Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fighter in the Rookie
The main four veins of the Imperial Divine Dao of the Imperial Heavenly Palace have their own assessment standards, and what Lin Xiao wants to carry out is the assessment of the alchemy system of the Imperial Refining Palace.
At first, Lin Xiao didn't think about doing it himself, but he couldn't see that Gong as a master, since he couldn't see it, he had to find a way, poor me, a peerless genius, it was not very easy to use face here.
If it were in Dongzhou, it wouldn't be so passive.
Forget it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself.
Lin Xiao is not the only one to be assessed, there are four other people waiting.
"Lin Xiao, you are Lin Xiao. Someone next to him recognized Lin Xiao as a young man.
"Do you have any advice?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, there is nothing to advise, you are the one who defeated the ancient destiny, where do I dare to advise you. The young man suddenly said in a strange manner: "However, Gu Tian's Mandate is now a Great Breakthrough Realm and directly promoted to a Martial Arts Grandmaster, you were able to defeat him before, maybe it was Gu Tian's Mandate that made you." ”
"You're right. Lin Xiao responded seriously, and the other party's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't expect Lin Xiao to answer like this: "But what does it have to do with you? Or do you plan to challenge me?"
"Hmph, this is the Imperial Heavenly Palace, I am the Imperial Divine Master, not a barbarian who plays with force. The young man said stiffly.
Indeed, there are some warriors who can be called reckless and barbarians, because the battle of the master is more chic than that of warriors, and there is more than one way to go with more than two chips.
"In this way, Gu Tianfang is also a barbarian in your eyes. Lin Xiao asked with a slight smile.
"Nonsense, is the Ancient Mandate of Heaven comparable to you. The young man said angrily, and then smiled coldly: "It seems that you are here to assess the alchemist, strong strength does not mean that you can practice the pill well." ”
The other three didn't speak, and they looked like they didn't care about themselves.
Lin Xiao didn't speak again, but looked at the other party fixedly, his eyes were gloomy, and for no reason he brought a burst of pressure to the other party, an indescribable pressure that was almost suffocating.
"You...... You...... If we have the ability, let's compare and use the means of the master. The young man was tense and said with a vigilant face: "Let's compare alchemy to see who can pass the assessment." ”
"If you win, I will retract what I just said and admit that you have the ability, if you lose, then admit that you are not as good as Gu Tianfang. The young man finished in one breath.
Stone hammered, this guy is a brain-dead fan of Gu Tianfang.
Lin Xiao stared at the other party, and suddenly thought of something, you can get a martial arts reward for defeating and killing the enemy, so what about the others?
For example, alchemy, if the alchemy competition wins the opponent, is it considered defeated?
Seem...... You can give it a try, if you really count it, it will be equivalent to one more or even more ways to obtain martial arts.
So, Lin Xiao agreed, even if he lost, admitting that he was not as good as Gu Tianfang, then admit it, after all, in the previous battle of Luoyantai, he was able to win, it was indeed a fluke, because for some unknown reason, Gu Tianming hid his strength, and now, he is indeed not Gu Tianming's opponent.
A martial arts master, even if he has practiced the Seven Yao Imperial Method, Lin Xiao is not sure to fight against the ancient destiny, this guy is not an ordinary martial artist, he is invincible in the same realm, it is said that he is still in retreat, and after he gets out, he may defeat several martial arts masters.
Hearing that Lin Xiao agreed to compete, the young man's face was immediately full of joy
, He has studied the basic imperial alchemy method for many years, and has also participated in several assessments, although they have failed, but he has accumulated a lot of experience, this time, he is fully sure that he can not pass the assessment, so as to become a member of the alchemy department of the Imperial Alchemy Hall of the Imperial Heavenly Palace.
"It's the five of you to be assessed. A thin middle-aged man wearing a royal robe walked in with an expressionless face, and his tone was indifferent: "Follow me to the alchemy room, the content of this assessment is to refine the Imperial Divine Pill, and I will judge whether it is qualified according to the quality of the Cheng Dan." ”
"Gojindan. Lin Xiao's face moved slightly, and he found that the other four people showed a touch of joy, and seemed to be very sure, after all, among all kinds of pills, the Imperial God Pill can be regarded as a very common and basic pill, and it is the most basic pill used by the Imperial Divine Master, and it is the same as the pills used by other martial artists.
The alchemy room was very spacious, filled with bursts of the smell of medicine, mixed with incense, acid, burnt, etc., and there was a feeling of choking.
The nine alchemy furnaces are arranged horizontally and vertically, and each alchemy furnace is separated by five meters from each other without interfering with each other.
"You all know the Danfang of the Imperial God Pill, and choose the materials yourself. The emaciated middle-aged man said indifferently.
The other four immediately walked to the side of the herb cabinet and began to select the herbs they needed.
"I don't know yet about the Imperial God Dan Fang. Lin Xiao said directly.
The emaciated middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and the four people who were choosing medicinal materials also looked at it, and the young man even showed a sneer: "I don't even know about the Imperial God Dan Dan Fang, it seems that he is a person who has never practiced Dan, and this kind of person also wants to compete with his experienced self, which makes you lose doubtful life." ”
"You haven't practiced Dan?" the examiner asked rhetorically.
"I just learned the basic imperial alchemy method. Lin Xiao responded indifferently, and the young man suddenly sneered, there was no way, he really couldn't help it, because this time he won it.
A person who has just learned the basic alchemy method, a person who has not yet practiced the pill, actually wants to directly participate in the assessment, is this a lot of money and nowhere to spend?
That's right, the registration assessment has to pay for it, otherwise everyone will try it, and the Imperial Refining Hall will not lose.
And the cost of registration is not low, 10,000 taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels of silver, ordinary families can't take it out, so there is a sentence that the gods are all rich, but at the same time, there is also a sentence that the gods are all poor.
Isn't it a contradiction between the rich and the poor?
But this contradiction is actually very harmonious in the master, it is said to be a rich man, because the master is a way of cultivation that burns money, it costs money to learn the knowledge of the godmaster, it costs money to buy materials, it costs money to buy pills to assist cultivation, and it costs money to buy the artifact, in short, it costs money to spend money, so if you don't have money, even if you become a godmaster, you are the bottom one.
said that he was very poor, because the money of the master was used up, and he didn't have much silver tickets and silver taels on him, so he basically exchanged them for materials, pills, artifacts, and so on.
The registration assessment is 10,000 taels once, which prevents most people from fishing in troubled waters, and at the same time generates income for the Yutian Palace, those medicinal materials for refining basic pills are definitely not worth 10,000 taels, far from being worth it.
The examiner took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Xiao, it was the Dan prescription of the Imperial Divine Pill, and some simple precautions were also marked on it.
Lin Xiao quickly swept over, quickly memorized the content, and walked to a medicine cabinet to get medicinal materials while silently deducing.
The examiner shook his head, and didn't care, it was just one more person who wasted medicinal materials, but it was not a waste of medicinal materials, and the other party paid the money, which was enough for 10,000 taels, enough to buy ten medicinal materials.
Each person can only choose three medicinal materials, which means that there are three opportunities for assessment, and if they fail three times, they can only be eliminated, continue to work hard, and strive to pass the next assessment.
Lin Xiao didn't hold it up, and chose three medicinal materials, the examiner has been observing, and the selection of medicinal materials is also included in the assessment range, of course, the proportion is very light, the most important thing is to look at Cheng Dan, if Cheng Dan is good, the others can be ignored, if Cheng Dan is not good, well, the others can also be ignored, anyway, they all failed the assessment.
Looking at Lin Xiao's process of selecting medicinal materials, the examiner shook his head slightly: Novices, rookies, at a glance, you can know that you are someone who has not practiced Dan, otherwise you would not be so unfamiliar.
The young man who bet with Lin Xiao saw this scene and laughed even more happily, the kind that won steadily, and could even lie down to win.
"Rookie!" The young man walked past Lin Xiao as he selected the medicinal herbs, and gently spit out two words.
Lin Xiao ignored it, and walked towards an empty alchemy furnace after selecting medicinal materials on his own, but did not start immediately, but waited quietly, waiting for the others to start first.
Why?
Because Lin Xiao planned to observe how other people were alchemizing.
I am indeed a rookie in alchemy, I don't deny it, it's normal to admit that I'm not as good as others, but it's better to be just temporary.
It looked like Lin Xiao was staring at the alchemy furnace in a daze, but in fact, the divine power had already diffused, enveloping the four people, but these four people didn't notice anything.
"You don't even know how to open the furnace, if so, then admit defeat and get out of the way. The young man scoffed.
Lin Xiao still ignored it, still staring at the alchemy furnace in a daze.
"Don't be noisy during the assessment process. The examiner said expressionlessly, he doesn't care about anything else, anyway, he can participate in the assessment after paying the money, and success or failure is not his responsibility.
At the beginning of alchemy, the four of them burned the furnace, do you want to do alchemy, the temperature in the alchemy furnace needs to rise to a certain extent before you can really open the furnace and put in the medicinal materials, Lin Xiao has been carefully observing, the techniques of the four people are basically the same, they are all the basic techniques mentioned in the basic alchemy method, but their personal habits are different, Lin Xiao deduced and summarized while observing and comprehending the basic alchemy method.
The steps of burning the furnace, opening the furnace, and releasing the medicine were all clearly observed by Lin Xiao, but unfortunately, the four of them failed in the first refining, and after making out the residue, they started the second refining.
The examiner glanced at Lin Xiao, frowned slightly, he was still in a daze, and he hadn't started yet, what was going on?
"Are you going to get mixed up?" the examiner said secretly: "We must strengthen the registration review, so as not to mix in this kind of person." ”
"Candidate No. 5, if you don't start again, will be regarded as a failure. The more the examiner thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and immediately scolded him, this is his right as an examiner.
Lin Xiao suddenly moved, and slowly raised the fire, opened the furnace, and put in the medicinal materials, the steps were not fast, a little rusty, but there was no obvious mistake.
But the examiner shook his head again, if you want to pass the assessment at this level, daydreaming, unless you go back and practice a few more times, you have a little hope, just a little hope, how can alchemy be so easy, if it is really that easy, there will be more than that.
