After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

More than half a month later, the final of the alchemy competition finally began. The levels of the competition were from low to high, starting with the ninth-grade alchemist and ending with the fourth-grade alchemist. That was to say, Pei Yun's competition was in the penultimate round.

Early that morning, Pei Yun followed Palace Master Lu and many elders and disciples of the temple to the Alchemy Square.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the judges' seats in the square were divided into two sides. One side was headed by Tiandan City Lord Sun and Deputy Hall Master Jin, and the other side was headed by Hall Master Lu. Beside him were temple elders like Wei Cheng who were not from Tiandan City. And there happened to be seven people sitting on each side, for a total of fourteen judges.

Pei Yun and his group of disciples representing the temple sat in the audience seats not far from them, and opposite them were the children of various families in Tiandan City.

People like Luo Qi, who did not participate in the competition but simply watched the fun, could only squeeze outside the square to watch. He was greeting Pei Yun cheerfully when suddenly someone patted his shoulder gently.

Luo Qi turned around and saw Su Yue and a young man appear behind him. Su Yue smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be here too!"

Luo Qi showed a hint of surprise. The man next to Su Yue was her eldest brother Su Chen. The Su family and the Luo family were old friends. He had known Su Chen since childhood, so he was not unfamiliar with him. He greeted him familiarly: "Brother Su Chen, Su Yue, why are you here?"

"Didn't I tell you that my aunt married to Tiandan City many years ago? My brother and I are going to travel to Dongcangzhou, so we thought of visiting my aunt first. Besides, Tiandan City's alchemy competition has always been famous, so we also came to see it..."

"Then you've come to the right place! It just so happens that Junior Sister Pei is going to participate in this alchemy competition..."

Luo Qi excitedly pulled her arm and squeezed forward, wanting to greet Pei Yun. Seeing him so "forgetful", Wang Xueer, who was standing by, pulled down the corners of her mouth slightly, and quietly took his arm, smiling and said, "Husband, won't you introduce this young master?"

After Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, and the smile on his face faded slightly. He introduced the identities of both parties. At this moment, the first competition of ninth-grade alchemists had already begun...

Five hundred ninth-grade alchemists walked from the audience seats to the center of the square. As for the temple, there were nearly a hundred disciples who entered the finals of the ninth-grade alchemist competition. Of course, Palace Master Lu’s most promising seeded player was his disciple Yin Yu.

Every participating alchemist uses the same grade of furnace and ordinary earth fire. When external conditions are the same, all they can rely on is the alchemist's own alchemy skills.

"Junior Sister Pei, what do you think of Junior Sister Yin's alchemy skills? Can she win first place?" Pan Shi, who was sitting next to Pei Yun, asked with a relaxed look on his face.

During the competition, it is forbidden to use spiritual sense to detect each contestant, otherwise it may affect the performance of the alchemist.

Therefore, Pei Yun only observed it with her naked eyes, but even so, she saw some clues and shook her head slightly, saying: "... Junior Sister Yin may not be able to win the championship..."

Just from a quick glance, there were several people on the field who had very good alchemy skills and were mentally stable. In comparison, Yin Yu was obviously nervous and his movements were a little flustered.

Sure enough, Palace Master Lu and several elders from Wei Cheng also noticed it, sighed and shook their heads, and Lu Anxu's face did not look very good.

"Palace Master Lu, I heard that one of your disciples is participating in this competition. Who is it?"

"A good teacher produces good students! Palace Master Lu is so talented, so his students must be good too..."

On the judging panel in Tiandan City, many people secretly glanced at Lu Anxu's face while pretending to praise him.

After one stick of incense, all participating alchemists had finished refining their pills. Bottles of pills were marked with names and sent to the judges' table...

After appraisal and discussion, to everyone's surprise, the winner of the ninth-grade alchemy competition was an inconspicuous temple disciple, who won first place with two flawless pills and eight top-quality ninth-grade pills.

Among them was a family member from Tiandan City. The pills he refined were of the same quality as his, but he took a few steps slower to refine, so he was still slightly inferior.

Palace Master Lu and several elders were all stunned. They had never paid attention to this temple disciple before, and his results in the preliminary round were not impressive. They did not expect that he would become a dark horse and win the championship.

"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my disciple of the temple. What's your name?" Lu Anxu was in a good mood. He thought Yin Yu had no hope, but he didn't expect a dark horse to suddenly appear.

"Disciple Yang Shi pays homage to the Palace Master."

"Okay! Yang Shi, are you willing to become my disciple?" Lu Anxu was so happy that he even thought of accepting him as his disciple.

"Disciple Yang Shi greets Master!" Yang Shi knelt down in ecstasy and kowtowed on the spot to become his disciple.

The people from Tiandan City had ugly faces that changed again and again. They were originally mocking Lu Anxu's apprentice, but they didn't expect that the disciples of the temple would take the lead in the blink of an eye.

However, the next two games - the eighth-grade alchemist and the seventh-grade alchemist - suddenly turned the situation around, and the first place in these two games was won by the descendants of Tiandan City's families.

Vice Palace Master Jin and City Master Sun from Tiandan City both looked very proud. After two consecutive failures, the Temple became relatively silent...

Lu Zhen sat in the audience in frustration, with her head lowered and her eyes red, looking like she was about to cry.

Pan Shi, who was standing beside her, comforted her as he stood up and prepared to go on stage, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Lu, I will definitely win the competition!"

"I believe in you, Brother!" Lu Zhen nodded, and then looked at Pei Yun, "Brother Pan and Sister Pei will definitely win the championship!"

Pan Shi smiled gently, nodded to Pei Yun, and walked to the center of the square...

Pan Shi was originally going to take part in the fifth-grade alchemist competition. He was regarded as a seed player by Palace Master Lu, so his strength was naturally not bad. Of course, there were also many masters in this competition. Several young and promising family members in Tiandan City took part in the competition.

"Each of you take a portion of the medicinal materials for the sixth-grade Qingxin Pill..." After everyone was ready, the elder at the judging table said, "The competition begins!"

Pei Yun's eyes focused as he carefully observed each of the alchemists. To be able to become a sixth-rank alchemist, one's alchemy technique must be steady and sophisticated, and he would not have the psychological problems that a novice would have.

She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. Pan Shi's alchemy skills were among the best in the group. He took every step steadily and had a good grasp of details, making him very competitive.

Apparently, several judges at the judging table also thought so. After rounds of appraisals, several judges from Tiandan City could only reluctantly announce that Pan Shi was the first in the sixth-grade alchemist competition...

The temple disciples in the audience cheered, welcoming Pan Shi's victorious return.

"Big Brother, you're awesome!" Yin Yu and Lu Zhen swept away their previous depression, clapping their hands excitedly and surrounding him.

"In these four competitions, the people from Tiandan City won two, and the disciples from the Temple won two. This makes it a tie!"

"Senior Sister Pei is coming up next!" All the disciples in the temple turned their eyes to Pei Yun. Luo Qi and Su Yue, who were standing on the periphery, also shouted loudly to cheer her on.

"Junior Sister Pei!"

Pei Yun smiled and waved at them, then stood up and walked to the center of the square...

Maybe because she, Jue Sheng, and Dongfang Ji were all strong contenders for the championship, the three of them were arranged to sit next to each other, and stood in the center, with the judges' seats in front of them.

"Is this the genius who practices both alchemy and Taoism?!"

"At such a young age, he has already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is indeed extraordinary!"

"What matters to an alchemist is not their cultivation, but their alchemy skills. This year, there are Jue Sheng and Dongfang Ji. With her preliminary level, she can only be ranked in the top five at best..."

“Even so, his future is limitless. Moreover, at this age he is already a fifth-rank alchemist. If given another hundred years, wouldn’t he be a…” Lu Anxu.

"The Dan God Temple cannot keep such a genius. He has the backing of the Qin Gu Master. Does he still need to rely on Lu Anxu?"

"But no matter how talented she is or how well-connected she is, strength is the key to winning the competition. With her current level, it is impossible for her to win first place..."

The people from Tiandan City looked at Pei Yun while discussing enthusiastically...

City Lord Sun, Deputy Palace Lord Jin, and Yan Ru who was standing behind them all stared at Pei Yun with solemn expressions.

On the temple side, Palace Master Lu and Wei Cheng were the most relaxed at this moment. They had already witnessed Pei Yun's strength, so they had nothing to worry about in this competition. They were sure to win!
