Chapter 122, Dancheng
Sitting on the assessment seat, Lu Yun's gaze fell on the cubicle in front of him.
At this time, there were already a small number of people who had already completed the refining of the elixir and were sitting in the small cubicle, waiting for the time to end.
Most of them were condensing pills, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
There are also some people who are hurriedly handling the elixir that has turned into charred black and re-refining the pill.
As the time for the assessment was getting closer and closer, they were so busy that they were sweating profusely.
Seeing those who were so busy, a rare trace of sympathy flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Hey, although two copies of materials are provided, there are very few materials that are actually used in a limited time." Di Ruoling sighed slightly.
Among these people, if they were in a normal state, they would not have much trouble refining a qualified elixir.
But in this case, there are a lot of eyes watching, and there are competitors around, and the mood is naturally affected.
Alchemists, the most taboo thing is to have mood fluctuations, especially those alchemists who are not of high level, if they don't pay attention to it, a furnace of pills will be scrapped.
Soon, there was not a drop of sand left in the huge hourglass.
"Boom!"
The middle-aged female alchemist on the judges' seat struck a heavy hammer.
After hearing this voice, everyone in the cubicle stopped their movements, and at the same time, someone took out the finished elixir of the examiners in each cubicle, and finally presented it to the judges' bench and handed it over to the seven judges for appraisal one by one.
Lu Yun noticed that the people in the small cubicle had uncertain expressions on their faces.
Among them, those examiners who had not succeeded in refining the elixir had a look of disappointment on their faces, and their whole people looked decadent, as if they had received some kind of huge blow.
And the assessors who successfully refined the elixir had both expectation and nervousness, as if they were waiting for something.
Seeing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but tilt his head and ask Di Ruoling beside him, "Since they have already refined the finished elixir, why do they still look nervous?" ”
glanced at Lu Yun in surprise, as if he was wondering why the other party didn't even know this bit of common sense.
"Even if the finished pill is successfully refined, if the quality does not meet the requirements, it is not eligible to join the Danshi Alliance, at most, it is to obtain the Danshi certification and become a first-class alchemist from now on."
"In this case, you won't be able to enjoy the power of a member of the Danshi Alliance."
"Yes, that's it."
Di Ruoling continued, "However, this also has the advantage of not having to bear obligations, and you can also choose to cooperate with the Danshi Alliance in other ways. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yun's eyes lit up and asked, "Can you get Dan Fang or Spirit Grass Elixir from the Danshi Alliance?" ”
Di Ruoling glanced at Lu Yun and chuckled: "The Danshi Alliance is very strict about the Dan Fang, and it is easy not to let the Dan Fang outflow, unless it is a special case. ”
Seeing that Lu Yun wanted to continue asking, she continued: "Don't ask me about any special circumstances, because I don't know either. ”
Seeing this, Lu Yun had no choice but to smile helplessly.
At this time, the seven judges had already made an evaluation of the pill.
Of the forty examiners, a total of twenty-nine passed the assessment, and since then they have obtained the status of a first-class alchemist.
Of these, fifteen were eligible to join the alliance.
In this regard, it is natural that some people are happy and some are sad.
However, this has nothing to do with Lu Yun anymore, at most he is just a little emotional, and there is not much fluctuation in his heart.
After the last batch of examiners left one by one, one of the judges said:
"Next, the No. 1 examiner enters the No. 1 pavilion, and the other assesses enter in order!"
Lu Yun touched the black number plate in his hand, then got up and left the seat and walked to the cubicle.
His eyes first looked at the alchemy furnace.
This is a small and delicate Dan furnace, slightly smaller than the one he bought before, the whole body is cyan, and there is still a slight scorched black residue inside the Dan furnace, which seems to be the record left by the previous examiner.
In addition to the different colors, this alchemy furnace is even more simple, there is no other space inside, and the medicinal liquid after refining and purification must be taken out, and it can only be fused after all the purification is completed.
On the small table on the side, there are delicate jade bottles, which are used to hold medicinal liquids and pills.
In addition to this, there is also a piece of parchment, which was placed in advance by Danfang and is not allowed to be flipped through now.
On the other side, there are small piles of elixirs, and there are many types.
In addition to this, there are other utensils and materials that assist in alchemy, and so on.
"Tsk, old man Deng, if that kid from Yunhui doesn't come, he really won't be able to catch up."
On the delegates' seat, Di Qing looked at Deng He on the side and smiled playfully.
"I'm not in a hurry, you old guy is in a hurry." Although Deng He said so, he was a little anxious in his heart, and scolded secretly: "Stinky boy, if you don't arrive, I will definitely open your ass when I go back." ”
Seeing that the two old guys next to him had a tendency to quarrel again, Jiang Wen shook his head slightly, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the No. 1 compartment, and he happened to see Lu Yun.
Seeing that such a young boy actually participated in the alchemist assessment, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and began to look carefully.
Just a moment later, he was taken aback, and whispered softly: "This little guy is so demonic, at least he is also true qi nine refining!" ”
"Haha, yes, this little guy was found by me outside, I felt very uneasy at first sight, and when I looked at it carefully, I was also shocked by this old man, the foundation is extremely solid, at least it is the ninth refining of true qi, or even ten refinements."
Di Qing said with a smile: "The problem is that this little guy has such strength at such an age, if he still passes the alchemist assessment, it will be a bit terrifying." ”
Even Na Deng He was attracted over, and when his gaze stayed on Lu Yun for a while, his gaze was complicated: "It's not just terrifying, it's just demonic." ”
"Old Jiang, could this little guy be a disciple of the Martial Academy, quietly running to the Danshi Alliance to join in the fun." Di Qing suddenly made a ghost.
Jiang Wen recalled for a while, and then said: "In our Martial Academy, there are only three people who are more prominent in this age at present, Bai Haoxuan, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, but they should not have reached the ninth or tenth refining of true qi at present. ”
"Tsk, what a coincidence, this little guy's name is also Lu Yun. Old Jiang, don't you care much about the genius disciples of your Martial Academy, this person is appearing in front of you in the open, and you don't even know it. Di Qing said with a sigh of relief, and the old man's face was full of banter.
"Lu Yun?" Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and then his old face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he scolded with a smile: "These juniors always like to hide, and they usually don't see people at all in the martial arts academy. ”
"Come on, can you find a good excuse. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that most of the time I'm either cultivating or outside, and I rarely deal with the disciples of the Martial Academy. ”
"Old man Deng is right, you old ginger usually belong to the kind of idle person, just like this time, if it wasn't for a forced task, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you."
Di Qing and Deng He united at this time, mercilessly criticizing Jiang Wen and exposing the truth.
Lu Yun was cleaning up the residue in the alchemy furnace at this time, and he didn't know that he had been completely exposed to the eyes of the three old guys.
But even if he knew, it didn't matter, he didn't think about hiding it, otherwise he wouldn't use his real name in a big way.
"I'm not late!"
At this moment, a slightly lazy voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and nearly half of the eyes were attracted to it.
This is a young man in a white robe, the whole person does not look very energetic, the black hair on one head is not taken care of, lazily hanging on the back, but a pair of eyes are extremely clear, like a cold spring on a snowy mountain, there is no impurity in sight, and some handsome faces also have a faint smile.
"You stinky boy, don't hurry up and get in place, the assessment will start soon." Deng He on the representative table was extremely angry, and the smile that could flow from his eyes immediately betrayed him completely.
"Ann, Ann."
Deng Yunhui arched his hand slightly, and walked towards the cubicle, and when he passed in front of Di Ruoling's cubicle, he said with a smile: "Sister Ruolin, I haven't seen you for a while, you have become more beautiful." ”
"Phew...... Get out of here, I don't know you. Di Ruoling waved his hand with some disgust.
"Sister Ruoling has not only become more beautiful, but even her heart has become more cruel, and now she actually says that she doesn't know me, it's really cruel." Deng Yunhui continued to tease and did not plan to leave.
"The assessment begins, please enter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be regarded as an automatic abandonment." On the judges' bench, a faint voice came out.
"Heh, if you have the ability to continue, continue to rely on it and don't leave." Di Ruoling blinked, defiantly.
"Hehe, there's a chance to bother again."
Deng Yunhui ran into a cubicle where no one was around.
"The assessment begins now."
As soon as the words fell, a staff member flipped the hourglass over, and the sand began to flow loudly.
Lu Yun's first time was to look at the Danfang on the table.
This pill turned out to be a quenching pill, a pill he had used before, which surprised him a little.
Holding the Quenching Pill Formula, Lu Yun looked up at the other people around him, and found that the people around him started to act one by one, but judging from the elixir they selected, not all of them had the same Pill Formula.
Shaking his head lightly, Lu Yun began to select the elixir according to Dan Fang's requirements.
There are dozens of elixirs in front of him, and the four materials for refining the Quenching Pill are selected from them, which is the first assessment and the easiest assessment.
Lu Yun had read books in the library for a while, and he had long memorized the characteristics and attributes of various spirit grasses, spirit fruits, and other elixirs, and this first step could not help him at all.
As for the Quenching Pill, although he had not refined it, he had already raised the alchemy technique to the second level, so he naturally would not take it seriously.
It can be said that now he is a real second-grade alchemist as long as he refines a second-grade pill.
And the one who trapped him in this step was Dan Fang.
Collecting his thoughts, as soon as Lu Yun's mind moved, the pile of elixirs began to stir, and soon four elixirs landed on the table steadily.
"This little guy has amazing control." Lu Yun's operation immediately attracted Di Qing's attention.
If it weren't for the fact that his control of true qi had reached the point of perfection, he would not have been able to quickly and accurately find the four elixirs he needed among the many elixirs like Lu Yun.
Moreover, looking at it, all the other assessors were slowly rummaging in the elixir pile, and they were not like Lu Yun at all, with a slight movement of their minds, they accurately found out the elixir needed on the pill.
"It seems that this little guy is sure to pass the assessment." Deng He sighed.
As for Jiang Wen on the side, he stared at Lu Yun thoughtfully.
On the side, Di Ruoling, who was only separated by a wall from Lu Yun, saw that Lu Yun didn't need to use his hands, so he easily found the target elixir from the elixir pile, and his beautiful eyes widened, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"This younger brother Lu Yun looks a little unsimple, interesting." With a faint smile, she also began to select the elixir according to the Danfang.
Alchemy is a technical job, and the fast selection of elixir does not mean that the speed of alchemy is fast, nor does it mean that the quality of the refined elixir is high.
The first point is not as good as Lu Yun, but in the back points, she is confident that she will press Lu Yun to the ground and rub it.
At this time, Lu Yun naturally didn't know that his every move was observed by the three old guys, and he didn't know that Di Ruoling, who was only separated by a wall from him, was secretly competing with him.
He put the charcoal in the furnace and lit the fire, and the flames began to rise.
"It's so inconvenient, it seems that we have to find a spark as soon as possible in the future." Lu Yun said secretly in his heart.
If you want to become a fourth-grade alchemist, in addition to reaching the fourth level of alchemy and having a pill, you also need to have your own spiritual fire.
All three are necessary and indispensable.
With the blessing of pure yang qi, the flames in the Dan furnace began to burn violently, and when the fire reached a certain level, Lu Yun's heart moved, and a wisp of pure yang qi swept up an elixir and threw it into the Dan furnace.
In this way, after refining the first elixir into liquid, the heat was slightly lowered and purification began.
After a while, yellow impurities gradually appeared on it, and after continuous purification, more and more impurities were removed, and the medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace became more and more refined and crystal clear.
After the complete purification, the pure yang qi wrapped it, and Lu Yun used a jade bottle to catch it steadily.
This procedure was repeated three more times.
In this process, Lu Yun was like a veteran, even if the medicinal properties of each elixir were different, and the requirements for heat when refining and purifying were also different, but in his hands, everything became easy, as if there was no other difficulty at all.
This has something to do with his second-level alchemy and his meticulous control of Gang Qi.
After seeing Lu Yun's smooth operation, after refining and purifying the four elixirs, Di Ruoling's delicate red lips opened slightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of shock.
With a slight muffled sound, an elixir was distracted by her and turned to ashes.
"Ah...... It's all to blame for Lu Yun, a stinky boy, who caused me to waste an elixir in vain. ”
With a curse in her heart, she hurriedly found a new one and started refining again.
This time, she finally stopped daring to be distracted and continued to pay attention to Lu Yun.
If this elixir is wasted again, then this assessment will be considered a failure.
The four elixirs were all refined and purified, and the last remaining step was Ning Dan.
In this regard, Lu Yun is also handy, under the control of pure yang qi, there is no situation of fryer.
The four crystal-clear potions fused into a new mass of liquid, which began to tumble and take shape in the flames.
Time flew by, and the sand in the hourglass flowed loudly, and only two-thirds of the time remained.
At this time, most of the examiners had not yet completed the purification, and gradually began to become nervous.
In the process of alchemy, it is taboo to be unstable or uncalm, so there is a slight sound coming from the Dan furnace.
Lu Yun, who was very sensitive to hearing, heard these voices, smiled slightly, and immediately his eyes fell on the Dan furnace.
At this time, a mellow pill was finally formed, with a faint luster on the surface, and a faint fragrance of the pill came out of the alchemy furnace.
Lu Yun smiled faintly, and the pure Yang Gang Qi moved slightly, and the flames in the alchemy furnace slowly extinguished.
With a flick of his fingers, the top lid of the alchemy furnace opened, and a round and shimmering faint luster of the quenching pill flew out.
At the same time, with a move of Lu Yun's palm, a delicate jade bottle appeared in his hand, accurately incorporating the Quenching Pill that flew out.
Lu Yun slowly put the jade bottle on the table, looked up at the giant hourglass at the judges' seat, the sand was flowing slowly, and there was still half of the sand left in it.
Then he looked back at the cubicles around him, and saw that the other fastest people had just finished purifying.
And Di Ruoling, who was closest to him, was very focused, which was a little different from the extremely active and agile personality he had before.
"Is it a modified child?"
