I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 22 Sign up for competition
"Are you sure you want to sign up for the competition?"

Bao Xu looked at Song Jie suspiciously.

In his impression, Song Jie was an ordinary alchemist who could only make fasting pills.

Although there are not many first-level alchemists in Xinyue City, there are still a few.

There are four first-level alchemists in Baodan Building alone, not to mention a few first-level alchemists among the independent cultivators.

If the entire Xinyue Market is put together, there can be about ten first-level alchemists.

The pills that the first-level alchemists use to participate in the competition must be first-grade elixirs.

If you want to get into the top three by relying on the Bigu Pill, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

So in Bao Xu's opinion, it was a complete waste of spirit stones for Song Jie to sign up for this competition.

"Yes." Song Jie nodded, "Manager Bao, please help me register."

Bao Xu opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He wanted to persuade Song Jie to give up this unrealistic fantasy, but in the end he didn't say it out loud and just sighed.

After receiving the spirit stone, Bao Xu recorded Song Jie's basic information and then took out a piece of card.

"It contains the specific rules, match time, and match location of the competition. Please take a good look at it when you return.

“There are still three months until the official competition.

"During this time, you can think about it carefully at home."

Because of their past friendship, Bao Xu told Song Jie a few more words.

"Thank you, Manager Bao."

Song Jie took the card, bowed to Bao Xu, and then turned and left.

Bao Xu looked at Song Jie's departing back again and sighed again.

Then he said coldly to the person behind him: "Next.

"The registration fee is one spirit stone..."

……

After leaving Baodan Tower, Song Jie went to Lingyaozhai again and bought the medicinal materials needed for alchemy in the next seven days.

When I got home, I threw the herbs on the table.

Then he took out the cardboard that Bao Xu gave him and glanced through it from left to right.

“The competition venue is also in Baodan Building?

"It seems that after this competition, the reputation of Baodan Building in Xinyuefang City will rise to a higher level."

Song Jie rubbed his chin.

According to the competition rules described above, all registered alchemists.

One month before the competition, you must go to Baodan Building to confirm whether you have passed the review and are eligible to participate.

If you fail to pass the review, the registration fee of one spiritual stone will be refunded.

Alchemists who pass the review will receive a competition token.

And they must report the elixirs they are participating in the competition, as well as the raw materials needed.

Then after the competition begins, all participating monks will gather in the Baodan Building to conduct a five-day closed-door alchemy practice.

Food, clothing, and everything needed for alchemy, including raw materials, will be provided by Baodan Building during this period.

After five days of closed alchemy, Baodan Building will set aside a special area to sell the participating pills.

Every monk who buys a pill will receive a scoring card corresponding to the pill.

You can use this card to rate the pills within ten days.

If it is found that someone maliciously posts negative reviews, or hires someone to post positive reviews, Danding Sect will take corresponding disciplinary measures.

One month later, Danding Sect will rank the participating elixirs based on their sales volume and comprehensive scores.

As for the reward, it is the same as what Li Caiwei said.

The alchemists of the top three elixirs will have the opportunity to join the Danding Sect.

The first place winner can also receive an extra first-grade pill recipe that he or she has not yet mastered.

After having a clear understanding of the rules and procedures of the competition, Song Jie chuckled.

"Baodan Building has a good plan. They only provide the site and raw materials, and they get a lot of free labor."

After selling the participating pills, the spiritual stone income obtained naturally cannot be distributed to the participating alchemists.

"This time, Baodan Building can be said to have gained both fame and fortune, but this is also an opportunity for me."

Song Jie smiled slightly. Such a competition, especially hosted by Danding Sect, would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.

If I could win the first place in the competition, I would become famous in this Xinyuefang City.

Even though he was unable to join the Danding Sect because of his five-attribute spiritual roots.

He can also rely on the fame gained from the competition to thrive in Xinyuefang City.

"Think carefully these days about what kind of elixir to use for the competition."

Although Budao Pills and Yuanyang Pills have received rave reviews since they were launched on the market, Song Jie feels that neither of these two pills is perfect and each has its own flaws.

The main function of Budao Pills is to warm the kidney and strengthen yang, with emphasis on nourishment. It needs to be taken for a long time to be effective.

The main function of Yuanyang Pill is to restore a man's virility in a short period of time. Although the effect is good, it will damage Yuanyang and the side effects are quite obvious afterwards.

Therefore, when selling pills, Song Jie always recommends customers to buy one bottle of each type of pill.

Taking them together in this way can reduce the side effects of Yuanyang Pill and provide a pleasant dual cultivation experience.

But the rules of the competition dictate that Song Jie can only choose one kind of elixir to participate in the competition.

If you use any of these two pills to participate in the competition, you might be able to get a good ranking.

But it is still very difficult to get first place.

His opponents are those first-level alchemists. If he wants to defeat the first-grade elixir, he must use drastic measures.

“It seems that the development of new elixirs should be put on the agenda.

"After such a long time, Dahei should have fully recovered and it's time for him to fulfill his duties as a test dog..."

The corners of Song Jie's mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh lasciviously a few times.

Then he took off his coat and went to the open space outside the house, where he practiced spells and body movements for half an hour.

He stopped only when the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted and he could no longer shoot out any more One Yang Finger.

Back in the house, I steamed a bowl of fragrant rice and fried a plate of lychee meat.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, I took a cold shower.

Then we started tonight’s practice.

……

The sun and the moon alternate.

Seven days passed in a flash.

After completing the morning's spell and body movement exercises, Song Jie put the pills he had refined over the past few days into the medicine box.

Then he brought his own small stool and the wooden signboard.

"Today is also a day of great wealth~"

After shouting a slogan as usual, Song Jie stepped out of the gate with a smile on his face and walked towards the central square of Xinyuefang City.

Song Jie came to the stall and saw Li Caiwei sitting behind the stall bored, so he greeted her immediately.

"Friend Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. How is your business lately?"

This is their main concern in doing business.

Li Caiwei smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Song, it's not bad."

Not bad, that means pretty good.

Song Jie smiled back and immediately began to tidy up his stall.

After everything was ready, not long after, as Song Jie had expected, the first customer to come was Miao Tong again.

He even wondered if Miao Tong lived in this central square?
"Friend Miao is also very punctual today."

Song Jie laughed and asked, "Still the old rules?"

"Yes." Miao Tong nodded, "Old rules, seven bottles of fasting pills."

The corners of Song Jie's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of smile.

Then he took out five bottles of fasting pills, plus a bottle of Budao pills and a bottle of Yuanyang pills, and handed them to Miao Tong.

After taking the three spiritual stones from Miao Tong, Song Jie said, "Friend Miao, there is something I want to tell you."

"Oh?" Miao Tong's eyes flashed with surprise, "What do you want to say, Brother Song?"

Song Jie pondered for a moment and considered his words.

“Well… that’s it.

"I'm currently developing a new elixir."
