Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

After explaining the key points of the "Essence of Elixir," Meng Yangyu waved his hand.

A young disciple carrying a jade plate walked out from the side door.

Dozens of black pills were placed on the jade plate.

Its surface is plain and dull, and you can only smell a very faint, sweet-smelling fishy odor when you get close.

The people inside the hall did not know what he meant.

They all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is this?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Meng Yangyu said with a faint smile, "This is a test I have prepared for you all. These pills are all ungraded and worthless. Take these worthless pills back and nurture them anew using the 'Pill Nurturing Technique'."

"Six months from now, I will assess your abilities based on the degree to which the elixirs have been nurtured."

"The evaluation results will also be included in the chief investigator's assessment."

A buzzing discussion immediately filled the hall.

Some people looked troubled, as reviving a ruined pill is much more difficult than refining a whole batch of pills from scratch.

Some people are also eager to try.

For example, Song Qingchen and Zhong Qiyu both consider the chief position to be theirs for the taking, and they will certainly not miss such an opportunity.

The alchemist next to Meng Yangyu then distributed the discarded pills to everyone.

Jiang Chuan accepted the pills handed to him by the boy.

It feels slightly cool to the touch.

His expression suddenly shifted slightly, his gaze falling on the pill, and his divine sense silently enveloped it.

half an hour.

Jiang Chuan withdrew his divine sense with some suspicion.

He detected nothing unusual.

But that moment just now was definitely not his imagination.

He actually detected a faint life force within this pill!

Jiang Chuan glanced to his side out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, Song Qingchen and Zhong Qiyu both stared at the pill with strange expressions, clearly sensing that something was wrong.

However, neither of them exposed it on the spot.

Jiang Chuan then looked at Meng Yangyu, whose thin face held an inscrutable smile.

He understood immediately.

test,

It started the moment the pills were distributed.

Meng Yangyu wanted to examine more than just their level of understanding of the "Essence of Elixir".

And good eyesight.

Let's see if they can discover the anomaly in this discarded pill!

Only by passing this test can they prove that they are qualified to remain in this alchemy room.

If it doesn't pass...

We'll have to see what tricks are hidden in this elixir!

Meng Yangyu glanced indifferently across the room and said calmly, "Since that's the case, then everyone may leave."

The group filed out.

The sunlight outside the hall was blinding.

A few servants were sweeping and cleaning in twos and threes on Baiyu Square.

Zhong Qiyu walked to the stone steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back to give Song Qingchen a cold glare.

"This time, I'm determined to beat you!"

"..."

Song Qingchen gave her a speechless look, his reaction exactly the same as Jiang Chuan's back then, clearly feeling that Zhong Qiyu's mind was not quite right.

Jiang Chuan shook his head slightly. He had no interest in vying for the chief position, and had no intention of scheming against the two of them.

He strode quickly toward his alchemy room.

Push the door open and enter.

Amu was squatting at the warehouse door counting the newly arrived spiritual materials when he noticed Jiang Chuan's strange expression. He quickly put down the ledger in his hand and came to greet him.

"Master Lie, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chuan waved his hand and said, "Guard the door well. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

Amu's expression hardened, and he quickly agreed.

Jiang Chuan walked into the second floor.

The room's walls were inlaid with isolation arrays, which he activated one by one before taking out the jet-black pill.

Unsurprisingly.

Upon closer inspection, this elixir was indeed quite strange.

The dense, black outer shell structure subtly resembled a cocoon.

Jiang Chuan circulated his true essence and carefully peeled away the outer shell of the pill layer by layer.

soon.

The contents of the package were revealed before his eyes.

It was a tiny insect egg, about the size of a grain of rice, translucent amber in color, with the outline of a thin, hair-like larva curled up inside.

Jiang Chuan stared at the insect egg for a moment, and relevant pharmacological information automatically appeared in his mind.

Three Corpse Brain God Worm.

Top grade spiritual material!

The adult insects can be refined into the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, which is used to assist in the cultivation of certain divine soul secret techniques and is worth thousands of contribution points in the market.

This spiritual material is extremely difficult to collect and carries a high degree of danger.

Once the eggs of the Three-Corpse Brain Worm come into contact with living flesh and blood...

It will then penetrate the host's meridians within a few breaths.

It penetrates directly into the brain.

It devours the host's soul.

Within three days, the larvae will hatch, and the adult worms will nest in the host's brain.

At that time, the host's soul will be completely devoured, and the physical body will become a walking corpse, a puppet controlled by the adult insect!

One corpse, one worm.

Their lives are intertwined.

When the insect dies, the person dies; when the person dies, the insect also dies.

Jiang Chuan broke out in a cold sweat, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"That old dog, what ruthless methods he uses!"

Meng Yangyu gave them this pill.

Call it a test or whatever.

In reality.

It continues the inhuman behavior of the Immortal Alliance cultivators!

If they can detect the problem.

That's fine.

But what if someone actually puts these pills into their body?

Using the "Essence of Elixir" for tempering is equivalent to personally providing the most suitable conditions for the insect eggs to hatch.

Using true essence as a breeding ground.

Within a few days.

Larvae hatch.

Even a celestial being couldn't save them then!

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment with a gloomy expression, but ultimately gave up the idea of ​​exposing the matter.

Firstly.

Meng Yangyu has made it clear that this is a test.

The fact that they couldn't see the problem with the pills only shows that their cultivation was inadequate, and they deserved to be scammed in a place like the Immortal Alliance.

Furthermore, he hadn't yet learned the old dog's most important alchemy technique.

It would be too much of a loss to break ties now.

"I'll endure it."

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, mentally cursing Meng Yangyu's ancestors for eighteen generations, then decisively suppressed his anger and focused his attention back on the pills.

It's one thing to avoid a complete falling out, but it's absolutely impossible for him to obediently act as an incubator for insect eggs.

He immediately peeled the entire insect egg out and sealed it in a jade bottle.

These insect eggs are a high-grade spiritual material, worth thousands of contribution points, so it can be considered an unexpected windfall.

He then collected the layers of medicinal mud that had been peeled away.

Restart the furnace.

It was re-tempered by the earth's fire for about half an hour.

A moment later, a jet-black pill was produced again, looking exactly the same as the original.

The only difference.

The hidden danger of the Three Corpse Brain Worm parasitizing has been eliminated.

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction before taking the pill into his body and activating the "Essence Nourishing Technique." A warm stream of true essence enveloped the pill, and it began to slowly nourish it.

The pill trembled slightly under the nourishment of true essence, and the black impurities on the outer layer actually began to fade away bit by bit, revealing a very faint trace of pill patterns.

It has to be said that although Meng Yangyu, that old dog, did inhuman things, this "Cultivating Elixir Technique" is indeed a good thing.

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes and rested for a while. When he opened his eyes, it was already dark outside the window.

He sensed the changes in the pills within his body; the progress was much faster than he had expected.

He was a genuine Qi Refining Realm cultivator, and his cultivation efficiency was far superior to that of alchemists in the Qi Absorption Realm.

At this pace...

At most a month.

He can nurture this useless pill to the point where it can pass muster.
