Those who eat qi, live long life

Chapter 70
Ding Niu was not surprised when he learned that he was invited to participate in the Danjia competition.

He is now slightly famous in the alchemy circle of Xieyue Mountain, but he is still unknown when he runs outside.

Backed by Xieyue Mountain, the Minshan faction was polite to him, but as soon as he got started, they gave him "precious materials" such as Xueshan boy to make alchemy.

Right now the Minshan faction happens to have a Danjia competition, and it is normal practice to invite him to participate in the water test.

This is good news, which shows that the people of the Minshan faction are tempted, but it depends on Ding Niu's ability first,

Ding Niu provoked this matter, and he has no reason to back down.

Since he is determined to be the venerable of the same sect, he is of the same family as Ned, and he is the leader of the outside world, nothing more than that.

Ding Niu readily accepted the invitation.

Zhou Zi was watching him happy, but he hesitated to speak.

Ding Niu asked, "Brother Zhou seems to have something to say?"

Zhou Zizheng said bluntly: "Brother Ding, I don't know how well you have attained in alchemy. I am very happy to see that you are full of confidence. I hope that you will win the armor and your wish will come true. If you won the first prize, we Minshan disciples will be suppressed by you alone, and if we look bad on the outside, we will feel uncomfortable in our hearts... Do you think I hope you win or you lose?"

"Haha, if you lose, just keep trying."

Zhou Zizheng smiled, seeing his confident expression, and asked: "Did you say this to yourself, or to our Minshan School disciples?"

"Brother Zhou, don't blame me for being too frank. Of course, I didn't keep these words for myself. Otherwise, I knew I would lose. How could I participate in this kind of competition and lose face?"

"...Brother Ding is really confident." Zhou Zizheng laughed: "However, you underestimate our disciples of the Minshan School. If Brother Ding loses face, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Let's see." Ding Niu was full of confidence. If Xieyue Mountain was a group company, the Minshan School was at most a small workshop. In terms of scale and talent pool, they were not of the same order.

On the alchemy path, he and Yang Zhenzi and other elite disciples of the alchemy path are called brothers and brothers, and he has no shortage of knowledge. He has also emerged now under the circumstances of Niu Leiyan Qi and Huang Liangtu, but his deepest reliance is the vision of modern people , The scientific way of looking at things has a very different perspective and knowledge from people in this world.

In the Xieyue Mountain where there are many talents, Dingniu can stand out, which proves that he is not bad, and it makes no sense to go to Minshan to show his cowardice.

Besides, today he has already watched the disciples of the Minshan sect practice alchemy. Although he only watched it briefly, he also gained a lot of understanding in his heart, knowing himself and the enemy.

Zhou Zi was cupping his hands, so he said goodbye and left.

Huang Qi pretended to be a lady in front of outsiders, but he had no scruples in front of Ding Niu, and asked quickly from the side:
"Niu Zhenzi, how sure are you?"

In front of her, Ding Niu didn't act like he was determined to win, and said: "The chance of winning the armor is about [-] to [-]."

"But it's not low."

"Really?" Ding Niu was disappointed: "As long as the judgment is fair, the chances will be higher."

"...Are you saying they will do bad things? That's too hateful!"

"Home field advantage, it should be." Ding Niu said: "The fierce dragon crossing the river depends on whether the local snake agrees. If people from other mountains come to our Chilong Peak for a public alchemy competition, it will be related to the face of the teacher, and it will also be related to everyone. The reward of a millennium snow lotus pill, do you think our senior uncles and senior brothers in Chilong Peak can not fight against the enemy?"

"..."

"Okay, I won't sleep tonight, make more preparations, go and rest."

Huang Qi hesitated for a moment, then said timidly, "How about I come to accompany you?"

"The battle is ahead, don't fool me with your beauty." Ding Niu waved his hand and said, "Go and rest yourself, come and cheer for me tomorrow morning."

Huang Qi was already used to hearing his gossip, but at this moment he was so pleased, he still gave him a blank look, "What nonsense...then see you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Ding Niu meditated all night and entered Huangliangtu to study.

Lao Niu Taoism.

Gu Tianyue took care of the place in an orderly manner, and when he saw him coming, she came to pester him like a good wife and wanted to marry him, but Ding Niu immediately gave him a lesson.

Ding Niu scolded him harshly, but he was content with it, resigned himself to it, his eyes were lowered, and his eyes were blurred. Ding Niu saw it. , my heart trembled.

Really, what kind of fever is this!
Ding Niu sent her away, concentrated on looking up the information of Huangliangtu, simulated and considered several plans for future needs, so as not to be in a hurry and lose the temperament of a master when it comes to the end.

I didn't mention it all night, and in the early morning of the second day, Ding Niu returned to his body and woke up.

Huang Qi also came to her, and the two found a place to practice, practice diligently, and never forget it every day.

After training, eat and eat pills, do some self-cultivation, and then go to the area where the Minshan faction arranged the snow lotus meeting this time.

Not to mention lively, Minshan School is a small sect, this generation of disciples is only a few hundred or so, unlike Xieyue Peak, where thousands of people participate in any small gathering at any peak.

The alchemy competition will be held first, and the participating disciples will refine alchemy together, saving time and not delaying too much, while the martial arts competition is the highlight, after all, the common sense of Qi practitioners is that cultivation is the first.

When Ding Niu came, the participating disciples of the Minshan School were almost in place, setting up their own alchemy furnaces in their respective positions.

Most of the alchemy furnaces on the field are standard, which are quite different from the standard alchemy furnaces of Xieyue Mountain. It is no wonder, after all, the alchemy of the Minshan School is suitable for the method of washing with water, so their alchemy furnaces are as big as drums. Like the style of the oblique moon mountain, it is upright.

But there are exceptions, one of them has a pill furnace, which is similar to a gourd, with a double-layer belly, which is very different and very conspicuous.

Judging from his position, he is not too far from the viewing platform, so he will not be disturbed too much, and he will be watched on the stage, which can be said to occupy a golden position.

Ding Niu noticed him yesterday. This person's alchemy furnace was not ordinary at first glance, but the audience commented that this person was a promising alchemy genius of the Minshan School, with profound attainments, and he was regarded as the first alchemist of this time. The first seed of the competition.

Ding Niu and Huang Qi's costumes are different, but equally attractive.

Under the guidance, Ding Niu also entered the competition venue. He was assigned a position very close to the viewing platform, and could clearly hear the discussions above.

Seeing him enter the arena, the disciples of the Minshan sect who were watching on the viewing platform buzzed. Many disciples didn't know the inside story, and they were puzzled:

"Why did the people from Xieyue Mountain also go up?"

"He wants to compete with our Minshan school?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Zizheng was also on the viewing platform at this time, and some disciples around him knew that he was friends with Niu Zhenzi, an inner disciple of Xieyue Mountain, so they also asked:
"Senior Brother Zhou, why does this Niu Zhenzi also participate in our competition?"

"Heh, the oblique moon mountain is so powerful, the disciples are naturally proud, maybe it's because of the itch for skills, so let's give some pointers on the alchemy of our Minshan sect!"

"...that's not a good thing to say!"

"What qualifications does he have to participate? It can be seen that he is arrogant!"

"Slanting Moon Mountain, heh!"

"What are you afraid of! Even if it's a competition, our senior brother Wang Qingjun is a genius in alchemy, so we may not lose!"

"It's not sure, we're sure to win. In our Minshan faction, the disciples of Xieyue Mountain have to be honest!"

There are many strange voices around.

Inviting Ding Niu to participate in the alchemy competition of the Snow Lotus Club is in the name of a competition of alchemy.

Ding Niu's sudden airborne naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other participating disciples of the Minshan School, because they had already participated in the competition for a day, and they were finally promoted.

As soon as this guy came, he participated in the finals the next day, looking down on who would come!

At the same time, he is a person from outside the mountain. Although it is said to be a competition, it is still a competition in essence. This is a natural hostility. Not only the contestants participating in the competition, but also the other disciples of the Minshan School are also united in their hearts. Let the Minshan faction be compared.

The disciples who couldn't play cheered up.The disciples of the Minshan sect who came on stage held their breath inwardly.

Zhou Zi was smiling wryly in his heart, Ding Niu's move, it's not good to win, and it's even more embarrassing to lose.

It's inconvenient to say more about his position, but he still tried his best to explain it:
"Senior brother Ding restored an ancient alchemy formula in just a few days on Xieyue Mountain, and refined a very rare heretic golden stone pill. He was the first one among the disciples of Xieyue Mountain to successfully refine it. The standard is very high, it was Master Xuelian who invited him to compete, and also asked us disciples of the Minshan School to learn alchemy to take the opportunity to verify some experience."

"..."

After Zhou Zizheng went back last night, he had already inquired about Ding Niu's attainments in alchemy, and learned of this news. Although the news was a bit vague and may not be very true, it was enough for reference.

Xieyueshan alchemy masters are like a cloud, and the one who can restore the ancient alchemy formula first shows his skill.

The word "first" seems to have a great magical power.

Hearing what he said, the other Minshan sect disciples nodded in understanding:

"So that's how it is! After all, Xieyue Mountain has a profound foundation, and senior brother Niu Zhenzi can get the first place, which shows his accomplishments."

"No wonder you have such confidence."

"But our Minshan faction can't lose!"

"That's the truth."

Since it is not a cat or a dog, it will make everyone feel better, but it is naturally impossible to ask them to admit defeat.

What about the alchemy genius of Xieyue Mountain?No comparison, who knows who is higher and who is lower!

The disciples who were preparing for the competition in the arena heard that Ding Niu had such a resume, and they even cheered up, wanting to use all their skills to compete.

The elders of the Minshan sect who presided over the competition were also secretly happy to see the disciples' enthusiasm.

But some people are not happy.

The party who knew the inside story, Liu Feng's lineage, was trying their best to fight for the right to use the Snow Mountain Boy. Originally, under the banner of Snowman Pill, there was a lot of hope, but this disciple of Xieyue Mountain made a horizontal move, causing things to happen more. How can they be happy about the unexpected changes and uncertainties?
Although Elder Liu Feng had a lot of confidence in his beloved disciple Wang Qingjun, once he was under the brand of Xieyue Mountain, his heart would keep beating.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Xieyue Mountain is not a name for nothing, and a disciple who can obtain the title of alchemy genius in Xieyue Mountain is worthy of attention and is a strong opponent.

However, they also need this Xueshan boy very much, and it is absolutely impossible to give it up!

At this time, Ding Niu also took out his own alchemy stove, which was the exquisite alchemy stove with three legs, four inches and eight doors.

A pill furnace with such a shape is rare in the eyes of everyone, and the disciples of the Minshan School have never seen it before, so they immediately started discussing it.

Liu Feng has seen a lot, and he can tell at a glance that this is not the standard alchemy furnace of Xieyue Mountain.

The oddly shaped alchemy furnace most likely has other uses and special effects, just like the gourd-shaped alchemy furnace in the hands of his disciple Wang Qingjun, which has other uses compared to ordinary alchemy furnaces.

When Liu Feng saw him take out the "Qimen Pill Stove", he became a little more worried. At this moment, he couldn't hesitate anymore, so he immediately sent a voice transmission to the elder who presided over the competition.

The presiding elder nodded his head after hearing this, trying to gain some advantages for the disciples of the sect, not to be robbed of the limelight by the disciples from the outer mountain, it was reasonable.

After a while, I sent out the topic.

The topic is very simple:
Use a hundred-year-old snow lotus to make snow lotus pills.

The judging criteria are also commonplace:

Dan color, size, pill effect, pill production time, how many pills are made...

The questions are quite satisfactory, and the judging criteria are well-founded, relatively objective, and there is no problem just by looking at the questions.

However, anyone who knows the game knows that this is the home field advantage.

The Minshan school is good at washing with water. It is excellent at removing the rutabagas and preserving the quintessence. What they refine is natural pills. The so-called high-end ingredients only need simple cooking.

Especially for Caozhidan, the most important thing is the original medicinal properties of the material, no need for further processing, it is just a good medicine.

This is different from fire method alchemy, fire method alchemy will change the properties of the medicine to a certain extent, or become better, or worse, it is possible.

It mainly depends on what kind of pill is made.

The snow lotus pills are refined by washing with water, and the Minshan school has been tempered and refined, and the medicinal effect is very good.

Because snow lotus is a medicinal material that can be eaten raw, it means that the ingredients are pure and there is no need to change it. If it is refined by fire, it will only increase the risk.

Just asking a question puts Ding Niu in an unfavorable situation.
