Chapter 883: Incredible Speed!
n't be able to leave again.I am more certain now, your Murong family has long had designs on rebellion. Murong Botao is raising bandits along the border and colluding with enemy nations, waiting for a...The Heavenly Dan Small World is a secret realm.
In the Zhongzhou region, alchemists use this place as a special gathering spot.
Here, you can buy a wide variety of elixirs and pills. Fire seeds, formulas for alchemy, and other such things are also traded here.
With the help of their companion, Yun Hao smoothly entered the Tian Dan small world and quickly arrived at the alchemy competition venue.
A huge square was packed with people.
The plaza is divided into three areas.
These three areas are the three projects of this alchemy competition.
The first item, fire control!
The second item, identify the dan!
The third item, alchemy!
It can be said that these three trials are already able to comprehensively test whether a alchemist is sufficiently excellent.
At this time, the first area, only a few people are left.
The second area was filled with over a hundred people.
As for the third area, which is the final alchemy stage, there are only two people currently.
This alchemy competition has been going on for half a month.
Currently, only two people have successfully passed the first two stages and entered the final stage of assessment.
And above this vast square, sat three people.
The one in the middle, is Zhou Jia's Grandmaster Alchemist, the number one alchemist in the entire Azure World, Zhou Baiyuan!
And the person on the left is a alchemist from the Imperial Palace, and the person on the right is a famous wandering alchemist from Zhongzhou.
These three are the judges for this Alchemy Competition!
"Master Zhou, how did you get here"
A middle-aged man in imperial court attire, looking at Zhou Nian, seemed curious about how he had come here suddenly.
"Anniversary's expression remained calm as he said, 'When the competition began, the alchemist I, Zhou Family, secretly cultivated was just in seclusion refining pills, so he wasn't able to make it. Now that he's out of seclusion, I'll have him come and give it a try.'"
The man in the Imperial Palace's eyes flashed, glancing at Yun Hao and saying, "Since Lord Zhou personally sent you here, this must be your Zhou family's secretly cultivated super alchemy genius, right"
With an emotionless face, Zhou Nian said: "Let him come and try. After all, young people can't just stay shut away from the world."
The imperial palace man nodded slightly and said, "That's also true, but now that the alchemy competition has passed halfway, even if he comes, he can only go through the motions."
"Don't worry about that, Yun Tian. Just go."
Yun Hao: "Yes!"
The man from the Imperial Palace suddenly flashed, standing in front of Yun Hao and said, "Your surname is Yun"
Yunhao: "Why not"
The man from the Imperial Palace sneered and said, "The Imperial Palace dislikes people surnamed Yun very much. I'll give you some advice: after this alchemy competition, change your surname!"
Yun Hao: "If I don't change, what can you do to me"
The Imperial Palace Man:：“……”
He never expected that the young alchemist secretly cultivated by the Zhou family would be so bold, daring to directly confront him head-on!
"Yuntian, don't waste time." Zhounian spoke again.
Yun Hao directly ignored the man from the Imperial Palace who stood in his way, went around him, and walked towards the area for the first fire control competition.
On the platform.
The top alchemist of the Imperial Palace, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, glanced at Zhou Baiyuan who was sitting in the middle, and said: “Master Zhou, this person can make the head of your Zhou family personally deliver him. It seems that you have great confidence in him.”
"To enter the competition mid-way, what, are you planning for him to help the Zhou family win some face and take first place"
Zhou's family has always been the first in the realm of alchemy in Cangjie.
The Imperial Palace wanted to surpass the Zhou family in alchemy, but it had never succeeded.
No matter what kind of alchemy competition, the Imperial Palace was suppressed by the Zhou family.
But this year is different.
Now, the two remaining contestants who have begun their third bout are one from the Zhou family and one from the Imperial Palace.
And, that young alchemist from the Imperial Palace is progressing much faster!
This year, the Imperial Palace is hopeful to rise to prominence and surpass the Zhou family in alchemy!
On another platform, another itinerant alchemist also expressed his curiosity. "Master Zhou," he said, "What's so special about this young man That he would be sent over by the Zhou family in such a situation"
Zhou Baiyuan: "..."
He was also at a loss.
He had never even met this little guy.
He was also very curious, why would Zhou suddenly send a alchemist who wasn't raised by the Zhou family to participate midway through...
Zhou Baiyuan did not reveal these emotions. He said calmly, "You two are overthinking it. This is a young man from our Zhou family that we've been training. We brought him here to let him experience the world. As for what he's capable of, you'll see later."
The two people beside him fell silent.
The people gathered around the square were all staring at Yun Hao who had joined the competition midway.
If one were to say he was an ordinary alchemist... no one would believe it.
An ordinary alchemist, able to have the head of the Zhou family personally escort him midway through the competition
No one would believe it!
It must be the Zhou family's plan to use this fellow named Yuntian to turn things around in this alchemy competition!
But...is that possible
Both the Imperial Palace and the two super geniuses from the Zhou family spent nearly half a month to pass the first and second items.
Even if this cloud is very impressive.
Wouldn't it take at least ten days to finish both the first and second items
By the time he starts his third formal alchemy session, that super genius from the Imperial Palace should have already successfully refined the elixir!
At this time, Yun Hao stood in the area of the first Fire Control Competition.
All competitions here are conducted without using any personal belongings.
This also ensures fairness!
The test is how you perform under pressure!
This shows more clearly whether a cultivator of elixirs has a solid foundation!
Before Yunhao, there was a lamp burning.
Inside the candlelight, a wisp of flame's breath is contained.
To win this competition, you have to ignite the spark within the lamp, and light the lamp.
This seems simple, but it's full of hidden depths.
The flames within the braziers, responsible for this alchemical competition, were personally set by Zhou Baiyuan and his two top-ranking alchemist colleagues. They were far from easily ignited!
Li Xian of the Imperial Palace took three days to master controlling fire.
What time is it!
"Zhou Yang from the Zhou family used one more hour than Li Xian!"
"How long will it take for Zhou Jia's newly delivered chips to be used I'm very curious!"
Among the crowd, murmurs of discussion arose.
The Li Xian and Zhou Yang they were talking about are the two super geniuses who have already begun their third round of alchemy trials.
Yun Hao gazed at the candle before him, a flash of gold in his pupils.
Divine Eye of Insight instantly saw through the secret of the flames within the candlelight.
The next moment, he cast a spell with one hand.
Supreme Fire Technique!
In an instant, with a pop, a spark of flame ignited!
A faint flicker, swaying gently.
And at this moment, the hearts of all present were as if the heavens and earth had collapsed, waves crashing down upon them!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The shortest time imperial palace super alchemy genius Li Xian, it took three days to succeed!
And Zhou Jia's temporary addition to the competition, a fellow named Yun Tian, instantly succeeded!
Upon entering the Heavenly Elixir Junior World with Yun Hao, Zhou's patriarch was also astonished.
This… no wonder Yun Hao was so confident when he said he was going to participate in the alchemy competition...
Without saying anything else, this single Fire Control Technique alone places it at the very peak of the entire Azure Realm!
The top alchemist of the Imperial Palace, his face not looking too good, said, "This is truly unexpected."
The renowned alchemist, also known for his fame, was astonished. He said, "Master Zhou, your Zhou family is hiding a monster!"
Zhou Baiyuan's heart was also very restless, but on the surface he remained calm and said: "Young man, you are still too high-profile."
The two people beside him: "...".
In the field, Yunhao, who had shocked everyone, turned and left the first fire-control competition area and entered the second area.
The second area is for distinguishing dan.
Draw a mysterious pill from a sealed box and analyze its composition!
An accuracy of 90% or higher is considered passing!
These pills were concocted by Zhou Baizhi and his two top-tier alchemist apprentices, each contributing a large pile of spirit herbs. They haphazardly refined them with no set formula whatsoever. The pills within contained nonexistent medicinal ingredients found nowhere in the world...
There is no possibility of cheating.
Yun Hao casually pulled out a pill.
Yun Hao held the pill, observing it carefully. For a long time, he didn't make any other moves.
"Where is he He's not started yet, is he"
"Have you run out of ideas"
"I see!"
"So he's just a waste of space who only knows how to control fire. Being an alchemist isn't just about controlling fire, you know! At best, he's only good enough to be the most outstanding fire boy, hahaha!"
A number of sarcastic remarks began to appear around.
On the platform.
The top alchemist of the Imperial Palace, a smile returned to his face, and he said, “Master Zhou,”
Aren't you guys raising him in secret for more than just teaching him how to control fire"
Zhou Baiyuan could only grit his teeth and say, "Of course not."
The prominent itinerant alchemist standing beside him also spoke up: "Specialization is key in any field. The fact that he could achieve such mastery of fire control at his age is already remarkable. It's understandable that other aspects might be weaker, but with some time and effort, he can still become a truly exceptional alchemist."
Yun Hao hesitated for a long time, and the mocking voices around him grew louder and louder.
The moment he appeared, he was escorted by the head of the Zhou family himself. Then, with a flash of lights from ignited candles, he made a grand entrance. Now, however, he seems to know nothing about alchemy, having gone from a prodigy to a waste in an instant... This contrast is simply too great, and what's more, this world is full of people who will take advantage of his downfall.
Not to mention.
Insulting him is equivalent to indirectly flattering the Imperial Palace!
Compared to Zhou's family, most people would choose Di Gong.
It had been half an hour.
Yunhao finally moved.
He walked toward a stone platform on the side. On it was placed an inkstone, writing brushes, paper, and ink.
Yunhao's actions instantly caught everyone's attention.
"He... what does he want to do"
"Has he already confirmed the ingredients of that elixir"
“Impossible, since he got that pill, he has been standing there without moving. To identify a pill is not something you can figure out just by looking at it! It's an extremely rigorous test, requiring multiple methods to disassemble the pill and then differentiate its properties one by one, restoring its components. If he could tell just by looking at it for half an hour, I'd write my name backwards!”
Indifferent to the surrounding clamor, Yun Hao didn't pay it any mind.
He picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote down the names of various medicinal herbs on the pristine sheet of paper.e we have enough power, we'll seize an opportunity to eliminate Xia Xindao!As a result, as soon as we entered the territory of the ancient Xia country, we encountered the blood-fire demon sect's Wang...
