Chapter 68 Passing the Test
Outside the alchemy room, Fama and the other two who had been waiting for a day were not in a hurry. Instead, they drank tea and chatted leisurely.
"Old man Fama, how long do you think it will take Master Xiao to refine this pill?"
"Hehe, I'm not a sixth-grade alchemist, 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 two days. And the difficulty of refining this Rongling Pill is much higher than that of the Douling Pill." Fama said with a smile.
If the sixth-grade pill was so easy to refine, he wouldn't have been stuck as a fifth-grade alchemist for more than ten years.
"If Master Xiao can succeed in refining, he will be really famous in Gama. For decades, only Gu He is a sixth-grade pharmacist, and Master Xiao is only thirteen years old. He may be able to reach the seventh grade in the future." Hai Bodong smiled narrowly. He couldn't wait to see the shocked expressions of his old friends.
"No matter whether Xiao Yun can succeed in refining, even if he doesn't want the position of president, I will keep him in the pharmacist association!" Fama's eyes flashed with brilliance. When Gu He broke through to the sixth-grade pharmacist, he regretted not keeping him more than once, because he was intercepted by Yun Lan Zong first. Now there is Xiao Yun who is more evil than Gu He. If he misses it, Fama estimates that he will really regret it.
"You are willing to..." 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 refining is successful, but only one day has passed!"
...
In the alchemy room, Xiao Yun didn't know the shock of the two old men outside. He was now concentrating on the medicine cauldron. In the green flame, a pale purple pill embryo was slowly taking shape.
Originally, fusion was an extremely dangerous process, but fortunately, with the guidance of Yao Lao, the eighth-grade medicine master, Xiao Yun finally fused all the medicinal essences into pills without any danger.
As time went by, the uneven pill in the medicine cauldron gradually became rounded, and dazzling light surged from the surface, rendering it like a lavender gem.
"Congeal!"
Xiao Yun shouted coldly, and his hands kept forming seals. The Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire also changed with the movements of his hands. In the end, all the blue flames wrapped the pill prototype and poured into the pill.
The moment the pill took shape, a strong energy of heaven and earth also surged out from it. Because he was taking the test, Xiao Yun was too lazy to hold back this energy and let it vent wildly.
Boom!
Suddenly, a purple light column about seven or eight meters thick shot up from the Alchemist Guild, accompanied by extremely violent energy from the heaven and earth. The entire Alchemist Guild seemed to have been shaken by an earthquake, and the huge building was shaking slightly.
The purple light column was so earth-shaking that it attracted the attention of almost everyone in the Holy City of Gama. There was a look of surprise in their eyes, and there were many powerful people among them, who moved their bodies and rushed towards the Alchemist Guild.
Staring at the purple light column that shot straight into the sky, Hai Bodong took a breath of cool air and said in amazement: "Old man Fama, is the commotion of refining the sixth-grade elixir so big?"
Although he had heard that the birth of the sixth-grade elixir would be accompanied by strange phenomena in heaven and earth, this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was too terrifying, right? I'm afraid that the surging energy can be felt within a hundred miles.
"You've thought too much. How could an ordinary sixth-grade elixir be so terrifying? Judging from its power, this old man is afraid that the Rongling Pill refined by friend Xiao Yun has reached the level of a sixth-grade high-level elixir. Even Gu He, who is also a sixth-grade pharmacist, finds it difficult to refine an elixir of this level."
Fama was also shocked, his pupils shrank slightly. He thought that Xiao Yun could only refine the Rongling Pill at most, but he didn't expect that he could refine it into a sixth-grade high-level elixir, which was close to the perfect level.
After a dozen breaths, the purple light column finally dissipated slowly. Inside the room, Yao Lao held the Rong Ling Pill in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "If I can take this pill, even in a spirit body, I can unleash the power of the Dou Sect."
"That's good. I'll talk to President Fama later and ask him to set conditions for replacing this pill." Hearing this, Xiao Yun's face was full of joy. Originally, the pills refined in the assessment had to be returned to the Pharmacist Guild, after all, they provided both the medicinal materials and the pill recipe.
However, for Yao Lao, Xiao Yun could also pay some conditions to exchange for this pill. After all, this pill can only work on the soul body, which is a side pill. Moreover, it can restore Yao Lao's Dou Zong level strength. Rounding it off, it is equivalent to his Dou Zong strength!
Yao Lao pulled a smile and said, "Little guy, you are thoughtful." After that, he put the pill into the jade bottle, and turned into a stream of light and returned to the bone inflammation ring.
Seeing Yao Lao go back, Xiao Yun also put the medicine cauldron back into the ring, took the jade bottle and walked out of the alchemy room, and immediately 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, "Little friend Xiao Yun, you are really 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 abdicate and hand over the position of President of the Alchemist Guild."
"Well, that's not necessary. I have to return to Canaan Academy in a while and won't stay in the Gama Empire for long. I would be sorry to disappoint President Fama." Xiao Yun waved his hands to refuse. If he were to be the president of the Alchemist Guild, he would definitely 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, my friend has a seriously injured soul, this pill is very suitable for him, I am willing to take out other sixth-grade pills in exchange, does President Farmer agree?"
"Well, well, then I won't force you." Being rejected by Xiao Yun, Farmer was very disappointed, but after hearing his next words, his cloudy eyes turned and he smiled again: "No need to do that, this pill is made by you, although the medicinal materials and the pill formula are all from my Pharmacist Guild, but if you need it, you can take it."
Hmm? In this way, 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 am just telling the truth, but since you said so, the Pharmacist Guild doesn't really need the sixth-grade elixir, so I will ask you to serve as the Honorary Elder of the Pharmacist Guild, plus a public elixir refining, how about it? Of course, the medicinal materials will be provided by our Pharmacist Guild." Fama said with a smile, revealing his true purpose.
"The Honorary Elder is only a figurehead in the Pharmacist Guild, and will not be subject to any constraints. Instead, he can use the resources of the guild to find the medicinal materials and elixirs he likes."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun thought about it and immediately nodded and agreed.
The honorary elder was just a figurehead. As for the public alchemy, he wanted to show off his alchemy skills in the Holy City of Gama anyway, so he went along.
"In that case, thank you, President Fama. But I won't stay in the Holy City of Gama for long. The public alchemy will be held tomorrow. I want to try to refine the Po Zong Dan. I wonder if the medicine warehouse has the herbs for it. When the refining is successful, the pill will belong to President Fama."
"Po Zong Dan is a sixth-grade high-level pill. Do you have the confidence, Elder Xiao?" Fama's pupils shrank slightly when he heard Xiao Yun say that he wanted to refine the Po Zong Dan. Even Hai Bodong beside him was shocked.
The Po Zong Dan can assist the peak Dou Huang strongman to break through the Dou Zong, increasing the probability by 20%. It is a sixth-grade high-level elixir. Over the years, no one in the Jia Ma Empire has been able to refine it successfully, not even the Dan King Gu He.
"Haha, after this refining, I have a 50% chance of success." Xiao Yun smiled. The feeling of refining the Rong Ling Dan this time gave him the confidence to challenge the Po Zong Dan, and Yao Lao could secretly assist him. He wanted to rely on this elixir to harvest the leeks of the Jia Ma Holy City like crazy.
"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 plain linen robe hanging on the ceiling, with wings fluttering behind him, and his figure appeared outside the alchemy room.
"Humph, who did I think it was? It turns out to be you, old monster. You are not dead yet?" Hai Bodong saw the person coming and snorted coldly, then introduced him to Xiao Yun: "He is the guardian of the Jiama royal family, Jia Xingtian, with the cultivation level of the nine-star peak fighting emperor."
"I have met Master Jia." Xiao Yun clasped his fists, bowed and smiled.
Jia Xingtian ignored Hai Bodong and bowed to Xiao Yun, saying, "Haha, Master Xiao, you just said that you have a 50% chance of refining the Po Zong Dan. Is that true?"
"Of course, I won't joke about this kind of thing."
Hai Bodong and Fama also nodded. Xiao Yun just refined a sixth-grade high-level pill. They still believed that Xiao Yun could refine the Po Zong Dan.
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled slightly, and glanced at Hai Bodong and the other person beside him without leaving a trace, but he was more and more surprised in his heart. 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 Po Zong Dan, so he exclaimed in surprise.
"Then can I also go to observe the style of Master Xiao tomorrow?" Jia Xingtian asked with a smile. He also wanted to see if Xiao Yun could refine the Po Zong Dan. After all, if he wanted to break through to the Douhuang level, he could only rely on the Po Zong Dan.
"Sure, as long as you don't disturb me refining the elixir, anyone who wants to come and watch is fine." Xiao Yun was eager for Jia Xingtian and Yunshan to come, so how could he refuse.
...
After a while, many more masters flew over, asking questions non-stop. Xiao Yun had no choice but to speak: "President Fama, please find me a room to rest. I 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 home."
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, the other masters stopped pestering him and returned to their homes, looking forward to tomorrow.
