Baiyun Ancient City.
At the Alchemist Assessment Grounds.
All the alchemists were gathered here.
There was still an hour before the test.
Many alchemists had already taken out their alchemy cauldrons. Those examinees who didn't have alchemy cauldrons came to the alchemy cauldrons prepared by the government.
The officials did not have any requirements for their own alchemy furnaces. After all, for candidates who could participate in this kind of assessment, things like alchemy furnaces would not be of much use.
Therefore, there were no related restrictions. After all, those who could participate in this kind of alchemy assessment could not expect them to have alchemy furnaces.
Even if it was a good alchemy furnace, it was also an advantage.
In the examination venue, the officials prepared low-grade alchemy furnaces, all of which were Dharma artifacts.
The best alchemy furnace was a black gold alchemy furnace brought by a student. It was a high-grade magic tool.
But at this very moment …
Xu Luochen waved his hand and an alchemy furnace that was dozens of feet tall appeared.
The cauldron was completely red, and the handles on both sides of the cauldron resembled the wings of a phoenix.
The appearance of this pill furnace caused the air to heat up. An incomparably blazing beam of light shot up into the sky.
Screech!
A voice rang out, like the cry of a phoenix, shocking everyone.
Countless gazes were gathered on Xu Luochen, and they were a little dumbfounded.
Ah … this! Who could withstand this?
It's just a mere Alchemist examination, and you want to take out this kind of cauldron?
Damn it, do you have any shame?
This was like a martial arts duel between martial artists. Everyone's weapons were ordinary weapons. Even if their weapons were slightly better, it was not a big deal to take out a slightly better weapon.
You can just take out an Immortal Artifact! What's there to compete with?
Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Xu Luochen.
In particular, Xu Luochen's friends froze on the spot.
It was no wonder that Xu Luochen was so confident.
With this kind of alchemy furnace, who wouldn't be able to pass?
Let me ask you, who can't pass?
Feeling the envious gazes of the crowd, Xu Luochen seemed extremely calm, and he even placed the medicinal herbs in an orderly manner.
The requirement to pass the alchemist examination was to concoct a batch of Spirit Concentration Pills. Everyone had three chances. As long as they could successfully concoct one batch and ensure that the failure rate did not exceed fifty percent, it would be considered a success.
With the Phoenix Wing Furnace, Xu Luochen was naturally confident. He didn't believe that he couldn't pass even one of the three chances.
The appearance of the Phoenix Wing Furnace filled the Alchemists with envy and jealousy.
"Brother Xu, is this your alchemy furnace?"
Someone looked at Xu Luochen and couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, not bad, right?"
Xu Luochen nodded, feeling rather smug.
"Brother Xu, don't joke around. This alchemy furnace is at least a low-grade spiritual weapon, right?"
"Low-grade Spirit Weapon? Are you joking here? This is at least a mid-grade spirit weapon. "
"Toads, they're all just a bunch of toads. I was fortunate enough to participate in the Alchemy Summit and have seen a high grade spirit artifact alchemy furnace. Compared to brother Xu's alchemy furnace, the difference is like heaven and earth. I feel that this alchemy furnace is at least a top grade alchemy furnace."
Everyone was discussing and guessing the quality of the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace.
At this moment.
A bell rang.
It was time for the test.
A group of people appeared on the main stage.
Ye Ping was the first to appear, followed by Chen Ning and some elders of Baiyun Ancient City.
Their appearance meant that the alchemy assessment was about to begin.
However, after the crowd appeared, everyone except Ye Ping looked at the Phoenix Wing Furnace in unison.
In particular, Chen Ning immediately saw Xu Luochen's Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace.
Others might not understand, but he could.
That was a supreme Dao artifact. Even the Jin Nation Academy did not have such an alchemy furnace. Only the Great Xia Dynasty might have such a treasure.
It was just an ordinary alchemy assessment, but they actually had to take out such an alchemy furnace. Chen Ning was a little dumbfounded.
'What kind of pill is he going to refine?'
'Supreme Immortal Pill?'
He was indeed Ye Ping's Senior Brother.
As for the other elders, they were also dumbfounded after seeing the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace.
Those who didn't know better would think that it was a supreme alchemy assessment.
Fortunately, everyone knew that Xu Luochen was Ye Ping's Senior Brother. Hence, although they were shocked, they could still accept it.
At this moment, Ye Ping looked over.
After seeing the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace, Ye Ping was not surprised. He had previously heard from Da Xu that his Second Senior Brother's creation was a pill furnace.
However, when he saw the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace, Ye Ping seemed a little envious.
However, Ye Ping was more curious about what kind of pill his Second Senior Brother would refine.
Clang!
The bell rang again, which meant that the assessment was about to begin and everyone began to prepare.
As the bell rang, an elder looked at the crowd and spoke slowly.
"The alchemy assessment is about to begin. Examinees, prepare the medicinal herbs."
"During the assessment, do not make any noise. If you have any needs, just raise your hand."
"After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn out, when the bell rings again, the assessment will begin."
The elder's voice sounded again.
At this moment, all the students returned to their seats, and they seemed very serious as they took out the medicinal herbs one by one.
In particular, Xu Luochen took out a bag and then took out the medicinal herbs in it.
On the main platform, Chen Ning couldn't help but look at Ye Ping and ask.
"Senior Brother Ye, what kind of pill is your Senior Brother going to refine? He actually took out such a treasure furnace? "
Chen Ning looked at Ye Ping curiously and asked.
"I'm not sure either, but the pill that my Senior Brother wants to refine is definitely not ordinary."
Ye Ping didn't know what kind of pill Xu Luochen was going to refine, but the only thing he knew was that the pill that Xu Luochen was going to refine was definitely a supreme one.
After saying that, not only Chen Ning, but the other elders were also curious.
They wondered what kind of pill Xu Luochen was going to refine.
After all, he had already taken out a Dao artifact pill furnace. If he didn't do something special, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Just like that, Xu Luochen took out a bunch of medicinal herbs, and Chen Ning and the others looked over.
"Qi Nourishing Grass, Blood Revitalizing Root, Spirit Cleansing Leaf, Hundred Brain Vine …"
Chen Ning muttered to himself. He could tell what medicinal herbs Xu Luochen took out at a glance.
They were very ordinary medicinal herbs.
"Aren't these medicinal herbs used to refine the Qi Condensation Pill?"
"Yes, these are the medicinal herbs used to refine the Qi Condensation Pill."
"Is he going to refine the Qi Condensation Pill?"
The elders were a little curious.
To be honest, they all thought that Xu Luochen was going to refine some unique pills, but they didn't expect that Xu Luochen was actually going to refine such a pill.
That's a little … too ordinary, isn't it? '
However, Chen Ning shook his head and said slowly.
"No, although these are medicinal herbs used to refine the Qi Condensation Pill, my master said that every pill in this world will have an extreme effect when refined to the extreme."
"Even the most ordinary Qi Condensation Pill may have more than a dozen abilities. I think Senior Brother Xu wants to show off his outstanding alchemy skills."
Chen Ning said confidently.
Everyone nodded one after another, feeling that Chen Ning's words made sense.
However, Ye Ping shook his head.
"No, my Senior Brother definitely isn't going to refine a supreme-grade Qi Condensation Pill. I think he has a deeper meaning."
Ye Ping didn't think that Xu Luochen would refine those ordinary pills.
After he said that, everyone couldn't help but be even more curious.
\ 'If he isn't going to refine a supreme-grade Qi Condensation Pill, what is he going to refine?\'
Clang.
At this moment, the time it took for an incense stick to burn slowly passed.
As the bell rang.
All the candidates began to refine pills.
They placed the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace and then began to light the fire to refine pills.
However, in the assessment venue.
However, Xu Luochen seemed extremely calm. He looked at the medicinal herbs quietly and no one knew what he was doing.
However, the more Xu Luochen did that, the more brilliant he seemed to be in the eyes of everyone.
Time passed bit by bit.
Due to the fact that there was no time limit for the alchemy assessment, the students seemed to be in no hurry as they wanted to do their best and not make any mistakes.
However, two hours passed.
Xu Luochen had yet to start, but everyone felt that something was strange.
The other alchemists had already refined half of the pills in two hours, but Xu Luochen had yet to start.
'What is he doing? '
Even Ye Ping was a little curious at this moment. However, Ye Ping was very clear that Xu Luochen definitely had his own reasons for refining pills like that.
Below the stage.
Xu Luochen encountered a very troublesome matter.
He had forgotten the order of the medicinal herbs for the Qi Condensation Pill.
Yes, he had forgotten the order.
Every pill formula had to be particular about the order. For example, the first medicinal herb should be placed, and the second medicinal herb should be used.
There couldn't be any mistakes in every step. Once there was a problem, the medicinal herbs would be destroyed.
If the wrong medicinal herbs were placed, it would be even more troublesome and there might even be a possibility of the furnace exploding.
At the thought of this, Xu Luochen felt a little depressed.
However, at the thought that his pill furnace was a supreme Dao artifact, Xu Luochen gritted his teeth and grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs before putting them into the pill furnace.
It was a blood-colored vine.
After putting it into the pill furnace, the blood-colored vine immediately melted and Xu Luochen panicked even more.
In the past, when the medicinal herbs were placed into the pill furnace, it would take at least 15 minutes for them to melt and turn into medicinal liquid.
However, this pill furnace was too good. As soon as it was placed in, the medicinal herbs melted on the spot.
Although it saved time, it also disrupted Xu Luochen\'s thoughts.
He didn\'t have time to consider what the second medicinal herb should be.
\ 'What should I do?\'
\ 'What should I do?\'
Xu Luochen was a little anxious.
In a moment of desperation, Xu Luochen casually took out another handful of medicinal herbs and put them into the pill furnace.
Sizzle!
As the second medicinal herb was placed into the pill furnace, it immediately melted again.
At this moment, on the main platform.
Be it Chen Ning or the other elders, they were all a little surprised.
"This … the order of the medicinal herbs doesn\'t seem to be right, does it?"
An elder somehow felt awkward and couldn\'t help but say that.
On the other hand, the other elders somehow felt awkward too.
They were naturally extremely familiar with the order of medicinal herbs for the Qi Condensation Pill. The first medicinal herb that Xu Luochen put in was called the blood-colored vine, which should be the fourth medicinal herb.
"Perhaps, the pill that Senior Brother Xu wants to refine isn\'t the Qi Condensation Pill at all."
Chen Ning bit the bullet and said. He also felt that Xu Luochen\'s actions were a little awkward.
After all, there was indeed something wrong with the order of the medicinal herbs for the Qi Condensation Pill. However, how could an alchemist who could teach Ye Ping make such a low-level mistake?
Ye Ping couldn\'t help but be curious.
Although he didn\'t know much about alchemy, he knew the order of refining the Qi Condensation Pill, which he had learned from reading alchemy books before.
Not only did Xu Luochen put the medicinal herbs in the wrong order, he even added a few different medicinal herbs. Besides, the effects of those medicinal herbs had nothing to do with the Qi Condensation Pill at all.
\ 'What\'s going on?\'
Ye Ping was a little curious, but he still didn\'t suspect Xu Luochen.
He believed that Xu Luochen must have his reasons.
Below the platform.
Xu Luochen had completely given up on himself.
He didn\'t expect that one day, he would fail the assessment because he couldn\'t remember the order of the medicinal herbs.
The main reason was that he had been thinking about other things yesterday and was too confident. Hence, he was a little nervous.
\ 'It\'s over.\'
\ 'It\'s over.\'
\ 'It\'s over.\'
He watched as the medicinal herbs melted into medicinal liquid and mixed together in the pill furnace.
Xu Luochen was completely dumbfounded.
He was already placing medicinal herbs randomly, and he even inexplicably put some messy medicinal herbs in together.
The medicinal liquid in the pill furnace had already become extremely black, just like venom.
The Qi Condensation medicinal liquid of others looked white and red, but his Qi Condensation medicinal liquid seemed to be neutralized with arsenic. He could tell that it was poisonous just by looking at it.
On the platform.
Be it Chen Ning or the other elders, they had completely lost their expectations.
However, they also believed that Xu Luochen had his own ideas.
However, the problem was that the wrong order of medicinal herbs could be salvaged, but adding medicinal herbs at random was completely hopeless.
Adding medicinal herbs at random was not necessarily hopeless.
However, the problem was that Xu Luochen had just added three conflicting medicinal herbs in a row, one of which was poisonous.
The Spirit Concentration Pill was about neutralization and stability.
However, Xu Luochen did the exact opposite.'What if I can refine pills? ' Moreover, he could even refine a good pill.
They ate the alchemy furnace.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Ye Ping curiously, wondering why Xu Luochen could become Ye Ping's Senior Brother.
That's it?
As time passed.
In the end, Xu Luochen had already put all the medicinal herbs he had into the pill furnace.
There was no medicine to put in.
Xu Luochen directly closed the cauldron and injected some spiritual energy into it.
In an instant, the Phoenix Wing Alchemy Cauldron shook, and the Fire Qi soared into the sky.
With a calm expression, Xu Luochen took a few steps back and took a deep breath. He was no longer counting on the Pill Furnace.
Instead, he was thinking about how to deceive his junior brother later.
But at this moment.
Screech!
The cry of a phoenix rang out.
The Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace seemed to have transformed into a Fire Phoenix as it soared into the sky before finally landing heavily on the ground.
The blazing light caused the temperature of the entire Baiyun Ancient City to rise significantly.
Then, the fire phoenix that landed on the ground turned into a pile of scorched earth.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Luochen.
Their eyes were full of curiosity.
Xu Luochen was even more dumbfounded.
He was worried that the pill furnace would explode because of his refinement.
Otherwise, why would there be such a scene?
Everyone watched all of this curiously. In fact, most of the alchemists thought that Xu Luochen had failed to refine the pill and even exploded the pill furnace.
Many elders even felt that it was a pity.
However, before they could say anything …
In an instant, there seemed to be something trembling in the scorched earth.
"Look, it's a phoenix egg."
"It's a phoenix egg."
"Why is there a phoenix egg?"
Everyone was astonished. They pointed at the scorched earth, their eyes filled with astonishment.
On the main platform, everyone was also shocked.
In particular, Ye Ping was extremely agitated. He felt that his Second Senior Brother would definitely not make a mistake.
Below the platform.
In the middle of the scorched earth, a blood-red phoenix egg stood erect.
The phoenix egg had golden patterns and was emitting a strange light.
Crack.
Crack.
In the next moment, the phoenix egg shattered and a golden pill that was the size of a longan appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the broken eggshell transformed into the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace again.
The golden pill floated in front of Xu Luochen and emitted a strange fragrance that spread throughout the entire Baiyun Ancient City.
Furthermore, this golden elixir was incomparably resplendent. The elixir looked like a little phoenix egg.
"Perfect pill, perfect pill, this is a perfect pill."
"Ah, peerless pill, peerless pill. I never thought that I would be able to see the legendary peerless pill with my own eyes in my lifetime."
"Phoenix Nirvana, transcendence, this is Phoenix Nirvana."
"What kind of alchemy technique is this? He actually managed to refine a peerless pill. I'm really impressed."
On the main platform, all the elders were astonished.
They shrieked, feeling extremely shocked.
Xu Luochen's Phoenix Nirvana really shocked everyone.
Even Xu Luochen himself was dumbfounded.
'That's it? '
'He can refine a pill like that? '
Xu Luochen was really shocked.
He didn't expect the medicinal herbs that he randomly placed around to actually refine a peerless pill.
'What's this called? '
'It's called the Phoenix Nirvana Alchemy Technique. '
'I'm indeed a peerless alchemist. '
Xu Luochen was overjoyed.
In fact, the pill furnace was called the Phoenix Wing Immortal Furnace and it had an unparalleled ability.
It was to turn something rotten into something magical.
However, it was not something that could be changed just by placing some medicinal herbs.
Instead, he had to put in a variety of medicinal herbs and use a normal alchemy furnace to refine the most inferior pills.
Only then could the power of the pill furnace be activated.
Once it was activated, it would attract the phenomenon of the Phoenix Nirvana and the refined pills would be magical.
In other words, even if Ye Ping were to refine it, he would not be able to activate the power of the pill furnace at all.
He had to refine the most inferior pills in order to activate the talent.
Even if you randomly placed it, it wouldn't do. After all, the phoenix wings pill furnace was a Dao item, and could adjust itself. Therefore, the medicinal pills it concocted wouldn't be too bad.
To put it bluntly, as long as he could refine pills that even the Phoenix Wing Pill Furnace could not tolerate, he would be able to be reborn.
Xu Luochen accidentally activated the talent of the pill furnace.
That was why there was such a phenomenon.
The golden pill floated in the air.
The entire city was filled with the fragrance of pills.
It was a Qi Condensation Pill that could enrich one's Dharmic powers just by smelling it. Besides, there was the power of Nirvana in the pill.
If a cultivator swallowed it, it would be like the Phoenix Nirvana that would improve their physique and allow them to be reborn.
All of a sudden, many alchemists couldn't help but stare at the pill with envy and greed in their eyes.
However, at this moment, Xu Luochen spoke up.
"Little Junior Brother, have you learned it?"
He asked.
Ye Ping, who was on the main platform, slowly snapped back to his senses.
He looked at Xu Luochen and hurriedly spoke.
"Senior Brother, I've understood it, but I can't learn it."
"However, I will definitely learn it seriously."
It seemed that he had completely understood it.
However, he really had no idea how to learn it.
"Hmm, I'll give this pill to you. Comprehend it well."
"Okay, since the pill is done, I'll go back and rest well. Study it well."
After pretending to be impressive, Xu Luochen put away the pill furnace and turned around to leave.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue pretending.
The main thing was how he should answer if Xu Luochen asked him how he refined it.
On the other hand, Xu Luochen's fellow Daoists were also a little upset.
'Great, you usually ask everyone to go out for tea every day to relax, but you secretly went to make up for it. '
They were upset, but they still seized the time and began refining pills.
