CHAPTER 56
Let the competition begin.
On the Beiyun Academy's plaza, there was a sea of people. Several thousand academy teachers and students had completely surrounded the plaza.
The square had already been divided into different areas.
One arena, two alchemy furnaces, and two crafting furnaces.
After all, the three competitions were for Mu Yun to be promoted to an intermediate teacher. It was related to Mu Yun's promotion, so the academy had already made arrangements for it.
The promotion of a junior instructor to an intermediate instructor had actually caused such a huge commotion. This was something that the academy hadn't expected.
However, a large part of the reason why everyone came was to see what kind of monster Mu Yun was that she dared to challenge Teacher Mu of Senior Class Three.
"Xian Yu, I've been investigating your Mentor Mu these days, but I can't figure out what's so great about that trash!"
Miao Xianyu, who was wearing a purple short skirt, was standing in the crowd.
Beside her, a young man kept saying, "The Senior Class Three led by Diao Yadong seems to be second only to the Wang family's Wang Qingfeng's class in the entire academy. Mu Yun is an idiot for doing this!"
"Shao Yu, can you shut your mouth?"
Miao Xianyu couldn't help but say, "Instructor Mu is my instructor. Please be more polite when you speak to him!"
Shao Yu was in the top ten of the Saint Pill Sect's outer disciples, and he was in the seventh stage of the Condensed Prime Realm.
Moreover, he was only sixteen years old. He wondered how much stronger he was compared to that Mu Yun. Unexpectedly, Miao Xianyu actually contradicted him in public!
"Hehe, Xian Yu, I know that you can definitely defeat Wang Yunqi. However, I heard that one of the other two is a hedonistic son and the other is a poor son. How can they be a match for the geniuses of your Beiyun City!"
Shao Yu said mockingly, "Although those two geniuses are just trash in my eyes!"
Miao Xianyu could not help but frown when she heard Shao Yu's words.
"Teacher Mu!"
Seeing Mu Yun, Qin Mengyao, and the others in the crowd, Miao Xianyu jogged over, leaving Shao Yu alone on the spot, muttering to himself.
Seeing Miao Xianyu's enthusiasm towards Mu Yun, Shao Yu gritted his teeth.
"You piece of trash, the Immortal Whisper is mine. If you dare to touch it, I'll kill you!" Shao Yu exhaled, adjusted his expression, and followed.
The reason why he came this time was because he wanted to see how badly Mu Yun, this "famous" person in Beiyun City, would lose!
At this moment, there was a large empty space in the middle of the square. Miao Xianyu, Qi Ming and Moyang followed closely behind Mu Yun.
On the other side, behind Diao Yadong, Diao Yayun, Wang Yunqi, and Qi Yun stood in a row.
Seeing Mu Yun, Diao Yadong chuckled and said, "No wonder. No wonder Instructor Mu is so confident. It turns out that you are relying on Instructor Qin. Instructor Mu is really good at living off a woman!"
"Haha … Thank you, thank you!"
Mu Yun laughed and said indifferently, "Living off a woman is also a skill. I'm afraid that even if Instructor Diao wants to, he doesn't have the ability to do so!"
As she said that, Mu Yun glanced back at Qin Mengyao.
Qin Mengyao smiled faintly. His devastatingly beautiful smile immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"That's right. I think it's better to say that he's the most shameless person in the world instead of trash!"
"He will lose later. Didn't you see that Mo Hai didn't even go up and let Diao Yayun go up directly? Diao Yayun is one of the top three geniuses among our students. Moyang, that piece of trash, will die if he goes up! "
There was a flurry of discussion in the crowd.
The competition had yet to start, but the entire square was already in an uproar.
However, more people were waiting to see Mu Yun make a fool of herself.
Originally, she could have chosen an ordinary class to promote herself to an intermediate instructor, but now she insisted on choosing Senior Class Three.
Serves him right for finding trouble for himself!
At the edge of the square, a few figures stood on a tall stone platform.
The person in the lead was about twenty years old. His long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind. His handsome appearance occasionally attracted the attention of the surrounding female disciples.
"Instructor Wang, do you think Mu Yun can win this competition?"
A youth behind the young man asked.
"Once a piece of trash awakens, she will soar to the top. Nothing is certain. Qin Mengyao is not a fool. How can the person she likes be a piece of trash?"
Wang Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity that Diao Yadong is blinded by jealousy and can't see clearly!"
"Then according to Instructor, Mu Yun will win?"
A young girl behind Wang Qingfeng could not help but ask.
"If Mu Yun chose Junior Class Six or Junior Class Nine, she might win. However, she chose Senior Class Three!"
Wang Qingfeng said calmly, "If Diao Yayun goes up, Moyang can't win at all. Miao Xianyu and Yunqi are on par. Qi Yun is much stronger than Qi Ming. I can't guess what Mu Yun is trying to do!"
While the few of them were discussing, the competition on the square had already begun.
The first round, alchemy competition!
Miao Xianyu against Wang Yunqi.
"Miao Xianyu, everyone says that you and I are the two alchemy geniuses in Beiyun City. However, I think you are still inferior to me. If your grandfather wasn't the Pavilion Master of the Sacred Pill Pavilion, you and I would be worlds apart!"
Wang Yunqi was dressed in a long robe. She had a pretty face, but her words were tit-for-tat.
Both of them had displayed outstanding talent since they were young. In the path of alchemy, their reputations were illustrious, so they had always been compared by others.
Today, they would decide who was the real number one alchemy genius in Beiyun City!
"Don't be so full of yourself!" Miao Xianyu chuckled and said, "Today's battle is not to compete with you over who is the number one alchemy genius in Beiyun City, but for Mentor Mu!"
The competition had not yet begun, but the scene had already become hostile.
"For the alchemy competition, since you are all first-grade alchemy masters, the alchemy will be decided by the mentors by drawing lots. Whoever can successfully refine the pill first and the quality of the pill will be the winner!"
Following the referee's words, a figure slowly walked up to the competition stage.
Lu Xiaotian!
Seeing that figure, everyone present was stunned.
No one expected that Dean Lu would personally go up to the stage to draw lots for the first alchemy competition.
In that case, this competition would be absolutely fair!
In the entire Beiyun Academy, was there anyone more fair than Dean Lu?
"For the alchemy competition, the pill to be refined is the Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill!"
Following Lu Xiaotian's words, everyone present exclaimed.
The Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill was the best among first-grade pills. It was extremely beneficial for martial artists from the first to the fourth level of the physical body.
Moreover, after this pill was refined, the pill would be surrounded by seven orifices. It was lifelike and filled with fragrance.
However, although this pill was a first-grade pill, very few people could refine it to the point of seven orifices.
Ordinary first-grade alchemy masters could only refine three or four orifices. Only some second-grade alchemy masters could refine seven orifices perfectly.
When the seven orifices converged, this Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill was truly perfect.
And this pill was indeed very suitable to test the ability of a first-grade alchemy master!
"Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill …"
Hearing this name, Wang Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miao Xianyu, you will lose. A month ago, I was able to refine five orifices of the Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill. Now that I have merged with the beast fire, I can at least refine six orifices!"
Wang Yunqi said excitedly, "And you, it is impossible to refine seven orifices! Because only second-grade alchemy masters can do that, so this round, I, Wang Yunqi, will definitely win! "
Hearing Wang Yunqi's confident words, Miao Xianyu only smiled and did not explain anything.
Victory or defeat could only be determined at the final juncture.
"Now, the medicinal herbs needed to refine the pill have been prepared. The pill furnace is in good condition. As for the pill fire, the academy provided the pill fire of a fire-attribute demonic beast. If the students have their own beast fire, they can use it. The competition begins now!"
Following the referee instructor's voice, the entire square fell into silence.
When alchemy masters were refining pills, the most taboo thing was to be disturbed. Everyone knew this point.
The Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill required Exquisite Grass, Soothing Fruit, Iron Wire Wood, and the demonic core of a fourth-grade demonic beast, White Striped Tiger!
Among them, the Soothing Fruit was the most expensive. One Soothing Fruit was at least five thousand low-grade spirit stones.
When the competition began, Wang Yunqi and Miao Xianyu stepped onto the stage and stood in their respective positions.
Below the stage, everyone had already held their breaths.
There was only one exception, and that was Mu Yun!
At this moment, Mu Yun was lying lazily on an old-fashioned wooden armchair while Qin Mengyao stood beside him and massaged his back and shoulders. This scene made almost half of the people in the entire Beiyun Academy wish they could rush up and beat Mu Yun up.
However, seeing Mu Yun lying on the old-fashioned wooden armchair with his eyes half-closed, Qin Mengyao felt a pang of heartache.
Usually, when she saw Mu Yun, he had a carefree and elegant appearance. However, when she was really with Mu Yun, she realized that Mu Yun spent most of his time cultivating every day.
Yesterday, because he had comprehended a sword move, he only slept for a while in the morning.
On the stage, Wang Yunqi and Miao Xianyu acted almost at the same time. All kinds of medicinal herbs were thrown into the pill furnace in succession.
However, attentive people gradually discovered that the order and quantity of medicinal herbs that Miao Xianyu threw in were very different from Wang Yunqi's.
To be precise, it was very different from the current publicly recognized refining method of the Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill.
As everyone knew, to refine the Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill, the first thing one should do was to add the Iron Wire Wood into the pill furnace. Because the Iron Wire Wood was very tough, it was impossible to fuse it quickly.
However, Miao Xianyu did the opposite. She actually added the Soothing Fruit, which was the easiest to refine, into the pill furnace.
"What is Miao Xianyu doing!" Seeing this, Qi Ming couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"What do you know!"
Right at this moment, Mu Yun, who had been squinting, suddenly said, "The most important thing for the Seven Orifices Soothing Meridian Pill is to open up the seven orifices. How to do that? Naturally, it is to use medicinal aura to break through the pill!
"The Soothing Fruit is added first, turning into medicinal aura that surrounds the pill furnace. Then, the Iron Wire Wood is broken down, and the medicinal aura will contaminate the Iron Wire Wood. At the moment when the pill is successfully refined, it will break through the pill body and out of the orifices, from the outside to the inside!" Mu Yun explained carefully, "The normal refining method is to add the Iron Wire Wood first. The Soothing Fruit's medicinal aura is wrapped in the pill and out of the body!"
