Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 329 Basic competition, pure confrontation! (seeking a monthly ticket)
In the huge alchemy hall.

Two second-tier alchemists were concentrating on refining the colorful chrysanthemum pill.

One looked solemn, but not lacking in calmness.

One is concentrating, but from the trembling of his brows, one can see the tension in his heart.

The onlookers around were all "quiet" and did not dare to disturb them.

Said it was silent.

In fact, quite a few people are secretly communicating with each other through spiritual consciousness.

With the strength of Luo Chen's soul, even if he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, the conversations of some people in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment can still be heard clearly.

"Tsk tsk, I have been promoted to the task of guarding Yuan Zhaoguo for ten years. I didn't expect alchemy to fail at all!"

"It's not just that it didn't fall, you can see that he used it in Su Xin's hands, he was unhurried and skillful."

"Don't tell me, it's true. Let me deal with this Cliff Chrysanthemum, I'm afraid I can't do it to this level."

"On the other hand, Tao Yichen?"

"No, it's too crafty!"

"Scrupulously, for fear of ruining the medicinal materials, but missed the best time to fuse the medicinal power."

"From my point of view, Tao Yichen's alchemy has fallen a level compared to Yisheng's!"

"Here comes the important point, let's take a look at the handling of the five-color chrysanthemum!"

……

The alchemy competition is still going on intensely.

Luo Chen just looked at it for a while, then frowned inadvertently.

"This Tao Yichen is also worthy of being called a second-tier alchemist?"

He was amazed!
The level of the opponent is too low.

Could it be that the other party's level of alchemy has dropped significantly because of being too busy with mundane affairs?
But not right!

Back then, when Tao Yisheng discussed with him, he also spoke in a manner.

But in actual operation, it is full of mistakes and omissions.

It can be seen from this that Qingdan Valley seems to be very loose in the review of second-tier alchemists?

Looking at the other enthusiastic Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Luo Chen suddenly thought.

"Maybe it's not that they are too good, but that I am too strong?"

Yes!

In the eyes of the world.

Those alchemists who occasionally refine one or two Tier [-] pills can be called Tier [-] alchemists.

For example, Qing Yuanzi, relying on alchemy cultivation technique, took a shortcut to cultivate a third-level elixir by chance, and he also boasted that he was a third-level alchemist.

Compared with these so-called "second-tier alchemists".

Luo Chen's alchemy skills were hardened by the tens of thousands of alchemy.

Even if it's a Tier [-] pill!

He also refined it, at least two or three thousand!

Most of them are top-grade and top-grade pills that are the most difficult to refine.

In comparison, the rest of the people are naturally not worthy of being compared with him.

"Of course, there are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. For example, the two alchemists of the Tao family are not ranked high in the entire Qingdan Valley, and they didn't even get the title of imperial bestowed dao."

"It is conceivable that the seven sons of Qingdan must have real talents and real learning."

"I can't underestimate the heroes of the world!"

After sighing in his heart, he subconsciously shook his head.

Now he, "Ming Shen Po Sha" Dzogchen, can already do three things with one mind.

I had a lot of daydreams before.

But he always kept his attention on the two people in the room.

Therefore, the refining progress of Caiju Dan is quite detailed.

Tao Wan next to him saw this.

Curiously, he asked through sound transmission with his spiritual sense: "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"

Luo Chen said lightly: "It's about to fail."

"Who?"

"All failed!"

As soon as this remark came out, Tao Wan couldn't help showing suspicion.

She herself is not a brilliant alchemist.

However, he grew up in Dao Dao of Alchemy since he was a child, and he still has a bit of foresight in judging the refining of elixir.

"Tao Yichen may fail, but my little brother's every step is perfect, which is obviously a sign of success!"

Not just her.

The rest of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the arena, whoever has a bit of insight, have already discovered the huge gap between Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen in alchemy level.

Especially the patriarch Tao Daonan's side.

Many people are now showing a look of panic.

There are also sound transmissions, quietly gathering towards Tao Daonan.

But Tao Daonan, although his face was ugly, he still kept his composure and didn't say anything to disturb him.

Alchemy is still going on.

After a while.

A clear and audible explosion sounded from the copper tripod.

All gazes converged, and what they saw was Tao Yichen's extremely pale, bloodless face.

"I failed."

With a murmur, his body seemed to be trembling.

"Ugh……"

A sigh came from Tao Daonan's mouth.

He didn't blame the other party.

Originally, Tao Yichen was somewhat talented in alchemy. Not only did he pass the theoretical examination of Qingdan Valley, but he was also lucky enough to refine a second-level elixir.

But later he disliked the work of alchemy, it was too repetitive, too numb, and it delayed his practice, so he gave up and continued to improve.

Instead, he focused his energy on handling the Tao family's internal affairs.

If he had made up his mind back then and forced him to continue his studies in alchemy.

Where is today's embarrassment?
Shaking his head, his eyes fell on Tao Yisheng.

"Could it be that he can really succeed once?"

All eyes, including the failed Tao Yichen, were focused on Tao Yisheng.

If it was before, under the attention of everyone, he might panic.

Perhaps the movement of alchemy will be deformed.

But in the year of Luo Tianhui's alchemy hall, Qu Lingjun, Mi Li and others followed him from time to time during the ordinary alchemy.

He's used to being watched.

Even if he was refining a simple first-order elixir, he could still be distracted and give a few pointers.

At this moment, under the crowd watching.

He still took his time and maintained the final finishing work of Caiju Pill.

Seeing this, Tao Wan couldn't help feeling a little more relieved.

My frizzy younger brother seems to have grown a lot in the past ten years.

There is already a bit of the style of a general who collapsed in front of Mount Tai without changing his color, and elk thrived on the left without blinking his eyes!
"Should it succeed?"

She murmured in her heart.

……

Under the anticipation of everyone, Tao Yisheng played the last spiritual formula.

The ground fire fell back, and the copper tripod trembled slightly.

A scent of Dan, like a chrysanthemum or an orchid, blows towards the face.

"Success?"

"wrong!"

"There is a hint of burnt smell!"

"This is……"

Tao Yisheng, who was originally happy, changed his complexion visibly when he took out the three pills that were only blue and yellow in color.

Also at this time.

Tao Daonan's voice sounded at the right time.

"The color is blue-yellow, but less than three colors. This pill is not finished, and it is a waste pill!"

almost the same time.

With a swipe of Tao Wan, her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Chen.

The other party shrugged and spread his hands.

Expressed that although I guessed right, it had nothing to do with me.

Tao Wan nodded and looked away.

As the other party expected, it really failed.

However, failures are also divided into grades!
She looked at Tao Daonan burningly.

"Tao Yichen's alchemy collapsed halfway, and he didn't even complete the final step of alchemy."

"Although Yisheng also failed, he refined the two-color chrysanthemum pill, which shows that alchemy is far superior to him."

"The superior and inferior have been divided, the patriarch should have decided on the position of the Patriarch!"

Most people present.

Even many Foundation Establishment cultivators who stood on Tao Daonan's side nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, the level of alchemy between the two sides has been divided!

Then the position of the head of the family...

Unexpectedly!

"Hahaha!"

The old laughter resounded amidst everyone's astonishment.

Tao Daonan pointed to the discarded pill in Tao Yisheng's hand and said, "A person who travels a hundred miles is only half ninety! How is it different from just starting before reaching the finish line?"

"That's not what I said." Tao Wan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Tao Daonan shook his head, "Then what should I say? You take these three waste pills and Yichen's pile of shapeless waste and sell them to others. Could it be that because you are closer to success, you can sell more spirits?" stone?"

"No, it's also worthless!"

"Useless pill, it is a scrap pill!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

But at the same time astonished, I felt that there was nothing wrong.

Because of your high alchemy skills, others will not buy you a useless pill with hard-earned spirit stones.

Therefore, according to the results, both Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen failed.

How can there be a difference between superior and inferior!
There are many people who agree with this concept.

Among them, Luo Chen was even included.

He had failed countless times in refining chalcedony pills, and the accumulated chalcedony waste beads alone amounted to tens of thousands.

But no one spends a lot of money to buy those defective products.

On the stage, Tao Yisheng also turned pale.

He couldn't accept this result, and neither could Tao Wan.

"In my opinion!"

Tao Daonan's words continued.

"Yisheng is still too young after all. The position of head of the family has to be given to the experienced, mature and prudent Yichen."

Tao Yichen is his own grandson!

Letting him be the head of the family is no different from Tao Daonan running the family himself.

Tao Wan sneered, glanced at Tao Yisheng, and said slowly: "Since you say that you are not successful, it is a failure. Why don't you continue to refine alchemy, and there will always be a result today."

"I don't think it's necessary!" Tao Daonan frowned.

"No, it's necessary!" Tao Wan looked around at the crowd and said calmly, "Could it be that you want to hear from the outside that I, the Patriarch of the Tao family, was selected from two losers?"

Picked out of two losers?

Isn't that still a loser!

Under Tao Wan's intense gaze, everyone couldn't refute for a while.

In other words, Tao Wan's Foundation Establishment True Cultivator didn't want to refute.

They all spoke out in unison, supporting the continuation of the alchemy competition.

Even Tao Daonan couldn't come up with any reason to object.

A patriarch is not the same as a patriarch.

The latter is responsible for matters such as sacrifices, blood inheritance, and etiquette, and is often held by the elders with high prestige in the family.

But the former is responsible for many internal and external matters, large and small.

What you want is youth and promise, and what you want is strength.

It represents the face of a family!

It is even said that outsiders, when they see you, they will know that behind you is a big family of prosperity and decline!
This kind of identity cannot tolerate the taint of "loser" from the beginning.

Seeing that everyone has no objection.

Tao Wan suddenly turned her head, "Have enough rest!"

"Continue alchemy!"

"If you can't refine the Chrysanthemum Pill, you are not allowed to stop."

"Whoever refines it will be the new head of my Xiaonanshan Tao family!"

No second words.

Tao Yisheng naturally commanded the pharmacists to help him prepare new raw materials, let the pyrotechnic workers clear the ground fire passage, and let the Qing Danshi clean the copper tripod that was dirty because of alchemy before.

He looked proficient, as if he had experienced this situation many times.

This was all a year ago, he was sent to Luo Tianhui by Luo Chen to work as a coolie.

On the other side, Tao Yichen managed to pull himself together and continued to do similar work as before.

Soon.

The ground fire reignites!

Alchemy is back!

Until this time, the atmosphere that had become tense due to some tit-for-tat confrontation before gradually eased down.

Tao Wan was unnoticed, secretly glanced at Luo Chen several times.

In my heart, I was quite emotional.

Today's dispute over the head of the family came to her after she saw Tao Yisheng's recent transformation and learned that his alchemy skills had greatly improved.

But among them.

But it also contained another idea of ​​hers.

That is to simply test what Luo Chen can do!

As for Luo Chen's alchemy attainments, she only listened to her younger brother bragging about it, and Tantai Yan praised him a few times.

Although later, after collecting the other party's information, I learned that Luo Chen still had the name of Dan Chenzi.

But in my heart, I still have some doubts.

It is extremely difficult for him to compete for the position of the Dao species.

Never fall in the second round!
If Luo Chen's name doesn't live up to his name, she doesn't mind changing his team and replacing him with a second-tier alchemist who is weaker than Huang Hezi.

only.

In this internal alchemy competition of the Tao family, Luo Chen has already shown his eyesight comparable to that of an alchemy master!

Under the circumstances that everyone thought Tao Yisheng would succeed.

But he told the future that the other party would fail in advance!
"Even my eyesight, which came from the Dao sect of alchemy and has been instilled in us since childhood, can't judge."

"He said it."

"Under the excellent eyesight, it is an extremely confident alchemy attainment!"

"In this way, regardless of whether Yisheng succeeds or not, my goal has been achieved!"

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

The expression on the woman's face also became more calm.

This scene fell into Tao Daonan's eyes, making him feel irritable unconsciously.

"If this continues, Yi Chen will lose sooner or later!"

……

The Tao family's internal alchemy competition is still going on.

After the first failure, the second failure came quickly.

After a brief rest, under Tao Wan's insistence, continue.

one day!
two days!

Even in the middle, they were given enough time to rest, but for these pampered family monks.

Such a long period of alchemy still made them uncomfortable.

Like that Tao Yichen, seeing another failure, his eyes were dull, and he looked desperate.

Only Tao Yisheng, even though his face was pale because of wasting spiritual energy and excessive use of spiritual consciousness.

But in the eyes, it is piercing, brighter and brighter.

Tao Wan, who had been paying attention to the progress, suddenly moved her ears.

She subconsciously looked at Luo Chen.

Seeing the other party, he nodded slightly to her imperceptibly.

In an instant, her eyes lit up.

This time, if nothing unexpected happens, Tao Yisheng will succeed!
It seemed that Tao Daonan could no longer bear it because of successive failures and the atmosphere of constant stalemate.

Such a stalemate is clearly a challenge to his authority.

"enough!"

"There is no need to continue this farce!"

Tao Wan looked at him coldly, "The outcome is not decided, why can't we continue? Besides, a farce? Does the patriarch think my Tao family's selection of the patriarch is a farce?"

Tao Daonan's face was gloomy, "Tao Wan, you don't have to provoke me with your words. Aren't you doing this just to gather the power of the family and compete for the position of the Taoist?"

"So what!"

Tao Wan frowned, and did her part.

Tao Daonan's expression froze.

He didn't expect that the other party would admit it so openly.

For a while, he really didn't know how to deal with the other party.

Suddenly!

He turned his gaze to Tao Yisheng who was making alchemy.

"I am the patriarch, and I have the right to appoint the patriarch. This farce should end!"

As he spoke, a wave of majestic aura burst out instantly.

at the same time.

Tao Wan's body also erupted with a burst of powerful aura fluctuations.

The two collided with each other in an instant, and they couldn't stand a stalemate for a while!
This is the purest competition of foundations, without any means of combat, or the subtlety of spells.

The comparison is whoever has a higher realm, who has more pure and powerful spiritual power.

After about three breaths.

boom!
Tao Daonan's face turned pale, he had a beard on his face, and the Taoist robe on his body seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and all of them were thrown back.

Tao Wan took a step forward, and a powerful and confident momentum burst out.

"you're old!"

"It's time to abdicate for Xian!"

"Under your leadership, the Tao family is bound to fall!"

"Now, the Tao family should be led by my siblings to the top!"

Every word, like five lightning strikes, constantly bombarded the old man's mind.

boom!
Tao Daonan's aura fluctuated and collapsed immediately, unable to resist.

He himself took a few steps back in embarrassment.

almost the same time.

A refreshing fragrance of chrysanthemum diffused from the alchemy hall.

Under Tao Yichen's despairing eyes, Tao Yisheng jumped up and made a move towards the copper cauldron.

Three pills fell into his hands.

Blue, yellow and white, the three colors add radiance to each other, listed in the second-tier low-grade!
"Sister, I'm done! I'm finally done! Hahaha..."

Holding the three pills, Tao Yisheng's pale face was full of excitement.

Tao Wan subconsciously glanced at Luo Chen who retreated behind everyone, and then said loudly:

"Congratulations!"

"Everyone, hurry up and meet the head of the Tao family!"

The Foundation Establishment True Cultivator of her lineage immediately shouted "I have met the Patriarch"!
But the rest of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators looked at each other in blank dismay.

But after Tao Wan glanced over with her sharp eyes, she still managed to utter that sentence with great reluctance.

"I have seen the master!"

Tao Wan showed a bright smile, and now she looked at Tao Daonan again.

"Patriarch, my Tao family has a new head, is it necessary to hold a family meeting to announce this!"

Tao Daonan had a disheveled beard and a gloomy face.

He glanced at the siblings bitterly.

"It will be held tomorrow!"

After speaking, he walked away.

He lost the battle for the head of the family.

Not only losing to Tao Yisheng, but also losing to the mighty Tao Wan.

He never imagined that Tao Wan would be so powerful now, even if he confronted him head-on, she would not lose the wind at all, and even overwhelm him.

In full view.

Everyone knows that Tao Daonan was completely defeated.

Since then, there has been no prestige.

Out of the alchemy room.

The glare of the sun hit his face, and he subconsciously went into a trance.

After opening his eyes, Tao Daonan was a little dazed.

"Am I really getting old?"
