Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, stood up, faced everyone, and spoke slowly.

"In the first round of competition, Xu Qingyi failed in refining, so Huo Yan naturally won."

"In the second round of competition, Xu Qingyi refined a Qi-gathering pill with danwen. His superb skills are obvious to all. I'm sure no one would object to Xu Qingyi's victory."

"As for this third round, both sides have successfully refined the Rainbow Phoenix Pill. How can we determine the winner based on appearance alone?"

There was a hint of amusement in Zhou Yiqiao's words as he continued.

"Everyone here is a master in the alchemy world. You should understand that the true value of an elixir is not just its gorgeous appearance."

"The real judgment should be based on the efficacy of the elixir and the purity of the spiritual power."

He looked around and saw that everyone looked thoughtful. He knew that his words had resonated with everyone, so he continued.

"How about this, we find a few alchemists and test the two alchemists' Colorful Phoenix Pills to see whose pill is better. What do you think, Sect Master Li?"

Li Xunfeng was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou Yiqiao to make such a request.

If you disagree, it would be tantamount to admitting that the Yanyang Sect judges Dan by his appearance, which is unfair.

If he agreed, he was worried that Xu Qingyi's elixir was really extraordinary and would make Huo Yan lose the chance of winning.

Seeing Li Xunfeng hesitate, Zhou Yiqiao took the opportunity to make a proposal to the whole audience.

"Zhou has heard that many alchemists have come to the border market these days, and some of them are well-known alchemists within a radius of ten thousand miles."

"Why don't we select a few fellow alchemists from among the present to jointly judge? What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received responses from many alchemists.

Many people saw Caifengdu for the first time, and they all wanted to take a closer look at this legendary ancient elixir.

Seeing this, Li Xunfeng knew that he could no longer object and could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, let's do as Manager Zhou said and witness the final judgment together."

Therefore, under the selection of Zhou Yiqiao and Li Xunhuan, five highly respected alchemists were invited out from the crowd.

Under the gaze of everyone, the five alchemists walked steadily to the center of the arena.

Each of them is a master who has been immersed in the world of alchemy for hundreds of years and possesses rich experience and superb skills.

More importantly, these five alchemists came from different alchemy forces and there was no suspicion of collusion between them, which convinced the audience.

Five people were invited to test the elixir, so naturally they all showed off their best skills.

They first carefully observed the appearance of the two Caifeng Pills, made a detailed assessment of the color, luster and shape of the pills, and then each began to test the efficacy of the medicine.

One of the old alchemists gently picked up the Colorful Phoenix Pills made by both parties and placed them under the sun, muttering something. It was unknown how he used some secret method to observe the flow of spiritual power in the two Colorful Phoenix Pills.

The other alchemist was more direct. He personally took a small portion from the two Colorful Phoenix Pills, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully, feeling the spiritual power and medicinal properties of the pills dissolving in his body.

Several other alchemists took similar approaches.

Some used the power of their souls to explore the spiritual structure inside the elixir, while others used special instruments to test the spiritual purity of the elixir.

During the whole process, their expressions changed from initial calmness to gradual solemnity, and they obviously spoke highly of the works of the two young alchemists.

After a period of inspection, the five alchemists gathered together and discussed in a low voice for a while.

Finally, they reached a consensus, and one of the alchemists who looked the oldest represented the group and announced the result to everyone present.

"After the five of us jointly tested it, we all agreed that the Caifeng Pill refined by Xu Qingyi is more effective."

The old alchemist's voice was hoarse and powerful, and every word was clearly transmitted throughout the venue.

"Although Huo Yan's Colorful Phoenix Pill is more attractive in appearance, its medicinal effect and the purity of its spiritual power are slightly inferior."

"Although Xu Qingyi's pills look ordinary, the spiritual power contained in them is more refined. The efficacy of the pills is at least 30% higher than Huo Yan's Caifeng Pills."

The whole audience was shocked when this statement was made. Many people began to discuss this unexpected result.

Li Xunfeng and Huo Yan's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in Li Xunfeng's eyes.

He obviously didn't expect that the spiritual materials carefully prepared by Yan Yang Sect and the Great Elder and Huo Yan's alchemy skills would be defeated by Xu Qingyi in the final judgment.

"I've said before that the quality of a pill cannot be judged based on appearance alone."

Zhou Yiqiao ignored the two people from Yan Yang Sect who were standing there in a daze, and took the initiative of the conference without leaving a trace and started the process.

"Here, on behalf of Qingdan Pavilion, I would like to thank all the alchemists for their fair judgment, and also thank Yanyang Sect and Qibaozhai for bringing us this alchemy feast."

Just as Zhou Yiqiao was about to continue the conference process and announce the final winner of this alchemy competition, Huo Yan suddenly shouted loudly, his voice full of indignation.

"I don't agree!"

His voice echoed in the conference hall, causing the entire atmosphere to stagnate.

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not surprised by Huo Yan's protest. He just looked at Huo Yan calmly and spoke lightly.

"Huo Yan, why are you dissatisfied?"

When Huo Yan heard Zhou Yiqiao's plain words, he felt as if he had seen a prehistoric beast, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

However, the anger in his heart still overcame his fear. He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner turmoil, and spoke loudly.

"Words are not enough, I want to compare the spiritual power of the two pills myself!"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

"It's impossible."

In full view of everyone, Huo Yan walked forward, picked up the Colorful Phoenix Pills that he and Xu Qingyi had refined, circulated his spiritual power, and penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the pills to explore the differences between the two pills.

Huo Yan's expression changed from initial confidence to shock, and finally to disbelief.

He felt the purity and abundance of spiritual power inside the Colorful Phoenix Pill refined by Xu Qingyi far exceeded his expectations. Even the sect elder who taught him the method of refining the Colorful Phoenix Pill had never refined a Colorful Phoenix Pill of such high quality.

"This...this is impossible!"

Huo Yan lost his voice and threw the Colorful Phoenix Pill refined by Xu Qingyi to the ground.

"Huo Yan, stop being so presumptuous!"

Li Xunfeng, who was standing by, came to his senses and shouted at Huo Yan after seeing his behavior.

The reason why his Yan Yang Sect held this competition was to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous and work smoothly for the Great Elder.

But now Huo Yan's behavior of not being able to accept defeat is undoubtedly bringing discredit to Yan Yang Sect, and may even ruin the chance of his Yan Yang Sect's rise!

Therefore, after seeing Huo Yan's behavior, Li Xunfeng had already thought of a retreat for the Yanyang Sect.
