Mystic Moon continent, Great Xia Kingdom, Tianxuan City.
"Ouch …"
Feeling the pain all over his body, Ning Yue woke up with a start and tried to open his eyes. He looked around and realized that he was sitting on a high platform in the middle of the square, surrounded by a hubbub of voices.
"Where am I?" Ning Yue patted his head. Suddenly, his head felt like it was going to explode, and a huge amount of information flowed into his mind.
After some time, Ning Yue's expression finally eased. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was full of disbelief.
He was the number one Supremacy of the Sky Demon Region. He had reached the Supremacy stage before the age of twenty-five, and when he was thirty, he had broken through to the Sky Supreme stage, becoming the youngest Sky Supreme in the Sky Demon Region!
Furthermore, he was a ninth-grade pinnacle elixir master!
By chance, he had obtained the Reincarnation Elixir Dao in the Nether Cave. After studying it for many years, he had finally managed to refine a broken Reincarnation Elixir.
Unexpectedly, news of the elixir had leaked, and he had been attacked by the nine Supremacies of the Sky Demon Region. He had fought for three days and three nights at the top of the Sky Demon Region. Finally, he had used up all his energy and had no choice but to swallow the Reincarnation Elixir.
Who would have thought that this broken Reincarnation Elixir would really allow him to be reborn!
Furthermore, the memory of another youth had appeared in his mind.
According to the memory of that youth, it was year twenty of the Sky Demon Calendar, which meant that he had been reborn twenty years later.
The youth in his memory was also called Ning Yue. He was eighteen this year, and he was the eldest young master of the Ning family in Tianxuan City.
At eighteen, he was only at the fifth stage of the Body Tempering stage. In Tianxuan City, people of his age were mostly at the eighth or ninth stage of the Body Tempering stage.
Furthermore, the geniuses of the other three families had already reached the Acquired Stage.
Today was the day of the triennial competition for the Icy Cave assessment in Tianxuan City.
There were two types of competition. Five of them would be fought for by refining elixirs, and the other five would be fought for by sparring.
Ning Yue was representing the Ning family in the alchemy competition! However, he was clearly not in the right state today. He had even failed to refine the qi-gathering elixir easily!
Suddenly, sounds of discussion rang in Ning Yue's ears.
"Hehe, the Ning family is really pitiful. This time, they might not even get a single one of the ten spots for the Frozen Cave test."
"Yeah, in terms of alchemy attainments of the younger generation, other than Ning Yue, the Ning family is far behind the Wangs, Zhaos, and Lins."
"If the Ning family fails again, I'm afraid there will only be three big families in Tianxuan City in the future!"
"Ning Yue has already become a high-level alchemy apprentice and is only one step away from passing the test to become a first-grade alchemy master. He thought that he could turn the tide and win a place for the Ning family to enter the Icy Cave test. Who would have thought that he would even fail to refine a qi-gathering elixir?"
After all, Ning Yue's cultivation is only at Body Tempering Stage Five. His Yuan Qi can't keep up, so it's natural for him to fail in refining the Qi Gathering Elixir.
"…"
Ignoring the discussions around him, Ning Yue hurried to examine this frail body.
"A cultivation of Body Tempering Stage Five is too low. It's not enough."
Sitting cross-legged, Ning Yue used his slowly recovering soul force to examine this body carefully.
"It's indeed troublesome. No wonder he's only at Body Tempering Stage Five at the age of eighteen. His meridians are severely clogged. It's all thanks to his extraordinary soul force that he was able to reach Body Tempering Stage Five."
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! " Suddenly, Ning Yue's expression changed. He discovered a trace of liquid within the clogged meridians!
"Poisonous Blood Elixir! It's the residual effects of the Poisonous Blood Elixir! Who did it? How could they be so vicious as to use the Poisonous Blood Elixir on him! "
The so-called Poisonous Blood Elixir was made from eight types of poisonous herbs. It was colorless and odorless, and it would slowly eat away at the meridians of the person who consumed it. In less serious cases, the meridians would be clogged, and in more serious cases, one would die!
Furthermore, the Poisonous Blood Elixir not only had the effect of suppressing Yuan Qi, but also soul force! In other words, a person affected by the Poisonous Blood Elixir would not be able to use Yuan Qi or soul force easily!
"My current ability is not enough to force the Poisonous Blood Elixir out of my body. Only when I reach the Postnatal Stage will I have a chance to completely expel the Poisonous Blood Elixir from my body!" Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue temporarily set aside the anger in his heart and looked at the round table in front of him.
On the round table in front of him was a small alchemy cauldron. Within the cauldron, there were still remnants of the failed qi-gathering elixir.
"Luckily, there's still one more set of herbs," Glancing at the neatly arranged herbs beside the alchemy cauldron, Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
The qi-gathering elixir was the lowest form of the first grade elixir, the Qi gathering elixir.
All one needed to do was place the herbs in the alchemy cauldron and control the heat.
"The last time I failed to make the qi-gathering elixir, it must have been the doing of the Poisonous Blood Elixir," Ning Yue's eyes turned cold as he said coldly, "A mere Poisonous Blood Elixir won't be able to stop me, but a qi-gathering elixir? Child's play! "
"Bang!"
A crisp sound quietly rang out in the square.
Lin Feng of the Lin family slapped his palm heavily on the alchemy cauldron. Instantly, the lid of the cauldron shot up and a ball of crystal-clear liquid flew out.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he placed the elixir into a jade bottle that he had prepared earlier.
"Bang! Bang! "
Another two crisp sounds rang out. On the other side, Zhao Xuan of the Zhao family and Wang Tao of the Wangs slapped their alchemy cauldrons and placed the slightly dimmer elixir into the jade bottles.
"Lin Feng is indeed extraordinary. Not only has he reached the Postnatal Stage, but he is also very accomplished in the art of refining elixirs. Why didn't I realize this before?"
"The quality of the qi-gathering elixir that Lin Feng has refined must have reached the limit, right? If he improves a little more, he might be able to form the elixir. "
"Hehe, in my opinion, Lin Feng has the ability to refine the qi-gathering elixir. It's just that he doesn't want to discourage others."
At the same time, the Patriarch of the Wangs, Wang Qinian, smiled and said, "Hehe, Ning Hai, Ning Yue has already failed to refine the qi-gathering elixir. It seems like the Ning family won't get anything out of the five slots for the assessment in the Icy Cave."
Three years ago, the Wangs only won one slot in the Icy Cave assessment. This year, the Wangs had already won one slot in elixir refining.
And in the tournament, as Wang Tao of the Wangs had already reached the early Postnatal Stage, he would definitely win one slot.
He was very satisfied with this result.
The reason why everyone valued the Icy Cave so much was not because of the treasures in the Icy Cave, but because the Icy Cave was an assessment venue set up by Danwu College in Tianxuan City!
Danwu College was the best college in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and it was the gathering place for all the geniuses in the Great Xia Kingdom.
To be able to enter Danwu College was the highest honor for the younger generation of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Furthermore, if someone from the family really passed the assessment and entered Danwu College, it would be a great opportunity for small families like the Zhao family and the Wangs of Tianxuan City!
Therefore, the ten slots for the assessment in the Icy Cave were extremely precious!
"Look! Ning Yue! "
Just as Wang Qinian was looking at Ning Hai with his head held high, someone shouted and attracted everyone's attention.
On the high platform, Ning Yue slammed his right hand on the elixir cauldron. Wisps of primordial qi gushed out from his mind and entered the elixir cauldron through his palm.
