Chapter 242, Assessment
Time always passes quietly before people know it, and it has been almost a year since Li Xiao returned from the Western Regions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor most of the previous half a year, Li Xiao has been staying in Lijia Village, and while cultivating, he will also guide the cultivation of his companions. Since Hetian Ling started to take a double break, Li Xiao's cultivation speed has been faster than before, and it was originally expected that it would take six months to return to the Yuan Infant Stage, but he had already successfully broken through in the third month. And Tian Ling had already broken through in advance half a month ago.
After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, Li Xiao left Lijia Village with Tian Ling and went to Qingyunmen, which was also his original plan. After advancing to the Yuan Infant Stage, his strength will not be able to improve rapidly for a while and a half, so he wants to take advantage of the little time to improve his alchemy formation strength.
He stayed in Qingyunmen for more than a month, and in the course of this month, his alchemy improved by leaps and bounds. The problems that had been squeezed up before were all solved under the guidance of Qiao Renfang. After a month, Qiao Renmad told Li Xiao that he could already attack the high-level alchemist. This speed was not much slower than the Mu Linggen woman from Qingyun Gate who entered Qingyun Gate with Li Xiao. The two entered Qingyunmen at the same time, and Mu Jing had only just become a senior alchemist for less than half a year.
Although the opponent's strength was only in the middle stage of Jindan, her divine sense strength had already reached the peak of the early stage of the Yuan Infant. The reason for this is in addition to the long-term refining of a large number of pills, and the continuous consumption and recovery of divine consciousness. She has been staying at the top of Qingyun Mountain all these years and has never left, and her divine consciousness has been constantly nourished by the meditation bamboo. At the same time, there are two main reasons. One is because she is cultivating the highest level of Qingyunmen's exercises, which is specifically aimed at the cultivation of divine consciousness. Another reason is that she took Qingyunmen's unique pill, Qingyun Dan. This elixir, which can directly raise the divine consciousness to the Yuan Infant Stage, is a high-grade elixir, and it can only be rewarded when you become a high-level alchemist, except for the owner of the Wood Spirit Root.
The birth of every senior alchemist is a big event for Qingyunmen and even the entire eastern countries, every time someone in Qingyunmen advances to a senior alchemist, there will be a strict assessment, and only after passing the assessment can you get the badge and title of senior alchemist awarded by Qingyunmen. There are many alchemists in Qingyunmen who can refine high-grade pills, but there are not many who have actually obtained the title and badge of high-level alchemists.
A person like Li Xiao who was qualified to impact a high-level alchemist in such a short period of time had almost no exception to those few wood spirit roots in the history of Qingyun Sect. The main reason for this is the lack of strength. There is no way to support them to become high-level alchemists.
The assessment is carried out in the Dan Pagoda on the top of Qingyunmen Mountain, and the Dan Pagoda is divided into six floors in total. From the beginner to the divine master, each layer corresponds to a Danshi realm. Only by passing the corresponding layer can you get the corresponding title.
Every time someone tried to attack a high-level alchemist or a master-level alchemist, there would be a crowd of people outside the Dan Tower. Although none of them could see the situation inside the Dan Tower, they could only judge whether the people inside had passed through through the lights outside the Dan Tower. But that doesn't stop the enthusiasm of those out there. When Li Xiao entered, the same was the case.
As for the situation in the Dan Tower, Li Xiao had also been in it before when he was conducting the intermediate alchemist assessment, so he was not unfamiliar. But it was precisely because he knew that he was not very sure that he would be able to get by. Everything inside the Danta is illusory, yet real.
He is said to be illusory because it is an environment after entering. He is said to be real because although everything in it is an illusion, everything you do in it, everything you do in it, everything you do, will be exactly the same as the real scene. Even if you are attacked inside, you will still be injured or even killed. Of course, there have been no deaths.
The situation on the first two floors was different from the last time Li Xiao came in, which was also a characteristic of Danta. Everyone comes in in a different situation, even if they just go out and come in again. This avoids cheating and poor learning.
Although it is different from before, the difficulty of the first two layers has no effect on Li Xiao at this time. When Li Xiao quickly passed through the difficulty of the first two layers and directly entered the third layer representing the senior alchemist, the scene in front of him made Li Xiao a little stunned.
Li Xiao found that he actually appeared in the meeting hall of Jiujiangmen, but the person in front of him was Qian Yu'er, who had just taken the Soul Condensing Pill and came to her senses. At this time, Qian Yu'er was staring blankly ahead with empty eyes, and there were thousands of medicinal herbs on the table in the conference hall.
Seeing this kind of scene, Li Xiao also knew the topic of the assessment. However, for the sake of insurance, Li Xiao still checked Qian Yu'er's situation first, and finally determined that the other party's condition was exactly what it looked like after taking the Soul Condensing Pill, and Li Xiao did not delay. Quickly take out the medicinal materials for refining the Soul Rejuvenation Pill and the Soul Incense Wood from the pile of medicinal herbs, and then start refining.
After a few hours, a stream of incense wafted out of the furnace. Li Xiao hit the Dan furnace with a spiritual power, and the lid of the Dan furnace immediately opened, and a yellow translucent pill with gold and silver clarity floated out and was caught by Li Xiao. Then Li Xiao powdered that small section of soul incense wood, and then let it follow Qian Yu'er's breath into her lungs. Then he fed the pill directly to her.
After about a cup of tea, Qian Yu'er's eyes finally began to show a hint of brilliance, and slowly the expression on her face was no longer stiff. It wasn't until the time of a stick of incense had passed that Qian Yu'er finally fully recovered. At this time, a familiar voice also sounded in Li Xiao's ears: "The first level of the senior alchemist assessment has passed." ”
Then Li Xiao's eyes flickered, and when the scene in front of him was clear again, he appeared on a huge square. In front of him there was a table. There were three small porcelain vases on the table, as well as three blank jade slips. At this time, the previous voice sounded again: "Analyze the ingredients of these three pills, and calculate their proportions and record them in the jade slip." Time for an hour. ”
Li Xiao was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be an analysis pill. I've heard it from others before, but it's the first time I've encountered it. But fortunately, none of these pills are high-grade pills, otherwise he would not have been able to write them all.
Li Xiao didn't delay any longer, directly picked up a bottle, and then poured the pill inside into his hand. What appeared in his hand was a reddish-brown elixir, and the elixir exuded a strange fragrance. Li Xiao sniffed it carefully, and then used his divine sense to investigate it carefully, and after about a stick of incense, Li Xiao finished checking all the pills. After the examination, he had completely mastered the ingredients of this elixir. So Li Xiao recorded all the herbs he contained in the jade slip in front of the bottle.
Then he went to get the second bottle, and the second pill turned dark green. Li Xiao tried to smell it with his nose, but the pill didn't smell at all, which made Li Xiao frown. It seems that all the smells of this pill were neutralized or shielded when it was refined. Li Xiao was not in a hurry, and continued to investigate carefully with his divine sense. After about two incense sticks, Li Xiao smiled slightly, quickly picked up the jade slip in front of the bottle, and recorded all the contents he had investigated.
Then he picked up the last porcelain vase. This time, he didn't immediately pull out the cork on the outside of the porcelain bottle, because he saw a small formation on the cork, which was specially used to close the container, so that the materials inside would not volatilize due to the long storage time. This formation is used here, indicating that the elixir inside cannot be exposed to the air for a long time.
But that didn't stump Li Xiao. I saw that with a wave of his hand, a wave of spiritual power wrapped the real porcelain vase, completely separating it from the outside air. Then Li Xiao quickly pulled out the stopper, took out the pill with his divine sense deep into it. The pill turned white, and the moment it was taken out, if it wasn't for Li Xiao wrapping it with his divine sense and setting up a spiritual power circle outside, I'm afraid this pill would have begun to dissipate quickly. Even if it was wrapped in spiritual power and divine sense, Li Xiao knew that this elixir could not stay outside for more than a stick of incense, otherwise it would all dissipate. This also increased the difficulty of Li Xiao's investigation.
However, this time, Li Xiao did not plan to use his divine sense to investigate slowly, but after taking out the pill, he only glanced at it and then immediately took it. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it immediately turned into liquid and was swallowed by Li Xiao, and then he closed his eyes and began to experience it carefully.
Time passed quickly in Li Xiao's careful experience, and when there was only time for the last tea in an hour, Li Xiao finally opened his eyes, and then immediately took the last jade slip and quickly recorded it. When he put the jade slip down, the voice sounded in the sky again: "The three jade slips are recorded correctly, and the second level of the senior alchemist assessment has passed." ”
Then Li Xiao's eyes bloomed again, and before he could see the scene in front of him, suddenly a huge roar sounded behind him, and at the same time, a figure pounced. Li Xiao subconsciously rushed forward, and at the same time turned around and slapped behind him.
I only heard a bang, and the palm struck the figure behind him firmly, and knocked him straight out. At this time, the voice sounded in the air: "This person is deeply poisonous, find a way to treat this person, the required herbs can be recalled by recalling the medicinal effects and characteristics, and then these medicinal materials will automatically appear in your space bag." ”
As soon as the words fell, the figure that had been beaten out by Li Xiao rushed over again, and at this time Li Xiao saw the other party's appearance clearly.
