Hearing this, Xu Chen took the jade slip from his eyebrows and nodded slightly: "Okay! But this is my first time coming into contact with the Seven Gods Pill. I still need to study the recipe carefully, and I also need the help of Yuqing Palace to prepare the materials."
At this time, a short and thin old man with silver beard sitting in the center of the hall door said: "Don't worry, little friend Xu, since it is a competition, we will naturally provide the alchemy materials. We will prepare three elixirs for you two each.
Until the refining is successful first."
Xu Chen thought for a while and asked: "If I succeed in the first batch, can the remaining elixir be mine?"
There was a burst of laughter all around, and the rows of old Taoist priests who were invigilating the examination all had their faces twitching. The short and thin old Taoist suppressed the ridicule and nodded: "If Xu Xiaoyou can really succeed once, the rest of the medicinal materials will naturally belong to you. This is also
The rules of our Yuqing Palace."
Xu Chen suddenly smiled from ear to ear, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you in advance, senior. These seven divine elixirs are extremely effective. The elixirs are complex and rare. Only the Yuqing Palace can collect so many."
Next to him, Yun Xi gently poked his back with his hand and said softly: "Don't break the cowhide. The success rate of these seven divine pills in our Yuqing Palace, except for the second elder, is also the same as that of other top pill masters."
It’s barely 50%, and 30% is considered very impressive.”
Xu Chen nodded and said: "I know, I just want to say something ugly first, lest it be inappropriate to ask for it later if it is really successful."
Lan You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't speak.
Although she was not convinced that Xu Chen could successfully refine the Seven God Pills in one furnace, she had unreserved trust that Xu Chen would never lose.
The number of alchemists in the entire Yuqing Palace who can successfully refine the second-grade top elixir such as the Seven God Pills is limited to the number of hands, and most of them are old men sitting in the row in front of the hall. They have been immersed in the field of alchemy for many years.
Ten to hundreds of years.
Although Han Qing is a core disciple of the Alchemy Hall, a late-stage cultivator in the True Yuan realm, and a top-notch alchemy master among the four generations, there is absolutely no guarantee that he can successfully refine the Seven God Pills.
This is not just a technical issue. Refining all elixirs related to soul power actually involves a bit of luck, because soul power is too elusive, especially for monks in the stage of refining and transforming into gas, which is close to darkness.
In the field of medicine, it all relies on simple imitation according to the prescription.
But Xu Chen is different. Lan You has been with him for a long time, and has helped him refine many elixirs that incorporate white energy. She knows that Xu Chen's control of the spiritual fire and the refining of elixirs are not entirely in accordance with elixirs.
It's not exactly refined, but has a somewhat casual flavor.
And it is this style that will be more effective against unfamiliar elixirs and elusive soul power elixirs.
Cultivation of immortals, absolutely reject rigidity at all times. A monk who only practices according to the secrets of the exercises will definitely not have high growth potential. Only by constantly exploring, comprehending, developing and incorporating your own insights into practice according to your own situation can you finally set foot on your own path.
The unique road to longevity.
The foundation of understanding is innovation, adapting to local conditions, people's conditions, and the times, and never stick to the rules. Just like the growth of all things, any two grasses will never grow exactly the same, and any two leaves will never grow exactly the same.
Similar, but definitely still different.
And this difference is the change brought about by the natural rules of heaven. It is the same but different, and it is extremely mysterious.
Ling Shuang and other five female cultivators stood nearby with strange expressions on their faces. They felt ridiculous about Xu Chen's almost ignorant suggestion, but at the same time they had a vague sense of expectation.
They also wanted to see how crazy the people in the Danyuan would be if Xu Chen really succeeded in refining it.
The Dan Hall is not only the core and foundation of the Yuqing Hall, but it is also the place that all other inner and outer disciples hate and love.
Every time I come to ask for elixirs, no matter what my status is, I always feel like I am being given alms and discriminated against. Even if an elder in the Danyuan Realm wants a certain elixir, he still has to look at the mood and expression of the second elder.
Although everyone belongs to the same sect, in fact, they are not very harmonious with each other.
Yesterday, the second senior brother was slapped in the face, and a group of elders looked unhappy. If Dantang were slapped in the face again today, everyone would be evenly matched. If they look bad together, they really look bad. There will be no need to ridicule and joke with each other in the future.
Therefore, unknowingly, the buttocks of the four female cultivators began to sit slowly and crookedly.
Under the arrangements of several Alchemy Hall elders, a large amount of elixirs were quickly delivered, and they were piled densely on the stone table in front of Xu Chen and Han Qing.
Han Qing sat down cross-legged with a relaxed look on his face. He hung all the elixirs in the air with a roll of vitality. He quickly sorted all the elixirs according to the elixir recipe. Dozens of elixirs were divided into three groups, and then he held them together.
After putting two groups of them into storage bags, he carefully inspected the remaining group again, and finally separated them and placed them neatly on the stone table.
The hundreds of Yuqing Temple disciples and a group of old Taoist priests sitting at the entrance of the hall were also very satisfied. They kept smiling and nodding and exchanging a few words with each other.
Han Qing's method strictly followed the steps of alchemy and was meticulous. Just in sorting out the medicinal materials, no flaws could be found at all.
Xu Chen, on the other hand, moves much slower. Faced with so many elixirs and such complicated elixirs, he is still holding the jade slip between his eyebrows with black lines on his face, while looking at the elixirs in the elixirs.
While searching for comparison among a large number of medicinal materials, I found the same medicine and put it aside. Then I clumsily looked at the prescription of the medicine and rummaged through it slowly.
Seeing Xu Chen's clumsy, slow and funny look, the onlookers burst into jeers from time to time, and even occasionally burst into laughter when they saw Xu Chen misidentified the elixir and put it in the wrong place.
A group of old Taoist priests who were invigilating the examination all had twitching faces and uncontrollable smiles.
Yun Xi, Ling Shuang and other female cultivators stood by and watched with depressed and helpless faces.
It seems that he was hasty and misjudged Xu Chen's alchemy level and had too high expectations.
According to the current situation, Xu Chen can't even say he is winning. Whether he can successfully refine a pot of pills in the end is completely questionable.
Judging from his appearance, he didn't even know most of the elixirs.
Xu Chen was also very depressed at this time.
This seven-god elixir is ranked at the top of the second-grade elixir. It is indeed not the simplest second-grade elixir like the ordinary Qi Gathering Pill he refined in Taiyuan Sect. The number of elixirs used has more than doubled, and it is a mess.
There are more than forty species in total.
And I don’t know whether it was intentional or it was the case, but these elixirs were all placed on the stone table. There were also many very small spiritual insects and crystals inside. They were as messy as mud lumps mixed together. He still needed the same thing.
Carefully identify and place them in categories, so that you won't panic when refining.
Soon, Han Qing had sorted out all the elixirs and began to study the elixirs carefully.
But Xu Chen had only sorted out half of the medicinal materials, and they were all in a mess, seemingly without any order.
As a result, all the onlookers and a group of old Taoist priests who were supervising the competition became more relaxed, and the voices of chatting and laughing became louder and louder.
At this time, various kinds of escaping lights were coming from all directions. They were all people who heard that Xu Chen had made a bet with Han Qing in the Alchemy Academy to make alchemy, so they came over to watch the fun. Among them were some of the people who had a conflict with Xu Chen in the Shanmen Hall yesterday.
and core disciples.
What surprised everyone was that second senior brother Yi Zhen, who was somewhat disgraced after being defeated yesterday, was also among them, along with a large group of people who were very impressive.
After Yizhen and others fell down, a large number of inner and outer disciples who were watching around them quickly got out of the way, and each of them cautiously raised their hands and saluted to say hello.
Yizhen's expression was indifferent, he just cast his eyes on Xu Chen and Han Qing, and then said loudly: "Han Qing, if you win this game for Yuqing Palace, I will give you a piece of Red Cloud Sands."
"Wow~" There was a violent commotion all around.
A group of elders who were invigilating the examination were all surprised and changed their expressions.
And Han Qing, who was really watching the recipe carefully, also trembled and opened his eyes with surprise on his face and said, "Are you true to your word?"
Yizhen snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a fist-sized stone emitting golden and red aura fell on an empty stone table in the field.
"Wow, it is indeed the Red Cloud Sands. This is an excellent material for refining alchemy furnaces and fire magic weapons."
Suddenly there was an exclamation among the onlookers, countless people held their fingers in their mouths and began to drool, and some young female disciples even looked at Yizhen with spring-like eyes.
Red Cloud Sands, a top-grade third-level spiritual material, is produced deep in the fiery underground with extremely harsh environment. Any alchemy furnace or fire-based magic weapon only needs to be mixed with some. Not only can it increase the chance of success in refining, but it can also greatly
Improve the quality of magic weapons, especially for alchemy furnaces. The alchemy furnace mixed with red cloud gold sand can control spiritual fire more easily and freely, which can greatly save spiritual stones and vitality.
Such a large piece is enough to build a high-quality third-grade alchemy furnace.
Han Qing took a few deep breaths to control his excitement, slightly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yizhen, I will do my best."
At this time, Xu Chen also looked up from a large pile of suspended elixirs. Looking at the red cloud gold sand, he felt that his mouth was full of saliva, so he smiled slightly at Yi Zhen and said: "Brother Yi, you are fine.
Does this count as an additional bet for the competition? If I win, can I also take it away?"
The corner of Yizhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted with a dark face: "If Fellow Daoist Xu can win, it's okay to take it away?"
Xu Chen immediately nodded with surprise on his face: "If you say it without regrets, I will take it seriously!"
Yizhen wanted to agree immediately, but a young man wearing a black Taoist robe next to him curled his lips and said, "Senior Brother Yizhen, wait a minute. Since Fellow Daoist Xu wants this spiritual material, he must also make an equal bet, otherwise there is no fairness."
Yizhen understood as soon as his thoughts changed, so he nodded and said: "Yes, since it is a gambling battle, it must be fair. If you can come up with something we are satisfied with, you can naturally take it if you win."
