Volume 2 The Great World of the Nine Directions Chapter 117 The assessment begins
"Alchemy is a technical job, under normal circumstances, you have to study for at least half a year before you can officially start refining some low-grade pills, but with me here, there is still a possibility for you to refine them into pills. โ
Hearing the words of Heishi in his mind, Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel a little nervous, Cheng Danhua Xiao Qi only had one, and he was still snatched by the three-headed earth spirit peak spirit beast, if he failed, he didn't know that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey could get another one.
The king-level Dan furnace placed on the bamboo table, the whole body is copper yellow, and there are no superfluous patterns on it, which is a simple basic Dan furnace.
This furnace is about the size of a small bucket.
"Xiao Qi, you can't use the internal force attribute to refine the pill, you can only use the external fire!"
So Xiao Qi went directly to a small bamboo forest behind his residence to find some dried bamboo, and split it into small strips.
"Chengdan flower is precious, with special medicinal power and efficacy, so other auxiliary medicinal materials cannot be added, otherwise it will affect its medicinal properties!"
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Senior, why don't you practice your hands first and refine some other pills?"
"Okay, you take out the rest of the blood-eyed python's fangs. โ
Xiao Qi did so.
"I'll teach you how to refine the Poison Pill! The effect of the Pill is to greatly increase your resistance to toxicity, and this fangs are a very good material. However, without auxiliary herbs, the effect will be greatly reduced, and there is no problem with using it for hand training. โ
"The first step is to ignite the fire and burn the Dan furnace red, this new Dan furnace contains impurities, and it is necessary to refine the impurities by cauterization. โ
Xiao Qi lit the small bamboo slices, stuffed them into the fire hole under the Dan furnace, and slowly added the bamboo slices to it.
It burned for more than an hour before the Dan furnace emitted a blazing mist, and it seemed that there were a lot of impurities in this Dan furnace.
"Keep burning!"
"Step 2, add water and bring to a boil!"
Xiao Qi added the mountain spring he had brought from the small bamboo forest to the Dan furnace and waited for it to boil.
It's all about preparation.
"Now pour out the water, leaving only a little bit of water... Okay, almost. โ
"Next, put the fangs in, distill the venom, and wait for the venom to melt in the water,"
After another half an hour, Xiao Qi saw that faint black smoke began to rise from the Dan furnace, and the liquid began to thicken.
Remove the fangs.
"Now turn off the fire, and rely on the residual heat of the Dan furnace to solidify the liquid. โ
"Alchemy is a very complicated process, from the order of materials, the amount of materials, the heat, the time, the technique, and even the need to use formations and exercises. However, you won't need any of these for the time being, and you won't be able to learn them anytime soon. โ
Finally, in the midst of anxious waiting, Heishi's voice sounded again: "Alchemy refining tools and cultivation techniques, all about being calm and impetuous are not impetuous. โ
Xiao Qi took two deep breaths, opened the lid of the Dan furnace, and slowly looked towards the inside of the Dan furnace.
"You can take it, the effect is about thirty percent lower, and the impurities of the pill are about twenty percent. โ
Xiao Qi felt the residual warmth of the Dan furnace and took out the poison avoidance pill.
After refining, the anti-poison pill is milky white all over, and the shape is nondescript, barely being regarded as an oval spherical shape.
"Alchemy is all about using means to solidify the elixir, and natural molding is like this. โ
Xiao frowned slightly: "Senior, if you eat this thing, you really won't be poisoned?"
"No!"
After receiving a positive answer, Xiao Qi no longer hesitated, and directly sent the poison avoidance pill into his mouth.
This elixir, which took three hours to refine, was mild in the mouth.
"Now it's the same as when you were cultivating, introducing medicinal power into the dantian. โ
"There will be some stress reaction, and the drug will last for several days until most of the drug is absorbed, and then your body's anti-toxicity will slowly increase. โ
"Boy, don't think that alchemy is very simple, you will know how big a science it is in the future. โ
"Now, start refining the pill. The steps are basically the same, but you need to add water to boil first to evaporate the residual medicinal power of the Dan furnace. โ
So, when Haoyue rose into the air, Xiao Qi finally succeeded in refining the Cheng Dan Pill, and he was so focused that he didn't even hear the movement of the Terran monks in the wooden building coming back.
In fact, there are other reasons for this, the cultivation of the Terran disciples is low, and the potential is also medium to low, although there is Elder Qiao Ke to take care of it, but in the Ten Thousand Races Academy, it is also very hard.
That feeling that everyone is stronger than themselves makes the one hundred and eleven Terran disciples become dull, except for attending classes and earning academy coins, they are like ordinary office workers, they are so tired that most of them fall asleep as soon as they come back.
And Xiao Qi, who took the Cheng Dan pill, was not as calm as them.
The moment he took the Cheng Dan Pill, Xiao Qi felt the changes in his body, and the blood in his body flowed towards the dantian, and the dantian was swollen and painful.
"Boy, you have to hold back, there will be more fierce next, I want to inject the aura into your dantian, otherwise with the slightest aura absorbed by your kid, even if you become a dan, you will be so weak." โ
Xiao Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, trembling all over, sweating profusely, and his face was very pale: "Come on, senior, I can bear it!"
Immediately, Xiao Qi felt an indescribable huge force burrowing into his dantian, and Xiao Qi only felt that his lower abdomen was squirming violently uncontrollably.
ยทยทยท ยทยทยท ยทยทยท
When Xiao Qi woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and the moonlight had begun to dissipate before it was dark.
The first thing Xiao Qi did when he opened his eyes was to look at his dantian area, and when he reached out and pressed it, he felt a hard object the size of a finger appear in his lower abdomen.
"Seniors, seniors!" Xiao Qi exclaimed happily in his mind.
Heishi's voice was a little tired: "What is urging, can you let me rest and rest." โ
"Senior, what's wrong with you?"
"Do you think the aura you lost is in vain? You yourself lack of aura, and you have been using my aura all this time, and you are tired of me. โ
Xiao Qi felt guilty and was silent.
"You kid don't need to be like this, cultivate hard, and get started with the Creation Xuangong as soon as possible, in that case, the speed and purity of your absorption of spiritual energy will be greatly improved in the future, and I don't have to be so tired. โ
Xiao Qi said solemnly: "Don't worry, senior, I will work hard!"
The Terran monk in the building disappeared again, Xiao Qi shook his head, looked at the old wolf, and followed the way he came, planning to go to the enrollment hall to have a look.
The first square was still crowded with people, but it seemed that it had entered the end of the registration, and everyone had already stood in an orderly formation of nearly hundreds of squares according to the classification.
Xiao Qi walked to the door of the main hall and was just seen by Elder Qiao Ke.
It should be the reason why he has not rested, Qiao Ke, who is at the peak of the earth spirit, looks a little tired, not only that, but the more than a thousand disciples in the main hall are very hard.
Qiao Ke walked to the door and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, why are you here?"
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "I'm idle, I'm thinking about coming to my seniors to see if there's anything I can do to help." โ
Qiao Ke and Xiao Qi walked side by side outside the main hall, stretched their waists and said, "How is it, did you sleep well last night? When I first came, it was normal to be a little unaccustomed." Did you go out for a walk yesterday?"
"I went to the trading market to take a look, and I also went to the Dandian, and a senior sister named Hanyu helped me get the academy card. โ
Elder Qiao Ke smiled: "You have already seen the Hanyu girl, that girl is diligent, and she will come to help in a while." โ
Xiao Qi looked at the busy appearance of the seniors in the main hall, and said with a smile: "Elder, look, arrange some things for me, otherwise it will be boring." โ
Qiao Ke pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "That's okay, the assessment is about to start, you can follow me to take a look." โ
Xiao Qi said happily: "Okay!"
Qiao Ke was the person in charge of this enrollment, and there were ten Earth Spirit Realm, one hundred King Spirit Realm, and one thousand Xuan Spirit Realm disciples who formed the enrollment team.
These thousand Xuanling Realm are actually all outer disciples who entered the Xuanling Realm three years ago, and their cultivation is not high, and even most of them are lower than Xiao Qi's cultivation, but after three years of enrollment, most of them started cultivating from the Mortal Spirit Realm, and they have been promoted to the Xuanling Realm in three years, which is already a great breakthrough.
After all, not everyone has such luck.
Before Xiao got up, he went to see the old wolf, and saw the old wolf sleeping in the beast's den, so he didn't bring it over.
"Dangdang!!"
The huge bronze bell rang at the entrance of the main hall, which immediately attracted the attention of millions of monks.
Elder Qiao Ke straightened his clothes, stood at the door of the main hall, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please be quiet!"
The sound of a bell clearly spread throughout the First Square and into the ears of millions of monks.
At the same time, there were already nearly a thousand tables set up by disciples at the entrance of the main hall, more than a thousand Earth Spirit Realm and Wang Spirit Realm each stood in front of a table, and several Xuan Spirit Realm stood behind them.
"Your registration forms have been sorted, so please pay attention to your respective assessment positions. โ
After Qiao Ke finished speaking, he nodded at a group of Earth Spirit Realm and Wang Spirit Realm.
Xiao Qi heard that in front of the table numbered one, the Earth Spirit Realm monk spoke loudly: "The No. 1 assessment position, the list of assessment disciples is as follows: Xue Qiandao, Liu Xu, Wang Dapeng, Xiao Mei, ยทยท
ยทยทยท
ยทยทยทโ
"The second assessment position, the list of assessment disciples is as follows:"
ยท
ยท
ยท
"No. 1009 assessment position, the list of assessment disciples is as follows:"
After reading the names of the millions of monks, it was already two hours later, Xiao Qi had to sigh, there were so many people!
Then Xiao Qi saw that under the orderly arrangement of the disciples, millions of monks lined up in turn and appeared in front of more than a thousand tables.
The assessment has officially begun.
"Senior, what is the main content of the assessment?"
"You'll find out in a moment. โ
Xiao Qi followed Qiao Ke to the No. 1 assessment position, standing aside and watching.
That examiner was an inner disciple in the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, and he was holding the list at this time, looking at the monk who was ranked first.
And Xiao Qi noticed that there were already more than a thousand disciples lined up in an orderly manner on the periphery of the first square.
The No. 1 examiner smiled and said, "Xue Qiandao, in the middle of the Earth Spirit Realm, two hundred and thirty years old, is extremely talented!"
Xue Qiandao was a middle-aged man, dressed in an animal skin coat, full of beards, and his bare arms were covered with scars, looking very proud at this time. โ
Qiao Ke smiled in a low voice and said: "Due to some special reasons, the age limit was lifted half a month ago. โ
Xiao Qi suddenly realized, no wonder there are so many Earth Spirit Realm and Wang Spirit Realm monks to sign up, and I thought they were all perverts who had not been encountered in 10,000 years, but it turned out that the age limit had been lifted.
"Someone!" two disciples suddenly walked out behind the No. 1 examiner.
"Take down Xue Qiandao!"
Xue Qiandao's face was full of astonishment: "Why, why, I'm here to study!"
"You'd better be caught, do it in the Academy of All Races, you will die a miserable death, if you are honest, we will only send you to the Court of All Races. โ
As soon as these words came out, Xue Qiandao suddenly sat down on the belt like a deflated ball.
Yes, he didn't dare to do it, otherwise there would be absolutely no place to die.
Xiao Qi was stunned, and the monks in line didn't know why.
"Xue Qiandao, who killed fifty lives a year ago, was wanted by the Ten Thousand Clans Court, and now, he is arrested!"
This kind of thing is not an isolated case, in a short period of time, the strength of the thousands of people who have been assessed has already arrested dozens of great evildoers.
"The assessment is successful, go to the side to gather and wait, the next one. โ
"Haven't opened the soul yet, please leave!"
"Next,"
"Bribe the examiner, unqualified, please leave. โ
"Next"
"Seventeen years old, mid-Xuanling, not bad, good, passed the assessment. โ
Xiao Qi understood that the content of the assessment was multifaceted, and the main purpose was the purpose of elimination, after all, only less than one percent of the monks were selected for admission.
"Fire attributes, good, pass. โ
"Fifty years old is the early stage of enlightenment, and it is not qualified. โ
Xiao Qi followed behind Elder Qiao Ke, inspecting the assessment positions one after another.
Suddenly, Jocco stopped.
Because, in this assessment position, a roar sounded: "Boy, why did you judge me to be unqualified?"
The examiner of this assessment position was only in the Xuanling realm, and he said very calmly: "Please leave! Please don't delay the assessment." โ
The monk was tall and big, glared at him and shouted, "Boy, you are not the peak of the Xuanling realm, I am also the peak of the Xuanling realm, why do you say that I am not qualified?"
"What's going on?" Elder Qiao Ke asked with a frown.
This examiner was also an outer disciple, with a grade of only seventeen or eighteen, and said stubbornly, "Elder Qiao, he has cut the line." โ
Elder Qiao Ke nodded, his eyes like a sword, and asked the monk in a deep voice, "Are you cutting in line?"
The monk pointed to the two monks behind him who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and said, "This elder, they are just two mortal spirit realm wastes, why should I cut in line?"
Qiao Ke didn't speak, just said coldly: "You leave, you are not qualified." โ
The monk was speechless by Qiao Ke's words, his face turned red, and then he shouted, "Is this how the elders of the Ten Thousand Clans Academy do things unfairly?"
This roar immediately attracted more attention.
"Oh~!, what kind of injustice do you tell me?"
The monk stiffened his neck and said, "First of all, I'll cut in line, it's a big deal that I'll go back, why do you want to sentence me to fail for the sake of two mortal spirit realm wastes." Where the hell did I fail!"
"Character is not up to par!" Elder Qiao Ke said in a deep voice, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Elder, I saw this Terran monk next to you yesterday, he is also the peak of the Xuanling Realm, why doesn't he have to participate in the assessment!"
Qiao Ke looked at him with interest and said with a smile: "This is the policy of the academy, and it's not that there is no assessment, but because he is the only Terran monk who has signed up this year, and I have already passed the assessment yesterday." โ
"I don't believe it! This elder, you are also a human race, could it be that this human race monk is one of your relatives? Otherwise, with the identity of another human race, even if he has cultivated to the peak of the Xuan Spirit Realm, I don't believe that he will be able to pass the assessment. โ
As soon as these words came out, many monks nodded in agreement, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
"Quiet!" Qiao Ke shouted in a deep voice, the decisiveness of yesterday's killing was re-manifested at this moment, and the scene was immediately calmed.
"I said that I have passed the assessment, that is, I have passed the assessment, and also, you slander the human race, I don't bother to bother with you, but since you have said it, I will talk about the assessment results in front of you. โ
Qiao Ke beckoned to Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi hurriedly stepped forward.
"His name is Xiao Qi, a Terran monk, twenty-one years old, at the peak of the Xuanling realm, this has already met the basic assessment conditions, right? After all, this assessment is relaxed, and even the mortal spirit realm has admitted a lot. โ
"Even if his cultivation is passable, but everyone knows that the potential of the human race is low, and it is absolutely impossible to reach the peak of the Xuanling Realm at this age, unless it is boosted by pulling out seedlings with pills, so his strength must be very low, and it is absolutely impossible to qualify. โ
Elder Qiao Ke's patience was about to be worn out, if he wasn't an elder of the Ten Thousand Races Academy, it was estimated that he would have broken this monk's body into pieces at this moment.
Seeing Qiao Ke's cold gaze, Xiao Qi stood up and said in a deep voice to the monk: "So, as long as I prove that my strength can be qualified, you will leave, right?"
"Yes, you and I are both at the peak of the Xuanling Realm, if I win, I will be qualified, and I don't want you to leave, after all, maybe you are the son of a big man." โ
After saying that, the monk glanced at Qiao Ke, and the meaning of his words was very clear.
Xiao Qi's eyes were full of coldness, and he said coldly: "Okay, if you lose, apologize, and leave." โ
The monk seemed to be very confident, looked at Qiao Ke and smiled: "How about it, Elder, he has agreed, you shouldn't dare to agree." โ
Qiao Ke looked at Xiao Qi, who smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Okay, it's over!"
With Qiao Ke's order, the monks of this assessment position suddenly vacated an open space of dozens of square meters.
"Terran boy, admit defeat, whether you take pills to improve your cultivation or not, the profound body of the Terran has reached the peak of the Xuanling Realm at this age, you better keep your life, otherwise, if I accidentally break your hands and feet, you will be wasted, oh~ I'm talking about which pills are wasted. โ
Xiao raised his eyebrows coldly, and did not answer, but pulled out the demon knife from behind his back, and his legs were steady.
Heishi's impatient voice sounded: "Xiao Qi, what kind of seriousness are you, how many times have you practiced the first slash of the Annihilation Thirteen, just take him down and grind and chirp." โ
The first slash of the Thirteen Slashes of Annihilation pays attention to no tricks and no skills, and pays attention to practicing an intuition of the knife, as long as it debuts, it must be the most reasonable angle and the most appropriate way.
"Suffer death!"
The monk rushed towards Xiao Qi, the momentum on his body exploded, but he also had some real skills, at least, Qiao Ke's eyes were full of worry, he was ready to save Xiao Qi at any time.
However, Xiao Qi's speed was faster, he had eaten Wufei Neidan, and in terms of speed, he was definitely faster than that monk.
But Xiao Qi didn't move, standing in place, looking unwavering.
"Die!" The monk's weapon was a Xuantie broadsword, a spirit soldier of the Xuan Ling rank.
However, he didn't know what the demon knife in Xiao Qi's hand was.
The black knife that the monk had slashed with all his might was not far from Xiao Qi's head.
At this moment, Xiao Qi's eyes were sharp, his steps were staggered, and the demon knife in his hand came first, slashing at a tricky angle.
The monk's black knife just missed the back of Xiao Qi's hand, and the blood-red demon knife slashed directly at the monk's hand holding the knife, directly cutting off three fingers.
The demon knife was returned to the sheath, and Xiao Qi retreated behind Qiao Ke with an expressionless face.
