The Pill Gathering Competition in Pill City was held as scheduled. The participating alchemists had all registered in Pill City beforehand. All alchemists had to be at least a level four alchemist before they could pass the preliminary assessment.
Yi Tian understood this clearly. Although the cultivation of many Level Four alchemists was not high, their unique techniques and proficiency in the refinement of some unorthodox medicinal pills were enough to make others hold them in high esteem.
The host of the competition, Pill City Lord Ji Danxing, came up with two questions and posted them on the signboard in the middle of the Pill Gathering Hall. The participating alchemists all read the questions carefully. Soon after, many people began to impatiently run through the questions in their minds. Some even began to discuss them in groups of twos and threes.
Ji Danxing did not stop this. The purpose of the Pill Gathering Competition was to share some of the problems encountered in refining pills for the alchemists to discuss. As for whether or not they could solve it, and whether or not they could learn something from it, it would depend on each person's comprehension and luck.
Yi Tian, who was sitting at the side of the judging panel, was silently observing the alchemists in the hall. Although the goal was clear, both parties had to be willing.
A few days ago, he had refined a pill furnace and the Inherited Heaven Sword in the alchemy room of the Wonderful Treasure House. After he was done, the Weapon Tribulation came as scheduled. Fortunately, his cultivation was much higher than before, so the Weapon Tribulation did not cause too much damage. It was just that the scene was a little big.
Moreover, the two Weapon Tribulations had attracted many people to watch. After all, this kind of Heavenly Tribulation was not often seen. After Pill City Lord Ji Danxing heard his subordinate's report, he also came to watch. However, his eyes were like torches. During the Weapon Tribulation, he saw Yi Tian's actions. Only then did he know the true cultivation of this person from the Wise King Road.
After this, Ji Danxing's attitude became even more enthusiastic. Moreover, he saw a pill furnace in the flash of the Weapon Tribulation. This spiritual weapon was at least a level six beginner. However, as the Pill City Lord, he only had a level five top tier pill furnace.
Knowing the purpose of Yi Tian's visit, this item should be used to recruit alchemists, but Ji Danxing had his own plans. It would never be wrong to build a good relationship with an Armament Master.
After the participating alchemists entered the venue one after another, they sat down in a separate alchemy room below the venue. Then, Ji Dan Xing ordered people to deliver the medicinal herbs for this examination.
In fact, Yi Tian had actually read the questions that Ji Danxing had set. The two questions were about how to sort the medicinal ingredients and how to concoct a Soothing Pill. The effects of this pill were rather peculiar. It was specifically used to sharpen the mind of Jin Dan cultivators. It was said that its effects were similar to the 'Mind Pill', but with a higher grade, its effects were naturally superior.
In fact, there were many ways to improve one's state of mind. For example, he had escaped into the illusion array back then, but the experience was even more dangerous. If he couldn't break out of the illusory formation, his Dao Heart would be damaged. However, if he could break through, the effects would be obvious.
As for the gentler method, it was to personally enter the mortal realm and spend 20 to 30 years to experience the life and death of mortals, love, hate, resentment, and what they couldn't ask for.
Using the power of this pill would have the worst effect, but it wouldn't cause any harm to the body, and it would save time. The only drawback was that if one took too many pills, they would develop a resistance to the pill, and the effects would become worse and worse.
Ji Dan Xing, on the other hand, kept introducing the situation of these alchemists to Yi Tian. He even mentioned a few local alchemists in Pill City, including his son, Ji Ruizhang.
After an hour, the doors to the venue were about to close. At this moment, an alchemist wearing a bamboo hat hurriedly rushed to the venue. After the guard checked the token, he directly walked into the venue. He then looked around and found an empty seat at the side and sat down.
The situation of the entire venue was covered under Yi Tian's divine sense. Every action of these Alchemy Masters was seen in his eyes. There weren't many female alchemists present. Including the one with the bamboo hat who came in last, there were only four. Among them, there were only two level 5 alchemists.
However, the figure of the last person made Yi Tian feel a little familiar, as if he had seen him many years ago. However, the bamboo hat he wore was obviously a spirit weapon that could block the divine sense.
After a short while, Ji Danxing stood up and directly announced, "In this alchemy competition, two questions need to be answered at once. Additional materials are not allowed. The time limit is four hours. The prize is a bottle of level five mid-tier alchemy furnace." After he finished speaking, he motioned for his disciples to bring in the necessary materials for the exam questions.
After the twenty or so alchemists present received the materials, they started to solve the questions. Yi Tian used his divine sense to scan the prize on the stone platform in front of him. It was a level 5 pill furnace. Looking at the appearance of this spirit weapon, it seemed to be the work of an expert. The furnace body and lid were completely one.
In order to make up for the pill furnace's grade, three complementary spirit patterns were engraved on the bottom and lid of the pill furnace. It could be seen that the refiner's skill was very high.
As a result, although this pill furnace looked like a level 5 mid-tier pill furnace, it was actually a high-level pill furnace. It was no wonder that these alchemists were willing to participate in this alchemy gathering. It seemed that they also came to compete for this item.
However, compared to the prize in front of him, the newly refined 'Flame Melting Furnace' in his storage ring was nothing. Although there was only one spirit pattern engraved on it, it was still a low-level spirit language. In this realm, it was one of a kind. If he took it out now, it might cause a commotion.
Moreover, this thing was used by the alchemists he hired. Even if Ji Danxing had some understanding of it, he didn't dare to have any improper thoughts in front of Yuanying cultivators.
When the water clock was halfway through, several level 4 alchemists withdrew from the competition one after another. They knew that their strength was limited, so they decisively chose to give up after completing the first part.
Seeing this, Ji Danxing didn't get angry. Instead, he went forward and inspected the materials that each alchemist had completed. Then, he pointed out some shortcomings. When the alchemists heard this, they all went forward to express their gratitude. Then, they all sat in the audience seats.
This kind of situation was expected. The purpose of these level 4 alchemists participating in the alchemy gathering was to broaden their horizons and make some friends. It couldn't be better if they could listen to the City Lord's teachings.
The ones who really wanted to compete were the level 5 alchemists who were continuing with the second part. Among them, Ji Ruizhang's progress was the fastest. He had already reached the stage of melting the materials into the furnace.
However, Yi Tian's gaze was fixed on the last female alchemist. When she took out the pill furnace, Yi Tian recognized her. It was actually Ning Ning from Chiyang School's Central Alchemy Hall.
Coincidentally, Ning Ning took out three pill furnaces this time. One of them was the pill furnace that he had specially refined for her. At this time, she actually put the ingredients for refining the 'Soothing Pill' into three different pill furnaces at the same time.
Now, her speed was faster than the average alchemist. At the same time, she made up for the time she spent reading the questions and deducing at the beginning. In this way, she was able to keep up with Ji Ruizhang's pace.
