No hope for eternal life

Chapter 323 Give it a try

"Success!" Mu Changsheng's face lit up with joy. With the experience of success, things would be easy. All he had to do next was to repeat the method.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng quickly finished drawing ten sets of Golden Dragon Talismans and obtained six finished products in total, with a success rate of 60%, which was extremely difficult for a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

After Mu Changsheng finished refining the Golden Dragon Talisman, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Qi Xian and found that the other party had also completed it.

This time, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to ask in a voice transmission: "Brother Qi, how many finished products are there?"

"Six, where is Brother Mu?" Qi Xian asked.

"Same."

In this case, it depends on whose talisman is of higher quality. However, with the example of the golden light talisman, Mu Changsheng doesn't have much confidence this time.

"I should have sent my original body here earlier." Mu Changsheng sighed inwardly. His original body cultivated the power of nine thousand dragon elephants, which had a great bonus on improving the quality of talismans. It was a pity that it was too late to say these now.

This competition lasted for three days before everyone completed the refining of the Golden Dragon Talisman. Ji Yanxi also immediately announced the number of finished Golden Dragon Talismans of each cultivator. Mu Changsheng and Qi Xian tied for first place with six talismans each, while the others had only four at most, a clear gap.

Next is the time to test the quality of the Golden Dragon Talisman. Just like the last round, this time the rankings are still based on the rankings, from the lowest to the highest.

The cultivator who appeared first was extremely embarrassed, because he only had one finished Golden Dragon Talisman, and the quality of that Golden Dragon Talisman was extremely poor. He only achieved a score of 1,252 feet, which was worse than the result of the previous round of Golden Light Talisman.

However, there was no booing or laughing at the scene, because not everyone could refine talismans across two levels, and many of the monks watching believed that they could not do it.

Afterwards, the results began to increase again, from one thousand two hundred feet, one thousand three hundred feet, and suddenly soared to more than one thousand six hundred feet. This is the normal power range of the Golden Dragon Talisman.

When it was Mu Changsheng's turn, the best result had reached 1,785 feet.

Mu Changsheng picked out the best quality golden dragon talisman in his hand and activated it instantly. A golden and ferocious golden dragon attacked the force-measuring monument fiercely.

"Bang!" The spiritual power beam rose up in response, breaking through one thousand six hundred feet, one thousand seven hundred feet, one thousand eight hundred feet at an extremely fast speed, and finally reached one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven feet.

"Good!" There was a lot of cheering around again.

Mu Changsheng did not dare to be proud. He turned around and looked at Qi Xian, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Brother Qi, it's your turn."

"Brother Mu, you are so kind to me." Brother Qi quickly clasped his fists in return, not daring to be arrogant.

Everyone present, including Ji Yanxi, was looking forward to seeing if Qi Xian could surpass Mu Changsheng again.

Mu Changsheng is a disciple of Lingshan Sect, while Qi Xian is a casual cultivator without any sect or school, with a similar background to most of the cultivators present. From this aspect, many people sincerely hope that Qi Xian can achieve more success and "defeat" Mu Changsheng.

Just like that, Qi Xian appeared on the stage under the attention of everyone, and he cast the Golden Dragon Talisman. The strength-measuring spiritual monument then glowed with light and gushed out.

One thousand six hundred feet, one thousand seven hundred feet, one thousand eight hundred feet... one thousand nine hundred feet!

Qi Xian's score directly broke through to one thousand nine hundred and two feet.

Seeing this scene, Mu Changsheng had to admit that there was indeed a substantial gap between him and Qi Xian.

But at the same time, Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone who was far away in the Tianshuang Realm had been practicing the Golden Dragon Talisman for several days. Since he could not compare with Qi Xian in terms of hard power, he could only work on experience.

Ever since he guessed that the next round might be about competing in the Golden Dragon Talisman, Mu Changsheng had already arranged for his white-clothed clone to go to Lingzang Peak to purchase materials and practice the Golden Dragon Talisman.

Qi Xian is a casual cultivator and most likely does not have any clones, so Mu Changsheng's method seems a bit unfair to Qi Xian, but the reward for first place is too important to Mu Changsheng and he must fight for it with all his strength.

Afterwards, Ji Yanxi announced the top ten list, and the final round of competition was about to begin.

As usual, Ji Yanxi distributed a talisman liquid to each of Mu Changsheng and the other ten people, and introduced: "This is the fifth-grade top-level Fire Spirit Talisman Liquid. This last round of competition is also a points system, but this time the points include three aspects of points, namely the number of finished talismans, the quality of the talismans, and the speed of refining talismans. The rules for the first two aspects are the same as the previous round. A finished product gets three points. The one with the highest quality gets ten points, the second place gets nine points, and the third place gets eight points, and so on. The speed of refining talismans is calculated from the number of successful refining of Fire Spirit Talismans. The shorter the time, the higher the points. The fastest one gets ten points, and the ranking is also reduced in sequence. Finally, the three points are added together, and the ranking is determined by the total points. If there happen to be the same points, the ranking is determined by the success rate."

"Not good!" Mu Changsheng frowned. He didn't expect that the Ji clan would not play by the rules. The last round of competition was not the Golden Dragon Talisman as he predicted, but the extremely unpopular Fire Spirit Talisman.

Then, Ji Yanxi did not give Mu Changsheng any time to react and directly announced: "Everyone, you can start now."

Although there was a speed requirement this time, it was only limited to the time of refining the talisman, so Mu Changsheng and the other ten people were not in a hurry to start. They were all thinking about how to better refine the Fire Spirit Talisman.

Slowly, the other nine people started to get started, but Mu Changsheng was the only one who was still in deep thought, trying to think of a way to win.

After a long time, Mu Changsheng finally decided to take action. No matter how much he thought about it, it would be better to just give it a try first.

"Take it slow." Mu Changsheng warned himself before he began. This time he had added a speed point specifically to test the character of the talisman master. If one only pursues speed when refining the talisman, it would be easy to make mistakes.

For a talisman master, the most important thing in refining talismans is the success rate, because once a failure occurs, the materials are wasted, and it will be useless to talk about quality or speed.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng began to refine the first Fire Spirit Talisman. This talisman was weaker than the Golden Dragon Talisman, so it was a little simpler. Perhaps the Ji clan also wanted to reduce the difficulty a little to avoid the embarrassing situation of failing in ten chances.

However, even though the Fire Spirit Talisman is slightly less difficult than the Golden Dragon Talisman, it is still much more difficult than the Golden Dragon Talisman.

Mu Changsheng's first attempt still ended in failure, and he didn't even reach the later stage. Fortunately, the backlash of the Fire Spirit Talisman was very slight and did not cause any harm to Mu Changsheng.

Having crossed three levels and never practiced the Fire Spirit Talisman, failure was inevitable.

Mu Changsheng was not discouraged. After adjusting his condition, he started his second attempt.

This time, Mu Changsheng successfully advanced to the end, but something went wrong in the final connection of spiritual power and ended in failure.

"Almost there." Mu Changsheng encouraged himself, recovered his strength, calmed himself down, and started his third attempt.

The third time, Mu Changsheng learned deeply from the previous two experiences, and completed it in one go, and finally succeeded.

Then, Mu Changsheng tried again and succeeded the fourth time, failed the fifth time, failed the sixth time, succeeded the seventh time, and failed the eighth time.

With only two chances left, Mu Changsheng suddenly stopped, recovered his divine power, and adjusted his state to the peak.

Mu Changsheng decided to take a gamble on the last two chances. If he succeeded, he would have a chance to win first place. If he lost, he would have almost no hope of winning first place, and might even fall out of the top three.

Mu Changsheng was seen putting two pieces of talisman paper together. He wanted to refine two Fire Spirit Talismans at once!
