I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 136 Song Jie VS Mu Lingxuan

After observing fourteen competitions, Song Jie finally determined that Mu Lingxuan's Danhuo technique had not reached the realm of the Great Dao.

He is probably at the middle stage of the transformation realm, and is still some distance away from the realm of the Great Dao.

This is good news for Song Jie.

Because it means he can choose the second option instead of the overly ostentatious first option.

When Mu Lingxuan finished her second intermission, she returned to the discussion stage in high spirits.

It was immediately announced that the competition at the "Immortal Elixir Discussion Conference" would continue.

"... Then, which fellow Taoist is willing to come up on stage and discuss Taoism with me?"

Mu Lingxuan looked around, with a faint smile on her lips.

The consecutive victories made her look more confident.

It seemed as if the whole body was emitting an invisible glow.

"I am willing to go on stage and discuss Dao with Fellow Daoist Mu."

Song Jie, who was well prepared, was the first to stand up after Mu Lingxuan asked this question.

Swish swish swish~
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Song Jie.

Although Song Jie has gained some fame while setting up stalls these days, there are still many cultivators who don't know him.

A question mark popped up in the minds of more than half of the monks: Who is this person?
"Does anyone know who this person is? Which force does he come from?"

Most of the monks who are able to be seated at the VIP table have a certain status and background.

Seeing a rather unfamiliar face standing on the VIP stand, several cultivators who did not know Song Jie immediately started asking the surrounding fellow Taoists about Song Jie's identity.

One of them knew Song Jie and immediately replied: "This person's name is Song Jie. We don't know which faction he is from, but his alchemy skills are also very advanced.

“A few days ago, I saw the pills he displayed at his stall, and they were all of high quality.

"Even the Chongmai Pills that are difficult to refine are of high quality."

"He's so powerful! I wonder what kind of elixir he will choose to compete with Mu Lingxuan..."

"I guess it might be the Chongmai Pill. His chances of success with other pills are slim. Only the Chongmai Pill, which is quite difficult to refine, might have a little hope."

“Indeed, Mu Lingxuan’s talent in alchemy is truly terrifying.

“She almost refined the rejuvenation pill to perfect quality, but unfortunately it fell just a little short in the end.

"Although I failed to refine a second perfect quality first-grade elixir, Mu Lingxuan still won the competition."

“For a first-level alchemist who is still in the Qi Refining Stage, it is too difficult to make a first-grade elixir of perfect quality.

"In the entire Yunmo Continent, perhaps only Mu Lingxuan can do this."

"I hope this fellow Daoist Song Jie can bring us some surprises..."

While everyone was discussing, Song Jie, encouraged by several alchemists around him, walked towards the discussion platform.

Huangfu Shen, who was sitting at the highest point, looked at Zhao Xuanyu, smiled, and said, "Sect Master Zhao, who do you think will win this competition?"

"Could it be that this young friend is the alchemy genius that Fellow Daoist Huangfu just mentioned, who can compete with Lingxuan in the art of alchemy?"

Zhao Xuanyu knew that there must be a reason why Huangfu Shen suddenly asked this.

He immediately thought of what Huangfu Shen had said before, and couldn't help but look at Song Jie twice more.

Huangfu Shen nodded.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Song is an alchemist with great potential.

"Even if Mu Lingxuan beat him today, she may not be able to beat him all the time in the future."

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Huangfu is very optimistic about this young friend Song. This makes me look forward to their competition."

Zhao Xuanyu laughed.

Although Huangfu Shen is very optimistic about Song Jie, he has more confidence in his apprentice, Mu Lingxuan.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Jie stepped onto the discussion platform.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Mu Lingxuan smiled faintly, and a cute dimple appeared on each cheek.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Song Jie said with a smile, "Just now I saw you defeat challengers one after another, and your invincible aura frightened me.

“That’s why I never dared to challenge Fellow Daoist Mu on stage, hahahaha…”

Mu Lingxuan smiled and said, "Brother Song, are you sure you will win when you go on stage now?"

"I'm not sure of winning, but I have the belief that I will win." Song Jie laughed.

"The belief that we will win..." Mu Lingxuan nodded and said, "Hearing what Fellow Daoist Song said, I am actually looking forward to the next competition.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Song plans to compete with me on?"

Song Jie said without hesitation: "I just calculated it, and so far, it seems that no one has challenged Brother Mu to the Danhuo Technique.

"How about you and I compete in Danhuo Jutsu?"

"A contest of Danhuo techniques..." Mu Lingxuan said with interest, "It seems quite interesting. I wonder how Brother Song plans to compete? How will the winner be determined?"

Mu Lingxuan is quite confident in her Danhuo Technique.

I just don’t know how Song Jie plans to compete.

After all, Danhuoshu is not a spell used for fighting, it can only be used when refining pills.

Faced with Mu Lingxuan's question, Song Jie did not beat around the bush and gave an answer immediately.

“As an important material for alchemy, the blood of monsters contains the power and vitality of monsters, but also contains many impurities.

"Let's compete in using the Danhuo technique to purify the monster's blood essence, and the winner will be determined by the purity of the purified monster's blood essence.

“The one with the highest purity will be the winner of this competition.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Mu?"

Mu Lingxuan looked at Song Jie's eyes which had a hint of smile in them.

She knew that Song Jie must have come prepared.

Without thinking too much, she knew that Song Jie must be extraordinary in purifying the essence and blood of monsters.

But her purpose of standing on this discussion platform today is to hone her alchemy skills through a series of competitions.

Naturally, one would not mind using one's own weaknesses to attack others' strengths.

Besides, using Danhuoshu to purify is not her weakness.

This is also an area where she is relatively good at.

The process of alchemy actually includes the purification of medicinal materials and the removal of impurities.

She was able to refine first-grade elixirs of perfect quality, and her control over the elixir fire technique must have reached an extremely sophisticated level.

Purifying and removing impurities from medicinal materials is even easier.

Therefore, facing the challenge proposed by Song Jie, Mu Lingxuan agreed with almost no hesitation and full of confidence.

"No problem. Let's do as Fellow Daoist Song said and use the Danhuo Technique to purify the monster's blood essence."

After the two of them determined the content of the competition, disciples from the Danding Sect soon brought two basins of monster blood filled with impurities.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, these two pots of monster blood essence come from the same monster.

Looking at the basin of monster blood in front of him filled with violent spiritual power, Song Jie smiled slightly.

"Since it's not alchemy, I won't use the alchemy furnace. Fellow Daoist Mu is free to do as he pleases."

A good alchemy furnace can, to a certain extent, help the alchemist to better purify medicinal materials.

However, Song Jie doesn’t have a good alchemy furnace.

His Ziyun Copper Furnace was just an ordinary alchemy furnace and could provide almost no help in purifying medicinal materials.

The reason why he said that he didn't use the alchemy furnace was to make Mu Lingxuan not use the alchemy furnace either, reducing the variables of the competition results. Sure enough, after hearing what Song Jie said, Mu Lingxuan nodded and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Song doesn't use the alchemy furnace, then I won't use it either."

If she used the alchemy furnace to purify the essence and Song Jie did not, even if he won in the end, she would feel that the victory was unfair.

Moreover, when Song Jie came on stage, he did not bring his unicorn beast with him.

The unicorn beast can directly absorb impurities in medicinal materials, and its effect is many times better than that of the alchemy furnace.

Whether it is the alchemy furnace or the unicorn alchemy beast, they are all external objects.

In Mu Lingxuan's opinion, Song Jie did not bring Jinjiao on stage and did not use the alchemy furnace because he wanted to compete with her entirely based on his own abilities.

And this is exactly the competition she hoped to see.

"Friend Mu, let's get started."

"it is good."

The two nodded to each other, and then simultaneously focused their attention on the basin of monster blood in front of them.

"Teng~"

"Teng~"

The sounds of two flames rising were heard almost at the same time.

A ball of dark blue flame enveloped the basin of monster blood in front of Song Jie.

In front of Mu Lingxuan was a light purple flame.

The two colors of Dan fire, one blue and one purple, complement each other, as if they were competing with each other.

When everyone at the scene saw that the two had finally started the competition, they began to talk quietly with their fellow Taoists around them.

This was the first time today that a direct contest of Danhuoshu took place.

Everyone also showed a certain interest in this.

By feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the two men when they cast the Danhuo Technique, everyone also sensed Song Jie's true level of cultivation.

"This fellow Daoist Song is actually only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and judging by the strength of his spiritual power, it seems that he has only been at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage for a short time."

After feeling Song Jie's true cultivation level, many people showed expressions of surprise.

This is the alchemist with the lowest cultivation level among those who came on stage to challenge today.

Except for a very small number of alchemy geniuses, an alchemist's alchemy skills can, to a certain extent, be reflected in his cultivation.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of alchemist's cultivation, the more sophisticated his alchemy skills.

After all, a high level of cultivation means that one has practiced for a long time and studied the Dao of Alchemy for a long time.

Therefore, the alchemist who had come on stage to challenge Mu Lingxuan previously, the one with the lowest cultivation level, was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage, just like Mu Lingxuan.

As for alchemists with lower cultivation than Mu Lingxuan, there were indeed quite a few at the scene, but almost no one had enough courage to go on stage and challenge Mu Lingxuan.

Song Jie is the first one today.

However, some sharp-eyed alchemists discovered something unusual.

“Although this fellow Daoist Song is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, his control over the Danhuo Technique is not at all like the level that a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage can achieve.”

“Indeed, even I cannot compare to such a skilled Danhuo technique.

"To add, my cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage."

"Could it be that this Fellow Daoist Song is also an alchemy genius? And an alchemy genius that can rival Mu Lingxuan?"

"You are exaggerating, Fellow Daoist Song may be a genius in alchemy, but to say that he can be compared with Mu Lingxuan is completely nonsense."

"That's right. I think Mu Lingxuan will definitely win this competition."

"I think so……"

Although most of the cultivators present were amazed at Song Jie's control over the Danhuo technique, they still felt that Song Jie had no chance of winning the competition.

In their eyes, the outcome of this competition was already decided before it even began.

They all believed that Mu Lingxuan would win this competition beautifully again, just like in the previous ones.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way.

He Hongjie, Shao Ziling and other alchemy geniuses who had previously competed with Mu Lingxuan, now looked at Song Jie with solemn eyes.

Most of the first-level alchemists present could not see too many inner things because their realm was not high enough.

At most, he could see that Song Jie's control over Danhuoshu was better than his own.

But I can't tell how good it is.

These geniuses who are quite gifted in alchemy have already cultivated the alchemy fire technique to a relatively high level.

Therefore, he can see more things than other first-level alchemists.

Even they thought they were not as good as Song Jie in controlling the Danhuo technique.

And it’s not even a little bit worse.

Considering Song Jie's cultivation level, he is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

They felt their scalps tingling.

In their opinion, Song Jie's talent for alchemy might really be comparable to Mu Lingxuan's.

"I never thought that Yunmozhou actually had such an alchemy genius hidden in it."

"I wonder which faction this fellow Daoist Song belongs to as an alchemist?"

They all felt that with Song Jie's level of alchemy fire skills, he was most likely an alchemy genius who had been hidden in some force for a long time.

While people were discussing all over the place, on the discussion stage, the two people were still concentrating on purifying the essence and blood of the monster in front of them.

The monster's blood essence made a "sizzling" sound under the calcination of the elixir fire.

As time goes by, the volume of the monster's blood essence is slowly decreasing and gradually becoming more viscous.

Tiny crystals precipitated from the sticky blood of the monster.

However, under the cover of the Dan fire, these crystals are not so conspicuous.

At the same time, in the area where the Danding Sect disciples were watching the game.

"Junior Brother Lin, I wonder what you think when you see this scene?"

Song Zhiqing smiled slightly and looked at Lin Youtian, who had a complicated expression on his face.

Song Zhiqing was mentally prepared for Song Jie's alchemy skills, so he didn't seem too shocked at this time.

Lin Youtian stared at the ball of dark blue flame in front of Song Jie without blinking.

Lin Youtian was very familiar with this dark blue flame.

This is the Qingming Phantom Fire of their Lin family.

It was he who personally promised Manager Bao of Baodan Tower to sell the Danhuo Technique to Song Jie.

He never thought that Song Jie, who had come into his sight by relying on his cleverness, was not even a first-level alchemist.

When they met again today, he had become a person he dared not recognize.

He simply couldn't believe that the alchemist who was competing with Mu Lingxuan was Song Jie.

Because the other party's level of control over the Qingming Phantom Fire is much higher than his.

This completely exceeded his understanding.

How could a useless person with five-attribute spiritual roots surpass me in Danhuoshu...

But the facts were right before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it.

After a while, Lin Youtian said in a somewhat dull voice: "Senior Brother Song, do you think Song Jie really has five-attribute spiritual roots?"
