Lin Xuan sips the fragrant tea while enjoying the murals hanging around. This is a small room, but elegantly furnished, it’s the VIP reception room of Spirit Pill Mountain.
Lin Xuan had waited for half an hour, but he was not impatient. From the disciple’s mouth, he learned a lot of information about the sect.
The boy had some restraints before but seeing Lin Xuan’s kindness. Gradually, he was happy to talk with him. It won him a good impression of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, which is good for him. And can probably be given some benefits.
Although Lin Xuan has no spiritual roots, he’s very smart, from the eyes of the lad, he had already guessed what he’s thinking, and with a little pondering, he took out a small sword from his arms, the sword was only a foot long, and flashed with cold light, although it’s not a Spirit Tool, it’s abnormally sharp, And with a little bit of Spiritual Qi, far superior to ordinary mortal weapons, Lin Xuan obtained it from an unlucky cultivator.
This sword is of no use to a cultivator. But it’s precious to a secular mortal, Lin Xuan gifted it to the boy. The other party was overjoyed and answered all of Lin Xuan’s questions.
After learning that there are several Alchemy teachers in Spirit Pill Mountain, Lin Xuan’s heart was moved…
At this moment, Sect Master Tong Yu walked into the VIP room, and the boy quickly closed his mouth, respectfully bowed, and then retired.
Seeing the white-haired old man entering the room, Lin Xuan stood up immediately: “Greeting Sect Master!”
“Fellow Daoist doesn’t need to be polite, you haven’t joined the sect yet, now we are merely peers.”
Although he read the description in the jade slip, seeing that Lin Xuan is so young, Tong Yu was taken aback, his Foundation Establishment was successful at less than 20 years old. With this rare talent, His future is boundless, such a person, does he really want to join the Spirit Pill Mountain?
The reaction of the other party, Lin Xuan had already expected it, his expression was calm and he showed a smile.
“Fellow Daoist likes Alchemy?”
“Yes.” Lin Xuan nodded and talked eloquently: “Although cultivation is all-encompassing, this Daoist is obsessed with Alchemy, but has never had a teacher. I’ve always longed for Spirit Pill Mountain. “
Although Lin Xuan is lying, but his expression is not flawed. The Daoist Master’s expression was very happy. “In this case, Fellow Daoist please follow me.”
Lin Xuan followed him to the front of an Alchemy room.
“Please Fellow Daoist temporarily store your Spirit Herbs here.”
Lin Xuan was stunned and hesitated.
“Fellow Daoist doesn’t have to be suspicious, this is the rule of this Sect.”Tong Yu Daoist Master smiled and explained: “Fellow Daoist may love Alchemy. But if you want to join this Sect, you must also prove that you have the talent to learn it.”
Unlike Spiritual Roots, the talent for Alchemy is invisible and needs to be tested. That is, the on-site refining of medicine pills, if the success rate is high, he will naturally be included into the Spirit Pill Mountain as a disciple. On the contrary, no matter how high your cultivation base, you will still be rejected.
To prevent the testee from cheating, he had to hand over all of his Herbs before entering the Alchemy room.
“Fellow Daoist rest assured. This Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. This reputation is still there. Your things are only temporarily kept. After the test is over, we will definitely return them to you.”
The other side has said this, Lin Xuan will naturally not push. He gave the Storage Bracelet to the other party. Tong Yu properly collected it.
Then he scanned Lin Xuan with his Spiritual Sense to make sure he didn’t have anything hidden. With a smile, he came up with a jade bottle: “These are raw materials for the Purifying Essence Pill, which can refine up to three batches of pills. Fellow Daoist can refine them one by one. I will check it in person tomorrow, as long as you are successful, it will prove that you have the talent to join Spirit Pill Mountain.”
As the lowest level medicine pill in the Cultivation World. It is not difficult to refine, but the Alchemists of the Great Sect have a success rate of only 50%. A rookie who is not deeply involved in Alchemy, if he can succeed once in three tries, it means his talents are already amazing.
Alchemy?
Lin Xuan held the bottle, his expression remained unchanged, but his heart was very happy.
It’s really helping me!
Originally, Lin Xuan was a bit embarrassed about joining the Spirit Pill Mountain. Although in order to refine the Top grade Pill, he studied alchemy for a period of time, but it’s clear in Lin Xuan’s heart, he has no talent, So for him to have succeeded, most importantly was because double-refining is already relatively simple, and secondly is that he used Permanent Heart Grass to improve his success rate, plus a little bit of luck.
If he really wants to succeed, don’t say three, even if he was given ten portions of raw materials, he may not be able to succeed.
In other words, he would be eliminated!
However, Lin Xuan is not in a hurry, because he has the blue Star Sea in his body, and can turn waste into treasure. If he fails, he can purify the Impurities from the Trash Pill.
Saying goodbye to the Sect Master, Lin Xuan entered the Alchemy room, and the stone door behind him was slammed shut.
He glanced at the burning fireball in the middle of the room, Lin Xuan face showed a hint of color, the Flaming Mountain is famous, although it’s the fire of earth veins, it’s not at all inferior to the innate fire of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, compared with the other major sects, Spirit Pill Mountain’s Spiritual Powers may be weaker, but if it’s the refining of pills, they’re second to none.
Lin Xuan reached out and Cauldron flew over, Lin Xuan then poured all the powder from the bottle.
Whispering an incantation, urging the fire of Earth arteries, Lin Xuan began to try Refining the Purifying Essence Pill…
After three hours.
Lin Xuan opened the lid of the furnace, and suddenly a burning smell came over. There was no such thing as a Spirit Pill. Needless to say, it failed.
Lin Xuan sighed, although he expected it, in his heart, he held some expectations. After all, this is a very useful Cultivation technique.
Whether it may be used in the future or not, Lin Xuan subconsciously hoped that he’d do something extraordinary, he worked very hard just now, but the result was still a failure.
However, Lin Xuan was only depressed for a little while, and he left this emotion behind.
Holding three medicine pills in his hand, Lin Xuan indulged, took only one of them, and began to purify. The Purifying Essence Pill to Lin Xuan is very familiar, not to mention that he is now a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
After a short quarter of an hour, the color of the Trash Pill changed from black to white, and the burnt flavor was replaced by a wonderful smell. Middle-Grade Essence Purifying Pill!
Originally, according to Tong Yu, as long as there is one Low-grade pill of the three, Lin Xuan would be able to join the Spirit Pill Mountain, but he now has a Middle-Grade Pill.
Of course, Lin Xuan didn’t do this to show off, the Cultivation World is dangerous, Lin Xuan always pursued a low-key. This time, he suddenly did the opposite, but that was after a lot of consideration.
He didn’t join Spirit Pill Mountain because he liked Alchemy, but for the Trash Pills of the Foundation Establishment Stage that has been accumulated for thousands of years.
Although Spirit Medicine Mountain is famous for its Alchemy technique, it’s difficult to refine medicine pills. Failure is inevitable. No one can guarantee that their own treasures of Heaven and Earth can really become a Spirit Pill.
So before the refining, the Alchemists of Spirit Pill Mountain reached an agreement with the foreign cultivators, even if they failed, they would not be held responsible.
Except for special circumstances, such as the last time when the Core Formation Stage Expert was too arrogant, Alchemy teachers will do their best and will not deliberately fail.
But no matter what, although their success rate is much higher than those of the outside cultivators, but after a thousand years, they have failed a lot, naturally accumulating a lot of Trash Pills.
Unlike the Whirlwind Cloud Valley, Lin Xuan is now a Cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is impossible to apply for the Trash Pill House. Besides, although Founding Establishment Stage’s Trash Pill is rubbish compared to the finished product, but in fact, there are still some uses, so they aren’t forgotten and are even accounted for. If Lin Xuan wants to take advantage of it again. It’s obviously unrealistic.
There are other methods too, for example, stealing them secretly, but after some thinking, this strategy is too dangerous, Spirit Pill Mountain is after all passed on for thousands of years, although the sect’s cultivators overall level is not high, But at least there are more than 10 Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, not to mention alchemy is not free, so according to the rarity of the pill, they are paid a certain number of Spirit Stones.
Let’s just say that, on the side of wealth, Spirit Pill Mountain is no worse than the three giants of You Prefecture.
With Spirit Stone, it’s natural to buy arrays formations from sects that are good at manufacturing. At the Trash Pill House of Spirit Pill Mountain, there is definitely a lot of Formation Arrays, and Lin Xuan has no confidence to break in.
Once discovered, not only will he be chased down, but his plans will also go to waste, so Lin Xuan will only do this stupidity, as a last resort.
