Chapter 424 This servant must not die in vain
Ancient alchemy?
If Lu Fan knew that this envoy from the upper world in the ancient warship had such thoughts, he would probably laugh out loud.
The upgraded "Alchemy Notes" is indeed a higher-level alchemy technique, but the Alchemy Notes records more of the experience and understanding of alchemy. As for the skills, they still need to be explored through repeated failures.
Because at the beginning, Lu Fan just threw a pot to Ni Yu, which made Ni Yu go further and further on the road of using the black pot to make pills, and now he can't stop at all.
Ni Yu had always used a black pot when refining the elixir. Through repeated failures and blowups, she learned the black pot alchemy technique that best suited her.
It is definitely not the ancient alchemy technique. We can only say that this is the alchemy technique created by Ni Yu himself.
Raising his hand and touching his ear, Lu Fan smiled gently.
Over the years, Ni Yu had been doing a lot of things on the island in the middle of the lake, and Lu Fan often heard the clanging sound of Ni Yu using the pot to make elixirs.
Lu Fan was not used to it at first, but later, gradually, he got used to the sound of the black pot hitting the ground.
It did bring some excitement and bustle to the quiet island in the middle of the lake.
And now, this girl went to participate in the alchemy competition and brought trouble to other people. Lu Fan felt a little gloating in his heart.
Take a sip of the plum wine from the bronze cup.
Lu Fan continued to watch the alchemy competition.
…
It has been smashed and it has been shaken.
Ni Yu began the third step of alchemy, brewing.
The black pot was suspended in front of her. In the black pot, densely packed pills were constantly hitting the wall of the black pot like raindrops, and crisp sounds continued to be heard.
Finally, the square became quiet, and many alchemists with red eyes calmed down.
The golden sand keeps flowing down, like the passing time, which cannot be taken back.
The medicine refining in the square was gradually coming to an end.
Of the many contestants who participated in the competition, most were eliminated, including the alchemists who passed the preliminaries from many high-level martial arts worlds.
Everyone stared at the remaining alchemists in the square.
The sand in the hourglass is almost running out. Once the time is up, those who have not yet successfully refined the elixir will also be judged as failures and deprived of their Tao essence.
It seemed that they all sensed that time was almost running out.
Therefore, many alchemists sped up their progress.
However, accelerating progress also means that mistakes are more likely to occur.
There are more and more failures. After all, the sixth-grade elixir is not an ordinary elixir and is not as easy to refine as imagined.
Even if there are many alchemists who are able to refine sixth-grade pills, they still have to spend a long time and experience repeated failures before they can succeed.
This type of alchemy competition really tests one's condition and mentality.
The mentality of the alchemists present was messed up by the fat girl who was making pills with the pot, so the failure rate became higher and higher.
Outside the square, a dense array of eyes were cast upon it.
There were worried eyes from the Five Phoenix practitioners, mocking eyes from many powerful people in the high martial arts world, and there were also alchemists who had completed refining the pills and were watching with a normal mind.
Most people's eyes were fixed on the chubby girl in the middle of the field, who had her eyes closed and was using her spiritual consciousness to brew the elixir in the black pot.
The only alchemist born in the world of high martial arts in the Void Sky.
No matter how brilliantly this girl performed before, if she couldn't make the elixir within the specified time, it would still be a failure.
In the hourglass, a handful of grains of sand fall quietly.
Suddenly.
The fat girl opened her eyes.
Gurgle!
That was the sound of thunder coming from the girl's abdomen.
The girl's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and her spiritual consciousness was in ripples.
Then, she raised her hand, grabbed the black pot with one hand, and smashed it hard on the bluestone square.
Boom! A dull sound exploded.
"Hey!"
Ni Yu shouted and slapped the black pot with both hands.
Densely packed pills poured back like a rainstorm, continuously flying out of the black pot like flowers scattered from the sky.
Exclamations were heard inside and outside the venue.
This is truly amazing.
after all……
Such a large amount of pills was beyond the expectations of all alchemists.
The higher the quality of the elixir, the scarcer it is.
For example, for this sixth-grade Juhua Pill, it is quite good if one furnace can produce ten pills with one portion of medicinal materials.
It is rare to see a picture like Ni Yu's, where everything is densely packed with elixirs.
This is alchemy, not cooking rice! The practitioners of Wuhuang cheered one after another, very surprised.
It’s a heart-pounding game.
The sand in the hourglass was almost completely gone.
At this final juncture, it was finally completed.
Qi Liujia breathed a sigh of relief, and the new emperor Tan Tai He, who was standing on the high platform and looking at the square, couldn't help but wave his fist.
Outside the sky, in the void, there was a sigh of regret.
A figure flashed by.
The servants from the upper realm appeared beside Ni Yu.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and his noble robe was spotless.
He stretched out a hand and pinched a pill.
"The sixth-grade pill, the Juhua Pill, can only be said to be of medium to low quality, but at least it is a finished pill."
The servant said.
As soon as he finished speaking, it meant that Ni Yu advanced to the second round.
The servant glanced at Ni Yu, waiting for him to cheer.
However……
His eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly.
But he found that Ni Yu grabbed a handful of Juhua Dan and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it continuously, like a beggar who had been hungry for three days and three nights.
The alchemists around were also stunned.
This girl produced such a large pot of pills, is it just to fill her stomach? And... this is a sixth-grade pill, which contains extremely terrifying energy. Ordinary people will easily have problems if they eat one pill, but this girl actually stuffed a bunch of them?
Aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating this? The servant glanced at Ni Yu, frowned slightly in disgust, and the next moment he flashed out and headed towards the failed alchemists around him.
He no longer paid attention to Ni Yu who was taking the pill.
The pill has been refined, and as for how to deal with it, it's up to her.
Wuhuang's alchemist advanced to the second round of the alchemy competition, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, no one had ever thought that a girl, with a black pot on her shoulder, would actually make it to the second round.
Although the alchemy competition stipulates that the strength of alchemists must be great or below, but...
Even many alchemists at the powerful level failed and fell in the first round.
"Just luck."
"Didn't I hear from the masters in the upper realm that the pills refined by this girl are of only average to lower quality, and she just passed by luck."
"Humph! This is so disgraceful. She has brought shame to the alchemists. She will definitely be eliminated in the second round."
Each alchemist had a sullen face, and many of the eliminated alchemists were extremely angry.
Ni Yu returned to Qi Liujia.
Li San Sui smiled gently at Ni Yu.
Alu touched his head and smiled innocently: "Great!"
Ni Yu smacked his lips and said, "The pill is good, but it lacks a little sweetness."
Everyone was speechless.
"Have a good rest. The second round will be even more difficult. If I am not mistaken, there should be an opponent's alchemy competition in the second round."
"The victorious party can deprive the other party of the original Dao essence they staked, and the loser... will be deprived of it."
Qi Liujia said seriously.
He looked at the empty square of the Alchemy Competition, without any relief on his face.
"So the second round is very important to Ni Yu. As long as he wins, it doesn't matter if he fails in the third round of the alchemy competition... The Dao essence gained and the Dao essence taken away from failure can offset each other."
Qi Liujia analyzed.
Ni Yu nodded solemnly, sat down cross-legged, took out a large bag of pills and started to take them.
Qi Liujia glanced at Ni Yu, a hint of doting flashing in his eyes.
Although Ni Yu followed the Master to practice alchemy, unfortunately...
How can I compare with those alchemy geniuses in Gao Yan’s high martial arts world? It’s already great to be able to pass the first round. I hope that in the second round, I won’t end up in a miserable situation.
Thinking of this, Qi Liujia raised his head and looked at Li Sansui in the distance.
Li San Sui was in a tense state and was under a lot of pressure.
Because she understood that in this formation competition, she would most likely encounter her former senior brothers.
Li Sansui knew very well why Qi Liujia ended up in such a situation, therefore, she had no choice but to defeat those senior brothers to restore Qi Liujia's dignity and face.
"Relax..."
Just when Li Sansui's body tensed up, Qi Liujia's gentle voice floated over.
Li Sansui was stunned.
“Master…”
"You just need to show your strength, don't take winning or losing too seriously."
Qi Liujia smiled.
"Besides, with your ability, you can definitely pass the first round easily."
Boom! As expected, just after Qi Liujia finished speaking.
Above the square where the formation competition was taking place, the sound of a loud bell rang out.
The sound seemed to resound throughout the Five Phoenixes.
The practitioners of the Five Phoenixes were all in high spirits, and outside the sky, warships, spirit boats, and the backs of birds of prey all had human figures floating out accompanied by loud laughter.
Swish, swish, swish! Compared to alchemists, there are also many array masters, and there are even more.
"Master, I'm leaving."
Li Sansui stood up, his Taoist robe fluttering, and said seriously.
Many formation masters landed on the formation square.
On the other side, the competition among weaponsmiths also began. Aru left and stepped onto the square of the weaponsmith competition.
…
The competition among formation masters is not as complicated as that among alchemists. Even in the first round, there is no need to construct any formation. All that needs to be done is to break the formation.
The servant will set up the illusion array prepared by the array master from the upper realm. Those who can break the array before the hourglass runs out can advance to the second round.
The rules are simple, but no one feels at ease, because no one knows whether the illusion array prepared by the array master from the upper realm is a simple illusion array.
Qi Liujia breathed a sigh of relief. He had guessed the rules of the first round. He believed that Li Sansui could easily break out of the formation.
Buzz...
The formation began to operate.
In just a moment, every formation master on the square was entangled by shackles formed by the formation patterns. Only after breaking the shackles could they break the formation.
The square was extremely quiet. This time, the practitioners from other worlds did not make any sarcastic remarks towards Wu Huang.
After all, Li San Sui and A Ru are both relatively normal contestants.
As for Ni Yu, what the hell is that?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
How could they resist mocking the fat girl who was being blamed? Qi Liujia stared at the square of the formation competition with a serious look. Even though he trusted Li San Sui very much, he was still a little nervous.
As for Aru's weapon casting competition, Qi Liujia did not pay attention to it because Gongshu Yu was paying attention.
Just as Qi Liujia was looking forward to it and staring at the square.
It seemed like a figure appeared behind him silently.
Qi Liujia's body stiffened slightly.
A face seemed to move closer to him.
Qi Liujia's old, wrinkled face tilted slightly to look at the face beside him.
It was a face as white as jade and extremely gentle.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be in good spirits."
The gentle voice was like caressing a warm bead.
This was a young man, who looked handsome and tall, and Qi Liujia's old and hunched body formed a sharp contrast with him.
far away.
Ni Yu's movements of taking the pills seemed to slow down slightly.
Because she sensed murderous intent.
That was the murderous intent emanating from Qi Liujia.
Boom! Qi Liujia's soul wave spread out, shaking the young man away.
The young man, dressed in a wanton and loose robe, appeared and stepped on the ground of the bloody battlefield.
"Old Four."
Qi Liujia looked at the young man with a cold expression.
If we were to ask who among the ten disciples Qi Liujia hated the most, perhaps... it would be the fourth one.
The owner of the "zhe" character array! He looks like a gentle gentleman, but in fact, his heart is as vicious as a poisonous snake.
The young man's hair spread out gently, and he smiled gently at Qi Liujia, "Master is still so impatient."
"Just you?"
Qi Liujia stared.
"Yes, all the other brothers and sisters were accepted as disciples by the powerful people from the upper realm, and I am the only one left..."
The young man said calmly, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
"Why... Why did Master give me the 'zhe' character formation words and not give me a better one?"
"That's why I have to participate in this boring formation competition! Only in this way can I get the recognition of the upper realm!"
The young man stared at Qi Liujia, a gleam of resentment flashing in his gentle eyes.
Qi Liujia smiled.
"There is no distinction between strong and weak in the Nine-Character Formation...it's just that your talent is rubbish."
Qi Liujia said lightly.
The ferocity on the young man's face disappeared, but he regained some of his indifference.
He turned his head and glanced at the square.
"I heard that you accepted a new junior sister? It just so happens that the appearance of the junior sister will make this boring formation competition a little more interesting."
The young man laughed, and his laughter lingered in Qi Liujia's ears like the voice of a devil.
"I will treat Junior Sister well during the competition and let her feel despair peacefully..."
The young man grinned like a poisonous snake.
The next moment, his body shook and suddenly disappeared.
Ni Yu stuffed the pill into his mouth while running over carefully. He glanced at Qi Liujia who was a little dazed and asked curiously, "Who is this guy?"
Qi Liujia closed his eyes, opened them the next moment, and regained some calmness: "Situ Gui, my fourth disciple, now works for the Yan Sixth Level Holy Land of Xueshatian."
"Situ Gui? This name is really ugly..."
Ni Yu muttered something and stopped paying attention.
A look of worry emerged in Qi Liujia's eyes.
He looked towards the square. Li San Sui was still trapped in the shackles of the formation, trying hard to break through the illusion.
However, Situ Gui had already broken through the illusion and even appeared in front of him and chatted with him for a few words.
The gap in strength between the two sides... is a bit big.
…
Benyuan Lake, the island in the middle of the lake.
Lu Fan did not continue to pay attention to this professional competition. After watching the alchemy competition in which Ni Yu participated, Lu Fan lost much interest.
Hmm? In Lu Fan's perception, it seemed that quite a few people sneaked through the bloody battlefield and descended on Wuhuang.
In response, Lu Fan smiled.
While drinking, he raised his hand, pressed it on the wheelchair armrest, and pushed it gently.
Buzz...
Silver light suddenly burst out and turned into streams of light, stretching across the sky in an instant.
Phew!
Phew!
Silver light suddenly appeared in various places of Wuhuang.
Accompanied by exploding blood flowers.
Those practitioners who sneaked into Wuhuang were all killed silently. The silver light came too fast, not to mention that it carried a strange force that they could not resist.
Boom, boom, boom! These bodies fell into the vast sea, into the mountains, and into the snow...
The blood dyed everything red.
The souls of these powerful men wanted to break free, but the light that burst out from the silver blades instantly molded their souls into statues...
It is like the soul platform in the vast ocean.
As for the physical bodies of these powerful beings, they were decomposed and transformed into pure energy that poured into the world of Wuhuang.
Outside the ancient tomb.
A figure with a hazy face and smoke emerged.
This is the servant of the messenger from above on the ancient warship.
"Tombs from ancient times..."
The servant uttered a murmur.
Suddenly.
His body tilted slightly to one side.
Boom! A silver light whizzed in, cutting the air apart, as if it was going to cut through the space.
However, this servant was not weak and narrowly avoided the sharp blade.
The silver blade slashed into the vast ocean, causing shocking waves.
The servant looked at the silver blade calmly.
"Somewhat powerful force... Is this the new high-level martial arts master?"
"The Holy Lord of this world... is truly presumptuous."
The servant said calmly.
The next moment, the robe on his body began to float, as if to give the owner of the silver blade a little shock.
However, just when the servant was about to take action.
The ancient tomb was opened.
Boom! A huge skeleton hand stretched out from the ancient tomb.
The servant's body trembled, and the pressure that suppressed him to the point that he could not move directly hit his body.
Above the sky, only cold blood mist was left, and the servant's body was actually smashed to pieces.
The soul soared into the sky and rushed towards the bloody battlefield in the sky.
However, from the ancient tomb, there was a faint sound of a piano floating out.
The servant's soul exploded directly, turned into a powerful storm, and dissipated into the void.
The door of the ancient tomb emitted a distant sound, and then slowly closed with a creaking sound.
On the island in the middle of the lake.
Lu Fan was very interested and waved his hand, and the silver blade returned quickly.
The strength of these tempters was not that strong, including the servant, they were only at the first level of the great power where the soul and spirit were united.
It seems that he was afraid of alerting the enemy.
However, the only thing that made Lu Fan feel a little regretful was that the servant's soul was shattered by the sound of the piano, which was a bit of a waste.
If it is built into a statue of the primordial spirit, it can help the Five Phoenixes give birth to another powerful being.
Ancient warship.
At the moment when the servants who entered Wuhuang to investigate died, every servant's body trembled. They felt something in their hearts, and fierceness flashed in their eyes.
In the warship, the messenger from the upper realm also seemed to laugh with interest.
Meanwhile, the first rounds of the formation competition and the weapon casting competition were both over.
Li Sansui and Alu both made it to the second round.
The servant seemed to have received the message and walked respectfully to the front of the cabin, folded his hands, placed them on his abdomen, and bowed slightly.
A voice that sounded like a smile floated out from the cabin.
"Well...make arrangements for the Five Phoenix contestants."
"This servant must not die in vain."
