Chapter 958 Alchemy Assessment

Three days later, Ye Chunyang arrived outside the Cangwu Immortal Sect Dan Pagoda as promised.

This tower is more than ten stories high, and there is a strong fragrance of medicine everywhere. Those gathered here are also wearing various alchemist robes. Ye Chunyang, wearing a thin black suit, walked in inconspicuously. After handing over the assessment token at the door, he walked in low-key.

"Where does this kid come from? He doesn't look like an alchemist. Could it be that he is also here to take the exam?"

"Fellow Taoists, I'm afraid you don't know yet. This person is a casual cultivator who has just joined the Cangwu Immortal Sect. I saw him registered with Elder Yu Chu a few days ago. His surname seems to be Ye."

"Rogue cultivator named Ye? This person looks familiar, and he seems to have heard his name somewhere."

"Hey, I'm just a casual cultivator. What kind of situation can I have? Even if I know some alchemy techniques, I'm just a wild man. If I dare to use half a bucket of water to make up for it, I'm just bringing shame on myself."

"That's right. Just relying on a casual cultivator with no resources and background to compete with us is overestimating his capabilities."

"..."

As soon as Ye Chunyang walked into the Dan Pagoda, he heard whispers in his ears, and many people looked at him with disdain.

Perhaps because of his low-key appearance and the fact that he was a casual cultivator, the alchemists of the clans did not take him seriously, and some even did not hide their ridicule.

Ye Chunyang didn't care about this. He found the assessment position according to his token number and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing his indifferent look, the alchemists from all the clans showed even more contempt. All of them were in the alchemy stage, and a few of them had already reached the middle stage. With their profound backgrounds, they naturally couldn't look down on him. A casual cultivator who was born in Yeluzi.

Moreover, the process of alchemy is not achieved by relying on talent and understanding. These alchemists are all built up by the forces behind them after spending countless resources. Their understanding of alchemy is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

After most of the people arrived, people continued to come to Danta. Among them were some outside monks and many disciples of the Cangwu Immortal Sect. The mental fluctuations of these people were stronger than those of ordinary monks. , the perception is also extremely sharp, which is the unique ability of the alchemist.

Ye Chunyang's consciousness swept through and discovered that one of the old men who was in the middle stage of alchemy formation was particularly powerful in spirit. He seemed to be a senior alchemist. This man sat blankly in his place, his face was cold, and no one dared to talk to him.

However, Ye Chunyang paid attention to this person for a while because his consciousness was different from ordinary people, and then he didn't take it to heart.

After about half an hour, no one gathered in the Alchemy Pagoda anymore. It seemed that all the alchemists participating in the assessment had arrived. Not long after, two old men in white robes walked in. One of them had a white face and an elegant temperament. There is an expert like Ruofang Wai, and the other is a thin Taoist priest. He seems to be thin and weak, but he is full of energy and his eyes are like lightning.

Both of these two people were in the late stage of alchemy cultivation. Seeing them approaching, all the alchemists participating in the assessment took the initiative to bow and greet them. It was obvious at a glance that they were people of aloof status.

Ye Chunyang glanced out of the corner of his eye and frowned secretly. Seeing the respectful attitude of the people around these two people, he thought they were the host of this assessment. He originally thought that Elder Mo would come forward in person, but he didn't expect that only these two people were sent. It made him slightly regretful.

"I would like to introduce myself first. I am Xiahan Wuji. This is my senior brother, Master Gu Feng. We are the direct disciples of Elder Mo. We are here to preside over this alchemist assessment on his orders. The rules of the assessment are as follows. You all know it, but I still want to reiterate it here. During the assessment, you can freely use it to refine the elixirs that you think are the best. We will select the ten best quality elixirs for the preliminary examination. As a result, these ten elixirs were finally sent to Elder Mo for review, so that he could personally judge the winner. "

The old man with a pale face and no beard stood at the front, introduced himself and the thin Taoist beside him to everyone, and then said loudly.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but whisper. There were hundreds of people participating in the assessment this time, but only ten elixirs were selected in the first test, and the remaining ninety people would be dismissed on the spot. It was not cruel.

"Okay, there are not many places for this examination. Elder Mo originally intended to bring only his direct disciples to Xuanhuang Mountain. Recruiting alchemists is an exception, so I hope you can cherish this opportunity. If you fail in the preliminary examination, you will be You will immediately lose the qualifications for the second round of elixir evaluation, so you can take care of yourself." The thin Taoist raised his hand to suppress the noise of the group of cultivators and said indifferently.

"Senior Brother Gu Feng is right. Although ten elixirs were evaluated in the preliminary examination, in the end, only three of the ten elixirs evaluated by Elder Mo will be selected. The person who refines them will get the same reward as him. Qualifications for meeting in person." The pale-faced Han Wuji also added.

"There are only three places!"

There was a commotion among the group of cultivators. Only three of the hundreds of people were qualified to accompany Elder Mo to Xuanhuang Mountain. This condition was too harsh. As a result, many of them were going to fail.

Ye Chunyang listened quietly and did not take the initiative to make any remarks. He just turned his eyes after listening to what the two said, and then sat there with a calm expression.

"Okay, if you don't have any objections, you can start refining the elixir in the furnace now. The assessment time is twelve hours. Whoever can refine the best quality elixir within this time period will be selected for the next round of evaluation. , those who have not yet completed the elixir after this time limit can turn off the furnace and leave on their own.”

Han Wuji waved his hand expressionlessly, and a beam of spiritual light hit a mechanism on the roof. Suddenly, a series of light beams as thick as buckets fell vertically and reflected in front of each alchemist.

With a "booming" sound, a furnace rose in front of each person. In front of Ye Chunyang was a bronze tripod with green smoke coming out of it.

Based on Ye Chunyang's experience, he knew without even looking that the green smoke was emitted by the material of the furnace. Although this furnace was not very good, it had the effect of isolating the fire temperature to prevent the furnace from exploding. However, when this furnace appeared, he sat there motionless, with no intention of opening the furnace to refine the elixir.

Many monks around couldn't help but wonder when they saw this scene, but no one paid attention to it. They all urged the spiritual fire to sacrifice the furnace. In a moment, the sound of "puffing" flames could be heard in the elixir tower.

Han Wuji and Master Gu Feng looked at everyone who had started to refine the elixir, smiled at each other, and showed satisfaction.

At this time, they turned their eyes and saw Ye Chunyang sitting still in the field. They couldn't help but frowned and looked at each other in astonishment.

Under his gaze, Ye Chunyang clearly did not move, but there were strands of heat waves coming out of the furnace, and there were flashes of spiritual materials, which were clearly signs that the furnace had been opened to refine the elixir.

"This... is this invisible fire?"

"This person has a very powerful spiritual consciousness. He can actually form invisible fire with soul power. Such a fire control technique is simply incredible!"

The two looked at each other, and both showed disbelief on their faces.

Other alchemists who were solemnly dealing with the assessment also discovered the abnormality here. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Ye Chunyang. When they found the invisible fire condensed by soul power in his furnace, they were immediately shocked. The alchemists from several clans who were still making fun of him before couldn't help but open their mouths wide, with a stunned expression on their faces.

Using soul power to refine invisible fire is an extremely high level in the fire control method. It is impossible for people with extraordinary spiritual awareness to comprehend it. This inconspicuous casual cultivator actually has such a powerful alchemy technique, which is shocking.

"How is this possible? How can such a profound alchemy technique be cultivated by a casual cultivator? What is the origin of this person?" A young cultivator in brocade clothes looked at Ye Chunyang with half-squinted eyes, and various different colors flowed in his eyes.

This person was also the one who took the lead in discussing when Ye Chunyang came in.

"Humph! So what if he has cultivated invisible fire? Alchemy relies on more than just fire control. Alchemy formula and alchemy experience are equally important. Even if this person is very talented, without deep resources for him to squander, how much can his alchemy technique improve? If he advances to the top ten, it's fine. If not, won't he be kicked out as well?" A man with eagle eyes and hooked nose next to him replied indifferently.

"That's true! Compared with our major clans, those self-made alchemists are all scum! I want to see what he can do?" The young man in brocade clothes thought it made sense, and he chuckled and ignored it.

Ye Chunyang sat quietly, staring at the alchemy furnace in front of him without any movement, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the low voices in the field.

"It seems that using the invisible fire to participate in the assessment is not a good decision." He shook his head secretly, feeling very strange.

In fact, according to his usual alchemy method, the purple gold holy fire in the holy pattern tripod must be the first choice. This spiritual fire is fused with the infinite wild fire, and it has great effects whether it is alchemy or treasure refining. But it is precisely because of this that Ye Chunyang feels that participating in such a low-level assessment to expose the purple gold holy fire is too ostentatious, so he switched to the invisible fire.

This alchemy method is a secret technique he learned from the Soul Refining Technique after he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. It can control soul power and turn it into an invisible flame. This fire has no attack power, but it is not inferior to some spiritual fires formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in melting spiritual herbs. I thought it would be more low-key, but I didn't expect it to be too eye-catching.

However, since things have come to this point, he didn't care. He immediately flipped his palm and several medicinal materials that had been prepared appeared on the side.

This assessment requires refining the highest quality elixir within twelve hours, which is a big challenge for anyone. Although Ye Chunyang crushed everyone present in terms of spiritual consciousness and Taoism, he should not take it lightly.

After placing the medicinal materials, Ye Chunyang closed his eyes and meditated for a while. His spiritual consciousness turned around the main cauldron of the Holy Pattern Cauldron. After a while, he opened his eyes again and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he raised his hand, his robe moved without wind, and several medicinal materials were thrown into the cauldron together.

There was still no flame in the furnace, but after the herbs were put in, they melted strangely quickly.
