After the second day of testing, there were three days of holiday. All the candidates could go back and prepare for the third round of testing in three days.
After leaving the testing site, Yan Guilai returned to Dongfang Jiayan's medicine shop and entered the secret chamber.
Originally, Yan Guilai had planned to continue refining pills and try to raise his cultivation level today.
However, as soon as he entered the secret chamber, Yan Guilai found that Yaf and Yanni were still cultivating with their eyes closed. It was obvious that they hadn't completely absorbed the pill energy in their bodies.
If he were to start refining pills now, the dense pill qi in Yafu and Yanni's bodies would gradually dissipate. For Yafu and Yanni, it would be useless.
Yan Guilai knew that as long as he asked, Yaf and Yanni would cooperate with him and wouldn't say anything.
However, Yan Guilai wasn't a selfish person. He couldn't let Yaf and Yanni waste their time just to raise his cultivation level.
After thinking for a while, Yan Guilai found a futon and sat down cross-legged between the two girls. He closed his eyes and entered a state of sleep.
In the next moment, in the karst cave of Tiantai Mountain, thousands of miles away, the python's eyes suddenly opened.
Looking around, the nine beauties were all lying on the stone platform around him. They seemed to be sleeping, but in fact, they had already entered a state of cultivation and were working hard.
Without disturbing them, Yan Guilai's mind moved and a white light flashed. His figure disappeared from the karst cave. When he reappeared, he was outside the karst cave, at the foot of the mountain, in the newly built ancient tree village.
After Chu Xingtian's show off, Yan Guilai suddenly realized the urgency of the situation.
When it came to refining pills, the Lingmu Emperor was only the ancestor of the Great Chu royalty, Di Tianyi's student. More than ten thousand years ago, the Lingmu Emperor was only Di Tianyi's alchemy apprentice.
Furthermore, although the Nangong Clan's pill concocting techniques had always been hidden, they had never lost their inheritance. Furthermore, they possessed all kinds of pill concocting tools.
Thus, although Chu Xingtian was still young, it was very possible that he had already become a qualified alchemist.
Yan Guilai had also thought about why he still wanted to enroll in Aoki University even though he had his own alchemy heritage.
Firstly, Chu Xingtian obviously wanted to learn the Lingmu Emperor's alchemy skills, and then compare them with the Nangong Family's alchemy skills to improve his own alchemy skills.
Secondly, Aoki University was, after all, the only university that could recruit students from all over the world at the same time. There were the most talented people here.
If Chu Xingtian wanted to establish his own power, then the best way was to enter Aoki University and become the strongest alchemist in Aoki University. Then, he would subdue all the geniuses and bring them back to the Nangong family.
From a certain point of view, this Chu Xingtian was actually trying to poach Ye Ling's talents.
One had to know that from Chu Xingtian's words, it was clear that the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race and the Great Chu royalty weren't as harmonious as outsiders thought.
The Seven Great Generals of the Human Race each had a large army in their hands. Although they were nominally loyal to the Great Chu royalty, in reality, the Great Chu royalty's hand couldn't reach the Seven Great Generals.
Over the past century, the Great Chu royalty had been thinking of all sorts of ways to insert people into the Seven Great Generals' side in order to seize real power and control the Seven Great Factions.
However, it was clear that all the efforts of the Great Chu royalty had ended in failure.
Thus, over the past century, the Great Chu royalty had basically only been in charge of politics and the development and construction of the Human Race.
As for the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race, they were under the command of Shui Liu Xiang and were fully in charge of resisting the Demon Race's invasion.
As a result, the Great Chu royalty was currently in an extremely difficult situation.
As a royal family, they were nominally wealthy, but their military power was in the hands of Shui Liu Xiang and the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race. This situation was something that the Great Chu royalty couldn't accept no matter what.
As a result, the Great Chu royalty took drastic measures and sent the Great Chu royalty's princes and grandsons into the Five Great Academies. They started from the very bottom and emptied the Seven Great Generals' foundations.
Faced with the Great Chu royalty's move, the Seven Great Generals clearly didn't have any good ideas.
They couldn't possibly say that they wouldn't allow the Great Chu royalty's descendants to enter the Five Great Academies, right?
However, the Great Chu royalty possessed the most brilliant alchemy skills and had the support of the entire Great Chu royalty behind them. As a result, how could ordinary people compete against them?
It was very likely that Chu Xingtian had already become a grade one alchemist. If they didn't make preparations in advance, so what if they won the assessment?
Even if the final result was that Yan Guilai was the champion, so what? As long as school started, Chu Xingtian could apply for the grade one alchemist assessment.
Once he passed the assessment, then … as the first person to become a grade one alchemist, Chu Xingtian would have the right to be the first to choose an alchemy apprentice. Furthermore, he wouldn't be allowed to refuse.
After taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai looked at Shangguan Qianqiu and said, "I've already memorized the Red Head Song. Next … should we officially start alchemy?"
Faced with Yan Guilai's request, Shangguan Qianqiu frowned and nodded. "Originally, we couldn't do this, but … considering that your flame is controlled by the Three-legged Golden Crow, so …"
Hearing Shangguan Qianqiu's words, Yan Guilai's eyes couldn't help but light up. He said with great anticipation, "So, I can directly start learning alchemy?"
Looking at Yan Guilai with a smile, Shangguan Qianqiu said enviously, "Speaking of which, your luck is too good. That Three-legged Golden Crow really helped you solve too many problems."
Nodding his head happily, Yan Gui Lai said, "Indeed, I understand what you just said. As an apothecary, the word 'refinement' is the most important thing. Thus... the control of the flame is the core skill of an apothecary."
Nodding with admiration, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "That Three-legged Golden Crow not only has thousands of years of experience in controlling fire, but most importantly, as a fire creature, they have an innate talent in controlling fire that humans can never match."
Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "Now you only need to learn the medicinal properties, pharmacology, and the composition of pill recipes. You only need to master the Yin and Yang of Civil and Martial Arts, Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Messenger, and other related secrets of alchemy. Then you can start alchemy."
While speaking, Shangguan Qianqiu took out a pill recipe and said with a smile, "This is a recipe for the Body Refining Pill. You can try to refine it."
Nodding excitedly, Yan Guilai said, "This Body Refining Pill, is it the pill that can make an ordinary person become a martial artist at the First Sky of Body Refining overnight?"
Nodding, Shangguan Qianqiu said, "Not only that, this pill can refine the impurities in a martial artist's body and strengthen the body. Even if a martial artist at the Body Refining Realm takes it, he will advance by a small realm. However … only the first pill is effective."
