Chapter 264 A Small Session in Three Hundred Years, a Big Session in Three Thousand Years
Alchemy.
Especially for fifth-grade elixirs, the process is long.
The alchemists around him watched with great interest. Watching other alchemists refining elixirs, especially the elixirs refined by alchemists who were stronger than themselves, could bring some help to their own elixir refining.
This is also the reason why so many young alchemists came to watch.
People like Chu Ning are participating in the newcomer competition, but this so-called newcomer is only compared to the god-transforming monks, and compared to the sixth- or even seventh-grade alchemists.
There are still many second- and third-grade aboriginal alchemists in the entire Alchemy Domain whose realm is below Nascent Soul.
In the eyes of these young alchemists, newcomers like Chu Ning are the "seniors" and the "strong ones".
"Brother, let's go."
"Junior brother, don't you want to see the results of Chu Xiaoyou's alchemy?"
"We've seen enough. If Chu Ning succeeds in refining it, we can know the result from the light curtain of Sihai Trading Company."
Zhao Qin smiled slightly. He came to support Chu Ning. Although the results of the alchemy were not yet available, Chu Ning had already made a name for himself among the younger generation in the alchemy realm. There was no need for him to wait any longer.
As for meeting Chu Ning afterwards, although he also wanted to have a drink and chat with Chu Ning, this time, besides coming to the Dan Realm to watch Chu Ning's alchemy competition, he had other more important things to do.
There is ample time!
Xie Feng did not continue to ask. This time he followed his junior brother out of the Taiyuan Realm. He was taking his junior brother to the Demon Slaying Realm on the order of his master.
The two brothers left Dan City. As for the bets from Sihai Trading Company, there is no need to rush to exchange them. Sihai Trading Company has shops in the nine regions. As long as you hold the voucher, you can exchange your bets at any Sihai Trading Company store in the nine regions.
…
…
There is no time for refining elixirs.
Six months later, a player's alchemy furnace made a "bang" sound, and a look of annoyance appeared on the player's face.
Candan exploded.
Seeing the player's annoyed look, all the alchemists watching on the scene did not mock him, but sympathized with him.
As an alchemist, who has not experienced hundreds or thousands of pill explosions, but in this competition for newcomers, this situation rarely occurs.
It rarely appears because in the third round, players are allowed to choose the elixir they want to refine. Each player chooses the elixir that he is sure of. Only a few who are too unlucky have elixirs appear. The situation of explosive explosion.
But this time the third round of assessment was different. Refining the residual pill was already very difficult, and soon the onlookers who were not alchemists also felt the difficulty.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Every month that followed, a player's elixir burst and refining failed.
The alchemy skills of the contestants who can stand in this square and participate in the rookie competition are definitely among the best among their peers. These contestants have failed one after another. It is not that the level of these contestants is not good, but that this round of assessment is too difficult.
"It seems that it is even more difficult for those who choose to add medicinal materials to refining. Those who choose to add medicinal materials are confident enough in their alchemy skills."
A middle-aged man lamented that he was from the Jinglan Territory and was not an alchemist. He did not come here specially to watch the newcomer competition, but because he came to the Alchemy Territory to seek alchemy and happened to catch up. Come and watch the fun.
"Of course. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be three senior grandmasters presiding over this newcomer competition. In the past, it was always one, and the assessment content wouldn't have been changed."
An old alchemist next to him added: "It's because there are too many talented newcomers this year. If we still use the previous methods, I'm afraid we won't be able to distinguish between Grade A and Grade B..."
"There is a popular saying in the Dan Realm that there is a small competition every three hundred years and a big competition every three thousand years. In this competition of newcomers that happens every three hundred years, there will be a competition with many geniuses every three thousand years. Calculating the distance from the last big competition, More than two thousand years have passed."
Three thousand years is just a vague quantifier. It does not necessarily mean three thousand years. It is just to make it easier to pronounce.
"In the big freshman competition, the second-class ranking is the first-class ranking of the smaller class. This is recognized by the entire Dan Realm."
An alchemist who knew the competition for newcomers spoke slowly. Geniuses such as Lu Sizhong and Zhang Jicheng, including Tong Shouxian and Zhang Hanqing, in the junior competition, there would only be one at most, and sometimes not even one.
"When it comes to major competitions, another sign is that in every major competition, there will be a super genius who will be remembered by the entire Dan Realm. The super genius this time will be Chu Ning."
"Chun Ning is still one step away from becoming a super genius. If he succeeds in refining the elixir, no alchemist in the Dan Realm will deny Chu Ning's status as a super genius, but it is still a little short of that."
Crowned!
Chu Ning needs to successfully refine the elixir to crown his title of super genius.
Just like some of the top stars in previous lives, no matter how dazzling their performance is on weekdays, they all need the final title of a world-class game to be crowned.
Without this championship, he is just a superstar and cannot become the king of the ball.
The same is true for Chu Ning now. If this elixir cannot be refined, some alchemists will recognize his status as a super genius, while some alchemists will not recognize it, and there will be controversy.
But as long as Chu Ning succeeds in refining it, there will be no controversy. If an alchemist refuses to admit it, he will only be criticized by other alchemists.
Nine months.
Some contestants finally succeeded in refining the elixir, and the fragrance of the elixir wafted out.
"Finally, someone succeeded. He didn't choose to add more medicinal materials, but he succeeded in refining the residual pill. It's pretty good."
The contestant did not keep the onlookers waiting. After putting out the fire, he opened the alchemy furnace.
Plain and dull.
On the high platform, the strong man from the sect where the contestant belongs has a somewhat gloomy face and no quality. In this session, he will probably only get a C-level at most, and the sect was a C-level in the last session. This time he wants to seek something better. further.
With the first one, there will soon be the second, third...
One year later.
Twelve alchemists successfully refined the elixir. After these twelve alchemists successfully refined it, the ones with the highest quality were good ones, only four of them were of ordinary quality.
Of course, there were also those who continued to fail during this period, and the only ones left in the entire square were the players who had added medicinal ingredients.
Everyone knows that the countdown to the third round is about to begin.
boom!
There was a thunderous sound coming from the alchemy furnace, but the player who owned the alchemy furnace did not have an annoyed look on his face. On the contrary, there was a smile on his face, which puzzled many alchemists.
This is so exciting, but I can still laugh.
But soon these alchemists knew that they were wrong. As the player opened the alchemy furnace, revealing a complete blue pill inside, these alchemists realized that the furnace was not exploding, but that the alchemy was successful.
"Since the alchemy is successful, why is there the sound of the furnace exploding?"
"That's not the sound of an explosion, that's the sound of thunder. If I guessed correctly, this pill should give birth to the power of thunder, and it should be useful to monks who practice the method of thunder and lightning."
A strong man who transformed into gods spoke, and the strong man gave his guess. Unfortunately, because his spiritual consciousness could not enter, he could only make judgments based on what he saw with his eyes.
boom!
After the contestant successfully refined the elixir, the sound of the elixir furnace exploding was heard again.
"Another thunder pill appears?"
The corner of the mouth of the powerful man who gave the previous judgment twitched: "This time it really exploded, and the alchemy energy leaked out."
"Elixir energy, where is the elixir energy? Why didn't I see it?"
"You will be able to see it when you become a fifth-grade alchemist."
The powerful man who transformed into gods sneered, and the young man who spoke immediately fell silent. He was so involved that he forgot about the strength of this senior.
Li Tao looked at his alchemy furnace with a look of disbelief on his face. He was obviously very sensitive when refining it this time, so why did the furnace explode in the end?
"The furnace exploded. This time Qihuomen is standing still."
In the stands of Danshan Sect, Elder Zhao gloated.
"It's impossible to stand still." Qin Libang said with a smile: "The last Seven Fire Sect was second in Class B. There are still two places to fall back. It can also be third in Class B or fourth in Class B."
This time, Qihuomen put all its expectations on Li Tao. The other player performed mediocrely and was at the bottom without looking at it. Li Tao got the lowest rank in the first round. Although he got the third rank in the second round, this was not the case. The third round was a blast again, not much better than another disciple's result.
The newcomer competition is a sect ranking based on the best of the two disciples of each sect. However, Li Tao and another disciple of Qihuo Sect have poor results. In other sects, one with poorer results is removed. Disciples, choose those with better grades to participate in the rankings. The Seven Fire Sect is extremely likely to be at the bottom this time.
Among the disciples of the Qihuo Sect, only the Danshan Sect and the Qihuo Sect would pay attention. Others would pay more attention to the four genius disciples of Lu Sizhong.
"It's done, Zhang Ji's alchemy is over."
Zhang Ji, who is also a genius, was the first to complete the alchemy. He opened the alchemy furnace and the luster circulated on the elixir for several times before dissipating.
“Good quality.”
"Currently, the only supplementary medicinal material that has been successfully refined and is of high quality is Zhang Ji."
"I just don't know what kind of elixir this elixir is."
There are tens of thousands of types of elixirs in the entire elixir domain, but there are still only a handful of elixirs that can be recognized at a glance by their appearance. Most elixirs only have a few colors, and it is difficult to judge the type of elixir by looking at it with the naked eye.
The elixir like Zhang Ji's is light green, and there are thousands of light green elixirs recorded in the entire elixir domain.
But soon, Wan Jiren satisfied everyone's questions.
"The effect of this pill is similar to that of the Nine Yang Pill. It is considered a good quality Nine Yang Pill."
After hearing Wan Jiren's words, many alchemists had expressions of emotion on their faces.
Jiuyang Pill is considered a high-grade elixir among the fifth-grade elixirs, and Zhang Ji can refine a good one, which is already very powerful.
There are tens of thousands of elixirs in the elixir realm, and these tens of thousands refer to elixirs that are recognized by everyone as stable and cost-minimized.
If we were to count the number of elixirs that had ever appeared, there would be almost a million types.
The so-called stability means that the success rate of refining according to this elixir recipe is very high.
As for cost minimization, it means that the value of the medicinal materials required to refine the elixir is the least.
Take the elixir refined by Zhang Ji as an example. Its efficacy is slightly worse than that of Jiuyang Dan, and the cost of medicinal materials is higher than that of Jiuyang Dan, so it cannot be recognized.
"Is it a good quality Nine Yang Pill?"
Zhang Ji whispered in his heart, but there was a look of regret in his eyes. He didn't know the specific function of this elixir, because he couldn't guarantee whether his conclusion about Can Dan was completely correct.
If it were in previous competitions, the good-quality Jiuyang Pill would definitely win the first place in Class A, not to mention that it was successfully refined on the basis of the Canned Pill.
But this time is different. There is no way that the good-quality Jiuyang Pill will be ranked first in the first class.
With Zhang Ji's success, the next Zhang Hanqing also successfully refined the elixir, but his elixir was a little worse than the Jiuyang elixir.
Zhang Hanqing was followed by Tong Shouxian.
A strange fragrance emanated from Tong Xian's alchemy furnace, and all the players in the square were instantly attracted to their attention.
The elixir has a strange fragrance and must be of the highest quality.
Tong Shou first refined the top-grade elixir!
Although people outside the square could not smell the fragrance of the pills, they could see the expressions and reactions of the players. When they saw Zhang Ji and Zhang Hanqing looking at Tong Shouxian's pill furnace with ugly expressions, they knew that the quality of the pills in Tong Shouxian's pill furnace was absolutely high. higher.
Top quality?
The eyes of many alchemists, including those strong men in the stands, became fiery.
In the newcomer competition, the probability of high-grade elixirs appearing is very low.
Tong Shouxian also had a confident smile on his face. He was very confident in his pot of pills.
So what if you, Chu Ning, discover a new elixir that none of your predecessors have deduced? In the end, in this round, whose elixir is more precious will be compared.
Thinking of this, Tong Shouxian looked at Chu Ning.
But as soon as his eyes glanced at Chu Ning, other players around him exclaimed. Tong Shouxian instantly turned his eyes to the direction of Lu Sizhong. When he saw a beam of light shooting out from the top of Lu Sizhong's alchemy furnace, his pupils It shrank momentarily.
At the same time, the clouds and fog surrounding Chu Ning dissipated at this moment.
Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong completed the elixir refining almost at the same time.
