Chapter 352 Sect Competition 3
"Senior Sister! Senior Brother Wen!"
Cheng Jiu caught a person who had fainted as they came out of the competition arena.
Clearly, this is a serious backlash from forcibly refining pills!
The two were in relatively good condition and were able to manage to walk out of the competition venue. Several other disciples had already been carried out before them!
Eighth-grade pills are still too much for the disciples who have managed to hold on until now!
Not only seventh-grade alchemists, but even eighth-grade alchemists couldn't hold on!
The situation in the arena is currently good. The only one with the best chance of refining an eighth-grade pill is Yao Lao's personal disciple, Senior Brother Yao Feng, An Qi!
This senior brother has been far ahead since the start of the competition, and his strength is obvious to all. He truly deserves the title of senior brother of Medicine Peak!
And now he is the only disciple who has stood out!
Everyone was completely convinced of the power of this senior disciple, Yaofeng!
All twenty-five disciples perished, leaving only An Qi to refine an eighth-grade pill. Although its grade was not high, it shone brightly and captivated the mind.
When the old master announced that his eldest disciple had won the first spot!
Even the usually calm and collected Anqi couldn't help but reveal a dazzling smile!
Nobody knows just how much pressure Anqi has been under since he started competing!
It's not just because of the Star Domain quota, but also because he is Yao Lao's disciple, the senior brother of Yao Peak, and the undisputed next leader of Yao Peak!
He has been a prominent figure since he participated in the competition, and countless eyes have been observing and watching him!
It seems they are judging whether he truly deserves the title of Senior Brother Yaofeng!
Therefore, he dared not slack off, and dared not fail to excel!
Now it's not just because he acquired the Star Domain name quota, but because he made a declaration to those people!
He Anqi, the senior brother of Yaofeng, truly lives up to his name and is beyond reproach!
The remaining nineteen spots will be decided in the additional competition, which will further combine the scores from the first two rounds to select the final nineteen spots!
Three full days are reserved for the contestants to rest and prepare.
The magnificent arena was deserted, with both humans and beasts scattered!
Cheng Jiu placed the two people on the little cloud beast and flew towards Yao Feng.
They've already been given medicine, and their internal injuries are healing, but they both need to rest now!
Alchemy competitions are truly a test of both mind and body, as well as ability!
It's truly remarkable that the two senior brothers and sisters have managed to hold on until now!
After putting the two people into their respective rooms, Cheng Jiu didn't leave. He specially asked the chef of the Mengxue school cafeteria to cook a nourishing medicinal meal so that the two could eat it when they woke up!
I need to replenish my nutrients over these three days!
Three days later, another grueling competition began.
The two slept for two days before waking up.
Yingyue saw Cheng Jiu sitting next to her and asked in a slightly sleepy, hoarse voice, "Junior Sister! How did the competition go?"
"Come on! Senior sister, have some nourishing medicinal food!" Cheng Jiu had a premonition that his senior sister would wake up, so he specially brought some medicinal food and put it in the room to simmer, just waiting for his senior sister to wake up so she could drink it!
"Delicious!" Yingyue held the bowl, sipped the drink, and looked at Cheng Jiu with her clear black and white eyes!
"Except for Senior Brother Anqi, everyone else in the competition was wiped out! Senior Sister, drink as much as you like, there's an overtime match tomorrow!"
"Has the content of the competition been mentioned?"
"I guess it will be similar to the last one! However, the elder said that the final nineteen people will be selected based on the results of the first two competitions. There should be a set number of competitions, and the quality of the pills will be compared with the results of the first two competitions!" Cheng Jiu judged based on what the elder said.
Yingse's complexion became a little rosier after eating the medicinal meal. Leaning against the headboard, she said, "I did well in the first competition, but only so-so in the second! It seems I have no chance?"
"Who said that? Senior sister, I think you have a very good chance. There are nineteen spots, and you only need to eliminate five more."
"With your skills, senior sisters, wouldn't this be a piece of cake?"
Seeing Cheng Jiu's serious analysis, Yingyue's mood improved: "Then I hope it's as you say, Junior Sister! By the way, where is your Senior Brother Wen?"
"His constitution isn't as good as yours, Senior Sister, and you're still dizzy!"
"Then tomorrow!" Yingyue's expression turned serious. If she couldn't make it to tomorrow's competition, wouldn't she be eliminated?
All that effort we've put in will be wasted!
"Don't worry, senior sister, I've checked, she should wake up by evening!"
Senior Sister Yingyue immediately relaxed: "That's good!"
I'm lying here, lying here. Although I've slept for two days, I still don't seem to have recovered my energy.
Before she could finish her conversation with Cheng Jiu, she had closed her eyes and fallen asleep again.
Feeling her senior sister's breathing gradually become steady and regular, Cheng Jiu also calmed down. Not wanting to disturb her rest, she tiptoed away.
You can tell they're really exhausted!
Three days of rest is definitely not enough!
When Wen Sishu opened his eyes, he saw his senior brother. Although many of Yao Lao's disciples participated in the competition, only Yingyue, Wen Sishu and An Qi made it to the finals!
Cheng Jiu couldn't keep taking care of Wen Sishu, so he entrusted Wen Sishu to An Qi, who had come to visit his junior brothers and sisters!
As his junior brother, An Qi naturally agreed without hesitation.
So now it's An Qi who's taking care of Wen Sishu!
Having already secured a spot, he hoped more than anyone else that his two junior brothers and sisters could win the last two spots.
Of course, he had hoped so before! If possible, he even hoped that the final would be an internal free-for-all among his junior teammates!
This was the expectation of the eldest brother, but unfortunately, apart from Wen Sishu and Yingyue, the others were all disappointing!
Yingyue and Wensishu were naturally his prized only children.
Although it was their first time participating in the competition, they both made it to the finals, proving their exceptional talent as recognized by their mentors.
"Senior Brother."
"Come, have some medicinal food first. This was specially prepared for you by Junior Sister Cheng Jiu."
Don't worry, the spots aren't completely decided yet; there's a playoff tomorrow!
As for what to say, everyone else except him was eliminated in the end, and An Qi felt he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Junior brother, your performance in the first two competitions was excellent, and your chances of winning a spot are very high!"
"Really?" Wen Sishu's eyes lit up, and she looked at her senior brother expectantly with a bright and lively expression!
Anqi was unequivocal in his affirmation!
Wen Sishu's lips curled up, her blood rushed to her head, and she was incredibly excited, wanting nothing more than to fly to tomorrow to participate in the competition!
"Junior brother, you need to rest well! Only by being in good spirits can you achieve good results tomorrow!"
"it is good!"
Wen Sishu was now in a very good position to be captured, and the senior brother never made a judgment lightly!
If there's a very high chance, then wouldn't that mean there's a 100% chance of getting it?
Wen Sishu suddenly opened her eyes.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?" An Qi, who was about to leave, saw Wen Sishu open his eyes again and asked with concern!
"Ugh! I can't sleep! Senior brother, just knock me out!"
Wen Sishu felt that her mind was completely occupied by her senior brother's affirmation, and she couldn't fall asleep at all!
An Qi: "..."
A chop to the neck!
My wish has been fulfilled!
Wen Sishu attained a peaceful sleep.
Senior Brother, you were really decisive in your actions!
Wen Sishu couldn't help but suspect that his senior brother's move was premeditated!
How could this be? He's such a gentle and reliable senior brother!
An Qi looked at his palm and chuckled, feeling great! He felt that all the anger he had suffered because of Wen Sishu had been resolved in this moment!
When Yingyue woke up the next day, she felt refreshed, while Wen Sishu felt a sore neck!
My hand accidentally touched my neck!
"Ouch!" Wen Sishu cried out in pain. How could his senior brother be so ruthless!
I should have taken a sleeping pill!
After taking a healing pill, all the fatigue and soreness disappeared!
As I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw Senior Sister Yingyue doing her morning exercises!
It's so rare; there haven't been any since the alchemy competition!
Wen Sishu walked over to Yingyue's side and joined her for morning exercises.
Half an hour before the competition, the two rode on the little ape beast and sped towards the competition venue!
The venue is the same as yesterday's, but most of the fire veins have been closed off, leaving only the fire veins in the middle of the field, a total of twenty-four!
These are the very spots that made it to the end, where the eighth-grade pills were the only ones left!
The competition is the same as yesterday, but the difference is that this time the best performer will win. If there is a tie, the winner will be determined by the performance in the first and second rounds!
This way, we won't see a situation like yesterday where one person advances while twenty-four others are eliminated!
Considering the situation of the disciples present, nine out of the ten rounds of the competition will involve refining seventh-grade pills, with the final round being eighth-grade.
If an eighth-grade pill is successfully refined, the winner will automatically be selected; otherwise, the winner will be chosen according to the rules.
Yingyue and Wensishu have a significant advantage in this kind of competition!
Because the two of them are rare alchemists who can refine top-grade pills. Although everyone present is a high-level alchemist, not everyone can refine top-grade pills!
Each person only has one entry for this competition; if you fail, you lose.
The final nineteen people were selected by combining the results of ten rounds!
The tolerance for error is quite low, or it's very high!
That's why every alchemist is extremely careful when refining pills!
Every failure could mean falling behind others!
The importance of stability and quality was fully demonstrated in this competition!
In terms of stability, quality, and success rate, Wen Sishu and Yingyue, who have received the inheritance of the Medicine Ancestor, are far ahead of the competition!
After Cheng Jiu's explanation, both of them gave up on trying to reach the final eighth-grade spirit pill!
Focus on the first nine furnaces, striving for perfection in refining the characters!
One batch after another of top-grade pills were taken out; even when there were occasional mistakes, only high-grade pills were produced.
This forced those eighth-grade alchemists to give up. They thought that with their eighth-grade strength, they could easily take the lead among the seventh-grade alchemists and eliminate those seventh-grade alchemists who made it to the finals!
Unexpectedly, two extraordinary alchemists emerged from the seventh-grade alchemists, producing batch after batch of top-grade pills!
They can't compare to them!
We mustn't let those two seventh-grade alchemists eliminate them!
Fortunately, both of them were at the Nascent Soul stage and could not refine eighth-grade pills.
But even they might not succeed in refining an eighth-grade elixir!
Thinking this way, even the eighth-grade alchemists themselves got involved!
No eighth-grade alchemist would give up on refining an eighth-grade pill!
The sounds of explosions from the oven rose and fell in succession!
The strong smell of burning made the other disciples feel at ease!
Yingyue and Wen Sishu could only watch helplessly as their senior brothers and sisters, who were eighth-grade alchemists, became the focus of their attention.
They wept with joy when they succeeded in refining, and they clung to their heads and cried when they failed!
But not a single senior brother or sister was willing to look at them!
Who's to blame for all this? It's all because of these two people!
To put it jokingly, a group of eighth-grade alchemists couldn't even compare to two seventh-grade alchemists when it came to refining seventh-grade pills!
This identity is just for show!
Miracles can happen under high pressure!
This time, three senior sisters and two senior brothers actually refined an eighth-grade pill and directly won the spot!
In previous years, it would have been a miracle to produce one pill in a single batch, but now five have appeared!
Just outrageous!
Wen Sishu was the second to be confirmed for advancement. With nine batches of top-grade seventh-rank pills, his strength speaks for itself!
Moreover, his performance in the previous two games was just as good!
Getting a spot is a sure thing!
Then there's Yingyue, who's a bit less skilled. There was a slight hiccup with the third batch of pills, resulting in only a high-grade pill. However, the eight batches of top-grade pills and one batch of high-grade pills still allowed her to successfully secure a spot.
Although the results in the second round were only average, the results in the first round were truly outstanding, and overall they can be considered excellent.
As she stepped off the stage, Yingyue threw herself into Cheng Jiu's arms: "Junior sister, did you see that! I won a spot!"
"I saw it! I saw it! Senior sister is amazing!"
"Tonight, Zhen Shan Tang! It's on me!"
"The new one that opened in town?"
"The newly opened one!" Yingyue nodded.
Cheng Jiu had heard about the newly opened Zhenshantang before.
It is said that a newly arrived eighth-rank spiritual chef started the business.
The dish is exceptionally sweet and delicious.
The disciples who tried it all said it was delicious!
Originally, Senior Sister Zhentian wanted to take them to try it, but they said they needed to make a reservation, so they couldn't go in the end!
It seems my senior sister still couldn't forget about it and made an appointment in advance.
"Then let's go quickly!" Wen Sishu's eyes lit up, and he pushed Yingyue away!
Good news! Delicious food awaits!
The three of them ate to their heart's content.
As expected of a newly highly regarded chef, he is able to outshine all the major restaurants in the city. He truly has some skill!
When I came out, the streetlights were just coming on, and the lights were illuminating the warm fire.
Pedestrians wore various masks as they strolled and enjoyed the scenery.
"Senior sister, what's going on here?" Cheng Jiu pointed to the cultivators wearing various masks and playing around, curious because she had never seen them before!
"Ah! Ah, this!" Yingyue looked at Wen Sishu for help, she hadn't been paying attention to her either!
Wen Sishu took out a jade slip: "Let me ask!"
Wen Sishu seemed to have asked something, and a blush slowly rose to her face!
Cheng Jiu saw the couple exchanging love knots and instantly understood!
Ah this!
"Today is the Red Phoenix Festival!" Wen Sishu said succinctly.
I felt extremely uncomfortable, and the glances from others seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
Especially when he looked at him, his senior sister, and junior sister Cheng Jiu, that unease instantly intensified!
Passersby gave Wen Sishu and his two somewhat intimate female disciples strange looks. "No wonder they're disciples of a major sect! They're enjoying the good life!"
"Senior sister, senior sister, let's hurry back to the sect!" Wen Sishu said repeatedly.
The young disciple, whose heart was still innocent and unaware of romantic feelings, felt completely out of place in such an environment.
“Okay!” Yingyue nodded.
Upon returning to Canglan Peak, Cheng Jiu was summoned up the mountain by his master.
"Master!" Cheng Jiu bowed.
"Hmm! Xiao Jiu, have you been busy lately?"
"No, Master, is there anything you need?"
"Yes, that's right!" Immortal Lord Qingxu nodded: "I want to ask you to go to Dingming City! A friend of mine has fallen in a secret realm, and his widow sent a message to invite me to his funeral."
I haven't been in contact with him for many years. He wouldn't have contacted me unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, I hope you can go to Dingming City and see if you can help in any way! So that after my friend's death, my widow and her children won't be left destitute and helpless!
