Fairy bestows immortality

Li Changhong looked at everyone in front of him and said, "Today, we will hold this alchemy competition."

"Firstly, it promotes communication among everyone, helps us identify our shortcomings, and allows us to grow together."

"Secondly, it's also because I haven't been paying attention to the sect for a long time, and I want to see your strength."

Li Changhong walked to the platform outside the hall and sat in the head seat.

"This is a competition for intermediate-level alchemists, with a total of twelve participants."

"The rules are simple: there are five batches of pills in total, and each batch will produce one hundred pills."

"Rank them in order of their color grade and the time taken to refine them."

"The first place winner will receive five catties of Earth Milk Essence as a reward."

"The second and third place winners each have five high-grade spiritual herbs."

"The remaining participants will each receive ten mid-level medicinal herbs as a participation reward."

Apart from the Earth Milk Essence, these rewards hold little appeal for a mid-level alchemist.

If they wanted to obtain the elixir, it would be very easy.

This time, you either have to fight for first place or be valued by Master Li Dan!

These two points are the purposes of the twelve people participating in this alchemy competition.

Of course, perhaps only Su Yun was truly after the five catties of Earth Milk Essence...

Li Changhong continued, "During the refining process, it is not allowed to use other resources to restore one's spiritual energy, divine sense, and mental power."

"You must complete it on your own. If you feel the need to recover, then recover on your own and continue refining. I want to see the abilities of all of you."

After the rules were explained, all the intermediate-level alchemists repeatedly expressed that they understood.

"Alright, these are the five types of pills that need to be refined this time."

Everyone looked up and saw the young apprentice standing next to Li Changhong holding up a sign.

The five types of elixirs are listed above.

Fire-Separating Pill, Poison-Expelling Pill, Water-Containing Pill, Mysterious Life Pill, Yuan-Strengthening Pill.

The intermediate-level alchemists present could easily refine such pills.

However, to stand out in such a competition, one needs to refine a product with a superior appearance and color, as well as in the shortest possible refining time.

This increases the difficulty many times over!

"Who do you think will come out on top?"

"It's hard to say."

"In terms of talent, it might be Senior Brother Dong Jiashuang, but in terms of strength and experience, it should be Alchemists Yao Feihong and You Feng!"

“That’s right, these two alchemists have been famous for a long time.”

The disciples watching were all whispering among themselves.

"Who is that young man? He's actually a mid-level alchemist too?"

"I don't think I've seen this before."

Someone noticed Su Yun and expressed slight surprise.

This mid-level alchemist looks to be at most twenty years old, doesn't he?

"His name is Su something, I think I've seen him before, he used to frequent the Alchemist Pavilion."

……

At the very front, Dong Jiashuang took a deep breath and slowly clenched his fist.

Given his status, obtaining five catties of Earth Milk Essence would be a piece of cake for him.

The reason I participated in this competition was to gain Li Changhong's favor.

If you can receive his guidance, you will definitely make great progress in the future!

"I might not be able to guarantee first place, but I'm sure I'll be in the top three."

Dong Jiashuang was very confident. He believed that he was exceptionally talented. Apart from Yao Feihong and You Feng, who were already intermediate-level alchemists, he didn't take anyone else seriously.

He didn't care about losing to these two, since they were both at the sixth level of the Qi Sea realm.

He had only just entered the ranks of intermediate-level alchemists, with the Qi Sea at the third level, only slightly weaker than them; in fact, to be honest, he was stronger than them!

"Alright, let's begin!"

Following Li Changhong's order from the platform, all twelve people began their preparations.

First, let's start by preparing the medicinal materials.

Everything was done by myself alone.

This step is naturally not difficult at all; the only difference is that some people have a more precise grasp of the situation and can prepare faster.

For example, Su Yun was the first to prepare all the ingredients for the pills he was going to refine.
