Chapter 422: Chapter 422. This servant must not die in vain

Ancient Alchemy?

If Lu fan knew that this emissary from the upper realm was thinking this way, he would probably laugh out loud.

The upgraded “Alchemy Manual”was indeed a high-level alchemy technique. However, the alchemy manual recorded more of the experience and understanding of alchemy. As for the technique.., it still needed to be fumbled through failures again and again.

Because from the beginning, Lu fan had only thrown a pot to Ni Yu, making ni Yu walk further and further on the path of alchemy using the black pot. Now, she couldn’t stop.

Ni Yu had always used the black pot in alchemy. Through repeated failures and explosions, she learned the black pot alchemy skill that was most suitable for her.

The ancient alchemy technique was definitely not the same. It could only be said that this was an alchemy technique that Ni Yu had created herself.

Raising his hand and pressing his ears, Lu fan smiled lightly.

All these years, Ni Yu had been putting on a lot of airs on the Lake Heart Island. Lu fan often heard the clanking sound of Ni Yu refining pills with the pot.

At first, Lu fan was not used to it. Later, he gradually got used to the sound of the Black Pot smashing onto the ground.

It brought some excitement and noise to the quiet lake island.

But now, this girl went to the alchemy competition to harm other people. Lu Fan was gloating in his heart.

He took a sip of the plum wine in the bronze wine glass.

Lu fan continued to watch the alchemy competition.

..

It was smashed, but it was also thrown.

Ni Yu began the third step of the alchemy, brewing.

The black wok floated in front of her. In the Black Wok, the densely packed pills were like raindrops, constantly colliding with the Black Wok’s wall, constantly emitting crisp sounds.

Finally, the square became quiet. Many alchemists, whose eyes were red, calmed down.

Golden Gravel continued to flow down, as if time had passed and could not be retrieved.

The pill refinement in the square was gradually approaching its end.

Out of so many participants in the competition, more than half of them had been eliminated, and these were the alchemists who had passed the preliminaries from many high martial arts worlds.

Everyone stared at the remaining alchemists in the square.

The gravel in the hourglass was about to reach the bottom. Once the time was up, those who had not yet refined the pill would also be judged as failures and deprived of their dao reserves.

It was as if they could sense that time was about to pass.

Therefore, many alchemists sped up their progress.

However, speeding up the progress also meant that mistakes were easy to make.

More and more people failed. After all, a grade six pill was not an ordinary pill. It was not as easy to refine as they had imagined.

Even many alchemists who could refine a grade six pill would spend a long time and experience failure after failure before they could form the pill.

Refining pills like this type of competition tested one’s state of mind and state of mind.

And the state of mind of the alchemists present was once again affected by that fat girl who was refining pills with a wok. As a result, the failure rate became higher and higher.

Outside the square, numerous gazes were cast onto it.

There were the worried gazes of the five Phoenix cultivators, the mocking gazes of many experts from the high martial world, and the alchemists who had finished refining the pills and were looking at it with their usual hearts.

Most People’s gazes fell on the young girl who had closed her eyes and was using her spiritual sense to brew the pills in the black pot. She had baby fat on her.

She was the only alchemist of the High Martial World born in the Void Heaven.

No matter how gorgeous this girl had been, if she was unable to form the pills within the stipulated time, she would still fail.

Within the hourglass, a handful of gravel quietly scattered.

Suddenly.

The chubby girl opened her eyes.

Gulp!

That was the sound of thunder coming from the girl’s abdomen.

The girl’s eyes shone brightly, and her spiritual sense rippled.

Then, she raised her hand, grabbed the black pot with one hand, and fiercely smashed it onto the green stone paved square.

Dong!

A muffled explosion sounded.

“Heya!”

Ni Yu shouted, and both her palms slapped onto the black pot.

The densely packed medicinal pills poured out of the black pot like a rainstorm. They were like the flowers of a fairy scattering out from the black pot.

Exclamations sounded both inside and outside the venue.

This was a genuine shock.

After all..

Such a large quantity of medicinal pills was simply beyond the expectations of all alchemists.

The higher the quality of the medicinal pills, the more scarce the quantity of medicinal pills produced.

For example, for a grade 6 flower gathering pill, it would be very good if ten pills could be produced in a single batch.

For a scene like Ni Yu’s, which was filled with pills, it was truly rare.

This was pill refinement, not cooking rice!

The cultivators of the five phoenixes cheered one after another, pleasantly surprised.

They were playing with the heartbeat.

Almost all the sand in the hourglass was about to fall.

At this final juncture, it was finally completed.

Qi Liujia heaved a sigh of relief. The new emperor, Tantai he, who stood on the high platform and watched the square, could not help but wave his fist.

Beyond the sky, in the void, a regretful sigh was emitted.

A figure flickered.

A servant from the upper realm appeared by Ni Yu’s side.

He had his hands behind his back and the noble robe on his body was spotless.

He stretched out a hand and pinched a pill.

“A sixth grade pill, flower gathering pill. The quality can only be said to be below average. However, it can at least be considered to have formed a pill.”

The servant said.

The moment his words fell, it meant that Ni Yu had advanced to the second round.

The servant glanced at Ni Yu and waited for Ni Yu to cheer.

However..

His eyes could not help but shrink slightly.

He discovered that Ni Yu had grabbed a bunch of flower gathering pills and stuffed them into her mouth. She kept chewing on them, as if she was a beggar who had been hungry for three days and three nights.

The surrounding alchemists were also stunned.

Could it be that this girl had given out such a huge pot of pills just to fill her stomach?

Also… This was a grade-6 pill. It contained an extremely terrifying amount of energy. An ordinary person would be prone to problems if they ate a single pill. Yet, this girl was actually stuffing a bunch of pills into her mouth?

Wasn’t she afraid that she would find something wrong with the pill?

The servant glanced at Ni Yu and frowned in disgust. In the next moment, his figure flashed as he charged toward the other apothecaries who had failed.

He no longer paid any attention to Ni Yu who was consuming the pill.

After the pill was completed, he left the matter to her.

For an apothecary of the five Phoenixes to advance to the second round of the pill forging competition, this was out of everyone’s expectations.

After all, no one had expected that a little girl, who was carrying a black pot on her shoulders, would actually forcefully make it into the second round.

Although the minor alchemy competition stipulated that the strength of an alchemist was only below that of a mighty figure, but..

Even many mighty figure alchemists had failed and fallen in the first round.

“She was just lucky.”

“Didn’t you hear the Lords of the upper realm say that the quality of the pills that this little girl refined could only be said to be at the middle and lower levels? She just passed the test by luck.”

“Humph! This is unseemly. She has lost the face of an alchemist. In the second round, she will definitely be eliminated.”

One alchemist after another had cold faces. Many of the alchemists who were eliminated were even more furious.

Ni Yu returned to Qi Liujia’s side.

Li Sansui smiled gently at Ni Yu.

Ah Lu rubbed his head and smiled in an incomparably simple and honest manner. “Amazing!”

Ni Yu smacked her lips. “The pills are not bad, but they lack sweetness.”

Everyone was speechless.

“Rest well. The second round will only be more difficult. If I’m not wrong, the second round will be a pill refinement competition.”

“The winner can strip the opponent of the Essence Dao reserves they have bet on. If they fail… They will be stripped.”

Qi Liujia said solemnly.

He looked at the empty square of the pill concocting competition and did not look relaxed at all.

“Therefore, the second round is very important to Ni Yu. As long as he wins, even if he fails in the third round of the pill concocting competition, it doesn’t matter… the Dao reserve he gained and the Dao reserve he lost can cancel each other out.”

Qi Liujia analyzed.

Ni Yu nodded solemnly and sat down cross-legged. She took out a large bag of pills and began to eat them.

Qi Liujia looked at Ni Yu, and a hint of love flashed in his eyes.

Although ni Yu followed young master to cultivate pill refinement techniques, it was a pity..

How could she compare to the pill refinement geniuses of Gao Yan’s High Martial World? It was already pretty good that she could pass the first round. Hopefully, she would not end up in a miserable state in the second round.

Thinking of this, Qi Liujia raised her head and looked at Li Sansui in the distance.

Li Sansui was in a tense state. She was under a lot of pressure.

This was because she knew that in this small competition of array formations, it was very likely that she would encounter her former senior brothers.

Li Sansui knew very well why Qi Liujia had ended up in such a state. Therefore, she had to defeat those senior brothers in order to give Qi Liujia face and dignity.

“Relax…”

Just as Li Sansui’s body tensed up, Qi Liujia’s gentle voice drifted over.

Li Sansui was stunned.

“Master…”

“You just need to show your strength. Don’t take the outcome too seriously.”

Qi Liujia said with a smile.

“Moreover, with your strength, you can definitely pass the first round easily.”

Dong!

As expected, Qi Liujia’s words had just sounded.

The sound of a bell ringing could be heard from the square of the array formation competition.

The sound seemed to reverberate throughout the entire five phoenixes.

The cultivators of the five phoenixes became spirited. In the sky, there were battleships, spirit boats, and the backs of birds of prey. Human figures accompanied by loud laughter floated out.

Xiu Xiu Xiu!

Compared to alchemists, the number of formation masters was also quite a lot. In fact, there were even a little more.

“Master, I’m going.”

Li Sansui stood up. The Daoist robe on his body fluttered in the wind as he said seriously.

On the formation square, many formation masters landed.

On the other side, the competition between the weapon forging masters also began. Ah Lu left and stepped onto the square of the weapon forging competition.

..

The competition between array masters was not as complicated as the competition between alchemists. In fact, the first round did not require the construction of any array formation. What was needed was to break the array formation.

The servants arranged the illusory array formation prepared by the array masters of the upper realm. Those who could break the array formation before the hourglass ran out could advance to the second round.

The rules were very simple, but no one felt relaxed because no one knew if the illusory array prepared by the array masters of the upper realm was a simple illusory array.

Qi Liujia let out a sigh of relief. The rules of the first round had let him guess. He believed that Li Sansui would be able to break out of the formation easily.

Buzz..

The formation began to operate.

In just an instant, every array master on the square was bound by the shackles formed by the array patterns. Only by breaking the shackles could they be considered to have broken the formation.

The square was extremely quiet. This time, the cultivators from the other worlds did not mock the five phoenixes.

After all, Li Sansui and Ah Lu were both relatively normal participants.

As for Ni Yu, what the Heck was that.

How could they not mock the fatty who was carrying the blame?

Qi Liujia stared at the square where the array formation competition was taking place with a solemn gaze. Even though he trusted Li Sansui very much, he was still a little nervous.

As for Ah Lu’s casting competition, Qi Liujia didn’t pay attention to it because Gongshu Yu was paying attention to it.

Just as Qi Liujia was looking forward to it and staring at the square.

A figure seemed to appear silently behind him.

Qi Liujia’s body slightly stiffened.

A face seemed to be moving closer to his side.

Qi Liujia’s aged face full of wrinkles slightly tilted to the side and looked at the face beside him.

It was a face as white as jade and extremely gentle.

“Master, long time no see. You seem to be in good spirits.”

The gentle voice sounded as if it was caressing a warm round bead.

It was a young man, a handsome and tall young man. Qi Liujia’s aged and hunched body formed a sharp contrast with him.

In the distance.

Ni Yu’s action of taking the pills seemed to slow down slightly.

Because she could feel the killing intent.

It was Qi Liujia’s killing intent.

Boom!

Qi Liujia’s primordial spirit fluctuations spread out, shaking the young man away.

The young man wore a wanton and loose robe. His body floated out, stepping on the ground of the bloody battlefield.

“Fourth.”

Qi Liujia looked at the young man with a cold expression.

If Qi Liujia hated the most out of the ten disciples, perhaps… it would be this fourth brother.

The owner of the ‘Zhe’word formation!

He looked like a gentle young master, but in fact, his heart was as vicious as a poisonous snake.

The young man’s hair spread gently. He looked at Qi Liujia and smiled gently. “Master is still as impatient as ever.”

“Just you?”

Qi Liujia narrowed his eyes.

“That’s right. The other senior brothers and junior brothers have all been taken in by the powerhouses of the upper realm. I’m the only one left…”

The young man said indifferently, and there was actually a hint of unwillingness in his tone.

“Why… Why did master give me the ‘Zhe’word formation language back then and not give me a better formation language?”

“That’s why I have to participate in this boring array formation competition now! Only in this way can I obtain the recognition of the upper realm!”

The young man stared at Qi Liujia, and a trace of resentment flashed through his warm eyes.

Qi Liujia smiled.

“There’s no difference between the strong and the weak in a nine-character array word… it’s just that your innate talent is trash.”

Qi Liujia said indifferently.

The malevolence on the young man’s face disappeared, but he recovered some of his calmness.

He turned his head to look at the square.

“I heard that you took in another junior sister? It just so happens that the appearance of a junior sister makes this boring array competition a little more interesting.”

The young man laughed lightly, and his laughter lingered in Qi Liujia’s ears like the voice of a devil.

“I will treat junior sister well during the competition and let her feel peaceful despair…”

The young man grinned like a poisonous snake.

In the next moment, his body trembled and he suddenly disappeared.

Ni Yu carefully ran over while stuffing pills into her mouth. She looked at Qi Liujia who was in a daze and asked curiously, “Who is this fellow?”

Qi Liujia closed his eyes and opened them in the next moment. He regained some of his calmness, “Situ Gui, my fourth disciple. He is currently serving in the Xue Sha Heaven’s Yan Sixth Rank Holy Land.”

“Situ Gui? What an ugly name…”

Ni Yu muttered and stopped paying attention to him.

Worry appeared in Qi Liujia’s eyes.

He looked at the square. Li Sansui was still trapped in the formation shackles, trying his best to break through the illusory realm.

Situ Gui had already broken through the illusory realm. He even appeared in front of him and chatted with him for a while.

The difference in strength between the two sides… was a little big.

..

Origin Lake, Lake Heart Island.

Lu fan didn’t continue to pay attention to this professional competition. After watching Ni Yu participate in the alchemy competition, Lu fan lost his interest.

HM?

Lu fan sensed that there seemed to be quite a number of people who had sneakily passed through the bloody battlefield and descended to the five phoenixes.

Lu fan smiled at this.

While drinking, he raised his hand and pressed it on the armguard of the wheelchair.

Buzz..

The silver light suddenly burst out and turned into streaks of flowing light.

Puchi!

Puchi!

The silver light appeared everywhere in the five phoenixes.

Along with the exploding blood flowers.

The cultivators who had sneaked into the five phoenixes were all killed silently. The silver light came too quickly, not to mention that it carried a strange force that they could not resist.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

These corpses fell into the vast sea, deep into the mountains, and into the snow..

Their blood dyed everything red.

The primordial spirits of these experts wanted to break free, but the brilliance that erupted from the silver blades instantly molded their primordial spirits into statues..

Just like the primordial spirit stage in the vast sea.

As for the bodies of these mighty figures, they were decomposed and turned into pure energy that surged into the five Phoenixes’heaven and earth.

Outside the ancient tomb.

A figure with a hazy expression appeared.

This was the servant of the upper realm emissary on the ancient battleship.

“The tomb of the ancient era…”

The servant let out a murmur.

Suddenly.

His body tilted slightly.

Boom!

A silver light whizzed over, cutting through the air as if it was going to cut through space.

However, the servant was not weak and narrowly avoided this sharp blade.

The silver blade slashed into the vast ocean, creating shocking waves.

The servant calmly looked at the silver blade.

“A slightly powerful power… is this new high-level martial sacred master?”

“Sacred Master of this realm… is truly impudent.”

The servant said indifferently.

In the next moment, the robe on his body started to float as if he wanted to give the owner of the silver blade a little shock.

However, just as the servant was about to make a move…

The ancient tomb opened.

Boom!

A large skeletal hand stretched out from the ancient tomb.

The servant’s body trembled. The oppressive pressure that made him unable to move directly hit his body.

In the sky, only a cold blood mist was left. The servant’s body was actually smashed into pieces.

His primordial spirit soared into the sky and rushed towards the blood-colored battlefield in the sky.

However, the faint sound of a zither drifted out from the ancient tomb.

The servant’s primordial spirit directly exploded, turning into a powerful storm and dissipating into the void.

The ancient tomb’s door emitted a distant sound as it slowly closed with a creaking sound.

On the island in the center of the lake.

Lu fan was quite interested. He waved his hand and the silver blade quickly returned.

These explorers weren’t very strong. Even the servant was only at the first level of primordial spirit unity.

It was as if they were afraid of alerting the enemy.

However, the only thing that Lu fan felt was a pity was that the servant’s immortal soul was shattered by the sound of the zither. It was a waste.

If he could build an immortal soul statue, he could help the five phoenixes give birth to another mighty figure.

Ancient battleship.

The moment the servant who entered the five phoenixes fell, every servant’s body trembled. They felt something and their eyes flashed with viciousness.

In the battleship, the upper realm emissary seemed to be laughing with interest.

Below, the first round of the array competition and the tool casting competition had ended.

Li Sansui and Ah Lu had both entered the second round.

The servant seemed to have received a voice transmission and respectfully walked to the front of the cabin. He folded his hands and pressed them against his abdomen, slightly bowing.

In the cabin, a voice that was not a smile floated out.

“Oh… make good arrangements for the five Phoenix contestants.”

“This servant can not die in vain.”
