Chapter 207: Alchemy Test (please subscribe!)
“I’ve met all of you, senior brothers!”
Although Chu Ning was a little surprised that there were nearly a hundred people in the hall of the alchemy pavilion, he still showed his face. Everyone bowed their hands with calm expressions.
He Yanmao also vaguely felt at this moment that there was something wrong with the people in the Alchemy Pavilion who mobilized their troops like this.
A kind smile appeared on Hei’s face, and he said to Chu Ning:
“Junior Brother Chu, you have met several of our deacons before.
But some of the others You haven’t met the fellow apprentices and Qi Refining disciples yet. When they heard that you were coming, everyone wanted to come and meet.”
As he said that, He Yanmao turned his head again and said to the crowd:
"This is our new deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, Deacon Chu Ningchu."
Although everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion was a little curious and surprised at Chu Ning's youth, they had heard some comments these days.
But after all, not everyone has Yuan Rongzhang's status and background, so most people are surprised.
There was some expression on the face, but they still raised their hands and said:
“I’ve met Deacon Chu!”
Chun Ning raised his hands in return, looking at everyone. He scanned his body and then said:
"This is a new arrival for Chu. I would like to ask all my fellow disciples to take care of him in the future."
The politeness of his words made him slightly familiar with "Xiao Dan". He Yanmao, who has a "teacher" temperament, is somewhat surprised.
However, he thought that "Master Xiao" had to completely change his identity, and with the understanding of his grudges, it seemed that his personality was no longer weird but was normal.
At this time, Yuan Rongzhang winked inadvertently, and suddenly an old man next to him who was about the same age as He Yanmao said:
"Junior Brother Chu, Geng Wansheng wants to take the liberty of something. Ask for advice.”
Chun Ning’s eyes fell on Geng Wansheng who had opened his mouth, and he saw that he was also in the middle stage of foundation building.
This person looks thin, but the aura around him is stronger than that of an ordinary mid-stage foundation-building monk, and he is vaguely about to enter the late-stage foundation-building level.
"Senior Brother Geng, please speak."
Chun Ning spoke, and Geng Wansheng's eyes immediately looked over.
"To be honest with my junior brother, before this I had also thought about applying to the sect for the position of deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion.
The sect has regulations on this. The position of deacon must not only be at the intermediate level. A middle-grade alchemist.
And he can refine five intermediate-grade elixirs in the sect with a yield rate of over 60%, and can refine ten kinds of low-grade and intermediate-grade pills with a yield rate of over 80%.”
Hearing Geng Wansheng's words, Chu Ning was slightly stunned.
It is true that he had never heard He Yanmao say such rules.
The requirement to be certified as an intermediate-level alchemist is to be able to refine intermediate-level elixirs with a yield rate of more than 60%.
But as long as you can refine one kind.
The deacon of the alchemy pavilion requires the ability to refine five intermediate-grade elixirs with a yield rate of over 60%, which is indeed a higher requirement.
At first glance, it seems easier to refine ten kinds of intermediate and low-grade elixirs with a yield rate of more than 80%.
However, Chu Ning knew that this was only relative to him.
Ordinary alchemists, even intermediate-level alchemists, can generally only refine five or six familiar low-level and intermediate-level elixirs with a yield rate of over 80%.
After all, for elixirs of this level, the medicinal materials required are not ordinary.
It is difficult for alchemists to have a large amount of elixirs to practice with.
There are even some alchemists who are only proficient in refining one or two types of elixirs.
Seeing Chu Ning's expression, a strange color flashed in Geng Wansheng's eyes, and then he continued:
"But Geng is not good at alchemy, so both requirements are met. It’s still a bit worse.
Since Junior Brother Chu has been recognized by the elders of the sect as the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, he must have met this requirement.”
As soon as Geng Wansheng said these words, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion suddenly became rich.
We are all not stupid, so how could we not understand that Geng Wansheng was a method of motivating generals.
Chun Ning said with a calm face at this moment:
“But Chu doesn’t know this rule.
Elder Gong has indeed seen the elixir I refined. But it seems that I have never seen so many kinds.”
“Wow!”
Hearing Chu Ning admit this personally, the scene was immediately in an uproar.
Those Qi Refining disciples were fine, but some of the Foundation Establishment monks had already spoken.
“Why do our sect’s internal alchemists have to abide by this rule, but others don’t?”
“That’s right, isn’t this unfair to Senior Brother Geng and others? .”
"We have all seen Brother Geng's alchemy skills before. If he can't be a deacon, how can anyone else be able to do it?"
......
For a time, in the alchemy pavilion, It's a lot of noise.
More than ten foundation-building monks looked at Chu Ning with unconvinced eyes.
Although those Qi Refining disciples did not dare to show such looks, they all had a hint of something strange.
The deacons in front of Chu Ning also had different expressions.
He Yanmao looked slightly embarrassed, obviously feeling a little distressed that the situation was out of control.
Su Yuqing's face was quite calm, and she looked at Chu Ning with curiosity, as if she wanted to see how Chu Ning would deal with this situation.
As for the older Xu Minghua, there was no expression on his face.
As for Yuan Rongzhang, he looked at Chu Ning with a bit of amusement.
Chu Ning's face was calm at this moment. His eyes glanced at everyone, and finally fell on He Yanmao.
"Senior Brother He, since all the senior brothers have doubts about my alchemy skills, you might as well arrange a test."
He Yanmao heard that Chu Ning actually took the initiative to test, and he immediately Great relief.
He has seen Chu Ning's elixir and knows that the quality of the elixir refined by Chu Ning is not low.
As for whether Chu Ning can master the method of refining so many kinds of intermediate elixirs, he doesn't know.
When He Yanmao himself invited "Master Xiao" to join, he did not expect him to be a deacon.
This is because "Master Xiao" later refined the Foundation Building Pill, and Elder Gong made an exception.
The most important thing for Chu Ning to join the Alchemy Pavilion as a deacon is to solve the problem of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After all, this elixir is still very important to the development of the sect.
Seeing Chu Ning take the initiative at this moment, He Yanmao knew that Chu Ning should be certain.
So, He Yanmao said directly:
"Okay, let's ask Junior Brother Chu to refine some elixirs. It just so happens that we can also have an exchange on alchemy."
After that, , He Yanmao said again:
“There are two alchemy rooms in this pavilion, which can be used by others to observe alchemy. There are all kinds of alchemy equipment inside, and there are forbidden protections so that they will not be disturbed.
Junior Brother Chu can go there to make elixirs, and we can all watch and learn.
I don’t know what elixirs Junior Brother Chu wants to refine, so I’ll have someone prepare some medicinal materials first.”
Chu. When Ning and He Yanmao were talking, everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion was a little surprised.
Chun Ning actually offered to test it, which was obviously very confident.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
For a while, many people were muttering to themselves.
"Could it be that Deacon Chu's alchemy skills are really amazing, and he can achieve such a high rate of alchemy?"
"If there is such an alchemy skill, our alchemy pavilion will indeed be greatly strengthened."
>Of course, some people don’t think so.
So, He Yanmao had just said this, and before Chu Ning had time to answer, Yuan Rongzhang had already said:
"Wait a minute!"
In front of everyone's greetings Looking at him, Yuan Rongzhang chuckled and said:
"Since Junior Brother Chu was brought in by Elder Gong, there must be no problem in refining intermediate-level elixirs or intermediate-low-level elixirs."
Hearing Yuan Rongzhang's words, everyone present was slightly startled.
I don’t know what Yuan Rongzhang meant by this.
You must know that Yuan Rongzhang is a descendant of Elder Jindan in the sect. He is quite conceited and does not easily praise others.
And everyone present knew that in the past half month, the person who asked Chu Ning the most diligent questions was Yuan Rongzhang.
Because this person has always been quite concerned about Geng Wansheng not getting the position of deacon.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Rongzhang's words seemed extremely strange.
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Yuan Rongzhang smiled and said:
"But I remember the request of the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, which is to refine the inheritance of our Jiuhua Sect. Pills.
After all, he is the deacon of our Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion, and the pills he refines must be suitable for the monks in the sect.”
Hearing Yuan Rongzhang’s words, everyone present. Many people's eyes became subtle.
What he said is correct. After all, before this, most of the deacons of Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion were monks of Jiuhua Sect.
The first thing they learned was the method of refining the Jiuhua Sect elixir. So you won't encounter these problems.
And now that Yuan Rongzhang has proposed it, this purpose is naturally worthy of scrutiny.
He Yanmao frowned slightly at this time, and said somewhat unhappily:
“Junior Brother Yuan, you are in a bit of trouble now.
Junior Brother Chu has just arrived. The sect has not yet come into contact with the art of alchemy.
How can he refine the inherited elixir of our sect?"
Yuan Rongzhang smiled after hearing this. Said:
"Then Junior Brother Chu can talk to Elder Gong, whether it would be more appropriate to become a deacon after becoming familiar with the alchemy skills of our Jiuhua Sect.
Otherwise, our Alchemy Pavilion will be like a pill. The supply of medicine is not available, and when other officials ask, 'Don't you still have a deacon?', we can't answer it, right?"
He Yanmao frowned and waited to say something else.
Xu Minghua on the side suddenly interrupted:
"Senior Brother He, there is a compromise. It doesn't have to be five or ten types.
You can let Junior Brother Chu take a look at our alchemy skills first. Intermediate, intermediate and intermediate Choose one or two of the low-grade ones.
If Junior Brother Chu is sure to learn it and successfully refine it in a short period of time, then I believe that Junior Brother Chu will be able to refine it naturally if he is given time." br>
"Senior Brother Xu is right." Yuan Rongzhang immediately agreed.
"Why don't the four of us designate four kinds of elixirs? Junior Brother Chu will tell us a time, and we can wait any longer."
He Yanmao was hesitating slightly, but Chu Ning had already started He answered in one step:
“I don’t have any objections. It just so happens that I am also quite interested in the sect’s alchemy skills.”
Seeing Chu Ning say this, He Yanmao took a look at it. After Chu Ning, he finally said:
"In that case, let the four of us choose four kinds of elixirs and give them to Junior Brother Chu first.
Junior Sister Su, you choose an intermediate-level pill. Elixir.”
Su Yuqing, who had been silent until now, nodded slightly. After thinking about it, he reached out and took out a jade slip from his storage bag.
"Junior Brother Chu, this elixir is called Liushen Dan. It is an intermediate-grade elixir, mainly used to strengthen spiritual consciousness.
It is the most popular among our Jiuhua Sect's foundation-building monks One of the elixirs, which contains the required medicinal materials and the refining method."
After a slight pause, Su Yuqing said calmly:
"The refining of this elixir is an intermediate-level elixir. The difficulty is medium. It is normal to refine seven pills in one furnace.
It still takes some effort to achieve a 50% elixir yield rate."
Chun Ning took it. Divine consciousness swept over the jade slip.
Sure enough, I saw the prescription and refining method of the Six God Pills recorded in it.
The difficulty of this elixir lies in the fact that there is a herb called Ningshencao, which is extremely difficult to purify or dissolve.
In addition to certain requirements for fire control, there are also certain requirements for the use of spiritual consciousness.
Chu Ning just took a look and had a rough idea. She nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Su."
As soon as Su Yuqing finished speaking, Xu Minghua also took out the words. He picked up a jade slip and continued:
"I will choose an intermediate and low-grade elixir, Zijin Dan.
This elixir is the most effective in healing among the intermediate and low-grade elixirs in our sect. Okay, it happens to be in short supply in the pavilion."
Chun Ning also took it. As an intermediate-level low-grade elixir, it is naturally easier to refine than the Liushen Pill.
I saw that the elixirs chosen by Su Yuqing and Xu Minghua were all of the same elixirs that were moderately difficult to refine.
He Yanmao breathed a sigh of relief, while Yuan Rongzhang's eyes flickered slightly.
Obviously both of them saw that the other two deacons had no intention of specifically targeting Chu Ning.
At this time Yuan Rongzhang took out a jade slip and said:
"Junior Brother Chu, as the deacon of our Jiuhua Sect, it would be great if we could refine the Jiuhua Yuan Ning Dan..."
When everyone heard the name of the Jiuhua Ning Yuan Dan, everyone His expressions became a little strange.
He Yanzong's expression changed, and Su Yuqing frowned slightly at this moment, and said:
"Junior brother Yuan, this Jiuhua Condensing Yuan Pill is the best intermediate-level pill in our sect. It is difficult to refine.
The refining of this elixir requires special fire control techniques, which condenses the essence of our Jiuhua Sect's alchemy skills.
You actually let Junior Brother Chu learn this elixir in a short time. The refining is a bit difficult.
Among us, no one except Senior Brother He can guarantee that the rate of making the elixir will exceed 50% every time."
Yuan Rongzhang listened. When he arrived, he smiled and said:
"Because of this, I specially chose the Jiuhua Condensing Pill. Didn't Junior Brother Chu just say it? I want to learn more about the alchemy skills of our Jiuhua Sect. Contact.
If Junior Brother Chu can learn this elixir refining technique, he will naturally have a deeper understanding of our Jiuhua Sect’s alchemy technique.”
Speaking of this, Yuan Rongzhang looked at Su Yuqing and said with a slight arrogance in his tone:
"Junior brother is not talented. Recently, the success rate of this pill has stabilized at more than 50%, and occasionally it can reach 60%. .
Of course, Junior Brother Chu has just come into contact with me, and I don’t ask for a pill rate.
As long as one can be refined in one furnace, I agree.”
Su Yuqing seemed a little surprised when she heard that Yuan Rongzhang actually stabilized the success rate of this pill at 50%, and did not answer the question for a while.
He Yanmao also shook his head and said: "Jiuhua Ning Yuan Dan is still too difficult. Junior Brother Yuan, please change it."
Hearing this, Yuan Rongzhang smiled again, his eyes Then he looked at Chu Ning.
"Junior Brother Chu, I wonder if you are interested in giving it a try?"
Chu Ning faced the other party's slightly irritating words with calm eyes, but he also sighed softly in his heart.
On the surface, I am the son of Gong Yuyuan's old friend. If I really want to gain a foothold in the Jiuhua Sect's Alchemy Pavilion, I have to rely on myself.
Judging from the current situation, even if I am the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, I will not be stable if I don't get everyone's approval.
This is very different from Chu Ning’s idea of finding a large sect to obtain resources and practice stably at the same time.
In this case, I might as well use this to establish my authority.
Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches!
After these thoughts passed by, Chu Ning reached out and took the jade slip from Yuan Rongzhang's hand.
"Then let me give it a try and learn the sect's alchemy technique."
As he spoke, Chu Ning also used his spiritual sense to investigate. .
With just a quick glance, Chu Ning knew that what they said was true.
It is not easy to refine this Jiuhua Ning Yuan Dan.
The biggest effect of this elixir is to strengthen the body and strengthen the mana.
In terms of effect, it is indeed only an intermediate-grade elixir, but it requires a special fire control technique to refine it.
Chun Ning guessed that this fire control technique should be used to lay the foundation for the refining of more advanced elixirs in Jiuhua Sect.
Although this fire control technique seemed mysterious and unusual at first glance, Chu Ning felt relieved.
Although this technique is not exactly the same as some of the fire control techniques he learned from the Thunder Fire Sect's original spiritual elixir collection.
However, the principles have many similarities.
Furthermore, in terms of complexity and mystery, it is simpler than some of the other techniques.
Chun Ning has Wuhuo Spirit Body and Yuandan Spirit Body in hand, so it is not difficult to learn them.
The consciousness quickly withdrew from the jade slips, and Chu Ning saw the completely different expressions of everyone present.
Yuan Rongzhang was a little sarcastic in his pride, He Yanmao was a little confused, and Su Yuqing showed a hint of curiosity again.
As for Xu Minghua, his face was still expressionless, showing no emotion or anger.
As for the rest of the people behind, they were obviously watching the fun.
Chun Ning did not think too much about everyone's thoughts. At this moment, his eyes fell on He Yanmao.
The first deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion also took out a jade slip from the storage bag at this moment, and then said:
"It's time for me to choose the upper-level and lower-level elixirs, so build "Jidan, everyone is familiar with this elixir, so I won't introduce it further."
As soon as He Yanmao said this, everyone present was stunned.
Everyone thought that with He Yanmao's character, he would definitely choose a relatively simple elixir to refine.
But unexpectedly, he chose the Foundation Establishment Pill directly.
You must know that the difficulty of refining this elixir among low-level and intermediate-level elixirs is equivalent to the difficulty of refining Jiuhua Ningyuan Dan among intermediate-level and mid-level elixirs.
It is definitely extremely difficult to achieve an 80% rate of elixir formation.
Of course, Chu Ning also understood He Yanmao's intention in making this choice.
Apparently he knew that he had been able to refine the foundation-building pill before, so he found a somewhat basic pill for himself.
"Haha, good! Senior Brother He is indeed confident in Junior Brother Chu's alchemy skills."
Yuan Rongzhang laughed after being stunned for a moment.
"Then these four kinds of elixirs. I wonder how long it will take Junior Brother Chu to study the refining of these elixirs?"
