Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 67 Open Challenge
[Yunxin Dan] can be said to be the most important elixir in the Dan Hall, so Wei Chengzong introduced it first.

Due to their special nature, second-level elixirs are not within the scope of assessment.

Seeing that the three elders showed no strange expressions and did not ask any specific questions, Wei Chengzong felt relieved.

Now, only he and Liu Qinghui can refine Yunxin Pill.

However, his success rate in refining the Yunxin Pill this year was only about 25%.

The reason why the overall success rate can reach 30% is thanks to Liu Qinghui's rapid improvement in alchemy skills over the past year, which has raised the success rate to nearly 40%.

If the three elders asked about the success rate of individual pills in public, he would certainly be ashamed.

Wei Chengzong then opened the next pill bottle, and several crystal clear, spiritual pills appeared in the air.

"Last year, we refined 39 first-grade, high-quality healing pills, the Qing Fu Pill. The overall success rate is 29%."

"Last year, we refined 42 first-grade high-quality recovery pills [Shui Xi Dan], with an overall success rate of 30%."

"Last year, we refined 87 first-class, mid-grade, advanced cultivation elixir pills [Sanyuan Pills], with an overall success rate of 31%."

……

Wei Chengzong introduced these elixirs one by one, which were the most commonly refined elixirs in the alchemy hall.

Basically, there are three types: improving cultivation, healing, and restoring magic power.

Although the three elders did not speak, judging from their relaxed attitudes, they seemed satisfied.

Because this year's overall success rate and amount of pills produced are higher than last year.

After Wei Chengzong finished his introduction, Ning Zhongjiu suddenly asked, "In addition to these elixirs, how are the other new elixir recipes being researched?"

Wei Chengzong said quickly: "Among the newly acquired pill recipes, [Bai Lu Dan] and [Shui Luo Dan] have been initially comprehended and thoroughly understood, and now have a success rate of more than 10%. I believe that this year we can reach a success rate of nearly 30%."

"The supply of spiritual materials for [Xuepo Pills] was insufficient before, so there was not much progress. However, this month, the Alchemy Hall directly obtained ten spiritual materials for Xuepo Pills. I think there will be some progress..."

Ning Zhongjiu interrupted him: "What about the [Yulong Pill]? This year, the family has spent a lot of effort and provided nearly thirty spiritual materials for the Yulong Pill. There shouldn't be a problem of insufficient spiritual materials. Is there any progress on this pill?"

When Wei Chengzong heard Ning Zhongjiu ask this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Uh... the Yulong Pill is extremely difficult to refine. Although our Alchemy Hall has tried hard to comprehend it, there is still little progress... The pill has not yet been refined..."

Ning Zhongjiu's thick black eyebrows furrowed, and a sharp aura suddenly emanated from him.

The huge auditorium suddenly became depressing and the temperature seemed to drop drastically.

Wei Chengzong suddenly shuddered and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He wanted to reach out and wipe the sweat off his face, but in the end he didn't dare to move.

At this time, Ning Weize tried to smooth things over and said, "Third brother, the Yulong Pill is an ancient recipe after all, and it is not that easy to refine. Give them some more time."

Ning Zhongjiu then snorted lightly, his aura retreating, but he still said in a cold voice: "The medicinal effect of Yulong Pill is far stronger than Yunxin Pill. The family spent a huge price to obtain this pill formula and has high hopes for this pill. They even built a spiritual medicine garden to provide special spiritual materials for the refining of this pill. I don't want to end up with nothing!"

"I will give you another year. You must give me a satisfactory explanation by this time next year."

Wei Chengzong hastily made the assurance and heaved a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but feel bitter when he thought of the Yulong Pill.

He had no confidence at all that he could make the pill within a year.

We can only place our hopes on Liu Qinghui now. Ning Zhongjiu let Wei Chengzong go.

He stood up and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You are all the pillars of my Ning family. You have worked hard in the past year. If you have any requests, please tell me now and I will satisfy them as appropriate."

As soon as these words were spoken, the alchemy apprentices below the stage all showed envy on their faces. It was obvious that what Ning Zhongjiu said did not include them.

Ning Jideng's face showed excitement. Just as he was about to speak, Ning Fa took the lead.

Ning Zhongjiu saw Ning Fa standing up first, raised his thick eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile: "Ning Fa, what do you want? Just say it."

Ning Ruiming, who was standing aside, looked at Ning Fa who had a calm face, and for some reason he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Ning Shaohong, who had been silent all this time, smiled, obviously knowing what Ning Fa was going to do.

Ning Fa said in a deep voice: "Report to the Third Elder, I want to learn how to refine the Sanyuan Pill."

Ning Zhongjiu was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Since you have already advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, it is only natural for you to learn Sanyuan Dan. Why do you want to bring it up separately?"

Ning Fa smiled slightly: "Because I not only want to learn how to refine this pill, but also want to compete with someone else in refining this pill, so I want the Third Elder to be a witness."

Ning Zhongjiu's eyes flashed with surprise.

He looked at Ning Fa with a half-smile and said calmly, "Tell me, who do you want to compete with, and how do you want to compete?"

Ning Fa immediately looked at Ning Ruiming and said decisively: "I want to compete with Ning Ruiming in refining Sanyuan Dan. The limit is three months. After three months, we will see who can refine the Sanyuan Dan with higher level!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Fourth Elder Ning Weize's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said gently: "Xiao Fa, you probably haven't refined Sanyuan Dan before, I remember this pill is one of the most difficult first-grade middle-grade pills."

"Since Ruiming is already a first-class mid-level alchemist, even if his success rate of refining Sanyuan Pills is not 30%, it should be close to that. Are you sure you want to compete with him in refining Sanyuan Pills? And the deadline is only three months?"

Ning Ruiming couldn't believe it at first, then his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, anger surged, and his expression became extremely ugly.

As soon as Ning Fa reached the middle stage of his training, he challenged him to an alchemy contest, without mentioning the outcome.

It's obvious that they don't take him seriously, which is simply a humiliation.

Liu Qinghui looked at Ning Fa in surprise and doubt, obviously unable to understand why Ning Fa did this.

But she didn't think Ningfa was crazy.

Ning Zhongjiu also frowned and said, "Young people should be aggressive, but they should not be blindly arrogant and aim too high."

Ning Fa bowed to Ning Weize and Ning Zhongjiu and said calmly, "I am not acting impulsively. I just want to use this method to motivate myself and stimulate my potential. Maybe I can succeed in the challenge?"

After Ning Fa finished saying this, Ning Zhongjiu and Ning Weize both showed playful smiles on their faces.

At this time, they naturally realized that Ning Fa's challenge to Ning Ruiming was not casual.

The relationship between the two is probably like water and fire, so Ning Fa openly challenged Ning Ruiming at this time.

Ning Weize chuckled and said, "Third brother, don't forget what Shao Hong said. Since Xiao Fa can achieve that level, it is natural for him to have such confidence."

Ning Zhongjiu seemed to have thought of something, his expression eased a little, and he nodded and said, "Our Ning family has always been a martial arts family. Since the children of the family often compete with each other in martial arts, it is natural that alchemists can also compete with each other in alchemy. What do you think, Ruiming?"
