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

Zhou Yiqiao was caught off guard by Master Henggui and was brought to the stage. He was at a loss for a moment.

In panic, he had no choice but to clasp his fists with both hands and bow to everyone who looked over to show his humility.

"Ahem, just forget about all those polite words. Since Master Heng has chosen this little brother, he should be qualified to participate."

General Du coughed twice and reminded Master Henggui not to forget about business.

"General Ben will announce the prize for this competition."

"Third place, a third-level alchemy master's alchemy experience; second place, a third-level alchemy master's fire control technique; first place, a pill fire!"

General Du's loud and deep voice echoed throughout the audience.

In an instant, the whole place fell silent, and then started to boil.

"His! It turns out to be pill fire!"

"It is said that this elixir fire is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, containing the great road of heaven and earth. It can only be condensed by chance."

"Using elixir fire to refine elixirs can not only save the alchemist a lot of spiritual energy and ensure the success rate of elixir refining, but most importantly, it can improve the quality of the elixirs."

"This kind of treasure that even Master Jindan covets is actually used as a reward. This competition is really going to be lively!"

The monks around him were talking a lot, and all of them seemed very excited.

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart.

Now that the two Jindan masters endorsed him, even if it went against his Zhou Yiqiao character, he had to participate in this competition.

But the reward of this competition is so rich, Zhou Yiqiao may attract more people's attention.

"Since everyone has no doubts, let's get started."

General Du said with a serious face. After saying this, he led all the real people to leave the high platform and enter an open platform at the other end of the square.

After all the powerful men left, the huge sky became empty.

Zhou Yiqiao followed the young talents and jumped onto the high platform. After taking out the Five Elements Gathering Furnace from the storage bag, he waited with bated breath for General Du's next instructions.

General Du patted the storage bag, took out a divination box, and in front of everyone's eyes, took out a bamboo stick, and then spoke loudly.

"The pill that everyone needs to refine in the first round is the Qingxin Pill!"

Qingxin Pill is a second-level healing elixir. It is only in the middle of all second-level elixirs, and the difficulty of refining is not high.

Many alchemists on the high platform breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the name of this elixir.

Only Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and he touched his chin thoughtfully.

Although he did not think he was talented in alchemy, but after years of extensive practice, the quality of the elixirs he refined had reached a terrifying level.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was how to lower the quality of the elixir he made later.

"The spiritual plants needed for the Qingxin Pill will be delivered to you by a dedicated person. Please wait patiently."

General Du stood aside and said, then he waved his sleeves and stepped aside.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers walked onto the high platform in batches. Each team of soldiers was carrying an exquisite jade box. The jade box contained various spiritual plants needed to refine the Qingxin Pill.

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at the spiritual plants in front of him and found that several spiritual plants were of lower grade. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These ordinary spiritual plants can't help him reduce the quality of his refining at all. On the contrary, it is easier to expose his level.

"It seems that we can only do some tricks on fire control."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself and made his own plan.

As General Du announced the start of the competition, Zhou Yiqiao also took action.

He opened the jade box on the side and took out all the spiritual plants.

Zhou Yiqiao stroked each spiritual plant with his left hand, constantly becoming familiar with the medicinal properties of each spiritual plant.

The spiritual light flashed in his right hand, and the powerful spiritual power in his body surged out and poured into the Five Elements Gathering Furnace in front of him.

As the spiritual power continued to flow in, the body of the Five Elements Gathering Furnace began to gradually become brighter.

Zhou Yiqiao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"start!"

After General Du finished speaking, everyone on the high platform began to refine the elixir. Zhou Yiqiao also took his time and inspired the fire in the cauldron.

"Boom!"

The Five Elements Gathering Furnace trembled violently, and a blazing hot flame instantly rose from the bottom of the furnace, igniting the surrounding air for several feet and setting off a heat wave.

Zhou Yiqiao was multitasking. After controlling the flames in the alchemy furnace to stabilize, he threw all the spiritual plants in his hands into it.

When the spiritual plant encountered the blazing flames, it instantly lost its original form and turned into a rich spiritual plant solution.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao immediately made a seal, guiding the lava-like flames to wrap the spiritual plant solution. At the same time, he also released wisps of thin threads of soul power to mix the melted spiritual plant solution evenly.

Soon, all the spiritual plant solutions were perfectly blended together. Zhou Yiqiao reduced the output of spiritual power, slowly weakened the flames in the alchemy furnace, and carried out the final work of condensing the elixir.

"hu~hu~"

The elixir fire is getting smaller and smaller, but the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the mixed spiritual plant solution is gradually becoming solid.

Finally, the elixir fire went out, the furnace lid was opened, and a round and full green elixir flew out and stayed firmly in Zhou Yiqiao's palm.

Zhou Yiqiao stretched out his index finger, flicked it, and the pill flew into the jade bottle held by the waiting soldier.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded to the soldiers beside him and watched as the other party sent the jade bottle to the platform where the real people were.

Although he had tried to slow down the refining speed of the Qingxin Pill, there were still people who had not finished it. Zhou Yiqiao simply took out a Purple Spirit Pill and swallowed it in his belly, then meditated on the spot to recover the consumed spiritual power.

It took a quarter of an hour for all the alchemists to finish refining the Qingxin Pill. After all the Golden Pill masters tasted it one by one, the short and fat general stood up and announced the results of the first round of competition.

"The first round of Qingxin Dan competition has ended. After screening by all the Jindan masters, a total of 206 alchemists have advanced to the next round."

The short and fat general waved his hand, and the roster in his hand suddenly became hundreds of times larger and floated in the air.

Everyone looked around and saw that Wang Haoyu, Zhao Wuchen, Ling Tianyu and Qin Mu were among them. They were at the end of the list, and Zhou Yiqiao's name was prominently listed.

"Congratulations, you have qualified to enter the second level!"

The pudgy general looked businesslike.

"This is the rule for your second assessment."

As he said that, he also took out a bamboo stick from the divination box. With a flick of his fingertips, the bamboo stick flew into the air. Then it rose sharply in the wind and displayed the three words "Li Chen Dan" on the bamboo stick. In front of everyone.

All the monks watching the competition showed excitement after seeing the name of Lichen Dan.
