Chapter 224 Competition (please subscribe)
Alchemy furnace, weapon refining furnace and other related tools were provided by Jiuhua Sect, and several witnesses also came forward to inspect them.
After confirming that there were no problems and the grades were exactly the same, Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin officially came to the field.
Chun Ning and the other four people were arranged to watch from the corner of the high platform here.
When they saw Lu Jiakang holding the jade slip on the alchemy table and frowning slightly, everyone had a rough idea.
This Lu Jiakang did learn some alchemy techniques before this.
As Ge Liuyang said, the techniques of alchemy are quite similar.
But it would be okay if it were an ordinary mid-level low-grade elixir, and it might be possible to refine it.
The intermediate-level elixir is obviously beyond the scope of Lu Jiakang's alchemy skills.
Looking at the tall Gu Guanlin at the other end, it was obvious that he had worked hard on alchemy.
He took the jade slip and examined it carefully, while already holding the elixir beside him and started studying it.
The next process was generally in line with the judgment of everyone present.
An hour later, the white-haired old man named Peng announced that alchemy had officially begun.
The two of them refined the elixir separately.
Now, anyone with a little knowledge of the art of alchemy can also see the gap between the two.
Lu Jiakang's various techniques are quite satisfactory and there is nothing special about them.
The ancient crown forest used a fire control technique that looked quite mysterious.
After a period of time passed, the aroma of the elixir could be clearly smelled in the ancient crown forest elixir furnace.
On Lu Jiakang's side, there was no movement at all.
At this time, Lu Jiakang was obviously more anxious. He fired several magic formulas and landed on the alchemy furnace.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of a furnace explosion.
It also announced the failure of Lu Jiakang's alchemy.
Seeing this scene, many Jiuhua Sect disciples couldn't help but let out a sound of regret.
Although they also knew that Lu Jiakang was not good at refining alchemy, they still had a little extravagant hope, but now it has completely come to nothing.
As long as Gu Guanlin can refine the elixir, it means that this first victory will belong to Daluo Sect.
Afterwards, the alchemy in Guguanlin was normal.
After he opened the furnace to take the elixir, he filled a small jade bottle with the elixir and flew it to the white-haired old man named Peng.
The white-haired old man surnamed Peng took the elixir and looked at it, then showed it to the other four witnesses, then nodded and said:
"Da Luo Zong Ancient Crown Forest Refining There are four elixirs, and the Jiuhua Sect Lu Jiakang has not yet made the elixir. In this game, the Daluo Sect wins.”
Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but glance at the ancient crown forest on the high platform.
The first time he came into contact with middle-grade elixirs, he was able to produce four elixirs. This person's attainments in alchemy are also quite good.
Even the Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion is estimated to be comparable to only a few people.
Immediately, the old man surnamed Peng began to arrange the next weapon-refining competition.
At this time, the middle-aged Confucian scholar next to the white-haired old man named Peng stood up.
He casually took out two blank jade slips and copied the contents of the jade slip that the old man surnamed Peng had recorded the Nine Luo Refining Method in front of everyone.
Then he showed the jade slips to the old man surnamed Peng and all the four witnesses looked at them one by one.
Then he raised his hand and threw the two jade slips towards Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin in the dojo.
The old man surnamed Peng smiled at Yu Changge and others and said:
"This Nine Luo Essence Refining Technique will be compared with the other four later, so I will not explain it for now. Friends, you watched it.
Even after the competition between the two nephews on the stage, we have to separate them with a soundproof cover to prevent them from communicating with the other four people.
The five of us have just determined that there is no slight difference in the refining methods in the two jade slips.
As for the weapon refining materials, I can let the two fellow Taoists take a look at them later.
I hope these two fellow Taoists will understand this. "
After the old man named Peng finished speaking, Yu Changge and Ao Langtian nodded to express their understanding.
Everyone waited silently for Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to check.
Half an hour later, the old man named Peng announced that the time was up.
In such a short time, it is said that the two of them can master this refining method. How deep it should be is unlikely.
At this time, the old man surnamed Peng said again:
"Two apprentice nephews, you can only use the Nine Luo Essence Refining Method now. ”
As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
"Chen Daoyou is very knowledgeable in weapon refining. If you don't use the method here, you will naturally be able to identify it."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded, raised his hand again, Throw two pieces of black metal material towards the two people in the field.
Then, his eyes were fixed on the two people on the field.
The same is true for everyone in Jiuhua Sect.
Lu Jiakang is the chief deacon of the Jiuhua Sect's Weapon Refining Pavilion. Everyone undoubtedly has great expectations for this competition.
Soon, after the two of them took a look at the materials in their hands, they began to invest in the newly installed refining furnace and began to refine and purify the materials.
Chun Ning’s eyes glanced at each of them, and then fell on Lu Jiakang.
Observe carefully.
He had basically no contact with the art of weapon refining before, but he has a spiritual body of a weapon master, and his sensitivity to the art of weapon refining is far beyond that of ordinary people.
At this moment, I could roughly sense that Lu Jiakang seemed to be slightly better than the ancient crown forest.
So I watched it carefully.
After all, he will also compete with Nao Xuan in this aspect later.
Take this opportunity to get familiar with it first.
Oddly enough, Chu Ning knew nothing about weapon refining before.
But at this moment, looking at Lu Jiakang's weapon refining, he felt something.
I have to say that the spiritual talent given by the system is indeed powerful.
Not only Chu Ning saw it, but gradually, some people with advanced cultivation levels and people familiar with weapon refining also saw it.
Lu Jiakang's performance at this time was obviously even better.
I saw him putting the material into the furnace to temper it for a while, then taking it out and forging it with a hammer.
After repeating this several times, the material that was originally as big as a fist in his hand became only as big as an egg.
After a while, the middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly said:
“It’s time!”
Lu Jiakang and Na Gu Guanlin both stopped refining and raised their hands. Throw two pieces of material onto the high platform.
The middle-aged scholar casually grabbed two things in his hand.
After a little investigation, he handed the materials to the old man surnamed Peng and others.
Then, the middle-aged Confucian scholar said:
"Both sides use the Jiuluo refining method. In terms of refining quality, Jiuhua Sect Lu Jiakang is slightly better. In this match In the competition, Jiuhua Zong wins!”
“Oh!”
As the middle-aged Confucian scholar named Chen finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers.
The Jiuhua Sect disciples all had smiles on their faces.
They have discovered that the people of Daluo Sect are menacing, but they are not invincible.
Although Chu Ning and Yuan Rongzhang did not shout and cheer, their faces were a little more joyful.
Chun Ning's eyes were a little more thoughtful at this moment.
“When Senior Brother Lu was refining weapons just now, in addition to the skill of controlling fire and tempering.
The forging technique also has mysteries, and it should be combined with the use of some kind of magic power. .
There are also certain rules in terms of rhythm and strength."
Chun Ning secretly recalled Lu Jiakang's technique when he was refining the weapon.
“Write all these down first, and compare them later after I see the refining method. Maybe I will gain more insights.”
Chun Ning thought, The other side is paying attention to the situation in the dojo.
After finishing the alchemy and weapon refining competitions.
Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin left the high platform and flew into the middle of the fighting field, which was about a hundred feet in size.
This venue is surrounded by restricted fluctuations. It is a venue that Jiuhua Sect has arranged a long time ago.
Of course, for the sake of safety, several witnesses, Ao Langtian and others conducted a check.
At this moment, when Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin entered, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
It is different from the previous two games.
This competition not only requires the two sides to compete directly, but also faces great dangers. It is also related to which sect can take the lead in the first round of competition.
“According to the rules set by the principals of both parties, the fighting method is not limited to means, and there are no other restrictions except that no one is killed.
If one party feels that it is unbeatable, it can admit defeat in advance.”< br>
After saying this very simply, the white-haired old man named Peng sat down.
These words made the disciples on both sides look solemn.
This is actually not very different from a life and death battle.
In the field, the short Gu Guanlin suddenly raised his hand as soon as he finished speaking.
Then, a fierce magic fire knife attacked Lu Jiakang.
At the same time, he also had a long black knife in his hand.
The flames flashing around the long knife were obviously not ordinary things.
Lu Jiakang was holding a giant hammer in his hand at this moment, and he struck it down quickly.
The same fire light flew out and hit the fiery red sword light in the air. At the same time, Lu Jiakang also exuded an earthy yellow mana shield.
Obviously, this late-stage foundation-building monk from Jiuhua Sect has not relaxed his defensive vigilance.
At the same time that his shield lit up, the ancient crown forest on the opposite side raised his hand again, and several talismans were fully activated.
Looking at the power of the talismans, they are all intermediate and high-grade talismans, and there are even high-level talismans mixed in.
However, Lu Jiakang was also prepared and blocked them all one by one.
At the same time, several attacks were launched.
The two of them were obviously well prepared for this fight and used all kinds of methods.
But everyone also knows that the real resolution will come after both sides have exhausted their means.
Gradually, things like talismans no longer appeared in the hands of both sides, but they began to attack continuously with magic weapons.
Obviously, even if they were extremely well prepared, they would be almost exhausted by the continuous fierce fighting.
At this time, Gu Guanlin suddenly took out a talisman and activated it.
While the whole body was covered, the long knife in his hand had also disappeared, and instead there was a short knife.
"Magic weapon!"
Chun Ning, who was watching the battle from a distance, muttered to himself when he saw this scene.
I know that this person is obviously using his trump card.
Lu Jiakang in the field obviously knew this, and his face became serious at the same time.
He waved his hand casually, and a shield appeared in his hand, and at the same time, a silver dart appeared in his hand.
"It's also a magic weapon, and there are two of them!"
Chun Ning was a little surprised when he saw the shield and silver dart in Lu Jiakang's hands.
It is not easy to use magic weapons with the cultivation level in the foundation building stage, and the required mana consumption is huge.
This is especially true when using two magic weapons at the same time.
After all, not everyone has Chu Ning’s level of magical power, and can use magic weapons with their early foundation building skills.
Moreover, not everyone's magic weapon is like a double fire ring. The mother ring absorbs not very strong mana and can gather and drive the fire attribute aura to let the child rings launch powerful attacks.
Lu Jiakang had been fighting fiercely for a long time. After using the magic weapon at this moment, he obviously felt that a lot of his magic power had been consumed.
The next moment, Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin were seen waving their hands at the same time.
The silver darts and daggers flew out and shot towards each other.
Two rays of light, one silver and one red, collided fiercely in the air!
The next moment, he suddenly turned away and then jumped out.
The red-gang dagger flew in front of Lu Jiakang and struck hard on the shield formed by the shield in front of him.
The shield broke, but it was blocked by the shield inside!
The silver dart on the other side also hit the talisman shield in front of Gu Guanlin, hitting him hard.
The body of Gu Guanlin was hit hard and fell backwards!
But what surprised everyone was that the ancient crown forest seemed to be uninjured.
“This person is wearing an armor!”
Soon, everyone discovered the reason.
Under the influence of the silver dart's magic power, Gu Guanlin's robe shattered.
Revealing a piece of metal armor on his body.
This armor is obviously not ordinary. It was not damaged at all by the silver dart.
At this moment, a sneer flashed across the face of Gu Guanlin, who had calmed down.
He raised his hands suddenly, and saw a short awl appear in his hand.
The next moment, several rays of lightning came out from it and bombarded towards the ancient crown forest.
“Thunder spells, this person actually has a strange spiritual root like thunder spirit root!”
Seeing Gu Guanlin's attack, everyone in the Jiuhua Sect changed their expressions.
Lu Jiakang's face also changed slightly. At this moment, he no longer had the mana to support him in continuing to use the shield magic weapon in his hand.
But the lightning struck from all directions, and even if he wanted to block it directly with his shield, he couldn't.
Only ordinary magic weapons can be used to condense the shield.
However, this kind of mana shield cannot support at all under the thunder attribute attack of Ancient Crown Forest.
When the magic shield outside Lu Jiakang was broken for the third time, a thunder technique hit him hard.
“Poof!”
Lu Jiakang shuddered, and then a stream of blood spurted out.
His face turned pale.
Obviously this blow had seriously injured him.
At this moment, Lu Jiakang still refused to admit defeat. He raised the magic weapon in his hand and was about to attack again.
“Jiuhua Sect surrenders in this match!”
At this moment, Yu Changge stood up and said in a deep voice.
The next moment, his figure flashed into the mana restriction.
But at this moment, another lightning technique from the ancient crown forest had hit Lu Jiakang.
Yu Changge waved his hand, and the thunder technique suddenly disappeared in the air.
And his eyes also glanced coldly at the ancient crown forest.
The latter had a sarcastic look on his face.
“Stop for a moment.”
Yu Changge said nothing more and took Lu Jiakang out of the restriction.
In the dojo, there was not much commotion at the moment.
Lu Jiakang is the most advanced among the three people in the Jiuhua Sect, and he carries two magic weapons, but he still failed in the battle.
This was undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the Jiuhua Sect disciples, and also made everyone a little silent.
That Gu Guanlin was not the one with the highest cultivation level among the three people in Daluo Sect.
The one with the highest cultivation level among the three is Ao Xuan!
Now Lu Jiakang, who has the highest level among the Sanjiu Hua Sect, has failed against Gu Guanlin, who is not the highest in the Daluo Sect.
In the first round of three games, Jiuhua Sect only won one, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on Jiuhua Sect’s victory today.
Yu Changge took Lu Jiakang back to the high platform.
"Two junior brothers, Brother Fool is incompetent and is holding us back."
Lu Jiakang smiled bitterly at Chu Ning and the others, his tone full of guilt.
Chu Ning and Yuan Rongzhang wanted to step forward to comfort him.
The old man surnamed Peng had already stepped forward and said:
"Sect Master Yu, according to the rules, we need to isolate this nephew. After all, he has just seen nine Luo has refined his technique."
Yu Changge nodded, took out a pill and handed it to Lu Jiakang, and then returned to his seat.
The white-haired old man named Peng called Lu Jiakang and Gu Guanlin to one side.
Several witnesses took action at the same time, imposing an isolation restriction on each of them.
In this way, although Lu Jiakang and the two could still hear the outside world, they were unable to communicate with the outside world.
“The second round of competition will begin!”
As the old man surnamed Peng said these words, Yuan Rongzhang, who was originally standing next to Chu Ning, took a step forward.
On the other side, Leng Daichun of Daluo Sect also stood up.
"The remaining two are all intermediate and high-grade elixir recipes. Please ask Fellow Daoist Jia to draw one of them."
At this time, the old man surnamed Peng took out two more elixir recipes for the female golden elixir cultivator to draw.
Then the elixir recipe was copied into two jade slips and handed over to Yu Changge and Ao Langtian after they saw that there were no problems.
It was then handed over to Yuan Rongzhang and Leng Daichun.
The two men immediately took the elixir recipe and elixir and flew up into the alchemy platform above the dojo.
Chun Ning was sitting on the high platform at the moment, looking at the expressions of the two people on the alchemy stage.
When I saw that the expressions of the two people were extremely calm and there was no big fluctuation, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
“It seems that these two people should be able to refine high-grade mid-level elixirs.”
Thinking of this, Chu Ning’s brows raised slightly.
In this round of three games, Yuan Rongzhang is most likely to win in the alchemy competition.
After all, I had never heard of Yuan Rongzhang having much contact with weapon refining before.
As for Daluo Sect, since they dare to propose this kind of competition method, it is estimated that these three people are involved in alchemy and weapon refining.
It’s just a matter of level of attainment.
So Yuan Rongzhang has a very small chance of winning.
In terms of fighting, after all, Yuan Rongzhang is only in the middle stage of foundation building, but Leng Daichun is in the late stage of foundation building.
If you want to win, it will be more difficult.
Fortunately, Chu Ning has gained some understanding of Yuan Rongjian's alchemy skills in the past few years and knows that the other party has made great progress.
I am new to refining an intermediate high-grade elixir. Under normal circumstances, I should be certain that the elixir will be 40 to 50% complete.
This still has a certain chance of winning. After all, not everyone has the alchemy skills like Chu Ning.
While Chu Ning was thinking like this, the old man named Peng had announced that the game had officially begun.
Chu Ning watched from the high platform as the two of them used magic techniques to control fire and prepare to extract the elixir.
The next moment, his expression became more serious.
