Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 25: Iron Dumb-Dumb~

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator clearly noticed the presence of 'Dumb-Dumb'. After all, a powerful cultivator at this level, let alone a million people, could grasp every detail with a sweep of their divine sense and have a clear understanding.

At this moment, he looked at 'Dumb-Dumb': "Why aren't you leaving?"

Dumb-Dumb scratched his head: "Huh? Senior, although I was a bit lucky, I did succeed."

"Look at this Condensing Essence Pill. It's small and round, although the third halo is a bit dim, it still has three halos. Maybe after ten days or half a month, it will be downgraded to Second Grade, but at this moment, it is indeed Third Grade."

"Please give me a chance..."

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator's mouth twitched: "..."

"Fine, I'll give you a chance."

With his status, he couldn't be bothered to argue with such a dumb person.

Besides, you have to admit, this dumb person didn't talk nonsense. This kind of unstable pill might drop in grade in a few days or even a few hours, but at least for now, it is Grade Three.

It can be considered as meeting the promotion requirements.

Xiao Ling'er looked and wanted to laugh.

Let you pretend, let you pretend so excessively, and now you're being noticed by others, right?

"But..."

"It seems like everyone is mocking him and looking down on him even more."

"Is he doing it on purpose?"

Xiao Ling'er glanced over and saw that everyone was indeed mocking him, not considering him as an opponent at all.

"If that's the case, then he's really terrifying!"

She asked herself, if it were her, she really wasn't confident that she could refine this Condensing Essence Pill with a grade of 2.5 Fifth Grade!

Second Grade, Third Grade, and even Fifth or Sixth Grade, she was confident, but this 2.5 Fifth Grade was really difficult. Or rather, who would bother striving for this grade?

Is he crazy?

Completely inexperienced!

"Perhaps, only this guy would..."

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ling'er knew why she felt so familiar.

At this moment, she couldn't help but take a deep look at that dumb person.

...

"The second round, Profound Essence Pill."

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator spoke indifferently: "Take the time of an incense stick to adjust, and at the same time, our people will prepare the corresponding medicinal materials for you."

"The requirements are the same, one hour, Grade Three or above."

Boom.

The audience in the stands immediately became noisy.

"It's actually the Profound Essence Pill. Going from Rank Two to Rank Three, the difficulty has increased dramatically. I'm afraid 90% of them will be eliminated!"

"It's fortunate that it's the Profound Essence Pill, the most commonly used Rank Three pill, no doubt about it. Otherwise, 99% would be eliminated!"

The Condensing Essence Pill is a Rank Two pill that can be taken by cultivators in the first and second realms to assist in cultivation. The Profound Essence Pill, on the other hand, is a Rank Three pill that can be used by cultivators in the third Profound Essence realm to assist in cultivation.

Above that, there are Grotto-Heaven Pills, Finger Mystic Pills, and so on.

And these kinds of pills for assisting cultivation have always been the most common, most frequently used, and most frequently refined pills.

"Profound Essence Pill?"

Xiao Ling'er entered the second round, and Duan Qingyao was not surprised, but she didn't understand why Xiao Ling'er chose to hide her abilities.

"Could it be..."

"Is she confident in her ranking?!"

Duan Qingyao was startled by her own thoughts.

But if not, Xiao Ling'er had no reason to hide her abilities, right?

...

The time of an incense stick quickly passed.

Similarly, the prescription for this round was different from what Xiao Ling'er was familiar with, but with the experience from the previous round, she was also familiar with the process.

Relying on her own eyesight to learn secretly, and then refining pills.

But this time, she clearly felt the pressure.

Although she was still hiding her clumsiness, she could only reveal a part of her true skills in order to qualify.

As a result, she naturally "barely advanced".

What shocked Xiao Ling'er was that the foolish-looking guy actually produced several two-point fifth-grade pills again, and he still completed them within the last moment!

This discovery not only surprised Xiao Ling'er, but also surprised everyone else.

"That guy actually advanced again?"

"He really succeeded!"

"Isn't his luck too good?"

"Both times were like this, from a certain perspective, he can be considered extremely lucky."

However, compared to the advancing participants, the number of eliminated people was obviously much higher.

This time, it exceeded 95%!

Out of a million alchemists, in just two hours, there were less than five thousand left.

And most of them had a particularly serious expression...

They were almost at their limit.

There was also a part of them who had no confidence at all. To be able to advance, luck played a significant role.

But no matter how they were, the competition still had to continue.

"A stick of incense break." The Dao Integration Realm cultivator spoke again, with fewer words this time. "The third round, Rank Four Poison-Avoiding Pill, Third Grade, one hour."

"Choose your own medicinal ingredients."

Sure enough, it was a Rank Four pill!

Many alchemists turned pale. "It's actually a Rank Four Poison-Avoiding Pill?!"

If it was a Grotto-Heaven Pill, they could still rely on luck, but the Poison-Avoiding Pill was relatively obscure, and it was a Rank Four Poison-Avoiding Pill...

The Poison-Avoiding Pill was actually a category, and there were many pill formulas that could meet the requirement of "Rank Four Third Grade", without any other special requirements.

But compared to the Grotto-Heaven Pills used for cultivation, the Poison-Avoiding Pill was undoubtedly much more obscure.

Those well-known alchemists naturally had no problem, but they were all from the younger generation and didn't have that much time to study obscure pills, and they didn't even have the pill formulas.

Therefore, as soon as the question was announced, nearly a thousand alchemists smiled bitterly and gave up.

"A Rank Four Poison-Avoiding Pill."

Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath. "After this round, I'm afraid there will be less than a hundred people left."

For the younger generation of alchemists, the Rank Four pill was already very difficult, not to mention it being an obscure pill.

It was still manageable to require the pill to be formed, but adding a Third Grade restriction made it even more difficult.

She shook her head lightly.

"I'm afraid that after this round, I won't be able to hide my clumsiness anymore."

"Fortunately, by then, there should be no need to hide my clumsiness."

Originally, she thought this competition would take a long time, but she didn't expect it to end after just four or five rounds.

Xiao Ling'er immediately focused her mind and prepared for the third round of pill refining.

After a stick of incense, the remaining three thousand alchemists immediately started to busy themselves.

The Fourth Grade pill still had only one hour, which was still too much pressure for them.

Just at the beginning, many people made consecutive mistakes, causing them to be unable to continue and could only regretfully drop out.

The foolish-looking guy was still in a frenzy, even making small mistakes continuously, but he "had extremely good luck" and never dropped out.

Xiao Ling'er continued to hide her true strength, but she had to reveal about fifty percent of her true skills.

The expression of the man with the feathered crown also became serious for the first time...

The woman from the Fire Virtue Sect clenched her silver teeth. She was still lacking in control over the medicinal ingredients, but thanks to her excellent fire control technique, there were no problems.

Finally, another round ended.

Only twelve people advanced.

"The fourth round."

The Dao Integration Realm cultivator didn't give them any breathing time. "Ranking battle, each person has one chance, and the value of the pill they refine is equal to their ranking."

"After a stick of incense, it officially begins."
