"Senior, do you have any other questions?" Ning Cheng asked again when he saw the old man's painful expression.
The old man hesitated before saying, "Anyway, you're going to take the Pill Sage assessment, so you can refine ordinary Dao Pills."
Ning Cheng understood the old man's meaning. The old man wanted him to refine a few cauldrons of Dao Pills, and he didn't care whether he succeeded or not. The more ordinary the Dao Pills refined, the less the Pill Association would pay. In the end, the pill marrow would belong to the Pill Association.
"I heard that half of the Dao Pills refined during the Pill Sage assessment are my own. Besides, are the materials for the Purple Heaven Pill precious? This is the most ordinary cauldron I intend to refine. "Ning Cheng smiled.
The old man almost choked on Ning Cheng's words and spat out a mouthful of blood. If the Purple Heaven Pill was the most ordinary, then wouldn't the materials for the later medicinal pills be heaven-defying?
Since Ning Cheng placed the pill marrow on him, the old man couldn't directly say, 'You want to refine Dao Pills at this level? I want you to refine ordinary Dao Pills because I want to save some. ' He hesitated for a long time before taking out a pile of jade boxes and putting them in front of him. "Well, since you insist on refining the Purple Heaven Pill, it's up to you."
Anyway, as long as the Purple Heaven Pill couldn't be refined successfully, he would have an excuse not to take out higher-grade Dao Pill materials.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and waved out a pill furnace with the words' First Furnace of Chaos' engraved on it.
When the old man saw Ning Cheng's pill furnace, he almost laughed out loud. This pill furnace dared to call itself the First Furnace of Chaos? It was simply too shameless. No wonder this puny Dao Sculpting fellow dared to come here to participate in the Dao Transformation Pill Sage assessment. He lived in his own world.
Seeing that Ning Cheng wanted the alchemy materials, the old man suddenly said, "Wait, show me your Dao Transformation Pill Deity qualification card."
Ning Cheng looked at the old man in doubt and asked, "Do I need a Dao Transformation Pill Deity qualification card to take the Dao Transformation Pill Sage assessment? I have the qualification card, why do I need to take the assessment? "
Ning Cheng's words shocked the old man, but he immediately rejoiced in his heart and said, "Without a Dao Transformation Pill Deity qualification card, you can only take the Dao Nourishment Pill Sage assessment. Take out your Dao Nourishment Pill Deity qualification card, hehe …. "
Ning Cheng spoke up in embarrassment, "I only have the qualifications of a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Didn't you say that you don't need to be a Tier 8 Pill Emperor to participate in the assessment?"
This time, the pudgy old man was truly speechless. He stared at Ning Cheng for a long time before giving out a sigh and speaking, "I, Cheng Houtian, have lived to this day and finally experienced what it means to dare to think and dare to do. A Tier 8 Pill Emperor actually told me that he wanted to take the Dao Transformation Pill Saint examination. In terms of boldness and arrogance, if you admit that you're second, no one will dare to admit that they're first. "
Ning Cheng spoke in a light voice, "Not letting me take the assessment, does that mean that Senior Cheng wants to take away my Core Essence?"
"You didn't lose your Dan Essence? Hehe, Dan Marrow is indeed very precious. Even I need it urgently. I, Cheng Houtian, am not so despicable as to destroy your Dan Marrow. Even if I, Cheng Houtian, wanted to do this, the Pill Association would not allow it. Go and test for the Dao Transformation Alchemy Deity. Come back to me after the test, "Cheng Houtian said calmly.
Ning Cheng's tone suddenly turned cold, "You want me, a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint, to queue up with those ordinary examinees? If the treatment is the same, why would I need to take the Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint test? "
Cheng Houtian laughed, "You really are the number one Dao Sculpting Pill Saint in the world. Fortunately, you're not a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint yet. If you were a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint, I'm afraid your nose would be pointing towards the sky. Well, if you don't want to stand in a line, then you can take the test here. But if you want to take the test from me, you'll need to take the test step by step from Dao Sculpting Alchemy Deity. Otherwise, you'll have to stand in a line. As for the Dan Marrow, whether you take the test or not, the Pill Association has its rules. As long as you don't pass the Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint test, it won't be returned to you. "
Ning Cheng wanted Cheng Houtian to say this. Now that Cheng Houtian said this, Ning Cheng's tone softened, "Senior Cheng, it's not that I can't take the test here. But who do the divine herbs belong to, and who do the medicinal pills belong to? "
Cheng Houtian spoke up angrily, "The divine herbs belong to this sage, and the medicinal pills belong to you. What about it?"
After hearing Cheng Houtian's words, Ning Cheng's expression suddenly turned warm, "Many thanks, senior."
Cheng Houtian sneered and didn't speak. He raised his hand and waved out two sets of herbs, "The first test is to become a Dao Sculpting Alchemy Deity and refine the Explosive Spirit Pill."
Ning Cheng looked at the two sets of herbs speechlessly. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Can you refine another medicinal pill?"
He hadn't used up all the Explosive Spirit Pills on him, and he didn't want to use too many Explosive Spirit Pills. Why would he refine so many Explosive Spirit Pills?
Cheng Houtian ignored Ning Cheng's words and continued, "There are three sets of herbs in total, and the success rate is above 60%. In other words, you have to refine two batches before you can become a Dao Sculpting Alchemy Deity. "
Seeing that Cheng Houtian didn't have any intention of compromising, Ning Cheng simply opened a set of Explosive Spirit Pill ingredients and threw them into the pill furnace.
Cheng Houtian saw Ning Cheng's actions, and his face turned red with anger. Was this also called refining Dao Sculpting Alchemy Deity Pills? A moment later, his anger disappeared without a trace.
What was there to be angry about? The faster this kid failed, the better. That way, he wouldn't have to take out other herbs at all.
Ning Cheng brought out a white flame, and Cheng Houtian's expression changed drastically when he saw it. He exclaimed, "This is a nameless flame …"
The nameless flame wasn't really nameless. It was the sixth-ranked flame in the world. He didn't expect Ning Cheng, a Dao Sculpting Divine Emperor, to take out such a precious flame.
Ning Cheng didn't bother with Cheng Houtian. The flame rose, and the pill furnace was instantly filled with azure gas.
In just a moment, Cheng Houtian's expression changed again. He was a Dao Transformation Pill Saint himself, so he naturally understood that Ning Cheng wasn't messing around.
Ning Cheng refined the divine herbs in the pill furnace in a short time. In less than a third of an incense stick's time, the fragrance of the Explosive Spirit Pill completely spread out.
After another ten breaths, Ning Cheng sent 12 pills that exuded a powerful aura into the jade bottle.
Cheng Houtian couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and stared with wide eyes. The 12 Explosive Spirit Pills were all special-grade Dao Sculpting Divine Pills. Even he couldn't do better than this.
This meant that Ning Cheng really came to take the Dao Transformation Pill Saint test and wasn't messing around.
Cheng Houtian put away the batch of Explosive Spirit Pill materials on the ground and threw out another batch of materials. "With your level, you don't need to refine the second batch of Explosive Spirit Pill. You passed the Dao Sculpting Pill Deity test. Now, you're going to take the Dao Nourishment Pill Deity test."
His tone was calm, but his heart was already in turmoil. When did the Grand Essence Realm have such a heaven-defying alchemy expert? If the other party hadn't come to the Pill Association for the test, he wouldn't have known that there was such a powerful alchemy god in the Grand Essence Realm.
Ning Cheng secretly cursed Cheng Houtian for being stingy. He didn't care about the Explosive Spirit Pill. The second batch of medicinal pills was the Immortal Copious Pill, which belonged to the Dao Nourishment Divine Pill category. It was a healing divine pill and a very valuable divine pill.
As Cheng Houtian expected, Ning Cheng only used a third of an incense stick's time to refine a batch of special-grade Immortal Copious Pills.
Cheng Houtian didn't speak and directly threw out a batch of Green Li Scarlet Fire Pills. The Green Li Scarlet Fire Pill belonged to the Dao Transformation Divine Pill category. It was a divine pill that assisted fire-attribute main spirit roots in cultivating spirit techniques. It was also a very valuable divine pill.
Cheng Houtian watched as Ning Cheng skillfully refined, fused, gathered spirit, and formed the pills. There was no pause or delay in between. From this, he could tell that Ning Cheng had refined many Dao Transformation Divine Pills. The more he watched, the more shocked he became. He was the second president of the Pill Association. When it came to alchemy, he was the second strongest person in the Pill Association.
Even with his vision, he couldn't see through Ning Cheng's pill art. Whether it was Pill Enlightenment, Pill Condensation, or Pill Condensing Technique, he couldn't see through any of them. Not to mention seeing through it, he couldn't even catch a trace of it. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness blocked the pill furnace. Without Ning Cheng's permission, his spiritual consciousness couldn't enter the pill furnace to check.
"Ding Ding Ding" The sound of medicinal pills colliding in the jade bottle rang out. Cheng Houtian gave out a long sigh. This wasn't a Pill Deity who came to take the alchemy assessment, but a monster. The twelve fiery-red Green Li Scarlet Fire Pills were all special-grade medicinal pills. Where the hell did this kid come from?
Even if Ning Cheng took a little longer to refine Dao Transformation Divine Pills, it only took him two incense sticks of time to complete the Dao Moulding Pill Deity, Dao Birth Pill Deity, and Dao Transformation Pill Deity assessments. For the Dao Transformation Pill Deity assessment, as long as one had more than 30% success rate, one could pass. Even without Ning Cheng refining a second batch, Cheng Houtian knew that Ning Cheng's success rate was 100%. Not only was the success rate 100%, but the quality of the medicinal pills were also special-grade.
Cheng Houtian sighed, "Dao Friend Ning Cheng, I take back my previous thoughts of underestimating you. You are qualified to take the Dao Transformation Pill Saint assessment and also qualified to look down on those Pill Deities."
Cheng Houtian directly admitted that he had underestimated Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had a good impression of this old man. Some powerhouses generally wouldn't admit their mistakes.
"Dao Friend Ning Cheng, these are the materials for a batch of Falling Scar Dao Pills. One of them is a Dao Fruit, Falling Scar Fruit." Cheng Houtian took out a batch of materials and placed them in front of Ning Cheng. "Although I know you are qualified to take the Dao Transformation Pill Saint assessment, I still want you to take the Dao Moulding and Dao Birth Pill Saints assessment."
Ning Cheng nodded. He didn't care. In any case, the medicinal pills were his. This time, he wanted to refine Dao Moulding Dao Pills. Therefore, he started to be more careful. He even became cautious when separating the divine grasses. After all, this was his first time refining a Dao Pill. No matter how powerful the Mysterious Yellow Formless was, it would take some time to adapt.
Ning Cheng had seen Falling Scar Fruit before. A Falling Scar Fruit had appeared at the Grand Essence Ruins' Exchange Meet, but Kong Ning had sold it. To buy this Falling Scar Fruit, Kong Ning had even asked him to borrow some points.
The most precious material for Falling Scar Dao Pill was naturally the Falling Scar Fruit. After Ning Cheng put the Falling Scar Fruit into the pill furnace, the pill fire started to rise. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness instantly felt a faint aura of heaven and earth laws.
Ning Cheng didn't make a wrong judgment. The heaven and earth laws within the Falling Scar Fruit weren't too tyrannical. In fact, they couldn't be any weaker. However, these laws were very clear and would collapse at the slightest touch. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness hadn't even touched the Falling Scar Fruit when the laws within the Falling Scar Fruit began to collapse.
Feeling the laws within the Falling Scar Fruit dissipating, Ning Cheng felt anxious. What was the main sign of refining a Dao Pill? It was the laws. Once the laws within the Dao Fruit collapsed, it would be equivalent to a failure.
