Chapter 235: A Strange Land
But among the rest of the people, the pills that appeared on the last day to be refined were all exactly the same, they were all unknown pills, and they all had a simple introduction to the medicinal properties, and it was indeed necessary to select the most suitable one among the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine kinds of herbs, and the difficulty was simply terrifying.
Subsequently, those extremely experienced alchemists quickly selected these herbs according to the medicinal properties of the pills, and all the plants that did not meet were eliminated.
Even so, there are as many as a thousand beads of herbs left, and for a third-grade alchemist, it is extremely difficult to refine a thousand beads of herbs at one time.
Among them, there are two young men, who have indeed been at ease, and they are also the only two fourth-grade alchemists who participated in this trip to Huludao.
You must know that in the Tian Yuan Continent, being able to reach the level of a fourth-grade alchemist before the age of thirty is definitely the leader of the way of alchemy, after all, there is an extremely huge gap between a third-grade alchemist and a fourth-grade alchemist.
Some alchemists, all their lives, are stuck at the peak of the third-grade alchemist, and now Ye Fan is just barely able to enter the third-grade alchemist, the only difference is that Ye Fan's alchemy technique is too much beyond the rest of the alchemists, and Ye Fan's soul power is extremely pure, I am afraid that even those fifth-grade alchemy masters, in terms of the purity of the soul power alone, it is only on par with Ye Fan.
This makes Ye Fan's alchemy success rate extremely high, even if he refines the three-grade pill, he can approach a ninety percent chance of success, but to achieve one hundred percent success, I'm afraid it will take a long way.
After all, alchemy is easy to get started, but it is indeed very difficult to improve to a high level, and if you want to achieve 100% success in refining a grade of elixir, it is even more difficult.
These two fourth-grade alchemists obviously came to compete for the top spot.
After all, winning the first place, you can be accepted as a registered disciple by Master Gu, and this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step is naturally what every alchemist dreams of.
These two alchemists regarded each other as their only opponents, after all, it was impossible for the third-grade alchemists to pose any threat to them at all.
One of them wearing purple clothes is a disciple of Xuanwu Kingdom, Medicine King Valley, named Xie Wenhua, who is now twenty-seven years old, is the second time to participate in the pill competition in Huludao, Medicine King Valley, almost half of it is alchemists, Xuanwu Kingdom has many forces, all of them are implicated in the Medicine King Valley, the Medicine King Valley will take out a lot of pills every year, auctioned in various auctions, there are dozens of alchemy masters in the valley sitting in the array, among which the valley master Yaochen is the peak alchemy master of the five grades, and the entire Xuanwu Kingdom is only less than a hand, reaching the peak alchemy master of the five gradesγ
It can be seen how strong this Medicine King Valley is.
Moreover, the five-grade alchemy master must be a Yuanying cultivator, so the entire Medicine King Valley is the third-ranked existence among the ten major sects of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
The other one is also not small, he is a disciple of the Luoxia Sect, named Feng Bu.
Although the Luoxia Sect is far inferior to the Medicine King Valley in terms of alchemy, Luoxia Mountain is indeed very famous in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, because this mountain is said to have fallen to extraterritorial immortals back then, and in the future, this mountain can be entered once every few decades.
There were many precious herbs in it, and there were even many of them, all of which were almost extinct in the Tian Yuan Continent.
And there are many sects that once coveted the things on Luoxia Mountain, but at that time, one of the three major gods in Zhongzhou, the Void Sage, personally came forward, outside the Luoxia Sect, arranged an extremely powerful prohibition, if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, triggering this prohibition, even if it is a strong Yuanying person, it will fall on the spot, and then the Xuanwu Sect even came forward to form an alliance with the Luoxia Sect, making the originally inconspicuous Luoxia Sect become one of the top ten sects, ranking ninth.
And this sect naturally will not waste the rare medicinal herbs on the mountain, and now that it has been precipitated for many years, excellent alchemists are also emerging in endlessly.
Although it is far inferior to the Medicine King Valley, in terms of alchemy alone, it is indeed far superior to the rest of the sects.
Both of them came with the mission of the sect, and they were bound to strive for the first place.
Now this first month's assessment is just an appetizer for these two people.
Then at the end of the first month, the top 50 alchemists will automatically advance.
And Ye Fan completed them all, with a total of twenty points, temporarily ranking in the top five, like Ye Fan, there are only five people who have successfully refined all the pills, and the remaining nineteen points occupy seven or eight people, generally around seventeen points, and the competition can be described as fierce.
And for the sake of fairness, there is an extra try for the same number of points.
The top five people have been rewarded and can rest for half a month, and they only need to wait until the second half of the round to compete.
Because of the rules for the second month, there are some changes.
In the first half of the second month, ten times of alchemy, it needs to be successfully refined seven times, otherwise it will be eliminated directly.
And in the second half of the month, every time the refining is successful, the next pill will appear, a total of ten times, and two of the ten pills can be abandoned.
At this time, in the secret room, the middle-aged alchemist who presided over the meeting said with some doubts: "Master, why do you suddenly want to change the rules. β
The white-haired old man slowly spoke: "This time, the old man plans to use the power of divine consciousness again to open the secret of the treasure gourd. β
When the middle-aged man heard this, he eagerly dissuaded: "Master, now that you don't have much life, you are forcibly using the power of divine sense, I'm afraid it's right. β
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the old man said: "Shan'er, I have lived enough for the teacher, and I have been trapped at the peak of the Yuanying for the teacher."
Two hundred years, the remaining longevity, is not much, if it is not forcibly taken a few longevity pills, I have already seen the master, and now the reason why I am still alive in the world is nothing more than to want to understand the secret of this treasure gourd, Shan'er, you are the most proud disciple of the teacher, if you were the teacher, you can meet you earlier, maybe with your alchemy attainments, you can really understand the secret of this gourd, open this gourd, it's a pity. β
When he said this, the old man sighed.
The middle-aged monk opened his mouth and comforted: "Master, this time the gourd has been lit by a third, much more than in previous years, maybe there is really hope." β
The old man nodded: "That's why I have to do this, do this, when the time comes, once I forcibly use my divine sense to stimulate the power of the gourd, those alchemists will be directly ingested into the gourd world, if they can't successfully refine the designated pill, this life, will stay in it forever." β
The middle-aged man nodded, for these top powerhouses, the lives of some low-level cultivators were really nothing.
Ye Fan naturally didn't know that a conspiracy was slowly unfolding.
At this moment, those alchemists in the outside world, after seeing the rankings, some people were happy, some people were worried, and after Master Yu saw Ye Fan's rankings, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Unexpectedly, it is much better than I originally imagined, and it seems that this disciple may bring a bigger surprise to himself. β
Later, after hearing the change of the rules, there was nothing strange about those alchemists, after all, the change of this rule could actually eliminate some alchemists with a relatively poor level, and those excellent ones would naturally be left behind.
Ye Fan took advantage of this half a month to constantly comprehend this law of time.
Ye Fan frowned, "Why is this happening, this law of time, I always feel that I am covered by something, and I can't understand the truth." β
As time passed, it soon came to the second half of the second month, and some alchemists were eliminated.
Then in the secret room, the gray-haired old man shot out a spell in his hand, and then an extremely powerful cultivation force escaped, and the gourd in front of him spun for a while, and suddenly emitted a dazzling green light on it.
Then there were still forty remaining alchemists, and the cave where they were located suddenly shook.
Ye Fan was also taken aback, "What's going on." β
The shaking then lasted for about three breaths.
After the shaking stopped, the whole space had changed.
Ye Fan suddenly noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed, and murmured softly, "Where is this?"
The place that appeared in front of me was extremely unfamiliar, as if I had arrived in a secret realm.
