Plus more!
ps: Today's winter solstice, don't forget to eat dumplings!
*******
He didn't bother to ask why, he finally had a kind heart, he wanted to comfort and comfort her, but who knew that this person was so heartless!!
Seeing Ji Nan's depressed face, Lin Xi explained with a smile: "That's because I know that the winner of the alchemy final in the foundation building period must be Ji Nan!" So, I'm not in a hurry at all, remember to give me the honeysuckle! ”
After speaking, Lin Xi entered the room in a flash, and closed the door for Ji Nan, who was stunned after listening to her words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the closed lacquered wooden door, Ji Nan grinned, he didn't expect him to be so powerful in Lin Xi's eyes!
I took two steps forward happily, only to remember that there doesn't seem to be my own room here, no, the one in the west chamber will be my own in the future!
*****
The time soon came to the day of the final of the alchemy.
And Xue Yi hasn't appeared since he left that day, and even Uncle Zhong doesn't know where he went.
And in the past two days, I don't know what happened, Uncle Zhong's condition suddenly deteriorated, if it wasn't for Xiaolan sealing his various acupuncture points in time and trapping the toxins in his body with a formation, Uncle Zhong would probably not be able to see the sun the next day.
Therefore, Xiaolan has been very busy in the past two days, not only to pay attention to Uncle Zhong's physical condition at any time, but also to worry about advancing at any time. I wanted to help Uncle Zhong refine the pill in advance, but who knew that Xue Yi also took the pill away when he left, and Xiaolan had not refined that kind of pill before, so he could only help Uncle Zhong temporarily suppress the toxins on his body.
In addition, Xiaolan has reached the Great Perfection of the Returning to Void Period, and it is not surprising that the last two days are the time for her to advance.
Lin Xi was a little worried about Xue Yi, since the two met, he had never disappeared silently like this for nearly two days.
In the end, Xiaolan couldn't look at it, she said: "Don't forget, Xue Yi is a descendant of the human race, he is born with coercion, even if he encounters a monk in the Tribulation Period, although he can't beat it, there is no problem in escaping." ”
Lin Xi nodded, and the anxiety in his heart finally dissipated.
Because Xiaolan wanted to help Uncle Zhong suppress the residual toxins in her body, there was no way to help her cultivate, and in the end, Lin Xi cultivated with Ji Nan.
What Lin Xi said to Ji Nan at noon that day was not perfunctory, Ji Nan's alchemy can be said to be the best among all the contestants, and it is not surprising that the honeysuckle is his.
And Lin Xi cultivated with him, Ji Nan also took care of her, Lin Xi benefited a lot, compared to Xiaolan and Xue Yi, Ji Nan cultivated with himself, and seemed to have more to say.
This morning, everyone was very busy, so only Lin Xi and Ji Nan went to the northern suburbs together, and Ji Nan stayed there on the pretext of helping Lin Xi cultivate since he stayed at Lin Xi's house that day.
Because the alchemy competition method is similar to that of the talisman, the layout on the square has not changed, the middle is a two-inch-high stone platform, and there are eighty tables on the stone platform, and there are eighty people who originally entered the alchemy finals, but there are more than the number of people in the talisman.
Not far below the platform were two long wooden tables, which were empty because Lin Xi had come early, and there were only two chairs behind them, and the monk in charge had not yet entered.
Lin Xi was standing in a daze by the audience at the bottom of the square, and suddenly felt a wind coming towards him from behind him, Lin Xi rotated half a circle in place without looking back patiently, and was about to avoid a white palm.
was about to slash back with a palm, who knew that Yu Guang saw that the person turned out to be Chen Jiao, the boredom on his face automatically dissipated, Lin Xi glared at her, Chen Jiao was not afraid at all, but walked over with a smile and hugged Lin Xi's arm and asked, "Are you better?" ”
Lin Xi blinked, he was very good!
Seeing Chen Jiao's annoyed eyes, she said helplessly: "I saw it all, you were helped out by Ji Nan that day!" ”
Oh, it turned out to be that day, Lin Xi's hands didn't tremble or itch anymore in the past two days, she almost forgot about it. So he said: "It's okay, it was an accident that day." ”
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't explain the reason for that day, Chen Jiao didn't ask interestingly, but looked at Lin Xi carefully and said, "It's okay, if you need anything, tell us." ”
Lin Xi nodded and thanked him.
Speaking of which, Lin Xi and Qi Zhi and Chen Jiao have not known each other for a long time, and even if they speak, they only have a short gap in the game, but both of them regard Lin Xi as friends, so Lin Xi also cherishes his friendship with the two.
At this time, after greeting a few familiar monks, Ji Nan also came over, and the four of them stood together and said this, and time passed quickly.
First, Lin Xi and other players entered, and Lin Xi saw that the same spirit grass had been placed on each table at some point, and the amount should be the amount of two furnaces.
Then the two monks in charge entered, and not long after they entered the square, another group of ten disciples entered, and behind one of them was a long table five zhang long, which was so long that it had to be placed perpendicular to the table on the table.
This disciple was very skillful in controlling the direction of the table, trying not to collide with the other tables, and quickly set up the huge long table.
Then he saw ten disciples standing in front of the long table equally, and took out a lot of spiritual grass and spiritual materials from the storage bag, and after they put them away, Lin Xi took a look at it, it was very complete, and basically put all the existing spiritual grass spiritual materials on the table.
The spirit grass and spiritual materials used in the alchemy finals were all provided by Lei Yanzong, but the Dan furnace was all used by himself, after all, if the Dan furnace did not take advantage of it, it would affect the quality of the pill.
A moment later, the middle-aged uncle monk sitting behind the table on the left with a pair of seductive narrow Danfeng eyes waved his hand, and all the contestants on the stage looked at him.
The middle-aged monk in Danfeng's eyes first glanced at the contestants majestically, but unfortunately the contestants on the stage did not feel the sense of majesty at all, but only felt that the eyes of the monk looking at people were very seductive, and several female cultivators were reddened when they were seen.
Then he may have realized that he had such a pair of eyes, and he really couldn't release his majesty, so he walked to the stone platform and said simply: "You all know the rules of the game, similar to the talisman final, the alchemy final is also divided into three rounds, the first and second rounds have the same questions, we call it the 'elimination round', the third round is proposed by the judges, and the contestants draw lots to answer the questions, this round is called the 'breakthrough round'." ”
After a pause, he continued: "There is no limit to the number of eliminations in each round, until the second round." This time, there is also a bye, and if you get a bye, you can go directly to the next round. ”
He pointed to the spiritual grass spiritual materials on the table next to him and said: "The spiritual grass and spiritual materials required for the finals are all provided by the organizer Lei Yanzong, if there is a lack of spiritual grass during the competition, you can go to the long table next to you to get it, but——"
Saying that, he glanced at the players in the field sternly, "It is not allowed to take the same spirit grass as the one on the table, once it is found, it will be eliminated immediately, and it is not allowed to participate in any abnormal finals in the future!" ”
Then he softened his expression and asked, "That's all I have to say, do you have anything else to ask?" ”
The players shook their heads in unison, what they should know and what they shouldn't know, their teachers have already inquired clearly, and casual cultivators like Lin Xi also have their own news channels.
"Then let's start the lottery!" As he spoke, he took out the hand behind his back, holding a tan stick in his hand.
He put the lottery holder directly on the table of a player next to him, signaling that the player could draw lots, such an easy-going posture, but the player was stunned, until the monk Danfengyan glanced at him again, he reached out and grabbed a stick, a very ordinary sign, so, unfortunately, it was not a bye. After that, he put the skewer back in the holder.
The other contestants also understood what the monk meant, and soon walked up, and after a while, eighty people were drawn, and there were always a hundred lots, and the probability was even lower, as expected, no one drew a bye.
After the draw, the red-eyed monk sat back on his chair and squinted at the players in the field, Lin Xi felt that his eyes were longer when he squinted.
After a few breaths, the chirping came as promised.
Another monk who was omitted by the contestants stood up, and for some reason, Lin Xi suddenly felt that he looked very imposing, although he looked ugly, cough, ordinary, but as soon as he stood up, he immediately focused the attention of the audience, and people couldn't help but stare at him.
"The topic of the first round is to refine a furnace of raw bone pills, and the requirements are, first, a furnace must produce at least four pills, and second, there must be at least two medium-grade pills in the finished pills. Let's go! After saying that, the monk threw out a stack of papers in his hand, and each piece of paper landed on a table, the number of papers was exactly eighty, and the monk threw the paper out and sat down with grace.
The contestants came back to their senses, thinking that although this monk was not good-looking, his momentum was still very attractive, thinking about it and glancing at the monk again, it was still the monk who was so ordinary that people didn't want to look at it again, rubbed his eyes, looked at it again, and suddenly felt that he must have been dazzled just now, and he would feel that the monk on the right was imposing or something.
Lin Xi was not in a hurry to take out the Dan furnace, she first picked up the paper in the middle of the table, and there was a Dan prescription on the paper, the Dan Fang of the Raw Bone Dan.
The Bone Pill is a medium-grade pill, and it is an elixir that is only suitable for refining in the Jindan period, except for the large amount of spiritual energy required and the more materials, the others are not very difficult.
Lin Xi had never come into contact with this elixir before, so she needed to memorize the various materials on the pill and the order of delivery, which took another half an hour.
After memorizing the content on the unilateral side, you can start alchemy, most of the people took about the same amount of time as Lin Xi, and the players took out their respective Dan furnaces one after another, but Lin Xi still used the furnace this time.
Preheat the stove with a flame, then follow the steps on the paper on the table to start pouring the spirit grass.
Most of the spirit grasses in this area have been used before, so they know the habits of each spirit grass, the appropriate temperature, and so on. Therefore, after a short time, the aroma of spiritual grass filled the field, one was faint, and the taste of more than eighty times became strong all of a sudden, and the monk in charge had to stand up at any time to disperse the smell.
Because there are only two chances, Lin Xi is extremely cautious, once he fails twice, the game can be directly out.
Lin Xi was just thinking about it casually, but when she reached the thirty-seventh spirit grass, she heard the voice of the Danfengyan monk ringing out in the field, "The one on the far left of the third row, eliminated!" ”
Lin Xi thought to himself, how long has it been, how can someone be eliminated, so he glanced distractedly, and saw that there were two identical perilla residues in this person's Dan furnace, it turned out that this person had unknowingly wasted two opportunities.
Lin Xi was even more careful, focusing all his attention on the Dan Furnace, always paying attention to the changes of each spirit grass, but fortunately, there was no mistake until all the spirit grass refining was completed.
Among the remaining materials, there is also a piece of wood attribute Neidan and a handful of demon beasts called Sumu, well, if I remember correctly, it should be a deep-sea silkworm chrysalis, not white, but showing a translucent light blue, which actually makes people feel that this insect has a little cuteness. In addition, there is the armor of the grouper, a small piece of ice from the Arctic glacier, and so on.
The rest of these materials are not very easy to refine, but fortunately, except for the deep-sea silkworm chrysalis, the other kinds of Lin Xi have experience.
I don't know if it's because deep-sea silkworm pupae have always been used less in alchemy, so the number of silkworm pupae given is at least five points, is this an experiment that makes the contestants energetic?
Lin Xi looked up at the hourglass in front of the stand, the sand in it was already half missing, and she didn't have time to worry about refining herself skillfully, it was still unfamiliar.
I grabbed a handful at random, and when I picked it up, it was a small piece of ice on the glacier in the far north.
Lin Xi was shaken by Bing's hand, and hurriedly threw it into the Dan furnace, turning up the flame in his palm to the maximum.
Don't look at it is just a small piece of ice as thick as paper, it can be taken from the glacier in the far north, even if it is put in the palm of your hand to warm up for a day, the ordinary flame of firewood burning can not melt a single bit, only this kind of flame containing aura can be slowly melted after a long time of burning.
In addition, this ice is squeamish.
When the ice melts into icy water, immediately reduce the temperature of the flame to a minimum.
Contrary to the high temperature required to melt ice, the water must be cold once it has been melted, because the boiling point of this ice water is extremely low, only 20 degrees Celsius, and once this temperature is exceeded, the water will be evaporated immediately.
All the previous experience will be in vain!
However, Xue Yi had taught Lin Xi a novice trick for refining Arctic Glacier Ice.
As long as vinegar is added to the refined ice, it will become glacial vinegar water after the ice melts, and when the temperature is too high, the first evaporation of glacial vinegar water is vinegar, and then ice water, with a buffer time, even novices can handle the ice of the Arctic Glacier.
However, Lin Xi doesn't need it now, she can turn this piece of extreme northern glacier ice into undiminished ice water even with her eyes closed.
