Most of the cultivators were eliminated in the second round of assessment. Such an elimination rate made the cultivators who were lucky in their luck even more disappointed. Speculation is not good. Those who can be selected are all really capable.
The third level is to refine the elixir specified by the Alchemy Hall. As soon as the name of the elixir was announced, many cultivators wanted to quit because they had to refine a high-level human-level elixir.
A group of contestants, including Xu Chen, walked into the alchemy room confidently after receiving the immortal grass and started to refine the elixir. Some people hesitated and made the same move. They couldn't refine it before, maybe they could succeed this time with good luck? Moreover, for some casual cultivators, the Alchemy Hall also provided the complete recipe of the elixir. Even if they failed and were not selected, they would not lose money on this trip.
Young Master Zhang and Young Master Shi were also watching the assessment in the crowd. At the same time, the list of candidates who entered the third round of assessment was also sent to the patriarchs of the four major families. They believed that with such a good opportunity to get close to Master Rui, would the immortal alchemist who destroyed the gladiatorial arena be willing to give up? In their opinion, the immortal alchemist they were looking for might be among them.
Although Master Rui's actions broke their plan, it also provided them with clues to find their target. The third round of assessment can best show the level of alchemy of an immortal alchemist.
There were only 16 contestants left in this round of assessment, of which only five were casual cultivators like Xu Chen, including him, and the rest were from various families and alchemy halls.
Gu Yao has confidence in Xu Chen, but not in the remaining four. In Donglin City, it is not easy to get the elixir formula and complete alchemy skills. In addition to the alchemy jade slips obtained from the Shuiyue fragments, he and Xu Chen can have the current achievements thanks to the star thief He Qiang.
The first one to produce an elixir was the elixir master from the Dan Hall. When he walked out of the alchemy room, he found that he was the first one, and the smugness on his face was revealed. Gu Yao and Chi Changye also learned about this person's identity from other people's discussions. He is the son of the Dan Hall master, and his alchemy skills are among the best in the Dan Hall. Everyone in the Dan Hall has high hopes for him.
As soon as he came out, someone started shouting excitedly. The head of the Dan Hall, who was sitting in the main seat, stroked his beard and straightened his back when talking to others. He showed pride on his face. When he heard the compliments from others, he waved his hands and said modestly: "No, no, I still need to work harder. If I can get some guidance from Master Miao, it will be a blessing for this kid."
In his and others' opinion, this Dan Master must have won one of the places.
There was also the sound of a furnace blasting in the Dan room. Gu Yao didn't expect that this alchemy was not done in public, and the materials used in the Dan room were special, so it was difficult for his consciousness to penetrate. Even he extracted a very thin thread of his consciousness and probed into each Dan room like a thief, not wanting to miss the opportunity to understand the level of these immortal Dan masters' alchemy skills.
Who knows Xu Chen's level better than him? So as soon as he saw Xu Chen's movements, he knew that he deliberately slowed down, otherwise how could the previous guy be the first to succeed in making a pill? Moreover, the first to make a pill does not necessarily mean the best quality of the pill.
Suddenly, he felt that a stronger consciousness than his was sweeping towards the direction where he was hiding. Gu Yao quickly retreated, but there was no abnormality on his face. In his heart, he was guessing who the owner of the consciousness was. Was it Master He, or City Lord Qiao? Or someone from the four major families?
Master He looked towards the alchemy room with a strange look in his eyes. City Lord Qiao asked, "What did you find?"
Master Rui smiled and said, "There was an unfamiliar spiritual consciousness that slipped away quickly. I wanted to test it, but it ran away."
City Lord Qiao asked again, "In your opinion, Brother Rui, are the two immortal alchemists among them?"
Master Rui said cautiously, "It's hard to say. If there is anyone who meets the requirements, it's only the one in blue shirt."
Although the hall master's son seemed to have good alchemy skills, Master Rui was not very impressed after watching his performance. There are many people with such qualifications in Piaoxue Fairy Palace, and he needs someone who is outstanding.
After the first person produced the pill, others succeeded in refining it, and some failed three times in a row and came out covered in dust. Xu Chen chose the middle position. At this time, people did not pay as much attention to him as the first person who succeeded. This was exactly what Xu Chen needed.
All the pills were sent to the two monks who presided over the assessment. When they saw the pills refined by Xu Chen, they were slightly surprised because they received a message from Master Rui Dan, saying that this alchemist should be kept. This was the first person that Master Rui Dan took the initiative to keep. Looking at this pill, it was only of medium quality. It seemed to be a very good result in Donglin City, but it was just so-so in Piaoxue Fairy Palace.
When the third round of assessments was over, less than half of the candidates had succeeded in making pills. The last two presiding monks announced the selected alchemists: Zhou Donglin, the son of the hall master, Li Hongye, the daughter of the Li family, Feng Rumei, a free cultivator, and Chen Xu, a free cultivator.
When the names of the selected alchemists were announced, the monks present were all shocked. This result was half expected and half unexpected. They had never expected that two free cultivators would be selected. This made the alchemists in the alchemy hall and the children of the aristocratic families look at Feng Rumei and Chen Xu with red eyes of jealousy.
But for many casual cultivators, it is a happy thing. The casual cultivators are not only the ascended cultivators, but also the immortal world has a lot of casual cultivators. In the past, the alchemy hall was controlled by the four major families and other major forces. Even if they recruited a boy to refine pills, most casual cultivators could not squeeze in. If they wanted to get in, they had to find a way to get in with a lot of immortal stones, and maybe they would have a chance.
Look at how grand Master Rui Dan is doing now. What unspoken rules are useless in the face of absolute strength.
When Zhou Donglin heard his name was called out first, he looked as if it was a matter of course. If he was not selected, no one in Donglin City could be selected. As for the fact that there was an immortal alchemist mixed in the arena, he thought it was a trick.
He was not surprised that Li Hongye from the Li family was among them. Although Li Hongye did not join the Dan Hall, Zhou Donglin had heard of her alchemy skills a long time ago. Moreover, she often came to the Dan Hall to exchange ideas with them and was recognized by Zhou Donglin.
As for the remaining two names, he had never heard of them. Where did they come from? He cast a suspicious look at the remaining two candidates, his eyes full of doubt. Why did these two guys stand with him? When he heard others talking about these two being casual cultivators, Zhou Donglin's eyes rose with anger. If it was not for Master Rui Dan presiding over this assessment, he would have overturned the table on the spot. He was ashamed to stand with these casual cultivators.
Li Hongye just looked at Feng Rumei and Chen Xu expressionlessly, and then looked away, as if who won had nothing to do with her.
Feng Rumei was extremely surprised. She was an alchemist trained by the Ascending Monk Camp. She had tried to join the Alchemy Hall several times before, but was always rejected. This time she just came to try, but she didn't expect to be selected. If she could get some advice from Master Rui Dan, she would be so happy that she would faint.
People who know her know how much effort she has put in for this, but because of the four major families, she is usually unknown and tries to minimize her presence. This time she is trying her best.
She was surprised and looked at her colleague Chen Xu, thinking that Chen Xu would be as excited as she was, but he looked bored and didn't take the selection too seriously, which surprised Feng Rumei.
"I don't accept it!" Someone jumped out, wearing the clothes of a Dantang alchemist, "That alchemist Feng, it's clear that the third furnace only barely produced a low-grade pill. My pills are better than hers, and they were successful in the second furnace. Why didn't I get selected but she was?"
The presiding alchemist said coldly, "Don't you know the reason? Did you make the pills you handed in yourself? If you falsify them and put them in Piaoxue Fairy Palace, they will be thrown out at any moment!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at the protester. He was pale and his eyes were dodging. The crowd suddenly exploded. Looking at his appearance, they knew that what they said was true. He actually used ready-made elixirs to fool Master Rui. Such an elixir master came from the Dan Hall. If the Dan Hall had any dignity, it should kick him out.
Didn't they hear that if he was put in the Piaoxue Fairy Palace, he would be thrown out in a minute.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "He should be thrown out!"
The senior executive of the Dan Hall sitting in the main seat also blushed, staring at the guy who jumped out with hatred. However, this guy was the son of the deputy hall master and a member of the Zheng family of the four major families. Now it was interesting. Didn't the Dan Hall have the courage to kick this guy out?
Seeing these senior executives blushing, and not saying that they would kick this person out of the Alchemy Hall, the two alchemists who presided over the assessment flashed disdain in their eyes, and announced that the assessment was over, and the four candidates would move into the guest house with him.
The matter of replacing the pills was discovered by Master Rui Dan, and he was also very surprised. City Lord Qiao was a little embarrassed. He knew that there were a lot of messes in the Alchemy Hall, but he dared to do such a thing under Master Rui Dan's nose. As a city lord, he also felt a little embarrassed.
Xu Chen glanced in the direction of Gu Yao and Chi Changye, and then left with Feng Rumei and the others.
Living in the guest house where Master Rui Dan was, Gu Yao and Chi Changye thought it was good. Even if their identities were exposed, would the four major families dare to rush into Master Rui Dan's guest house to arrest people?
On the way back, Gu Yao said: "In fact, if we have the opportunity to go to Piaoxue Fairy Palace, it is also a way out. When we get to Piaoxue Fairy Palace, it will be much easier to find out about the situation in the fairy world than here. Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the master and the master faster."
If he were alone, he might consider this option, but now he doesn't want to be separated from Chi Changye.
Chi Changye nodded and said: "I think this guy might have this idea. He doesn't say it, but he is very worried about the master in his heart. The situation in Donglin City is so complicated, and the master's side is probably even worse."
A place like the Demon Realm will only become more chaotic. Fortunately, the master is not a good person who will be bullied, and he will be able to kill him sooner or later.
On the way, they received a message from Leng Su. Sure enough, Feng Rumei was theirs.
