I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 133 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"I think Mu Lingxuan has a greater chance of winning."

Song Jie stared at the two people on the discussion platform who were concentrating on refining the elixir.

After hearing Song Jie's answer, the alchemist asked curiously, "How did you know that, Fellow Daoist Song?"

When the other alchemists heard the conversation between the two, they all turned their eyes to Song Jie.

Until now, they still can't tell who will win.

So far, Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie have performed very stably without making any obvious mistakes.

In this case, until the pill is formed, it is difficult to tell whose pill is of higher quality.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Song Jie smiled confidently.

He slowly said, “You should all know that the quality of the finished pills is affected not only by your own proficiency in making pills, but also by the pill fire technique and the alchemy furnace.

“As of now, the difference between the two in their proficiency in Fire Poison Pills is not that big.

“He Hongjie is only slightly stronger than Mu Lingxuan.

"Mu Lingxuan is better than He Hongjie in controlling the Danhuo technique.

"As for the alchemy furnace, given Mu Lingxuan's status and position, who do you think has a better alchemy furnace?"

The alchemist sitting on Song Jie's right heard this and said without hesitation: "Of course Mu Lingxuan's alchemy furnace is better."

Song Jie nodded.

“Of course, in addition to the three factors I mentioned above, there are other factors that will also affect the quality of the pill.

"For example, the cultivation level of an alchemist...

“Usually, the higher the level of cultivation of the alchemist, the more sophisticated the control of spiritual power.

“However, this Fire Poison Pill is not a very difficult first-grade elixir to refine, and the requirements for controlling spiritual power are not high.

"So He Hongjie's advantage in cultivation can hardly be used."

Everyone listened to Song Jie's analysis and nodded, thinking that what Song Jie said made sense.

Song Jie smiled slightly and continued, “I guess that the quality of the Fire Poison Pills refined by the last two people should be the same.

“In the end, we still need to compete on the efficacy of the medicine, and if we compete on the efficacy of the medicine, the influence of the pill formula will be greater.

"I believe that the recipe of Danding Sect should not be worse than that of Huolian Sect."

Seeing that Song Jie had no intention of continuing, one of the alchemists immediately agreed, "Fellow Daoist Song is absolutely right. I also think that Mu Lingxuan has a greater chance of winning."

At the same time, on the highest platform.

"This beloved disciple of Sect Master Zhao is truly an amazing alchemy expert. Congratulations to Sect Master Zhao for accepting such a good disciple."

An elder from the Qiyun Immortal Sect who was good at alchemy looked at the leader of the Danding Sect with a smile.

Zhao Xuanyu laughed when he heard this and said, "Lingxuan's talent in alchemy is so great that even I cannot compare to her."

At their level, even though the competition has not yet ended, they can already see that the balance of victory has tilted towards Mu Lingxuan.

In the process of refining the Fire Poison Pill, Mu Lingxuan did not make any mistakes in the most critical steps.

Coupled with Mu Lingxuan's superb alchemy and fire technique.

There is no longer much suspense about the ending.

Immediately, the elders from the five major sects who came to attend the "Immortal Pill Discussion Conference" all congratulated Zhao Xuanyu.

On the second-to-highest platform, an elder from the Huolian Sect who came to attend the "Immortal Pill Discussion Conference" was looking at the two people on the discussion stage who were still concentrating on refining the pill.

I sighed slightly in my heart.

He knew that He Hongjie was likely to lose.

I couldn't help but secretly say that Mu Lingxuan's title as Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius was indeed well-deserved...

“I hope that after this defeat, Hong Jie can see himself clearly again and make further progress in the path of alchemy.

"Ugh……"

He Hongjie was his most proud disciple. Although his talent in alchemy was not as amazing as Mu Lingxuan's, he could still rank among the top three in the Huo Lian Sect.

It is precisely because he has been flattered by his fellow disciples for many years that his personality has become a little too arrogant.

When it comes to alchemy, it can be said that no one among his peers is better than him.

Being confident is a good thing, but if you are too confident, it becomes arrogance.

He brought He Hongjie to attend the "Immortal Elixir Conference" this time because he hoped that his disciple could learn some lessons at the conference.

Understand what it means that there are always people better than you.

Now it seems that his wish should be fulfilled.

……

Just when the big guys on the platform had already seen the results of the competition, they were chatting and praising each other.

On the discussion stage, the competition between Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie was nearing its end.

At this moment, all the medicinal materials put into the alchemy furnace have been transformed into medicinal liquid under the smelting of the alchemy fire, and are gradually becoming viscous.

Gradually, a paste-like substance with the prototype of an elixir appeared in the alchemy furnace.

"Congeal!"

"Congeal!"

As two low shouts sounded almost simultaneously, the fires in the two alchemy furnaces expanded at the same time, and then began to shrink rapidly.

Soon, two faint scents of elixir wafted out from the holes in the alchemy furnace.

Smelling the two scents of elixir intertwined in the air, Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie both knew that the quality of the other party's pills was the same as their own, both were high-quality Fire Poison Pills.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Mu's alchemy skills."

He Hongjie bowed towards Mu Lingxuan, still looking confident.

Mu Lingxuan responded, "Fellow Daoist He's alchemy skills are also very superb. This Fire Poison Pill is probably hard to beat among first-level alchemists."

Hearing Mu Lingxuan's praise, He Hongjie couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He Hongjie had long expected that Mu Lingxuan would be able to refine Fire Poison Pills of the same quality as his own.

only……

Although both of them refined high-quality Fire Poison Pills, although they were of the same high quality, there were actually some subtle differences.

It is like two cultivators who are both at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, some have just broken through to this level, while others are about to break through to the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

He Hongjie was confident that the fire poison pill he refined would be at least slightly better than Mu Lingxuan's in quality.

Pills of higher quality usually have stronger effects.

Of course, this law only applies when the same formula is used.

Although both of them were refining Fire Poison Pills, their formulas were obviously different.

That's why He Hongjie didn't jump to conclusion. He needed to compare the two pills specifically before he could get the answer.

With the belief of winning in his heart, He Hongjie was the first to open the lid of his alchemy furnace.

He manipulated his spiritual power to take the fire poison pill out of the furnace, held it in his palm and felt it silently for a moment.

Then he nodded slightly.

This Fire Poison Pill can be said to be his best performance so far.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and he looked at Mu Lingxuan.

"Friend Mu, are you and I testing each other's elixirs?

"Do we still need to ask a senior to do a notarization?"

"Just test each other's elixirs."

Mu Lingxuan didn't say any more nonsense. She just waved her hand and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.

The next moment, the fire poison pill in the furnace floated in front of her eyes under the guidance of her spiritual power.

After just looking at it for a moment, Mu Lingxuan manipulated her spiritual power and threw the fire poison pill she had refined towards He Hongjie.

Seeing this, He Hongjie also did the same thing.

The two exchanged Fire Poison Pills with each other.

After three breaths, Mu Lingxuan cupped her hands and said, "Fellow Daoist He, I'm grateful for your kindness!"

On the other hand, He Hongjie said somewhat frustratedly: "I lost..."

After examining the Fire Poison Pill refined by Mu Lingxuan, He Hongjie realized that he had thought too highly of it.

The fire poison pills refined by the two were indeed of high quality.

But Mu Lingxuan's Fire Poison Pill was not inferior to his own in quality, but was a little better. In terms of efficacy, it was obvious that the Fire Poison Pill refined by Mu Lingxuan was more effective.

Such a result hit He Hongjie hard.

He never thought that he would lose to Mu Lingxuan in the Fire Poison Pill, which he was best at.

During the process of refining the elixir, both of them released spiritual power.

Therefore, He Hongjie also clearly felt that Mu Lingxuan was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.

But he is an alchemist at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.

Even though I had the advantage in cultivation, I actually lost...

Even if Mu Lingxuan's first-grade alchemy furnace is of better quality, his first-grade alchemy furnace is not bad either.

It can be said that both sides have their own advantages.

Moreover, strictly speaking, He Hongjie has a greater advantage.

After all, there is a ten-year age difference between the two, and He Hongjie has obviously spent much more time studying alchemy than Mu Lingxuan.

But in the end, Mu Lingxuan was slightly better.

Such a result can only prove that Mu Lingxuan's talent in alchemy is indeed unmatched by ordinary people.

The moment He Hongjie admitted that he had lost, almost all the disciples of Danding Sect who were watching the competition cheered.

"Senior Sister Mu!"

"Senior Sister Mu is amazing!"

"As expected of our Danding Sect's Senior Sister Mu, she defeated her opponent without any effort."

"Using one's own weaknesses to defeat the other's strengths, this is our Danding Sect's Sister Mu!"

"Senior Sister Mu, I like you!"

"Senior Sister Mu, I want to give birth to a child for you!"

……

Influenced by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the Danding Sect disciples, many first-level alchemists with low levels of cultivation also began to cheer and shouted Mu Lingxuan's name.

Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie both displayed superb alchemy skills during the alchemy process, which really opened their eyes.

This was also the first time they saw with their own eyes Yunmozhou’s number one alchemy genius refining medicine on the spot.

Just this one competition is enough for them to brag about for a long time when they go back.

At this moment, on the podium.

The first-level alchemists sitting next to Song Jie, while marveling at Mu Lingxuan's alchemy skills, began to flatter Song Jie.

"Fellow Daoist Song really has foresight. In the end, Mu Lingxuan really won."

"Brother Song's accurate judgment is truly admirable!"

"From what I have seen, among the first-level alchemists present, perhaps only Fellow Daoist Song can compete with Mu Lingxuan."

"Indeed, Brother Song, do you plan to challenge Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I can defeat Mu Lingxuan in front of such an alchemist, I will definitely become famous all over the world."

"Yeah~ Master Song Dan, why don't you go up and challenge us to open our eyes?"

……

After flattering for a while, these people began to encourage Song Jie to challenge Mu Lingxuan.

It’s not that they have any bad intentions or want to see Song Jie embarrassed.

But they really wanted to see with their own eyes how good Song Jie's alchemy skills were...

Several of them lived in the same courtyard, and after communicating with each other for some time, they all felt that Song Jie had many unique insights in the way of alchemy.

Moreover, when Song Jie set up his stall before, all the pills he displayed were of high quality.

This is enough to show that Song Jie's alchemy skills are far superior to theirs.

They were all convinced of Song Jie's alchemy skills and insights into alchemy.

It is precisely because of this that they want to see Song Jie show them his skills with their own eyes.

Even if Song Jie lost to Mu Lingxuan in the end, they didn't think it was a shameful thing.

After all, Mu Lingxuan has long been famous.

Losing to Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius is not shameful at all, but rather something that can be boasted about.

But not just anyone can compete with Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius.

Just like now, He Hongjie lost the competition and walked down the discussion stage dejectedly.

The alchemists who were watching the competition below the stage all showed encouragement and admiration when they saw He Hongjie passing by them.

Almost no one ridiculed him.

He had the courage and confidence to challenge Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius on stage. This courage and confidence alone was enough to surpass many alchemists of his generation.

Song Jie looked at the anxious eyes of the alchemists around him, smiled and shook his head, saying: "Don't worry, leave the opportunity to other Taoist friends first.

"If no one can defeat Mu Lingxuan, it won't be too late for me to challenge her again."

Seeing Song Jie's confident look, one of the alchemists smiled and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Song is determined to get the 'Lingyuan Immortal Fruit'."

"Brother Song's confidence alone is enough to make us admire him." Another alchemist echoed.

Song Jie asked with a smile: "With such a rare opportunity, don't you fellow Taoists want to challenge on stage?"

"We haven't mastered the alchemy skills yet, so we won't go up and show off."

Song Jie heard this and shook his head, saying, "You are wrong, fellow Daoist. Being able to compete with a master, even if you lose, can still benefit you a lot.

“If you miss today, it will be difficult to get a chance to compete with Mu Lingxuan in the future.

“Also, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a competition to test alchemy, anything related to alchemy will do.

"Fellow Daoists, please think about what you are good at in the Dao of Alchemy..."

In just a few words, Song Jie transformed from being instigated to instigator.

Now it was his turn to instigate these alchemists to go on stage and challenge Mu Lingxuan.

There was naturally a deep meaning behind why he did this.

There is only one chance to go on stage to challenge Mu Lingxuan, and there is only one chance to win.

The "Lingyuan Immortal Fruit" is very important to Song Jie, and he wants to get one no matter what.

This can save him a lot of time and catch up with the opening of the "Tiantian Secret Realm".

Therefore, he must find out Mu Lingxuan's background in order to win in one go.

Just an alchemy competition was not enough for him to see clearly where Mu Lingxuan's strengths and weaknesses lay.

Song Jie knew very well that with Mu Lingxuan's alchemy skills, if he wanted to win, he could only use his own advantages to challenge Mu Lingxuan's weaknesses to have a chance of winning.

That's why he was not in a hurry to go on stage to challenge, and let others go on stage first to help him find out Mu Lingxuan's background.

Then he launched an offensive targeting Mu Lingxuan's weakest points, winning the competition in one fell swoop.

Although doing so might be somewhat unfair, Song Jie never thought that he was an alchemist with noble character.

His bottom line is not to do anything that is harmful to others. As for the rest, it’s no big deal if he loses his moral integrity a little.

Moreover, when he instigated the alchemists around him to challenge Mu Lingxuan, he was not entirely taking advantage of them.

For them, this opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if he lost the competition, he could indeed learn some knowledge related to alchemy from Mu Lingxuan.

The experience of competing with Yunmozhou's number one alchemy genius is enough to hone their character.

It also gives them more bragging rights.

As for Mu Lingxuan, Song Jie believed that she held such a competition today in the hope of competing with more alchemists and further honing her alchemy skills.

This was probably what the leader of the Danding Sect meant, so he asked Mu Lingxuan to host this "Immortal Elixir Discussion Conference".

It is hoped that Mu Lingxuan can compete with more peers through this conference, and thus seek a breakthrough in the way of alchemy.

Therefore, Song Jie's move can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

When these alchemists heard Song Jie's proposal, they couldn't help but be tempted.

They are not brainless people, they naturally know that challenging Mu Lingxuan will indeed bring many benefits to them.

At that moment, they all started to think about what they were good at, or in which aspect of Dandao they hoped to make a breakthrough.

Soon, the alchemist sitting on Song Jie's right slapped his thigh and said, "I thought of going on stage to challenge Mu Lingxuan!"
