Taikoo Lingxiao Jue

Chapter 490
As soon as the words fell, more than 60 contestants who participated in the competition of Danxiu walked out of the lounge and went straight into the hall.

A group of people is mighty, each with their heads held high, appearing extremely proud.

That's right, as an alchemist, he has a respected status and is admired by others, even a cultivator would not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

This is the glory of alchemists, and also the benefits of alchemists.

However, among this group of people, there are a few people who seem out of place.

The first one was the white-bearded old man who followed at the end of the line, with a slightly stooped figure and a wooden crutch.

The old man is about seventy years old, his hair and beard are as white as snow, because of his old age, his body is slightly arched, and he has to walk with a cane.

He was wearing a gray tattered robe with many patches sewn on it, and there was a faint stench emanating from his body, making no one approach him.

However, the old man's eyes are extremely sharp, like a pair of sharp swords, exciting!

This old man is Duan Tianze.

Duan Tianze looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact, he was also a handsome and handsome guy when he was young.

It's just that the infatuation with alchemy for decades has made him forget himself, and he no longer cares about the appearance of the outside world.

And the most important thing is that Duan Tianze's cultivation level is higher than that of every contestant present, and he is truly the most powerful contender for the championship.

When more than a dozen elders of the Alchemy Pavilion of the Holy Academy heard that Duan Tianze had also participated in the competition, they all felt that the impromptu decision made by the general secretary Ling Tianji was somewhat inappropriate.

There are no restrictions on sects and ages, this is simply an adventure.

It is precisely because of these two rules that were temporarily added that some alchemists like Duan Tianze who are very old and have a very high level of alchemy entered the competition.

This is not beneficial to Dan Pavilion's recruitment of disciples!

However, Ling Tianji insisted on doing this.

They couldn't understand Ling Tianji's thoughts.

But he knew a little about Duan Tianze.

Of course, those Dan Pavilion elders didn't know that Duan Tianze's wife was suffering from the devil scale disease, and that he went to the Nine Nether Devil Kingdom alone to investigate.

For Duan Tianze, these few things are secrets that have been buried in his heart for a long time.

If it hadn't been for Elder Lu An's claim that if he didn't tell the truth about the matter, he wouldn't have told him the clues to that magic pill. I'm afraid Duan Tianze wouldn't have told Elder Lu An the truth either.

Everyone knows what happened later, Elder Lu An violated his integrity for the sake of the common people, and did not tell Duan Tianze the clue of the magic pill.

After Duan Tianze was cheated, he was furious and fought with Elder Lu An, but neither of them had the intention of taking the other's life.

Afterwards, Duan Tianze left angrily, vowing that he would never trust anyone again, so he never told anyone his secret.

Those Dan Pavilion elders only knew that Duan Tianze's previous occupation was a blacksmith, and he was far from reaching the level of a craftsman.

But then for some reason, he suddenly stepped into the Dao of Alchemy. In the following decades, he was so obsessed with this Dao that he almost forgot to sleep and eat.

In order to deepen his attainments in alchemy, he went around looking for people to compete and compete, and often haunted some places related to alchemy.

He went to Daqian Danting no less than a hundred times, but was rejected all of them.

Later, he even broke into the forbidden area of ​​Daqian Danting alone, and was forcibly driven out by Dantingwei of Daqian Danting.

It can be said that Duan Tianze's obsession with alchemy is already a joke circulating in the world of alchemy.

Almost any alchemist with some vision knows Duan Tianze's reputation.

Naturally, he is also very familiar with his alchemy level.

Although Duan Tianze has not reached the realm of a high-rank alchemist, he now has a fifth-rank alchemist, which is close to the strength of a sixth-rank alchemist.

He came to participate in the competition of Danxiu, isn't this completely crushing?
No.1 will definitely be won by him, even Xu Lexiao sent by Daqian Danting is not his opponent.

Therefore, those Dan Pavilion elders felt that it was really unwise for General Affairs Ling Tianji to temporarily add the competition rules.

But due to Ling Tianji's identity, there was no way to refute it.

And compared to Duan Tianze, Yan Shajun is more terrible.

No one expected that Yan Shajun, a traitor disciple of the Holy Gu Sect in Xijiang, would blatantly sign up for the competition of alchemy.

This can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.

That guy Yan Shajun is wanted by the Holy Gu Sect, he wants to die?Or is he not afraid of someone hitting him at all?
Anyway, no matter what, this Danxiu ratio is full of weird taste everywhere.

Apart from these two, there are also some older casual alchemists, but fortunately, they are all relatively average in strength.

"These are the people who participated in the competition of Danxiu today. Everyone, please enjoy the first round of auditions for the competition of Danxiu!"

Ling Tianji looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, and then he signaled the contestants to back down, then waved his hand and shouted: "Get the alchemy equipment!"

The contestants retreated to the side, and following Ling Tianji's order, disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion of the Holy Academy came up carrying alchemy tables, alchemy tripods, alchemy furnaces and other alchemy equipment.

On the other side, there are disciples of Dan Pavilion carrying alchemy materials to the competition venue.

They arranged the alchemy tables one by one, put the alchemy tripod on it, and distributed the alchemy materials in order.

The alchemy materials are very simple, only a green plant root, a piece of dark red old ginseng, and a thumb-sized crystal-clear stone, just like a pebble.

The tools and materials on each Dan table are exactly the same, and there are 62 tables in total.

"Yuzhi root, Tiger Roaring Ginseng, and Dragon Essence Stone, are they meant to refine 'Dragon Essence and Tiger Pill'?" Lin Yi immediately had a judgment in his mind after seeing those alchemy materials.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Tianji's words really confirmed Lin Yi's conjecture: "The audition battle is the first round of the alchemy competition, and the title is 'Dragon Essence Tiger Ferocious Pill'!"

"The refining time is limited to a stick of incense. The higher the degree of completion and the better the quality, the higher the score, and the top ten scorers will enter the next round of competition."

……

"Dragon Essence Tiger Ferocious Pill? What kind of elixir is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Someone in the audience asked suspiciously.

Immediately afterwards, a more experienced person answered: "You are not an alchemist, how could you know? As far as I know, the Dragon Essence Tiger Pill is a kind of elixir that is relatively easy to refine in the alchemist industry. Because The steps are short and easy to use, as for the effect, hehe, it can keep you from falling down at night, how about it, is it amazing?"

"I'll go, how do you know? It's not nonsense, is it?"

"Why did you lie to you? A distant cousin of mine is an alchemist. When he was making alchemy, I overheard..."
