The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 44: Passed the Assessment (Please Read!!)

"Why do I feel like a poor student is getting a high-level exam?"

Chen Jinshu suddenly felt a little frustrated.

Elder Shui Huanmeng, who was sitting right in front of the exam to supervise the exam, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw this.

"What an unlucky little guy. He actually got the hardest blind box. I don't know if he can pass the test!"

"In these years, there hasn't even been a disciple with slightly better qualifications!"

She sighed softly, shifted her attention away, and scanned the disciples taking the test in front of her with her spiritual sense, observing their performance.

Whether one can pass the assessment depends not only on the final elixir, but also on the evaluation of the refining process, the selection of spiritual medicines, etc. There are also requirements for the refined elixir, which must officially reach the lower quality.

Even with such basic requirements, most disciples would fail every assessment.

Chen Jinshu used his spiritual sense to scan the dozen or so unfamiliar spiritual herbs and placed them separately.

Then she began to screen the remaining eighty or so spiritual herbs one by one.

After a while, she put away the unripe ones, the damaged ones, and the ones with the wrong age.

In the end, there were only more than fifty spiritual herbs left.

"Half of the spiritual medicines have been eliminated just by screening. I don't know how many more furnaces can be refined." She sighed slightly, thinking that she must remember the spiritual medicines well after returning.

If this assessment examined the names and properties of spiritual medicines, she would definitely not pass.

After a while, she combined the materials for three pill recipes based on the known first-grade low-grade pill recipes, namely the Heart-Calming Pill, the Poison-Cleansing Pill, and the Foundation-Strengthening Pill.

Among them, the Heart-Calming Pill and the Poison-Cleansing Pill each have two chances to be refined, while the Body-Strengthening Pill only has one chance.

The rest of the spiritual medicines are used for assessment to confuse the vision.

This means that the blind box Chen Jinshu drew this time only has five refining chances.

"Five chances is quite a lot."

Although five chances were okay, Chen Jinshu was not very happy because she had never refined any of these three pill recipes.

She had not been out for more than a year at Lingjiu Mountain, and the most common things she refined were Lingyuan Pills, Huichun Pills, and Ningqi Pills.

After arriving at Xuanming Sect, he was unable to sell pills because he did not have a certificate from an alchemist, and he did not dare to spend more spirit stones to purchase the spiritual herbs needed to refine the pill recipes.

In order to avoid a vicious cycle, she had no choice but to hurry up and come here to test the alchemist.

"The Heart Calming Pill is the easiest to refine! The Poison Cleansing Pill is the second easiest. The Foundation Strengthening Pill requires the most spiritual herbs, so it's the most difficult."

She quickly analyzed the pros and cons of the three recipes and planned to choose one to start refining.

In the end, she chose the safer Zhenxin Pill, which is a pill that can help one quickly enter a state of meditation. It has the effect of calming the mind and can also provide a slight amount of spiritual power for cultivation, but the effect is not as good as the Lingyuan Pill.

After making up her mind, she prepared the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Heart-Calming Pill and began to build fire in the furnace.

She had done this step countless times and was now very familiar with it.

After a while, the temperature of the alchemy furnace reached the refining requirements, and she immediately controlled the elixir and threw it towards the alchemy furnace.

Because it was not her own alchemy furnace, she was very careful in this step and kept an eye on the temperature with her spiritual sense at all times.

As all six spiritual herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace, she began to practice hand gestures to refine them.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Jinshu had reached the step of removing impurities from the medicine.

Under her control of hand gestures, a large amount of black impurities began to escape from the green liquid in the alchemy furnace.

A loud bang came from the ground, almost causing her to lose control.

Fortunately, she was paying attention.

She glanced at the source of the sound and saw a cloud of thick black smoke coming out of the furnace.

Fortunately, there are restrictions in place due to the formation, otherwise, I'm afraid that a disciple would have escaped and affected the assessment. "The impact of the furnace explosion can't be completely avoided! So this is what Senior Brother meant by the impact during the alchemy process."

Chen Jinshu quickly realized something, his expression suddenly became serious, and his brows and eyes became more solemn.

Although the defensive isolation formation set up by the alchemy furnace can block many influences from the outside, the sound comes from underground, which is difficult to avoid.

Many disciples taking the test were refining pills on the same ground, so it was inevitable that they would be affected.

If this isolation formation had not been activated, the impact on the alchemy process might have been even greater.

"It has to be refined quickly."

She quickened the control of her hand gestures again.

"Boom!" Another vibration caused by the exploding furnace reached her location.

However, she had already floated her entire body, so the vibration waves from the ground could no longer affect her.

However, her spiritual consciousness will also be consumed very quickly.

"Your ability to respond is pretty good! But you're a little too impatient." Shui Huanmeng noticed Chen Jinshu's actions and agreed with them a little, but when she saw that he suddenly sped up his movements, she sighed in regret.

The impact of the furnace explosion is actually part of the alchemist assessment, which mainly tests the alchemist's ability to respond.

How to avoid affecting the production of elixirs that meet the requirements is something an alchemist needs to learn.

In a blink of an eye, another half hour passed. Chen Jinshu's spiritual consciousness was exhausted, but fortunately, the pill she refined was only of the first-grade low quality, so she could still hold on.

"Concentrate!" She quickly circulated the green wood spiritual power in her dantian, and transformed it into a green lotus in front of her. Then the green spiritual energy turned into a special seal and locked onto the alchemy furnace.

"Buzz!" As the medicinal liquid in the furnace rapidly spun and condensed, a medicinal wind could be heard from the furnace.

After a moment, a green light flashed slightly in the furnace, and four pills appeared in the center of the furnace.

A minty, cool medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"Success!" Chen Jinshu felt relieved when he saw this.

This blind box alchemy test is really difficult. One step is connected to another. Once one of the steps goes wrong, there is basically no need to think about the rest. You will definitely fail.

"Fortunately, over the past year or so, my alchemy skills have become more solid!" She was secretly delighted.

He controlled his body to slowly descend, threw a few seals to lock the medicinal power at the elixir in the furnace, and began to meditate and wait.

After a moment, Chen Jinshu took out the prepared pill bottle.

As he raised his hand, the elixir in the furnace flew quickly towards the elixir bottle.

"One top grade, two mid-grade, and one low grade! Not bad."

If one of the inferior calming pills had not been refined too quickly and less impurities had not been removed, it might have been able to reach the medium level.

After she extinguished the charcoal fire at the bottom of the furnace, she put away the blind box of elixirs beside her and removed the formation.

She saw that the assessment elder Shui Huanmeng had been waiting for a long time and was looking at her with a smile on his face.

"The refining technique is not bad! It's just that the process is a little hasty. This problem must be corrected. Otherwise, the quality of the finished pills will not be improved." She commented lightly.

She was not surprised that Chen Jinshu passed the test, but she found it difficult to predict what grade the pill would be.

"Thank you, Elder! For your advice!" Chen Jinshu bowed and presented the bottle of pills for him to check.

"Four pills were made, and a top-grade pill was refined. It's really rare." Shui Huanmeng's eyes lit up unexpectedly.

I didn't expect that Chen Jinshu could refine top-grade pills with such fast skills. This shows that he must have practiced a lot and is extremely familiar with the steps.

"My disciple was just lucky!"

"This is your pass number, take it!"

Chen Jinshu took the test number plate handed to him by Shui Huanmeng, and saw that it was marked with "A-grade! Passed!"
