Shen Yuan Ring

With their consent, Dan Daozi flicked his sleeve, and the four of them vanished from their spot in an instant!

Only leaves remained, drifting in the air as they fell with the wind!

Not long after, Cheng Ke'er rode a handsome white wolf and arrived at the courtyard where Ji Daoyi was!

That's right, this white wolf is none other than Crescent Moon, which Ji Daoyi is familiar with!

Ever since Cheng Ke'er learned that Crescent Moon could grow larger, she has been constantly feeding it pills and precious spiritual herbs!

Crescent Moon also "betrayed" at that time, and Ji Daoyi was happy to be free and didn't have to worry about Crescent Moon's daily meals, so he naturally had no objection to it!

"Dao Yi, I've come to see you!"

Cheng Ke'er called out to Ji Daoyi's room several times, but Ji Daoyi was nowhere to be seen.

"That's strange. Usually, if I call out to them a few times, they'll come out. Why is there no response today?"

"Could he have gone out? But that doesn't make sense, didn't he say he wasn't going out to refine pills lately?"

Just as Cheng Ke'er was wondering where Ji Daoyi had gone, Ji Daoyi, He Shaojie, and Liu Wan'er had already been taken to an alchemy room by Dan Daozi.

When Ji Daoyi came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

Compared to He Shaojie and Liu Wan'er, Ji Daoyi seemed more curious and shocked.

Liu Wan'er kept pondering in her mind, "Why would Grandmaster Uncle appear next to Ji Daoyi's house by such a coincidence? Has he been keeping an eye on him all along? Isn't it rumored that Grandmaster Uncle doesn't like Ji Daoyi? Could it be that those rumors were made up by Ye Fan and his people, and Grandmaster Uncle has already tacitly accepted Ji Daoyi as our senior brother?"

"What should we do? Did our grandmaster bring us here to stand up for Ji Daoyi?"

He Shaojie was no better off than Liu Wan'er at this time, and his mind was filled with suspicion.

The main problem is that we only see the elders a few times a year. They either often go into seclusion or their whereabouts are unpredictable, and they are usually very mysterious.

They usually don't care about the affairs between these younger generations, so it seems suspicious that they suddenly have to act as notaries for them.

Ji Dao was shocked by Dan Daozi's teleportation technique, which made him unaware of the change in time and space. It was as if he had just blinked and opened his eyes to find himself in a different environment.

"Is this the power of the Dao Master Realm? I wonder when I will be able to reach this level!"

Shocked, he also became wary. Ji Daoyi did not believe that Dan Daozi's sudden appearance was just to act as a notary.

"Could it be that my grandmaster is with them, trying to embarrass me and force me to leave? Or is he not from the same faction as my master, and wants to drive me away to suppress my master's faction?"

Ji Daoyi observed Liu Wan'er and Shao Jie's expressions and found that they were also surprised and puzzled by Dan Daozi's appearance.

"Judging from their expressions, they obviously didn't know that their grandmaster would appear at that time, so they weren't summoned by their grandmaster."

Just as Ji Daoyi and his two companions were wandering in the heavens, secretly speculating, Dan Daozi interrupted their thoughts.

"Since the three of you want to compete and determine who is better, it would be unfair to the other side if you set the questions yourselves. To be fair, I, as your grand-uncle, will personally set the questions for you. What do you think?"

Ji Daoyi and the other two exchanged glances, then said in unison, "We will leave it all to our Grandmaster Uncle!"

Dan Daozi nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the three people's answers.

"We will divide this competition into two categories: alchemy and martial arts!"

"Grandmaster Uncle, I understand alchemy, but what's this martial arts competition? Surely we're not going to have one-on-one duels in a ring?" He Shaojie stepped forward and bowed as he asked.

"Of course... no!! You'll find out in time. Now I'll talk about alchemy."

"I will divide alchemy into three stages, each corresponding to a different grade of pill, for a total of three stages!" Dan Daozi said, then looked at Ji Daoyi with deep and majestic eyes.

“Ji Daoyi, you just boasted to them that they could compete in whatever they wanted, and that you would help Yun Tian properly test his disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Dao blushed. He hadn't expected that Dan Daozi would overhear his heartfelt words and repeat them in front of him.

"Since you're so confident, I'll naturally be stricter with you than with the other two. You won't have any objections, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Daoyi nearly coughed up blood, realizing that his earlier boastful words had become a stumbling block.

"No...no objection! It's entirely up to Grandmaster Uncle to decide!"

"very good!"

"Ji Daoyi, for each round of alchemy, I will only provide you with one portion of spiritual herbs. In addition, you must refine more high-quality pills than the other two in each round, otherwise you will lose this competition! Liu Wan'er and He Shaojie, for each round of alchemy, I will prepare three portions of spiritual herbs for you. That is to say, you have three chances, but during the competition, you can only choose one portion of spiritual herbs to refine into a pill for the competition!"

"Liu Wan'er, He Shaojie, do you two have any objections?"

"no!"

Liu Wan'er and He Shaojie naturally had no objections. Dan Daozi's demands were all in their favor. It seemed as if Ji Daoyi had offended Dan Daozi, otherwise why would he be treated this way?

When Ji Dao heard that Dan Daozi was so biased towards Liu Wan'er and He Shaojie, although he was dissatisfied, it also reignited the nameless fire in his heart. He wanted to prove that even with only one spiritual medicine, he was stronger than others.

Dan Daozi looked at the three people in front of him, taking in their expressions, but no one knew what Dan Daozi was thinking at that moment.

"Since you all have no questions, the first round of the alchemy competition will begin. You will need to refine a Body Strengthening Pill within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

After Dan Daozi finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and three alchemy furnaces appeared out of thin air not far away, along with the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Body Strengthening Pill.

Ji Dao was taken aback when he heard that Dan Daozi had asked them to refine a strengthening pill in this round. He hadn't expected that Dan Daozi would ask them to refine it in the first round!

The Strengthening Pill is one of the more difficult pills to refine among the initial level of the second grade, and its difficulty is no less than that of the advanced level of the second grade.

The reason why the Strengthening Pill is difficult to refine is because it contains a spiritual herb called Iron Stone Fruit, which is very difficult to purify. The alchemist needs to have very precise control over the heat and adjust the temperature according to the color change of the Iron Stone Fruit. If the alchemist is not careful, the fruit will be ruined and the process will fail.

Even a second-grade high-level alchemist might not succeed in purifying the Iron Stone Fruit on their first attempt.

Neither Liu Wan'er nor He Shaojie expected that Dan Daozi would ask them to refine the Body Strengthening Pill. Although it was difficult to refine, they had three portions of spiritual medicine, which gave them more opportunities to try and fail.

The expressions on their faces when they looked at Ji Daoyi showed sympathy, clearly indicating that they also knew about the Strengthening Pill!
