Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

On the day of the competition, the square of the City Lord's Mansion was crowded with people, rubbing shoulders with each other. Countless Qingyan City residents gathered here, eagerly looking forward to this unknown competition.

At the invitation of the city lord Lu Jing, Xiao Ruoyao and Qin Tianshu sat at the top as representatives of both parties. On both sides of the two people, there were also five alchemists that Qin Tianshu invited with great effort.

Although these alchemists are not as famous as Qin Tianshu, they are still somewhat famous and famous. They accepted Qin Tianshu's invitation, on the one hand, to find out Jia Chan's alchemy skills, and on the other hand, they also wanted to know what kind of person Chu Qing was, who had always been highly praised by Qin Tianshu.

When the prescribed time for the competition came, Lu Jing walked onto the ring and said pleasantly to the people standing in the audience: "This competition is between Jia Chan, the master of Qingxing Hall in Yunjian Pavilion, and Chu Qing, a rising star in alchemy. This is a technical competition. I will be the notary for this competition. The process of the competition must be fair and impartial. Any cheating will not be allowed. No matter who this person is, they will not be allowed to continue to engage in alchemy in the future. Work."

As he spoke, Lu Jing turned to look at the many alchemists sitting at the top behind him, and the alchemists also nodded slowly to him.

This means that the results of this competition will be jointly supervised by them. If someone really cheats, then they will work together to use their influence to ban this person.

Lu Jing continued: "Then, let's invite the two alchemists to participate in the competition. Jia Chan, the master of Qingxing Hall, and Chu Qing, the rookie alchemist, will be invited to compete!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a man and a woman boarding the ring from the left and right sides.

The woman who stepped onto the ring had bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque features. She was wearing a green short coat and had a slight smile on her face. After she stepped onto the ring, she just nodded to everyone and walked directly to her alchemy furnace.

The men who stepped onto the ring were in sharp contrast to the women.

I saw that the man was wearing an eyepatch on his face, covering his right eye firmly. His expression was cold, his hair was messy, and the clothes he was wearing were rather sloppy. He didn't look like an alchemist, but more like a bandit who came out of that mountain nook. He also nodded to everyone, but the sinister look in his left eye inadvertently made those who saw it couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts.

Everyone below couldn't help but started talking.

"Is this person really an alchemist? Why doesn't he look like him at all?"

"Who knows! But I heard that he is very much appreciated by Master Qin. He should have two brushes, right?"

"To be honest, I prefer the woman on the right to win. Her name seems to be Jia Chan, right?"

"Yes, that's right. I don't know how good Dr. Jia's alchemy skills are, but she really helps the world by hanging the pot and has a bodhisattva heart. My neighbor Wang Laosan broke his leg a few days ago, and she cured it."

"Oh, it's rare to see such a kind-hearted doctor these days!"

"No! If it were Master Qin, even if you died in front of him, he wouldn't even look at you!"

…

Listening to the discussion below, both Chu Qing and Qin Tianshu looked unhappy.

Qin Tianshu coughed and said calmly: "City Lord Lu, without further ado, let the competition begin now!"

Lu Jing nodded to Qin Tianshu with some respect, and then said loudly: "I announce that the competition has begun!"

The rules of the competition are very simple, that is, five alchemists invited by Qin Tianshu will serve as judges to set the questions, and then the five judges will compare the elixirs refined by the two, and three or more judges will be selected. The one who supports wins.

Some people may want to ask, these five judges were all invited by Qin Tianshu. Aren't Jia Chan and Xiao Ruoyao worried that the five judges are leaning towards Chu Qing?

Xiao Ruoyao is really not worried about this issue. She said that if anyone dared to tell lies with their eyes open, Xiao Ruoyao would let them experience her Xiaoyao Thirty-Six Sword Techniques for themselves.

After Lu Jing walked off the stage, the leader of the five judges stood up and said loudly: "The first question is to refine Qi Yi Dan. Both parties are required to refine a pot within half an hour. The number of Yiqi pills must not be less than ten. Those who refine the number of less than ten will lose, and those who refine it over time will lose."

As soon as they finished speaking, Chu Qing and Jia Chan immediately began to pick medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet behind them.

The respective medicine cabinets behind them are not uniform. Chu Qing's medicine cabinet was prepared by Qin Tianshu, and it was filled with the finest medicinal materials carefully selected by Qin Tianshu. Jia Chan's medicine cabinet was moved directly from Qingxingtang, and the quality of the medicinal materials in it was relatively average.

This shows that Qin Tianshu is really willing to invest in Chu Qing.

Qi Yi Dan belongs to the entry level in alchemy. After many alchemists enter the alchemy field, the first elixir they refine with blood energy is Qi Yi Dan.

The effect of Yiqi Dan is also very simple, which is to quickly restore the user's true energy. But precisely because of its single effect, there are many kinds of prescriptions for Yiqi Dan. There are as many as thirty-seven kinds of prescriptions handed down from generation to generation, and there are forty-six kinds of prescriptions derived from it. As for those alchemy recipes developed by alchemists themselves but not spread, there are even more unknown.

Therefore, the key point of this test question is whether the two of them have their own elixirs.

In addition, since the level of Yiqi Dan is very low, many high-level alchemists will not work hard on Yiqi Dan. It can be said that the refining of Yiqi Dan hits the research blind spot of most high-level alchemists.

From this, it can be seen that this question is more inclined to Chu Qing. After all, Chu Qing's qualifications are still very shallow, and the refining of low-level pills is relatively simple for him, while high-level alchemists like Jia Chan will inevitably despise it.

As a new alchemist who is highly respected by Qin Tianshu, Chu Qing naturally has his own secret pill recipe. He was not in a hurry to select the medicinal materials, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

What a coincidence! The ancient alchemy book that I accidentally obtained happened to record a long-lost Yiqi Dan formula. It seems that this time, I won!

After Chu Qing confidently selected the medicinal materials, he began to refine them calmly.

Not long after, Jia Chan also selected the medicinal materials and started to refine the pills.

The two of them offered the alchemy fire and baked the alchemy furnace. After preheating for a while, they began to put the medicinal materials into it one by one.

While the two were concentrating on refining the elixir, the alchemists on the stage also started to discuss.

The alchemist sitting on the far left was named Wei Yongshou, a close friend of Qin Tianshu. It was he who proposed the topic of refining the Yiqi Pill. When seeing Chu Qing offering the alchemy fire, Wei Yongshou's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Is this the fire of good fortune? It is said that this is the most suitable flame for alchemy. This Chu Qing is really amazing. He actually let him obtain the fire of good fortune! This boy has unlimited future!"

The alchemist sitting next to him was named Wu Jian. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this fire of good fortune is extremely rare. It is said that only those who are blessed by heaven can obtain this fire. The reason why this fire is called 'fire of good fortune' is because it is created by heaven and earth and has infinite vitality. The elixir refined with this fire can almost revive the dead and turn flesh and bones into white bones. It is really enviable!"

Speaking of this, Wu Jian looked at Chu Qing with a hint of eagerness.

At this time, the alchemist sitting in the second seat on the right was named Kong Jue. He coughed and said, "You two, maybe you should also take a look at the fire used by Jia Tangzhu."

Wei Yongshou chuckled and said, "Although Jia Tangzhu has the support of Yunjian Pavilion, it is difficult to get a better fire than the fire of creation."

Kong Jue shook his head and sighed, "Brother Wei, whether it is cultivation or alchemy, remember not to sit in the well and look at the sky, otherwise it will not only make a fool of yourself, but also limit your vision. Brother Wei might as well take a closer look at the fire used by Jia Tangzhu before you talk about it."

Wei Yongshou sneered and looked at Jia Chan's fire without caring. At first, he still had a sarcastic smile on his face, but then his eyes gradually became solemn, and his expression revealed an unbelievable look.

The more he looked, the more fascinated he became, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. After a long time, he murmured, "How is it possible? How is this possible? How could she have such a fire?"

While refining the elixir, Chu Qing also devoted some of his energy to the judges' seat. After all, his greatest pleasure in life is to show off and slap others in the face, and the reactions of others are extremely important to him. At first, when he heard Wei Yongshou praising his Dan Fire, Chu Qing's face was calm, but he had already been complacent in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after, he actually lost his composure in front of Jia Chan's Dan Fire.

Chu Qing was puzzled and couldn't help looking at Jia Chan's side. I saw that the Dan Fire burning under Jia Chan's alchemy furnace was hot and fierce. At first glance, it looked a little familiar, but Chu Qing couldn't remember what this Dan Fire was for a while.

At this time, other alchemists also noticed Wei Yongshou's abnormality and cast their eyes on Jia Chan's Dan Fire. At first, they were still confused, but after observing carefully for a while, they all showed disbelief.

Someone couldn't help but murmured: "Is there really anyone who can tame this kind of extremely yang and fierce fire and use it to refine pills? This is simply unheard of!"

At this time, Xiao Ruoyao suddenly spoke.

She said calmly, "Can you please stop being so ignorant? Isn't it just the Nine-Li Heavenly Fire? Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it, right?"

When the four words "Nine-Li Heavenly Fire" were heard, all the cultivators present widened their eyes.

The Nine-Li Heavenly Fire is recognized as the most yang and fierce fire. Legend has it that this fire can burn all tangible things in the world, and almost everything can be burned. All the cultivators have heard of this fire, but few have seen it. So the cultivators present were skeptical about what Xiao Ruoyao said.

But the alchemist was more concerned about another key point.

Because the Nine-Li Heavenly Fire was too fierce, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to tame this fire and use it to make pills. So how did Jia Chan do it?
