Chapter 406 The mind turns
...
When everyone heard what King Feiyun said, he nodded in agreement. Indeed, King Feiyun just grasped this key point. Just imagine, if the pill recipe is provided by Yaolin, then this pill recipe must have been studied by Xie Zan before. In this way, regardless of whether Xie Zan has the strength of a level 4 alchemist, at least, it will lose fairness with Ou Chuyang, which also gives Yaolin a little more confidence in winning.
It has to be said that King Feiyun was still very considerate. This battle of elixir was said to be a match between Qingchen and Yaolin's disciples as mediators, but the most important thing was the orientation of the Lord of the Dan Hall. If the proposal was proposed by Qingchen, everyone would inevitably think that Qingchen was afraid of Yaolin. However, if this proposal was proposed by someone else, there would be no problem.
After hearing King Feiyun say that, Qingchen immediately turned his gaze to the high platform, the majestic and upright emperor, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
Turning around, Qingchen no longer cares whether Ou Chuyang could defeat the other party or not. He just said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty's proposal is very good. I want to see if your disciples in Yaolin really have such amazing talents."
A haze flew out from Yao Lin's face, but he cleverly covered it up and said with a smile: "I also think this proposal is good, it's good, just do what Your Majesty said."
Seeing Yao Lin agreeing, King Feiyun immediately ordered Xu Zhen beside him: "Xu Aiqing, are there any good elixir recipes?"
When Xu Zhen heard this, he bent up. As his fingertips danced, a ray of light flashed instantly. Then, a scroll with a little green light suddenly appeared in his palm.
Xu Zhen said: "Your Majesty."
King Feiyun nodded and took Xu Zhen over the pill recipe. After taking a faint look, he said to the head of the four major families below: "Four dear ministers, you still need to find out if you are working hard."
Although the heads of the four major families do not hold any official positions in the empire, they have always been granted honorary official positions by the empire because they control more than half of the powerful people in the empire. Although such official positions do not have any real power, their status is still very high.
At this moment, when they heard King Feiyun's orders, the four of them did not dare to be negligent. They walked slowly to the platform, took the pill formula into their hands, and carefully identified it.
After a while, the four of them whispered and nodded at the same time. Then Gongsun Yang announced loudly: "This is indeed a level 4 pill recipe, and it is a medium-grade one."
Although the leaders of the four major families do not have the ability of alchemists, with their outstanding martial arts strength, they can naturally distinguish the authenticity of the alchemy recipe.
"It's time to start now." After being identified by the four, King Feiyun nodded, waved his hand and announced the start of the game directly.
Qingchen walked to Ou Chuyang, looked at the latter with a deep eye, and said, "Ou Chuyang, now I don't ask you for anything, I can do my best. Alas~" sighed, and Qingchen walked straight to the stands and sat in his position.
Looking at Qingchen's disappointment and loneliness, Ou Chuyang realized that the old man who had been cunningly dealing with him was not his character at all, but now he is probably the true character of this old man.
"If you lose, don't blame me?" Ou Chuyang clearly felt the helplessness in Qingchen's tone.
"Hu~" He let out a lot of breath, Ou Chuyang abandoned Qingchen's previous performance, and then looked at the handsome and handsome Xie Zan with a gaze.
As if he felt Ou Chuyang's eyes, Xie Zan also looked at him, but the dark eyes did not have any sign of paying attention to Ou Chuyang, but instead showed a look of disdain.
The short-term eye clash was evenly matched. Then, today, both of them, as the most dazzling existence, walked slowly onto the temporary fighting elixir ring.
As the two walked onto the ring, countless hot gazes shot towards the two of them at the same time. At the same time, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly sounded, and the roar of excitement filled with extremely passionate turned into an invisible column of energy sound, which rushed straight into the sky.
"The first round of competition, the level of pills is limited: level 2, time limit: one hour. Now, start."
On the ring, Ou Chuyang and Xie Zan had just stood still, and an old man who was hosting the game immediately announced the start of the game.
With the old man's loud announcement, the thunderous applause on the stage suddenly resounded, and of course, the cheers and shouts were indispensable.
Originally, Dantang, as the local industry of the Feiyun Empire, was challenged by outsiders, and it was normal to receive support from insiders. This is beyond doubt. However, what is unexpected is that when Ou Chuyang and Xie Zan came on the stage, most of the cheerful cheering sounds were given to Xie Zan, who looked handsome, and the sharp roars came from countless idiot girls in the audience. As for Ou Chuyang, the few gains were relatively small.
Beautiful women love heroes, which is an eternal theorem. Perhaps it is because of Xie Zan's outstanding appearance. At this moment, the atmosphere on site also verifies this truth.
Feeling the lively atmosphere on the scene, on the high platform, the majestic Feiyun Empire changed its face again and again. It can be seen that even he, who has always been calm, does not want to see this kind of scene of turning his elbows outward.
Ou Chuyangdu, who was in the middle of the ring, couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene. Obviously, he had unexpectedly expected such a scene and thought to himself: "What kind of people are these people, they have no patriotic enthusiasm. If this were in the revolutionary era, they would be enough to be shot."
"Ou Chuyang. Come on, come on~" As his eyes narrowed, suddenly several extremely faint sounds of cheering came into Ou Chuyang's ears.
Looking in the sound, not far away, an old figure appeared in the crowd with dozens of familiar figures. When he saw this group of people, Ou Chuyang's slightly frown suddenly unfolded.
Ou Chuyang saw Chu Jiangzhuo's figure suddenly appeared in the crowd. Behind him were the students of the eight major families. Looking at the dozens of looking figures, Ou Chuyang immediately recognized the faint voice before, which turned out to be from the former's mouth.
"They are here too?" Ou Chuyang smiled slightly and murmured.
On the stage, Xie Zan raised his chin slightly, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the cheers coming to him from the stage with great pleasure. After a moment, he opened his eyes and a look of pride appeared on his cheeks.
Looking at Ou Chuyang, Xie Zan smiled and said, "It's so sad. Although you are fighting for Dantang, the people of your Feiyun Empire still like me, the strongest man. Don't worry, I will not let their expectations down. In a while, I will let you down."
Hearing Xie Zan's arrogant words, Ou Chuyang could feel the challenge and disdain contained in it, and said calmly: "The competition has not started yet, you are talking a little too early."
"Haha. A stubborn guy." Xie Zan curled his lips, then looked at Ou Chuyang's cuff and said contemptuously: "Second-level alchemist, I have to say, you are very outstanding, but that was when I didn't show up. Oh~, I really don't know how your teacher taught you? The teacher is from the same school, so the difference is a bit big."
After hearing Xie Zan's words, Ou Chuyang was unmoved at all, but he still said in his indifferent language: "I don't know how your teacher taught you? There is so much nonsense."
When Xie Zan heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, and then said viciously: "Boy with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, you will know what it means to have heaven beyond heaven and there are people outside." Xie Zan said, waved his sleeves, and in the blink of an eye, a black furnace cauldron appeared in front of everyone.
Unwilling to have more quarrels with Xie Zan anymore, Ou Chuyang ignored it. In front of everyone, the former took a small step back and distanced himself from Xie Zan. Then, Ou Chuyang gently wiped his ethereal ring with his fingers, and then under the reflection of a dazzling light, an extremely ancient copper tripod stood on the stage.
Medicine King Cauldron. Although this furnace cauldron with powerful effects has not been with Ou Chuyang for too long, the help it gave Ou Chuyang was undoubtedly huge, because in this furnace cauldron, Ou Chuyang had refined hundreds of elixirs, and among these hundreds of elixirs, the highest was to reach level three.
The appearance of the Medicine King Cauldron immediately attracted a burst of exclamations, and the people who made these calls were all those alchemy cultivators who had European names for alchemy refining.
"This kid is extraordinary. This tripod looks like a good thing. I just don't know how powerful it is?"
"Didn't you see that he is a second-level alchemist? But compared to Xie Zan, I'm afraid he's still worse. After all, the teacher has proposed to get the fourth-level alchemist."
Countless people nodded, and those who followed Ou Chuyang also showed concern.
"The Medicine King Ding?"
When this tripod appeared, Qingchen and Yaolin were both shocked. Perhaps many people didn’t know this tripod, but as powerful alchemy practitioners, they were very familiar with it, because this tripod was famous even on the mainland.
Although there is no level difference between cauldrons that are well-known to alchemy practitioners, it is said that there are eight famous cauldrons on the mainland, and the Medicine King Cauldron in front of them is listed here. Not only that, this cauldron is also the sixth-ranked cauldron.
Not only Qing Chen and Yao Lin were familiar with the Medicine King Ding, but Xie Zan, who was on the stage, mentioned it from his teacher. This time, he saw the strange patterns on the furnace tripod with his own eyes, and the latter immediately recognized the tripod. However, Xie Zan was not surprised by this, but he still looked at Ou Chuyang with such contemptuous eyes and said, "So what if there is Medicine King Ding, you are just a fledgling boy. Let's see the truth under your hands."
"Tianji." Ou Chuyang said contemptuously, and then several different medicinal materials were taken out and put into the Medicine King Cauldron at the same time.
Then, a purple aura of Ou Chuyang suddenly erupted with Ou Chuyang's activation. Under countless gazes, Ou Chuyang pressed his palm on the cauldron.
With a "teng", the purple fire ignited.
Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't speak, Xie Zan was silent. The same one as Ou Chuyang, who also took out several medicinal herbs and threw them into the furnace. Then, a red flame filled with the same heat emerged at the same time.
The appearance of two fiery lights, one purple and one red, announced the official start of this fierce battle competition.
Two almost identical heats quietly spread, and with the emergence of these two heat flows, everyone felt the temperature in the air rise suddenly. Although it was winter, perhaps due to the influence of these two heat flows, the crowds on the square suddenly felt much warmer.
Looking at the flames representing energy of different attributes, everyone in the stands showed solemn expressions. As powerful martial arts practitioners, they could feel the terror of these two heats more than the onlookers in the audience.
"What a strong energy." For a moment, he was stunned and a look of surprise appeared on everyone's cheeks.
In the audience, Yang and Liu did not walk to the stands, but stood in a place with the Dantang people who came to watch the battle and cheer. After they saw Ou Chuyang and Xie Zan start to refine alchemy, they looked at each other in surprise. Obviously, they had recognized that the two of them on the stage were refining pills.
"Ou Chuyang refines Juyuan Dan. Well, this elixir is of the best grade, and his technique is also very proficient. Obviously, he has refines this elixir a lot. If nothing unexpected happens, the Juyuan Dan refined by Ou Chuyang must have a very good quality." Liu Changfeng analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chenglin nodded in agreement, but the two old men did not show any joy because of the pills refined by Ou Chuyang. The reason for this was that they saw Xie Zan's situation.
"Purifying Yuan Dan." Yang Chenglin sighed. Judging from his performance, it was obvious that the elixirs refined by Xie Zan were much better than Ou Chuyang.
"The second-level top quality is not much inferior to the third-level pills. It seems that Ou Chuyang will lose this time." Liu Changfeng sighed. He knew that with Ou Chuyang's cultivation time, there would definitely be no good pill recipe, and this Juyuan Pill was obtained by the first to help Qiu Na. I think this is the best pill recipe that Ou Chuyang can come up with. Otherwise, this kid would not have asked him to take him into the Dantang Pavilion again and again.
"He has talent, but what he lacks now is experience." Liu Changfeng guessed.
In the stands, Qing Chen saw this naturally, and then the former lowered his head with disappointment, secretly regretting why he didn't use some good pill recipes to refine for Ou Chuyang. Judging from the current situation, only in this first round of the game can Ou Chuyang have a certain winning rate. But now, if no accidents happen, which lead to Xie Zan's failure in refining, as long as both of them successfully refine, Ou Chuyang will definitely lose.
As my mind went on, the fire on the ring had soared to a high level. Under such refining, some people with advanced cultivation could naturally feel that the pills in the cauldrons of both sides had gradually taken shape. Needless to think, this first round of competition will soon have a result.
As the purple fire climbed, Ou Chuyang focused his attention, and his mental perception found that the medicine liquid was condensed. As his palm turned slightly, Ou Chuyang gradually began to restrain the release of his internal energy. After a moment, Ou Chuyang shouted: "Come on."
He hit it out with a palm and fell heavily on the Medicine King Cauldron. Then an orange pill was sprayed out from the Medicine King Cauldron. Ou Chuyang copied it casually and the Juyuan Pill fell into his hands.
Similar to Ou Chuyang, the former was just successfully refined, and Xie Zan's refining came to an end. Seeing that the latter's palm was stronger than the orange light blooming from his own Juyuan Pill, Ou Chuyang couldn't help but feel disappointed. It seemed that he had too few pill recipes. He took out any one of them, which was the best second-level pill. People were simply angry compared to others.
