No wonder the old man was suspicious, but in fact it looked abnormal.
In the alchemy talisman formation, every skill is extremely difficult to master. There is no trick to do it. It requires step-by-step attempts and hard training to reach an extremely advanced level.
For example, alchemy,
Without hundreds of years, it would be difficult to become an eighth-level alchemist.
That's for sure.
For example, the old man himself has good strength and extraordinary talent, but he became an eighth-level alchemist at the age of more than 500 years old. This is already an extremely outstanding achievement in the fairy world.
There are very few alchemists who are more outstanding than this old man.
"Yes, I'm here to test the eighth-level alchemist."
Hong Ming answered calmly, not being humble or arrogant even when facing this monk in the transformation stage.
The old man looked at Hong Ming. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't say much.
What if he is really a genius?
"The assessment of the eighth-grade alchemist is very simple. You only need to refine the eighth-grade elixir. You can collect spiritual materials by yourself, but when refining, you must be in front of me, not in the cave."
The old man spoke.
Hong Ming frowned slightly, but did not refuse.
The assessment of high-level alchemists is different from that of low-level alchemists.
Every time an eighth-level alchemist tries, the spiritual materials required are extremely valuable. If these spiritual materials are provided by Panlong City, the cost of the assessment will be very high, so high that even Panlong City is not willing to bear it.
In addition, each alchemist specializes in different elixirs, making it difficult for Panlong City to gather together the spiritual materials in a short time.
Therefore, the alchemist can only collect the elixirs himself for assessment.
But in this case, there is another problem.
For example, if Hong Ming went to a closed cave to refine elixirs, pretended that the refining was successful, and then took out the eighth-level elixir, it would be difficult, because Hong Ming collected the spiritual materials, and the elixir he wanted to refine was Hong Ming.
It's now clear.
Therefore, this alchemy process must be monitored by someone.
Once you try to determine life and death, you will naturally know how strong the alchemist is.
This is the reason why many alchemists take two or three tests before succeeding.
Hong Ming took out a blue lotus and more than forty kinds of spiritual materials, placing them in front of him one by one. The old man looked at the spiritual materials on the ground quietly, with a look of surprise in his eyes:
"What you are trying to refine must be the Water Lotus Guiyuan Pill."
The old man asked with a hint of doubt.
Hong Ming nodded:
"Tao friendly eyesight, these are the spiritual materials for refining the Water Lotus Guiyuan Pill. They are valuable. For example, my water-attribute lotus has grown for tens of thousands of years. It is enough to refine this elixir.
.Even if you take this elixir during the hole deficiency period, it will have some effects."
The old man nodded, pointed to the alchemy furnace and the ground fire switch on the ground, and said:
"Although this alchemy furnace is not very good, you can still use it. It is in the same line as the fire of the earth's veins, so it is most suitable."
"Thank you, but I have my own alchemy furnace."
Hong Ming took out his alchemy furnace.
This alchemy furnace exudes a faint five-color light.
When he was in the Yuling Sect, Hong Ming added other spiritual objects and refined the alchemy furnace. Although it was only a low-grade magic weapon, it was enough for Hong Ming for the time being.
Putting down the alchemy furnace, Hong Ming sat down cross-legged.
The old man sat in the distance and watched quietly.
But then, seeing Hong Ming's actions, the old man's eyes instantly shone with surprise.
After Hong Ming sat down, he opened his mouth and spat out, and a black and white rotating flame appeared, fell into the alchemy furnace, and burned fiercely. This flame contained other five colors of light, with red light being the most intense.
Yin Yang Spiritual Fire.
Hong Ming didn't hide anything and directly used the Yin and Yang Spiritual Fire.
On the one hand, Hong Ming is confident in his own strength, and he does not have to worry about danger when holding the Yin and Yang Spirit Fire. On the other hand, if Hong Ming wants to refine eighth-level elixirs, the Yin and Yang Spirit Fire is necessary.
In alchemy, in addition to the alchemy skills itself, the most important thing is the spiritual fire and the alchemy furnace.
Hong Ming's alchemy furnace is really average.
All along, Hong Ming's energy has been on cultivation, practicing hard day after day. In fact, there are not many days for alchemy, and he has not pursued the alchemy furnace too much. This low-grade magic weapon, the alchemy furnace, can only be regarded as acceptable. It is really better than
It's definitely not very good.
Therefore, Hong Ming can only display the eighth level spiritual fire Yin Yang Spirit Fire.
Only in this way can Hong Ming be sure to pass the assessment in one try.
The yin and yang spiritual fire burned the alchemy furnace, and the temperature of the alchemy furnace quickly increased.
Hong Ming carefully began to refine the elixir.
Refining elixirs is a technical job, one step at a time, there is no trickery. Even if Hong Ming has the extremely rare spiritual fire of Yin Yang Spirit Fire, Hong Ming still has to be careful when refining elixirs.
Hong Ming took two days to refine this batch of elixir.
Two days later, Hong Ming opened the alchemy furnace.
In the alchemy furnace, light steamed up.
Hong Ming Dan Jue pinched the pill and put it away.
"Yes, there are nine pills this time."
Hong Ming laughed. After getting the elixir, he showed a smile and threw the elixir over.
The old man took a look at the elixir and checked it carefully, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Yes, this is the eighth-level elixir Water Lotus Guiyuan Dan. This elixir is extremely powerful. For monks in the transformation stage, it can
Greatly improves mana."
Hong Ming nodded:
"The main elixir of this elixir is the lotus. It also contains lotus leaves, lotus seeds, and lotus pods. The value is hard to find. Usually, few people refine this elixir, because these items are more valuable if sold separately.
Bigger."
The old man nodded, with a look of hesitation on his face, and said:
"I dare to ask Fellow Daoist Hong, is the spiritual fire you use Yin-Yang spiritual fire?"
Hong Ming nodded, but his expression became much colder:
"Yes, it is the Yin-Yang Spiritual Fire. I got this spiritual fire by chance and after a lot of effort."
However, as he spoke, Hong Ming looked at the old man with an obvious look of caution.
The old man's face turned red and he looked slightly embarrassed, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Hong, this yin and yang spiritual fire is one of the best flames for refining elixirs. It has miraculous effects on refining pills. I wonder if you can give up half of the source of yin and yang spiritual fire to me. I am willing to pay any price, as long as you are willing."
carry."
The old man looked at Hong Ming longingly.
Hong Ming's expression turned cold instantly:
"No need. The Yin and Yang Spiritual Fire is hard-earned. I have no intention of giving it to others. Now that I have passed the examination, I don't know when I can get the eighth-level alchemist certificate. Does this Dan Pavilion still want my spiritual fire?"
The old man smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Hong has misunderstood. This Yin-Yang Spiritual Fire is just my private transaction. I can give you the certificate of this eighth-level alchemist right now. With this certificate, you can go to most places in Panlong City."
As he said that, the old man took out a chapter of transmission notes and threw it out.
After a moment, two escaping lights came over. After inspection, two monks in the transformation stage took out the eighth-level alchemy certificate.
Hong Ming took the alchemist certificate and turned around to leave.
But the old man still shouted:
"Fellow Daoist Hong, I am Emperor Chou. If you have any idea of selling, remember to come to me."
Hong Ming had a cold face and did not turn around.
It's hard to get in, but it's much easier to leave.
In fact, after Hong Ming got the eighth-level alchemist certificate, he had some permissions in the alchemy pavilion. For example, he could check some of the classics and alchemy methods in the alchemy pavilion, and accept alchemy tasks in the alchemy pavilion to get rewards.
, or send out tasks, search for spiritual materials, etc.
Although one-tenth of the value must be taken away through this Dan Pavilion, for casual cultivators, this Dan Pavilion provides a lot of convenience.
After walking around for a while, Hong Ming left directly.
Although several days had passed, He Lang was still waiting outside the door.
Seeing Hong Ming coming out, He Lang had a smile on his face:
"Brother Hong, I don't know how the assessment went, but it doesn't matter if you didn't pass. This alchemist assessment is extremely difficult. There are too many people you can pass in one assessment. Most alchemists have to pass it two or three times. In the recent period,
, I can help Brother Hong rent a cave first. Although the place is not as good as the eighth-level cave, it is not bad."
He Lang spoke.
Hong Ming shook his head and took out a jade token.
On the front of the jade card is a pill, and on the back is eight.
When He Lang saw the token, his face showed ecstasy:
"Congratulations to Brother Hong. Congratulations to Brother Hong for becoming an eighth-level alchemist. It won't be difficult to advance to the Divine Transformation Stage in the future. Even if you reach the Dongxu Stage, you are more confident than others!"
"Fellow Daoist He, please take me to rent a cave!"
Hong Ming said with a smile.
He Lang nodded and flew towards the mountains with Hong Ming.
The Dan Pavilion is located in the center of the two mountain ranges. This area is the location of the main palace of Panlong City. The underground is where the earth veins gather. The earth fire is rich, but it is not as rich as the spiritual energy, and it is definitely not as strong as near the two immortal veins.
He Lang took Hong Ming directly to an immortal vein.
"Brother Hong, this eighth-level cave is above the ninth-level spiritual veins, and there are immortal veins nearby. Each one is extremely extraordinary. It contains sufficient spiritual energy, and even a touch of fairy energy, which can be refined at any time.
It has extraordinary effects on monks in the transformation stage, and can even absorb more fairy energy from the void during cultivation."
He Lang opened his mouth to introduce.
In Panlong City, the two immortal veins are controlled by the city lord and built as a place for cultivation, and others can hardly enjoy them.
Other monks, even if they are powerful, can only occupy some of the attachments of ninth-level spiritual veins and immortal veins.
The eighth-level cave is just above the ninth-level immortal vein. It is not far from the immortal vein, so it is extremely rare.
"Fellow Daoist He, can you tell me what powerful sects and families there are in Panlong City, so as not to offend similar people?" Hong Ming explained with a smile.
He Lang chuckled when he heard this and said:
"There's no need to worry. Brother Hong doesn't know that Panlong City is the territory of the city lord Di Xin. If other sects and families want to cause trouble, they can go outside Panlong City. There is no one in Panlong City.
Anyone who dares to violate the rules set by the city lord can rest assured in this city."
"Di Xin? The city lord's name is Di Xin?"
A glint flashed in Hong Ming's eyes, and he asked nonchalantly.
He Lang nodded:
"That's right. It's very rare for the Lord of the City to take the name of Emperor. To be honest, the Lord of the City also has a family. Less than half of the imperial guards have the surname of Emperor. It's even said that the Emperor's family is the number one family in the Little Immortal World.
.”
"I see, it seems that the Di family is not someone to be messed with!"
Hong Ming said with a teasing smile.
He Lang trembled when he heard this and smiled bitterly:
"Brother Hong, don't be joking. The Di family has a big business and the rules are very strict. The city lord is very strict about it, so it's okay. But fellow Taoists, it's best not to provoke people from the Di family, because I heard other people mention it privately before,
Some people in the Emperor's family were a little ruthless because they were the city lord's kinsmen, but this matter is just speculation, there is no real evidence, and no one said anything."
"Oh, that's it."
Hong Ming quickly skipped this matter and started talking about other things in Panlong City.
He Lang said with a smile.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Hong, this place was lived by a previous alchemist. Although the formations and the like are no longer there, there is a fire of earth veins in the cave, which can barely be used to refine eighth-level elixirs. If you, fellow daoist,
If you are interested, you might as well choose this cave."
He Lang gave his introduction.
Hong Ming entered the cave, took a look, and refused directly:
"Let's change it to another one, Earth Vein Fire. It's not necessary. I want a cave with abundant spiritual energy. The more abundant, the better. It doesn't matter if it has other flaws."
"In this case, there really is a cave, but..."
He Lang hesitated in his words for a moment.
"Fellow Daoist He, just tell me what you have to say. If it's not appropriate, it's the same as going to other caves."
He Lang nodded:
"Brother Hong, the concentration of spiritual energy in that cave is comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-level cave. It's just that you can't practice in that place."
"How do you say this?"
Hong Ming showed a cheerful look.
He Lang looked crying and laughing, and walked deeper with Hong Ming.
After half an hour, the two came to a cave.
Before arriving at the cave, Hong Ming sensed something was wrong.
When we arrived at this place, it was freezing cold.
"This place has ice-attribute spiritual veins? This should be the favorite cave for fellow Taoists who practice ice-attribute skills." Hong Ming said with a suspicious look on his face.
Before entering this cave, Hong Ming felt the cold air contained here.
This cold air is not even found in the Northern Icefield.
From the Sifang Realm to the Valley of the Fallen Immortals, the spiritual veins were one level lower, and when they arrived at Panlong City, they were even one level lower.
This cold air may cause serious injuries to monks in the transformation stage if they are not careful.
He Lang didn't say much, took out his token and opened the unrented cave formation.
Entering the cave, just at the door, the cold air hit my face.
What surprised Hong Ming even more was that the cave actually contained the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, and the Five Elements Spiritual Energy was quite chaotic and constantly changing. Hong Ming was stunned to see it.
"Brother Hong, there is a cold pool under this cave, which has a good effect on tempering the body. If it is just like this, it is a rare guarantee for the body-refining monks and the passage to practice ice attribute skills. However,
There is an extremely chaotic Five Elements spiritual energy in this cave, so... it has been empty all this time."
