Kunlun Cave Heaven.

Lingxu Peak.

Kunlun Cave, there are many famous peaks, such as the Jade Void Peak, which is the place where the real people of the Zhangjiao practice, and such as the Jade Pearl, the Xuanzhen Patriarch in the late Yuan Infant is here to cultivate, the name of the Lingxu Peak, although it will not be mentioned too much by the disciples on weekdays, but every year on the seventh day of the lunar month, almost the entire Kunlun's sight will gather here.

The annual Dan Dao Apprentice Contest was held on this day at Lingxu Peak.

Although it is only a competition for Dan Dao apprentices, the sect attaches great importance to it, and the entire peak of Yuxu Peak is usually covered by a large array, and it will only be opened on the day of the competition.

Every alchemist started from a Dan Dao apprentice, and the eight Dan Dao masters of the sect all won the top spot in the apprenticeship competition when they were apprentices in Dan Dao, and for alchemists, this is also a great honor for their Dan Dao journey.

This also leads to the fierce competition in the annual Dan Dao apprenticeship competition.

Some alchemists obviously already have the strength of a first-grade alchemist, but they have not been able to take the first-grade alchemist assessment for a long time, just to obtain the top spot in the big competition and add a strong touch to their Dandao career.

For some reason, this year's Dan Dao apprentice competition is a little more intense than in previous years.

The reason for this is that the sect's latest decree on the purchase restriction of Tongmai Dan has been promulgated, and even some elder disciples have a shortage of Tongmai Dan, so more people have put their ideas on the Dan Dao Dabi.

If you can get a good ranking in the big competition, you can get a lot of Tongmai Dan rewards, in the past, they didn't look down on these rewards, this time they have to find a way to fight.

At this moment, the Spirit Void Peak Great Array has been opened.

On a broad platform at the top of the peak, there are thousands of stone platforms densely displayed, and the periphery of the stone platform is covered by a large array, which will not affect the line of sight, but can isolate the sound, and also has the effect of blocking the wind, which is to not disturb the contestants inside.

The open space outside the platform was already crowded with disciples watching the excitement.

Farther away, there are also shadows in the trees.

In the sky, there are several huge spiritual boats floating in the sky, and some of the elders and deacons in the door sit on the spiritual boats, drinking tea while watching this annual event of the sect, or chatting with the people around them.

"In this big competition, which one do you think will win the championship?"

"It's time for Uncle Danyangzi's beloved apprentice, Zhao Wuliang has long been able to refine the first-order elixir, and he didn't participate in the Danshi assessment for a long time, just to win the first place in the big competition, but unfortunately every year there are dark horses in the big competition, if I'm not mistaken, he has been second for four consecutive years......"

"I'm more optimistic about Changchun Zhenren's apprentice, that little girl is only fifteen years old and has cultivated four spiritual veins, and the sect obviously treats her as the next Dan Dao Grandmaster to cultivate......"

"After all, the little girl is only fifteen years old, and there will be opportunities in the future, and I am still optimistic about Zhao Wuliang."

"I heard that she opened the furnace a month ago, and she refined five top-grade pills in one furnace, not to mention these apprentices, most of the second-grade alchemists don't have such a high rate of top-grade alchemists, this is talent......"

"There are also He Jin under Senior Brother Wang, Deng Qingsong under Senior Brother Liu, and Liu Ren under Senior Brother Feng, they all participated in this big competition, this big competition should be the most interesting in recent years, let's wait and see......"

……

Lingxu Peak.

Peak platform.

Li Yu stood next to a rectangular stone platform, on which were placed some medicinal herbs, jade pots, jade bowls, and a Dan furnace, in order to prevent cheating, all the materials for alchemy were prepared by the sect in advance.

Zhou Zixuan stood beside him, staring directly at the herbs on the stone platform, his fists clenched, and his finger joints were a little white because of the tension.

Li Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "It's me who participates in the competition, why are you more nervous than me?" ”

Zhou Zixuan pursed her lips and asked, "You, aren't you nervous at all?" ”

Li Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a small scene, relax, relax......"

His expression was indifferent, if he was so easily nervous, he would have died many times, in his previous life in Southeast Asia, in front of nearly a thousand people, he was pointed at the head with a gun, he could also talk to each other with a smile, this time it was just refining a pill in public, there was nothing to be nervous about.

However, he looked around from side to side, and many people around him showed more or less nervous expressions on their faces.

This is also normal, alchemists are used to alchemy in a closed and quiet environment, and suddenly making such a big scene, normal people will be a little uncomfortable, which is also a test of their hearts in the sect.

But there are also those who are as steady as an old dog like Li Yu.

There was a young girl beside him, fifteen or sixteen years old, who was so delicate and lovely that she didn't see any nervousness at all, leaning on the stone platform, humming an unknown tune in her mouth.

Even the girl assistant beside her didn't have any stage fright, and smiled and said something to her.

Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan chatted casually to relieve her tension, and after a while, several dull bells rang in their ears, and a deep voice echoed above them.

"This Dan Dao apprentice competition has officially begun!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd was in a commotion, and the surroundings of the thousand stone platforms in the square immediately began to get busy.

In the first round of the competition, there was only one hour, the assistants purified the pill as quickly as possible, and the alchemists stood by the Dan furnace, trying their best to adjust their state to the best to ensure that they were in the best state of alchemy.

There are three rounds in which the rules of each round are different.

In the first round, 1,000 people participated, and after one round, 90% were eliminated, leaving only 100 people.

The requirements for this round are relatively relaxed, and all the alchemists need to refine ten hemostatic pills to ensure that each one has more than three Dan lines.

If you can't refine ten high-grade hemostatic pills with three materials, you will be eliminated directly.

If more than 100 people are qualified, then the top 100 people will be promoted according to the amount of materials consumed and the quality of the elixir.

The requirement of this round is to use the least amount of materials to refine the most and best quality pills.

Other alchemists are adjusting their state, Li Yu is watching Zhou Zixuan extract the spiritual liquid, she is learning this in Biyun Peak, a set of operations is smooth and orderly, even the girl next to her has a few more glances.

Soon, a portion of the elixir was ready.

Li Yu poured the Dan liquid prepared by Zhou Zixuan into the main cavity of the Dan furnace and began refining, almost at the same time, the girl next to him had also begun to refine the Dan.

When refining the pill for the first time, Li Yu needed half an hour to refine a furnace of pills.

With the improvement of his cultivation, the time required for his alchemy is getting shorter and shorter, and now, the fastest time is about a quarter of an hour, but this is the first round, he only needs to ensure that he advances, but he doesn't have to do his best.

In the process of alchemy, accidents are also frequent on the entire competition platform.

Syllable!

An alchemist was in too much of a hurry, and his hand holding the jade bowl was unsteady, and the bowl containing the pill liquid fell to the ground and shattered, making a sound that frightened another Dan master next to him.

That Dan Master had already sealed the furnace and started refining, and he couldn't help but be frightened by this, his hand shook, and the flames shook a little.

Burst......

A black smoke came out of the Dan furnace, and his furnace of Dan medicine was considered useless.

He glared at the other party viciously, but he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly urged his assistant to prepare the second material.

With the passage of time, on the huge alchemy platform, this kind of mistakes emerge in endlessly, and some people are even affected twice in a row, and their mentality explodes directly, and they fight with the alchemists who affect him next to them, and the final result is, of course, taken away by the deacon disciples who maintain order, and within three years, they are not allowed to participate in the big competition again.

Almost a quarter of an hour passed, and within three feet of Li Yu's side, only the girl was left as an alchemist.

Just now, the alchemist next to him and the alchemist next to him had a fight, which caused a series of chain reactions, and the surrounding alchemists were affected, and several of them had no choice but to quit because all the materials were wasted......

Li Yu glanced at it, the girl next to him was not very old, but her mentality was as stable as an old dog, and the big movement around her did not affect her at all.

Under Li Yu's Dan furnace, the flame was still stable.

Soon, he smelled a strong scent of dan.

The girl next to him seemed to have turned on the furnace.

Ten elixirs, two superb, and eight superb.

Just by smelling the danxiang, Li Yu judged the quality of that furnace of elixir, because he was too familiar with this smell.

This made Li Yu surprised in his heart, sure enough, he couldn't underestimate the heroes of the world, the Kunlun faction was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this girl was so young, in terms of alchemy, he already had fifty or sixty percent of the level......
