The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 70 Luck backfires
Chen Jinshu waited in line for a while and soon received a furnace number plate, furnace number three in area D.

Then she registered her information on the registration jade slip.

"Use the number plate to find the competition furnace."

After she finished registering, the senior brother in charge of registration reminded her.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Chen Jinshu thanked her lightly and immediately pressed the number plate in her hand, which soon pointed out a direction for her.

She stepped into the temple with curiosity. The ground was still solid and hard, and did not become unreal after the space mode was activated.

When she entered the hall, she found that her storage bag and spirit beast bag were both marked with inexplicable restrictions and could not be opened, so she could only hang them around her waist.

She looked around for a moment and found that there was an elder sitting cross-legged and practicing above each furnace area.

After she withdrew her gaze, she immediately followed the token's guidance to the No. 3 furnace in Area D.

The elder who was invigilating her exam was an old man she had never seen before. He had a white beard and a face that gave people a very peaceful feeling.

After Chen Jinshu activated the formation of the alchemy furnace, he sat in front of the furnace, meditated and practiced his skills, waiting for the competition to begin.

The alchemy competition is conducted uniformly, and the results will be announced within half an hour after the end of the competition.

After she waited for two quarters of an hour, the Medicine King Hall's Peak Master finally spoke up and took charge.

"All disciples, activate the formations of your respective alchemy furnaces. The competition begins immediately."

Chen Jinshu looked at the peak master who was soaring in the center, and his heart became more eager.

"I wonder if the difficulty of this competition will be reduced."

As soon as she uttered her doubts, the location of the alchemy furnace was immediately locked onto by a divine consciousness.

"This kind of invigilation is quite strict!"

"Swish!" The Peak Master distributed blind boxes of elixirs toward each alchemy furnace.

The blind box turned into a small golden dot and quickly passed through the alchemy furnace formation opened by Chen Jinshu and landed in front of her.

"The competition lasts for two hours. Anyone exceeding the time limit will lose!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu immediately became very alert.

She quickly opened the blind box in front of her, and a large number of spiritual medicines with different properties and properties spilled out of the box, almost filling the entire alchemy range confined by the formation.

"The number of spiritual medicines is three times that of the last low-grade alchemist assessment!"

When Chen Jinshu saw so many elixirs, his face became more cautious.

"There are actually more than 500 of them, which is almost the same as the rumored top-grade alchemist assessment."

She quickly calmed herself down and began to organize the elixirs in front of her.

At the same time, a large number of participating disciples around began to sort out the spiritual medicines.

This step is relatively simple, and generally fewer disciples will be eliminated. However, when it comes to the alchemy step, many disciples will cause the furnace to explode due to nervousness.

Although there are many elixirs in the blind box, the number of times given for refining the elixir is limited. According to her understanding, each disciple has a maximum of three refining opportunities.

If it exceeds three times, the candidate will be disqualified and declared a failure.

After Chen Jinshu sorted these spiritual medicines for two quarters of an hour, he finally classified them into first-grade low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade.

What she needed to do was to select the spiritual medicines needed to refine mid-grade pills from the first-grade mid-grade spiritual medicines, and then start refining to improve the quality of the pills as much as possible.

Then she sorted out three kinds of elixir recipes from the first-grade mid-grade spiritual medicines.

"Lingshen Pill, Five-Color Pill, Shaoyin Pill!"

Of the three elixirs, the most difficult to refine was the Spiritual Ginseng Pill. The difficulty of refining the pill would also be used as a criterion for final performance. If she wanted to be cautious, the Five-Colored Pill, as a healing pill for restoring Qi and blood, would undoubtedly be the simplest. However, it wouldn't be a top-notch mid-grade pill.

After much consideration, she finally decided to refine the elixir, the Lingshen Pill.

She had refined Lingshen Pills many times. The last one she refined was of top quality, and the rest were of average quality. So although she was a little nervous about this pill, she still had confidence in refining it successfully.

After confirming the elixir to be refined, she immediately placed the spiritual herbs needed to refine the ginseng elixir aside and started to light the furnace.

The alchemy furnace that has not been refined has a very obvious disadvantage, which is that the temperature inside cannot be controlled at any time during refining, and more effort must be invested.

"Huh? What's going on?"

After Chen Jinshu started a fire at the bottom of the furnace, he found that the flame, which had been gradually growing stronger, became a little dim, as if it could dissipate at any time.

She immediately increased the amount of flame in her hand to make the charcoal burn faster.

Just as Chen Jinshu was trying hard to ignite the spiritual charcoal at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, a male cultivator who was taking the alchemy furnace examination in Area A suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood towards the alchemy furnace in front of him.

The noise was not loud, but the elder in charge of the exam immediately noticed something was wrong and released his spiritual power to investigate.

Then I saw that the man's forehead was a little dark, with a few faint black air.

"Luck backfires?"

"What on earth did this boy do to cause his luck to backfire? It's truly bizarre."

Soon the elder thought of something and immediately reported the situation to the peak master in the center.

"Peak Master! One of my disciples is behaving strangely. It seems like he's been attacked back."

After hearing this, the Peak Master immediately headed towards Area A and saw the pale-faced male cultivator who was still working hard to refine the elixir.

"It really is a backlash of luck! This kid must have done something shameful and unspeakable!"

The peak master's eyes dimmed slightly.

We have been searching for the person who poisoned us for such a long time but still couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, a clue appeared on the day of the competition. It was really effortless.

"Give me this boy's information!"

The Peak Master stretched out his hand, and a jade slip with the names of the contestants registered appeared in his hand.

"It turned out to be this kid Peng Qi!"

……

At this time, Chen Jinshu, who was in charge of the alchemy furnace in District D, had just ignited the flame under the furnace.

"I don't know if this was a trap deliberately set up by the competition, adding the basic steps of accumulating fire in the furnace, or if someone deliberately tampered with these furnaces, causing these contestants to make mistakes in their rush!"

For some reason, her mind leaned towards the second possibility.

After all, there has never been any report of traps being set in the alchemy furnace in the alchemy competition over the years.

Chen Jinshu immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and began to carefully check the inside and outside of the furnace.

After finding nothing abnormal, he began the next step of refining with peace of mind.

After the temperature of the alchemy furnace reached a certain level, she immediately controlled the spiritual medicine beside her, quickly added it into the alchemy furnace, and then quickly practiced the formula to refine it.

Just when Chen Jinshu had already started refining the elixir, the participating disciples from various districts encountered errors in the furnace accumulation step, or they could not raise the temperature when accumulating the fire.

Or there was an error in the temperature control, causing the elixir to burn in the furnace.

The elders in charge of the exams in each district couldn't help but frown when they saw this scene.

They heard that the number of disciples in recent years has been poor, and they didn't expect that even the Yunhuo step had gone wrong. They couldn't help but feel disappointed, and didn't have much hope of receiving suitable disciples this year.
