C113 This Doesn't Make Sense!
However, if you want to test your qualifications to obtain the alchemist, it will still be very difficult.
Originally, if you listened to my advice and followed an alchemist from the Pills Sect to familiarize yourself with medicinal theory, medicinal herbs, and other basic common knowledge, you would be able to become a qualified alchemist in less than a year.
Unfortunately, you didn't receive any professional guidance. If you were to test your alchemist so rashly, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to pass easily.
If you failed, you would have lost 10,000 points.
Have you really thought it through? You want to test your alchemist qualification?"
The old man looked at Ye Lan and said earnestly.
He hoped that Ye Lan could follow the Pills Sect's alchemist first. After a period of guidance, he would truly grasp some medicinal theory and common knowledge about spirit herbs, and then test his qualifications to obtain the alchemist.
He didn't want Ye Lan to take the ___ so rashly, so that Ye Lan wouldn't lose out.
"I have already considered it. Senior, please fulfill my wish!"
Ye Lan smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said respectfully.
"You stubborn kid, why didn't you listen to my advice?"
The old man helplessly shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Fine, if you insist on obtaining the alchemist right now, then you'll first hand over 10,000 sect points as collateral.
If you succeed, these points will automatically be returned. Pills Sect will also give you some Soul Concentrating Pill and Qi Gathering Pill!
If you fail, you will not be able to take back these 10,000 sect points!"
Finally, the old man added.
When the surrounding Outer Sect disciples heard that the right to take the alchemist must be exchanged for 10,000 sect points as collateral, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"It takes so many points to take the alchemist. No wonder very few disciples in the Outer Sect dared to take the alchemist."
A disciple of the Outer Sect exclaimed.
"That's right. Obtaining the alchemist is already difficult. If you don't succeed, the 10,000 sect points will be wasted and you won't be able to get them back.
Of course, it would be a different story if he succeeded.
However, I think Senior Brother Ye is a bit uncertain. Can he really obtain the alchemist's qualifications?"
Another disciple of the Outer Sect said in a low voice.
"I'm not sure. Don't come to a conclusion too early!"
Someone said.
Ye Lan nodded. He took out the disciple token card and handed over ten thousand sect points.
"Follow me!"
The old man said plainly. He turned around and led Ye Lan into the depths of Pills Sect.
After a long time, the old man stood in front of a pill refining room. He took out a Token and inserted it into a groove in front of the door.
The Token flashed and the sound of the lock loosening came from inside the room.
Immediately after, the tightly shut dark golden door slowly opened to both sides.
The old man stepped into the door, and Ye Lan followed closely behind.
This alchemy room wasn't large, and it occupied about a hundred square meters of space.
The room was filled with all sorts of medicinal shelves, and on the shelves were rows of rare spirit herbs that emitted waves of fragrance. This caused the entire alchemy room to be filled with a rich medicinal fragrance, and it was intoxicating.
In the center of the room was a three-legged Pill Refinement Furnaces that was a meter tall. Its entire body was a dark gold color, and it was unknown what material it was made of.
However, looking at its quality, it was obviously not an ordinary item. At least, it was a low profound rank Pill Refinement Furnaces.
Apart from all kinds of spirit herbs and Pill Refinement Furnaces, Ye Lan also saw that there were many special tools for alchemy placed in the room.
For example, there were weighing medicine cauldrons, measuring medicine cauldrons, rolling medicine pestle, and many other tools to aid in the refinement of alchemist. All of them were present.
"Assessing the qualifications to obtain alchemist is not difficult, but also not easy.
If you can refine Qi Gathering Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill, and White Rank Restoration Pill, these three kinds of spirit pills, you will be able to obtain the qualifications to enter my sect's alchemist.
At that time, you will be able to freely enter and exit the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect and head to the Pill Pavilion's herb garden to pick the spirit herbs you want.
You will also be able to obtain the points rewarded by the sect. You will be able to enter the Pill Pavilion's study and browse through the alchemy techniques passed down from generations of predecessors!"
The old man looked at Ye Lan and explained in detail.
"Are you ready?"
Finally, the old man smiled.
"I can start at any time"
Ye Lan smiled.
Qi Gathering Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill, and White Rank Restoration Pill were respectively Yellow rank and Profound Rank spirit pills.
The difficulty of refining them was not a small challenge for Core Formation Stage warriors.
Moreover, if one was not familiar with the ingredients needed to refine these three types of spirit pills, as well as the medicinal properties between the spirit herbs, the quantity required, and so on, it was very likely that the medicinal pill would not be able to smoothly take shape, and there would even be the risk of an explosion.
However, this was not something difficult for Ye Lan!
"Alright, you can begin refining! You only have three chances to refine three types of spirit pills. If you fail once, then you'll be considered to have failed!"
The old man's expression was solemn as he slowly retreated to the side and waited for Ye Lan.
Ye Lan turned around and went to the medicinal rack to retrieve the Qi Gathering Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill, and all kinds of spirit herbs that the White Rank Restoration Pill required. He neatly categorized them and placed them on the jade tray beside the Pill Furnace.
Immediately, he sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. He activated the Soul of the Blazing Flame and ignited the dark-gold Pill Refinement Furnaces in front of him.
Black flames burned within the dark-gold Pill Refinement Furnaces.
Without any explanation, Ye Lan sent all the spirit herbs that the Qi Gathering Pill needed into the Pill Furnace.
"This is simply messing around!"
On the side, when the old man saw that Ye Lan had actually sent all the spirit herbs that the Qi Gathering Pill needed into the Pill Furnace, instead of carefully weighing, measuring, and refining them one by one, he could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
Within his body, the True Qi was already circulating. He was constantly on guard against the risk of the furnace exploding, which would cause harm to Ye Lan.
However, in the next second, he was stunned.
Because, the dark golden Pill Furnace did not explode. On the contrary, waves of intoxicating fragrance were emitted from the Pill Furnace, making people feel refreshed and a hundred times more spirited.
"It formed a pill? So fast?"
The old man was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
The pill fragrance was born along with the condensation of the pill.
When the spirit pill was about to take shape, a medicinal fragrance would be born within the Pill Furnace.
Once the pill fragrance appeared, it meant that the pill within the Pill Furnace had already begun to take shape smoothly!
Originally, the old man was worried that Ye Lan would cause the cauldron to explode if he acted recklessly, but he never would have thought that the Pill Furnace would actually emit a medicinal fragrance.
He was an alchemist. When refining Qi Gathering Pill, it would take at least half an incense stick of time to condense a pill fragrance.
But how long had Ye Lan used?
It was only a short while!
"It's over."
In the room, Ye Lan raised his hand and made a suction force. The lid of the Pill Furnace Furnace rose up, and a surge of pill mist gushed out. After that, a round Qi Gathering Pill was put into Ye Lan's hand.
Ye Lan did not stop. He began refining the Soul Concentrating Pill. With the help of the Spirit Concentration Technique, the spirit herbs he needed to purify the Soul Concentrating Pill was much faster than the average alchemist.
Not long after, the Pill Furnace once again emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
As for the old man who was watching, the shock on his face was hard to conceal.
"It's over."
Ye Lan shouted again. He raised his hand and pulled the Soul Concentrating Pill into his hand.
In the end, Ye Lan only used a few breaths of time to easily refine the White Rank Restoration Pill and put it away.
After a long time, Ye Lan extinguished the flame in the furnace and put away the Qi Gathering Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill, and White Rank Restoration Pill with the Jade Bottle. He slowly got up and came in front of the old man.
"Please take a look!"
Ye Lan smiled.
The old man woke up with a start. His hands were trembling as he took the three spirit pills and examined them. It could be seen that he was shocked at the moment.
When he found out that in a short period of time, Ye Lan... Not only had he successfully refined Qi Gathering Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill, and White Rank Restoration Pill... Moreover, these three spirit pills were even better in terms of quality and color than the Qi Gathering Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill, and White Rank Restoration Pill refined by the other alchemist in his sect. He was extremely shocked in his heart.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would probably have thought that Ye Lan was using other medicinal pills to deceive him.
But that wasn't the case. These three spirit pills were indeed refined by Ye Lan himself, and every single one of them was a top grade medicinal pill amongst spirit pills of the same kind!
"Senior, how is it?"
Seeing that the old man did not respond after a long time, Ye Lan said with a smile.
"Have you followed someone else to concoct pills?"
The old man asked.
"No."
Ye Lan smiled.
"This is impossible!"
The old man furrowed his brows, puzzled.
Ye Lan had never learned the art of alchemy from others. How could he have such an exquisite technique of alchemy?
Could it be that he was self-taught? This was too absurd!
"I wonder if I qualify?"
"Of course I qualify!"
The old man said anxiously.
A mere sixteen year old youth already had a skill in alchemy that was not inferior to his.
0
The old man was well aware that Ye Lan's talent in alchemy was extremely strong. If Ye Lan could be nurtured by the top tier alchemist in the Pill Pavilion of Inner Sect , he would definitely be able to become the Pill King of this generation. He could even surpass the chairman of the Alchemy Guild in the Imperial City!
