Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 340 Am I really inferior to Dan Chenzi?

 The high platform for the alchemy competition.

 An anxious atmosphere spread undeniably as Luo Chen successfully dealt with the Guiyuan cicada.

 Every alchemist’s heart becomes heavy.

 Someone is already ahead!

 The most anxious people in the field were the three alchemists who initially chose to proceed from easy to difficult and process the first-level medicinal materials in advance.

 They have already dealt with Zhanxingcao, Azure Aloe, and Red Flame Ganoderma.

 Then, when facing two second-level medicinal materials, I ran into trouble.

Blue smoke jade is okay.

  But how to deal with the Guiyuan cicada slough is a huge problem facing us.

 Not everyone can multitask.

They naturally cannot handle the medicinal materials in their hands while monitoring the refining process of Luo Chen, Danyangzi and others.

Even Xuanyunzi realized that he had gone astray through the tip of the iceberg revealed during Luo Chen's treatment.

 Then, I re-analyzed pharmacology and embarked on the path of Luo Chen.

 The advantage of this is that the direction is right, but the speed is slower.

  Can be other people.

 Not so lucky.

 They have missed the opportunity for Luo Chen to deal with the cicada's shedding in Guiyuan.

 There is no place to learn if you want to.

 For a moment, the three forerunners froze there.

 Among the few remaining people.

 The alchemist of the Fu family fell into deep thought as he looked at the failed treatment of the Guiyuan cicada in the glazed cauldron.

He first looked at Luo Chen, then at Danyangzi who was neither hurry nor slow, and finally at Xuanyunzi.

 After a long time, he made a decision.

There are three materials in total and one failure. The error tolerance rate is already very low.

 Let’s first process the other four materials into corresponding finished products.

 Then, use the last part to try to deal with Guiyuan Cicada.

As for the method, he had already learned a bit from Xuanyunzi.

 This can be considered as learning from Luo Chen.

 Compared to his calm decision, the other person was not so calm.

Looking at Luo Chen who was enjoying the admiration of everyone, Huang Hezi lowered his head and looked at the Guiyuan cicada that he had processed.

 Having retained most of her vitality.

 However, the cicada's slough did not reach the level of "translucent blue sky" at all.

  In other words, it contains a lot of impurities!

 There is no doubt that this is a failure.

 It cannot be used for medicine!

"how could this be?"

“Obviously, from a pharmacological point of view, my treatment method is correct!”

 “What went wrong?”

 “Why can Dan Chenzi succeed? Why can he succeed!”

“In terms of age, qualifications, and background, he shouldn’t be the first to succeed!”

The furious Huang Hezi stood there, his old body trembling a little.

So much so that even if I change my mind and make sure to make the choice of the first four materials, I still can’t make it.

 The reason why he lost his composure was naturally because on the way to the alchemy path, which he was most proud of, he was hit head-on by Sanxiu Luochen, whom he looked down upon at all.

 Such a blow to Huang Hezi who devoted his whole life to Alchemy.

 It’s really unacceptable!

Especially when Danyangzi completed the process of Guiyuan cicada's sloughing, the second one was handed over to the elders and was judged to be qualified.

 His mentality is a little unstable.

“In this first round, I consider myself to be no weaker than anyone else, and I am rushing to be first.”

“Why are you so far behind now?”

 No one told him the answer.

In this world, some people have talents, some have "opportunities", and some have the mentality to make a decision when it's time to do so.

If there are none of these three, then the whole body will be accomplished and the head will be visible at a glance.

The elder of Tai Danzhang glanced at Huang Hezi, who was in a state of confusion, and couldn't help but shake his head imperceptibly.

Although he is a second-level alchemist, he did not receive the title of Qingdan Seventh Son until he was more than two hundred years old.

 The truly outstanding alchemists at this age have already been invited by them to join the Tai Alchemy Academy.

This Huang Hezi!

 It’s really something wrong!

"On the contrary, this Dan Chenzi's alchemy foundation is too terrifying!"

In his eyes, and in the eyes of the tens of thousands of monks watching the game in Qingdan Valley, Luo Chen's hands seemed to be handling the remaining three medicinal materials slowly and quickly.

 Sometimes it dances like a butterfly through flowers.

 Sometimes she is like a beautiful **** the sand, lightly washing her clothes.

Alchemy that seems to have no pyrotechnics, but when it falls on the red flame Ganoderma lucidum, it is full of warmth, as if the delicious food is steaming and the clouds are steaming during the use of the magic formula.

 It took Luo Chen half an hour to deal with the Guiyuan cicada.

 Meanwhile, he handled the Zhanxingcao smoothly with his sincerity.

Now, when he was dealing with the remaining three medicinal materials, his speed surged instantly.

 When all the processed materials are handed over to the dean of Taidan.

 Just one more stick of incense time has passed.

 “Zhanxingcao, perfect!”

 “Azure Aloe, perfect!”

 “Red Flame Ganoderma, perfect!”

 “Blue smoke jade, perfect!”

 “Guiyuan cicada sheds, perfect!”

　　Looking at Luo Chen who was leisurely and at ease, the elder of Tai Dan took a deep breath.

“Five materials, all finished products are perfect, and the time is always the best!”

“The Tao family worships Dan Chenzi and ranks first in the alchemy competition!”

 The first time he gave an immediate evaluation.

There are countless people waiting with bated breath.

 When he said the "number one", the breath he had been holding came out suddenly.

Luo Chen stood on the high platform, and his excellent eyesight allowed him to see the moving lips of countless disciples outside.

Although there is a soundproof formation to block it, most monks know how to read the mouth shape.

Even if he couldn't hear it, there must have been an uproar outside at this moment, and the sound reached into the sky!

 This is good!

 Sufficient shock can establish his reputation as Dan Chenzi.

 Just the Fire Spirit Lord, he is not yet able to rule the roost during the foundation building stage.

Only the Taoist title of Dan Chenzi can allow him to escape from the limitations of his realm and communicate with higher-level beings on an equal footing as a master of alchemy!

 And this is just the beginning!

"Now that it's done, go down and rest! There are still two more tests, which are also the two most demanding ones. You have to be prepared."

 The elder Taidanzhang said this.

Luo Chen clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Master, for your advice. I will go down and prepare now."

 Seeing him being so polite, the elder of Taidan Dean could not help stroking his beard and showing a kind smile.

The earliest disgust and displeasure have long since disappeared!

Tanshou opened the formation and said: "Second round, keep up the good work!"

 Luo Chen nodded.

This old man is quite a nice person.

Obviously they are not the alchemists of Qingdan Valley, and those who win their ancestors are not unpleasant, but fortunately encourage them.

The moment he stepped out of the formation, countless eyes fell on him.

 If it were an ordinary person, I would probably feel like a thorn in the back.

 But he smiled casually, and a cloud of spiritual energy gathered under his feet, fluttering towards the Tao family's high platform.

 Wherever he passed, countless eyes followed him.

The great true disciples on the other high platforms also looked at him with different meanings.

  Or surprise, or scrutiny, or curiosity, or disgust.

 Among them, there are many people who are interested in him.

Of course, Luo Chen can also feel the angry and malicious looks.

He ignored him at all, and with his wide sleeves and broad belt fluttering, he stepped into a sea of ​​cheers and congratulations.

 Across the crowd.

 The woman in a high position smiled at him.

Luo Chen nodded slightly and then went to the quiet room at the back.

 …

 Shortly after Luo Chen left.

 On the alchemy stage, the second person also appeared soon.

 It is surprisingly that Danyangzi.

He was the second to complete the treatment of Guiyuan cicada in a neutral and peaceful manner, without any hurry or delay.

 The most difficult step is completed.

 The following materials are not that difficult for him.

 It took a little more effort than Luo Chen to get the finished product.

 While delivering the materials, Dean Taidan looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Why bother?" Danyangzi kept silent and walked straight away.

 In his expression, he didn't seem to be upset at all about being second to Luo Chen.

“Next, it should be Xuanyunzi, and then Fu Huai!”

"On the other hand, this Huang Hezi has a solid foundation, but because of confusion, his speed has reached the end. I don't know where he has gone in all these years of alchemy refining."

 …

 The disturbances from the outside world have nothing to do with Luo Chen at this moment.

 He glanced curiously at a piece of incense specially sent by Tao Yisheng.

。

The ancestor of the Tao family, a native of Nanshan, developed a spiritual incense that can quickly restore tiredness and make you feel happy.

Not only that, monks can also enter the state instantly when they meditate and adjust their breath.

 A kind of spiritual incense that seems to have ordinary effects, but has a miraculous effect on restoring the monk's state.

 A faint fragrance of chrysanthemum lingers in the nostrils.

Tao Wan is really thoughtful!

Luo Chen no longer paid attention to Youranxiang, but focused on the two pill prescriptions in his hand.

 The second and third games were all about refining elixirs.

 The difficulty of both elixirs is not high.

Even the second-level dust-reducing elixir can be easily refined by Luo Chen after getting started with the system.

“So, the next two games are not difficult for me at all.”

“Others, even Danyang Zi, who has a terrifying talent for alchemy, was exhausted from fighting in the past half month and had very little time to study the alchemy recipe, so they cannot be my opponent.”

 “In this case, my only opponent is myself!”

 …

  In the second round of alchemy competition, the rest time is very short.

 But because Luo Chen finished first, he rested for a full hour.

When he set foot on the alchemy platform again with great energy, he clearly found that there were only a small number of alchemists in the arena, and they were not in perfect condition.

 “You haven’t had enough rest!”

 When he looks at others, others are naturally looking at him.

  After all, he is the absolute winner of the first round!

 Still a casual alchemist with no apprenticeship.

With so many people watching, how could he not attract attention by defeating them forcefully?

 Danyangzi glanced at Luo Chen, and then looked at the pile of materials in front of him expressionlessly.

 He is ready to make alchemy alone.

Xuan Yunzi was not in a hurry, looked at Luo Chen, and even nodded to him in a friendly manner.

  seems not to be affected at all.

 Just now he was the third to finish the race.

 After stepping down, He Yuanqing did not receive much scolding.

Facts have proven that his decision to destroy the wrong materials and choose a new path was correct.

It is impossible for He Yuanqing to criticize him too much in front of other people.

 Instead, it was Huang Hezi.

At this moment, my head is lowered, full of anger, and there is nowhere to vent it.

 In the last round, he only finished sixth.

After getting down, although Shangguan Yan did not criticize him harshly, the questioning looks in other people's eyes were even more uncomfortable than slapping him.

 “This time, we must not lose!”

“That Dan Chenzi is so arrogant that he didn’t ask for help in refining the pill. I will definitely be able to suppress him!”

“Let’s pay back the shame of the last one!”

While roaring in his heart, he whispered to the two people around him: "When I make the elixir later, support me with all your strength, and there must be no mistakes!"

The two people looked a little nervous and nodded quickly.

This scene didn’t just happen to Huang Hezi.

Other alchemists are more or less surrounded by two or three logistics monks who assist in alchemy.

 In the entire arena, there were only Luo Chen and Dan Yangzi, and they were all alone.

Countless monks outside naturally discovered this situation.

 There has been a lot of discussion about this.

“Elder brother can’t ask for help from the medicine apprentices and pyrotechnics. It’s understandable. After all, the second round is restricted.”

 “Why is that Dan Chenzi also alone?”

“Didn’t the Tao family give him support?”

"It's also possible that he is the kind of person who is used to refining elixirs behind closed doors, and is used to being alone?"

“It’s all possible, otherwise, where can I hone a superb alchemy skill?”

“It’s just that in this way, his alchemy speed will be lagged behind by others!”

 Confronting these discussions.

The nine people present turned a deaf ear.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Elder Taidan Dean.

Time is up!

“The second round of the second round, refining the first-level spirit-feeding pills, each person has ten ingredients, and it will be terminated when used up.”

“The requirements for becoming a pill must be at least low grade. Any defective product will be considered a failure!”

 “Now, the game begins!”

 After giving the order, everyone started to move.

 Among them, the two people who made the most noise were clearly Dan Chenzi and Dan Yangzi.

 Both of them had no helpers and had to deal with the semi-finished materials by themselves.

 Therefore, there is a lot of movement and noise.

 And the operation of the two people once again surprised everyone.

 “What a smooth processing of medicinal materials and skillful alchemy!”

“Multi-tasking and processing three materials at the same time, Dan Chenzi can do as much as three people!”

“Eldest brother is no less willing to give in, his fire control skills are very good!”

 Luo Chen has no time to pay attention to others.

 While processing the materials, he controlled the earth fire to slowly burn the alchemy cauldron.

 After heating to a certain level, some semi-finished materials were directly put into the Danding one after another.

This strange scene once again attracted the attention of the elder Taidan Dean.

“Does this mean refining and processing medicinal materials at the same time?”

"But in this case, the requirements for controlling the underground fire have reached an extremely strict level. How can he have such confidence?"

 The elder Tai Dan frowned slightly.

 But gradually, he saw the way.

 “Use fire to melt air, use air to control fire!”

"He is not refining elixir with the help of earth fire. He has clearly integrated the external earth fire with spiritual power, and can control it like an arm."

“Not only does this boy have terrifying proficiency in basic alchemy techniques, but his control of alchemy fire has also reached an extremely advanced level.”

“In this way, Danyangzi will be widened.”

 It seemed to be just as he expected.

If we say that the speeds of Danyangzi and Luo Chen were roughly the same before.

When it came to refining later, Luo Chen relied on his skillful fire-melting method and multi-tasking to gradually widen the gap.

 It is not Danyang who is worse than a human being.

But the other party is usually used to using the Purple Sky Fire to make elixirs. Now he is not allowed to use this powerful weapon and can only use conventional methods to make elixirs.

 On the contrary, he became less skillful.

 But it is only a little slower than Luo Chen. His speed is still higher than others with helpers!

“If nothing else happens, the top three have already been booked by Dan Chenzi and Danyangzi.”

“The top five winners of the three rounds, plus Xuan Yunzi, a good youngster, leave only two spots for others to compete for.”

 For the elders of Taidanzhang who are experienced in alchemy.

 Just through some details, the subsequent winning or losing trend has been roughly determined.

as expected.

 As the faint fragrance of elixir spread from Luo Chen's alchemy cauldron, many things became self-evident.

 Huang Hezi, who was the nearest, naturally smelled the fragrance of red pepper.

　　It was not from his own Danding, but from Luo Chen, whom he regarded as his formidable enemy.

At that moment, he looked a little dazed.

how could this be?

You have helpers, but you can't compare to them?

It was this confusion that led him to make a big mistake.

“Uncle Master, there seems to be something wrong with the condensation pill!”

“I can’t hold back the power of the medicine anymore, uncle, take action quickly!”

 Huang Hezi woke up suddenly and subconsciously cast the spirit spell.

 However, it was already too late.

He silently looked at the dark, shapeless waste liquid in the glazed cauldron, feeling a little chilled in his heart.

 An inexplicable thought came to mind.

 No wonder Tao Wan looks down on me.

 Am I really not as good as Dan Chenzi?
