Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 244 Four Arts Competition (3)

A total of four hundred people were introduced on the jade slip, one hundred people for each skill. The closer the person was ranked to the front, the stronger his skill was.

Nearly four-fifths of the contestants in the formation ranking of 100 are in the Jindan stage, and there are only twenty-three in the foundation-building stage.

There are relatively more people in the alchemy foundation-building stage among the top 100 people, nearly forty of them.

This was the first time for Han Xin and Shi Yan to participate in such a competition, and they were not well-known in the Tianyun Continent, so naturally their names were not on the jade slip list.

"The monks who competed in the front were the first to sign up for the competition. Those who are capable usually come later, such as you and me."

"You can pull it up, we are the last to sign up because it's late. Your situation does fit the bill, but mine doesn't."

Shi Yan disagreed with Han Xin's statement, so he comforted her: "You have to believe in yourself. With your ability, you will definitely be in the top 100."

Shi Yan still has great faith in Han Xin's alchemy skills.

Han Xin watched the entire formation competition while yawning continuously.

The first round of eliminations tested the contestants' ability to break formations. Those monks sat motionless on the stage, and no one knew what kind of formation they were testing. It was boring at all.

Everyone just stood there stupidly on the stage, staring at those people in a daze. It was so boring that it would be strange if Han Xin didn't doze off.

Not to mention Han Xin, who only had a half-baked understanding of formations, even Shi Yan's formation was boring to everyone.

Perhaps this is why it is impossible to empathize unless you participate in the situation yourself.

Shi Yan felt sorry for Han Xin, but he also wanted to learn more about the alchemy. "Let's go take another look at the alchemy. After we see the result, we'll go back."

The two of them came to the arena for alchemy. Because alchemy took more time than breaking the formation, the competition was still going on when they arrived here.

However, when the competition was just coming to an end of the first round, several alchemists had already stopped refining their medicine.

Another half a quarter of an hour later, a Nascent Soul cultivator stood up from the main seat and announced, "The first round of competition is about to begin."

Several monks in the competition who had not yet finished refining their products started shaking in their hands and their furnaces exploded when they heard the referee's words.

Those monks who had completed the refining just in time breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated themselves on their good luck.

Even if they fail to make it to the finals, they will not gain nothing. At least the pills they make will belong to them.

The raw materials for the pills refined by the contestants are provided by the organizer, but in the end the organizer allows the contestants to take the refined pills away. This alone has attracted many alchemists to sign up for the competition.

However, if those alchemists fail to finish refining a batch of pills within the specified time, the organizers will not provide them with a venue to continue refining pills.

Therefore, those whose refining has not been completed, regardless of whether the furnace will explode or not, will be eliminated with the same result.

There are hundreds of people on stage in one round of competition, and whoever succeeds in refining the elixir can enter the second round of competition.

No matter whether the pill refined is first, second or third level.

Nearly half of the monks in this round of competition entered the second round.

Han Xin joked, "I'm sure I'll win the first round. I'll take advantage of this time to practice and try to improve my alchemy skills to the third level."

Han Xin is now a second-level alchemist (the kind without a certificate). She has refined second-level pills to perfection. If she wants to refine third-level pills, she just needs to do the actual operation. When she returns, she will use the time array. Not to mention refining top-quality pills, she should have no problem refining mid-level pills.

"I believe you. Before we go into seclusion, why don't we go to a restaurant to have a good meal?" Shi Yan took Han Xin's hand and asked with a smile. Han Xin looked up with expectation, "Okay, let's go to the same restaurant as last time? I think their dishes are pretty good."

Shi Yan scratched her nose lightly and said, "You can even eat it and take it away."

Han Xin laughed, "That's fine."

The two of them changed their appearance this time, so even if they met Bai Lian, the woman, they would not worry about being recognized by her.

Their appearances changed because of their skills. If their spiritual sense was not two major levels higher than theirs, they would not be able to notice that their appearances had changed.

It can be said that in the underworld today, no one can tell that they have changed their appearance.

However, they did not want to encounter unreasonable high-level monks like last time and be kicked out of the box again. That would be too embarrassing, so they might as well just sit in the hall outside.

It’s not entirely true that they are cowards. They just don’t want to be in trouble again and are too lazy to worry about it.

They arrived relatively early, and there were only two tables of guests sitting in the restaurant hall. They found a seat by the window and sat down. They ordered five dishes, a soup, and two servings of rice, and asked the waiter to prepare them in the kitchen. They then ordered three more servings of the same amount and asked them to pack them up.

The food was soon served on the table. After the two of them had finished eating, the three portions they had requested to be taken away were also ready. After paying the spirit stones, the two of them returned to the courtyard.

On the way, they met Han Rui and the other two. Without saying hello, they walked past each other face to face.

Han Rui and the other two still looked the same as when they left Han Xin's courtyard yesterday. The three of them had never seen the changed appearance of Han Xin and the other two, so Han Rui and the other two did not recognize them.

Han Xin and the other person pretended not to know each other.

After returning to the courtyard, the two entered the space without stopping. After asking Xiao Ting to remind them of the time to come out, one went back to the weapon refining room to study the problem of his natal magic weapon, and the other went into the alchemy room to start refining the third-level elixir.

In a blink of an eye, seven days passed. The two people who were notified by Xiao Ting ate the food they packed back and then left the space.

After leaving the courtyard, he went straight to the outer city.

As soon as the two arrived at the array master's arena, Shi Yan's number plate moved, and then the referee's voice came from the stage.

"The formation masters whose number plates have changed color, please come to the arena as soon as possible to participate in the competition."

Han Xin hurriedly said, "Hurry up and check your number plate."

Shi Yan slowly took out his number plate and jokingly asked, "Why are you more anxious than a contestant like me?"

Han Xin rolled her eyes at him. It was already this late, and he was still whining. "Didn't you see that some cultivators have already flown to the arena? Hurry up and check to see if your number plate has changed color?"

Shi Yan knew without even looking that he was the first contestant to compete today. He had guessed it when he heard the movement on his number plate, but he still took a look.

The registration number previously displayed was black, but now it has turned red.

"I'm going up. If you're bored standing here, go back to the courtyard. I'll be back right after I finish the competition."

Thinking of the last experience, Shi Yan felt sorry for Han Xin.

"No need." Han Xin shook her head, "I'll wait here for you to finish the game."

Just kidding, she can choose not to watch other people’s games, but she cannot choose not to watch her own man’s games.
