Chapter 229 Joining Grass Valley? No! We refuse!
Many people looked on with envy.
This includes Chen Fan.
After glancing at the alchemist while sitting cross-legged in meditation, he continued to wait silently.
Soon, three more disciples from Caogu achieved the Core Formation!
Some were successful, while others were not so successful.
However, Chen Fan's alchemy furnace remained unresponsive.
He remained completely calm, simply controlling the heat silently.
Another half hour passed.
The last disciple of Caogu has also achieved the Core Formation!
The Second Elder glanced at him and declared him qualified.
At this moment, only Chen Fan remained in the arena.
Since he had not yet achieved the elixir of immortality, he naturally attracted a lot of criticism.
"What's wrong with this guy... The Mind Concentration Pill is a bit difficult to refine... but it shouldn't take this long!"
"In my opinion... something must be wrong..."
"That's right! This person is most likely a fame-seeker; it's not like Kusaya hasn't had this kind of person come before!"
"Alchemy requires talent; it's not something just anyone can do!"
……
Amidst the jeers and ridicule of the crowd.
Tianxiangzi also frowned.
Having witnessed Ji Daozi refine pills, she naturally knew that the Concentrating Spirit Pill was not difficult for this person to obtain.
But this one stumped me!
Tianxiangzi, whose reputation is difficult to assess, can only wait silently!
"Junior sister...it seems that the alchemist you recommended is all show and no substance..." Guang Anzi said sarcastically from the side!
"Shut up! Even if you're all show and no substance, you're still better than me!" Tianxiangzi glared at her and said!
Guang Anzi smiled sullenly and said no more.
However, in his opinion, this Jidaozi is most likely to make a fool of himself!
But at that moment, something unusual happened in the arena.
Suddenly, a wisp of green smoke rose from the alchemy furnace in front of Chen Fan.
The wisp of smoke drifted down with the wind, instantly spreading out!
Everyone's expression changed after smelling the fragrance of the elixir!
In particular, the Second Elder's pupils constricted slightly as he said:
"This is…"
"This is..." Tianxiangzi was also stunned for a moment, then an excited smile appeared on her face!
Chen Fan remained calm despite the situation.
After seeing the aroma emanating from the alchemy furnace, he began to control the heat.
After the furnace went out, Chen Fan got up and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
Upon closer inspection, three perfectly round and flawless Mind-Concentrating Pills lay at the bottom of the furnace.
A halo appeared on the surface of the pill, and a rich aroma of pills slowly rose!
Top-grade Mind-Concentrating Pill!
"A top-grade Spirit Concentration Pill..." the Second Elder exclaimed excitedly as he approached.
"I haven't seen anything like this in a hundred years... This elixir is worth as much as a second-grade elixir!"
What?
Top-grade Mind-Concentrating Pill?
Guang Anzi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this!
In disbelief, he instinctively took two steps back!
Only Chen Fan smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Picking up the Mind-Concentrating Pill and glancing at it twice, he said:
"I've made a fool of myself... I wonder if I could become a first-grade alchemist?"
"It will definitely happen!" the Second Elder exclaimed excitedly.
"You are so young, yet your talent for alchemy is astonishing. In my opinion... you might become a fifth-grade... no... sixth-grade or higher alchemist in the future!"
Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.
Having lived to be eighty years old, he dared not say he was young.
In Tianxiangzi's view, his silence was also a sign of modesty and humility.
With a slight smile, she said:
"Second Elder...why not invite Fellow Daoist Jidaozi to become a member of Grass Valley?"
The Second Elder nodded.
He nodded, his face beaming with excitement:
"Jidaozi... if you're willing to join... you'll become a first-grade alchemist in our Grass Valley!"
First-class alchemist?
Chen Fan shook his head inwardly.
He thought to himself that only by becoming a second-grade alchemist could he freely use herbs and medicinal materials, as Wu Yuezi had said.
Therefore, whether or not he joins Grass Valley is not very meaningful to him.
"I disagree..." Chen Fan, his mind racing, immediately refused.
"I came to Caogu... intending to become a second-grade alchemist..."
What?
Second-rank alchemist?
A hint of surprise appeared on Tianxiangzi's face.
As a first-grade alchemist, she naturally knew the difficulty of becoming a second-grade alchemist!
Looking across the entire Grass Valley, there aren't many second-grade alchemists!
The surrounding disciples were also full of surprise upon hearing this!
Looking at the young Ji Daozi who wanted to become a second-grade alchemist, there was a lot of discussion!
"A second-grade alchemist? This guy really dares to dream... Does he really think becoming a second-grade alchemist is that easy?!"
"This person has indeed the potential to become a second-grade alchemist by refining a top-grade Mind-Concentrating Pill, but... I still think he's too young!"
"That makes sense... You're too young!"
"Excuse my bluntness... but this guy is a bit ungrateful..."
……
Amidst the discussion,
Chen Fan remained calm.
He remained completely calm and simply waited for a response.
After pondering for a moment, the Second Elder, with his hands behind his back, nodded and said:
"The difficulty of the second-grade alchemist exam is ten times that of the first-grade alchemist exam. Ji Dao Zi, are you confident?"
"Yes..." Chen Fan, who had successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, was naturally confident!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this grass valley.
"You?" Guang Anzi, standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and said:
"Being a second-grade alchemist requires talent... Don't think you can..."
"Shut up!" Tianxiangzi interrupted.
"Second Elder... I believe Fellow Daoist Jidaozi can do it!"
The Second Elder nodded.
His gaze returned to calm, and then he waved his hand dramatically!
Suddenly, a pile of medicinal herbs appeared in front of Chen Fan.
It is faintly visible that these medicinal herbs are all rare and precious materials that are over a thousand years old.
Chen Fan had seen many of these medicinal herbs before, and their inherent value was self-evident.
He was so excited that he could already imagine the good life he would have as a second-grade alchemist!
"These are the ingredients for ten portions of Nourishing Essence Pills," the Second Elder said slowly.
"You have three days. If you can refine a high-grade Nourishing Essence Pill within three days, Grass Valley will recognize you as a second-grade alchemist!"
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
You should know that on the way here, he had also asked Jidaozi about some things regarding Kusaya.
This guy didn't know where Caogu came from.
But Ji Daozi knew the value of a Dan Master's status!
According to its description.
Alchemists are rare in the Eight Kingdoms, but there are many in the Southern Region.
Moreover, these alchemists were all extremely wealthy.
They hold a significant position within those cultivation kingdoms and other powerful forces.
Most cultivators would try to curry favor with and ingratiate themselves with an alchemist.
Even among the eight major sects, those alchemists are treated like precious treasures.
If he becomes a second-grade alchemist, Chen Fan estimates he can roam freely among the eight kingdoms!
My thoughts churned.
Chen Fan was somewhat excited.
Unperturbed, he glanced at the medicinal herbs before him and then picked up the formula for the Nourishing Essence Pill and looked at it twice.
After familiarizing himself with the main and auxiliary ingredients, he slowly made his selections.
According to the prescription.
The Nourishing Essence Pill is a second-grade elixir, which can restore spiritual power and strengthen the foundation of cultivation for both Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators.
The types of medicinal materials required are also numerous.
The difficulty in combining various medicinal properties also far exceeds that of the Concentrating Spirit Pill.
Even Chen Fan could only slowly select and carefully match the proportions!
This scene, when witnessed by Tianxiangzi, filled her with admiration.
Guang Anzi, who was standing to the side, was consumed by jealousy!
He had never seen his junior sister like this before, and he hated Jidaozi to death!
