The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 409 Alchemy Competition
Now she needs to stabilize her cultivation and improve her alchemy skills, otherwise the pills she refines will not be able to keep up with her cultivation level.

"Good good!"

Qin Ming nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with the gifts Song Wanning had given him.

Only after Song Wanning closed the door did he belatedly ask, "What did Wanning say she was going to do?"

Both Fengxue and Cangyang had expressions that were hard to put into words.

"She said she was going to refine pills..."

The three of them exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with horror.

Does this guy even want people to live? Such rapid cultivation speed is bad enough, but he can even refine pills?!
The group felt an immense pressure bearing down on them.

"Stop playing around! Junior Sister is in seclusion now, and Wan Ning has also started her seclusion. We can't let ourselves fall behind!!!"

After they finished speaking, the three of them immediately parted ways and returned to their respective rooms.

They absolutely cannot be left behind!
So everyone on the vast Zhuiyun Peak went into seclusion, leaving only a few servants tending the medicinal herb fields to come and go.

News of Jiang Cen's punishment quickly spread throughout the sect, sparking much discussion.

When Jiang Cen was taken away on the third day, everyone kept a close eye on him until it was confirmed that Jiang Cen had been taken away by the Enforcement Hall. Only then did the disciples secretly celebrate.

"That wicked woman is finally gone!"

"Yeah, they've finally been punished this time. Before, when she targeted us, nobody did anything about it!"

"Who told you not to be Elder Liu Xingzhi's disciple?"

"Hehehe..."

The disciples had long been dissatisfied with Jiang Cen, and now they finally felt much better.

As they chatted, the topic shifted to other things.

"The new alchemy competition is about to begin. I wonder how many people from our sect will participate this time?"

"Tsk, I heard the prize for this alchemy competition is a trip to the Pill Sect in the Central Region to visit and learn..."

"Really?"

"Of course! This information is absolutely true, without the slightest bit of falsehood!"

"Hiss, if that's really the case, wouldn't the top three in this year's competition be set for life?"

"Even without a reward, they were already making great strides..."

The crowd spoke with envy; of the four arts of cultivation, alchemy was the most lucrative and held the highest status.

After all, while other things can be dispensed with, elixirs are essential, whether for repairing injuries or restoring spiritual energy.

Therefore, everyone greatly admires and respects those who can refine elixirs.

With the alchemy competition just around the corner, all the alchemists are busy preparing.

Meanwhile, inside the Medicine King Sect, Wu Qingfeng was discussing the upcoming competition with Mu Zixu.

"The top three winners of this alchemy competition will have the opportunity to visit and learn from the Central Region Alchemy Sect, which is a rare opportunity."

"If we can obtain a new inheritance, our inheritance in the lower realm will be even richer, and the reputation of the Medicine King Sect will one day resound throughout the entire Spirit Realm!"

Wu Qingfeng's eyes were full of light, eager to immediately promote and develop the Medicine King Sect.

"You must carefully select your disciples for the competition; we absolutely cannot lose!"

"Our Medicine King Sect cannot afford to lose face like that!"

This alchemy competition brings together alchemists from all four regions, and demons and monsters will also participate.

However, alchemists among the demon race who can refine pills are extremely rare, almost negligible.

Therefore, the main competition comes from the demon race and the human race.

As for the human race, only the Medicine King Sect is a sect that focuses on alchemy. If they were to lose, they would truly lose all face.

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I will definitely handle this matter well!"

Wu Qingfeng knew the gravity of the situation and quickly nodded in agreement. Then Mu Zixu said, "Let's put Song Wanning's matter aside for now."

"Once the competition is over, I refuse to believe she'll still be hiding in the Ancient Cold Sect!" A fierce glint flashed in Mu Zixu's eyes.

His life had been incredibly smooth, except for the relocation of his entire clan. The only troublesome thing was Daoqing.

Now that Song Wanning has appeared, how can he not hold a grudge?

If I were still in the lower realm, I would have taken action myself long ago.

"Rest assured, Ancestor, Song Wanning's carefree life won't last much longer!"

Wu Qingfeng sneered. As long as Song Wanning left the Ancient Cold Sect alone, he would never let her escape.

……

Song Wanning was unaware of the alchemy competition.

She was immersed in the world of alchemy all day long. The inheritance given to her by Daoqing clearly recorded the methods of alchemy and some possible problems.

Even the solution after it occurs is described very clearly.

Song Wanning was already quite perceptive, and with these inheritances, alchemy became incredibly easy for her.

As her alchemy skills improved, she felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

"No wonder everyone wants to inherit this. It's different from ordinary alchemical texts; it can save people decades of detours!"

She put away the refined pills with great satisfaction.

Now, she can refine seventh-grade spiritual pills.

Alchemy is related to the alchemy furnace, cultivation level, spiritual power, and alchemical fire.

Song Wanning now possesses powerful spiritual energy and a high level of cultivation, and the alchemy furnace she uses is even a celestial furnace...

It was not surprising that they were able to refine one top-grade seventh-rank elixir after another.

Just as she was about to continue refining the elixir, a message came from her second senior uncle outside the door.

She glanced at it, and since she was also planning to rest for a while, she opened the door.

Qin Ming was waiting at the door, his face beaming with excitement.

Upon seeing Song Wanning come out, he immediately asked, "Wanning, the Alchemy Competition is about to begin. Do you want to sign up?"

"The Alchemy Competition?"

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, you just ascended, so you may not know yet."

"The Alchemy Competition is held every ten years, and the participating alchemists come from all four regions."

"And the rewards for this competition are even more amazing—they can go to the Central Region!"

"The Central Domain has always remained secluded from the world, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it, so the opportunity to enter the Central Domain is extremely rare. If you are interested, Wan Ning, you can give it a try."

Although I don't know how good my junior nephew's alchemy skills are, it wouldn't hurt to participate in the competition.

At the very least, it lets everyone know that she can refine pills, which will make her more valued in the sect in the future.

Qin Ming thought about it a lot. A genius like his junior apprentice should not be buried.

"However, before you can participate in the competition, you need to participate in the sect's selection competition. If you want to go, your senior uncle will register you."

Qin Ming spoke at length, and Song Wanning gained a general understanding of the Alchemy Competition.

But her focus is not on the central domain.

Will the Medicine King Sect participate in the Alchemy Competition?

Mu Zixu held grudges, but did Song Wanning not hold grudges either?

Moreover, the Medicine King Sect had tried to destroy him back then.

"The Medicine King Sect? Of course we'll participate!"

Qin Ming was unaware of Song Wanning's feud with the Medicine King Sect, and explained, "The Medicine King Sect occupied the top two spots in the last competition!"

After all, they are a sect specializing in alchemy, so it's normal that other sects can't compare!
