I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

The slender hands put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one in an orderly manner.

Chu Ning was very familiar with his movements and was not affected by the tension of the game at all.

In this round, the contestants are all first-grade alchemists.

Normally, there are ten pills in a pot, but in the atmosphere of this competition, in order to stand out, the minimum requirement is fifteen pills.

Chu Ning did not rush to fire, but glanced around and found that the alchemists had added more weight as he imagined.

However, these are all first-grade alchemists in the Qi Condensation Stage, and those first-grade alchemists in the Foundation Establishment Stage still choose ten quantities of medicinal materials, obviously preparing to take the road of quality.

"Then refine twelve."

Chu Ning finished putting the medicinal ingredients, closed the furnace lid, and activated the flame.

The speed is consistent with that of most alchemists, and the entire platform is almost filled with the sound of flames burning the alchemy furnace.

The temperature also rose sharply.

Refining alchemy is a boring job, at least from a visual point of view, it is not like a fighting competition, where the light of various magic weapons and auras are flying in the sky.

But even so, the onlookers were still watching intently.

For some forces, this alchemist competition is also an opportunity for them to make friends with alchemists.

Three hours later.

There was a sudden explosion on the alchemy table, someone blew up the furnace.

The alchemist who exploded the furnace was blushing. Faced with the looks of other alchemists around him and the fearful looks of the onlookers, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Qi Condensing Pill is the most basic pill, and it is almost difficult for a first-level alchemist to miss it.

This is affected by the atmosphere.

Chu Ning sighed slightly in her heart. The state of mind when refining alchemy is also very important.

Just like in exams, students with average academic performance often perform abnormally due to high psychological pressure.

After the alchemist exploded the furnace, three more alchemists exploded the furnace in the next half hour.

This actually aroused the interest of the onlookers. Watching the boring alchemy is not as interesting as watching the furnace explode.

Chu Ning's mind was not affected at all and she continued to refine her own pill furnace.

This alchemist competition is related to whether he can solve the crisis, so he has no intention of hiding his weakness, but is ready to go all out.

A quarter of an hour later.

There was the fragrance of red dandelion coming, and someone turned on the stove.

This is a foundation-building alchemy master. The alchemy furnace is opened and contains ten Qi Condensing Pills, nine good ones and one top grade.

The alchemist's opening of the furnace seemed to sound the clarion call to open the furnace. In the following time, alchemists would open the furnace every few breaths.

The normal time for refining the Qi Condensing Pill is almost at this time.

"Two top-grade ones, this alchemist is very powerful."

"This... this is a failure. Although one top-quality product was produced, the remaining nine did not even reach the level of good quality. This is because we pursued the quality of a single product too much and neglected the overall control."

"Fifteen good products, winning by quantity, but it's a bit of a cliffhanger."

Every alchemist's opening of the furnace will arouse discussions among the onlookers, with some being amazed and some regretful.

Soon, more than 300 alchemists had fired more than half of the furnaces, and the fiftieth ranked person at this moment was 8 good-quality pills and 2 high-grade pills, which translates into 18 good-grade Qi Condensing Pills.

Wow!

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers burst into a chorus of surprise.

This is true even on the alchemy table.

Those alchemists who had already opened the furnace looked at the newly opened alchemy furnace with disbelief in their eyes.

Eight top-grade Qi-Condensing Pills, plus four good-grade Qi-Condensing Pills.

This result directly ranks first.

Everyone's eyes turned to the owner of the alchemy furnace, a young man in the early stages of foundation building. His expression was dull, and he even shook his head with slight regret, as if such results were somewhat different from his original expectations.

"This seedling is good."

On the top of the mountain, Xie Shouping, a third-grade alchemist, also noticed this scene. One of the old men had a look of approval on his face.

"Old Xie, why don't you just accept him as your disciple?"

"I only accept the first place in this competition."

Although Xie Shouping was a little surprised, he was not so moved that he wanted to become a disciple.

"Where does this son come from?"

Another third-level alchemist spoke, and Xie Shouping waved his hand, and a registration book fell into his hands.

This registration book contains the names of all the alchemists who signed up this time. In addition, there is also basic information about these alchemists.

The main thing is where it comes from and how many years it has been spent refining the elixir. There are no more details.

Wen Jinzong didn't bother to investigate all the alchemists. Some people were destined to be eliminated in the first round. There was no point in investigating them in such detail.

"Ke Yunxin, I remember this person." The old man glanced at the roster and said calmly.

With the achievements of this alchemist, other alchemists did not attract much attention even if they refined high-grade Qi Condensing Pills.

Many people's eyes were still fixed on the young alchemist.

Until, a young man in rich clothes opened the stove.

Ten high-grade Qi Condensing Pills appeared in the pill furnace.

No. 171.

Not far from Chu Ning, Chu Ning could see the curve of the corner of the other party's mouth.

"The whole furnace is top-grade, and this alchemy talent is too terrifying."

"The Qi Condensing Pill is not difficult, but in this kind of competition, it puts a lot of pressure on the alchemist. If you don't have absolute confidence in your own strength, you won't dare to refine the top grade in the whole furnace."

The alchemists around them understand the alchemists best. In this kind of multi-round competition, the first round is usually about stability, as long as you can advance.

Because the whole furnace is refining high-grade elixirs, if something goes wrong, the entire army is likely to be destroyed and directly eliminated.

Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou, who were suspended in the air and watched, also stared at each other. This person would be their strong enemy in the next few rounds.

As second-grade alchemists, they do not need to participate in the first round and can directly advance to the second round.

To be honest, these first-grade alchemists were not noticed by them at first, but now that this one is starting the furnace, several people feel the pressure.

"This man is a master."

Chu Ning looked at the opponent's ten high-grade Qi Condensing Pills and was a little surprised. Under such circumstances, he could still make ten high-grade Qi Condensing Pills in one furnace, which was very good.

By chance, this person's eyes also glanced over.

It wasn't that the other party wanted to look at Chu Ning on purpose, but that the two alchemists between them had already fired up the furnace. At this moment, they left their original positions and their eyes happened to fall on Chu Ning.

Their eyes met and Chu Ning gave him a thumbs up.

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled back at Chu Ning.

"Ten top-grade Qi Condensing Pills, an absolute alchemy genius, Lao Xie, you have really been able to gain a good disciple this time."

At the top of the mountain, the third-level alchemists around Xie Shouping also had expressions of emotion on their faces.

They don't care whether they are a first-grade alchemist or a second-grade alchemist. As long as they train the best, it only takes ten years, which is enough time for the disciple to move from first-grade to second-grade.

Ten years is nothing to a strong person in the Golden Core stage.

"Lao Xie has not accepted a disciple for so many years. I didn't expect to find such a good candidate this time."

"You Xing, I remember this person."

Faced with the envious expressions of those around him, Xie Shouping just smiled and said nothing.

…

You Xing glanced at the whole audience indifferently, and he did not feel any exception that he was able to refine ten high-grade Qi Condensing Pills.

If it wasn't for the teacher's request, he wouldn't have come to participate in this alchemy competition, because he already has a master.

Among the first-level alchemists, he believed that there was absolutely no one stronger than himself among the hundred cities.

After You Xing opened the furnace, there were only a few alchemists left who had not yet started the furnace.

Chu Ning didn't waste any more time, formed a seal with her hands, and opened the furnace lid.

However, not many of the people watching around him laid their eyes on his pill furnace. Everyone's eyes were still attracted by You Xing's ten high-grade Qi Condensing Pills.

At most, it was just a glance from the corner of my eye.

Huh!

Just this glance from the corner of his eye made many onlookers feel as if they were seeing something wrong.

Huh!

Hey!

Hey hey hey!

It wasn't until the number of such astonishing sounds increased that these people were sure that they weren't being blinded.

"If I read it correctly, these are twelve top-grade Qi Condensing Pills."

Finally, someone in the crowd shouted out, and the next moment, everyone's eyes fell on the tray in Chu Ning's hand.

The twelve high-grade Qi Condensing Pills taken out from the pill furnace were filled with luster.

There are no grades for elixirs. As long as they are top-grade, they will have a restrained luster. But if they are top-grade, they will have strange lights. Different top-grade pills will have different lights.

You Xing got closer and his eyes fell on the tray for the first time. His pupils shrank and there was a look of shock in his eyes, but then this look of shock turned into fighting intent.

Unexpectedly, I made a mistake. Thinking about the thumbs up that the other party gave me earlier, I felt a little weird now.

The three people flying in the air, Bao Huining, were staring at Chu Ning. Except for Zhang Junming, whose eyes were just shocked, Bao Huining and Qiong Liangyou had murderous intent in their eyes.

This Chu Ning is hiding his clumsiness!

"This guy can tell whether my elixir is poisonous. It's not some mythical luck theory. It's because he has a different sensitivity in alchemy than ordinary people!"

Bao Huining instantly understood that he had been deceived. Qiong Liangyou looked at Bao Huining's gloomy face and felt a little more comfortable.

This Chu Ning is definitely a genius in alchemy. Bao Huining originally had the opportunity to take this person under his command, and even if it didn't work out, he could also form a relationship, but now it's all ruined.

Huang Fei, who was a little further away, paid attention immediately when Chu Ning turned on the furnace, and when he saw the twelve high-grade elixirs, his breathing became rapid.

He made the right bet.

Chu Ning did hide his talent in alchemy, and it was not an ordinary talent.

With only a furnace of twelve high-grade Qi Condensing Pills, as long as Chu Ning chooses to join the sect, the elders of the sect will provide him with training and attention. Even if Master Bao wants to attack Chu Ning, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Asking the top of Jinfeng Mountain, a smile flashed in Xie Shouping's eyes. This boy did not disappoint him.

Especially Chu Ning's expression at this moment was calm and composed, as if refining twelve high-grade Qi Condensing Pills was just a trivial matter.

This state of mind made him even more satisfied.

…

…

"In this round of competition, the first place is Chu Ning, the second place is You Xing, and the third place is Ke Yunxin..."

As the referee announced the results, the eyes of all the onlookers, including the participating alchemists, focused on the three of them.

"You are very strong." You Xing whispered to Chu Ning.

"It's just a fluke. Fellow Daoist You is not weak either." Chu Ning replied lightly.

You Xing did not answer, but Ke Yunxin nodded: "Yes, alchemy sometimes involves luck, but luck is also a part of strength. No matter what, you win this round."

Listening to Ke Yunxin's words, You Xing had a look of disdain on his face, luck?

That was when refining a highly difficult elixir of the same grade. Refining a Qi Condensing elixir also relied on luck, so this person was not worthy of being his opponent.

A golden light fell from the mountain peak and landed on the referee's hand.

The referee looked at the words written by the fifth elder on the paper and said loudly: "The eliminated ones have left the alchemy stage. The second round of competition is about to begin. All registered second-grade alchemists please enter the stage."
