Chapter 90: The Competition
Zhao Hai glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "In another ten days, it is the day when the small competition of this sect is held, today, our Shendan Temple also holds a competition, all alchemy apprentices must participate, those who do not participate are regarded as abstaining, directly expelled from the Shendan Temple, and are not allowed to stay in the Shendan Hall to serve, each person will have fifteen alchemy materials, relying on the number of refined pills to rank, the top five will be rewarded, and the last five will be expelled from the Shendan Palace, now, the person who read the name, come forward, and each choose a Dan furnace, Chen Hai, Du Shan, Feng Jiao, Zhou Feng, Li Gang······ Chen Ming, Wu Tianbao, Lin Fan. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the crowd, and twenty alchemy apprentices walked out of the crowd one after another, each selected a Dan furnace, and a team of Qingyi disciples distributed alchemy materials.
"The alchemy competition, starting now, lasts for four hours, and no one is allowed to make noise. Zhao Yuanhai said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone was silent, and their eyes were focused on the alchemy apprentice who was alchemizing.
Of the twenty alchemy apprentices, some immediately began to refine the pill, some closed their eyes to recuperate, and some wiped the furnace.
Shi Yue held his breath and looked at Chen Ming intently.
Chen Ming asked for five copies of each of the three pills, and after he meditated for a quarter of an hour, he began to refine the pills.
I saw that he first wiped the inside of the Dan furnace clean, and then put a piece of spiritual charcoal at the bottom of the Dan furnace and lit it.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Ming poured a piece of material into the Dan furnace and covered the lid.
It didn't take long for a faint fragrance to waft out of the Dan furnace, and a faint fragrance filled the hall.
Obviously, the twenty alchemy apprentices all chose to refine the Bigu Dan first, so they didn't know who had the higher success rate.
--
After another quarter of an hour, Chen Ming and the others opened the lid one after another, got up and took a closer look.
The expressions of the people were different, some were happy, some were annoyed, and some were worried.
They put the refined Bigu Dan into a porcelain vase prepared in advance and began to refine the second furnace.
Time passed little by little, and the alchemy apprentices refined one furnace after another of pills, some were happy and some were sad.
Four hours later, all the alchemy apprentices had finished refining, and Zhao Yuanhai counted the number of pills refined by the alchemy apprentices in front of everyone.
"Chen Hai, there are ninety-five Bigu Pills, forty-two Qi Refining Pills, and twenty-eight Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
"Du Shan, ninety-six Bigu Pills, twenty Qi Refining Pills, and one Qi Nourishing Pill. ”
"Feng Jiao, seventy-two Bigu Pills, forty-three Qi Refining Pills, and ten Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
······
"Chen Ming, eighty-four Bigu Pills, thirty-two Qi Refining Pills, and three Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
"Wu Tianbao, ninety-two Bigu Pills, forty-two Qi Refining Pills, and zero Qi Nourishing Pills.
"Lin Fan, one hundred and nine Bigu Pills, fifty Qi Refining Pills, and zero Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
After Zhao Yuanhai counted the number of pills refined by an alchemy apprentice, he would shout out the number of types of pills, and the middle-aged woman on the side would take notes.
"The following twenty people, each selected the Dan furnace and prepared for alchemy, Chen Beixuan, Ye Fan, Wei Dabao, Zhang Wuxin······ Yang Guo, Ye Qin. Zhao Yuanhai took out a roster and read it aloud.
As soon as the words fell, the twenty alchemy apprentices immediately walked out of the crowd, each selected a Dan furnace, and sat down cross-legged.
After Zhao Yuanhai asked the twenty alchemy apprentices to distribute alchemy materials, the alchemy apprentices began to alchemy.
Shi Yue and other alchemy apprentices were watching from the sidelines, no one dared to speak, and looked at others with a serious face.
For the same kind of elixir, different people's refining methods have very different baking times.
It didn't take long for a thick medicinal fragrance to spread throughout the Divine Pill Temple.
Four hours later, the twenty alchemy apprentices stopped alchemy.
After Zhao Yuanhai finished counting, he read the names of twenty more people, and the twenty alchemy apprentices immediately walked out of the crowd.
The alchemy competition lasted for a total of two days and one night, and Shi Yue was among the last group of people.
Fifteen materials, Shi Yue asked for five materials for refining Bigu Dan and ten materials for refining Qi Dispersion.
Shi Yue first wiped the Dan furnace clean, and then after meditating for a quarter of an hour, he began to refine the Dan.
He first began to refine Bigu Dan, and he had refined Bigu Dan many times, and the success rate was okay.
The first furnace of Bigu Dan, twenty-three.
The second furnace, twenty-one.
The third furnace, twenty-one.
······
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, the last furnace remained.
Shi Yue sat in front of the Dan furnace, his face full of solemnity.
It didn't take long for Shi Yue to extinguish the fire when the medicinal fragrance was strong to the extreme.
When I opened the lid, I saw that there were seven cyan pills the size of a dragon's eye lying inside.
"When the time comes, stop alchemy if you don't finish refining, otherwise you will be disqualified. Zhao Yuanhai's gaze quickly swept over Shi Yue and the others, and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the two men who were still fanning the wind stopped, their faces full of frustration.
"Wang Guangyi, there are ninety-four Bigu Pills, thirty-two Qi Refining Pills, and zero Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
"Chen Tingting, ninety-five Bigu Pills, forty-nine Qi Refining Pills, and seven Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
"Wu Yajun, one hundred and four Bigu Pills, forty-five Qi Refining Pills, and ten Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
······
Zhao Yuanhai began to count the number of pills that everyone had refined, and it didn't take long for him to come to Shi Yue.
Shi Yue handed over the refined pills, and the refined pills were all placed in a wooden box on the ground, and no one could cheat.
Zhao Yuanhai poured all the pills refined by Shi Yue into a bamboo basket, swept his senses, raised his eyebrows, and shouted loudly: "Shi Yue, one hundred and nine Bigu Pills, thirty-five Qi Refining Pills, and zero Qi Nourishing Pills." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged beauty on the side hurriedly took a note.
When Zhao Yuanhai counted the number of pills that everyone had refined, he announced the final results.
The eyes of all the alchemy apprentices were focused on Zhao Yuanhai, and everyone's expressions were relatively nervous.
Zhao Yuanhai glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The results of this alchemy competition, there are five alchemy apprentices who have performed well, these five people are Chen Yajun, Zhou Dahai, Wei Dabao, Chen Beixuan, Wu Zun, these five people can each get a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill and a hundred spirit stones, and there are five people whose performance is quite poor, these five people are Ding Wei, Li Yunhu, Zhao Ming, Liu Shan, Wang Hai, according to the rules, these five people immediately handed back the entry and exit tokens, expelled from the Shendan Temple, and were not allowed to serve in the Shendan Palace, I will post the list later, everyone can go and take a look, don't be proud if you have good grades, and work hard for those with poor grades. ”
Hearing this, many people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, including Shi Yue.
The top five, of course, were smiling, while the last five were full of frustration and reluctantly handed over the access token and turned to leave.
"Alright, now line up to get this month's mission. After Zhao Yuanhai gave out rewards to the top five, he shouted loudly.
Hearing this, all the alchemy apprentices immediately lined up in front of Zhao Yuanhai.
"Zhao Gang, give you fifty pieces of materials for refining qi dispersion and one hundred pieces of spirit charcoal, and at the end of the month, you will hand over five hundred pieces of qi refining dispersion. ”
"Chen Tian, give you fifty copies of the materials for refining the Qi Nourishing Pill and fifty pieces of spiritual charcoal, and at the end of the month, you will hand over three hundred Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
"Wang Dazhi, give you one hundred and fifty materials for refining Bigu Dan and one hundred and fifty pieces of spiritual charcoal, and at the end of the month, you will hand over 1,300 Bigu Dan. ”
······
"Li Wenbin, give you one hundred copies of the materials for refining the Qi Nourishing Pill, and at the end of the month, you will hand over six hundred Qi Nourishing Pills. ”
Zhao Yuanhai arranged alchemy tasks for everyone, and the same kind of elixir, the amount handed in by different people was also different.
It didn't take long for Shi Yue to come to Zhao Yuanhai.
Zhao Yuanhai looked Shi Yue up and down, and asked curiously, "Senior Nephew Shi, when did you learn to refine and refine Qi Dispersion?"
"The disciple learned it half a month ago, because the Cheng Dan rate is not high, I didn't tell Uncle Zhao, after learning that the alchemy competition was going to be held, the disciple bought some materials to practice, and there was a Cheng Dan rate of three percent in a daze, but let the disciple refine it again, I'm afraid it is not so high. Shi Yue thought about it for a moment and said sincerely.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanhai nodded and said: "Shi Yue, give you twenty materials for refining Qi Dispersion and twenty pieces of spirit charcoal, and at the end of the month, you will hand over two hundred Qi Dispersion, if you can complete the task, you will have two hundred spirit stones." ”
After speaking, he took out a storage bag from his arms and threw it to Shi Yue.
