Wu Yuan only thought that Jiang Jingfeng had hidden himself well enough for this moment of desperate counterattack. No wonder he had no worries before this, and even Gu Yao did not compromise with him at all. It turned out that everything was waiting for him here. He
had to say that he thought too much, but there were actually many people who thought the same as him. At this time, Wu Yuan wanted to take back his words and let Master Wei Dan and Master Cui Dan return to his camp. After all, the main pavilion could not go back on its word. There were more than just cultivators from Dingxuan Pavilion present. If he regretted it, it would greatly damage the reputation of Xuan Pavilion.
Wu Yuan was extremely angry, and Gao Tian had not expected such a situation to happen, but he was very concerned about his master: "Master Wu, do you think that Master will lose to an unknown alchemist, Xu Yan? I have never heard of him!"
"Okay, then I will wait!" Wu Yuan spat out word by word.
Others thought that such a sentence sounded very familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn't it the common voice when Gao Tian challenged Master Yao? At that time, most people thought that Gao Tian, an alchemist from Lingzhou, would not lose to an unknown alchemist, but the result was a slap in everyone's face, and Master Yao won with an absolute advantage.
This time... will he be slapped in the face again?
With this thought in mind, they did not dare to brag anymore. Everything would have to wait and see. Master Shen Xing... should have a chance of winning.
In the past year or so, the cultivators in Fengming City knew more or less about the combined cultivator next to Master Yao Dan, but what they knew about him was that he spent most of his time eating and drinking in the city and wandering around. Sometimes, the people next to Jiang Jingfeng even accompanied him to the amusement parks to let him have fun. It was hard to imagine that such a person would be a master of alchemy with superb alchemy skills.
Xu Chen was very satisfied with the amazing effects he and Gu Yao had created on the stage. Gu Yao was right. This kid was interesting. He showed his white teeth and smiled brilliantly at the people below the stage. Many female cultivators could not help but chuckle.
The chief steward announced that the General Pavilion would provide a batch of spiritual herbs, and each alchemist would pick out the three required materials from these spiritual herbs to refine three furnaces of pills. Finally, the alchemy elder of the General Pavilion and the second-grade alchemist specially invited by the City Lord's Mansion would conduct a comprehensive scoring based on the performance of the three furnaces of pills refined by each alchemist. "
Gu Yao and Xu Chen had heard Jiang Jingfeng talk about this rule. There were only three sets of materials, but it didn't matter whether the pill could be made or not. So the alchemist could choose the same spiritual herbs or refine three different pills. Of course, the score of the former was definitely lower than the latter, but some alchemists would rather choose the former to ensure success. After all, not every alchemist could guarantee a 100% success rate. As soon as
the general manager announced the rules, Shen Xing was the first to move. He released his consciousness and included all the spiritual herbs in it, and the types of spiritual herbs were clear at a glance. As a third-grade alchemist who has been immersed in the art of alchemy for many years, he picked out three sets of materials in a very short time. People who know the business can see at a glance that Shen Xing picked two sets of third-grade intermediate pills and one set of third-grade advanced pills. I am afraid that the level of pills refined by the alchemists present will not exceed his.
Wu Yuan listened to the explanation of others, and the expression on his face was relieved. However, he looked at Jiang Jingfeng with a gloomy look. He was ready to eliminate Jiang Jingfeng this time, but if the man surnamed Xu really refined a third-grade pill, he might not be able to get what he wanted
. When Shen Xing came back, he cast a glance at Gu Yao and Xu Chen, then frowned slightly. Did he find the wrong person? The sudden appearance of the alchemist made Shen Xing doubt his judgment, but it was important to refine the elixir first. If he lost to his opponent in such a competition, it would be a great loss of face.
Xu Chen took Gu Yao's hand and said casually: "Let's go, let's also choose. Let's all choose the third-grade elixir, okay? "
The voice was quite loud, and the other alchemists who went to select materials almost stumbled after hearing it. They turned around to look at the two people, wondering whether Xu Chen was an alchemist or he came here deliberately to make trouble.
Although Master Yao's alchemy skills were good, he was still a fourth-grade alchemist, right?
Gu Yao suppressed his laughter and cooperated, "I'll listen to my uncle."
The other alchemists turned their heads with twitching mouths, not looking at the two idiot monks. Did they really think they were playing house?
However, many monks around Jiang Jingfeng could finally show joy. They could hold back for such a long time without revealing a single word to the outside world. How easy was it?
"What's going on? Could it be that Master Yao is already a third-grade alchemist? Did you already know it?" "
Tsk, some things just need to be known in your mind, watching the competition is more important."
There was no direct answer, but no denial either. Does this mean that he admits that Master Yao is not a fourth-grade alchemist but has already entered the ranks of third-grade alchemists
?
Rays of divine consciousness swept over from the sky, so naturally such conversations also fell into their ears. They looked at Jiang Jingfeng and Gu Yao on the stage in surprise. Is he really a third-grade alchemist?
"Elder Dan, could it be that Master Yao has been promoted to a third-grade alchemist?" Someone in the main pavilion also asked.
Elder Dan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Yao has already selected the first set of materials. I think it is exactly what is needed to refine the Heyuan Pill. I have seen the photo stone of his competition a year ago. Master Yao is a very calm alchemist.
Some people recalled the competition between Gao Tian and Master Yao a year ago. Indeed, compared with Gao Tian, Master Yao was calm throughout the competition. So, would such an alchemist mess around in such an occasion? Would he joke with his reputation?
Not very likely.
After selecting the first set of materials, Gu Yao started to select the second set. From the first spiritual herb he picked, everyone knew that he actually picked a third-grade elixir, which was the main ingredient of another third-grade primary elixir. The other spiritual herbs he picked out successively also proved everyone's speculation.
When he started with the third set of materials, many people in the audience were shocked. It turned out that Master Yao wanted to make different ones? And they were all third-grade elixirs?
All the cultivators present understood one thing, that if Gu Yao could produce one of the third-grade pills successfully this time, his reputation would rise to a higher level.
As for all three furnaces being successful? No one had thought of this possibility, wouldn't it be against the will of heaven?
While they were paying attention to Gu Yao, they were also paying attention to another dark horse, that is, Xu Yan in everyone's eyes.
In a few seconds, he picked the same one as Shen Xing.
Exactly the same! It was as if he had copied it!
Many cultivators held their chins, wondering if this guy came to the stage just to cause trouble, or did he really have the ability to deliberately compete with Shen Xing?
"Elder Dan, what do you think is going on?"
Elder Dan also showed surprise. Today's surprises were one after another: "It's hard to say. Let's see. If there is another third-grade senior alchemist, that's a good thing."
Chen Xing also saw it, and his brows were furrowed. He exchanged a subtle look with the strange monk under the stage, and then he no longer cared about Xu Chen's situation, not wanting him to disturb his mood.
After taking the materials and returning to their seats, the alchemists took out the alchemy furnace and began to refine the elixir.
The alchemy furnace that Xu Chen took out once again attracted everyone's attention: "Isn't that the top-grade treasure Tianxin Furnace? This alchemy furnace came into the world once a thousand years ago, but then disappeared. Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of Master Xu Dan."
As soon as the alchemy furnace appeared, almost no one doubted Xu Chen's identity as an alchemist. If he was not an alchemist, who would have the money to find such a top-grade alchemy furnace?
Elder Dan said in surprise again: "Yes, it is the Tianxin Furnace. The Tianxin Furnace gets its name because there is a Tianxin Fire in the furnace. The Tianxin Fire is an extremely difficult to subdue exotic fire. The perfect integration of it into the Dan Furnace is truly the masterpiece of the instrument master who refined this Dan Furnace."
"Yes, it attracted so many alchemists to fight for it at the time, but it disappeared silently in the end, and no one knew about it. No one expected it to reappear a thousand years later. It seems that this pair of nephews are of great background." There were many masters who participated in the competition at the time. It is amazing that they were able to snatch it away from under the noses of those people without revealing their identities.
Gu Yao turned around and saw Xu Chen showing a proud look. He felt a bit amused. He also knew that this was the Tianxin furnace, but for him who had the Lotus Heart Fire, the value of this furnace was not as great as his own. But he did not expect that the Tianxin furnace had such a great origin. It must be said that the master really took great pains for the senior.
Gu Yao rolled his eyes and asked him to sacrifice the Lotus Heart Fire. With the Tianxin furnace in front, his Lotus Heart Fire would not be so feared.
But when the Lotus Heart Fire came out, there was another gasp on the stage and off the stage. In response, the cultivators on Wu Yuan's side looked even uglier. How many tricks did the Jiang man hide?
Jiang Jingfeng's mouth and eyes twitched. He was a little overwhelmed by the surprises. He had to keep calm so that people would not think he was unaware and ruin the reputation of Gu Yao and Xu Chen. But in fact, he was unaware.
The faces of Wei Danshi and Cui Danshi who were also on the stage were also not good. Whether it was the Tianxin Furnace or the Lotus Heart Fire, the pressure on them was too great. If they couldn't even beat Gu Yao, a Lianxu period alchemist, how could they stay in Fengming City?
Huang Ruyue's face was pale, and her eyes were fixed on the Lotus Heart Fire that Gu Yao had sacrificed. She thought the gap was big enough, but she didn't expect it to be even bigger.
All the alchemists on the stage started to refine the elixir. There were only low whispers on and off the stage. Most of them were watching the competition with full concentration. Among the four rounds of competition, the last one was the most exciting. Gu
Yao's first furnace was the Heyuan Pill. The movements were almost the same as the one he had with Gao Tianliang a year ago. The word "steady" was fully demonstrated again. Just by watching the beginning, people felt that this furnace would definitely produce elixir.
Gao Tian knew that he had completely lost to Gu Yao. He could still find excuses for his loss last time because the opponent's spiritual power was one level higher than his. When he reached the great perfection of Lianxu, he would definitely be able to defeat the opponent. Now he found out that the opponent actually hid his strength in the competition with him. This is simply a humiliation to him.
