m just lazy and think changing clothes is too much trouble.”Tian Ruyi didn't say much more, raised her glass and said, "Today our two families have successfully signed the agreement. To our successful...Looking at the results on the light curtain, the entire Heavenly Saint City erupted in excitement.
The Ten Crowns Grand King Chu Jiuyu could distinguish one hundred kinds of herbs. This was undoubtedly something everyone had expected.
Including the Alchemist Union's first-genius Hua Qiqi and the core alchemists cultivated by the Five Great Sects, it was within everyone's expectations for them to achieve such results.
The two names that suddenly popped up were extremely eye-catching: Mu Ji and Ye Bufan.
According to the information, one of them is a tenth-rank Immortal Dan master, and the other is only an eighth-rank.
If ranked by alchemist level, they would definitely be outside the top thousand. Yet, these two somehow topped the list, perfectly identifying a hundred kinds of spirit herbs.
And among them, the most frustrated was Bai Caomen's Yin Tong. Although he had stepped into the twelfth-order Immortal Dan Master, his overall accomplishment was still a little bit short. In the end, he could identify ninety-nine kinds of herbs.
After discovering his own mistake, he quickly glanced at Xia Qingying and found that the other party was also ninety-nine percent. His heart finally settled a little.
When he looked up at the leaderboard, he was shocked to find that Ye Bufan was ahead of him.
He had only ever seen Xia Qingying as his rival, not taking a level eight Immortal Alchemist seriously at all.
To my surprise, this very person actually identified a hundred kinds of fairy herbs, even better than I did.
Although he only viewed Xia Qingying as his opponent, the wager involved two entire sects. This meant that if Ye Bufan won, he would effectively win the entire bet.
"What a coincidence! It must be pure coincidence that he happens to know about all one hundred kinds of fairy herbs!"
Yin Tong quickly found himself an answer. Luckily, according to the competition rules read out previously, the first and second rounds were only for elimination and wouldn't count towards the final score.
"Kid, you got lucky this time. See how you fare next round!"
He glared fiercely at the other party, waiting for the next round of assessments to redeem himself.
While Ye Bufan didn't even glance at Yin Tong, his attention was fixed on the Danwang Tower. He found this to be a good thing; competing here would ensure fairness and justice.
And the referees on stage, for the most part, are more symbolic than anything else. Unless there's a particular situation, they don't really need to intervene.
As the chief referee, Zhuge Qingyang's main responsibilities are to organize the competition and announce the results.
Okay, the first round is over, and as you can see, the results are in. Now, let's move on to the second round.
The top 100 alchemists we have left are all elites in the alchemy world, but everyone should remain unarrogant in victory and undeterred in defeat. This round's results are over, and they will not be included in the final score...
After some formal remarks, the second round of assessments began. The content was relatively simple: using the one hundred kinds of Xianlingcao identified in the previous round, candidates were required to independently formulate a prescription and refine it into pills.
The final judging will be based on the ranking of the pill refinement levels, with the top fifty advancing. The rest will be eliminated.
And there is a time limit. It must be completed within two hours. If the finished elixir is not produced within two hours, it will be eliminated.
"Now everyone enters the second floor of the Dan Wang Tower, the competition begins."
As soon as Zhuge Qingyang finished speaking, everyone stepped into the second floor of Danwang Tower.
At this moment, at each of the one hundred designated locations, a furnace and a hundred varieties of immortal spirit grasses appear, available for everyone to take.
Inside the arena, it was deathly quiet. Outside, however, there was a cacophony of voices, buzzing with discussion and debate.
The second round of assessments looks simple, but it's actually very difficult.
Normally, refining a kind of elixir requires twenty to thirty materials, but it corresponds to an endless supply of immortal spirit herbs.
And now, the available resources are limited, with only a hundred kinds of Xianling grass. To refine a single elixir, one needs an incredibly rich collection of dan formulas in their mind, otherwise it's simply impossible.
Of course, some talented alchemists can, through their comprehension of the Dao of Alchemy, concoct a brand new elixir on their own.
But such an attempt carries a huge risk, and now is the elimination stage. Once it fails, it will be completely out of the game, and very few people will use this method.
Ye Bufan chose a location, but he didn't immediately take action.
Traditional Chinese medicine stores a vast number of prescriptions, and with these one hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, it is easy to compose various grades of elixir.
But the issue now is that he's only just absorbed a small portion of the Cognification Fruit he ingested before.
Normal spiritual power reached the peak of Immortal Venerable, wanting to break through this bottleneck and enter the realm of Immortal Emperor requires a certain amount of time.
Even though he is now a chaotic entity, it would still take several hours, and that's under the condition of full concentration.
But now that the Dan King competition has begun, it is difficult for him to focus. In most cases, he is trying to do two things at once, which further lengthens the time it takes to absorb and refine.
It's very simple to refine a furnace of pills, but it ultimately requires splitting off a portion of one's spiritual power. To focus on two things at once is something he doesn't desire.
After all, what's being done now is mostly about eliminating some parts, and it doesn't require much mental strength.
It remains to be seen how difficult the later stages will be, but we must make haste and absorb the Condensed God Fruit, increasing our spiritual power to the level of an Immortal Emperor as soon as possible. Only then can we refine the twelfth-order Immortal Pill.
And Zhuge Qingyang also said that the results of the two rounds wouldn't count towards the final score, so he didn't need to strive for a high ranking. As long as he entered the top fifty, it would be fine.
So he didn't even touch the Xianling Grass and the alchemy furnace, but simply sat cross-legged there, grasping the opportunity to absorb the Ning Shen Fruit.
Others, however, were unaware of this. To them, he simply appeared to be struggling to find a suitable elixir formula from among the one hundred kinds of spirit herbs, deep in thought.
Yin Tong pondered for a moment, and soon had a result. He began to take the fairy spirit grass one by one and throw it into the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir.
He glanced at Ye Bufan, who was sitting there not far away. The man sat rigidly, doing nothing, as if he were petrified. A smirk curled up the corner of his mouth.
It seems I was right all along. The other party's ability to identify a hundred kinds of fairy herbs before was purely based on luck.
Now I'm completely dumbfounded, unable to refine any pills at all. In the end, I could only be kicked out of the competition.
Convinced that the opponent was no match for him, he ceased paying them any mind and devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining pills.
Meanwhile, many people have already begun their own refining.
For example, Crown Prince Chu Jiu Yu with his mastery of alchemy, the moment Zhuge Qing Yang announced the rules, he had already formulated a suitable elixir formula in his mind, without needing to think about it.
And his speed of alchemy was also extremely fast. Though it looked slow and deliberate, it was like flowing water, seamless and smooth. After just a quarter of an hour, a rich aroma of elixir began to waft into the air.
With a shout, he struck out his hand and seized the furnace. Nine pills flew out of the crucible and landed directly in the nearby assessment formation.
I have to say, the speed of this Danwang Pagoda's review is incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the results appeared on the light curtain above our heads.
Chu Jiuyu refined a ten-tiered immortal pill, producing nine pills, all of which were top grade.
Normally, a tenth-rank Immortal Dan wouldn't be considered particularly high in rank. However, assembling the formula within these limited resources is extremely rare and precious.
"As expected of the Ten Crowns King, you are truly amazing..."
“Need to compare I think this Dan King throne definitely belongs to Senior Chu…”
At the sight of this result, both inside and outside the arena, everyone was in an uproar.
