Level seven, Yang Lan'er needs time. Many of the materials she collected are only available in one copy, so she must increase the success rate.

Although Yang Lan'er cannot take pills, there are too many good things in the space that can restore her spiritual power. So she doesn't have to worry too much about maintaining her spiritual power.

It would be great if she could break through to the Nascent Soul stage directly. She wouldn't have to worry about this at all. She could completely skip levels and refine seventh-level elixirs, and she wouldn't even have to worry too much about the failure rate.

But she had finally secluded herself in space for N years and reached the late Jindan stage. If she wanted to break through to the Yuanying stage, it would not be achieved by simple seclusion.

To outsiders, it seemed too scary that she went from the early Jindan stage to the late Jindan stage in less than a year, not to mention going directly to the Yuanying stage.

Because Qin Muyan was so powerful, the Xiaoyao Bamboo was obtained in this way. Yang Lan'er didn't want to stay in the Medicine King Palace for long. Once she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, she would definitely be valued by the sect's top leaders. How could it be that not many people knew who she was like now?

"If you want to seek a breakthrough, why not take part in the Four Arts Competition! If you retreat alone, you won't be in the competitive atmosphere and won't be able to make a breakthrough." Qin Muyan suggested after knowing Yang Lan'er's situation.

He could see that after getting the Xiaoyao Bamboo, Yang Lan'er no longer had the heart to participate in the competition, but this scene was indeed very challenging.

"Is that so? That's quite true. The Cang Yan Continent is so huge, and there are so many geniuses. I also thought at the beginning that it would not be easy to get first place." Yang Lan'er raised her eyebrows and focused her mind on this again.

This time, it’s not for the first prize, but for the opportunity to seek a breakthrough.

Qin Muyan nodded: "Don't worry, this kind of thing can't be rushed."

Yang Lan'er nodded, and her slightly restless heart slowly calmed down. For the time being, she would take part in the competition seriously!

"Wait a moment." Qin Muyan disappeared after he said that. Before Yang Lan'er finished her daze, he reappeared with a jade box with a restriction in his hand.

Sitting next to Yang Lan'er, Qin Muyan handed her the box and said, "You can't use your Chaos Fire in the competition. In the space, you should first subdue the Purple Charm Phoenix Fire, so that it will be useful when the time comes."

"Huh? Purple Charm Wind and Fire? Isn't that the one ranked seventh on the Strange Fire List?" Yang Lan'er was shocked. Is the ranking in the single digits?

"Hmm!" Qin Muyan frowned: "Ranked seventh, not bad."

Just can? Yang Lan'er looked at Qin Muyan strangely. This request was indeed different: "Do you know that in the current cultivation world, even the top 1,000 have not appeared? Ranked seventh, I'm afraid that if I use it, I will be hunted down directly!"

Qin Muyan, who was a little out of touch with the times, finally realized that things were different now: "That's true. Those at the top of the Strange Fire List seem to be in the upper two realms. Moreover, many types of Strange Fire have actually disappeared... Uh, it's a bit eye-catching. You should subdue it first as a backup. I'll have someone find you a lower-ranked one to cover you."

Yang Lan'er was still lamenting that it was easier to get things done with someone these days, but when she saw the strange fire that Qin Muyan had found for her as a cover, she was completely speechless.

"The 799th Sacred Heart Blue Flame?" Yang Lan'er observed it carefully and finally recognized it. Fortunately, she specifically went to learn about the Strange Fire List, otherwise, she would have been ignorant again.

However, it is still a strange fire ranked within one thousand. People would never imagine that this is just a disguise?

"Madam, please feel free to use it. As far as we know, the highest level of those who possess strange fire this time is less than 500, so it won't be very eye-catching." The man in red said with a smile.

In fact, there are reserves of strange fire in Kongchen Palace. Whenever they are found, they are brought back to the palace for collection.

If the master needs it, then of course he would pick a good one. Who knows, the master doesn't want a good one...

Hong Yi and the others were a little confused. Since the Lord's wife needed a different fire to participate in the alchemist competition, why didn't she want a better one? Could it be that she was dissatisfied with the different fire ranking being too high? Upon hearing this, Yang Lan'er readily agreed. In fact, although this Sacred Heart Blue Fire was not ranked high, it had a very unique function.

This is because this strange fire has miraculous effects on spiritual consciousness. If used to make pills, the pills will have some effects that are useful to spiritual consciousness. Although not too much, it is better than nothing.

If it is a pill that is refined itself and targets spiritual consciousness, then it would be even more perfect. Directly improving the efficacy is the lightest, and it may even cause a good mutation effect.

Considering this point alone, the Sacred Heart Blue Fire is of great importance in alchemy. Even the better-ranked strange fires, even those in the top 100, may not be as effective.

It has to be said that when Qin Muyan asked for a ranking, the people of Kongchen Palace also put some thought into it. They are really low-key.

The reason why the Sacred Heart Blue Flame is ranked so low is that it is not of much help in battle. As long as the enemy does not send out spiritual sense, or consciously shields it, the damage to the cultivator is too small, and there are many ways to resist and deal with it at every minute.

Therefore, this is actually a strange fire that is not suitable for combat, otherwise it would not be ranked so low.

Each person can absorb more than one kind of strange fire. If there are more mixed strange fires, the overall level may be improved, and then a new variety of strange fire will be formed.

Moreover, there was no pressure in using them separately on a daily basis, so Yang Lan'er took the opportunity to absorb and fuse the Sacred Heart Blue Fire.

In front of the Chaos Fire, all other strange fires had no intention of resisting. Although Yang Lan'er's cultivation was not particularly high, it was still very easy and smooth for her to subdue the strange fires.

When it comes to fighting, Yang Lan'er has other strange fires to assist her. The Sacred Heart Blue Fire is really suitable for her. What was originally thought to be a camouflage strange fire is actually really useful to her.

When Yang Lan'er finished fusing the Sacred Heart Blue Fire, the Four Arts Competition would begin the next day. The timing was perfect.

After a good night's rest, Yang Lan'er was ready to go to the competition in high spirits. When she passed by the yard next door, she looked inside, but there was no movement.

"Who lives in there?" Qin Muyan noticed Yang Lan'er's attention and asked casually.

"Yuan Lianxiao, he also came in disguise. Hey, didn't I tell you about him?" Yang Lan'er thought she had already told Qin Muyan.

"No." Qin Muyan narrowed his eyes.

Yang Lan'er immediately explained the whole story: "I wonder if Hao Xinqing will come to the Medicine King Palace and find a chance to get Sasha's things back."

In fact, this is not mentioned in the novel. According to normal development, the battle in the demon city has not yet ended. I don't know if the four arts competition was postponed or held on time. Anyway, Hao Xinqing did not participate.

Moreover, in the plot, after the battle in the demon city, Hao Xinqing has been facing the pursuit of the demon king, so naturally she has no time to participate in the competition, and it is not mentioned at all in the story.
