Chen Xing said that his apprentice had made too much of a scene, but he was actually quite proud. Although he belonged to Lingzhou Lingjue Tower, there were only two types of people who could shine and become the focus of attention in Lingzhou. One type was the first- and second-grade alchemists at the top of the pyramid, and the other type was the genius alchemists who showed their talents at a young age.
It was difficult for a third- and fourth-grade alchemist like Chen Xing to stand out in Lingzhou, because they were not indispensable. It was difficult to get such treatment in Lingzhou.
This time, in addition to having a cultivator like Wu Yuan looking for rare spiritual herbs for him, he could also enjoy such courtesy, and even Chen Xing was somewhat intoxicated by it.
As for the alchemists that his apprentice wanted to teach, Shen Xing didn't take them seriously at all. The best alchemists in the spirit world were all trained by Lingzhou, and the most talented alchemists were also sent to Lingzhou. He, Shen Xing, could not compare with those genius alchemists, but the disciples he taught could not lose to the unknown alchemists outside.
Wu Yuan was talking to Gao Tian and Jin Zhan. When he saw the movement below, he looked at them and smiled, "Young Master Jiang, you finally showed up. I really thought he would be a deserter." Alchemist Gao, Alchemist Jin, and the person next to him wearing a light golden robe were Alchemist Yao, the latest recruit of Young Master Jiang. In fact, if you ask me, in this alchemy competition, it is enough to let Alchemist Huang play. There is no need to give them such a big face. "
In order to appear more prudent, Gu Yao specially put on a light golden robe that Chi Changye had chosen for him. It was also considered as adapting to local customs. The monks here paid special attention to their dress and appearance.
Gao Tian and Jin Qiu raised their chins slightly and glanced at Gu Yao who was walking slowly below, with disdain flashing in their eyes. There were two female alchemists behind them, Cui Xin and her apprentice Huang Ruyue. Compared with decades ago, they had lost some of their sharp arrogance, especially in front of Master and Apprentice Shen Xing, the two seemed more reserved.
Huang Ruyue was not unhappy with what Wu Yuan said. Not to mention her background, she was not as good as Gao Tian and Jin Qiu in terms of alchemy. Leaving Guiyuan After the meeting, they realized the difficulty of being a free cultivator. No one would rush to give them the spiritual herbs they wanted. They spent more time collecting spiritual herbs than before, which slowed down their research and improvement of alchemy.
But the more this happened, the more the master and apprentice refused to admit defeat. In their opinion, as long as they were given the opportunity, they could trample on Wen, the master of Guiyuan Pavilion.
It was easy to enter Lingzhou, but it was difficult to get the recognition of the alchemists there. The master and apprentice had to withdraw after a tour of Lingzhou and continued to look for their opportunities. This time, they were lucky enough to meet
a disciple Wu Yuan's words were actually a sign of their contempt for the master and disciple. When they were in Guiyuan Pavilion, such merchants could only please them. However, the hardships they had experienced in the past few years made them realize that they were no longer in Guiyuan Pavilion and sometimes had to bow their heads.
"If Master Wu and Master Gao Dan need Ruyue for anything, Ruyue will do it." Huang Ruyue said softly.
Jin Long looked down on Gu Yao, and she looked down on Huang Ruyue, a pair of master and disciple who were clinging to him, even more. Especially Huang Ruyue's intentional or unintentional behavior in front of Gao Tian, in her opinion, was deliberately seducing her senior brother. In her eyes, what was the difference between her and other women?
Gao Tian said: "Since the words have been spoken, of course they cannot go back on their words. Next time, Master Huang Dan will have a chance to show her skills. "Of course he would not let anyone else take his place in this opportunity to become famous, otherwise why would he go to such great lengths to create such a big scene.
Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye, who were approaching, also saw Master Huang Ruyue and his apprentice, but they only glanced at them casually and looked away as if they were irrelevant. Xu Chen's eyes flashed with interest, as he knew very well what happened in Guiyuan Pavilion. , this little girl was unlucky enough to fall into Gu Yao's hands again.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, pointing fingers at Gu Yao who had never been famous in the Fengzhou alchemy world, and it was hard for people to have confidence in his alchemy.
The elder of Dingxuan Pavilion coughed lightly, and on the surface, he treated Wu Yuan and Jiang Jingfeng equally. After all, to outsiders, this was an internal matter of Dingxuan Pavilion, but it made the whole Fengming City shocked. moved, so he blamed him verbally and stated that this was just a competition of alchemy skills, so as not to hurt the harmony.
As for Gu Yao, this elder and the third-grade alchemist who came from the main pavilion did not pay much attention to him. They only encouraged him verbally, and it was obvious that they were not optimistic about him. There was no other reason, because the elixir that Gu Yao sent to Jiang Jingfeng had not been used yet, and Jiang Jingfeng was ready to put it to the critical moment, especially when Wu Yuan took the initiative to provoke an alchemy competition, Jiang Jingfeng even moved the time back.
Alchemist Qiu from the City Lord's Mansion rang a bell, and the rumbling sound in the square suddenly decreased a lot. He coughed lightly and said: "Master Gao, Master Yao, this time Qiu will host the alchemy competition, and the third-grade alchemists present will be judges together. Do you have any objections? "
The advantage is obviously on Gao Tian's side, but Gu Yao shook his head and said: "Not really."
Gao Tian was even more so: "May we start?"
Master Qiu knew that Gao Tian was arrogant, and alchemists from Lingzhou have always been like this, so there was no need to argue too much: "Then let me announce the rules of this competition. The spiritual herbs you two need to refine the pills will be provided by Dingxuan Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion. We have prepared a total of twenty kinds of pill materials, six copies of each. The number is limited, so the two alchemists need to choose carefully. "
These are the names of twenty kinds of elixirs," Master Qiu sent out a stream of spiritual power, and the names of these elixirs appeared on the jade disk beside him. The cultivators watching below could also see them clearly, "Among them, there are eight fourth-grade intermediate elixirs, eight fourth-grade advanced elixirs, and four fourth-grade top elixirs. The difficulty of refining the elixirs we choose at each level will not fluctuate too much. You need to pick one from each of these three levels of elixirs."
Gao Tian was a cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness, and he said confidently, "In fact, the intermediate elixirs can be saved, and we can start directly from the advanced elixirs. Of course, if Master Yao feels it is necessary, I will reluctantly pick one. "
Gao Tian casually named three kinds of pills. Master Qiu clapped his hands, and immediately a staff member brought up nine sets of materials for these three kinds of pills. Now everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Yao.
Huang Ruyue was also looking at the names of these pills. Over the years, with the pills provided by her master, her cultivation level had risen to the middle stage of Lianxu. However, the eight kinds of fourth-grade intermediate pills listed above were all pills with higher difficulty in this level. She was not sure that three sets of materials would be able to make a furnace of pills. After all, there were not so many materials for her to practice now.
She hoped that Master Yao would admit defeat on his own, or make a big fool of himself in front of everyone. Today's scene reminded her of the last pill battle in Guiyuan Pavilion. Although she spent some time It took time to suppress the shadow left by the battle of alchemy, allowing her alchemy skills and cultivation to continue to improve, but she knew very well that unless one day she really defeated Gu Yao, her inner demon would not be completely crushed.
She just didn't believe that after one Gu Yao, she would meet a second Gu Yao. She was not dissatisfied that she couldn't compare with Gao Tian and Jin Long, but she couldn't accept that one or two unknown alchemists could surpass her in alchemy. Huang Ruyue
didn't know that the alchemist Yao standing on the stage was Gu Yao, who had left her with inner demons, but when they met again, she didn't recognize the person who made her hate him so much.
Gu Yao glanced at the jade disc and originally wanted to choose the same elixir as Gao Tian, but after thinking about it, he changed it. He changed all three to the elixir that happened to be next to the one chosen by Gao Tian.
Jin Long sneered at this result. In her opinion, a confident person should choose the same pill as his senior brother, so that he can better judge the superiority and inferiority. But he turned out to be a coward. She thought that this alchemy competition was unnecessary.
However, the two third-grade alchemists from the City Lord's Mansion and Dingxuan Pavilion raised their eyebrows slightly. How could it be such a coincidence that the pills were so close to each other? This must be intentional. Why was it so intentional?
If they were nervous and afraid, they were also smart people who had lived long enough. They did not see any emotions related to it from Gu Yao. He seemed very calm. Was he calm about losing or calm about winning?
Gu Yao sat down leisurely at the alchemy table, took out the alchemy furnace and placed it in front of him. The three kinds of nine sets of materials were placed on the platform in front of him.
Although his alchemy furnace came from Guiyuan Pavilion, it has been used for so many years and has been marked with his own brand. Unless it is the alchemist himself, the cultivators who don’t have much impression of it can’t recognize it.
"This young friend Yao seems to be very confident." The cultivators at the guest table looked at Gu Yao and said with a smile.
"Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on the performance in the future. This is the beginning."
Gao Tian seemed to want to make Gu Yao look bad, and it would be best if he had a demon in his heart, so he looked at Gu Yao maliciously, waved his hand and sent all the materials for a medium-level pill into the alchemy furnace, which immediately caused a lot of exclamations.
Huang Ruyue's eyebrows jumped when she saw this, because in the alchemy battle where she lost to Tu Di, the opponent also threw all the materials into the alchemy furnace. Later, when she and her master went to Lingzhou, she found out that Gu Yao was not the only alchemist who did this, as long as the control was strong enough.
Gu Yao was slightly stunned, and others thought he was showing his cowardice, but in fact he was just thinking about whether he should be more low-key. After all, Huang Ruyue had seen him refine the alchemy, so he planned to refine the spiritual herbs step by step.
Others didn't know what he was thinking, but saw that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly the next moment, and it was even more difficult to figure out his thoughts. But everyone could see the next scene clearly, and saw that he followed Gao Tian's example and put all the materials into the alchemy furnace.
Not to mention that the monks on the stage were stunned by Gu Yao's actions, the audience below the stage was even more noisy. Many people thought that Gu Yao was afraid of losing face, so he insisted on doing the same thing as Gao Tian. However, he would only lose more face later. This approach would not be worth the loss.
