Chapter 1053: Failed attempt

When Qin Shu heard what she said, she touched her chin and nodded.

It doesn't matter if you go and have a look. Cultivation is about adhering to one's own way, but integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.

She has only seen her senior brothers and sisters refining elixirs, but as for others... she has never seen them.

"I heard people say that there are people making alchemy here every day for the sake of winnings, and they are all powerful seniors. We have been here so long, so we can learn a lot." He Xin said with a smile on his face.

Qin Shu thought for a moment and then asked: "To be honest, this place is really a holy place for alchemists. By the way, is there a place where alchemists can compete with each other on their skills?"

In fact, she could have found out by asking in the message square, but obviously it was more convenient to ask He Xin at this time.

He Xin looked like you're asking the right person, "Of course there is. According to what I heard, there are three places where alchemists compete. They are at Ziwei Waterside Pavilion, Liu'an Corridor and Drum Tower Street."

When she said this, Chi Yu and Qin Shu both looked at her, with expressions of willingness to hear the details.

He Xin continued: "Ziwei Water Pavilion is of the highest standard. Alchemists who have reached at least the seventh level can go there to discuss, but there are relatively few alchemists above the seventh level. Most of the time, the furnace is not open there. .

"Liu'an Corridor is on the fourth to sixth floors, and under Gulou Street is on the first to third floors. These two places are much more lively. We can go and have a look tomorrow during the day."

Qin Shu became somewhat interested when she heard what she said.

"Okay, get up early tomorrow and let's go get a good seat." The three of them hit it off immediately.

Before I took two sips of the tea in my hand, the stairs soon became lively again.

Qin Shu's consciousness swept away and it turned out that the senior was about to start refining the elixir.

"Oops, that senior is on the fifth floor today! Then we can't see him?" He Xin said while holding the jade slip in one hand and checking it.

Qin Shu also frowned. She really wanted to see the process of this senior refining the Yuan-Zeng Dan.

She could see it with her own eyes and take part in the competition at the City Lord's Mansion next month, which would give her a little more confidence.

At this moment, He Xin spoke again, "Don't worry, there seems to be a projection."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked behind her.

Sure enough, a projection appeared in the center of the third floor.

At this time, there was only a table appearing in the center of the projection, with three medicinal materials placed on it.

Qin Shu was stunned, "Could it be that they would also provide medicinal materials for the central teahouse to make elixirs?"

He Xin nodded, "Well, not only will they provide medicinal materials, but if there is no alchemy furnace, they will also provide it."

Qin Shu suddenly realized, but then she had new doubts, "Then if someone doesn't have this ability, but wants to use this opportunity to practice, wouldn't it be a waste of spiritual growth?"

Especially for high-level elixirs like this, the spiritual plants required are also valuable, so there is no guarantee that someone will not have their own ideas.

He Xin shook his head, "Not really. Everyone can tell what level he is as soon as he makes a move. For example, what he is refining this time is a seventh-level Yuan-increasing pill. Even if he may not be able to refine it, he can He must be at least a seventh-grade alchemist."

Qin Shu understood, "That's it."

While they were talking, an old man with gray hair walked into the projection.

He Xin immediately excitedly sent a message to Qin Shu and Chi Yu: "This is it. I just saw it in the communication square. This senior is today's protagonist."

The level of projection should also be relatively high, and the character should be restored to a one-to-one ratio. His every move, including his hair, can be clearly seen.

He flipped his wrist, and an alchemy furnace appeared in the screen. Then it gradually grew in size and was placed in the center of the alchemy table.

His flame circled around the alchemy furnace, letting the furnace preheat first, and then he put the spiritual plants into it one by one to temper it.

Looking at his actions, Qin Shu frowned slightly.

Why does it seem that the timing of adding Cyanobacteria is a little early?

Crimson grass is the catalyst for fusion. It doesn't matter if it's too early or too late. If it's added too early, it will be consumed by the flames too much. If it's added too late, it will miss the best opportunity for the fusion of spiritual plants.

Qin Shu couldn't help but click her tongue twice. It wasn't that she deliberately badmouthed him, but it was really unlikely that he would become a pill this time.

Qin Shu turned around, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and there was an explosion behind her.

He Xin beside him suddenly took a breath of air, "Hiss—the furnace actually exploded!"

Qin Shu looked back and saw that the senior calmly used a cleaning technique to clean up the residue in the alchemy furnace.

He started refining the second furnace again. In the second furnace, it was obvious that the movements in his hands were more cautious than before, but this time the incorporation of the Crimson Pearl Grass was a little late...

Qin Shu sighed, this senior's work must have been in vain this time.

Soon, the sound of the furnace explosion gave her the answer.

He Xin frowned, "Isn't this Yuan-Zeng Dan too difficult to refine? This senior is very skilled in both fire control and tempering techniques. Why can't he succeed in refining it twice in a row?"

Akabane on the side folded his arms, and the old god was there, "Isn't this normal? Who can guarantee that one will succeed in one furnace? What's more, it is such a high-quality elixir. If you can refine ten copies into one, it is good."

When He Xin thought about it, she nodded and sighed, "Senior sister is right, I just feel that these spiritual plants are a pity."

While they were talking, the senior had already started to refine the elixir for the third time. This time, he was obviously more nervous than the previous times.

He successfully passed the quenching process, and the timing of adding the crimson pearl grass was just right, but something went wrong during the fusion.

Finally, six black waste pills were produced, and everyone was silent.

The senior alchemist also sighed, shook his head, stood up and cleaned up the mess around him, then put away his alchemy furnace and said to everyone: "It seems that I can't get the prize today."

After saying that, he stepped down from the stage.

All the people present were alchemists, and they also knew that it was not easy to make a seventh-grade Zengyuan Pill, but they still felt sorry for him.

Since the senior failed to refine the elixir, no one could get the prize, and everyone present had the opportunity to try.

The dancers in the central teahouse came out to dance again with signs, but after a quarter of an hour, no one stood up again.

Everyone knew that a general seventh-grade alchemist could not make Zengyuan Pills, and it had to be as close to the eighth grade as possible.

There were only a few such people in the entire cultivation world, Ling Xu Zhenren of Xuantian Sect Danzong was one, and Wei Rong Zhenren of Taohua Valley was also one...

For seniors with such abilities, they naturally looked down on this little prize, so why would they come to a small city like Linxian City.
