In the huge alchemy hall.

The two second-order alchemists were engrossed in refining the Caiju Dan.

One has a solemn look, but there is no lack of calmness.

One is concentrated, but from the twitching of his eyebrows, it can be seen that he is nervous.

The surrounding spectators were "silent" and did not dare to disturb them.

Say it's silent.

In fact, there are quite a few people who are secretly using their psychic knowledge to communicate with each other.

With Luo Chen's divine soul, even if he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, the conversations of some people in the early and middle stages of foundation building were also clear to his ears.

"Tsk, this is the ten-year task of guarding Yuan Zhaoguo, but I didn't expect alchemy to fall at all!"

"Not only did he not fall, you can see his use in Su Xin's hands, unhurried and skillful."

"Don't say it, it's true. Let me deal with this cliff chrysanthemum, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it to this extent. ”

"On the other hand, Tao Yichen?"

"No, the craftsmanship is too heavy!"

"One board and one eye, I am afraid that I will destroy the medicinal materials, but I have missed the best opportunity for the fusion of medicinal power."

"In my opinion, Tao Yichen's alchemy, compared with Yisheng, has fallen to a level!"

"Here's the point, let's take a look at the treatment of this five-color chrysanthemum!"

……

The alchemy competition is still going on intensely.

Luo Chen just looked at it for a while, and his brows furrowed inadvertently.

"This Tao Yichen is also worthy of being called a second-order alchemist?"

He was amazed!

The level of the other party is a little too inferior.

Could it be that the other party is really because of mundane affairs, and the level of alchemy has dropped significantly?

But that's not right!

When Tao Yisheng discussed with him, he also said it well.

But in practice, there are many mistakes.

It can be seen from this that Qingdan Valley's review of second-order alchemists seems to be very lenient?

His gaze swept towards the other interested Zhuji True Cultivators, and Luo Chen suddenly thought for a moment.

"Maybe it's not that they're too vegetable, but I'm too strong?"

Yes!

In the eyes of the world.

Those alchemists who occasionally refine one or two second-order pills can be called second-order alchemists.

For example, Qing Yuanzi, relying on the Dan Cultivation Technique, took a shortcut and was lucky enough to cultivate a third-order pill, and he also boasted that he was a third-order alchemist.

Compared to these so-called "second-order alchemists".

Luo Chen's alchemy was sharpened under the number of Cheng Dan that could be counted in tens of thousands.

Even if it's a second-order elixir!

He also refined, at least no less than two or three thousand!

Most of them are the most difficult to refine high-grade and top-grade elixirs.

In comparison, the rest of the people naturally do not deserve to be compared to him.

"Of course, there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. For example, the two alchemists of the Tao family were not ranked in the entire Qingdan Valley, and they did not even obtain the number of the Imperial Gift. ”

"It is conceivable that the seven sons of Qingdan must be truly talented and learned."

"I can't underestimate the heroes of the world!"

After feeling emotion in his heart, he subconsciously shook his head.

Now that he is in the great consummation of "Mingshen Breaking the Evil", he can already do three things with one heart.

There was a lot of reverie before.

But there was always a lot of attention, on the two of them.

Therefore, the refining progress of Caiju Dan is quite detailed.

Tao Wan next to him saw this.

Curiously, he asked, "What's wrong?" But what's wrong? ”

Luo Chen said lightly: "I'm going to fail." ”

"Who?"

"It's all failed!"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Juan couldn't help but look suspicious.

She herself is not a clever alchemist.

But since he was a child, he grew up in the Dan Dao Sect, and he still has some insight into the judgment of the refining of pills.

"Tao Yichen may fail, but every step of the little brother is perfect, and it is obviously a sign of imminent success!"

It's not just her.

The rest of the foundation building true cultivators in the field, but anyone who has a little eyesight, has already discovered the huge gap between Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen in the level of alchemy.

Especially on the side of the patriarch Tao Daonan.

Many people are now showing a look of trepidation.

There are even more transmissions, silently converging on Tao Daonan.

However, Tao Daonan, although his face was ugly, he still maintained his composure and did not interfere with anything.

Alchemy continues.

A moment later.

A crisp and audible pop sounded in the copper tripod.

All eyes converged and saw Tao Yichen's extremely pale and bloodless face.

"I've failed."

He muttered, and his body seemed to tremble.

"Alas......"

A sigh came from Tao Dao's south mouth.

He didn't blame the other party.

Originally, Tao Yichen had a bit of Dan Dao talent, not only passed the theoretical assessment of Qingdan Valley, but also luckily refined a second-order pill.

But then he disliked the alchemy work, was too repetitive, too numb, and delayed his cultivation, so he gave up continuing to improve.

Instead, he put his energy on dealing with the internal affairs of the Tao family.

If he had been ruthless back then, he would have forced him to continue his further study of alchemy.

How can there be today's embarrassment?

Shaking his head, his gaze fell on Tao Yisheng.

"Could he really do it once?"

Everyone's eyes, including Tao Yichen, who failed, were condensed on Tao Yisheng.

If it had been before, under the watchful eye, he might have panicked.

Maybe the Danshu movement will be deformed.

But in the year of Luo Tianhui Dan Palace, when it was ordinary alchemy, Qu Lingjun, Mi Li and others followed from time to time.

He's used to it, someone is watching.

Even, if it was refining a simple first-order elixir, he could still be distracted and give a few words.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He was still unhurried and maintained the final finishing work of Cai Judan.

Seeing this, Tao Wan couldn't help but feel a little more relieved in her heart.

His frizzy younger brother seems to have grown a lot in the past ten years.

There are already a few points of Taishan collapsing in front and the color remains unchanged, and the elk is in the left and the wind of the general!

"It should work, right?"

She murmured in her heart.

……

Under everyone's expectations, Tao Yisheng played the last spiritual trick.

The earth fire fell, and the copper tripod trembled slightly.

A scent of chrysanthemum and orchid came to the face.

"Success?"

"That's not right!"

"It smells of burnt!"

"It's ......"

Tao Yisheng, who was originally happy, had a visibly worse face when he took out the three pills that were only blue and yellow.

It was at this time.

Tao Daonan's voice sounded at the right time.

"The color is green and yellow, not up to three colors, this Dan is not a finished product, and it is a waste Dan!"

Almost at the same time.

Tao Wan brushed it, and her beautiful eyes stared at Luo Chen.

The other shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

It means that although I guessed correctly, it has nothing to do with me.

Tao Wan nodded and withdrew his gaze.

As the other party expected, it really failed.

However, failure is also graded!

She looked at Tao Daonan with a burning look.

"Tao Yichen's alchemy collapsed halfway, and he didn't complete the final steps of becoming a pill."

"Although Yisheng also failed, he refined the two-color chrysanthemum pill, which shows that the alchemy technique is far higher than him."

"The high and low have been divided, the position of the head of the family, the patriarch should have made a decision!"

Most of the people present.

Even many Zhuji True Cultivators who were on Tao Daonan's side also nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, the alchemy of the two sides has been divided!

What about the position of the head of the house......

Considers!

"Hahaha!"

The old man's laughter sounded in everyone's astonishment.

Tao Daonan pointed to the waste pill in Tao Yisheng's hand and said: "Those who travel a hundred miles, half ninety!" Before the finish line, what's the difference between just starting out? ”

"That's not what I said." Tao Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Tao Daonan shook his head, "Then how to say it?" You take these three waste pills and the pile of formless waste materials of Yichen and sell them to others. Is it because you're closer to success that you'll be able to sell more spirit stones? ”

"No, it's worthless as well!"

"Waste Dan, it's Waste Dan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

But at the same time, I was shocked, but I felt that there was nothing wrong.

Others will not buy you a waste pill with your hard-earned spirit stones because you have high alchemy skills.

Therefore, according to the results, Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen are both failures.

How can there be a distinction between superior and inferior!

There are many people who agree with this concept.

Among them, even Luo Chen is included.

When he first refined the Chalcedony Pill, he failed countless times, and the accumulated chalcedony waste beads alone were tens of thousands.

But no one spends a lot of money to buy those defective products.

On the stage, Tao Yisheng's face also became a little pale.

He couldn't accept this result, and Tao Juan couldn't accept it either.

"In my opinion!"

Tao Daonan's words continued.

"Yisheng is still too young in the end, and the position of the head of this family has to be brought by the experienced and old-fashioned Yichen."

Tao Yichen is his own grandson!

Let him be the head of the family, and there is no difference between Tao Daonan and Tao Daonan himself in charge of the family.

Tao Juan sneered, glanced at Tao Yisheng, and said slowly: "Since you say that you don't succeed, it's all a failure." It's better to continue alchemy, and there will always be a result today. ”

"I don't think there's any need for that!" Tao Daonan frowned.

"No, it's necessary!" Tao Wan looked around at everyone and said, "Do you want to hear outside in the future that the head of my Tao family was selected from among the two losers?" ”

Picked out of the two losers?

Isn't that still a loser!

Under Tao Wansenran's gaze, everyone couldn't refute it for a while.

In other words, Tao Juan's Zhuji Zhenxiu didn't want to refute it.

They spoke out in unison, supporting the continuation of the alchemy competition.

Even Tao Daonan's side couldn't come up with a reason to oppose it.

The head of the family is not the same as the patriarch.

The latter is responsible for sacrifices, bloodline inheritance, etiquette and humility, and is often held by the elders with high prestige and old age in the family.

But the former is responsible for many things, large and small, both internally and externally.

What you want is to be young and promising, and you want to be strong.

What it represents is the face of a family!

Even said that people outside will know that there is a big family of ups and downs behind you when they see you!

This kind of identity cannot tolerate the stain of "loser" from the beginning.

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd.

Tao Juan turned his head suddenly, "I've rested enough!" ”

"Continue to alchemy!"

"If you can't refine the colorful chrysanthemum pill, you are not allowed to stop."

"Whoever refines it is the new head of my Xiaonanshan Tao family!"

There are no second words.

Tao Yisheng naturally commanded those medicine disciples, helped him prepare new raw materials, asked the pyrotechnics to dredge the earth fire passage, and asked Qing Danshi to clean the filthy copper tripod left by the alchemy before.

Skillful, as if he had experienced this situation many times.

This is all in the past year, he was sent to Luo Tianhui by Luo Chen and honed as a coolie.

On the other hand, Tao Yichen also barely cheered up and did similar work as usual.

Soon.

The fire is rekindled!

Alchemy is back!

It was only at this time that the atmosphere that had become tense because of a-for-tat confrontation gradually eased.

Tao Wan was unnoticed, and secretly glanced at Luo Chen several times.

In my heart, I felt a little emotional.

Today's dispute between the owners of this family was a sudden idea that came to her after she saw Tao Yisheng's recent transformation and learned that his alchemy had greatly improved.

But in the midst of this.

But it also contains another idea of hers.

That is to simply test what Luo Chen can do!

Regarding Luo Chen's alchemy attainments, she just listened to her younger brother boast, and listened to a few times of praise from Tai Xun.

Although later, after collecting the other party's intelligence, I learned that Luo Chen also had the name of Danchenzi.

But in my heart, there are still some doubts.

It is extremely difficult for him to compete for the position of that seed.

Don't fall in the second round!

If Luo Chen didn't live up to his name, she wouldn't mind changing generals on the spot and replacing him with a second-order alchemist who was weaker than Huang Hezi.

Merely.

In this internal alchemy competition of the Tao family, Luo Chen has already shown an eye comparable to that of an alchemy master!

In the case that everyone thought that Tao Yisheng would succeed.

But he said in advance that the other party would fail in the future!

"Even the eyesight that I have been from the Dan Dao Sect since I was a child can't judge."

But he said it.

"Under the excellent eyesight, it is an extremely confident alchemy attainment!"

"In this way, no matter whether Yisheng succeeds or not, my goal has been achieved!"

These thoughts crossed my mind.

The expression on the woman's face also became more and more calm.

This scene fell in the eyes of Tao Daonan opposite, making his mood unconsciously become impatient.

"If this continues, Yichen will lose sooner or later!"

……

The Tao family's internal alchemy competition is still going on.

Since the first failure, the second failure has come very quickly.

After a brief break, at Tao Juan's insistence, continue.

One day!

Two days!

Even if they were given plenty of time to rest halfway through, it was for these pampered family monks.

After such a long period of alchemy, they still don't get used to it.

Like Tao Yichen, looking at another failure, his eyes were dull, and he looked dead.

Only Tao Yisheng, even if he squandered his spiritual power, his spiritual sense was overused, and his face became pale.

But in his eyes, he was bright and brighter.

Tao Xuan, who had been paying attention to the process, suddenly moved his ears.

She subconsciously looked at Luo Chen.

I saw the other party, and nodded lightly to her.

In an instant, her eyes lit up.

This time, if there is no accident, Tao Yisheng will succeed!

It seems that because of the successive failures and the atmosphere of constant stalemate, Tao Daonan can no longer bear it.

Such a stalemate is clearly a challenge to his authority.

"Enough!"

"There is no need for this farce to continue!"

Tao Wan looked at him coldly, "The victory is not scored, why can't it be continued?" And, farce? Does the patriarch think that my Tao family's selection of the head of the family is a farce? ”

Tao Daonan's face was gloomy, "Tao Juan, you don't have to provoke me with words." Didn't you do this just to gather the strength of the family and compete for the position of that seed? ”

"Yes and what!"

Tao Wan raised his eyebrows, and he didn't give in.

Tao Daonan's expression froze.

He didn't expect that the other party would admit it so openly.

For a while, he really didn't know how to pinch the other party.

Suddenly!

He turned his gaze to Tao Yisheng, who was alchemizing.

"I am the patriarch, and I already have the power to appoint the head of the family, this farce should be over!"

As he spoke, a majestic aura fluctuation was instantly vented.

Meanwhile.

On Tao Juan's body, a powerful aura fluctuation also erupted.

The two collided with each other in an instant, and they were at a stalemate for a while!

This is the purest background competition, without any means of fighting, any subtlety of spells.

compares who has a higher realm, and whose spiritual power is more pure and huge.

About three breaths later.

Bang!

Tao Daonan's face was pale, his face was bearded, and his Taoist robe seemed to be blown by the wind, and all of them were raised backwards.

Tao Wan took a step forward, and a powerful and confident momentum erupted.

"You're old!"

"It's long overdue to abdicate and make way for Xian!"

"Under your leadership, the Tao family is bound to decline!"

"Now, the Tao family should be led by my sister and brother to the top!"

Word by word, like five lightning strikes, constantly bombarded the old man's mind and mind.

Rumble!

Tao Daonan's aura fluctuated, and it suddenly collapsed, and there was no resistance to it.

He himself took a few steps back in embarrassment.

Almost at the same time.

A refreshing fragrance of chrysanthemum spread from the alchemy hall.

Under Tao Yichen's desperate gaze, Tao Yisheng jumped and made a move towards the copper tripod.

Three pills fell into his hands.

Green, yellow and white, the three colors complement each other, and they are included in the second-order lower grade!

"Sister, I'm done! I'm finally done! Hahaha......"

Holding the three pills, Tao Yichen's pale face was full of excitement.

Tao Juan subconsciously glanced at Luo Chen, who retreated behind everyone, and then said loudly:

"Congratulations!"

"Everyone, haven't you hurried to see the master of the Tao family!"

The foundation building true cultivation of her lineage immediately shouted "I have seen the head of the family"!

And the rest of the foundation building true cultivation is looking at each other.

But after Tao Juan's sharp eyes swept away, he still barely shouted that sentence.

"I've seen the head of the house!"

Tao Wan showed a bright smile, and looked at Tao Daonan at this moment.

"Patriarch, my Tao family has a new head of the family, is it going to hold a family meeting to announce this matter!"

Tao Daonan's beard was messy, and his face was gloomy as water.

glanced at the two sisters and brothers hatefully.

"Tomorrow!"

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

He lost this battle for the head of the family.

It is not only a defeat to Tao Yisheng, but also a defeat to the powerful Tao Xuan.

He didn't expect that Tao Wan would be so powerful now, and he would not fall behind at all when he faced him head-on, and even overpowered him strongly.

In full view.

Everyone knows that he Tao Daonan was completely defeated.

Since then, there has been no prestige.

Out of the alchemy room.

The dazzling sunlight sprinkled on his face, and he was subconsciously in a trance.

After opening his eyes, Tao Daonan was a little dazed.

"Am I really old?"
