"Fellow Daoist Li, your life has been good these years." Wu Tianyou couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw Li Qianqing.
Today, Wu Tianyou is not far from the peak of becoming a god.
After he reaches the peak of God Transformation, it shouldn't take long to break through to the Void Refining Stage. After all, in his previous life, Wu Tianyou finally became the master of the Dan Palace branch in Nanmo City.
"Hahaha, okay, okay." Li Qianqing smiled back, and then said, "I think Elder Wu looks like you are now, I think it won't be long before you become the deputy hall master of this branch."
Wu Tianyou accepted Li Qianqing's blessing, but did not continue the conversation. The topic returned to Li Qianqing.
"I really didn't expect that fellow Taoist can open up a space passage in the vast world, but I underestimated it before."
Previously, when Li Qianqing had made enough contributions to become the honorary deacon of the Alchemy Palace, Wu Tianyou also invited Li Qianqing to join the Alchemy Palace, but Li Qianqing refused because he wanted to gain influence in the spiritual world.
At that time, he also said that the spiritual world is not as good as the mortal world, and it is not easy to complete the formation of a god-forming force.
Opening up a space channel and bringing up all the monks from the lower realm to the late Nascent Soul stage will indeed solve this problem perfectly.
The reason why Wu Tianyou knows so much is naturally because he pays more attention to Li Qianqing in the future.
A monk with alchemy talent like Li Qianqing deserves his attention.
He knew that Li Qianqing was now the head of the Li family in the Mortal Realm, and that they had established the family's ancestral land near Liuyun City. He also knew that most of the elixirs sold in the Li family's shop were made by Li Qianqing.
Although Li Qianqing did not continue to take on tasks in the Alchemy Palace, he did not waste his talent in alchemy. He was still very happy.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Qianqing revealed the purpose of coming to find Wu Tianyou.
"Elder Wu, I came here mainly for the alchemy competition."
It was not difficult for Wu Tianyou to guess the reason for Li Qianqing's appearance here. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You didn't come to the alchemy competition thousands of years ago. I thought fellow Taoist you were not interested in this alchemy competition."
"Hahaha. With my level a thousand years ago, participating in the alchemy competition is just a formality."
"It seems that fellow Taoist you are very confident in your alchemy skills now."
"Of course." Li Qianqing smiled confidently.
"That's good. Let's go to the main hall together in a few days."
Wu Tianyou also meets the criteria to participate in the alchemy competition. When he breaks through to the void refining stage, he will not be able to participate in the alchemy competition.
If monks in the Void Refining Stage can participate, there is not much point in participating, because the rewards of the Alchemy Competition are mainly aimed at the God Transformation monks.
The Five Elements Elixir Reward this time is of no use to monks in the Void Refining Stage.
The alchemy competition, to put it bluntly, is to inspire talented alchemists in the divine transformation stage, hoping that they can grow better in the future.
Shortly after Li Qianqing explained his intention, Wu Tianyou reported his information.
Another benefit of reporting information in a timely manner is that there is no need to pay any spiritual stones when transmitting information from Nanmo City to Danhe City, where the Dandian headquarters is located. Dandian will pay for the round trip.
If you go to the Alchemy Palace Headquarters to register, you will be fine, but you will have to pay an extra amount of spiritual stones. When you come back, you can use the teleportation array, and the fee will still be recorded in the Alchemy Palace.
Later, under the arrangement of Wu Tianyou, Li Qianqing lived in the branch of Dan Palace for a month.
During this period, Li Qianqing also took on a simple alchemy task, which he completed just before leaving Nanmo City.
When setting off, there were two men and one woman beside Wu Tianyou. Like Li Qianqing, they were alchemists who signed up to participate in the alchemy competition, and they were all invited by Wu Tianyou to go with him.
Those who can be invited by Wu Tianyou, in addition to having a good relationship with him, also have good talent in alchemy.
After other alchemists sign up with him, he is responsible for reporting the information and will not withhold any information.
……
The northern region of the human spirit region, Danhe City.
Danhe City is a large city, but its scale has surpassed ordinary large cities.
In a large city like this, at least one Fusion Stage monk is guarded all year round, and you may also encounter Mahayana monks.
Of course, the possibility of encountering a Mahayana monk is extremely small. You must know that there are less than ten Mahayana monks in the human race.
The master of the main hall of the Alchemy Palace, in addition to being a ninth-level alchemist, is also a Mahayana monk. He has been in this position for at least fifty thousand years.
In the alchemy competition, the highest presiding officer is only the elder of the main hall of the alchemy hall. It is difficult for alchemists like them to meet the deputy hall master, let alone the master of the main hall.
"Everyone, see you in three days."
"See you in three days."
After arriving at Danhe City, everyone parted ways temporarily.
The alchemy competition will begin in three days, and they will all go to the Alchemy Palace Headquarters then.
Li Qianqing had never seen the three deacons of the branch of the Alchemy Palace who were also with Wu Tianyou in his previous life. He had heard of one of them who later turned out to be quite famous as an alchemist.
In the next three days, Li Qianqing visited the Monk Square Market in Danhe City.
The point is to patronize the monks setting up stalls to see if there is any opportunity to pick up the missing items, but in the end they buy nothing.
Picking up leaks depends on luck.
…
The main hall of the Alchemy Palace is extremely lively today, with talented alchemists from all over the place gathering here.
The alchemy competition held once in a thousand years is about to begin. This competition also attracts many monks living in Danhe City.
To watch the alchemist's alchemy competition, you need to purchase a ticket.
The entrance fee is one hundred yuan for middle-grade spiritual stones.
The location of the tickets is divided into inner area and outer area.
Both cost one hundred pieces of mid-grade spiritual stones. The difference is that tickets for the inner area are only sold to alchemists.
As a contestant, Li Qianqing had already entered the main hall of the Alchemy Palace with Wu Tianyou and four other people, and came to the place where they would be assessed.
You must get 90 points or above in the assessment to be eligible to participate in the final alchemy competition.
The assessment is divided into two levels, each level is fifty points.
"You guys can't even pass the assessment, then I will be laughed at by a bunch of old guys." Wu Tianyou couldn't help but say when the assessment was about to begin.
As the elders of the Dan Palace branch, there is also a secret competition between the elders of the various branches.
The alchemists they brought here are also his front.
If the alchemist brought by Wu Tianyou couldn't even pass the test, then the words "old-sighted and dim" would have to accompany him for at least a thousand years.
A discerning eye is the title he wants.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, if I can't pass the assessment, I will never make alchemy again."
"If you can't recognize medicine, then you really shouldn't make elixirs."
No one will feel that they can't even pass the assessment. The assessment is just a test of the water at most. To become an honorary deacon of the Dan Palace branch, there is little water.
Of course, the assessment test cannot be taken lightly. In every alchemy competition, there have been alchemists who failed in the assessment test.
"Those whose names are read enter the assessment room in order, Wu Tianyou, Li Qianqing..."
"It's our turn, hurry up and get there."
"Okay."
When entering the assessment room, it means that the assessment officially begins. In the first level of the assessment, the elixir will be displayed on the screen in front of you. All you need to do is tell the elixir's grade and its effect.
If this is the assessment of a spiritual planter, the test must be more detailed, such as the year the elixir grows, when it enters the maturity stage, what needs to be done at each stage of the growth period, etc...
The assessment before him was not difficult for Li Qianqing.
Fifty kinds of elixirs, when the picture appeared, he gave corresponding answers.
"Congratulations on getting everything correct. You got fifty points. Let's move on to the second level of the assessment."
The people who assess them are not people, but the spirit of the auxiliary magic weapon left behind by the ancestors of Dan Palace.
It is said that the body of this magic weapon is a medicine basket, but no one has seen it except the senior officials of the Alchemy Palace.
The second level of assessment also presents a picture. The difference from the previous level is that this picture only has three places on the elixir. They have to answer the corresponding elixir based on these characteristics.
Compared with the previous level, even experienced alchemy masters may make mistakes in this level. The assessment can be passed with a total of 90 points. Li Qianqing can pass the assessment as long as he does not answer an outrageous 11 questions incorrectly.
There were still fifty questions. Li Qianqing only got stuck on two of them, but answered the rest very smoothly.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
“Congratulations on passing the assessment!”
In the end, he passed the assessment with full marks.
This is also what he requires of himself. He was already a master of alchemy in his previous life. If he cannot do this, he will reflect on the problem himself.
"Contestant, what is the elixir you want to refine next?"
"Sixth level low-grade, Void Transformation Pill."
"Okay."
After Qi Ling's voice disappeared, a line appeared on the honorary deacon's token on his waist. The line only flashed and disappeared quickly.
This is a sign that he passed the test.
After passing the assessment, you need to explain to the weapon spirit what elixir you want to refine in the final competition.
The elixir needed for refining the elixir will be produced by the elixir palace.
The Alchemy Palace recommends not to refine elixirs that are too special. If there is no corresponding elixir in the Alchemy Palace, there are only two options left.
One of them is to prepare himself.
The second is disqualification.
In the beginning, there was no such rule, until an alchemy competition, someone wanted to refine a very unsophisticated sixth-level low-grade elixir, but the elixir palace for refining this elixir could not come up with it, so there were Got this rule.
Disqualification is no joke.
If you refine an elixir that is too unorthodox, the elder of the Alchemy Hall will have reason to say that you are looking for trouble.
The sixth-level low-grade Void Transformation Pill that Li Qianqing wants to refine can also be directly called the low-grade Void Transformation Pill. It is one of the very popular pills among the monks in the Void Refining Stage. In previous alchemy competitions, many people in the late stage of the God Transformation Alchemists all use low-grade Void Transformation Pills to participate in the final competition.
Li Qianqing is good at refining the Void Pill.
The pills that he is good at refining are easier to control, so that he can create results that suit him.
It can be excellent, but it can't be too outrageous.
When Li Qianqing came out, everyone else was in the process of assessment.
At this time, he did not attract the attention of many alchemists.
There were alchemists who were faster than him before, and none of these alchemists thought that they would be worse than Li Qianqing.
Everyone is a senior fifth-level or ordinary sixth-level alchemist, and they all have their own arrogance.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I didn't expect you to have come out." Wu Tianyou was a little surprised when he saw Li Qianqing. He thought that among the five of them, he, the most experienced, would finish the test the fastest. "How was the test?"
"Passed."
"Okay, okay... By the way, how many points did you get?"
"Elder Wu, I passed the test with full marks." Li Qianqing smiled slightly.
Wu Tianyou felt a little embarrassed when he smiled. His score in this assessment was ninety-nine points.
The first level was very simple, mainly because the characteristics of the two elixirs in the second level were too similar, which caused him to make a mistake.
Last time he scored 98 points, so this time he has improved.
"Not bad, not bad. Young people are to be feared." In the end, Wu Tianyou nodded, and did not say that he scored 99 points in the assessment.
When Li Qianqing saw this, he naturally did not take the initiative to ask. When he answered that he had perfect scores, if Wu Tianyou's scores were the same as his, he would definitely explain it.
The next three people also came out.
Their scores were ninety-five to ninety-seven.
According to the statistics of the Alchemy Palace, the number of alchemists with assessment scores between ninety-four and ninety-seven is the largest, accounting for more than 90%.
The main problem lies in the second level of assessment.
There are many elixirs in the world that look very similar, and you can't tell them apart if you don't distinguish them carefully.
It's okay to have these elixirs in front of you, but the assessment not only gives pictures, but also only gives three parts, which makes the assessment more difficult.
Since the subjects of the assessment are all Alchemists at the level of Transformation God, the final result is actually not bad. If they are alchemists below Transformation God level, it is not easy to reach 90%.
For thousands of years, alchemists have been identifying elixirs, and their experience will greatly expand them.
After everyone came out, under the leadership of Wu Tianyou, the five people went to the alchemy competition for a real competition.
There are about two thousand alchemists participating in the alchemy competition held once in a thousand years. Except for the human spirit area where more than two hundred people can participate, the number of people in other areas is less than two hundred, and in some areas there are less than a hundred people.
This time the number of alchemists coming from Qianfeng area was one hundred and thirty.
The five people came to a hall. At this moment, many alchemists had gathered here.
"Go this way." Wu Tianyou was still walking at the front of the team.
Li Qianqing followed Wu Tianyou to a counter and soon after showing his badge as the honorary deacon of the Alchemy Branch Hall, he received a number plate.
The number on the card is six hundred and seventy-five.
"Next, just wait."
After all five people received their corresponding number plates, Wu Tianyou took them to a place in the hall to wait.
After all the registered alchemists have completed the assessment, the final competition will almost begin.
While waiting, a total of five alchemists came to talk to them, and they all came to look for Wu Tianyou.
These five alchemists are all elders of other branches of the Alchemy Palace.
Wu Tianyou is relatively senior among the elders of the branch hall, and he knows many elders of the branch hall.
Li Qianqing and the other three alchemists chatted for a few words from time to time, and most of the conversation revolved around alchemy.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what kind of elixir are you refining for the competition?" asked the only female alchemist among the three.
"What I refine is the Void Transformation Pill." Li Qianqing answered truthfully. (End of chapter)
