Time passed bit by bit.
For Qin Feiyang, every breath was torture.
Not to mention the Mu Qing siblings, who would occasionally let out a miserable groan.
Half a day passed.
The torture was finally over.
After the fusion of the mental power and the Heavenly Thunder Flame, the pain disappeared and was replaced by warmth.
"Phew!"
Qin Feiyang exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
Looking at the purple alchemy fire, he turned and walked out of the alchemy room, cupped his hands and said, "Pagoda Master, I have completed the fusion with the alchemy fire."
"Using half a day to fuse, you did not let down your mental power."
"Go and refine a healing pill for me to see."
"If you succeed in one try, I will take you in as my last disciple."
The woman's tone was very calm, and no emotions could be heard.
Qin Feiyang was overjoyed.
But immediately after, he became worried.
If it was the Netherworld Devil Flame, he was confident that he could refine it in one try even with his eyes closed.
But he had to know.
Now that he was refining with the Heavenly Thunder Flame, he needed to control the fire again.
He could not be as handy as before.
The failure rate completely exceeded the success rate.
But now, he absolutely could not fail.
It was not easy to alarm the Pagoda Master, he could not fail at this step!
He walked into the alchemy room again.
He did not immediately start refining. Staring at the purple flame, he calmed the nervousness in his heart.
"Phew!"
A hundred breaths passed.
He took a deep breath, took out the bronze alchemy furnace, and placed it on the alchemy fire.
Then, he took out a set of medicinal materials for the healing pill and the solidifying liquid.
Everything was ready.
Qin Feiyang focused and began to refine the spiritual liquid.
Before each medicinal material entered the alchemy furnace, he would reduce the temperature in the furnace to the lowest.
Then, it increased bit by bit.
He was extremely careful with every step.
After refining pills for so long, he had never been so cautious like now.
Even when the Black-Winged King and the White-Winged King rebelled, he was not so careful when refining the Prolonging Life Pill for the Mermaid Emperor.
Just refining the spirit liquid alone took him less than an hour!
Speaking of which, it was quite ironic.
If it was the Netherworld Devil Flame, he could refine hundreds of healing pills in half an hour.
Next, he became even more careful when fusing with the spirit liquid.
Not even the slightest mistake could occur.
However!
Things didn't go as planned.
When the fusion reached the final step, the bronze pill furnace suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
"Why did the furnace explode?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned and hurriedly bent down.
The fragments of the pill furnace flew over his head and crashed into the walls of the pill refining room, creating glaring sparks!
A moment later.
Qin Feiyang stood up and looked at the messy alchemy room, his mind full of doubts.
He was certain that no matter if it was the heat, time, or control, there was not the slightest mistake.
But why did the bronze pill furnace explode?
Most importantly, he was only one step away!
Just as he was about to succeed, such a thing happened.
Wouldn't all the previous efforts be for naught?
"Do you know why you failed?"
The woman's voice suddenly sounded in Qin Feiyang's mind.
War Master!
Qin Feiyang felt a chill in his heart.
Only experts above the war master level could directly send sound transmissions.
He turned to look at the woman and asked doubtfully, "Why?"
The woman sent a sound transmission: "Because a second grade pill furnace can't withstand the burning of the Heavenly Thunder Flame."
"So that's how it is."
Qin Feiyang muttered and asked: "What about a third grade pill furnace?"
"Third and fourth grade pill furnaces are the same. Only fifth grade and above pill furnaces will not explode."
The woman sent a sound transmission.
"Then why did you ask me to refine pills?"
Qin Feiyang was a little annoyed.
A fifth grade or above pill furnace was simply an extravagant hope for him right now.
With this person's brain, it was impossible for him not to think that he did not have a fifth grade pill furnace, but still wanted him to refine it. Wasn't this clearly trying to scam him?
The woman did not say anything and looked at Mu Qing's alchemy room.
Qin Feiyang did not continue refining and left the alchemy room.
Without a fifth grade or above pill furnace, it was useless.
Boom!
At this time.
The door opened.
The City Lord strode in and said respectfully: "Pagoda Master, the spiritual force test has been completed. When can we begin the third test?"
The woman asked: "How many people passed?"
The City Lord said: "About five hundred people."
Qin Feiyang's heart skipped a beat. Another half of them were eliminated.
The woman pondered for a moment and said: "Let Mu Qing and Mu Xue 'er in after I finish the test."
"Yes."
The City Lord responded respectfully, then turned around and left.
The door of the tower also closed.
The third test was to test the control of alchemy fire.
This test required alchemy fire, so naturally they had to enter the alchemy room.
In the past, the City Lord could make the decision by himself.
But it was different now.
The Pagoda Master appeared in person and everything had to be approved by her.
Time flew by.
Another half a day passed.
At this time, night had fallen outside.
Mu Qing and his sister finally walked out of the alchemy room.
Mu Qing cupped his hands and said: "Pagoda Master, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Go and refine a healing pill. If you succeed on the first try, I will take you as my last disciples."
The woman said expressionlessly.
The brother and sister were immediately overjoyed and quickly ran into the alchemy room.
After they were ready, the brother and sister took out their alchemy furnaces.
Qin Feiyang frowned as soon as he saw their alchemy furnaces.
Because their alchemy furnaces were also second-grade.
He turned to look at the woman again.
The woman's eyes were calm and she didn't say anything. She just looked at the brother and sister silently.
Qin Feiyang was puzzled.
She knew that the furnace would explode, but she still asked them to refine pills. What was this woman trying to do?
And Mu Qing and his sister obviously didn't know that a second-grade alchemy furnace couldn't withstand the burning of the Sky Thunder Flame.
Soon.
When Mu Xue 'er was refining the spiritual liquid of the third medicinal ingredient, the alchemy furnace exploded.
She walked out with a disappointed look.
The woman didn't say anything.
Mu Xue 'er walked to Qin Feiyang and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xu, did your furnace explode too?"
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Another moment passed.
When Mu Qing was refining the spiritual liquid of the last medicinal ingredient, the alchemy furnace also exploded!
"Come out!"
The woman finally spoke.
Mu Qing walked out dejectedly.
The woman said coldly: "It's not your fault that the furnace exploded. It's because your alchemy furnaces are too low-grade."
Hearing this, the brother and sister felt a little better.
The woman changed the topic and said again: "But …"
"But what?"
The brother and sister's hearts were in suspense again.
The woman said: "You've disappointed me."
Both of their hearts sank.
The woman said: "Your furnaces exploded when you were refining the spiritual liquid. This means that your control of the alchemy fire is not as good as Xu Ping's."
Mu Qing was a little dissatisfied and frowned: "Then when did Xu Ping have his alchemy furnace?"
"He exploded at the last step of fusing the spiritual liquid."
"If he was given a fifth-grade alchemy furnace, he would definitely be able to refine it successfully."
"Under the same conditions, if you were given a fifth-grade alchemy furnace, you wouldn't be able to succeed on your first try."
"So you've lost."
"Xu Ping is officially my last disciple."
The woman said indifferently.
Qin Feiyang was stunned and his heart was suddenly full of surprise.
Mu Qing took a deep look at Qin Feiyang and nodded: "Okay, I'm convinced."
He had to be convinced!
Qin Feiyang's alchemy talent was obvious to all. There was no comparison at all.
There was nothing wrong with becoming the last disciple of the Pagoda Master.
The woman waved her hand and the pagoda door opened again. She said: "City Lord, bring them in for the assessment."
After saying that.
She rolled up Qin Feiyang and the other two and flew to the top floor of the Pill Pagoda.
Soon.
The four of them entered a hall.
There was nothing in the hall. It was fifty to sixty meters in size.
On the opposite wall, there were only four stone doors in total.
Three of the stone doors had numbers.
They were number one, number two, and number three.
And on the stone door in the center, there was not a single word.
"Your talent is not bad, I'll give you the number two and three alchemy rooms."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to the number one alchemy room to find me."
The woman looked at Mu Qing and said.
"Thank you, Pagoda Master."
The two hurriedly bowed.
The woman said again: "Xu Ping, you're in the number one alchemy room."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
The woman glanced at the three of them, opened the only stone door without a number, and walked in.
The stone door also slowly closed.
Mu Xue 'er smiled: "Big Brother Xu, congratulations!"
"What are you congratulating me for? Although I've become a last disciple, my treatment is not much different from yours. "
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
To be honest, he really didn't see any advantage of being a last disciple.
"Still not satisfied?"
"Do you know that your identity as a last disciple is enough to make anyone bow to you?"
Mu Qing rolled her eyes at him.
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled bitterly. These were not what he wanted at all.
Suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something and asked doubtfully: "Why don't I see anyone else in the Pill Pagoda?"
Mu Qing said: "Aren't they still in the assessment?"
"No, no, no."
"What I mean is, doesn't the Pill Pagoda recruit disciples every five years?"
"What about the previous disciples? Why don't I see them? "
Qin Feiyang was puzzled.
"So this is what you're asking."
Mu Qing suddenly understood and said with a smile: "The previous disciples have all left."
"Left?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
"The Pill Pagoda is not a force …"
"Forget it, I won't explain it to you in detail."
"In short, the Pill Pagoda is actually a place to cultivate alchemists."
"Those who enter the Pill Pagoda can only stay inside for two years. After two years, they will be invited out."
Mu Qing said.
Mu Xue 'er smiled and said: "Big Brother Xu, your last disciple is included."
"There's such a thing?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
Others cultivated talents for their own use and to strengthen their own forces.
However, the Pill Pagoda did the complete opposite and cultivated talents for others.
Did the Pagoda Master have nothing better to do?
"Don't think about it. The thoughts of such a big shot are not something we can understand."
Mu Qing patted Qin Feiyang's shoulder and turned to look at Mu Xue 'er, asking: "Sister, which alchemy room do you want?"
Mu Xue 'er glanced at the second and third alchemy rooms and said with a smile: "Anything is fine."
"Alright then, I'll take a loss and let you have the second alchemy room."
Mu Qing smiled and then entered the third alchemy room.
Mu Xue 'er looked at Qin Feiyang and asked: "Big Brother Xu, when you're free, can you guide me in alchemy?"
Qin Feiyang was slightly stunned and puzzled: "Didn't the Pagoda Master just say that I can ask her if I don't understand? Do you still need me to guide you? "
"What a blockhead."
Mu Xue 'er rolled her eyes at him and entered the second alchemy room without looking back.
"What do you mean?"
