Chapter 232 Half-year Assessment: Diligence Can Make Up for One's Shortcomings

After Yang Xuan successfully refined the qualified quality of the tendon strengthening pill mud, he used the mold he had prepared earlier to start making the mud into pill mud.

After these qualified quality tendon-strengthening pills are made into pills, he can take them slowly or exchange them for other cultivation resources.

He has not passed the formal alchemist assessment yet, but once he is promoted to a formal alchemist, these pills can naturally be exchanged reasonably and can also be used to complete tasks.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with him taking it himself. It can provide him with some medicinal energy, and it won't be a waste no matter how he uses it.

“Finally the mold I prepared came in handy!”

Yang Xuan took out the mold he had prepared earlier and was quite emotional.

Previously, the quality of the pill mud was not up to standard, so he did not use a mold to make pills. Instead, he simply made them into pieces, took them directly, and then extracted the medicinal properties.

Now the value of these Danni is different, so this is naturally not possible.

The process of making pills with a mold is similar to that of rubbing the pills, except that using a mold is faster, more regular, and more convenient.

With the mold being made, one muscle-strengthening pill after another was successfully produced and appeared in front of Yang Xuan, who put them one by one into the prepared pill bottle.

At this point, all the steps of refining the Strengthening Muscle Pills are completed. Of course, this final step does not require any technical content and is not that important to the entire process of refining the Strengthening Muscle Pills.

Even if Yang Xuan doesn't do it, someone else can do it. After all, it's not a technical job.

Some alchemists would hire servants or apprentices to handle chores like these, thus saving some time.

After all, as long as you are familiar with the steps, this kind of thing will be done, and many alchemists will not spend too much time on it.

If Yang Xuan passes the formal alchemist assessment, he will be able to recruit some servants and apprentices to help him. These people will basically be selected from the menial disciples and outer disciples of the Purple Mansion Holy Land to work for them, the inner disciples.

Before, when Yang Xuan became an inner disciple, he could also choose, but he did not choose at that time because he had just become an inner disciple. The selection of servants also depends on the wishes of those people. Basically, they are selected from the menial disciples, and they are not necessarily very good.

Besides, Yang Xuan didn't have such needs, so he didn't even consider hiring servants. After all, there was no point in hiring people who couldn't help him.

However, after he refined the tendon-strengthening pills, he had this idea in his mind. After all, after he refined the tendon-strengthening pills, he would need someone to help him deal with these chores.

However, he needs to wait until he is promoted to a formal alchemist before proceeding. By then, he will be able to select good people, and he will have more initiative in the selection!
Different people can choose servants and apprentices that vary greatly, and they have a certain degree of sovereignty over each other.

Just like after Yang Xuan became a formal alchemist, more people would take the initiative to become his servants and apprentices. After all, everyone wanted to follow someone with potential, not someone with no future.

After refining the tendon-strengthening pills and completing the whole process, Yang Xuan did not stop, but continued to refine the tendon-strengthening pills.

To improve the ability of alchemy and refine higher quality muscle-strengthening pills, it is naturally necessary to refine pills continuously. This is the most basic method.

While Yang Xuan continued to refine the tendon-strengthening pills, he put away his excitement and began to select spiritual materials. He made minor adjustments based on the problems he felt during the previous refining process, and then continued to refine the tendon-strengthening pills.

If you want to refine higher quality muscle-strengthening pills, you still have to make various attempts. Every change may not be good, but you can make progress in the process of change, and eventually the quality of the refined pills will improve.

Yang Xuan had just refined a Tendon Strengthening Pill that barely met the passing line, but if he wanted to use it for the alchemy test, it was not very stable and there was a high possibility of failure, so he needed to continue to improve the quality of the Tendon Strengthening Pill so that he could have more room for error.

Now he is also working hard for this, and there is no change in his mood because he has refined the muscle-strengthening pills of qualified quality, but he remains very calm.

"You have all been studying alchemy knowledge here for half a year, so today I will not give you a lecture, but let you show what you have learned during this period."

"Everyone follow the alchemy room near me and try to refine the body-tempering liquid to see how much you have learned during this period of time."

"This can be considered as a small test for you."

Master Zhao Dan looked at these new disciples and found that they had made certain gains after half a year of study.

At the same time, some people have been promoted to preparatory alchemists. These promoted people have proved that they have certain talents in alchemy, but Master Zhao Dan and others are not very clear about the specific situation of those who have not yet been promoted.

Therefore, this arrangement is also a test for these new disciples, to see how far they have come.

In the end, they will give scores based on the results of refining the Strengthening Tendon Pills, which will also affect the subsequent distribution of practice resources to Yang Xuan and others.

When Yang Xuan and others choose to take the path of alchemists, there will be a certain inclination towards cultivation resources, and these cultivation resources will be divided according to their performance in alchemy. The better the performance, the more cultivation resources they can obtain.

Yang Xuan was very clear about this because the cultivation resources he obtained were improved again after he was promoted to a reserve alchemist.

You should know that when he joined the Zifu Holy Land, his comprehensive rating was outstanding. He was one of the new disciples who could obtain the most cultivation resources, which also proved that he had great potential.

And after being promoted to a reserve alchemist, his level continued to increase, surpassing many people with outstanding ratings.

Of course, each inner gate mountain has its own separate evaluation method, and will provide additional cultivation resources on top of the original cultivation resources. Different evaluation methods will lead to different final distribution methods.

These are all additional training resources, and ultimately it depends on personal performance.

As for the Soul Gathering Divine Pill Peak, it all depends on one’s talent for alchemy.

When Yang Xuan is promoted to a formal alchemist, he will be able to obtain more cultivation resources. Once he is promoted to a core disciple, his resources will increase exponentially.

Therefore, if you want to live well in the Zifu Holy Land and obtain more resources for cultivation, you need to constantly demonstrate strong enough talent.

Yang Xuan was not surprised when he heard what Master Zhao Dan said, because the inner disciples of the Gathering Spirit Pill Peak had all come here in the same way before.

During this process, some people who are not suitable to become alchemists will be identified, so that they can face the reality and take the path that suits them.

The Soul Gathering Spirit Pill Peak will not take the initiative to make arrangements, but it is also giving these people a chance to recognize themselves. Of course, no matter what the final result will be, the Soul Gathering Spirit Pill Peak will not force it.

After all, cultivation is one's own, and others will not actively interfere, because there is no need. If you can't recognize yourself, you can't catch up with others, and eventually fall behind, and can't catch up anymore, and you can't even see the backs of others.

You will have to bear the consequences of forcing yourself.

The Juling Shendan Peak will only allocate relevant cultivation resources based on the potential demonstrated, and there will be certain reductions.

People without potential naturally do not deserve more resources.

The other new inner disciples all knew this, so some of them looked a little heavy. After all, not everyone has a talent for alchemy. Some people knew this, but were unwilling to give up and were still working hard for it.

After all, in the Juling Shendan Peak, becoming an alchemist is the best way out.

In particular, some people are not that talented in martial arts practice. They may be outstanding in their region, but they are not that outstanding in the Zifu Holy Land where geniuses gather.

The comprehensive rating at the time of entry is a good proof. By exchanging experiences in cultivation with others, one can also learn some information, especially those with outstanding ratings, whose cultivation progress far exceeds theirs.

Under such circumstances, those people naturally pin their hopes on becoming alchemists, so they are unwilling to give up. As for what the final result will be, they only need to look at the abilities they demonstrate to know.

"You don't have to be too nervous. This is just a small test. The final test will be in half a year."

"If you become a candidate alchemist within a year, you will receive training resources to continue training you to become an alchemist."

"This is not the final assessment, it's just to see your progress, so just show your current abilities."

"If you still can't refine a body-quenching liquid of acceptable quality, then continue to make changes based on your own problems, so as to refine a body-quenching liquid of acceptable quality."

Master Zhao Dan saw that many of the new disciples became nervous after hearing his words, and he spoke slowly.

Although he said so, these six months are actually a watershed. People with potential can basically be promoted to reserve alchemists within six months.

For those who have not yet been promoted, their potential has dropped by one level and they basically cannot go far on the path of becoming an alchemist.

Some things are not absolute, but most of the time they are like this. This is a good dividing line. As for what the final outcome will be, it still depends on the individual.

"Come on, follow me, choose the appropriate refining tools, and then start refining."

Master Zhao Dan led the way and took them to walk in the Rising Sun Pavilion.

The assessment is also conducted in the Xuri Pavilion, not in the Alchemy Hall.

After all, refining the body-quenching medicine only requires an iron pot and wood. It is not too complicated and does not require special fire, so there is no need to go to the alchemy hall at all.

Furthermore, the Xuri Pavilion teaches new disciples how to refine body-quenching liquids, muscle-strengthening pills, etc. Naturally, they need to prepare the tools and space for refining, which is a very basic part.

Only when Yang Xuan and other new disciples have reached a certain level of alchemy ability, will they need to go to the Alchemy Hall to refine pills. At that time, the ones who teach Yang Xuan and others will no longer be Master Zhao Dan, Master Xu Dan and others, but more experienced alchemists!

Master Zhao Dan led Yang Xuan and other new disciples to a huge hall. There were empty spaces inside, which were all spaces for refining body-quenching liquid. These were specially built and were more standardized than the space Yang Xuan used to refine in the yard.

Yang Xuan had only seen it during the alchemy test.

There is a place for refining muscle-strengthening pills, and various firewoods are placed there, as well as places to sit, etc. Basically, everything you need is there, and the space taken up is not very large.

At the same time, on a high platform not far away, there were various iron pots and alchemy furnaces, all made of ordinary materials, for the new disciples to choose from.

"You can choose the iron pot, alchemy furnace, firewood, etc. here. After you have made your choice, find a seat and sit down."

"I will arrange for someone to bring you the materials for refining the body-tempering liquid medicine later. It will be the same as the one at the Alchemist Examination Institute. Three sets of materials. The final result will depend on your refining."

"Of course, those who have successfully refined the qualified quality of the body-hardening liquid only need to refine it once to demonstrate their ability. There is no need to refine it three times."

Master Zhao Dan pointed at the iron pot, alchemy furnace, wood and empty space in the room and spoke to Yang Xuan and other new disciples.

His assessment this time was mainly aimed at those who had not yet been promoted to preparatory alchemists, to see their specific circumstances.

As for those who have passed the assessment of preparatory alchemists, they only need to refine qualified quality body-quenching medicine.

The quality of the body-quenching liquid can also be used to judge the progress of these prospective alchemists and to indirectly see their potential, which can be considered an indirect basis.

Of course, he also knew that after passing the preparatory alchemist assessment, most people would focus on refining tendon-strengthening pills and work hard to be promoted to formal alchemists.

However, even in the process of refining the tendon-strengthening pills, there will be gains based on the experience gained in refining, which will eventually feed back into the refining of the body-quenching liquid.

Furthermore, the Juling Shendan Peak will issue tasks with very high rewards to new disciples, and the task is to refine body-quenching medicine. As long as the sect does not have a lot of contribution points, basically no one will give up on this kind of task.

After all, this kind of task takes a short time and provides a lot of training resources, so there is naturally no reason to give up. The training resources obtained can also be used to refine the materials for strengthening the tendons pills, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Alas, I haven't yet succeeded in refining a body-hardening liquid of acceptable quality. I really can't pass this assessment!"

"I'm almost there too. I'm still some distance away from being able to refine a qualified quality body-quenching liquid. However, Master Zhao Dan said that this is just a small test. As long as we are promoted to a reserve alchemist within a year, we can still become an alchemist."

"Just listen to what I said. I heard from the old disciples that not many people who become preparatory alchemists in half a year can eventually become alchemists. Even if they can become alchemists, not many can go far. It's all about talent!"

"Don't take these things too seriously. As the old saying goes, hard work can make up for lack of talent. Just keep working hard!"

Those who have not yet been promoted to preparatory alchemists spoke up, and there was some worry in their tone.

Especially what the old disciples at the Juling Shendan Peak said, these people would naturally hear it, and what they said was very reasonable, so some people were in a state of uncertainty at this time and had already thought about joining the Dharma Protector lineage!
