73'75

The second round of the alchemy competition was about to begin. In the huge room, the 220 people who passed the first round of the competition all stood together waiting for today's competition.

Luo Mingyi saw the unusually weak and even slightly sickly He Zhirou again. She leaned gently against a large stone pillar between the houses, waiting quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the blue-robed female cultivator from yesterday walked out from the inner room, stood in front of them, and spoke.

"Today is the second round of the Alchemy Contest. The test content is to refine basic elixirs and Bigu Pills! There are three spiritual medicines in total. If you successfully refine one furnace, you will pass. Then, the other points will be evaluated based on the number of furnaces and the quantity and quality of the pills."

"Now, all of you follow me to the competition area!"

The cultivation base of more than 200 Qi Chain disciples who participated in the competition was above the third level of Qi Chain, and spiritual fire had naturally been born in their bodies.

If you want to make elixirs, you need the blessing of fire and you must have a fire spiritual root. When a cultivator with fire spiritual roots reaches the third level of Qi Chain, an innate spiritual fire will grow in his body. This spiritual fire is used to refine elixirs.

In addition to the innate spiritual fire in the cultivator's body, which can be used to make pills, there is also the naturally formed earth fire, which can also be used to make pills.

In addition to the innate spiritual fire, Luo Mingyi also has the purple spiritual flame in his body, which is perfect for refining pills.

They all followed the blue-robed female cultivator to the compartment where yesterday's competition took place. In the room, there were only three elixirs for refining the Bigu Pill, but no earth fire or alchemy furnace.

The cubicle used for the competition was semi-enclosed. The blue-robed female examiner could see their every move clearly, while the fellow students taking the test nearby could not peek at others to cheat.

At this time, the blue-robed female cultivator standing in front held three incense sticks in her hand, "When these three incense sticks are all burned out, the competition will be over. Everyone, you can start now!"

The blue-robed female cultivator said this and waved her hand, and the first stick of incense began to burn.

Luo Mingyi slapped his storage bag and took out the black jade furnace. He first cleaned the furnace. After two cleaning spells were performed, the furnace became very clean.

Next, it's time to deal with the elixir.

To refine the Bigu Pill, two kinds of spiritual medicines are needed. The first is spiritual rice, and the second is spiritual flower.

The spiritual rice only needs to be washed clean and then dried with spiritual power before it can be used in refining. However, this is different from the spiritual flower, and the roots and stems need to be removed, leaving only the white petals and the center of the flower. Then, wash them clean and dry them to make the Bigu Pill.

To refine a furnace of fasting pills, ten kilograms of spiritual rice and one spiritual flower are needed. The spiritual rice here is of medium quality, and the age of the spiritual flowers is only ten years old.

Luo Mingyi first spent half an incense stick of time to prepare the three spiritual flowers and thirty kilograms of spiritual rice for three portions of fasting pills, and then began to formally refine the pills.

After everything was ready, Luo Mingyi released the purple spiritual flame to slowly bake the black jade furnace.

As the most basic elixir in the world of immortal cultivation, this Bigu Pill has only two ingredients and is the easiest to refine successfully.

Luo Mingyi chanted a series of spells and entered the alchemy furnace, then threw ten kilograms of spiritual rice into the alchemy furnace.

As soon as he thought about it, the temperature of the Purple Spirit Flame increased a bit, and began to sizzle and roast the spiritual rice in the furnace.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Mingyi made a few incantations with her hands and quickly opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. She threw the soul-replenishing petals into the alchemy furnace and continued refining.

She used her spiritual power and spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual objects in the alchemy furnace, and used her mind to control the temperature of the flame.

Gradually, the spiritual rice in the furnace was refined into fine powder and merged with the spiritual liquid transformed from the spiritual-replenishing flower.

Next comes the most important step, dividing the pills!

Luo Mingyi entered several complicated alchemy formulas into the alchemy furnace.

"Divide the pill and condense it!"

Her spiritual consciousness had been watching the situation in the alchemy furnace. She saw a flash of spiritual light in the completely fused Qigong Dan spiritual liquid, and it was divided into ten equal parts. Then, under the continuous condensation of the flame, it condensed into ten round pills.

Luo Mingyi's emotions did not fluctuate at all, and a faint fragrance gradually emanated from the alchemy furnace.

She knew that the elixir was ready at this moment!

Luo Mingyi waved his hand, and the lid of the alchemy furnace opened, revealing ten pale white round pills inside.

Top-grade fasting pill! Ten pills in total!

Luo Mingyi took out a white porcelain bottle and put the ten pills into the bottle.

At this time, one third of the second incense stick had been burned.

Luo Mingyi used the cleaning technique to clean the alchemy furnace and then began to refine the second furnace.

Before this, Luo Mingyi was already able to refine more complex Qi Gathering Pills, and was able to refine mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

She also didn't expect that this simplest fasting pill would have three furnaces full of ten pills each, and all of them were top quality!

After Luo Mingyi had finished refining the three furnaces of pills, she looked up and saw that the third incense stick had burned almost halfway.

She placed the three bottles of pills on the table, cleaned the alchemy furnace, put it away, and waited in the compartment for the competition to end.

The blue-robed female cultivator naturally noticed Luo Mingyi's actions. She was greatly shocked that this outer sect disciple who had reached the third level of Qi Linking could actually complete the refining process ahead of time, and there was still no pill left in the three furnaces.

If she knew the quality of these three furnaces of pills, she would be even more shocked.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, as the third stick of incense went out, everyone was awakened by the sound of a bell and walked out of the compartment.

Then, three blue-robed female cultivators stepped forward and began to check everyone's alchemy results one by one.

After a while, the blue-robed female cultivator who came first stood up, holding a list in her hand, and said, "This time, only 150 outer disciples have successfully refined the Bigu Pill. Next, the disciples whose names are read, please stand up."

"Luo Mingyi, you have successfully refined three furnaces of Bigu Pills, which will add 20 points. Each furnace contains 10 Bigu Pills, which will add 30 points. A total of 30 Bigu Pills are top-grade, which will add 60 points. Luo Mingyi passed the second round of competition, which will add a total of 110 points. The total score is 170 points, and you are ranked first!"

After the blue-robed female cultivator finished reciting, Luo Mingyi walked to her side and bowed.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!"

The blue-robed female cultivator smiled gently and said, "Junior Sister Luo, you have a great talent for alchemy. From now on, just call me Senior Sister Chen!"

Luo Mingyi smiled upon hearing this, "Hello, Senior Sister Chen!"

Senior Sister Chen nodded, then took out the list and continued reading the next person.

"He Zhirou, you have successfully refined three furnaces of pills, which will earn you 20 points. Each furnace has eight pills, which will earn you no extra points, but the quality of the 24 Bigu Pills are all medium-grade, which will earn you 30 points. You have passed the second round of the competition, which will earn you a total of 50 points, for a total score of 80 points!"

He Zhirou walked up to Senior Sister Chen, her face pale, but she still smiled slightly and cupped her hands, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Senior Sister Chen nodded and continued to read out the next person who passed the competition. Chapter 74: Yuanyuan Pill, Nine Suns Secret RealmChapter 74: Yuanyuan Pill, Nine Suns Secret RealmHe Zhirou's face was still pale, and her frail figure made her look very pitiful. She slowly walked towards Luo Mingyi step by step.

Luo Mingyi nodded at her. He Zhirou was also very curious about Luo Mingyi and smiled back.

After all the people who had passed stood aside, Senior Sister Chen turned to the 150 people and said:

"Tomorrow at 3 p.m., the third round will be held here."

At this time, a disciple boldly asked: "Senior sister, if we can enter the top 100, will the reward be the same as the reward in the fighting area?"

Senior Sister Chen nodded, "Yes, Senior Uncle Su Xin has already explained before the competition that the rewards for the alchemy competition are the same as those for the fighting area competition, so as long as you can enter the top 100 tomorrow, you will be rewarded with a bottle of top-grade Qi Gathering Pill and a low-grade Foundation Building Pill."

After hearing the exact answer, many of the disciples who were confident of entering the top 100 showed excitement, while some were nervous and worried about tomorrow's competition.

Then, everyone left, and Luo Mingyi was no exception, but she went to Qingshan Cave and took the teleportation array to the market town.

Chen Lin's Dantian was destroyed, and Luo Mingyi felt very uncomfortable. Although Murong Yunyu used Zhou Xiaoying as an excuse to attack Chen Lin and Zhou Xiaoying, she still felt a little guilty in her heart.

She planned to go to the market to ask around and see if there was any information about repairing the Dantian.

After arriving at the market town, Luo Mingyi went directly to the largest shop in the market town, Lingxiao Pavilion.

"I'm looking for your boss!" As soon as she entered, Luo Mingyi said directly to the servant who received her.

"Senior sister, please wait a moment. I will take you to see the shopkeeper." Luo Mingyi was very calm. Her cultivation level was at the fourth level of Qi Chain, and the servant who received her was only at the second level of Qi Chain, so naturally he had to call her senior sister.

The servant took her around several counters before finally finding Shopkeeper Li who was busy sorting elixirs. Shopkeeper Li looked to be in his forties, with a thin face, but he looked very smart and capable.

"Shopkeeper Li, this senior sister is looking for you!"

When Shopkeeper Li turned around, he saw a very pretty little girl, about ten years old, standing in front of him, staring at him with her eyes wide open.

"You must be Shopkeeper Li, I have something to ask you."

"Tell me about it." Shopkeeper Li put down the elixir in his hand and said with some curiosity.

"Lingxiao Pavilion is the most comprehensive and powerful shop in Danxia Xianzong's market. It not only has shops in Danxia Xianzong, but also has base shops in other large markets. Shopkeeper Li, am I right?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said with great pride, "You are right. The strength of our Lingxiao Pavilion is obvious to all. There is nothing we don't have, except what you can't think of!"

After hearing this, Luo Mingyi immediately clasped his fists in admiration and said, "Manager Li, I feel much more relieved now. I want to buy some elixirs that can repair my Dantian. You must have them here!"

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, and then became a little angry.

"Hmph, little girl, you started out by praising me, but you've been trying to trick me for so long! Not only do we not have this elixir that can repair the Dantian, the entire Xuanyuan Continent doesn't even have it!"

Luo Mingyi was a little confused, "Why is that? How come you don't have any elixirs that can repair Dantian in such a big shop?"

Shopkeeper Li's consciousness swept over her, and his expression became gentler, as if he had thought of something.

"Your Dantian has no signs of damage or injury. You want to buy this Dantian repair pill for someone else. But unfortunately, the elixir required to make the Dantian repair pill is extremely rare and hard to find. Ordinary people can forget about it in this lifetime!"

Luo Mingyi still didn't give up after hearing this and continued to ask: "Boss, please tell me how hard it is to find the spiritual medicine needed for the Yuan Dan. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up easily."

Shopkeeper Li sighed. He thought of his younger brother, who committed suicide because his dantian was destroyed by his enemies and he could not bear the pain of losing all his cultivation.

"It's okay to tell you, so you can give up earlier. This Yuan Huan Dan requires a total of eight kinds of spiritual medicines. The others are easy to find, but there are only two spiritual medicines. I'm afraid you may not be able to find them even if you spend your entire life."

"The first type is called Qingmu Lingzhi, which is a wood-attributed spiritual medicine with strong vitality. This spiritual medicine can be bought in the market, but they are all low-year-old. The Qingmu Lingzhi required for the Yuanyuan Pill must be ten thousand years old. Just this point alone makes many people far behind!"

"And this second spiritual medicine is called Nine Yang Grass. This Nine Yang Grass can only be found in the Nine Yang Secret Realm. And this Nine Yang Secret Realm is one of the top ten secret realms in the entire Xuanyuan Continent. It opens once every thirty years, and only disciples in the Qi Chain Stage can enter."

Shopkeeper Li stroked his beard and suddenly remembered something. He counted with his fingers and found that "This Nine Suns Secret Realm has not been opened for 25 years. The next time it is opened will be another five years later!"

Luo Mingyi murmured, "Five years."

"Little girl, what is destined to happen will happen eventually, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced. Maybe, this is his fate!" Shopkeeper Li sighed slightly. Who would be willing to accept his fate with his Dantian destroyed!

"Thank you, Manager Li. I still want to ask one more question. Can outer disciples enter the Nine Suns Secret Realm?"

Shopkeeper Li shook his head, "Of course not! The Nine Suns Secret Realm is rich in resources and offers many opportunities. The sect will naturally send inner disciples there so that they can obtain more resources!"

Luo Mingyi bowed to Shopkeeper Li, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Li, I understand!"

Shopkeeper Li looked at Luo Mingyi, who had a determined face, and sighed. It seemed that the girl in front of him did not listen to him and still wanted to give it a try.

But for something like this, no one would give up without trying, right?

Luo Mingyi bid farewell to Shopkeeper Li and walked out of Lingxiao Pavilion.

She clenched her fists tightly. She must give her all in tomorrow's alchemy competition. Whether it is for the Nine Yang Secret Realm five years later, to return to Yunshui Village to visit her grandfather, or to improve her strength, she must enter the inner gate!

Then, Luo Mingyi immediately took the teleportation array back to the outer gate and went straight to Chen Lin's residence in Dongli Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhou Xiaoying sitting next to Chen Lin with red eyes. Chen Lin was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, asleep.

Zhou Xiaoying saw Luo Mingyi come in, wiped her tears, and pulled Luo Mingyi out of the room.

"Third sister, eldest sister just sent us a sound transmission note, listen to it!"

Luo Mingyi took the sound transmission note from Zhou Xiaoying's hand and put it to his ear.Chapter 75 Five Years of Expectation

Chapter 75 Five Years of Expectation

As soon as Luo Mingyi opened the sound transmission talisman, a young woman's voice came out.

"Mingyi, Xiaoying, I've asked Master, and now there is only one way to help Chen Lin restore his Dantian, which is to take a special elixir for Dantian repair, called Huanyuan Dan. But this Huanyuan Dan cannot be refined in the current world of immortal cultivation. Because two of the spiritual medicines are difficult to find. So, I'm sorry, I, I will think of other ways."

Ye Wenzhu's voice stopped here. Luo Mingyi looked at Zhou Xiaoying who kept her head down, and Chen Lin who was pretending to sleep, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Xiaoying, I have a way to help Chen Lin recover his Dantian."

Zhou Xiaoying suddenly raised her head, hope in her eyes, and she tightly grasped Luo Mingyi's arm with both hands.

"Third, Third Sister, what you said is true! You, you can really help Chen Lin recover his Dantian!"

Luo Mingyi nodded, she held Zhou Xiaoying's hand with her backhand and looked at Zhou Xiaoying with a firm face.

"Wait for me for five years. After five years, I will definitely restore Chen Lin's Dantian to its original state!"

At this moment, Luo Mingyi noticed that Chen Lin's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Zhou Xiaoying was about to kneel in front of Luo Mingyi, but was quickly pulled back by Luo Mingyi.

"What are you doing!?"

"Third sister, I, Zhou Xiaoying, don't know how to repay you for your great kindness!" Zhou Xiaoying said as she was about to cry again.

Luo Mingyi sighed. After all, Zhou Xiaoying was still a nine-year-old child. After being away from home for three years, he came to this world of cultivating immortals where it is very risky, but he has no strength or support.

In her heart, Chen Lin's immortal path and future were ruined because of her.

She thought there was no turning back, but now, someone was standing in front of her, telling her that she had a way to help them. How could she not be excited!

"Don't worry, I won't ignore Chen Lin. But before that, I must enter the inner gate. Xiaoying, take good care of him, I will come to see him tomorrow."

With tears in her eyes, Zhou Xiaoying nodded quickly and watched Luo Mingyi walk out.

After Luo Mingyi left, Zhou Xiaoying went to the bathroom, closed the door, and burst into tears.

Chen Lin in the chain repair room slowly opened his eyes. Listening to the crying sounds coming from the bathroom, Chen Lin stared at the moonstone on the ceiling with empty eyes for a long time.

Luo Mingyi then went straight back to his residence and entered the space.

The time ratio between this space and the outside world is three to one, so she is naturally seizing every moment to repair the chain.

Nothing happened that night. Luo Mingyi practiced the chain until 3:15 on the next day. Then he flashed out of the space and went to Huanlang Square to participate in the third round of the alchemy competition.

By the time she arrived at the alchemy competition area, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Senior Sister Chen, the blue-robed female cultivator, was still standing in the front row, speaking to the 150 disciples who were participating in this competition.

"Today is the third round of the alchemy competition. Today we are going to refine the Qi Gathering Pill. There are three spiritual herbs in total for refining the Qi Gathering Pill. As long as you can successfully refine one furnace, you will pass the level! Just like the previous round, the additional points will be calculated based on the number of successful furnaces and the quality of the pill."

"But in view of the differences in your respective cultivation levels, in order to be fair, in future alchemy competitions, you will all use earth fire to make elixirs. Okay, follow me!"

After Senior Sister Chen finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward.

Luo Mingyi didn't expect that the pill he refined this time would be a Qi Gathering Pill. The Qi Gathering Pill is the most familiar kind of pill for her.

Ever since she learned how to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, she had to refine it for at least three days in a row almost every once in a while.

Luo Mingyi's current score has reached 170 points, ranking first. He Zhirou, who came in second, scored 80 points.

Luo Mingyi is the first with a huge gap. As long as she performs normally later on, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to get into the top ten. Therefore, she did not plan to use the Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame to refine the elixir this time, so as to avoid being surrounded by too many people and exposing the existence of the strange fire.

Senior Sister Chen and the other two blue-robed female practitioners brought the 150 people to a fire room.

During the competition, in order to be fair, each disciple participating in the competition will enter a separate room to compete. However, also for the sake of fairness, the door of the underground fire room is not closed.

There were two referees in charge of supervising the competition this time, both of them were cultivators in the Jindan stage. With a glance of his spiritual sense, he knew what each of them was doing. As a result, Luo Mingyi had no plans to use the Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame.

One of the female cultivators who had reached the Jindan stage was Zhenren Suxin, and the other one was a male cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage, but this was the first time Luo Mingyi had seen him.

Su Xin stepped forward and said to everyone, "Today is the third round of the outer sect alchemy competition. Everyone, the competition will begin now. The competition time is three hours!"

As soon as Master Su Xin finished speaking, the disciples below immediately went wild!

"Three portions of spiritual medicine, three hours, how can we refine them all! By this calculation, we need to refine a furnace of elixirs in one hour!"

"Yes, yes, this doesn't even include the time to process the elixir and check the underground fire!"

The man who had reached the Jindan stage next to Zhenren Suxin frowned, and flicked his hand. Suddenly, a strong wind blew over, accompanied by a cold snort.

"Humph! I've said it before, these outer disciples are shallow and ignorant. I don't know what Uncle Xuandan is thinking, to actually be willing to let outer disciples enter Danyan Peak!"

Everyone was afraid to speak, and the strong wind blew, and He Zhirou, who was already weak, suddenly couldn't stand steadily. Just when she was about to fall, Luo Mingyi's warm hand supported her behind her back.

"Senior Sister He, be careful!"

He Zhirou turned around and saw that it was Luo Mingyi who helped her, then she clasped her fists in gratitude.

This Jindan man had just lost his temper, and He Zhirou didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being targeted by him.

Luo Mingyi didn't care. After Master Suxin announced the start of the competition, she hurried into the underground fire room behind her.

Luo Mingyi walked into the underground fire room, took out the alchemy furnace and placed it on the underground fire. He began to check the underground fire skillfully, then opened the underground fire with ease and began to warm the furnace.

Then, she began to process the three spiritual medicines for refining the Qi Gathering Pills.

In fact, for Luo Mingyi now, if he uses the Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, it will take less than an hour to successfully refine a furnace of medium-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

But now, without the ease of using the strange fire, Luo Mingyi had to slow down the pace and operate bit by bit.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Mingyi finished sorting and cleaning the three spiritual medicines, and began to refine the first batch of Qi Gathering Pills.
