Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 329 Basic competition, pure confrontation! (asking for monthly ticket)

 In the huge alchemy hall.

 Two second-level alchemists were concentrating on refining the Caiju Pill.

 One of them looked solemn, but also calm.

　　One person is concentrating, but the twitching of his brows shows that he is nervous inside.

 The onlookers all around were "quiet" and did not dare to disturb them.

 It is said to be silent.

 In fact, many people are secretly communicating with each other through spiritual consciousness.

With Luo Chen’s powerful soul, even if he didn’t deliberately eavesdrop, the conversations of some people in the early and middle stages of foundation building could still be clearly heard.

“Tsk, tsk, I have been promoted to the task of supervising Yuan Zhaoguo for ten years, but I didn’t expect that my alchemy skills have failed at all!”

“Not only did he not fall behind, you can see how he used it in Su Xin’s hands, he was calm and skillful.”

"Don't tell me, it's true. I'm afraid I can't even handle this Li Yaju."

 “Looking back at Tao Yichen?”

 “No, it’s too craftsmanship!”

　　“I was very cautious, for fear of destroying the medicinal materials, but I missed the best opportunity to integrate the medicinal power.”

“In my opinion, Tao Yichen’s alchemy skills have fallen down a level compared to Yisheng!”

 “Here comes the point, let’s take a look at the treatment of these five-color chrysanthemums!”

 …

 The alchemy competition is still going on nervously.

Luo Chen just looked at it for a while, then his brows furrowed inadvertently.

“Is this Tao Yichen worthy of being called a second-level alchemist?”

 He was greatly surprised!

The opponent's level is too low.

Could it be said that the other party’s level of alchemy has dropped significantly because he was too busy with worldly affairs?

 That’s not right either!

　　When Tao Yisheng discussed it with him at the beginning, he also made it sound.

 But in actual operation, there were many mistakes.

From this it can be seen that Qingdan Valley’s review of second-level alchemists seems to be very lax?

 Looking at the other enthusiastic foundation-building cultivators, Luo Chen suddenly thought.

“Perhaps it’s not that they are too weak, but that I am too strong?”

Yes!

 In the eyes of the world.

Those alchemists who occasionally refine one or two second-level elixirs can be called second-level alchemists.

For example, Qing Yuanzi relied on the art of raising alchemy and took shortcuts to cultivate third-level elixirs by luck. He also boasted that he was a third-level alchemy master.

 Compared with these so-called "second-level alchemists".

Luo Chen’s alchemy skills were honed by being exposed to tens of thousands of prepared elixirs.

 Even if it’s a second-level elixir!

 He also refined it, at least two to three thousand pieces!

Most of them are top-grade and top-quality elixirs that are the most difficult to refine.

 In comparison, the rest of the people naturally do not deserve to be compared with him.

"Of course, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. For example, these two alchemists from the Tao family are not ranked high in the entire Qingdan Valley, and they have not even received the imperial title."

“It is conceivable that those seven Qingdan disciples must be people with real talents and practical knowledge.”

 “I should not underestimate the heroes of the world!”

 After sighing in his heart, he subconsciously shook his head.

Now, he has completed the Dzogchen of "Ming Shen Sha Sha" and is able to do three things at once.

 I had a lot of daydreams before.

 But he always paid attention to the two people present.

 Hence, we have a fairly detailed understanding of the refining progress of Cai Ju Dan.

Tao Wan saw this.

Curious, he used his spiritual sense to communicate and asked, "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"

Luo Chen said calmly: "It's going to fail."

"who?"

 “All failed!”

As soon as these words came out, Tao Wan couldn't help but look suspicious.

She herself is not a great alchemist.

 But he grew up in a large alchemy sect since he was a child, and he still has some discernment in judging the refining of elixirs.

“Tao Yichen may fail, but every step of my brother’s steps is perfect, which is obviously a sign of success!”

 It’s not just her.

The rest of the foundation-building cultivators in the field, as long as they have some discernment, have already discovered the huge gap in the level of alchemy between Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen.

Especially on the side of the clan leader Tao Daonan.

 Many people now have a look of fear.

There were even more messages, quietly gathering towards Tao Daonan.

However, although Tao Daonan's face was ugly, he still remained calm and did not interfere with his words.

 Alchemy is still going on.

  After a while.

 A clear and audible explosion was heard in the bronze tripod.

 All eyes gathered together, and what they saw was Tao Yichen's extremely pale, bloodless face.

"I failed."

　　With a murmur, his body seemed to be trembling.

"well…"

 A sigh came from Tao Daonan's mouth.

 He did not blame the other party.

Tao Yichen originally had some talent in alchemy. Not only did he pass the theoretical test in Qingdan Valley, but he was also lucky enough to refine a second-level elixir.

But later he disliked the work of alchemy, which was too repetitive, too insensitive, and delayed in practice, so he gave up and continued to work hard.

 Instead, he focused his energy on handling the Tao family's internal affairs.

If I had been cruel and forced him to continue studying alchemy.

How can we be as embarrassed as we are today?

 Shaked his head, his eyes fell on Tao Yisheng.

“Could he really succeed in one attempt?”

 Everyone’s eyes, including Tao Yichen’s failure, were focused on Tao Yisheng.

 In the past, under the spotlight, he might have panicked.

 Perhaps the alchemy movements will be deformed.

But in the year when Luotian Hui Dan Hall was refining pills, Qu Lingjun, Mi Li and others would follow him from time to time.

 He was used to being watched.

 Even if he was refining a simple first-level elixir, he could be distracted and give some pointers.

 At this moment, he is under the watchful eyes of everyone.

 He remained calm and maintained the final finishing work of Caijudan.

Seeing this, Tao Wan couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

 My frizzy younger brother seems to have grown a lot in the past ten years.

Has a bit of the style of a general like a mountain that collapses in front but remains unchanged, a deer that rises to the left but does not blink!

 “It should be successful, right?”

 She murmured in her heart.

 …

 With everyone's expectations, Tao Yisheng played the last spiritual secret.

 The fire on earth fell back, and the bronze cauldron trembled slightly.

 A scent of elixir, like chrysanthemums and orchids, hits my face.

 “Succeeded?”

 “That’s not right!”

 “There’s a hint of burnt smell!”

"This is…"

Tao Yisheng, who was still happy at first, turned visibly worse when he took out the three pills, which were only green and yellow.

 At this time.

Tao Daonan's voice sounded at the right time.

“The color is green and yellow, less than three colors, this elixir is not finished, it is a waste elixir!”

 Almost at the same time.

Tao Wan brushed her eyes and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Luo Chen.

The other person shrugged and spread his hands.

ˆ˜ means that although I guessed it right, it has nothing to do with me.

Tao Wan nodded and looked away.

 Just as the other party expected, it failed.

 However, there are levels of failure!

 She looked at Tao Daonan with burning eyes.

“Tao Yichen’s elixir refining collapsed halfway and he did not complete the final step of making the elixir.”

“Although Yi Sheng also failed, he refined the two-color chrysanthemum pill, which shows that his alchemy skills are far superior to his.”

"The hierarchy has been divided. The clan leader should have made a decision about the position of head of the family!"

 Most of the people present.

Even many of the foundation-building cultivators who stood on Tao Daonan’s side subconsciously nodded.

 Indeed, the alchemy skills of both sides have been divided!

The position of the head of the household...

 Unexpectedly!

"Hahaha!"

 The old laughter sounded among everyone's astonishment.

Tao Daonan pointed to the useless elixir in Tao Yisheng's hand and said: "Those who have traveled a hundred miles are only half a mile! What is the difference between not reaching the end and just starting out?"

“That’s not what I said.” Tao Wan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Tao Daonan shook his head, "Then what should I say? Take these three waste pills and Yi Chen's pile of shapeless waste and sell them to others. Is it because you are closer to success that you can sell more souls?" stone?"

 “No, it’s worthless too!”

 “Wait Dan, it is Waste Dan!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

 But at the same time I was shocked, I felt that nothing was wrong.

 Others will not use their hard-earned spiritual stones to buy you a useless elixir just because you are good at alchemy.

 So, according to the results, both Tao Yisheng and Tao Yichen failed.

How can we differentiate between superior and inferior?

There are many people who agree with this concept.

 Among them, even Luo Chen is included.

He failed countless times in refining the chalcedony pill, and accumulated tens of thousands of waste chalcedony beads.

 No one spends a lot of money to buy defective products.

On the stage, Tao Yisheng's face also turned a little pale.

 He couldn't accept this result, and neither could Tao Wan.     “In my opinion!”

Tao Daonan’s words continue.

"Yisheng is still too young after all. The position of head of the family must be filled by the experienced, mature and prudent Yichen."

 Tao Yichen is his own grandson!

 Let him be the head of the family, which is no different from Tao Daonan himself taking charge of the family.

Tao Wan sneered, glanced at Tao Yisheng, and said slowly: "Since you said it was unsuccessful, it is a failure. Then why not continue to refine the elixir, and the results will be known today."

“I think it’s not necessary!” Tao Daonan frowned.

"No, it's very necessary!" Tao Wan looked around at the crowd and said solemnly: "Do you want to hear from outside that I, the head of the Tao family, was selected from two losers?"

 Picked out of two losers?

That’s still a loser!

 Under Tao Wan's solemn gaze, everyone was unable to refute for a moment.

 In other words, Tao Wan's foundation-building cultivator didn't want to refute at all.

 They all spoke out in support of the continuation of the alchemy competition.

 Even Tao Daonan could not give any reason to object.

 The head of the family is different from the patriarch.

The latter is responsible for matters such as sacrifices, bloodline inheritance, etiquette and respect, etc., and is often the responsibility of the elders with high prestige in the family.

 But the former is responsible for many things, large and small, both internally and externally.

 What is needed is young and promising, and what is needed is strong strength.

  represents the face of a family!

He even said that when people outside see you, they will know that behind you is a big family that has experienced rise and fall in glory and disgrace!

This kind of identity cannot tolerate being tainted as a "loser" from the beginning.

　Seeing that no one has any objection.

Tao Wan suddenly turned her head and said, "You've all had enough rest!"

 “Continue to make alchemy!”

 “If you can’t refine the colorful chrysanthemum pill, you are not allowed to stop.”

"Whoever refines it will be the new head of my Xiaonanshan Tao family!"

 Nothing to say.

Tao Yisheng naturally directed the medicine disciples to help him prepare new raw materials, asked the firemen to clear the underground fire channels, and asked the alchemists to clean the bronze cauldron that was dirty due to the previous alchemy.

 Looking proficient, as if he had experienced this situation many times.

This was all what he had learned over the past year when he was sent to Luotianhui by Luo Chen to work as a coolie.

On the other side, Tao Yichen reluctantly cheered up and started doing similar work as usual.

 In a short while.

 The fire on earth is reignited!

 Alchemy is back!

Until this moment, the tense atmosphere that had become tense due to a tit-for-tat confrontation gradually calmed down.

Tao Wan glanced at Luo Chen several times without being noticed.

 In my heart, I felt quite emotional.

Today's dispute over the head of the family came to her suddenly after she saw Tao Yisheng's recent transformation and learned that his alchemy skills had greatly improved.

  But in this.

But it also contains another idea of ​​hers.

 That’s a simple test of Luo Chen’s abilities!

As for Luo Chen's alchemy attainments, she only heard her younger brother brag about him and Tantai Xun praised him a few times.

 Although later, I collected information about the other party and learned that Luo Chen was also known as Dan Chenzi.

 But I still have some doubts in my heart.

It is extremely difficult for oneself to compete for the position of Tao Seed.

 Must not fall in the second round!

If Luo Chen was not worthy of his name, she would not mind changing his general at the last minute and replacing him with a second-level alchemist who was weaker than Huang Hezi.

 No more than that.

In this internal alchemy competition within the Tao family, Luo Chen has shown a vision comparable to that of an alchemy master!

 When everyone thought that Tao Yisheng would succeed.

 But he told in advance that the other party would fail in the future!

“Even we, who come from a large alchemy sect and have been exposed to it since childhood, can’t judge it.”

 “But he said it right.”

 “Under the excellent eyesight, there is an extremely confident alchemy attainment!”

"In this way, no matter whether Yisheng is successful or not, my goal has been achieved!"

 These thoughts flashed through my mind.

 The expression on the woman's face also became more and more calm.

This scene fell in the eyes of Tao Daonan opposite, making him feel impatient without realizing it.

"If this continues, Yi Chen will lose sooner or later!"

 …

 The Tao family's internal alchemy competition is still going on.

 Since the first failure, the second failure came quickly.

 After a brief rest, we continued at Tao Wan’s insistence.

one day!

 Two days!

Even in the middle of the journey, sufficient time is given to rest, but for these pampered family monks.

They are still not used to refining alchemy for such a long time.

Like Tao Yichen, looking at another failure, his eyes were dull and he looked like he was dead.

Only Tao Yisheng, even though he was squandering his spiritual power and overusing his spiritual consciousness, his face turned pale.

 But his eyes were piercing and brighter.

Tao Wan, who had been paying attention to the progress, suddenly twitched his ears.

 She subconsciously looked at Luo Chen.

 Seeing the other party, he nodded slightly and imperceptibly to her.

 In an instant, her eyes lit up.

 This time, if nothing unexpected happens, Tao Yisheng will succeed!

It seems that Tao Daonan can no longer bear it because of the successive failures and the atmosphere of constant stalemate.

 Such a stalemate is clearly a challenge to his authority.

"enough!"

“There is no need to continue this farce!”

Tao Wan looked at him coldly, "The outcome has not yet been determined, so why can't we continue? Besides, it's a farce? Does the patriarch think that our Tao family's selection of the head of the family is a farce?"

Tao Daonan's face was gloomy, "Tao Wan, you don't need to provoke me with words. Isn't it that you did this to gather the strength of the family and compete for the position of the Taoist seed?"

 “So what!”

Tao Wan raised his eyebrows and did his duty.

Tao Daonan’s expression froze.

 He didn’t expect that the other party would admit it so openly.

 For a moment, he really didn’t know how to deal with the other party.

 Suddenly!

 His eyes turned to Tao Yisheng who was refining the elixir.

“I am the patriarch and I have the power to appoint the head of the family. This farce should end!”

As he spoke, a majestic wave of spiritual energy was released instantly.

at the same time.

 Tao Wan's body also suddenly erupted with a powerful wave of spiritual energy.

 The two collided with each other in an instant, and for a while they were at a stalemate!

This is the purest competition of foundation, without any fighting methods or any subtle spells.

The comparison is about who has a higher realm and whose spiritual power is purer and greater.

 After about three breaths.

boom!

Tao Daonan's face turned pale, his beard was on his face, and his robes seemed to have been blown by a strong wind, all of them flying back.

Tao Wan took a step forward, and a powerful and confident momentum burst out.

"you're old!"

 “It’s time to abdicate long ago!”

“Under your leadership, the Tao family will surely fall!”

“Now, the Tao family should be led by my sister and brother to reach the top!”

 Every word is like five thunders striking the top, constantly bombarding the old man's heart and mind.

　　Boom!

Tao Daonan's spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly dissipated, leaving him unable to resist.

He himself took a few steps back in embarrassment.

 Almost at the same time.

A refreshing fragrance of chrysanthemum spreads from the alchemy hall.

At Tao Yichen's desperate gaze, Tao Yisheng jumped up and raised his hand towards the bronze tripod.

 Three pills fell into his hands.

Green, yellow and white, the three colors complement each other and are included in the second-level low-grade!

 “Sister, I’m done! I’m finally done! Hahaha…”

Holding the three pills, Tao Yisheng's pale face was full of excitement.

Tao Wan subconsciously glanced at Luo Chen who was retreating behind everyone, and then said loudly:

"Congratulations!"

“Everyone, please hurry up and meet the master of the Tao family!”

The foundation-building cultivators of her lineage immediately shouted, "I've met the master of the family!"

 The rest of the foundation-building cultivators looked at each other in confusion.

But after Tao Wan's sharp eyes glanced at him, he still managed to shout out that sentence.

 “I’ve met the master of the house!”

Tao Wan smiled brightly and looked at Tao Daonan again.

“Head of the family, if there is a new head of the Tao family, do we need to hold a family meeting to announce this?”

Tao Daonan has a messy beard and a gloomy face.

 Looked at the two siblings with hatred.

 “It will be held tomorrow!”

 After saying that, he walked away.

 He lost the battle between the heads of the family.

　　Not only was he defeated by Tao Yisheng, but he was also defeated by the powerful Tao Wan.

He never expected that Tao Wan would be so powerful now. Even if she faced him head-on, she would still not be inferior at all, and even overwhelm him.

 In full view.

Everyone knows that Tao Daonan was completely defeated.

 From then on, all prestige was lost.

 Leaved the alchemy room.

 The dazzling sunlight hit his face, and he subconsciously fell into a trance.

After opening his eyes, Tao Daonan was a little confused.

 “Am I really old?”
