The second day of the Spiritual Courtyard.

Originally, it was supposed to be a duel between the Water Spirit Academy and the Wood Spirit Academy, but due to some accidents, the duel between the Water Spirit Academy and the Fire Spirit Academy could only be advanced.

also let Cao Chuan, who entered the arena with Wen Jinghao, only look back at the location of the Fire Spirit Academy, and meet Li Rengui and the others who were already waiting for him.

However, in the eyes of Li Rengui and others, there is no need to let Cao Chuan play in this Lingyuan competition.

Not to mention that among the other four Great Spirit Courtyards, every Inner Gate Elder needed to have at least the strength of the Cave Ruins Realm, so Cao Chuan could not go on stage to fight against the Inner Gate Elders of the other Spirit Courtyards in terms of age or strength.

This is not just a lack of qualifications, but also a kind of protection for him.

Cao Chuan was happy to be idle, so he sat on the high platform with Wen Jinghao and watched the first duel that had begun in the ring below with great interest.

It is different from the Golden Spirit Temple and the Earth Spirit Temple, which compete with each other for the penultimate throne all year round.

The Water Spirit Courtyard not only has the power to restrain the Fire Spirit Academy, but also repeatedly stepped on the head of the Fire Spirit Courtyard to the top of the five major Spirit Courtyards.

In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Five Great Spirit Courtyards, the only one who has the strength to wrestle with the Fire Spirit Academy is the Water Spirit Academy.

Therefore, this duel between the Fire Spirit Academy and the Water Spirit Academy immediately aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

The entire arena instantly became hot, and everyone was shouting excitedly.

The showdown on the stage is also in full swing.

It wasn't until the end of one competition after another, when it was the last and only duel that did not require a competition of strength, but a competition of alchemy skills, that the fiery and noisy shouts around finally subsided.

Refining the elixir requires a sufficiently quiet environment.

At the same time, it is also the rule of the annual spiritual courtyard competition.

Only this time, just as Li Rengui was about to come to power and prepare to defeat the Water Spirit Academy as before, and bring the throne of the head of the five spirit academies back to the Fire Spirit Academy again, Huo Dewang, who had never spoken in the past two days, suddenly stopped him.

"Elder Li, this alchemy competition won't bother you to play."

"I got the news that the Water Spirit Academy will send a fifth-grade alchemist to compete with you this time."

Although Huo Dewang didn't say it explicitly, Li Rengui himself had already reflected it and knew that he would inevitably lose this alchemy skill competition once he played.

Although he had successfully refined the Five Rank Pill, it was by luck.

Compared to the real five-grade alchemist, he had no chance of winning.

"But..."

Suddenly, Li Rengui turned his gaze to Cao Chuan's body.

Then he smiled and came to Cao Chuan's side and said, "It seems that this time the calculation of the Water Spirit Academy is going to fail, Elder Cao, you will replace me in this alchemy skill competition." ”

When he heard what Huo Dewang said, Cao Chuan already understood that he had to compete in this competition, so he didn't have any intention of shirking, and immediately nodded at the moment Li Rengui mentioned the substitution, got up and walked to the ring.

Around the ring.

Seeing that the person sent by the Fire Spirit Academy was not the previous Li Rengui, but a young man who looked extremely strange, everyone looked sideways and discussed, and kept asking others to know who this young man was and why he would replace Li Rengui on the stage to compete.

After all, in their eyes, from the beginning to the end, only Li Rengui had the ability to refine pills.

Now that the temporary change of generals, do you want to take the initiative to give up this last competition?

This made everyone feel very strange.

At the same time, the people of the Water Spirit Academy were also quite curious, they didn't get the news that the Fire Spirit Academy had found a helper, and they didn't expect that the young man named Cao Chuan in front of them was actually one of the twelve inner door elders of the Fire Spirit Academy.

When Cao Chuan, who was standing on the stage, finished introducing his identity as the twelfth inner gate elder of the Fire Spirit Academy, the inner gate elder of the Water Spirit Academy, who was participating in the last alchemy skill competition for the Water Spirit Academy, his eyes widened, and he looked up and down Cao Chuan, who seemed to him to be just a little child, with disbelief in his eyes.

But the competition of alchemy skills had already begun, and each of them had only one hour to refine the pill.

So neither of them wasted too much time on each other, and quickly turned their attention back to alchemy.

The alchemy elders of the Water Spirit Academy are preparing to refine the five-grade elixir this time, which is the most difficult to refine, the "Five-Rank Returning to the Void Chaos Elixir", which is a kind of elixir used to condense the divine soul and broaden the knowledge of the sea.

The difficulty of refining this elixir can be said to be extremely difficult, and the slightest carelessness will lead to refining failure.

Cao Chuan was not in a hurry to start refining the pill, but sat on the side and watched the other party start refining before finally deciding on the pill he wanted to refine.

"Since it's a competition of alchemy skills, let's beat you in the field you are best at."

After pondering for a while, Cao Chuan also decided on the elixir he was going to refine this time.

He also planned to refine the Five-Rank Returning Void Chaos Elixir.

Because after observing for a while, he has already seen the true strength of the opponent who tested him in this competition.

He is 100% sure that he can beat the other party.

And more importantly, refining the sixth-grade and seventh-grade pills will inevitably attract the attention of the outside world, and his life will be very sad and leisurely at that time.

Cao Chuan likes a clean cultivation environment, so he naturally doesn't want outsiders to come and disturb him.

Therefore, refining the Five Pins Pill is the best choice.

But his choice seemed to those who were not in the Fire Spirit Academy.

After all, a young man who looked less than twenty years old was not only an alchemist, but also wanted to refine the Five Rank Pill.

You must know that the alchemy elder of the Water Spirit Academy next door is already two hundred years old, not only the people of the Water Spirit Academy, but even the people watching the battle think that Cao Chuan is using the mantis arm as a car.

Some people took this opportunity to start sneering, saying in a weird way that after the end of this spiritual courtyard competition, the position of the head of the five spiritual courtyards would give way to the Water Spiritual Academy.

At the same time, he also mentioned the fire fountain that had long been known throughout the demon race.

"Heh... These ignorant guys, you'll know how powerful Elder Cao is later! ”

Hearing the ridicule from all around, Li Rengui grinned and sneered.

The Sword King on the side sat motionless with a smile under the surprised gaze of his own disciples and elders.

"Is this really our Elder Sword King who has a hot temper at one point? Isn't he usually the most unpleasant to hear someone slandering the Fire Spirit Academy? Why is it so quiet today? ”

The Sword King naturally noticed the gaze of others, but he still sat firmly on Mount Tai, and his expression became more relaxed and freehand than before.

No one knew that at this moment, he was constantly mocking those who opened their mouths to mock before the competition was over.

"Humph! If it weren't for Cao Xiaoyou's fear that his pure life would be disturbed by outsiders, let you see what the Seven Pins Pill is today! ”

"Not to mention that although the competition has just begun, you can know which is better and which is worse by looking at the refining techniques of the two."

"In this competition, Cao Xiaoyou will definitely win a big victory!"

Neither he nor Li Rengui spoke, nor did the elders of the Fire Spirit Courtyard who had seen Cao Chuan take out the Seven Rank Pills and Huo Dewang, who knew Cao Chuan quite well.

They all knew that with Cao Chuan's strength, this alchemy skill competition would definitely be won.

And those disciples of the Fire Spirit Academy who had never seen Cao Chuan were whispering, thinking that with Cao Chuan's age, their Fire Spirit Academy would definitely lose this competition.

Some people became pessimistic because of this, and said to themselves that this time the Fire Spirit Academy was going to give up the name of the head of the five spirit courtyards.

But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the person next to him.

The person who was being reprimanded looked up and saw a man and a woman.

If Cao Chuan turned his head to look at it, he would know that this man and woman were the brothers and sisters Tang Liancheng and Tang Wenyin, who had practiced with him before.

Thanks to their own talent and hard work, the two successfully passed the final test and became the inner disciples of the Fire Spirit Academy, and were sent to participate in this Spirit Courtyard competition.

It was only by relying on the elixir refined by Cao Chuan that the two brothers and sisters were able to come to the Fire Spirit Academy, and they were able to become the inner disciples of the Fire Spirit Academy.

So when the two heard that someone was dissatisfied with Cao Chuan, and even had a dirty mouth, they immediately stepped forward and shouted to stop, wanting to maintain Cao Chuan's reputation.

As for the disciple who was scolded by Tang Liancheng, when he saw the tall and majestic Tang Liancheng in front of him, who was as tall and majestic as a mountain, he immediately swallowed back the words that had not yet come out of his mouth, and then shrunk his neck and did not dare to speak again.

Meanwhile.

Above the ring.

Cao Chuan deliberately slowed down the speed at which he was refining the pill, and he had been maintaining the same progress as the Inner Sect Elder of the Water Spirit Academy.

But the Five-Rank Returning Void Chaos Elixir is not so easy to refine.

The first step of refining all kinds of spirit herbs and elixirs into spiritual liquid requires a large amount of divine soul power.

And each material requires a different refining technique.

Cao Chuan's divine soul power is very strong, although he is inferior to the other party in the cultivation realm, he still seems to be handy when refining spiritual liquid.

On the contrary, the elders of the inner gate of the Water Spirit Academy, who had a higher realm and deeper qualifications, became sweating profusely at this time, obviously because there were too many materials that made him a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Cao Chuan, who had been waiting for this opportunity, began to speed up.

After a while, the spiritual liquid refined from dozens of materials floated in front of him, and it also emitted bursts of fragrance that poured into the tip of the other party's nose with the wind.

Seeing that the other party's body trembled suddenly, Cao Chuan grinned, and no longer made trouble, but calmed down and began to refine the Five-Rank Returning Void Chaos Pill at the fastest speed.

Soon.

Refining the five-grade pill is like drinking water, Cao Chuan stretched out his hand to control the Dan furnace to open, and then saw that there were twelve round, red and purple five-grade Returning Void Chaos Elixir in his hand.

And at this very moment.

The Inner Gate Elder of the Water Spirit Courtyard on the side suddenly heard an explosion.

Turn your head to look.

It turned out that the elder of the inner gate of the Water Spirit Courtyard had an accident when refining, which led to the fryer.

The pills that had not yet had time to take shape were all destroyed in this way.

At the same time, it also represents this competition, and it is Cao Chuan who wins.

"The most taboo thing for alchemists is to be distracted at critical moments, even if they realize that they have made mistakes, they must not let their hearts be shaken in the slightest."

Looking at the elders of the inner gate of the Water Spirit Courtyard on the stage, whose faces were scorched by flames behind the fryer.

Li Rengui, who was also an alchemist, immediately sneered softly and said, "Although this Inner Sect Elder of the Water Spirit Courtyard surpasses me in the skill of refining pills, his own mentality is extremely susceptible to the influence of the outside world. ”

"At first, he thought that Cao Xiaoyou was just here to make trouble, and he didn't make any mistakes in the refining process."

"But when he began to notice that Cao Xiaoyou's refining techniques were much more proficient than himself, the movements in his hands began to become flustered, and he even almost forgot what kind of pill he was refining, so he made a wrong step, so that he made a mistake when he was about to become a pill in the end."

"With this kind of strength, I still want to deal with Cao Xiaoyou, wishful thinking."

"The victory of this competition, our Fire Spirit Academy will laugh at it."

As soon as the words fell.

With Cao Chuan's victory in this alchemy skill competition, the disciples of the Fire Spirit Academy, who had previously underestimated Cao Chuan, lowered their heads in shame, while the elders and Huo Dewang, who had already known that Cao Chuan could refine the seven-grade pill, looked indifferent.

In their opinion, this victory was inevitable.

As for Cao Chuan, after winning the victory, he went directly back to Wen Jinghao and sat down, and then began to sit and drink leisurely, and waited for the start of the next competition.

In the next competition, the opponent of the Fire Spirit Academy was replaced by the Wood Spirit Academy, which had similar strength to the Water Spirit Academy.

It's just that the Wood Spirit Academy has always been restrained by the Fire Spirit Academy, so it has always been very clear that with its own strength, it can only be subordinated to the Fire Spirit Academy, so at the beginning of the competition, he had already taken the initiative to give up some duels that he would never win, and instead focused on the alchemy competition in the last ring.

Although alchemists need to be proficient in the power of fire, and the Wood Spirit Academy is most familiar with the power of the wood attribute, in terms of alchemy skills, the Wood Spirit Academy can be called the best among the five spirit academies.

Even Li Rengui kept mentioning the alchemy elder of the Wood Spirit Academy, saying that the other party's level was much higher than him, and he was even qualified to be his master.

Because that elder had refined the six-grade pill.

Although it was just a coincidence, it was enough for him to enjoy a high status in the entire demon race.

And this time in the alchemy skill competition, the elder of the Wood Spirit Academy chose to refine the six-grade pill.

If it was before, Li Rengui would definitely take the initiative to admit defeat.

But today is different, Li Rengui did not panic, he did not play in person, but chuckled and watched Cao Chuan walk into the ring again.

This is the confidence he thinks that this year's Spirit Academy, Fire Spirit Academy, will definitely win.

Cao Chuan was the alchemist he had seen with his own eyes who had refined the seven-grade pill.

Not to mention that the Seven-Rank Tranquility Breaking Mirror Pill that was refined later also solved a problem in the heart of the Sword King.

So he is full of confidence in Cao Chuan.

But the elder of the Wood Spirit Academy didn't think so, in his opinion, Cao Chuan had only refined the five-rank pill just now, but what he wanted to refine was the six-grade pill.

The two are not comparable.

So after seeing Cao Chuan come to the stage again, he smiled slightly, and then said softly: "The old man wants to win this competition." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing the confident words of the old man in front of him, Cao Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and responded: "Whose alchemy skills are stronger is not something that can be decided just by talking about it, I think you must understand this truth, old man, right?" ”

"What's more, I look like you should have lived for hundreds of years, and you're really not afraid that after losing to me, you won't catch your breath and then burp directly in this ring?"

Cao Chuan has never been a taciturn person, and in the face of other people's challenges, he naturally has to face them head-on.

Even if it's just a verbal quarrel.

He squinted at the old man, still with a hippie smile, and said, "You don't have to talk nonsense with me, it's better to hurry up and find a way to refine the pill first, otherwise if the furnace is blown up, it will be a shame, hahahaha!" ”

While laughing wildly, Cao Chuan walked towards the Dan furnace.

He had already decided what pill he wanted to refine, and at the same time, he had already seen through the alchemy level of that Wood Spirit Elder.

A person who likes to talk big when refining pills will not be a person with superb alchemy skills in his opinion.

At least not him.

"Humph!"

"Just wait! When the old man refines the elixir, you will know what it is to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky! ”

Seeing that Cao Chuan no longer cared about himself, the inner door elders of the Wood Spirit Academy didn't say much, and immediately walked to his own Dan furnace and began to refine the pill.

This time, he was going to refine the Six-Rank Pill.

Six-grade refining god Tuohai Lingdan.

An auxiliary elixir used by Yuan Shen Realm cultivators when cultivating, which can be used to expand the sea of consciousness and strengthen the power of the divine soul.

The difficulty of refining was considered medium among the six rank pills, so the old man immediately became extremely cautious when he started refining, and he was extremely careful and careful in every step, for fear that there would be a mistake that would lead to the failure of refining.

Compared with the seriousness of the old man, Cao Chuan is more casual.

What he refined was also the Six-Rank Refining God Tuo Haidan.

After all, this is the best way to slap in the face.

It's just that this time he didn't deliberately slow down his refining speed, but refined the pill as fast as possible while hiding his strength.

The refining process did not pause in the slightest, nor did there be any mistakes, it was successfully refined in less than a stick of incense, and the refining was still the best in the elixir.

One furnace of six detonated the atmosphere of the scene in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The Elder Wood Spirit next door was getting more and more nervous, so much so that he made the same mistake as the Elder Shui Ling before, constantly observing Cao Chuan, and being affected by the comments of the people around him.

The alchemy began to become anxious, and the speed became slower and slower, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more.

Cao Chuan stood aside and waited quietly, he really wanted to see the expression on the other party's face after defeat.

Soon.

With the end of the alchemy time.

Elder Mu Ling still hadn't been able to refine the elixir.

At this time, Cao Chuan instantly stepped forward and said, "It seems that the old gentleman still needs to go back and study more alchemy skills, otherwise at this level, it will be difficult for the junior to lose to you." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the ring.
