"Senior Brother Song, the finals are about to begin. I still need to adjust my breath, so I won't chat with Senior Brother Song."
Cao Ying didn't want to see Song Qing's face that made her feel sick again, so she spoke directly, with the meaning of expulsion contained in her words.
"That's right. Ying'er, please take a good rest and I won't bother you too much. I'll talk to you again after the meeting."
After hearing this, Song Qing thought for a while and felt that Cao Ying was right. He also needed to prepare to cope with the finals. This Dan meeting was equally important to him, so he followed Cao Ying's wishes and smiled. Having said that, he turned around and walked towards a position closer to Cao Ying.
After Song Qing left, Cao Ying closed her eyes without even taking a second look. She directly began to concentrate her mind, recite the magic spell silently, and adjust her state.
…
About an hour later, the continuous space fluctuations in the square completely disappeared, which also meant that all the contestants had come out, and the alchemy world was closed again.
Then, three figures slowly emerged from one of the highest seats in the square, and a vast and oppressive aura also spread from these three people.
These three people are the three giants of Danta.
With the appearance of these three figures, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the audience stage, like the roar of a giant dragon, resounding throughout the sky.
Even Cao Ying, who had closed her eyes to rest her mind, slowly opened her eyes at this moment and focused her gaze on the three figures, headed by Xuan Kongzi. A trace of complexity flashed through her beautiful eyes. , couldn't help but murmur softly in his mouth.
"Teacher...I'm sorry, I have to do this for the sake of the Cao family. I hope...I can have a chance to make up for the Danta in the future..."
When Hun Changqing had intense emotional fluctuations towards Xuan Kongzi before, Cao Ying had some guesses. It was very likely that Hun Changqing would not hesitate to risk his own life and sneak into the Star Territory to take action against the Danta people. This time Xuan Kongzi was very There may be danger, but Cao Ying can't stop it, or subconsciously she doesn't want to stop it, she doesn't want to let Hun Changqing down.
So she could only crazyly hint to herself in her heart that she was forced to do it for the safety of the Cao family, in order to alleviate her guilt and guilt.
But in fact, even she herself doesn’t know whether she is helping Hun Changqing because of the safety of the Cao family, or because of the strange emotions that have arisen deep in her heart due to her interactions with Hun Changqing in the past few days...
…
"Ahem"
A soft cough was like a breeze, reaching the ears of everyone present, causing everyone who was originally noisy to stop talking and look at the person who made the sound on the high platform. For a moment , the originally noisy square became very quiet.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone who is able to stand here. You have passed the second place selection. But you should also know that the next step is the most important part. Only if you can reach the end of this round will you be successful. The champion of this Dan meeting!”
When Xuan Kongzi saw that everyone was quiet, he stopped coughing and took a step forward. With a slight smile on his face, he waved his sleeves and started to speak. Then he pointed at the floating objects in the sky of the square, which were enough to accommodate Shitai, several people in the group, said.
"The stone platform in the sky is your stage for performance. I hope you can shine the most brilliant moments in your life there!"
The short words were like sparks detonating explosives. Suddenly, the whole world was boiling.
At this moment, the most grand gathering of alchemists has finally arrived.
Looking at the boiling square, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but smile. Looking at the entire continent, such an atmosphere can only be found when the Danhui is held, and Xuan Kongzi can also feel it from this warm atmosphere. Danta's increasing strength and status made him very happy.
"All contestants, come on. There are no rules for the final competition. Use your strength to refine your best elixir!"
Hearing Xuan Kongzi's old voice that resounded throughout the sky, the blood of the contestants in the square boiled, and then suddenly there were dense bursts of sound in the sky one after another, and I saw one after another suddenly coming from the square. Rushing upwards, flying towards the suspended stone platform.
For a time, the overwhelming figures made the sunlight pouring down from the sky stagnate.
Among the overwhelming crowd of people, Cao Ying was also among them. She randomly selected a spacious stone platform about six feet in size on the periphery, enough to accommodate four or five people, and sat down slowly, closing her eyes and relaxing. stand up.
As time went by, the chaos in the sky gradually stopped. All the contestants found their respective stone platforms and began to organize their things and prepare to start refining elixirs.
"Boom!"
Xuan Kongzi's eyes slowly swept over the stone platform in mid-air. After seeing that everyone was already seated, he looked up at the sky. Then he waved his sleeves and robes, and suddenly a clear bell sounded.
"The time has come, please raise the cauldron and refine the elixir!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After Xuan Kongzi said these words, the atmosphere in the world solidified instantly, and then the overwhelming medicine cauldron flashed out, and finally landed heavily on the stone platform, and the low sound of gold and iron continued to resound in the sky.
With the emergence of the medicine cauldron, a series of sounds were heard in the sky. Suddenly, various colorful flames rose up. Looking from a distance, they looked like fireworks, making the sky unusually bright. Gorgeous.
After Cao Ying summoned the medicine cauldron, she flicked her finger in her hand, and then a ball of red flames that stung the eyes slowly rose in her palm.
The flames were an extremely conspicuous bright red color, and even looked a bit richer than blood. This fire was called "Blood Demon Fireworks" because the Cao family gathered the blood of nearly a thousand fire-attributed monsters and blended it into Together, the fire attribute energy is extracted from it, and finally condensed into a flame.
Although the power is very impressive, and the Cao family spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to make it, it is still far inferior to the strange fire. This led to Cao Ying's obsession with the strange fire.
"well"
Cao Ying looked at the Blood Demon Fireworks in her hand, sighed softly, then slowly shook her head, calmed down her mood, and took out more than a dozen jade boxes. The jade box was opened immediately, and what was inside was precious medicinal herbs that exuded a strong medicinal fragrance.
Cao Ying looked at these medicinal materials, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she gently waved her jade hand. Three medicinal materials flew up from the jade box and fell into Cao Ying's hands. Then Cao Ying sprinkled the medicinal materials. After entering the cauldron, the flames were also thrown into it, and the alchemy was officially started.
…
Above the sky, many stone platforms were suspended. On the stone platforms, all the contestants were controlling the fire with solemn expressions and refining the elixirs in their respective medicine cauldrons. However, none of the spectators made a sound at this moment. The voices are all focused on watching these busy figures in the sky. The entire sky and square are silent at the moment.
Refining alchemy is an extremely time-consuming thing, and it often takes ten days and a half to make one.
Everyone present was very aware of this situation, so they did not become impatient because of the long wait. Those who could rush to Shengdan City to watch all had a certain degree of strength. This necessary patience, Still have to have it.
And under the gaze of countless eyes, time also passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.
During this period of time, many contestants have been refining the elixir, which has caused the world to be almost filled with a fragrance of elixir that is so strong that it cannot be dissolved, just by taking a sip. , these people watching the ceremony felt that some of the fatigue caused by the long wait had quietly dissipated.
Although more and more contestants have successfully refined elixirs, most of these elixirs are between the sixth and seventh grades. The earlier the elixirs are refined, the lower the grade. Until now. No one has refined an eighth-grade elixir and successfully induced the elixir.
However, this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. Instead, their eyes became even hotter, staring at the figure who was still busy on the stone platform, because they knew that the real climax of this elixir meeting would come next. The seventh-grade elixir had already appeared, and it was only a short distance away. The eighth grade is not far away.
Amid the countless expectant eyes, another ten days passed.
During this period of time, someone has successfully refined the eighth-grade elixir, which caused a calamity. The calamity appeared in two colors. It was an eighth-grade preliminary elixir, which was refined by Song Qing. In the end, Song Qing successfully resisted the calamity and completed the alchemy. At this time, he was temporarily ranked first.
Of course, some succeeded and some failed. In these days, people continued to retreat from the stone platform. Some looked excited, while others returned with ashen faces and were disappointed.
At this moment, there were only a dozen or so figures left on the stone platforms. Naturally, among them were the three alchemists brought by Gu Xun'er, as well as Old Man Mu Gu and Cao Ying.
At this moment, on a stone platform at the edge, Cao Ying was sitting cross-legged. At this moment, her porcelain-white cheeks became even paler and looked a little sick. What she was refining was an eighth-grade high-level elixir. .
She has a very proud temperament, so she wanted to use this alchemy meeting to completely advance to the eighth-level high-level alchemist. This also caused her soul to be slightly overdrawn because she was not proficient, but she did not Care, because she is about to succeed.
At this moment, Cao Ying's eyes were almost frozen in the medicine cauldron in front of her. Her handprints were constantly changing, and her majestic soul energy in the late spiritual realm was constantly pouring into the cauldron.
"Puff!"
As her handprints changed, Cao Ying's pale cheeks suddenly turned red, and immediately a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then all of it was injected into the medicine cauldron, and finally merged with a pill rolling in the flames.
"rise!"
When Cao Ying saw this, a ray of light suddenly burst out from her eyes, her jade hands suddenly formed another hand seal, and she drank softly at the same time.
"Boom!"
As Cao Ying's shout fell, a bright and strong light suddenly appeared in the medicine cauldron like a sun, and a terrifying energy fluctuation surged out with a bang, which could withstand the calcining of the strange fire. The medicinal cauldron exploded into countless fragments under the strong fluctuations.
"laugh!"
The medicine cauldron exploded, and a green beam of light that was ten feet long burst out and shot straight into the sky. Wherever the light beam passed, clouds and mist suddenly surged up. In the blink of an eye, a huge beam of nearly a hundred meters was formed. thunderclouds, and these thunderclouds are colorful.
In an instant, the entire venue erupted into a horrifying and violent noise, and the entire venue was boiling, and the three giants on the high seats also stood up from their positions with a sudden movement. , there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Ying'er... refined an eighth-grade high-level elixir?!"
The beautiful woman Xuan Yi stared at the rolling thunderclouds with wide eyes and said in disbelief.
"It seems that Ying'er had an adventure in the alchemy realm. Her soul broke through to the late spiritual realm. However, she was able to successfully refine an eighth-grade high-level elixir just after she broke through. It seems that her talent is higher than I imagine it is even more terrifying, it may not be long before she surpasses us old guys!"
The leader, Xuan Kongzi, was not as rude as the other two, and his face was relatively calm and analyzed calmly, but the other two still heard the indescribable joy from his words.
After all, Cao Ying is Xuan Kongzi's disciple, and which master would be unhappy when he sees his disciple become successful?
…
The sky is majestic, seven-colored pills are entrenched in the sky, and a vast thunder power permeates out of it.
On the stone platform, Cao Ying stretched out her hand to wipe away the blood on the corners of her mouth. Her pale cheeks looked at the calamity above the sky, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
"Senior, you have lived up to your trust..."
Cao Ying's voice echoed melodiously in the sea of souls. Although there was a sense of weakness in the voice, there was also an indescribable joy and confidence. The seven-color pill tribulation appeared, and Cao Ying's top ten was already a certainty. It is even possible to achieve first place. Cao Ying's instructions from Soul Changqing can be said to have been achieved perfectly.
After Cao Ying's voice came out, the sea of souls fell into a deathly silence. After a moment, a faint voice finally came out slowly.
"good…"
After hearing this voice, Cao Ying's face couldn't help but raise upwards, forming a thrilling and beautiful arc. Coupled with her slightly pale cheeks at the moment, a kind of morbid beauty emerged spontaneously.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but after hearing these affirmative words from Hun Changqing, Cao Ying found that she seemed to be much happier and more excited than when the calamity came just now. She couldn't help herself!
