The red-clothed man was indeed excited, and immediately patted his chest and said, "That's no problem, let's discuss it and then take action."

They were not participating in the competition, so coming to the scene was even more boring than they had imagined.

Originally, the Kongchen Palace would not collectively participate in such matters. If anyone was interested, they would just come and watch individually.

This time, it was naturally for the Lord and his wife. It had been a long time since everyone had gathered together to have fun, so quite a few people gathered.

The man in red excitedly ran into the crowd, pulled others and started whispering, and pointed at the woman in the picture, which caused waves of exclamations and excitement.

Of course, that was purely the excitement before causing trouble.

Seeing a group of people pointing and talking and discussing heatedly, Yang Lan'er immediately noticed that Hao Xinqing in the screen sneezed several times in succession and almost destroyed the materials she was refining in her hands.

It was just almost there, but in the end they were rescued. Yang Lan'er couldn't help but feel regretful.

Haha, as expected, this person can't stand the nagging. This monk usually doesn't sneeze. If he really sneezes, it is actually a warning. It depends on how the individual interprets it.

It was obvious that Hao Xinqing took this very seriously. Her face became serious, and she stopped to close her eyes and rest for a while before she started refining the weapon again.

Seeing this, Hongyi and others tacitly moved away from the screen, stopped pointing fingers at Hao Xinqing, and just discussed quietly.

Yang Lan'er felt both amused and helpless about this act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell. She was also saying that it was not possible that Hao Xinqing did not feel anything just because they were farther away from the screen. Just now, she must have realized that someone was plotting against her, or something else, otherwise her expression would not be like that.

I have to say, some things about cultivation are really mysterious.

Since there was no one else to focus on, Yang Lan'er just kept looking at Hao Xinqing: "Her movements are quite pleasing to the eye, with a sense of flowing water. Her weapon refining skills should be quite good."

The novel records that Hao Xinqing's four arts are actually of comparable level.

To be honest, refining elixirs and weapons are better than formations and talismans.

"You call this not bad?" Qin Muyan disagreed. When it comes to refining equipment, he is the most authoritative master: "The smooth flow of water is just an act, it's enough to fool laymen."

Yang Lan'er glared: "I know I'm a complete novice at refining weapons, you don't need to remind me like that."

Qin Muyan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered Yang Lan'er's horrible refining skills, his eyes innocent: "I don't mean anything else, her method is very immature, and she took many detours, not simple at all. I guess her refining skills are not bad, it's because of that good cauldron, or in other words, she has strange fire."

In terms of skills alone, what Hao Xinqing had was not considered skills at all in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the cultivation world was about to decline, it would be just like garbage.

Yang Lan'er turned her head away proudly, but she was actually a little indignant in her heart. At least the other person could do it. She had worked so hard for so long, but nothing worked. She would never admit that she was jealous.

"It's certain that she has a strange fire." Yang Lan'er frowned and thought for a long time: "I remember that she had obtained a strange fire before entering the world of cultivation. In her family's forbidden land, it is the Qingming Dieyu Fire, which ranks fifteenth. This is also her trump card that she rarely takes out and has always kept."

"Her family? The secular world? And it ranks 15th?" Qin Muyan was shocked. How could the heavens play this way? This is unscientific.

"Well, that's what the novel says. Hao Xinqing almost reincarnated again in order to get this strange fire." Yang Lan'er said calmly. She is the heroine, but she is ranked fifteenth, which is really exaggerated. According to Qin Muyan, there may not be many people in the God Realm who possess it.

Of course, when it comes to strange fire, if a Jindan-stage cultivator possesses it and if a god possesses the same strange fire, the power they exert when using it is definitely two completely different concepts.

Strange fire will usually evolve along with the strength of its owner. Even if a low-ranking fire is in the hands of a god, it is very likely to directly counterattack and become a high-ranking fire in the hands of a cultivator in the world of cultivation. The basic levels are different!

In this first round, Hao Xinqing naturally did not know how to use strange fire, but she also successfully refined a mid-grade magic weapon and quickly finished her competition and advanced.

In the next two days, Yang Lan'er also looked at Hao Xinqing's formations and talismans. She had to say that the overall level was indeed very high.

On the fifth day, it was the second round of the alchemy competition. Yang Lan'er went to participate in the competition, taking turns to participate in each event, and it went very smoothly.

However, when Yang Lan'er came to Qin Muyan's yard again, she found that everyone else was gone. She couldn't help but be curious: "Where are they? Where did they go?"

"They can't stay here, so they're planning how to capture Hao Xinqing." Qin Muyan said calmly, "Except for practicing in seclusion, it's hard for them to sit still."

"Fortunately, they can sit still during the retreat! Otherwise, how can they practice? Speaking of which, they should choose physical cultivation or martial cultivation." Yang Lan'er said calmly, what kind of cultivators can't sit still? "I have also suggested this, but they said that they are gentlemen and can't be so violent." Qin Muyan placed a glass of spiritual juice in front of Yang Lan'er, and the variety changed every day.

It’s a pity that Yang Lan’er can’t eat high-level spiritual fruits now, otherwise she won’t be able to bear the energy.

It has been a long time since he planted such low-level spiritual fruits in his space.

"Puff!" Yang Lan'er burst out laughing. Even if she didn't understand this group of people, she could feel the warlike genes in them, okay?

The rest of the competition went smoothly, but by the fifth round, things started to get more difficult.

Generally speaking, among all the skills in the Jindan period, the most common one is the fourth level. To break through to the fifth level, one must either have extraordinary comprehension or special opportunities, etc. Anyway, one must be outstanding in the industry.

Most of those left now are Jindan cultivators, and a small number are Lingji cultivators.

After all, some Lingji monks performed exceptionally well and refined fourth-level elixirs, thus passing the fourth round and entering the fifth round.

The fifth round was the real fight, and the atmosphere began to become tense.

"Senior, there are only more than one million people entering the fifth round, and they are all competing at Lingzhi Peak." Bai Xiaoqing was a little excited. For many people, the excitement has just begun.

"Yeah." Yang Lan'er walked slowly, not in a hurry at all.

It was more than 300 million, but in the end there was only more than 1 million left. That’s really an exaggeration.

Of course, this number is also huge and a bit scary.

Among the more than one million people, 99% of them are Jindan cultivators. It can be seen that the number of Jindan cultivators is quite large, and these are just the alchemists.

However, considering the territory of Cang Yan Continent, this number is not enough. Even if it is dispersed, there is still a shortage of supply.

Oops, it's so late today after I finished coding the extra chapter. Please forgive me. It's the end of the year and I'm really busy! This is the extra chapter for the monthly ticket of 420!!!
