"This, of course not. Royal Pill City has its own set of assessment methods. If senior wants to pass Royal Pill City's assessment, you only need to refine the corresponding spirit pills. For example, for Foundation Establishment Pill, a beginner level alchemist can refine one furnace out of five while an intermediate level alchemist can refine three furnaces out of five. There are also some spirit pills that other intermediate level alchemists can refine as well. "
"If you fail all five times, senior will have to bear the compensation of spirit stones equivalent to the spirit item. If senior decides to take the assessment as an intermediate level alchemist, you can receive a certificate for the Royal Pill Pill distribution. With this certificate, senior can enjoy great authority. And no matter which immortal city you go to in the future, senior's identity will not be doubted. However, senior wants to take the assessment as an intermediate level alchemist. Even if you refine one furnace, it will be regarded as a failure and you will have to compensate accordingly. "
"If you pass, senior will not have to pay any spirit stones, but the refined spirit pills will belong to Royal Pill City. Senior can live in Royal Pill City for free and the spirit stones required for your followers to stay in Royal Pill City will also be greatly reduced. But in the future, senior will have to refine a certain amount of spirit pills for Royal Pill City every once in a while. "
Royal Pill City's guard saw that Lu Xiaotian's tone was firm and did not dare to delay. He explained to Lu Xiaotian in detail.
"Bring me to the assessment place."
Lu Xiaotian did not say much, but in his heart, he was greatly impressed by Royal Pill City's system. In this way, no matter what Royal Pill City did, they would not lose money. The risk of failure would be borne by the alchemist and if the refinement was successful, it would be equivalent to winning over an alchemist.
However, although the conditions were a bit harsh, the alchemist still had to act according to his own ability. In fact, the certificate issued by Royal Pill City was a golden signboard. Many alchemists, even if they did not stay in Royal Pill City, would still take a certificate and go to other immortal cities, they would also receive more preferential treatment.
"Senior, please!" The guard stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.
"Intermediate level alchemist, and a late Jin Dan at that. This young master wants to see how you will embarrass yourself."
Zong Yue coldly snorted. Refining pills was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Every level up was not easy. Take Foundation Establishment Pill for example. Beginner level alchemists and intermediate level alchemists could refine it. However, the success rate of intermediate level alchemists was two to three times higher. It could be seen how big the difference was. Every kind of spiritual item was hard to come by, and every immortal Sect wanted to pursue the greatest benefits. Naturally, the higher the grade of an alchemist, the easier it was for them to be sought after.
Usually, Alchemists would have to spend a lot of energy on alchemy, which would delay their cultivation. Often, their cultivation would be lower than their achievements in alchemy. For example, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation had reached the late stage of Jin Dan, but he was still an Intermediate Alchemist. Even if it wasn't unprecedented, it was still very rare. Zong Yue had grown up in Royal Pill City since he was a child. He knew that there were a few people in Royal Pill City, but there was definitely no one like the one in front of him.
Zong Yue, as a Primary Alchemist, was well aware of the difficulty of becoming an Alchemist, it was far more difficult than cultivating. Therefore, when this black faced young man said that he was an Intermediate Alchemist, Zong Yue's first reaction was disbelief.
"He's actually an alchemist. This is going to be interesting. Fairy Ruan, why don't we go and take a look? It's been a long time since I've seen such a person. "Gu Yanjian smiled and suggested to the woman in green beside him.
"Since we have nothing to do, let's go take a look." Ruan Biru nodded with her sharp chin.
Xiao Yun and Xiao Heibao also followed behind nervously. Xiao Yun's knuckles turned white from clenching, and she looked at Xiao Heibao worriedly.
Xiao Heibao gave the girl an affirmative look. In fact, his heart was beating like a drum. After all, an Intermediate Alchemist's status was higher than an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator. For Foundation Establishment cultivators like them, it was also a rare existence. However, Xiao Heibao had an inexplicable trust in Lu Xiaotian.
After entering Royal Pill City, they walked through two bustling streets full of cultivators. Soon, they arrived at a square made of green bricks. On the square, there was a palace-like building. In front of the stone steps stood a huge golden pill furnace. On top of it, there was an ancient seal with the word "Pill". At a glance, it seemed to have fused with endless fortune. In the huge pill furnace kingdom, a sloppy old man sat on the ground, holding a jug of wine in his hand. He kept pouring it into his mouth, and the smell of alcohol was oppressive.
"Grandmaster, this senior is here for the Alchemist evaluation." The guard said to the old man.
"Which immortal disciple is it again? What a big show. You've ruined this old man's drinking mood. "The sloppy old man glanced at Lu Xiaotian," What level do you want to evaluate? "
"Intermediate Alchemist." Lu Xiaotian said. This sloppy old man's aura was only at the Intermediate Jin Dan level, and his aura was not very pure. However, to be called a grandmaster, he was obviously also an Alchemist. It was just that his specific level was unknown. Lu Xiaotian pretended not to hear the sloppy old man's complaints.
"Eh? Intermediate Alchemist? What an interesting guy. "The sloppy old man suddenly became spirited," What kind of spirit pill do you want to use for the evaluation? "
Every Alchemist was good at refining different kinds of pills. Usually, there were a few symbolic pills for advancement, and the requirements for success rate were slightly different. However, the most common ones were the success rates for Foundation Establishment Pill and Jin Dan.
"Let's use Foundation Establishment Pill." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Okay." The sloppy old man threw a storage bag to Lu Xiaotian, "There are five sets of Foundation Establishment Pill spirit items inside. Do you want to make some preparations?"
"Refining pills here? Can you provide a refining room? "Lu Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"Of course it's public. Otherwise, what credibility does Royal Pill City's evaluation have? I believe that with your willpower, you won't be disturbed by trivial things. Of course, if someone deliberately wants to disturb the evaluation and cause the refining to fail, they will naturally have to bear the losses. "The sloppy old man said as if it was a matter of course.
Lu Xiaotian was a little speechless. Encountering such an old man, there was probably no room for negotiation. If he really wanted to prove it, wouldn't it be fine to use a Shadow Recording Stone? However, if the other party was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. It was just refining Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Everyone, retreat three hundred feet away." The sloppy old man stretched out his hand and flicked a green stone. The stone blossomed with a barrier, wrapping Lu Xiaotian inside. It was just a layer of ordinary soundproof barrier. The sound from outside couldn't enter, but the sound from inside could.
Lu Xiaotian took out the various spirit items provided by the sloppy old man. There were five sets of Foundation Establishment Pills inside. However, although the Purple Radish Ginseng and several other spirit herbs were the same age, the actual medicinal power of each spirit herb was somewhat different. It was necessary to judge the spiritual power contained in each spirit herb in advance. Only then could one adjust the power of the fire during refining.
