Chapter 362: Assessing Apprentices

Under the scorching sun, Xia Yun was at the end of the Danling Master assessment area, and in front of him, there were more than two hundred freshmen waiting for the assessment.

Compared to other branches, the number of people queuing in this area of Danshi Hall is fully twice as large.

"I don't know why the Danshi Hall of the God of War Academy is so popular this year, it would be good to have twenty people in previous years. The student in front of Xia Yun complained quietly.

This person was dressed as an elegant scholar, carrying a bamboo cage on his back, exuding a faint fragrance of herbs. If you look at it from afar, you will only think that it is an ordinary young scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam.

And a young man in front of the scholar heard the scholar's complaints, and took advantage of the boredom at this moment, so he turned his head and teased: "Listen to your words, you know that you are a medicine disciple who specializes in Dan Dao!"

Medicine apprentice is the first grade title than Dan Master apprentice, which refers to those private professions who have learned some alchemy and herbal knowledge, but have not been recognized by the Dan Ling Master Association.

"Brother Tai, how do you say this?" The scholar couldn't understand, weren't the freshmen queuing up here all medicine disciples who specialized in Dan Dao?

"More than ninety percent of these people who assessed Danshi's apprentices this time are laymen. ”

"What does this mean?" the scholar became more and more incomprehensible.

"You weren't here before, so I didn't know, just now the hall master of the Dan Master Hall spoke in the dust, the current president of the White Dragon Empire's Dan Spirit Master Association and the first Dan Dao master in Dan City, Luo Tianyun, will come to our God of War Academy in person in the near future!"

"But what does this have to do with the long queue in front?" Xia Yun was suddenly curious, and couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, the master of the Dust Hall also said that even if the candidate's foundation is zero, as long as the Dan Dao talent is measured, he can become a protégé of Luo Shi. The young man was full of spring and was obviously very excited about it.

The scholar's face was also flushed after hearing this, compared to those layman students who tried to run to try their luck, his Dan Dao foundation was extremely solid, and he definitely had a chance to get the respect and cultivation of Luo Shi.

"Oh. Xia Yun responded lightly, and then withdrew his head, showing a lack of interest in Luoshi's personal presence, and it was not very rare for Luoshi's protégés.

Taking advantage of the queue time, Xia Yun bought a few books on Dan Dao in the system store, such as "Mixed Yuan One Qi Hundred Herbs Heavenly Gang", "Eighteen Rules of the Core Essentials of Alchemy", and "General Record of the Efficacy and Identification of Inferior Pills......

After buying it, Xia Yun found that the thickness of each Dan book was about half a meter, and he was so frightened that he almost wanted to return it. Fortunately, Xia Yun can see it at a glance, and there is no need to memorize them one by one like ordinary people. It's just a breath away, and you can keep everything in mind.

But when Xia Yun looked at the team in front of him again, he found that the long line of the team had not taken a step forward, and it seemed that it was not necessarily a good thing to remember quickly.

After two hours of hard exposure in the sun, when the scholar finished the exam, it was Xia Yun's turn.

Walking into the tent, Xia Yun suddenly felt a lot cooler, and suddenly refreshed. When he saw an old man in his prime sitting in front of the case, he roughly guessed the identity of this person, who must be the chief examiner of Danshi's apprenticeship, and he is also the master of Danshitang.

In addition to the chief examiner in the tent, there were two white-clothed assistants on both sides of the dust, and the two of them looked strict and never said a word. Next to the assistant, there were six students standing in the corner honestly, obviously the freshmen who had just passed the first round of assessments.

Dust Feitu rubbed the bridge of his nose, looking a little tired, and after seeing Xia Yun come in, he went straight to the point.

"First question, how does the Lingxu Dragon Amaranth Grass refine the essence of Dragon Amaranth Juice?"

Xia Yun's face was full of surprise, this examiner was too lazy, and he didn't even ask his name, place of origin, class, and specialties clearly, so he went straight to the topic.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Yun's mind immediately appeared with a blue-blue herb with a whole body, resembling a dragon's whisker, and the tip of the fibrous root faintly emitted a faint golden light. Five-grade spiritual material Lingxu Dragon Amaranth, on the market, the price of one plant is 100,000 demon spirit coins.

The dragon amaranth juice mentioned by the examiner actually refers to the thin juice extracted from the pale golden stems and leaves of the fibrous root, which is used to treat many stubborn diseases in the meridians, as well as anti-aging and longevity effects.

Don't look at a Lingxu dragon amaranth grass can only squeeze out a drop of dragon amaranth juice, but the price of dragon amaranth juice is more than ten times that of the spirit grass itself, and it can even be said that it is priceless.

The reason why the price is high is that the most important thing is that the refining techniques are quite complicated, and the success rate of refining is also extremely low, and there is no level of high-level Dan Ling Master who can't quench it at all.

However, whether or not you can quench the pure amaranth juice is one thing, and whether you know the method of refining the amaranth juice is another.

Xia Yun had previously purchased the "Mixed Yuan One Qi Hundred Herbs Heavenly Gang" in the system store, which introduced a detailed introduction to the Lingxu Dragon Amaranth Grass, and even the method of refining the Dragon Amaranth juice was also marked in it.

"There are generally three ways to quench dragon amaranth juice, the first is the most commonly used starfire quenching method, which must use extremely exquisite fire control methods to turn the spiritual fire into countless granular sparks scattered around the spiritual void dragon amaranth grass, slowly heat, so that it is heated evenly, so that the dragon amaranth juice at the tip of the fibrous root is heated and overflows, and only extremely slow baking can retain the most primitive medicinal power. ”

Xia Yunkou was like a river, and after a while, he finished stating the first refining technique, which attracted the eyes of the chief examiner and the rest of the students for a while.

Especially those freshmen who had just passed the assessment, if they were asked to answer this question, they would definitely only be able to answer one of the Starfire Tempering Methods, and it would not be as detailed as Xia Yun's answer.

Although the Starfire Tempering Method is not difficult to understand, it is extremely complicated to operate, just the fire-resisting technique of the one-handed Spirit Cremation Star is not something that ordinary Dan Spirit Masters can make up for with experience, and without superb fire-fighting talent, it is impossible to do it in a lifetime.

"The second method is more difficult and few people know about it, but the medicinal power of the quenching method is better than the previous one. That is the Xuanbing quenching method, this technique is extremely critical to the control of the fire, first of all, the Lingxu Dragon Amaranth must be frozen, and then use the residual temperature of the flame to heat it, but so that the cold will not completely dissipate, always lingering around the Lingxu Dragon Amaranth, so the quenching of the dragon amaranth juice is not only large, but also the purity is almost as high as 100%. ”

Dust Feitu nodded, he had heard this technique explained by Master Luo, but even he, a senior Danling Master, had never successfully quenched dragon amaranth juice with this technique.

The difficulty lies in the fact that it is necessary to heat the frozen Lingxu Dragon Amaranth and ensure that the cold cannot be completely dissipated, which is an extremely complicated technique in the way of alchemy.

As for the third refining technique, in fact, even if Xia Yun didn't answer, Dust Feitu could guess which one Xia Yun was going to say. After all, there are only these three ways to refine dragon amaranth juice.

It's just that very few Dan Ling masters will use the third refining method, although the refining process of this method is very simple, but the success rate is extremely low, even if it is a senior Dan Dao master, it can't improve the success rate of half support.

Just imagine, it is possible for ten spiritual void dragon amaranth herbs to quench a dragon amaranth juice, and selling it is not worth the money of that pile of spiritual materials, not to mention the cost of the Dan spirit master.

"The third method is called the dragon tongue quenching method, which is to put the dragon tongue purple pattern flower and the Lingxu dragon amaranth grass into the Dan furnace at the same time to refine together, and it can be tempered by constant fire. After half an hour, a blue-purple spiritual liquid mixed with amaranth juice and agatongue juice can be obtained. Then inject a drop of the sap of the Yipin Lingcai Bee back to the root of the grass, and the two can be layered and extracted separately. ”

"The refining process is not complicated, but no matter how well the heat is controlled, it is still possible to fry the furnace. ”

Xia Yun talked eloquently, with a look of knowing everything about the Lingxu Dragon Amaranth.

In fact, he also knows how to improve the success rate of the third method, but this special secret method is not well known to the Xuanwu Continent, even if it is said, it will take time to test, it is better to rot in the stomach, anyway, as long as the assessment is passed.

The examiner nodded again and again, appreciating Xia Yundandao's profound foundation and solid basic knowledge.

However, this year's assessment is different from previous years, not only can you become a disciple of Danshi Hall if you have enough understanding of the basics, but you also need to have your own unique insights and bold ideas.

"Question 2, how to improve the success rate of extracting dragon amaranth juice by the dragon tongue refining method?" asked Dust Feitu again, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Xia Yun: "......"

Originally, Xia Yun had already planned to rot this special secret method in his stomach, who would have thought that the examiner's second exam question was to ask about the secret method to improve the success rate. If he hadn't watched "Mixed Yuan One Qi Baicao Tiangang", wouldn't he be at this juncture today?

"This is simple, as long as you add another flavor of orchid spirit flower to the Dan furnace, you can make the success rate of the dragon tongue quenching method reach more than eighty percent. It's just that in this way, the layered extracted aathulos juice loses its original medicinal properties, and can only retain the medicinal power of the amaranth juice. ”

Hearing this answer, the examiner was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Xia Yun to answer so quickly, he didn't even have time to think, as if he had known it for a long time.

"Is this your personal conjecture, or is it a made-up answer?"

The chief examiner suddenly became serious, although he didn't know the secret method to increase the success rate of the dragon tongue refining method, but at least he could tell who had used his brain and who was talking nonsense.

The six freshmen who passed the first round of assessment around them gloated one by one, all watching Xia Yun's jokes, they had also experienced this type of question, and naturally knew that the examiner's second question was not really examining basic knowledge, but the spirit of daring to make bold guesses and bold attempts.

Even if you have to make it up, you can pretend to think about it for a while. Say the answer without hesitation, isn't this clearly perfunctory to the examiner?
