Chapter 344 Token obtained, preliminary round begins

After receiving the participation tokens, everyone began to go their separate ways. Everyone was in a different group, and the venue for the preliminary round was not in the same place.

Xu Feng was lucky. The competition venue for his group 64 was located in the Alchemist Alliance, so he simply found a chair in the hall and sat down casually.

While continuing to look at the surrounding environment, he waited for the start of the preliminary round.

One day passed in the blink of an eye, and at noon the next day, a voice message sounded in the hall.

"For the sixty-four groups participating in the second-level competition, please gather immediately in the room numbered 'You' on the first floor."

Xu Feng did not waste this day. He had already figured out the situation here. He passed by the room with the name 'You' yesterday, so after hearing the message, he did not hesitate at all and immediately went to the room. Rush over there.

After a while, Xu Feng came to the door of the room named "You". At the door of the room, there were four burly monks holding magical weapons and fully armed guards.

His spiritual consciousness swept over the four people, and Xu Feng's expression was slightly stern. He did not expect that the two people in front of him were actually late-stage foundation-building monks, and they were not the ones who had just broken through, but were at the ninth level of foundation-building. .

This made him sigh with emotion. The Ji Dan Sect was worthy of being the number one sect in the Song Dynasty. As far as he knew, the second level group was divided into more than 80 groups. Each group was equipped with four ninth-level foundation-building monks. , then more than 80 groups would require more than 300. This number is simply unimaginable in Wei.

He once understood the strength of the Jiugong Sect. All the ninth-level monks of the Foundation Building were added up, and there were only more than a dozen of them at full count. The difference could be said to be clear at a glance.

After careful inspection, Xu Feng hung the silver token in his hand at a conspicuous place on his waist, and then stepped into the door.

After entering the gate, I looked around and saw the bright lights here, illuminating the entire hall. It was so bright.

At this moment, there are already many contestants gathered in the hall. Some of them are in groups, whispering, and some of them are silent and standing alone.

Xu Feng's eyes swept over the shoulders of these monks, trying to understand the strength of his opponents. When he found that among the more than fifty monks present, only two had three elixirs embroidered on their shoulders. He felt much more relaxed.

Although with his level, it shouldn't be a big problem to pass the preliminary round, but if there are too many second-level high-level contestants, it will be difficult to say, because he did not intend to use all his strength in the beginning.

Of course, you have to wait until the rematch to use your ultimate move.

Xu Feng's arrival did not attract too much attention from others, because there were only two elixirs embroidered on his shoulders, and his level at the scene could only be regarded as average.

In the center of the hall, there are a hundred densely separated areas carefully arranged. There is an alchemy furnace in the middle of the area, and there is a tall wooden frame next to it, which contestants can use to place elixirs.

At this moment, the impatient alchemist had found his own place according to his own number, and began to take out the elixir from his storage bag to prepare for the alchemy.

Xu Feng saw this and walked over, found his corresponding position, and then began to think about what elixir he should refine for the competition later.

When he was about to think about it, he suddenly heard exclamations coming from the hall, which made him involuntarily open his eyes, trying to understand what happened.

At the door of the hall, a female nun wearing a light blue gauze dress, simple yet elegant, with red peonies embroidered on the skirt came.

She walked calmly, her cloud-like hair was tied up high with a hosta, her plain face was still as bright as the morning glow reflecting the snow, her brows were hiddenly delicate, and her every frown and smile showed her gentleness.

Looking carefully up and down, Xu Feng couldn't help but admire her. No wonder this woman could make many male cultivators in the hall exclaim. With such temperament and charm, she is definitely the best choice.

However, he was still relatively determined. After taking dozens of appreciative glances, his mind was completely focused on the upcoming game.

Although the beauty is good, how can she be compared with the alchemy competition?

After waiting like this for about an hour, when all the contestants finally arrived, the entire hall was suddenly enveloped in a strange light shield, and just when everyone was in shock and uncertainty.

A figure suddenly walked out from behind the stone door, and everyone looked back.

I saw the person coming with a round face and a purple beard, calm and intimidating, wearing an alchemist's exclusive robe, with three alchemy furnaces on his chest and two elixir plants on his shoulders.

"The examiner sent is actually a third-level mid-level alchemist. I have to say that the Ji Alchemy Sect really attaches great importance to the alchemy competition."

While he was sighing in his heart, the Jindan monk who appeared just now said loudly:

"I, Lan Song, am the invigilator of your 64th group. The assessment method this time is different from usual.

The usual assessment is for the contestants to try their best to refine their best elixir.

But this time the assessment is different. Our Ji Dan Sect will provide you with a second-level low-grade elixir recipe. You can refine the elixir according to the recipe.

Then the final evaluation will be conducted based on three aspects: elixir refining speed, elixir yield rate, and elixir quality. "

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that some people were happy and some were worried.

The ones who are happy are naturally those second-level low-level alchemists. If the competition continues in the same way as before, they will basically be declared out.

Because no matter how good the quality of the second-order low-grade elixir you refine is, it will always be much inferior to the second-order high-grade elixir, and you will definitely be at a disadvantage during the evaluation.

Now, everyone has refined the second-order low-grade elixir, bringing everyone to the same level. At least there is hope of winning, right?

The ones with ugly faces were the second-level high-grade alchemists. Originally, they didn’t pay attention to the so-called preliminary round. They thought that as long as they casually refined a batch of second-level high-grade elixirs, they could easily advance to the semi-finals. After all, the level of elixirs was Then there it is!

Now that they have done this, their hope of easily advancing has been stifled, so it's no wonder they feel good about it.

There was that unruly person who asked directly:

"I dare to ask senior, why did your sect suddenly change the rules? This caught us off guard. Besides, it is unfair to us second-level high-grade alchemists!"

"Haha, it's fair. What do you think is fair? Is it more fair to refine the second-level group and divide it into three groups: lower, middle and upper? Then you may have to complain again.

The reason why the sect made the decision to reform this time was to find some truly talented alchemists to train. The previous competition method was really outdated.

In order to participate in the competition, I have been refining a furnace of elixirs for several years. No matter how good the elixirs are, what is the use? If I try to refining another elixir, my original shape will be revealed?

Therefore, after careful consideration, we, the top management of Jidan Sect, came up with such a novel competition method.

Without further ado, the competition has officially begun. There are a total of ten alchemy materials prepared for you in this competition. If you cannot make elixir with more than ten copies, it means you will be eliminated. "

Following the order from Master Jin Dan, everyone rushed to pick up the elixir prescription in front of them and study it carefully.
