C4378 Pill Refining Test
"Ah, ten pieces of immortal jade? Brother Chen, you are so rich?" When Wang Kun saw this, he was very shocked and surprised.
Chen Xiao's eyes indicated for him not to speak too much. When Wang Kun saw this, he tactfully shut his mouth.
After seeing the ten pieces of immortal jade, the disciple who received them was very happy. After keeping the immortal jade, he took out two tokens and threw them to the two of them.
"Take the tokens and see the gate over there. Just go in, the next one."
The disciple who received them pointed to the distance and said with an extremely perfunctory attitude.
Chen Xiao held the two bamboo tokens in his hands. There were only a few words written on it, and he exchanged ten pieces of immortal jade for it. He suddenly felt that he had been duped.
When Wang Kun saw this, he nudged Chen Xiao and urged, "Brother Chen, let's go, stop looking."
Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly and left. The two of them walked unhurriedly towards the gate not far away.
Wang Kun chuckled, "I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so rich."
"I saved some immortal jade in case of emergencies. I thought that I could use it in White Jade City, so I used it. A mere bamboo token actually dares to sell ten pieces of immortal jade. This Black Heaven Divine Sect's heart is quite black."
Chen Xiao cursed in a low voice.
Hearing this, Wang Kun hurriedly made a gesture of silence and advised, "Brother Chen, you should say less. We have already given you money, so don't be chased out. That would be a huge loss."
Chen Xiao's face darkened slightly. He turned around and glanced at the disciple who had just been recruited.
"The Black Heavens Divine Sect is no different from the rumors. Even the means of cheating people are so old-fashioned."
Wang Kun sighed softly, "That's right. Now that the Divine Realm is in chaos, the Kui Nan Province is also in chaos. War is everywhere, and everyone is in danger. They all want to think of ways to earn money and benefit themselves. They only want to protect themselves. The ten pieces of immortal jade you gave out just now, it would be good enough if five of them ended up in the hands of the Black Heavens Divine Sect. Most likely, they would be taken by the people below."
"Mm, that's reasonable. You know quite a lot," Chen Xiao agreed.
Wang Kun rolled his eyes and said, "This is not a secret. In the world, it is all the same. It is no longer a rare thing."
"Sigh, being greedy and taking advantage of others is a kind of unspoken rule. That is the greatest sorrow."
Chen Xiao sighed.
"Who says that it isn't? Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it. Brother Chen, as long as we can climb up, one day, we can also do the same. We can trample others under our feet and profit from them. Isn't that great? Haha."
Wang Kun laughed loudly, with a heroic spirit.
Chen Xiao was speechless. This person's thoughts were actually like this. It was too low-level. However, in the chaotic world, he had no other choice. He had to protect himself.
"Let's go and see what this alchemy trial is." Chen Xiao said.
"Alright, let's go and take a look. If that brat dares to lie to us, we'll teach him a lesson."
Very quickly, the two of them followed the instructions of the Black Sky Divine Sect's disciples and arrived at the entrance.
There were several disciples in the lowest level of black clothes at the entrance. They glanced at the two of them and shouted, "Where's the token?"
"Yes." Chen Xiao handed over the bamboo token.
The disciple of the Divine Sect grinned and looked at the two of them with a bit of a funny expression. He took the token and asked, "You must have spent quite a bit of Immortal Jade on this token."
"Uh..." Chen Xiao's face darkened.
When Wang Kun saw this, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Brother, please don't laugh at me. Can we go in?"
"Go ahead. After you enter, someone will greet you. Hehe." The disciple of the Divine Sect laughed.
"Yes." Wang Kun nodded and pulled Chen Xiao along as they walked in.
At this time, they heard a burst of mocking laughter behind them, which made the two of them very unhappy.
"Just endure it. Brother Chen, don't act out here. Otherwise, our ten Immortal Jade will be wasted."
Wang Kun advised in a low voice.
Chen Xiao was speechless, but he said, "It won't happen. I just feel that it's uncomfortable to be cheated."
Wang Kun shook his head. "It's fine as long as you get used to it. They are just trying to cheat you of your money. It's much better than trying to take your life. You don't know how many evil people have tried to kill you and steal your treasures on the way to White Jade City. If I didn't escape quickly, I might not have been able to come here."
"Yeah." Chen Xiao sighed in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of the female cultivator he had met halfway through the journey. In the end, she died in a tragic manner.
"You two, stop dawdling around. Hurry up and line up to wait for the test."
At this time, a female cultivator urged the two of them with a cold face.
"Here, here." Wang Kun hurriedly replied.
Only then did the two of them obediently walk over and line up.
Only then did Chen Xiao size up the situation in the room. A turbid smell of medicinal herbs filled the entire room. It was a bit pungent. There were a lot of people in the room. Other than the waitresses, there were also cultivators lining up to wait for the test. It seemed that they had come for the same reason as Chen Xiao and Wang Kun.
In front of them, there were two middle-aged cultivators, a man and a woman. They were sitting behind the table in a carefree manner, presiding over the test. It seemed that they were two alchemists.
Very quickly, it was Chen Xiao and Wang Kun's turn.
The middle-aged cultivator glanced at the two of them and said, "These two have three pill formulas. You can choose any one of them. The medicinal herbs are already prepared next to them. As long as you can refine a qualified pill, you will pass. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Understood."
The two of them replied.
0
Chen Xiao looked carefully. It was indeed three very simple pill formulas. They were the Blood Essence Pill, the Condensation Pill, and the Body Healing Pill. They were the most common pills for the Prominent Divine Stage. They were very common.
The refining of these three ordinary medicinal pills did not require much skill in alchemy. It only required an ordinary alchemist to be able to do it.
It seemed that the Black Sky Divine Sect did not recruit a powerful alchemist. They only needed a little bit of alchemy skills.
This was also good. He only needed to show a little of his skill, and he would not expose too much.
"Brother Chen, choose the pill formula for the Condensed Pill. This is the simplest one." At this time, Wang Kun whispered.
Chen Xiao's heart moved. This kid knew quite a bit. It seemed that he had some attainments in the Dao of alchemy.
Indeed, it was as he had said. Among the three pill formulas, the Condensed Pill was the easiest to refine.
"I choose the Condensed Pill." Chen Xiao said.
"Yes."
The middle-aged cultivator nodded expressionlessly. He casually waved his right hand, and the Condensed Pill pill formula landed in Chen Xiao's hand. Then he said, "Go to the side and collect two sets of medicinal ingredients. If two sets of refining all fail, then you will be eliminated."
"Yes."
Chen Xiao and Wang Kun walked to the side. After they received the medicinal ingredients, they were brought to a side hall. They stood beside a small pill furnace and began to refine.
