Chapter 335: Three consecutive championships, Dan Chen's fame

"Guest Lord, you are so amazing!"

"With Master Dan Chenzi, my Tao family can flourish!"

"You didn't see, just now that old fellow Huang Hezi, his expression like a mourning concubine, it was simply too cool."

"Deserved, asking for trouble. He is old, everyone gave him face and respected his dedication over the years. As a result, he clearly promised Senior Sister Tao Wan, but rebelled at the last minute. Now that his performance is poor, I fear his days on the Shangguan family side will not be good!"

"Master Dan Chenzi, please this way!"

Being the first to refine the Spirit-Feeding Pill, and the first to finish the competition.

Luo Chen enjoyed unprecedented respect as soon as he stepped off the high platform.

If the first match gave people surprise.

Then the second success, on the Tao family side, was the unprecedented pursuit he enjoyed.

Luo Chen responded indifferently.

Walking all the way, he arrived beside Tao Wan.

"Hard work." Tao Wan stared at him, her tone even gentler than before.

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Just a lift of a hand."

Is it just a lift of a hand?

Tao Wan's eyes flowed, looking at the alchemists on the stage who were still struggling to refine pills, and for a time she was speechless.

After a long while, she said: "Now, you have already won two consecutive first places, no matter what ranking you get in the next round, I have a chance to move forward from fourth. In the third match, you can restrain yourself a bit."

The meaning in her words was not distrust, but absolute belief!

Because of the two matches, the alchemy attainments Luo Chen revealed had completely convinced her.

It's just.

Restrain?

Luo Chen was stunned, not knowing what she meant?

But as his gaze crossed the Tao family crowd and looked in all directions, at the countless Qing Dan Valley disciples, he understood the answer in his heart.

On the faces of those people, there was curiosity, surprise, and admiration.

But more of it was dissatisfaction, resentment, and anger!

"That's right!"

"This is Qing Dan Valley after all, and the alchemists participating in the competition are mostly Qing Dan Valley cultivators."

"Among them, there is no lack of excellent alchemists like Dan Yangzi and Huang Hezi who are listed in the Seven Sons of Qing Dan."

"Although I represent the Tao family and won against them, I am not from Qing Dan Valley after all."

"The sense of honor of the sect naturally made them stand on their own side, so they started to be hostile to me."

"If I win three consecutive first places, it would be cool, but undoubtedly it would be completely stealing the limelight of Qing Dan Valley alchemists."

Luo Chen is not a stupid person.

He quickly figured out the key.

He also knew why Tao Wan would say that.

However!

Sometimes, if you should show off, you must show off, otherwise who will make up for the benefits he lost?

Luo Chen's mind turned, and he said happily: "Ranking promotion is inevitable. But I fear, it can only squeeze out Shangguan Yan, who is ranked third!"

Tao Wan was stunned.

Then she noticed that on the platform, Xuan Yunzi raised his hand, indicating that he had refined the Spirit-Feeding Pill.

"Fellow Daoist Tao, the top three have always been held by me, Dan Yangzi, and Xuan Yunzi."

"The two behind them represent the first and second respectively."

"If my ranking is too low in the third match, I guess you will only be ranked third in the end."

"Don't you want to face the fourth place first, then the second place, and finally face the first place who is resting and waiting for work when sword fighting?"

Facing Luo Chen's words that pointed directly to the heart.

Tao Wan fell silent.

True Inheritor sword fighting is imminent, and the Dao Seed contention is imminent.

She cannot give up the advantage brought by the ranking.

Even if it's just a jump of one or two rankings!

Luo Chen's words were still ringing in her ears, as if the temptation of a devil.

"Inviting foreign aid to participate in the war is one of the rules of the Dao Seed contention itself."

"What is displayed is your connections, wealth, and means."

"He Yuanqing can have the second position, that Chu Kui from Tianlan put in great effort. He defeated many Foundation Establishment disciples of your Qing Dan Valley, but I didn't see He Yuanqing worry that these things would hurt the sect's reputation."

"Finally!"

"Is it possible that I, as a Tao family guest, am not a part of Qing Dan Valley?"

If the previous few sentences were just the burden on the camel.

Then Luo Chen's last sentence was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Yes!

Even if the details of the Dao Seed contention spread in the future, people will only say that the Tao family guest Dan Chenzi swept all the way and defeated the Qing Dan Valley alchemists.

The Tao family itself is a cultivation family of Qing Dan Valley!

Where is there any damage to reputation?

She doesn't need to care about the views of low-tier disciples at all.

What she should consider is how to compete for the Dao Seed position under the most favorable circumstances!

After thinking this through, a smile appeared on Tao Wan's face.

"It was I who worried too much."

Looking at Luo Chen, she couldn't help but say: "Winning the first two matches has already proven your alchemy attainments. But in the third match, you are refining second-tier pills, are you also this confident?"

She was not questioning.

But a kind reminder.

"Like the Seven Sons of Qing Dan and others, what they are best at is actually not first-tier pills, but second-tier pills, and research on third-tier pill formulas."

"The third match is the most important!"

Luo Chen naturally knew.

If it weren't for the limitations of livelihood, and to earn spirit stones to purchase cultivation resources, he himself wouldn't have spent a lot of time refining repetitive and useless first-tier pills.

As an alchemist with pursuits.

He also wanted to spend all his energy on the research of second-tier, or even third-tier and fourth-tier pills.

In comparison, these alchemists of Qing Dan Valley, without any survival pressure, must have been doing this step long ago.

But this problem will definitely not stump Luo Chen.

He smiled slightly, "Then wait and see!"

Luo Chen's successive championships put great pressure on others.

And among these people, the one who received the greatest impact was Huang Hezi, and the Shangguan Yan ranked third behind him.

"I invited the clan uncle to make a move, and invited the Ghost and Nether Twins who are famous among loose cultivators from outside, so I won the third place."

"Now, you have been defeated again and again."

"Huang Hezi, don't you want that longevity-extending spirit fruit?"

Facing this questioning language.

The old Huang Hezi's skin twitched wildly.

He gritted his teeth and said: "In the third match, I will definitely not lose!"

"Eh?"

"The third match is about refining second-tier pills. A loose cultivator alchemist like Dan Chenzi has very few second-tier pill formulas he can come into contact with, and he will definitely not be able to compare with our alchemists from Qing Dan Valley. I have confidence that I will surpass him!"

"I hope you don't let me down!"

Shangguan Yan said coldly, looking at Huang Hezi as if looking at a dead person.

The ranking advantage that was hard-won before was repeatedly weakened by Huang Hezi's failure.

She didn't even dare to think about what ranking the overall True Inheritor could be after the second round ended?

In comparison.

On the He family side, although Xuan Yunzi was also reprimanded accordingly, it was not so serious.

"Qi Qi Shixiong's foundation is still too deep, the consumption of the first round on him was not as great as imagined."

"It's that Luo Chen, who rose suddenly, actually has such superb alchemy, winning two consecutive matches."

He Yuanqing was a bit disappointed.

Looking at Xuan Yunzi, for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to scold the other party for being incompetent.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xuan Yunzi had already done his best.

Two consecutive matches, both took the good result of third place.

Even that Grand Pill Institute elder didn't lack appreciation for him.

But thinking that if Dan Chenzi won another championship, with the terrifying combat record of three consecutive championships in the second round, I fear Tao Wan, who is now ranked fourth, her ranking will skyrocket.

Fourth?

No, it is very likely to squeeze out his second place.

In silence, Xuan Yunzi suddenly said:

"Actually, your consumption of Qi Qi Shixiong was still very successful."

"With his alchemy, he shouldn't be too far behind Luo Chen."

"The rest time given in the second round is very short."

"And the refining of second-tier pills is also very laborious."

"So, in this next match, I have a great chance to get a better ranking than before."

He Yuanqing was stunned.

Staring at Xuan Yunzi, he couldn't help but say: "You have this confidence?"

"I am very confident in refining the Dust-Descending Pill!" Xuan Yunzi said confidently.

Since he said so.

Then He Yuanqing naturally wouldn't spoil the fun.

"If you can get a better ranking, I will definitely fight for the Grand Pill Institute quota for you!"

Xuan Yunzi showed a trace of joy on his face and bowed.

The second round of the alchemy competition only has short rest time, and long rest is not available.

Three matches, almost connected.

For those ranked lower, there is almost no time to breathe.

Even for those like Luo Chen who are ranked highest, there is only an hour or two of rest.

Two matches have passed.

When the third match started, Luo Chen 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, strongly defeating them, 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 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.

All eyes were 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.

"

Could he surpass the younger generation of alchemists from the Green Elixir Valley and achieve a reputation of his own?

If he truly completed this achievement.

The name Dan Chenzi would absolutely resound throughout the entire Jade Cauldron Domain!

Even if he were just a rogue cultivator, he would likely have countless olive branches thrown his way.

Even Core Formation True Persons would have to treat him with courtesy!

Under the gaze of the masses.

Luo Chen remained unhurried.

He spent an hour processing the many semi-finished medicinal materials.

Luo Chen officially began the refining of the Dust-Descending Elixir.

"Use Red Scorpion Zhu Sha as a base, spreading it evenly on the bottom of the elixir cauldron. Then add the Seven-Colored Stone. This refining method is somewhat similar to the Jade Marrow Elixir and belongs to the mineral elixir category."

"Supplemented with Hundred-Spirit Grass and Fire Spirit Fruit, which contain abundant spiritual energy..."

Long ago, after learning this elixir formula, Luo Chen had tried refining it with all his might several times.

Although he hadn't succeeded in forming the elixir.

The processes and steps involved were already well-known to him.

According to his estimation, by the time the competition arrived, he would be able to successfully refine the Dust-Descending Elixir in at most six or seven attempts.

The overall success rate remained at about one-tenth, as per the system.

However!

As the alchemy progressed step by step, Luo Chen faintly sensed that every step he took was perfect!

It seemed that this batch had a great chance of success.

Succeeding on the first try?

Wouldn't that be too shocking?

So many people were watching.

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, but upon noticing the burning gaze of the Elder of the Green Elixir Valley's Great Elixir Academy, he gave up on the idea of intentionally sabotaging it.

Inferior operations would definitely not escape the spiritual sense of a Core Formation True Person.

Doing so would only arouse suspicion.

Since that was the case!

Then he would do it in one go and display his terrifying alchemy skills!

"This place should be the place where I make a name for myself!"

All hesitation vanished, leaving only the drive to forge ahead.

Luo Chen cast out one spiritual seal after another, catalyzing the fusion of medicinal power within the elixir cauldron.

Under the control of his exquisite fire-fusion technique, the surging earth fire flickered, yet it always provided the necessary heat at just the right moment.

Time flowed slowly.

Until!

"If not now, when!"

Luo Chen laughed aloud and added the final medicinal ingredient.

As if catalyzed, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron fused rapidly, and finally, under the kneading of spiritual power, it turned into individual elixir pills.

Luo Chen reached out and waved his hand.

Those snow-white Dust-Descending Elixirs flew toward the shocked Elder of the Great Elixir Academy.

"Elder, please inspect them!"

The Elder of the Great Elixir Academy grabbed all the Dust-Descending Elixirs, his expression one of horror.

Succeeding on just the first try?

What kind of terrifying alchemy technique is this?

Even if he had been refining them privately countless times over the past half-month, achieving such a result was still too sensational!

He swallowed his saliva.

"Low-grade Dust-Descending Elixir, time taken: three hours, qualified!"

"You..."

Luo Chen smiled modestly, "It was a bit of luck. I experienced many failures in private, and I didn't expect that a sudden flash of inspiration would lead to success on the first try."

Luck?

The Elder of the Great Elixir Academy felt that it must be so.

After all, even a Tier 3 alchemist could not guarantee a one hundred percent success rate.

However...

Looking at Luo Chen's relaxed and composed demeanor, everything seemed to be within his expectations; how could there be any talk of luck?

This youth had truly and comprehensively displayed his terrifying alchemy skills.

How could such a talent be a pearl hidden in the sea?

"Dan Chenzi, are you willing to join the Great Elixir Academy of my Green Elixir Valley?"
