The first game of the Danji competition is a knockout round, which is mainly to test the basic skills. The medicinal materials given by the Alchemy Guild are all commonly used third-level medicinal materials, and the pills need to be refined within the specified time.

Considering that Cheng Dan is not easy and the failure rate is high, each contestant is equipped with three pairs of medicinal materials. If the three pairs of medicinal materials can't refine the pill, they will naturally not be able to enter the next round of the competition. Especially in order to prevent the contestants from stealing beams and changing pillars, the Alchemist Guild also made special treatments on each pair of medicinal materials.

In normal times, with a sufficient supply of medicinal materials, almost every contestant present would be able to refine a third-grade elixir. However, firstly, the atmosphere at the scene was different from the past, and secondly, the three pairs of medicinal herbs really could not withstand too many failures. Therefore, with a sigh, there are constantly contestants who leave the stage with a gloomy face.

As the bell rang for the end, there were only about five hundred people still on the field. Even among these five hundred people, there are still some who have not finished refining the elixir.

It is said that after the elimination round is over, it is time for the host to announce the results. However, the Supreme Elder, who had previously claimed to supervise the competition, had not yet arrived. This made the atmosphere on the field suddenly awkward.

For this unreliable Supreme Elder Ling Yi, Fang Shan and Xie Tian didn't dare to say anything. Fortunately, there was a host they had prepared, but seeing that the situation was not right, the host came up to the stage and said loudly:

"Elder Taishang has something to do temporarily, and I will take over for the time being. I declare that this is the end of the knockout round, and the losers are invited to leave the field on their own. After we identify the elixir, the rest will be ranked according to the grade, and the top 100 will enter the next round of promotion. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw several old men dressed as elders walking over and examining the pills in everyone's hands one by one.

I have to say that most of the alchemists who stayed on the scene were not ordinary people, and a considerable number of the pills they refined had reached the top grade, and Ye Feng and the black-robed man had even refined the best pills! This made almost everyone gasp, and their eyes were a little burning when they looked at the two of them.

Of course, Duan Yun was not among these people, and his three pairs of medicinal materials had refined a medium-grade pill, a top-grade pill, and a peerless pill respectively. However, he did not take out all the pills at one time, otherwise this achievement would have caused a great sensation.

"Please show your elixir. An old man walked up to Duan Yun and said.

Duan Yun solemnly took Zhongpin Dan in his hand, as if he was holding a treasure. This action immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"I thought it was a high-grade pill that had been refined, it was so deep, it turned out to be just a medium-grade pill. It's just a shame to bet with me on this basis. Ye Feng sneered.

"The medium-grade pill is already ranked after a hundred, so please leave quickly!" Seeing that the contrast between the pill Duan Yun took out and his actions was so huge, the old man also frowned.

"I'm sorry, I think I got it wrong. Originally, I wanted to take this one out, but a small mistake made everyone laugh......" As he spoke, Duan Yun took out the best pill.

"This ......" Looking at the Superb Pill in Duan Yun's hand, the smile of the person who had laughed at him before suddenly froze on his face.

"Hmph, so it's a trick, even if it's the best pill, it's just barely worthy of being my opponent. Ye Feng's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver.

"Since it is the best pill, it is naturally qualified to enter the next round. Then you stay. After checking that there was no problem with the elixir, the old man glanced at Duan Yun again and walked towards the next contestant.

In the end, Duan Yun still didn't take out the superb pill. After all, as long as you can enter the promotion round, if you perform too prominently at this time, you will inevitably put yourself on the cusp, and there is no benefit.

The final result finally came out, and in addition to Ye Feng, Hei Pao, and Duan Yun who entered the qualifying round, Fang Jun and Xie Tai were also among them. Especially Duan Yun unexpectedly saw Zhang Yue among the people who stayed!

Zhang Yue originally wanted to come over and share his joy with Duan Yun, but was stopped by Duan Yun's eyes. The reason why Duan Yun didn't say goodbye at the beginning, he naturally knew it. Therefore, at the moment, Zhang Yue didn't want Duan Yun to be distracted by his group.

There is an hour's break between the two rounds to replenish the mental energy lost by the contestants. For Duan Yun, this loss is nothing. However, in order to be insured, he still took an elixir to restore his mental power, and while refining, he observed the black-robed man.

The black-robed man sat there with his eyes slightly closed, like an old monk who had entered the meditation, and did not make any unusual moves.

Duan Yun couldn't find anything from him for a while, so he simply took his gaze back. However, at this moment, he felt a powerful spiritual force locked on him.

The strength of this spiritual power was something that Duan Yun had only seen in his life, and it even made him feel powerless.

Is it the black-robed man? No, if it were him, he would never have come out of his eyes when we first met. So who could this spy on him be? Duan Yun was puzzled.

Fortunately, this spiritual power was not malicious, and after staying in Duan Yun's body for a while, it quickly retreated, which made him feel at ease.

The natural one who spied on Duan Yun was Supreme Elder Ling Yi.

Duan Yun's previous teasing of everyone caught his attention. Looking at this naughty child, Ling Yi was moved by his childlike heart, so he released a wisp of spiritual power, originally just wanted to make a joke with Duan Yun and scare him, but unexpectedly, this unintentional act made an unexpected discovery.

Because Ling Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that the breath on his old friend that he had felt earlier came from this child named Duan Yun!

"Duan Feng, Duan Yun, it seems that this time it shouldn't be wrong. Seeing that his hard work was not in vain, Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He resisted the urge to go to the ring and continued to observe Duan Yun's every move. He also wanted to see how far his old friend's descendants had grown.

Duan Yun naturally didn't know this, he had already finished adjusting at this time, and together with the rest of the contestants, he was waiting for the start of the second promotion match.

Unlike the knockout round, the qualifier mainly focuses on the contestants' understanding of the prescription.

The materials needed for this game are still provided by the Apothecary Guild, and although the medicinal materials they give are the same for everyone, it is absolutely impossible to refine the known elixir. Because these herbs are one or two less than those on the known pills. And if there is a lack of a medicinal material in the alchemy process, the medicinal properties cannot be reconciled, and naturally it cannot become a pill.

Therefore, if you want to successfully refine the elixir, you need to be very familiar with various medicinal materials and find some substitutes from them. However, each medicinal material has its own characteristics, so after mixing with other medicines, the medicinal effect is bound to be different from the original pill, and of course it can no longer be named after the original name.

In other words, this qualifier is actually to see if the contestants can create something on the basis of the original Danfang. If the alchemist only knows how to repeat the experience of his predecessors, then the industry will inevitably decline. Therefore, it is understandable that the Alchemist Guild uses this ingenious way to assess.

"Hehe, I see that you have all received the medicinal materials, so I wish you all good luck! Then, I announce that the promotion tournament will start now!" The host looked at everyone's reactions, and he smiled meaningfully and said loudly.
