Chapter 265 [(*^▽^*)]
Shangguan Yangjiu was also a little worried, "Yes, but you came back just in time. The old ancestor is not at the Alchemist Association headquarters recently."
"When you go there, apply as soon as possible. I will also handle it as soon as possible and get this done quickly so that there won't be any problems."
Ming Fanxing suddenly asked, "Two senior brothers, when we go to the headquarters of the Alchemist Association later, do we still need to take the pill refining test on the spot?"
Shangguan Yangjiu was stunned, "Junior brothers, don't think too much. After you pass the assessment at the Alchemist Association, there will be no more assessments. Your ability can be seen from the results of your daily pill refining. There is no need for multiple tests."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Indeed." Just
as he finished speaking, groups of three or five people came over here not far away. After seeing one of them, Zhang Laodao's expression became much calmer and Shangguan Yangjiu stopped talking.
"Eh? I thought I was seeing things, but it was really you, old man Zhang."
The person who spoke had a somewhat casual tone, and he must be acquainted with Taoist Master Zhang. He seemed to be a leader among these people, and he was very young.
Ming Fanxing pointed out an appraisal, Hu Yumeng, a cultivator of three spiritual roots in the middle stage of foundation building, with the strongest talent of fire spiritual root, and a second-level third-grade pill cultivator.
He should not be able to refine a third-grade foundation building pill, because his spiritual strength is not as strong as Duan Zhongbei.
Ming Fanxing observed secretly, standing aside and not saying anything.
Taoist Master Zhang had an unclear expression when he saw him, and then sneered, "I didn't expect such a coincidence that I could see Master Hu here."
The landscape fan in Hu Yumeng's hand shook proudly.
"Old Zhang, you haven't learned enough of your lesson yet? Aren't you afraid that I'll throw you into those barren lands again when you come back this time?"
He said with a smile, and it sounded like he was joking, but he did it before, and maybe there was a second time.
Taoist Zhang curled his lips, "This time it's not up to your Hu family to decide."
Hu Yumeng thought that Taoist Zhang would be as angry and frustrated as before, but he didn't expect him to be so confident.
He blinked in surprise. It couldn't be that he had become stronger, nor that he had found a backstage, so the only reason was...
Hu Yumeng's eyes fell on Ming Fanxing, who had not been very noticeable from the beginning, and of course he also noticed the jade pendant on his waist.
"Second level, third grade!"
"You are already a second level, third grade alchemist in the early stage of foundation building. You are indeed gifted in alchemy. That's great, old man Zhang. With such a great contribution, I really can't do anything to you for the time being."
He didn't seem to be angry, and was still smiling. "Junior brother Shangguan, please start the teleportation array quickly. It should be time for teleportation."
Ming Fanxing was a little surprised. Hu Yumeng, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, called Shangguan Yangjiu, who was in the late stage of foundation building, his junior brother? And Shangguan Yangjiu didn't seem dissatisfied.
Could it be that... the seniority is calculated according to the grade of the alchemist?
Shangguan Yangjiu had a smiling expression from the beginning, as if he didn't help anyone and didn't offend anyone.
"No problem, everyone stand on the teleportation array, and it will be activated."
He then took out some teleportation talismans and gave them to everyone, one for each person. Hu Yumeng threw away all the people who had just surrounded him and quietly moved to Ming Fanxing's side.
The pair of smiling peach blossom eyes moved in front of him in an instant. Ming Fanxing frowned a little uncomfortably, and then took a step back. Hu Yumeng was very shocked to find him retreating.
"Junior brother, why are you backing off?"
Ming Fanxing said calmly, "I'm just not used to being so close to people, please don't blame me, senior brother."
Hu Yumeng was satisfied, "I told you, I'm so handsome, how could anyone stay away from me just because of my appearance?"
Ming Fanxing sighed inwardly, this was also a funny guy, and a funny guy with power, influence, and a talent for alchemy.
He didn't want to get involved with this Hu Yumeng.
The teleportation array had been activated.
Ming Fanxing no longer paid attention to Hu Yumeng, but stood still. Time passed quickly. After their figures disappeared, the place became quiet again.
Shangguan Yangjiu looked at the empty teleportation array and sighed deeply, "Bad luck!"
He then restrained his expression and quickly took out a sound transmission jade talisman, with a serious expression as if he was communicating with someone.
At this time, Ming Fanxing found that all of them appeared in a wide square. This was the market town that Chief Yangjiu mentioned, which was very close to the headquarters of the Alchemist Association.
The teleportation array was located in the middle of the market town. There were many other teleportation arrays here, so the whole square seemed very large. Only if it was large enough could it accommodate so many teleportation arrays.
Ming Fanxing found that although the market town here was not particularly large, there were many people, and one-third of the cultivators had jade pendants hanging around their waists.
The most common of them were jade pendants with the first-level third-grade mark.
Ming Fanxing suddenly remembered that when he was in Fengwu country, he passed the first level and third grade assessment and was awarded a jade pendant. It looked a little different from the one at the headquarters of the Alchemist Association.
Hu Yumeng sent away all the younger brothers who followed him and approached Ming Fanxing who was looking at the market.
"Where is this junior brother from? I have never seen him before. He should be a newcomer. Oh, by the way, you came with old man Zhang. You should be from that island?" "
That's really a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Before, there was Duan Chongbei, and now there is you. I am beginning to doubt whether there is really anything special on that island."
"By the way, there are all kinds of elixirs and spiritual herbs in the market here. If you want to go shopping, you might as well follow me. I am very familiar with this place!"
Hu Yumeng knew Duan Chongbei, so what's the situation?
Combined with what he said just now, Zhang Laodao was assigned to Shenwu Island because of him, so what was the meaning of him mentioning Duan Chongbei in front of him at this time?
Demonstrating? Let him know that no matter how powerful he is, he can't surpass him?
Ming Fanxing's eyes flashed, he looked at Zhang Laodao, and found that Zhang Laodao didn't react, "Then trouble this senior brother."
"I'm Hu Yumeng, I don't know if this junior brother..."
"Ming Fanxing."
Hu Yumeng, "Junior Brother Ming! Nice to meet you. Junior Brother Ming looks so young, but I didn't expect that you can already build a foundation and pass the assessment to become a second-level third-grade alchemist. Which island are you from?"
Ming Fanxing was very calm. He didn't think he was inferior because he came from a remote island. "It's just a poor island, not worth mentioning."
Hu Yumeng patted his shoulder, "You are too modest. With your talent, you can get a place even in the headquarters of the Alchemist Association!"
"By the way, is it true that you can refine the Foundation Building Pill?"
Ming Fanxing said, "If you can refine the Foundation Building Pill..."
He was interrupted by Hu Yumeng before he finished speaking, "I'm talking about the third-grade Foundation Building Pill!"
Ming Fanxing was silent for a while, "Brother Hu knows everything?"
Hu Yumeng stretched out his fingers and pinched his cheek, "Hahaha, didn't I just want to know if it's true? Come and confirm it."
It turned out that he already knew his background. From the first meeting until now, he said so much, all of which were tests. Good guy, I thought he was really a young man who didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but I didn't expect him to be so scheming.
Sure enough, there is a lot of competition in big places.
Before Ming Fanxing could say anything, Taoist Zhang, who was leading them forward, said, "Yes, I personally watched him pass the test of refining the third furnace of Foundation Building Pill."
Hu Yumeng's eyes widened slightly, this is true!
So... this means that Ming Fanxing has at least the ability to refine a third-grade foundation-building pill for each furnace of foundation-building pills!
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Ming's pill-refining skills are so excellent. I have been troubled for some time because I can't refine a third-grade pill stably. I wonder if Junior Brother Ming can give me some advice."
Ming Fanxing frowned slightly.
"Foundation Building Pills... are extremely difficult to refine. You must not be interrupted during the process of refining the pill, otherwise it is easy to give up all the previous efforts. In addition, different alchemists have slightly different methods of refining pills."
"This difference may not seem big, but when refining pills, extremely subtle differences are fatal, so I'm afraid I can't give you any advice. It's still better to practice until you become perfect."
Hu Yumeng listened to him with a smile, and then sighed, "Just like what my sister said, it seems that there is no shortcut to refining Foundation Building Pills."
Ming Fanxing, "The senior brother who once enlightened me about pill refining once said something."
Hu Yumeng, "What did he say?"
Ming Fanxing said calmly, "Foundation Building Pills are a watershed."
"Only if an alchemist can refine a third-grade foundation-building pill by his own ability can he advance to the next level. If he cannot even refine a foundation-building pill on his own, then in the future..."
He did not finish his words, but anyone with a brain could understand what he meant.
Hu Yumeng nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, sister also said this. The Foundation Building Pill is the most challenging of the second-level pills for alchemists, and it is also the first hurdle for alchemists."
"If you can overcome such a difficulty, then the road ahead will be relatively smoother. After all, the pills to be refined in the future will only be more difficult than the Foundation Building Pill!
" Ming Fanxing, "It's good that Senior Brother Hu understands."
Hu Yumeng still smiled, "Oh, even if I can't ask you, then we can always exchange alchemy experiences with each other in the future, right? Junior Brother Ming won't dislike my lack of experience, right?"
Ming Fanxing shook his head, "How could that be?"
Although he did feel a little annoyed, he wouldn't cut off contact because of this. He would first see if Senior Brother Duan's matter was related to this person.
"But that will have to wait until later. Now I have to go with Senior Brother Zhang to do something and exchange experiences... I can only wait until next time when I have time."
Hu Yumeng waved his hand generously, "It's okay, it's okay, take this, and remember to tell me when you have time."
Ming Fanxing took a look at the sound transmission jade talisman he handed over, and after thinking about it, he took it. "In this case, Junior Brother will accept it." Seeing that
he accepted it, Hu Yumeng's face looked much better, and then he moved his eyes to Zhang Laodao, and the expression on his face faded again.
