"Hmm, could it be that Elder Mu's Sanyang True Fire has already cultivated to the seventh layer? How is this possible?" On the elder seat, Great Elder Shao Yuanyang looked at the two big characters, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zhang Ye carefully.

Second Elder Qian Shuqing, Third Elder Huang Kaiwen, Seventh Elder Zhu Changqing, and Eighth Elder Luo Xiushui, the look of shock on the faces of the four of them was much more powerful than that of the Great Elder. The four of them looked at Zhang Ye in disbelief, as if Zhang Ye was a demon that suddenly appeared from under the ground.

"It's amazing, it's so exciting! What a beautiful big word!" Luo Xiushui looked at it blankly, trembling slightly with excitement, and muttered a sentence in his mouth.

Luo Xiangwen in the center of the valley didn't feel that the two big characters were beautiful at this time. He looked at the two huge words in the air, and his heart was shocked, and his scalp was numb.

The nature of the flame is active, Luo Xiangwen can turn the flame into a snake and make the snake move. But let the flames stop and form two big characters, Luo Xiangwen will never be able to do it!

After being shocked, Luo Xiangwen felt angry in his heart. Zhang Ye wrote with flames: "Idiot" two big words, clearly slapping him in the face and insulting him!

"Boom!"

Luo Xiangwen slapped out a congenital true qi and slapped towards the two big characters, but after hearing a loud noise, the two unusually dazzling big characters finally dissipated.

"Wow-"

The disciples in the valley only came back to their senses at this time, and they all looked at Zhang Ye in shock, and their mouths kept talking.

"It's so powerful, the Nine Elders' hand is really too powerful! The flame is tangible and insubstantial, and its nature is active, I can't imagine that the Nine Elders can actually turn the flame into two big characters!"

"What a powerful fire control technique! I didn't expect the flame to be able to form two big characters, today Lao Tzu has opened his eyes!"

"Elder Mu usually hides in his own valley to cultivate, or he buries himself in alchemy, and he doesn't even manage the affairs of the sect. I didn't expect such a low-key person to be so powerful in fire control!"

"Yes, yes, Elder Mu's hand is void condensing. Elder Biro's flame turned into a snake just now. It's ten times more difficult! It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Hearing these disciples, they all changed their words to praise Zhang Ye, Luo Xiangwen's face turned red, and his fists clenched. He glanced at the five elders in the elder seat and said, "Five elders, it's time for the competition. Let's announce the start of the game. ”

Great Elder Shao Yuanyang slowly stood up and said, "The time has come, now the old man announces the rules of the competition." The two elders, each using two materials, refined a furnace of five-grade true pills - Guiyuan True Pill. Whoever refines the elixir is of high quality and in large quantities. Whoever wins. The five elders of our outer gate served as the referees of this competition. ”

Shao Yuanyang introduced the rules, and the third elder Huang Kaiwen stood up and said in a deep voice: "This time in the alchemy competition, the loser will be punished by 10,000 medium-grade essence yuan stones, and the elder's ranking will drop by one place. You two are doing it for yourselves. ”

"Wow-"

Hearing the punishment of the loser, the disciples present were stunned. For a while, the disciples were talking one after another. Eyes frequently fell on Zhang Ye and Luo Xiangwen, discussing who would fail.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Luo Xiangwen's mouth. He glanced at Zhang Ye defiantly.

Zhang Ye's face was calm, and he didn't pay attention to Luo Xiangwen at all.

Luo Xiangwen sneered in his heart, and said: "Pretend, still pretending! Wait a minute, if you fail, you won't be able to pretend." Mu Linfeng, today you are destined to be discredited in front of tens of thousands of disciples!"

Luo Xiangwen clenched his fists tightly.

"Game on!"

With the order of the Great Elder Shao Yuanyang, the two outer disciples, each holding two alchemy materials, handed them over to Zhang Ye and Luo Xiangwen respectively.

Two copies of materials per person, that is, a maximum of one failure is allowed. The Five-Rank True Pill is quite difficult to refine, and being able to refine one furnace of True Pill with two parts of materials is remarkable.

Looking at the alchemy materials in front of him, Luo Xiangwen's face showed a confident look. He can't beat Zhang Ye in a fight, and he can't beat Zhang Ye when he plays with fire, but he is still very confident in his alchemy.

Refining elixir involves all aspects. For example, the selection of medicinal materials, the processing of medicinal materials, the refining of medicinal liquids, the control of flames, the grasp of heat, alchemy techniques, etc., are all indispensable. Although Zhang Ye's fire control technique is excellent, Luo Xiangwen never believes that Zhang Ye's other aspects are as powerful as the fire control technique.

"Whoosh-"

Luo Xiangwen's two palms moved in the air, like two white lights flying over, people only felt a flower in front of them, and Luo Xiangwen had already selected an alchemy material from the dense medicinal materials.

"Good!"

The disciples present were all knowledgeable people, and when they saw Luo Xiangwen show his hand, their eyes lit up and they cheered in unison.

You must know that the two alchemy materials are mixed together, and the alchemist needs to select them one by one. The materials involved in Guiyuan Zhendan have reached more than 100 kinds, and Luo Xiangwen actually picked out a hundred kinds of materials in an instant, this kind of eyesight, this kind of ability is really extraordinary.

After people cheered, they set their eyes on Zhang Ye's body, wanting to see how Zhang Ye performed. But Zhang Ye obviously disappointed them, although Zhang Ye's speed in selecting medicinal materials was not slow, it was definitely not as fast and amazing as Luo Xiangwen.

After selecting the herbs, the next step is to deal with the herbs.

More than 100 kinds of medicinal materials are freshly excavated and picked, and they need to be processed. The handling of medicinal herbs is very important to the eye, and it is necessary to see which part has the greatest effect before processing. And even for the same herb, there are different treatment methods in different years, which is very complicated.

Like the main medicinal effect of the nine-hundred-year-old purple jade grass, it is in its stem, when processing medicinal materials, only the stem is needed, and the other parts must be thrown away. And if the purple jade grass reaches a thousand years, the main medicinal effect is in the roots, and at this time, the alchemy only needs the roots, and the leaves and stems must be disposed of.

At this time, Luo Xiangwen once again showed amazing ability. He took out a jade knife, the jade knife turned into a phantom, and swept over the medicinal materials, the leaves and rhizomes of the medicinal materials were broken one after another, and in more than ten breaths, Luo Xiangwen had already processed a large number of medicinal materials.

"Click, click—"

In the valley, tens of thousands of people held their breath, their eyes watching Luo Xiangwen's every move tightly. In the silence, only the sound of "clicking" of the cutting of medicinal herbs was heard endlessly, crisp and pleasant, like a beautiful piece of music, some disciples with strong understanding listened to it with a fascination, and their eyes lit up.

The sound of cutting medicinal herbs actually formed a beautiful music, Luo Xiangwen's method is already almost a skill, it is simply amazing.

On the elder seat, Great Elder Shao Yuanyang looked at Luo Xiangwen's action and nodded slightly. Although Luo Xiangwen's actions seem a little fancy, he is indeed a real skill, and he can have such a skill in his eighties, Luo Xiangwen is definitely a genius of alchemy.

Third Elder Huang Kaiwen looked at Luo Xiangwen's movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This time, it seems that Luo Xiangwen has already won. ”

Huang Kaiwen has a junior, and his alchemy skills are quite good. If Zhang Ye loses this game, then the position of the ninth elder of the outer gate can no longer be kept, and Huang Kaiwen can take advantage of this opportunity to arrange his juniors to the position of the ninth elder.

Second Elder Qian Shuqing had been silent all the time, but it was Luo Xiushui who spoke up, and she snorted coldly and said, "Third Elder, the game has just started, and you say that Elder Mu lost, it's too early." ”

Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "Selecting medicinal materials and handling medicinal materials are the basic skills of an alchemist. Elder Luo's basic skills were exceptionally good, and his alchemy skills were definitely also very good. Although Elder Mu had a good fire control technique, overall, he was not Elder Luo's opponent at all. Therefore, in this game, Elder Mu has already lost. ”

Luo Xiushui sneered and said, "Elder Huang, these words of yours are all your own speculation. Only when you see the elixir can you know who wins and who loses. yes, Sister Bamboo. ”

Zhu Changqing nodded lightly and said in a loud voice, "Not bad." Elder Luo's performance was good, but as soon as the game started, Elder Huang asserted that Elder Mu would lose, which was too much to say. ”

Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see." ”

"Dang!"

Luo Xiangwen finally finished cutting, and the jade knife in his hand was gently put down, making a clear sound. The tens of thousands of disciples in the valley suddenly came back to their senses, and tens of thousands of people roared in unison: "Okay!"

There was a cheer, and people turned their eyes to Zhang Ye. I saw that Zhang Ye was still dealing with the medicinal herbs, his movements were unremarkable, like an honest scalper, who didn't pay attention to the outside things at all, just farming honestly, without the slightest bit of fancy, and without the slightest superfluous action.

Zhang Ye's movements in handling medicinal herbs are not slow, but compared to Luo Xiangwen, he is much inferior. Not only is the speed inferior, but it is far less pleasing to the eye than Luo Xiangwen.

The disciples in the valley just glanced at Zhang Ye, and they were not interested in watching it. They shifted their gaze and set their eyes on Luo Xiangwen, looking forward to Luo Xiangwen's further performance.

Only a small number of inner disciples, after seeing Zhang Ye's simple movements, felt their hearts move, and silently paid attention to Zhang Ye's movements.

After processing the medicinal materials, the next thing to do is to refine the medicinal liquid. In this step, all the medicinal materials are removed from the impurities and refined into a medicinal liquid, which increases the success rate of alchemy.

Luo Xiangwen glanced at Zhang Ye contemptuously, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With a gentle dip in his palm, he grabbed a branch of herb and began to refine the liquid in the herb.
