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

"The top twenty finalists will be included in the 11th Competition's Immortal Ranking. After all competitions are concluded, the Immortal Ranking will be transmitted to all major mountain gates and immortal cultivation cities in Yunchuan. Please review it carefully at that time. If you find any omissions, please contact the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect's deacon office as soon as possible! Rewards will also be distributed at Tianque Peak after all competitions are concluded."

Finally, the deacon's voice spread throughout the alchemy room through the thunder note, announcing the successful conclusion of the Qi Refining Stage Alchemist Competition of the Immortal Gate Competition, and the eight judges also left.

Sui An glanced upwards and saw Kuang Wei standing on the flying sword. The flying sword in the alchemy room was much more delicate and exquisite, not like a huge monster when she first saw it, which made people feel that they had to avoid its sharp edge.

Perhaps he noticed her gaze, Kuang Wei looked at her, his lips slightly raised, a smile in his eyes. Sui An immediately smiled back, feeling very happy.

"Are you so happy?" Sui Dong's voice suddenly sounded in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Of course I'm happy. We've won a good ranking, a prize, and a chance to study and exchange with Lingque Sect for a while. We need to be happy for a while to make all our hard work worthwhile."

"So this is what you're enjoying!" Sui Dong muttered, feeling much better.

"Then why do you think I'm happy?"

"I thought you were grinning happily because Kuang Chebai smiled at you." Sui Dong said bluntly.

What's that silly grin?

"I only smiled back politely. Do you understand? Forget it. You're just a sword, so naturally you don't understand."

Sui Dongqi was feeling very uncomfortable and was about to retort when he suddenly saw someone walking towards him. Although the person seemed to have deliberately restrained his expression, the malicious aura of the person who came was still in the alchemy room and could be noticed by everyone who had not left.

It was precisely because they discovered that someone was going to cause trouble for the three people from the Jinling Sect that those who were originally preparing to leave stopped in their tracks. Since there was something exciting to watch, who would leave?

Sui An frowned. Who were these people? Could they be related to the Danfu Sect?

"Three fellow Taoists, move slowly!"

When Sui An and the other two were packing up to leave, someone immediately called them.

Forget it, it seems there is no way to hide.

"I wonder why you called the three of us here?"

As an alchemist and senior brother of Sui An and Fan Tuo, Shi Xu naturally stood in front of the two and spoke to the three people who were walking over.

"My name is Liu Xuanjie, this is my twelfth sister Liu Qingyao, and my junior brother Zeng Yu! We are cultivators from the Liu family of Chunkong City."

Shi Xu bowed and said, "I am Shi Xu, this is my junior sister Sui'an, and my junior brother Fan Tuo, a disciple of the Jinling Sect."

Shi Xu almost completely repeated the other person's words, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xuanjie without saying anything.

"When the Immortal Ranking was posted a while ago, my cousin and I started arguing about it. We haven't come to a conclusion yet, so I had to trouble you three Daoists to clear up our confusion. Please forgive me!"

Liu Xuanjie said this, bowing slightly.

Shi continued, "The three of us, brothers and sisters, are relatively inexperienced and haven't yet reached the stage of teaching and answering questions. If we try too hard, we'll probably mislead the students. Please, fellow Daoists, find another renowned teacher!"

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter was heard.

Liu Xuanjie frowned and looked over, only to see people all around. There were forty groups entering the finals, and each alchemist group had three people. In addition to the judges and deacons, there were a total of one hundred and twenty Qi Refining cultivators in the alchemy room. However, some of them had left after the competition. Now there were only about half of the people left in the alchemy room, which meant about fifty or sixty cultivators. Everyone was no longer in the original small alchemy space, and they were all gathered around to watch the fun. How could Liu Xuanjie recognize who had laughed just now?

"Fellow Daoist Shi, how can you say such things? Our Chunkong Liu family is also a family of immortal cultivators, and we have many senior cultivators teaching us. You are so reckless and disrespectful to your elders. You have no idea what you are talking about!"

Zeng Yu accused angrily.

Shi Xu, however, looked completely bewildered. Sui An stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Zeng, it was clearly Fellow Daoist Liu who called us over first and asked us to clarify your doubts. My senior brother answered Fellow Daoist Liu truthfully and politely declined his request without the slightest pretension of arrogance. May I ask where this disrespect for elders and lack of knowledge comes from?"

Although Sui An's speech speed was not fast, his voice was clear and soft, and his timbre was like the sound of forest and spring water. Every word he spoke clearly fell into the ears of everyone present, giving people a sense of telling a story. Although his words were questions, they did not sound like questions. However, for the three people from the Liu family, it seemed that an invisible pressure was slowly coming towards them with the sound of his words. It was not urgent, but it made people unable to help but step back.

Zeng Yu really couldn't help but take a step back, but he quickly recovered and wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Liu Qingyao who was standing beside him.

"Seventh Brother, there's no need to argue with them."

Although Liu Xuanjie felt reluctant, he also knew that his cousin's words made sense. He bowed to Shi Xu again and said directly, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shi and the other two for achieving an excellent result of fifth place in the finals. However, I just heard someone say that this year's Alchemist Finals are different from previous ones. We didn't know that the Lingque Sect had an alchemy room filled with interference formations, so when we first chose the alchemy fire, we just picked it at random. But... I wonder how the three of you made your choice?"

Shi Xu frowned, "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Liu?"

Zeng Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, please don't think we're all blind. The formation within the small alchemy space where your Jinling Sect resides is the most gentle, with minimal interference. It can also be easily channeled into alchemy fuel, aiding in alchemy. We actually discovered this during the alchemy process, but we didn't mention it at the time because we felt it would be difficult for disciples from a small sect like you to make it to the finals. If we had, you might have been disqualified, so we softened our hearts and endured it. Now that the Immortal Rankings have been released, I ask the three of you to give a reasonable explanation for this matter."

"What's the explanation? We just picked it randomly and were lucky!" Shi Xu didn't expect that someone would question the selection of the small space for alchemy.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, just being lucky doesn't seem to be enough to explain it." At this time, someone else stepped forward and said.

The person who came was Liu Chengfeng from Danfu Sect. Xiao Qin, Guan Shanhai and Liu Chengfeng were the first in the preliminary round of the Alchemist Competition and the second in the semi-finals, but they ranked sixth in the finals, behind Jinling Sect, and did not even make it into the top five.

The three of them were naturally unwilling to accept this. In addition to being unwilling, they were also deeply worried. It was unexpected that He Xuxing failed to enter the finals before, and now the result of the finals was like this. They didn't have to wait until the competition was over and they returned to the sect. They were afraid that as soon as they returned to their residence from Xuanrong Peak today, the elders would immediately come to them to question them. If it was just an inquiry, how could they be in a good mood?

Originally, the result was already decided. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice. But now that someone has come out to accuse Jin Lingzong of tampering with the selection of the small space for alchemy, whether it is true or not, it is beneficial to them.

If it can be proved that the Jinling Sect really did something, their final results will naturally be invalid. Then, the Danfu Sect's alchemist team, which is ranked sixth, will be directly promoted one place. Although it will still be a step behind the previous place, at least they will be in the top five and will not be suppressed by a small sect like the Jinling Sect.

Sui An guessed what the Danfu Sect monks were thinking, and most of the monks present also guessed it.

Shi Xu glared at Liu Chengfeng who had spoken, "You..."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, don't blame us for being suspicious. Not to mention that we haven't heard any news about the Jinling Sect's impressive alchemy skills in recent years, just look at this year's Alchemist Competition. Your performance in both the preliminary and semi-final rounds was average, yet you managed to beat out major sects and immortal cultivation families in the finals to take fifth place. It's truly unbelievable."

Liu Xuanjie interrupted Liu Chengfeng.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, since you have raised such suspicions, do you have any evidence? The formations within this small alchemy space are unknown to us participating cultivators, so how could the Golden Spirit Sect cultivators know about it?"

Someone came forward and asked.

"We don't know what's going on inside this alchemy room, but there must be someone who knows..."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, do you think that my Lingque Sect has played a role in this?"

Hu Zhuiyu took a big step forward and asked with a frown.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, I didn't say that. We have no doubts about your Lingque Sect taking first place in this Alchemist Competition."

Wu Nianxing quickly bowed and apologized. He was a disciple of the Wu family in Chunkong City. He also entered the finals this time, but did not make it into the Immortal List and ranked in the bottom 20.

"Senior Brother, what do they want to do?" Sui An always felt that the Liu and Wu families were a little strange, as if they were looking for trouble, but it didn't seem that they were just looking for trouble. They seemed to have some purpose.

Shi Xu naturally didn't know. "The competition is over, and the judges have left. They can't do whatever they want."

Sui An was not too worried, but these people obviously wanted to do something, so he would have to wait and see.

"Liu Xuanjie and Wu Nianxing looked at each other, and it seemed that they had reached a consensus long ago." Sui Dong's voice came from the sea of ​​consciousness.

As soon as Sui Dong finished speaking, he heard Liu Xuanjie say, "It just so happens that the three Daoists from the Dan Fu Sect are here, as well as Daoist Fellow Qi and his three companions. I wonder if Daoist Fellow Shi would like to have another competition? This time, the three groups can enter a small alchemy space with the same formation, and compete in making Xiaoyu Pills. Each group will use the same materials and refine a furnace of Xiaoyu Pills within one hour. The success rate and quality of the pills will be the criteria for judging. Then we'll see who comes out on top. How about it?"

Liu Chengfeng felt that he couldn't lay the groundwork any further, so he quickly stated his purpose.

Sui An found it really funny, and she actually laughed out of anger. Shi Xu and Fan Tuo were even more furious.

"You are too bullying. Why are you still not convinced by the result of the eight senior judges?" Shi Xu questioned.

"Brother, sister, let's go. Ignore them. They're being unreasonable. If you're dissatisfied with the result, feel free to go and talk to the competition stewards. Whether it's re-competing or canceling the results, we'll appeal to them!"

Fan Tuo pulled Shi Xu and Fan Tuo and was about to leave.

At this time, the scene inside the alchemy room could still be seen from the teleportation mirror. Seeing this scene, the people outside the alchemy room who had not yet had time to disperse began to talk. Some were excited to watch the excitement, some were rationally analyzing, some were questioning, and there were also those who were as angry as Sui An and the other two. Of course, apart from the Jinling Sect cultivators, there was no one else who was angry.
