These are just episodes of what we have described in the previous chapter.

Lin Ziqian took Gu Ming and Mingyue all the way to He Xiuyuan.

Everyone greeted each other and saluted, and then Lin Ziqian came to the seat of the guest of honor beside He Xiuyuan and sat down.

Only Gu Ming and Gou Desheng, the two contestants, were left at the scene, standing in front of the two Dan furnaces in the middle of the alchemy room.

Gu Ming bowed to Gou Desheng.

In other words, this guy is still a senior brother after all.

Gou Desheng returned the gift.

Gu Ming was surprised to find that today's "back-pot man" seems to be confident!

Aha?

You seem to think that you have won today, so don't cry when you lose!

The two stared at each other for a moment.

A look of contempt and defiance appeared on Gou Desheng's face, and the smell of gunsmoke filled the air.

Just when the two looked at each other, before they knew it, the time had arrived.

A middle-aged teacher, seeing that the hour had come, came to the hall master and said something, because the scene was noisy, the people around him could not hear clearly.

He Xiuyuan nodded, and then turned sideways to ask Lin Ziqian's meaning.

After the left and right signaled that they were ready, He Xiuyuan spoke out to stop the whispers of the "melon-eating masses" around him.

"Please protect the silence of those present!"

"According to the agreement, a Dan Dao competition between disciples will be held here today, and I will explain the relevant content and rules of the competition to both parties as the host of this competition. ”

"Compete on both sides. One side is Gou Desheng, the apprentice of the Danshi of the Dan Medicine Palace, and the other side is Gu Ming, the apprentice of the Dan Master, the registered disciple of the Medicine Master Gu Lin Ziqian. ”

"The content of the competition. It is a first-order Qi Seeking Pill refining, and the time limit for the competition is three hours. ”

"In front of each of the two sides of the competition, there are ten copies of pills, and the one with the largest number of pills refined within the specified time wins. The quantity is the same, and the higher quality wins. The quantity and quality are the same, and the three judges on the scene will rule on the refining techniques and on-site performance of the two!"

"Can you hear the two of you?"

Gu Ming and Gou Desheng nodded in unison.

"If you and the other two have any questions, can you raise them now?"

The two said they had no objection.

"Okay, please put both sides of the competition in place, confirm that the Dan furnace and Dan materials are correct, and wait for the judges to announce the start of the competition. ”

After Gu Ming bowed to the host again, he carefully checked the condition of the two Dan furnaces, the furnace fire and the Dan materials, and after confirming that the situation of both parties was the same, he turned around and walked to the Dan furnace in front of Lin Ziqian's seat.

Gu Ming, who was sitting on the futon, looked back at his master Lin Ziqian.

The master smiled and bowed slightly.

But Mingyue next to him made a grimace at him, and then secretly flashed a big hammer from behind him and shook it behind him.

Eh, senior brother, are you intimidating me to punish me if I lose the game, or are you planning to attack Gou Desheng after I lose the game?

Neither can be good!!

Looking around again, feeling the gaze of hundreds of eyes, he smiled in his heart.

In other words, this is much smaller than the scene of the college student debate tournament I participated in when I was in college in my previous life!

When his eyes found Tian Na's figure, this young lady was still hiding behind Qin Lan, secretly pouting to herself, gesturing with cheering gestures.

Hehe, this girl is so cute!

Inadvertently, Gu Ming noticed that there were two pairs of particularly bright eyes in the crowd, although they were far away and hidden in the noisy crowd, but these eyes that could make people dream could only be them.

Gu Ming couldn't help but smile happily!

Ouch! This little competition can actually make the twin sisters with beautiful eyes come to you!

Of course, Gou Desheng's three "little brothers" in the crowd are indispensable.

Then, I also saw faces like Zhang Lang who only had "one side".

With so many familiar people coming to the scene to "watch", I have to do my best!

Gu Ming retracted his gaze and began to close his eyes and breathe to gather his mind, waiting for the start of the competition.

Gou Desheng saw that Gu Ming had been looking around, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart, recalling that since he was "humiliated" in front of the courtyard of Keqing last time, he was repaired by Qian Jiao when he came back, and it was a shame to throw it to his grandmother's house.

Gu Ming: Hey, you asked for it, right?!

But fortunately, with the help of teaching and junior brothers, I have worked hard for more than a month, and now I have half a foot on the threshold of Yipin Danshi, this time I must be ashamed, so that Gu Ming can also taste the taste of being trampled underfoot.

Just when Gou Desheng secretly swore an oath, the time was just before the time.

"The competition begins!"

With the order of the chief judge, today's competition officially began.

......

The mantra is like the wind, and the spiritual power is like electricity.

The fire eye under the alchemy furnace slowly opened, and the enthusiasm of the surrounding crowd gradually rose with the temperature of the Dan furnace.

The furnace is in good condition, and the furnace is opened for medicine.

Gu Ming and Gou Desheng signaled the medicine boy in front of the Dan furnace to join the Dan material at the same time.

Yes, Lin Ziqian nodded.

The process of condensation is more critical, and Gu Ming carefully felt the situation of Dan material refining.

Nima, this Dan furnace is slightly different from the Dan room. Although the grade is the same, the quality is worse, and the control of the firepower is also poor, and Gu Ming almost made mistakes in several details in a row.

On the other hand, Gou Desheng is more familiar with the situation here, and he is more familiar with the operation, so far, he is slightly better at handling the details.

Muma, this is the so-called home advantage!

Gu Ming was indignant.

Sure enough, the deficiency of the condensate stage was magnified again in the Xuandan stage, and the impurity of the Dan liquid caused the imbalance of the Xuandan, and Gu Ming's first refining soon ended in failure.

It's okay, it's the first time I've been a practitioner!

It's just a little bit! Normal, keep normal!

Although Gu Ming was a little regretful, he was not affected by the defeat, nor was he affected by the smooth harvesting of Dan by Gou Desheng next to him.

A qi-seeking pill goes down to the stomach, and the Changchun Gong is run with his eyes closed.

While recovering the aura, he can also summarize the experience of failure, this is Lin Ziqian's teaching, and it is also a habit that Gu Ming has formed through this month's alchemy.

Seeing that Gu Ming's refining failed, he began to exercise his skills to recover his aura, and Gou Desheng held the pill that had just been successfully refined and smiled coldly!

Hmph, if you can't cultivate, that's it, you can't keep up with refining aura once!

Just like you, you still want to compare with me!

He placed the elixir in his hand in the wooden box beside him, and immediately began the second refining.

He Xiu foresight saw that Gou Desheng was better than Gu Ming in the first round of refining, and he felt a lot more relieved.

He smiled at Qian Jiao, who was sitting on his right hand, and said, "Desheng, this kid is doing well today, and he has worked hard to teach recently!"

Qian Zhongda also smiled happily: "There is a memory of the master of the labor hall!

He Xiuyuan glanced at Lin Ziqian intentionally or unintentionally, but Lin Ziqian didn't see it, but what he saw was the bright moon boy who was blocking in front of the master.

Mingyue stared at He Xiuyuan's big eyes, revealing a look of "unhappy, don't mess with me"!

He Xiuyuan smiled and continued to turn his head to look at the competition.

The process of the competition is long and boring.

According to the normal situation, according to the cultivation and alchemy level of the Dan master's apprentice, he could refine the first-order pill at most 3 or 4 times in three hours, and if he was doing it with all his strength, it would be 5 or 6 times at most.

Therefore, the two people in today's competition kept carrying out simple and boring actions, and the onlookers gradually lost their interest at the beginning, and everyone began to talk about other things.

It is said that insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

The people outside the alchemy room are obviously more lively than the people in the circle.

There is a lot of talk!

There are those who talk about the past and the present!

There are even those who talk about marriage!

It's that there are fewer people talking about the test itself.

Muma, it's hot and crowded here, and the air is not good, why don't you watch the competition, why are you here!

Wouldn't it be more pleasant to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to sit down and drink tea and chat?!

If Gu Ming heard it, he would definitely scold them like this, but now he couldn't hear the voices of others at all, and all his attention was focused on alchemy.

System: Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Qi Seeking Pill (lower grade) and +2 alchemy experience!

The second refining was successful!

It's a pity that the fire control is still poor, and the impurities are not refined enough during the condensate, resulting in the low quality of the elixir.

Gu Ming, who had recovered his aura, summed up the experience of the last refining and successfully started the third pill refining.

System: Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Qi Seeking Pill (lower grade) and +2 alchemy experience!

The third refining was also successful!

But the problem this time is that the aura is weak when spinning the pill, and the pill type is not complete.

Lin Ziqian, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this.

As a little disciple of his own, it is a hard injury if he does not cultivate enough!

Since the cultivation competition is also a part of the competition, you can't take any other pills except for the Qi Seeking Pill provided by the judges in the competition.

According to Gu Ming's cultivation in the early stage of qi refining, the sea of qi had not yet been fully opened up to the maximum, and the aura that the sea of qi could store now was really not enough to support such a high-intensity continuous alchemy.

Even if he relied on the help provided by the metamorphosis bonus of the level 1 alchemy technique, Gu Ming made up for the gap with Gou Desheng in alchemy skills, but the gap in cultivation could not rely on the system to obtain bonuses.

PS: Alchemy Level 1: Increase the success rate of first-order pills by 10%, increase the success rate of second-order pills by 5%, and increase the success rate of second-order pills by 1%.

Sure enough, the problem of insufficient spiritual energy that was revealed in the third refining was even more obvious in the fourth refining.

The condensation stage was barely completed, but when it came to the Xuandan, the Xuandan interface of the alchemy system encountered a meteor crossing the midnight.

The result was obvious, when the system prompted that the elixir refining had failed, Gu Ming still sighed regretfully.

Four times of refining, two successes, and two low-grade Qi Seeking Pills!

With a 50% success rate at the moment, this is already his best result!

In terms of actual ability, it is good to be able to achieve one success in three times at the level of one's own operation level, relying on the 10% success rate added by the Level 1 Alchemy, and the overall success rate of 50% is already the current limit.

Just as the medicine boy was cleaning the Dan furnace, Gu Ming glanced at Gou Desheng's situation, which made him a little moved!

Also four times succeeded twice!

Oh, no, just when Gu Ming's pranayama was restored, Gou Desheng's fifth refining was successful again, and judging from the quality of the pill, it should be a medium-grade pill!

Three times out of five successes, at least one of which is a medium-grade pill!

The situation is not good!

Gu Ming sighed slightly.
