Eternal Tranquility

The old man continued: "In another half month, the assessment of the intermediate alchemist will begin, and those who are interested can also participate." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Qinghuan, and the man and woman beside him also looked at Liu Qinghuan at the same time. .

Liu Qinghuan's expression moved slightly, puzzled by what he meant.

The old man added: "Due to the huge cost of the intermediate examination, the monks who will participate will need to pay a thousand spiritual stones each."

Still have to pay fees? One thousand spirit stones is quite a lot, at least Liu Qinghuan, who is so poor, can't get it out now.

Liu Qinghuan looked at the others, but when he saw that most of them had a matter-of-fact expression, he knew that this was a long-standing practice.

The old man gave a few more instructions, then led everyone into Liuzhu Hall, took out some inch-long wooden plaques, asked each person's name, and carved them on them one by one.

Liu Qinghuan took the wooden sign from him. This wooden sign was actually made of fragrant wood, with a curly blade of grass engraved on it, and the seal of the Yunmengze Immortal Cultivation Alliance in the lower right corner. On the back, Liu Qinghuan's name and the words Wenshi Sect had just been engraved.

This wooden sign represents the identity of the junior alchemist. No matter where you go in the future, as long as you show this card, you can enjoy some discounts in the elixir stores under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

After coming out of Liuzhu Palace, Liu Qinghuan's face showed a solemn expression. His goal is to enter the alchemy room, and he must pass an intermediate alchemist before he can enter.

There is still half a month left. In this half month, we can only sharpen our guns in battle.

Liu Qinghuan first went to the trading shop, and after half an hour, he immediately rushed to the market.

He took out the two Dingyan Pills in his hand. Due to its characteristics, the Dingyan Pill is more popular among female cultivators than the Zhuanyan Pill. However, because the material is difficult to find, it rarely appears in the world.

However, Wu Zitao got more than a dozen pieces of materials from nowhere, and in the end, Liu Qinghuan got all the benefits. He made four pills in total, sent one to Yunzheng, ate one himself, and now only these two are left.

The Dingyan Pill was indeed very popular, and a total of 12,000 spirit stones were sold in the end. This was because he was in a hurry to sell it and the price was lowered. If it had been auctioned, it would have sold for at least 7,800 or 8,000 spirit stones. price.

Before the spirit stones were warmed up, they were changed hands and replaced with various materials. Liu Qinghuan visited all the elixir shops in the market and finally collected dozens of ingredients for the Peiyuan Dan. He also unexpectedly found more than a hundred ingredients for another elixir.

Even with these, in the end, his spiritual stones were still not enough, and he had to leave a thousand spiritual stones. Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to take out a foundation-building pill to find Wang Xu.

Wang Xu was shocked when he saw the Foundation Establishment Pill: "Do you really want to sell this Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Liu Qinghuan endured the pain and nodded: "Now that I have successfully established the foundation, there is no use keeping this pill. I originally planned to refine one more just in case, but I didn't know it would be useless."

Wang Xu's face suddenly turned red. He grabbed Liu Qinghuan's hand and said, "Senior Brother Liu, can you sell this Foundation Establishment Pill to me? I'll buy it for you at the market price!"

After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed.

How could the Foundation Establishment Pill have a market price? It was a pill that had a price but no market! Not to mention casual cultivators, even a disciple of the Wenshi Sect like Wang Xu who works in the sect's elixir shop would find it extremely difficult to obtain a Foundation Building Pill!

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wang wants to buy it, I won't say anything, just give him 80% of the market price."

Finally, at Wang Xu's insistence, he gave Liu Qinghuan 10,000 spirit stones: "I have already taken advantage of you with these 10,000 spirit stones, you have to take them!"

Seeing that Liu Qinghuan finally accepted, Wang Xu's eyes turned red with excitement, and his voice trembled: "Senior Brother Liu, I can't thank you enough for your kindness, I..." But he couldn't say the next words.

Liu Qinghuan joked: "Senior Brother Wang, are you so sorry for those 10,000 spirit stones that you are crying?"

Wang Xu was dumbfounded by what he said, and said angrily: "Senior Brother Liu, if you call me Senior Brother again in the future, I will get angry!"

Liu Qinghuan spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, then I congratulate Junior Brother Wang on your success in establishing your foundation!"

After buying the materials, Liu Qinghuan started refining the elixir day and night after returning to Zizhu Courtyard.

Half a month later, he came to Liuzhu Hall again.

This time, the people waiting here are all those who have taken the intermediate alchemist examination, and they are all foundation-building monks. Only two of them, Liu Qinghuan, had met half a month ago.

After everyone waited for a short time, the old man, the handsome bearded man and the beautiful female cultivator who had appeared before walked out of Liuzhu Hall.

The old man who was walking at the front stood on the steps and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, please wait. Before the assessment of the intermediate alchemist begins, I want to announce something first."

Everyone turned their attention to him, and the old man smiled: "I believe you have all seen the notice in the alchemy room. This year, the alchemy room will only accept one intermediate alchemist. We will not set up another assessment. In this assessment The winner will go directly to the alchemy room!"

As soon as this was said, everyone had different reactions. Some had their shoulders slumped in an instant, and some were confident of winning, but most of them had expressionless faces.

The old man led everyone to the small courtyard before and said: "Today's assessment has two levels. The first level is the same as that of a junior alchemist. You only need to identify more than 1,200 medicinal herbs and spiritual materials to pass. Please. Junior brothers and sisters, let’s get started.”

Everyone looked at each other, but "just"?

Everyone present was shocked. Many people who had not paid attention to the primary assessment were dumbfounded. If they hadn't handed over a thousand spirit stones as soon as they arrived, I'm afraid some of them would have turned around and left!

However, there are also people who are confident and enter the magic circle directly.

Liu Qinghuan was just about to find a corner to sit down and wait, when the old man suddenly called out, "Junior Brother Lin Miao, Junior Brother Liu Qinghuan, are you here?"

Everyone who was still in the courtyard stopped and looked at the old man.

A middle-aged male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building walked out of the crowd: "Senior Brother Tu called me?"

He had high cheekbones, and two deep lines of nasolabial folds extended down the side of his nose. His face looked extremely dull. Seeing Liu Qinghuan coming out, he just glanced at him calmly.

The old man smiled and said, "The two junior brothers are outstanding. Junior Brother Lin has already proved his strength last year, and Junior Brother Liu identified more than 1,800 kinds of medicinal herbs and spiritual materials in the first level half a month ago, so the two of you can directly enter the second level."

After that, the three of them left together.

The eyes of the people present all changed when they looked at Liu Qinghuan. More than 1,800 kinds? Could it be that this level is not as difficult as they imagined?

Only the two cultivators who had participated in the primary assessment before looked at Liu Qinghuan with a trace of horror on their faces.

The cultivator named Lin Miao rolled his eyes, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face at the same time, and he snorted coldly.

Liu Qinghuan looked at him inexplicably, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

At this time, a male cultivator with a few bamboo leaves on his clothes came to Liu Qinghuan and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there is such a disciple who is proficient in alchemy in Zhulin Mountain. Junior Brother Liu, I am Zhang Yuanpei. I will ask Junior Brother Liu for more guidance in the future."

Liu Qinghuan replied: "Senior Brother Zhang is a guest..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard another cold snort from the side. Lin Miao said sarcastically: "Knowing a lot of medicinal herbs does not mean that you are good at alchemy. What is there to be proud of?"

Liu Qinghuan stopped talking, turned his head to look at him, took two steps away, and continued: "Senior Brother Zhang is polite."

Lin Miao's face suddenly became ugly.

Liu Qinghuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and had a good chat with Zhang Yuanpei.

The first level went very quickly, and it was all over in the afternoon, and only half of the people were left.

This time, the beautiful female cultivator came to greet them. She led everyone to the side yard and pushed open the door of the big house in the middle.

The room was very spacious, and it was no longer a magic circle, but five tables were placed in it.

The tables were separated and placed side by side, with a long distance between them. There was a storage bag on each table.

The old man and the man with beautiful beard were sitting not far from the door, drinking tea slowly.

"Brother Tu, everyone is here." The beautiful female cultivator stepped forward and said.

"Yes." The old man nodded, put the teacup on the small table at hand, stood up and said: "This second level is to test the success rate of the pill. Intermediate alchemists must have more than two foundation-building pills with a success rate of more than 30%."

He pointed to the table in the room: "The things have been prepared for you. Each person can choose two of the five pills to refine, and cannot choose more than one, so you should think carefully before choosing. Without further ado, let's start."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked forward.

Liu Qinghuan also walked to the table on the far right. He had been waiting for most of the day. It didn't matter whether he went up first or later. It was better to finish the job early.

At this time, someone else walked up to the side. It was Lin Miao. He looked at Liu Qinghuan provocatively.

Thanks to the Emperor Zhenxiang, Hanshan Sanren, Wen Zhao, and Zhiyang for their rewards.
