Chapter 83 Opening Ceremony

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

In the mortal world, it is already deep winter, and ordinary people are busy preparing for the New Year's Eve.

But the Lingshou Mountain is still warm as spring.

In the Alchemy Court, Cao Rui's exclusive alchemy room.

Cao Rui opened the alchemy furnace.

A burst of medicinal fragrance came out of the alchemy furnace.

A furnace of Huiyuan Dan was spinning in the alchemy furnace.

"Huiyuan Dan is also successfully completed." Cao Rui threw Huiyuan Dan into the storage bag.

In the past six months, Cao Rui has made great progress.

All five spells have been introduced.

A lot of new recipes such as Detoxification Pill and Huiyuan Pill have also been mastered.

With the help of Cao Rui's secret deduction of Huanglong Pill, the experience value of Mingyu Gong Experience Pearl has also accumulated to 20%, which is faster than expected.

"Today is New Year's Eve in the secular season, right?"

"After today, it will be my fifth year in the Spirit Beast Sect, and I will be twenty-five."

"Five years have passed. I wonder what is happening in Luoshui, Xiaoguo now?"

Cao Rui put away his thoughts.

"Today is the day of the sect's inner sect competition."

"As the head of the Alchemy Institute, I need to attend the opening ceremony."

The notice was sent to Cao Rui a few days ago.

The Spirit Beast Sect holds an inner sect competition every ten years.

This is the channel for the sect to select true disciples.

The winner of the inner sect competition will definitely become a true disciple.

In addition, after performing outstandingly in the inner sect competition, he will be accepted as a personal disciple by the foundation-building elder and can also become a true disciple.

In addition, today the four major academies: the Spirit Beast Institute, the Alchemy Institute, the Refining Institute, and the Talisman Institute will also recruit new people at the same time.

Confident inner sect disciples can all participate in the professional assessments arranged by the four academies.

Cao Rui gave the assessment task to Zhang Chenyi and Bai Mengli.

The difficulty of joining the Alchemy Academy is not much different from becoming a true disciple.

Alchemy talent is even more elusive than spiritual root talent and spell talent.

It was around five in the morning.

The sect notified Cao Rui that he needed to arrive at the scene at six o'clock.

"It's almost time to set off."

Cao Rui got up and tidied up his alchemy room a little, then pushed the door open and walked out.

The inner sect competition was held in the big square on the main peak.

Cao Rui could walk there.

Cao Rui walked all the way to the front hall of the Alchemy Academy.

Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi were leading the disciples of the Alchemy Academy to set up the assessment venue of the Alchemy Academy.

"First seat!"

Bai Mengli trotted to Cao Rui.

"Well, has the assessment content been set up?" Cao Rui asked.

Bai Mengli nodded: "Well, it has been set up. It is not much different from the last time. It is divided into three levels."

Bai Mengli simply told Cao Rui about it.

The first level is to identify the name, type, and medicinal properties of spiritual medicines, a total of twenty kinds of spiritual medicines.

The second level is to configure the spiritual medicine formula based on the spiritual medicine in front of you.

The third level is to refine the formula you have combined.

Of course, the Alchemy Institute prepares simple 0-level elixirs, such as the common elixirs such as the Bigu Pill, the Blood Recovery Pill, and the Detoxification Pill.

Finally, the scores of the examinees are counted and the best are admitted.

"I will present the specific list and performance to you, the first seat, for your decision." Bai Mengli said.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you and Zhang Chenyi for your hard work."

"I have to attend the opening ceremony of the inner sect competition, and I will leave it to you and Zhang Chenyi here."

Bai Mengli nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, first seat!"

Cao Rui used the Light Feather Technique and turned into a phantom and left.

Go down the steps and pass the hexagonal building.

Cao Rui came to the main peak square.

At this time, the venue has been arranged.

Ten large competition arenas stand on the square.

Surrounding them are a large number of inner disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect and outer disciples who came to watch the excitement.

The top position on the platform is where the sect leaders sit.

There is still some distance to the opening ceremony, but some people have already taken their seats.

Cao Rui used the Light Feather Technique and arrived on the platform in a few flashes.

After sweeping his spiritual sense, Cao Rui walked to the position with his name written on it and sat down.

On both sides of Cao Rui's left, two people were already seated.

These two people are the head of the Refining Institute, Wu Qingxuan, who looks like a strong old man.

The head of the Talisman Institute, Fang Yi, should have taken a spiritual pill such as the Rejuvenating Pill, and looks about the same age as Cao Rui.

Although the skills of these two institutes are not impressive, the two heads are both foundation-building cultivators.

"Head Cao, I have heard of your great name for a long time." Wu Qingxuan and Fang Yi did not put on airs, and they were very polite to Cao Rui as equals.

In fact, these two are the 100th generation disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect. In terms of seniority, Cao Rui has to call them uncles.

However, the two of them called Cao Rui by his title, which obviously meant that they wanted to get closer.

Cao Rui also called himself the headmaster and started chatting with the two heads whom he met for the first time.

Soon, two people came to Cao Rui's right.

They were the headmaster of the Spirit Beast Court, Feng Qiwu, a cold and beautiful young woman who looked about thirty years old.

In fact, she was a 100th generation disciple of the Spirit Beast Peak like Wu Qingxuan and Fang Yi.

Feng Qiwu had a pair of sword-like eyebrows and indifferent eyes. After sitting down, she nodded slightly to Cao Rui.

To the right of Feng Qiwu sat the headmaster of the Law Enforcement Court, which was different from the four courts.

The headmaster of the Law Enforcement Court, Xu Ye, was covered in a purple robe and wore a black mask without an opening on his face, so his face could not be seen.

But Cao Rui was quite sensitive to the faint murderous aura that emanated from his body, despite his best efforts to conceal it.

Xu Ye seemed unwelcome, and did not greet him after he sat down.

Feng Qiwu obviously did not like the head of the Law Enforcement Court, and subconsciously moved towards Cao Rui.

The heads of the five courts sat together, and four elders, including Elder Su Zimo and the head of the Internal Affairs Hall Xu Qingzhi, also came one after another.

Including Sect Master Lu Jiuxiao, there are a total of nine Foundation Establishment Stages in the Spirit Beast Sect.

Cao Rui, who is at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, sitting on the high platform was a bit abrupt.

However, the Foundation Establishment Stages of the sect had seen Cao Rui's performance in the past six months when he took over the Alchemy Court.

Naturally, they would not think that Cao Rui was not qualified.

Sect Master Lu Jiuxiao arrived at the right time.

His brief speech excited the disciples of the sect below the stage.

Lu Jiuxiao left after a brief appearance.

After the opening ceremony, an elder in the foundation building stage named Ye Yunyin was responsible for presiding over the inner sect competition.

The ten true disciples of the sect were responsible for acting as referees for the ten arenas.

Cao Rui and several other high-ranking members of the sect could also start to leave the scene. Xu Ye, the head of the Law Enforcement Court, was the first to leave.

Cao Rui watched a few competitions for a while.

Those who participated in the inner sect competition were all inner sect disciples, at least at the middle stage of Qi Refining.

At this stage, Qi Refining cultivators can already master 0-level spells.

Therefore, most of the competitions on the arena were 0-level spells.

And these inner sect disciples did not have experience beads like Cao Rui. Most of them only mastered one 0-level spell to the entry stage, and only a few had achieved a small success.

There were even cases of spell casting failures on the arena.

However, there were indeed people with extraordinary talents.

An inner sect disciple named Feng Qingyun, who seemed to have a fire attribute spiritual root plus a rare wind attribute spiritual root.

He used wind magic to transform his body shape, and the ordinary 0-level fireball spell showed great power in his hands, almost defeating his opponents in seconds.

Feng Qiwu, who was beside Cao Rui, paid close attention to Feng Qingyun's performance. In addition, the two of them had the rare surname Feng, so Cao Rui guessed that they were relatives.

Later, Cao Rui also learned that Feng Qingyun was Feng Qiwu's nephew.

"There are still assessments to be conducted at the Alchemy Academy, so I will leave first."

After watching a few competitions, Cao Rui also said goodbye.
