In preparation for the Eastern Wilderness Pill Gathering, Qin Xin did not return directly to the inner courtyard.
Under Ming Ningzhu's arrangement, Qin Xin arrived at a cultivation room inside the Black Dragon City Pill Tower.
Qin Xin currently possesses the sixth-grade high-level pill, Fuling Qingdan, but due to his limited strength, he is unable to refine it for the time being, so he has not taken it out. As for the Five-Star Condensing True Pill, it is a fourth-grade low-level pill, and even if he were to refine it, it would not be competitive in the Eastern Wilderness Pill Gathering.
Qin Xin had previously refined the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill. By refining the pill's energy, he elevated its grade to the fourth-grade high level, which allowed it to defeat the Clear Void Breaking Barrier Pill refined by Ding Sheng.
The rules for this Eastern Wilderness Pill Gathering have not yet been finalized, so Qin Xin is not very confident at the moment. Right now, he can only try to obtain the recipe for a grade 5 primary pill and see if he can complete the refining. Only by refining a grade 5 pill can he have a glimmer of hope to compete for the championship in this Eastern Wilderness Pill Gathering.
Because of Ming Ningzhu, Qin Xin was able to participate in the alchemist assessment directly in the Black Dragon City Pill Tower.
Qin Xin's original assessment for the third-grade alchemist was already quite some time ago. Now, Qin Xin's alchemy skills are no longer what they used to be, so he plans to directly participate in the assessment for the fourth-grade intermediate alchemist.
This is mainly because in the Black Dragon City Pill Tower, if one can pass the assessment of a fourth-grade intermediate alchemist, in addition to obtaining identity certification, one can also obtain the pill formula for the Nourishing Essence Pill.
Although the Peiyuan Pill, as a low-grade fifth-rank pill, is widely circulated and possessed by most sects, and can be obtained in some auction houses with sufficient spirit stones, its price is relatively expensive because it is a very practical cultivation pill for experts at the Yuanfu Realm.
Before leaving Tianyuan City, Qin Lin gave Qin Xin several dozen low-grade spirit stones, but Qin Xin did not want to waste these spirit stones on buying the recipe for the Peiyuan Pill, so he asked Ming Ningzhu to help him arrange the assessment for a fourth-grade intermediate alchemist.
After arriving at the assessment site, Qin Xin greeted Ming Ningzhu and went directly into a room.
Looking at the alchemy materials on the stone platform in the room, Qin Xin guessed what kind of pill he needed to refine.
Yellow Dragon Mysterious Elixir.
As a mid-grade fourth-rank pill, the Yellow Dragon Profound Truth Pill has an extremely complicated refining process that severely tests the alchemist's basic abilities, making it a natural choice for use as an assessment pill.
After taking out the necessary elixirs from the pile of herbs.
After taking the Blazing Black Iron Furnace out of his spatial ring, Qin Xin placed it in front of him, closed his eyes, and began the pre-refining of the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill.
Through the continuous infusion of spiritual consciousness, each step of refining the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill slowly appeared within the mysterious fragment of the map.
Outside the room, Ming Wei, Liu Jue, and some elderly men dressed in alchemist robes were all watching Qin Xin, who was taking the assessment.
"Good temperament, no rush to refine it." Ming Wei looked at the scene in the alchemy room projected in front of him and praised Qin Xin's approach repeatedly.
Liu Jue, standing to the side, wore a smile on his face. He had made a bet with Ming Wei: if Qin Xin could refine a perfect Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, Ming Wei would have to pay a high-grade sixth-rank pill as a wager, and vice versa.
Of course, the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill is extremely difficult to refine due to its complicated steps. Even with the strength of a sixth-grade advanced alchemist, he was not 100% confident in refining a perfect Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, so he did not really believe that he could refine it.
"Hmph, if this kid can really refine the perfect Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, I'll be willing to lose even a sixth-grade high-level pill to you." Ming Wei said irritably, looking at Liu Jue who looked confident of victory. He naturally realized that he had fallen into the trap set by the person in front of him, but he couldn't take back what he had said.
The two men, glaring at each other with fierce expressions, drew helpless shakes from several tower masters dressed in fifth-grade alchemist robes, who seemed to be used to such scenes.
"He's started refining it!"
Suddenly someone spoke, and the entire room immediately fell silent.
In the alchemy room, Qin Xin suddenly opened his eyes. With a light tap of his finger, the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern on his Martial Spirit emitted a faint orange glow. Yang Fire fell into the Blazing Black Iron Furnace, and with the injection of a trace of wood attribute, the flames in the entire furnace rose up.
"It seems this must be the Yang Fire of the Zhan Clan. This kid is quite capable to have subdued it." Ming Wei nodded as he looked at the flames Qin Xin unleashed.
Liu Jue did not contradict Ming Wei at this time, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Back then, I also tried to collect this Yang Fire, but unfortunately it was a bit weak and not as powerful as some beast fires, so I gave up. However, this boy was able to subdue it, which is enough to prove his powerful fire control ability."
As he spoke, Qin Xin waved his hand lightly, and several spiritual herbs for refining the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill fell directly into the Blazing Black Iron Furnace.
Qin Xin's gaze sharpened slightly. As his fingertips formed hand seals, the flames in the alchemy furnace were meticulously divided into several parts, each part of the flames enveloping a spiritual herb.
After about half an hour, the essence of the medicinal herb was completely extracted and placed into the jade bottle that Qin Xin had prepared in advance.
Seeing Qin Xin's speed and complete purification of the elixir, Ming Wei nodded repeatedly, stroking his beard as if he had gained some insight.
Qin Xin made some adjustments. The amount of true energy required to refine the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill was enormous. Although he was already at the ninth level of the Opening Aperture Realm, it would still be difficult to complete the refining in one go.
After swallowing the Qi-restoring pill, Qin Xin began the next step in refining the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill: fusion.
As different spiritual herbs were added, Qin Xin manipulated the temperature of the flames to fuse them together.
The whole process went very smoothly.
“Old Liu, although this boy has good fire control, I’m afraid he’s not capable of refining a perfect Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill.” Ming Wei saw that Qin Xin had already completed the fusion of the spiritual herb essence, and he could naturally detect that there were many impurities in it. Therefore, he concluded that Qin Xin could not refine a perfect Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, so he spoke up.
Liu Jue revealed a somewhat mysterious smile, "Don't be in such a hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, flames suddenly burst forth from the alchemy furnace in front of Qin Xin, surprising all the alchemists present.
"This is... this method... this kid..." Ming Wei was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected Qin Xin to come up with such a method for condensing pills.
Liu Jue looked at Ming Wei, who was in a daze, with a mocking expression. Little did he know that when he saw Qin Xin use this method to refine the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, he was also shocked.
At this moment, Qin Xin held a Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill the size of a thumb in his hand, feeling the red pill energy floating above him. He nodded with some satisfaction. Although it failed to form pill patterns, this Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill could still be said to be quite perfect.
Upon exiting the alchemy room, Qin Xin was taken aback by the appearance of several elderly men before him.
