Two days passed in a flash.
This day is the fourth round of the alchemy competition, and it is also the semi-finals. This is the only one left before the finals.
Tens of thousands of alchemists participated in the competition, but only thirty people succeeded in reaching the semi-finals. This shows how cruel the previous rounds were.
To create your own recipe, you need a quiet place that can protect you from wind and rain, and your thoughts cannot be interrupted by external factors.
So the venue for this round of competition will be in a huge palace. The palace space is limited, and the people who can come to watch the competition are the most distinguished and prestigious people from all over the world.
A large number of ordinary Gu cultivators obviously cannot come here to watch the competition and can only wait for the finals.
On this day, Long Xuan got up early and washed up. After walking out of the inn, he walked into the depths of the palace under the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, and finally walked into a main hall under the leadership of Long Xiaoyao.
Even though Long Xuan woke up very early in the morning, he was still the last one to arrive.
The remaining twenty-nine contestants had already arrived and were sitting in the center of the hall.
There are a total of thirty tables and thirty seats in the center of the hall. Thirty seats are divided into six rows and five columns. The names of the contestants are marked on the table. All contestants are seated according to their total score.
Long Xuan currently has 292 points, ranking first in total points. He is sitting in the upper left corner, with Duan Tianwu and Fentian Patriarchs on the right.
Long Xuan glanced sideways at the neighbor on his right, then sat quietly in his seat with his eyes closed, waiting for the start of the fourth round.
In the judges' seats in front, all the judges were whispering. Long Xiaoyao, who was sitting in the front row, glanced sideways at Feng Tiancheng beside him and said with a smile: "Brother Tiancheng, how about we bet again? We have already bet in the previous few rounds. , this game would be unsatisfactory if we didn’t gamble.”
Feng Tiancheng glanced at him with a dark face, turned away and remained silent. This time he meant that he couldn't gamble anymore, and he would be stupid if he gambled again.
That Long Xuan is very evil, and he has no confidence that the fourth-grade alchemist can defeat him at this time.
He ignored Long Xiaoyao's provocation, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Now that all the contestants have arrived, let the fourth round of competition officially begin, give me tea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five beautiful women in palace robes came up with tea, walked to the front row of the five rows, and filled tea for each contestant one by one.
Smelling the fragrance released by the tea, all the contestants felt refreshed, and some even shivered all over, showing signs of intoxication.
The Enlightenment tea tree is a tea tree that surpasses the twelve grades and is the only tea tree in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the tea drank by gods.
Just the aroma of the tea is enough to make people salivate, and the taste is so incredible that everyone’s throats twitch, showing signs of impatient anticipation.
Long Xuan also looked at the fragrant cup of tea in front of him curiously, showing great interest.
“Is this the enlightenment tea that can make people enlighten? Is it really extraordinary? I don’t know how it tastes?”
Thinking that there was already a branch of the Enlightenment tea tree on his wooden island, and it had been successfully planted by the medicinal poison. In the future, he could drink as much Enlightenment tea as he wanted. He smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to drink this cup of tea. .
After the three beautiful palace maids poured a cup of tea on each contestant's table, Feng Tiancheng looked around, and finally focused on Long Xuan's face for a moment, and finally said:
“I won’t say much about the scene. All contestants will now start to drink tea and gain enlightenment.”
Feng Tiancheng seemed to be in a bad mood. After just saying this, he sat back down and said nothing.
After Feng Tiancheng finished speaking, all the contestants raised their teacups together and drank them all in one gulp.
No one tasted the tea carefully. They drank the tea directly into their stomachs like a cow drinking. What's more, they didn't even realize what the tea tasted like.
All the contestants put their tea cups down together, closed their eyes and began to feel the power of Enlightenment Tea. All the judges watched quietly without disturbing each other. They were all looking forward to what each contestant would realize next.
Especially Long Xuan, Ancestor Fen Tian, and Qin Dan, attracted the attention of most of the judges.
Long Xiaoyao looked at Long Xuan with nervous eyes, and the fists under his sleeves were unconsciously tightened by three points at this moment.
At this time, Long Xuan drank the Enlightenment Tea in one gulp. He had no time to taste the taste of the Enlightenment Tea, so he closed his eyes to refine the power of the Enlightenment Tea.
He had the same mentality as most people. He was afraid that slowly sipping the tea would lead to intermittent effects of the medicine, so he simply drank it. It would not be too late to wait for the Wu Dao tea tree on Mu Island to grow again, and then slowly taste the Tao tea.
After he closed his eyes, he ran directly into the Soul Bookstore to cheat. He had the Soul Bookstore, Golden Finger, and Enlightenment Tea. With the combination of the three, enlightenment was much faster than drinking the Enlightenment Tea alone.
Compared with other contestants, he enjoys a unique advantage. As Long Xiaoyao said, the rules of this level are beneficial to him. He really doesn't believe that with such an advantage, the recipe he created can be inferior to Fentian. The ancestor and Duan Tian are two people.
He was not made to wait long. Not long after he closed his eyes, he felt that he was much smarter and his thinking was much faster. All kinds of insights suddenly emerged uncontrollably, and all kinds of strange and wonderful thoughts instantly filled his mind. It made his head swell, and he didn't know what to choose for a while.
In the end, Long Xuan decided to focus on self-interest. No matter how imaginative he was, if the recipe he created was not helpful to him, it would be a waste of time.
After narrowing the scope in this way, there were suddenly fewer thoughts in his mind, which also made his brain feel much more relaxed.
What kind of elixir is both heaven-defying and helpful to himself? Long Xuan finally chose the bone-melting and blood-melting elixir that appeared in the novel of his previous life.
This is a heaven-defying elixir that can reshape the soul body into the physical body.
He added a little bit of his own imagination. The appearance, attributes, and qualifications of the physical body can be freely chosen, and they cannot be changed after they are finalized.
As long as you think about it, you can have even the most unnatural qualifications in this world, and it will not be repelled by any soul.
Of course, this elixir is too heaven-defying. A fourth-grade elixir will definitely not be able to have such medicinal power. Such an imaginative elixir must be a twelfth-grade elixir.
He can only use the old method, using a large amount of garbage materials to dilute the twelfth-grade elixir into a fourth-grade elixir. The fourth-grade bone-melting and blood-melting elixir is definitely not so outrageous.
The reason why he wanted to think about this elixir was naturally for the heavenly water in the thunder marsh.
He had been thinking about how to obtain the Tianshui from Old Shui. Should he risk killing Shui ruthlessly for him, or should he find a body that perfectly suited him.
He had not made up his mind for a long time, but now he finally had an idea. If he could use the Enlightenment Tea to research the Bone-Blending Blood Pill, then he would not have to worry about it at all.
Using a bone-melting blood pill, Shui Lao can completely reshape his physical body, and he can also replace the heavenly water in Shui Lao's hands.
Long Xuan's lips curved into a smile. The Bone-Melting Blood Pill was useful to him, but it was also very unnatural, and might even cause a thunder disaster. He decided to study the Bone-Melting Blood Pill. He didn't believe in such a heaven-defying thing. The elixir is still unable to win the first place in this round of competition.
Beside him at this time, Duan Tianwu was sitting on his seat with his eyes closed, frowning deeply.
Like Long Xuan, he had too much imagination and too many fantastic ideas. After drinking the Enlightenment Tea, he had so many insights that he didn't know how to choose for a while.
In the end, he tacitly agreed with Long Xuan and chose to focus on self-interest. Since he created his own elixir, he should create his own one that is useful to him.
Otherwise, even if the elixir recipe is against the sky, as long as it is of no use to you, it is just useless paper. What is the use of creating it?
After Duan Tian eliminated more than half of the thoughts in his mind, he felt much more relaxed now that there were fewer options. (End of chapter)
