Chapter 102: Testing the elixir is also a way out (Fourth update)

forecourt.

Huang Fei placed the three kinds of pills on the table.

This time, three second-grade alchemists worked together to refine a companion elixir, saying that it was to test whether the elixir was poisonous, but there was also a competition.

There are only two underground fires in the entire Wenjin Sect. One is on the top of the mountain, and that underground fire belongs to the only third-grade alchemist in the Wenjin Sect.

What's left is this earth fire.

Although the quality of this underground fire is not as good as the one on the mountain, it is still underground fire no matter how bad it is. Moreover, the underground fire on the mountain is not something that a second-grade alchemist can control.

In the past, these three second-grade alchemists had quarreled and fought with each other for the time to use the earth fire, and this time would be the same.

I just don’t know what kind of bet these three second-grade alchemists will propose this time.

What a pity, I am only a first-grade alchemist, and although they are all in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I am only in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, while these three second-grade alchemists are all in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and their statuses are completely different.

Huang Fei collected his thoughts and looked at the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Condensation before him. He said, "Those who can stand here have tried the medicine once. Here are three companion pills. You can choose by yourselves."

Three pills were opened, one black, one dark blue, and one emerald green.

Chu Ning glanced at the three pills, and the medicinal ingredients and functions of these three pills appeared in his mind.

"Senior, I choose this pill."

The reason Chu Ning spoke up at the first moment was because he was afraid that the black pill would be picked up by someone else.

The other two pills are both highly poisonous. The emerald green pill will kill anyone who takes it, and the dark blue pill, although not fatal, will dissipate the spiritual energy in the body of the person who takes it.

It is not a temporary disappearance, but a permanent disappearance, which is equivalent to becoming a useless person.

Only this black pill seems to be the worst, but this pill is a real tonic that can increase the liquid spiritual energy of a foundation-building warrior.

As long as you refine it immediately after taking it, you can still digest the medicinal effects of this pill.

Seeing that Chu Ning chose the black pill so readily, Yang Ming and the others were all confused. In fact, anyone who could test the pill and survived actually had some understanding of pills.

Most pills can be judged by their color to be good medicine or poison pill. Generally speaking, green pills are good medicines, and black pills are poison pills. Why would this person choose black? "Okay, does anyone have a choice for the other two pills?"

Huang Fei looked at Chu Ning deeply, then looked at the others. At this moment in the backyard, the three second-grade alchemists sensed the movement in the front yard and started talking.

"Junior Brother Bao, it seems that your companion poison is the most popular. That kid chose it without hesitation. If he didn't know that this was a pill test, he would have thought that you, Junior Brother Bao, had made some miraculous pill and the disciples in the sect were scrambling to get it."

Bao Huining said calmly: "Junior brother himself is not sure about this pill."

Bao Huining was very clear about the thoughts of his two senior brothers. He was a latecomer who surpassed the others. It only took him ten years to break through from a first-grade alchemist to a second-grade alchemist. The two senior brothers were somewhat jealous.

After all, it took these two senior brothers more than 30 years to break through from the first rank to the second rank. Compared with himself, the aura of genius alchemists around them was dimmed.

"Junior Brother Bao is too modest."

Qiong Liangyou and Zhang Junming didn't say anything more, because the three pills in the front yard had already been distributed.

…

forecourt.

"Once you've chosen, swallow it."

Huang Fei stared at Chu Ning and the other two. Chu Ning did not hesitate and directly put the pill into his mouth. As soon as the pill entered his body, the spiritual energy in Chu Ning's body became agitated and began to wash over his limbs and bones frantically.

Chu Ning's expression was somewhat ferocious. The next moment he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice his skills.

Huang Fei's mouth twitched when he saw this scene. He might have thought that this guy was a disciple of their Wenjin Sect, who had taken a pill bestowed by the sect's elders to increase his cultivation.

Only Bao Huining and the other two in the backyard had slightly changed expressions.

With their second-grade alchemist's eyesight, they could almost judge the effect of the pill just from the subtle changes in Chu Ning's body after he swallowed the pill.

"This elixir...is very effective. Congratulations, Junior Brother Bao."

Qiong Liangyou and Zhang Junming said congratulations, but there was a gloomy look in their eyes.

Although the companion elixir is obtained randomly, if the efficacy of the companion elixir is very good, it can be reversed based on the medicinal materials, and finally the companion elixir can be refined as the main medicine. Once it is successfully refined, it can be exchanged for many resources from the sect.

"It's also luck. I can't compare to my two brothers."

Bao Huining stroked his beard and smiled, but he had more appreciation for the young man who took his elixir.

This young man was very smart. He started to meditate and refine the medicine as soon as he took the pill. If he was a step slower, the effect of the medicine would have completely exploded and he would not have been able to refine it all at once, resulting in damage to his meridians.

As long as not all of a cultivator's meridians are damaged, they can be restored, but that takes three to five years, and he also has to take some elixirs to restore the meridians. It will take even longer for a elixir slave.

Chu Ning was concentrating on refining the elixir, and the cultivator holding the emerald green elixir also had a hint of hope on his face.

Even the black pill, which is most likely to be a poison pill, is not a poison pill, so the possibility that this pill of mine is a good medicine is even greater.

Swallow it in one gulp.

The male monk was also ready to meditate and refine his energy at any time, but within three breaths, blood began to seep out of his nostrils and under his eyelids, his face began to turn blue, and in the blink of an eye he fell to the ground and became a corpse.

"What a waste."

In the backyard, Qiong Liangyou cursed softly. He didn't care about Dannu's life or death, but he cared about losing the bet.

Bao Huining took a sip of the fragrant tea without responding.

Seeing the miserable state of the fallen man, the hopeful look on the face of the only remaining man disappeared, and he held the pill but was hesitant to put it into his mouth.

"Swallow it quickly!"

Huang Fei shouted angrily, and the pressure from the foundation-building expert made the man tremble all over, and he hurriedly put the pill into his mouth.

After taking the pill, the man looked nervous and everyone else stared at him. After a few breaths, seeing that there was no change in the man, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little regretful.

It seems that there will be no problem with two of the three pills this time. If they had known this earlier, they would have stepped forward.

"White...white hair. He has white hair."

Ten breaths later, Yang Ming's voice trembled a little and his eyes pointed at the man's head. As he pointed, others also noticed that the man's originally black hair began to turn white.

Moreover, it was changing at a very fast speed. As the black hair turned white, wrinkles appeared visibly on the man's face and the skin all over his body began to become loose.

"Where's my spiritual energy?"

The man's voice became hoarse. He had cultivated for a hundred years to the late stage of Qi Condensation. Now his cultivation was gone and he was no longer young as before. He was reduced to his original form.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Bao. You win the bet this time. I have another batch of pills to make, so I'll leave first."

"Junior Brother Bao, the same goes for Senior Brother. I'll take my leave first."

"Take care, brothers."

Bao Huining stood up to see him off. From now on, for a year, the manor would belong to him alone.

After seeing the two off, Bao Huining returned to the pavilion, where Huang Fei was already standing there respectfully waiting.

"Uncle Bao, the elixir has been tested."

Although he knew that these three uncles must have known the result in the front yard, Huang Fei still recounted it respectfully.

"Well, let them go. What's the name of that young man?"

Huang Fei was stunned. Young man?

But he soon understood who Uncle Bao was asking about, but he didn't know the man's name.

“That’s all.”

Bao Huining waved his hand. He was just asking casually. He just felt that the young man who was testing the medicine was a little lucky.

Huang Fei walked towards the front yard while watching Master Bao leave. What did Master Bao mean by that? Did he like that man, or did he have other ideas? In any case, since Master Bao had spoken, he would not arrange for this person to test the effects of those poison pills in the future.

forecourt.

An hour later, Chu Ning opened his eyes. Besides him, there was only one disciple from Wenjin Sect staring at him. Yang Ming and others had disappeared.

"Wen Jinzong is quite good. He actually let me digest the power of the pill without disturbing me."

Chu Ning stood up and whispered in his heart that this pill was equivalent to his half a year of practice.

Sure enough, taking drugs and spending money is the only way to quickly become an immortal.

"Come with me."

When the disciple of Wen Jinzong saw that Chu Ning had finished refining the elixir, he said lightly that he would stand here and wait because it was ordered by Uncle Huang Fei. Although he didn't know why Uncle Huang Fei was so kind to an elixir slave, he dared not disobey his uncle's order.

"Old Black, if we could get a few dozen of these pills, we would be able to build our foundation."

"What good things do you think? You'll only get the first one. Once the effect is confirmed, there's no need for you to try."

Chu Ning didn't get angry after being retorted by Lao Hei. He also knew that this was impossible, but from the current perspective, being a pill slave is not bad. It is equivalent to having free pills to take.

If this pattern of being selected by their Dannu continues, let alone ten times, as long as he is not driven away, he can stay until the destruction of the Wenjin Sect.

In the following period of time, Chu Ning tried the elixir three more times, but unfortunately they were all elixirs made by first-grade alchemists, and they did not help much in improving his cultivation. In order not to attract less attention, he deliberately picked a elixir with side effects for the last time, and as a result, he had diarrhea for half a month.

More than half a year passed peacefully, and Chu Ning met Huang Fei again.

He knew that he had to test the second-grade elixir again.

Huang Fei saw the uneasy expression on Chu Ning's face and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "My eyes were blurry just now. I felt like I saw a hint of excitement in Chu Ning's eyes just now."

A strong person in the Foundation Establishment Stage would not normally be dazzled, but which elixir slave would be excited about being able to try out the elixir, so it could only be that I was dazzled.

Have you been too focused on refining pills recently and consumed too much of your energy?

"This time, Master Bao refined three new pills and needs someone to test them."

Hearing Huang Fei's sudden reminder, Chu Ning was stunned, and then quickly said: "Thank you for the reminder, senior."

"Although you have learned alchemy, some elixirs cannot be deduced by ordinary pharmacology."

Huang Fei's reminder came to an abrupt end here. After Uncle Bao pointed out Chu Ning last time, he went to investigate Chu Ning's background, and found out why Chu Ning became a Dan slave, as well as Chu Ning's experience before becoming a Dan slave.

To put it bluntly, he was simply an innocent victim of Qin Shan's misfortune, but this matter was not something he, a disciple in the early stage of foundation building, could decide. He gave Chu Ning some advice only because of a word from Uncle Master Bao.

"The kindness of the elders will be remembered by the younger generation."
