Cultivating With The Nine Dragons System

Discussions were heard from all directions. On the east side of the arena, there were two special figures in the crowd.    

One of them was an old man. He was so old that he looked like he could die at any time. Very few people in the Fifth Heavenly Layer knew him, but those who truly knew him respected him.    

This old man was someone who could shake the Fifth Heaven with just a stomp of his foot.    

The Great Elder of Chiang family - Chiang Wo.    

Next to Chiang Wo was a girl in colorful clothes. She wore a colorful bamboo hat and her face was covered with a veil, making it impossible to see her face.    

However, her body exuded a unique aura that attracted everyone's attention.    

However, no one dared to approach her. Although the old man next to her didn't emit any aura, he gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.    

This woman was Chiang Simeng, who had walked out of the Bright Divine Temple with the permission of the patriarch.    

She hadn't walked out of the temple for twenty years. The girl's eyes were a little dazed.    

She had not seen such a lively scene for a long time.    

She had seen Wang Hao's performance. Under the veil, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.    

As if he had sensed the smile on the girl's face, Chiang Wo who was standing at the side felt very gratified.    

Since twenty years ago, he hadn't seen the girl smile. Instead, after the appearance of this young man called Wang Hao, the girl's smile had increased.    

"Congratulations, young lady, for teaching you a good disciple."    

"Uncle, I didn't take him in as my disciple."    

"However, his alchemy skills were passed down by young lady. Even if he didn't have the status of a master and disciple, it was all thanks to young lady."    

Chiang Simeng shook her head slightly, "Before we met, his alchemy skills were already very outstanding. I only taught him some of my experiences in alchemy."    

Chiang Wo did not continue to refute but looked at Chiang Mao.    

"I didn't expect that Eldest Young Master would be defeated."    

Chiang Simeng had the opposite opinion, "He didn't lose, but underestimated his opponent. My nephew's talent in alchemy is on par with mine. With Ying Zheng, the chairman of the Alchemist Association, personally guiding him, his current alchemy skills... I'm afraid he's still above me."    

Chiang Wo was slightly surprised when he heard Chiang Simeng's evaluation of Chiang Mao.    

"If it wasn't for Chiang Mao's complete confidence in his alchemy skill, how would he have dared to make a bet with the family's Medicine Pill business?    

If the Medicine Pill business is really lost, with my father's personality, what will happen to Chiang Mao... "    

Chiang Wo didn't care at all, "There are so many young masters. Although the eldest young master is the most outstanding, as long as the patriarch is willing, it's not impossible to nurture a more outstanding young master."    

When he said this, Chiang Wo's tone was extremely cold. Compared to when he told the second young master, Chiang Ze, that the patriarch approved of them, the difference was like heaven and earth.    

Chiang Simeng sighed, "Great Elder, after I came back, did father go to the Seventh Heaven to look for the Thousand Chance Supreme Being?"    

"He did." Chiang Wo's voice trembled slightly, and his words carried deep sorrow, "The Thousand Chance Sovereign said that the bloodline of my race has been extinct. Miss, you are the last person with the bloodline of our Chiang family."    

Chiang Simeng was silent for a long time, "Actually, it is you guys who value the bloodline inheritance too much. Although Chiang Mao and Chiang Ze's father married into the Chiang family, as long as they have the surname Jiang, they are also members of the Chiang family.    

Uncle, you and father are paranoid."    

...    

On the stage, Chiang Mao had finished his test and handed a perfect Heavenly Eye Meridian Opening Pill to Elder Lu.    

Without waiting for Elder Lu to speak, Chiang Mao walked straight down the arena.    

The rich pill fragrance drifted into Elder Lu's nose. Without any need to judge, he knew that what Chiang Mao gave him was the perfect Heavenly Eye Meridian Opening Pill.    

After Wang Hao, Chiang Mao also refined a perfect Medicine Pill!    

Elder Lu looked at the place where Chiang Mao had just refined the ___. There were still two sets of spiritual herbs in the wooden box.    

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's really like the Yangtze River pushing past the waves. These juniors are really monstrous!"    

After that, he announced, "Chiang Mao, you have passed the test!"    

After Wang Hao and Chiang Mao left the stage, the first round of the preliminary round did not have any points to look at. Although there were people who completed the test one after another, the quality of the Medicine Pill refined was far inferior to the Medicine Pill refined by Wang Hao and Chiang Mao.    

The second round of the preliminary round did not have many bright points, but the third round gave people a pleasant surprise.    

When the third round was carried out, the sky was already slightly dark, but the spectators were not few.    

Under the arena, Wang Hao observed the Pill Master on the stage.    

The three Pill Masters that he had noticed earlier were all in this round. He had already learned a thing or two about their identities from the discussions of the others.    

The man from the Essence Returning Sect was called Wang Ling. He was a famous genius of the Essence Returning Sect, the Pill Master. He had always been famous. It was said that before he joined the Essence Returning Sect, the Alchemist Association had tried to recruit him several times, but he was rejected.    

The blind man was called Ba Mu. He was considered a legendary figure in the Fifth Heavenly Layer. He didn't belong to any major power. He was obsessed with alchemy. It was said that his alchemy skill had already surpassed some of the elders of the Alchemist Association.    

As for the masked woman who was emitting waves of divine energy, her name was Fan Ying. She was a member of the Sun Moon Sect.    

When Wang Hao heard the warriors nearby talking about this woman, he lowered his voice, as if it was taboo to talk about this woman.    

Wang Hao remembered that there was one piece of information he had collected in Carefree Tower, and it was about Sun Moon Sect.    

The Sun Moon Sect was the most mysterious of the Seven Great Forces of Fifth Heaven. They rarely interacted with others, and the great gates of the sect were always closed.    

Furthermore, the disciples that the Sun Moon Sect recruited were all children younger than three years old.    

The Sun Moon Sect seemed to be a hidden sect, filled with mystery.    

Elder Lu walked onto the arena. This was the last round of the preliminary round, he decided to change the assessment method.    

"The topic of this round is pill refining speed!"    

Elder Lu paused for a moment before continuing, "From the moment I start the countdown, each of you will refine an Earth Rank Grade One Medicine Pill. Every Earth Rank Second Grade Medicine Pill refined will be counted as two points. Every Earth Rank Third Grade Medicine Pill refined will be counted as two points. It's three, and so on.    

However, if you fail once, two points will be deducted, and I will monitor the process of every single one of you.    

Within six hours, whoever obtains ten points first will be able to pass!    

As for what Medicine Pill you wish to refine, there are no restrictions. However, the spirit herbs used to refine the Medicine Pill must be the spirit herbs provided by the Alchemist Association to be effective."    

After saying that, Elder Lu clapped his hands.    

Soon, a group of disciples wearing the Alchemist Association's uniform each held two baskets of spirit herbs and placed them on the arena.    

Seeing this scene, the martial artists below the arena took a deep breath. So many spirit herbs were worth more than a thousand gold coins.    

The Alchemist Association's wealth was undoubtedly revealed.    

Wang Hao swept a glance and immediately counted the number of spirit herbs.    

There was a total of a hundred baskets of spiritual herbs, which was a total of a hundred spiritual herbs.    

Wang Hao found out that among these 100 spiritual herbs, 80 of them were common spiritual herbs, and the remaining 20 spiritual herbs were precious spiritual herbs. Only when refining an Earth Rank Second Grade and above Medicine Pill would they be used.    

He thought in his heart, In this round of the examination, nominally, the speed of alchemy is tested, but in reality, the test is the quantity and quality of each Pill Master's pill formula. The more knowledgeable the Pill Master is, the more advantageous this competition is.    

Not only that, if the pill concoction speed increases, it will be easy to fail. If you fail once, two points will be deducted, which is the same as wiping out two Earth Rank Grade One Medicine Pill results.    

As for what grade of Medicine Pill one wants to refine, one needs to carefully consider what kind of Pill Master one wants to participate in the competition.    

The difficulty of this competition is not low!"    

Elder Lu said seriously," The spirit herbs used for this competition are unlimited. It can begin! "    

As soon as Elder Lu finished speaking, the Pill Master on the stage immediately rushed towards the basket that stored the spirit herbs.    

Spirit herbs were also divided into good and bad. If one could obtain some good spirit herbs, the success rate of refining the Medicine Pill would naturally be higher.    

However, there was one person who did not snatch it. It was precisely the blind Ba Mu.    

He waited until everyone had finished selecting the spiritual herbs before slowly walking over.    

Wang Hao looked at Ba Mu curiously. At this time, the bottom of the basket of spiritual herbs had already been seen. The rest were only some broken branches and rotten leaves.    

Although Elder Lu had said that the supply of spirit herbs was unlimited, it would only be replenished after the bottom of the basket was seen.    

In other words, if Ba Mu wanted to refine pills, he needed to use these broken branches and rotten leaves.    

As the saying goes, a clever woman could not cook without rice. A powerful Pill Master would not be able to do anything even if it came into contact with a pile of rotten grass.    

Some of the martial artists below the arena were unwilling to accept this for Ba Mu. It was clearly a very powerful Pill Master, but it would encounter such injustice.    

It was very obvious that Ba Mu knew his current situation. He squatted down and used the Essence Energy Detection to find Luo Guang's position.    

The Essence Energy Detection was the most commonly used method for martial artists to fight. It could clearly feel the surrounding scenery.    

But to find spiritual herbs, the Essence Energy Detection was not so easy to use.    

In Ba Mu's mind, he could only distinguish the vague shape of the spiritual herb. As for what kind of spiritual herb it was, he needed to determine it through his sense of smell and taste.    

He put away the spiritual herb that he could smell. If he could not smell it, he would tear off a leaf and put it in his mouth to chew.    

The moment Ba Mu opened his mouth, Wang Hao saw his pitch black tongue.    

This was the symptom of being poisoned. The medicine had 30% poison. Ba Mu had tasted the herbs all year round. The poison had accumulated in his tongue and could not be removed.    

For a moment, Wang Hao felt a deep respect for him. Only those who truly loved alchemy could do such a thing.    

Ba Mu picked the spirit herbs very slowly. An hour later, he picked out all the spirit herbs he wanted from the 100 baskets.    

At this time, the fastest Pill Master had already gotten four points.    

Wang Hao swept his gaze across the arena. Most of the Pill Master's strategies were to first refine the Earth Rank Grade One Medicine Pill that he had the most confidence in.    

But there was one person who was different. The Essence Returning Sect's Wang Ling refined an Earth Rank Second Grade Medicine Pill, and he refined two at the same time!    

"This person..."    

Wang Hao frowned slightly. One Pill Furnace could be refined into many Medicine Pills, but it had to be the same type of Medicine Pill.    

But Wang Ling was different. He used one Pill Furnace to refine two types of Medicine Pill at the same time!    

This sort of thing was something that everyone had never heard of before!    

For a time, many gazes focused on Wang Ling.
