“Are you sure you want to sign up?
Bao Xu looked at Song Jie suspiciously.
In his impression, Song Jie was an ordinary alchemist who could only refine Bigu Pills.
Although there are not many first-level alchemists in Xinyuefang City, there are still a few.
There are four first-level alchemists in the Baodan Tower alone, plus several first-level alchemists among the casual cultivators.
The entire Xinyuefang City can produce almost ten first-level alchemists.
The elixirs used by first-level alchemists in the competition must be first-level elixirs.
If you want to rely on Bigu Pill to get into the top three, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream.
Therefore, in Bao Xu’s view, Song Jie’s signing up for this competition was a complete waste of spiritual stones.
“Yes.” Song Jie nodded, “Manager Bao, please help me register.”
Bao Xu opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
He wanted to persuade Song Jie to give up this unrealistic fantasy, but in the end he didn’t say anything and just sighed softly.
After accepting the spiritual stone, Bao Xu registered Song Jie’s basic information, and then took out a piece of paper.
“It contains the specific rules of the game, the time of the game, and the location of the game. You can take a good look at it when you go back.
“There are still three months until the official competition.
“During this time, you can think about it at home.”
Because of their past friendship, Bao Xu confessed a few more words to Song Jie.
“Thank you, Manager Bao.”
Song Jie took the piece of paper, bowed his hand to Bao Xu, and then turned and left.
Bao Xu glanced at Song Jie’s leaving figure and sighed again.
Then he said coldly to the person behind him: “Next one.
“The registration fee is one spiritual stone…”
……
After leaving the Baodian Building, Song Jie went to the Spiritual Medicine Studio and purchased the medicinal materials needed for the next seven days of alchemy.
Returning home, he threw the medicinal ingredients on the table.
Then he took out the piece of paper Bao Xu gave him and browsed it roughly from left to right.
“The competition is also held at Baodan Tower?
“It seems that after this competition, Baodan Tower’s reputation in Xinyuefang City will rise to another level.”
Song Jie rubbed his chin.
According to the competition rules described above, all registered alchemists.
One month before the start of the competition, you must go to Baodan Tower to confirm whether you have passed the review and are qualified to participate.
If you fail to pass the review, the registration fee for one spiritual stone will be refunded.
The alchemist who passes the review will receive a participation token.
And you must report your elixirs for the competition, as well as the required raw materials.
Then after the competition begins, all participating monks will gather in the Baodan Tower for a five-day closed alchemy.
The food and clothing during the period, as well as all the things needed for alchemy, including raw materials, are provided by Baodan Tower.
After the five days of closed alchemy, the Baodan Tower will set aside a special area to sell the participating elixirs.
Every monk who purchases an elixir will receive a rating card corresponding to the elixir.
You can use this card to rate the elixir within ten days.
If it is found that someone maliciously writes negative reviews, or hires someone to write positive reviews, Danding Sect will take corresponding disciplinary measures.
One month later, the Alchemy Sect will rank the participating elixirs based on their sales and comprehensive scores.
As for the reward, it is the same as what Li Caiwei said.
The alchemists of the top three elixirs will have the opportunity to join the Alchemy Sect.
The first place winner will also receive an additional first-grade elixir recipe that they have not yet mastered.
After having a clear understanding of the rules and procedures of the competition, Song Jie chuckled.
“Baodanlou has a good plan. It only provided the venue and raw materials, and got a lot of free labor.”
After the elixirs are sold, it is naturally impossible to distribute the spiritual stone income to the participating alchemists.
“Baodan Tower has achieved both fame and fortune this time, but this is also an opportunity for me.”
Song Jie smiled slightly.
If he can win the first place in the competition, he will become famous in Xinyuefang City.
Even though he was unable to join the Alchemy Sect in the end because of his five-attribute spiritual roots.
You can also rely on the fame gained from the competition to prosper in Xinyuefang City.
“Think carefully these days about what elixir to use to compete.”
Although Fudaowan and Yuanyangdan have received rave reviews since they were launched on the market, Song Jie feels that these two elixirs are not perfect and have their own flaws.
The main function of Budai Wan is to warm the kidneys and strengthen yang, focusing on nourishment. It needs to be taken for a long time to be effective.
The main function of Yuanyang Pill is to restore men’s virility in a short period of time. Although the effect is good, it damages Yuanyang and has obvious side effects afterwards.
Therefore, when selling elixirs, Song Jie usually recommends customers to buy one bottle of each of the two elixirs.
Taking it together in this way can reduce the side effects of Yuanyang Dan and obtain a pleasant dual cultivation experience.
However, the rules of the competition determined that Song Jie could only choose one type of elixir to participate in the competition.
If you use any of these two elixirs to compete, you may be able to get a better ranking.
But it is still very difficult to get first place.
His opponents are those first-level alchemists. If he wants to defeat the first-level elixirs, he must use strong medicine.
“It seems that the development of new elixirs will be put on the agenda.
“After such a long time, Dahei should have fully recovered, and it’s time to fulfill his duties as a test dog…”
The corners of Song Jie’s mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn’t help but laugh a few times.
Then he took off his coat and went to the open space outside the house to practice spells and body movements for half an hour.
He stopped when the spiritual power in his body was exhausted and he could no longer shoot out a Yang Finger.
Back in the house, I steamed a bowl of fragrant rice and stir-fried a plate of lychee meat.
After a delicious dinner, I took a cold shower.
Then I started tonight’s practice.
……
The sun and moon alternate.
Seven days go by in a blink of an eye.
After completing the morning spell and movement exercises, Song Jie put the elixirs he had refined over the past few days into the medicine box.
Then he brought his own pony and the signature wooden board.
“Today is also a day of great wealth~”
After shouting a slogan as usual, Song Jie stepped out of the door with a smile on his face and walked towards the central square of Xinyuefang City.
Song Jie came to the stall and saw Li Caiwei sitting boredly behind the stall, so he immediately said hello.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I haven’t seen you for a few days. How is your business lately?”
This is their main concern when doing business.
Li Caiwei smiled and said, “Thanks to fellow Taoist Song, it’s not bad.”
Not bad, that means quite good.
Song Jie smiled back and immediately began to tidy up his stall.
After everything was ready, not long after, as Song Jie expected, the first customer to come to the door was Miao Tong.
He even wondered if Miao Tong lived in this central square? “Fellow Daoist Miao was also very punctual today.”
Song Jie laughed and asked, “Still the old rules?”
“Yes.” Miao Tong nodded, “As per the old rules, get seven bottles of Bigu Pills.”
The corners of Song Jie’s mouth raised slightly, with a hint of a smile.
Then he took out five bottles of Bigu Pills, plus a bottle of Bupo Pills and a bottle of Yuanyang Pills, and handed them to Miao Tong.
After taking the three spiritual stones from Miao Tong, Song Jie said again: “Fellow Daoist Miao, there is something I want to tell you.”
“Oh?” A trace of surprise flashed in Miao Tong’s eyes, “What does Fellow Daoist Song have to say?”
Song Jie pondered for a moment and considered his words.
“Well…that’s it.
“I’m currently working on a new elixir.”
