Unlike the group melee in the semi-finals of the talisman, the semi-finals of alchemy are not grouped, and all the players compete on stage together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Lin Xi entered the venue, he saw that the central square was full of raised stone platforms, which were only two inches high, with different serial numbers engraved in front of the platforms, and a brown and yellow futon was placed on each platform.

Lin Xi swept his eyes, there were ten rows of platforms, thirty in each row, and there were only three hundred seats. It seems that the number of applicants for alchemy is smaller than the number of people in Fu Zheng, and it is also that alchemy is much more difficult for immortal cultivators in the foundation building period (the demon clan is the transformation stage).

When Lin Xi came in, there were only a few people in the field, and she saw one hundred and twenty-one at the top of the fifth row at a glance, and Lin Xi sat cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes like the other people who arrived first.

After a while, more players entered one after another, and when they saw that those who arrived first were closing their eyes and recuperating, they were also learning the same, and no one spoke in the square for a while.

Lin Xi originally closed his eyes and was thinking nonsense, but who knew that he fell asleep. It wasn't until he was woken up by Chen Jiao that he realized that he was actually asleep while sitting.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lin Xi raised his chin at Chen Jiao and motioned for her to come over, and then asked quietly, "What time is it?" ”

Chen Jiao turned over the jade plaque hanging on her waist, and Lin Xi saw the glittering "One Hundred and Twenty" on it, uh, although the numbers were connected, it was a pity that one was in the first row and one was in the last row.

"Where's Qi Zhi?" Lin Xi didn't see Qi Zhi, who had always been inseparable from Chen Jiao, so he couldn't help but ask.

"He's number 11, and he didn't come here if he was too far away." Chen Jiao said and looked at the right rear, which happened to be in line with Qi Zhi's line of sight, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Xi smiled at him when he saw it.

When his gaze was withdrawn, Lin Xi saw several familiar figures, Han Yongjia, Zhuang Yan, Li Heng, and Cheng Biyang, although they were not very familiar, they saw it, and nodded to each other, which can be regarded as nodding friends!

Lin Xi looked at it casually again, but didn't see Ji Nan's figure, it should not have arrived yet, Lin Xi would not suspect that he did not participate in the alchemy competition, after all, his strength was there.

At this time, there are not many vacant seats in the field, most of the immortal cultivators have arrived, but the vacant seats behind Lin Xi have not yet come, and I don't know what kind of person it will be, as long as you don't disturb yourself.

Lin Xi was a little confused, Chen Jiao waved her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and asked, "What I just said, did you hear it?" ”

Of course I didn't hear it, Lin Xi couldn't say it so bluntly, he looked away with some weakness, and was about to say a tactful statement that he had finally come up with, when he saw the Lei Yan Sect monk in charge of this situation walking in with four disciples.

Lin Xi hurriedly raised his chin and said, "It's here!" Chen Jiao also followed her line of sight, and no longer pursued the question of whether she had heard it just now.

This time it was an old man with a smile on his face, but Lin Xi didn't think he would be able to speak better than the monk in charge of the Fu Qi scene, because this person's eyes were very sharp.

Sure enough, seeing that Lin Xi had been staring at the smiling monk in front of her, Chen Jiao lowered her voice in her ear and said, "Don't look at him smiling all day, in fact, Pingfeng Zhenren is the most difficult to deal with." So, don't mess with him! ”

Lin Xi nodded, and just as he was about to reply, he heard the smiling Pingfeng Zhenren in front of him cough twice, and the voice of the voice instantly resounded in the square, "The semi-finals of alchemy will start soon, please sit down according to the serial number!" ”

Chen Jiao pouted secretly, isn't this just talking about her again?

Lin Xi nudged her, "Go back to your seat!" ”

Chen Jiao stood up slowly and returned to his position slowly, fortunately, the eyes of this Pingfeng real person had shifted to other places, otherwise, Lin Xi couldn't guarantee that he would be angry when he saw Chen Jiao's behavior.

When there was still half an hour before the start, Pingfeng Zhenren explained the rules as usual, there is no limit to the variety and grade of the elixir, and it can be refined no matter how it is, but only the top 50 with the highest and most difficult grades can enter the finals, and each person only has one chance.

Therefore, many people have prepared several pill materials, but they are worried that they have prepared too simple and it is too late to find medicinal materials temporarily.

Well, this hasn't started yet, there are many people who ask their front and rear "enemies" which kind of pill to refine, and they can refine the more difficult one, although they don't know how difficult their pill is among the three hundred, but there is always more hope than their neighbors, isn't it?

Lin Xi is not as lively as other positions, it is extremely deserted here, there is no way, her position is the first, so there is no "ancient" before, the one sitting behind her has not appeared yet, and this is the one who has not come. Lin Xi could also leisurely fiddle with the Dan Furnace and Spirit Grass he had brought, without worrying about the harassment of others.

After a while, the four disciples brought by Pingfeng Zhenren got a long table out of nowhere, and there were various spirit grasses neatly placed on the table, each of which looked like there were about a dozen of them. For a while, there was a lot of talk on the field, and they were all guessing what this was going to do.

"Bell" twice, some disciples don't know what to knock, wait for the audience to be quiet, Pingfeng Zhenren nodded the spiritual grass on the table and said to the immortal cultivators who sat again: "The spiritual grass on the table is free for the immortal cultivators who are seated, if there is a shortage of spiritual grass, you can come up and choose at will now, after the competition officially starts, you can't choose." After speaking, he paused, pointed to the disciple standing next to him and said, "He also has a free Dan furnace here, if you need it, you can come and get it yourself." In addition, each person will be given a jade bottle next, which will be used to hold the elixir you will hand in today, and it will be handed over to these four disciples before it is over. ”

After finishing speaking, he asked the other three disciples to give each contestant a white jade bottle on the platform according to the serial number, which was engraved with the serial number corresponding to the platform and the logo of Lei Yanzong.

Lin Xi looked at the spirit grass he had placed on the table, all of them were bright green, as if they had just been picked, this was the best spirit grass that Lin Xi specially ordered in Baicao Hall for this competition, and the price was more than twice as expensive as usual.

As for the Dan furnace, Lin Xi used the Modu furnace given by Xiaolan, the original one in the space was too broken, and Lin Xi was also a little girl who loved face!

In this kind of official competition, everyone brings the Dan furnace that they are used to on weekdays, so no one goes up to receive the free Dan furnace, but there are many people who go up to choose the spirit grass, after all, the quality of the spirit grass on the table is still good, the better the material, the better the refined pill, this is a truth that everyone knows.

Therefore, alchemy is actually an industry that fights for money.

Of course, after completing the course, its money is also unlimited.

After the gust of wind has passed, there is not much left before the beginning of the chirping, and the one hundred and twenty-second number one hundred and twenty-two behind Lin Xi has not yet come, Lin Xi is a little anxious about this belated "warrior", this is the semi-finals, this master is too inappropriate.

When the beginning of the sound sounded, the "warrior" behind Lin Xi still did not arrive, this was the only vacant seat in the audience, Lin Xi thought, if he was lucky enough to see this person, he would definitely give him a big thumbs up.

Lin Xi retracted his messy thoughts, and preheated the Dan furnace first as usual, at this time, everyone took out the materials needed for alchemy, Lin Xi glanced at it casually, there were all kinds of things, refining everything, but it was still mainly the low-level pills that were most commonly practiced by monks in the foundation building period (transformation period), and only a small number of people were refining high-level pills that could only be refined by monks in the Jindan period (Dacheng period).

Like the Vein Protecting Pill that Lin Xi was going to refine today, no less than ten people also chose this elixir. The others are the Alchemy Golden Pill and the Transformation Pill.

In fact, the high-level pills that can be refined in the Jindan period are also limited, relatively speaking, the above three pills are the easiest to refine, and they are also the three types with a relatively high success rate for monks in the foundation building period (transformation stage). Therefore, as long as the immortal cultivator who has the ability to refine the high-grade elixir, it is no surprise that he chooses one of these three.

Among the three kinds of pills, Lin Xi's most proficient was the Pulse Guarding Pill, which was also the one she had practiced the most times and was most sure of succeeding today.

Since he was already able to skillfully extract the water attribute inner pill of the Cong Beast, Lin Xi honestly refined it in the normal order, first throwing in a fifty-year-old Mosu leaf, and after a small cloud of dark green transparent liquid appeared in the Dan furnace, Lin Xi controlled the aura to move it to the corner, and then proceeded to the next extraction.

Lin Xi was concentrating on refining various materials, and she didn't see a person she was familiar with coming in front of her—Ji Nan.

Thinking of the only empty platform in the audience, you know that Ji Nan is the "warrior" who dared to skip the semifinals, although he was nearly a quarter of an hour late, he couldn't see any anxiety on his face.

Pingfeng Zhenren watched this kid go straight to his position by himself, and couldn't hold back any longer, "cough-cough" twice, and successfully stopped Ji Nan's steps.

Ji Nan was still light and breezy before, and in a blink of an eye, he changed his eyebrows and smiled, and he was overjoyed, coupled with flattery. If Lin Xi raised his head at this time, he would definitely not be able to bear to look at it directly. Ji Nan smiled on his face, winked at Pingfeng Zhenren and said, "It turns out that you are in charge of this time, then it is really a fellow countryman to see a fellow countryman, you see, I am late, this is in a hurry, when I get off the field, I must invite you to have a drink, let's talk about the old days, how about it?" After speaking, the smile on his face became even bigger, and without waiting for Pingfeng Zhenren to speak, he said to himself, "Then I'll go first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the person was already blowing like a gust of wind, and in a blink of an eye, he sat on the stone platform, and raised his head and made a grimace at the five people in front.

The four Lei Yan Sect disciples watching from the side were all dumbfounded, this guy's skin is too thick!

Pingfeng Zhenren's raised right hand froze in mid-air, grinded his teeth, withdrew his hand, glared at the man, and cursed secretly, "This little rabbit cub!" ", but he didn't call Ji Nan back seriously.

After all, the conference has never had such a rule as "if you are late, you are not allowed to play", as a fellow countryman, I will give him this face.

Lin Xi didn't have time to worry about the lawsuit in front of him, his attention was all in the Dan furnace, when Ji Nan passed by her, he deliberately slowed down, but Lin Xi still felt a slight change in wind direction, because it didn't affect the spirit grass being refined in the Dan furnace, Lin Xi only frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart and he didn't pay much attention.

When Ji Nan passed, he had seen all the spirit grasses around the recent people, and he also guessed what kind of pill they were refining, and when he saw Lin Xi's, he had an expression that I knew.

The time given for the semi-finals of this event is just right, Ji Nan came a quarter of an hour late, and if he doesn't speed up, it will be difficult to complete it in a limited time. However, the pill he chose was neither the Pulse Protection Pill, the Knot Gold Pill, nor the Transformation Pill, but the Yuanyang Pill!

The Yuanyang Pill was no less than a nightmare existence for a Jindan Stage (Dacheng Stage) monk, because the chance of success in refining this pill was only one percent!

Not to mention the Jindan period (Dacheng period) monks, even if you just pull a monk in the god transformation stage (Vientiane stage), you may not be able to refine it at one time!

After seeing the spirit grass that Ji Nan took out, the Pingfeng real person in front couldn't help but scold again, "This rabbit cub!" ”

Was he playing in the semi-finals? He didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to successfully refine Yuanyang Dan at one time, where did this kid get so much confidence!

Thinking of the friendly relationship between the two families for so many years, he can be regarded as having a high regard for his juniors, so he tried his best to endure the anger in his heart, walked to him softly and said: "This is only the semi-finals, you don't need such an elixir, you can change it!" ”

Ji Nan didn't even raise his head, he packed up his things by himself, and after half a sound, he replied to Pingfeng Zhenren with a bright smile and said: "Thank you, but I have to refine it today, no matter how much you say, it's useless!" ”

Pingfeng Zhenren was angry by Ji Nan's words, if it weren't for the fact that the place was not suitable at the moment, he would have taught this rabbit cub a lesson for his friend.

Good things were said, but this kid still didn't listen to persuasion, Pingfeng Zhenren stroked the beard under his mouth, and left angrily.

Seeing that Pingfeng Zhenren was gone, Ji Nan didn't care, and sped up the movements in his hands, and after a while, bursts of medicinal herb aroma wafted out from the Dan furnace, and the spirit grass thrown into it also turned into a ball of crystal clear liquid, ignoring the sweat falling from his forehead, he didn't even move, and when the people in front and behind were about to fuse the various materials in the Dan furnace together, his refining was all completed.

When there was still half an hour before the end of the game, one after another players completed the pills, and the whole square was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

Lin Xi also opened the lid of his Dan furnace, and the high-grade pills in it were about to go out with the opening of the lid, Lin Xi stared at it tightly all morning, holding two white jade bottles in his hands, and grabbing the other hand in the direction of the pills, the seven round pills obediently came into her hands, three medium-grade and four low-grade, Lin Xi was quite satisfied.

One of the medium-grade pills was packed separately in the jade bottle with the serial number engraved, and the rest was packed in the remaining jade bottle.
