Chapter 77: Alchemy Competition Begins
There is still one month left for the Quasi-Alchemist Competition, so take this opportunity to improve your level of purifying spiritual herbs!
Qin Guan exchanged all the sect points he got from their tokens after killing Ren Fei and Ren Zheng into first-level spiritual grass.
Each first-level spiritual grass was thrown into the alchemy furnace by Qin Guan. As Qin Guan became more and more proficient in his movements and skills, the purity of the purification also continued to increase.
Five days later, Qin Guan was able to increase the purity of the first-level spiritual grass from 80% to 85%!
Ten days later, the purified purity increased to 90%!
Twenty days later, the purified purity reached 95%!
Twenty-nine days later, the purified purity reached 97%!
The higher the purity of the purification, the difficulty will increase exponentially and the longer it will take. Achieving such results in one month is already Qin Guan's limit.
On the 30th day, Qin Guan washed himself up and walked with Yun'er towards the main hall of the sect. The venue for the quasi-alchemist competition was in the huge marble square in front of the main hall.
At this moment, the huge marble square was already crowded with people, densely packed with black heads, at least tens of thousands of people.
The Quasi-Alchemist Competition is an annual competition held by Fengyun Sect, and many disciples come here to watch the competition.
"Junior Brother Qin Guan, here!"
As soon as Qin Guan arrived at the square, he heard someone calling him. Following the call, he saw Qiu Yubai waving to him in the square.
"Let's go, the competition is about to start, let's go to the competition venue first."
"good."
Qin Guan followed Qiu Yubai to the center of the square, where alchemy furnaces were neatly arranged. Many would-be alchemists were entering the venue one after another, looking for their own positions. Standing behind the alchemy furnace, it was estimated by visual inspection that there were about two hundred people participating. This competition.
Because Qiu Yubai signed up last, he and Qin Guan were placed in the corner, which was extremely inconspicuous.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Suddenly, a powerful and deep voice came out, and a fat old man stepped out of the crowd and stood on the high platform in the center of the square.
"It's Elder Du!"
The square fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the fat old man with burning eyes.
"I believe you have been looking forward to this competition for a long time, right? Many of you should already know that this competition is different from previous years. It requires the cooperation of two quasi-alchemists, and the difficulty is much higher than before! Of course, our rewards are also extremely generous , the first place will receive three hundred spiritual stones and a third-grade spiritual elixir, 'Zhi Qing Dan'!"
Elder Du looked around and said loudly.
"Wow!"
The whole square suddenly exclaimed!
Spirit stones are high-level cultivation resources that only true disciples are eligible to redeem. You can get three hundred of them at one time!
The Ultimate Qing Dan can help a warrior 100% break through to the peak of the ninth level and become a warrior. It is priceless!
The reward for first place this time is many times more generous than in previous competitions!
Many would-be alchemists who were standing next to the alchemy furnace participating in the competition had fiery eyes and slowly clenched their fists. The same thought flashed through everyone's mind: they must try their best to get first place!
Elder Du nodded with great satisfaction at the reactions of the disciples. After pressing down his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, he said loudly:
"Without further ado, I announce that this year's quasi-alchemist competition will now officially begin!"
"This competition is divided into two rounds. The sum of the results of the two rounds is the final result! Now the test questions for the first round of the competition are announced: In the first round, one person from each combination will be randomly selected to compete with the first-level spiritual grass and green snake fruit. Purification will be carried out, and the top fifty combinations will advance to the second round!”
As soon as Elder Du finished speaking, he immediately caused an uproar in the crowd!
The green snake fruit is the most difficult to purify among the first-level spiritual herbs. The candidate for purification is not to select the best one in the combination, but to randomly select one person. If you are unlucky and choose the weaker one among the two quasi-alchemists, And it is too unfair for others to choose the stronger one!
"Haha. I know what everyone is thinking. Many people will question the fairness of the first round, but I think you won't think so after the second round of exam questions comes out!"
Elder Du waved his arm, and immediately a staff member came to each group of prospective alchemists with the lottery and asked them to draw. Those who draw the lottery will participate in the first round of the competition.
Those who are strong in the combination will look happy when they win, while those who are weak in the combination will look bitter when they win.
The sounds of joy and sighs continued to reach Qin Guan's ears, and finally the staff walked up to Qin Guan and Qiu Yubai.
Although it is difficult to purify the green snake fruit, Qin Guan is still confident that he can purify it to more than 90% if he takes part!
"Junior Brother Qin Guan, you must not win the lottery. If you do, we will be doomed. I'm afraid we won't even be able to pass the first round!"
Qiu Yubai prayed repeatedly. It was not that he despised Qin Guan, but that Qin Guan had become a quasi-alchemist for too short a time. Under normal circumstances, his purification ability was definitely not high. Once Qin Guan came on stage, Qiu Yubai estimated that they might not be able to pass the first round!
"Haha, I won the lottery! What a blessing! I'm the one to play in the first round!"
Seeing the words on his pick, Qiu Yubai looked excited. He played on his own. There must be no problem in this first round!
"Senior Brother Qiu, I wonder how far you are sure you can purify the Green Snake Fruit?"
Qin Guan's eyes fell on Qiu Yubai. If his purification level was similar to his, it didn't matter who played.
"Don't worry, I once purified the Green Snake Fruit to 80%! If you perform stably today, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Patting his chest, Qiu Yubai said confidently.
"Well"
Qin Guan's head is full of black lines. It seems that Qiu Yubai's purification level is far inferior to his own. Is this called too much luck?
"The first round of competition begins!"
After confirming the candidates for the first round of competition, Elder Du gave an order, and flames suddenly ignited under the alchemy furnace. The selected prospective alchemists all had solemn faces, and put the green snake fruit into the alchemy furnace, concentrating on purifying it.
After a cup of tea, bursts of medicinal fragrance came from the alchemy furnace. Already, a would-be alchemist melted the green snake fruit and began to purify it.
The tens of thousands of disciples in the stands concentrated and held their breath, staring closely at the more than a hundred quasi-alchemists who were purifying in the center of the square.
"Bang!"
Suddenly there was an explosion, an alchemy furnace exploded, and a burning smell came out. The would-be alchemist who was blown away looked annoyed.
"No. 73, furnace exploded, purification failed, eliminated!"
The referee's voice then sounded.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Several people around Alchemist No. 73 were disturbed, and the flames went out of control, making the sound of a furnace exploding one after another. The furnace was also exploding!
"No. 70, blast the furnace and eliminate!"
"No. 75, blast the furnace, eliminate!"
"."
Like a chain reaction, several more sounds of furnace explosions were heard, and one exploded directly next to Qin Guan and Qiu Yubai. Qiu Yubai couldn't help but twitch his fingers, and the flames under the alchemy furnace suddenly rose up!
Qin Guan was shocked, his heart was in his throat. If Qiu Yubai exploded, he would be eliminated directly. He would not even have a chance to appear!
