There were fewer and fewer alchemists competing in the square, and the originally dense crowd was slightly empty at the moment, leaving only a sparse small number of people distributed on the field. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Seeing this scene, Qiu Wancun on the stage also shook his head with a pity on his face.

"Why, so many people were eliminated in this first round, does Pavilion Master Qiu think that your question is too difficult?"

An old man in black robe on the side seemed to feel Qiu Wancun's actions, and couldn't help but say a little teasingly.

Brother Yuan Jiang said with a smile, alchemy is like cultivation, survival of the fittest, and the failure of these people can only show that their current alchemy level is not high enough. ”

A gentle voice came from the mouth of Qiu Wancun, who had a calm face, and then his eyes swept over the black-robed old man who was called Yuan Jiang, and said with a smile:

"I heard that Ling Lang Yuan Changhe has reached Danzun, and this time to participate in the conference, I'm afraid he is the champion!"

After speaking, Qiu Wancun's eyes couldn't help but glance at a man in Tsing Yi who was about thirty years old sitting behind Yuan Jiang.

"Hahaha, the dog is just here to meet and exchange some alchemy experience this time, and the champion is not what he can contaminate. ”

Although he said it politely, Yuan Jiang's face showed a look of imperativeness, as if the championship was already in their pocket.

Just as Qiu Wancun and the two were chatting, the hourglass placed on the table at the front of the platform, the sand grains in it fell with a bang, and there was not much left.

At this time, the remaining alchemists in the square had basically finished refining, and with a tired look on their faces, they were all closing their eyes and pranayama, recovering the energy consumed by refining the elixir before, waiting for the end of the competition.

Compared to the calmness of the rest of the people who had finished refining, Ouyang Ruoyi and Chen Long, who were beside Yan Wubian at this time, were both looking at Yan Wubian with anxious expressions.

Obviously, this first round of assessment is not a problem for the two of them, who are disciples of the Immortal Medicine Valley, to pass.

"The time is coming, Brother Boundless, why hasn't the refining been completed yet? It's impossible, with his strength, maybe the alchemy may not be successful, but if it is refined, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

Clenching his fists tightly, Ouyang Ruoyi muttered anxiously in his heart.

"Alas......!"

Chen Long, on the other side, glanced at the hourglass in front of him, and at this moment, the sand grains in the hourglass had slipped away, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Just when Chen Long and the others thought that Yan Wubian would definitely lose the qualification for the next round, Yan Wubian's eyes suddenly opened, and then his arm was raised, and a silver-white powder flew out quickly like a ribbon from the three-legged silver dragon Yanyang Ding, and fell into the jade bottle that suddenly appeared on the edge of the black stone table.

"Whew!"

A breath of turbid breath exhaled from his mouth, at this moment, Yan Wubian not only did not feel tired after refining the elixir, but felt that his mind was very clear, and one after another mysterious alchemy spirit decisions appeared clearly in the depths of his mind from time to time, and he had a deeper understanding of these alchemy spirit decisions taught by the Venerable Ten Thousand Medicines.

"Bell ......!"

At this time, the crisp sound of the bell rang in the square.

Qiu Wancun stood at the front desk, condescendingly looking down at the huge square, his eyes swept slightly, looking at the only one-fifth of the contestants left, nodded with a chuckle, and pressed his hands weakly. The square, which was originally a little noisy due to the end of the assessment, immediately quieted down.

"First of all, congratulations on standing in the square, it means that you have all finished refining the elixir, but this is not completely over, you still have to verify the purity of the elixir you have refined, before you can determine whether you can advance to the ....... ”

Qiu Wancun's slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears:

"Now, please wait in place, and our judges will start from the front, testing the elixirs you have refined one by one, in order. ”

As soon as Qiu Wancun's words fell, from the chair behind him, a white-haired old man in red immediately stood up and came to his side.

Seeing the old man in red and Qiu Wancun standing in front of him, under the old man in red, the young alchemist handed over the jade bottle in his hand a little nervously, and then looked at the old man in red with a worried face.

After opening the jade bottle and bringing the mouth of the bottle close to his nose and smelling it, the old man in red then poured a small pinch of silver-white powder into the palm of his hand, and then dipped a little of his finger into his mouth before he nodded and said with a smile:

"Exactly three times, passed, congratulations. ”

After speaking, he threw the jade bottle in his hand back to the young alchemist, ignoring the alchemist with a happy face, and the two old men in red immediately walked towards the next one.

"Three refinements, passing. ”

"Three refinements, passing. ”

"Yes, I actually reached four times of refining and passed the level. ”

"Second refinement, failure. ”

After going through several successful people, there was finally an unfortunate alchemist who retreated with a dejected face.

Yan Wubian thought that only the old man in red would inspect it alone, and the speed should not be very fast, but who knows, the old man's verification speed is getting faster and faster, and when he gets to the back, as long as he smells and looks, he can immediately judge the purity of the silver leaf of the fire tree, and it didn't take much time to complete half of the inspection.

"Three refinements, passing. ”

"Second refinement, failure. ”

"How is it possible, senior, are you mistaken, I have obviously refined this elixir three times. ”

At this time, a young man in gray who was sentenced to failure looked at the old man in red with a dissatisfied face and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, are you questioning my decision? Although your Fire Tree Silver Leaf has reached three refinements, it is only a fluke success, and the amount of impurities in it is not a little worse than that of other people who have refined it three times. ”

With a cold snort, the old man in red left the gray-clothed young man behind, ignored it, and walked towards the next alchemist.

"This, this ......!"

After listening to what the old man in red said, the young man in gray turned red with a handsome face, and just as he was about to speak, a frightened aura immediately blocked the sound he was about to make, and then, Qiu Wancun's voice immediately sounded in his ears.

"Boy, if you have any opinions on Elder Hong's evaluation, you can take the elixir you have refined and ask your elders to see if it is the same as what Elder Hong said. But you will step back for me now, and I will be entangled in it, and don't blame me for being rude to you in the name of disrupting the order of the conference. ”

Qiu Wancun's words made the gray-clothed young man who wanted to say a few more words couldn't help but be silent, he also knew that what Hong Lao said was actually very correct, but he was eliminated because the refining was not pure enough, and he was unwilling.

Sighing secretly, the gray-clothed young man immediately withdrew from the square.

As time passed, Hong Lao finally came to the place where Yan Wubian and the three of them were.

"Pass!"

Although he was very confident in the elixir he had refined, when the word "pass" came out of Hong Lao's mouth, Ouyang Ruoyi's heart suddenly relaxed.

After verifying Ouyang Ruoxuan, Hong Lao came to Yan Wubian's eyes, when he smelled the jade bottle in his hand, Hong Lao, who had been expressionless, finally changed his face at this moment, and hurriedly poured a little silver powder from the jade bottle and put it in his mouth, and after a while, an exclamation came out of Hong Lao's mouth.

"Seven refinements, clear!"

When Hong Lao, who was surprised, blurted out loudly the number of times the jade bottle elixir in his hand was refined, the alchemists in the square were stunned for a moment, and then they were in an uproar, and they all looked towards Yan Wubian with a shocked look on their faces.

As alchemists, they had just refined the same elixir, so they naturally knew how difficult it was to refine the Fire Tree Silver Leaf more than three times, you must know that among the people that Hong Lao had passed through before, there were only a few people who had reached the refinement of four times, but Yan Wubian had reached seven times, and the degree of difficulty was dozens of times greater than that of the four refinements.
