From the fake emperor to the concubine

Master Zhang demonstrated the process in front of everyone, placing the herbs one by one into the medicine cauldron.

Then the fire rose in the palm of his hand and then he placed it under the medicine cauldron. The steps were dazzling. Although there were not many, it was definitely not that simple to actually operate.

"do you understand?"

Master Zhang looked at Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi looked thoughtful, nodded, and then shook his head.

He has made enough appearances today.

Even if you are a genius in alchemy, you still need to proceed step by step.

The Wang family would not pay attention to a small pawn like him, but the younger generation of the Wang family who were at the same level as him, and the person who also wanted to become an alchemy apprentice.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be some shady dealings.

As a fairy seedling, he doesn't have many means within the Wang family. What's more, these things will not take up much of his energy and can be done by using his brain.

Why not?
……

On this day, news spread that Zheng Yi was refining elixirs in the Transmission Hall.

The sound was heard again.

Wang Lei, who was preparing to travel, came to the Transmission Hall and heard the manager talking about this matter.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "This child is a role model for our Wang family. Even if he doesn't become an alchemy apprentice, we can't just watch him die. Otherwise, it will have a bad influence in the future. Besides, we are lucky to have a daughter, and she has spiritual roots. Let's warn others."

Wang Lei said slowly.

He is a practitioner in the late stage of Qi Refining.

He is the backbone of the family, with great authority and strong control.

The steward immediately agreed.

As Elder Wang left, the steward stopped a few people and warned them one by one.

As a result, Zheng Yi's life became particularly smooth over the next few days.

"My husband is going to do the alchemy test?"

"Are you sure about this, my husband?"

Within the courtyard.

Zheng Yi sat together with the three ladies in front of him.

Everyone was eating their meal, which had red dates, taro, and papaya on the table.

Wang Xue was as confident as ever: "My husband can do it!"

She puffed out her cheeks, looking like a hamster collecting food for the upcoming winter solstice, storing all the food in her little belly.

"Even if it doesn't work out, there will be another chance. Husband, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

With the birth of a child.

Wang Yumo also shifted more of her attention to her child.

This might not be the case if the child did not have spiritual roots.

But there are spiritual roots.

Men will run away, but children will not. They are her real hope for the rest of her life.

Women know what is more important than what is less important.

"Just give it a try."

Zheng Yi smiled calmly.

Although he was full of confidence, there was no need to be too confident.

Seeing that Zheng Yi, the backbone of the team, was safe and sound, the other women also felt relieved. Everyone in the yard also felt much more at ease.

But there is still inevitably a hint of expectation.

What if my own master becomes successful?
……

The Transmission Hall and the Alchemy Pavilion.

A private room at the outermost part of the attic.

Zheng Yi came here with Steward Wang.

Steward Wang said slowly: "Daoist Zheng Yi, when refining the elixir, you must not be impatient. Only in this way can you be calm and seize the opportunity, and then you can complete the alchemy smoothly."

Although what Steward Wang said was nonsense.

But at this moment, inexplicable concern can make people calm down a lot, and it can be regarded as the other party's goodwill.

"Thank you, Manager Wang."

Zheng Yi cupped his hands.

Steward Wang also showed a hint of smile on his face, "No wonder this boy is valued so much by Elder Wang, he is indeed very good at dealing with people and the world."

Afterwards, Manager Wang saw Zheng Yi enter the box with his own eyes.

There was no one else in the box except Zheng Yi.

There is also a medicine furnace needed to refine the Soul-Guiding Pill, with a certain amount of medicinal materials already placed there.

Next, everything depends on Zheng Yi.

……

"Fortunately, there is no photo stone this time, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Zheng Yi glanced at the box.

The spiritual energy is inferior.

The Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain should have a third-class spiritual vein underneath, and is a lowest-level foundation-building family. It is not easy to have such a scale.

Although Zheng Yi did not come from a small, low-ranking family, after coming to the Star Sea, he had a good understanding of the specific situations of the major families, and he understood it in his heart.

Zheng Yi smiled faintly, and earth fire rose in his right hand. The earth fire technique in his palm changed like a dragon and a phoenix, and it had reached a superb level, even those who had followed him to practice before.

Few can rival him in this regard.

"Spiritual-inducing pill?"

Zheng Yi smiled faintly, flicked his right hand, and a stream of spiritual power shot out. The ancient green bronze tripod in front of him jumped high and was pulled by Zheng Yi's spiritual sense and placed steadily under the alchemy tripod.

Zheng Yi was multitasking.

While observing the specific layout of the alchemy box, he memorized all the furnishings here in his mind, thinking of using it as his own practice residence in the future.

Although I can only make a small imitation, it is better than nothing; on the other hand, I can concentrate on making the elixir.

The herbs were placed properly according to the steps, and then they melted. The temperature of the earth fire rose sharply. The step of condensing the liquid into a pill was the most difficult, but with the intervention of Zheng Yi's spiritual consciousness at the Golden Elixir realm, it went very smoothly.

His spiritual sense could see through the situation inside the alchemy cauldron, and any slight change in it could not escape Zheng Yi's perception.

Nearly a quarter of an hour had passed. Outside the box, there was only Manager Wang. Elder Wang had already left, but the only alchemist, Master Zhang, came here.

"How's it going?"

He asked aloud.

Manager Wang was slightly stunned. "It's been more than a quarter of an hour since we went in. We should have to wait another quarter of an hour to know the result.

But why are you here, Master Zhang? Do you also think that Zheng Yi can refine the Soul-Attracting Pill?"

"It's just that I have nothing to do, so I just take a look."

Master Zhang smiled and nodded.

Manager Wang didn't ask any more questions.

How difficult it is to refine an elixir! The entire Wang family has put in all their efforts, but now they only have half of the alchemists trained by the Wang family. They want to refine the Huanglong Pill that can be used in the late stage of Qi Refining.

There is still a long way to go to become a formal third-grade alchemist.

From an alchemy apprentice to a formal third-grade alchemist.

Among them, within the Wang family, the pills are classified according to the difficulty of the pill recipes. From bottom to top, they are the Soul-Guiding Pill, the Soul-Nourishing Pill, and the Soul-Condensing Pill.

Next came the Huanglong Pill.

So far, the one with the best talent in alchemy in the Wang family is Wang Miaomiao, the granddaughter of the second elder of the Wang family.

The pills she refined were only at the level of Ningling Pill. As for the Yellow Dragon Pill, she had never succeeded even once so far. Therefore, she was only half-known as an alchemist in the Wang family.

Another quarter of an hour passed quickly.

The time had not yet come, but Zheng Yi, with an aura of spirituality, had already walked out of the box.

Seeing this scene, Master Zhang realized something.

An object appeared in his hand, which was the small bag of spirit stones that Zheng Yi had given him before.

This small bag of spirit stones was just an ordinary thing to him. It couldn't even make up for the consumption he had in his previous practice, but for a practitioner like Zheng Yi who was just starting out.

It is a crucial cornerstone.

Master Zhang was about to hand the storage bag to Zheng Yi.

Suddenly.

His eyes narrowed, his pupils shrank, and he was filled with shock. He came to Zheng Yi and patted him lightly, "Did you succeed in refining it?"

As a third-grade alchemist, he is concerned about whether the elixir is successful.

He could easily tell.

The elixir has its own fragrance when it is refined, and if he smelled it correctly, the faint lotus fragrance on Zheng Yi's body was exactly the fragrance created by a lotus root in the Wang family's elixir recipe.

"To reply to Master Zhang, it was just luck."

Zheng Yi spoke with a humble look on his face.

His right hand opened slightly, and a Spirit Attracting Pill appeared in his hand.

If an alchemist is highly skilled, he can refine three to five pills with the herbs just now. A formal alchemist like Master Zhang can basically refine five pills.

However, Zheng Yi was able to reach this level in his first time of refining the elixir. It was really unimaginable and incredible.

"It actually succeeded in refining it."

Manager Wang standing by was stunned and couldn't believe it.

But this is a soul-attracting pill.

Considering Zheng Yi's status in the Wang family, and the fact that when he entered the box just now, the guards around the Alchemy Pavilion searched him but found nothing, so all options were ruled out.

No matter how unbelievable the last answer is, it is the truth - this immortal seedling Zheng Yi is a rare alchemy genius, whose talent is probably comparable to that of the second elder's daughter, Wang Miaomiao.

The Wang family has records.

Wang Miaomiao, the daughter of the second elder, is a future alchemist that the Wang family has high hopes for. Her first attempt at alchemy was to refine two Soul-Attracting Pills, which makes her slightly stronger than Zheng Yi.

But everyone in the Wang family knew that before she had ever made pills, the granddaughter of the second elder of the Wang family had been trained in alchemy since she was young.

When it comes to the actual moment of refining the elixir, its foundation is not something that an ordinary layman can compare with.

So let’s make a horizontal comparison.

Zheng Yi's talent is slightly better than that of the second elder's granddaughter.

"Great, great, wonderful!"

“When one day you can refine a Soul-Nourishing Pill that is better than the Soul-Attracting Pill, come find me again.

By then, I may be able to accept you as my registered disciple.

If you can refine the Soul Condensing Pill, you will be my second disciple."

The alchemy apprentice is in the Wang family.

There are also distinctions of high and low in front of Master Zhang. Up to now, Wang Miaomiao is his only direct disciple, and the rest are alchemy apprentices.

Despite the Wang family's vigorous training, he was nothing more than a nominal disciple.

The Soul-Guiding Pill is only the first step for the Wang family to evaluate their alchemy apprentices.

The Yunling Pill is the true symbol of an alchemy apprentice. After all, the effect of the Yinling Pill is too weak. Only the Yunling Pill can maintain the practice of the initial stage of Qi Refining, and the Ningling Pill can barely be used in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

The Yellow Dragon Pill is the elixir that is most urgently needed at the Qi Refining Realm.

At this time, Zheng Yi was neither out of breath nor expressionless.

He is still as calm and modest as ever.

When Master Zhang saw this scene, he praised it in his heart, "With this state of mind, alchemy will surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

No wonder this boy was able to succeed in one fell swoop, maybe it was due to some luck and timing, but this kind of mentality must also be crucial."

Master Zhang's face flushed and he turned and left.

When Manager Wang saw Zheng Yi again, there was a bit more respect on his face.

He no longer regarded Zheng Yi as just an ordinary fairy seedling in the Wang family.

"Zheng Yi, come with me.

After becoming the family's alchemy apprentice, even if one can only refine the Soul-Attracting Pill, one is considered a member of the family.

As long as you refine ten Soul-Attracting Pills every month, the family will give you a certain amount of Spirit Stones."

Zheng Yi and Manager Wang walked forward.

Zheng Yi listened to all the benefits of the Yinling Pill for the family's alchemy apprentice and nodded.

"The Wang family of Piao Miao Mountain is still very conscientious. No wonder I saw that Elder Wang was so righteous before. I guess these family rules don't depend on relationships.

This is the true positive cycle of family development.

As long as you don't encounter those ungrateful people, it will generally be mutually beneficial and you can rise to the top."

Zheng Yi was also very happy.

Before leaving the training hall, the news that Zheng Yi became an alchemy apprentice had already spread to everyone.

Inside the Wang family’s territory, many members of the Wang family also looked surprised.

“That person is an alchemy apprentice, far from being comparable to Zheng Yi who broke through to the first level of Qi Refining.

This kid is so lucky that he succeeded on his first try."

"It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. If it weren't for Master Zhang's guidance in advance, I probably wouldn't even know how to refine the Soul-Attracting Pill.

The only genius in alchemy in my Wang family is Wang Miaomiao, who has already refined two Soul-Attracting Pills in her first attempt, and she is a real talent."

The Wang family members competed with each other one by one.

Although Zheng Yi was belittled, it still did not change the fact that Zheng Yi became an alchemy apprentice.

When the news spread back to where the Xianmiao people lived, it caused a complete uproar.

Among all the occupations in cultivating immortals, alchemy is king.

This is almost everyone’s consensus.

"Daoyou Zheng Yi has become an apprentice in alchemy. It is incredible that a bunch of immortal seedlings like me can have such an opportunity and fate."

“I knew that Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi was extremely talented. He had already broken through to the first level of Qi Refining within half a year. This meant that although he had low-grade spiritual roots, he was probably not far from having medium-grade spiritual roots.

Now that he has broken through to the first level of Qi Refining, and with the ability to refine pills, he is probably the first among us Immortal Seedlings to break through to the second level of Qi Refining."

“If I can seize the opportunity in the future and obtain the realm-breaking pill that everyone dreams of, I can break through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining and become a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. That may not be impossible.

Although there is only a small realm difference between the intermediate and primary levels of Qi Refining, in the Wang family and the entire cultivation world, the treatment within the realm of Qi Refining is very different.

There is only this one level of difference between low-level monks and high-level monks.

The fourth level of Qi Refining is worthy of attention.

This is because the spiritual power of the fourth level of Qi Refining has reached a certain total amount, so he can release all kinds of combat spells without any scruples, but this is not enough for the third level of Qi Refining.

When Zheng Yi came back from the Transmission Hall.

A group of immortal seedlings came forward one after another, their mouths full of praise, without any trace of disdain and indifference from before.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi, please come quickly. We have prepared a welcoming banquet for you today."

"Ha ha ha ha.

Let’s see how the Wang family members still look down on us immortal seedlings.” (End of this chapter)
