Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the sect competition arrived.

Ling Xiao's reputation within the sect has spread far and wide, and many disciples are full of expectations for his performance.

Ling Xiao himself had made full preparations, and he was determined to make a name for himself in the competition and let everyone see his strength.

On the day of the competition, the sect was bustling with activity. Numerous disciples gathered in the training ground, awaiting the start of the matches. The sect leader stood on the high platform and announced the official commencement of the competition.

The competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final, and final. Each stage will eliminate some disciples, and the top three will be determined in the end.

The rules for the preliminary round are that each participating disciple must complete a task within a specified time, which involves refining a designated elixir.

Ling Xiao drew a relatively simple task, which required him to refine a low-level pill called "Minor Rejuvenation Pill".

Although this elixir was not of high grade, it required a very strict level of basic alchemy skills. Upon receiving the task, Ling Xiao immediately began preparations. He skillfully placed the various medicinal herbs into the furnace in the correct order, then circulated his spiritual energy to control the temperature of the fire.

His movements were fluid and seamless, drawing admiration from the surrounding disciples. As time passed, a rich medicinal fragrance emanated from the alchemy furnace.

Ling Xiao was overjoyed, knowing that the pills were nearing completion. The moment he opened the furnace, several pills emitting a white light appeared before his eyes.

The judges all showed satisfied expressions upon seeing the results. After the judges' scoring, Ling Xiao successfully passed the preliminary round and advanced to the semi-finals.

The rules for the semi-finals are even stricter. Each participating disciple needs to complete two tasks within a specified time: one is to refine elixirs, and the other is to compete in martial arts.

Ling Xiao performed exceptionally well in the alchemy task, successfully refining a mid-grade pill called "Qi Nourishing Pill," whose quality received unanimous praise from the judges.

In the martial arts competition, Ling Xiao demonstrated formidable strength, easily defeating his opponent with his superb skills and agile movements. After fierce competition in the semi-finals, Ling Xiao successfully advanced to the finals.

The rules for the finals are that each participating disciple must complete three tasks within a specified time: refining elixirs, engaging in martial arts competitions, and completing a mysterious challenge.

On the day of the finals, the atmosphere in the training ground was tense. Many disciples gathered together, waiting for the competition to begin.

The sect leader stood on the high platform and announced the official start of the finals. The first task was to refine pills. Ling Xiao drew a relatively difficult pill recipe and needed to refine a high-grade pill called "Nine-Turn Golden Pill".

This kind of elixir has very high requirements for the medicinal materials, and it is also very difficult to refine. After Ling Xiao obtained the elixir formula, he immediately began preparations.

He carefully studied the prescription, understanding the various medicinal materials required and their properties. Then, following the prescription's instructions, he prepared each medicinal material and placed them into the alchemy furnace.

During the alchemy process, Ling Xiao was completely focused, carefully controlling the temperature of the furnace fire. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes remained steadfast.

As time passed, a rich medicinal fragrance emanated from the alchemy furnace, and Ling Xiao knew that the pills were nearing completion. The moment he opened the furnace, several pills radiating golden light appeared before his eyes.

The judges were all surprised when they saw it. They hadn't expected Ling Xiao to be able to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Pill so smoothly, and with such high quality.

The second task was a martial arts competition. Ling Xiao's opponent was a powerful disciple from the sect named Li Yan.

Li Yan was known as a "genius" within the sect, and his cultivation was even higher than Ling Xiao's.

After the match began, Li Yan launched the first attack, channeling his spiritual energy and unleashing a powerful martial technique towards Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao, undaunted, met him head-on, engaging in a fierce battle with Li Yan.

The two exchanged blows, their battle incredibly intense. Ling Xiao constantly searched for Li Yan's weaknesses during the fight, while simultaneously improving his own combat skills.

After a fierce battle, Ling Xiao finally found Li Yan's weakness. He seized the opportunity and defeated Li Yan in one move. The entire arena fell silent as everyone stared at Ling Xiao in disbelief.

They never expected that this usually unremarkable disciple would be able to defeat Li Yan and demonstrate such formidable strength.

The final task is to complete a mysterious challenge. The sect leader announced, "The final task is to find a mysterious spirit pearl hidden in the back mountain of the sect. You need to find it within the specified time and bring it back to the training ground."

Upon hearing about the mission, Ling Xiao immediately headed towards the back mountain.

He knew this mission would test not only his disciples' strength, but also their wisdom and luck. In the back mountains, Ling Xiao encountered many difficulties and challenges. He needed to traverse dense forests, climb steep peaks, and face various dangerous wild beasts.

But with his strength and wisdom, he overcame these difficulties one by one. After much effort, Ling Xiao finally found the mysterious spirit pearl on the summit of a mountain. He carefully picked up the spirit pearl and then quickly returned to the training ground.

When he returned to the training ground, the other disciples were still searching for the Spirit Pearl in the back mountain. Ling Xiao handed the Spirit Pearl to the sect leader, who smiled with satisfaction upon seeing it.

After comprehensive evaluation by the judges, Ling Xiao ultimately won the championship of the sect competition. The sect leader personally presented him with the prize and highly praised his performance.

Ling Xiao stood out in the competition and became a hero within the sect. His name spread like wildfire throughout the sect, and many disciples looked at him with new respect.

Ling Xiao was not arrogant because of this. He knew his goal was to become a powerful alchemist and make greater contributions to the sect. In the days that followed, Ling Xiao continued to study alchemy techniques diligently, constantly improving his strength.

His alchemy skills have reached a very high level, enabling him to refine many high-grade pills. His cultivation level is also constantly improving, making him one of the best among the younger generation of disciples in the sect.

He knew that achieving good results in the sect competition would not only bring him more resources and rewards, but also enhance his status within the sect.

Ling Xiao was determined to make a name for himself in the competition and show everyone his strength. In the time leading up to the competition, Ling Xiao worked even harder in his cultivation and alchemy.

He spent a lot of time in the training ground every day, constantly practicing martial arts and techniques. His clothes were soaked with sweat, but he never complained.

In alchemy, Ling Xiao is constantly trying new formulas and refining methods. He hopes to refine higher-grade pills and showcase his alchemy talent in the competition.
