Half a month later.
Chen Luo finished eating all the pills and successfully came out of seclusion.
'Blood Pill Condensation Rate 100%, Gold Pill Condensation Rate 33%'
The mummy's brain sensed the state of the spirit body and derived an accurate probability. After half a month of accumulation, Chen Luo finally saw the hope of condensing a perfect golden elixir. However, the success rate of condensing the golden elixir made Chen Luo's face turn black.
"It's less than half, what's the difference between this and committing suicide?!"
Blood Pill Condensation only needs to go through three thunder tribulations to advance, but Golden Pill Advancement requires going through nine thunder tribulations. The power of the Heart Demon Tribulation will also be doubled, and the difficulty is many times stronger than ordinary Pill Condensation.
Of course, the strength of the two after the breakthrough is also very different.
Jindan cultivators have the possibility of condensing an infant, and their strength crushes that of blood elixir cultivators.
Rejecting Mei Qin's request to stay, Chen Luo left Mei's house and went to the market in Yaowang City. After the herbs were used up, he needed to find a place to replenish them, and there was also the issue of resources. He planned to exchange the unused resources on him for the currency of Yaowang City, which would make trading more convenient.
The Alchemy Conference has entered its later stages. After several rounds of elimination, only five alchemists are left.
These five people are the best among the first-level alchemists. Each of them has made a lot of friends through this competition. If nothing unexpected happens, these five people will have no problem building their foundation in the future. If they are lucky, they may have the opportunity to become disciples of the elders of Yaowang City and soar to the sky.
"The recipe for the Soul-Attracting Pill?"
In the old hall, the light of the night pearl illuminated the entire medicinal materials trading area. An old man with a white beard was flipping through the book in his hand. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and looked Chen Luo up and down.
"The Soul-Guiding Pill is a third-level pill recipe."
"Name your price."
Chen Luo took out a storage bag from his sleeve, which was filled with spirit stones, including ten pieces of spirit marrow.
He had consulted a lot of information before and found a kind of elixir that could speed up the refining of spiritual power. However, this kind of elixir was very expensive and was not sold on the market.
Chen Luo, who had a third-level alchemist's brain, didn't think about buying it. He just needed to find the corresponding pill recipe and make it himself. The third-level alchemist's brain he picked up before was making the Infant Condensation Pill when he died. It was a genuine fourth-level pill.
"These things don't work in our Medicine King City."
The old man in the pharmacy withdrew his gaze and didn't even look at the spirit stone that Chen Luo took out.
"Medicine King City only accepts Dan coins."
"Help me exchange them for Dan coins, and I'll give you the extra ones."
Chen Luo didn't want to run anymore. This shop had the recipe for the Soul-Attracting Pill, and he had inquired about it before coming here. With his perfect foundation-building strength, many things were easy to find out, especially since he had seen the "inner demons" of the people in Medicine King City once before.
"Rules are rules. Also, you can't buy the recipe with just pill coins. You need to be qualified to buy it. If you really want to buy the recipe for the Soul-Attracting Pill, you might as well take the Alchemist Assessment. Once you have the status of an Alchemist, you can buy as many Soul-Attracting Pills as you want."
The old man reminded.
In Yaowang City, one must follow the rules of Yaowang City. This was a reminder given because of Chen Luo's identity as a disciple of the Qionghua Sect.
The cooperation between Yaowang City and Qionghua Sect is very close. Every time Yaowang City encounters a strong enemy, it asks the masters of Qionghua Sect to help solve the problem. Although they are neutral sects, their private relationship far exceeds that of other sects.
The same goes for cultivating immortals. It’s not all about fighting and killing, it also involves the ways of the world.
"Go out and turn right at the test location. It's the tallest building."
After sensing the number of powerful people in Yaowang City, Chen Luo collected the spirit stones on the table and turned to go to the Alchemy Hall of Yaowang City.
The assessment point for alchemists is right here.
There were a few people standing sparsely in the empty alchemy hall. A group of Qi Refining Realm cultivators were buying basic knowledge of alchemy here, and some were selling materials for first-level Qi and Blood Pills. These people were all low-level cultivators who had the qualifications to make alchemy and wanted to learn the art of alchemy.
After Chen Luo came in, he spread out his spiritual sense and quickly found the strongest person here.
The aura of the great monk of the Perfect Realm was transmitted, and soon attracted the attention of the foundation-building monk sitting inside. Chen Luo didn't want to participate in the alchemy test with these low-level monks. Not only was it tedious, but he would also have to waste several days waiting for the results.
If you have the ability, you will naturally take the shortcut.
"Do you want to buy some pills, fellow Daoist?"
Wei Kong looked at the strange foundation-building cultivator in front of him with a look of surprise. The aura he exuded just now was definitely one of the best among the great cultivators. As an alchemist, Wei Kong's perception was even stronger than that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators, so he naturally understood the gap here.
"I'm here to take the test for my alchemist qualification, and exchange it for some Medicine King City's alchemy coins."
Chen Luo restrained his breath and said with a smile. "Now that everyone has come down, there is naturally no need to waste time."
Assessing the alchemist?
Wei Kong glanced at Chen Luo suspiciously, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he enthusiastically led Chen Luo in.
"So you are a fellow alchemist. Please come in."
After the two men left, the Qi Refining Realm cultivators in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at Chen Luo, who had cut in line, with envy, and imagined that in the future they would also be able to be received in person by an elder like this Foundation Establishment senior.
"The alchemist test is very simple. You only need to refine a Qi and Blood Pill."
Wei Kong did not make things difficult for Chen Luo and found the simplest assessment plan.
Regardless of whether this person can make pills or not, in Wei Kong's opinion, a great cultivator in the Perfection Realm deserves his careful treatment. After bringing Chen Luo in, he personally introduced the process, costs, materials used, and the pill furnace to Chen Luo.
Walking into the alchemy room for the assessment, the alchemy materials and the alchemy furnace were already prepared. There was a surging underground fire in the middle of the room, and rolling heat waves were blowing towards me.
"Then let's get started."
Chen Luo picked up the ordinary alchemy furnace provided by Yaowang City nearby, grabbed some pills from the side, and threw them into the furnace.
Wei Kong, who was passing by, saw this scene and his expression changed slightly.
'To treat herbs so casually.'
Under the watchful eyes of Elder Wei Kong, Chen Luo mobilized the brain of a third-level alchemist, grabbed the first-, second-, and even third-level materials nearby, and threw all the medicinal materials for the assessment into the furnace.
'What a waste! What a waste.'
Wei Kong’s face became increasingly ugly.
If Chen Luo did not possess the strength of a great cultivator at the Perfection Realm, he would have wanted to stop him. He had never heard of anyone being able to refine first-, second-, and third-level elixirs at the same time.
Chen Luo was busy refining the elixir.
After the elixir is put into the furnace, quickly close the furnace.
The ring finger and little finger of the right hand were bent, and the index finger and middle finger were raised habitually to point in the air. Every time the fingertips touched, a ball of spiritual energy would fly out of the fingertips, and a ball of sparks would rise from under the alchemy furnace.
These sparks are distributed in various positions of the alchemy furnace, dividing the elixir inside into three directions for smelting.
This method of controlling fire is different from Elder An's.
This was a habit of the third-level alchemist in his lifetime. Chen Luo had never learned it, and just followed the brain's instinct to use it. When this Dan-forming brain was collected, the damage was 91%, and the remaining 9 points of integrity allowed him to retain a lot of instincts.
'Spark Alchemy?!'
Elder Wei Kong, who had originally seemed somewhat indifferent, suddenly changed his expression.
As he watched, the liquid medicine in the furnace melted visibly. The three liquid medicines did not conflict with each other, and the scarlet flames below were constantly changing, some were slow fires, some were strong fires. The heating surfaces were also different, and although they were in the same furnace, they did not affect each other at all.
Soon, the alchemy furnace was started for the first time under Chen Luo's operation.
The first refined Qi and Blood Pill flew out, each one was round and translucent. The second-level and third-level elixirs being refined in the alchemy furnace quickly changed color after the cold air rushed in, and the originally disrupted temperature was instantly restored.
Wei Kong was stunned by this scene.
He himself was also a second-level alchemist, but he had never heard of anyone using the furnace to control the temperature. If excess gas entered, wouldn't he worry about reducing the quality of the pills and then exploding the furnace?
The alchemy furnace fell down.
The last spark of fire dissipated, and the second- and third-level elixirs for the test came out one after another. The whole process was smooth, as if it had been refined thousands of times.
"These three pills should be enough to pass the test, right?"
Chen Luo waved his hand and placed the three pills on the tray next to him, and put the rest into his sleeves.
"I didn't expect that fellow Daoist is actually a third-rank alchemist. I am shortsighted." Upon hearing this, Wei Kong immediately stood up and saluted Chen Luo.
This time the attitude was twice as good as before.
Before, it was the cultivation that suppressed them. For beings like alchemists, cultivation can only make them surrender on the surface. The one who really makes them surrender must be a higher-level alchemist. Chen Luo happened to have this strength, which made Elder Wei Kong convinced.
"Excuse me, but I wonder what the relationship is between You and Master Gu Yue?" After giving the alchemist's nameplate to Chen Luo, Elder Wei Kong couldn't help but ask.
"Master Gu Yue?"
Chen Luo was puzzled. It was the first time he heard of this name.
"The Starfire Alchemy Technique that Daoist friend used to make the elixir just now is the unique technique of Immortal Gu Yue. Eight hundred years ago, Immortal Gu Yue was a frequent guest of our Medicine King City. It's a pity that this senior later went on a journey, and the Starfire Alchemy Technique was lost." At this point, Elder Wei Kong showed a look of regret on his face.
"I see."
Chen Luo sensed the third-level alchemist in his external brain and gained some understanding of this person's identity in his previous life.
"Come to think of it, Master Gu Yue is also from the Qiong Hua Sect, just like you."
Seeing that Chen Luo had no intention of elaborating, Wei Kong took the initiative to introduce himself to Chen Luo.
Gu Yue Zhenren is the Zhenren of the Taixu Peak of the Qionghua Sect. Not only is he powerful, but his alchemy skills are also well-known in the south. The mayor of Yaowang City is a good friend of Gu Yue Zhenren. In addition to his strength and alchemy skills, Gu Yue Zhenren also has a very deep background in the Qionghua Sect. It is said that the Taixu Patriarch of the Qionghua Sect who wields the magic sword is Gu Yue Zhenren's biological brother.
Have strength, background and qualifications.
Such a person was actually killed in the process of refining the Ningying Pill. As expected, being an alchemist is also a high-risk job. The higher the quality of the pill, the greater the destructive power after the explosion. Perhaps there is something that Chen Luo did not see. After all, he only saw a part of the scene before Gu Yue Zhenren's death.
Boom.
A bell rang.
"It's the finals of the Alchemy Conference. Since you are the descendant of Gu Yue Zhenren, you might as well go and take a look. You can also give some pointers to the younger generation. Maybe you can even accept a disciple to inherit your legacy."
Elder Wei Kong, who heard the voice, seemed to suddenly remember something and pulled Chen Luo towards the direction of the alchemy conference.
A third-level alchemist has arrived, and we can’t just let him go like that.
He must introduce him to the city lord. If he is willing to register in Yaowang City, then he will not have to do the meritorious missions in the past few years and can go back to lying down and making pills. (End of this chapter)
