Immortality, starting from the heaven and earth

"One hundred and seventy-eight alchemy masters, there are many more than I imagined."

Ji Yi secretly thought in his heart.

Although through Zhao Yulou's narration, Lin Yi knew that most of the 178 alchemy masters were first- and second-grade alchemy masters.

Among them, there are only about thirty third-grade alchemy masters, and there are only four fourth-grade alchemy masters including himself.

But being able to gather so many alchemy masters shows that Shanyue Immortal City has indeed been solving the problem of elixirs.

As long as half of these alchemy masters can stay and settle in the fairy city for a long time, Lin Yi will save a lot of trouble.

"But this alone is not enough. We still need to cultivate another true body of the true immortal realm."

Ji Yi secretly thought in his heart.

Although it is difficult to cultivate the true body of the true immortal realm, as long as there are sufficient resources, it is not a big problem.

But in the middle, I'm afraid it will take at least a thousand years.

If the situation is stable, there will be no need to compete for the leader.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ji Yi's mind, and soon it was time for the alchemy conference to start.

"Coming, coming."

On this day, the streets in the fairy city were deserted.

With the holding of the alchemy conference, almost most of the monks in the city ran to the main venue of the alchemy conference.

In order to recruit enough alchemists to further enhance the overall strength of the Mountain Fairy City.

This time, the Mountain Fairy City cost a huge price.

As the leader's prize, it is a spiritual treasure pill furnace that is extremely rare among Xuanxian monks.

When Ji Yi arrived at the venue, he saw that he was surrounded by monks from all directions.

Among the crowd, there were many flags of alchemy shops, waving flags and cheering for their own alchemists to increase their reputation.

"The Alchemy Conference begins now!"

On the stage, after Zhao Yulou briefly introduced the rules, a loud shout suddenly spread in all directions.

As these words were spoken, a number of famous alchemy masters came to the stage one after another.

Due to the large number of people, this competition is different from the past.

All alchemy masters who participate in alchemy refining choose to refine elixirs of different grades according to their own abilities in full view of the public.

Those who choose to refine a first-grade elixir will be ranked at the lowest level. If the refining fails, they will be eliminated directly.

If the refining is successful, the ranking will be based on the elixir production rate and the quality of the elixir.

But this ranking is lower than the alchemy master who chooses to refine the second-grade elixir, and this is the way up.

If someone chooses to refine a third-grade elixir, even if their own alchemy skills are higher than those of a second-grade elixir master, as long as they fail, they will still be eliminated directly.

This also causes most alchemy masters to choose the level they are good at out of safety when choosing a level.

After the selection was over, Ji Yi looked around and saw that apart from himself, there were only less than five people who chose to refine the fourth-grade elixir.

"No wonder Zhao Yulou said that there are only four people who are qualified to threaten me.

Now it seems that these people are very confident in their alchemy skills. "

Thinking of this, Ji Yi came directly to the alchemy furnace where he was.

The alchemy furnaces for this alchemy conference were all provided by the Mountain Immortal City, and the elixirs refined were all uniformly selected.

For example, the fourth-grade elixir is a unified refining of an elixir called Jinyang Dan.

Looking at the alchemy furnace in front of him, Ji Yi did not choose to make alchemy immediately, but raised his hand and pointed.

"Hoo ho ho!"

With this finger, he saw a sudden flash of fire in the alchemy furnace in front of him, and the furnace began to slowly burn.

For alchemists, the quality of the alchemy furnace innately determines the success rate of alchemy.

Although Lin Yi believed that his alchemy skills would not be inferior to those present, he did not dare to be careless in alchemy.

He had never touched the alchemy furnace in front of him before. Since he could not directly perform sacrifices, he chose to judge the condition of the alchemy furnace through the fire-watching method.

In this way, when the time comes to actually refine the elixir, the temperature of the elixir can be determined through the feedback from the flame burning in the furnace.

Any experienced alchemist, no matter what grade he is, has his own way to test the quality of the alchemy furnace.

if nothing is done

Even the most powerful alchemist may have a furnace explosion.

When Ji Yi first learned alchemy, this kind of thing happened a lot.

"Fire-watching method."

Also refining the fourth-grade golden elixir, Taoist Qingyu, not far from Ji Yi, looked at this scene and his eyes moved slightly.

"It seems that this person should have mastered a kind of fairy fire. If not, he would definitely not use this method."

Taoist Qingyu secretly thought in his heart.

There are many ways to test the alchemy furnace. Just like the alchemy masters in the field at this moment, some use the wind method, some use the water method, and some even confirm by tapping the alchemy furnace.

However, most alchemists use feedback from their own magic power and alchemy furnaces.

This is why Qingyu Taoist judged that Lin Yi should possess a kind of fairy fire.

Because the alchemy furnace in front of them is an alchemy furnace that only immortals can use.

Ordinary fire techniques cannot cause feedback in the alchemy furnace in a short period of time.

"I thought that only three people would pose a threat to me in this alchemy conference, but I never thought that there would be one more person."

Thinking of this, Taoist Qingyu's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.

"That's it."

Ji Yi didn't pay much attention to the observations of outsiders. After confirming the time of one stick of incense with the fire-watching method, he took the elixir.

"Seventy-five kinds of alchemy materials are needed to refine Jinyang Dan, among which three flavors are the main ones."

After briefly thinking about it in his mind, Ji Yi began to deal with various materials.

"Boom!"

As time passed, a full seventy-seven forty-nine days passed before Lin Yi put the last auxiliary materials into the alchemy furnace.

"Without the help of the alchemy furnace of Cave Heaven Paradise, it would take at least about ten years to refine this furnace of Jinyang Pill."

Looking at the burning pill furnace, Ji Yi slowly closed his eyes.

A furnace of pills takes more than ten years.

This is the kind of elixir that is chosen to be quick to produce elixirs. If it is some better elixirs of the same grade, the time will be extended.

This is the purpose of the alchemy conference to save time, otherwise

After all kinds of thoughts flashed through Ji Yi's mind, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Bang, bang"

Two years later, several noises suddenly came from the square.

Ji Yi didn't open his eyes. He just glanced with his consciousness and found out the source of the sound.

It turned out that some alchemy masters who were refining the second-grade elixir failed to prepare the elixir before they were ready to be condensed, causing the furnace to explode.

After a few pillars of black smoke, these unlucky alchemy masters walked away in despair amid the ridicule of the crowd.

Some people fail and some people succeed.

The losers left, while the successful alchemy masters rejoiced in their hearts and once again selected higher-grade elixirs and refined them again.

During this process, the alchemy master who succeeds in refining alchemy does not need to replace other alchemy furnaces.

This is also a big advantage.

But overall, alchemy is an extremely boring thing.

As time passed, except for the monks who wanted to know the results of the competition and the monks who were interested in alchemy, most of the monks watching the fun began to leave one by one.

This also made the crowd that was originally crowded outside the alchemy conference become thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

At this time, in the entire alchemy conference, only the alchemy furnaces of Lin Yi and the five of them were still burning slowly.

However, because it was coming to an end, the venue that had been empty a few years ago became crowded again, ready to witness the final winner.

"It's done!"

On this day, Ji Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him.

"rise!"

As a set of alchemy collecting techniques were played, the alchemy furnace in front of him buzzed, and the lid of the furnace was slowly opened.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a dazzling golden light flew out from the alchemy furnace accompanied by the fire.

"One, two, three, six. Who is this person? With a brand-new alchemy furnace, the elixir success rate has actually reached 60%."

Seeing the pills flying out of the pill furnace one after another, everyone's eyes focused on Ji Yi.

"Six pills, three of good quality, two of excellent quality, and one of excellent quality. Although it is not the best quality in the end, it is not bad."

Looking at the elixir in his hand, Ji Yi thought to himself.

Although the Golden Yang Pill has not been refined many times, Ji Yi is satisfied with this achievement.

"Buzz!"

The moment Ji Yi put away the six pills, his eyes moved and he saw that the pill furnaces of the other four people were also buzzing, and they were opened one after another within less than half an hour.

In the span of a stick of incense, as Zhao Yulou and two other alchemy masters stepped forward, the final results began to be announced.

"In this alchemy conference, the winner, Taoist Qingyu, refined a total of seven elixirs, one of the best, one of the best, three of the best, and two of the good."

"In this alchemy conference, Master Erjia Taibai has refined a total of six elixirs, three of which are good, two are excellent, and one is excellent."

"The top three in this alchemy conference."

Accompanied by loud voices one after another, the alchemy conference also came to an end amidst shouts of surprise from everyone.

"What a risk."

Under the gaze of everyone, Taoist Qingyu looked around, and his eyes flickered on Ji Yi, with a hint of fear and happiness in his eyes.

Originally, he thought that after he performed the alchemy offering technique, he was already 100% sure, but unfortunately he was just one step away from losing.

If Taoist Taoist Taibai hadn't taken the lead in producing the elixir, he could see the truth and the truth, and temporarily lower the level of the elixir to forcibly condense a top-quality elixir.

It’s really hard to say who will win this competition.

"Fortunately, the final result is that I won. In this case, the Song family has no reason to reject my conditions."

Thinking of this, Taoist Qingyu slowly walked onto the podium in the midst of everyone's attention.

"This elixir?"

On the alchemy stage, Lin Yi, whose pseudonym was Taoist Taibai, looked at the top-quality elixirs on the display stage, and his eyes moved slightly.

He seemed to have thought of something at that moment, and quickly looked at the other pills refined by Taoist Qingyu.

"It's the pill offering method."

Just as Ji Yi was looking at it carefully, suddenly a voice sounded like a breath of fresh air.

"I, Taoist Qingyu, have met four fellow Taoists."

Facing everyone's gaze, Qingyu Taoist raised his hands and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I was lucky enough to win this time.

If fellow Taoist Taibai had not taken the lead in producing the elixir, I would not have chosen to use the elixir offering method at the last moment to forcibly produce a top-quality elixir.

This is also the reason why these elixirs seem to be of high grade, but in terms of color and medicinal power, they are weaker than fellow Taoists among the same grade. "

At the end of the sentence, Qingyu Taoist raised his hands to Lin Yi and said.

"Accepted."

"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to do this. The art of offering pills is a magical skill in the alchemy world, not to mention that fellow Taoists have the highest rate of elixir production."

Before Ji Yi could answer, the fourth-grade alchemy master on the side said with a compliment.

"I also hope that I can discuss more techniques in alchemy with fellow Daoist Qingyu in the future."

"It's easy to talk about. When I have free time, I will definitely discuss progress with all my fellow Taoists."

Qingyu Taoist said with a smile on his face.

After hearing this conversation, Ji Yi stopped observing.

Originally, he noticed the anomaly in the elixir, and then he started to observe it, but now that the other party has disclosed it frankly, the slight changes in the elixir are naturally not important.

The method of offering alchemy.

Thinking of these three words, Ji Yi couldn't help but feel a burning look in his eyes.

As the person just said, this alchemy offering method is a magical skill in alchemy.

Ordinary elixirs, using the elixir offering method, will naturally not have much effect.

But if one were to refine a sixth-grade elixir or even a seventh-grade elixir, the results would be completely different.

When practice reaches a critical stage, it is not that the more elixirs the better, on the contrary, some higher-grade elixirs often only require one, and the results will be completely different.

This kind of alchemy technology was only mentioned by Ge Qiu in sighs when Lin Yi was in Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Because even Ge Qiu has never mastered this alchemy technique.

"The higher the level of the alchemy offering method, the more difficult the conditions are. I don't know if this person's alchemy offering method can use pills of grade six or above."

Thinking of this, Ji Yi couldn't help but congratulate him.

The reason why he came to the Mountain Immortal City was to help his fourth senior brother to change the problem with the elixir.

Although he failed to win the first place at the moment, if this green jade Taoist who has mastered the alchemy offering method can be used by their mountain fairy city.

So whether it is for Lin Yi who wants to take a further step in the alchemy path, or for the mountain fairy city, it is a choice that has the best of both worlds.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but look at Zhao Yulou and gave him a look.

Seeing Lin Yi's view, Zhao Yulou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized what he was doing.

"I originally thought that Uncle Lin would be in a bad mood after losing the game, but now it seems that I was thinking too much."

At that moment, Zhao Yulou returned a look of reassurance from his uncle, and then directly invited Taoist Qingyu to get up.
