The elimination match soon entered the fifth round. The number of alchemists remaining on the stage was decreasing. At this point, cultivation and alchemy skills were equally important. Even if the alchemy skills were superb, it would be very difficult for a cultivator in the early stage of fusion to refine a third-grade high-level pill. Now
, all the remaining alchemists on the stage were alchemists with fusion cultivation, that is, all third-grade alchemists. This alchemy competition was destined to belong to them. The
atmosphere on the scene was getting more and more tense. The audience knew that the competition had entered a critical moment.
Many people still focused their attention on Gu Yao because his previous performance was too eye-catching. Not only was his pill refining speed fast, but the number of top-grade pills he produced was also far ahead of other alchemists.
In addition, there is another important factor, that is, Gu Yao's current cultivation is in the middle stage of the fusion. He may be able to refine the third-grade high-level pill, but what about going higher? Can he hold on to the end?
This round of explosions continued to sound, and one after another, the alchemists who cultivated in the early stage of the fusion fell at this threshold. Originally, this third-grade high-level pill was beyond their alchemy level. Even if the level of the Lingzhou alchemists was superb, there was a limit.
Soon, some of the cultivators in the middle stage of the fusion also joined the explosion. Not all Lingzhou alchemists had an alchemy level that exceeded their own spiritual power cultivation. Only the outstanding ones could do it.
The disciples of Guiyuan Pavilion were also extremely nervous. The previous disciple of the pavilion master persisted until the third round and then stepped down. As for the contestants on the stage, they were more supportive of Gu Yao, the alchemist from another state, and hoped that he could persist until the end.
"Don't worry, Master Gu Dan is stable. Just look at his Taoist couple and the sword cultivators from Beizhou.
Everyone looked over and saw that the sword cultivators were still interested in talking and laughing. Although Chi Changye kept his eyes on Gu Yao on the stage, he didn't look nervous or worried. It was impossible for them not to care about Gu Yao. So there was only one result, that is, they had great confidence in Gu Yao.
With the sound of the furnace blasting, Gu Yao's first batch of pills came out again, still maintaining the leading speed, and so far, his pill success rate is 100%, and there has been no failure to make pills.
"Hurry up and take a look. How many top-grade pills are there this time?"
"It's out, it's out, wow, there are a total of five top-grade pills, and the remaining four are also top-grade pills! Master Gu Dan is so amazing!"
"What do you think of Master Gu Dan's alchemy skills now? Is it advanced third-grade or top-grade
?"
"Needless to say, it has definitely reached the top-grade. In the next round, Master Gu Dan will surely be able to produce more pills."
"It's a pity that Master Gu Dan's cultivation is still a little weak. If his cultivation is a little stronger, Master Gu Dan will definitely step into the ranks of second-grade alchemists."
"Then it can only be said that Master Gu Dan was born a little late. Otherwise, in terms of bone age, Master Gu Dan is considered young among these third-grade alchemists on the stage. "
Gu Yao put the pills away and placed them on the platform. A staff member would collect them for evaluation later. He glanced at Chi Changye and the others below the stage, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. The next round would be very critical. He had already seen that the highest level of the alchemists on the stage was at the late stage of fusion. No matter how high their alchemy skills were, they could only barely step into the ranks of second-grade alchemists, so he didn't have to worry too much. After
this round, he had actually obtained the qualification to enter the Danxian Mansion.
Those years in Beizhou were not in vain. While visiting various sword sects, he also came into contact with a large amount of materials for third-grade pills, which was of great benefit to him in consolidating his level as a third-grade alchemist. At that time, in addition to refining pills, he also digested the collections in the Dan Pavilion, various third-grade pill recipes. It had been engraved in his mind for a long time.
Xiang Yidan failed in the first furnace, but this was a very normal situation for an alchemist. Even Gu Yao would occasionally fail. Which alchemist dared to guarantee that he had never ruined a furnace of pills?
Ji Baize failed in two furnaces in a row. Elder Qin and others on the rostrum sighed. Ji Baize was indeed greatly affected. , Gu Yao's performance obviously brought him a lot of pressure. The more he wanted to defeat Gu Yao, the more he lost his composure.
The Tianluo Sect's alchemists were all worried about Ji Baize. They also looked down on Gu Yao the most at first, thinking that this man was flattering, but they didn't expect Gu Yao to force Ji Baize to this point. If they were on the stage, how could they not be affected?
"Didn't you find that some of this man's techniques are actually very similar to our Lingzhou alchemists? Where did he come from and who is his master?"
"Some people say that it is the alchemist Xu who defeated Chen Xing of Lingluo Tower in Fengzhou last time. It's a pity that the alchemist Xu has disappeared since Anzhou. "
If his master is really from Lingzhou, doesn't that mean that all the alchemy techniques in the world originated from Lingzhou?
" "Let's wait and see the next round. I don't believe he can still refine these top-grade pills. Senior Brother Ji will also adjust his condition.
Ji Baize closed his eyes and adjusted his condition before he started refining the pills again, because he couldn't afford to fail. If he failed again in this furnace, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Danxian Mansion. How could he accept that?
Perhaps it was with this mentality of risking his life that Ji Baize finally seized the last chance. The elders on the stage were also sweating. Compared with other disciples, Ji Baize was a little younger and his mentality was easily affected.
This time... Ji Bai Ze no longer pursued the best pills to show off his pill making skills. He still qualified by producing middle-grade pills. In the end, Ji Bai Ze got a top-grade pill, and the rest were middle-grade and low-grade pills. Although he was not very satisfied because it was not his best result, he finally passed the test.
He did not look at Gu Yao again, nor did he want to pay attention to Gu Yao's results. He only saw Gu Yao staying steadily on the stage and knew that he had also entered the next round.
When this round ended, there were only a few contestants left on the stage, and the number of eliminations in this round was second only to the first round.
"There are only thirty people left on the stage. It's terrible. "From tens of thousands of people eliminated to the current double digits, it can be seen how fierce and cruel the competition is.
" "Master Gu is the only alchemist left from other states. The contrast is equally tragic. Fortunately, Gu Yao is still there to support us, otherwise the alchemists from other states would have lost all their face. "
Some people couldn't help but cover their eyes, they couldn't bear to look directly. The alchemists from other states were indeed scum compared to the alchemists from Lingzhou, but most of the alchemists from Lingzhou were no better than scum in front of Gu Yao.
Elder Qin announced: "In the sixth round, we will refine the top-grade elixir of the third grade, which is also the most difficult among the three-grade elixir. The names of the elixir can be seen on the jade disk. This time, as long as the contestants present refine one of the elixirs, the quality of the elixir is not limited.
The audience breathed a sigh of relief. If they asked for a medium-grade elixir this time, most of the contestants on the stage would snort. They were getting closer and closer to their limits. Every small grade increase was tantamount to challenging the limit. The most important thing was that there were only three chances on the stage, which meant that the success rate of refining the elixir must reach more than one-third.
Gu Yao glanced at the names of the elixirs on the jade disk. The recipe and refining steps of each elixir appeared clearly in his mind. In the end, he chose the one that he was most confident of. He pressed the button and read out the name:
"Evil-Breaking Pill".
Immediately, a staff member brought three sets of materials. Even if he couldn't hear his voice, he could infer what kind of pill he was refining from the materials he brought. Many people gasped. The Evil-Breaking Pill was a kind of pill that helped cultivators to suddenly reach the Mahayana stage from the Great Success of the Combination. If Gu Yao could refine it successfully, his value would immediately rise by several levels.
There were tens of thousands of cultivators in the spiritual world, but it was a very good ratio for one Mahayana cultivator to emerge among a hundred Great Success cultivators. Any pill that could help cultivators in the Combination break through to the Mahayana stage was a rare thing, and would often be snatched up by cultivators in the Combination. The alchemist who could refine this kind of pill would be even more popular.
If Gu Yao could refine it now, then when his cultivation level rose a little, would he also be able to refine a top-quality pill? Many cultivators saw hope. Gu Yao might not have to wait until he broke through to the Mahayana stage before he could refine a top-grade breakthrough elixir.
Everyone looked at him with heated eyes.
This time, everyone was much more cautious when deciding on the type of elixir. Even the cultivators in the late stage of fusion did the same. They chose the elixir that they usually refined the most. When they started to refine the elixir, they replayed the whole process in their minds before starting to refine the elixir carefully.
Gu Yao was also much more cautious. He no longer put all the materials into the elixir furnace and quenched them together as before. Instead, he proceeded step by step. He first extracted the medicinal liquid separately, quenched it repeatedly to purify it, and removed impurities.
For him, it was quite difficult to refine this kind of elixir across two small stages, but at this moment, the advantages of the Qingming Stone Platform became more and more apparent, greatly reducing the burden on his soul and spiritual power during the elixir refining process, and he became more and more relaxed.
Laymen were just watching the excitement, while experts, especially the second-grade alchemists present, could really see the level of these alchemists at this moment, because the elixir required in this round exceeded their own spiritual power cultivation, and the requirements for them became higher and higher.
Gu Yao was also one of their key focus objects. Originally, including Elder Qin and others, they all thought that Gu Yao's reaching the last round was a good result, but they didn't expect that this young alchemist would bring them more than that. I'm afraid he will also pass this round.
"Exceeding two small levels, what does this mean?" The disciples of Guiyuan Pavilion said with amazement and admiration. If it were them, they would be in a mess and the three sets of materials would be in a state of panic. But looking at Gu Yao now, although he slowed down, he was not panicked at all.
"What is impossible for others may not be possible for Gu Danshi," some disciples joined the ranks of brain-dead fans, and had more confidence than Gu Yao himself, "Just watch!"
