After the elimination round, Xiao Bi immediately entered the arena stage.
The arena competition is much more formal than the eliminations that can be arranged at any random training ground, so it will naturally take some time to set up.
So taking advantage of his spare time, Meng Xingyuan went to the third floor of the Little Alchemy Pagoda, intending to pass the assessment on this floor, complete the follow-up to the first phase of the legendary mission [Medicine King Core], and prepare to enter the second phase.
.
Master Mu Boyuan was so happy because he slapped his old enemy Cang Yunzi hard in the face in public that he had no time to pay attention to him.
On the third floor of the Little Alchemy Pagoda, I thought I was alone, but I didn't expect that besides myself, there were four or five others who seemed to be here to take the assessment.
It has only been a year since I started, but Meng Xingyuan knows only a handful of people. Some of them are enemies like Chen Guan.
But it doesn't matter if they don't know each other. After all, they are all from the Alchemy Way. These people didn't say they were arrogant or anything like that. They nodded to each other to show friendship, then sat down in their respective positions and waited quietly for the examiner to arrive.
"Oh? There are quite a few people."
The person who came was an old man, dressed simply and with a majestic face, quite ancient.
Although he was smiling at this time, it did not give people a sense of relaxation at all, but instead made people straighten their backs unconsciously.
Meng Xingyuan blinked and felt that the voice seemed familiar, but he was not sure and did not dare to make mistakes. He sat in front of the case quietly.
However, the old man seemed to be aware of it. His eyes like razor blades drifted to Meng Xingyuan's side, and he actually let out a soft 'eh'.
"Hey, aren't you the kid who used the Alchemy Spiritual Furnace to refine the [Tail Grass Pill] half a month ago?" His voice was very soft, but everyone heard it.
Immediately, the other five people all looked at Meng Xingyuan.
"You are..." Meng Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that when he passed the examination on the second floor that day, in addition to the wretched examiner, someone else seemed to come in and exchange a few words with the examiner.
Meng Xingyuan vaguely remembered that the examiner seemed to be in great awe of the man and called him "Old Yan". However, when he finished refining the elixir, the old man had disappeared, leaving only the examiner.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, the examiner from the third level of the Little Alchemy Pagoda who came in at this time was none other than Mr. Yan that day.
Looking at Meng Xingyuan's expression, Mr. Yan knew that this boy had recognized him.
He shook his head and chuckled, but there was a non-committal look on his face. His eyes scanned the huge third-floor examination room for a moment. After confirming that it was correct, he said indifferently: "Go to the question."
After giving the order, children immediately floated out from the four corners of the examination room, holding various medicinal materials in their hands, arranged neatly. In the middle was a uniform spiritual furnace, and an alchemy furnace made of ordinary iron on the second floor.
The difference is that the spiritual furnaces here are all infused with spirits, and all are first-grade spiritual furnaces. However, there is no elixir lingering on them. Obviously, this is a newly cast spiritual furnace.
"The topic of this assessment is the fifth-grade medicinal elixir, [Rejuvenation Pill], which has the two functions of restoring spirit and healing. Among the fifth-grade medicinal elixirs, it is considered a very rare treasure. It is also extremely difficult to refine. There is no one yet.
For those of you who have been exposed to the refining of this elixir, the general refining methods are recorded on the jade slip on your left hand side. Stick it on your forehead and you can read through it."
"The medicinal materials on the case, there are two in total, which is enough for you to open two pots of [Rejuvenation Pill]. The cost of the medicinal materials will be paid by the sect, but if you can make the pill, you need to pay six to the sect, and you can keep the rest for yourself. Two
If you fail the furnace, you will fail the assessment. You will have to pay for the medicinal materials yourself, whether it is spiritual stones or merit points, you can go to the Hall of All Things to pay the equivalent fee."
"There is no time limit for this assessment, until all the medicinal materials are consumed. Two furnaces can be used to make one furnace, which is considered to be passed. If it fails, it will be rejected and come back next time."
"By the way," as he said this, the old man turned his eyes and looked towards Meng Xingyuan, "In an assessment that I inspected half a month ago, I discovered a loophole in the assessment of the Little Dan Pagoda. Although the rules are not explicit, but
This time, you can only use the spiritual furnace provided in the door to make elixirs. Any use of other cauldrons will be regarded as cheating and will not be included in the results. You will be kicked out on the spot. Do you... understand?"
"Yes, elder."
After hearing this, everyone responded in unison.
Only Meng Xingyuan's eyes were subtle. You didn't need to guess, you knew that this old man must be talking about himself.
"It's okay, old guy, to target me like this? But it doesn't matter. If you had explicitly prohibited it before, I really couldn't help it. Maybe I wouldn't even be able to pass the second-level assessment, but now...hehe."
At this time, Meng Xingyuan was far from what he was before.
Half a month is enough for him to absorb and digest all the information contained in Level 1 of [Alchemy].
The inheritance of the Alchemy Saint has been systematically dissected into one hundred and eight methods, with a total of 108 levels. Although what he can currently access is only Level 1, which is the first Alchemy Method, this is the inheritance of the Alchemy Saint.
, is just the tip of the iceberg, enough to benefit any alchemist for a lifetime!
Although he has never actually controlled it, with the powerful theoretical knowledge, even if he can only exert one-tenth of the magic of alchemy contained in this first method, it will be absolutely easy for him to cope with this alchemy test.
of.
Yes, [Rejuvenation Pill], even among the fifth-grade medicinal pills, is considered to be extremely difficult to refine. Even seven-star and eight-star high-level elixirs cannot claim to be 100% able to refine it.
Success. It is common for one of the two furnaces to fail.
However, under the inheritance of Alchemy Saint, can this be a big deal?!
Mr. Yan looked at Meng Xingyuan with eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and meant a lot.
He stared at the boy closely, hoping to see panic and embarrassment in his eyes.
However, Meng Xingyuan was destined to disappoint him.
"start."
After giving the order, everyone took action.
Originally, Mr. Yan thought that he was going to repeat the same plan as last time, processing the medicinal materials first, and then using clumsy techniques to add ingredients bit by bit. However, Mr. Yan knew very well that the reason why this kid was lucky last time was
Success, firstly because
That is the easiest and easiest to make among the first-grade medicinal pills, "Tail Grass Pill". Secondly, it is because of the power of the alchemy spirit furnace. It is also extremely difficult to refine the fifth-grade medicinal pill by relying on this weird trick.
[Rejuvenation Pill], that is absolutely impossible!
"Hmph, how can you go far in the alchemy way by cheating and cheating? The same goes for Mu Boyuan, who doesn't teach his disciples well, but lets him learn such weird tricks, and actually gives him a cauldron of alchemy energy.
I think I can rely on him! But I don’t know that this is not helping him, but actually hurting him! If this kid hadn’t grown into an outstanding alchemist now, I would have caught him and taught him a lesson like I did back then!”
Just when Yan Lao was moving in his heart, Meng Xingyuan suddenly moved!
