Chapter 259
Dantu is the entry-level title of an alchemist. It is not a big problem to refine a first-level elixir, but the success rate is not high. If you are in a sect that is good at alchemy, such as Huangyao Valley, most of the alchemy disciples are only responsible for refining the medicinal liquid, selecting medicinal materials, etc. Work and status are not considered high, so Dantu will have to work hard for a few years before he advances to a junior alchemist.

Each person's medicine cauldron is neatly placed on the table in front of a dozen kinds of first-level spirit herbs. This round of alchemy assessment is mainly based on basic skills, and there is no requirement to refine finished pills.

Within half an hour, each person needs to select more than three kinds of spiritual herbs, and refine the medicinal solution and melt it in a furnace. At the same time, the combination schemes cannot be the same. .

"It is not difficult for Dantu to identify the dozens of first-level medicinal herbs, but one needs to know enough about their medicinal properties to select three non-exclusive spiritual herbs and blend them together. This is the first test. Picking the wrong spirit grass, no matter how skillful the tempering technique is, it will be useless." Ye Feiji said softly, explaining to Ye Chen and Wu Guang.

Spiritual herbs have different medicinal properties, if they are mixed and melted together rashly, not only the medicinal properties will be damaged, but even rejection will occur.

Ye Chen is not good at alchemy, and he still knows something about alchemy after years of exposure. Wu Guang doesn't know much about alchemy. He only understood the key to the assessment after listening to Ye Feiji's explanation.

Ziyu lit a clear oil lamp as a timing and ordered the formal examination.

There were a lot of people watching around, Ziyun was a little nervous for the first public assessment, looking at the table with more than a dozen spiritual grasses, his head went blank for a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do, and accidentally dropped a few spiritual grasses on the ground.

Ye Chen pointed at Ziyun, laughed out loud and said, "Huang-haired girl, she can't even recognize level 1 spirit grass, but she dares to come here to participate in the certification assessment, Tian Haozong really jumped the wall in a hurry!"

The assessment scene was unusually quiet, and Ye Chen's words were very harsh, making Ziyun's face even redder.

"Shut up during the assessment, and anyone who interferes with words will be kicked out!" Gu Wuxiu wrinkled two horizontal lines on his forehead and warned in a cold voice.

Ye Chen's sneering expression froze immediately, and he grinned in an ugly way. Where he dared to contradict Gu Wuxiu, he could only keep quiet, but his eyes were still full of sarcasm when looking at Yan Xu.

"Senior brother, is Ziyun okay? If she is too nervous to affect the assessment results, it is better to take her away as soon as possible, so that Huang Yaogu can't dig and ridicule her. Ziyun is only a teenager, how can she bear this?" Deng Yu asked Yan Xu through voice transmission , In words, he was quite protective of Ziyun.

Yan Xu looked calm, looked at the examination room and replied: "Don't worry, Ziyun will have no problems, and he will adjust and adapt slowly."

Ziyun picked up the spirit grass that fell on the ground, stood up slowly and controlled his emotions, and his red face gradually returned to normal.

Taking advantage of this effort, the other two have already selected the spirit grass and put it into the medicine cauldron, ready to activate the pill fire formation and start refining the medicine liquid.

After getting over the initial nervousness, Ziyun calmed down after being a step behind others. He scanned over a dozen kinds of spirit herbs on the table in front of him, and several combinations of spirit herbs melting and matching emerged in his mind.

After making up his mind, Ziyun picked out five kinds of spiritual herbs and put them in the medicine cauldron, and first put one of the Yeming grasses into the medicine cauldron.

"The assessment only requires three types, and she chose five types. Don't you know that the more the number, the more difficult it is? It's really broken!" Ye Chen didn't dare to make a sound, and chuckled softly.

The spirit grass is put into the medicine cauldron, and the pill fire needs to be activated to extract the medicinal liquid. There is a pill fire formation under the medicine cauldron, and the power of the formation is used to stimulate the pill fire.Of course, if you are confident enough in your own cultivation, it's okay to use your own mana to trigger the pill fire, but it's too much of a burden for a Qi refining monk.

To ignite the alchemy fire with formations, the alchemist still needs to personally control the details of the flame size and temperature.

The technique and experience of manipulating the alchemy fire are very important for refining the liquid medicine. Different spirit herbs have different extraction processes, all of which depend on the level of the alchemist.

It can be said that a deep understanding of pill fire manipulation and medicinal properties can only pass the test if both are up to standard.

Ziyun carefully raised the pill fire, and the juice of the luminous grass slowly evaporated and flowed into the bottom of the medicine cauldron. The pill fire slowly heated up and boiled, and drops of crystal clear medicinal liquid danced on the surface of the juice.

At this time, Ziyun had already forgotten about the tension and everything around him, and was completely immersed in alchemy, with a focused expression showing a calmness far beyond his age.

The medicinal solution of Ye Mingcao was completely refined, and Ziyun skillfully introduced the medicinal solution into the prepared jade bottle, and then put the second spiritual herb into the medicine cauldron.

"This woman is very skillful in tempering medicinal liquid, and she really came prepared." Gu Wuxiu's eyes are so vicious, although it is an alchemy-level assessment, but based on the detailed observation of Ziyun's tempering technique, one can know that her basic skills are not good weak.

A yellow-robed middle-aged monk on the right side of Gu Wuxiu nodded slightly in agreement, and asked with great interest: "In the opinion of the president, is this woman expected to be a senior alchemist?"

Ask this middle-aged monk named Zhong Yun, the vice president of the alchemist guild in Dingzhou City, and also a senior alchemist.

"It's not out yet, so it's probably not a big problem for intermediate alchemists." Gu Wuxiu looked at the field intently and said, "She chose the five kinds of spirit grass, two of which seem to conflict, but they can be tempered by the other three. It's no problem to plant spirit grass to neutralize it, and finally melt it in a furnace."

Based on this alone, Gu Wuxiu believes that Ziyun's level of alchemy is not weaker than that of an intermediate alchemist, and the title of alchemist is almost easy to grab.

Intermediate alchemist?Zhong Yun still gasped, he was really surprised when he saw the registration form.

Although Zhong Yun is a high-level alchemist, he is far inferior to Gu Wuxiu in terms of alchemy level and eyesight. Since Gu Wuxiu said so, then the strength of the woman in front of him must not be weak.

In Zhong Yun's view, even if Ziyun stops at an intermediate alchemist, his potential is quite terrifying, and he has never seen such an intermediate alchemist.

Halfway through the burning of the clear oil lamp, the essence of the five spirit grasses were all refined by Ziyun, and it was only a matter of melting them in one furnace to complete the job.

The other two examiners, one of whom screamed suddenly, was scalded by the liquid medicine splashed from the medicine cauldron, and lost the qualification for examination and was taken out of the arena.

Regardless of the injuries to his hands, this person just shouted in a daze when he was taken away: "How is that possible! The three spirit herbs I chose are obviously impossible to conflict, how could this be! How could this be!"

This person made a mistake in choosing the combination of spirit herbs at the beginning. During the melting, the medicinal properties clashed and failed, leaving only Ziyun and one other person on the field.

Soon, the other person also failed, and was dragged out of the field crying bitterly.

Unlike the previous one, his combination of spirit herbs was fine, but unfortunately he accidentally burned the liquid medicine while manipulating the pill fire, turning it into wisps of scorched green smoke.

It was only for the Dantu assessment, and only Ziyun was left when the three entered the arena.

Ziyun turned a deaf ear to the changes between the two, staring at a large mass of medicinal liquid suspended in the medicine cauldron with gleaming eyes, and placed her hands on the ears on both sides of the medicinal cauldron, meticulously controlling the pill fire to cook the medicinal liquid.

The medicinal solution tempered by the five spirit grasses dissolved into this large cloudy medicinal solution, which has not yet fully merged with each other, and will fall apart if there is a slight mistake.

However, under Ziyun's careful control, the pill fire enveloped the liquid medicine like a piece of gentle silk, constantly extracting impurities, and the five spirit herbs gradually fused together.

The volume of the large turbid medicinal liquid kept shrinking, but it became more and more crystal clear, and a medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

"It's done!" Ziyun looked delighted, took out the jade bottle and hit a spell on the medicine liquid, and put it into the jade bottle without leaking.
