“It looks like you won’t be able to get in, so stay outside and wait for me.” When Di Jiu and Kan Yiwei arrived at the protective formation outside the Dan River, the place had long been crowded with people.
The Dan River’s formation gate was already open, and several cultivators in charge of registration were sitting at the entrance of the formation; every Dan master who entered the competition would register at this gate and receive a ring.
Outside the Dan River, there was a huge and incomparable formation screen, on which were only the rules of the competition. The rules of the competition were written in great detail, the divine essence pills condensed by all participating dan masters had to be placed in the ring issued, and the cultivators were not allowed to bring their own rings into the Dan Qi River, except for one dan furnace.
Di Jiu was confused, wasn’t it a dan competition? Danbi is to refine pills, what does this condensation of divine essence pills mean?
“Di Jiu, why don’t you come over here quickly, what are you frothing about.” An Tu Nings, who was sitting on the participant’s clan seat, saw Di Jiu froze and drank in a very cold tone.
“Brother Kan, just wait for me here, I’ll go to the Dan Competition.” Di Jiu didn’t dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly threw a sentence to Kan Yi Wei and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the Dan River Formation Gate.
“Give me the entry card.” Seeing Di Jiu standing in front of him, the cultivator in charge of registration at the entrance spoke coldly.
Di Jiu hurriedly took out his entry card and carefully asked, “Excuse me, isn’t the Dan Competition an alchemy competition? Why is everyone sitting outside and we are entering the Dan River?”
In Di Jiu’s mind, since it was an alchemy competition, it was only natural for everyone to alchemise pills while the major clans and many cultivators watched. Now that these clan powerhouses were sitting outside the Dan River, and those cultivators who came from afar were also outside, and they, the dan masters, were instead entering the Dan River through the protective formation, what kind of competition was this called?
Who knows who is strong when they compete behind closed doors?
The cultivator in charge of registration grunted, “Since this is about refining pills, how can you refine pills without entering the Dan River?”
As he spoke, he had already thrown a ring to Di Jiu, “The pills you make in the Dan Qi River must be placed in this ring, if you hide anything, you die. The jade medal for participation is in the ring, it is not allowed to be taken out. Also, give me the ring in your hand, as for the dan furnace you take it out first.”
“I have to give you my ring?” Di Jiu looked at the registration cultivator in surprise and was even more dissatisfied.
The cultivator in charge of registration frowned, “All cultivators’ rings will be placed here, and only dan furnaces are allowed to be brought into the Dan River.”
He frowned because this rule was known to everyone. The truth was that all the cultivators who came here had empty rings and only one Dan furnace ready to compete. What did an empty ring have in his possession? This Di Jiu actually had an objection?
Only then did Di Jiu understand, he was really a bit speechless in his heart, that An Tu Ning was really not a competent leader. Luckily, there was nothing in his ring, just some low grade spiritual herbs and hundreds of top grade divine crystals. He took out the Great Zodiac Cauldron and then handed the ring to the other party.
Seeing Di Jiu hand over the ring, the cultivator in charge’s face eased down, “Take your potion furnace inside and wait for the competition to start.”
Di Jiu subconsciously glanced at An Tu Ning who was sitting in the distance, but An Tu Ning was so distracted by other things that she didn’t even pay attention to him, obviously, as long as he entered the Dan River, everything else had nothing to do with her, An Tu Ning.
Di Jiu shook his head speechlessly, and before walking into the formation door, he once again made a fool of himself and asked, “May I ask, when refining pills, does the divine spirit gra*s come out of your own or the competition party? Does the dan fire use its own, or is it originally there?”
What worried Di Jiu the most was the dan fire, he had top-grade dao fire, but it was useless. His dao fire level was still low, even the divine flame was still lacking a little bit, this kind of dao fire was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage when making pills here.
But after asking this Di Jiu regretted it, surely he wasn’t needed to give out divine spirit gra*s, if he was needed to give out divine spirit gra*s, why would he need to take the ring? He asked such a brain-dead question because he had the ninth world and subconsciously thought that all his things were still there.
The cultivator in charge of registration stared at Di Jiu with wide eyes for a while before saying, “You don’t even know about this?”
Di Jiu nodded, “I do not know.”
The cultivator in charge of registration wanted to sneer at Di Jiu, but when he thought that Di Jiu was here on behalf of the Diffraction Sect, he swallowed his sarcastic words and said in a cold voice, “You will know when you go in, since you have registered, you are not allowed to stand here.”
Di Jiu was helpless, he was an outer disciple, or one who had been caught in the act, how could he have the courage to shout at this cultivator in charge of registration? He had no choice but to rub his chin and walk into the formation door.
After Di Jiu went in, the other few cultivators in charge of registration finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This was the first time they had seen such a participating dan master as Di Jiu, who didn’t even know what he was here for.
Seemingly sensing that Di Jiu had walked into the formation door, An Tu Ning stood up.
“Haha …… Master An Gu, the competition has only just started, are you going to leave?” The old man with turtledove skin sitting not far from An Tu Neng saw An Tu Neng stand up and seemed to know what An Tu Neng was planning to do and spoke out in ridicule.
An Tu Nings stared coldly at this old man with turtledove skin, “Wan He, don’t think that just because you are the Vice City Lord of Yongting Sacred Dao City, you dare to be arrogant in front of me, although I don’t have any alchemists in the Diffractive Dao Sect, there are quite a lot of mixed Yuan powerhouses.”
The old man with the hatched skin grunted and ignored An Tu Nings again.
An Tu Nings did not hesitate to leave the viewing platform of the participating clans and quickly moved away. It was clear that she had no intention of remaining here at all.
Her only purpose for coming here was to keep an eye on Di Jiu entering the Dan River competition, everything else had nothing to do with her, An Tu Ning. As for Di Jiu still being able to obtain a ranking, hehe, she didn’t even think about it.
……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
There is no need to cultivate here, just by standing here, is the heart and soul, that kind of Dan Qi penetrate the body, is completely an ultimate enjoyment. If he cultivated here …… Di Jiu didn’t even dare to think about it, he was sure that if he cultivated here, wouldn’t the progress speed be more than just fast?
In the sky above this dense Dan Qi, five big words were suspended, Da Geng Dan Qi River.
Such a good place to participate in the Dan Competition? If this Dan Qi River was occupied by someone and became a private place, it would simply be the ultimate enjoyment.
Di Jiu withdrew his mind and he found that there were two thousand Dan masters coming here to compete. What puzzled Di Jiu was that these Dan masters did not seem to be as excited and thrilled as he was, instead they all had sullen faces and closed their eyes not knowing what they were thinking about.
After waiting for a full incense stick, Di Jiu sensed the formation door behind him slowly closing, and then he heard a cold and stern voice, “All participating dan masters enter the Dan River to condense the Divine Origin Dan, the time is one month.”
With this voice, Di Jiu saw the two thousand Dan masters rushing into the Dan River, only Di Jiu stood dumbfounded by the river, he was still puzzled in his heart, what did this mean?
“Why don’t you quickly enter the Dan River?” That cold and stern voice interrupted Di Jiu’s puzzlement, he was very confused as to what Di Jiu was still dumbfounded about when the competition started.
One should know that in this kind of Dan competition, even a breath of time could end up being the key to victory or defeat.
Di Jiu hurriedly entered the Dan River, the more dense Dan Qi carried over, Di Jiu was not in the mood to cultivate, his divine thoughts hurriedly penetrated to where the rest of the Dan masters were, he wanted to see what these participating Dan masters were doing.
Di Jiu soon understood what these dan masters were doing, all of them took out their dan furnaces and were refining divine essence pills in the river of dan qi.
Rather than refining the Divine Origin Dan, it was more like condensing the Divine Origin Dan. There was a faint swirl of Dan Qi over each furnace, and these dan masters absorbed the Dan Qi into the furnaces, and then transformed this absorbed Dan Qi into Divine Origin Pills through their own divine essence and dan techniques.
After each divine essence dan came out, these dan masters quickly sent the divine essence dan into their rings, and then continued to condense the second divine essence dan. Some cultivators who were too slow to do so even offered flames to help.
Di Jiu sucked in a breath of cold air, he finally understood why these Dan masters weren’t much happy about coming here. The divine essence pills were much better than the top grade divine crystals.
The divine Yuan Dan was considered the essence of heaven and earth’s divine energy, without any Dan poison, and it was incredibly fast to cultivate, and it was most suitable for sensing various divine abilities and hitting bottlenecks. Not only that, this kind of Divine Essence Pill, which is condensed from natural Dan Qi, can also eliminate Dan Poison.
If one takes too many artificially refined pills, one can cultivate with the help of a divine Yuan Dan and remove the Dan poison.
But condensing a divine essence pellet is not a human task. Condensing a divine essence pellet requires not only a dan master, but also a dan master with a thick divine essence. These Dan masters will unknowingly consume their own essence and blood when they condense the divine essence pills with the help of a Dan furnace.
If all these divine essence pills were their own, it would be fine, but the key is that all these divine essence pills are sent into the ring, which is issued, and the pills inside must have nothing to do with the dan master who condenses the divine essence pills. That means that after these Divine Origin Pills were refined, they were all to be handed in.
No wonder those dan masters of the Diffraction Sect were reluctant to come, and only he was caught as an officer.
