When the third-level alchemist assessment was over, Su Jinyue and a young man in white were the only ones left in the entire venue.
The old man smiled at the two of them and said, "You're both good! Next up is the Level 4 Alchemist assessment. I hope you can continue to advance." Level 3 and Level 4 Alchemists are a watershed, and reaching Level 4 means you're an Intermediate Alchemist. Intermediate Alchemists are highly sought after in any city, and even small and medium-sized sects will do their best to establish ties with them.
Su Jinyue and the young man in white nodded simultaneously. They were both extremely confident in refining a fourth-level elixir.
"The fourth-level alchemist exam is different from the previous three. This time, you will choose the elixir you wish to refine," the old man said with a smile. He sincerely hoped they could continue to advance. If they could pass the fourth-level alchemist exam, the ten elders of Dan City would allow them to choose who would be their master. Both of them were so young, and their future achievements in alchemy were bound to be limitless.
"I'm refining the Hun Tian Pill." The young man in white was the first to speak. He had already decided what kind of pill he wanted to refine.
Su Jinyue thought about the recipe in the Shennong Pharmacopoeia and said, "I will refine the Shenning Pill." Among all the fourth-level pills in the Shennong Pharmacopoeia, the Shenning Pill is relatively simple to refine.
The old man was a little surprised, "What is the Shen Ning Pill?" He had never heard of this kind of pill.
Su Jinyue was also a little confused when she heard the old man's question. Could it be that the people of Tianyue Continent didn't know about the Shen Ning Dan? She had refined all the elixirs from level one to three in the Shennong Pharmacopoeia, as long as she had the corresponding spiritual herbs, and there had never been any problems. So there would definitely be no problem with the Shen Ning Dan.
"The Shen Ning Pill is a fourth-level spiritual pill that can repair damaged spiritual consciousness. The main spiritual herbs are Thousand Spirit Grass, Night Spirit Leaf, Red Blood Dragon Grass, Wangyou Juehun Grass and Mu Shen Grass." Su Jinyue said.
"Can Mushen Grass be used in elixirs?" the old man and the young man in white exclaimed in surprise. Everyone on the Tianyue Continent knew that once Mushen Grass was used to refine elixirs, it would release a toxin, a poison that even cultivators could not find a cure for. Yet, Su Jinyue claimed that Mushen Grass could be used to refine elixirs and even restore spiritual consciousness. Was she truly capable of refining it, or was she just talking nonsense?
"Yes," Su Jinyue said affirmatively. She suspected Shennong was also a cultivator, but not from the Tianyue Continent. The universe was boundless, and those who could cultivate were definitely not limited to those from the Tianyue Continent. Shennong possessed the Shennong Ding, a supreme magical instrument, and she had yet to fully acquire it.
The old man waved his hand, and the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Concentration Pill fell on Su Jinyue's desk. "I hope what you said is true."
Su Jinyue looked at the spiritual herbs on the table, recalled the interpretation of the elixir recipe in the Shennong Herbal Classic, picked up the spiritual herbs and began to throw them into the alchemy furnace in order.
The spiritual herbs needed to refine the Hun Tian Dan fell onto the young man's desk. He could only sigh in regret as he began to refine the Hun Tian Dan. He longed to watch Su Jinyue refine the Ning Shen Dan, but he was also taking the test. Alchemy required complete concentration; he couldn't afford to distract himself by looking at others, otherwise the elixir would be wasted.
Su Jinyue threw herself into alchemy, but this was her first time refining a fourth-level elixir, so it was impossible not to be nervous. If she failed, she would be relegated to a third-level alchemist. Although becoming a third-level alchemist would bring many people to her for alchemy, the elixirs they needed would definitely be first to third-level elixirs. She had no shortage of lower-level spiritual herbs herself.
But it was different when she became a fourth-level alchemist. People came to her to refine fourth-level pills. She had fourth-level spiritual herbs to practice with and could also improve her alchemy skills. I believe it won't be long before she can advance again.
The old man had been watching Su Jinyue, afraid of missing any details. This was the first time he had heard that Mu Shencao could be used to make pills, and he hoped she would succeed.
Lan Moqi was a little surprised to see that only Xiao Qi was there, "Where's Xiao Shan?"
"Master! She's gone to take the alchemist exam and hasn't come out yet," Xiao Qi said. He was also very puzzled. Even if Xiao Shan was an alchemist, she couldn't be an intermediate-level one, otherwise how could she not even afford a single spiritual herb? In his impression, alchemists were all relatively wealthy, just like the alchemists in Dan City, who were all extremely wealthy.
"She is an alchemist?" Lan Moqi asked in surprise.
Xiao Qi nodded. "At first, I thought she was a first-level alchemist and would be released soon after the assessment. But now, even the third-level alchemist assessment has ended, and she still hasn't come out."
"Are you sure she's really taking the alchemist exam?" Lan Moqi frowned. This was the Alchemist Association, and he was a little worried about which alchemist Xiao Shan had offended.
"I saw her go in, and I asked the alchemists taking the test, and they said Xiaoshan was indeed there," Xiaoqi said. He was a little unsure, though. The woman in the purple dress wasn't just Xiaoshan; it could be someone else.
"What level of alchemist exam is going on right now?" Lan Moqi asked. While the Green Palace was open to visitors, the alchemist exams were not. Even those who took the exams left as soon as they were finished.
"It should be level four," Xiao Qi said. He knew this; he had asked someone about it when the level three alchemist exam was over. The person he asked also told him that there were only two people left. One of them was the woman in the purple dress.
Lan Moqi curled his lips slightly. It seemed like she was hiding something very deep.
Su Jinyue used her spiritual sense to control the medicinal liquid in the furnace, slowly fusing it. Just as it was about to form a pill, she sensed something was amiss and quickly activated a pill-forming technique. The medicinal liquid quickly took shape, but it was still a step too late. She had originally intended to form nine pills, but now only five had formed: two low-grade Shen Ning Pills, two mid-grade Shen Ning Pills, and one high-grade Shen Ning Pill.
Su Jinyue raised her hands and clapped them, placing the five Shen Ning Dan pills into the jade bottle. Looking at the Shen Ning Dan pills in the jade bottle, she was filled with disappointment. Although she had managed to refine the Shen Ning Dan pills, she still needed to practice continuously to become a true fourth-level alchemist.
The old man stepped forward and stretched out his hand, saying, "Let me see." Although the grade of the pill was not ideal, Su Jinyue's pill was indeed successfully refined. He just didn't know what the effect of the pill was.
Taking the jade bottle, the old man poured out the pill and sniffed it carefully. A faint medicinal fragrance entered his nose. He looked at Su Jinyue and asked, "Are you sure this pill can repair your consciousness?"
