Standing on the high platform, Qin Ming, who was stooped but energetic, looked at the heated venue and chuckled: "Now, all contestants are asked to enter their respective competition areas and seats according to their respective competition numbers."

Although the venue was large and the atmosphere was very heated, Qin Ming's voice resounded in everyone's ears like a bell. This shows that this stooped old man has extremely extraordinary strength.

As Qin Ming's words fell, many young talented alchemists in the competition stand stood up one after another. Some of them were geniuses from the Alchemist Alliance of the Thirty-six Counties of Lingzhou, and some were disciples trained by free alchemists.

But at this moment, they only have one identity in common, that is, they are contestants in the Alchemy Conference.

Likewise, in the next forty or fifty years, they will be the backbone of Lingzhou's alchemists.

In the very center of the venue, there are two fan-shaped areas.

A fan-shaped area on the left is the competition area for second-grade alchemists.

The fan-shaped area on the right is the competition area for third-grade alchemists.

Lu Yun entered the competition table No. 156 in the third-grade alchemist area according to his competition number.

With a quick glance, he could see the entire competition stage layout clearly.

The first thing that caught the eye was a red alchemy furnace. Its structure was similar to the one used by Lu Yun in the alchemy room on the second floor of Jingyang, Lingwu County.

Inside the alchemy furnace, there are several black stones, which are flints often used by low-level alchemists.

There is an extremely smooth bluestone platform next to it, with a pile of elixirs neatly stacked on it, at least twenty kinds. Next to the elixirs, there is a simple scroll quietly placed.

In addition, in the corner of the bluestone platform, there is a jade mirror with a faint light flickering. It shows the scene around the alchemy furnace and illuminates it clearly.

Lu Yun's eyes moved slightly, scanning the entire venue, and found that the four east and northwest corners of the huge venue were projected with a picture, which looked like the scene of four different competition stages.

In the east corner, the picture projected at this time seems to be the competition stage where Chu Yuanyao is located.

Beside the bluestone platform, Chu Yuanyao held her fragrant cheeks in her hand, her beautiful eyes looking straight at the elixir and simple scrolls in front of her. Her eyes were filled with brilliant colors. Her graceful waist and elegant and beautiful posture were displayed on the huge picture. In general, she is like a goddess.

"Ouch...little fairy Yuanyao..." Looking at the beautiful and lovely Chu Yuanyao, a group of energetic young alchemists in the audience stared straight at each other and howled like wolves.

Facing such a hot scene, Chu Yuanyao's innocent and lovely face smiled slyly, setting off the scene again.

However, such a hot scene did not last long. Chu Yuanyao's beautiful figure disappeared from the screen, and what appeared in everyone's eyes was a sloppy young man. If he hadn't seen the very conspicuous third-grade alchemy on his chest, If he wears the division badge, he will probably be drowned in the saliva of many spectators at the scene.

The pictures projected in the four corners are different. The east and west corners are responsible for projecting the picture of the third-grade alchemist area, and the north and south corners are responsible for projecting the picture of the second-grade alchemist's corner.

Every alchemist participating in the competition has the opportunity to be on camera.

"An alchemy conference was almost turned into a live broadcast." Lu Yun smiled faintly and looked away.

At the same time, he finally understood why such an alchemy conference could attract so many alchemists to gather.

The jade mirror on the bluestone platform can accurately reflect the alchemy techniques and processes of these talented alchemists. This is definitely a rare opportunity for most alchemists to observe and learn.

Gathering his thoughts, Lu Yun picked up the ancient scroll on the bluestone table, glanced across it, and found that it was a third-grade elixir recipe.

What surprised him was that this prescription was different from the previous prescriptions.

The reason why the alchemy prescriptions are not recorded on ordinary paper is because the alchemy requires the alchemist to use his or her spiritual power to record them. Ordinary paper cannot carry them at all. Special scrolls must be used to carry the imprint of spiritual power and guarantee it for several years or even It will not be destroyed or diluted for more than ten years.

Moreover, as long as you use your mental power to read the elixir prescription burned by the alchemist's mental power, you can completely write down the contents of the elixir prescription and the issues that need attention in the shortest possible time.

But the elixir formula on this scroll was not written using mental power, but copied directly. It only has the corresponding quantity of the type of elixir that needs to be used, and the general refining method. There are no other specific details. Any description.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for most alchemists.

After all, it is impossible to refine all third-grade elixirs, and it is impossible to be familiar with the properties of all elixirs.

In addition, what surprised Lu Yun was that there were almost twenty kinds of elixirs placed on the bluestone table.

Among them, for each elixir, there are at least one or two that look similar, but their properties and effects are completely different.

"It is indeed an alchemy conference. Its difficulty level far exceeds the ordinary alchemist assessment." Lu Yun, who was holding the scroll, slightly curved his mouth.

It can be said that this game contains many things.

There are the identification of elixirs, techniques for controlling fire, refining of elixirs, etc...

This is difficult for others.

But for Lu Yun, who accepted all aspects of inheritance, that was all.

Turning around and looking around, he found that there were many young alchemists around him looking at the scrolls in their hands, with troubled looks on their faces.

Only a few people, like Lu Yun, had a faint smile on their faces after seeing the prescription on the scroll.

On the third stage, a third-level alchemist with gloomy eyes glanced at Lu Yun and Chu Yuanyao. He couldn't help but chuckle and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you have good talent. The assessment of the conference is not Based on age and talent, we compete to see who can refine the best elixir. In the end, the champion of the competition can only be me, Mu Changfeng."

He is now in his mid-twenties, almost the oldest among the many participants, but this does not mean that his alchemy level is low.

Mu Changfeng participated in the alchemy conference five years ago, but because he had just been promoted to a third-level alchemist not long ago, his final results were very unsatisfactory.

After returning, he frantically improved his alchemy level, including his identification of elixirs, improvement of fire control techniques, and even collected various elixir recipes, just to continuously improve and improve his level so that he could participate in the alchemy conference. , won the championship in one fell swoop, received rewards from the conference, and was promoted to a fourth-level alchemist.

In the huge square, many young alchemists who claimed to be geniuses were holding scrolls in their hands, studying and thinking seriously, with different expressions.

There are also quite a few people, like Mu Changfeng, who look like they are bound to win the championship.

Such a solemn and tense atmosphere lasted for half a cup of tea before a crisp bell rang throughout the huge venue.

As the sound of the bell fell faintly, Qin Ming, who symbolized the leading level in the alchemy world of Lingzhou, stood up, glanced at the talented alchemists who were already in their positions, and spoke slowly.

"I believe you are already familiar with your respective competition stages, have obtained your own elixir recipes, and have a rough refining method in mind, so now I will announce the rules of the competition for you."

A calm and steady voice slowly resounded in everyone's ears: "The first thing you have to do is to find out the materials needed for the elixir from many similar elixirs based on the elixir recipe, and then use the elixir you already have. Use the experience to refine and purify these elixirs and refine the corresponding elixirs."

"At the junction of the two competition areas, there is a huge hourglass. That is the competition time. As long as you refine the finished elixir before the sand in the hourglass completely leaks out, it will be considered a success."

"I would like to emphasize again that there are enough elixirs on the bluestone platform of each competition stage. Only if you refine the corresponding finished elixir within the limited time can you advance to the finals."

"Wait, are you clear?" Qin Ming's voice fell slowly.

"yes!"

In the center of the venue, many talented alchemists from the two participating areas raised their voices in unison, like thunder, causing echoes that echoed in all directions.

"In that case, the preliminaries of the 53rd Alchemy Conference begin now!"

Qin Ming's old hand pressed down slightly, and the huge hourglass began to work.

At the same time, in the two opposite arenas, each alchemy furnace was blazing with fire, and huge screens in the four corners of the southeast and northwest began to broadcast busy figures one after another.

Lu Yun did not light the fire of the alchemy furnace immediately, and his eyes slowly fell on the scroll.

What is recorded on the scroll is a third-grade elixir called 'Reinjury Pill', which is a kind of elixir that can treat serious injuries. This kind of therapeutic elixir is generally not very cost-effective. It's not easy, but the market price is not as good as those beneficial elixirs.

Therefore, this kind of elixir recipe is also relatively biased, and most alchemists are not very keen on refining therapeutic elixirs such as 'rejuvenation elixir'.

The Alchemy Alliance has many considerations for using this alchemy recipe as an assessment. One is to let many talented alchemists understand that only by developing in all directions can they better improve their alchemy level.

In addition, these alchemists are also allowed to focus on the refining of these therapeutic elixirs. After all, on the battlefield ahead, the demand for therapeutic elixirs is far greater than the demand for gain elixirs.

Of course, the intentions of the Alchemist Alliance are not understood by these talented alchemists. In their view, using these relatively biased alchemy recipes as the content of the assessment is simply to increase the difficulty of the assessment.

Keeping the incomplete recipe on the scroll in his mind, Lu Yun slowly closed his eyes. Not long after, a rough idea of ​​refining appeared in his mind.

He slowly opened his eyes, exhaled gently, and immediately looked around, finding that most of the people had already selected the elixir and threw it into the alchemy furnace to start refining it.

Being able to become a third-grade alchemist before the age of twenty-five means that everyone has the foundation to stand out from the crowd. It is not difficult for them to identify some pills that look similar but have different properties.

The difficulty is to refine the finished elixir within a limited time without experience and without knowing the details of refining.

From this pile of elixirs that are neatly arranged but full of great confusion, we select the materials needed to refine the recovery pill. There are seven types in total, including dew grass, black tongue grass, and purple orchid grass. , black leaf lotus, snow lotus seeds, etc.

After selecting the elixir, Lu Yun smiled faintly, waved his sleeves, and the lid of the red alchemy furnace flew up. Immediately, he moved his fingers slightly, and wisps of pure Yang Qi appeared between his fingers. The hot breath radiates out, and the surrounding temperature rises rapidly.

"Gang Yuan?" At the moment when Lu Yun had just started the furnace, the picture projected in the east corner seemed to be the competition stage where he was.

The moment he used Gang Yuan, countless eyes from both the VIP seats and the audience gathered to see the golden Gang Yuan blooming on his fingers, and there were bursts of exclamations.

Although different scenes were playing in the four corners at this time, and some had even begun to put elixirs into them for refining, Lu Yun quickly attracted the attention of many people after using Gang Yuan.

"Golden Gang Yuan?" Looking at the golden Gang Yuan used by Lu Yun, Qin Ming's vicissitudes of eyes showed a moment of shock, and then chuckled: "Haha, this alchemy conference is interesting, even the martial arts talent is so evil The little ones are also attracted.”

On the high platform, Qian Yu's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Qu Feng, who was sitting upright next to him, and asked tentatively: "I remember you seemed to bet on this little guy to win the championship!"

"What, is there a problem?" At this time, the bet has been decided, and Qu Feng is too lazy to play the role of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger with the other party.

Qian Yu's gray eyebrows raised slightly, "No, you wouldn't think that if you are talented in martial arts, your talent in alchemy must be high!"

Qu Feng smiled faintly: "I don't know whether Lu Yun's alchemy talent is high, but I know that it is not difficult for him to refine a few high-quality elixirs with alchemy patterns."

Hearing this, Di Qing glanced at him. Among all the people present, apart from Qu Feng, he was the one who knew Lu Yun's details best. Refining a few high-quality pills with pill patterns was not a problem at all.

A furnace of third-grade elixirs has a 100% success rate, and a quality rate of almost 50%. Even if they, the sixth-grade alchemists, refine it themselves, they may not be able to achieve this level if their condition is not good.

With a flick of his finger, the golden pure Yang Yuan fell directly on several black flints in the alchemy furnace. With a whoosh, raging flames burst into flames.

Immediately, the cold red alchemy furnace quickly heated up. Lu Yun used pure Yang Gangyuan to control the fire in the alchemy furnace, just like playing, and the heat quickly reached the level he expected.

With a move of his right hand, he had already selected a few elixirs alone and flew them into the alchemy furnace one by one.

Immediately, with a wave of his sleeves, the furnace lid hovering in the air was closed again, and Lu Yun began to use pure Yang Gang Yuan to control the heat in the alchemy furnace.

Even though he has refined hundreds of furnaces of elixirs, the elixir success rate remains at 100%.

But at this time, he still did not dare to be careless, and his attention was entirely focused on the alchemy furnace. He had no idea about the situation of other alchemists around him, as well as the sensation caused by him in the outside auditorium and VIP seats.

Because this pot of elixir is not just as simple as completing the task.

This is related to whether he can successfully win the championship of the alchemy conference and obtain that precious natural fire.

The huge picture projected in the air still showed the competition stage where Lu Yun was.

The golden pure Yang Yang Yuan was so bright, and the young man was so dazzling, pulling everyone's hearts.
