After the last competition, Song Chen became famous overnight.
Everyone in the college knew about Song Chen.
Because the eight elders of the Pill Academy shout and yell every day at the Weapon Refining Peak.
They wanted the Weapon Refining Peak to release the person so that Song Chen could switch to alchemy.
The elders of Dean Dan made a fuss for a long time until the principal found out.
...
Time flies by.
The competition in Danfeng is still ongoing.
In the third round of competition, only one hundred people remained in the arena.
In the fourth round of competition, only sixty people remained in the arena.
Seven days later, Song Chen participated in the final of the Dan Academy competition.
Only three Danxiu remained in the arena.
They are Song Chen, Wang Sanjing, and Ren He.
These three will represent the Pill Academy in the Immortal Realm Grand Competition.
But a ranking still needs to be determined among them.
The college is going to take advantage of this opportunity one last time.
"In the final round, there is no limit to the number of herbs used to refine the Spirit-Replenishing Pill."
Ordinary pills are worth 1 point.
Medium-grade pills are worth 2 points.
High-grade elixirs are worth 3 points.
The record of top-grade elixirs is 4 points.
One day later, based on the ranking of the participants' points, the winner will be determined, and the competition will begin!
As Elder Danfeng finished speaking.
The three quickly selected herbs and began refining elixirs.
Outside the stadium.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.
The Golden Core cultivators clicked their tongues, thinking that the academy was really too ruthless.
The Spirit Replenishing Pill is a fast-acting elixir that replenishes spiritual energy and is a best-selling product.
Now, in the final round of refining the Spirit-Replenishing Pill, the top three are being treated like donkeys!
However, everyone got what they needed.
The academy provides spiritual herbs, but elixirs are needed.
Students need reputation and college support to contribute during competitions.
Time passed little by little.
The monks were very good at staying up all night, and it was common for them not to sleep at all.
As the sky changes from bright to dark, and then brightens again.
The monks stared wide-eyed at the center of the arena.
Who is by Song Chen's side?
Is that a small mountain made of elixirs?
Why are half of the pills golden?
And the number is still increasing!
Song Chen refined pills without stopping all day.
When his spiritual energy was depleted from alchemy, he ate a handful of spirit-replenishing pills.
Then a new batch of top-grade Spirit-Replenishing Pills with pill patterns appeared in the alchemy furnace.
The white jade box issued by the academy has already been filled by Song Chen.
He simply dumped the excess pills on the ground.
Gradually, a small mountain was built up.
Song Chen's actions caused all the alchemists to gasp for breath.
Seeing Song Chen's state, Elder Dan felt that he could continue to harass the Weapon Refining Peak for another hundred years.
They won't give up on this promising talent!
"The match is over!"
With a command from Elder Dan.
All three stopped fighting at the same time.
The elder scanned the area with his divine sense and instantly determined the quantity.
"Third place, Ren He, refined 248 Spirit-Replenishing Pills, with a score of 600 points."
"Second place, Wang Sanjing, refined 342 Spirit Replenishing Pills. Score: 800 points."
Everyone held their breath, eager to see just how many pills Song Chen had on his Pill Mountain.
"First place, Song Chen, refined 18,530 Spirit Replenishing Pills!"
One!
Everyone on the field gasped in shock.
Elder Dan smiled and said, "More than half of the pills refined by Song Chen are top-grade spirit-replenishing pills. He has a total of 60,000 points."
Everyone looked at the arena in shock.
Song Chen wore a faint smile, seemingly unaware that he had done anything earth-shattering.
"Danfeng announces that five months from now, the top three finishers in the Dan Academy competition will travel with the academy to Zhuoyangchuan to participate in the Immortal Realm Grand Competition!"
The competition at the Dan Academy has come to an end.
The onlookers, still feeling unsatisfied, left the arena.
This year's competition at the Dan Academy was absolutely fantastic.
Song Chen was far ahead of the pack, leaving everyone else in the dust.
It garnered everyone's attention.
The cultivators whispered among themselves, all discussing Song Chen.
"Sigh, suddenly I feel like the upcoming matches are going to be boring."
"Why?"
"The games are so boring without Song Chen."
"Hehe, then you're going to have a blast. Song Chen is also participating in the Talisman Cultivation Competition a week from now."
"Huh? Really?"
"You're new here, right? Song Chen, he signed up for the Five Peaks competition, and he'll continue competing."
"Really? Then I'll come again next week!"
**
An unnamed mountain peak.
Inside the cave.
Song Chen sat cross-legged, consuming spirit-replenishing pills and drinking spirit stone honey to quickly replenish his spiritual energy.
He had expended too much energy in the previous competition.
I need to rest for three days to relieve the pain in my meridians.
But he didn't show it; he didn't want Zhao Ziyi to worry.
Several hours later.
Zhao Ziyi strode in from outside the cave.
"Song Chen! I got my prize money! I bet 10 gold coins, the odds were 3, and I made 30 gold coins!"
Zhao Ziyi sat next to Song Chen.
His excitement was palpable.
Song Chen chuckled and patted his head, "Keep it up! When we get to the Immortal Realm Grand Competition, we'll make a killing off him!"
"Yes! Definitely!"
Song Chen suppressed his discomfort and smiled as he instructed:
"I want to be in better shape to face the assessment at the Talisman Academy, so I will be going into seclusion for a few days. Please be careful when you go out."
Zhao Ziyi nodded, "Don't worry about your cultivation, I'll take care of everything else."
Zhao Ziyi had long since stopped cultivating because he couldn't reach the bottleneck of the Golden Core stage.
He simply took on the task of tending the fields.
Now I go for a walk in the fields every day.
In the past six months, Zhao Ziyi has also taken Xiao Shi out to collect honey and wander around the college.
When Zhao Ziyi heard that Song Chen was going into seclusion for a few days, he didn't notice anything unusual.
"Song Chen, I'm going to the library now. I'm thinking of learning to cook, so I can make you some Blue Star cuisine later."
After Zhao Ziyi finished speaking, he left the cave again.
Once Zhao Ziyi was out of sight, Song Chen clutched his dantian, lay down on the ground, and gasped for breath.
He hadn't expected that overdrawing his spiritual energy would have such a terrible result.
Song Chen opened the white jade bottle and ate another bottle of spirit stone honey.
He lay motionless in the cave.
The spiritual energy automatically repaired his meridians.
He didn't need to push himself so hard. In the competition, he only needed to perform slightly better than the other two to get first place.
But what Song Chen wanted was not first place.
What he wanted was the title of genius.
Only by performing better than others.
It can leave everyone far behind.
Only then could he attract the attention of high-level cultivators.
High-level cultivators are not Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but Deity Transformation stage cultivators.
Song Chen needs a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who can save Zhao Ziyi for him during the Immortal Realm Assembly.
It also needs to be able to withstand a strike from heavenly lightning.
Exhaling, Song Chen felt his dantian empty again.
Repairing meridians requires too much spiritual energy.
With trembling hands, he drank another bottle of spirit stone honey.
Although he performed impressively in the Danfeng Grand Competition, he still did not encounter any Nascent Soul cultivators.
Perhaps his reputation isn't big enough, or his abilities aren't strong enough.
He will give it his all in the upcoming matches.
Their performance was even more eye-catching.
**
Three days later.
Song Chen stood up and stretched his stiff body.
Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, but the meridians that had been repaired by a large amount of spirit stone honey were now wider than before.
The spiritual energy reserves in Song Chen's dantian are now three layers higher than before.
Seeing that his meridians had been repaired so well, Song Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He had no worries about the next few games.
