion.
