Chapter 224： Competition (please subscribe)

Chapter 224 Competition (please subscribe)

Alchemy furnaces, weapon refining furnaces and other related tools were provided by Jiuhua Sect, and several witnesses also came forward to inspect them.

After confirming that there were no problems and that the grades were exactly the same, Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin officially came to the field.

Chu Ning and the other four people were arranged to watch from the corner of the high platform here.

When they saw Lu Jiakang holding the jade slip on the alchemy table and frowning slightly, everyone had a rough idea.

This Lu Jiakang did learn some alchemy techniques before this.

As Ge Liuyang said, the techniques of alchemy are quite similar.

But if it is an ordinary intermediate-level low-grade elixir, it is not bad, and it may be possible to refine it.

Intermediate-level elixirs are obviously beyond the scope of Lu Jiakang’s alchemy skills.

On the other hand, the tall Gu Guanlin at the other end has obviously put a lot of effort into alchemy.

The five of us have just determined that there is no slight difference in the refining methods in the two jade slips.

“Two apprentice nephews, you are now competing, and you can only use the Nine Luo Refining Method.”

Even after the competition between the two nephews on the stage, we have to separate them with a soundproof cover to prevent them from communicating with the other four people.

Half an hour later, the old man surnamed Peng announced that the time was up.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible to say how deeply the two of them can master this refining method.

The old man named Peng smiled at Yu Changge and others and said:

“This Nine Luo Refining Method will be compared with the other four later, so I won’t show it to you fellow Taoists for the time being.

At this time, Lu Jiakang was obviously more anxious. He fired several magic formulas and landed on the alchemy furnace.

After the old man named Peng finished speaking, Yu Changge and Ao Langtian both nodded to show their understanding.

I hope these two fellow Taoists will understand this. "

On Lu Jiakang's side, there was no movement at all.

At this time, anyone who has a little knowledge of the art of alchemy can also see the gap between the two.

The ancient crown forest used a fire control technique that looked quite mysterious.

Seeing this scene, many Jiuhua Sect disciples couldn't help but let out a sound of regret.

The white-haired old man surnamed Peng took the elixir and looked at it, then showed it to the other four witnesses before nodding and saying:

As long as Gu Guanlin can refine the elixir, it means that this first victory will belong to Daluo Sect.

Immediately, the old man named Peng began to arrange the next weapon-making competition.

As for the weapon refining materials, I can show them to two fellow Taoists later.

After a period of time passed, the aroma of the elixir could be clearly smelled in the ancient crown forest elixir furnace.

At this time, the old man named Peng spoke again:

Lu Jiakang's various techniques are quite satisfactory and there is nothing special about them.

The two of them refined the elixir separately.

It also announced the failure of Lu Jiakang's alchemy.

“Da Luo Zong Gu Guan Lin refined four elixirs, Jiu Hua Zong Lu Jiakang refined the elixir but failed to make it. In this competition, Da Luo Zong won.”

At this time, the middle-aged Confucian scholar next to the white-haired old man named Peng stood up.

He took the jade slip and examined it carefully. He also started studying the elixir beside him.

The first time he came into contact with the middle-grade elixirs, he was able to make four elixirs. This person's attainments in alchemy are also quite good.

The next process was generally in line with the judgment of everyone present.

Everyone waited silently for Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to check out the Nine Luo Refining Method.

He casually took out two blank jade slips and copied the contents of the jade slip that the old man surnamed Peng had recorded the Nine Luo Refining Method in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but glance at the ancient crown forest on the high platform.

“Fellow Daoist Chen is very knowledgeable in weapon refining. If you didn’t use the methods here, you would naturally be able to tell the difference.”

“Bang!”

Subsequently, the alchemy in Guguanlin was normal.

Even the Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion is estimated to be comparable to only a few people.

After he opened the furnace to get the elixir, he filled a small jade bottle with the elixir and flew it to the white-haired old man named Peng.

Although they also knew that Lu Jiakang was not good at refining alchemy, they still had a little extravagant hope, but now it has completely come to nothing.

As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Then he took the jade slip to the old man named Peng and the four witnesses looked at it one by one.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of a furnace explosion.

An hour later, the white-haired old man named Peng announced that the alchemy had officially begun.

At this moment, he raised his hand and threw the two jade slips towards Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin in the dojo.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded, raised his hand again, and threw two pieces of black metal material towards the two people in the field.

Then, his eyes were fixed on the two people on the field.

The same is true for everyone in the Jiuhua Sect.

Lu Jiakang is the chief deacon of the Jiuhua Sect's Weapon Refining Pavilion. Everyone undoubtedly has great expectations for this competition.

Soon, after the two of them took a look at the materials in their hands, they began to invest in the newly installed refining furnace and began to refine and purify the materials.

Chun Ning's eyes glanced at the two of them, and then fell on Lu Jiakang.

Observe carefully.

 He ​​had basically no contact with the art of weapon refining before, but he has a weapon-refining spirit body, and his sensitivity to the art of weapon refining is far beyond that of ordinary people.

At this moment, I roughly sensed that Lu Jiakang seemed to be slightly better than the ancient crown forest.

So he observed it carefully.

After all, he will also compete with Ao Xuan in this aspect later.

Take this opportunity to get familiar with it first.

Oddly enough, Chu Ning knew nothing about weapon refining before.

But at this moment, looking at Lu Jiakang's weapon refining, he felt something.

I have to say that the spiritual talent given by the system is indeed powerful.

Not only Chu Ning saw it, but gradually, some people with advanced cultivation and those who were familiar with weapon refining also saw it.

Lu Jiakang's performance at this time is obviously even better.

He put the material into the furnace to temper it for a period of time, then took it out and forged it with a hammer.

After repeating this several times, the material in your hand that was originally as big as a fist has become only as big as an egg.

After a while, the middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly spoke:

"time up!"

Lu Jiakang and Na Guguanlin both stopped refining, and they raised their hands and threw the two pieces of materials towards the high platform.

The middle-aged Confucian casually grabbed two things in his hand.

After a little investigation, he handed the materials to the old man surnamed Peng and others.

Then, the middle-aged Confucian scholar said:

“Both sides use the Jiuluo Refining Method. In terms of refining quality, Jiuhua Sect’s Lu Jiakang is slightly better. In this competition, Jiuhua Sect wins!”

"oh!!"

As the middle-aged Confucian scholar surnamed Chen finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted from the scene.

The Jiuhua Sect disciples all had smiles on their faces.

They have discovered that the people of Da Luo Zong are coming fiercely, but they are not invincible.

Although Chu Ning and Yuan Rongzhang did not shout and cheer, their faces were a little more joyful.

Chun Ning's eyes were a little more thoughtful at this moment.

“When Senior Brother Lu was refining weapons just now, he had skills except for the fire control and tempering.

The forging technique also has a mysterious aspect, and it should be combined with the use of some kind of magic power.

There are also certain rules in terms of rhythm and intensity. "

Chun Ning secretly recalled Lu Jiakang's technique when he was refining the weapon just now.

“Write down all these first, and compare them later when you see the refining method. Maybe you will gain more insights.”

Chun Ning was thinking on one side and paying attention to the situation in the dojo on the other.

After finishing the alchemy and weapon refining competitions.

Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin separated from the high platform and flew into the middle of the fighting field, which was about a hundred feet in size.

This site is surrounded by restricted fluctuations. It is a site that Jiuhua Sect has arranged long ago.

Of course, to be on the safe side, several witnesses, Ao Langtian and others made some inspections.

At this moment, when Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin entered, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Different from the previous two games.

This competition not only involves direct confrontation between the two sides, but also involves great dangers. It is also related to which sect can take the lead in the first round of competition.

“According to the rules set by the principals of both parties, the fighting method is not limited to means, and there are no other restrictions except that no one is killed.

If one side feels outmatched, it can admit defeat in advance. "

After saying this very simply, the white-haired old man named Peng sat down.

These words made the disciples on both sides look solemn.

This is actually not very different from a life and death battle.

In the middle of the field, Gu Guanlin, who was short at the moment, suddenly raised his hand as soon as he finished speaking.

Then, a fierce magic fire knife attacked Lu Jiakang.

At the same time, he also had a long black knife in his hand.

The long sword was flashing with flames, it was obviously not an ordinary thing.

Lu Jiakang was holding a giant hammer in his hand at this moment, and he struck it down quickly.

The same fire light flew out and hit the fiery red sword light in the air. At the same time, Lu Jiakang also exuded an earthy yellow mana shield.

Obviously, this late-stage foundation-building monk from Jiuhua Sect has not relaxed his defensive vigilance.

At the same time that his shield lit up, the ancient crown forest opposite raised his hand again, and several talismans were fully activated.

Looking at the power of the talismans, they are all intermediate and high-grade talismans, and there are even high-level talismans mixed in.

However, Lu Jiakang was also prepared and blocked them all one by one.

At the same time, several attacks were launched.

The two of them were obviously well prepared for this fight and used all kinds of methods.

But everyone also knows that the real decision will be made after both sides have exhausted their means.

Gradually, both sides no longer had such things as talismans in their hands, but began to attack continuously with their magic weapons.

Obviously, even if they were extremely well prepared, they would be almost exhausted by the continuous fierce fighting.

At this time, Gu Guanlin suddenly took out another talisman and activated it.

While his whole body was covered, the long knife in his hand had also disappeared, and instead there was a short knife.

“Magic weapon!”

Chun Ning, who was watching the battle from a distance, muttered to himself when he saw this scene.

I know that this person is obviously using his trump card.

Lu Jiakang in the scene obviously knew this, and his face became serious at the same time.

He waved his hand casually, and a shield appeared in his hand, and at the same time, a silver dart appeared in his hand.

“It’s also a magic weapon, and there are two of them!”

Chun Ning was slightly surprised when he saw the shield and silver dart in Lu Jiakang's hand.

It is not easy to use magic weapons with the cultivation level in the foundation building stage, and the required mana consumption is huge.

This is especially true when using two magic weapons at the same time.

After all, not everyone has Chu Ning’s level of magical power, and can use magic weapons with their early foundation-building skills.

Furthermore, not everyone’s magic weapon is like a double fire ring. The mother ring absorbs not very strong mana and can gather and drive the fire attribute aura to let the child rings launch powerful attacks.

Lu Jiakang has been fighting fiercely for a long time. After using the magic weapon at this moment, he obviously feels that a lot of his magic power has been consumed.

The next moment, Lu Jiakang and Na Gu Guanlin were seen waving their hands at the same time.

Silver darts and daggers flew out and shot toward each other.

Two rays of light, one silver and one red, collided fiercely in the air!

The next moment, he suddenly swerved away and then jumped out.

The red dagger flew in front of Lu Jiakang and hit the shield formed by the shield in front of him hard.

The shield broke, but it was blocked by the shield inside!

The silver dart on the other side also hit the talisman shield in front of Gu Guanlin, hitting him hard.

Hitting Gu Guanlin’s body so hard that he fell backwards!

What surprised everyone was that the ancient crown forest seemed to be uninjured.

“This man is wearing an armor!”

Soon, everyone discovered the reason.

Under the influence of the magic power of this silver dart, Ancient Crown Forest's robe was shattered.

Revealing a piece of metal armor on his body.

This armor is obviously not ordinary. It was not damaged at all by the silver dart.

At this moment, a sneer flashed across the face of Gu Guanlin, who was recovering from his illness.

He raised his hands suddenly, and saw a short awl appear in his hand.

The next moment, several rays of lightning were emitted from it and bombarded towards the ancient crown forest.

“Thunder spells, this person actually has a strange spiritual root like the Thunder Spirit Root!”

Seeing Gu Guanlin's attack, everyone in the Jiuhua Sect changed their expressions.

Lu Jiakang's face also changed slightly. At this moment, he no longer had the mana to support him in continuing to use the shield magic weapon in his hand.

But the lightning struck from all directions, and even if he wanted to block it directly with his shield, he couldn't.

Only ordinary magic weapons can be used to condense the shield.

However, this kind of mana shield cannot be sustained at all under the thunder attribute attack of Ancient Crown Forest.

When the mana shield outside Lu Jiakang was broken for the third time, a lightning spell hit him hard.

“Poof!”

Lu Jiakang shuddered, and then a stream of blood spurted out.

His face turned pale.

Obviously this blow had seriously injured him.

Lu Jiakang still refused to admit defeat at this moment. He raised the magic weapon in his hand and was about to attack again.

“Jiuhua Sect admits defeat in this game!”

At this moment, Yu Changge stood up and said in a deep voice.

The next moment, his figure flashed and entered the mana restriction.

But at this moment, another lightning technique from the ancient crown forest had hit Lu Jiakang.

Yu Changge waved his hand, and the thunder technique suddenly disappeared in the air.

And his eyes also glanced at the ancient crown forest coldly.

The latter's face showed a look of sarcasm.

“I didn’t stop for a moment.”

Yu Changge said nothing more and took Lu Jiakang out of the restriction.

In the dojo, there was not much noise at the moment.

Lu Jiakang is the most advanced among the three people of Jiuhua Sect, and he carries two magic weapons, but he still failed in the battle of magic.

This was undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the disciples of Jiuhua Sect, and it also made everyone a little silent.

That Gu Guanlin is not the one with the highest cultivation level among the three members of the Da Luo Sect.

The one with the highest level of cultivation among the three is Ao Xuan!

Now Lu Jiakang, who has the highest level among the Sanjiu Hua Sect, has failed against Gu Guanlin, who is not the highest in the Daluo Sect.

Jiuhua Sect only won one of the three games in the first round, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on Jiuhua Sect’s victory today.

Yu Changge took Lu Jiakang back to Gaotai.

“Two junior brothers, you are stupid and incompetent, holding you back.”

Lu Jiakang smiled bitterly at Chu and Ning, his tone full of guilt.

Chun Ning and Yuan Rongzhang wanted to step forward to comfort him.

At this time, the old man named Peng had already stepped forward:

“Sect Leader Yu, according to the rules, we need to isolate this nephew. After all, he has just seen the Nine Luo Refining Method.”

Yu Changge nodded, took out a pill and handed it to Lu Jiakang, and then returned to his seat.

The white-haired old man named Peng called Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to one side.

Several witnesses took action at the same time, imposing an isolation ban on the two of them.

In this way, although Lu Jiakang and the two could still hear the outside world, they were unable to communicate with the outside world.

“Let’s start the second round of competition!”

As the old man surnamed Peng said these words, Yuan Rongzhang, who was originally standing next to Chu Ning, took a step forward.

On the other side, Leng Daichun of Daluo Sect also stood up.

“The remaining two are both intermediate and high-grade elixir recipes. Please ask Fellow Daoist Jia to take one of them.”

At this time, the old man surnamed Peng took out two more elixir recipes for the female golden elixir cultivator to draw.

Then he handed over the elixir prescription to two jade slips and handed them over to Yu Changge and Ao Langtian after they saw that there were no problems.

Then it was handed over to Yuan Rongzhang and Leng Daichun.

The two men immediately took the elixir recipe and elixir and flew up into the alchemy platform above the dojo.

Chun Ning was sitting on the high platform at the moment, looking at the expressions of the two people on the alchemy table.

When I saw that the expressions of the two of them were extremely calm and there was no big fluctuation, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

“It seems that these two people should be able to refine high-grade middle-grade elixirs.”

Thinking of this, Chu Ning's brows raised slightly.

Out of the three competitions in this round, Yuan Rongzhang is most likely to win the alchemy competition.

After all, I have never heard of Yuan Rongzhang having much contact with weapon refining before.

Since Daluo Sect dares to propose this kind of competition method, it is estimated that these three people have dabbled in alchemy and weapon refining.

It's just a matter of level of attainment.

So Yuan Rongzhang has a very small chance of winning.

In terms of fighting, after all, Yuan Rongzhang was only in the middle stage of foundation building, while Leng Daichun was in the late stage of foundation building.

If you want to win, it will be more difficult.

Fortunately, in the past few years, Chu Ning has become somewhat familiar with Yuan Rongjian's alchemy skills and knows that Yuan Rongjian has made great progress.

 I am new to refining an intermediate high-grade elixir. Under normal circumstances, I should be certain that the elixir will be 40 to 50% complete.

This still has a certain chance of winning. After all, not everyone has the alchemy skills like Chu Ning.

While Chu Ning was thinking like this, the old man named Peng had already announced that the game had officially begun.

Chun Ning watched from the high platform as the two of them used magic techniques to control fire and prepare to extract the elixir.

The next moment, his expression became more serious.
