Gu Yao's location was quite conspicuous, and he was in the same area as Ji Bai Ze and others, but Ji Bai Ze looked at this man and turned away in frustration.
The Alchemy Alliance wanted to make some moves to move him to an inconspicuous position, but the specific situation of Fengzhou and Anzhou was still known to the senior leaders of Lingzhou. In addition, many top-grade pills had been circulated in Beizhou from Gu Yao in recent years, and forces from other states had rushed to Beizhou just to wait for the pill sales every ten days. No matter how reluctant they were to admit it, they could not deny his level of alchemy skills.
Even if he was arranged to a remote corner, he would still stand out in the end, and people would laugh at the broad-mindedness of the Alchemy Alliance, so it was better to arrange him with the alchemists of the same level.
Not all the onlookers recognized Gu Yao's face. Seeing him in the same area with Ji Bai Ze and other proud sons of heaven, they were like a mixed-feather chicken falling into a nest of phoenixes, and they were very surprised.
"Who is this guy? What qualifications does he have to stay in that position?"
"That's right, did he run to the wrong party? Didn't the staff above rush him out?"
"Is his brain broken? He still wants to be famous, and he actually uses this method. It's not worth the loss."
"Don't say it..." Some people felt embarrassed, "This guy is Gu Yao, the ancient alchemist. After all, he is a third-grade alchemist, and he is qualified to stay in that position."
"What? He is the Gu Yao? Tsk! He might as well stay there and wait to be overshadowed by the talented alchemist from our Lingzhou. Let's see who dares to praise his alchemy after this alchemy competition!"
The voices of these people were loud enough that even Chi Changye who was sitting in the stands could hear them clearly. Tian Feirong and the fat man were very annoyed and glared at the cultivator with the loudest voice. However, there were too many people talking about Gu Yao, so they couldn't glare at him even if they wanted to. They could only say that these guys in Lingzhou were too ignorant and would only see too many things. Let's see how they are going to swallow back their words.
Lei Hu gritted his teeth: "My sword is a little restless, I want to find something to sharpen it."
In the past few years, Gu Yao has sold many top-grade pills in the shop in Yuanguang City. Moreover, every time he went to a sect, Chi Changye would exchange sword skills with other disciples, and Gu Yao would also refine a few pills at the request of the sect. The quality of those pills really opened their eyes. They are not the ones who don't cultivate alchemists, but those alchemists who personally watched the alchemy scene were so embarrassed that they almost banged their heads against the wall.
Chi Changye's cold eyes swept around those people, and then returned to Gu Yao on the stage. His eyes became gentle, and Gu Yao, who was touched, also looked up, and the two of them made eye contact.
Jiang Jingfeng, who was watching this scene, felt like he had been hit a hundred times, but he was extremely envious of the relationship between the two.
Compared to the shocking anger of the Bloody Demon Monk for Lan Yan, he preferred this kind of slow and steady relationship.
The disciples of Guiyuan Pavilion were also watching Gu Yao, thinking that some people had stood up for Huang Ruyue and her apprentice, and felt that the Pavilion Master's punishment was too much. Now, looking back, they could only say that the Pavilion Master was the Pavilion Master, and his perspective on people was not something they could compare to.
"Have you seen Junior Sister Huang?"
There were disciples of the same generation as Huang Ruyue who admired her. When they heard this, they looked embarrassed. Someone said, "Hasn't she entered Lingyun Tower? I heard that Master Cui is there too."
"Where? Junior Sister Huang can't be considered a disciple of Lingyun Tower. She is just a concubine of Gao Tian, a disciple of Lingyun Tower. It is said that Gao Tian also challenged Master Gu Yao in Fengzhou before, but he was not defeated by Master Gu Yao. They do have some fate."
What fate? Probably the bad fate of provoking the same person and losing to the same person.
There were also female disciples traveling with them, who said angrily, "She has fallen into depravity. After all, she was an inner-court disciple of Guiyuan Pavilion before. Now she has caused us to be laughed at. She is no longer a disciple of Guiyuan Pavilion, and she can only be called Young Junior Sister from now on.
The others had to shut up. The disciples with higher seniority also heard it. To be honest, they also met Cui Xin, and found that she had not made much progress in her cultivation after leaving Guiyuan Pavilion for so many years. Even the arrogance on her face has become forced. The change is really too great.
The Pavilion Master is right, they should go out more often and see the level of alchemy outside, so as not to think that they can be blindly arrogant with that little strength. The end of Huang Ruyue and her disciple was the result of being too conceited." It began. "
The alchemy competition in the main arena was very rough and simple, with a round-by-round elimination system. Those who failed to complete the elixir designated by the presiding elders had to leave.
In the first round, Elder Qin set the questions and listed a long list of spiritual herbs. The contestants had to choose from them and combine them to refine into elixirs. The fourth-grade elixir was qualified and entered the next round of elimination.
These materials were displayed one by one on the jade light screen. There was a contact button on the platform in front of each contestant. They reported the required materials and the staff would deliver them to their location.
The majority of the alchemists present were watching the jade light screen like the contestants, wondering how they should choose the materials and what kind of elixir they could refine if they were on the stage. Many of them also whispered to each other.
"Is this first round of eliminations so difficult? I feel that those materials are full of traps. If it is for refining the fifth-grade pill, it is fine. But for the fourth-grade pill, I always feel that the materials for several pill recipes are not complete. "
"If there is no difficulty, it can be called a pill art competition? What's more, it is only refining the fourth-grade pill now. It will become more and more difficult as time goes by. If you don't have some confidence and strength,
it will be embarrassing to run up. You will see that many will be eliminated in the first round. Most of the participating alchemists on the stage are third-grade alchemists. It is not difficult to refine the fourth-grade pill. However, many people still hesitated after reading these materials, and it seemed difficult to make a decision.
Gu Yao smiled after reading it. This question is indeed full of traps. It tests the alchemist's familiarity with the properties of various spiritual herbs and the most important alchemy theory in alchemy, which involves the reasonable combination and use of materials.
However, such a difficult problem was very easy for Gu Yao. In the process of developing pills, he had mastered the principles of pills and then worked on them. He was very familiar with the performance of spiritual herbs, so after a little thought, several adjusted pill recipes flashed in his mind.
Because he didn't want to hide his shortcomings in these pill techniques, he made a decision after thinking about it, to refine a fourth-grade intermediate pill, which was the highest-level pill among all the pill recipes he could list.
Gu Yao pressed the contact button on the platform and reported the materials he needed to the other end. The small compartment was wrapped in a formation, and the sound could not be transmitted to other small compartments, but his actions were exposed to the eyes of others. Seeing him throw a fake color so quickly, he didn't want to catch a dead mouse by chance.
Of course, disciples from forces like Dan Pavilion, Tianluo Sect, Lingluo Tower, and Xiannong Sect also reacted quickly and also confirmed the recipe.
When the materials were delivered, Gu Yao took out the alchemy furnace and offered the Lotus Heart Fire, and started to refine the elixir without any hesitation, unlike other alchemists who would consider the materials before starting to refine the elixir.
The second-grade alchemists on the stand were all engaged in the discussion, and the third- and fourth-grade alchemists who came with them were also not idle.
"Master, how many pill recipes can be made with these materials? And are there really no problems with these materials?"
Master Wen was watching the contestants on the stage. When the materials that Gu Yao wanted were delivered to him, he took a glance at them with surprise in his eyes. These materials were not so easy to use in his hands. This alchemist's insights into alchemy were not necessarily inferior to those of them, the second-grade alchemists. He was really amazing.
After hearing the disciple's question, he replied: "There must be at least five or six recipes for fourth-grade pills, but it is not easy to determine them. You have to consider alternative materials, and also consider whether the alternative materials will conflict with other materials. If you want to cover everything, you may have to add more than one or two materials, but several more."
"To refine an alchemy, you not only need to know the results, but also the reasons. However, this can only be changed and adjusted after you have fully understood the original recipe."
For an ordinary alchemist, it is already very good if he can refine the pill step by step according to the recipe and improve the quality of the pill as much as possible. Many alchemists blindly pursue the improvement of their level, but ignore the need to lay a solid foundation. When faced with such difficulties, they are inevitably in a mess.
On the stage, some alchemists were halfway through refining the elixir, while some hadn't even finalized the recipe. However, this competition was also timed. Seeing that time was running out, they could only grit their teeth and get the materials first, and then try slowly. After all, they had three chances.
With a "bang", someone failed.
The presiding elders were watching with great concern. Failures in this round were very common. Did they really think it was so easy to adjust the recipe? This was the most challenging part for the alchemist.
But when they saw that Gu Yao was doing well, they couldn't help but feel helpless. When they were setting the questions, they thought about whether they could stump Gu Yao. But the formula of the demon-repelling pill also showed them the ability of this alchemist. If he had come up with the formula independently, the current test would be a piece of cake for him.
But they couldn't help but have hope. Most of Gu Yao's formula was completed by others, such as Master Xu, who just put it on Gu Yao's head.
But in the current situation, maybe, he really has some ability.
From the moment the first person blew up the furnace, the sound of furnaces exploding on the stage began to ring out one after another. Fortunately, the formation could withstand the test and would not have much impact on the others and the alchemists, but it was embarrassing, especially compared to the alchemists who were still refining the pills steadily.
There was another "bang" and the audience in the stands showed surprise, because this time the one who blew up the furnace was a core disciple of Xiannongmen.
