Chapter 411: Advancement to Grand Master of Alchemy
Fu Rong watched eagerly as Ning Xuan put the Nine Revolutions Holy Healing Pill into her space button. She was very envious of the pill and wondered if Ning Xuan could sell it.
"With so many precious medicinal materials and a thousand-year-old snow ganoderma, you only make one pill. It's such a waste of medicinal materials. No matter how magical this pill is, it can't compare to the value of that thousand-year-old snow ganoderma." Lan Shuiyu said jealously, looking at Ning Xuan's alchemy furnace.
"Of course there's not just one pill." Ning Xuan reached into the pill furnace and grabbed a handful of golden pills. She put the pills into a glass bottle, and there was actually a whole bottle.
Fu Rong was stunned. Then she reacted and immediately shouted, "Ning Xuan, you have to sell me a few of these pills no matter what."
Next, Ning Xuan continued to refine the pills. The others all refined pills with relatively simple recipes at the beginning, so someone could succeed occasionally. But as time went on, there were more and more furnace explosions and refining failures. After Fu Rong successfully refined two batches of pills, he kept failing. After failing three batches, he felt a little depressed. Seeing that there was only half an hour left to the end, he simply extinguished the fire, came to Ning Xuan, and watched Ning Xuan refine the pills.
Like Fu Rong, there were quite a few people surrounding Ning Xuan. They felt it was magical as they watched Ning Xuan use the dozen or so vines to process and refine the medicinal materials in an orderly manner, and then put them into the alchemy furnace in order for further tempering.
After all, they are all alchemists who have been immersed in alchemy for decades or even hundreds of years. Naturally, they can sense that the spiritual power distributed on these dozen vines has the same origin as Ning Xuan. In other words, these dozen vines are all under Ning Xuan's control.
She had to control more than a dozen vines at once, and her main focus was on the alchemy furnace. Moreover, each vine did something different, and there was also a sequence in the process of adding the medicinal materials. This meant that Ning Xuan had to concentrate on more than a dozen positions and ensure that there was no mistake in any of them. Just thinking about it made her feel that it was impossible to do.
Ning Xuan is only 20 years old this year. Even if she is gifted and has strong mental power, she should not have such an incredible ability to control her mental power so precisely.
Ning Xuan was concentrating on refining pills and didn't care about the onlookers around her. She wanted to make as many pills as possible within the time allowed. Of course, Ning Xuan didn't choose those basic prescriptions with less difficulty, but the prescriptions with precious medicinal materials that were rarely seen in daily life as the main ingredients.
In addition to the Nine-Turn Holy Healing Pill, Ning Xuan also refined the Exorcist Fire Spirit Pill and the Golden Lotus Anti-Poison Pill.
The last batch of pills Ning Xuan refined was the Golden Lotus Anti-Poison Pill. The refining process of this pill was very complicated. After a long period of high-intensity operation, Ning Xuan felt her fingertips trembling slightly and fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Continuously refining high-level pills has strained her mental and physical strength.
The fire energy in her body was almost depleted, and her mind was exhausted from intense concentration. But her eyes remained firm, and in the light of the fire, it seemed as if an eternal flame burned deep in her pupils.
The crowd watching nearby stared at Ning Xuan intently. They wanted to see clearly the techniques used by Ning Xuan. After all, Ning Xuan was able to refine such a complicated elixir formula, and it didn't take much time. Based on this alone, Ning Xuan's techniques were worth learning.
Under everyone's fixed gaze, Ning Xuan formed a complicated hand seal with her hand and slapped the hand seal on the wall of the alchemy furnace. The spiritual fire in the furnace suddenly changed color. The originally red flame gradually turned into light gold. Lotus patterns appeared above the alchemy furnace, slowly blooming as if it had life.
"Is this... the Golden Lotus Anti-Poison Pill?" An examiner who was watching the surveillance video widened his eyes and his voice changed.
"Is she crazy? This kind of elixir is the most difficult to refine. I heard that no one can successfully refine it."
Ning Xuan ignored the exclamations around her. She formed hand seals, her fingertips channeling spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace like threads, precisely blending every bit of the medicinal power. Her movements remained fluid, but a closer look revealed that her breathing was uneven and her face was pale.
"Just a little bit more..." Ning Xuan gritted her teeth and forced out the last bit of energy in her body.
A clear lotus fragrance emanated from Ning Xuan's alchemy furnace. The fragrance was so pure that it seemed to be able to cleanse all the filth in the world.
People who smell the fragrance feel refreshed, and the toxins deposited in the body seem to be purified.
"Is it true that Dan Qi turns into lotus? I have lived for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene in person." The white-haired invigilator said excitedly.
However, just as everyone was immersed in shock, Ning Xuan's body shook slightly, her vision went dark, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably. In order to refine this furnace of pills, she had used up the last of her energy and now just wanted to rest.
Ning Xuan put the refined Golden Lotus Anti-Poison Pill into a glass bottle and placed it in the space button she was carrying.
These three hours were just practice before the exam. Most people just got familiar with the alchemy furnace. But Ning Xuan, in order to obtain those very precious and rare medicinal herbs that were hard to buy on the market, would rather use up all her physical strength to refine those furnaces of pills.
Ning Xuan thought that she could not take part in the assessment of the Grand Master of Alchemy, but she still had to take these herbs away.
Seeing that Ning Xuan was exhausted after refining the last batch of pills, the assessment team of the alchemy master unanimously postponed the time of the official competition for an hour.
Ning Xuan, Fu Rong and others formally participated in the assessment of the Grand Master of Alchemy. This time, wherever Ning Xuan went, she received warm and flattering looks. Only Master Lan Shui Yu Lan still made a few sarcastic remarks.
The formal assessment consists of three steps: the first step is to select the elixir formula by drawing lots, the second step is to refine the elixir, and the third step is to announce the results.
Although there will be many details, this is the overall process.
In the assessment of the Grand Master of Alchemy, there is no doubt that Ning Xuan successfully completed the production of pills according to the requirements and became a Grand Master of Alchemy.
Fu Rong was lucky this time. She successfully refined the elixir and was promoted to a master of alchemy.
Among the nearly 20 alchemy masters who took the assessment, Ning Xuan and Fu Rong both successfully passed the assessment. In addition, three others passed the assessment and were awarded the medal of the Grand Master of Alchemy.
When Ning Xuan was about to leave, Fu Rong stammered and told Ning Xuan that she wanted to use money or other things to exchange for a Nine-Turn Holy Healing Pill.
