Chapter 52 Promotion
Ling Yunfeng.

Li Yu showed his identity jade badge in front of the peak gate, and said to the disciples on duty, "I'm here for the first-rank alchemist assessment."

When the door guard disciple saw Li Yu, he was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out, "Isn't this Senior Brother Li? You've come to take the first-rank alchemist exam so soon!"

Li Yu has a lot of popularity in the sect, not to mention all the disciples, but there are almost no alchemists who don't know about Li Yu. After all, in the most critical round of the competition, while flirting with female disciples Qiao, who can refine ten top-quality pills in a daze, this is the only one for hundreds of years.

The gatekeeper disciple enthusiastically brought Li Yu to the examination place of a first-rank alchemist.

This is a hall located on the mountainside of Lingyun Peak. When Li Yu entered the hall, there were still several figures here, all of whom should have come to conduct the first-rank alchemist assessment.

Everyone's eyes swept over Li Yu, and they began to discuss in a low voice.

"Isn't this the leader of the big competition, he also came to be promoted to a first-rank alchemist?"

"It should be that after becoming the leader, you will no longer be able to participate in future competitions. Every leader will be promoted to the first rank within a very short period of time."

"Da Bi has only passed a few days, it seems that he should have been able to refine the first-order elixir."

……

Li Yu sat in the rest area and waited. The Kunlun sect had the most alchemists, and every day people participated in the first-rank alchemist assessment.

In front of the main hall, there is a row of stone chambers, and people come in and out from time to time.

The people who went in were basically anxious, and the people who came out were roughly divided into two types, one was smiling, and the other was downcast. From their expressions, one could tell the result of the assessment.

The alchemy apprentice successfully promoted to the first-rank alchemist, and his status immediately changed. The monthly subsidy increased from one hundred spirit coins to one thousand spirit coins. Not only did he have his own villa, but he also had a personal secretary.

And if the promotion fails this time, the next time to participate in the assessment will have to wait until a year later.

After all, it was about the future, and everyone who was waiting with Li Yu looked a little nervous.

Li Yu's expression was always indifferent. He had already refined the first-level elixir countless times, and he could easily handle it without even opening it. Participating in the assessment was nothing more than a process.

This confident expression, in the eyes of others, naturally aroused a lot of emotion.

The leader of the big competition is the leader of the big competition, and I am afraid that he has already known about this assessment.

Li Yu waited for more than an hour, and an old man walked out of a certain stone room. Li Yu saw at a glance that there was a pill furnace with two patterns embroidered on the chest of the robe he was wearing, indicating that this was a second-grade alchemy division.

The most people in the world of cultivating immortals are alchemy apprentices. Most of them will only be first-rank alchemists in their entire lives. Regardless of Kunlun who started with alchemy, there are no more than two hundred second-rank alchemists in the sect. If any one of them leaves Kunlun will be sought after by other forces.

The old man walked to the door of the stone room and said, "Next, Li Yu."

Li Yu stood up, and the old man looked at him twice before saying, "Come in."

Although he didn't watch the big competition this time, he knew about Li Yu's affairs. When they met for the first time, just this calm attitude made him look at him differently.

Following the second-rank alchemist into the stone room, Li Yu glanced briefly. The stone room is not big, and the display is also very simple. There are two stone platforms, one with jade bottles and bowls, and the other stone platform. On the bed, there is a pill furnace about one foot high.

On the two walls of the stone chamber, there are two medicine shelves filled with fresh medicinal herbs.

There were only Li Yu and the old man here, and the old man didn't have much to say, and asked, "You should know the examination rules for first-rank alchemists, right?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "To refine three kinds of first-grade pills, each kind of pill has three ingredients, and ten top-grade pills need to be refined."

The old man said: "It seems that you have understood it all, which three kinds of elixirs do you choose?"

Li Yu had planned it long ago, and said, "Huiqi Pill, Bigu Pill, and Baoyuan Pill."

The old man was slightly surprised. Huiqi Pill and Bigu Pill are the simplest first-level pills, and they are also the two must-choices for those who are promoted to the first-rank alchemist. Baoyuan Pill is slightly more difficult to refine, and few people will know it. selected during the assessment.

However, it is his freedom to choose what kind of elixir to refine, and if he fails at that time, he can't blame himself.

He pointed to the herbs on the medicine shelf, and said: "The ingredients for Huiqi Pill and Bigu Pill are here, and Baoyuan Pill still lacks a few ingredients. The old man will let someone prepare it now. You refine the other two first, and now you can prepare them." It's time to start."

The medicinal herbs needed for the first-grade alchemist assessment need to be selected from many medicinal herbs by oneself. If some alchemists are used to letting others prepare the medicinal liquid, and they don’t know the medicinal herbs themselves, they can go out and turn right at this point, and prepare to take the exam next year. up.

This was not difficult for Li Yu. After all, he had been a herb-gathering boy for more than ten years, so he had some talent for identifying herbs.

"Sky Heart Grass, Cold Snow Ginseng, Green Spirit Flower, Mint Leaf..." He walked around the medicine rack, and quickly gathered the materials he needed.

During this process, Li Yu discovered that there is something wrong with this level. Many elixir and elixir look very similar, but their medicinal properties are completely different. If you don't have a special understanding of herbs, you will accidentally choose the wrong one.

Alchemy is an extremely precise process, once the wrong choice is made, the refining will inevitably fail.

No wonder the passing rate of the first-rank alchemist assessment is so low. Just this level alone has to eliminate many people.

The old man looked at the herbs that Li Yu had picked out, and nodded slightly. Being able to pick out what he needed from the dazzling array of herbs showed that his basic skills were solid, which was the basis for becoming an alchemist.

After finding all the materials, the next step is to take the liquid and purify it.

Naturally, there is no problem with these Li Yu, but he is still a little worried. The materials of the first-order pills are not high-grade, but when it comes to the second-order and third-order pills, they will definitely use high-level main materials. , he may have to wear special gloves, otherwise, all the spiritual power of the medicinal materials will be absorbed by the pill furnace in his body.

But it's not very convenient to wear gloves. You still have to train Senior Sister Zhou well, so she can do these things for her in the future.

Li Yu has long been familiar with refining first-order elixir.

If he was serious, he could produce ten elixirs in each furnace, about half of which were top-grade and half of which were super-grade. Super grade, five top grade.

In the second batch of Qi-returning pills, he refined five, three top-grade and two super-grade.

At this time, the old man said: "You have already refined two furnaces, you can rest for a few hours, and then refine the second one."

Li Yu took out a bottle of Huiqi Pill and said, "No, I can do it."

It took him two batches of bigu pills to get together. At this time, he couldn't perform too well. Once the Zongmen knew that his success rate of pills was 100%, he would only be given one of each batch of pills. materials, he became a pure laborer.

After successfully refining Bigu Pill, he also did not choose to rest and continued refining Baoyuan Pill.

For the final Baoyuan Pill, Li Yu used three parts of materials to refine twelve pills, with an average of only four pills per furnace, but the quality is not bad, among which eight are high-grade and four are super-grade.

When Li Yu was refining alchemy, the second-rank alchemist beside him had been watching him.

He was also full of curiosity about this legendary junior who entered the realm of heaven and man that alchemists dreamed of in the competition.

His performance in the assessment this time was just average, not particularly amazing, and he did not enter the realm of heaven and man. The quality of the pills he refined was good, but the success rate of pills could not be compared with the real geniuses of the sect. Can only be considered excellent.

However, after refining seven furnaces in succession, he was only a little tired. This perseverance is indeed amazing.

Li Yu placed three bottles of pills on the stone platform and asked, "Senior, is it all right?"

The old man nodded and said: "Congratulations, from now on, you are a first-rank alchemist."

After a while, Li Yu walked out of the stone room.

Without any accident, he successfully passed the examination of a first-rank alchemist.

In another hall, Li Yu received a new uniform. He used to wear a disciple uniform. This new uniform is exclusive to first-rank alchemists. There is a beautiful pattern on the alchemy furnace embroidered on the chest, representing With the identity of a first-rank alchemist.

In front of a huge sand table, a deacon disciple was introducing to Li Yu: "Senior brother, you can choose any of the other courtyards in these peaks. Most of the people living in Qingyun Peak are alchemists. I recommend you choose this place the most. The peak is not bad either. Most of the people living here are young brothers and sisters like you. Some foundation-building elders whose lifespan is about to expire..."

Li Yu said without any hesitation, "Let's choose Ziyun Peak."

As an alchemist, Li Yu spends most of his time refining alchemy in his own yard, and it doesn't make any difference to him who lives around him.

He only knew that the young senior brothers and sisters of the Zongmen, no matter in the Qi refining period or the Foundation building period, were all Moonlight Clan without exception. The extra spirit coins are used to buy his things.

The foundation-building elders who are nearing the end of their lifespan are different. Most of them have no hope of forming alchemy and start to enjoy life. They are Li Yu's target customers.

If you don't bring the spirit coins with you when you are born, or if you don't take them with you when you die, it doesn't make any sense to them whose lifespan is about to expire.

Rich and generous are their common characteristics.

Moreover, compared to young people, Li Yu actually prefers to chat with these old people who have lived for 200 years. After all, they have lived more than 200 years longer than him and have rich life experience. Avoid many detours.

[Ps: Thank you to the leader of "Don't care about it" for rewarding, the leader of several books, I really appreciate it. 】
