Jiang Li arrived at the Alchemy Hall on time.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the temperature here seems to be higher than other places.

Looking at the Alchemy Hall area, the tall chimneys on the roofs are constantly emitting thick smoke. I wonder if the world of immortal cultivation will also be affected by "chemical" pollution thousands of years later.

"Brother, I have accepted the task of creating the alchemy room."

When Jiang Li went over, there were already several outer disciples who were also drug-testing disciples waiting there.

Different from Jiang Li's expectations, everyone else had an uneasy look on their faces. The income of drug testing disciples was high, but if one was unlucky, he might have to lie in bed for several months.

He stepped forward and explained his purpose to a reception disciple.

"Well, give me the identity token."

The disciple took the token and compared it with the information on the list of disciples who were testing the medicine.

"Oh? It's been a while since a Qi Refining Stage disciple took on this task. The Red-haired Elder must be very happy now."

"Haha, Junior Brother Jiang Li, right? The rewards for our Alchemy Hall's missions are always the most generous. You must come often in the future."

This inner sect senior brother was extremely enthusiastic towards Jiang Li, which made him frown.

The reward is generous but no one comes. Why is that? Don’t you have any idea?

Of course he couldn't really say it, he just smiled and said "Yes, yes."

"When everyone is here, just go in from here and walk to the end."

Two of the other outer disciples obviously had experience, so Jiang Li followed them all the way forward and soon arrived at an alchemy room made of white stones.

"Xiao Si! Go check if the disciples who were testing the medicine have arrived!"

Just as he got closer, a deep male voice came from the room, followed by a sound of hurried footsteps.

A moment later, the door of the alchemy room was pushed open from the inside, and a young girl jumped out like a rabbit.

"Why did you come just now? The elders are waiting anxiously. Come in quickly!"

The girl waved repeatedly, and the disciples who were testing the medicine did not dare to argue that they had arrived on time, so they followed her in.

Jiang Li also soon saw the elder who founded the Danfang. He was a well-built man, over two meters tall, with a big beard and hair that was a strange bright red in color.

No wonder he is called the Red-haired Elder, the name is very appropriate.

"Huh? There are only a few of you today? Humph! Today's outer disciples are becoming more and more cowardly."

The red-haired elder was very dissatisfied, but Sutra Valley was a righteous sect after all, and they could not do whatever they wanted. It was impossible for them to capture disciples to test the medicine at will.

"As usual, each of you take one of the pills on the table. After you eat them, tell me how you feel. That's it. It's that simple."

The female disciple who was previously called Xiao Si opened a porcelain bottle on the table and poured out six pills onto the table.

"What are you still standing there for? Take the medicine quickly! I have reduced the dosage. It won't kill you."

Seeing that the disciples who were testing the medicine didn't understand, the red-haired elder urged them impatiently. The six disciples, including Jiang Li, then reluctantly stepped forward and each picked up a pill.

The pill was pitch black and smelled like burnt rock.

The volume of the pill is much smaller than the normal Qi-nourishing and Qi-restoring pills, only about a quarter of the regular size. It seems that the elder did not lie and did reduce the dosage.

Identification Technique! [Name: Unnamed Pill]

【Type: Pill】

[Grade: Unqualified]

【Note: An immature work with a certain effect. 】

Seeing this, the other people had no choice but to follow Jiang Li and swallow the pill. After all, they came here on a mission, and it was too late to regret now.

"How is it? Do you feel anything?"

"Feel it carefully. If you have any special feelings, you can tell me."

The girl named Xiao Si had tied her hair into a ponytail with a piece of cloth at some point, then stood next to the six people holding a notebook, asking questions and observing them.

"I, I feel a little tired."

"Yeah, me too. I'm getting more and more tired..."

"And my skin, it's a little hot and itchy, it's itchy all over my body!"

"Oh no, I can't breathe, Senior Sister Xiao Si! Senior Sister Xiao Si, save me!"

Except for Jiang Li, the other five disciples who were testing the medicine began to scream in fear after they felt unwell.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Two of them had practiced martial arts and had better physical fitness than ordinary people, so they could barely stand. The other three were just ordinary disciples and had now collapsed to the ground.

Seeing their weak limbs and shortness of breath, it doesn't look like they are pretending.

Xiao Si hurried forward to record it, and had already taken out the first aid pills in his hand, ready to give them to them at any time.

"Oh! Have I failed again?!"

Looking at the five disciples who looked sick and half dead, the red-haired elder seemed quite disappointed.

Then he turned his eyes and saw Jiang Li still standing there.

"You...how are you okay?"

Jiang Li was speechless... Can't I be okay?

It's not that he's really okay, it's just that the matter is not serious.

[Taking an unknown elixir, causing a slight loss of physical strength. ]

[If the physical fitness value exceeds 4 points, the slight physical loss effect is exempted! 】

【After taking an unknown pill, he suffered from acute respiratory allergy. 】

[When the physical fitness value exceeds 4 points, the acute respiratory allergy effect is reduced by 70%]

[Mild acute respiratory allergy, respiratory mucosal swelling 5%, lung capacity decreased by 7%, lasting for 30 minutes.] (-+)

[Take an unknown elixir, which has a weak effect of strengthening the skin on oneself. ]

[Weak effect to strengthen the skin, the skin toughness is increased by 5%, the duration is 20 minutes] (-+)

Jiang Li felt helpless. This newly developed elixir was really a rip-off. The side effects were more numerous and stronger than the positive effects. From any perspective, it could not be considered a success.

"Elder, maybe it's because I'm in the early stages of Qi training and I'm an internal martial artist with a stronger physique, so I feel much less severe than them."

Jiang Li's calm answer made the red-haired elder's eyes light up. He took two steps forward and stared at him with burning eyes.

"What about you? Tell me how you feel. Tell me in detail. Don't miss any details."

He snatched the notebook directly from Xiao Si and started recording.

"When I first took it, I felt a little tired like them, but it was very mild and didn't last long, and then the feeling disappeared."
