Chapter 42 Advancement
In Lingxu Peak, besides the alchemy platform's formation, there is a large hall.

There were more than a dozen figures standing in the hall, most of them were second-rank alchemists, and the two leaders had three alchemy lines on their chests, which meant third-rank alchemists, at least at the golden alchemy stage.

The first-rank alchemist is a natural barrier, the higher the level, the harder it is to advance. Even in Kunlun, which is famous for its alchemy, there are only more than thirty third-rank alchemists in the entire sect, and each of them has an extremely high status in the sect.

A second-rank alchemist flipped through the list of disciples participating in the competition, and said: "This competition must be very exciting. I haven't seen many names on it in the competition for a long time..."

Another person beside him said: "In the past, many people were busy making alchemy to earn spirit coins in exchange for Tongmai Pills to break through the realm, but now low-level disciples can only buy three Tongmai Pills a month, and they should all be rushing for the top ten rewards here."

The second-rank alchemist said with a smile: "In this way, Dabi will be more interesting."

He glanced at a name, looked at it suspiciously again, shook his head and said, "Li Yu, as a second-level Qi Refining..., what kind of pills can be refined on the second level of Qi Refining, hehe, these days, no one knows I can participate in the alchemy contest..."

While everyone was discussing and joking, deacon disciples would come in from outside from time to time to report the situation outside.

A young disciple hurried over and said, "Junior Sister Zheng has already turned on the furnace. She only used one material to refine two super-grade pills and eight super-grade pills."

When everyone heard this, they were all amazed.

As second-grade alchemists, they have no problem refining low-level pills. They can make ten super-grade pills casually. Cultivation, refinement of top-quality pills, her future achievements will definitely be higher than them.

Someone who knew the inside story said: "As expected of being the direct disciple of Master Danyangzi, two top-quality pills in one furnace is not her limit. I heard that she has produced up to five top-quality pills in one furnace..."

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I've been refining pills for 200 years, and I haven't produced five top-quality pills in one furnace..."

"This time, the leader of Wuliang Martial Nephew's Grand Competition will not be robbed again, right? He has been robbed four times already, and it will be too miserable to be robbed again this time..."

As time went by, disciples came to report one after another.

"Senior brother Zhao Wuliang, with one material, he refined three super-grade pills and seven super-grade pills."

"Senior brother He Jin, one material, eight super grades, and two top grades."

"Senior Brother Liu Ren, one material, six super grades, four top grades..."

……

On the alchemy platform.

It has been two quarters of an hour since the start of the first round of the competition. A quarter of an hour ago, the girl next to Li Yu successfully produced the pill. Until now, he calmly withdrew his mana, closed the flame, and opened the pill furnace .

Zhou Zixuan, who had been tense all the time, didn't even dare to look at the alchemy furnace, and asked Li Yu impatiently, "How is it?"

Li Yu glanced at the alchemy furnace and said with a smile, "Five super grades, five top grades."

Zhou Zixuan didn't have any special idea about the grade of the pill, so she asked, "Can I advance?"

Before Li Yu could answer, the girl at the stone platform next to her said, "One piece of material, half of the super-grade rate, half of the top-grade rate, of course you can advance, and the ranking should be at least the top twenty."

Zhou Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.

When Li Yu was refining alchemy just now, he was also paying attention to the situation around him.

For most people, it would be considered good if they could produce a super product in one furnace, but he also controlled it a little, trying not to make himself too conspicuous in the first round.

The girl glanced at Li Yu and asked, "What's your name, and which uncle's disciple are you? I've never heard of you before."

The young man beside him has successfully attracted her attention. He is so young and has such a high alchemy rate. Among the disciples of the sect, he should not be an unknown person.

Li Yu said: "My name is Li Yu, I don't have a master."

The girl seemed to have remembered something, and blurted out: "Li Yu, the king of soft rice?"

The first communication between Li Yu and this gifted girl ended here.

He reached out to recruit the deacon disciple, took away the elixir he made, recorded his results, and then chatted with Zhou Zixuan.

The three rounds of the big competition are carried out consecutively. If you finish the exercise earlier, you can rest earlier and save more energy for the next round.

While chatting with Zhou Zixuan, Li Yu learned that she had broken through the second acupuncture point of the Mu Lingmai.

This is a very gratifying thing. After all, she has been busy for a long time after entering the sect and has no extra time to practice. Being able to open the second acupoint by herself in such a short period of time shows her talent Not bad, similar to Li Yu, even if he didn't enter Kunlun last time, he would definitely be selected in two years.

Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan were chatting and laughing, but the girl who was watching was surprised.

Didn't it mean that Li Yu was Senior Sister Jiang's childhood sweetheart? Why was she not clear with another beautiful senior sister...

But soon she figured it out, who is Senior Sister Jiang, how can he be worthy of being an ordinary disciple, she might as well change the target, lest the bamboo basket fetch water in the end in vain.

With the beauty by your side, time always flies by.

Unknowingly, the bell for the end of the first round of competition has already sounded.

At this time, those who have not finished refining the elixirs naturally have no possibility of promotion. In fact, anyone who successfully refines the elixir in the second half an hour will also be eliminated. green leaves.

Of course, Li Yu was promoted without any surprise.

The selection of the alchemy competition is very simple, even the judges are not needed, the super-grade elixir is the super-grade elixir, the best elixir is the best elixir, the pill pattern cannot be faked, and the possibility of cheating and black-box operation is fundamentally eliminated .

Among the 100 people who advanced to the second round, he ranked No.12.

Elder Han is right, the Kunlun disciple Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the girl next to Li Yu who made the best elixir, only ranked second. No.1 in the first round, a furnace of elixir, successfully refined Three top grade pills.

That's right, it's already [-]% of his level.

In the second round of competition, out of 100 Alchemy apprentices, only 90.00 remained. This round still had a [-]% elimination rate, and in the end only ten remained, entering the final round.

This round is more difficult than the first round.

In the first round, each person still has three medicines, but in this round there are only two medicines, and the time is reduced to half an hour. The number and quality of the medicines are ranked, and the winners enter the top ten of this competition. .

Most of the stone platforms in the square have been removed, leaving only a hundred.

The distance between the two alchemists is also much wider than before, and it is unlikely that there will be mutual influence.

As the bell rang, the second round of competition officially began.

This round of refining was the detoxification pill. Zhou Zixuan prepared the pill for him right away, but Li Yu didn't start directly. Half an hour was enough for him.

He leaned on the stone platform, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

There are also many alchemists who, like Li Yu, did not start immediately, but first used the Huiqi Pill to recover their mana and adjust their state to the peak.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yu opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and looked towards the void ahead.

At some point, a huge water curtain appeared there. At this moment, there was a wave of fluctuation on the water curtain, showing a line of words.

"Zhao Wuliang, the second highest grade elixir, the eighth super grade elixir, and 42 pill lines."

This line of words just appeared on the water curtain, and then a second line of words was displayed.

"Zheng Keqi, the second highest-grade pill, the eighth super-grade pill, and 42 pill patterns."

Only a quarter of an hour had passed since the start of the second round, and two people had successfully refined the elixir, and the quality of the elixir was frighteningly high. The alchemists who hadn't started couldn't sit still, and took action one after another.

Li Yu also poured the elixir into the furnace cavity and started alchemy.

Inside the formation, the alchemists were engrossed and silent, but outside the formation, it was already extremely noisy.

"Senior Brother Zhao is amazing, the leader of this competition is none other than him!"

"Fart, I support Junior Sister Zheng, Junior Sister Zheng must win!"

"Senior brother Zhao has been ranked second in the competition for four consecutive years. Junior sister Zheng is still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let him complete this time..."

"No matter who wins, they are the two with the best alchemy talents among the young disciples of this generation. Their future achievements will be at least third-rank alchemists. Whether they can go further depends on luck..."

……

No matter how noisy the outside is, the alchemists inside cannot hear any sound if there is a formation blocking it.

Those who can enter the second round of the competition are all the best among alchemy apprentices. The quality of the baked elixir far exceeds the average level of the first round of contestants. Among them, the confident ones only use one part of the ingredients, and it is over. For alchemy, those who strive for excellence choose to refine two furnaces, and choose the best quality among them.

With the passage of time, the names on the water curtain are constantly being updated.

"Deng Qingsong, the eighth super-grade elixir, the second top-grade elixir, and the 38th pill pattern."

"He Jin, six super-grade pills, four top-grade pills, and thirty-six pill patterns."

"Liu Ren, five super-grade pills, five top-grade pills, and 35 pill patterns."

……

The names on the water curtain are roughly divided into three grades. Zhao Wuliang and Zheng Keqi, who refined the top-grade pills, belong to Yiqi Juechen. It's a shame that it firmly occupies the top five positions.

Most of the following disciples released high-grade pills, and occasionally super-grade pills appeared.

As more and more people finished refining, the ranking of the giant water curtain also tended to stabilize, and the top ten position had not been moved for a long time.

Gao Tian looked at his top-ranked names on the water curtain, and heaved a long sigh of relief. He performed supernormally this time, and produced three super-grade pills in two furnaces, which happened to be ranked tenth. As an alchemist, no one can surpass him, and he will be in the top ten of this alchemy competition.

Although it is impossible for him to get too high a ranking, it is still a rare honor.

Finding that an alchemist not far from him hadn't finished yet, Gao Tian rolled his eyes, covered his mouth, and started coughing loudly.

His own grades cannot be changed, but he can still influence others.

However, as soon as he coughed, a beautiful woman with an excellent figure walked over, gave him a fierce look, and said in a low voice: "What are you coughing, coughing out coughing..."

This woman was so fierce that Gao Tian was so startled that he almost didn't come back up in one breath.

But at this time, the alchemist had already received the flame.

Regardless of the woman's fierce eyes, Gao Tian walked quickly to the alchemist's side, and looked into the alchemy furnace with his head.

Five super grades, five top grades...

Finished!

Gao Tian's face was gloomy, and he had already seen that the top ten of Dabi were moving away from him.
