Chapter 133 One Arrow Many
“I think Mu Lingxuan’s chance of winning will be greater.”
Song Jie glanced at the two people on the Taoist forum who were concentrating on alchemy.
After hearing Song Jie’s answer, the alchemist asked curiously: “How did fellow Taoist Song see it?”
Several other alchemists heard the conversation between the two and turned their attention to Song Jie.
Until now, they have no idea who will win.
So far, Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie have played very steadily without making any obvious mistakes.
In this case, until the moment the elixir is completed, it is difficult to tell who has refined the elixir with higher quality.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Song Jie smiled confidently.
He slowly said: “You should know that in addition to your own proficiency in elixirs, what affects the quality of the elixir is also affected by the elixir fire technique and the alchemy furnace.
“As of now, there is not much difference in the two’s proficiency with Fire Poison Pills.
“He Hongjie is only slightly stronger than Mu Lingxuan.
“Mu Lingxuan is better than He Hongjie in controlling the Dan Fire Technique.
“As for the alchemy furnace, given Mu Lingxuan’s status, whose alchemy furnace do you think will be better?”
The alchemist sitting on the right side of Song Jie heard this and said without thinking: “Of course Mu Lingxuan’s alchemy furnace is better.”
Song Jie nodded.
“Of course, in addition to the three influencing factors I mentioned above, there are other factors that will also affect the quality of the finished pill.
“For example, the level of cultivation of an alchemist…
“Usually, the higher the alchemy level, the more precise the control of spiritual power.
“It’s just that this fire poison pill is not a first-grade elixir that is very difficult to refine, and it does not require high spiritual power control.
“So He Hongjie’s advantage in cultivation is of little use.”
Everyone listened to Song Jie’s analysis and couldn’t help but nodded, thinking that what Song Jie said was very reasonable.
Song Jie smiled slightly and continued: “I guess the quality of the Fire Poison Pills refined by the last two people should be the same.
“In the end, we still need to compare the efficacy of the medicine, and if we compare the efficacy of the medicine, the impact of the elixir will be greater.
“I believe that the elixir prescriptions from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect should be no worse than those from the Fire Refining Sect.”
Seeing that Song Jie had no intention of continuing, one of the alchemists immediately agreed: “What fellow Taoist Song said is absolutely true. I also believe that Mu Lingxuan has a greater chance of winning.”
At the same time, on the high platform on the highest floor.
“This beloved disciple of Sect Master Zhao is really amazing in his alchemy skills. Congratulations to Sect Master Zhao for accepting a good disciple.”
An elder from the Qiyun Immortal Sect who was good at alchemy looked at the master of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanyu laughed and said, “Even I can’t compare to Lingxuan’s talent in alchemy.”
At their level, even though the competition is not over yet, they can already see that the balance of victory has tilted towards Mu Lingxuan.
In the process of refining the Fire Poison Pill, Mu Lingxuan did not make any mistakes in the most critical steps.
Coupled with Mu Lingxuan’s superb alchemy fire technique.
The ending doesn’t have much suspense anymore.
Immediately, the elders from the five major sects who came to participate in the “Elixir Discussion Conference” expressed their congratulations to Zhao Xuanyu.
On the penultimate high platform, an elder from the Huolian Sect came to attend the “Elixir Discussion Conference” and looked at the two people who were still concentrating on alchemy on the discussion stage.
I sighed slightly in my heart.
He knew that He Hongjie would most likely lose.
She couldn’t help but secretly thought, Mu Lingxuan’s title as the number one alchemy genius in Yunmo Continent is indeed well-deserved…
“I hope that after this defeat, Hong Jie can see himself clearly again and take further steps on the path of alchemy.
“well……”
As one of his most proud disciples, He Hongjie was not as talented in alchemy as Mu Lingxuan, but he was still ranked among the top three in the Fire Refining Sect.
It is precisely because he has been praised by his junior brothers and sisters all year round that his personality is a bit too arrogant.
On the path of alchemy, among his peers, it can be said that no one is convinced.
Confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence is arrogance.
He brought He Hongjie to the “Elixir Forum” this time, hoping that his disciple could learn some lessons from the conference.
Understand what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
Now it seems that his wish should be realized.
……
Just when the big guys on the high platform had seen the results of the competition, they were chatting and complimenting each other.
On the forum, the competition between Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie was coming to an end.
At this moment, all the medicinal materials put into the alchemy furnace have been smelted by the alchemy fire and turned into liquid medicine, and gradually began to become viscous.
Gradually, a ball of paste with the prototype of the elixir appeared in the alchemy furnace.
“Condensation!”
“Condensation!”
As two low shouts sounded almost in no particular order, the alchemy fire in the two alchemy furnaces expanded at the same time, and then began to shrink rapidly.
Soon, two faint scents of alchemy floated out from the holes of the alchemy furnace.
Smelling the two scents of elixirs intertwined in the air, both Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie knew that the other party’s elixirs were of the same quality as their own, which were high-quality fire poison elixirs.
“I am impressed by Fellow Daoist Mu’s alchemy skills.”
He Hongjie cupped his hands towards Mu Lingxuan, his face still full of confidence.
Mu Lingxuan replied: “Young Daoist He’s alchemy skills are also very exquisite. This fire poison pill is hard to rival among first-level alchemists.”
Hearing Mu Lingxuan’s praise, He Hongjie couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He Hongjie had already expected that Mu Lingxuan could refine a fire poison pill of the same quality as his own.
only……
Although both of them refined high-quality fire poison pills, they were both of high quality, but there were actually some subtle differences.
Just like monks who are all at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, some have just broken through to this level, while others are about to break through to the tenth level.
He Hongjie was confident that the quality of the Fire Poison Pill he refined would be at least a little better than Mu Lingxuan’s.
Pills with higher quality are usually more effective.
Of course, this is the case when the formula is the same.
Although the two of them were refining both Fire Poison Pills, the formulas were obviously different.
That’s why He Hongjie didn’t rush to draw a conclusion. He still needed to compare the two pills in detail to know the answer.
With the belief of victory in his heart, He Hongjie took the lead in opening the lid of his alchemy furnace.
He manipulated his spiritual power to take out the fire poison pill from the furnace, put it in his palm and felt it silently for a moment.
Then he nodded slightly.
This Fire Poison Pill can be said to be his best performance so far.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and he looked at Mu Lingxuan.
“Fellow Daoist Mu, are you and I testing each other’s elixirs?
“Or do I need to ask a senior to do a notarization?”
“Just test each other’s elixirs.”
Mu Lingxuan didn’t say any nonsense. With a wave of her hand, she opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
The next moment, the fire poison pill in the furnace floated in front of her eyes under the guidance of her spiritual power.
After just looking at it for a moment, Mu Lingxuan controlled her spiritual power and threw the fire poison pill she had refined towards He Hongjie.
When He Hongjie saw this, he also made the same move.
The two exchanged fire poison pills with each other.
After three breaths, Mu Lingxuan cupped her hands and said, “Fellow Daoist He, I accept the concession!”
On the other side, He Hongjie said with some frustration: “I lost…”
After testing the fire poison pill refined by Mu Lingxuan, He Hongjie realized that he had thought everything was too good.
The Fire Poison Pills refined by the two of them were indeed of high quality.
But Mu Lingxuan’s Fire Poison Pill was not only no worse than his own in terms of quality, it was actually a little better.
Such a result shocked He Hongjie’s heart.
He never expected that he would lose to Mu Lingxuan in the Fire Poison Pill, which he was best at.
During the two people’s alchemy process, they both released spiritual power.
Therefore, He Hongjie also clearly felt that Mu Lingxuan was only at the seventh level of Qi refining stage.
And he is an alchemist at the ninth level of Qi refining stage.
Even though he had the upper hand in cultivation, he actually lost…
Even though Mu Lingxuan’s first-grade alchemy furnace is of better quality, his first-grade alchemy furnace is not bad either.
It can be said that both sides have their own advantages.
Moreover, strictly speaking, He Hongjie’s advantage will be greater.
After all, the age difference between the two is more than ten years, and He Hongjie has obviously spent much longer studying the alchemy path than Mu Lingxuan.
But in the end, Mu Lingxuan was slightly better.
Such a result can only show that Mu Lingxuan’s alchemy talent is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The moment He Hongjie admitted that he lost, almost all the Alchemy Sect disciples watching the competition cheered.
“Senior Sister Mu!”
“Senior Sister Mu is great!”
“As expected of Senior Sister Mu from our Alchemy Sect, she defeated her opponent effortlessly.”
“Use your own shortcomings to win over the other’s strengths. This is Senior Sister Mu of our Alchemy Sect!”
“Senior Sister Mu, I like you!”
“Senior Sister Mu, I want to give you a baby!”
……
Affected by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the disciples of the Alchemy Sect, many first-level alchemists with low cultivation levels also began to cheer and shout Mu Lingxuan’s name.
Mu Lingxuan and He Hongjie both showed superb alchemy skills during the alchemy process, which was really eye-opening for them.
This was also the first time they saw with their own eyes the scene of Yunmozhou’s number one alchemy genius refining alchemy on the spot.
Just this one competition was enough for them to brag about for a long time.
At this moment, on the high platform.
The first-level alchemists sitting next to Song Jie, while marveling at Mu Lingxuan’s alchemy skills, began to flatter Song Jie.
“Fellow Daoist Song is really good at predicting events. In the end, Mu Lingxuan won.”
“Fellow Daoist Song’s accurate judgment is really admirable!”
“From what I can see, among the first-level alchemists present, perhaps only Fellow Daoist Song can compete with Mu Lingxuan.”
“Indeed, does Fellow Daoist Song intend to challenge Yunmozhou’s number one alchemy genius?”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I can defeat Mu Lingxuan under the witness of such an alchemist, I will definitely become famous all over the world.”
“Yes~ Master Song, why don’t you go up and challenge me, so that I can open my eyes?”
……
After a few compliments, these people began to encourage Song Jie to challenge Mu Lingxuan.
It’s not that they have any evil intentions and want to see Song Jie embarrassed.
But they really want to see with their own eyes what Song Jie’s alchemy level is…
They live in the same courtyard, and after communicating with each other during this period, they can all feel that Song Jie has many unique insights on the alchemy path.
Moreover, when Song Jie set up a stall before, all the elixirs displayed were of high quality.
This is enough to show that Song Jie’s alchemy skills are far superior to those of them.
They were convinced of Song Jie’s alchemy skills and insights on the alchemy path.
It was precisely because of this that they wanted to see Song Jie show off his skills to them.
Even if Song Jie lost to Mu Lingxuan in the end, they didn’t think it was a shameful thing.
After all, Mu Lingxuan has long been famous.
Not only is it not embarrassing to lose to the number one alchemy genius in Yun Mozhou, but it is also something that can be used to brag.
Not just anyone can compete with the number one alchemy genius in Yun Mozhou.
At this moment, He Hongjie lost the competition and walked down the stage dejectedly.
The alchemists in the audience who were watching the competition all looked at him with encouragement and admiration when they saw He Hongjie passing by them.
Almost no one laughed at him.
Dare to go on stage to challenge the number one alchemy genius in Yun Mozhou. His courage and self-confidence alone are already better than many alchemists of his generation.
Song Jie looked at the eager looks in the eyes of the alchemists around him, smiled and shook his head: “Don’t be in a hurry, leave the opportunity to other Taoists first.
“If no one can defeat Mu Lingxuan, it won’t be too late for me to challenge her again.”
Seeing Song Jie’s confident look, one of the alchemists smiled and said: “It seems that Fellow Daoist Song is determined to obtain the ‘Lingyuan Immortal Fruit’.”
“Fellow Daoist Song’s self-confidence alone is enough to make us admire him.” Another alchemist also agreed.
Song Jie asked with a smile: “With such a rare opportunity, don’t you fellow Taoists want to go on stage and challenge it?”
“We haven’t mastered the art of alchemy yet, so we won’t go up to show our shame.”
Hearing this, Song Jie shook his head and said, “My fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. If you can compete with a master, even if you lose, you will gain a lot.
“If you miss today, it will be difficult to get a chance to compete with Mu Lingxuan in the future.
“Moreover, it doesn’t have to be a trial of elixirs, as long as it’s related to alchemy.
“Fellow Taoists, please think about what you are good at in the Alchemy Way…”
In just a few words, Song Jie changed from being the one being instigated to being the instigator.
Now it was his turn to encourage these alchemists to challenge Mu Lingxuan on stage.
The reason why he did this naturally had a profound meaning.
There is only one chance to challenge Mu Lingxuan on stage, and there is only one chance to win.
The “Lingyuan Immortal Fruit” is very important to Song Jie. No matter what, he wants to get one.
This can save him a lot of time in time for the opening of the “Tongtian Secret Realm”.
Therefore, he must find out the details of Mu Lingxuan in order to win at once.
Just an alchemy competition was not enough for him to see clearly where Mu Lingxuan’s strengths and weaknesses were.
Song Jie knew very well that with Mu Lingxuan’s alchemy skills, if he wanted to win, he could only have a chance of winning by using his own advantages to challenge Mu Lingxuan’s weaknesses.
That’s why he was not in a hurry to go on stage to challenge, and let others come on stage first to help him find out the details about Mu Lingxuan.
Then he launched an offensive targeting Mu Lingxuan’s weaker areas and won the competition in one fell swoop.
Although doing so may be a bit unsatisfactory, Song Jie never believed that he was an alchemist with high moral character.
His bottom line is not to do anything harmful to nature. As for other things, it’s not a big deal if he loses his moral integrity a little bit.
Moreover, when he encouraged the alchemists around him to challenge Mu Lingxuan, he was not entirely using them.
For them, this opportunity is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even if he loses the competition, he can indeed learn some knowledge about alchemy from Mu Lingxuan.
Just the experience of competing on the same stage with Yun Mozhou’s number one alchemy genius was enough to hone their character.
It also gives them another bragging rights.
As for Mu Lingxuan, Song Jie believed that the other party held such a competition today just to compete with more alchemists and further hone his alchemy skills.
This was probably the intention of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect leader, so he asked Mu Lingxuan to preside over this “Elixir Forum”.
I just hope that Mu Lingxuan can compete with more peers through this conference and seek a breakthrough in the path of alchemy.
Therefore, Song Jie’s move can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
When these alchemists heard Song Jie’s suggestion, they couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
They are not brainless people. They naturally know that challenging Mu Lingxuan will indeed have many benefits for them.
At that moment, everyone started to think about what they were good at, or which aspect of alchemy they wanted to seek a breakthrough in.
Soon, the alchemist sitting on the right side of Song Jie slapped his thigh and said, “I have thought about what I want to challenge Mu Lingxuan on stage!”
