Chapter 108 The Genius of the Immortal Cultivation World 15
In a solemn and expectant atmosphere, a thrilling alchemy competition kicked off.
Bai Yun looked solemn and walked onto the stage with steady steps. He went to his seat. On the table, the ancient alchemy furnace and various spiritual medicines beside it were neatly placed. At this time, more than 20 alchemists in the field had taken their positions, and each of them had a look of concentration and determination in their eyes.
Everyone waited in silence. Finally, under everyone's gaze, the elder of the Poyun Sect slowly stepped forward. Clearing his throat, the elder announced the rules of the competition in a resounding voice: "Fellow alchemists, in today's competition, whoever can use these spiritual herbs to refine the highest-quality elixir will earn points. In cases of equal quality, an extra round will be held. This competition will last for one hour. Now, I declare the competition officially open!" The elder's words were like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples.
The alchemists all took action. Bai Yun had never participated in such a large-scale competition. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked carefully at the spiritual herbs in front of her. She gently brushed her fingers over them, feeling the texture and scent of each spiritual herb, as if she was having a silent communication with these spiritual herbs.
Then, she carefully selected a few spiritual herbs and placed them in the alchemy furnace. Then, she danced with her hands, uttering a series of mysterious incantations. The flames beneath the furnace suddenly blazed fiercely. She concentrated on controlling the flame's temperature. She was preparing to refine a Spirit Gathering Pill.
The Poyun Sect's alchemist was already experienced in this kind of competition, having secured nearly all the points for alchemy over the past few years. He calmly arranged the various spiritual herbs into their respective categories, then closed his eyes, silently deducing the steps of alchemy in his mind. A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze brimming with confidence, and began methodically adding the spiritual herbs to the alchemy furnace. Her technique was skillful and graceful, each movement perfectly timed, as if she were creating a work of art.
One alchemist, overly nervous, lost control of the heat and caused the furnace to explode. This sudden shock naturally also affected the alchemists around him.
The Poyun Sect's leader gently stroked his beard, looking with satisfaction at his disciples' consistent performance. Meanwhile, the Qingji Sect's leader closely observed Bai Yun's movements. With his Golden Core cultivation, Bai Yun's technique was expert, and his control of the heat was meticulous. With such performance, this year's competition was considered a bit of a novelty.
The sound of a gong resounded clearly, echoing throughout the arena. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Bai Yun gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and stood there quietly, patiently waiting for the three sect leaders to come and inspect the pills.
The three elders slowly stood up and walked onto the field with steady steps. They began to examine each alchemist's work one by one. After each pill was examined, the disciples around them quickly took notes with pen and paper.
Soon, they arrived before Yun Sheng, the alchemist of the Poyun Sect. The Qingji Sect elder immediately recognized it as a Lingyuan Pill. This pill could enhance a cultivator's spiritual power, and he couldn't help but praise it, "This Lingyuan Pill is pure in texture and exquisite in color. It's truly remarkable. Compared to last year, your skills have improved." Yuan Sheng couldn't hide his smile at the compliment.
The three sect masters then approached the other contestants. However, most of the contestants had only refined some mediocre healing pills. The sect masters of the Poyun Sect and the Yushou Sect had already made a preliminary decision on the first place winner during their inspection. At this point, they arrived before Bai Yun.
The leader of the Qingji Sect looked solemn as he leaned forward slightly, extending his slender fingers to pick up the elixir refined by Bai Yun. His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the elixir in his hand. When he felt the powerful spiritual energy rushing towards him, a flicker of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes, his brows raised slightly, and a smile of satisfaction unconsciously appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He gently turned the pill in his hand, carefully observing its color and texture, not missing any subtle details. His serious look was as if a connoisseur was appreciating a rare treasure.
The leader of the Beast Taming Sect nearby was filled with surprise and blurted out, "This is the Spirit Gathering Pill!"
The leader of Poyun Sect was also deeply shocked at this moment and exclaimed in amazement: "It's actually a high-level Spirit Gathering Pill!"
The Qingji Sect's leader witnessed Bai Yun's entire refining process and naturally knew she was refining the Spirit Gathering Pill. However, he never imagined that at such a young age, she could actually refine such a high-grade Spirit Gathering Pill. Looking at Bai Yun, who remained calm and composed, his satisfaction grew stronger. He slowly turned his head to look at the two sect leaders beside him and whispered, "The winner of the first alchemy competition has been announced. What do you think?" The two sect leaders exchanged glances and nodded slightly, agreeing with the result.
Then, the three sect masters walked to the referee's table. The Qingji Sect's Sect Master held up the Gathering Spirit Pill and announced loudly to the surrounding sects, "The winner of this alchemy competition is Bai Yun from the Tianjing Sect."
Dongfang Yi and Lin Jue stood up excitedly and cheered: "I knew Senior Sister could do it. She won the first game successfully!"
Yuan Sheng felt a little bit unhappy when he heard that he was not the first place winner. But when he saw the high-level Spirit Gathering Pill, he immediately felt that he had lost.
When the first place winner, "Baiyun," was announced, the entire audience erupted in an uproar, with exclamations resounding like thunder. Everyone stared with eyes wide open, their mouths agape, stunned beyond words by this unexpected result.
"Bai Yun? I've never heard of this person's name. Where on earth did this Tianjing Sect come from? How could they cultivate such a powerful figure and refine such high-level elixirs?" Someone widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Yes! Look at this female disciple. She is young, but she has such amazing abilities. It's really hard to imagine." Another person couldn't help but sigh, his eyes fixed on the direction of Bai Yun.
"With such an outstanding alchemist here, Tianjing Sect will surely be blessed with great fortune in the future." Everyone nodded.
The morning's alchemy competition concluded in a lively atmosphere. After a brief rest and lunch, everyone began to eagerly anticipate the exciting afternoon events. The beast taming competition would begin that afternoon, and this field would be the battlefield for Dongfang Yi to showcase his prowess. He couldn't wait to get on the court; since his senior sister had scored the first point, he couldn't afford to fall behind.
As the gong clanged, the elder of the Poyuan Sect stepped forward and began to announce the rules for the second Beast Taming Competition: "There are two ways to win this Beast Taming Competition. One is to incapacitate the opponent's spirit beast; the other is for the opponent to surrender directly. The opponents will be determined by drawing lots. The winners will then proceed to the final battle, and the winner will receive one point."
"Now, please come forward and draw lots."
