Chapter 777: Alchemy Assessment, Initial Display of Edge

  "Refining elixirs is a breeze for me, as long as I have the finished product in hand. Anything below fourth-grade is child's play." Xiao Chen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

  He chose to refine the Three-Product Rejuvenation Pill after careful consideration. Firstly, the recipe for this pill was not a top-secret, and most sects had records of it, making it a common product. He had also seen it in the alchemy room of the Spirit Medicine Valley. Secondly, refining the Four-Product Rejuvenation Pill would attract attention from the sect, and he could use the sect's influence to find the Foundation Establishment method later on. Thirdly, and most importantly, Xiao Chen already possessed a finished Rejuvenation Pill, which was part of his spoils from the many storage bags of a certain Golden Elixir old monster. With these three points, he had no reason not to choose to refine the Rejuvenation Pill.

  He placed the Huichun Dan in his palm, and his divine sense merged into the golden seal to begin scanning the internal medicinal properties of the Huichun Dan. As a third-grade superior dan medicine, it also had the effect of increasing lifespan against heaven's will. The combination of the twenty-one spiritual medicines was subtle and complex to an extreme degree. Even with Xiao Chen's current divine sense cultivation, it took almost a minute to finish scanning it, and he silently memorized it several times in his mind to ensure that he wouldn't forget any of it before putting it away in the jade bottle.

  With a wave of his sleeve, he casually released a stream of spiritual energy, and the array method engraved on the medicine furnace instantly lit up, drawing in the external spiritual energy, increasing the flames, and suddenly there were rolling hot waves emanating from within.

  Xiao Chen's eyes slightly condensed, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the main medicine of Huichun Dan, Linggen Grass, Undying Flower, and Qian Nian Teng's three spiritual grasses into the furnace. The spiritual medicine instantly turned into a stream of medicinal liquid filled with abundant spiritual energy, rapidly merging together. Xiao Chen didn't dare to be careless, his divine sense quickly entering the mixture to control the medicinal power, combining it in the correct way at high speed.

  Time passed bit by bit, in the main hall of Luoyun Valley's peak, everyone's faces didn't show a hint of impatience. After all, cultivators usually meditate for several days at a time, so their patience was quite good.

  Suddenly, a low shout came from within the forbidden area, and there was also the sound of a spell being cast. After a brief moment, a faint but intense medicinal fragrance wafted out.

  "This is a sign of impending success in alchemy, I didn't expect someone to succeed so soon."

  "The small Huandan on the first product should be that woman named Liu Junru, I didn't expect her to succeed at once, it seems that she is not far from becoming a second-grade alchemist."

  "Luoyun Valley is indeed a place where talents gather, making people envy."

  Everyone was in an uproar, and sure enough, a moment later, the heat inside the seal disappeared quickly. With the sound of the medicine furnace opening, Liu Junru walked out with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully and said: "The disciple is lucky to have successfully refined it, please ask the master to comment."

  She finished speaking and unfolded her slender hand, a jade bottle quietly lay within it. She opened it and poured out a pellet of milky white dan medicine the size of a longan, a faint medicinal fragrance slowly emanated from it.

  "Hmm, the dan medicine is round and smooth, without any impurities, with a rich fragrance, not bad!" Yao Daozi stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction.

  Liu Junru's face showed a few points of excitement when she heard the words, but at this moment, another more intense medicinal fragrance came over.

  "Someone else is going to be a master!"

  "Who is it!"

  "Once a Dan is formed, it seems that several of Medicine Daozi's disciples are extraordinary individuals. Oh, naturally, the last one, that show-off who doesn't know life from death, is not among them."

  "Cheng Dan Le, is the second-grade lower Pei Yuan Dan."

  A figure flashed by, and Li Yue stepped out of the restricted area, holding a jade bottle with both hands and bowing respectfully. "Second-grade Lower Purity Cultivation Pill, please Master inspect it."

  Yao Daozi and Qing Yunzi exchanged a glance, both seeing the satisfied look in each other's eyes. The sect's grand competition had not yet begun, but it seemed that these few disciples had already earned great face for Luoyun Valley. After all, a second-grade alchemist was someone that some small sects couldn't even find.

  After another moment, it was time for Duan Huaming to succeed in his alchemy.

  Only within the confines of his seal, low growls and murmurs could be heard from time to time, accompanied by the sound of spells being cast. At the same time, a thickening medicinal fragrance slowly wafted out.

  "Done!" With a loud shout from Duan Huaming, a muffled sound came from within the seal, and just as everyone's expression stiffened in fear of failure, a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly spread throughout the entire grand hall.

  "The two products have been successfully refined and built on a solid foundation."

  "Indeed, he's worthy of being a senior disciple of Yao Daozi, and is truly no ordinary person."

  "From now on, Luoyun Valley will have one more alchemist who can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, it's a done deal."

  "The Clouds Valley is going to be greatly prosperous."

  Duan Huaming felt the envious glances from the crowd, and his heart couldn't help but feel a few points of pride, but on his face he maintained an expression of calmness and reverence, bowing down to the ground. He held up a jade bottle above his head with both hands and said loudly: "Disciple has successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, obtained nine grains of the pill, please Master inspect."

  Different levels of alchemists, using the same medicinal materials to refine elixirs, will have different success rates. For example, even if it's refining a first-rate Lingdan, an alchemist who can barely manage to refine one first-rate dan may only be able to produce five grains with one set of materials, whereas handing it over to a master alchemist who has immersed himself in the dao of alchemy for many years might result in ten or more times that amount.

  Duan Huaming has now refined nine pellets of material, which is already extremely extraordinary.

  "Cheng Dan Jiu Li, indeed extraordinary!"

  "It's fine, our Heifeng Gate's second-grade alchemist can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill and get more than five pills at most, I'd be grateful to heaven."

  "Ming Hua has achieved so much at such a young age, his future prospects are boundless."

  Yao Daozi nodded repeatedly, feeling quite pleased with himself, and waved his hand for him to wait aside for the time being.

  After a while, Hei Shi successfully refined the dan, but only managed to produce four grains of material, which was apparently somewhat strained. Compared to Duan Ming Hua, he was probably at least one level behind. However, he himself did not show any signs of discouragement, standing at the bottom with an expressionless face, occasionally furrowing his brow and revealing a thoughtful expression, clearly summarizing the gains and losses of this dan refining process.

  "Roar!"

  At this moment, a sudden sound of dragon and tiger roaring echoed in the great hall, instantly attracting countless people's attention. Only to see that within the restricted area where Ji Yue Wu was located, the sounds of dragon and tiger roars continued to emerge, with clouds and mist swirling around, vaguely revealing the shape of dragons and tigers. A slightly pungent and bitter smell gradually spread out.

  "The three elixirs have been refined, and their wondrous forms are now complete!"

  "The three-product Dragon and Tiger Pill was actually refined by her!"

  "How is this possible? She's still so young and yet she can refine a third-grade elixir. Even if she were a genius, it would be absolutely impossible!"

  "This woman can refine third-grade elixirs, enough to be considered the number one young cultivator in Northern Huazhou's cultivation world!"

  PS: How did it inexplicably drop off the new book chart... Tragedy, oh tragedy! I didn't even realize that with 30,000 words, it wasn't enough to stay on the chart for 30 days. And this baozi (novel) hasn't been calculated yet, but it only stayed on the homepage for a week, what a tragedy!! Please hurry and give me some collection votes to comfort me.
