As Long Bufan stepped through the door of the Alchemy Pavilion, a medicinal fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils. He could not help but feel a burst of comfort.
The Alchemy Pavilion was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs all year round. Although Long Bufan did not know how to refine pills, he, who often trained in the mountains and forests, was not unfamiliar with the various types of medicinal herbs and elixirs. From the smell, he was able to identify a few types of medicinal herbs.
The Alchemy Pavilion had a total of seven floors. Those who were not disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion could only move around in the public hall on the first floor. If they wanted to go up to the first floor, they must have a handwritten order or an appointment in advance.
This was because the sixth floor was the important place of the Alchemy Pavilion.
The second floor was where the alchemists taught their apprentices.
The third floor was where the apprentices experimented on refining pills.
The fourth floor was where all kinds of herbs were stored.
The fifth floor was where the alchemists refined pills.
The sixth floor was the exclusive place for the elders.
As for the last floor, it was a forbidden place for all the disciples of the sect. This was because the finished pills were stored there. They were extremely precious and were specially guarded by black-robed deacons. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
Long Bufan quickly found the staircase leading to the upper floor. There were two young men in alchemy apprentices guarding there, so he walked over.
Seeing someone coming, one of the apprentices immediately walked up to Long Bufan and shouted, "Who are you?"
"My name is Long Bufan. I am here to look for Elder Shi under the order of Palace Master Wang Yi. Senior brother, may I ask where Elder Shi is?" Long Bufan said with a smile. His behavior was harmonious and polite without any pretense. He then took out the jade slip that represented his sect's identity from his storage bag.
This alchemy apprentice had a mature appearance and seemed to be a few years older than Long Bufan. At this moment, a wisp of doubt flashed across his face. He walked closer to Long Bufan and took the jade slip. After confirming it, he revealed a smile and said, "So it's junior brother Long. Elder Shi just instructed me. I didn't expect you to come so early. Come with me."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Long Bufan smiled warmly, and then he followed the alchemy apprentice up the stairs. However, this staircase was obviously just for decoration. There was a teleportation formation set up inside, and it could lead directly to any floor of the pavilion.
Long Bufan and the Dantian cultivator were sent to the sixth level of the Alchemy Pavilion as light surged within the Runic Array. The Teleportation Array was located at the center of this level.
Walking out of the Teleportation Formation, rows of Pill Refinement Rooms appeared in front of him. They were divided into four regions, and each region was divided into different levels. They were divided into four colors, red, yellow, blue, and purple. Each color represented a region.
"Junior Brother Long, Elder Shi is in the third alchemy room in the purple area. At this time, he should be teaching alchemy to the senior brothers and sisters who have reached the level of alchemist." The alchemist apprentice politely led the way for Long Bufan. When the word alchemist was mentioned, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes.
This was because only disciples who had advanced to the level of alchemist would have the honor of being taught by an elder. As for these so-called alchemist apprentices, in layman's terms, they were just people who did odd jobs.
However, the process of becoming an alchemist was incomparably difficult. It was extremely difficult to nurture an alchemist, especially an elder who could reach the level of an Alchemist King. They needed to spend countless heavenly and earthly treasures of the sect and experience countless alchemy formulas in order to accumulate rich alchemy experience.
Moreover, this did not guarantee a one hundred percent success rate every time they refined a pill.
Hence, as an alchemist apprentice, he had to at least familiarize himself with the attributes of various medicinal herbs, as well as memorize a large amount of alchemy procedures. He also had to assist alchemists in refining pills, gaining experience from the refining process. Only after several years of accumulation could he take the alchemist examination.
