Chapter 68 Passing the Assessment
Outside the alchemy room, Fama and the other man, who had been waiting for a day, were not in a hurry. Instead, they were leisurely drinking tea and chatting."Old Fama, how long do you think it will take Master Xiao to refine this pill?"
"Haha, I'm not a sixth-rank alchemist, so how can I know how long it will take? But I guess it will take at least three days. The last time Gu He refined a Douling Pill, it took him two days. And the difficulty of refining the Rongling Pill is much higher than that of the Douling Pill." Fama said with a smile.
If sixth-grade elixirs were so easy to refine, he wouldn't have been stuck as a fifth-grade alchemist for more than a decade.
"If Master Xiao can succeed in refining the medicine, he will be truly famous in Gama. For decades, only Gu He is a sixth-grade alchemist, and Master Xiao is only thirteen years old. Maybe he can reach the seventh grade in the future." Hai Bodong smiled mischievously. He couldn't wait to see the shocked expressions of his old friends.
“No matter whether fellow Xiao Yun can succeed in refining or not, even if he doesn’t want the position of president of this association, I will keep him in the Alchemist Guild!” Fama’s eyes flashed with a gleam. When Gu He broke through to become a sixth-rank alchemist, he regretted more than once for not keeping him because he was snatched away by the Yunlan Sect. Now, there is Xiao Yun who is even more wicked than Gu He. If he missed out on this opportunity, Fama would probably regret it to death.
“You are willing to give it up…” Hai Bodong, who was somewhat shocked by the heavy chips thrown by Fama, was about to say something when suddenly a wave of energy from heaven and earth came out from the alchemy room. He and Fama looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes and said, “This wave means that the alchemy will be successful, but only one day has passed!”
……
In the alchemy room, Xiao Yun was unaware of the shock of the two old men outside. He was now concentrating on looking into the medicine cauldron. In the green flame, a pale purple pill prototype was slowly taking shape.
Originally, fusion was an extremely dangerous process, but fortunately, with the guidance of Yao Lao, an eighth-grade alchemy master, Xiao Yun was able to safely fuse all the medicinal essences into pills.
As time went by, the bumpy prototype of the pill in the medicine cauldron gradually became round, and dazzling light poured out from its surface, making it look like a lavender gem.
"Congeal!"
Xiao Yun let out a cold shout and continuously formed seals with his hands. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire also changed along with the movements of his hands. Finally, all the blue flames wrapped around the prototype of the pill and suddenly poured into the pill.
The moment the pill took shape, a powerful energy of heaven and earth burst out from it. Because he was taking an assessment, Xiao Yun was too lazy to stop this energy and let it vent wildly.
boom!
In the Alchemist Guild, a purple beam of light that was seven or eight meters thick suddenly shot up into the sky, accompanied by extremely violent energy from heaven and earth that swept out. The entire Alchemist Guild seemed to be hit by an earthquake, and the huge building was shaking slightly.
The purple beam of light was so earth-shaking that it attracted the attention of almost everyone in the Holy City of Gama. Surprise appeared in their eyes, and among them were many powerful people who all moved and rushed towards the direction of the Alchemist Guild.
Staring at the purple beam of light that shot straight into the sky, Hai Bodong took a breath and said in amazement, "Old Fama, is it so noisy to refine a sixth-grade elixir?"
Although he had heard that when a sixth-grade elixir was born, it would be accompanied by a strange phenomenon in the world, but this strange phenomenon in the world was too terrifying, right? I'm afraid that the surging energy could be felt within a hundred miles.
"You're overthinking. How can an ordinary sixth-grade elixir be so terrifying? Judging from its power, I'm afraid that the Rongling Pill refined by Xiao Yun has reached the level of a sixth-grade high-level elixir. Even Gu He, who is also a sixth-grade alchemist, would find it difficult to refine an elixir of this level."
Fama was also shocked, his pupils shrank slightly. He thought that Xiao Yun could at most refine the Rongling Pill, but he didn't expect that he could refine it into a sixth-grade high-level pill, which was close to the perfect level.
After a dozen breaths, the purple light column finally slowly dissipated. Inside the room, Yao Lao held the Rongling Pill in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "If I can take this pill, even if I am a soul body, I can burst out with Dou Zong strength."
"That's not good. I'll talk to President Fama later and ask him to set some conditions to exchange this pill." Hearing this, Xiao Yun's face was full of joy. Originally, the pills refined during the assessment needed to be returned to the Alchemist Guild. After all, they provided both the medicinal materials and the pill recipes.
However, for Yao Lao, Xiao Yun can also pay some conditions in exchange for this pill. After all, this pill can only work on the soul body and is a niche pill. Moreover, it can restore Yao Lao's strength to the Dou Zong level. Rounding it off, it is equivalent to him having the strength of a Dou Zong!
Yao Lao pulled up a smile and said, "Little guy, you are thoughtful." After that, he put the pill into the jade bottle, and it turned into a stream of light and returned to the Bone Inflammation Ring.
Seeing Yao Lao go back, Xiao Yun put the medicine cauldron back into the ring, walked out of the alchemy room with the jade bottle, and then handed it to Fama who was waiting outside for inspection.
Seeing Xiao Yun coming out, Hai Bodong clasped his fists and congratulated him: "Haha, Master Xiao, congratulations on becoming a true sixth-grade alchemist."
Fama was even more excited and said, "My dear friend Xiao Yun, you are truly a genius. You can actually refine the sixth-grade intermediate Rongling Pill so perfectly. You are simply a treasure given by God to our Jiama Alchemist Guild. As long as you are willing to stay, I am willing to step down and hand over the position of President of the Alchemist Guild."
"Well, that's not necessary. I'll be returning to Canaan Academy soon. I won't stay in the Gama Empire for long. I'll let down President Fama." Xiao Yun waved his hands and refused. If he were to be the president of the Alchemy Association, he would have to manage a lot of things. Just thinking about it gave him a headache. How could he have time to practice? "But this Rongling Pill is really needed. I have a friend whose soul is seriously injured. This pill is very suitable for him. I'm willing to exchange other sixth-grade pills. Does President Fama agree?"
"Well, fine, then I won't force you." Fama was immediately disappointed when Xiao Yun rejected him. However, after hearing his next words, his cloudy eyes rolled around and he smiled again, "No need to be like that. This pill was made by you. Although the ingredients and the recipe are from our Alchemist Guild, you can take it if you need it."
Hmm? So, is this old man pointing at me?
Xiao Yun put the jade bottle into his ring and said with a smile, "President Fama, please put forward some conditions, otherwise I will feel uneasy about accepting this elixir."
"Haha, I'm just telling the truth. But since you said so, the Alchemist Guild doesn't really need sixth-grade elixirs. So I'd like to invite you to be the honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, and also give you a public alchemy performance. How about that? Of course, the medicinal materials will be provided by our Alchemist Guild." Fama said with a smile, revealing his true purpose.
"The honorary elders are only in name only in the Alchemist Guild. They will not be bound by any restrictions. Instead, they can use the resources of the guild to find the medicinal herbs and pills they want."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun thought about it, then nodded and agreed.
The honorary elder was just a figurehead. As for publicly refining medicine, he also wanted to show off his medicine refining skills in the Holy City of Gama, so he just went along.
"In that case, I would like to thank President Fama. However, I will not stay in the Holy City of Gama for long. The public medicine refining will be held tomorrow. I want to try to refine the Po Zong Dan. I wonder if the medicine warehouse has the medicinal materials for it. When the refining is successful, the elixir will belong to President Fama."
"The Sect Breaking Pill is a sixth-grade high-level pill. Does Elder Xiao have the confidence?" When Fama heard Xiao Yun say that he wanted to refine the Sect Breaking Pill, his pupils shrank slightly. Even Hai Bodong next to him was shocked.
The Po Zong Dan can assist a peak Dou Huang warrior to break through to the Dou Zong realm, increasing the chance of reaching the realm by 20%. It is a sixth-grade high-level elixir. Over the years, no one in the Jia Ma Empire has been able to successfully refine it, not even the Dan King Gu He.
"Haha, after this refining, I am 50% sure." Xiao Yun smiled. The feeling of refining the Rong Ling Pill this time gave him the confidence to challenge the Po Zong Pill. Moreover, Yao Lao could secretly assist him by then. He would rely on this pill to madly reap the leeks in the Gama Holy City.
"Fifty percent sure! Master Xiao is telling the truth?"
Just as the three were chatting, an old voice came from above. Looking up, they saw a white-haired old man in a simple linen robe floating on the ceiling, with wings vibrating behind him, and his figure appeared outside the alchemy room.
"Humph, I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be you, old monster. You're not dead yet?" Hai Bodong snorted when he saw the person coming. Then he introduced him to Xiao Yun: "He is the guardian of the Jia Ma royal family, Jia Xingtian, with the cultivation level of a nine-star peak Dou Huang."
"Hello, Mr. Jia." Xiao Yun clasped his fists, bowed and said with a smile.
Jia Xingtian ignored Hai Bodong who was standing beside him, and instead bowed to Xiao Yun and said, "Haha, Master Xiao, is it true that you have a 50% chance of refining the Po Zong Dan?"
"Of course, this kind of thing is not something I would joke about."
Hai Bodong and Fama on the side also nodded. Xiao Yun had just refined a sixth-grade high-level elixir, and they still believed that Xiao Yun could refine the Sect Breaking Pill.
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled slightly, and glanced at Hai Bodong and the other person beside him without leaving any trace, but he was more and more surprised. He had just been eavesdropping for a while, and knew that the purple light column was caused by Xiao Yun refining the sixth-grade elixir, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yun actually said that he wanted to refine the sect-breaking elixir, so he exclaimed.
"Then can I also go and observe Master Xiao's style tomorrow?" Jia Xingtian asked with a smile. He also wanted to see if Xiao Yun could refine the Sect Breaking Pill. After all, if he wanted to break through to the Dou Huang level, he could only rely on the Sect Breaking Pill.
"Sure, anyone who wants to come and watch is welcome as long as they don't disturb me while I'm refining the medicine." Xiao Yun was hoping that Xing Tian and Yun Shan would also come, so how could he refuse.
……
After a while, many more experts flew over and kept asking questions. Xiao Yun had no choice but to say, "President Fama, please find me a room to rest. I still have to refine the Pozong Pill tomorrow, so I won't chat with you. Just watch me refine the medicine tomorrow."
"Well, Master Xiao is right. Let's stop arguing here and go away."
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, the other strong men stopped pestering him and returned to their homes, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
