Happy Taoist

Chapter 186 The first round, start! 【First update】

As the middle-aged man's voice fell, there was deafening applause inside and outside the square.

After the applause, the middle-aged man said again: "As the city lord of Diling City, I, Li Wenyi, represent Diling City to welcome all friends from the cultivation world, senior Gongsun Chen and the ten famous Dan competition judges. These ten famous The judges are, Master Bailiqian from Yun Qingzong, Master Cheng Mingyu from Huazong, Master Daoxuzi from Daoshengzong, Master Lu An from Feiyumen..."

Following Li Wenyi's introduction, thunderous applause erupted in the square once again, and those who participated in the Dan competition were even more chattering.

"This time the alchemy competition is really important, even senior Gongsun Chen is here."

"Do you still need to say that? Look at the judges, at least they are all fourth-rank alchemy masters. I heard that Master Bailiqian of Yunqingzong and Dao Xuzi of Daoshengzong are alchemy masters at the peak of fourth-rank Where is the master?"

……

Listening to everyone's discussion, Lin Yi finally realized that those who were in charge of judging the alchemy contest had various backgrounds, and they were all highly skilled in alchemy in Lingzhou.

Lin Yi also respected these seniors who had been immersed in alchemy for many years, so he continued to listen to the discussions of the people around him, and ignored the two alchemists from Feiyumen.Because in his opinion, the best way to attack is to completely defeat the alchemists of Feiyumen, instead of doing unnecessary anger.

"Senior Gongsun Chen is a five-rank alchemy master. If the level of alchemy is second in our Lingzhou, no one dares to be the first. However, under normal circumstances, he stays in his own medicine valley and does not come out. This time, I can come here as a judge, which shows how important this Dan competition is."

"It's a pity that our Lingzhou only has fifth-rank alchemy masters, but no alchemy king. Compared with other states, it is indeed much weaker."

"If you want to become a pill king, you must at least be able to refine seventh-grade pills. Among the 72 prefecture-level prefectures in our Tianyuan cultivation world, there are only ten prefecture-level prefectures that have pill kings."

"By the way, I heard that Gongsun Xue, the granddaughter of senior Gongsunchen, is also participating in the alchemy competition this time. It seems that she will be the number one in this competition."

"That's not necessarily the case. I heard that there is a young monk named Wang Kang in Feiyu Sect. He was already a peak alchemist of the third rank half a year ago. His talent is even worse than that of Gongsun Xue."

"Speaking of geniuses, Dao Xuzi's apprentice Feng Yu is also a genius alchemist. I heard that he is already a fourth-rank alchemy master. He may catch up with his master Dao Xuzi in less than ten years and become an alchemist. Dao Shengzong's first alchemist."

……

Listening to everyone's words, Lin Yi realized that he thought things too simply. There are many schools in Diling Prefecture, and there are countless geniuses. If you don't go all out, you may find it difficult to enter the top ten.

Just when Lin Yi was thinking about this, Li Wenyi's voice came again, "Everyone knows that this time the alchemy competition, in addition to ranking the alchemy rankings of the new alchemists in Lingzhou, what is more important is the alchemy competition. The top ten of the next big competition have the quota to enter the ancient medicine realm..."

Among the top ten in the alchemy competition, No.1 can have twelve places to enter the ancient medicine realm; two to four, each can have eight places; and five to seven, each can have five places; eight Up to ten, each can have three places.

Lin Yi had already learned about this from Peng Dong, but when he heard Li Wenyi repeating it again, Lin Yi was still a little excited.

As an alchemist, what he cares most about is the problem of medicinal herbs, and if he can enter the barren ancient medicine realm, he will have the opportunity to obtain various rare medicinal ingredients that cannot be obtained in the Tianyuan cultivation world, and he will be able to refine higher-level medicinal herbs , This is an irresistible temptation for any alchemist.

"Okay, I've finished talking about the rewards. I hope everyone can perform at the highest level in the competition and achieve a satisfactory result. Now, all alchemists participating in the competition, please enter your seats according to the numbers on the jade cards. I announce the official start of the 190th Ninth Alchemy Competition in Diling State..."

After a lengthy speech, the alchemy competition finally started, and many participating alchemists began to walk into their seats according to the jade cards.

Each seat is a separate room. In the room, there is a video transmission array, which allows the audience in the viewing seats to clearly know everything that happens inside.

Lin Yi walked to his seat, and saw two sets of medicinal materials neatly stacked on the table, and a bamboo slip lying quietly between the two sets of medicinal materials.

Picking up the bamboo slips, Lin Yi began to look at it, and was a little surprised to find that it turned out to be a third-grade intermediate prescription. Under the prescription, there was a line of writing: "Please use the medicine on the table within half an hour. The medicinal materials are refined to produce a third-grade intermediate elixir."

But looking at this prescription, Lin Yi didn't immediately start refining the elixir, but touched his nose, and began to frowned and meditated.

While Lin Yi was in deep thought, many alchemists participating in the competition had already begun to refine the elixir according to the prescription.Half an hour does not seem short, but for an alchemist, half an hour may not be enough to refine a elixir that has never been refined before.

In the blink of an eye, those alchemists who began to refine the elixirs as soon as they got the prescriptions either failed when extracting the liquid, or exploded during the process of congealing the elixirs. The sexual refinement was successful.

And these alchemists who had failed once, finally did not dare to easily alchemy at this time.Because these people have vaguely speculated that there might be something wrong with the prescription.

In fact, this prescription is indeed problematic.When Lin Yi saw this prescription, he had already discovered that the amount of medicinal materials in this prescription did not conform to the normal prescription production at all.

Being able to see through this problem at a glance is mainly due to the ancient book presented by Xin Ziyue.It was through the ancient book called the encyclopedia of cultivation that Lin Yi's knowledge of alchemy was enriched, so he was able to see through the problem of the weight of medicinal materials at a glance.

However, with Lin Yi's in-depth calculations, Lin Yi discovered that even the types of medicinal materials in this prescription had problems.

Some medicinal materials are optional, while some medicinal materials do not need to be added at all. In addition, there are some medicinal materials that are not written in the prescription.

Although some medicinal materials were calculated that were not written down in the prescription, Lin Yi did not know which medicinal materials were not written down. Therefore, he still needed to calculate one by one from the medicinal materials on the table to find the missing medicinal materials. And calculate the required amount of the medicinal material.

Calculating medicinal ingredients and calculating the dosage is not an easy task, sometimes it even takes days, months or even years.

Of course, there is not so much time for Lin Yi to calculate right now, nearly half of the half hour has passed.In the remaining half of the time, he has to figure out which medicinal materials are missing, calculate the amount of medicinal materials, and at the same time successfully refine the elixir.

Counting down, his time is simply not enough!
