Chapter 321: Alchemy Competition
The first event of the Immortal Cultivation University Gas was alchemy.
They began with the Qi Refinent group.
More than three thousand Immortal Cultivation Universities were already in operation. There were also close to a thousand under construction or had already been built but had yet to start enrolling.
One could imagine how many people would participate in the sports et.
It would definitely take more than two to three months.
The sports et was held in a hurry, so there was no ti to set up. Therefore, there were no tall and magnificent buildings, just a venue and a barrier, very simple.
Because there were many people competing, the competition venue was very large.
After the opening ceremony ended, the staff quickly began to prepare for the upcoming alchemy competition.
After more than an hour of preparation, the field was filled with furnaces. There were a total of a thousand of them.
Apart from the furnace, there was also so equipnt and materials needed for pill refinent.
The first competition was for those in the Qi Refinent realm.
The alchemy competition was divided into elimination rounds and point-based rounds.
There were about five thousand participants.
Since there were only a thousand furnaces, not all participants could compete at the sa ti. They had to be divided into six batches.
The rules of the competition were very simple.
The participants were to refine a Qi Gathering Pill within half an hour.
The judging panel would award points according to the quantity, luster, and dicinal efficacy of the Qi Gathering Pill.
The participants would compete in three matches, and their ranking would be based on their total score.
Participants ranked below one thousand would be eliminated, and the rest would enter the point-based competition.
The point-based rounds would be even more intense and more difficult than the elimination rounds.
The judging panel would provide formulas for ten types of spirit pills.
These formulas were all things that the competitors had never refined before.
After all, all of the participants were students of the university. As long as it was a spirit pill that wasn’t found in the alchemy textbooks, they naturally wouldn’t know how to refine it.
Although they had never co into contact with them before, every formula had detailed refinent steps.
However, refining pills wasn’t sothing that could be done with a step-by-step process unless one had extraordinary talent or was very lucky.
The most important thing in refining pills was the control of fire. It was the sa principle as stir-frying vegetables. If one could control the fire to cook, then the taste and fragrance of the stir-fried vegetables would definitely be better.
Presently, participants were arriving one after another, moving in front of their respective furnaces.
Before the competition began, they could familiarize themselves with the furnace. If they find any problems with the furnaces or materials, they change it.
The judges for this competition were sect elders of the Alchemy Peak.
The chief judge was Alchemy Peak Master Lu Guihua.
After more than an hour of waiting, all the participants were ready.
The competition was only half an hour-long, and for alchemy, it was extrely tight.
However, those who were qualified to participate in alchemy were not weak among their peers. They were all outstanding.
They could definitely produce the Qi Gathering Pill, so it wouldn’t be a big problem.
But to get a high score, they would have to put in so effort.
After all, there was only half an hour’s ti. It required a lot of output, a nice appearance, and good dicinal effects.
This was not a simple matter.
Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the alchemy competition began. The atmosphere of the entire arena instantly beca especially lively.
The alchemy competition was unique, requiring a relatively quiet environnt.
If it was too noisy, it would affect the participants’ performance.
Thus, the entire venue was enveloped by a massive barrier.
This barrier could block sound from the outside world.
In the audience, there were no empty seats. There were cheerleaders from various cultivation universities beating gongs and drums to cheer on their respective participants.
Although they couldn’t hear them, the presence had to be there.
This Immortal Cultivation University Sports et attracted the attention of the entire world.
This was the grandest competition since the reconstruction of the world. All the dia outlets were fighting to report on it, and the competition process was also broadcast live.
Half an hour passed quickly.
“Ti’s up. All participants, please stop what you’re doing. Please stop refining pills.
“If you break the rules, your results will be canceled.”
Following the referee’s voice, the first round of the alchemy competition ended.
In the arena, the participants wore different expressions. So looked dejected, so seed filled with confidence, and so appeared helpless expressions.
The staff took away the jade bottles containing Qi Gathering Pills Pills in front of the participants.
Soon, the next batch of participants arrived.
Just like before, they walked for an hour to familiarize themselves with their furnaces and other equipnt.
During this period of ti, the judges began to examine the first batch of Qi Gathering Pills and provided the corresponding results.
By the ti the second batch of participants began refining pills, the results of the first batch of participants were already out.
In order not to affect their performance in the next two rounds, their results will not be announced for the ti being.
The participants themselves already had a rough gauge of their results after the round.
Not long after, the second batch of participants finished.
Like the first batch of participants, so were happy while others were depressed.
Following that, the third and fourth batches… went on stage one after another.
During the process of refining pills, there were situations where the furnace exploded, the fire went out of control, contestants forfeited, and so on.
Ti slowly passed.
Two days later, the alchemy group’s pill refining competition ended smoothly.
A huge light screen appeared in the sky above the arena.
The nas of the contestants who entered the point-based competition were displayed on the screen.
The first na was Xiao Huo, with the highest total score.
He scored full marks for all three rounds.
If nothing unexpected happened, then he would be the pill refinent champion of the alchemy group.
Even if he did not win the championship, given his performance in the elimination rounds, he would still be the focus of attention.
It was said that the Alchemy Peak Master had already spoken to him.
…
In the arena.
The participants focused their attention to see if their nas were on the screen.
“I’m in! Hahaha!”
“I’m in! Hahaha!”
“503, I’m in too! Hahaha!”
…
All of the participants who had found their nas were beaming with excitent.
Those who did not find their nas were naturally in low spirits.
It was a competition, so so were happy while others were sad.
“All participants who have entered the points-based competition, please gather at the light marker.”
“All participants who have entered the points-based competition, please gather at the light marker!”
“All participants who have entered the points-based competition, please gather at the light marker!”
The head referee stood in the air and shouted.
After everyone had gathered, the staff ca over to confirm their identities to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
Whether it was an exam or a competition, there would always be cases of cheating.
“Head Referee, the identities of these participants have been confird,” the staff reported.
The head referee nodded and said, “All contestants, congratulations on successfully passing the elimination round. You will enter the next stage of the competition, which is also the points-based competition.
“I’m sure all of you know the rules of the points-based competition, but I’ll still repeat it. ”
“In this round, the formulas for ten different spirit pills will be provided. They will all be ones you’ve never studied about before.
“There are detailed pill refinent steps on the formulas. The difficulty level of each spirit pill is different. So are difficult, while others are simple.
“We do not specify that you are to produce all ten kinds of pills.
“The judges’ scores will mainly be based on the number of spirit pills. As long as it isn’t a useless pill, no matter how good the quality of your spirit pills is or how good the dicinal effects are, the scores will still be the sa.
“Therefore, the quantity of spirit pills is crucial.
“The refinent ti will be longer for the more difficult pills.
“And the opposite is the case for the simple pills.
“However, more points will be awarded for the more difficult pills and fewer points for the simple pills.
“It’s up to you to decide what to do. I’m sure you’ve all laid out your tactics.
“You have three hours during this competition. You can withdraw during this period, but I hope that all of you can complete the competition.”
