Chapter 488: Dabi Second Round
After the group of people got the Dan furnace, they all hurriedly opened the furnace for alchemy, striving to refine a few more furnaces of the elixir before the second round of the big competition, so as to increase the degree of run-in with the machine spirit.
Unconsciously, the status of Xianmiao Peak was further improved. Ever since Qin Di became the Great Elder of the Four Holy Sects, those disciples who lived on the mountainside didn't dare to say a word of gossip anymore!
Before, some people felt resentful, thinking that a person like him who didn't know anything about the four arts of cultivation was not worthy of occupying the small world with the richest aura, and they wished that he could give up the position at the top of the peak and give the four sect masters to live in, but after some testing, everyone found out that Qin Di was actually a grandmaster who was proficient in the four arts, so everyone's eyes on him changed!
The strength of the cultivation realm is king, killing is ability, alchemy, refining array, refining weapons, and talisman making are all abilities. A person can have otherworldly strength, which can only be admired and frightened. Whether it's admiration or fear, no one dares to say anything unpleasant anyway.
After the first round of testing, the original hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Four Holy Sect Lingshan Headquarters were no more than 3,000 shortlisted for each item.
Nine months later, the second round of testing begins. This time, it is required to refine the pills, weapons, talismans, and arrays of the Nine Rank Spirit Rank! After passing, you can enter the third round.
Qin Di also understood that the reason why such rounds of tests were used was mainly because of the lack of high-level spirit grass and spiritual materials. Because the level of the contestants is uneven, there is no way to take out the heaven-level spirit materials or fairy grass as soon as they come up. Only by brushing down round by round can we save materials to the greatest extent.
As for wasting time, cultivators have time, and monks who have a lifespan of 100,000 years, so how can they be afraid of a big competition in just two or three years?
In the first round of testing, Qin Di only got three grandmasters and one great grandmaster, and it was not all because he was careless and blindly releasing water, mainly because the grade of the materials was too low, and it was difficult to refine the immortal pills, weapons, talismans, and arrays, so naturally there was no need to spend great energy to achieve a shocking effect.
In the second round of testing, fewer people participated, and the level of materials used was also raised, so it was easier to refine immortal products.
This day has finally arrived, and the Great Competition in the true sense of the Four Holy Sects is about to begin!
This is a once-in-3,000-year-old event, and such a scene is very rare, so I don't know how many people gathered around the altar! Those with good attitudes say that they are here to learn from it, and as ordinary people, they come to see the excitement. The crowd is crowded, and the huge square is impervious to wind and rain, and the water is impassable.
And as a monk above the step level, there is also a privilege, that is, you can climb the altar and calmly watch the competition from a high place.
There are more than 300 Buxu monks in the Four Holy Sects, and except for some who are still in deep retreat, the rest who can come have come! A total of 260 Buxu monks, plus more than 20 Hedao monks, and even the two Earth Immortal Ancestors who have been cultivating on the eighth and ninth peaks of Lingshan Mountain, have also come down the mountain! Moreover, it is said that they will also appear in person to participate in the Great Contest of the Four Arts of Cultivation! Because they will not miss the great sacrifice that occurs once in 3,000 years! If they want to get the blessing of the patriarch, they can pick a few smallpox!
One of these two earth immortals is from the Immortal Weapon Sect, named Huang Xianju, and the other is from the Immortal Fu Sect, which is a female cultivator named Luo Xianjing.
The four patriarchs who had been living on the top of Xianmiao Peak, except for the seventy-three days of Dayan in retreat, the remaining three also came, including the Earth Immortal Zhu Xian. As an Earth Immortal, she can skip the first two rounds of testing and start the third round. As for Shi Babao and Fang Jiufu, they were just monks of the Harmony Dao, so they had to participate in the second round of testing.
Since the earth immortals didn't make a move, people's eyes were focused on a few famous alchemy masters. Most of these people are true monarchs of the Dao, but there are also three or four monks who are at the peak of step voiding.
Before the game started, the people around were already talking:
"It is said that the nine alchemy masters of this sect, plus the sixty-three grandmasters, are all present, I don't know if it's true?"
"Of course it's true! If you can climb the altar, you can at least raise your skills to one level, such a good opportunity, who would want to miss it?"
"It's really spectacular, so many masters, I don't know who will win in the end after a few rounds of big competitions!"
"I'm optimistic about Sect Master Jin Shengying! He has been cultivating for 60,000 years, and I heard that as early as 40,000 years ago, he was an alchemy grandmaster! Now, he may be able to refine a second-order elixir!"
"Of course, Jin Shengying can become the Jindan Sect Master, and he has been doing it for nearly 10,000 years, which is well deserved!"
"In addition to Sect Master Jin, I am also optimistic about Zhang Shengche, Huo Shengzhang and Guan Shengqin, these Hedao True Monarchs are all veteran alchemy masters, they are very experienced, and they will definitely stand out!"
"In addition, there are four or five Buxu cultivators who are also very powerful! I heard that they are all able to refine a first-grade elixir, although the quality is a little different, and the number is not very large, but they are all considered alchemy masters. ”
Everyone was talking, and when Qin Di appeared, it attracted everyone's attention!
"Look, Uncle Qin has also appeared!"
"Last time, it only took him half a day to refine a flawless-level ninth-grade elixir, this time the level of the spirit grass has increased, I don't know if he can refine a first-order elixir?"
"First-order elixir? I think it's very suspenseful! Don't look at the difference from the Ninth Rank Spiritual Pill to the First-Order Immortal Pill is only one order, that is the difference between a grandmaster and a great grandmaster. A lot of people won't be able to cross that chasm in their lifetime!"
"Even if you can't refine a first-order elixir, you can refine a ninth-grade Supreme Treasure Elixir!"
"Haha, it's even more difficult to supreme pills! My ancestor has been refining pills all his life, and at most there has only been one furnace of flawless pills, and I have never seen the legendary supreme pill!"
"Can that be the same? Your master has been cultivating for more than 9,000 years, and he is still stuck at the peak of Bu Xu! Uncle Qin's ancestor has not been more than 2,000 years old since he was born! And he is already a monk of the Dao! This is not only a matter of resources and qualifications, but also intelligence and immortal fate. Hehe, your ancestor...... Aptitude...... You can't say this again, or I'm afraid you'll be upset. ”
"It's okay if I'm not happy, if it reaches my master's ears, I won't give you a big slap!"
Qin Di stood in the middle of the field and looked at the side, all of them were from a group of relatives, friends and disciples from Xianmiao Peak, Xu Zhenjun, Guo Zhenjun, Lan Xingshang, Li Zhenjun, Tie Zhenjun, Miao Yunjuan, Ning Yunzhi, Wu Meier, Shen Yunyi, Fan Yao, Long Jin'er, Guan Yin and others.
In the first round of testing, in order to test the true strength of the participants, they must use the mid-level alchemy furnace provided by the sect.
However, from the second round onwards, everyone will be able to use their own alchemy furnace. Because the later the competition, the higher the requirements for the alchemy furnace, although the Jindan Sect is famous for alchemy in Lingshan, there are not enough high-level Dan furnaces, let alone top-level Dan furnaces or Lingbao Dan furnaces, for so many monks to compete at the same time.
Furthermore, the contestants can have their own Lingbao Dan furnace, which is also one of the manifestations of their own strength.
Because Jin Shengying himself also has to participate, it is the Earth Immortal Zhu Xian who presides over the test in this round.
"The second round of the Four Holy Sects' Great Competition, the alchemy competition starts now!Please take out the alchemy furnace!"
With her old man's order, three thousand people each released the alchemy furnace!
All kinds of alchemy furnaces, some emitting dazzling white light, some faint red light, and some swarthy and inconspicuous, lined up in rows, standing on the huge square!
"Wow, look at the sect master's alchemy furnace! I've heard for a long time that he has a third-order psychic treasure tripod, and this is the first time I've seen it!"
"What a treasure! The color is golden, and at first glance it is the emperor in the alchemy furnace!"
"Uncle Zhang Shengche's alchemy furnace is a second-order spiritual treasure, it is also very precious, you look at the color, red with purple, it looks so simple, I heard that it was handed down by his master, I don't know how many thousands of years it has experienced!"
"There are more than 3,000 alchemy furnaces, I don't know how many spirit treasures there are, I guess there are at least seven or eight. ”
"It's hard to say, maybe a dozen. These alchemy masters all like to hide it, even if the spirit weapon in their hands is advanced to a spirit treasure, they will not say it. For fear of being snatched away by others. ”
"In addition to the Heavenly Spirit Treasure, there are more than a hundred ninth-order spiritual weapons! the rest are seventh- and eighth-order spiritual weapons. ”
"Oh, I don't ask for any spiritual treasures, when I can have a ninth-order spiritual weapon, I can die happily!"
"Hmph, you're a Jindan monk, and you still want to have a ninth-order spiritual weapon? What about dreaming? Look at the monks who participated in the second round, how many Jindan real people are there? Aren't they all monks above the Yuan Infant?"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey, no, isn't there a Jindan real person next to the Great Elder Qin Zhenjun?" You take a closer look, there is a sign on the ground in front of him, with his name, can you see clearly, what is his name?"
"It's too far away!
"I have cultivated a kind of eye skill, I can see clearly, that kid is called 'Guan Yin'!"
"Guan Yin, I don't know which True Monarch's disciple of Immortal Miao Peak is the only one who has entered the second round at such a young age!"
After a pause, another person exclaimed loudly: "Huh? I found another strange thing, you see, Qin Zhenjun's Dan furnace is gray-black, and it doesn't look luster at all! But look at the people around him, everyone's Dan furnace is shining! How can there be such a bright Dan furnace, it looks like it has just been refined!"
Many people had to nod: "Yes, I've seen it a long time ago! Those Dan furnaces are full of thief light, and they are not high-level at first glance." Because the fetish is obscure, how can it be so eye-catching?"
"It's really strange! This is a crucial contest, and as a result, the position of the great sacrifice is determined, and if the ranking is better, it will be closer to the altar. At such an important moment, why did you take out the Dan Furnace that had just been refined?"
"It's weird. I can't think of a reason for that. ”
"I don't think there's any need to pay attention to them, it's difficult for these people to get into the top 100, let alone enter the top 10! Comparatively, I want to know if the Dan Furnace in front of Qin Zhenjun is a spirit treasure. ”
"It should be Lingbao. The 80,000 acres of immortal fields in Xianmiao Peak are constantly upgrading, and the output of those few spiritual mines has increased by more than ten times. Xianmiao Peak is so rich, it's not easy to buy a Lingbao Pill furnace?"
"You're wrong. When the Heavenly Treasure falls into everyone's hands, it will be regarded as if it is their life, how can they be willing to sell it? Even if the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion gets it, there will be a large-scale auction. For so many years, my ancestor has been paying attention to the auction, but I have not seen a suitable Dan furnace. ”
"Don't say so much, let's wait and see, the game is about to start!"
At this time, the earth immortal Zhu Xian began to explain the rules of the game.
"In this round of competition, there are ten kinds of fairy grasses and two hundred and seventy-two kinds of spirit grasses to choose from. Each person can only select a maximum of two first-order immortal grasses, plus thirty spirit grasses! All immortal grasses and spirit grasses are distributed by a special person, and the contestants only need to name the list! Finally, the ranking is evaluated according to the grade and quality of the elixir. The top 100 go to the third round of finals!"
Immediately, some young disciples came up and presented a jade slip with a variety of herbs to choose from.
Qin Di took the jade slip and glanced at it with his divine sense, and quickly said a series of needed spirit grasses, as well as two kinds of fairy grasses.
To be honest, there are only two kinds of immortal grasses, and there are not many elixirs that can be refined.
These two kinds of fairy grass are called "Xianxian Gui" and "Purple King Peony" respectively. This is the main medicine of the two flavors for refining the "Eight Treasures Tonifying Elixir". If you choose only one, you can also refine the "Five Flavors Xiaoyao Pill". The former is a first-order elixir, and the latter is only a half-elixir. If you don't use these two main medicines, you can only refine an eighth-order or ninth-order elixir at most.
Qin Di had many plans in his mind, but they were all rejected by him. He felt that he didn't need to be ingenious to easily break into the hundred. Because this is not the last round of the big competition, there is no need to show all the strength.
The young disciple quickly brought over the spirit grass and fairy grass he needed.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he threw the fairy grass and spirit grass into the immortal pill furnace, and then placed the Lizun Divine Fire under the pill furnace, took out the immortal fire fan, and fanned the fire unhurriedly.
The onlookers were surprised again!
"Huh, how can Senior Uncle Qin be like this? With so many spirit grasses, thrown into them in one go, can they refine the elixir?"
"It's so strange! Although I haven't refined the Eight Treasures Replenishing Elixir, I still know the general steps. Qin Zhenjun had abandoned all the steps of alchemy, and he didn't have any techniques, let alone the complicated fire control! How could he refine the pill? If he did this, let alone the elixir, even if it was the nine-rank spirit pill, he was afraid that he would not succeed. ”
"Ahem, you're wrong. That's what he did in the first round of the competition, and it only took a few hours to pass the test quickly!"
"I've heard that after becoming an alchemy immortal, if you refine a low-level pill, you can master it and ignore the steps and techniques. Integrate into the Dan furnace with divine consciousness and manipulate the Dan Qi to condense. Could it be that Qin Zhenjun is already an alchemy immortal master?"
"Alchemy Immortal Master? Only those who refine the elixir above the second order can be called an immortal master. Qin Zhenjun can refine a second-order elixir?"
"I think it's possible, otherwise how could you be doing such alchemy? This is too careless!"
"Some people say that the road is simple! It is rumored that Taishang Laojun alchemy, as long as a boy fans the fire, he can ignore it!"
"Nonsense! Do you know what kind of Dan furnace Lao Jun used in alchemy? Maybe it's a ninth-order immortal weapon! Can Qin Zhenjun have that kind of immortal weapon?"
The audience kept discussing, and there were all kinds of theories.
