The two of them marched along the wide cave passage for half an hour. There were also criss-crossing cave passages in front of them. There were still stone chambers on both sides of the cave passage. The layout here was no different from the original weapon refining chamber. It seemed that it was from
Hands of the same person.
He walked along a cave passage and walked deep into the cave, stopping in a hall.
In the hall here, there are also more than 20 monks sitting cross-legged around. On the wooden chairs in the middle, there are seven Chengdan monks sitting upright.
The old man entered the hall and did not hesitate. Instead, he walked directly in front of the seven Chengdan old men. After bending down and saluting, he said respectfully:
"Reporting to all deacons, fellow Taoist Qin Fengming is here to participate in the skill competition in our alchemy hall and has been brought here."
Following the old man's words, the seven Chengdan old men who had closed their eyes opened their eyes at the same time. One of them even showed a bit of joy on his face and looked up towards where Qin Fengming was standing.
As soon as Qin Fengming entered this hall, he saw these seven Chengdan old men. These seven people were also the several Chengdan monks who had appeared during the bone age test.
Seeing that the old man had already introduced himself, Qin Fengming also walked a few steps quickly, came to the front of the seven people, bowed respectfully, then stood respectfully beside the old man, and said in a very polite manner:
"Junior Qin Fengming, the alchemy skills competition was delayed due to other matters. I hope the seniors will give this junior a chance."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I will arrange for my little brother to test each item one by one. Please bring the jade plaque and conduct the flame control test first."
When the old man Cheng Dan in front of him finished speaking, Qin Fengming had already handed over the jade token in his hand.
The old man took the jade token and used his spiritual power. In an instant, his expression changed slightly, and he asked with surprise: "What? My little brother has already participated in the competition in the Weapon Refining Hall?"
When everyone else heard the old man's words, they also looked shocked. Although they did not participate in the skill competition in the weapon refining hall when they entered, they also knew that even the master who had been refining weapons for hundreds of years wanted to use the weapon refining hall.
It will take at least thirteen or fourteen days for the competition to be completed.
But the seemingly extremely young monk in front of him actually completed the competition in less than ten days, which really surprised everyone present.
"Back to senior, I have already completed the weapon refining hall competition the day before yesterday, so I came to your place. I also want to take part in the alchemy competition to see if I can pass. Senior, please do it."
Looking at the calm young Foundation-Building monk in front of them, the more than 20 monks on the scene were all shocked. A monk, since he participated in the weapon refining skills competition, is here to participate in the alchemy competition. Here.
In the tens of thousands of years in Manghuang Mountain, it has only happened two or three times.
"Okay, little brother Qin, since you want to participate in the alchemy skill competition again, you can do this. However, you don't need to test the flame control again. Since you have completed the weapon refining competition, there is no problem in flame control.
Now please follow me and go directly to the alchemy room."
The old man who said that, Qin Fengming, said in a deep voice. At this time, he was also very doubtful in his heart. Could it be that the monk in front of him, who was only fifty or sixty years old, could master both skills?
What you have achieved is not achieved.
After he waved his hand to assign the old foundation-building man who had brought Qin Fengming here to leave, he took Qin Fengming straight towards Alchemy Room No. 1.
Entering the alchemy room, the interior layout is almost the same as that of the weapon refining room. "There are eleven kinds of spiritual herbs here. The second test is to test your eyesight. As long as you can identify eight kinds of spiritual herbs in front of you, you will be considered qualified. The little brother stepped forward.
Let’s identify it.”
Following the gesture of the old man Cheng Dan, Qin Fengming saw eleven spiritual grasses in full bloom in the jade box, placed next to the fire-bringing beast. So he did not reply and hurried forward to the jade box.
, picked them up one by one and began to identify them.
These spiritual herbs, judging from their medicinal fragrance and the state they display, are all between hundreds of years old, but they are the materials for refining elixirs for foundation-building monks to improve their cultivation.
With little effort, Qin Fengming had already completely identified the eleven spiritual grasses on the ground.
"Reporting back to senior, these spiritual herbs are: passion fruit, green lotus grass, chrysanthemum branch, cattail grass..." Qin Fengming did not stop at all, pointing to the eleven spiritual grasses on the ground, calling out their respective names one by one.
name.
Seeing the young monk in front of him telling the rare spiritual herbs that rarely appeared in the market so quickly, the old man Cheng Dan next to him also showed a hint of surprise. It turns out that this young man is not here to try his luck.
It does have some confidence.
"Well, yes, what the little brother said is indeed accurate. Okay, the second level has been passed. Next is the time to refine the elixir. This is the elixir recipe, which contains the proportions of various herbs. These
The medicinal herbs are enough for three refinings. I hope my little brother can complete the refining within twenty days."
With a wave of his hand, the old man Cheng Dan handed a jade slip and a jade tablet into Qin Fengming's hand, then turned around and left the alchemy room without stopping for a moment.
After the old man left the alchemy room, Qin Fengming held the jade tablet and opened the ban on the alchemy room, and then carefully looked at the jade slip in his hand.
In this jade slip, there is a refined elixir called 'Yihe Dan', which corresponds to the proportions of various spiritual herbs and is introduced in great detail.
Qin Fengming had seen the name of Yihe Dan in ancient books before, but he had never seen the specific formula. Although this medicine formula was of no use to him at this time, it still made him feel happy.
Qin Fengming sat in the alchemy room for two hours. He studied the elixir prescription carefully several times and made sure that there were no mistakes before he started refining and purifying the spiritual grass.
Although Qin Fengming did not refine elixirs personally many times, his study of the classics and experience were unparalleled. With his pure flame control, he was able to refine and purify all kinds of spiritual herbs without any mistakes.
Fan.
Looking at the more than 30 jade vases placed in front of him, Qin Fengming felt nothing in his heart.
After taking a short rest, he officially started refining Yihe Dan.
According to what Danfang said, he would put the refined eleven kinds of spiritual grass essences into the alchemy furnace one by one according to their order and time, and then drive the fire in the center of the earth to fuse and calcine the essences of these spiritual grasses.
As time slowly passed, the pure medicinal fragrance slowly floated out from the alchemy furnace, and the entire alchemy room was enveloped by a refreshing aroma.
Just when Qin Fengming was happy and thought that the refining could be completed without difficulty, a dull "crackling" sound suddenly came from the alchemy furnace.
Upon hearing this sound, Qin Fengming, who was controlling the flames to calcine the alchemy furnace, was immediately shocked. This sound was not from outside, it was undoubtedly the sound made when the elixir was about to be scrapped.
"Bang~~"
Just when Qin Fengming was shocked, with a dull banging sound in the alchemy furnace, the furnace lid suddenly flew up and fell several feet away.
