The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 855: The Preliminary Selection

After a brief moment of vertigo, Su Jingzhen and his group arrived at a massive teleportation square.

The spiritual energy here was far denser than that of Xuan Yu Sect, signaling that they had arrived at one of the premier forces in Shenhua Prefecture – Lingfeng Pavilion.

The large teleportation place was crowded with people, similar to the Heavenly Dragon Race.

It was a major gathering place for the influential forces in the region, and teams from other parts of Shenhua Province were arriving in droves.

In contrast, the Xuan Yu Sect group, who had recently weathered a storm, appeared relatively simple, numbering only seven people, including Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao.

Before Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao revealed their auras, no one paid much attention to them.

Wang Yingying, who was holding a Dan Tablet, a representation of a faction’s participation, was leading the group.

The Dan Tablet represented not just an individual, but an entire force, which meant that Wang Yingying could bring as many people as needed.

The goal was simple: to pass the preliminary round, advance through the subsequent rounds, and reach the Divine Dan Realm.

Lingfeng Pavilion, entrusted by the Divine Dan Sect, took this event very seriously.

When they stepped out of the teleportation square, a disciple from Lingfeng Pavilion immediately led them to the competition site.

The venue was a huge square, the largest in Lingfeng Pavilion, where thousands of alchemy platforms had already been set up.

The alchemy furnaces, though of low quality, were in place.

Despite the simplicity, everyone started from the same level, which made the competition fair.

Each region had its own Divine Dan Sect overseers to ensure fairness during these preliminary events.

When Su Jingzhen and the others arrived, they were quickly registered and assigned to their respective platforms, all of which was handled with surprising efficiency.

Out of the seven members in their group, only Su Jingzhen, Wang Yingying, and two other third-level alchemists from the Xuan Yu Sect participated.

Qiu Yaoyao and the other two members were just there to watch.

Qiu Yaoyao was not worried about the selection.

Even though she wasn’t an alchemist herself, she knew that anyone with a Dan heart could easily pass the preliminary selection.

Above the central square, the leaders of Lingfeng Pavilion and a senior disciple from the Divine Dan Sect, Elder Lin, watched the participants.

“I’ve heard that there are some promising candidates from Shenhua Province this time. Let’s see if any of them can make it to the Divine Dan Realm,”

Elder Lin, a white-haired elder, said with a smile, watching the competitors below.

The leader of Lingfeng Pavilion smiled and replied, “This generation of young people from Shenhua Province is indeed impressive.

I’ve heard that two or three of them are on the verge of comprehending their Dan Hearts. Maybe you’ll have a good harvest this time, Elder Lin.”

He was well aware that if any alchemists emerged as true talents in this event and performed well, they would be rewarded by the Divine Dan Sect.

After all, it would reflect well on the sect if their region produced such promising individuals.

Curious, the leader asked, “But why the urgency to hold the alchemy competition now?

Could it be related to the awakening of the Yunmeng Goddess from the Divine Realm of Four Waters a month ago?”

Elder Lin chuckled and shook his head. “It’s better not to ask too much about it. We’ll do what we’re told by our superiors,” he said, implying that it was best not to delve into the affairs of the higher sects.

The leader of the Lingfeng Pavilion nodded in agreement, sensing that this was not a subject that needed to be explored further.

At noon, it was time for the preliminary rounds to officially begin.

After some formalities, the disciples of Lingfeng Pavilion began to distribute Dan formulas and materials to each of the participants.

The challenge was straightforward: each alchemist was to refine a third-grade pill, using the materials and formulas provided by the Divine Dan Sect.

With the same conditions and equipment for everyone, those who could produce pills of the required quality would qualify for the next round.

This ensured a fair competition.

This was one of the benefits that the Divine Dan Sect provided to all participants.

Even those who didn’t make it past the preliminary selection would still receive a Third Grade Dan Formula as a reward.

For alchemists with lower qualifications and skills, receiving a third-level Dan formula was invaluable.

After the leader of Lingfeng Pavilion finished his long-winded speech, the preliminary selection for the Shenhua Province Alchemy Competition officially began.

Su Jingzhen took a quick glance at the formula in his hand.

It was for a Fish Dragon Pill, a type of dan that increased the strength of the user.

Essentially, it was similar to the widely known Great Power Pill, designed to temporarily boost the practitioner’s energy.

However, the Fish Dragon Pill didn’t have the side effects associated with the Great Power Pill, making it a better option.

The formula only required eighteen different ingredients, and each participant was given three sets of ingredients, allowing for three attempts.

Su Jingzhen smiled slightly. Without hesitation, he raised the flame of the simple alchemy furnace in front of him and immediately entered his focused state.

Refining such a simple third-grade pill didn’t even require him to use his Dan Heart.

Despite not having refined pills for quite some time, he felt no sense of awkwardness.

He smoothly threw the ingredients into the furnace one by one, following the steps of the formula to extract the necessary elements.

Although he didn’t consciously display his Dan Heart, his fluidity and skill were still unparalleled by the other alchemists.

It didn’t take long before he caught the attention of Elder Lin and the other high-ranking figures watching from above.

“This young man seems promising,” Elder Lin remarked. “He must have a high level of skill. A third-level pill seems like an easy task for him.”

The leader of Lingfeng Pavilion and the others also turned their gaze to Su Jingzhen.

He still appeared as his usual composed, scholarly self, which didn’t raise any suspicion.

Under the concealment of his Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss world power, not even the Divine Dan Sect disciple could detect anything unusual despite his impressive cultivation.

However, Elder Lin and the others soon shifted their attention away from Su Jingzhen.

Many other talented young alchemists, such as Wang Yingying, were also showing off their skills, giving Elder Lin great satisfaction.

After about the time it would take for an incense stick to burn, Su Jingzhen gently tapped the alchemy furnace.

A perfectly round Fish Dragon Pill flew out of the furnace.

Even without deliberately using his Dan Heart, Su Jingzhen had refined the pill to an exceptional quality.

If he had activated his Dan Heart, it would have been a superior grade pill with ease.

However, such a display would have been too shocking, especially for a preliminary round. He didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention.
