Chapter 107 You are afraid that you have watched too many variety shows
After spending about an hour, Jiang Beiran walked around the trading area of Xuanfang, and found that the items sold here were basically relatively common things. For example, in terms of elixirs, generally fourth-grade elixirs and above were considered
It is relatively rare, but all the three-grade elixirs here can be used as treasures in the store.
Not to mention weapons, any one Jiang Beiran could build would probably be better than those displayed on the wall.
Speaking of good things, there are some, but the prices are completely unreasonable, and only those who are not short of money will probably buy them.
'It's too bad...the number one Xuanfang in Fengzhou, is this it?'
But Jiang Beiran understood after thinking about it for a moment. After all, a cultivator market like Xuanfang mainly provides a trading platform for disciples of various sects. If you really bring out a top-quality weapon, not many people can afford it.
.
Finding that the trading area was not interesting, Jiang Beiran moved to various professional guild areas to see if there would be any unexpected gains.
Jiang Beiran originally thought that compared to the busy trading area, there would be slightly fewer people in the professional guild, but he did not expect that there were not only no fewer people here, but more people. But compared with the trading area where people are constantly flowing, the professional guild
Everyone here is surrounded by circles, obviously there are more people watching the excitement.
After wandering around for a while, Jiang Beiran understood the reason.
It turns out that the professional guild has far more projects than he imagined, including various evaluation levels, treasure identification, elixir training, etc.
'There's really a lot of business...'
Walking to a meeting of fellow alchemists, Jiang Beiran's nose twitched and his eyes suddenly lit up.
'I didn't expect there to be some good stuff here.'
Wu Qingce, who was following not far away, saw his senior brother entering the Alchemist Association, so he also waited for a while and then followed in.
Walking into the guild, Jiang Beiran found that the space inside was quite large, with corresponding windows for various businesses. The one on the outside was for elixir training. You brought the medicinal materials, and they helped you refine them for a labor fee.
Going further inside is to help identify elixirs. For example, if you want to buy a elixir but are worried that the elixir is fake, you can bring this to them for help.
Walking further inside, Jiang Beiran saw something that aroused his interest.
Xuanyang fairy grass.
This flower is very compatible, allowing many medicines with completely different properties to be blended together, thereby refining a series of elixirs with unique medicinal effects. It can be said to be an extremely useful rare auxiliary medicine.
Those who came to this alchemist association basically knew something about alchemy, so many people recognized the Xuanyang fairy grass hanging on the hanging beam and gathered around him. From the conversation of the people in front of him, Jiang Beiran knew it.
To obtain this Xuanyang Immortal Grass, one must pass the test set by the Alchemist Association, and naturally all the onlookers failed.
At this time, another person came to the counter, took a photo of a low-level wood spirit stone and said, "Please let me try it once."
The steward behind the counter accepted the Wood Spirit Stone, pointed to the table beside him and said, "Just pick out the real one from the fifty Rejuvenation Pills."
The man nodded, stared at the fifty rejuvenation pills on the table for a long time, and finally pointed at one of them and said, "This one!"
"Wrong answer." The steward of the trade association replied expressionlessly, as if he was very used to saying these three words.
"Alas..." The man sighed deeply and retreated into the crowd.
The steward rearranged the fifty Qi Restoration Pills to prevent anyone from guessing by elimination.
When he stood back at the counter, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and took out a low-level wood spirit stone and placed it on the table: "I'll give it a try."
After putting away the wood spirit stone, the steward repeated what he just said like a machine.
Jiang Beiran, who found that the system did not give any options, took a step to the right, scanned the fifty Qingling pills several times, pointed to the one closest to him and said, "This one is real."
"Answer..." The steward was about to say "wrong answer" reflexively, but his eyes widened. He glanced at Jiang Beiran in surprise and said, "Very good, you got the answer right, this is it."
"Wow!"
All the onlookers immediately let out a burst of exclamation. For the whole morning, no one had guessed it correctly. They even thought that maybe there was really no one inside. They didn't expect that someone would actually choose it now.
"Then can I take it away?" Jiang Beiran asked, pointing to the Xuanyang fairy grass.
"No, you still have to pass a few more rounds of tests. It's written on the sign below."
Following the direction pointed by the steward, Jiang Beiran saw the wooden sign covered by the crowd, which clearly stated that he had to pass five levels to obtain Xuanyang Fairy Grass.
‘This group of people can’t even pass the first level and are still here watching the excitement for a long time? It’s really idle...’
Making a complaint in his mind, Jiang Beiran looked at the steward and said, "Then what is the second level?"
The steward looked Jiang Beiran over beforehand, and finally stopped at his smiling mask and asked, "Can I ask what level of alchemist you are?"
"Do I have to answer?"
"Oh, that's not necessary. It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer." The steward waved his hand, removed the fifty Qi-returning pills, and took out a copper box with air holes on it and said to Jiang Beiran: "The second level will be
Please tell the names of all the medicinal materials without opening the lid."
Seeing the title of the second level, the onlookers started talking about it.
"Isn't this too simple?"
"Yes, smelling medicinal materials is not the most basic ability of an alchemist?"
"Isn't this a free gift?"
But at this time, a rich voice shouted: "Why are you making such a fuss! In the morning, you guys also boasted that distinguishing true and false elixirs is the most basic ability of an alchemist, but the result is! It's already noon! I don't see any of you recognizing it.
, which caused me to waste a spiritual stone!"
As soon as these words came out, the person who just spoke suddenly fell silent.
This is indeed true. For alchemists, distinguishing the authenticity of medicines is the most basic ability. Common first-grade pills like Qihui Dan are the basis of the basics. But when they actually went to identify them, they discovered that this
One hundred Qi-Reviving Pills are exactly the same, both in taste and spiritual power, they are the same as real Qi-Reviving Pills, which is why they failed one after another.
Although this scent-recognizing medicine sounds very simple, it probably has another mystery just like the Qi-Reviving Pill.
When the noise stopped, the steward behind the counter said to Jiang Beiran, "Please."
Although Jiang Beiran had already guessed what medicinal materials were in the copper box when the steward took it out, he still picked up the copper box and smelled it for a while, with the expression on his face constantly changing.
After a while, Jiang Beiran opened his eyes and said, "The medicinal materials here are..."
"Wait a moment," the manager said, taking out a pen and paper and saying to Jiang Beiran, "Brother, this paper will do."
"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded, took the pen, wrote down all the medicinal materials he smelled, and handed it back to the steward.
The steward took it and looked at it for a while. His expression immediately became extremely surprised. He was stunned for a while and then said to Jiang Beiran: "Answer...that's the right answer."
"Wow! After passing two levels in a row, this guy has some skills."
"I just said guessing the medicine is very simple."
Hearing this, Wu Qingce, who was mixed in the crowd, immediately became angry. How dare he question his senior brother? Just when he was about to drag this man out for a fight, he heard another man yelling.
"It's easy, so go ahead! You can't even pass the first level, and you're still farting here."
"You don't think the second level is easier than the first level, do you? Can someone be stupider than you?"
The man who was scolded had no choice but to shut up, lower his head and say nothing.
Seeing that the man didn't speak, Wu Qingce gave it up. After all, if he beat this man, he would easily get scolded by his senior brother.
The steward at the counter wanted to sneeze at these poor people. This man with the smiley mask was not only capable, he was extremely capable!
The twelve medicinal herbs contained in this copper box all complement each other in taste. As long as they are put together, they will be combined into hundreds of changes. In addition, the copper box will make the taste more pungent. This level of difficulty would be difficult even for a third-grade pharmacist.
None of them could answer it correctly, but the person in front of me answered them all just by smelling it!
'Could it be that an elder from some sect came here to cause trouble?'
They would bring out treasures like Xuanyang Xiancao as rewards. Naturally, they never thought of giving this treasure away. In addition to wanting to earn some spiritual stones, they mainly wanted to use this Xuanyang Xiancao to show off their guild.
With our strength, telling others that there are big talents in our trade association can also be considered as publicity.
But I didn't expect that someone could actually pass two levels in a row.
This is definitely not something that ordinary disciples can do, not even ordinary ones!
The steward was a little panicked at this time, but he still calmly said to Jiang Beiran: "This third level is very difficult. If brother gives up the challenge, you can get a third-grade elixir. Do you want it?"
How about continuing the challenge?”
'Good guy... I'm afraid the people in this Alchemist Guild have watched the variety show, right? This is really an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.'
Jiang Beiran hadn't spoken yet, but the onlookers started to get excited. After all, a third-grade crystal was already a very luxurious thing for them, but after all, it was not too big a deal to watch the excitement, and a group of people started to cheer and cheer.
Jiang Beiran continued to break through. After all, compared with Xuanyang Immortal Grass, third-grade elixirs were scum.
As for Jiang Beiran, as long as the system does not pop up the option, he will naturally not be able to give up the opportunity to get the Xuanyang Immortal Grass.
So he smiled and shook his head and said: "I choose to continue to pass the test."
Although the manager felt even more panicked after hearing this, he still smiled and said: "Okay, but we need to make some preparations for the third level, please wait a moment."
Jiang Beiran nodded: "Okay, I'll wait."
When the steward opened the door and left, a group of people immediately gathered around and bowed their hands to Jiang Beiran.
"Brother, you are awesome! I wonder if you can take the time to give me some advice later. I have a great gift for you."
"I don't know which sect my brother is a master of, but..."
"What a silly question. They are all wearing masks, and they didn't reveal their rank. It's obvious that they don't want to say anything."
Seeing that there were still a few sensible people, Jiang Beiran turned around and said politely: "Thanks to Wrong Love, if you really have any problems, it would be better to go to the trade association for advice."
At this time, the stewards who had arrived in the inner hall had already found the vice president of their trade association.
"Passed two levels in a row!?" the vice president said in surprise.
"Yes, but it was not easy for him to pass the second level. It took him a while to answer. But if he can pass it, he is already very good. Do you think he is here to cause trouble?"
The vice-president shook his head and said: "This is the Hidden Moon Sect. Who dares to come and cause trouble? He probably met that talented disciple. After all, all the powerful sects in Fengzhou are here this time. What a surprise!"
It’s not surprising that there are one or two monsters.”
"Then what should I do now?"
"Just keep letting him get through."
"yes!"
When the steward exited the room, the vice president stroked his beard and sighed: "I didn't expect that we really attracted talented people."
After saying that, he also walked out of the room.
Returning to the lobby, the steward holding a pile of medicinal materials said to Jiang Beiran: "I've been waiting for a long time. Let's start passing the third level now."
Jiang Beiran nodded: "Please give me a question."
The steward threw all the medicinal materials in his hand into a cauldron and said, "Please complete the purification step of all the materials in my hand."
"Wow... the difficulty of this third level has been increased too much! I think you don't plan to give away this Xuanyang Immortal Grass at all."
"That's right! Give us back the spirit stone!"
"Your karma is too dark!"
After hearing this, the steward looked at the disciples and said, "Did I force you to break through the barrier? Or do you want to cause trouble?"
A group of people suddenly became dumbfounded. Yes, no one forced them to participate. It was just that they were fascinated by the Xuanyang Immortal Grass and wanted to give it a try.
But the main thing that blocked their mouths was the second half of the sentence. It was no joke to cause trouble in the Hidden Moon Sect. They were just young disciples. How could they afford such a crime?
After frightening the onlookers, the steward turned to Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother, you still have a chance to change your mind. If you give up the challenge now, you can still get the third-grade elixir."
Jiang Beiran shook his head and asked: "We've already made it this far, it doesn't hurt to give it another try. Can we just turn on the furnace here?"
Seeing that Jiang Beiran had no intention of backing down, the manager had no choice but to reply: "Yes, let's start right here."
"Can you help me change some charcoal? The charcoal under this furnace is not powerful enough."
"No problem, what charcoal do you need?"
"Yan Xu Tan, I wonder if your association can provide it?"
'Expert...' As soon as he heard the name Jiang Beiran reported, the manager knew that he had definitely met a master.
"Yes, of course, wait a moment."
Soon, the steward prepared everything Jiang Beiran needed. Jiang Beiran thanked him and sat down in front of the cauldron to start purification.
The meaning of purification is very simple, which is to remove impurities from medicinal materials and leave the most essential part. Different medicinal materials naturally have different purification difficulties.
Compared with the difficulty of purifying medicinal materials, it is more difficult to purify multiple medicinal materials, because they will affect each other, and how to separate them will test the alchemist's accuracy.
But for Jiang Beiran...
'Basic operation...'
