"Tai Dan Courtyard is the essence of our Qing Dan Valley."
"The monks among them are all experienced old alchemists, and there are three third-level alchemists sitting in charge, Qingdan, Xingyun, and Chiding."
"The elder who just wanted to recruit you to Taidan Academy as a guest minister is Master Chiding."
"Once you enter the Tai Dan Academy, the fights and killings from the outside world and the struggle for power within the sect will no longer have anything to do with you. All you have to do is dedicate your life to the way of alchemy."
"Refining elixirs in batches to make money for the sect, researching ancient elixirs, and innovating to create new elixirs."
"Of course, there are many benefits. In terms of cultivation resources, don't worry. At least one bottle of the high-grade Shenglong Pill you want is available every month."
On the high platform of the Tao family.
Tao Wan enthusiastically introduced the situation of Qingdan Valley Taidan Academy to Luo Chen.
From the third-level alchemist to the old first-level alchemist, all situations are clearly introduced.
The corresponding rights and obligations are not hidden.
After Luo Chen heard this, he frowned.
This Taidan Courtyard seems not as good as I imagined!
To sum up, why does it sound like a big tool man?
Moreover, only one bottle of Shenglong Pill is given a month?
Considering that after entering the Taidan Academy, there are still a large number of elixir prescriptions for reference and research, it seems that these are nothing?
With those pill formulas, he could refine them himself. In fact, this alone was enough.
Luo Chen fell into deep thought.
No one else dared to disturb him.
Several hours have passed since Luo Chen refined the Dust Falling Pill and won the third victory.
Facing Elder Chiding's invitation, Luo Chen claimed that he would consider it.
The other party also knew that he was too anxious, so he asked him to come down and rest first.
At this moment, after listening to Tao Wan's introduction, Luo Chen was hard to make a decision.
After entering Taidan Academy, there are many elixir prescriptions for you to study, and you will definitely not have any big problems in practice.
But the attribute of a tool person means that you often have to do something yourself.
Moreover, he knows his own qualifications better than anyone else and needs massive resources to support them.
If he can't participate in outside business, then Luo Tianhui, who he single-handedly supported, will definitely take care of him flawlessly, and he will lose a huge amount of income.
That was the foundation he had spent countless efforts to build.
"The most important thing is, it seems like it's not up to me to make a choice?"
Luo Chen raised his head and looked at the heavenly palace hanging high in the sky.
There was a pair of cold and cold eyes that had been falling on him since the first alchemy competition.
In name only.
He, Luo Chen, belongs to the Ice Castle Jueqing lineage!
Luo Chen glanced at Tao Wan, who couldn't hide his excitement, and slowly made a decision in his heart.
It’s okay if you don’t enter this Taidan Courtyard!
It is enough for me to have the connections of Tao Wan, the Great True Successor, here in Qingdan Valley.
Rather than being bound by the sect, it is better to be free outside.
and!
The disciples of the sect are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface.
It is said that there is no shortage of resources, but that is just talk.
Didn’t you see that there are thousands of foundation-building practitioners in the Qingdan Valley, and there are hundreds of great monks in the later period, not to mention the dozen or so golden elixir masters.
Such a large number of high-level monks requires massive resources.
Even if it is distributed according to realm and status, there will never be much in everyone's hands.
This can be seen from the fact that people like Tao Wan and Dan Yangzi have to go out in person, roll up their sleeves and fight, just to compete for the Tao seed position where they can obtain more resources.
These direct descendants are not enough.
Not to mention a foreigner like myself!
After making the decision, the big stone in Luo Chen's heart fell to the ground.
At this moment, I had time to pay attention to the intense alchemy competition that was going on on the stage.
"Tao Zhenzhuan, I have won the first place in three games. I wonder how high your ranking can be?"
Tao Wan thought for a while and said uncertainly: "At least I can get into second place! As for whether I can be first, it depends on the result of the last game of senior brother."
Luo Chen won the championship three times in a row, which had a huge impact.
Tao Wan, who was originally ranked fourth, can take this opportunity to move up the rankings. It is possible to reach third place or even first place.
If Danyangzi can still retain the good result of second place in the third round of refining the Dust Falling Pill as before.
Of course there is no such opportunity.
But now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Danyangzi's alchemy process is not going smoothly.
"Failed again!" Tao Wan whispered, unable to conceal her excitement.
Luo Chen pulled Tao Yisheng over and asked, "This is your senior brother. How many times has it failed?"
"This is the third time you have failed since you left the field." Tao Yisheng said excitedly but also a little disappointed.
There must be a reason for his conflicted look.
Luo Chen was too lazy to think deeply.
Looking at Danyangzi struggling on the stage, he shook his head regretfully.
He could see that the other party's understanding of Chenchen elixir formula was not perfect.
Some details are handled very roughly.
Most importantly, unfamiliar!
From beginning to end, he showed an unfamiliar refining state.
Yes!
In the past half month, Danyangzi had been suffering from wheel warfare.
You have to deal with enemies one after another every day, and you also have to leave time to meditate and recover. How can you have enough time to study two kinds of elixirs?
Moreover, researching elixirs is only the first step.
For subsequent refining experience, you have to refining it yourself several times and dozens of times before you can gain a little bit.
These all take time!
"I don't know what mistake your senior brother made. Not only was he deprived of his Tao Seed status, he was not even allowed to use his true fire in the second game."
Faced with this question, Tao Yisheng didn't know how to answer.
Tao Wan said: "If I can achieve the position of true successor, maybe I can find out what's going on."
Can it be done?
There's a great chance!
Late at night, the second person who refined the Dust Falling Pill appeared.
It's a bit beyond everyone's expectations.
Not Danyangzi, nor Xuan Yunzi, who had shown his talent before.
But it’s the Fu family’s alchemist, Fu Huai!
For the second round of the alchemy competition, he cleverly chose to focus on the most important third round, the second-level elixir refining.
With the full support of the Fu family, this elixir has been studied to the extreme.
Even privately, it has been successful.
Now, we have finally won a good ranking for the Fu family!
If the fourth place in the previous two games is included, the final overall ranking will probably be very good.
At this time, someone glanced at Danyangzi subconsciously.
The other party remained silent, still working hard to refine the Dust Falling Pill, and it seemed that he was just a little short of it.
But just this point is like a natural chasm.
The morning comes.
Xuanyunzi was the third to refine the Dust Falling Pill.
Time passed slowly, Huang Hezi and Ganoderma lucidum also succeeded one after another.
In this way, the top five winners will be decided.
There were four people left, and the three stopped struggling and gave up.
Winning five and losing four, the latter four were all failures and could not help improve the ranking.
Master Chiding, the dean of Taidan, walked up to Danyangzi.
"Why bother?"
"With your talents, you can reach the extreme whether it is cultivation, alchemy, or taking charge of a sect, but you want everything."
"The consequences will be what you are now."
"There are obviously three rounds of competition. As long as you make a choice and give up one round, you have a great chance of reaching the end."
"But you still want everything."
"Danyang, can you accept the current failure?"
Danyangzi remained silent.
Still persisting in refining the elixir in the Liulizi Cauldron.
Master Red Cauldron's face was slightly angry.
"You have inherited your father's title of Master Danyang. You should be the future master of Danyang Peak. Why bother fighting for power?"
"Those things, to us alchemists, don't exist... Huh?"
In his astonishment.
A faint scent of elixir floated out.
Danyangzi spoke hoarsely:
"Please also ask the elders to determine the grade of the elixir."
This time, Chiding was silent.
…
Under the spotlight.
The elder of Taidan Dean announced the respective rankings of the three competitions in the second round, and finally gave the overall ranking.
First, Dan Chenzi is well deserved!
Winning three games and crushing them in three games, no one has any doubts.
The second place was beyond many people’s expectations.
Not Xuan Yunzi, who finished third in three consecutive games, nor Danyangzi, who finished second in two games and sixth in one.
It’s the Fu family’s alchemy master Huai!
Many people are surprised, but many people take it for granted.
"Let me just say, the second-level elixir refining in the third game has always been the most important game in determining rankings!"
"He was fourth in the first two games and second in the last game, and he jumped directly to second place in the overall ranking."
"The Fu family really made the second best decision!"
The moment this ranking appeared.
Each of the nine true disciples had different moods, and the expressions on their faces were also extremely exciting.
Tao Wan and Fu Li looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The faces of He Yuanqing and Shangguan Yan, who were ranked second and third, gradually became gloomy at this moment.
as expected.
As the subsequent rankings in the second round were announced, their bad worries became a reality.
Third, it was given to Xuan Yunzi, who had been in the top three for three consecutive games.
Fourth, Danyangzi.
In fifth place, Huang Hezi was given a loss, a fifth place, and a fourth place.
After this, everyone will be a loser.
There will not be any big changes in the ranking of the great true legends behind them.
As a result, the top five rankings will definitely change dramatically due to the overall ranking in the second round!
next moment!
With Master Chiding's big wave of his hand.
The nine high platforms made a rumbling sound.
Some people rise, some people fall!
Under the nervous gazes of countless people, Danyangzi, who was originally ranked first, was slowly declining in height.
Instead, it was Tao Wan who once jumped to the first place!
At this moment, Tao Wan is number one!
Danyangzi is second.
He Yuanqing was third.
Fu Li is fourth.
Shangguan Yan is fifth!
As soon as the result came out, Tao Wan naturally beamed with joy.
The rest of the people were not in a good mood.
"Why Yun misled me!" He Yuanqing looked ferocious. He only wanted to enter the final round in first place, but now he was only ranked third.
This means that he has to fight at least three people to have a chance to win the Tao Seed position.
Fu Li looked calm.
Fourth place is a very good ranking.
Although it is no longer possible to compete for Tao seeds, it has also shown its own value.
And it can also be of some help to allies.
In comparison, Shangguan Yan, who was ranked third before, has now fallen to fifth. I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable!
He looked in the direction of Shangguan Yan with great interest.
The other party's face was ashen and he said nothing.
But Huang Hezi had a sullen face and left with a puff of sleeves.
It can be shown that the relationship between the two is not harmonious.
…
The second round is over, with a short break in between.
It is not for the great true disciples to rest, but for the elders of Qingdan Valley to arrange the final sword fighting stage.
At this moment, the nine arenas are slowly closing under the control of Master Jindan.
A sword fighting platform with a length and width of nearly a thousand feet gradually took shape.
At this time, the Da Zhen disciples got off the high platform one after another and gathered together according to their relationship.
They discussed with each other how to deal with the real sword fight that would come soon.
Many of them had gloomy faces.
Especially those in the middle.
On the contrary, the last two people were not unwilling to do anything.
He was still talking enthusiastically, "It's been a long time since I've sparred with my senior brother. I must be merciful later!"
"Junior brother, you're welcome. Just click until now. How about that?"
"Great, great!"
Being able to seize the position of the Great True Successor has proven their ability.
Next, just show off your strength a little bit.
Tao seed?
There is no need to ask for anything extravagantly.
The position of Da Zhenzhuan is quite good, and it can already get some resources.
Luo Chen and the alchemist of the Fu family stood together, discussing something in a low voice, glancing at the others from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
In my heart, I shook my head a little.
The battle for Taoism in Qingdan Valley is quite loud, but not intense enough.
The disciples of the sect fight among themselves, and there may be strife, but there is still a bottom line to some extent.
In comparison.
These casual cultivators who worked hard and fought hard would often fight to the death.
The level of cruelty is much more serious than this sect competition.
"Fellow Daoist Dan Chenzi, I really admire your alchemy skills! Although I was confident about refining the Chenchen Pill, I was still worried. I didn't expect you to succeed in the first try."
Fu Huai's compliments rang in his ears.
Luo Chen smiled slightly and waved his hands modestly.
Fu Huai then said: "I'm afraid that after this incident, many people will value Taoist fellow Taoist, even if he becomes a guest of that great sect, it won't be an exaggeration!"
Three consecutive leaders, crushing his comrades.
Dan Chenzi's alchemy skills are already famous in the Qingdan Valley, and will soon become even more famous in the entire Jade Cauldron Domain!
Warm invitations, I’m afraid they will follow once the true sword fight is over!
It is even said that it is here before it is over or even started.
"Shangguan Yan, what do you want to do?"
Tao Wan didn't know when he stood in front of Luo Chen Shangguan Yan.
Behind her were Luo Chen and Fu Huai who had stopped talking.
Shangguan Yan smiled sweetly, "What can you do? Master Dan Chenzi is so powerful. Naturally, my little sister wants to ask for some knowledge on alchemy!"
"You are not welcome here!" Tao Wan said coldly.
Shangguan Yan frowned, "You are only the number one true disciple now, not the Qing Dan Dao type. You are so majestic!"
Tao Wan showed her white teeth, "Yes, I am not a Taoist seed yet. But as the fifth true successor, it is unknown whether you will be able to walk in front of me during the sword fight. Now that you have come here in advance, are you trying to make up for your regrets in advance? ?”
Shangguan Yan's face changed drastically and he clenched his teeth.
Looking at Tao Wan, he was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Watching her leaving, Tao Wan felt relieved.
But looking around, I found that many great legends would turn their attention to Luo Chen from time to time.
This made her feel nervous!
The importance of Luo Chen is no longer as simple as a foreign helper.
With his alchemy skills, he is enough to become a distinguished guest at the Grand Sect.
Naturally, the Tao family cannot be kept.
But the Tao family couldn't keep her. If she, Tao Wan, could achieve the Qing Dan Taoism, she would be qualified to stay.
At least, it cannot fall into the hands of these competitors!
Shangguan Yan's temptation was just the first one.
How to face the aftermath, or in other words, how to leave Luo Chen behind?
Just as she was thinking, a disciple came to inform her that the venue had been set up and the true sword fight was about to begin.
All the great true disciples set off.
Luo Chen followed behind, also preparing to watch the third round of true sword fighting.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he was stopped by someone.
"Master Dan Chenzi, the Master has invited me."
"Which master?"
"The Master in the Heavenly Palace!"
Luo Chen paused slightly, knowing that what was supposed to come would eventually come.
But this time, when he goes to the Heavenly Palace, he is no longer as unknown as before.
Everyone must face him squarely!
