Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road
Chapter 656 Assessment
"Friend Li, you have had a good life these years." Wu Tianyou couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Qianqing.
Today, Wu Tianyou is not far from the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
After he reaches the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage, it shouldn't take long for him to break through to the Void Refinement Stage. After all, in his previous life, Wu Tianyou eventually became the master of the Nanmo City Dan Palace branch.
"Hahaha, that's not bad." Li Qianqing smiled back, and then said, "Looking at your current appearance, Elder Wu, I think it won't be long before you become the deputy hall master of this branch hall."
Wu Tianyou accepted Li Qianqing's blessing, but did not continue talking about this topic. He turned the topic back to Li Qianqing.
"I never thought that you could open up a space channel in the Fanmao Realm. I underestimated you before."
Previously, when Li Qianqing had enough contribution points to become an honorary deacon of Dan Temple, Wu Tianyou invited Li Qianqing to join Dan Temple, but Li Qianqing refused on the grounds that he wanted to build up his own power in the spirit world.
At that time, he also said that the spiritual world was different from the mortal world, and it was not an easy task to complete the establishment of a divine force.
Opening up a space channel and transferring all the cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage and above from the lower realm can indeed be a perfect solution to this problem.
The reason why Wu Tianyou knew so much was naturally because he paid close attention to Li Qianqing later.
A cultivator with a talent for alchemy like Li Qianqing is worthy of his attention.
He knew that Li Qianqing was now the head of the Li family in Fanmaojie. He also knew that they had established a family ancestral land in the area near Liuyun City. He also knew that most of the elixirs sold in the Li family shop were made by Li Qianqing.
Although Li Qianqing did not continue to accept tasks in the Dan Palace, he did not waste his talent in alchemy, so he was still quite happy.
After the two exchanged greetings, Li Qianqing told them the purpose of his visit to Wu Tianyou.
"Elder Wu, I came here this time mainly for the alchemy competition."
Wu Tianyou could easily guess why Li Qianqing was here. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You didn't come to the alchemy competition a thousand years ago. I thought you were not interested in this alchemy competition."
"Hahaha. With my level from a thousand years ago, participating in the alchemy competition is just a formality."
"It seems that you are very confident in your alchemy skills now."
"Of course." Li Qianqing smiled confidently.
"That's good. We'll go to the main hall together in a few days."
Wu Tianyou also meets the criteria for participating in the alchemy competition. Once he breaks through to the Void Refining Stage, he will no longer be able to participate in the alchemy competition.
Even if cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage can participate, there is not much point in doing so, because the rewards for the Alchemy Competition are mainly for cultivators in the Spirit Transformation stage.
For example, the Five Elements Pill Roots rewarded this time are of no use to cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage.
To put it simply, the alchemy competition is to motivate talented alchemists in the Spirit Transformation Stage, hoping that they can grow better in the future.
Shortly after Li Qianqing explained his purpose, Wu Tianyou reported his information.
There is another benefit to reporting information in a timely manner. When transmitting information from Nanmo City to Danhe City where the Dan Palace’s headquarters is located, there is no need to pay any spirit stones. The Dan Palace will pay for the round-trip expenses.
You can also register at the Dan Palace headquarters, but you will have to pay an extra amount of spirit stones. When you come back, you can use the teleportation array, and the fee will still be charged to the Dan Palace.
Afterwards, under Wu Tianyou's arrangement, Li Qianqing lived in the Dan Palace branch for a month.
During this period, Li Qianqing also took on a simple alchemy task and completed it just before leaving Nanmo City.
When they set out, Wu Tianyou was accompanied by two men and one woman. Like Li Qianqing, they were all alchemists who had signed up for the alchemy competition, and they were all invited by Wu Tianyou to go with him.
Those who were invited by Wu Tianyou, in addition to having a good relationship with him, also had a good talent for alchemy.
After other alchemists register with him, he is responsible for reporting the information and will not retain them.
……
In the northern part of the Renling region, Danhe City.
Danhe City is a large city, but its scale has surpassed that of ordinary large cities.
In a large city like this, there is always at least one cultivator in the fusion stage guarding it all year round, and you may also encounter a Mahayana cultivator.
Of course, the possibility of encountering a Mahayana cultivator is extremely small. You should know that there are less than ten Mahayana cultivators in the human race.
The master of the main hall of the Dan Palace is not only a ninth-rank alchemist, but also a Mahayana cultivator. Up to now, he has been sitting in this position for at least 50,000 years.
In the alchemy competition, the highest host is only the elder of the main hall of the Alchemy Palace. It is difficult for these alchemists to meet the deputy hall master, let alone the hall master of the main hall.
"See you in three days, everyone."
"See you in three days."
After arriving in Danhe City, everyone parted ways temporarily.
The alchemy competition will begin in three days, and they will all go to the Alchemy Palace headquarters.
Li Qianqing had never seen the three deacons of the Dan Palace branch who followed Wu Tianyou in his previous life. However, one of them later became a famous alchemist, and he had heard of him.
In the next three days, Li Qianqing visited the monks' market in Danhe City.
The point was to patronize the monks who were setting up stalls to see if there was a chance to pick up a bargain, but in the end, nothing was purchased.
It still depends on luck to find a bargain.
...
The main hall of the Alchemy Palace is unusually lively today, with talented alchemists from all over the place gathering here.
The alchemy competition held once every thousand years is about to begin, and this competition has also attracted many monks living in Danhe City.
If you want to watch the alchemists' alchemy competition, you need to buy a ticket.
The ticket costs one hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
The ticket locations are divided into inner and outer areas.
Both are priced at one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, but the difference is that the tickets to the inner area are only sold to alchemists.
As a contestant, Li Qianqing has entered the main hall of the Dan Palace with Wu Tianyou and four others and arrived at the place where they will be taking the assessment.
You have to score above 90 points in the assessment to be eligible to participate in the final alchemy competition.
The assessment is divided into two levels, each worth 50 points.
"I hope you guys can't even pass the assessment, otherwise I will be laughed at by a group of old guys." Wu Tianyou couldn't help but say when the assessment was about to begin.
As elders of the Dan Palace's branch halls, there is also a secret competition between the elders of each branch hall.
The alchemists they brought here also served as his faces.
If the alchemists brought by Wu Tianyou cannot even pass the assessment, then the four words "old and blurry eyesight" will accompany him for at least a thousand years.
The title of "a discerning eye for talent" is what he wants.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. If I can't pass the test, I will never make pills again."
"If you can't even identify the medicine, then you really shouldn't make pills."
No one would think that they can't even pass the assessment. The assessment is at most just a test. It is very unlikely that one can become an honorary deacon of the Dan Palace branch.
Of course, the assessment stage cannot be taken lightly. In previous alchemy competitions, there have been alchemists who have failed at the assessment stage.
"Those whose names are called will enter the examination room in order. Wu Tianyou, Li Qianqing..."
"It's our turn, hurry over."
"it is good."
When you enter the examination room, the examination officially begins. In the first stage of the examination, a spiritual medicine will be displayed in front of you. You just need to tell the grade of the spiritual medicine and its effect.
If this is a spiritual plant master's assessment, it will be more detailed, such as the year the spiritual medicine grows, when it enters the maturity period, what to do at each stage of the growth period, etc...
The current assessment was not difficult for Li Qianqing.
There were fifty kinds of elixirs, and when the pictures appeared, he gave corresponding answers for each one.
"Congratulations, you got all the answers right and scored 50 points. Now we will move on to the second stage of the assessment."
The ones who tested them were not humans, but the spirits of the auxiliary magic weapons left by the ancestors of the Dan Palace.
It is said that the main body of this magic weapon is a medicine basket, but no one has ever seen it except the top leaders of the Alchemy Palace.
The second level of the test also presents a series of pictures. The difference from the previous level is that this time the pictures only show three places on the spiritual medicine, and they have to answer the corresponding spiritual medicine based on these characteristics.
Compared with the previous level, even experienced alchemy masters may make mistakes in this level. The total score required to pass the test is 90 points. As long as Li Qianqing does not make an outrageous 11 wrong answers, he can pass the test.
There were still fifty questions. Li Qianqing only got stuck on two of them. He gave the answers to the others very smoothly.
"Congratulations on passing the test!"
In the end, he passed the test with full marks.
This is also what he requires of himself. He was already a master of alchemy in his previous life. If he cannot do this, he will reflect on himself.
"Contestant, what elixir are you going to refine next?"
"Sixth-level lower grade, Huaxu Pill."
"it is good."
After the weapon spirit's voice disappeared, a line appeared on the honorary deacon's token on his waist. The line flashed for only a moment and quickly disappeared.
This is a sign that he has passed the test.
After passing the assessment, you need to explain to the weapon spirit what kind of elixir you want to refine in the final competition.
The elixirs needed to refine pills will be provided by the Alchemy Palace.
The Alchemy Palace recommends not refining overly niche elixirs. If the Alchemy Palace does not have the corresponding elixir, there are only two options left.
First, prepare it yourself.
The second is disqualification.
In the beginning, there was no such rule. Until one alchemy competition, someone wanted to refine a very rare sixth-grade low-grade elixir, and the Alchemy Palace did not have the necessary skills to refine this elixir, so this rule was established.
Disqualification is no joke.
If you refine a pill that is too unconventional, the chief elder of the Alchemy Palace will have reason to say that you are looking for trouble.
The sixth-grade inferior Huaxu Pill that Li Qianqing was going to refine could also be directly called the inferior Huaxu Pill. It was one of the most popular pills among cultivators in the Huoshen period. In previous alchemy competitions, many alchemists in the late Shenhua period had used the inferior Huaxu Pill to participate in the final competition.
Huaxudan, Li Qianqing is good at refining it.
The pills he was good at refining were easier to control, so he could create results that suited his taste.
It can be excellent, but not too outrageous.
When Li Qianqing came out, everyone else was taking the test.
At this time, he did not attract the attention of many alchemists.
There were alchemists who were faster than him before, and none of these alchemists thought that they were worse than Li Qianqing.
They are all senior fifth-level or ordinary sixth-level alchemists, and they all have their own pride.
"Friend Li, I didn't expect you to come out already." Wu Tianyou was a little surprised when he saw Li Qianqing. He thought that among the five people, he, the most experienced one, would finish the assessment the fastest. "How did the assessment go?"
“Already approved.”
"Okay, okay... By the way, how many points did you get?"
"Elder Wu, I passed with full marks." Li Qianqing smiled slightly.
When he smiled, Wu Tianyou felt a little embarrassed, because his test score this time was 99 points.
The first level was very simple, but the main reason was that the characteristics of the two elixirs in the second level were too similar, which led to his mistake.
Last time he had 98 points, so this time it’s considered an improvement.
"Very good, very good. The young are indeed promising." Wu Tianyou nodded in the end, but did not say that he had scored 99 points.
Seeing this, Li Qianqing naturally did not take the initiative to ask. When he answered that he had scored full marks, he would definitely explain it if Wu Tianyou's score was the same as his.
The next three people also came out.
Their scores were between ninety-five and ninety-seven.
According to statistics from the Alchemy Palace, the majority of alchemists had test scores between ninety-four and ninety-seven points, accounting for more than ninety percent.
The main problems occurred in the second level of assessment.
There are many magical medicines in the world that look very similar, and you can't tell them apart unless you look carefully.
It would be fine if these elixirs were placed in front of us, but the test not only gives us pictures, but also only gives us three parts, which increases the difficulty of the test.
Since the subjects of the assessment are all alchemists at the Spiritual Transformation level, the final result is actually not that bad. If it is an alchemist below the Spiritual Transformation level, it will not be easy to reach 90 points.
Over thousands of years, the experience of alchemists in identifying elixirs would increase greatly.
After everyone came out, under the leadership of Wu Tianyou, the five of them went to the real alchemy competition.
The alchemy competition is held once every thousand years, and there are about two thousand alchemists participating. Except for the Renling region with more than two hundred participants, the other regions have less than two hundred people, and some regions have less than a hundred people.
The number of alchemists coming from Qianfeng area this time is 130.
The five people came to a hall. At this moment, many alchemists had gathered here.
"This way." Wu Tianyou still walked at the front of the team.
Li Qianqing followed Wu Tianyou to a counter and soon after he showed his token as the honorary deacon of the Dan Temple branch, he received a number card.
The number on the card is six hundred and seventy-five.
"Next, just wait."
After the five of them received the corresponding number tags, Wu Tianyou took them to a place in the hall to wait.
The final competition will begin only after all registered alchemists have completed the assessment.
While they were waiting, there were five alchemists who came to talk to them. They all came to find Wu Tianyou.
These five alchemists are all elders from other branch halls in the Alchemy Palace.
Among the elders of the branch halls, Wu Tianyou has relatively long seniority and knows many of them.
Li Qianqing and the other three alchemists chatted from time to time, and most of the content of the conversation revolved around alchemy.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what kind of elixir are you going to make for the competition?" asked the only female alchemist among the three.
"I refined the Huaxu Pill." Li Qianqing answered truthfully. (End of this chapter)
