s.At least it has alleviated the danger everyone is facing now, and it's also the last thing we can do to help everyone.Looking at the seven people walking away, Di Hong hesitated for a moment before...As Master Hui's voice faded, a raspy voice suddenly echoed from the four empty chairs: "This Ginger Cloud, without a doubt, is a disciple of the ancient immortal!"

"I originally wanted to use this opportunity to lure Gu Bulao to my sect, and also help Mei'er resolve her heart knot."

"Never expected that, not only is this Ginger Cloud quite capable himself, but also Mei'er has stepped forward to protect him. Alas!"

Next, another aged voice rang out: "No wonder you condone what Yang Shizhong and his disciple have done!"

"However, given Merelle's personality, even if Gu Bulao really came, she wouldn't be able to easily resolve her heartache!"

"Since she's willing to protect Jiang Yun, it means she still cares about that ancient being!"

A raspy voice sighed again, “That’s all we can do then. After all, Mei Er's knot remains unresolved, and there seems to be no hope of breaking through!”

"Now that the Shan Hai Realm is turbulent with wind and rain, the stronger she becomes, the greater the benefit to our Yaoshhenzong!"

Master Hui listened to the two voices' conversation until now, finally opening his mouth and saying: "What should we do next Should we forcibly capture Jiang Yun and let Gu Bulao lead people"

After a moment of silence, a hoarse voice said: "Not appropriate!"

"From Meier's attitude, it seems she is ready to handle this impartially. Let's see how far Jiang Yun can make it in the Dan Competition this time!"

"I also asked Xiao Zheng about the poison his senior brother suffered, and he said it should be from the Forest of Hell."

Besides the Supreme Ancestor, not even a few of us are confident in our ability to refine an antidote. Therefore, as long as he fails to pass the five trials, then we will be unable to request the Ancestor's intervention.

Then, we can use this as a condition for him to call Gu Bulao!

"Master Hui also said, 'If what Xiao Zheng says is true, then this Ginger Cloud is exceptionally gifted in the Dao of medicine and has passed through five realms'

"

A hoarse voice laughed, "Impossible!"

Although Mei'er gave Jiangyun an opportunity, she actually secretly increased the difficulty for him!

"If it were the Five Stages of the Pharmacist's Path, he might still have a slim chance of passing them all, but in the Pill Duel Competition, he has absolutely no chance!"

"Even if he has some talent in the Dao of Medicine, it's only relative to other cultivators!"

In my Yaoshen Sect, his talent is nothing to mention! Otherwise, why wouldn't he cultivate the Dao of Medicine

Moreover, in this grand competition, let alone Li Changlin wouldn't let Jiang Yun get away with it, Guan Yiming will also be participating at that time. It's simply impossible for Jiang Yun to emerge victorious in the end!

Even the aged voice agreed, "I also think so. I guess, at most, this Jiang Yun can only pass through three levels."

Master Hui nodded and closed his eyes, saying: "We'll talk about all that after the Great Medicinal Duel is over!"

……

Xiao Zheng, with Ginger Cloud, almost ran all the way out of the Enforcement Hall. Then, they went through three teleportation arrays in a row and entered a valley. Only then did he stop and say, "Alright, this time we are completely safe!"

Obviously, Xiao Zheng is worried about something else happening.

Jiang Yun smiled faintly and said, "I've caused trouble for Big Brother Xiao!"

"Brother, you're being too polite!"

Xiao Zheng also smiled and said: "Master still cares for you very much! This is where Master lives. In our sect, it's considered forbidden ground, and no one would dare to enter without permission."

"Even on ordinary days, it's rare for us disciples to get a chance to come here!"

Jiang Yun took a brief look around and found that although this mountain valley was not large in size, the environment was extremely quiet.

Not far away there is a lake, the water of which is crystal clear.

Two three-story houses were built by the lake. One was inscribed with "Bugu Lúshě", while the other read "Bugu Yàoshě".

After withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Yun said, "Senior Mei's kindness, I naturally understand. However, Big Brother Xiao, you should tell me about the Dan Dao Competition first, so that I can have some preparation."

Jiang Yun's only concern, of course, was still the matter of seeking medicine. Moreover, the grand alchemy competition would be held in three days, time was pressing, so he had to understand the situation clearly first.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything. Come on, let's go to the pharmacy!"

Two people walked into the pharmacy, and as soon as they stepped through the doorway, a faint fragrance filled their nostrils. Ginger Yun immediately felt refreshed and her spirits lifted.

The fragrance came from a burning incense stick on the table. Though Gingercloud didn't recognize it, she knew it had to be something good.

"Ginger, brother, this is my master's own concocted Awakening Soul Incense. It's beneficial for both ordinary people and cultivators. Come, let's sit down and talk!"

Two people sat down, Xiao Zheng spoke first: "Don't think that Master let you participate in the Dan Dou Grand Competition deliberately to make things difficult for you. In fact, the content of the Dan Dou Grand Competition is basically the same as the Five Passes of Pharmacy."

Every monastic force will, at intervals, arrange a grand competition among its disciples to assess their progress in cultivation.

As a sect of alchemists, the Yaoshenzong naturally arranged a grand competition to assess their disciples' progress in alchemy.

The grand apothecary competition is open to all disciples of the Yaoshen Sect, even apprentices.

The whole competition is divided into five rounds.

The first round tests herbal identification; the second round tests spiritual energy manipulation; the third round tests pharmaceutical sensitivity; the fourth round tests divine consciousness; and the fifth round tests alchemy!

The competition adopts a knockout system. Each round requires passing to qualify for the next round of competition. Once a competitor fails, they are immediately eliminated with no second chances.

In the history of Yaosh Shen Zong's annual competition, only a handful of people have ever reached the fifth round. Therefore, the difficulty level is extremely high.

After listening to Xiao Zheng's explanation, Jiang Yun couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Xiao, doesn't that mean I have to defeat everyone participating in the grand competition to be eligible to ask any pharmacist from your sect for help refining medicine"

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Not bad! But you don't need to worry, as long as you pass through the four rounds, your master will help you. With your master's attainments in pharmacology, he will definitely be able to refine an antidote."

For Xiao Zheng's words, Jiang Yun did not respond.

It's not that Mei Bu Gu is not trusted, but he can't risk his third senior brother's life. Therefore, he naturally wants to ask the highest-ranking alchemist of Yaoshhenzong to take action.

He also lacked the confidence that he could surpass all the disciples of the Yaoshending in a duel of alchemy.

"Brother Xiao, what exactly are the five rounds of competition about"

"Medicinal herb identification is to randomly select some herbs, you just need to say their names and characteristics. The more you identify, the better; "

"Qi manipulation, just like last time at the Luo family, but the method should be somewhat different. The specifics will only be known when the competition begins."

"Knowing the medicinal properties, is about judging the heat of the pill refining process without using divine awareness."

This round is mainly targeting those disciples of the Tongmai realm, after all, they don't have a divine sense.

Ginger nodded, he deeply understood this. Without a spirit awareness, he relied solely on his senses to judge the refining process when making pills.

After obtaining a divine consciousness, there is no need for such trouble. A single sweep of the divine consciousness is even clearer than what the eyes see.

As for the God's Awareness Test, it depends on how strong your awareness is. The specific contents of the competition are also different each year, and they are only announced when the competition begins.

"As for the final elixir, that's where true alchemy knowledge is tested. Don't worry about the ingredients, the sect will prepare everything you need!"

After explaining the details of the medicinal duel to Jiang Yun, a look of hesitation appeared on Xiao Zheng's face.

Of course Jiang Yun saw through him, smiling and saying, “Brother Xiao, is there anything we can’t say to each other”

"Xiao Zheng was the first to speak, "Elder Brother Jiang, I know you like to hide your talents and keep a low profile, but listen to my advice. During the Alchemy Competition, don't do that!"

"You must bring out your absolute best and perform in the most flamboyant and outstanding way possible!"
