440: C440 Yu Qinglian

C440 Yu Qinglian

Hwa Zhuyin wasn't surprised by Jiang Lin's appearance.

However, she had deliberately concealed her true strength this time. It seemed like she was only at the Spiritual Infant Stage, so that others could relax their guard and win by surprise.

Because in every competition, most of the Alchemy Sect disciples would win the limelight.

Those who were close to the water tower would obtain the moon first. The disciples of the Alchemy Sect usually did not lack the supply of Pill. Hence, relatively speaking, the improvement in alchemy was also fast.

"We'll know when the competition begins." Hwa Zhuyin replied faintly, "We have finished reporting our names. It is time for us to leave."

They had come to register this time, not to show off.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Lin continued to ignore Lin Yue's existence. "We can be considered old friends. Let's drink some tea before leaving."

"No need..." Hwa Zhuyin was interrupted by a loud voice before she could finish her sentence.

"Aiyo, isn't this Junior Sister Hua? Why is she here to register for the competition?" A seductive woman dressed in red slowly walked over. The two mountain peaks in front of her trembled as she walked.

"So it's Senior Sister Yu." Hwa Zhuyin said faintly.

This girl's name was Yu Qinglian, and she could be considered a genius alchemist of the Pill Sect. When she was a hundred years old, she had already entered the ranks of Tier 4 alchemists.

She had always liked Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin did not seem to like her.

"Hmph, I haven't seen you in all these years. Initially, I thought that you would have a huge improvement after entering the Lin City, but now it seems like it's not a big deal."

Yu Qinglian snorted lightly.

Hwa Zhuyin was not in the mood to waste words with her. She pulled Lin Yue and planned to leave.

"This must be the famous Lin Yue."

At this moment, Yu Qinglian intentionally blocked their path. She sized Lin Yue up and down, "He looks quite handsome and has a strong cultivation base. No wonder you would rather give up the Alchemy Sect to follow him."

"That's right. He is my husband, Lin Yue." Hwa Zhuyin said with a face full of happiness.

Jiang Lin's face turned cold. The reason why he chose to ignore Lin Yue was because he could no longer defeat him and did not want to talk to him.

The current Lin Yue had shaken the entire Daxuan Country. Even though he hated Lin Yue, he had to admit that Lin Yue's cultivation talent was heaven defying.

"This is really enviable."

Yu Qinglian said, "But I think it's better for you not to participate in the competition."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Hwa Zhuyin frowned.

"You came here to participate in the competition, just to humiliate yourself."

Yu Qinglian said with a smile.

She did not believe that a tiny Lin City could produce any good alchemist.

One. An excellent alchemist could only be produced by piling herbs.

One! For a second-grade sect to be able to produce a grade-4 alchemist was already considered pretty good.

"Is that so? Then you can just treat it as me bringing disgrace upon myself." Hwa Zhuyin was not the slightest bit angry.

After she had a relationship with Lin Yue, the strength of her mental strength had doubled, and she was confident that she could make a breakthrough before the competition.

She was already a high Grade Four Alchemist, and with her age, she could be proud of the world.

She pulled Lin Yue and was about to leave.

Jiang Lin looked at her back and clenched his fists.

"Senior brother, Hwa Zhuyin is not a virgin anymore. Why are you still thinking about it?"

Yu Qinglian came to Jiang Lin's side and said.

"What does it have to do with you?" Jiang Lin was too lazy to look at her. He turned around and left.

"Hmph!" Yu Qinglian snorted lightly, her face full of displeasure.

After Hwa Zhuyin and Lin Yue returned to Lin City, they plunged their heads into the alchemy room.

He had the many high grade spirit herbs provided by Lin Yue, which could greatly enhance the effectiveness of alchemy.

Now that her spiritual energy had become exceptionally strong, she was able to refine pills with ease.

There was still some time before the competition began, so she wanted to take advantage of these few days to make a breakthrough.

Hwa Zhuyin did not want Lin Yue to accompany her. Firstly, she knew that Lin Yue was in a hurry to find the Soul Earth. Secondly, with him here, she could not be at ease to refine the Soul Earth.

Lin Yue returned to the secret chamber and entered the Fiendgod Pagoda to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the alchemy competition.

Lin Yue accompanied Hwa Zhuyin to the Alchemy Sect.

The alchemists who participated in the competition took their wooden plates and went to the cauldron arranged according to the serial number.

There were a total of five hundred alchemists participating this time. All of them wanted to show off their skills in front of everyone.

"Everyone." At this moment, on the platform, an elder spoke with a clear voice.

Lin Yue didn't know this person. He should be an elder of the Pill Sect.

"Everyone, today is the alchemy grand ceremony that happens once every twenty years..."

The elder was long-winded for a quarter of an hour before he started to talk about the main point, "There are a total of five hundred outstanding alchemists participating this time. We will first carry out the first round. Everyone will refine a tier four Pill based on the spirit herbs provided."

If one could not even refine a tier 4 beginner Pill, they would definitely be eliminated.

The spirit herbs used in the competition were provided by the Alchemy Ancestor. The contestants were not allowed to use their own spirit herbs. Once they were discovered, they would be disqualified from the competition.

Every portion of the medicinal herbs had been carefully selected to ensure that the age and quality of each portion were the same. Only then would it be fair and just.

"I'll give you three breaths to inspect the Pill Cauldron." The elder said.

If someone had a problem with the Pill Cauldron, they could still exchange it before the competition.

If there was a problem in the middle, it was hard to say whether it was the contestant's problem or the quality of the Pill Cauldron.

Therefore, they had to first give them the time to check. If there was no problem, then the Pill Cauldron would either crack or explode in the middle. This was the reason why the contestant could not control the heat well.

Everyone checked and found that there were no problems.

"Since that's the case, the first round of the alchemy competition will begin!" That elder said.

Everyone ignited their flames and placed the herbs prepared beside the Pill Cauldron into the Pill Cauldron.

A ball of flame flew out from Hwa Zhuyin's finger and flew underneath the Pill Cauldron.

The herbs provided in the first round were all ordinary Fourth Class Elixir. It was very difficult to refine a middle-grade Tier 4 Pill.

She wrapped the spiritual herb with spiritual energy and threw it into the cauldron.

Then, she began to purify and refine it.

Lin Yue sat in the audience and saw that the Sect Master of the three great sects had arrived. Even the Ancestor, Xuan Tianye, had come. This was enough to show how influential this competition was.

Chan Xin glanced at Lin Yue and retracted his gaze.

Although he suspected that Lin Yue had stolen the Nine-colored Lotus Flower, without any evidence, he couldn't make a move.

Of course, Lin Tian came back and told him that Lin Yue was still in closed door cultivation when the Nine-colored Lotus Flower was stolen. Moreover, he had been in closed door cultivation for a month, so he didn't have the time to commit the crime.

Chan Xin didn't completely believe the result of his investigation. It wasn't because he was afraid that Lin Tian would lie to him, but because he was afraid that someone would lie to Lin Tian.

The Nine-colored Lotus Flower was the ultimate treasure of the Zen Sect. It was different from an offensive weapon. As the saying goes, a flower can create a world. Observing the Nine-colored Lotus Flower could improve one's Buddha nature, increase one's affinity with Buddha, and increase one's mental strength.

To the people of Buddhism, it was absolutely a supreme treasure.

Even if they were not people of Buddhism, when they looked at the Nine-colored Lotus Flower often, they would feel relaxed, and their mental strength would unknowingly increase.

No matter what, they had to find a way to get the Nine-colored Lotus Flower back.

Bang!

At this moment, a loud explosion could be heard. A disciple's face was filled with disappointment, and the Pill Cauldron in front of him exploded, failing to concoct the pill.

The disciple lowered his head and left the place in disappointment.

Those who came to participate in the alchemist competition were usually capable. However, among these five hundred people, a considerable number of them were unable to reach the level of a tier four alchemist.

Many people would probably be eliminated in the first round.

As expected, many people left the arena one after another. Some went to the audience seats to continue watching, while others left.

Hwa Zhuyin had already closed the lid of the furnace and looked relaxed.

Yu Qinglian was not far from her and was also very relaxed.

In the next two hours, there were already a hundred people who failed to concoct the pill.

"I have finished refining." At this moment, a crisp voice of a little girl rang out.

Lin Yue looked over. This little girl looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Her round face was very cute.

...

No one would have thought that she would be the first to complete it.

She wrapped a Pill with spiritual energy in her hand and handed it over to the judges.

After that, Jiang Lin, Hwa Zhuyin, Yu Qinglian and the others also handed over their Pill.

"Little sister, what you refined is only a low grade Tier 4 Pill."

Yu Qinglian said, "Your strength is not bad. Why didn't you refine a middle-grade Tier 4 Pill?"2

"It's just the first round. It's fine as long as it passes. Why are you so serious?" The little girl twitched her mouth and took out a lollipop to eat.

... ""

Yu Qinglian was speechless for a moment. When the competition began, she subconsciously wanted to give it her all.

For example, in this first round, the elixir provided by the Alchemy Ancestor could be refined into a middle-grade Tier 4 Pill. Then, she would work hard towards this goal.

If she only refined a low-grade Tier 4 Pill, she was confident that her speed would be faster than the little girl.

"This little girl is interesting." Lin Yue smiled.

Most people had the same thought as Yu Qinglian. However, the first round had clearly stated that one only needed to refine a tier four Pill to enter the next round. However, there was no further restriction on the tier of the tier four Pill.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

Yu Qinglian asked.

"Doudou." The little girl said.

"Doudou? Your name isn't immortal at all. The person who named you is quite funny."

Yu Qinglian said.

Almost no one present knew this little girl, but at such a young age, she was already a Tier 4 alchemist. It was extremely rare.

It was just that her cultivation level was a little lacking. She had just entered the Star-treading Stage, so her mental energy and cultivation level were severely imbalanced.

At this moment, more and more people were handing over their Pill.

Those who successfully refined a grade four Pill would pass the first round.

In this round, a total of 200 people were eliminated. The remaining 300 people entered the second round.

Among the eliminated disciples, there were some who performed relatively well and were valued by some small sects, so they discussed the remuneration.

After all, for some sects, a tier 3 alchemist was enough.

Therefore, there were some things that they should try. They might not succeed, but there might be other gains.

The ingredients provided by the second round of the Pill Alchemy were high-grade Tier 4 spirit herbs. As long as they could refine a high-grade Tier 4 Pill, they would be able to enter the next round.

The three hundred apothecaries began to put in their spirit once again and began refining pills again.
