Chapter 286: Amethyst Chalcedony
The law of survival of the fittest applies to any society, and the Four Holy Continents are naturally no exception.
If you want to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, there must be all kinds of battles, martial arts can be divided by fighting, and Dan Xiu relies on competition alchemy, and the once every ten years alchemy competition is their best battlefield.
During the race war, the important role of the pill has been revealed, and the alchemy culture has begun to prevail on the mainland, and Taoism is the well-deserved boss, and has maintained this advantage for hundreds of thousands of years.
The War of the Gods changed all this, when Taoism was expelled from the Ancestral God Star, the pill culture of the Bright World was almost devastated, a large number of exquisite pills were lost, almost all high-level alchemists fled with Taoism, and the entire continent was also divided into two, except for the pills secretly stored by several major forces, there was not even a single high-grade pill on the market.
That turmoil lasted for thousands of years, in the newly formed Ancestral God Continent, alchemy has become a myth and legend, the Four Saints Continent, because of the Four Saints, there are finally some peripheral disciples of Taoism who survived, and they became the originators of the later Dan sect.
After nearly a thousand years of dispersion, there are many Dan sects on the mainland, most of them claim to be authentic, and they are happy to fight for the ranking of the sects, and the attacks between the various sects also occur from time to time, and there are even those who fish in troubled waters to loot in the name of this, so that everyone in each sect is in danger, and they have to devote a large part of their energy to cultivating martial arts to ensure the safety of their own sects, and the development of the pill is delayed again.
In order to change this situation, the three major Dan factions of Dangu, Nanhuomen, and Qingyun Mountain, which had begun to take shape, jointly held an alchemy competition, calling on Dan to meet friends, rank by art, and restore the order of the alchemy world, which was approved by the vast majority of Dan factions, and it is said that nearly 3,000 people participated in the first alchemy competition, and it took a whole month to distinguish the high and low, which was also a grand event.
With the release of the sect rankings, there were many fewer cases of fighting between the various sects, and these Dan cultivators finally put their attention back on alchemy, as long as they won the ranking in the alchemy competition, the rich prizes were nothing, and the most important thing was to make a reputation.
Fame will bring great benefits to a Dan Master, not to mention that there are bigger sects to poach, and there are also more opportunities to contact high-grade Dan materials and refine high-grade Dan medicines, the benefits can be said to be endless.
That period of time was the golden period for the development of alchemy culture on the Four Holy Continents, and with the rise of the level of Dan masters, the Four Temples also released a part of the ancient Dan Fang in a timely manner, which were obtained by the Four Temples from Taoism during the War of the Gods, so batch after batch of famous Dan were re-introduced, and Dan Xiu's status was finally recognized, leaving Wu Xiu far behind.
Soon, however, new problems arose.
I have to say that the masters of the three major Dan factions at that time were really far-sighted people, and every competition, they would come up with extremely rare Dan materials as a reward, so as to attract more Dan masters to come to the competition, once they found excellent Dan masters, they would try their best to recruit them, but in more than a hundred years, they gathered a large number of excellent Dan masters, and when other sects found out that something was wrong, the three major Dan factions were able to achieve their wings and firmly occupy the leading position.
After more than 100 years of rapid development, the three major Dan factions have left the other small Dan factions far behind, and there is no longer any need to tap talents through the competition, because the talents are either invested in the three of them themselves, or they are simply cultivated by themselves!
So this alchemy competition has become a wrestling field for these three companies, and it doesn't matter what elixir they refine, what matters is who will win the first place!
Under the open and secret fighting, this alchemy competition not only did not disappear, but became more prosperous than before, and later, even the rules were changed, and it was still held once every ten years, but it was originally jointly organized by the three companies to be held in turns.
There may not be much difference between joint and rotational events for outsiders, but the difference between these three companies is great.
With the strength of the three major Dan factions, it is not difficult to hold an event alone, this is a great opportunity to show the strength of this faction, not to mention that the organizer can decide the content of the competition, this is a double-edged sword!
Everyone knows what it means to be robbed of the championship at your own doorstep, but you don't dare to do too much in the competition, the level of the prize can not be low, under several restrictions, this event has become a hot potato, it is really reluctant, it is still hot to take it, and the most important thing is that you can't admit it at all!
"This alchemy competition is held by Dangu, and I heard that the reward for the first place is amethyst chalcedony......"
He Chiyan rambled on a lot of the history of the alchemy competition, and finally revealed the fox's tail at the end, "Master Gu got the exact news, it was a piece of amethyst chalcedony the size of a human head, and it was very ......valuable."
Luo Tianqiang endured listening to his introduction, and only then did he understand what Gu Cheng wanted to do.
With He Chiyan's straightforward character, where did he do such a detailed job as inquiring about the news, ten out of eighty percent were Gu Cheng who wanted to tell himself through him, amethyst chalcedony, isn't that the most valuable of the pill materials needed to refine the Nine Dragons Pill?
"Master Gu said, everything is going well now that you entrusted him to do, Jin Dan has been almost tossed by him, but there are some things that can't be bought with money alone......"
He Chiyan is an honest man, if he wants to pass on the word, it is absolutely word for word, as soon as he says this, Luo Tian knows what the problem is.
Gu Cheng is an appraiser in the auction house, so he naturally has his own way, the Nine Dragons Pill is only a high-grade elixir, if ordinary people come to collect these pill materials, I am afraid that they may not be able to make up a set in their lifetime, but it will be much more convenient for him to do this.
After all, all those sellers want is money, and what he has the most is money, although his own family background is not much, but the gold pill is worth a lot!
But no matter where there are some things that belong to the level of non-sale, this amethyst chalcedony is one of them, the reason why he has not dared to take Luo Tian's work at the beginning is that he is worried about this!
Amethyst is the associated ore of fairy jade, where there is a fairy jade mine, there must be an amethyst mine, it also contains great energy, and some people even say that amethyst is a low-grade fairy jade at all, but the form is different, which can be seen that he is precious.
And amethyst chalcedony is even rarer, only in a large area of amethyst ore can it be found this thing, it is like a liquid amethyst, but the energy is stored more, almost similar to immortal jade.
If that's the case, amethyst chalcedony won't be too much valued, after all, immortal jade is valuable, but if almost half of the immortal-level pills have this thing, then there is no need to say how valuable it is!
"It turns out that the meat is ...... here"
