Chapter 657 Alchemy Competition

"Hua Xu Dan!"

The alchemist who asked Li Qianqing a question couldn't help but exclaimed.

The three people, including Wu Tianyou, focused their eyes on Li Qianqing.

As soon as they heard Hua Xu Dan, they knew that Li Qianqing was going to refine a low-grade Hua Xu Dan. As for the middle-grade Hua Xu Dan, this was impossible.

In the sixth-grade middle-grade pill refining competition, there were very few alchemists who refined it, and Li Qianqing was only in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit, not the peak of the transformation of the spirit.

"Are you sure?" Wu Tianyou asked.

He didn't expect Li Qianqing to refine a sixth-grade low-grade pill, and always thought that Li Qianqing would refine a fifth-grade high-grade pill with higher difficulty.

"Somewhat sure."

Li Qianqing didn't say everything, leaving himself a little room, which was normal in the eyes of others.

Like Li Qianqing, Wu Tianyou also refined a sixth-grade low-grade pill, and the other three refined a fifth-grade high-grade pill, with different levels of difficulty.

In order to achieve results in the alchemy competition, there must be pills.

If you refine a pill that is too difficult, and the pill is useless when you finish refining it, you will get no points and rank last.

Among the thousands of participating alchemists, there are many who get no points every time.

Their idea is to take a gamble, and if you refine it, you will make a lot of money and get a good ranking. If you fail to refine it, you will be embarrassed.

Most alchemists don't want to lose face, they care about their face.

The die is cast.

Li Qianqing wants to refine the Huaxu Pill. After the four people understood it, they didn't say too much on this issue.

At the end of the assessment, if you submit the pill to the alchemy competition, you can't change it. Now the Alchemy Palace must have prepared their spiritual medicine.

For Li Qianqing, although the other three don't know as much as Wu Tianyou, they are also very pessimistic about Li Qianqing.

Wanting to refine a sixth-level low-grade pill in the middle stage of Huashen, even with their talents, it is very difficult.

You know, being chosen by Wu Tianyou means that they are talented. Even if they cannot break through to the Void Refining Stage in the future, they will definitely become sixth-level alchemists.

There are more and more alchemists in the hall.

When the door on the west side of the hall was closed, everyone knew that the assessment had ended.

At this moment, the hall has begun to spread the news of alchemists who did not pass the assessment.

When alchemists in the same industry encounter such a situation, it is difficult to control their mouths and they can't help but say a few words.

Even the assessment can fail. It is simply unbearable to travel with such an alchemist.

There are three alchemists who scored below 90 points in this alchemy competition. There are almost two or three alchemists who fail the assessment every time the alchemy competition.

When the news of the assessment spread throughout the hall, the door on the east side of the hall opened.

"The alchemy competition is about to begin. Everyone, go to the designated location according to the number you received..."

As the door on the east side opened, the voice of the elder of the main hall came into their ears.

To become an elder of the main hall of the Alchemy Hall, at least you must be a senior seventh-level alchemist.

Before becoming an elder of the main hall, one usually has experience as the master of a branch hall, which is the main way to be promoted in the Alchemy Hall.

"Let's go." Wu Tianyou glanced at the four people and said.

Walking out of the east gate, a huge venue came into view.

The venue was evenly divided into 3,000 areas, each with its own number. Alchemists went to the corresponding area according to the number.

The spiritual medicine they needed had been prepared in the area.

At this moment, the surroundings of the venue were full of cultivators, and the front was full of alchemists, mainly third- and fourth-level alchemists.

"Here, here, the alchemy competition is finally about to begin!"

"It's finally started, the waiting time is too slow."

"My seat is good, so close to Master Zhong, who was the first in the last competition!"

Due to the no-fly zone of the alchemy competition, the cultivators who came to watch the competition could not move extra after their seats were determined.

Among the nearly 2,000 alchemists on the field, there were quite a few famous ones, especially the top ten alchemists in the last alchemy competition.

Li Qianqing came to the 675th area where he was, and the first thing he did was to check the situation in the storage bag in front of him.

After confirming that there was no mistake in the spiritual medicine inside, he put down the storage bag.

"The alchemy competition is about to begin. Let me tell you about the competition rules..."

After all the alchemists reached their designated areas, the voice of the elder of the main hall spread throughout the venue.

The competition rules include violations and factors that affect the final score.

Alchemy pills, success rate, own realm, age, use of alchemy furnace, etc. are all factors that affect the score. In addition, if you have participated in the alchemy competition before, there is also an improvement coefficient score.

If the improvement coefficient score is too low, the score you can get will definitely not be high.

Because the improvement coefficient is a separate item, the score multiplied by the improvement coefficient is the final score. If you have not participated in the alchemy competition before, you can default to the improvement coefficient of one.

The lowest improvement coefficient score is zero and the highest is two.

If the pills refined last time are the same as this time, and the success rate is still the same, the improvement coefficient score is basically zero, so the final score is also zero.

Zero points is not the last one. Being unable to refine the elixir and having no points is the real last one.

Because the progress coefficient score is based on the previous results, the more talented the alchemist is, the more difficult it is to obtain the score. If you can get a score of one, you have already surpassed the progress coefficient score of most alchemists.

After the elder of the main hall said everything he should say, he announced:

"The alchemy competition has officially begun!"

When the competition began, Li Qianqing took out his alchemy furnace.

This is a top-level third-grade upper-grade magic weapon-level alchemy furnace.

The fourth-grade magic weapon and the third-grade magic weapon are the watershed of the weapon refiner. The weapon refiner who can refine the fourth-grade magic weapon must be a cultivator at the peak of the spirit transformation or above, and his mastery of the power of heaven and earth must reach 100%.

Because one of the basic conditions for refining a fourth-grade magic weapon is to have a 100% mastery of the power of heaven and earth, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to refine a fourth-grade magic weapon.

This also makes the fourth-grade magic weapon much more difficult to obtain than the third-grade magic weapon.

If Li Qianqing continues to be the patriarch of his family, he cannot guarantee whether he can obtain a fourth-grade magic weapon-level alchemy furnace in the next five hundred years.

If you join the Dan Palace, the difficulty of obtaining a fourth-level magic weapon-level alchemy furnace will drop sharply. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange it in the Dan Palace.

It is worth mentioning that if you have not officially joined the Dan Palace, such as the honorary deacon of the branch palace, the honorary elder, etc., even if you have enough contribution points, you cannot exchange for a fourth-level magic weapon.

This is like Li Yongfeng is the deputy city lord of Liuyun City, but he cannot exchange many things in the Divine Palace, so he is only considered half a Divine Palace cultivator.

Most of the alchemists here are half Dan Palace cultivators.

After placing the corresponding spiritual medicine, Li Qianqing began to refine the lower-grade Huaxu Pill.

Using a third-level upper-grade alchemy furnace to refine a sixth-level lower-grade pill, the refining difficulty coefficient becomes higher, and there is a certain bonus to the final score.

Of course, compared to this score bonus, it is not as good as using a fourth-level lower-grade alchemy furnace to refine a sixth-level lower-grade pill.

Refining one more pill will increase the success rate, and the bonus here will be more.

Except for a few alchemists who were preparing something, most of them started to make pills. Li Qianqing followed the crowd.

There were many cultivators outside the venue. Compared with the quiet alchemy environment, the environment here was undoubtedly worse.

This was also a test for the alchemists in the alchemy competition.

Not only the cultivators outside the venue, but also the alchemy of the alchemists next to them would affect some alchemists. These factors were basically not a problem for the alchemists participating in the alchemy competition.

Unless someone deliberately interfered with one of the alchemists, such a thing really happened before, and then it was taken down by the elders of the main hall at the speed of light.

"Nearly two thousand people are making pills, which is really spectacular."

"Let me see how many alchemists are making sixth-grade pills."

"Hey, is that senior in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit making a sixth-grade low-grade pill?"

A correct version at 1619, 1 book, 1 forum!

"It seems so. This senior looks young. He may have lived for five or six thousand years."

When alchemy began, people liked to pay attention to alchemists who made sixth-grade pills, and among alchemists who made sixth-grade pills, people tended to pay attention to those with lower realms.

So, Li Qianqing, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization, was soon noticed.

Those who dared to make sixth-grade pills were basically alchemists in the late stage of the Spiritualization. There were very few in the middle stage of the Spiritualization. At present, there were no alchemists who made sixth-grade pills in the early stage of the Spiritualization.

It is said that the current head of the Alchemy Hall had made sixth-grade low-grade pills in the early stage of the Spiritualization. This was more than 100,000 years ago. People are willing to believe that this is true. After all, the head of the head hall is a ninth-grade alchemist.

Watching the alchemy competition is not comparable to watching a battle.

Those who can watch the alchemy competition are not alchemists but are very interested in alchemy. Otherwise, they would not spend a hundred middle-grade spirit stones to sit here for two or three months.

One month later.

A few alchemists who have finished refining the fifth-grade intermediate elixir have already finished it, and the realm of these cultivators who have finished refining is the early stage of the spirit transformation.

Ten days later.

Most of the fifth-grade intermediate elixirs have been finished, and a few fifth-grade upper-grade elixirs have also been finished in forty days.

After finishing the refining, there will be a special cultivator to collect the elixir and register the grade of the alchemy furnace used to refine the elixir.

The scores of these have been calculated and are still being displayed.

The full score is 100 points, and the theoretical maximum score is 200 points.

Thousands of years ago, the success rate of refining fifth-grade upper-grade elixir was more than 50%, and this time the success rate of refining sixth-grade intermediate elixir is still more than 50%. The full score multiplied by the improvement coefficient of two can reach the theoretical maximum score.

In fact, in the previous alchemy competitions, alchemists who can exceed 100 points will only appear once every thirty or forty sessions.

"The highest scorer has not even scored 50 points yet."

"Don't look at it. Let alone 50 points, 70 points are basically out of the top 100."

The score ranking list on the light screen shows a maximum of 100 people.

When the last alchemist finishes refining the elixir and the score is announced, the 100 alchemists who remain on the list will receive rewards.

First to third, fourth to tenth, eleventh to twentieth.

There are also twenty-one to fifty, fifty-one to one hundred.

There are five major levels of rewards, and the rewards for the top three are not exactly the same.

The time has come to 50 days.

Except for a few fifth-grade top-grade elixirs, other fifth-grade elixirs have been refined.

And the refining time of the sixth-grade elixir is at least two months.

For example, Li Qianqing's refining of the Huaxu Pill took about two and a half months.

The alchemists who have finished refining the pills need to stay where they are. At this time, they can choose to watch other alchemists refine pills, or they can choose to close their eyes and rest, waiting for the end of the alchemy competition.

Most alchemists choose to observe other alchemists who are still refining pills, and maybe they can learn something.

At this time, Wu Tianyou is among the five people.

Except for Wu Tianyou and Li Qianqing, the pills of the other three have been refined and the scores have been released.

Since the five people were in the same batch during the assessment, the areas where the five people were arranged were relatively close. Among them, the 676th area is where Wu Tianyou is, right next to Li Qianqing.

"Looking at Fellow Daoist Li refining the Huaxu Pill, it seems quite realistic. I wonder how many pills he can make in the end?"

"Basically one."

"It's not bad to be able to refine a Huaxu Pill. Fellow Daoist Li seems to be less than 3,000 years old. With this age, plus the alchemy furnace of the third-grade upper-grade magic weapon level, I estimate that he can get at least 80 points."

"It's safe to get 80 points in the past, and it's safe to enter the top 100. It depends on the situation of other alchemists. If you are lucky, it's possible to enter the top 50."

The three watched Li Qianqing and Wu Tianyou refine the pills and began to communicate with each other.

Such exchanges will not affect the alchemists who are still refining pills.

They mainly talked about Li Qianqing's situation. Compared with Li Qianqing, Wu Tianyou, who also refined the sixth-grade lower-grade pill, had difficulty getting 70 points even if the success rate reached 50% in the end, and it was even more impossible to enter the top 100.

Wu Tianyou, who is in the late stage of the Spiritualization, is more than 8,000 years old. In terms of realm and age, he is a negative score compared to most alchemists who refine low-grade sixth-level pills.

As they chatted, they also talked about their own situations.

"I don't know if I can enter the top 500 this time."

"I think it's a bit difficult for you. Shu Daoyou still has a lot of hope. When she finished refining, she appeared on the list at 98th place when the scores were counted."

"Outside the top 100, I think they are all about the same."

In addition to the ranking of the top 100 on the light screen, after the alchemy competition is over, they can all get their scores in this alchemy competition and their ranking among nearly 2,000 alchemists.

The time has come to 70 days.

Wu Tianyou has already refined the pill.

The final result of the pill is one less than he expected.

He was very dissatisfied with this result. He could have gotten 70 points, but now it is still a question whether he can get 60 points.

At this time, he looked at Li Qianqing.

Li Qianqing, who was refining the Void Pill, was about to enter the end of the pill refining.

Reaching this step in 70 days is much faster than refining the Huaxu Pill normally.

The length of time it takes to refine the pill can affect the final result, but the impact is not significant. Even if the time for refining the pill is compressed to the limit, the final success rate is not high and the score obtained is also low. (End of this chapter)
