Chapter 23: Goodbye Righteousness
"Gongsun Daoyou, what do you think this matter should be?" Daoxuan Zhenren is an old man who looks to be more than seventy years old and in good spirits, but he is more than four hundred years old this year, and he has always had a great Confucian demeanor, at this moment his eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled and asked Gongsun Fang, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon on the side.
"Shenquan Palace is a two-yuan baby, the strength is far beyond us, Dongzhou's cultivation resources are divided by strength, presumably Nalan Mountain will make a breakthrough again, and the benefits that should be obtained will not tolerate less than half a point, as long as you don't do anything that shakes the foundation of Dongzhou, it is a blessing, we and other factions should be Taoguang and obscure, and they are committed to the cultivation of younger generations, and it is not appropriate to turn their faces with Shenquan Palace for the time being. "Gongsun Fang seems to be heroic and straightforward, but as the head of a faction, how can his mind be really simple and short-sighted.
"Gongsun Daoyou is an old man's words, what he said is good, the cultivation realm is respected by strength, and the Shenquan Palace is stronger than us, so it is natural to get more cultivation resources, but if you really have that ambition, what should you do?" Qiu Yunzi frowned slightly, "This time, Nalan Mountain did not come, with his scheming not to do such an inappropriate thing, I am afraid that he will really go further." β
"It's a bit of a strange thing. Gongsun Fang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "If it really comes to that time, my three factions should join forces to reject the Shenquan Palace, so as to keep the incense of the sect from extinguishing." β
"That's right, tomorrow is the **** period, and it's not too late to talk about everything in detail after ****. Dao Xuan Zhenren said at the right time.

The next day, Elder Qi Qing of the Alchemy Society finally arrived in the Jianyun Sect, Elder Qi Qing is a five-grade alchemist, highly respected by all factions, and this time he came to promote the successful holding of the sect **** as a representative of the Alchemy Society, and also played the role of a referee.
Stand at the front desk of the VIP seats. Qiu Yunzi looked at the crowded square, there were hundreds of monks in the field, all of them were disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect, although there were tens of thousands of disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect, but there were only these three or four hundred people who really became alchemists, and many of them were occasionally lucky enough to be able to practice a lowest-level finished pill.
After a while, Qi Qing, who was sitting in the VIP seat, chuckled: "Old man to make a long story short, if you can stand out in this competition, you will definitely be vigorously cultivated by the sect, and the champion can also get the rewards raised by the four major sects and my alchemy club, as for what it is, it is not too late to reveal it in the end, please all the contestants now." Let's get into your seat. β
Although the square was boiling at this moment, it was difficult to hear the sound of the bell, but Qi Qing's chuckling voice still sounded in everyone's ears. It can be seen that this seemingly weak old man is also extremely extraordinary.
After listening to Qi Qing's words, on the VIP seat, many alchemists suddenly stood up. These alchemists were all trained or co-opted by the sects that were invited and had good strength.
Because of the support of the forces behind it. The level of these alchemists, in general, is a little higher than that of the disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect, after all, the Sword Cloud Sect is the host, so as long as they can do alchemy, they basically come out to fill the faΓ§ade, which is also the practice of the previous hosts.
Xiao Xuan also participated in this ****, because he is a personal disciple, and the number of personal disciples is noble and very small, so it is necessary to master alchemy, even if the level is not high, more or less must be able to refine one or two pills.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan unexpectedly saw an unexpected person, "Mingyi Daoyou, why are you here?"
"Xiao Xuan Daoyou, I accompanied my master to participate in this sect ****, it turns out that you are a disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect. Mingyi also saw Xiao Xuan, and looked at the place where Gongsun Fang, the head of the Tianyuan faction, was located, Xiao Xuan realized that Mingyi was a disciple of Gongsun Fang's predecessors.
Xiao Xuan said with a sincere face, "Thank you for your rescue that day, I don't want Daoyou to not only cultivate to a high level, but also be proficient in alchemy!"
"Xiao Daoyou misunderstood, he came down to participate in the sect competition later, and the alchemy is really ...... Ignorant. After Mingyi finished speaking, his cheeks turned unusually red.
"I see, I'm going to try it next, so I'll retire first, and I'll pay a visit another day. Xiao Xuan saw that his fellow disciples and brothers were all in place one after another, so he confessed and walked towards Han Xiu'er's location.
Leng Zhongcheng saw Xiao Xuan coming, so he said, "Hehe, Shizun hasn't come out of retreat, so you can't come to watch us compete, but we must go all out, and we can't embarrass his old man, Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Sister Han, your position is over there, ...... later"
Following Leng Zhongcheng's point, the three of them cast their eyes. The three of them looked at the position, but their expressions were all a little different. Yang Fan was a little excited in surprise, Xiu'er was curious and eager to try, and Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment and then frowned slightly, his position was a little conspicuous, obviously with his temperament, he didn't like this kind of limelight position.
"Okay, several, let's work hard......" Leng Zhongcheng smiled.
"Two, I'm one step ahead. Yang Fan smiled and strode towards his alchemy position.
Leng Zhongcheng also nodded at Xiao Xuan and the others, and then returned to his position without delay, took out the Dan furnace, and adjusted his state.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I'm going!" Han Xiu'er moved slightly, smiling at Xiao Xuan, causing Zhong Liqi behind him to grit his teeth, and secretly hated in his heart, "Boy, today I will completely trample you under your feet." β
Xiao Xuan didn't pay any attention to Zhong Li'er's blue and white face, but after saying goodbye to Han Xiu'er softly, he stood in front of a slightly raised platform, this is his position, no coincidence is not a book, the two sides of Xiao Xuan's position are Han Xiu'er and Zhong Li'er.
Xiao Xuan's eyes swept over the platform and found that on the stone platform, a medicinal herb was neatly stacked. In front of the medicinal herbs, a jade slip lay quietly.
Xiao Xuan took the jade slip with his hand, and his divine sense browsed it, and he was a little stunned to find that this was actually a prescription for a first-grade elixir.
What made Xiao Xuan speechless the most was that in addition to the name of "Xuanyu Dan" on this prescription, only the amount of various medicinal materials was recorded, as for the refining technique, how much time it takes, and the functional efficacy is not said, which requires the alchemist to grasp the composition of the medicinal power and fuse these details, which undoubtedly raises the failure rate of refining the pill to a terrifying point.
However, to make all the contestants happy, it is the medicinal materials placed on the stone platform, on which there are three portions of medicinal materials, that is, everyone has three chances, and this humanized rule has undoubtedly saved many people.
Of course, if the finished pill has not been refined after the medicinal materials have been completely consumed, then there will be no choice but to leave the market.
"Sure enough, it's a well-known festival in Dongzhou, this kind of difficulty...... Those with average qualifications may fail in the first round. Holding the jade slip, Xiao Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Turning his head to look around, he found that many alchemists had some bitterness on their faces, and they turned their heads to look at Han Xiu'er and Zhong Liqi on the left and right.
The two of them were much calmer, and now they were frowning slightly and carefully reading the contents of the jade slip, and after a while, Zhong Liqi actually showed a look of ecstasy, Xuanyu Dan, this pill he has refined many times, it seems that God really helps me.
Han Xiu'er didn't say a word, and directly opened the Ding to refine the elixir, Xiao Xuan sighed lightly, although this first competition, although it seemed difficult, but it was extremely simple for him.
The composition of various medicinal powers and refining techniques are not introduced on the jade slip, but with the alchemy methods given by the wordless heavenly book, it is naturally extremely easy.
All he had to do was to refine the essence of the medicinal herbs, then analyze the attribute components of various medicinal herbs, and finally select the most suitable fusion ingredients to condense them into pills.
When Xiao Xuan retracted his gaze, Zhong Liqi also sent his gaze over, and saw the bitter smile on the former's face that had not yet dissipated.
Zhong Liqi sneered lowly, and said softly: "Hmph, I said a long time ago, I will definitely let you see what the gap is, and then, let me see how you make a fool of yourself in front of Senior Sister Han, waste ......"
With the cultivation of one of the nine main peaks of the Sword Cloud Sect, Zhong Liqi has full confidence in this conference, even if he can't win the championship, he will definitely have a lot of results.
On the huge square, all the contestants were holding jade slips and reading them with various expressions on their faces. For a time, the whole square was silent......
The quiet atmosphere lasted for nearly a cup of tea, and a crisp bell rang quietly in the square. All the contestants invariably put down the items in their hands, and with a move of their palms, they were instantaneous. Hundreds of Ding furnaces of different colors and shapes suddenly appeared on the stone platform.
As the bell rang, Qi Qing, who had slightly closed his eyes, also opened his eyes, his gaze swept down, and a gentle voice resounded in everyone's ears: "I think you have also understood something, this first round of assessment requires you to refine the finished pill according to this incomplete prescription." Each of you has three chances. After three times, the elixir has not been successfully refined, so everything will be eliminated and ......"
"The game is limited to two pillars of incense. β
"You guys, did you hear clearly?" Qi Qing smiled.
"Hear me clearly!" In the square below, the sound that should have come forward roared upwards like a drum.
"Now that you have heard it clearly, then this sect announces that the first round of the competition, now, begins!" Qiu Yunzi on the side slowly stood up after receiving Qi Qing's instructions, and announced the start of the game in a neutral voice.
As soon as the words fell, under Qiu Yunzi's gaze, on the huge square, under the furnaces, flames transformed by spiritual power continued to appear, and even the moisture in the air became much drier.
Xiao Xuan felt extremely speechless, for ordinary people, the rather difficult competition became boring, and he was thinking about how to refine the pill smoothly without being seen later.
So Xiao Xuan stood quietly in front of the stone platform, and did not immediately summon the flames for refining like other alchemists, but quietly held the jade slip, frowning slightly, giving people a look of careful study.
