Chapter 332: Alchemy competition, Luo Chen under the gaze of thousands!

Five days later!

The first round of arena battles, ended!

Luo Chen stood in front of Tao Wan, looking at their ranking.

"Fourth?"

Tao Wan sighed, "Having fourth is already the result of their best efforts, even I personally made a move once."

Following her gaze, Luo Chen looked at the main force of the arena battle.

Tao Daonan no longer had a ruddy complexion, and his aged state became more obvious.

It is said that he personally had a fight with Chu Kui.

In that battle, he was at the Foundation Establishment 9th layer realm and actually didn't take down the other party.

Instead, he suffered not-so-light injuries.

In addition, Qi Lingyun and Tan Xiao were also not in a good state.

The former's right arm was hanging limply, and the latter's spiritual power fluctuation was floating, presenting a state of deficit.

Under these circumstances, being able to kill from fifth to fourth.

I think it also had something to do with Tao Wan personally making a move and winning against another True Inheritor disciple, Du Changfeng.

It's just that a Great True Inheritor personally making a move in the first round is indeed a bit of a drop in status.

Of course, winning is a good thing!

This means that with a high ranking, there will be enough time to observe opponents and adjust oneself when the True Inheritor sword fighting comes in the third round.

"This is the specific ranking, you can take a look."

Actually, there is no need to give a list.

Luo Chen only needs to look at the height of each high platform to observe which ones are ranked first.

First, it is still the Qi Qi Shixiong of Qing Dan Valley, Dan Yangzi.

With his own strength, he faced wheel battles one after another and still kept the first place, showing that his combat power is indeed not bad.

At least, his spiritual power is thick enough to withstand consumption.

Second, it is He Yuanqing of Yu Xuan.

Third, Shangguan Yan.

Fourth, Tao Wan.

Fifth, Du Changfeng.

Sixth, Fu Li

"I need to get into the top three. Luo Chen, can you help me?" Tao Wan looked at Luo Chen with burning eyes, her gaze filled with hope.

Judging from the current ranking, wanting to enter the top three is not simple.

The second round is divided into three competitions.

The top five win, the bottom four lose.

Only the winners can move their rankings.

And they have to compare with opponents of similar rankings.

At least, they have to keep the top three in every round to allow Tao Wan's current fourth ranking to move forward by one.

This is very difficult!

However, Luo Chen just smiled slightly.

"Wait for the good news!"

As the words fell, the high platform in the middle shone brightly.

An old man with white hair and beard descended from the Heavenly Palace.

It was the elder of the Grand Pill Institute!

He looked around, without too much nonsense, and said directly:

"The first match of the second round, basic pill technique competition, starts now!"

"Please take the stage, alchemists!"

Under the expectant gaze of more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Tao family, Luo Chen leaped out and landed in front of a pill tripod.

He reached out and touched the seemingly transparent glazed sub-tripod, his gaze sweeping toward the other alchemists who were landing on the stage one after another.

The first one was Dan Yangzi.

The other party's face was solemn and pale, showing that the wheel battles during this period had consumed him greatly.

Such a state is not suitable for alchemy!

The second was Xuan Yunzi He Yun.

Facing Luo Chen's gaze, the other party smiled slightly, which was quite friendly.

Luo Chen thought of the other party's background, which might be related to his predecessor's opportunity, and could be considered an inheritance.

He also showed a kind smile.

It was also at this time that he sensed a malicious intent.

Turning his head to look, Huang Hezi was not far away, within a range of five feet.

The other party was looking at him with resentful eyes.

A sound transmission was even transmitted undisguisedly.

"Little thief, I will let Tao Wan know how huge the gap is between you and me!"

Calling me a thief, you are really not respecting yourself as an elder!

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and didn't reply at all.

The next moment, the gaze of the Grand Pill Institute elder fell fiercely on Huang Hezi.

"The alchemy competition is imminent, no whispering or spiritual sense transmission is allowed."

"If there is another offense, the qualification for the competition will be directly canceled!"

Receiving the reprimand, Huang Hezi couldn't help but shiver.

That's right!

During alchemy, the most taboo is to disturb.

If one could release spiritual sense unscrupulously, wouldn't one be able to easily interfere with others?

The alchemy competition of Qing Dan Valley is just a literary fight, not a so-called martial fight.

It compares speed and pill grade.

Those means must not be used.

With this interruption, Luo Chen was too lazy to look at others.

This second round, he was aiming for the championship.

He had taken all kinds of benefits from Tao Wan, and he should do his best.

If the other party could really win the Dao Seed position, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his future cultivation.

Portions of familiar or unfamiliar medicinal herbs were placed neatly in front of Luo Chen and others after the Grand Pill Institute elder waved his sleeves.

"The first match, basic pill technique competition, decomposing and refining materials. Each type of material is equipped with three portions."

"Only one finished product is needed. However! It must meet the corresponding standards to be considered qualified."

"The specific standards have already been written on the paper."

"The winner is decided by speed!"

"Now, start!"

Almost in an instant, three second-tier alchemists moved.

Facing familiar medicinal herbs, they started directly.

From easy to difficult, it can increase confidence and shorten time.

But in the field, six people did not rush, but looked at the five medicinal herbs in front of them.

Luo Chen was among them.

Of the five medicinal herbs, four were ones he had handled.

First-tier Zhanxing Grass, first-tier Tianqing Aloe, first-tier Red Flame Lingzhi, second-tier Blue Hong Yanyu.

The other one, he had not handled, but he had understood it through various atlases and alchemy secret books.

It is called Guiyuan Cicada Slough.

It is the slough of a second-tier demon beast, called Cicada Slough, but it is actually not the slough of a cicada bird, just similar in shape.

Handling this medicinal material is also very simple, at least three pill techniques can handle it alone.

But if one wants to meet the standard of "clear and transparent, original energy not lost" set by the Grand Pill Institute elder, it won't work.

At least, two other first-tier medicinal herbs are needed for neutralization to achieve this kind of effect.

Luo Chen frowned slightly.

Qing Dan Valley did not provide corresponding auxiliary medicinal herbs?

However, how could the other party set a topic that is impossible to complete?

His gaze swept over the other four medicinal herbs.

Various medicinal properties emerged in his mind one by one.

Zhanxing Grass is poisonous.

Tianqing Aloe has mild medicinal properties and has a special effect of healing wounds.

Red Flame Lingzhi has domineering medicinal power, often burning other auxiliary materials with its scorching medicinal properties.

Blue Hong Yanyu contains jade smoke, which is one of the main materials for refining Jade Dew Pill, and its nature is extremely cold.

"If I use Red Flame as a base, burn away the poison of Zhanxing, supplement it with extreme cold jade smoke, and then neutralize it with Tianqing Aloe, the spirit liquid obtained seems to be equivalent to the two auxiliary materials needed to handle Guiyuan Cicada Slough?"

"No!"

"In this way, there are conflicts, but it seems to be similar."

"What if handled simultaneously?"

Faintly, Luo Chen had already found the solution.

His gaze swept across the field, and among the six people who had not moved before, three more had moved.

Only Luo Chen, Dan Yangzi, and Xuan Yunzi were left thinking.

But immediately, Dan Yangzi made a move!

His first action was to boil the Red Flame Lingzhi with earth fire, supplemented by the Cloud Transformation Hand.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen finally confirmed his thoughts.

Sure enough!

This first match is not a pure pill technique competition at all.

Among them, there is also a test of pharmacology.

Sometimes, one can draw inferences from one instance and use other people's stones to attack jade!

However, Dan Yangzi's order of putting in medicine doesn't seem to be the optimal solution?

As a great sect of pill path.

The alchemy atmosphere of Qing Dan Valley is very strong.

Even disciples without alchemy talent will mostly learn some corresponding alchemy knowledge in advance during the Qi Refining period.

Even if not for alchemy, it is to prepare for various tasks related to alchemy in Qing Dan Valley.

Therefore.

For this second round, although there are no colorful, earth-shattering battles.

But many disciples also came to watch excitedly, not wanting to miss any match.

Currently, it is the first match.

Everyone knows in their hearts that it is handling medicinal materials.

This kind of thing is not difficult.

Some wealthy Qi Refining disciples often practice privately.

Seeing the several medicinal herbs given by the Grand Pill Institute elder, they subconsciously discussed.

"Hiss!"

Someone hissed first!

Then, there were various discussions.

"The exam questions given this time are so difficult!"

"Yes, three first-tier medicinal herbs, Zhanxing Grass is highly poisonous, Tianqing Aloe skin is extremely hard, Red Flame Lingzhi has domineering medicinal properties, any one of them needs to be handled carefully, and the time required is very long!"

"These three are fine, just take a long time. Look at those two second-tier medicinal herbs, one is mineral, one is demon beast material, although both can be used as medicine, the processing is extremely complex."

"I know Blue Hong Yanyu, I heard that it must be extracted with the Jade-Folding Hand to get the essence jade smoke?"

"At least it must be a Jade-Folding Hand that has entered the hall and entered the room to take out a wisp of jade smoke."

"Strange, doesn't the processing of Guiyuan Cicada Slough also require two auxiliary materials? Did the elder forget to give them?"

Amidst the discussions.

Nine alchemists on the stage, three moved instantly.

Skilled movements proved their confidence in handling limited medicinal materials.

"From easy to difficult is the experience summarized from many alchemy competitions, unbreakable!"

"These three seniors seem to have studied the records of previous competitions."

"Eh, why are the other six motionless?"

On the high platform, six alchemists were motionless.

This scene.

In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention.

The Grand Pill Institute elder stood in the center of the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the nine people.

Looking at the three who moved first, he cursed inwardly, "Stupid things!"

His gaze swept over the remaining six, nodding secretly.

"They have some knowledge, not confused by the so-called experience of past competitions. In our alchemy, how can there be any saying of from easy to difficult? There is only the supreme truth of alchemy that follows pharmacology."

"I don't know, among these six, who will think of a solution for Guiyuan Cicada Slough first?"

"Dan Yangzi has extremely high alchemy talent, acting on intuition, it definitely won't stump him."

"Huang Hezi is old enough, experienced and knowledgeable, and should also be able to think of a reasonable solution."

"For Guiyuan Cicada Slough, although I didn't give auxiliary materials, these four medicinal herbs can at least combine three solutions to solve its medicinal properties. It depends on which one you can realize."

His eyes swept over Luo Chen.

Seeing that while thinking, he actually had the energy to look at others.

"It's just a loose cultivator alchemist, the foundation is not solid, pharmacology is unclear, and he luckily got a Dao name."

"At this critical moment, if he can't think of anything, he tries to look at others' solutions?"

"This is not a fool, this is an act worse than a fool, pretending to understand without understanding, stealing others' results... Is this kind of person worthy of entering my Qing Dan Valley's alchemy competition?"

In his heart, the Grand Pill Institute elder already disliked Luo Chen extremely.

Along with him, he disliked Tao Wan, who invited Luo Chen.

A distant glance, cold and disgusted!

Tao Wan did not notice this look.

At this moment, all her attention was on Luo Chen.

Seeing that among the nine, three moved first, and he remained motionless.

Because, there were other people who, like Luo Chen, did not move.

Seeing Dan Yangzi among the six, the first action, her heart was still calm.

Qi Qi Shixiong has terrifying alchemy talent, ranking first among the Seven Sons of Qing Dan.

If it weren't for his Dao Seed position, he would have been specially invited into the Grand Pill Institute long ago and become an elder of the Grand Pill Institute.

However.

When she saw Xuan Yunzi, Huang Hezi, and two others, successively making moves, drawing earth fire to boil medicinal materials.

She couldn't sit still.

The Tao family cultivators behind also finally couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"What is the guest Dan Chenzi doing?"

"Does he know how to refine pills, is he staying up there to make a fool of himself?"

"If it really doesn't work, handle one medicinal material, handle one!"

"Clan Leader, didn't you tell him the various experience tips of the alchemy competition before?"

Tao Yisheng's face flushed red.

He ignored the emotions of the crowd and roared at the back.

"Shut up!"

"Brother Luo's alchemy attainments are beyond your imagination, just watch carefully."

In the end, he added another sentence.

"Noisy!"

Perhaps because Tao Wan and the Clan Leader were supporting him, during this period, Tao Yisheng's Clan Leader prestige had gradually had a few rudiments.

Under his reprimand, those Foundation Establishment true cultivators who were older than him could only glare and shut up.

Tao Wan listened to the discussion behind, and was indeed uneasy before.

Even a bit resentful of Luo Chen, if it really doesn't work, handle a few common medicinal herbs first.

However, the younger brother's inexplicable strong confidence in Luo Chen seemed to infect him.

Looking at Luo Chen's back, her slender fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.

"You are sure, right!"

At this moment, on the high platform.

Earth fire came out of the cave, the fire was raging.

Various medicinal materials were processed, emitting strange fragrances, making the nostrils tremble.

Nine second-tier alchemists, eight had already moved.

The only one who didn't move, Luo Chen, became the focus of everyone's attention.

Not a hero, but like a clown!

Under the gaze of thousands, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

Amidst a burst of exclamations, he threw the Guiyuan Cicada Slough directly into the glazed sub-tripod.

"What is he doing!"

"Is he stupid? This is the most difficult medicinal material, shouldn't it be left for last?"

"It's not a matter of order, but without auxiliary materials, is he trying to destroy this second-tier material?"

It was also at this moment.

The Grand Pill Institute elder, who had extremely despised Luo Chen, widened his eyes suddenly.

"No way?"
