Chapter 615 Alchemy Competition
This is considered an investment in the future, and Master Ling Xiao is very optimistic about Han Changming's future.
Han Changming was stunned for a moment, then showed excitement, bowed and said, "Junior is willing."
"Okay, you will be considered my registered disciple for the time being. Return to the Righteous Alliance, and then a formal apprenticeship ceremony will be held to take you into my sect."
Master Ling Xiao said with a smile and a gentle tone.
"Yes, disciple Han Changming pays homage to Master."
Han Changming bowed and saluted. There was no conflict between becoming a disciple and his family. Master Ling Xiao did not establish a sect, but there were many forces at his command.
There are many benefits for him to become a disciple of Master Ling Xiao. First, his progress in alchemy will be faster. With the guidance of a famous teacher, rapid progress is a matter of course. In the future, Han Changming will be more generous in taking out middle-grade elixirs. As a It’s not surprising that Master Ling Xiao’s disciple took out a middle-grade elixir! Second, by becoming a disciple of Master Ling Xiao, the trouble caused by Han Duanrong will not be considered trouble. If Black and White Wuchang really wants to cause trouble for the Han family, it will be with Master Ling Xiao.
Master Ling Xiao nodded happily and said: "Let's go out first! You have a good night's rest. Tomorrow is the official day of the alchemy conference."
Back at his residence, Han Changming did not see Han Benfu and Han Duanrong. There was a transmission note floating in the residence. The transmission note was left by Han Benfu, telling Han Changming not to worry about them as they wandered around Sifang Island.
Han Changming walked into the basement, sat down cross-legged, meditated and adjusted his breath. He was very tired in the past half month and needed a good rest.
One night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, as it was getting dark, Han Changming walked out of his residence. Han Benfu and Han Duanrong were sitting in the stone pavilion chatting.
"Dad (grandfather), the alchemy conference starts today."
Han Benfu and Han Duanrong said in unison, with faces full of joy.
"Let's go! Let's go find Master Ling Xiao."
Han Changming and the other three came to Master Ling Xiao's residence. Master Ling Xiao was talking to Fairy Qinglian. When they saw Han Changming, Master Ling Xiao and Fairy Qinglian showed joy on their faces.
"Disciple pays homage to Master."
Han Changming bowed and saluted with a respectful expression.
After hearing this, Han Benfu and Han Duanrong were shocked. When did Han Changming become a disciple of Master Ling Xiao?
Fairy Qinglian smiled happily and said: "Junior Brother Han, we have to perform well today and bring glory to the master."
Master Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go! Let's go there!"
When I walked out of my residence, there were few people on the street.
After a cup of tea, they came to a square paved with red floor tiles. Ten circular arenas were built on the square. Each arena was more than ten feet in size. Ten red cauldrons were placed on the ten arenas.
The red cauldron has three legs and two ears. The body of the cauldron is engraved with three flame patterns. The aura flows erratically. It is obviously a magic weapon.
He took out ten magic weapon-level alchemy furnaces at once, showing the wealth of the Nangong family.
Thousands of monks gathered in Red Stone Square, ranging from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul.
Nangong Yunyan and more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators were sitting on the podium with solemn expressions.
"Behave well and pass first as a teacher."
Master Ling Xiao said hello and strode towards the podium.
"Yuehua, it's almost time, let's announce the start!"
Nangong Yunyan ordered.
Nangong Yuehua flew to a ring and said loudly: "In this alchemy conference, each person will have three materials to make the alchemy in front of everyone to ensure fairness and justice. It will be protected by formations to avoid interference from outsiders. Participants can rest assured Refining elixirs is limited to seven days."
"Contestants are now on the stage. If they want to participate in the alchemy conference, they must be alchemists who can refine middle-grade elixirs. Alchemists who cannot refine middle-grade elixirs will have to pay their own expenses."
"My little sister Song Qingqing should be qualified to participate in this alchemy conference!"
A female voice like a silver bell sounded, and Song Qingqing flew to a ring with a calm expression.
Han Changming and Fairy Qinglian each flew to a ring, and many alchemy monks flew to the ring. They were all famous third-level alchemists.
Han Changming's eyes fell on an old man in green robes who was hunched over. He had a square face and small eyes, was tall and thin, and had a mean look.
Zhao Yunle, the third disciple of Sanjue Zhenren, was nicknamed Zhao Tuozi because of his hunchback.
There are many third-level alchemists in the outer sea, but there are not many third-level alchemists who can refine high-grade elixirs.
There are more than thirty third-level alchemists participating in the alchemy conference, and some of them want to show their faces and show their existence, so it’s okay to pay for it out of their own pocket.
Han Changming found that Han Wenqing was also here, and he saw Han Chaoyang on the podium.
Nangong Yuehua distributed a golden jade box to each contestant. Han Changming took out a green gourd containing spiritual water and gave it to the Nangong family children for inspection. The Nangong family children found no abnormalities. Many alchemists took out After drinking Lingshui, Zhao Tuozi did the same.
At the beginning of the competition, a thick red light curtain appeared on each of the ten arenas, with hundreds of butterfly patterns on the surface of the light curtain.
Han Changming did not refine the elixir immediately, but sat down cross-legged and meditated to adjust his breathing.
Nangong Yunyan and other Yuanying monks started chatting and making friends with each other.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, after years of teaching by you, I should be able to outshine others. She should be able to give you a surprise at this alchemy conference!"
Master Hongyun's tone was warm. Master Lingxiao was well-known overseas for his alchemy skills. As his disciple, Fairy Qinglian must be quite accomplished in alchemy.
Master Ling Xiao's eyes fell on Song Anruo and he said with a smile: "This girl is really working hard, but in my opinion, the first place in this alchemy conference probably belongs to Song Xiaoyou from Wanfa Sect."
"Qingqing has only learned a little bit. Judging from my own experience, Taiyang Zhenren's great-great-grandson is still more powerful."
Song Anruo said modestly, her eyes falling on a young man in a green shirt with a fair face.
The young man in green shirt has a short and fat figure, a round face, small eyes, and a simple and honest face, giving people an impression of being approachable.
Yang Sen, a descendant of Zhenren Taiyang, is ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List. It is said that he has a wood-attributed heavenly spirit root and is proficient in alchemy.
Taiyang Zhenren is proficient in the art of repelling insects and controlling beasts, but he knows nothing about alchemy. He hired high-level alchemists to teach Yang Sen how to make alchemy.
"Mrs. Song is joking. I don't know anything about alchemy. I am no better than your Song family. Your Song family is famous for its alchemy. Little friend Song can be a disciple of your sect leader, so he must be special."
Master Taiyang said disapprovingly.
"You don't have to be modest. We, the descendants of the Han family, are just here to show our support and watch the performance of your disciples."
Han Chaoyang said with a smile. He changed his tone, looked at Master Ling Xiao, and asked casually: "Fellow Daoist Ling, why did you bring Friend Daoist Han here to participate in the alchemy conference?"
"His attainments in alchemy are not low. I have already accepted him as a disciple. I will officially take him under my wing when he returns to the Righteous Alliance."
Master Ling Xiao looked pleased and said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Ling's new disciple?"
Master Hongyun's eyes flashed with surprise, and his gaze fell on Han Changming.
Master Ling Xiao's attainments in alchemy are not low, and Han Changming must be worthy of being accepted as his disciple.
Han Chaoyang was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Ling, I never heard you talk about this last time."
Master Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I have recently accepted him as a disciple. Fellow Daoist Han doesn't know it's normal."
After sitting quietly for a cup of tea, Han Changming opened his eyes and opened the golden jade box. Inside was a golden storage bag with a butterfly pattern embroidered on it.
He poured out the contents of the storage bag. In addition to three alchemy materials, there was also a blue jade slip.
Han Changming put the jade slip between his eyebrows and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, he withdrew from consciousness.
What he wants to refine is Jin Yun Dan, which uses third-level demon elixir as the main medicine and more than twenty kinds of elixirs as auxiliary medicine.
Han Changming poured a spell into the red alchemy furnace. The flame pattern on the surface of the cauldron suddenly brightened, twisting and deforming like a living thing, and the temperature suddenly increased.
The preheating was almost done, and Han Changming threw the materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, including the spiritual water.
Half an hour later, a strong medicinal fragrance floated out, Han Changming's method changed, and the flames suddenly dissipated.
After a while, he opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and stepped forward to see seven pale golden pills inside.
Han Changming put the elixir into a golden jade bottle, sat down cross-legged, and meditated to adjust his breathing.
He had plenty of time, so he was not in a hurry to continue refining elixirs.
Half a day later, Han Changming opened his eyes and continued to refine the elixir.
This time, he refined eighteen Golden Cloud Pills.
Han Changming put the elixir into a golden jade bottle and meditated to adjust his breathing.
Other alchemists produced pills one after another. Song Qingqing refined ten Jinyun Pills in the first furnace, and twenty-two Jinyun Pills in the second furnace. Zhao Tuozi refined three Jinyun Pills in the first furnace, and then refined the pills in the second furnace. Fifteen Golden Cloud Pills were refined in the furnace. Qinglian Fairy refined seven Golden Cloud Pills in the first furnace and fifteen Golden Cloud Pills in the second furnace.
Han Wenqing's performance was relatively poor. There were two Jin Yun Dan in the first furnace and twelve Jin Yun Dan in the second furnace. The situation of Buzui Sanren was a little better.
Judging from the current situation, Han Changming ranks second.
"Who is this guy? The rate of elixir formation is too high!"
"He is following Master Ling Xiao and should be a member of the Righteous Alliance."
"I have met him. His name is Han Changming. Master Ling Xiao taught him how to make alchemy. Fellow Daoist Han is very accomplished in alchemy."
······
The monks who were watching were talking a lot and commenting on the alchemist on the stage.
Yang Sen looked solemnly at Song Qingqing and Han Changming. From the current point of view, the level of alchemy between these two people was not low.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, my disciple is very capable. Judging from the success rate, he is not much worse than Xiaoyou Song."
Master Hongyun was a little surprised and said that the elixir recipe was provided by the Nangong family. None of these contestants had ever refined Jin Yun Dan. The first time they refined Jin Yun Dan, they could achieve such a high rate of elixir formation. No wonder Master Ling Xiao would Accept him as a disciple.
Master Ling Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "There is still one last furnace, it is too early to say this now."
Half a day later, Han Changming began to refine the third furnace of elixir. He inserted a magic formula into the alchemy furnace, and a red flame emerged out of thin air, wrapping around the alchemy furnace.
He threw the materials into the alchemy furnace and poured most of the bottle of spiritual water into the alchemy furnace.
Han Changming has been wearing the Calming Lock for many years, and his spiritual consciousness has been slowly growing. His spiritual consciousness is no worse than the Dzogchen Dzogchen. He uses his spiritual consciousness to observe the situation inside the alchemy furnace.
Under the high-temperature calcination, the demon pill and elixir showed signs of melting, slowly turning into a pool of golden juice, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Han Changming's spiritual consciousness controlled the golden juice to divide into multiple groups. More than twenty groups of golden liquid floated in the alchemy furnace. The golden liquid slowly solidified and turned into golden pills.
Some of the golden pills slowly showed signs of being burnt, turning into black charcoal.
Less than half an hour later, Han Changming's magic formula changed, and the flames at the bottom of the alchemy furnace suddenly disappeared.
The eyes of Master Ling Xiao and other Nascent Soul cultivators all fell on Han Changming. They all wanted to see how many middle-grade elixirs Han Changming could refine.
Han Changming took a deep breath, stepped forward, opened the lid of the cauldron and took a look. There were eight pale golden pills lying inside, each pill had elixir patterns.
His face showed a deep joy. With eight middle-grade elixirs, this result should not be bad.
Han Changming put eight middle-grade Jin Yun Dan into a cyan porcelain bottle. He refined a total of thirty-five Jin Yun Dan, eight of which were medium quality.
At this time, Song Qingqing had also refined the third batch of elixirs. She walked forward quickly. There were ten Jin Yun Dan inside, and each Jin Yun Dan had elixir patterns.
She took a breath and put Jin Yun Dan into a green jade bottle.
Seeing Song Qingqing take out ten middle-grade Jin Yun Dan, Song Anruo's face showed a hint of joy. At present, Song Qingqing occupies the first place.
Using three ingredients, Fairy Qinglian refined thirty-three Golden Cloud Pills and four middle-grade Golden Cloud Pills.
Zhao Tuozi refined thirty-eight Jin Yun Dan, including three middle-grade Jin Yun Dan.
Bu Zui Sanren refined a total of twenty-five Jin Yun Dan and two medium-grade Jin Yun Dan. Han Wenqing refined a total of seventeen Jin Yun Dan, all of which were ordinary elixirs.
Nangong Yuehua personally stepped forward to inspect the elixirs refined by the contestants.
Song Qingqing is temporarily ranked first, Han Changming is temporarily ranked second, Qinglian Fairy is temporarily ranked third, and Zhao Tuozi is temporarily ranked fourth.
Han Changming walked down from the ring, and the other contestants flew to the ring and started making elixirs.
The day passed quickly, the sky turned from bright to dark, and the monks gathered in Red Stone Square were unwilling to disperse.
Han Changming, Han Benfu and Han Duanrong were among the crowd, staring closely at the alchemist on the stage.
In less than half a day, the results of the second round of contestants came out. Yang Sen refined a total of twenty-nine Jin Yun Dan, including four medium-grade Jin Yun Dan.
Li Yu refined twenty-five Jin Yun Dan and one medium-grade Jin Yun Dan.
The alchemy conference lasted for four days and four nights. More than thirty third-level alchemists competed on the same stage. Han Changming ranked second with excellent results, Fairy Qinglian ranked third, and Song Qingqing won the first place.
Nangong Yunyan flew to a ring, and ten alchemists including Han Changming stood in front of her.
"Our Nangong family is true to our word. The top ten in the alchemy conference will receive generous rewards. Now we will distribute the rewards."
Nangong Yunyan waved her sleeves, and Nangong Yuehua stepped forward, took out the prize, and handed it to Han Changming and others in person.
Han Changming got a top-grade defensive magic weapon, Fairy Qinglian got a pot of fourth-level spiritual wine, and two disciples of Master Ling Xiao advanced to the top three. He had a smile on his face.
