After Ma Lian signed up, he followed Qin Changsheng back to the inn to rest. Qin Changsheng rented a small courtyard. The environment of the small courtyard was very good, and there was even a miniature spirit gathering array.
However, the price is indeed a bit expensive, costing a full 10 Aomaru coins per night.
After today's daytime auction, Qin Changsheng has realized that his financial resources are still very insufficient.
In the past, he thought that he had millions of Qingwan coins and no need to spend them.
But recently, Qin Changsheng found that his expenditure was too much. Several million Qingwan coins were really not enough for him.
These are all based on Qin Changsheng not having a reasonable spending plan. Qin Changsheng knows that if he really has this plan, he will still have a lot of money left.
Thinking of this, a beautiful figure appeared in Qin Changsheng's mind.
It has been almost half a year since he left the Tiannan Sword Sect, and he is now eager to know how An Lan is doing.
He believed that with An Lan's money-making methods, An Lan would be able to stir up the entire Eastern Region market within three years.
Qin Changsheng didn't even have to go back to Tiannan Sword Sect to withdraw money. An Lan's subordinates would rush to give Qin Changsheng money.
Qin Changsheng was looking forward to that day.
After resting, Qin Changsheng took a rough look at the schedule of this alchemy competition.
As the most important exchange gathering for the younger generation of alchemists, the Alchemy Competition is held every twenty or thirty years. The time and location are not fixed. This time, the location is in Alchemy City.
Young alchemists under the age of 50 from the entire Eastern Region will gather here. They have only one common goal, to win the crown in this Eastern Region Alchemy Competition.
Qin Changsheng learned about the specific schedule.
The alchemy competition is divided into three levels. The first level tests the knowledge and use of medicinal materials.
At this level, the organizer of the alchemy competition will select this weird medicinal material for the alchemists to identify.
Understanding medicinal materials is always the first step for an alchemist. This step is really important.
If an alchemist doesn't even know the medicinal materials in front of him, he simply cannot make alchemy based on the medicinal materials.
The elixir recipe is only a reference from beginning to end. Every alchemist will improve or adjust the elixir recipe because of his different alchemy techniques.
This also causes the refining method of a pill that is familiar to everyone to be strange.
For example, one of the most famous elixirs in the world of immortality is the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This elixir can be said to be the most desired elixir for those disciples who are not outstandingly talented.
Ma Lianshuang alone now has more than a dozen ways to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The second level of the alchemy competition is to compete in alchemy skills.
The organizer of this alchemy competition will select an elixir for everyone to refine together. Whoever can complete it quickly and well within the specified time will win.
The most important thing for an alchemist is the art of alchemy, the process of alchemy.
If an alchemist is proficient in all theoretical knowledge, but the furnace explodes as soon as he starts making alchemy, it will definitely not work.
This level is the most basic test and the level that best demonstrates the alchemist’s strength.
As for the third level, Qin Changsheng did frown a little after seeing it.
This third level actually requires the alchemist to complete the elixir recipe.
There are countless alchemists in this world, and a large number of alchemy recipes are created by these alchemists every day.
Most of these elixir recipes are used. After all, if any alchemist can get the elixir recipe, the elixir recipe will not be so precious.
The third level of this alchemy competition is to select some elixir recipes that have appeared before. These elixir recipes may be incomplete due to various reasons.
The alchemists participating in the competition need to complete these alchemy recipes and find out the problems.
Qin Changsheng felt that this level was the place where the alchemist's talent was truly tested.
If an alchemist can only make alchemy step by step, he can only pick up others' wisdom and will not create his own creation.
After all, the alchemy competition is just a competition, and it is impossible for the alchemist to create the elixir on the spot.
However, it requires you to make up the recipe on the spot. This is a test of the alchemist's talent. If an alchemist can draw inferences from one example and complete the incomplete recipe, his future achievements will be immeasurable.
Qin Changsheng naturally understood how heavy this was.
"Shuang'er, are you confident?"
After seeing such a complicated schedule, Qin Changsheng looked at Ma Lianshuang.
"I……"
Ma Lianshuang still had some hesitation, although today she had discovered that she was different from others.
She knows her talent, and it's pretty good now.
But one thing is that Ma Lianshuang knows that she is still young. If she is asked to wait for another time to participate in the alchemy competition, she is confident that she can get a good ranking.
But now it seems that she has been a little too hasty. She even had the idea of this competition just to experience it.
Qin Changsheng could see what Ma Lianshuang was thinking.
"Shuang'er, Xiaolongnu and I sent you all the way here, not just for you to play here. Since you have chosen to participate in the alchemy competition, you must go all out. You can't just hold it to experience it. The idea. You must go all out for every experience in your life. After all, cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
Qin Changsheng didn't want to talk too much. He just wanted to tell Ma Lianshuang now.
This time I have to go all out!
Ma Lianshuang stuck out her tongue. Qin Changsheng saw what she was thinking, and she felt ashamed.
She didn't understand why she had such thoughts.
Maybe it was because she wasn't confident in herself, or maybe it was because Qin Changsheng was here and she felt she had someone to rely on.
But these are not important anymore. Since Qin Changsheng just said that she will go all out this time, she must show her best condition to participate in the competition.
Qin Changsheng was slightly satisfied when he saw Ma Lianshuang's current expression.
"Shuang'er, I have never doubted your talent, and you must not underestimate yourself. I know you feel that you are still young, and you may not get a good ranking this time. But you are here, what will happen if you don't try? Do you know? You are the Aoki Holy Body!"
After mentioning the Holy Body of Aoki, a look of pride appeared on Ma Lianshuang's face.
Ever since she knew that she was the Holy Body of Aoki, she had been somewhat complacent about her identity.
After all, as an alchemist, she has the most suitable physique for alchemy in the world. What else can she be dissatisfied with?
"I know the sect master, and I will definitely do my best."
After seeing Ma Lianshuang's assurance, Qin Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Get some rest. Let's go to the competition together tomorrow morning."
That night, Ma Lianshuang lay on the bed and looked at the stars.
She found an extremely bright star, and she was thinking that maybe one day she would become the brightest star in the sky.
As long as the sect master is here, nothing is impossible.
