Time flew by. Soon, some of the faster alchemists finished refining their elixirs.
But at the same time, some alchemists made mistakes and failed directly.
Just like that, an hour later, everyone stopped refining at the same time, and the combat power stood aside.
At the same time, Alchemist Flying Sparrow shouted, "Let's start the elixir testing and determine the ranking."
Instantly, many alchemists above the God Realm on the high platform spread out their Divine Thoughts and covered the elixirs one by one.
Suddenly, everyone had a clear judgment of the number and grade of the elixirs refined by the alchemists below the platform.
"Ma Zhen of the Qingxu Sect has refined ten elixirs, seven of which are second-grade transcendent elixirs and three of which are advanced second-grade elixirs. He is ranked first. Does anyone have any objections?"
Soon, Perfected Cultivator Flying Sparrow's voice was heard.
Wan Zhen's face changed immediately and he looked very embarrassed.
However, the number and grade of the Spirit Awakening Elixirs refined by Ma Zhen were clearly placed on the table next to the elixir furnace. It could not be fake in front of so many third-grade and fourth-grade alchemists. Indeed, Ma Zhen was ranked higher than everyone present. Even if he was unwilling, he did not dare to refute.
To the side, Ascetic Zen and True Buddha Shi Ni couldn't help but look surprised.
They did not expect that someone from the Qingxu Sect, which had always been at the bottom of the Four Major Immortal Sects, would win the competition this time.
"Ma Zhen is the registered disciple of our Elder Bai. I remember that he was only a middle-grade second-grade alchemist half a year ago. I didn't expect him to improve so quickly."
Dongfang Ming, who was sitting next to Ziyue, said with emotion. He was grinning from ear to ear.
Everyone looked at Ziyue in surprise.
It was not a big deal for him to improve from a middle-grade second-grade alchemist to an advanced second-grade alchemist in half a year. Perhaps he was just on the verge of breaking through to the next level.
However, the fact that Yang Kai was able to refine a Transcendent Grade Second Spirit Pill in less than half a year after becoming a High Grade Second Alchemist was enough to shock everyone.
Especially when Dongfang Ming deliberately pointed out this point, the meaning was completely different.
If they remembered correctly, Ziyue had joined the Qingxu Sect not long ago. Less than a year?
If Ma Zhen's improvement was so obvious because of Ziyue … then they would have to re-evaluate Ziyue.
Ziyue's face was calm and he didn't say anything.
"Wu Qingfeng from the Qing Xu Sect, ten Dans, five Transcendent Grade 2 Dans, and five High Grade 2 Dans. He is second place, does anyone have any objections?"
Then, True Monarch Flying Sparrow spoke again.
This time, no one dared to raise any objections.
However, everyone could not help but mutter in their hearts. The Qing Xu Sect directly took the top two places. This was something that had never happened before.
Especially Wu Qingfeng, who was only wearing a mid-grade Second Grade Alchemist's robe, which was especially eye-catching among the crowd of high-grade Second Grade Alchemists.
This made the other people around him feel ashamed.
Especially Alchemist Wan Zhen from the Sound of Thunder Sect, he couldn't help blushing.
Previously, he had ridiculed Ziyue's Qing Xu Sect for sending out a mid-grade Second Grade Alchemist to participate in the elixir refining competition. In the end, this mid-grade Second Grade Alchemist he spoke of had surpassed all ten high-grade Second Grade Alchemists from the Sound of Thunder Sect …
It was as if an invisible palm had slapped him in the face, causing him to feel waves of pain.
"This Wu Qingfeng is also Elder Bai's in-name disciple. His improvement is much faster than Ma Zhen's.
Half a year ago, he was only a low-grade Second Grade Alchemist. When he participated in the competition this time, he actually had the strength of a high-grade Second Grade Alchemist. It's just that he didn't have time to participate in the assessment. "
Dongfang Ming spoke again in a timely manner.
Instantly, everyone's expression changed again.
If Ma Zhen's improvement could be said to be an accident, then with Wu Qingfeng's addition, it couldn't be an accident.
"Third place, Zuo Fang from the Qing Xu Sect."
After this announcement, countless people's expressions became very interesting.
Was there an end to this?
"Is Zuo Fang also Alchemist Bai's disciple?"
Alchemist Ascetic Zen couldn't help but ask.
"No, Zuo Fang is our Hall Master Dan Chen's nominal disciple.
However, his great improvement has something to do with our Elder Bai.
Perhaps all of you have heard that our Elder Bai once created a book called the 'Kunlun Pill Canon'. Regardless of whether it was Ma Zhen, Wu Qingfeng or Zuo Fang, all of them improved significantly because they cultivated Elder Bai's Kunlun Pill Canon. "
Dongfang Ming said proudly.
This time.
Dongfang Ming only felt one thing.
That was great!
Really great!
The previous oppression, the unwillingness to be humiliated, and the grievances he felt from being mocked and humiliated were all returned. He was so excited that he almost trembled all over.
Too great!
Dongfang Ming was very grateful.
He was grateful for Ziyue's appearance.
Because of him, the Pill Treasure Hall of the Qing Xu Sect could rise again and hold their heads high in front of the Four Major Immortal Sects and the other sects in the Cloud Piercing Mountain Range.
The other disciples of the Qingxu Sect were also proud of him.
"Fourth place, Gu Tiandu of the Qing Xu Sect."
This time, even True Lord Soaring Sparrow had a look of shock and helplessness on his face.
He was conflicted.
This time, the Qing Xu Sect had really soared to the sky.
The Four Major Immortal Sects, nine second-rate sects, and dozens of third-rate and fourth-rate sects had become the background of the Qing Xu Sect.
Fortunately, the fifth, sixth, and seventh places were not taken by the Qing Xu Sect. They were taken by the disciples of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, the Great Buddhist Sect, and a second-rate sect respectively. However, the eighth and ninth places were taken by the Qing Xu Sect, and the tenth place was taken by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
In other words, the Qing Xu Sect had taken six of the top ten grade-two alchemists in the Alchemy Conference.
However, the Sound of Thunder Sect, one of the Four Major Immortal Sects, did not have a single person in the top ten.
The only person with the highest ranking was the eleventh place.
However, it was embarrassing for the Sound of Thunder Sect to have no disciples in the top ten.
Alchemist Wan Zhen lowered his head, not daring to speak at all.
The more he mocked the Qing Xu Sect earlier, the more embarrassed he felt now.
Not only was the Sound of Thunder Sect at the bottom of the Four Major Immortal Sects, but they were also overtaken by a second-rate sect. He felt humiliated.
Alchemist Ku Chan looked at Alchemist Wan Zhen with pity. A hint of resentment flashed in his heart.
In fact, he had planned to ridicule the Clear Void Sect before, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he remembered that Bai Ziyue was also an Early Grade Four Alchemist. In the end, he had another layer of scruples and did not dare to say anything.
Due to this reason, he managed to save some face.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if Alchemist Wan Zhen behaved like this.
After the competition between the disciples ended, Alchemist Fei Que quickly opened his mouth to discuss some of his experiences in pill refinement.
Almost every third grade alchemist opened their mouths to discuss some of their own techniques, discoveries, pill theories, and other problems.
After the grade three alchemists, it was Alchemist Wan Zhen's turn.
"Previously, most of the alchemists discussed alchemy theories, alchemy techniques, alchemy techniques, alchemy formulas, and the ratio of materials.
Then, I'll use my fire control technique to explain.
Controlling fire is the most important and fundamental part of alchemy. Especially when refining high-grade spirit pills, if one's control of fire is insufficient, it will immediately affect the grade of the spirit pill.
Next, I'll … "
As he spoke, he demonstrated his fire control technique. It was truly superb. It was as if he was controlling his own arm. He vividly displayed his incomparably superb fire control technique.
The hundreds of grade two alchemists below and the surrounding cultivators were dazzled. They felt that they had learned a lot.
A moment later, Apothecary Wan Zhen retracted the flames and a confident smile appeared on his face once more. Gleefully, he said, "Flame control is the foundation of an apothecary. If one doesn't possess exquisite flame control techniques, no matter how skilled one is in pill forging or how skilled one is in pill forging, one's achievements will be limited.
An early grade four alchemist who can only refine a single grade four spirit pill cannot be compared to an alchemist who can refine any spirit pill into a high grade three spirit pill.
One is just an undeserved reputation, while the other is the real deal. "
As soon as he said this, Alchemist Fei Que, Alchemist Ku Chan, and the others' gazes fell on Ziyue.
They naturally knew that Alchemist Ma Zhen was targeting Ziyue.
They did not expect Alchemist Ma Zhen to still dare to provoke Ziyue after the previous incident.
However, after thinking about it carefully, they felt that there was nothing wrong with Alchemist Ma Zhen's words.
Ziyue's Celestial Technique Realm was only at the middle stage of the God Realm. No matter how talented he was in alchemy, in everyone's eyes, he was definitely a cultivator who specialized in one alchemy and quickly broke through to become an early grade four alchemist.
This was understandable. After all, an early grade four alchemist was an early grade four alchemist. No one could criticize him. However, he was indeed not as good as a high grade three alchemist who could refine a variety of spirit pills.
"You can only quibble like this."
Dongfang Ming said angrily.
"It's fine."
Ziyue waved his hand and smiled faintly. He stepped forward and said, "Alchemist Wan Zhen just demonstrated the way of controlling fire. Coincidentally, I also have some experience in controlling fire.
In that case, I'll use flame control to explain the use of alchemy. "
At the side, Alchemist Wan Zhen, who was still feeling smug, felt his heart skip a beat. His expression instantly became extremely cold.
A hint of shock could be seen in the eyes of the others.
Alchemist Wan Zhen's fire controlling skills were indeed top-notch among all the alchemists. He was not any weaker than a grade four alchemist like Alchemist Ku Chan.
Since Ziyue dared to stand up and explain the way of controlling fire in front of Alchemist Wan Zhen, this could only prove one thing.
That his fire controlling skills were definitely more brilliant and exquisite than Alchemist Wan Zhen's.
