Chapter 334: Am I really not as good as Dan Chenzi?

On the alchemy competition high platform.

A scorching atmosphere, following Luo Chen's successful processing of the Guiyuan Cicada Slough, spread uncontrollably.

Every alchemist's heart became heavy.

Someone, has already walked ahead!

In the field, the most anxious were the three alchemists who chose from easy to difficult and processed first-tier medicinal herbs in advance.

They had already processed Zhanxing Grass, Tianqing Aloe, and Red Flame Lingzhi.

Then, they were stumped when facing two second-tier medicinal herbs.

Blue Hong Yanyu is still easy to say.

But how to process Guiyuan Cicada Slough is a huge problem in front of them.

Not everyone can use two purposes at once.

They naturally couldn't monitor the refining process of Luo Chen and Dan Yangzi and others throughout the process while processing the medicinal materials in their hands.

Even Xuan Yunzi, at that time, only realized that he had taken a wrong path through the tip of the iceberg revealed during Luo Chen's processing.

Then, re-analyzed pharmacology and walked on that path of Luo Chen.

The benefit of this is that the direction is correct, but the speed is slower.

But others.

Didn't have such good luck.

They had already missed the opportunity for Luo Chen to process Guiyuan Cicada Slough.

They couldn't learn even if they wanted to.

For a time, these three predecessors were frozen there.

Among the remaining few.

The alchemist of the Fu family looked at the Guiyuan Cicada Slough that had failed to be processed in the glazed sub-tripod and fell into deep thought.

He first looked at Luo Chen, then at the unhurried Dan Yangzi, and finally at Xuan Yunzi.

For a long time, he made a choice.

A total of three portions of materials, failed once, the error tolerance rate was already very low.

Process the other four types of materials into corresponding finished products first.

Then, use the last portion to try to process Guiyuan Cicada Slough.

As for the method, he had already realized a few points from Xuan Yunzi.

This can be considered learning from Luo Chen.

Compared to his calm decision, another person was not so calm.

Looking at Luo Chen, who was enjoying the worship of thousands, Huang Hezi looked down at the Guiyuan Cicada Slough he had processed.

The original energy was retained for more than half.

However, the Cicada Slough did not achieve the degree of "clear and transparent" at all.

In other words, it contained a large amount of impurities!

Undoubtedly, this is a failed product.

It cannot be used for medicine!

"How could it be like this?"

"Clearly from the perspective of pharmacology, my processing method is correct!"

"Where exactly did it go wrong?"

"Why could Dan Chenzi succeed? Why could he succeed!"

"In terms of age, qualifications, and background, he shouldn't be the first to succeed!"

The furious Huang Hezi stood there, his old body actually trembling a bit.

So much so that even the decision to change his thinking and ensure the four portions of materials in front could not be made.

The reason he was so uncomposed was naturally because, in the field of alchemy he was most proud of, he had been dealt a heavy blow by the rogue cultivator Luo Chen, whom he had completely looked down upon.

This kind of blow, for Huang Hezi who dedicated his life to alchemy.

It was truly unacceptable!

Especially when Dan Yangzi completed the processing of Guiyuan Cicada Slough and handed it to the elder for the second time, and was judged qualified.

His mentality was a bit unstable.

"In this first round, I considered myself not weaker than anyone, and I was aiming for the first place."

"Why now, have I fallen to this point?"

No one told him the answer.

In this world, some people have talent, some have "opportunities," and some have the mentality of being decisive.

If none of these three are present, then one's achievements can be seen at a glance.

The Grand Pill Institute elder glanced at the confused Huang Hezi and shook his head imperceptibly.

Although he is a second-tier alchemist, he only obtained the Dao name of the Seven Sons of Qing Dan after more than two hundred years old.

Truly excellent alchemists would have been specially invited into the Grand Pill Institute at this age.

This Huang Hezi!

It's really a bit lacking!

"Instead, this Dan Chenzi's alchemy foundation is too terrifying!"

In his eyes, in the eyes of the thousands of Qing Dan Valley disciples watching the competition, Luo Chen's pair of hands were processing the remaining three portions of medicinal materials as if slow but fast.

Sometimes like a butterfly wearing flowers, dancing gracefully.

Sometimes like a clever girl washing sand, lightly washing clothes.

The pill technique that seemed to have no trace of fireworks, when falling on the Red Flame Lingzhi, was affectionate, as if the spirit formula was displayed, steaming delicious food, and clouds were steaming.

Processing Guiyuan Cicada Slough, Luo Chen spent a full half an hour.

During this time, he also processed Zhanxing Grass with the Foundation-Cultivating Hand.

Now, when processing the remaining three types of medicinal materials, his speed soared instantly.

When all the processed materials were handed to the Grand Pill Institute elder.

Only another stick of incense time had passed.

"Zhanxing Grass, perfect!"

"Tianqing Aloe, perfect!"

"Red Flame Lingzhi, perfect!"

"Blue Hong Yanyu, perfect!"

"Guiyuan Cicada Slough, perfect!"

Looking at the relaxed Luo Chen, the Grand Pill Institute elder took a deep breath.

"Five types of materials, all perfect finished products, total time used first!"

"Tao family guest Dan Chenzi, ranked first in the pill technique competition!"

At the first moment he gave the immediate evaluation.

Countless people waited with bated breath.

When the "first place" was spoken, the breath that was held was suddenly exhaled.

Luo Chen stood on the high platform, his excellent eyesight allowed him to see the squirming lips of countless disciples outside.

Although blocked by the soundproofing array, most cultivators know small techniques like lip-reading.

Even if he couldn't hear it, but at this moment outside, it must have been booming and reaching the clouds!

This is good!

Enough shock can make his name, Dan Chenzi, famous.

A mere Fire Spirit Lord cannot dominate in the Foundation Establishment period.

Only the Dao name Dan Chenzi can allow him to break away from the realm limit and communicate with higher-level existences with the noble status of an alchemy master!

And this is just the beginning!

"Since it's finished, go down and rest! There are two more matches, which are also the two matches that consume the most energy, you must be prepared."

The Grand Pill Institute elder said so.

Luo Chen clasped his hands and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for the elder's guidance, the junior will go down and prepare."

Seeing him so polite, the Grand Pill Institute elder couldn't help but stroke his beard and show a kind smile.

The disgust and dislike from before had long since disappeared!

Reaching out to open the array, he said: "Second round, keep up the good work!"

Luo Chen nodded.

This old man is actually quite good.

Clearly, he is not an alchemist of Qing Dan Valley, and he won against people of their sect, but he didn't dislike him, but encouraged him with good words.

The moment he stepped out of the array, countless gazes fell on him.

If it were an ordinary person, I fear they would feel like they were on their back.

But he smiled freely, and the spiritual energy cloud gathered under his feet, floating toward the Tao family high platform.

Wherever he passed, countless gazes followed.

The Great True Inheritors on the other high platforms were also looking at him with different meanings.

Or surprised, or examining, or curious, or disgusted.

Among them, there was no lack of those interested in him.

Of course, the malicious gazes that were furious and angry, Luo Chen could also feel.

He ignored them all, and amidst the fluttering wide sleeves, he had already stepped into a burst of cheers and congratulations.

Crossing the crowd.

The woman in a high position smiled at him.

Luo Chen nodded slightly, then went to the quiet room in the back.

Not long after Luo Chen left.

On the alchemy stage, the second place also appeared quickly.

It was Dan Yangzi.

He completed the processing of Guiyuan Cicada Slough second with a neutral, unhurried method.

This most difficult step was completed.

The difficulty of the subsequent few materials was not great for him.

It only took a little more effort than Luo Chen, and he gave the finished product.

When handing over the materials, the Grand Pill Institute elder looked at him with a complex expression.

"Why bother!"

Dan Yangzi remained silent and walked down directly.

In his expression, it seemed that he didn't show any annoyance because he was behind Luo Chen.

"Next, it should be Xuan Yunzi, and then Fu Huai!"

"It's this Huang Hezi, clearly the foundation is very solid, but because the heart is chaotic, the speed came to the end. I don't know where these years of alchemy have been refined."

The disturbances outside had nothing to do with Luo Chen at this moment.

He looked curiously at a spirit incense specially sent by Tao Yisheng.

Leisurely Fragrance!

A type of spirit incense developed by the Tao family ancestor, Nanshan Superior, during his lifetime, which can quickly restore soul fatigue and make the mood happy.

Not only that, but when a cultivator meditates and adjusts his breath, he can also enter the state instantly.

A type of spirit incense that seems to have ordinary effects, but has miraculous effects for cultivators to restore their state.

A faint chrysanthemum fragrance lingered between the nostrils.

Tao Wan is indeed thoughtful!

Luo Chen no longer paid attention to the Leisurely Fragrance, but focused his attention on the two pill formulas in his hand.

The second match and the third match are both about refining pills.

The difficulty of the two types of pills is not high.

Even the second-tier Dust-Descending Pill, Luo Chen can easily refine it after using the system to enter.

"So, the subsequent two matches have no difficulty for me at all."

"Others, even Dan Yangzi, who has terrifying alchemy talent, has had very little time to study pill formulas after being exhausted by wheel battles for the past half month, and cannot be my opponent."

"In this way, my only opponent is myself!"

The second round of the alchemy competition gives very short rest time.

But because Luo Chen finished first, he rested for a full hour.

When he stepped onto the alchemy stage again with a full spirit, he clearly found that nearly half of the alchemists in the field were not in a perfect state.

"This is not enough rest!"

When he was observing others, others were naturally observing him.

After all, he is the absolute winner of the first round!

And a loose cultivator alchemist without any sect.

Under such gaze, defeating them strongly, how can it not attract attention.

Dan Yangzi glanced at Luo Chen, and then looked at the pile of materials in front of him with a blank expression.

He had already prepared to refine pills alone.

Xuan Yunzi was not in a hurry, looking at Luo Chen, and even nodded friendly to him.

It seemed that he was not affected at all.

Just now he was the third to finish the competition.

After going down, he didn't receive too much blame from He Yuanqing.

The facts have proved that his decision to destroy the previously wrong materials and choose a new path was correct.

He Yuanqing couldn't blame him too much in front of others.

Instead, it was Huang Hezi.

At this moment, he lowered his head, full of anger, with nowhere to vent.

In the previous round, he only got the sixth place.

After going down, although Shangguan Yan didn't blame him, the questioning eyes of others were more uncomfortable than slapping him.

"This time, I must not lose!"

"That Dan Chenzi is arrogant, actually not asking for helpers to assist in alchemy, I will definitely be able to suppress him!"

"The shame of the previous match, I will pay it back together in this match!"

When roaring inwardly, he whispered to the two people beside him: "When refining pills later, assist me with all your strength, there must be no mistakes!"

The two people looked a bit nervous and nodded quickly.

This scene not only happened to Huang Hezi.

Beside other alchemists, there were more or less two or three logistics cultivators assisting in alchemy.

On the entire competition field, only Luo Chen and Dan Yangzi were alone.

Countless cultivators outside naturally discovered this situation.

Discussed it endlessly.

"Qi Qi Shixiong cannot ask medicine apprentices and fire workers for help, it can be understood, after all, he was restricted in the second round."

"Why is that Dan Chenzi also alone?"

"Didn't the Tao family give him support?"

"It's also possible that he is the kind of person who is used to refining pills behind closed doors, used to being alone?"

"It's all possible, otherwise where did he forge such perfect pill techniques!"

"But in this way, his alchemy speed will only be left behind by others!"

Facing these discussions.

The nine people on the stage turned a deaf ear.

Everyone's attention was on the Grand Pill Institute elder.

Time is up!

"The second match of the second round, refining first-tier Spirit-Feeding Pill, ten portions of materials for each person, stop when used up."

"Pill requirements, at least low-grade. Defective products are all considered failures!"

"Now, let the competition begin!"

After the order, everyone moved.

And among them, the biggest movements were clearly Dan Chenzi and Dan Yangzi.

Neither of them had helpers, all relying on themselves to process those semi-finished materials.

Therefore, the movements were all very big.

And the operations of the two also amazed everyone again.

"What a smooth medicinal material processing, what a skilled pill technique!"

"Using two purposes at once, processing three portions of materials at the same time, that Dan Chenzi can be worth three people!"

"Qi Qi Shixiong is not inferior, the fire control means are so powerful!"

Luo Chen had no time to pay attention to others.

While processing materials, he controlled the earth fire to roast the pill tripod slowly.

After heating to a certain degree, he directly put some semi-finished materials into the pill tripod one after another.

This strange scene once again attracted the attention of the Grand Pill Institute elder.

"Is this to refine while processing medicinal materials?"

"But in this way, the requirement for earth fire control has reached an extremely strict degree. How can he have such confidence?"

The Grand Pill Institute elder frowned slightly.

But gradually, he saw the doorway.

"Melting Qi with fire, controlling fire with Qi!"

"He is not refining pills with the help of external earth fire at all, but has fused the external earth fire in the way of spiritual power, and the control is simply like an arm."

"This child not only has terrifying proficiency in basic pill techniques, but also has reached an extremely high level of control over pill fire."

"In this way, Dan Yangzi will be pulled away."

It seems to be as he expected.

If the speed of Dan Yangzi and Luo Chen was roughly the same before.

When refining later, Luo Chen relied on skilled fire melting means and gradually pulled away the gap under the operation of using two purposes at once.

It's not that Dan Yangzi is inferior to others.

It's just that the other party is used to refining pills with Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire, and now he is not allowed to use this big killer, so he can only refine pills with conventional means.

Instead, it became less skilled.

But it was only a little slower than Luo Chen, and his speed was still above the others who had helpers!

"If there are no accidents, the top three have been reserved by Dan Chenzi and Dan Yangzi."

"Three rounds of top five winners, roughly plus Xuan Yunzi, this good seedling, only two spots are left for others to compete."

For the Grand Pill Institute elder with rich alchemy experience.

Just by some details, he had already roughly judged the victory and defeat trend of the follow-up.

Sure enough.

As a slight pill fragrance came from Luo Chen's pill tripod, many things were self-evident.

Huang Hezi, who was closest, naturally smelled this pill fragrance.

It didn't come from his own pill tripod, but from Luo Chen, whom he regarded as a great enemy.

At that moment, his expression was a bit trance-like.

How could it be like this?

He still had helpers, but he couldn't compare to the other party?

It was this trance that caused him to make a big mistake.

"Senior Uncle, it seems there is a problem with condensing the pill!"

"Can't suppress the medicinal power, Senior Uncle, make a move quickly!"

Huang Hezi woke up suddenly and subconsciously cast a spirit formula.

However, it was already too late.

He looked silently at the pitch-black, unformed waste liquid in the glazed sub-tripod, and felt a bit cold in his heart.

An inexplicable thought floated in his mind.

No wonder Tao Wan didn't look at me.

Am I really not as good as Dan Chenzi?
