In the morning, Qin Ran stood on the beach, watching the waves under his feet crashing into the reefs recklessly, crashing himself into small white water droplets, and then falling back into the sea. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He looked at it, and felt like a cultivator challenging the long river of fate, but ultimately failed and fell into the long river of fate. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

This made him feel tragic. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Are you going to Hailang Sect to compete?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

A voice suddenly came from behind. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran turned around and saw the saint with a very good figure walking towards him. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Yes, we will set off soon. I'm waiting for Shopkeeper Pang." He replied, "You know it too?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Today's saint seemed a little different. There was no deep affection and smile in her eyes that always made people addicted, but a little depressed, making her look very depressed. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

She walked to Qin Ran's side, looked at the waves coming and going, and asked again: "How long will it take?" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran looked at her profile from the side, and saw that she was still covered with black gauze, and could not see her appearance clearly, but only her curved eyebrows and peach blossom eyes with upturned corners. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"At least one month, at most two months." He replied. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Two months?" The saint sighed, "That's fine." \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"What's wrong? You don't look very happy." Qin Ran asked, "Is it the problem of this competition, or did you encounter any problems?" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The saint looked at the sea, was silent for a long time, and replied: "I'm here to say goodbye to you." \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran felt that there was something wrong with this statement. But firstly, he was about to leave Devil Island for Hailang Sect, so he could say goodbye; secondly, the girl in front of him was the Saint of the "Yuan" organization, a demonic organization, and he didn't dare to think too much about her words. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

So he just replied: "Don't be so serious, I'm just going to the competition and will be back soon. It's not a life-and-death separation." \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Hmm..." Perhaps Qin Ran's comforting words worked, the Saint smiled again, her eyes curved, tilted her head to look at Qin Ran, and smiled seriously, "Take care of yourself." \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

There was no charm and affection in these eyes, just as pure as autumn water, like the eyes of a young girl. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But when looking into these eyes, Qin Ran saw the clarity in them, the pure eyes, the clean smile, and his heart, which was built by Shenhua Xianning, hit his chest hard. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

There was no love in the amorous eyes, but these eyes of feeling...\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

His Adam's apple swallowed unconsciously, and he hurriedly avoided those particularly beautiful eyes, looked at the sea, and replied: "Well, you should take care of yourself too."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Hehe..." The saint laughed. She looked at Qin Ran's flustered eyes from the side, reached her ear, lifted the veil, and asked Qin Ran, "I have known you for so many years, and I have eaten so many meals with you... Do you want to know what I look like?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

In five years, Qin Ran had met the saint countless times, but he had never seen what the saint looked like. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

It would be a lie to say that he was not curious. After all, he knew that the saint must be very beautiful, so he turned around again, looked at the saint, and replied: "It would be nice to meet her."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But for some reason, he suddenly felt that the distance between them was very close, too close. It was so close that he felt great pressure. He did not see the Saint unveil her veil, but only saw her clear eyes. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

His throat swallowed unconsciously again. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Hahaha..." The Saint suddenly laughed, turned around, took two steps, and distanced herself, "I'm just kidding you! You're so stupid!" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Seeing the Saint take two steps away, Qin Ran realized that the reason why he felt the distance was too close just now was because the Saint quietly closed the distance. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

His heart was pounding, and he opened his mouth, wanting to ask something. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But at this time, another voice came from behind: "Mr. Li, are you ready?" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He turned around and saw Pang Xuan's round figure walking over. Behind Pang Xuan, there were dozens of people from the "Yuan" organization. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Ready." He replied. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Pang Xuan smiled, walked over here, saw the Saint, and said respectfully, "So the Saint is here too? Are you here to see Mr. Li off?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The Saint turned back to her charming and affectionate look. She looked at Pang Xuan and smiled, "Yes! I hope Mr. Li gets first place! Complete the organization's mission."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"That's inevitable!" Pang Xuan replied. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The Saint's eyes were lively, and she glanced at Qin Ran, but she didn't say anything else and left. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Looking at the disappearing figure of the Saint, Pang Xuan asked Qin Ran with a smile: "What did the Saint say to you?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran shook his head and said: "I am not familiar with the Saint. We just met by chance and chatted for a while."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He asked Pang Xuan in return, "How did she know that I was going to the competition?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"She is the Saint, of course she knows." Pang Xuan looked at Qin Ran and did not continue to ask. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go to Hailang Sect now!"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran looked and asked: "How to go, fly?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Pang Xuan laughed and touched his storage belt. A model of a ship appeared in his hand. He threw the boat forward. The boat was blown up by the wind. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large ship docked on the sea.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Of course, we took a boat!" Pang Xuan patted Qin Ran's shoulder and flew onto the boat first. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The speed of the ship was not slow, comparable to the flying speed of an ordinary second-grade cultivator, but it still took three days to reach Hailang Sect. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

As expected, Hailang Sect is also an island. It is an island larger than Devil Island and Longjing Island. It is considered an important island in Tianlan Sea. It is named after Hailang Sect and is called Hailang Island. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

If Longjing Island is a lord mode and Devil Island is a pirate mode, then Hailang Island is a sect mode. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The entire island is dominated by Hailang Sect, and other cities exist around Hailang Sect. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

As alchemy sects, Hailang Sect's area is much larger than Zhisheng Valley's area in terms of area. However, due to the different geographical conditions of Tianhai Region and Lingnan Region, it is not certain which of the two sects is stronger. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Due to the alchemy competition, Hailang Island is quite lively during this period. Inside and outside the sect, there are people everywhere, making alchemy, buying alchemy, selling alchemy, or for other purposes. As for the city, people from the outer islands and the people from the main island are crowded together, which can be described as rubbing shoulders with each other. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

This may be the main reason why Hailang Island holds the alchemy exchange conference. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Although Qin Ran and his team arrived not too late, there were too many people on the island, and there were too many of them, so naturally they couldn't find the location of the inn. But fortunately, the "Yuan" organization also has a branch on the island, and they finally stayed in the Yuanlai Teahouse. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

On this day, in the private room on the third floor of the teahouse, Pang Xuan and Qin Ran were drinking tea while discussing the competition. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Pang Xuan said to Qin Ran: "There are six opponents you need to pay attention to. The alchemists on the three large islands are fifth-grade alchemists..."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He introduced them in detail to Qin Ran and showed him the information he had collected. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He continued: "Two of the other three opponents are from Hailang Sect. One is called Dongfang Yu, a genius alchemist cultivated by Hailang Sect in recent years. She is quite famous and gifted. Although she is only a fourth-grade alchemist, every time she refines a pill, it must be of top-grade quality. She must have practiced a special technique.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"The other alchemist in Hailang Sect is called Dong Guanhai, who is a veteran alchemist of Hailang Sect and a sixth-grade alchemist. Hailang Sect specially arranged him to prevent the first place from being taken away by outsiders and losing face. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"As for the last opponent, he is from within the organization." \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"An?" Qin Ran was reading the information and was caught off guard when he heard this. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Someone from within the organization?" he asked, making sure he heard correctly. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"He is indeed an alchemist in the organization, but the Hailang Island branch." Pang Xuan explained, "Although they are all members of the organization, but..."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Oh..." Qin Ran understood, "I understand."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"His name is Bai Tu, also a sixth-grade alchemist. He has joined the organization for many years and has extremely rich experience in alchemy. He is the chief of the Hailang Island branch."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Pang Xuan said, "He is the organization's strongest alchemist in the Tianlan Sea. In this alchemy competition, if nothing unexpected happens, the first place will be between Dong Guanhai and Bai Tu."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He stared at Qin Ran who was looking at the information, and suddenly became uncertain, and asked, "Sixth-grade alchemist, can you... win the first place? ? ! "\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran took the information, but his eyes moved from the information to Pang Xuan's face. He did not answer, but asked: "I don't know why you value this first place so much, but I remember you said that winning the first place will give me a great merit. Is it true?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Pang Xuan was stunned and nodded: "Of course it is true."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran asked again: "Is there a teleportation formation on Devil Island?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Yes."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"I mean..." Qin Ran paused, "Super long-distance teleportation formation, teleportation formation between domains."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Pang Xuan opened his mouth and asked: "What are you going to do?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"I want to leave Tianhai Territory and go to other territories." Qin Ran asked, "Can this great achievement be achieved?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Of course, you can be transferred to other branches at the same level. But..." Pang Xuan said, "Devil Island does not have a cross-territory teleportation array."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"No?" Qin Ran raised his eyebrows. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"There is one in the Seven Islands!" Pang Xuan said hurriedly, "As long as you win the first place, I will send you to the Seven Islands. I will personally send you to other territories."\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"A gentleman's word is as good as a whip!" Qin Ran stared at Pang Xuan and said, "I will help you win the first place, and you will help me go to Lingnan Territory!"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Lingnan Territory?"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Lingnan Territory!"\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The full name of this alchemy competition held by Hailang Sect is the Alchemy Exchange Competition, and the focus is on exchange, not competition. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The economic and cultural development brought about by the alchemy competition is far greater than the competition itself. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

So the first 26 days of the one-month alchemy exchange competition were all exchanges. The alchemists exchanged skills, bought and sold elixirs and medicinal materials in Hailang Sect. The last four days were the competition. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

With the support of the "Yuan" organization, Qin Ran also made a lot of benefits during this period. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Happy time is always short, and the competition day came in a blink of an eye. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The competition venue is in the center of Hailang Island. There is a large square built there. It is a place specially used for competitions and has a history of thousands of years. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

There are more than a thousand contestants. Everyone has a large alchemy furnace in front of them, so they don’t feel crowded in the square. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The first day of the competition is to identify various spiritual medicines and herbs. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Hailang Sect gave each contestant a bag of messy medicinal materials and asked them to sort out the medicinal materials in it into categories. And write clearly how this medicinal material is prepared, what effects it has, and what kind of pills it can be made into. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

This is exactly what Qin Ran is good at. Moreover, he reviewed for five years in advance. So he sorted out the medicines one by one without any mistakes and got the first-class evaluation. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

As an alchemist, identifying medicines is a basic skill, and many alchemists got the first-class evaluation. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But to Qin Ran’s surprise, a female alchemist named Dongfang Yu got the second-class evaluation. I wonder if she is the genius alchemist of Hailang Sect. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

If so, it will be fun. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The competition on the second day is to test the alchemist’s control over the alchemy water and alchemy fire. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

It is called alchemy water and alchemy fire, but in fact, most of them are alchemy water. After all, this is Tianhai District, and fire alchemy is not popular here. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

And how to test the control over the alchemy water? \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Let the alchemists refine the medicinal power and that's it. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

See how many kinds of medicinal materials they can refine at one time, and to what extent they can refine the medicinal materials. Test these two dimensions. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran's entire body is made up of elixir water, and he has also specially trained his ability to refine medicinal materials. Probably no one has a stronger control over elixir water than him. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

He got another A grade. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Controlling elixir water is still the basic skill of alchemists, so there are still many who get A grades. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But...\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

There are not many who get A grades in both basic skills, and there are not even a hundred who get A grades in both basic skills. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The third day's competition is to refine a finished elixir. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The elixir recipe is issued by Hailang Sect, which is equivalent to a propositional composition. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The recipe is called Youquan Pill, a fourth-grade pill. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

It is not difficult for Qin Ran to refine a fourth-grade pill, but since it is a new pill, he spent a lot of time reading the recipe before he started to refine the pill. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

By the time he finished refining the pill, the others had already finished refining it. So this batch of top-grade fourth-grade pills was produced in full view of everyone. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

Qin Ran got another A-grade. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

“Top-grade!” someone exclaimed. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But then someone discovered a more serious problem: “Three A-grades!!!” \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

In the three-day competition, there were alchemists who got A-grades every day, but there were only three who got A-grades every day for three days. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The other two were both veteran alchemists, both sixth-grade alchemists, and everyone knew them more or less. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The only person they met was Qin Ran, the young alchemist, whom they met for the first time. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Who is he?" someone asked. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

But no one answered. Qin Ran seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and no one knew him. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"The water from heaven and earth he used is very unusual." Someone discovered a bright spot. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"It's of high quality." \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"It looks a bit like..." Someone recognized it, "Shenhua Xian Ning!" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"Shenhua Xian Ning?!!" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

The alchemists were in an uproar: "The descendant of the old demon Shenhua?!" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"He inherited the legacy of the old demon Shenhua?" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

"When!?" \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

No matter if they knew Qin Ran before, now, at this moment, everyone looked at the furnace of top-grade elixirs and remembered this descendant of the old demon Shenhua. \u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;

\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;
