The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 66: The Three Outer Sects
On this day, Chen Jinshu had just returned from the Spiritual Food Hall on Yaowang Peak with a list of popular contestants for the blind box alchemy competition in his hand.

"I didn't expect so many disciples to participate in this competition."

Chen Jinshu sighed, recalling what Senior Sister Dai had said. Because the Xuanming Cave Heaven was about to open, many inner sect disciples who had not yet established their foundation would participate, and he felt anxious.

Senior Sister Dai had already established her foundation and would not participate, but she had made many acquaintances with the disciples, so she specially compiled a list of popular outer sect contestants and statistics of the inner sect.

Yaowang Peak is different from other main peaks. It is still mostly populated by spiritual plant masters and alchemists. If we compare the combat power, Yaowang Peak undoubtedly has the least disciples in the top two hundred in every outer sect competition.

In addition, Yaowang Peak is the peak that provides elixirs to the sect and has an extraordinary status. Therefore, the other peaks agreed to Yaowang Peak holding such an alchemy competition to divide the cave heaven quota.

Otherwise, with the alchemist's weak fighting power, there are probably not many people who can go to the cave heaven.

However, a large number of spiritual objects in the cave are spiritual plants and spiritual medicines. If not many disciples of Yaowang Peak enter, it will have a certain impact on the future development of the sect.

This time, she took the initiative to invite Senior Sister Dai to have a spiritual meal in order to take the opportunity to find out some things about the alchemy competition. However, she didn't expect that after the meal, Senior Sister directly threw her a scroll, saying that it contained a list of the popular contestants of this alchemy competition.

A moment later, Chen Jinshu returned to Momei Garden and began to examine the scroll.

"The Three Talents of the Outer Sect?"

As soon as she opened the scroll, these four words came into view.

The person who was deliberately placed in a prominent position by the senior sister must be no simple character.

She quickly checked and soon found out the origin of the three outer sects.

The three outer sect talents are a collective term for the most outstanding talents such as outer sect alchemy selected by outer sect disciples in the past.

It is not easy to be selected into the three talents of the outer sect. One needs to make a certain reputation in the outer sect, and these three talents, cultivation and alchemy skills, etc. cannot be too bad.

The three outer sect disciples mentioned in the book have all reached the ninth level of Qi training, and have all passed the examination to become first-class top-grade alchemists.

You must know how difficult it is to obtain first-grade superior medicine. There are five or six hundred kinds of spiritual medicines in the blind box, and you need to select spiritual medicines from hundreds of them to refine first-grade superior medicines.

Last time, she only passed the exam to obtain a low-grade alchemist certificate and almost failed. If she wanted to obtain a high-grade alchemist certificate, she had to at least improve her cultivation to the eighth or ninth level.

Of course, the three of them are good at different types of elixirs, which are divided into healing, increasing cultivation, stabilizing the mind and increasing spiritual awareness, etc.

These three people each have one.

The most important thing is that the three outer sect disciples have been decided by the elders, and they will publicly accept disciples in this competition.

"Three of the top 20 spots have already been taken."

If nothing unexpected happens, these three should all get the top 20 places.

Then she checked the number of inner sect participants counted by her senior sisters, and there were eight people in total.

Those inner sect disciples whose cultivation has not yet reached the foundation-building stage have only been accepted as disciples by the elders in recent years, so they are already very outstanding.

After Chen Jinshu checked for a while, he had already made up his mind about these inner sect disciples participating in the competition.

Five of them are in the late stage of Qi training, and they are also top-grade alchemists. These five people will definitely get the places. There is another person whose cultivation level is not high, but his alchemy skills are also top-grade. This person is the alchemy genius Peng Qi.

There were two others who were more average, with mid-level alchemy skills and in the late stage of cultivation, but they also passed the exam to become mid-level alchemist certificates.

She is a strong opponent.

Now, her alchemy skills have been further improved after her full-scale study in recent days, and she has learned many new alchemy recipes.

Although the quality of the refined pills is not high yet, the process is already error-free. As long as you practice hard, you will have the opportunity to refine high-quality mid-grade pills, and then you will have the opportunity to win the top 20 places in the competition.

Afterwards, she checked the information of nearly a hundred outer sect disciples. There were more than ninety disciples who had passed the lower-grade alchemist certificate like her, and more than twenty of them had passed the middle-grade alchemist certificate. The remaining ten or so also had a considerable reputation for their elixirs.

Her competition would likely be these twenty or so people. "Nine people have already secured spots. There are still eleven spots left. There are still plenty of opportunities."

After reading the summary by his senior sister, Chen Jinshu finally felt relieved from the heavy burden on his heart.

As long as she can continue to practice her alchemy skills more steadily, she may have a chance to get one of the remaining eleven places.

Of course, there may be some dark horses in the outer sect who are talented but do not want to show their talents.

However, these are all individual exceptions, and at most they take up a few places, and there are still so many places to compete for.

"Start making pills!"

After learning about the general situation of participating in the alchemy competition, Chen Jinshu's nervousness did not disappear. After all, there are too many people who hide their abilities in the big sects.

Maybe these people have already been promoted, and the information collected by my senior sister is only past information.

"Just make the elixir according to the rules. You will know the result."

Then she went to the alchemy room and started practicing making pills.

……

Seven days later, Chen Jinshu had been refining pills in the alchemy room for three days. There were a large number of spiritual medicines placed on the ground, but they were all placed in an orderly manner.

"The success rate of the pill has finally reached 40%." She smiled happily.

At this moment, what she was refining in the furnace was Lingshen Dan, a elixir for the middle stage of Qi training.

The efficacy of Lingshen Dan is several times better than Ningqi Dan, and it contains extremely high spiritual power. However, it requires five more spiritual herbs, making it more difficult to refine.

In order to prepare for the upcoming alchemy competition, it is necessary to refine different elixirs, and at least 40% must be achieved.

She doesn't pursue too much in terms of proficiency in making pills. As long as she reaches 40% of the passing mark, what she needs to do is to improve the quality of the pills.

In a competition, quality trumps many things.

Therefore, among the several kinds of elixirs she has refined these days, her goal is to achieve a 40% success rate, and then she will improve the quality of the elixir.

She had seen the competition processes and results of many of the top 20 contestants in the Library. Among them, several of them had extremely high-quality pills, but only 40% to 50% of them were successful.

This gave her great inspiration.

There are much more first-grade mid-grade pill recipes than low-grade ones, totaling fifteen.

She has refined them all one by one, and this Lingshen Pill is undoubtedly the most difficult, especially the fire control, which needs to be mastered to the extreme in order to preserve the efficacy of the nine-leaf Lingshen inside and improve its quality.

"The quality of the finished pill is still below average. It's unlikely to make it into the top 20!"

She couldn't help but frown. Many of the mid-grade pills she had refined before were of below average quality at first, and it took more than ten furnaces of refining to improve the quality.

This quality is only possible because the Xuanpin Danlu is in sync with her thoughts.

"If we use the unrefined alchemy furnace from the competition, the quality of the final pill will definitely be reduced!"

"Take some more Moon Spirit Honey to improve your understanding of the pill formula."

After so many times of practice, she also found a way to improve the quality of her elixir refining. Taking Yueling Honey allowed the lotus petal birthmark between her eyebrows to provide her with enlightenment, allowing her to understand the elixir formula to a higher level.

However, she has used a lot of it over the years, and now there is only one can of Yueling Honey left.
