[Read the latest chapter] The two of them walked along the wide cave passage for half an hour. In front of them, there were also criss-crossing cave passages. There were still stone chambers on both sides of the cave passage. The layout here was no different from the original refining chamber. I guess it was from the same place. human hand
Walking along a cave passage deep into the cave, he stopped in a hall.
I saw more than 20 monks sitting cross-legged in the hall here, but there were seven Chengdan monks sitting on the wooden chairs in the surroundings.
The old man entered the hall without hesitation, but went directly to the seven Chengdan old men, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Reporting to all deacons and Taoist fellow Taoist Qin Fengming, you are here to participate in the skill competition in my alchemy hall. Now I have brought you here."
As the old man spoke, the seven Chengdan old men who closed their eyes simultaneously opened their eyes. One of them even looked up with a bit of joy on his face and looked towards where Qin Fengming was standing.
As soon as Qin Fengming entered this hall, he saw these seven Chengdan old men. These seven people were also the several Chengdan monks who had appeared during the bone age test.
Seeing that the old man had already introduced himself, Qin Fengming also walked a few steps quickly to come to the seven people, bowed respectfully, then stood respectfully beside the old man and said in a very polite manner:
"Junior Qin Fengming delayed the alchemy skills competition due to other matters. I hope the seniors will give this junior a chance."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I will arrange for my little brother to test each item one by one. Please bring the jade plaque and conduct the flame control test first."
When the old man Cheng Dan in front of him finished speaking, Qin Fengming had already handed over the jade token in his hand.
The old man took the jade tablet and moved his spiritual power. His face suddenly changed slightly and he asked with surprise: "What little brother has already participated in the competition in the Weapon Refining Hall?"
Everyone else was shocked when they heard what the old man said. Although they did not participate in the skill competition in the weapon refining hall when they entered, they also knew that a master who had been refining weapons for hundreds of years would have to at least complete the weapon refining competition. Thirteen or fourteen days
But the seemingly extremely young monk in front of him actually completed the competition in less than ten days. This really surprised everyone present.
"Returning to seniors and juniors, I have already completed the weapon refining hall competition the day before yesterday, so I came to your place to take part in the alchemy competition to see if I can pass it. Please ask seniors to do it."
Looking at the calm little Foundation-Building monk in front of them, the more than 20 monks on the field were all shocked. One of the monks has participated in the weapon refining skills competition and now he is here to participate in the alchemy competition. This has been in Manghuang Mountain for tens of thousands of years. Among them, there were only two or three times.
"Good little brother Qin, since you want to take part in the alchemy skill competition again, you can control the flame, but you don't need to test it again. Now that you have completed the weapon refining competition, I think there is no problem with the flame control. Now please follow me directly to the alchemy room. That’s it”
The old man who said this, Qin Fengming, immediately said something and then said in a deep voice. At this time, he was also very doubtful in his heart. Could it be that the monk in front of him, who was only fifty or sixty years old, could have attainments in both skills?
He waved his hand to assign the foundation-building old man who had brought Qin Fengming here to leave, and then led Qin Fengming straight towards the Alchemy Room No. 1.
When you enter the alchemy room, the layout is almost the same as that of the weapon refining room.
"There are eleven kinds of spiritual herbs here. The second test is to test your eyesight. As long as you can identify eight kinds of spiritual herbs in front of you, you will be considered qualified. Little brother, please step forward and identify them."
Following the gesture of the old man Cheng Dan, Qin Fengming saw eleven spiritual grasses in full bloom in jade boxes placed next to the fire-bringing beast, so he hurried forward without answering and walked to the jade boxes to pick them up one by one. start to identify
Judging from the medicinal fragrance and the state of these spiritual herbs, they are all hundreds of years old. However, they are the materials for refining elixirs for foundation-building monks to improve their cultivation.
With little effort, Qin Fengming had already completely identified the eleven spiritual grasses on the ground.
"Reporting to senior, these spiritual herbs are: passion fruit, green lotus grass, chrysanthemum branch, cattail grass..." Qin Fengming pointed at the eleven spiritual herbs on the ground and called out their names one by one without stopping.
Seeing the young monk in front of him telling the rare spiritual herbs that rarely appeared in the market so quickly, the old man Cheng Dan next to him also showed a hint of surprise. It turned out that this young man was not just someone who came here to try his luck. He did have some confidence.
"Yes, it's true what little brother said. Okay, I've passed the second level. Now, when refining the elixir, this is the recipe. There are various herbs in the elixir. These herbs are enough for three refinings, Wang Xiao. Brother can complete the refining within twenty days."
The old man Cheng Dan handed a jade slip and jade tablet to Qin Fengming's hand with a wave of his hand, then turned around and left the alchemy room without stopping any longer.
After the old man left the alchemy room, Qin Fengming held the jade sign to open the ban on the alchemy room, and then carefully looked at the jade slip in his hand.
This jade slip contains a refined elixir recipe called 'Yihe Dan', which introduces the proportions of various spiritual herbs in great detail.
Qin Fengming had seen the name of Yihe Dan in the classics before, but the specific formula had never been seen. Although this prescription was of no use to him at this time, it still made him feel happy.
Qin Fengming sat in the alchemy room for two hours and carefully studied the elixir recipe several times to ensure that there was no flaw before he started refining and purifying the spiritual grass.
Although Qin Fengming did not refine elixirs personally many times, his study of the classics and experience were unparalleled. His pure flame control allowed him to refine and purify all kinds of spiritual herbs without any mistakes.
Looking at the more than 30 jade vases placed in front of him, Qin Fengming felt nothing in his heart.
After a short rest, he officially started refining Yihe Dan.
According to what Danfang said, he will put the refined eleven kinds of spiritual grass essences into the alchemy furnace one by one in their respective order and time, and then drive the fire in the center of the earth to fuse and calcine the essences of these spiritual grasses.
As time slowly passed, the pure medicinal fragrance gradually floated out from the alchemy furnace, and the entire alchemy room was enveloped by a refreshing aroma.
Just when Qin Fengming was happy and thought that the refining could be completed without any difficulty, a dull "crackling" sound suddenly came from the alchemy furnace.
Qin Fengming, who was controlling the flames to calcine the alchemy furnace, was shocked when he heard this sound. This sound was undoubtedly the sound made when the elixir was about to be scrapped.
"Bang~~"
Just when Qin Fengming was shocked, there was a dull banging sound in the alchemy furnace. The furnace lid suddenly flew up and fell a few feet away.
