"This Xuan Pill Competition is to select the pill dao geniuses of my Xuan Immortal Domain. The chosen pill dao geniuses will be heavily nurtured by my Xuan Immortal Domain. Of course, before you become a Tier 9 Immortal Pill Emperor, you won't be able to go to the Primal Chaos Secret Domain. After saying so much, the pill competition can begin now. Now, let's invite my Xuan Immortal Domain's number one Immortal Pill Emperor, Mu Zifeng to host this competition. "
After Liu Ming finished speaking, many cultivators who had never concocted pills were filled with regret. They should have learned pill concoction. If they were chosen, why would they need to fight so hard for cultivation resources?
Lan Xiaobu also heaved a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that if he was going to be sent away now, he would rather not have that peak grade fire type immortal vein. He heard that he would only be able to go to the Primal Chaos Secret Domain after becoming an Immortal Pill Emperor.
When he would become an Immortal Alchemy Emperor was something that he could control. It was not something that others could say. When he felt that he had the ability, he could say that he was an Immortal Pill Emperor. As for whether he could become an Immortal Pill Emperor in the future, it would depend on whether he could obtain enough Tier 8 and Tier 9 immortal herbs. As for the bottleneck, it didn't exist for him.
The reason why he thought this way was because Lan Xiaobu felt that he could win. He was an Immortal Pill King and there shouldn't be many Immortal Pill Kings below 100,000 years of age.
Mu Zifeng looked extremely thin and weak. If one met him face to face, it would be hard to believe that he was an Immortal Pill Emperor. Most likely, he would be treated as a low level cultivator. If it was in the mortal world, he would be more like an old farmer.
However, Lan Xiaobu felt that this fella wasn't just an Immortal Pill Emperor, he was also a true Immortal Emperor expert.
Mu Zifeng nodded to the crowd and said, "This pill competition is very simple. There's only one question …"
Everyone was confused. Mo Xuan Immortal Domain's pill competition had been prepared for many years. Moreover, the various Immortal Domains would have their pill competition first before the chosen geniuses could participate. Why did they only compete with one question after arriving here?
Mu Zifeng clearly heard everyone's discussion. He smiled faintly and said, "The pill competition's question isn't simple. The cost is extremely huge. Since it's pill Dao, it must be pill concoction. The pill competition is for everyone to refine a Tier 4 immortal pill. As for the name of the immortal pill, I won't tell everyone the pill formula for the time being … "
"Is he going to create his own pill formula?" Many of the Immortal Alchemists who wanted to participate in the alchemy competition were in despair.
Most of the participants here were grade-three Immortal Alchemy Masters. There were very few Great Immortal Alchemy Masters, so how could a grade-three Immortal Alchemy Master refine grade-four immortal pills? Not only that, but if you don't even tell others the pill formula, how do you expect others to refine it?
Creating a pill recipe, hehe, how many alchemists could create their own pill recipes?
Mu Zifeng continued, "It's not a must for everyone to come up with a pill formula. This pill formula already existed long ago, and the immortal spirit herbs were also given out according to the pill formula. Of course, the immortal spirit herbs given out were twice as much, and half of them were useless. However, the number of Immortal Alchemists who knew about this pill recipe was probably very small. Everyone has to pick half of the immortal herbs according to the immortal herbs given to you, then combine them with the pill formula and concoct the pill. Perhaps this should be called restoring the pill formula. With the immortal spirit herbs as a reference, restoring the pill formula shouldn't be very difficult.
This question wasn't very friendly to grade-three Immortal Alchemy Masters. Considering that this alchemy competition was to select alchemy geniuses, it wasn't a competition for rankings. If one wanted to compete with alchemy geniuses, then one had to be prepared to be a supporting character. For grade-three Immortal Alchemy Masters, it wasn't as if they didn't have a chance. Any pill formula created from the purification of immortal spirit herbs would be given points. Therefore, if you were able to create a grade-three immortal pill formula, the grade-three Immortal Alchemy Master would still be able to obtain a ranking.
Of course, if the pill formula you created exceeded grade-four, then not only would it be given points, it might even be given a higher score than the original one. Of course, I still have to remind all the participating alchemists that there's a trap in this question. "
A wave of laughter came from the plaza. The pill formula given out in this alchemy competition was definitely the highest. How could it be possible to create a pill formula with a higher score than the original one? Why don't you use grade-four immortal herbs to refine grade-five immortal pills for me to see?
When Lan Xiaobu heard this, he pondered for a moment. Under normal circumstances, the participating alchemists would only announce the question after they entered the alchemy competition area. Now, the participating alchemists hadn't even entered the competition area, but Mu Zifeng had already started announcing the question. This was very strange.
Mu Zifeng intentionally paused for a moment. When everyone had more or less digested his words, he continued, "The reward for the first place of this alchemy competition is very generous. I believe that the most valuable reward isn't that fire-type supreme-grade immortal spirit meridian, but a medicinal compendium. Don't think that this medicinal compendium only contains immortal spirit herbs from the Immortal World. The contents of the Mortal World, Immortal World and Immortal World added together are only 1% of the contents of this medicinal compendium. This medicinal compendium contains all sorts of herbs that surpass the Immortal World. Even I can't understand many of them. "
When he heard this, Lan Xiaobu knew that what Mu Zifeng said was true. If such a medicinal compendium really existed, then it would definitely be more valuable than a supreme-grade immortal spirit meridian. In other words, such a thing existed on par with the second Dao Compendium. It might even be rarer than the second Dao Compendium.
Such a rare thing would definitely be a one-of-a-kind copy. Such a one-of-a-kind copy definitely wouldn't be allowed to be duplicated, just like the second Dao Compendium. It seemed like he had to get first place no matter what.
"Besides this medicinal compendium, the first place of the alchemy competition will also receive a supreme-grade fire-type immortal spirit meridian, a Houtian Spirit Treasure Pill Furnace and a Quintessential World …"
Even an Immortal Emperor would want these rewards, let alone a mere alchemist.
The more Lan Xiaobu heard, the more he felt that something was amiss. Immediately, he took out his communication bead without hesitation and sent a message to Ju Xiuruo. He told her not to watch the alchemy competition and to immediately take Cheng Yinyao and leave as far as possible. Something big might happen after the alchemy competition. He vaguely understood why Mu Zifeng had to announce the question of the alchemy competition first. However, this was only his guess.
Perhaps giving up on this alchemy competition was the best choice. However, Lan Xiaobu had already stepped onto the path of cultivation. He clearly knew that there were so many top-grade treasures in front of him. If he gave up for his own safety, how could he walk to the pinnacle of cultivation?
Perhaps this alchemy competition wasn't entirely because of the Qing Fang Immortal Domain's suggestion. It was also debatable who took out these treasures.
Previously, he hadn't heard of the medicinal compendium or the Quintessential World. Teng Mo only said that there was a pocket dimension. A pocket dimension and a Quintessential World were two completely different concepts.
So many top-grade treasures were all concentrated in the hands of the first place. There were only two possibilities. Firstly, the first place had already been decided. Secondly, no matter who obtained the first place, that person would be able to easily take away all these treasures in one go. There was no need to find a few alchemists to take them.
Unfortunately, he found out too late. If he had known earlier, he would definitely have chosen a path of retreat and come to the alchemy competition.
Lan Xiaobu soon received Ju Xiuruo's message. Ju Xiuruo told Lan Xiaobu that they were leaving now. Cheng Yinyao left a jade letter in his room. Inside the jade letter was the method to enter the Black Bone Swamp.
Lan Xiaobu heaved a sigh of relief. Ju Xiuruo was too understanding. After many years of wandering, Ju Xiuruo was very clear about the meaning of her message. It meant that there would be danger after the alchemy competition. If they stayed here, they would only be adding to their troubles. Leaving behind the jade letter for the Black Bone Swamp wasn't just to give him the peak grade immortal vein. It was also to give him a place to escape.
He really didn't know who was lucky enough to become dao companions with such a woman.
Mu Zifeng continued, "Now, I invite everyone to enter the alchemy competition plaza. The way to enter the alchemy competition plaza is to use the purified medicinal liquid of the Tribulation Astral Immortal Fruit."
As Mu Zifeng sat down, circles of restrictions appeared around the alchemy competition plaza. In the middle of the restrictions was an array door. Beside the array door, there was a groove for pouring the Tribulation Astral Immortal Fruit's medicinal liquid.
Some of the participating cultivators lined up to enter. As long as they poured the Tribulation Astral Immortal Fruit's medicinal liquid into the groove, the array door would open and the participating alchemists could enter. If the array door didn't react after pouring the medicinal liquid in, it meant that the medicinal liquid wasn't pure enough. In the next moment, the participant would be sent away.
There were very few participants who were sent away. Lan Xiaobu took his medicinal liquid and followed the crowd to the array door. Then, he poured the Tribulation Astral Immortal Fruit's medicinal liquid. The array door opened and Lan Xiaobu stepped into the alchemy competition area.
From afar, Wang Guangquan saw Lan Xiaobu enter the alchemy competition area and was extremely shocked. He knew that Lan Xiaobu was representing Teng Mo in the competition. Logically speaking, since he had destroyed the medicinal liquid, Lan Xiaobu shouldn't be able to participate in the alchemy competition ah. As the competition approached, no one would give their medicinal liquid to Lan Xiaobu.
Since that was the case, how could Lan Xiaobu still participate? Originally, he wanted to expose Lan Xiaobu. He didn't expect that the alchemy competition's entry method wasn't a manual inspection but an array door identification.
What he didn't know was that Lan Xiaobu had spread the news that he had purified the Tribulation Astral Immortal Fruit's medicinal liquid again. He hoped that Wang Guangquan would raise an objection during the competition. He didn't expect that using such a method to inspect the medicinal liquid would prevent him from plotting against Wang Guangquan.
…
After entering the alchemy competition area, Lan Xiaobu found a pill refinement booth and sat down. As long as one entered this sort of pill refinement booth, they would be locked by restrictions. Before the competition ended, they wouldn't be able to leave.
After everyone was seated, Mu Zifeng stood up again, "Entry to the alchemy competition area is now closed. All participating alchemists, please take note of the notice in front of you. The total points for this alchemy competition is 400 points. The alchemy flame is a unified Tier 5 underground immortal flame and you can use your own pill furnace. You have five days to concoct pills. After five days, regardless of whether you succeed or fail, you are not allowed to continue. If you continue, you will be given zero points. "
After Mu Zifeng finished speaking, Lan Xiaobu discovered that a row of words had suddenly appeared in front of him: Please engrave your name, the Immortal Domain you represent, and your sect on the jade token next to your participant seat.
Lan Xiaobu casually picked up the jade token by the side and wrote on it, "Lan Xiaobu, Ascension Star Immortal Court, Eleventh Prince Teng Mo."
The jade token disappeared and an Earth Fire control array disc appeared in front of Lan Xiaobu. Lan Xiaobu looked at the place where the words appeared. Now, there was a palm-sized transfer button. There were also words above the transfer button, "Ready, please press the transfer button to begin transferring the immortal herbs."
Lan Xiaobu pressed the transfer button and more than a hundred stalks of immortal herbs appeared in front of him. What made Lan Xiaobu puzzled was that there were actually more than ten stalks of Tier 5 immortal herbs.
