Carrying the identifier from the interstellar to the world of immortal cultivation

"I'm the one holding back this time!"

Shi Xu looked up at the entire field. Although the judges had not yet made a decision, based on Sui An's previous performance and the comparison with the pill-making time, pill-making rate and pill quality of other participating teams in the field, if it weren't for his drag, Sui An could at least compete for the top ten, let alone the top three.

But now... it is still hard to say whether they can enter the top 20, and whether the names of Jin Lingzong and the three of them can occupy a place on the Immortal List.

"Brother Shi, I think we can make it onto the Immortal Ranking!"

Sui An's confident tone comforted Shi Xu a little.

Without waiting for Shi Xu and Fan Tuo to ask, she continued, "Not only can we make it onto the Immortal Ranking, but we can even make it into the top ten."

"Follow Junior Sister. Confidence is a good thing, but being too confident... will make people laugh."

"There's still a quarter of an hour until the time comes. Let's wait!"

Shi Xu and Fan Tuo looked at each other, wondering why Sui An was so confident.

Sui An was certainly not bragging for no reason. Although Shi Xu and Fan Tuo could also see the general situation in the field, they only knew which alchemist teams had completed the refining of nine furnaces of pills, which ones had not yet finished, which furnaces had exploded, and which alchemy materials had been destroyed. They could only wait for the competition to end quickly and escape from here as soon as possible with despair.

However, Sui Dong had already told her in detail the results of each group and even the alchemy process. After the preliminary and semi-final rounds, although each judge had different focuses, there would not be much difference overall. Therefore, Sui An analyzed that their group should be able to enter the top ten.

Perhaps because Sui An's tone was too confident, Shi Xu and Fan Tuo, who were skeptical at first, gradually felt as they waited that they might actually be able to compete for the top ten in the Immortal Gate Competition.

So when the golden characters formed by spiritual energy gradually appeared above, Shi Xu and Fan Tuo changed their previous habit of reading from the back to the front, and instead started reading from the first place to the back.

"Here it comes, the results are out!" At this time, in front of the huge teleportation mirror outside the alchemy room, the cultivators stared at the scene in the mirror, watching the characters constructed by spiritual light appear one by one, and someone couldn't help but read them out loud.

"Top of the list... Lingque Sect's alchemist team, alchemist Xu Yang, alchemist assistants Zhou Xiaofeng, and Lin Shuangyu. Second place... Chuyun Sect's alchemist team, alchemist Mu Yan, alchemist assistants Gu Shikai and Liu Fang. Third place, Yucheng Song Family's alchemist team, alchemist Song Chang, alchemist assistants Wang Xuhui and Zheng Liqi. Fourth place..."

"Huh? The Danfu Sect didn't even make it into the top three this time?"

Suddenly someone said in surprise.

"Yes, in previous Alchemist Competitions, in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, the Dan Fu Sect would always be among the top three. Especially in the Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competitions, the Dan Fu Sect would usually take the top spot. On the rare occasions when they came in second, I heard their elders were not very happy. After returning, they would specially call the participating teams over to carefully analyze the reasons for the failure. But this time..."

"The fourth place is out, and it's not the Danfu Sect!" As he spoke, the spiritual light in the teleportation mirror had already constructed the fourth place sect and name. It was the Mingxuan Sect's alchemist team, alchemist Zhu Wenwen, and alchemy assistants Wei Changhai and Zhang Jin..."

"Haha, Senior Sister Zhu and the others won fourth place. This is the first time that our Mingxuan Sect has won the top five in the Alchemist Competition finals..."

"What do you mean by top five? I remember that your Mingxuan Sect only achieved good rankings in the individual competition and weapon master competition. In the alchemy competition...sometimes you might not even make it to the Immortal Ranking. And you're one of the six major sects! Your development is so unbalanced!"

“But this time it’s balanced!”

The tone of Ming Xuanzong's young disciple had a kind of open-mindedness and cheerfulness, as if to say, "I'm happy today and don't bother with you." This made those who wanted to continue to say sarcastic words feel that if they continued, they would appear to be sarcastic and mean.

"Hehe, after we go back this time, the headmaster shouldn't have such a stern face anymore!"

Another disciple of Ming Xuanzong happily echoed this.

At this time, almost all the cultivators of the Jinling Sect, including Master Lan Jin, were looking at the teleportation mirror calmly. They felt that it was not the time to get nervous yet. It would not be too late to start getting nervous after the top 20, or even more boldly, the top 10, came out.

Although the competition situation in the alchemy room can be seen through the teleportation mirror, this alchemy master finals is different from any previous ones. An interference formation is actually used. Of course, after watching the entire game, everyone also realized that the so-called interference formation depends on how you treat it. If you take advantage of the situation and follow the trend, you can turn the interference formation into an assist weapon.

However, because of the formation, the scene inside the alchemy room is still affected by the display of the teleportation mirror, so everyone can only see roughly, know which group completed how many batches of pills and when, whether all the pills were refined within the specified time, whether the alchemist and assistant were injured, etc. As for the more subtle situations such as the success rate of the pills, the quality of the pills, and the degree of injury of the alchemist and assistants, even a Jindan cultivator cannot obtain complete information from the picture blocked by the formation of each small alchemy space from the teleportation mirror.

"Fifth place..." The monk who had started reading the list since it appeared continued to read aloud the golden font constructed by rays of spiritual light.

"Golden Spirit Sect...Alchemy Master Shi Xu, Alchemy Assistants Sui An and Fan Tuo!"

"what!"

"Golden Spirit Sect?"

"Which sect is the Jinling Sect?"

"Could it be a branch sect opened by a major sect or one of the three major cities?"

"Isn't the Jinling Sect the sect that said it had a grudge against the Hanming Sect at the start of the competition? Where's Fellow Daoist Wu from the Hanming Sect? Hey, I saw him just now, why has he disappeared in just a moment?"

The person who read the list did not immediately react to what he had just read. After all, those strokes of the characters were constructed one by one by spiritual light. He was almost concentrating on waiting for the appearance of each complete character, and then read it out subconsciously. As for the content, it required a short reaction time. But for those cultivators who listened to him, when they heard that the fifth place came from an unknown sect that most cultivators here had never heard of, the entire outside of the alchemy room was in an uproar in an instant.

This move was much bigger than the previous incident where Mingxuan Sect unexpectedly won the fourth place. After all, even if Mingxuan Sect was not good at alchemy, it was still one of the six major sects. It had both fame and resources. It was not difficult for it to allocate resources to cultivate a few disciples with good alchemy skills within a few years.

"Elder, it's Senior Brother Shi and his group. They won fifth place in the finals!"

The cultivators of Jinling Sect were a little slow to realize what was happening, but Qin Jing was the first to react.

Master Lan Jin nodded, "I heard it! Don't say anything, just keep looking at the list."

Wang Hao wanted to say that only one alchemist group from their Jinling Sect entered the finals. Now that he had seen the rankings of Senior Brother Shi and the others, there was nothing else to see. However, when his master glared at him, he could only control his temper.

The list continued, but the attention of the cultivators of Jinling Sect was no longer on the list. Even Lu Ande was already planning in his mind how to use the ranking in this alchemist finals to bring more medicine business to Jinling Sect.

"Sister Sui, Brother Shi, we got fifth place in the finals of the Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competition of the Immortal Sect Competition!"

"Yes, it's the fifth one, Senior Brother Shi. Does this mean we can enter the six major sects to exchange and study?"

Sui'an first thought of Lingque Sect's huge library and Lingjian Pavilion. Both were located on the main peak of Lingque Peak, Tianque Peak. Not to mention the library, with the strength of Lingque Sect, the collection of books must be huge, and the number of martial arts secrets is countless. Sui'an had only heard of Lingjian Pavilion. As soon as she entered Lingque Sect, she was taken into the Red Gold Secret Realm by Kuang Wei. Later, she was busy with the Alchemist Competition, so she had never had time to see it. But just from hearing about it, she had a great interest in the Sword Pavilion on Tianque Peak.

I once thought that with my current level of cultivation, I might only be able to practice on the first level, and after building the foundation, I might be able to enter the second level, and then improve my cultivation to enter the third level. This kind of treasure that requires constant climbing and can make people clearly aware of their own strength, standing on the main peak of the sect, is a powerful means of motivation for disciples.

Although Sui An was not a disciple of Lingque Sect, she also wanted to experience it. She even thought about going to the Sword Pavilion with Fan Tuo and asking him to study it carefully and try to refine a low-profile version to replicate their training mode.

Although this idea is too far-fetched, what if it comes true?

"Senior Brother Shi, why don't you say anything? We got fifth place, fifth place in the final of the Alchemist Competition! Smile a little!" Fan Tuo is usually very serious and seems a little mature beyond his years, but today, he is very cheerful.

Shi Xu, on the other hand, although he had always tried to be serious, was not such a steady person at heart. They got fifth place, which was such a great thing. According to his previous experience, Shi Xu should have laughed wildly, but with the reminder of Sui An and Fan Tuo, he tried his best to hold back his laughter.

"Alas... If it weren't for me, we should have been in the top three!" Shi Xu felt a little self-pitying.

"Brother Shi, fifth is great!" Fan Tuo comforted.

Sui An glanced at him and said, "Brother Shi, that's enough. We won't take you with us after this performance!"

Shi Xu glared at her, "You girl, you want to cross the river and destroy the bridge!"

"No, but if you're still so sad, I can reluctantly tear it down just once so you don't feel too guilty."

Shi Xu was so angry that he laughed. Fan Tuo also reacted and couldn't help but cackle. Sui An couldn't help laughing when he heard the boy's laughter which sounded a bit like a duck.

There are people who can't stand the three of them laughing here.

Now the list of the top 20 has been released. The bottom 20 will not be included in the Immortal List, so they will no longer be ranked. In short, entering the finals is already a very good result for many less famous sects and families, or even groups of independent cultivators.

But for the six major sects and the immortal cultivation families in the three major cities, they were unhappy and even angry and dissatisfied if they did not make it into the top 20, or even if they had made it into the top 20 but ranked low in the top 20, or did not make it into the originally expected ranking.
