Chapter 78 The Man Who Refined Baoyuan Pill to the Extreme

There is no time to practice, and half a month passes by in a blink of an eye.

In the past half a month, Li Yu's practice has not improved at all, but his alchemy has improved a lot. He has mastered all the eighteen kinds of elixirs involved in the first-rank alchemist competition.

Up to now, out of ten elixirs in his furnace, one top-quality pill has been able to appear steadily, and with luck, two more will appear.

If it is Baoyuan Pill, he can even produce six or seven top grade pills in one batch.

At this time, he can already be sure that no matter whether he lets the alchemy furnace take care of his body or not, he will be affected by the alchemy furnace. Normal alchemists, the level of alchemy improvement is not so fast at all.

Tomorrow is the day of the first-rank alchemist competition. Li Yu plans to take a day off today to recharge his batteries.

Idle is also idle, he talked to Zhou Zixuan, came to Feilai Peak, and sold the first-order elixir refined these days.

His elixir is easy to sell in the Zongmen. His face is the biggest sign. After a while, dozens of bottles of elixir were sold out. Not only Kunlun disciples but also There are several figures, wearing the uniforms of other sects.

Wu Tong was strolling on Feilai Peak. When he saw Li Yu, he strode over and said, "In the past few days, a lot of disciples from other sects have come to the sect. They should be watching the competition of first-rank alchemists. You can also win the championship in the competition, but you will be famous, tsk tsk, there is no such thing as a leader in the competition of alchemy apprentices and first-rank alchemists in succession in Kunlun history."

Li Yu waved his hand and said, "I don't have that strength, unless I can enter the realm of heaven and man again..."

"Maybe it's really possible, I'm very optimistic about you making history." Wu Tong smiled, and said again: "However, this competition for first-rank alchemists should be the most fierce competition in recent decades. After all, The reward for the leader of the big competition is a fifth-order elixir, who is not tempted, I heard that there is also a elixir genius from the Heavenly Dao Sect..."

Li Yu was a little surprised, and asked, "People from the Heavenly Dao Sect can also participate in the competition of Kunlun disciples?"

Wu Tong shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is no precedent, but the Yuanying stage patriarch of Tiandaozong personally mentioned this matter to Master Zhangjiao. , our Kunlun is afraid of their Tiandaozong, and the face of Tiandaozong still has to be given, after all, they are the leaders of the righteous way..."

Li Yu is no longer Xiuxian Xiaobai now, the name of Tiandaozong, even if he is in Kunlun Cave, he often hears it.

This is the only super sect of Zhengdao, and its strength is the only one in Zhengdao. Although the Kunlun sect is known as the second largest sect in the world of cultivating immortals, even Kunlun and Shushan Emei are not as powerful as Tiandaozong.

Wu Tong said leisurely: "Tiandaozong is used to domineering, if I teach a real person, I can only agree, but if the leader of this competition is really taken away by the people of Tiandaozong, our Kunlun will be five The high-level pills and face are gone..."

Li Yu is not worried about this.

This Pregnancy Pill is very important to Jiang Li and cannot be lost.

At the critical moment, he will make a move.

……

Ling Yunfeng.

The first-rank alchemist competitions in previous years were all held at Lingyun Peak.

In the entire Kunlun, there are nearly a thousand first-rank alchemists, but not everyone will participate in the competition. For some people who have just entered the first-rank alchemist, there are some pills in the competition that they can't make yet.

This Kunlun First-Rank Alchemist Grand Competition, there were only about three hundred first-rank alchemists participating.

Because of the scale, the first-grade alchemist competition in previous years was far less attention-grabbing than the Alchemy Apprentice Competition, but the alchemy peaks paid more attention to it, but this year, the situation is different.

The reward for the leader of the first-rank alchemy master competition this time is a fifth-rank pregnancy pill, which is unprecedented, not to mention the Kunlun disciples, even the people from the outer sect couldn't help but join in the fun.

Even before the contest started, the mountains around Lingyun Peak were already crowded with onlookers.

The four huge water curtains projected the scene on the competition platform from four different directions, so that the surrounding onlookers could clearly see it no matter which direction they came from.

On a painting boat floating in the air, there were several figures sitting.

The head teacher Kunlun did not attend this first-rank alchemist competition, but the two ancestors of the late Yuanying period and two fourth-rank alchemists were present.

They are Patriarch Xuanzhen of Yuzhu Peak, Patriarch Taiyi of Yuling Peak, Daoist Changchun of Cuiwei Peak, and Yuyangzi of Baiyun Peak. Although the latter two are not as good as the former two in terms of cultivation, their status in the sect , is not weaker than the two ancestors of the late Nascent Soul.

Patriarch Taiyi and Yuyangzi were talking and laughing while sipping spirit tea.

Another old man with yin and yang pisces embroidered on his chest was talking with Master Changchun, only Patriarch Xuanzhen drank tea by himself, she was not popular in the sect, she would not show up in this kind of competition , but it's about her precious disciple, only watching her at the scene can feel at ease.

On the competition platform covered by the soundproof formation, more than three hundred first-grade alchemists are ready.

Beside them, without exception, there is an assistant to accompany them. Refining a first-order elixir is an extremely labor-intensive task, so you can't spend too much time on the preparations.

On the four water curtains, the situation on the platform is also projected from various angles.

The disciples of Kunlun who were watching the excitement from the surrounding peaks discussed while watching.

Some disciples complained: "Hey, this competition is not good, why are they all so old?"

The last Alchemy Apprentice Competition was really good-looking and eye-catching. There were Li Yu, Junior Sister Zheng, and Senior Brother Zhao. Most of the contestants were young disciples. There are mostly old people, there are many middle-aged faces, and there are only a handful of young people.

Someone said in a bad mood: "Nonsense, this is a competition for first-grade alchemists, not an apprentice competition. Those who can participate in the competition for first-grade alchemists must have practiced pills for at least ten years, or even decades, how could they compete with alchemists?" As young as a Taoist apprentice?"

After the foundation is established, the immortal cultivator can only have a slight beauty-retaining effect. Under the golden elixir stage, if the immortal cultivator wants to keep his appearance forever, he needs to take the Zhuyan pill for a long time. The Zhuyan pill is a first-order pill, and the price is relatively low. Qi pills are much more expensive, two hundred spirit coins a piece, one taken every day, thirty pills a month, six thousand spirit coins, even the foundation building period is difficult to afford...

Looking around, these first-rank alchemists all have a sense of vicissitudes.

Only in a corner of the competition platform, a pair of young men and women who were talking and laughing, gave everyone visual comfort.

"Hey, isn't that Junior Brother Li, he also came to participate in the first-rank alchemist competition?"

"Isn't he an apprentice of Dan Dao?"

"It's not long ago. What year's calendar are you in? A few months ago, Junior Brother Li was promoted to the first-rank alchemist. However, he came to participate in the big competition after a few months of promotion. He can refine so many pills." It's impossible..."

"I don't know, where do you usually get the news from?"

"This junior, would you like to order a copy of the "Kunlun Monthly" compiled by me? On the first day of each month, I will compile together the big and small things that happened in the sect last month, so that you can stay on the peak without leaving the peak. If you know the new things about the sect, you only need [-] spirit coins per month, you pay annually, and you can get a discount of [-] spirit coins..."

……

With the blocking formation, Li Yu couldn't hear the sound outside.

But this time he knew that there was a live broadcast outside, so he restrained a little bit, and didn't flirt with Senior Sister Zhou, just chatting casually.

With the sound of a bell, the entire competition platform fell silent instantly.

At the front, a third-rank alchemist randomly pulled out a jade stick from a certain jade box, and then said in a deep voice, "The first round of the competition is --- Intermittent Pill."

His voice, under the blessing of mana, resounded throughout the competition platform.

Nearly half of the alchemists, when they heard the words "intermittent pill", immediately turned bitter.

It is also a first-grade elixir, and the difficulty of making intermittent elixir is several times that of Bigu dan and Huiqi elixir. They haven't fully mastered it yet. There is only one material, if the refining fails, it will be eliminated directly, there is no second chance.

They still had a fluke mentality. If the three kinds of pills in the Dabi were all first-order entry-level pills, if they were lucky, they would still be able to enter the next round. Unexpectedly, the first round of the Dabi this year would be Hell difficulty.

If you complain about suffering, you still have to refine the alchemy. After all, today's alchemy materials are free, so it is an opportunity to practice.

The difficulty of intermittent pill refining is very high. In the first round of competition, there were frequent accidents at the scene. Someone had just condensed the pill fire, but the pill was destroyed because of the inability to control the violent spiritual power in the medicinal liquid, so he had no choice but to quit.

Fortunately, everyone is a first-tier alchemist, and if the refining fails, it will not blow the furnace.

Some experienced alchemists did not directly start refining. After a quarter of an hour, half of the alchemists left because of failed refining, and the competition platform became much quieter. The liquid is introduced into the furnace.

The refining time of the first-order elixir is a little longer, and it is common for it to last for more than an hour. During this time, the disciples watching outside will naturally not be idle, and they all predict the leader this time.

"I think Brother Chen from Cuiwei Peak is very promising. It is said that he can refine Qi Gathering Pills."

"Hehe, not necessarily. Believe it or not, among these people present, there are not ten or eight who are capable of refining Qi Gathering Pills. Their strengths are all about the same. Who can win the championship depends more on luck."

"It depends on luck... how do you say?"

"At first glance, you don't know the rules of the first-grade alchemist competition. Today's three rounds of competition are to choose three kinds of first-grade pills from eighteen kinds. If you are lucky, these three kinds of pills are what you are good at. , the possibility of winning the championship is higher. If the three kinds of pills are good at others, then there is basically no hope, so you will find that every year in the first-rank alchemist competition, the winners are different. This year's luck It’s good to win the first prize, but next year’s luck is bad, and I won’t even be able to make it into the top ten..."

……

After an alchemy apprentice explained the rules of the competition, the surrounding people understood, and their eyes began to scan the remaining alchemists on the platform, and soon they all converged on the same place.

There is really nothing interesting about a group of old guys making alchemy.

The eyes of the female disciples were finally focused on Li Yu, while the attention of the male disciples was all on Zhou Zixuan beside him.

No matter how well he refines the elixir, at least he is a good-looking person.

The only downside is that the angle of view on the water curtain is too far away, it would be nice if it was closer...

……

On the competition platform, Zhou Zixuan has prepared the liquid medicine for her, and Li Yu is concentrating on alchemy.

The difficulty of Intermittent Pill is not small. He dare not neglect it without trusteeship. After all, there is only one chance. Even if it is just a hand shake, he will be eliminated.

The higher the elixir is, the more precious the materials are, and there is no room for waste. Therefore, high-level alchemists also have high requirements for themselves. To waste a batch of precious materials is a huge loss for them.

Li Yu's goal was to enter the final round, so when refining the first elixir, he chose to seek stability.

After nearly an hour, Li Yu turned off the fire and started the stove.

Ten pills, six super grades, four top grades, none of the top grades.

Outside the formation, the Kunlun disciples who had followed Li Yu for a long time also saw it immediately.

Although there is no top-grade pill in this furnace, the ability he displayed is still shocking.

"It hasn't been long since he was promoted to the first-rank alchemist, and he has this level?"

"Six super-grade pills and four top-grade pills. This is a first-grade pill, and it is still the most difficult to refine among first-grade pills. It is higher than the low-grade pills he made in the first two rounds of the apprentice competition."

"Is this the benefit of the realm of heaven and man? This kind of alchemy talent is too terrifying..."

"Give him a few more years, and he will be able to win the first-rank alchemist competition, right?"

……

At this moment, there are many contestants who have finished refining. Li Yu's results are not bad, but they are not very good, and he can't even make it into the top ten, which is not very outstanding. A month ago, he was a Dan Dao apprentice.

Only alchemists know how terrifying this speed of progress is.

Junior Sister Zheng is great, Senior Brother Zhao is great, the second and third place in the alchemy apprentice competition, but none of them participated in the first-rank alchemist competition. Last time, only Li Yu participated in the top ten competition. Moreover, the first-grade elixir was refined to a very high standard.

Even the third-rank alchemists who were in charge of this competition were a little surprised in their hearts.

"This speed of progress is really appalling."

"It's not only shocking, I've never seen someone improve so quickly in alchemy..."

"It's because of the relationship between the heaven and man. I heard that after Mr. Zheng entered the heaven and man once, he refined the first-level pills, and the rate of the first-level pills is not low. The reason why he didn't participate in this competition is because I want to win the Apprentice Competition next year..."

……

After handing the pill to the deacon disciple, Li Yu looked up at the water curtain inside the formation.

There is a ranking of the contestants who have successfully refined it.

Ranked first was a man named Fang Jin. Among the ten pills that he had practiced, five of them were of the highest quality, and the remaining five were also of the highest quality.

To be able to refine the first-order intermittent pill to this extent, his strength is considered very powerful, and he should already have the ability to refine the second-order entry-level pill.

The next few people, more or less, also refined a few top-grade pills. Their names are no strangers to Li Yu. The first-grade alchemist genius that the senior sister wants to visit.

These people are all fourth-rank alchemist disciples, and they are really powerful, firmly occupying the top ten positions.

Of course, Li Yu's results are not bad, temporarily ranked No. 15, there will be 100 people who will advance in the first round, and he has already locked a spot in advance.

Above the high-altitude painting boat.

Patriarch Xuanzhen's face was a little ugly. The No.1 of this round is Yuyangzi's disciple, and Yuyangzi is on Lu Taiyi's side.

Cuiwei Peak's statement only ranked seventh.

Master Changchun glanced at Patriarch Xuanzhen, and said: "Statement is not good at intermittent pills, see if you can get the pills he is good at in the next two rounds, if you can get it, you still have a chance, if you can't, It can only be blamed on his bad luck.”

What she meant was that if she stated that she couldn't get the elixir she was good at, she could only blame Patriarch Xuanzhen for being unlucky.

Another old man in the late Nascent Soul was smiling.

Everything about Dabi was in his plan, and he had a temporary advantage. Lu Taiyi never made trouble, but smiled and asked the old man of Tiandaozong beside him: "That disciple of your sect is not very old. Dao talent is very strong, and he can be ranked No.11..."

The old man of Tiandaozong smiled and said: "It still can't be compared with the geniuses of Kunlun. It is worthy of being the first alchemy sect. The best first-grade alchemist of our Tiandaozong can't even enter the top ten here..."

……

After more than an hour, all alchemists have finished alchemy.

The result of this round was beyond Li Yu's expectation.

According to the rules, after the first round of the big competition, there will be 100 people left, but among the 96 first-rank alchemists, only 96 of them have successfully refined intermittent pills, and only these [-] people can successfully advance to the second round.

Intermittent pills are still too difficult for most first-rank alchemists.

The first round ended, and after a short break, the third-rank alchemist drew a second lot from the jade box, and the voice quickly resounded across the platform: "The second round of the competition, Baoyuan Pill."

Hearing Baoyuandan's name, most of the contestants breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Baoyuan Pill is not an entry-level first-order pill, it is much less difficult than Intermittent Pill. Those who can pass the first round of refining Baoyuan Pill have a high success rate.

Li Yu is also very happy, he dare not talk about other pills, Bigu Dan, Huiqi Pill, Baoyuan Pill, but the three kinds of pills he is best at, especially Baoyuan Pill, he does not know how many times he has refined them. With hundreds of furnaces, more than five top grades can be refined casually.

On the high-altitude painting boat, Patriarch Xuanzhen bowed his hands to Master Changchun and asked, "Baoyuan Pill, is your disciple good at refining?"

Master Changchun shook his head and said: "This is not the medicine he is good at. It seems that his luck is not good in this competition."

While speaking, she glanced at Lu Taiyi.

That's all for intermittent elixir, the elixir that was drawn in the second round of Dabi was also good at by Yuyangzi's disciples, this is probably not a coincidence, it can be easily explained.

However, she didn't say anything. Standing on the side of Mount Yuzhu this time, she had already repaid Li Yu's kindness to Keqi. She didn't want to get too involved in the dispute between the two Nascent Souls in the later stage.

Time passed slowly, and on the platform, people's pills were released one after another.

The water curtain in the formation is constantly refreshing.

"Fang Jin, six super-grade pills and four super-grade pills."

"Zhang Xin, three super-grade pills and seven super-grade pills."

"Huang Yuanji, the second highest grade elixir, the eighth super grade elixir.

……

Statement, first-grade elixir, five super-grade elixirs, and four top-grade elixirs. "

On the water curtain outside the formation, the rankings are constantly being updated, and the onlookers are talking about it.

"Fang Jin, it's Fang Jin again, it seems that the leader of this competition is very likely to be him."

"That's not necessarily the case. The most important thing is to look at the pills drawn in the third round. Now I can only say that he is lucky. If the pills drawn in the third round are not what he is good at, no matter how lucky he is in the first two rounds." It's useless, this kind of thing often happened in the previous competitions..."

"Obviously, Fang Jin is lucky in this competition."

"Keep watching, the first-rank alchemist competition is just a thrill, until the last round, no one knows who will win..."

……

On the painting boat, Patriarch Xuanzhen's complexion was already very bad, but until the last round, she still suppressed her emotions.

She glanced at Lu Taiyi, who was talking with the Nascent Soul strongman of Tiandao Sect, and there was no sign of nervousness at all, as if he had understood everything.

At this time, there was an uproar among the disciples watching from the surrounding peaks.

Patriarch Xuanzhen looked at the water curtain in the sky. Among the densely packed names, there was a name that was going upstream at an extremely fast speed, surpassing everyone, and finally settled in the number one position.

"Li Yu, seven top-grade pills, three super-grade pills."

This name, which she was not unfamiliar with, made her slightly startled.

Even the strong Nascent Soul of the Heavenly Dao Sect said in surprise: "Li Yu, this is the leader of the apprentice competition last time. Unexpectedly, he has such strength in refining first-level pills..."

He is an alchemist himself, and he has paid attention to the alchemy geniuses in Kunlun, and he has also heard of Li Yu's name.

Lu Taiyi was only a little surprised, but didn't take it too seriously. The difficulty of Baoyuan Pill is far inferior to that of Intermittent Pill and Yangyan Pill. A round of lead is nothing.

Li Yu's sudden ascension to the top also created a topic for the disciples watching around.

After all, he is very well-known among the low-level disciples of Kunlun, and his reputation is very good, which is a topic that everyone often discusses.

"Junior Brother Li is number one!"

"Is he so strong in refining first-order pills?"

"Hey, I don't know, I dare not say about other pills, but this Baoyuan pill is the best pill for Junior Brother Li."

"At first glance, this senior brother is a member of the same path. Junior brother Li's Baoyuan Pill, one is worth three, and whoever uses it will know!"

"Have you ever experienced the medicinal effect of the ultimate Baoyuan pill? Six hours, a full six hours. After finishing the work, my Taoist partner rewarded me with a thousand spirit coins. If I come a few more times, before her 250th birthday, I can also build a foundation..."

"I would like to call him the man who refined Baoyuan Pill to the extreme!"

There were also disciples who looked annoyed and regretted, "If I knew it, I wouldn't have bought it in the sect. Where does Senior Brother Li live? In the future, I will find him when I buy Baoyuan Pill..."
