Chapter 37 037 I haven’t even entered the Yunmiao Sect yet, I’m calling you Brother…
What is genius?
Even if they traveled from the modern era, they could still quickly get used to writing with a brush, and write beautifully and clearly.
It only took him a few days to raid the books on herbal refining and Yunmiao Sect's past exam questions and memorize them completely.
Lu Qingqing looked at the questions on the test paper and already had some ideas on how to solve them.
Not only her, the other four people also looked confident.
Yes, there are only five people who entered the written examination of Yunmiao Sect this time, and Lu Qingqing is the only female cultivator among them.
After all, spiritual roots are not as common as radishes and greens in the tea market. It is said that this year has the largest number of people taking the written test in the history of Yunmiao Sect's recruitment conference.
The huge Qinglong Hall was sparsely populated with five desks, and the distance between each candidate was as wide as the Mariana Trench.
This exam was supervised by Ji Haozhi, the eldest disciple of the Yunmiao Sect's leader, and no one dared to have any bad intentions.
It also allowed her to see a living powerful being who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, and he indeed looked like an immortal.
Then he calmed down and began to concentrate on answering the questions.
The first few questions are about the configuration of the elixir formula, and you need to memorize the various proportions.
This was not a difficult task for Lu Qingqing. She quickly remembered them and answered them one by one.
The last question is an essay question, asking candidates about their views on cultivating immortals and refining medicine.
This is a very general question with no standard answer, which makes it even more difficult.
Lu Qingqing let his imagination run wild and wrote a long article based on his own understanding.
When she finished writing the last sentence and picked up the pen, she found that Master Ji was standing next to her, looking at her test paper with great interest.
Lu Qingqing was a little surprised, and worried that the answer would not satisfy this powerful person.
Fortunately, the other person stroked his beard and smiled in his eyes, which dispelled her worries.
Lu Qingqing let the ink on the paper dry, and the exam time was almost over.
At this time, a young man in blue came in from outside and began to collect the answer sheets.
When he walked up to Lu Qingqing, he winked at her and gave her a mischievous smile.
The man has fair skin and two dimples when he smiles, which makes him look quite cute.
Only then did Lu Qingqing see clearly that the tall and handsome man in green was the dozing guard on the top of Donghu Mountain!
He is actually a disciple of Yunmiao Sect.
In this way, the Yunmiao Sect has been guarding the transmission formation of the Dawn Continent for the past hundred years.
It was not convenient to greet him at this important examination venue, so Lu Qingqing could only smile and nod in greeting.
A clear and pleasant voice floated into my mind, "My name is Ji Weilan, you can call me Senior Brother. See you tomorrow."
He is indeed a disciple of a big sect, and he is proficient in all kinds of telepathic magic.
...No, why is this guy so familiar? She hasn't even entered the Yunmiao Sect yet, is it appropriate to call him Senior Brother?
Lu Qingqing became curious and looked at him inquiringly.
——How do you know that I can participate in tomorrow’s alchemy session? The papers haven’t been graded yet.
The man in green was very smart. He understood immediately and gave her a look in return.
——I trust my intuition.
“Ahem!”
Ji Haozhi stood at the door, made a rather deliberate sound, and glared at Ji Weilan without leaving a trace.
The latter stuck out his tongue, quickly took the test paper and left in a hurry.
Lu Qingqing suddenly realized a problem.
Both of them had the surname Ji, and the gossip books also recorded that the leader of the Yunmiao Sect had two disciples who were in love, and one of them even had a child.
It seems that this handsome and lively young man is Master Ji's son.
…
Ji Weilan's intuition is very accurate.
Half an hour later, Lu Qingqing, who was waiting in the Qinglong Hall, received the news that she had passed.
Among the five people, three entered the alchemy assessment.
Ji Haozhi announced the results personally, and informed everyone that the third round of assessment would be held here at 3:30 am tomorrow, and then he left gracefully.
The eliminated monks were very depressed, and the shortlisted ones did not dare to relax.
Everyone knows that the Yunmiao Sect's alchemy practice is extremely difficult. Not only are the questions tricky, but the assessment standards are also almost harsh.
Lu Qingqing flew back to the inn on her sword, set up the barrier, and then entered the space.
We must hurry up and practice a few more rounds.
…
The familiar Qinglong Hall, the familiar desk.
However, the things on the desk have been replaced with materials needed for alchemy.
The Yunmiao Sect is worthy of being a major sect in the Taiji Continent. Even the alchemy furnace used by the candidates can be called a magic weapon, which is much better than those sold in the alchemy shops in Liangyi City.
Lu Qingqing felt a little relieved.
——Practicing repeatedly with an ordinary alchemy furnace and then using the good alchemy furnace provided by Yunmiao Sect should make it much easier.
There were seven or eight kinds of herbs on the table. After a quick inspection, Lu Qingqing recognized most of them and basically understood their medicinal properties.
At least there is no problem in using it to cram for exams.
The three monks stood in front of the desk, quietly waiting for the powerful invigilator to enter.
But unexpectedly, two young men came in.
One of them was the handsome young man Ji Weilan who greeted Lu Qingqing yesterday, and the other one was wearing a blue robe, with his hair in a bun and a wooden hairpin. His cultivation level was the same as Ji Weilan's, both were in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
This person is tall but has a very ordinary appearance, but he has a dignified and dignified temperament, which makes him quite eye-catching.
It seems that he is either Ji Haozhi's apprentice or Qian Peng's apprentice.
While she was secretly speculating, the man in blue, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up and caught Lu Qingqing's gaze.
Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, revealing indifference, coldness, inviolability, and a subtle silence.
“…” Why do I get seen by the other party every time?
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but complain inwardly, and why did this person give him a sense of déjà vu, even though he had never seen him before.
The world in this book is really strange.
"Now I will announce the precautions for alchemy."
When Ji Weilan's voice sounded, Lu Qingqing also raised her eyes and listened carefully.
The young man in blue stood next to Ji Weilan, looking down and speechless.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused, Ji Weilan looked serious.
"Three fellow Daoists, please follow the recipe we've given you and refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill within two hours. Those who exceed the time limit will be eliminated; those who fail to refine it will be eliminated; and those whose product is of inferior quality will be eliminated."
After a pause, he continued, "During the pill refining process, no talking or chatting is allowed. You must complete it alone. If you violate this rule, you will be disqualified."
The rules were simple and clear, and the candidates all expressed no objections.
The man in green distributed the pill recipe to the three people.
When passing by Lu Qingqing, she seemed to smell a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.
Before my hazy thoughts could unfold, my inner voice gave me a warning: It’s exam time now, and I’m not allowed to have any random thoughts.
Lu Qingqing picked up the pill recipe. The proportions were quite complicated, but fortunately she had practiced the more complicated Ice Muscle Jade Bone Pill.
Speaking of it, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is a relatively useless elixir. The refining method is complicated and the failure rate is extremely high, but its effect is only to improve the physical fitness of the cultivator. Generally, medicine cultivators rarely refine it.
But the Yunmiao Sect is not an ordinary medicine-cultivating sect. Regardless of whether they are useless or not, all the elixir recipes in the world need to be studied and researched by their disciples.
After reading the recipe, Ji Weilan turned the hourglass upside down and announced the start of the countdown.
The countless times of practice in the past few days were useful. Lu Qingqing skillfully used her true energy to light the fire in the furnace, put the herbs in one by one according to the recipe, and used her spiritual power to control the temperature and began to refine.
It must be said that the furnace provided by the Yunmiao Sect was really good. It complemented her true energy, suppressing several strong medicinal herbs and achieving a rare harmony with the mild herbs.
The difficulty in refining the marrow cleansing pill lies in the fact that one has to constantly input spiritual energy, and it also requires extreme concentration and patience. Once one loses focus, there is a risk of the furnace exploding.
Just after half an hour, the furnace of the Taoist friend in front of Lu Qingqing began to boil and tremble, and the lid almost jumped out. The situation was very critical.
This chaos made the middle-aged male cultivator even more nervous. In his panic, his spiritual power fluctuated, affecting the temperature of the fire. The strong medicinal herbs could not be suppressed at all and rushed straight to the furnace cover.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the alchemy furnace flew out and the medicinal materials inside were scattered all over the ground.
Ji Weilan said expressionlessly: "Zhang Guyan, unqualified."
Only Lu Qingqing and another young male cultivator were left in the examination room.
Neither of them seemed to be affected by the furnace explosion of the fellow examinee. They remained calm and controlled their own furnaces in an orderly manner.
Time passed like the wind, and only less than one-fifth of the sand remained in the hourglass.
Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Qingqing's forehead, but she did not dare to be careless and continued to use her spiritual power to control the temperature.
The prototype of the elixir can be seen in the furnace. As long as it can survive the last moment, it will take shape.
With her talent and the intensive training over the past few days, this marrow cleansing pill would at least be of medium to high quality.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing suddenly smelled a burnt smell.
Following the smell, they found that something had gone wrong with another cultivator's furnace. Tongues of flame stretched out from the hollow gaps and burned the herbs on the table, starting them up!
The male cultivator surnamed He looked anxious, but since it was related to the final stage of alchemy, he did not dare to spare any energy to put out the fire. He could only watch helplessly as the flames engulfed the herbs and he could do nothing.
Looking at the two invigilators, they pretended not to see anything and their expressions remained calm as always.
But Lu Qingqing couldn't just sit there and watch.
If the fire gets bigger, not only will the male cultivator suffer, but she will also be affected, and she will definitely not be able to successfully refine the marrow cleansing pill.
In a flash, she freed one hand, pinched her fingers and chanted a spell, summoned the spiritual spring, and threw it towards the fire.
The clear spring water sprinkled down, and the fire on the desk suddenly became smaller, and then it was completely extinguished by the rain and dew.
The male cultivator almost cried and showed an expression of great gratitude.
But Lu Qingqing's fire was no longer obedient because it lacked the control of spiritual power, and even showed signs of running wild!
