Volume 3 Chapter 60 Sect Alchemy Competition 2
There are no special regulations on how long the sect alchemy competition lasts. After all, smelting elixirs is time-consuming. Sometimes, it even takes several days to smelt a single elixir. In addition, smelting elixirs is also affected by various factors, leading to accidents such as furnace explosions, and so on. .
"Master Fei, the three over there are the sixth-grade alchemists for this competition. Among their assistants, two are also sixth-grade alchemists, and the other is an alchemist who has just entered the seventh-grade." Bai Fei did not. Eager to get the number, he and the elders of Liluo Pavilion just watched from a distance. At this time, Elder Li pointed at the six people not far away and said.
The six people didn't seem to be in a hurry, looking like they had a lot of time to do.
Bai Fei set his sights on the seventh-grade alchemist and found that his level was not too high, but he did not underestimate him. After all, if it weren't for the possession of the Shanhe Seal Fusion Spirit Cauldron, he would be someone he looked up to.
The alchemist's requirements for magic power are not harsh, but his requirements for soul power are very high. Bai Fei's careful observation immediately caught the man's attention. Naturally, the man did not take him seriously, or in other words, he did not take him seriously at all. He didn't take any of the contestants seriously. However, he still nodded politely to Bai Fei, and Bai Fei also nodded to him, and then looked back.
"No. 117!" The notary handed over a number and sang.
As the man rushed to the corresponding cave with the number, only those three groups and Bai Fei and Li Yuanbai's group were left in the square.
Among the three groups of people, especially the seventh-level alchemist saw that Bai Fei still had no intention of moving, so he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his feet first, and walked towards the entrance, followed by the other two masters.
Bai Fei said goodbye to the elders of Liluo Pavilion, and headed towards the entrance with Li Yuanbai.
"No. 121!"
After Li Yuanbai got the number, someone immediately led them to the corresponding cave. This number means that there are 121 groups of contestants in this sect alchemy competition.
The person talking to Bai Fei and Li Yuanbai was a woman. She was good-looking, but a little cold and aloof. At this time, he was leading the way, so he couldn't see her expression, but her back was swaying. Let Bai Fei look at it. I fell into the memories of the past, and then I was filled with melancholy and sadness.
Although there are 318 caves, there are only 121 participants, so those far away caves are not used. Bai Fei was number 121, the last group, and the farthest away. Along the way, the talker didn't say a word, but he and Li Yuanbai admired her beautiful back for a while.
After a while, the three of them arrived at Cave No. 121. The woman made an invitation gesture, and Li Yuanbai handed her the number, and then he and Bai Fei entered the cave.
"The alchemy competition begins immediately. In the first round, contestants must successfully smelt the designated fourth-grade elixir within three hours. There are two ingredients in total. Those who fail or exceed the time limit will be eliminated!"
Not long after, a sound like a loud bell came from the square and spread into various caves.
Bai Fei and Li Yuanbai looked at each other, curious and fresh. After waiting for a long time, their speaker entered the cave and brought the first round of prescriptions and the two corresponding medicinal materials.
"Sorry for bothering you, sister!" Bai Fei took the prescription and medicinal materials and thanked him.
The woman's expression remained unchanged, her eyebrows lowered, she turned around and walked out of the cave, restraining herself.
Stand outside the cave.
Bai Fei laughed at himself. At this time, Li Yuanbai had already taken out the Fudo Liuyun Cauldron, and was obviously about to start smelting the elixir.
This was only a fourth-grade elixir, and it was not enough to use the Mountain and River Seal Fusion Spirit Cauldron. Bai Fei let Li Yuanbai fiddle with it. He just watched from the side. Occasionally, his eyes would glance at the bleak-looking figure outside the cave. superior.
It was too easy for Li Yuanbai to smelt a mere fourth-grade elixir. In less than two hours, he successfully smelted it. He put the elixir into the box and ran to hand it over to the speaker.
The woman took the medicine box, opened it and took a casual look, then raised the number in her hand high, which meant that the cave successfully passed the first round of the competition. Then, like all the other speakers, she temporarily left the cave and sent the pill down.
The rules of the alchemy competition stipulate that all elixirs smelted during the competition belong to the organizer of the competition. Even so, no one will have any objection. After all, the medicinal materials are also provided by the organizer. Besides, they come to participate in such a competition. Competition, how come it is for this small profit?
The speaker sent the elixir to the notary team to verify the results of each cave again so as to keep records.
Although the first round is a knockout round, because it only smelts fourth-grade elixirs, most people can pass smoothly in this round. Only a very small number of people, either because of nervousness or due to other factors, unfortunately stop. in this round.
First round, just appetizers!
"In the second round, five-grade elixirs are designated. The time limit is five hours and two medicinal materials. Those who fail or exceed the time limit will be eliminated!"
The bell-like voice sounded again!
"Sorry for bothering you, sister!" Although he knew that the other party would ignore him, Bai Fei still thanked him.
Smelting fifth-grade elixirs is not that easy anymore. Li Yuanbai became nervous immediately, and Bai Fei couldn't stay idle any longer and carefully assisted from the side.
Three hours later, through the tacit cooperation of the two, they finally successfully smelted the fifth-grade elixir. Bai Fei immediately asked Li Yuanbai to meditate and adjust his breathing to restore the lost energy as soon as possible.
This round, more contestants were eliminated. Some contestants used up both medicinal materials and failed to successfully smelt the fifth-grade elixir. Some contestants even spent five hours. In the end, I handed in a blank paper.
"The second round is over! Counting the first round, a total of thirty-one contestants have been eliminated, leaving ninety groups. Next, is the third round. This round, it is still smelting fifth-grade elixirs, with a total of three medicinal materials. , it requires three smeltings to be successful, and the time limit is twenty-four hours. Those who fail or exceed the time limit will be eliminated!"
Compared with the first two rounds, this third round not only tests the level of alchemy, but also considers the alchemist's perseverance and endurance, as well as the strength of the soul. In a certain sense, it also tests the alchemist's realm. There are certain requirements. You must know that you have to successfully smelt elixirs three times in a row within twenty-four hours, which is extremely exhausting. If you cannot get good supplements, it is difficult for anyone to persevere. The higher the state, the faster the breath adjustment time, the faster the recovery speed, and in many aspects, it is more convenient.
After confirming that An Qi had the corresponding medicinal materials, Bai Fei and Li Yuanbai started smelting with confidence. If they don't have extra medicinal materials, they don't dare to take risks easily. Once they fail, they will cut off their own way out.
Twenty hours passed by in the blink of an eye while concentrating on refining alchemy, and finally the three medicinal materials were
Unfortunately, Bai Fei and Li Yuanbai only succeeded twice and failed once. According to the rules, they should have been eliminated in this round. At this point, they had no choice but to resort to cheating. Bai Fei had no intention of trying again, but directly used his own medicinal materials to smelt the elixir through the Shanhe Seal Fusion Spirit Cauldron.
In this round, nearly half of the people were eliminated, and there were less than fifty contestants who could continue to participate in the next round, which shows how difficult this round is.
"The fourth round is to smelt the nine-mark elixir. There are three medicinal materials in total. The top thirty will be determined based on the number of marks. The remaining ones will be eliminated. The time limit is ten hours."
The nine-marked elixir is not a precious elixir, and it is not very useful. It is just used to test the alchemist's alchemy level. The more lines the elixir has, the better it will be for the alchemist's alchemy level and smelting elixir. The higher the requirements for patience and delicacy in the process. The alchemist's control over the operation of mana is also related to the success or failure of the pattern formation and fixation. It can be said that smelting this kind of elixir is a comprehensive test for the alchemist.
There are many types of medicinal materials required for the Nine Pattern Pills, but they are all ordinary medicinal materials. Bai Fei's An Qi found countless such medicinal materials.
In the sect alchemy competition, this round is the most critical round, because only by breaking into the top thirty can the Great Medicine Palace Spirit Branch send envoys to the sect for guidance. This is also the reason why the Great Medicine Palace Spirit Branch can get close An excellent opportunity for contact. If you lose in this round, in fact, it will be no different from those who were eliminated before.
In the square, the number of onlookers gradually decreased. Those eliminated contestants and their sects were not allowed to stay here any longer. I don't know when, there were several powerful auras in the square, and behind them, there were dozens of figures standing solemnly.
No one dared to disturb them, they just watched quietly. Because they are all members of the Great Medicine Palace Ling branch, as before, they will come whenever the competition reaches this round.
Install the latest version. 】
Not to mention that the atmosphere in the square has changed, the contestants who were smelting elixirs in various caves were also happy and sad.
Ten hours is not a long time, but it is enough because you only need to smelt one pill. However, there are three parts of the medicinal materials. Who doesn’t want to try a few more times in order to smelt the elixir with more lines and increase his chances of winning?
Bai Fei and Li Yuanbai are no exception.
It can be said that Bai Fei is in a dilemma now. He can smelt the elixir through the Shanhe Seal Fusion Spirit Cauldron, but such elixir must be the most perfect, that is, the true nine-mark elixir. Although it can It's a sure win, but it's too high-profile and even scary to hear!
Therefore, after a little discussion with Li Yuanbai, they decided to smelt it themselves.
The first time, it took an hour to successfully smelt the elixir, but there were only three lines.
The second time, it took nearly two hours, but there were still three lines.
The third time, another two hours later, this time they were more careful and got the four-line elixir.
But this is not enough! According to past experience, fifth-level alchemists should be able to smelt five-mark elixirs easily. Most of the remaining fifty alchemists have the level of fifth-level alchemy skills. Moreover, if the number of lines is the same, the quality also needs to be compared, and Bai Fei would not dare to gamble. Therefore, the five-line elixir is not enough, let alone the four-line elixir.
"continue!"
Bai Fei said something, and the two of them continued to work hard.
