Lan Hua's question was quickly answered. It turned out that Lan Hua and Zuo Yan were not the only ones who wanted to become members of the Pill God Palace. The people living in that row of houses all called themselves alchemists.

However, how many people want to join the Pill God Palace is none of Lan Hua's concern anymore.

This was somewhat beyond his previous expectations. He had originally thought that since no one from the Xuan Yu Dan Shen Palace had ascended to the Heavenly Domain for a long time, the Dan Shen realm in the Heavenly Domain should be depleted of talent, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

Alchemists from other realms still ascend to the mortal world, keeping the Pill God Palace powerful. Even without the Pill Emperor, the Pill God Palace remains the leading force in the Heavenly Domain.

After briefly meeting a few people, Lan Hua returned to her room to meditate.

Although she had taken the Blood Droplet given to her by Tan Mingyue, the energy contained in the Immortal Fruit had not yet been refined, and Lan Hua's cultivation had not recovered.

If not now, when? For three days in a row, Lan Hua stayed in her room.

He had refined most of the energy of the Blood Droplet, and the primordial spirit power in his lower dantian had been restored, but the primordial spirit in his middle dantian had not yet been reassembled and would still need some time.

On the morning of that day, Lan Hua and more than ten celestial beings who claimed to be alchemists arrived at an open space, where the Pill God Palace provided each of them with an alchemy furnace.

Three people were suspended in the air at this moment. The one in the middle said, "I am Xue Piaoyao, the chief examiner of the Dan Shen Palace."

"Each of you has an alchemy furnace in front of you, along with prepared medicinal herbs. Please follow the recipe to refine a batch of Rejuvenation Pills!"

"Only those Rejuvenation Pills of the highest grade will be kept. Let's begin!"

The two people beside them waved their right hands, and one pill prescription after another fell into the hands of Lan Hua and the others.

Just then, a commotion arose from the surrounding area, and several people were seen sitting on a rock watching the excitement.

"There are quite a few people taking the exam this time, but I don't know how many will actually make it in."

"No matter who comes in, they all have to call us senior brothers, Ning, don't you agree?"

The man called Ning Tou'er was dressed in a white robe, handsome and extraordinary, with a flute hanging at his waist. He was silent at the moment, staring at the people participating in the assessment.

When Lan Hua looked at the prescription, she found that most of the ingredients were unfamiliar, with only a few that she recognized.

Fortunately, the properties of each herb were written in the prescription, but the specific refining procedure was not given. Lan Hua knew that this was the key point of this assessment.

The alchemy procedure wasn't provided, which was tricky, but fortunately, Lan Hua was well-versed in the medicinal properties and mechanisms, knowing which ingredient should be added first and which should be added later.

"Hmph, that can't stop me, especially since I possess the best alchemical fire!"

Lan Hua administered the medicines one by one, and after preparing everything, she used the Dan Tian Technique to summon the Yin Yang Two Elements Fire.

When a Celestial-grade Elixir Flame is produced, even the aura of the flame itself is different.

"This is... alchemical fire?"

Xue Piaoyao, who was in mid-air, was immediately attracted by the aura of the Yin-Yang Fire. She squinted at the two people beside her and asked, "Do you know how that person summoned the Pill Fire?"

The two shook their heads in unison, "Reporting to Sage Xue, there were many alchemists present; we couldn't see them clearly!"

Xue Piaoyao snorted coldly, "Fine, let's see how good their pills are!"

Those watching were naturally good at reading between the lines, and one of them asked curiously, "Boss Ning, Instructor Xue just said that someone used real alchemical fire. Do you know who it was?"

The white-clad man, Ning Tou'er, stared at Lan Hua and said softly, "I know, this person has some background. Who could it be?"

Half a day passed, and everyone had finished refining pills. Xue Piaoyao led the two to check the Rejuvenation Pills in the pill furnace one by one.

"Fail!"

"What kind of junk is this?"

"Acceptable!"

"What a waste of my medicinal herbs!"

"......"

Xue Piaoyao came to Lan Hua's side and was greatly surprised when she saw the golden-yellow Rejuvenation Pill.

"A top-grade Rejuvenation Pill?"

Lan Hua nodded slightly. If she hadn't been refining pills less often lately, with the blessing of the immortal pill fire, she might have been able to refine a Rejuvenation Pill of superior quality.

Xue Piaoyao nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"Lanhua!"

Xue Piaoyao was taken aback, seemingly wanting to confirm who this person was. She then glanced at Lan Hua, seemingly showing interest in him.

"The Pill God Palace welcomes you!"

"Thank you!" Lan Hua replied calmly.

"May I take this Rejuvenating Pill?"

Xue Piaoyao was taken aback again, and then said, "Okay!"

Without any hesitation, Lan Hua took the eight Rejuvenation Pills from the furnace. These pills could heal injuries, and he didn't want to waste them.

Ning Tou'er was greatly surprised and muttered, "It's him! The one who survived the strongest Heavenly Tribulation and even got the Owl Sect to intervene during his tribulation!"

Lan Hua noticed a gaze coming from her, and turned her head to look, where she met Ning's eyes.

Ning smiled slightly and greeted Lan Hua.

Lan Hua nodded and smiled in response, but inwardly she was wondering why anyone would be interested in her.

Looking back at Zuo Yan, the latter had also refined a batch of Rejuvenation Pills, though only of superior grade, but he was already qualified to enter the Pill God Palace.

Joining the Heavenly Realm Pill God Palace simply means becoming a disciple of the Pill God Palace; another meaning is becoming a part of a major power in the Heavenly Realm. However, becoming a core disciple is not easy.

Four people passed the assessment, including Lan Hua and Zuo Yan. Many of the people who came from afar were dejected and complained.

"I didn't expect joining the Pill God Palace to be so difficult. Is it really necessary to pass the alchemy test? I am a warrior, can't I be a bodyguard?"

"Exactly! Even if he's not good at alchemy, he can still fight!"

The old alchemist sneered, "We're all celestial beings, do you think these alchemists won't fight?"

The crowd dispersed dejectedly. Just as Lan Hua was about to leave, the white-clad man who had been watching from the sidelines walked up to him.

"My name is Ning Songzhen. Welcome, Brother Lan, to the Pill God Palace!"

Lan Hua smiled slightly and said, "Thank you. May I ask where Brother Ning comes from in the lower realm, and when did you join the Pill God Palace?"

Ning Songzhen hesitated and didn't want to answer directly, but his follower said:

"Our leader Ning is the pride of the Ning family in the Heavenly Realm of Tranquility, not someone who has ascended from the lower realm!"

Lan Hua said "Oh," and asked in surprise, "Besides the Pill God Palace, there's actually a Ning family in this Heavenly Domain who also knows alchemy?"

Ning Songzhen said calmly, "That's not it. My Ning family uses fire as its totem. Although we don't know alchemy, we are proficient in fire techniques and have a talent for alchemy. That's why we were able to enter the Pill God Palace through special privileges!"

"I see, nice to meet you!"

Lan Hua did not stay there for long and returned to her residence.

Now that she had successfully joined the Pill God Palace, Lan Hua was a disciple of the Pill God Palace and naturally had a new place to live.

Lan Hua felt that Ning Songzhen, whom she had just met, was somewhat mysterious.

Although his cultivation level is at the peak of the Celestial Realm, this person is no more than forty years old, making him an absolute prodigy.

Over the next few days, Lan Hua continued to meditate in her room, trying to refine all the Blood Droplets and reunite her primordial spirit as soon as possible.

On this day, Zuo Yan came to visit.

"Brother Lan, do you know what day it is in half a month?"
