In the morning, Qin Di met with Cao Yankai again and said that he wanted to apply for the alchemy apprentice exam.
Cao Yankai picked up a bamboo tube from the table with three bamboo sticks in it and said, "Today, there are 18 primary alchemists who are going to refine pills. Among them, three have not found a suitable assistant. You can draw one of them. As long as you pass their test, you can become an alchemy apprentice."
Qin Di thought to himself, This method is quite unique, but in this way, there will be a lot of human factors. If I draw a nitpicky guy, the result will be hard to say. I hope my luck won't be that bad.
He stretched out his hand and drew a stick. When he flipped it over, he saw the three words "Wan Yunbai" written on it. He couldn't help but frown slightly. He felt that this name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
Then, Cao Yankai brought him to an independent alchemy room and instructed, "Wait here first, the Wan Dan Practitioner will come over. As long as he says yes, you will pass the test. If he says no, then you have no chance! "
Qin Di found a round stool in the corner and sat down. He took out an alchemy jade slip that he obtained from the Spear Corner Cave from his storage belt and placed it on his forehead. He slowly read it.
After reading it for a while, he was shocked. If you don't compare, you don't know. This Wang Guinong, who was nicknamed "Hundred Herb Pill King", was really amazing. The jade slip he left behind was much better than the alchemy techniques of the Golden Dan Sect! The two simply couldn't be compared. If they really had to be compared, it would be like the difference between a sheep and an elephant. Not to mention high level alchemy techniques, even the primary disciple teaching would have ten times more information. For example, the medicinal encyclopedia that recorded spiritual herbs. The Golden Dan Sect only had ten thick books. If the jade slip left behind by the King of Elixirs were to be turned into paper books, there would be at least 150 of them!
If he wanted to memorize all of this information, it wouldn't be finished in a day. Moreover, the King of Elixirs didn't just leave behind medicinal encyclopedias. There were also many alchemy techniques, fire control records, and wind blowing experiences. It was extremely comprehensive. If he wanted to learn all of them, who knew how long it would take?
Qin Di was not in a hurry. Anyway, the days of immortal cultivation were long. It was not a bad idea to read books to kill time.
In his previous life, he was a researcher. He had spent his time in university until he was thirty years old. He had seen a vast amount of information. Although these few thousand jade slips were a lot, it was still a lot less than the documents that he had looked up from the internet.
Qin Di sat quietly in the alchemy room, reading ten jade slips in one go. Only then did he see a young man walk in with his head held high. He looked to be in his early twenties, like a rooster, with his chest puffed out and his head raised, looking down on all the females. He wore a blue disciple robe, and on his chest was a nameplate that read "Wan Yunbai."
"Eh? Why are you here? "Seeing Qin Di, the young man was the first to be stunned.
Qin Di took a closer look. Heh, he actually knew this person!
"You are Wan Yunbai? Immortal Master Wan's nephew? I didn't expect that you'd already become an alchemist! Congratulations, congratulations! "
The surprise in Wan Yunbai's eyes only lasted for a moment. When he heard the words "alchemist," he immediately revealed an arrogant expression and asked in a sharp voice, "Qin Yundi, aren't you an inner court disciple? What are you doing here? "
Qin Di smiled slightly. "I'm here to take the alchemy apprentice test! That's why I came to trouble you. "
Wan Yunbai snorted lightly and said, "You also want to learn alchemy? That's really strange. You have a wood spiritual root, so do you have talent in alchemy? "
Qin Di chuckled and said, "I'm here to take a look. As for whether I have talent or not, I'm not sure. That's why I need to take the test."
A look of disdain appeared on Wan Yunbai's face. "Your cultivation is higher than mine, so logically speaking, I should call you Senior Martial Brother Qin. But Senior Martial Brother Qin, if you honestly cultivate your Wood Element cultivation method, it would be good enough if you could reach the high level of Foundation Establishment. Why do you suddenly have this strange idea of refining pills?"
Qin Di smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother Wan, I'm here to take the alchemy apprentice test. It has nothing to do with Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, right? Even you are still in the middle stage of Qi Refinement, right? But you're already a primary alchemist. Could it be that if your cultivation is low, you can't take the alchemy apprentice test? I didn't expect the sect to have such a rule! "
Wan Yunbai's expression changed, and he said loudly, "Qin Yundi! Don't think that you can laugh at me just because your cultivation is high! I'm only temporarily half a step behind. In a few years, I'll definitely leave you behind! Hmph, why do you still want to take the alchemy apprentice test? So what if you become an alchemy grandmaster? If you can't form a Gold Core, you can at most live for 500 years! What's the use of learning alchemy? "
Qin Di heard that his words were getting more and more outrageous, and he thought to himself, What bad luck! With such an examiner, I might fail the test.
But he said, "Junior Brother Wan, according to what you said, half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in our sect don't need to cultivate anymore? Since it's hard to form a Gold Core, it's better to die early! Look at the alchemists in the Celestial Fire Valley, other than Venerable Wan, the highest is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Aren't you afraid that they'll hear what you said? "
Wan Yunbai glared at him, "I'm talking about you alone! Qin Yundi, hurry up and go back to cultivate. Don't waste time here! "
"I'm here to take the alchemy apprentice test. Junior Brother Wan, are you not going to give me a chance?"
Wan Yunbai was very impatient, "What chance do I have to give you? I'm an alchemist, I have the final say here! You've already finished the test, and you didn't pass! Hmph, what can you do to me? This is the Celestial Fire Valley, can you kill me with one punch? "
Qin Di looked at him quietly, "Junior Brother Wan, aren't you afraid that I'll find Venerable Wan and let him personally test me?"
"Hahahaha! Qin Yundi, you're too arrogant! Not to mention that my Great Granduncle is in seclusion, even if he wasn't, he wouldn't summon you! Who do you think you are? You're overestimating yourself! "
Qin Di thought to himself, If I take out a few pieces of the Elixir King's jade slips, not to mention letting Venerable Wan test me, even if I asked him to light the fire and be an alchemy boy for a few days, he would probably be willing!
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, he could not be bothered to argue with the other party.
"Junior Brother Wan, one day you'll regret your actions today."
"Haha, what a joke. Aren't you just cultivating a little faster in the Qi Refinement stage? After the Foundation Establishment stage, you'll have no chance! What else is there for me to regret? "
Before he finished speaking, Qin Di had already walked out of the alchemy room, "You're not worth mentioning! I didn't expect Venerable Wan to have a junior like you! "
Wan Yunbai chased after him to the door and said loudly, "Qin Yundi, if you beg, I might let you pass! Hurry up and beg me! "
Qin Di shook his head slightly and went straight to the management office, saying to Cao Yankai, "Mister Cao, the Myriad Alchemists are a bit unhappy with me and aren't willing to let me take the test. Can you help me get another alchemist?"
Cao Yankai glanced at him and said, "That won't do. You've already drawn lots and gone through the process. According to the sect's rules, if you don't pass the first time, you can't take the test this year. If you want to take the test again, you'll have to come back next year! "
Qin Di frowned, "Can't you make an exception for me? Is there no precedent for this kind of thing? "
"There's no way to make an exception! Even if the sect head comes, it's useless! Unless Venerable Wan, who guards the fire vein and manages the alchemy room, says something! "
"Where can I find Venerable Wan?"
"Venerable Wan is refining a furnace of Nascent Soul medicinal pills and hasn't come out for eight months! It's impossible for you to find him! "
Qin Di thought to himself, I'm really unlucky today! I didn't look at the almanac when I went out and actually met a despicable person!
Cao Yankai squinted at him and shook his head, "Young man, who can you offend? But you have to offend Wan Danshi! Don't you know? Wan Danshi is doted on by Venerable Wan the most and is known as the 'Young Director' in the Celestial Fire Valley! Since you've offended him, things are not going to be easy! Even if you come back next year, you might not be able to pass the test! "
Qin Di was a little angry in his heart and said lightly, "Is the test that important? Even if I can't pass the test, I can still become an alchemy grandmaster! "
"Alchemy grandmaster? Haha, do you know what an alchemy grandmaster is? You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! You dare to speak so arrogantly at such a young age! People like you are arrogant, rude, arrogant, and conceited. You deserve not to pass the test! "
Qin Di curled his lips, "Old mister, if you can live for another sixty years, you'll be able to see that day!"
"What did you say? See which day? "
"The day I become an alchemy grandmaster!"
"Become an alchemy grandmaster in sixty years? You're daydreaming! Wishful thinking! Pfft! "
