The cultivation of immortality by mortals begins with the abandoned children of the river

While everyone was busy refining the elixir, Zhan Nianchuan, who had been thinking quietly with his eyes closed, looked particularly weird.

Seeing Zhan Nianchuan standing motionless, the thin old man thought that Zhan Nianchuan wanted to break the contract and not gamble, so he said with a bit of joking: "Anyone who applies for the assessment and does not practice in the assessment site will be regarded as contempt for the Alchemy Palace and will not be allowed to apply again for life." Assessment, and the sect’s qualifications for elixir distribution will be cancelled.”

Zhan Nianchuan turned a deaf ear and his thoughts kept spinning.

He wanted to try to refine this spirit-gathering pill, and he was sure of it.

Thinking about how he succeeded in refining the Awakening Pill for the first time, now his alchemy skills and the spiritual power in his body are far from what he was before. It should not be a problem to refine this spirit-gathering pill which is similar in difficulty to the Awakening Pill.

Another reason is that the Spirit Gathering Pill is also the most common pill in the Qi Condensation Realm, with many users. Although Zhan Nianchuan has never taken it, he has heard about its effects.

But he no longer had any spirit stones to buy spirit-gathering elixirs and materials. Since they were readily available here, of course he had to give them a try. What's more, the assessment is not too harsh, giving enough refining time and materials that can be refined three times.

He didn't believe that he couldn't refine it even after three opportunities to refine it.

After making up his mind, Zhan Nianchuan reached out and picked up the pill prescription.

Master Qian and the thin old man realized that Zhan Nianchuan was still studying the elixir recipe, and couldn't help but look at each other with smiles on their faces.

"You're not even familiar with elixirs and why are you here to take the assessment?" The thin old man's words were full of sarcasm.

The recipe for the Spirit-Gathering Pill is well-known among those who aspire to become alchemists, and it is not mysterious at all, because the Spirit-Gathering Pill is the most popular and widely used low-level pill in the human cultivation world, and it is also The most common question in the first-grade alchemist examination.

A guy like Zhan Nianchuan, who didn't even know the recipe for the Spirit-Gathering Pill, came to take part in the Alchemist Assessment. It was a joke within a joke.

Zhan Nianchuan smiled lightly when he heard this, "Who said you can't make elixirs without being familiar with them? If you don't believe it, you can bet five hundred spiritual stones with me."

"It's a bet." The thin old man agreed directly. In his opinion, this was no different from giving away spiritual stones directly.

What Zhan Nianchuan never expected was that Master Qian, who was adjusting his breath with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "I'm also interested in taking a gamble."

Zhan Nianchuan was stunned and heard Master Qian say solemnly: "But the bet needs to be changed. If you can't refine it, you will never be able to step into the alchemy palace!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience trembled in their hearts. For any monk who loves alchemy, being unable to enter the alchemy hall is equivalent to cutting off all possibilities for advancement in the alchemy path. .

"You old bastard! I want you to look good today!" Zhan Nianchuan cursed in his heart.

Since Master Qian was malicious towards him, Zhan Nianchuan was no longer polite.

"I'll take it, but I have to change the bet. If I win, I'll get the recipe for the Spiritual Pill, plus two thousand low-grade spiritual stones. How about that?"

"Is this kid bluffing me?" Master Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling uncertain in his heart, but he said without any sign of weakness: "I bet."

Zhan Nianchuan's face was expressionless, except for a flash of coldness in the deepest part of his eyes.

......

He closed his eyes slightly and rehearsed the entire refining process and precautions mentioned in the recipe in his mind, striving to succeed the first time!

"Hmph, I'm still pretending to be an expert until now." The thin old man snorted coldly.

This deduction lasted for half an hour.

Not far away, Liu Feifan had finished refining the essence of the spiritual grass and elixir and was about to start smelting the elixir.

Looking up, Zhan Nianchuan was still standing motionless on the stone platform with his eyes closed, with no intention of starting to refine the elixir. He couldn't help but be surprised.

"Are you giving up the useless struggle? Haha..." Liu Feifan smiled.

.a quarter of an hour later.

Zhan Nianchuan opened his eyes, set up his own spirit gathering array on the ground, sat cross-legged on it and began to absorb spiritual power to help him refine elixirs.

This slightly weird behavior naturally attracted everyone's attention, and there was a lot of ridicule, and some people even laughed out loud.

"First level of Qi Condensation, my God, this kind of person still comes to take the alchemy master examination?"

"Haha~ There is such an operation, it's so funny. You need the help of the Spirit Gathering Array to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill?"

"If this kid can successfully refine it, I'll just stand on my head and shit."

"Where did this guy get so many broken spiritual stones? Did he pick them up on the street?

......

Faced with everyone's wanton ridicule and sarcasm, Zhan Nianchuan turned a deaf ear and calmly opened the fire outlet. Orange-red flames spurted out and began to heat the alchemy furnace.

The thin old man and Master Qian also saw Zhan Nianchuan's behavior. They were surprised and also found it funny. They had never heard of the spirit gathering array being used to refine the lowest-level elixir.

"This kid is really weird. Brother Qian, look at his alchemy skills. You don't know where he came from. Also, the runes on the spirit gathering array look a bit weird." The thin old man laughed. said.

"A little guy who is at the first level of Qi Condensation and is not even familiar with the recipe for Spirit Gathering Pills knows how to make alchemy. He is just here to cause trouble. As for the Spirit Gathering Array, I don't know where he picked it up. ." Master Qian's words were full of disdain.

While the two were talking, Zhan Nianchuan sensed that the temperature of the furnace had reached a suitable level, and immediately waved out the magic formula with both hands. Various spiritual herbs and elixirs flew into the alchemy cauldron one by one and began to refine the spiritual essence.

When the thin old man saw Zhan Nianchuan's flowing skills, there was a hint of disappointment in the depths of his eyes. Although Master Qian seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, he was actually fully conscious, paying attention to Zhan Nianchuan's every move.

Half an hour later, the essences of the six main medicines and five auxiliary medicines were all refined and packed into eleven jade boxes, most of which exuded fiery fire aura.

After adjusting his breath for about a quarter of an hour, when the spiritual power in his body was restored, Zhan Nianchuan waved his hand again and fired the magic formula, and the fire in the furnace suddenly increased by 20%, without missing a beat.

The thin old man's brows suddenly wrinkled, and Master Qian, who had been closing his eyes to meditate next to him, also opened his eyes, his eyes particularly solemn.

Zhan Nianchuan waved his hands together like butterflies piercing flowers, and the spiritual essences in more than a dozen jade boxes immediately flew up together, and instantly condensed into balls of different sizes in the air.

Not bad at all!

By this time, the eyes of Master Qian and the thin old man were filled with horror.

"What precise control! What strong mental power!"

"No...it can't be!" The faces of the lean old man and Master Qian turned gloomy, and they had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

At this point in the assessment, many disciples on the other stone platforms have failed to refine. They kept shaking their heads and cursing in a low voice. After adjusting their breathing slightly, they began to refine for the second time.

Some disciples are progressing smoothly, and have smelted the spiritual liquid evenly, and have begun to enter the most difficult stage of elixir condensation.

Among them, Liu Feifan has made the fastest progress!

However, none of this could divert the eyes of the lean old man and Master Qian at all. There was only that man in their dilated pupils!

Fight Nianchuan!

Every neutralization of the main and auxiliary drugs, every temperature change, every addition of weight, every drop of spiritual liquid smelting... it's all so smooth and natural, with a natural rhythm and flowing water, without any difference, wonderful. To a millimeter.

In a daze, the two of them even had the feeling of seeing the great elder of the Alchemy Palace refining alchemy again.

Their hearts began to sink little by little.
