"Aren't you disappointed?" Sui Dong asked.
"What are you disappointed about? What did Senior Brother Wu just say? Our spirit beasts and cloud chariots are far inferior to those of the big sects and families?"
Sui An chuckled lightly, his tone relaxed. "Isn't this a fact we've known for a long time? And I believe that Elder Lan Jin and the Sect Leader must also be aware of this. As for bringing eight spirit cranes to make a good show, it's natural to do so when necessary. It's better to have more than nothing."
Sui Anxin was as calm as water, but other people did not think as clearly as she did.
"What do you mean, Senior Brother Wu? We've just set out. Boosting others' ambitions is ruining your own prestige!"
A disciple said loudly.
"Yeah, with this kind of thing happening right at the beginning, I think this competition is going to be... hanging!"
A disciple continued, his tone very depressed.
"Let's go over there. It's annoying to hear all this talk!" Fan Qiongzhi pulled Sui An and the others to a car window.
Although the cloud carriage is large, it has a limited number of windows. The appearance of this cloud carriage is not much different from that of an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. It has walls and a roof, and you can only see outside through the windows, so the position under the windows is still very popular.
Fan Qiongzhi vacated her position only after she drove away Tan Chuting, Wang Hao and others.
Wang Hao really didn't want to leave.
"If you want to see the scenery outside, sit in the front. You can see it clearly there."
Tan Chuting said this and pulled him away.
Wang Hao looked to the front, where his master, Lan Jin Zhenren, was sitting and talking to Lu Ande, Chi Weiyu, Fan Yuan and other foundation-building cultivators. He immediately shrank his neck and dared not look again.
"Senior Brother Wang is so afraid of Elder Lan Jin?" Su Mengjue was a little surprised.
Shu Yeyu, Sui An and Fan Tuo knew about this. Sui An glanced at the two people who also knew about it. Since Shu Yeyu was involved in this matter, she naturally didn't want to speak up. As for the young boy Fan Tuo, he was very serious at such a young age and would not speak unless he had to.
"What's going on? Senior Sister Shu, do you know?" Su Mengjue noticed at a glance that Shu Yeyu's expression had changed.
Shu Yeyu was speechless. Was she the one who was the worst at hiding her emotions among the three? Everyone said she had a cold face all day long.
"Sister Sui, please speak. This matter has something to do with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it justice if I speak on my own."
"Senior Sister Shu, we were just chatting privately. There's no need to be so serious." Fan Qiongzhi said.
But in the end, it was Sui An who spoke. She coughed lightly and lowered her voice, saying, "Because Uncle Wang lost to Senior Sister Shu in the sect's alchemy competition."
Fan Qiongzhi opened her eyes wide and looked at Shu Yeyu, "Senior Sister Shu, aren't you going there to watch the game?"
Shu Yeyu shook his head, "No, I'm Uncle Chi's alchemy assistant."
There were only two groups from the Jinling Sect participating in the alchemy competition. One group was composed of Shi Xu, Sui An and Fan Tuo, who were alchemists in the Qi Refining stage. The other group was composed of Chi Weiyun, Ji Weiyue and Shu Yeyu, who were participating in the Foundation Establishment stage alchemy competition.
Both the Qi Refining Group and the Foundation Establishment Group were selected after several rounds of competition by the three elders of the sect and the Deacon Hall.
Each group consists of three people, one alchemist and two alchemy assistants. The competition not only depends on the alchemy skills of the alchemist, but also the skills of the alchemy assistants and the degree of cooperation between the three. In the eyes of the three elders of the Jinling Sect and the head of the Deacon Hall, the latter one is better and will be favored by them.
After all, when it comes to alchemy skills, the alchemists of the Jinling Sect are hard to compare with those of the big sects and families in all aspects, so it is difficult for them to achieve outstanding results in the competition.
However, the team's ability to cooperate is not only determined by the final effect of the pill, but also by whether there are any outstanding highlights in the division of labor, cooperation, and collaboration of the entire team before, during, and after the pill refining process. If a good result is achieved in this aspect, not only will the participating team have generous prizes, but its sect can also obtain support and help from the Wanxian Sect and the six major sects. There are even cultivators in the participating team who can get the opportunity to exchange and learn from the six major sects.
This kind of exchange and learning does not take one or two days, but at least half a year, and at most... According to what Sui An heard, more than a hundred years ago, in the second Immortal Gate Competition, a disciple from a small sect won the 26th place in the final of the arena competition and got the opportunity to go to the Chuyun Sect for exchanges. Until now, more than a hundred years have passed, and he himself has advanced from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Early Golden Core Stage, but he has never returned to his own sect.
Although this person was noticed by the Chuyun Sect because of his good results in the individual competition, it was not uncommon for him to be favored by the Wanxian Sect and major sects and families because of his outstanding team performance in previous immortal competitions, and to gain many opportunities from them.
Therefore, what the leader and elders of the Jinling Sect value most is often not the ability of each group leader, but the ability of cooperation between groups.
Wang Hao was good at refining pills, but perhaps precisely because of this, when the three of them were refining pills together, with Chi Weiyu as the alchemist and him and Ji Weiyue as assistants, he was too self-centered, always attracting everyone's attention. Moreover, because he was trying to steal the credit, the success rate and quality of the pills were far below expectations. Even though he was Elder Lan Jin's direct disciple, this kind of performance got him directly eliminated from the competition group.
For a Foundation Establishment Stage alchemist group, it is not required that all three members of the group are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is sufficient for the alchemist himself to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, most groups will still select Foundation Establishment cultivators as alchemy assistants, because during the competition, the number of times to refine the pills will be determined according to the number of members in the group. In other words, if an alchemy group consists of three people, they need to refine three furnaces of pills, of which the alchemist himself is required to refine at least one furnace. As for the other two furnaces, there is no mandatory regulation as to whether they are refined by the alchemist himself or guided by the alchemy assistant.
The judging criteria for alchemists and alchemy assistants are different. How to choose in order to achieve better results is something that each participating team needs to weigh.
Shu Yeyu is now a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Although she can also refine pills for the Foundation Establishment stage, her success rate is very low due to her cultivation level. Therefore, she joined Chi Weiyu's Foundation Establishment stage alchemist team to assist in making pills, and will not refine pills in the competition.
"Senior Sister Shu, you're amazing! You actually defeated Senior Brother Wang! He must be so pissed off that his nose is crooked!"
Fan Qiongzhi was quite excited. "He's usually very proud. Like Senior Brother Tan, he wasted several years in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Later, he succeeded in establishing his foundation before Senior Brother Tan. He always uses this to provoke Senior Brother Tan. I've disliked him for a long time, and you finally gave me a sense of relief."
Sui An noticed Fan Tuo frowning, thinking this prim young man was about to lecture him again. Just as he was thinking about how to interrupt him, he heard him say, "Plus my breath, Senior Sister Shu, if you come to me to refine weapons in the future, I'll give you a 30% discount!"
Everyone was shocked when these words came out. Qin Jing, who had quietly approached at some point, even bumped into Fan Tuo's arm and said, "Junior Brother Fan, this doesn't sound like what you would say. Besides, it seems that Senior Brother Wang didn't offend you, did he?"
"He has ridiculed Senior Brother Song." Fan Tuo said with a stern face.
Sui An then remembered that Song Chunchi had also wasted several years in the state of great perfection of Qi training, and he succeeded in building the foundation in Wanmang Forest more than a year ago. He and Fan Tuo were both direct disciples of Master Sansi, and were brothers in the same school. At that time, Fan Tuo had also found Song Chunchi and asked him to take care of him in the Taoist class.
