Five days later!
The first round of the arena battle is over!
Luo Chen stood in front of Tao Wan and looked at their rankings.
"fourth?"
Tao Wan sighed, "The fourth one is the result of their efforts. Even I took action myself."
Following her line of sight, Luo Chen looked at the main force in the ring battle.
Tao Daonan's face was no longer rosy, and his age became more obvious.
It is said that he personally had a fight with Chu Kui.
In that battle, with the ninth level of foundation building, he actually failed to defeat the opponent.
Instead, he suffered serious injuries.
In addition, Qi Lingyun and Tan Xiao are not in good condition either.
The former's right arm was drooping limply, while the latter's spiritual power fluctuated erratically, showing a state of deficiency.
In this case, we can still go from fifth to fourth.
Thinking about it, it has something to do with Tao Wan personally taking action and winning over another true disciple, Du Changfeng.
However, Dazhenzhuan took action personally in the first round, which really made him lose his standing.
Of course, winning is a good thing!
This means that those who rank high will have enough time to observe their opponents and adjust themselves by the third round of true sword fighting.
"This is the specific ranking, you can take a look."
In fact, there is no need to give a list.
Luo Chen only needed to look at the heights of each platform to see which ones ranked top.
First, it is still Danyangzi, senior brother of Qingdan Valley.
With the power of one person, he faced successive battles and still maintained the first place, which shows that his combat power is indeed impressive.
At least, the spiritual power is strong enough to withstand consumption.
The second is Yu Xuan and He Yuanqing.
Third, Shangguan Yan.
Fourth, Tao Wan.
Fifth, Du Changfeng.
Sixth, Fu Li
…
"I need to enter the top three, Luo Chen, can you help me?" Tao Wan looked at Luo Chen with burning eyes, full of hope.
Judging from the current ranking, it is not easy to enter the top three.
The second round consists of three games.
The top five are winners, the bottom four are losers.
Only the winner can move the ranking.
And you have to compare with opponents with similar rankings.
At least, they have to stay in the top three in every game so that Tao Wan's current ranking of fourth can move up one spot.
It's hard!
However, Luo Chen just smiled slightly.
"Just wait for the good news!"
As soon as the words fell, the high platform in the middle was filled with brilliance.
A white-haired old man descended from the heavenly palace.
It is the elder of Taidan Academy!
He looked around and spoke directly without saying anything:
"The first round of the second round, the basic alchemy competition, starts now!"
"Alchemists from all over the world are invited to come on stage!"
Under the expectant gazes of more than a dozen foundation builders from the Tao family, Luo Chen jumped out of the crowd and landed in front of an alchemy cauldron.
He reached out and touched the seemingly transparent glazed cauldron, and glanced at the other alchemists who came on stage one after another.
The first one is obviously Danyangzi.
The other party's face was solemn and slightly pale. It could be seen that the wheel battle during this period of time had consumed a lot of money on him.
This state is not suitable for alchemy!
The second one is Xuanyunzi He Yun.
Facing Luo Chen's gaze, the other party smiled slightly, which was quite friendly.
Luo Chen thought that the origin of the other party might be related to the chance of his predecessor, and it could also be regarded as the inheritance of the mantle.
He also smiled kindly.
It was also at this time that he noticed a sense of malice.
Turning his head to look, Huang Hezi was within five feet not far away.
The other party was looking at him with resentful eyes.
A message came out unabashedly.
"Little thief, I will let Tao Wan know how huge the gap is between you and me!"
To be called a thief, you are really disrespectful!
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and didn't reply at all.
The next moment, the gaze of the elder of Taidan Dean fell hard on Huang Hezi.
"The alchemy competition is about to begin, no whispering, spiritual consciousness transmission."
"If you do it again, you will be immediately disqualified from the competition!"
Huang Hezi couldn't help but shudder when he was scolded.
Yes!
When refining elixir, it is most taboo to disturb.
If you can release your spiritual consciousness unscrupulously, wouldn't it be possible to easily interfere with others?
The alchemy competition in Qingdan Valley is just a literary fight, not a so-called martial fight.
The comparison is the speed of time and the level of elixir.
Those methods must never be used.
With this interruption, Luo Chen was too lazy to look at anyone else.
In this second round, he came here to win the championship.
Having received various benefits from Tao Wan, I should do my best.
If the other party can really seize the Tao Seed position, it will undoubtedly be of great help to his future practice.
Pieces of familiar or unfamiliar medicinal materials were neatly placed in front of Luo Chen and others with a wave of the sleeve of Dean Taidan.
"The first game is a basic alchemy competition, breaking down and refining materials. Each material is equipped with three copies."
"You only need to produce a finished product. But! It must meet the corresponding standards to be considered qualified."
"The specific standards have been written on paper."
"Determine the winner based on the speed of time!"
"Start now!"
Almost instantly, three second-level alchemists started to move.
Faced with familiar medicinal materials, start directly.
Going from easy to difficult can not only increase your confidence, but also shorten the time.
But there were six people in the venue, not in a hurry, but looking at the five medicinal materials in front of them.
Luo Chen is also among them.
He has used four of the five medicinal materials before.
The first-order Zhanxingcao, the first-order Azure Aloe, the first-order Red Flame Ganoderma, and the second-order Blue Smoke Jade.
The other one he has never used before, but he has learned about it through various maps and alchemy secrets.
It's called Guiyuan Cicada.
It is the molted shell of a second-level monster beast, called cicada. It is not actually the shell of a cicada, it just looks like it.
It is also very simple to process this medicinal material. There are at least three alchemy techniques, all of which can be processed individually.
But if you want to meet the standard of "the blue sky is clear and your vitality is intact" set by the elder of Tai Dan, it won't work.
At least two other first-level medicinal materials are needed for neutralization to achieve this type of effect.
Luo Chen frowned slightly.
Qingdan Valley does not provide corresponding auxiliary medicinal materials?
However, how could the other party set impossible questions?
His eyes swept over the other four medicinal materials.
Various medicinal properties emerged one by one in his mind.
Chamstar grass is poisonous.
Azure aloe vera has mild medicinal properties and has special effects on healing wounds.
Red Flame Ganoderma has overbearing medicinal power and often burns other auxiliary materials with its scorching medicinal properties.
There is jade smoke in blue smoke jade, which is one of the main materials for refining Jade Dew Pill. Its nature is extremely cold.
"If I use red flames as a base, burn out the poison of Zhanxing, supplement it with extremely cold jade smoke, and then neutralize it with azure aloe, the resulting spiritual liquid seems to be the same as the two auxiliary materials needed to deal with the Guiyuan cicada slough. Quite?"
"No!"
"In this way, there is a conflict, but it is just specious."
"What if we deal with it at the same time?"
Faintly, Luo Chen had understood the method.
Looking across the audience, three of the six people who had not taken action before had already taken action.
Only Luo Chen, Danyangzi, and Xuanyunzi were left, still thinking.
But then, Danyangzi took action!
His first move was to boil the Red Flame Ganoderma with earth fire and use the Cloud Transformation Hand to process it.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen finally confirmed his idea.
really!
This first game is not a pure alchemy competition at all.
Among them, there are also pharmacological tests mixed in.
Sometimes, you can draw parallels and use stones from other mountains to attack jade!
However, the order in which Danyangzi is used as medicine does not seem to be the optimal solution?
…
As a great alchemist.
The alchemy atmosphere in Qingdan Valley is very strong.
Even some disciples who do not have the talent for alchemy will probably learn some corresponding alchemy knowledge in advance during the Qi refining period.
Even if you are not refining alchemy, you still have to prepare for many tasks related to alchemy in Qingdan Valley.
therefore.
For this second round, there was no colorful, earth-shattering battle.
However, many disciples also came to watch with great interest and did not want to miss any of the show.
It's the first one now.
Everyone knows it by heart and knows that it is dealing with medicinal materials.
This kind of thing is not difficult.
Some wealthy disciples in the Qi refining period often practice in private.
Seeing the several medicinal materials given by the elder of Tai Dan, they all started talking subconsciously.
"hiss!"
Someone screamed first!
Afterwards, there were various discussions.
"The test questions given this time are so difficult!"
"Yes, there are three first-level medicinal materials. Zhanxingcao is highly poisonous, Azure Aloe Vera has an extremely hard skin, and Red Flame Ganoderma has overbearing medicinal properties. Any one of them must be handled carefully and takes an extremely long time!"
"These three are okay, they just take a little longer. Look at the two second-level medicinal materials, one is mineral material and the other is monster material. Although they can be used as medicine, the processing is extremely complicated."
"I know the blue smoke jade. I heard that you have to break the jade hand to extract the essence of the jade smoke?"
"At least you have to break into the room to take out a wisp of jade smoke."
"Strange, doesn't the processing of Guiyuan cicada's slough also require two auxiliary materials? Did the elder forget to give them?"
There was a lot of discussion.
Three of the nine alchemists on the stage immediately started to move.
Their skilled movements proved that they were confident in handling limited medicinal materials.
"From easy to difficult is the experience gained from many alchemy competitions. It is unbreakable!"
"These three seniors seem to have studied the records of previous competitions."
"Hey, why are the other six people silent?"
On the high platform, the six alchemists remained motionless.
This scene.
In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention.
The elder of Taidan Dean stood in the center of the high platform and glanced at the nine people.
Looking at the three people who moved first, he cursed in his heart, "You idiot!"
He glanced at the remaining six people and nodded secretly.
"I have some knowledge, and I am not fooled by the so-called experience of past competitions. In my generation, there is no easy-to-difficult formula for alchemy. What we have is just the principles of alchemy that follow pharmacology."
"I don't know, among these six people, who is the first to come up with a solution to the problem of Guiyuan Chan's slough?"
"Danyangzi is extremely talented in alchemy. He follows his intuition and will never be able to defeat him."
"Huang Hezi is old enough and has extensive experience and knowledge. He should be able to come up with reasonable solutions."
"For Guiyuan Cicada, although I did not provide any auxiliary materials, these four medicinal materials can be combined to at least three solutions to solve its medicinal properties. It depends on which one you can understand."
His eyes swept over Luo Chen.
When you see the other person and think about it, you still have time to see the other person.
"After all, he is a casual alchemist with a weak foundation and unclear pharmacology. He just got a Taoist title by luck."
"At such a critical moment, if you can't think of something, why do you try to look at other people's solutions?"
"This is not an idiot. This is worse behavior than an idiot. He pretends to understand and steals other people's achievements... Are people like this worthy of entering the alchemy competition in my Qingdan Valley?"
In his heart, the elder of Taidan Dean already disliked Luo Chen very much.
Also, Tao Wan, who he invited Luo Chen to come, was not happy.
A distant glance, indifference and disgust!
Tao Wan didn't notice this look.
At this moment, all her attention was on Luo Chen.
Seeing that among the nine people, three of them moved first, she remained motionless for a moment.
Because, like Luo Chen, several other people did not move.
When she saw Danyangzi among the six people, she made the first move, and her heart was still calm.
The eldest brother has an extremely terrifying alchemy talent, ranking first among the seven Qingdan disciples.
If it weren't for his status as a Taoist, he would have been invited to the Supreme Dan Academy and become the elder of the Supreme Dan Academy.
but.
When he saw Xuanyunzi, Huang Hezi, and the other two people, they started to take action one after another, activating the earth fire to refine the medicinal materials.
She couldn't sit still.
The Tao family monk behind him finally couldn't suppress his inner dissatisfaction.
"What exactly are Dan Chenzi worshiping doing?"
"Will he be able to make elixirs and make a fool of himself by staying up there?"
"It's really not possible. If you can handle one kind of medicinal material, just handle it!"
"Master, didn't you tell him all the experience and tips from the alchemy competition before?"
Tao Yisheng's face turned red.
Ignoring everyone's emotions, he turned around and roared.
"Shut up!"
"Brother Luo's alchemy skills are beyond your imagination, just watch carefully."
At the end, he added another sentence.
"Noisy!"
Perhaps with the support of Tao Wan and the clan leader, during this period, Tao Yisheng's authority as the head of the family has gradually taken shape.
Under his scolding, those foundation-building cultivators who were older than him could only stare angrily and shut up.
Tao Wan was indeed uneasy before as she listened to the subsequent discussion.
Some even complained about Luo Chen, but if it didn't work, let's deal with a few common medicinal materials first.
However, his brother's inexplicable strong confidence in Luo Chen seemed to have infected him.
Looking at Luo Chen's back, Xin Chang's fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.
"You are sure of it, right?"
…
At this moment, on the high platform.
The underground fire came out of the cave and the fire was raging.
Various medicinal materials are processed, and the strange aroma emitted makes the nostrils tremble.
All eight of the nine second-level alchemists were already moving.
Luo Chen, the only one who didn't move, became the focus of everyone's attention.
Not a hero, but a buffoon!
Under the spotlight, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.
In the midst of exclamations, he directly threw the Guiyuan cicada into the glazed cauldron.
"What is he doing!"
"Are you stupid? This is the most difficult medicinal ingredient. Shouldn't it be left to the end?"
"It's not a matter of order, but because there are no auxiliary materials. Does he want to destroy this Guiyuan cicada?"
Just at this moment.
The elder of the Taidan dean, who originally despised Luo Chen, suddenly widened his eyes.
"No way?"
