Immortality, starting from the heaven and earth.

Chapter 867: The Leader's Jade Alchemy Skills
"One hundred and seventy-eight immortal alchemy masters, that's a lot more than I imagined."

Ji Yi secretly thought in his heart.

Although through Zhao Yulou's narration, Lin Yi knew that most of these 178 alchemy masters were first- and second-grade alchemy masters.

Among them, there are only more than thirty third-grade alchemy masters, and there are only four fourth-grade alchemy masters including himself.

However, the fact that so many alchemists can gather here shows that Mountain Fairy City has indeed been solving the problem of elixirs.

If only half of these alchemy masters could stay and settle in the fairy city for a long time, Lin Yi would have to avoid a lot of trouble.

"But this alone is not enough. I still need to cultivate a true body of the True Immortal realm."

Ji Yi secretly thought in his heart.

Although the true body of the True Immortal Realm is difficult to cultivate, it is not a big problem as long as there are sufficient resources.

But it will probably take at least a thousand years.

If the situation is stable, there is no need to fight for the top spot.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind, and soon it was time for the alchemy conference to begin.

"I'm coming."

On this day, the streets of the fairy city were deserted.

As the Alchemy Conference was held, almost most of the cultivators in the city rushed to the main venue of the Alchemy Conference.

In order to recruit enough alchemists to further enhance the overall strength of the Mountain Fairy City.

This time, the Mountain Fairy City cost a huge price.

The prize for the champion is a magical alchemy furnace that is extremely rare among Xuanxian cultivators.

When Lin Yi arrived at the venue, he saw that it was almost packed with monks from all directions.

Among the crowd, there were flags of many medicine shops, waving flags to cheer for their own alchemists and increase their fame.

"The Alchemy Conference begins now!"

On the stage, after Zhao Yulou briefly introduced the rules, a loud shout suddenly spread in all directions.

As these words were spoken, alchemy masters came to the front of the stage one after another.

Due to the large number of people, this competition is different from previous ones.

All the immortal alchemists who participated in the alchemy would choose to refine pills of different grades according to their abilities in full view of the public.

Those who choose to refine the first-grade elixir are ranked at the lowest level. If the refining fails, they will be eliminated directly.

If the refining is successful, the ranking will be based on the pill yield rate and the quality of the pill.

But this ranking is lower than the alchemist who chooses to refine the second-grade elixir, and above.

If someone chooses to refine a third-grade elixir, even if his or her own elixir-refining skills are higher than those of a second-grade elixir-refining immortal master, he or she will still be eliminated directly if he or she fails.

This also leads to the fact that most alchemy masters will choose the grade they are good at for the sake of safety when choosing the grade.

After the selection was over, Lin Yi looked around and found that besides himself, there were only less than five people who chose to refine the fourth-grade elixir.

“No wonder Zhao Yulou said that there are only four people who are qualified to threaten me.

Now it seems that these people are very confident in their alchemy skills."

Thinking of this, Lin Yi went straight to the alchemy furnace where he was.

The furnaces used in this alchemy conference were all provided by the Mountain Fairy City, and the elixirs refined were also all selected.

For example, the fourth-grade elixir is a unified elixir called Golden Sun Pill.

Looking at the alchemy furnace in front of him, Lin Yi did not choose to make the elixir at the first time, but raised his hand and pointed.

"Hoohoo!"

As he pointed his finger, a flash of fire appeared inside the alchemy furnace in front of him, and the furnace began to burn slowly.

For alchemists, the quality of the furnace determines the success rate of alchemy.

Although Lin Yi believed that his alchemy skills were not inferior to those of the people present, he did not dare to be careless in alchemy.

He had never touched the alchemy furnace in front of him before. Since he couldn't use it directly to refine the alchemy, he chose to judge the condition of the furnace by looking at the fire.

In this way, when the time comes to actually refine the elixir, the temperature of the elixir can be determined by the feedback from the burning flame in the furnace.

Any experienced alchemist, no matter what level, has his own way to test the quality of the alchemy furnace.

If you do nothing
Even the most skilled alchemist may experience a furnace explosion.

This kind of thing happened a lot when Lin Yi was just learning alchemy.

"Fire-watching method."

Taoist Qingyu was also refining a fourth-grade golden elixir. Not far from Lin Yi, he was watching this scene with a slight movement of his eyes.

"It seems that this person must have mastered a kind of fairy fire. Otherwise, he would never use this method."

Taoist Qingyu said secretly in his heart.

There are many ways to check the alchemy furnace, just like the alchemists present at the moment, some use the wind method, some use the water method, and some even confirm it by tapping the alchemy furnace.

However, most alchemists use their own magic power and the feedback from the alchemy furnace.

This is also the reason why Taoist Qingyu judged that Lin Yi should possess a kind of fairy fire.

Because the alchemy furnace in front of them is an alchemy furnace that only immortals can use.

It is impossible to make the alchemy furnace respond in a short period of time by using ordinary fire methods.

"I thought there were only three people who could pose a threat to me at this alchemy conference, but I didn't expect there would be one more."

Thinking of this, Taoist Qingyu's eyes flashed and he said secretly in his heart.

"Okay."

Lin Yi did not care too much about the observations of outsiders. After confirming the time of one stick of incense by the fire-watching method, he took the elixir.

"To refine the Golden Sun Pill, seventy-five kinds of alchemy materials are needed, of which three are the main ones."

After briefly thinking about it in his mind, Lin Yi began to process the various materials.

"Boom!"

As time passed, after forty-nine days, Lin Yi finally put the last auxiliary ingredient into the alchemy furnace.

"Without the help of the alchemy furnace in the blessed land, it would take at least ten years to refine this furnace of Golden Sun Pill."

Looking at the blazing alchemy furnace, Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes.

It takes more than ten years to make one furnace of elixir.

This is the kind of elixir that is selected to form quickly. If it is some better elixir of the same grade, the time will be longer.

This is also the reason why the Alchemy Conference saves time.
After all kinds of thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Bang, bang"

Two years later, several noises were suddenly heard in the square.

Lin Yi didn't open his eyes, but just scanned with his spiritual sense and found the source of the sound.

It turned out that some alchemists were refining second-grade elixirs. Because they did not mix the ingredients properly, they failed just before the elixir was about to solidify, causing the furnace to explode.

After a few columns of black smoke, these unlucky alchemists left in disgrace amid the ridicule of the crowd. Some failed, some succeeded.

The losers left, while the successful alchemists rejoiced in their hearts and selected higher-grade pills to refine them again.

During this process, the alchemist who has successfully refined the elixir does not need to change other alchemy furnaces.

This is also a considerable advantage.

But overall, alchemy is an extremely boring task.

As time passed, most of the monks who came to watch the fun began to leave one by one, except for those who wanted to know the result of the competition and those who were interested in alchemy.

This also caused the crowded crowd that had originally gathered outside the alchemy conference to become sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

At this time, in the entire alchemy conference, only the alchemy furnaces of Lin Yi and four others were still burning slowly.

However, as it was nearing its end, the venue that was empty a few years ago was once again crowded with people ready to witness the final winner.

"It's done!"

On this day, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him.

"rise!"

As a set of elixir-collecting techniques were performed, the elixir furnace in front of him made a humming sound and the lid was slowly opened.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a dazzling golden light accompanied by flames flew out from the furnace.

"One, two, three, six. Who on earth is this person? He has achieved a 60% success rate with a brand new pill furnace."

Looking at the pills flying out of the furnace, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yi.

"Six pills, three good quality, two excellent quality, and one great quality. Although it's not the ultimate quality, it's still pretty good."

Looking at the pill in his hand, Lin Yi said in his heart.

Although the Golden Yang Pill had not been refined many times, Lin Yi was satisfied with the result.

"Buzz!"

At the moment when Lin Yi put away the six pills, his eyes moved, and he saw that the other four people's furnaces were also humming, and they were opened one after another within half an hour.

Within an incense stick of time, as Zhao Yulou and the other two alchemy appraisers came forward, the final results began to be announced.

"The winner of this alchemy competition, Taoist Qingyu, refined a total of seven pills, one of the best quality, one of the best quality, three of the best quality, and two of the good quality."

"In this alchemy competition, the second-class Taibai Zhenren refined a total of six pills, three of which are good quality, two are excellent quality, and one is a top quality."

"Top three in this alchemy competition."

Accompanied by loud voices, this alchemy conference came to an end amid the shouts of surprise from the crowd.

"so close."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Taoist Qingyu looked around and his gaze flashed at Lin Yi, with a hint of fear and relief in his eyes.

He originally thought that he had already secured victory after performing the elixir-offering technique, but unfortunately he was just one step away from losing.

If it wasn't for that Taoist Taibai who took out the pill first, allowing him to see the truth, he would have been able to temporarily lower the quality of the pill and forcibly condense a top-grade pill.

It’s really hard to say who will win this competition.

"Fortunately, I won in the end. This way, the Song family has no reason to reject my conditions."

Thinking of this, Taoist Qingyu slowly walked up to the podium under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"This pill?"

On the alchemy stage, Lin Yi, who goes by the alias Taibai Taoist, looked at the top-grade elixirs on the display stand, his eyes moving slightly.

He seemed to have thought of something at the moment and quickly looked at the other pills refined by Taoist Qingyu.

"It's the method of offering elixir."

Just as Lin Yi was looking at it carefully, suddenly a voice that sounded like a spring breeze came.

"I am Taoist Qingyu, nice to meet you four fellow Taoists."

Facing everyone's gaze, Taoist Qingyu bowed and said with a smile.

“Speaking of which, I won by luck this time.

If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Taibai who took the lead in producing the elixir, I wouldn't have chosen to use the elixir offering method to forcibly produce a top-grade elixir at the last moment.

This is also why these pills seem to have reached the highest grade, but their color and medicinal power are weaker than those of fellow Taoists of the same grade."

At the end, Taoist Qingyu bowed to Lin Yi and said.

"Accepted."

"You don't need to do this, Daoist friend. The art of offering pills is considered a divine skill in the Dao of Alchemy. Moreover, Daoist friend's pill-making rate is the highest."

Without waiting for Lin Yi to answer, the fourth-grade alchemy master at the side said with a flattering look on his face.

"I hope to discuss the art of alchemy with Daoist Fellow Qingyu in the future."

"Okay, okay. When I have free time, I will definitely discuss progress with you fellow Taoists."

Taoist Qingyu said with a smile on his face.

After hearing this conversation, Lin Yi gave up the idea of ​​continuing to observe.

Originally, he had noticed something unusual about the pill, so he wanted to observe it. But since the other party had been frank, the slight changes in the pill were naturally not important.

The method of offering elixir.

Thinking of these three words, a hint of heat could not help but appear in Lin Yi's eyes.

Just as the man just said, this method of offering elixir is a magical skill in alchemy.

Ordinary elixirs, when used in the elixir offering method, will naturally not have much effect.

But if one were to refine a sixth-grade elixir, or even a seventh-grade elixir, the results would be very different.

When it comes to the critical moment of cultivation, the more pills are not necessarily better. On the contrary, some higher-grade pills often only require one to achieve a world of difference in results.

When Lin Yi was in Taiyi Immortal Sect, he had only heard Ge Qiu talk about this alchemy technique with emotion.

Because even Ge Qiu had not mastered this alchemy technique.

"The higher the level of the alchemy offering method, the more difficult the conditions for performing it. I wonder if this person's alchemy offering method can use elixirs of the sixth grade or above."

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but congratulate.

The reason why he came to Mountain Fairy City was to help his fourth senior brother fix the problem with the elixir.

Although he failed to win the championship at the moment, if this Taoist Qingyu who has mastered the method of offering elixirs can be used by their Mountain Fairy City.

So this is a best of both worlds choice for Lin Yi, who wants to make further progress in the way of alchemy, and for Mountain Fairy City.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Zhao Yulou and gave him a look.

Seeing Lin Yi looking at him, Zhao Yulou was stunned at first, then he reacted immediately.

"I originally thought that Master Lin would be in a bad mood after losing the game, but now it seems that I was overthinking it."

At that moment, Zhao Yulou gave his uncle a reassuring look and directly invited Taoist Qingyu to get up.
