Chapter 229 They've had their eyes on Zhong Lingxin for a long time.
As a result, many cultivators no longer believe in these bloodline legends.
Unexpectedly, a member of the dragon bloodline suddenly awakened in front of everyone.
The judge walked onto the stage and announced that Long Ling'er had won.
Having awakened her bloodline, Long Ling'er sat cross-legged on the arena, her aura rising steadily, soon attracting tribulation clouds. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she began to advance in rank.
She looked at Zhong Lingxin with a pained expression and weakly called out, "Master!"
Helpless, Zhong Lingxin had no choice but to ask the supervising official to hand over a bag of array plates and spiritual medicine to Long Ling'er.
She dared not step off the stage, lest people say she had voluntarily surrendered.
Having received the tribulation-crossing items from Zhong Lingxin, Long Ling'er shouted at the ten people ranked lower than her: "Anyone who wants to challenge me, come on! Don't wait until I'm undergoing my tribulation and then try to take advantage of me. I don't accept that kind of bargain."
Everyone laughed.
In the arena, it often happens that someone suddenly has an epiphany and advances in rank. Usually, a winner is decided before an advancement.
Of course, after being promoted, you can no longer participate in competitions at the same level.
So many people are holding back, hoping to advance in the finals and secure a top ranking.
The supervising officials questioned each person to confirm that no one had challenged them before letting Long Ling'er off the stage to undergo her tribulation at the Qingling City Tribulation Arena.
Zhong Lingxin looked up at the sky and estimated the time. Judging from the speed at which the tribulation clouds were flying in, Long Ling'er would probably be able to face the tribulation lightning in about three days.
No wonder no one dared to challenge Long Ling'er for second place at this time.
These three days will be a period of unstoppable power for Long Ling'er.
Long Ling'er's second place has stabilized.
The crowd's gaze then swept over the remaining nine arenas.
No one wants to challenge Zhong Lingxin anymore.
She defeated the top three favorites in three consecutive matches. Her strength is undeniable, and she's not someone to be trifled with. She should probably give up and try challenging the others instead.
Soon, Mei Yuqing was challenged.
And it was one match after another.
The first match had just finished when the second one started.
The second match had just finished when the third match began.
After three rounds in a row, the desire to snag a bargain became even stronger among those who came later.
Poor Mei Yuqing, despite her impressive skills, accepted ten challenges in a row.
They managed to hold onto third place and intimidated the cultivators behind them.
As the audience member with the best view, Zhong Lingxin gained a lot, recording several mementos to study later.
The Nascent Soul stage combat power competition has ended, with the Qingyun Sect taking the top three spots and scoring 32 points, a typical good start.
Next up is the competition for the Four Arts.
The Qingyun Sect offered Zhong Lingxin two jobs: alchemy and weapon crafting.
The Alchemy Association and the Weapon Forging Association sent people to supervise the competition.
As is customary in previous years, the cultivators sent by each sect possess exceptionally strong spiritual senses and are capable of refining pills and crafting artifacts beyond their level.
Generally speaking, it's about skipping one level.
Taking the Nascent Soul stage as an example, under normal circumstances, one can refine fourth-grade pills and artifacts.
If one is one level higher, one can refine a fifth-grade item.
However, there are a very few who can transcend two levels and refine sixth-grade alchemical artifacts.
The first thing they did was refine elixirs.
Since all the participants are disciples carefully trained by various sects, the sect competition is naturally different from the examination. It saves the basic knowledge test and allows them to directly use their best pills.
Zhong Lingxin signed up for the sixth-grade Jade Heart Pill, a kind of spiritual pill that can help with damage to spiritual consciousness. It is most suitable for taking when undergoing tribulation or when inner demons are just emerging.
Of all the pills, those for cultivating spiritual awareness are the most difficult to refine, followed by those for refining the body.
In previous competitions, no Nascent Soul cultivator had ever refined a sixth-grade divine sense pill.
When Zhong Lingxin's competition pills were announced, everyone turned to look.
The competition materials revealed that Zhong Lingxin held a prominent position in the Qingyun Sect as a fifth-grade alchemist. Naturally, some people wondered if Zhong Lingxin might be aiming to refine sixth-grade pills.
However, the most difficult type of pill to refine is the one that focuses on spiritual energy.
It still startled everyone.
Ignoring the outside noise, Zhong Lingxin stood quietly inside the protective shield of the arena, carefully examining the spiritual herbs sent by the Alchemist Association.
Her divine sense probed into each spiritual herb, examining every leaf and the pit of every spiritual fruit without missing a single detail.
After a long while, she raised her hand and asked to change the two kinds of spiritual herbs: "Supervisor, these two spiritual herbs are not of good quality."
The medicinal properties of this Liushen flower have been somewhat lost.
Although this Qingyang grass is very fresh, the place where it grows has insufficient yang energy, resulting in it not containing enough yang energy. If you are not careful, it will cause the stove to explode.
I demand that these two medicinal herbs be replaced.
After the judges and the supervisors examined the elixir carefully, they all nodded and smiled.
Zhong Lingxin is right, these two medicinal herbs are indeed not perfect.
Soon, the replacement elixir was brought over.
During the process of changing her dressing, Zhong Lingxin once again attracted everyone's attention.
People have even higher expectations for her now.
Especially the judges sitting on the stage.
The Alchemist Association desperately needs an injection of fresh blood!
Zhong Lingxin took out a gleaming alchemy furnace.
This is a pill furnace that the sect specially gave to her for this competition.
The alchemy furnace is called the Glazed Furnace. Its greatest advantage is that you can see the process of refining the spiritual herbs inside the furnace with your eyes, so you can be lazy and use your divine sense less.
With the judge's command, "Begin!"
All the participating alchemists sprang into action.
Zhong Lingxin went through the hundreds of medicinal herbs used to refine the Jade Heart Pill again and arranged them in order.
Then, she put the first medicinal herb in.
The elixir is refined into a spiritual liquid.
Zhong Lingxin carefully refined away the impurities in the spiritual liquid, then wrapped it up and stored it aside.
The second one, the third one...
As the medicinal herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace one by one.
Zhong Lingxin needs to wrap up more and more spiritual medicines.
Her spiritual sense and energy were gradually becoming insufficient.
She quickly swallowed the Spirit-Replenishing Pill and the Divine-Replenishing Pill, and continued to control the spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace.
Occasionally, a gasp or two would rang out from the stands.
That's because some alchemists inside the spiritual energy shield burned their medicinal herbs, and the black smoke from the smoke turned the spiritual energy shield black.
Zhong Ling didn't even look up, completely oblivious to the situation of others.
She had to succeed on her first try.
Otherwise, her spiritual consciousness and power would not be sufficient to support her in refining a second batch.
The alchemists on the judging panel were also aware of this.
They were all watching Zhong Lingxin nervously, hoping she could succeed in the process.
Since the former president ascended to heaven, the status of the Alchemist Association has plummeted.
They desperately need skilled alchemists to fill their positions.
But a good alchemist is not so easy to come by.
The alchemists of major sects are closely guarded by their own sects. At most, they can only register their names in their association and occasionally show their faces. They are not allowed to refine a single pill for the alchemist association.
But Zhong Lingxin is different.
The Qingyun Sect is eager to advance to the next level, so it will definitely try to get someone into the Alchemist Association.
They've had their eyes on Zhong Lingxin for a long time.
