Completed Upgrades and the Sect Grand Competition
[Next level adds new effects:]
The Dao of Alchemy Origin: The Alchemy Chamber contains fragments of the Principle of Dao of Alchemy, increasing the success rate of alchemy by 50% and the probability of producing top-grade pills by 30%. You can try to refine Dao pills.

Dao of Alchemy Dao Enlightenment: Practicing Dao of Alchemy in the Alchemy Chamber doubles the speed of comprehension and makes it easier to break through to Dao of Alchemy realms.
With the upgrade of the Alchemy Chamber complete, Li Yunjing was completely satisfied.
Before leaving, he glanced at Ding Qifeng one last time.
Ding Qifeng was still earnestly explaining the alchemy techniques and did not notice Li Yunjing's arrival.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing didn't want to disturb them, so he left directly.
After leaving the Alchemy Chamber, Li Yunjing went directly to the weapon-refining room.
Inside the workshop, the furnace fire burns eternally, and the clanging and hammering sounds are constant.
The level six weapon-refining room was quite large, but it was still lacking in refinement.
Fortunately, Gu Lin was there.
Gu Lin is now a top-tier third-tier weapon refiner, just one step away from becoming a fourth-tier weapon refiner.
Besides Gu Lin, many weapon refiners from the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion in the Chenwei Dao Realm also came to the Luozhen Sect.
Li Yunjing greeted everyone in the weapon-refining room, then took out the Nine Heavens Meteoric Iron Mother and the Artifact Soul Jade.
The hundred-pound meteorite iron mother, jet black and shiny, is incredibly heavy. It is the core essence of extraterrestrial meteorite iron. The ten Artifact Soul Jade are crystal clear and contain a faint aura of artifact crafting.
He silently chanted "upgrade," and the meteorite iron mother transformed into molten iron, flowing into the huge furnace in the center of the refining room.
The furnace instantly lit up with a dazzling Golden Light, and the temperature soared several times over, leaving a layer of golden patterns on the inner wall of the furnace.
The Artifact Soul Jade transformed into ten beams of azure light, which merged into various refining tools such as hammers, anvils, and pliers.
clang.
A clear, metallic clang resounded throughout the Artifact Peak.
Inside the furnace, golden flames rose up, the temperature frighteningly high.
A pile of ordinary iron ore next to it began to seep out impurities on its own, and the quality of the ore visibly improved, gradually acquiring the texture of refined iron.
One of the weapon refiners' eyes lit up. He reached out and picked up a forging hammer, finding it warm and smooth to the touch, as if it were connected to his own will. When he swung the hammer, it was several times smoother than before.
"What a fine hammer!" the weapon refiner couldn't help but exclaim.

[Next level adds new effects:]
Hundredfold Refining and Purification: The furnace can automatically remove impurities from materials, improving material quality by one level and significantly reducing forging time.
"The level seven weapon-refining room still needs upgrading," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
After leaving the weapon-refining room, Li Yunjing headed to the final location of this upgrade: the Hall of Rebirth.
The Hall of Rebirth is arguably the most important building in the Luozhen Sect.
Its efficacy in reviving disciples of the Luozhen Sect is absolutely unparalleled.
When the Luozhen Sect was in trouble before, many disciples died, and it was only through the Hall of Rebirth that these disciples were resurrected.
Upon arriving at the Hall of Rebirth, Li Yunjing took out the Yin Nether Jade and the Soul-Ferrying Lotus Platform Fragment.
The hundred-pound Yin Nether Jade is the color of black jade, but it is not cold; instead, it has a soft luster. The Soul-Ferrying Lotus Platform Fragment are white jade fragments engraved with lotus patterns.
Silently chanting "upgrade," the level of the Hall of Rebirth directly increased, and the two items disappeared instantly.
[Hall of Rebirth (lv5)]
[Current effect: Automatically generates Life Jade, monitors disciple's status, upgrades Life Jade from Purple Jade to Black Jade, and can protect disciples from Nascent Soul level Curse.]
After a disciple dies, their soul can be drawn to the Pool of Rebirth and remain there for ten days. The disciple can then enter the Pool of Rebirth and use the water to repair the damage to their soul (this requires Spirit Stone, but the Spirit Stone consumption is halved).
Spirit Stone can be used to reshape a disciple's physical body (the soul must be intact, and the Spirit Stone consumption is halved).
A remnant soul can reshape a physical body (10% probability).
When a disciple reconstructs their physical body, there is a +10% chance of retaining some of their cultivation level from their previous life.
[Next level adds new effects:]
Divine Soul Nourishment: The soul tablet is nourished by the power of the lotus platform, which can slowly repair any damage to the disciple's soul. It can also nourish the soul in daily life and enhance the strength of Divine Sense.
Yin Soul Deliverance: This ability can transform the slain evil spirits and Devil Creature souls into pure soul power, which can both replenish the sect's fortune and be used to cultivate ghost cultivators and Yin cultivators.
Yin Nether Shield Yin Nether Shield: Can be activated to defend against attacks of the divine soul and evil spirits, protecting the divine souls of all disciples of the sect.
Seeing that the Hall of Rebirth had also been upgraded, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.
With the upgrades to all seven buildings completed, the Luozhen Sect as a whole has become even stronger.
However, many buildings still require materials to be upgraded.
We can only continue searching for materials.
Stepping out of the Hall of Rebirth Hall of Rebirth, Li Yunjing stood at the entrance, his divine sense sweeping across the entire sect.
The entire Luozhen Sect seemed to have transformed into a completely different world.
The benefits brought by the building upgrade, coupled with the blessing of the Dao Realm's fortune, complemented each other, causing the foundation of the Luozhen Sect to increase several times in just one day.
"It's time to test the mettle of my disciples," Li Yunjing muttered to himself, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Early the next morning, in the Sect Grand Hall.
The elders gathered and lined up on both sides.
Li Yunjing sat on the sect leader's throne, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and slowly spoke, "Now that the sect is blessed by the fortune of the Dao Realm, coupled with the foundation accumulated in the past, the disciples' cultivation speed will surely advance by leaps and bounds."
The elders all nodded, their faces beaming with joy.
"However, the path of cultivation cannot be practiced in isolation." Li Yunjing changed the subject. "To test the disciples' abilities, select outstanding talents, and encourage all disciples to strive for excellence in their cultivation, I have decided to hold the first Luozhen Sect."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a cacophony of discussion.
"A sect competition? Great! It'll be a good opportunity to see how much progress the disciples have made these past few days!"
"Excellent! There have been too many disciples breaking through recently, and their quality varies greatly. This competition will be a good opportunity to filter them out."
"With rewards as an incentive, the disciples are even more motivated to cultivate!"
Mo Xuan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Sect Leader, you are wise! May I ask what the rules are for the competition? When will it be held?"
Li Yunjing had already made up his mind, and slowly said, "The time is set for half a month from now, and all disciples of the entire sect will participate."
"The groups are divided into three categories: the Mortal Realm Group, which includes disciples at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realm; the Spirit Realm Group, which includes Golden Core disciples; and the Dao Realm Group, which includes disciples at the Nascent Soul stage."
The competition adopts a knockout format: the preliminary rounds are group-based free-for-alls, the semi-finals are round-robin with points, and the finals are single-elimination.
The match is to be stopped when the opponent is at a disadvantage; no one may be killed. The match ends when someone concedes defeat. Those who disobey will be dealt with according to the rules of the sect.
The arguments were clear and the rules were well-defined, and the elders all nodded in agreement.
"As for the rewards..." Li Yunjing smiled slightly, "Since this is the first competition, the rewards will naturally be generous."
