An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Everyone was shocked!

The guards, including Xin Kuan, knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists with their hands, and bowed their heads in salute.

The Lord of Shangyang City has ordered that anyone under the jurisdiction of Shangyang City who encounters an alchemist of rank five or above must meet the Lord of the City to pay homage.

Xu Fu had a look of astonishment on his face. He found that he understood Yu Qinglan less and less. The woman in front of him disguised as a man was actually a fifth-grade alchemist? For such a young person to reach such a state, it is true that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

Yu Qinglan frowned impatiently, grabbed the token offered by Xin Kuan, and pulled Xu Fu into the "Qian" door.

After walking through a corridor several feet long, a huge open space appeared in front of the two of them. In the center of the nearly 20-foot-square field were placed more than a dozen brass furnaces of the same standard. There were tables and chairs beside the furnaces. There was an alchemist who arrived before the two of them. He was sitting next to an alchemy furnace with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard someone coming in, he only glanced at him and did not get up to say hello.

Outside the venue was a newly renovated stand, and many people were already sitting around it. There is an exquisite attic directly north of the stand. There are only two maids waiting there. It is estimated that it is reserved for some important person.

Under the guidance of two pretty maids, Xu and Fu each sat down next to an alchemy furnace.

After Xu Fu handed the box containing red mud to Yu Qinglan, he looked up and saw He Lang and the Ji brothers and sisters walking to the stands under the attic.

Seeing Xu Fu sitting in the field, the three people had different expressions on their faces. Ji Changhe's face was full of surprise, while He Lang's face was livid, his eyes were gloomy, and he kept waving the jade-bone white paper fan in his hand. Ji Qingrou's face turned red and white, pretending not to see Xu Fu, staring at an alchemy furnace not knowing what she was thinking.

It was still early, and Xu Fu had nothing to do for a while. It felt uncomfortable to be stared at by many people. Xu Fu regretted coming so early.

Xu Fu simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, reciting the Jingxin Jue silently in his heart, turning a deaf ear to the noise around him, and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but Xu Fu was woken up by the sound of drums. When Xu Fu opened his eyes, he saw several people sitting in the attic directly in front of him. As soon as the drums sounded, the noisy venue immediately became quiet.

"All the alchemists have come from afar to make our Shangyang City flourish." A middle-aged man with a rather majestic temperament stood on the attic and said loudly. Xu Fu was not close to the attic, but the voice seemed to be in his ears. It sounded very clear.

Xu Fu glanced at Yu Qinglan. She was playing with a spirit fire fold in her hand and didn't know what she was thinking. The other alchemists were sitting upright at this time, listening to the man's words very carefully.

"I, Xing Shande, have just temporarily taken over the position of Lord of Shangyang City. Today, the Danyuan Conference, please do your best. Regardless of victory or defeat, you are all honored guests of Shangyang City. I hereby announce that the Danyuan Conference has officially begun! "

The Lord of Xing City did not talk too much nonsense. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fu heard a burst of cheers from the stands. Many people came to occupy their seats early in the morning. After waiting for so long, it finally started.

After Xing Shande announced the start, a row of girls wearing uniforms immediately entered the venue, each pushing a wooden frame equipped with wooden wheels. After they pushed the wooden frame next to each alchemy furnace, they bowed their heads and left.

Xu Fu didn't need to look to know that the shelves were full of medicinal materials, and the strong medicinal smell could be smelled from a long distance away.

What opened Xu Fu's eyes was that there was actually a Green Cloud Grass on each medicine shelf. This was a real fourth-grade elixir. Now that he had taken out more than a dozen of them at once, he had to admire the generosity of the City Lord's Mansion.

Next to the Qingyun grass, there was another page of paper, pressed with a spiritual box. Xu Fu took it off and took a look, and was even more shocked. The paper was densely filled with small characters. This was actually a prescription for Qingyundan, the prescription of Qingyundan. .

The prescription of Qingyundan is one of the prescriptions collected by Li Danxin. Xu Fu has long memorized it, so he knew it was real after just a few glances. This made Xu Fu even more confused about the Lord's Mansion of Shangyang City.

You must know that this elixir recipe is the capital for an alchemist to settle down, especially the elixir recipe above the fourth grade, which can be said to be hard to find. However, the Lord of Shangyang City has now made the elixir recipe public, just to hold such an elixir. Although the conference could attract many alchemists and greatly enhance the reputation of Shangyang City, Xu Fu still felt that it was a bit luxurious.

However, it was not his own family that was ruined anyway. Xu Fu was too lazy to worry about others. He carefully checked the medicinal materials. After confirming that they were correct, he glanced at Yu Qinglan not far away. At this time, she still looked leisurely. , did not pay attention to the upcoming competition at all, and it was right to think about it. It was not easy for a fifth-grade alchemist to refine a fourth-grade elixir.

"The elixir recipe for this competition has been handed over to the alchemists. Please check it carefully..."

The city lord has now sat back in the elegant seat in the attic. Xu Fu, who is presiding over the conversation at this time, also knows that it is Xing Zhou from Yi Baoxing. Under the spotlight, Xing Zhou still spoke calmly and forcefully, which sounded very pleasant to the ears.

"The time is limited to noon, please pay attention to all the alchemists..."

Xing Zhou was giving some instructions, while the alchemists in the field were already busy working on their own.

Xu Fu was not to be outdone. Since he had come to participate in the Alchemy Conference, he couldn't slack off. He was a disciple of the "No. 1 Alchemist of Shaoshang City" and he couldn't disgrace his master.

Except for Green Cloud Grass, all the other required auxiliary medicines on the medicine shelf are sufficient. The first step is to weigh the medicinal materials to avoid being in a hurry when refining the elixir. Almost all alchemists have this habit.

While selecting the medicinal materials, he glanced at Yu Qinglan and saw that Yu Qinglan was already preparing to light the alchemy furnace. The light pink fire in her hand looked like a blooming flower, and it was the cherry blossom fire given by Xu Fu.

I saw her using the cherry blossom fire to ignite the spiritual wood and then put it into the alchemy furnace. She pressed the alchemy furnace with her left hand and the cherry blossom fire immediately burst into flames. The color of the "red mud" skin quickly became darker. In just a few breaths, The blue is enough to heat up the alchemy furnace.

Afterwards, Yu Qinglan began to throw medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace. Her technique seemed nothing at first glance, but after a while, many alchemists were shocked. They stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Yu Qinglan as she refined the elixir.

I saw her left hand constantly changing her mudra, and her right hand, without weighing it, kept grabbing medicinal materials and putting them into the alchemy furnace. Finally, after putting the green cloud grass into the alchemy furnace, she covered the alchemy furnace. The whole process was done smoothly, without thinking, and in one go.

Not just Xu Fu, almost everyone's eyes were attracted. Even people who knew nothing about alchemy felt extremely happy watching it.

After doing this, Yu Qinglan glanced at Xu Fu. Xu Fu came back to his senses and started working quickly, but there was another doubt in his heart.

"Her method..."

Xu Fu didn't have time to think carefully, he was already focused on his own pill furnace. Unlike Yu Qinglan, his moves are not faster than other alchemists, and are even a minute slower than most alchemists present. His process is also quite satisfactory and inconspicuous at all.

This was Xu Fu's intention. There is only one Blue Cloud Grass. This competition is not about who is faster. The most important thing is refinement. Moreover, Xu Fu clearly felt that most people in the field have been affected by Qing Lan. , the hands unconsciously speed up, but once the familiar alchemy rhythm changes, it is easy to cause problems.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two alchemists in a row had "furnace explosions" and quit the competition in frustration.

"Exploding the furnace" is a joking name. It is a common situation in which alchemists fail to make alchemy due to improper use of fire. Because the top cover of the alchemy furnace often bounces off, just like the elixir exploding in the furnace, it is nicknamed "explosive furnace". "Fryer".

When Xu Fu first learned to make alchemy, he often exploded furnaces. He was very familiar with this sound. Hearing the sound of "exploding furnaces" behind him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "This is a fourth-grade elixir, how can it be so easy?"

Xu Fu was still making preparations in an orderly manner when he heard a burst of excitement in the stands.

Xu Fu was puzzled and turned his head, only to see a large cloud of blue-white smoke rising from Qinglan's side. Was it going to become a pill?

"It doesn't seem to be too difficult for experts."

Xu Fu smiled helplessly at this and looked no further.

After a few breaths, Yu Qinglan's Qingyun Pill was freshly baked amidst the cheers of the onlookers, and was then led to rest elsewhere.

Without Yu Qinglan, Xu Fu felt more at ease. Everything was ready, and then he started to open the furnace, start the fire, put the medicine, and refine it without any distractions.

It has not been long since his cultivation reached the fifth level, and Xu Fu has not yet deeply felt the changes in himself. Now that he is using the spirit fire to refine elixirs, he can feel his improvement.

Nowadays, when controlling slow fire, there is almost no loss of spiritual power.

Xu Fu understood that this was just an illusion. In fact, his spiritual power recovery speed could catch up with the loss of spiritual power. This was the state that could only be achieved by fifth-level cultivation.

Xu Fu sighed at the magic of the Chaos Mind Technique, and felt secretly happy in his heart. He actually learned such a magical technique!

As time went on, people would leave from time to time because they failed to refine the elixir, but there were also a few people who successfully refined the Qingyun elixir.

By three o'clock in the morning, Xu Fu was the only one still making elixirs in the field.

He was seen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed tightly. If it weren't for the occasional fingerprints on Xu Fu's hands, everyone would have thought he was asleep. Naturally, the spectators in the stands couldn't stand this boring wait, and the voices of doubt became louder and louder. Come more and more.

"Can you do it?"

"That's right, don't waste everyone's time!"

"I think he is probably just faking it!"

……

"Sure enough, he is a liar! I just said how can a stinky beggar become an alchemist! Has his identity been revealed?" Ji Qingrou said in a cold voice with a look of pride on her face as she swept away the previous gloom.

"Brother Xu won't pretend to be an alchemist, right? This is a serious crime!" Ji Changhe said with some worry.

"What does he, a stinky beggar, know?"

Ji Qingrou said disdainfully: "Besides, have you heard of anyone who can advance to the fourth level of alchemy master in less than half a year?"

"This……"

Ji Changhe was speechless for a while. After all, the fact that Xu Fu became a fourth-grade alchemist was really unbelievable. Although he didn't want to believe that Xu Fu was pretending to be an alchemist, he really couldn't think of anything to say to refute his sister.

"These shameless people should be punished by everyone!"

He Lang, who was on the side, had long been impatient. He suspected from the beginning that Xu Fu must have picked up a fourth-level alchemist's ring from somewhere and sneaked in. Even if he failed to refine it, he could still get the courtesy of the city lord.

Xu Fu didn't hear the noise around him at all. He was immersed in refining the elixir at this time.

In fact, even if you play steadily, you don't need to spend so much time. But since you started to activate the spiritual fire, Xu Fu discovered an extremely magical thing.

Xu Fu, who could only improve his cultivation through refining spiritual objects, suddenly felt an influx of spiritual power while refining the elixir.

It’s the spiritual power contained in Qingyun Grass!

Unexpectedly, in the process of using the Chaos Mind Method to refine elixirs, the spiritual power of the Qingyun Grass in the elixir furnace could be absorbed through the medium of spiritual fire.

Xu Fu was mixed with joy and sorrow. He was happy that he could practice while refining the elixir, but he couldn't help but feel worried. He was worried that the spiritual power in the spiritual grass was obtained by himself, so how could he make the elixir?

As a last resort, Xu Fu had no choice but to try his best to slow down the operation of the technique and reduce the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, hoping that the elixir would be formed quickly.

By the time it was almost noon, the spectators in the stands had lost the spirit to complain, and the stadium was actually much quieter.

With the sound of "dang", everyone became energetic. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, there was finally a result.

Xu Fu patted the alchemy furnace open and waited for the smoke to dissipate.

Everyone looked at Xu Fu expectantly, wanting to see what he could come out of the alchemy furnace. If he took out a handful of black ash, he would have to scold him, even a fourth-grade alchemist. Such a toy with people.

"Has it become a pill?"

Everyone was surprised to find that Xu Fu took out a blue elixir from the elixir furnace and put it into the jade box, and then sat back down honestly.

"Just one?"

Everyone was surprised again. This was too few. The previous alchemist had produced at least three pills. Yu Qinglan even took out seven spiritual pills in one go. Xu Fu spent a long time and only managed to refine one pill. Come.

However, since he can refine the elixir, it means that Xu Fu is a genuine alchemist. Out of respect for the alchemist, no one in the stands is criticizing Xu Fu anymore. After all, no matter where he goes, the status of a fourth-level alchemist is still very high. , especially this is Shangyang City.

"That's definitely not a fourth-grade elixir! Who knows what kind of ball he made?"

Ji Qingrou was indignant. Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she would never believe that Xu Fu would be a fourth-grade alchemist.

He Lang's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Ji Changhe looked at his sister deeply, sighed slightly, and said nothing.

"The competition at the Alchemy Conference is over. Let's ask Elder Mu from the Alchemy Alliance to test the elixirs for all the alchemists!"

Xing Zhou's loud voice spread throughout the audience, causing a commotion.

"Elder Mu?"

"Which Elder Mu? How can there be an elder in the Dan Alliance in Shangyang City?"

"Never heard of it!"

……

"It's Mu Xian, the youngest Alchemy King in the world today!"

Someone in the field guessed the mysterious middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the attic. After the middle-aged man stood up, he smiled and waved to the stands on both sides.

The stands immediately burst into cheers, and the spectators in the field became extremely enthusiastic, and the cheers came like a mountain and a tsunami.

"Mu...Xian?"

Xu Fu swallowed hard and calmed down the panic in his heart. The name kept echoing in his ears, and for a moment he was at a loss.

The longer he practiced, the more Xu Fu could feel the gap between grades. Eighth grade! This is still a height that Xu Fu cannot imagine.

We must leave this place as soon as possible, Xu Fu thought in his heart. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Mu Xian glanced this way intentionally or unintentionally. Xu Fu immediately realized that if he left now, it would be too conspicuous. Either he was guilty of committing a crime or not. What?

"Why is he here?"

Xu Fu never thought that he would meet this "senior brother" so early. What puzzled Xu Fu the most was how could a high-ranking figure like Alchemy King condescend to judge a group of fourth- and fifth-grade alchemists?

Could it be that there are other reasons?
