As the sky grew darker, the five of them walked together into the depths of the outer reaches of the mountains.

The surroundings began to become quiet, and even the tone became a little oozing.

"Boy, let's talk about it first, you can hide by yourself when a spirit beast appears, I won't be distracted to save you!"

Zhao Hu pinched his waist with both hands, and said to Xu Lang with a slight disgust in his eyes.

Xu Lang was silent on the side, observing the movements of the other three.

Except for Huang Yue and Zhao Hu, who seemed calm, the other two were a little inexperienced and inexplicably nervous.

"Rest in place!"

Xu Lang was still sitting in a tree, always keeping his distance from this team.

Just about to sit down, Xu Lang's back was cold, and a bad premonition arose.

"Ding! The host senses danger and gains the passive skill [Awareness]"

[Awareness] One hundred meters to the left, the third-order spirit beast is approaching!

"Left?"

Xu Lang looked at Huang Yue over there, and the woods behind her really moved.

"Xuan-level low-level spirituality: Swift step!"

With one step, Xu Lang came behind Huang Yue, grabbed her waist with both hands, and swept towards the right.

As soon as the two of them dodged, an all-black spirit beast rushed out, and the place where it landed was the same place where Huang Yue was standing before.

"Spirit beasts appear, ready to fight!"

Zhao Hu clenched the big knife and confronted the spirit beast, and the spiritual energy on his body continued to gush out.

Huang Yue's eyes widened, and her face flushed as she looked at Xu Lang in front of her, when Xu Lang arrived behind her just now, she didn't even notice it in the slightest.

"Huang Yue, what are you doing, you haven't returned to the team yet!"

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth and looked at Huang Yue who fell into Xu Lang's arms, his heart was furious, and he wanted to kill Xu Lang.

Huang Yue hurriedly left from Xu Lang's arms and stood behind Zhao Hu with a little shyness.

Xu Romance took a few steps back carelessly, looking at the appearance of this spirit beast, and didn't seem to take him in his eyes.

[Analysis] third-order spirit beast: howling lion, attribute: wind.

The four of them stood in dispersion, each with a nervous look in their eyes.

"Roar!"

The roar of the howling lion caused the fierce wind to continue to rage, and the surrounding trees fell in large numbers.

Under this kind of wind pressure, even condensing aura has become a problem, let alone fighting.

"Damn, it's a big guy, it looks like it's a bit of trouble this time!"

"Captain, run, this is a third-order spirit beast!"

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, and the big knife in his hand clenched tightly, "Can you run away?

The howling lion ran wildly in the wind, and its speed increased to the extreme, and its body was difficult to catch.

In the midst of the raging wind, a sharp claw flew out, and the two Qi Gathering Eight Realms were directly seriously injured and fell to the ground.

"Damn, two pieces of waste!"

Xu Lang thought that these four people would be suppressed by this wind attribute spirit beast, but he didn't expect that they would be suppressed so thoroughly.

The cold air condensed, the arrows formed, the howling lion moved in the wind, and it was difficult for Xu Lang to hit it, so he could only wait for the moment when it appeared.

"Zhao Hu, be careful!"

The huge body of the howling lion suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Hu, and the fangs opened wide and bit at him.

"It's now!"

Six arrows shot out at the same time, all of them pierced the same part of the roaring lion's head, no matter how high its defense was, the attack of six arrows was enough to break through.

The roaring lion suddenly stopped moving, and Zhao Hu was still a little unconscious, then stabilized his mind and slashed towards its neck.

The Howling Lion, who was hit by the condensation thorn in the head, had long lost the ability to act, and with Zhao Hu's knife, it could be regarded as ending it.

Watching the corpse of the roaring lion fall, Zhao Hu was completely stunned, and kept muttering, "I defeated the third-order spirit beast, I defeated the third-order spirit beast..."

I thought that these four people had some strength, but I didn't expect to panic directly in the face of third-order spirit beasts.

Xu Lang shook his head slowly on the side, if it weren't for the fact that this howling lion didn't put him in his eyes at the beginning, I'm afraid this condensation thorn would be difficult to hit.

Seeing that the team members were fine, Huang Yue on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you just now!" Huang Yue lowered her head and said to Xu Lang with her hands in front of her at a loss.

Xu Lang still didn't speak, just nodded lightly in response.

"Huang Yue, come and help, the skin of this spirit beast is too hard!"

Seeing Huang Yue thanking Xu Lang, Zhao Hu said reluctantly.

"It's coming!"

The two of them walked over to the corpse of the Howling Lion, ready to remove the spirit crystal from the skull.

[Awareness] Three hundred meters ahead, the third-order spirit beast approached.

"And one more!"

Xu Lang's expression was tense, looking at the corpse in front of him, there was actually a spirit beast approaching here.

"Whew~"

A gust of wind blew, and a black shadow jumped in the sky, and its massive body shook the ground.

The surrounding aura fluctuated, shaking the nearest Huang Yue and Zhao Hu away at the same time.

"Howling lion, how come there is still one!"

With a black body, blood-red eyes, and a violent aura on his body, this roaring lion was obviously rampant because of the killing of his kind.

Zhao Hu hurriedly stood up, and the coercion exuded by the howling lion made his hands tremble.

Huang Yue, who was originally injured, was hit by the shock just now and was injured again.

In their heyday, the four of them were already struggling to deal with a howling lion, and now the seriously injured quartet has no chance of winning against a raging howling lion.

"Captain, what should I do?"

"Run!"

Zhao Hu hurriedly helped Huang Yue up, and all he could do now was to escape.

But the speed of the wind attribute spirit beast is not comparable to them, and the howling lion can easily catch up with him with a casual step.

Facing the roaring lion who followed closely behind, Zhao Hu's expression was already desperate.

"Roar—"

The fangs opened wide and tore at the two of them, and death was close at hand, and both closed their eyes at the same time.

In an instant!

Death did not come, the two hurriedly turned around, looked at Xu Lang in front of them, and actually resisted the howling lion with one hand.

"He..."

Huang Yue knew that Xu Lang was not simple, but she never thought that he would be able to fight against a third-order spirit beast single-handedly.

"If you don't want to die, just stay away!"

Zhao Hu didn't have time to hesitate, and hurriedly helped Huang Yue to hide behind the tree.

The howling lion moved, and used the wind to hide its tracks in an instant.

"Xuan-level low-level spirituality: Swift step!"

Xu Lang chased the trail of the howling lion and moved, but it was not always a little worse, the speed of the howling lion was not slow, and with the wind as a medium, the speed was far beyond the ordinary low-level spiritual science.

Although Xu Lang can barely catch up, it is still a little behind, the wind attribute spirit beast relies on speed, as long as the speed catches up, the rest does not need to be taken care of.

"Ding!Use Rapid Movement to gain 10*200 Psionic XP!"

"Ding! Xuan-level low-level spiritual science is quickly upgraded to Xuan-level intermediate spiritual science!"

The corners of Xu Lang's mouth raised an arc, and the aura under his feet quickly condensed.

"Xuan-level Intermediate Spiritual Science: Swift Step!"

"Xuan-level Intermediate Spiritual Science: Thunder Fist!"

The two spiritual sciences were used at the same time, and Xu Lang's figure entered the wind.

The entire wind field was filled with thunder, and with the sound of bones shattering, the huge body of the howling lion flew out of the wind.

"Ding! Defeat the third-order spirit beast and gain 100*200 experience!"

With the defeat of the Howling Lion, the surroundings returned to calm, and a third-order spirit beast was simply dealt with, which could be described as shocking to others.

The four of them, who were originally desperate, had their eyes full of horror and swallowed their throats unconsciously.

"Freshmen?"

"He..."

Zhao Hu choked continuously, such an inconspicuous freshman actually defeated a third-order spirit beast in two or three moves, this kind of reversal was too difficult to accept.

Xu Lang took out two spirit crystals, walked towards the four of them, and threw the previous spirit crystals to Huang Yue.

Looking at the slightly bloodshot spirit crystal in his hand, Huang Yue's mood was mixed, and he instantly understood what was going on with the sudden weakness of the spirit beast before.

"Didn't you before..."

Xu Lang put away the third-order spirit crystal in his hand and walked towards the depths of the mountain range.

"Is this really a freshman?"

"It seems that when we entered the mountains, something terrible happened among the students!"

Leaving Zhao Hu and his party, Xu Lang hunted earth-attribute spirit beasts alone in the depths of the mountain range.

With the [Awareness] skill, finding a spirit animal is no longer headless and brainless.

In just half an hour, Xu Lang completed this high-level task.

I returned to the academy and submitted the spirit crystal, and I was paid accordingly.

Originally, Xu Lang planned to buy the pill, but the alchemy plug-in didn't need the pill, he only needed to swallow the pill to get the pill.

This saved Xu Lang a lot of money, and the second-grade pill was much cheaper than the second-grade prescription.

In addition to the Alchemy Hall, the school belongs to the Dan Mansion and has a large number of pills.

In contrast, the pills in Dan Mansion were even more abundant, after all, they were refined by the senior alchemist students of Dan Mansion.

Danfu is divided into three parts, refining, selling, and assessing.

Xu Lang came to the selling part with the most traffic, compared to the Alchemy Hall, which can be described as overflowing with danxiang.

The common grades of pills are divided into three types, two to four, but there are many types.

In order to quickly find the right elixir for yourself, there is a special grade classification.

Xu Lang came to the classification of second-order pills, and swept at a glance, there were more than a dozen second-order pills alone.

"Qi Gathering Pill, Healing Pill, Returning Qi Pill..."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Originally, a large group of students who had bought pills were all blasted away, and a wide road was left out of it.

Several students swaggered past it, looking down at everything arrogantly.

"Damn, this group of people is too arrogant!"

"No way, who made the other party an alchemist, what can we do?"

Xu Lang picked out the elixir, and heard the people next to him keep complaining about the arrogant students.

"Hey, freshman, why don't you get out of the way when you see us?"

A student approached Xu Lang, put it on his shoulder, and said in a disdainful tone.

"Get out!" Xu Lang didn't turn around, and said a word indifferently.

"Yo, I'm arrogant, do you know who I am?"

Xu Lang took out the silver card he received from the previous mission, which contained 100,000 gold coins.

"Rejuvenation Pill, Healing Pill, one each!"

Xu Lang completely ignored the words of the students behind him, and put away the gold coins he had purchased.

"Dare to be so unreasonable to the alchemist, I don't think you want to be confused!"

Xu Lang turned to look at the student, and the [Heavenly Eye] swept over, and only then did he gather the strength of the Nine Realms of Qi, but his arrogance was even more arrogant than the students who practiced the Qi Realm around him.

No matter where the alchemist is, he is more noble than people in the same realm, or even in a higher realm. This is also the reason why everyone dreams of becoming an alchemist.

"Who is this guy? How dare you ignore the alchemist!"

"Whatever, let's wait and see the show!"

Seeing that Xu Lang didn't speak, the student continued to sarcastically, "It turned out to be a freshman, no wonder he doesn't understand the rules so much!"

"Get out of the way!"

Xu Lang's arrogance rose, and he didn't want to worry about this kind of person, but it was too annoying.

"Boy, don't be embarrassed, you want me to teach you a lesson to know how to be obedient. ”

The student opened his palm while scolding, and a pale white flame slowly rose, and a burning sensation immediately appeared around him.

"It's Danhuo, this person is really a first-class alchemist!"

"This freshman is going to be unlucky, I'm afraid it won't be easy to mix in the future!"

"New here, do you know what this Danhuo is? Don't you apologize for your rudeness just now!" Danhuo continued to burn in his hands, but he himself did not change at all.

Xu Lang glanced at him without him, and with a wave of his hand, a golden flame rose up, directly engulfing the flame in the opponent's hand.

"Danhuo, I have it too!"

"This is..."

That student's expression instantly stiffened, and the Dan Fire that could devour his flame would only be stronger than him.

"Now, can you get out?"

Xu Lang shook his palm, the flames disappeared, the student's eyes were full of fear, and his body kept retreating, and finally disappeared into the crowd.

Watching Xu Lang put away the flames, everyone cast envious eyes.

"This freshman is an alchemist, and this time the other party has kicked the iron plate!"

"It looks stronger than that first-grade alchemist, is it a second-grade?"

"Impossible, how can such a young second-grade alchemist exist!"

Xu Lang was about to leave, but was stopped by a man behind him.

"Hello, this student, are you an alchemist?"

"Hello, this student, are you an alchemist?" Xu Lang was stopped by a middle-aged man.

If you look closely, it is the mentor who sold the pill just now, and he is amiable.

"Hmm!"

"The alchemist's purchase of pills and medicinal materials is a five-percent discount, so the gold coins that you received just now can be returned to you now!"

"Five folds?" Xu Lang didn't expect an alchemist to enjoy such treatment, no wonder everyone wanted to become an alchemist.

"If you show your alchemist badge, you can return this half of the gold coin!"

Xu Lang was only recognized by the system as an alchemist, but he didn't have the kind of alchemist badge that proved his identity.

It seems that if you want to be more convenient in this school, you really have to get an alchemist badge.

"Where can I get the Alchemist badge?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Didn't you take the assessment?"

Xu Lang thought for a moment, didn't even answer the man, turned around and walked out of the sales office directly, and went to the place where the alchemist was assessed.

Only by becoming an alchemist can you enjoy the resources that these students can't enjoy.

The number of alchemists is scarce, and there are very few people who are assessed.

"Look, it's a freshman!"

"Interesting, it's rare to see in a hundred years!"

Sure enough, the freshmen were not unwelcome when they walked there.

Dozens of students came to conduct the assessment, and Xu Lang was no exception, standing behind them.

A white-bearded old man walked out of a door, a golden robe, surrounded by five stars, a true five-grade alchemist.

"Those who conduct assessments, follow me!"

The old man waved his long sleeves and led everyone into the room behind the door.

Entering the room, it was lit by flames, but it was still a little dark.

There were three people standing in front of the hundred stone tables, including the fifth-grade alchemist just now.

"There is actually a freshman? This kind of preserved chicken also dares to come to assess the first-grade alchemist?"

"I'm afraid he can't even tell the difference between medicinal herbs!"

"Hahaha..."

The surrounding students noticed the existence of Xu Lang, a new student, and the discussion began.

The golden-robed old man also noticed Xu Lang, and his eyes showed a hint of justice, "How can there be a new student?"

"Great Elder, do you need to..."

The golden-robed old man looked at the man next to him who was older than him and asked respectfully.

The man swept over Xu Lang, and for a while his back was cold, and even his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat.

"No, I want to see what he is..."

Xu Lang's eyes swept over the three people in front of him, just now the [Breath Accumulation] skill was activated, someone must be checking his cultivation.

But because of the absolute obstruction of [Breath Accumulation], I am afraid that even the fifth-grade alchemist will not be able to detect his cultivation.

"I am Xie Changqing, the examiner of this time, and I am also the third elder of the Dan Mansion.

Next, you can use the medicinal materials and pills on the table to refine a pill within the time limit!"

The golden-robed old man spoke loudly again, and the students below began to complain.

"Why is it Elder Xie's assessment again, this time it is sure to fail again!"

"Of the three examiners, he is the strictest!"

Xu Lang looked at the medicinal materials on the table, there were only a few few, and the refining of a pinnel pill should not be complicated.

"Qi Condensing Pill!"

"Ding! Observe the Qi Condensation Dan Pill Recipe and obtain the Qi Condensing Pill Pill Formula!"

Xu Lang just glanced at it, and all the contents of Danfang were deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Look, that freshman really doesn't know what to do, he can't even start a fire!"

"It's funny to be embarrassed here!"

"Even if we can't practice the pill today, there will be this new student who will be disgraced in our place!"

In the eyes of the people around him, Xu Lang was now at a loss.

But Xu Lang was surprised by the details of the Dan Fang in his mind, and his palm lightly touched the Dan Ding, and a flame slowly ignited.

The golden flame is different from the usual aura fire, this is a Dan fire suitable for alchemy.

The flames began to form, and a sense of heat was generated around them.

"Golden Flame!"

The three elders in front of him were all shocked, and the golden-robed old man couldn't bear to walk in front of Xu Lang.

"What a pure flame, it seems that this time it is my Dan Mansion that has picked up the treasure!"

Hearing Xie Changqing's admiration, the surrounding students were dumbfounded, what kind of person is Xie Changqing, that is a five-grade alchemist, and he actually praised a freshman here.

The original irony turned into the current envy, and many people began to admire Xu Lang's golden flame.

Xu Lang stretched out his hand, and a medicinal herb entered the Danding, and under the refining of the golden flame, the originally perfect medicinal herb turned into a drop of liquid.

After repeated refining, the liquid became transparent and pure, Xu Lang repeated this action, refining the remaining medicinal materials in turn.

All the medicinal liquids entered the Danding and fused under Xu Lang's control.

"What a proficient fire control method, I'm afraid this has reached the second-grade alchemist!"

"Second grade?"

Hearing Xie Changqing's admiration, the other two examiners also hurriedly walked over.

The liquid medicine slowly fused under Xu Lang's control, the impurities were removed little by little, and the liquid medicine was slowly solidified.

Xu Lang increased the flame, and under the baking of the flame, the original liquid medicine was divided into two balls.

"Cheng Dan!"

The flames dissipated, two round pills flew out of the pill, and Xu Lang hurriedly put them into the jade bottle.

"Ding! You have refined two first-grade pills and obtained 1000*200 alchemy experience!"

"Ding! The upgrade is successful, the current level of the third-grade alchemist, the alchemy success rate is 300!"

After refining a pill, he was upgraded to a third-grade alchemist, and I'm afraid no one would want to believe it.

Xie Changqing watched from the sidelines, and hurriedly checked the elixir refined by Xu Lang.

"Perfect quality, still two!"

"It really worked, it's amazing!"

"This freshman must be a young master of an alchemy family, otherwise how could there be a first-grade alchemist of such an age!"

Xu Lang, the surrounding cadet team, began to be suspicious, and could only associate his identity with the alchemy family.

"Congratulations, you have passed the assessment, and now you are a first-grade alchemist!"

Xu Lang pleaded with a flat expression, "Elder Xie, please let me take the second-grade alchemist assessment!"

"Second grade!"

This sentence was like a lightning strike to the people present, they didn't even take the first grade, and Xu Lang, as a freshman, actually had to take the second grade.

Xie Changqing was also stunned, looking at the other elder next to him, "Great Elder, this..."

The man smiled lightly, "Since you want to take the test, then let you take the test, a sixteen-year-old second-grade alchemist, I'm afraid that the entire Xuanwu Domain has not yet appeared!"

"Xie Changqing, you prepare for the second-grade alchemist assessment!"

"Yes!"

The two elders agreed to Xu Lang's request, and the surrounding students exploded instantly.

"Erpin, make no mistake!"

"How many second-grade alchemists can there be in the outer mansion?"

"I'm just afraid that the cowhide will blow up later, let's wait to see a good show!"

Xu Lang was taken away by Xie Changqing alone, and the assessment of the second-grade alchemist was another room.

There were also two other students in this room, a man and a woman who were very respectful when they saw Xie Changqing come in.

"Elder Xie!"

"Ouyang Xue, Ouyang Xiu, prepare for the assessment of the second-grade alchemist!"

The two hurriedly walked to their respective tables and began to prepare.

"Elder Xie, who is this freshman?" Xu Lang walked up to them and immediately caught Ouyang Xiu's attention.

"Fellow students of your assessment!" Xie Changqing said casually, and began to prepare for the content of the assessment.

Ouyang Xiu glanced at Xu Lang again, "Under Ouyang Xiu, may I ask what is the name of the junior brother?"

"Xu Lang!"

Hearing this name, Ouyang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure enough, it's really a freshman!"

"Hey, you're a freshman, why did you come to assess a second-grade alchemist?" asked Ouyang Xue suspiciously.

Xu Lang didn't answer, silently digesting the information in his mind, since he was upgraded to a third-grade alchemist, a large number of information emerged.

"Damn, you even ignore me!" Ouyang Xue puffed out her cheeks, to the point that she looked a little childish, obviously two or three years older than Xu Lang, but she looked immature than him.

"Don't make trouble!"

"Brother! a freshman actually put us in his eyes, this is too much of a nobody!" Looking at Xu Lang's appearance of closing his eyes and recuperating, Ouyang Xue instantly became angry.

"Maybe there's something special about him!"

"What, it's just that brother, you are so good-hearted, now you don't even take you seriously as a freshman, you must know that when you are in the family, you are the pride of the family!"
