Qin Di knew that a long time ago, the Four Divine Sect would hold a Grand Ceremony every thousand years. Later, the effects of each Grand Ceremony became worse and the smallpox fell less and less, so they had no choice but to postpone it to three thousand years. Presumably, this was also what Ancestor Liu Huayang wanted.
Before the Grand Ceremony, the sect would hold a grand competition to decide who could ascend the altar and who would be the Officiant. Anyone who could ascend the altar would obtain greater benefits, and the Officiant would naturally benefit more!
As long as one was a disciple of the Four Divine Sect, one could sign up to participate in the Pill Refining, Talisman Formation and Talisman Formation competition. The first place would get one point, the 100 would get 100 points, the 1,000 would get 1,000 points, and the 1,000 would get 1,000 points. The last four results would be added together, and the one with the least points would be the first place! The Millennium Ceremony would be presided over by him!
After the four results were added together, the top 60 could ascend the altar!
In addition, the top 10 with the best results could also ascend the altar!
In the end, only one Officiant would be able to ascend the altar. Together with the top 100 cultivators, a total of 101 people would be able to ascend the altar. The rest of the people, even if they were the four Sect Leaders or Earthly Immortal Ancestors, had to participate in the competition. Those who ranked lower could not ascend the altar and could only stand below the stage.
However, even if they stood below the stage, there was a problem of distance. The closer the distance, the more benefits they would obtain. If the distance was too far, when the smallpox fell, the amount of smallpox obtained would be very limited!
After Qin Di received the news, he thought for a long time, but he could not help Miao Yunjuan and the others to ascend the altar. Because they only knew alchemy, and they might not be able to enter the top 10. There were many alchemy experts in the Golden Core Sect, such as the Earthly Immortal Zhu Xianren and the two Earthly Immortals who were cultivating on the spiritual mountain, there were three! The Golden Core Sect Leader, Jin Shengying, was not a weakling! Therefore, not to mention Miao Yunjuan, even Lan Xingshang might not be able to enter the top 10 in alchemy. Wu Mei 'er and Jiang Yunmu's chances were even slimmer.
There was still hope for Qin Di's disciples, because Shen Yunyi, Fan Yao, and Long Jin 'er had all learned two of the four arts from Qin Di, so they weren't completely clueless about the other two. Being influenced by what they saw and heard, they would definitely learn something.
Qin Di called the three of them over. After cramming for three months, it could be considered as sharpening a spear at the last minute.
There were too many disciples in the Four Divine Sect. Not everyone could participate in such a large-scale competition.
Fortunately, the Four Divine Sects already had similar experiences and had formed a series of rules and regulations.
To sign up, one had to pass a simple test.
For example, in the alchemy test, one must first refine a Golden Core Stage Spirit Pill in front of the examiner before they could participate in the competition.
Seeing that there was a chance to go up the altar to worship, Qin Di did not dare to hide his strength. He decided to sign up!
The entire test process was completely open to the public!
A hundred miles southwest of the Immortal Mist Peak, there was a Rejuvenation Valley. It was said that it was the place where Ancestral Master Liu Huayang had cultivated a long time ago. There was an altar in the valley, and there was a huge plaza in the north, south, east, and west. It was originally used for people to stand when offering sacrifices to the heavens, but now it was used as a testing ground.
On the east side of the altar was a row of 300 pill furnaces! On the west side was a row of 300 crafting furnaces! On the south and north side was a row of tables, and there were all kinds of testing supplies, such as talisman paper, beast blood, materials for refining arrays, and so on.
On this day, the Golden Core Sect Leader, Jin Shengying, was patrolling the testing grounds when he suddenly noticed that Qin Di had brought a group of people over!
He hurriedly went up to greet him, "Qin Shidi, your Nhat Hanh has more than 20 people. Are they all going to take the alchemy test?"
Qin Di smiled slightly, "That's right, including myself!"
Jin Shengying's eyes lit up, "Qin Shidi has also started learning alchemy? Not bad, not bad! This is also a blessing for our Four Divine Sect! However, you've only just started, so it's okay if you can't pass! "
Qin Di knew that he meant well, but when he turned around, he saw several Dao Integration Stage and Void Step cultivators in charge of invigilating the test were all giggling, so he asked, "What? Do you think I can't pass, Senior Brother Jin? "
Jin Shengying hurriedly said, "I know that Qin Shidi is talented and will also make rapid progress in pill refinement. However, pill refinement is a serious subject after all, and you can't be careless or careless. There's no way you can become a pill refinement grandmaster in just a few months, otherwise … cough cough … those people who laugh at you will have lived in vain! "
A Void Step cultivator laughed heartily, "Uncle-Master Qin, everyone knows that you're a cultivation prodigy. Even if you can't pass the pill refinement test, no one will dare to laugh at you!"
Another Dao Integration Stage cultivator smiled, "That's right. We Perfected Cultivators only need to have our own expertise. Who can be proficient in everything? "
"We only have respect for Uncle-Master Qin, we don't dare to laugh at you!"
"Senior Brother Qin, thank you for buying spirit herbs and hiring people to refine Dao Pills. I'm the champion of the competition fifty years ago, and I've just advanced to Dao Integration Stage. I want to thank you! If anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll be the first to deal with them! "
As they spoke, many people gathered around them, and the number of onlookers increased!
Most of these people were just there to watch the show, but there were also people who were mocking Qin Di in their hearts, wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
After a while, there were three hundred examinees present, and Jin Shengying gave the order to start the pill refinement test!
The spirit herbs needed for pill refinement were placed in the cabinets on the side, and if they needed anything, they could go and pick it themselves.
Seeing that everyone had stood up to pick spirit herbs, and those who were faster had already started pill refinement, Qin Di still sat there without moving. Jin Shengying could not help but sigh softly, and he thought to himself, After all, Qin Shidi has just started learning, so it's normal for him to be confused for a while.
Many people were whispering to each other, "Why hasn't Uncle-Master Qin started yet? Everyone else has already started pill refinement! "
"Hehe, don't you know? Perfected Cultivator Qin doesn't know pill refinement at all! "
"Impossible! What's he doing here if he doesn't know pill refinement? I dare to bet with you that Uncle-Master Qin will definitely pass the test! "
"Haha, what do you want to bet? I'll bet with you! "
The whispers grew louder, and many people heard them. Countless eyes stared at Qin Di, wanting to see if he could refine elixirs.
After a while, when he saw that everyone had already started pill refinement, Qin Di stood up and went to pick spirit herbs alone.
The speed at which he picked spirit herbs was very fast, and after grabbing a handful, he came to the side of the furnace, opened the lid, and threw them in!
Countless pairs of eyes were dumbfounded! Laughter broke out from the surroundings!
"Haha, Uncle-Master Qin threw in all the spirit herbs at once!"
"Have you seen such a method of pill refinement before?"
"This is too unbelievable, even elixir refinement apprentices know the order!"
"Pill refinement is about the ruler, the subject, and the assistant. There's a hierarchy, and it's not thrown in all at once!"
