I am reborn as a casual cultivator

Chapter 16 The Elixir Competition
"With Wanbao Pavilion's position, why should we get involved in this kind of thing?" Shang Chu didn't understand at first. As a businessman in Wanbao Pavilion, he could only provide necessary materials, but in the end, he was searching for talents everywhere to participate in the competition. Not logical.

"The City Lord's Mansion promised that as long as we win the competition, Wanbao Pavilion will also get two places."

At the beginning of Shang Dynasty: "..."

Good guy, it turns out this is used to tempt people.

"How many places were there originally in this city?"

"50 people."

Shang Shi nodded.

These 50 people sound okay.

"Both nearby cities are in triple digits."

Shang Chu suddenly didn't want to talk.

This gap is still quite large.

"The City Lord's Mansion only gave this benefit?" Shang Chu didn't believe it.

Wanbao Pavilion is so dedicated, the city lord's palace must have given other benefits, otherwise it would be enough to just arrange one or two.

"There are indeed others."

At the beginning of Shang Dynasty, I didn't wait for the following. I thought it couldn't be said, so I didn't ask any more questions.

"Shopkeeper, how long is it until the competition?"

"There are still three days." The shopkeeper added: "Fellow Taoist will stay in Wanbao Pavilion for these three days, just in case."

"That's annoying."

Behind the Wanbao Pavilion shop is a small courtyard, which is not big, just as soon as you enter the courtyard, the cobblestone pavement has a huge heather tree in the middle, and there are stone tables and benches under the tree for people to take a rest.

Apart from the main hall, there are four wing rooms on the left and right, and the interior of the wing rooms is spacious and bright, not at all like a guest bedroom.

Shang Chushi's residence was personally arranged by the shopkeeper. The clerks in the store also knew that Shang Chushi was going to represent Wanbao Pavilion in the competition and respected her very much.

"The game is coming soon, take a good rest and recharge your batteries."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will do my best in this competition."

The shopkeeper was very happy when he said this at the beginning of Shang Dynasty.

There is a much bigger gap between catching ducks on the shelves and voluntary, and the former is not uncommon.

In the early days of Shang Dynasty, she practiced in the house for three days. When someone knocked on the door, she came out of the house.

The venue of the competition is the City Lord's Mansion, and a high platform is set up in the open space in front of the City Lord's Mansion for the convenience of others to watch.

When Shang Chu passed by, monks on three sides of the high platform had already gathered to watch the fun.

When the time came, several city lords announced that the alchemy competition had officially begun.

He took the stage at the beginning of Shang Dynasty.

At this time, besides her, there were 80 to [-] people on the stage, and they were all contestants.

"The quality of the elixir determines the outcome, the time limit is half an hour, the first round, bigu elixir!"

Bigu Pill is a first-level elixir, mostly suitable for Qi training period.

In the early days of Shang Dynasty, after taking the spiritual plant, he took out the alchemy furnace and began to refine the elixir in front of everyone.

The surface of the alchemy furnace was as red as blood, and the fireworks inside the furnace were in high display. The handprints were changing all the time in the early days of Shang Dynasty. It didn't take long for the spiritual plant to turn into concoction, which is now taking shape.

After another two quarters of an hour, the elixir was formed and the furnace was opened at the beginning of Shang Dynasty.

"The time is up! Stop, everyone!"

Once the time is up, those that have not yet been completed will be automatically eliminated.

There is no step down from the high platform, so it can be seen that everything is completed.

The elixir was taken out of the elixir furnace, and in an instant, the fragrance of the medicine overflowed.

When Shang Chu took a look at his results, there were twelve in total, all of which were of top quality.

At the beginning of Shang Dynasty, he breathed a sigh of relief. His grades were still passable and he did not humiliate himself.

The referee walked around the court and announced everyone's results and whether they would advance to the second round.

"Wanbao Pavilion, Qu Shangyu, enter the second round!"

Those who have not yet entered the second round have all stepped down. "The second round, time limit is half an hour, Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Shang Chu frowned, thinking that the City Lord's Mansion was really... It wasn't that she couldn't refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but it just took a little longer.

Now we can only do our best and obey fate.

After collecting the necessary spiritual plants, Shang Chu quickly started refining them.

She is fast and others are not slow either.

Those monks who came to watch all moved small benches to sit under the stage to watch, gnawed with spiritual fruit from time to time, and told the surrounding friends that the man was skillful.

In the early days of Shang Dynasty, his appearance was outstanding, so he was naturally the center of the topic. Especially when the elixirs refined in the first round were all top-grade, they attracted a lot of attention.

The most popular among them is Huahua Taisui.

"It's just that you have refined a first-level elixir. What's there to compliment you on?"

As soon as Huahua Taisui opened his mouth, the surrounding monks looked disgusted.

Among them, the one with a bad temper even looked down upon him.

"My fellow Taoist is in the foundation-building stage, and you, a little monk in the qi-training stage, dare to talk nonsense to her, you are so shameless."

"That is, everyone can represent Wanbao Pavilion in the competition, and they are all of top quality. I don't know how much better than some trash who only knows how to bully others."

The person who said this was hidden in the crowd, even if that Huahua Taisui was half-dead from anger, it would be fine.

"Who! Stand up for me!" Huahua Taisui, who had always been pampered and lawless, could not bear such words, so he immediately slapped his thigh and asked him to stand up.

"Tsk." The other party is not afraid of death by taking advantage of the crowd. After all, the law does not punish the crowd, and he, a playboy, does not dare to break up with all the monks.

"I will come out when you ask me to. I really think I am the proud man of heaven."

Huahua Taisui was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened. Apart from the female cultivator who had just humiliated him like this, this was the second person!
Really...

If it wasn't for his humble cultivation, he would definitely kill everyone to get rid of his hatred!
Shang Chu turned a deaf ear to what was going on in the audience. Even if she heard it, she had nothing to say to that Huahua Taisui.

Talking to a person who has a bad mouth is of no use, just give him a beating.

Shang Chushi was concentrating on refining the elixir, and when the referee shouted that time was up, Shang Chushi also finished it.

There are ten pills in total, six in the top grade, and four in the middle grade.

Grades are okay.

Getting to the third round is not a problem.

When Huahua Taisui heard that Shang Chu had entered the third round, her expression turned ugly.

"Did you see that my talent in alchemy is pretty good, but it's much better than some people who only know how to misbehave and tease women from good families."

"That bitch, please stand up for me!" Huahua Taisui was so angry that he stood up and shouted: "If you have the ability, stand up and put a target in your back. How can you be a hero?"

"The dandy has the nerve to speak. Let's see if his face is embarrassing enough."

After hearing this, Huahua Taisui subconsciously looked at her own father's face.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but my heart skips a beat when I look at it.

His father's face was extremely ugly, as gloomy as if he was dripping water.

"father……"

"Shut up." His father didn't want to talk to this bad son. It was so embarrassing!

"When you go back, go and kneel in the small ancestral hall."

Huahua became sluggish when he was too old, but he didn't dare to deny what his father said, so he could only bow his head and obey.

"I know dad."

Shang Chu on the stage has already entered the third round. This third round is refining a third-level elixir called Shengzi Dan.

The higher the monk's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to have an heir, so the birth pill was born.

It's just that this Shengzi Dan had never been refined in the early days of Shang Dynasty. Even if there are refining steps now, the result of Cheng Dan in the early days of Shang Dynasty is still unsatisfactory.

At the beginning of Shang Dynasty, it stopped in the top eight.

"I let the shopkeeper down." After Shang Chuqi stepped down, he went to the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion. The first thing he said when he met him was to apologize.
