Then, a silver-haired old man wearing a golden-threaded alchemist's robe strode over.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Ye, this … this is …"
Gu Qingfeng finally remembered that he had not asked Ziyue for his name.
"Ziyue!"
Ziyue introduced himself.
"Senior Brother Bai seems to be a second-grade alchemist and is about to take the test."
Gu Qingfeng hurriedly explained respectfully.
"Oh?"
Ye Kaiyang's eyes lit up and his gaze fell on Ziyue. He said, "A second-grade alchemist must be able to refine a second-grade spirit pill.
I happen to have some time now. I wonder if you can show me a thing or two? "
"Of course."
Ziyue nodded.
Then, the group of people directly entered a secret alchemy room.
"This is the Earth Fire Alchemy Room of our Alchemy Pavilion.
We have already prepared the materials for the three sets of Green Jade Pill. You can refine them yourself here.
Also, because this is a test, Alchemist Gu and I will be watching from the side. I hope you can understand. "
Ye Kaiyang introduced.
"Okay."
Ziyue did not say much and looked at the center of the alchemy room.
Waves of violent flames rose up and down. Even with the isolation of the array, the terrifying pressure of the flames and the heat that seemed to be able to burn everything in the world to ashes were terrifying.
If the Earth Fire was completely unleashed, its power would be much stronger than the Earth Fire Technique that he had mastered.
Perhaps only the full power of the Ice Flame Technique could be comparable to the Earth Fire.
There was also an alchemy furnace in the alchemy room. It was three feet tall and was a high-level Dharma artifact with 72 restrictions.
Because it was a public Dharma artifact, it did not need to be specially refined to be used.
Ziyue was not picky. He stretched out his hand and patted the alchemy furnace, dragging it directly above the Earth Fire.
He opened the array according to the method.
Boom!
In an instant, a scorching heat surged out from the depths of the ground. The alchemy furnace trembled slightly as if it could not withstand the heat.
"This Earth Fire is indeed extraordinary."
Ziyue was not surprised. With a slight touch, a spiritual light flashed above the alchemy furnace, displaying the effect of suppressing the flames.
When the alchemy furnace was slightly red and the temperature had reached an astonishing level, Ziyue calmly threw a material for the Green Jade Pill into the alchemy furnace.
The moment the materials fell, the Pill Incantation descended.
"What a skilled technique.
It's impossible to do something like this without refining it thousands of times. "
Ye Kaiyang's eyes flashed as he exclaimed in a low voice.
"I'm ashamed of my inferiority. Compared to him, when I dealt with it, it was much cruder.
This Senior Brother Bai really has the strength of a Second Grade Alchemist. "
Gu Qingfeng's expression was serious as he said in admiration.
"Alchemist Gu, you don't have to belittle yourself. I heard that you've been trying to concoct second-tier pills recently. It won't be long before you become a second-tier alchemist."
Ye Kaiyang said with a smile.
"Just by watching Senior Brother Bai concoct, I know that I'm still far from being a second-tier alchemist.
Moreover, it's not that easy to become a second-tier alchemist.
Previously, I prepared more than 50 sets of materials for the Green Jade Pill, but all of them failed. This time, I want to be more prepared, so I prepared 100 sets of materials. I plan to start cultivating in seclusion next month.
I've already spent nearly 5,000 Karma points.
If I don't succeed, I'll have to wait for a year or two to accumulate Karma points again. "
Gu Qingfeng sighed.
While they were talking, Ziyue's refining had reached the most critical moment.
Ziyue casually threw the last two materials into the alchemy furnace at the same time. At the same time, he used his Pill Incantation to fuse the two materials together. Then, he fused them with the other materials in the alchemy furnace.
This step tested the alchemist's control of the temperature of the materials and his grasp of the timing of the Pill Incantation.
Ye Kaiyang and Gu Qingfeng stopped talking at this time. Their eyes were wide open, and they did not miss a single detail.
"The pills are done!"
"Buzz!"
The alchemy furnace trembled slightly and emitted a faint light. The materials in the alchemy furnace quickly fused and formed a light green Spiritual Pill that was as smooth as jade.
At this time, Ziyue did not stop. He used another Pill Incantation.
"Buzz!"
Under the influence of the Pill Incantation, the Spiritual Pill immediately spun at an extremely fast speed.
As the Spiritual Pill spun, wisps of impurities, Pill Poison Qi, and even the Fire Poison Qi that leaked out from the Earth Fire were thrown out and turned into extremely faint green smoke.
"Pill Flinging Technique, this is the Pill Flinging Technique …"
Gu Qingfeng was stunned. His eyes widened and he almost lost his voice.
"That's right, this is a high-level technique to improve the quality of the Spiritual Pill after the pill is formed.
I didn't expect Fellow Cultivator Bai to have mastered such a technique at such a young age.
It seems that he is not only a second-tier low-tier alchemist, but also a second-tier mid-tier alchemist, or even a second-tier high-tier alchemist. "
Ye Kaiyang's breathing quickened. He was extremely shocked.
"Collect!"
As soon as he used the Pill Collecting Technique, the Green Jade Pill turned into a stream of light and flew directly into Ziyue's hand.
"His technique is skillful and experienced, especially the Pill Flinging Technique at the end. It was really like the finishing touch, a stroke of genius.
Fellow Cultivator Bai's alchemy skills are far beyond the level of a second-tier low-tier alchemist, right? "
At this time, Ye Kaiyang also stepped forward and said with a look of amazement.
Gu Qingfeng also had a look of shock on his face.
He originally thought that he was not too far away from Ziyue, but now, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
He could not help but mutter in his heart, "Is he really a second-tier mid-tier alchemist?"
Ziyue smiled slightly and handed over the Green Jade Pill in his hand.
"There are only 3% impurities. This is a second-tier high-tier spirit pill."
Ye Kaiyang's eyes fell on the spirit pill and he said with certainty. Then he looked at Ziyue and explained, "A second-tier low-tier alchemist is a second-tier low-tier alchemist. A second-tier mid-tier alchemist is a second-tier mid-tier alchemist. A second-tier high-tier alchemist is a second-tier high-tier alchemist.
Fellow Cultivator Bai's Green Jade Pill is second-tier high-tier, so he is a second-tier high-tier alchemist. "
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng was shocked.
Second-tier high-tier alchemist?
Although he had tried to overestimate Senior Brother Bai's alchemy skills, he never expected him to be so powerful.
In the entire Alchemy Pavilion of Chaoyang Sect, there were only 13 second-tier alchemists, not to mention first-tier alchemists. Among them, there were only two who were second-tier high-tier alchemists. One was the Deputy Pavilion Master, Ye Kaiyang, and the other was Elder Zhou, who never cared about worldly affairs and only focused on alchemy.
As for the Pavilion Master, Elder Qian, who was the only third-tier alchemist in the entire Chaoyang Sect, he was not included in this list.
"Thank you for your recognition, Pavilion Master Ye."
Ziyue said with a smile.
"This is your strength.
I just did not expect Fellow Cultivator Bai's alchemy skills to be so brilliant.
Why did you only report to the Alchemy Pavilion now?
If we had known that there was such a skilled alchemist, our Chaoyang Sect would not have been defeated by Jiuhua Immortal Palace in the Alchemy Conference three months ago. "
Ye Kaiyang said with a little regret.
"I am a Rogue Cultivator and have just joined the Chaoyang Sect less than a month ago."
Ziyue explained.
Of course, even if he had joined the Chaoyang Sect earlier, he did not have his current alchemy skills three months ago. He did not even know the pharmacology of alchemy, let alone participate in the Alchemy Conference.
Who would have thought that he would have such a heaven-defying item like the Attribute Panel?
"Oh?"
Ye Kaiyang was even more surprised when he heard this.
He wanted to find out more about Ziyue's alchemy heritage and find out what kind of person he was to be able to teach such a talented alchemist who had become a second-tier high-tier alchemist at such a young age.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea.
This kind of thing was still a taboo in the cultivation world, especially since Ziyue was a Rogue Cultivator who had joined the Chaoyang Sect. There might be some entanglements between them.
Ye Kaiyang felt that it was better not to investigate in vain.
However, he said, "Since Fellow Cultivator Bai is also a second-tier high-tier alchemist, why don't you also take the position of an elder in the Alchemy Pavilion?
Actually, this position is quite easy. Every year, you only need to refine two hundred second-tier elixirs for the Alchemy Pavilion. The materials are all provided by the Alchemy Pavilion, so you don't have to do anything.
Every year, you can also receive three thousand karma points. If you guide other alchemists to break through their ranks, you will also receive additional rewards.
In addition, if you encounter any major incidents and need to take on alchemy tasks, you will also have to accept the conscription.
Of course, there are usually generous karma points as rewards, so it is not a loss.
We alchemists can only improve through continuous alchemy. "
"Sure."
Ziyue naturally did not know that many complicated thoughts flashed through Ye Kaiyang's mind. After thinking for a while, he agreed to it.
Only with effort would there be gains.
Compared to the gains, his effort was very little.
Two hundred second-tier elixirs a year was nothing.
As for the conscription, it usually only happened when the Chaoyang Sect was at war with other immortal sects or other forces. Now that everything was calm, he naturally did not consider it.
"Also, I would like to ask, if I want to collect materials for alchemy, can I borrow the power of the Alchemy Pavilion?"
Ziyue immediately asked.
This was also the main reason why he showed his alchemy skills and joined the Alchemy Pavilion.
There were a total of forty-nine types of materials needed to refine the Aperture Enlightening Elixir. There were about thirty-seven types of common materials, but there were still twelve types that were relatively rare.
Among the twelve types of rare materials, three of them were extremely precious. If one did not have a strong foundation, one would not be able to obtain them at all.
If he were to rely on himself to collect them, it would probably take a long time for him to collect all of them.
However, if he borrowed the Alchemy Pavilion, it would be completely different.
