Chapter 51 - Causing Quite a Commotion
n
n
n
nThe sharp-eyed disciple’s voice was sharp and penetrating.
n
nIt made many people around him look up at the stone tower.
n
nThey looked at Shen Ran’s name at the end of the list and the timestamp.
n
nMany people’s expressions changed drastically and they exclaimed.
n
n“This… Who is this Shen Ran?”
n
n“How can he pass the first three levels so quickly!”
n
n“It’s much faster than Senior Sister Zhao’s assessments back then!”
n
n“Did anyone see which senior brother took the assessments just now?”
n
n…
n
nThere was an immediate uproar.
n
nThe place was abuzz with their animated discussion.
n
nThe stone tower had stood in the Empyrean Sword Sect for thousands of years.
n
nAnyone who could leave his name in the tower was talented in alchemy!
n
nAfter so many years, it was extremely difficult for ordinary Empyrean Sect disciples to leave their names in the tower!
n
nThis was because other than the assessments, they were also challenging the seniors who had left their names in the tower!
n
nOnly by surpassing these seniors could they do that!
n
nSo, in the past, even an Empyrean Sect disciple entering the top 1,000 would cause a commotion among the disciples!
n
nThe quick rise of Shen Ran caused a sensation among the disciples.
n
nYet…
n
nIt was just a sensation.
n
nHe had some talent.
n
nHowever, he could not compare to Zhao Honglian of the Sixth Summit.
n
nThe disciples standing around the Myriad Medicine Pavilion were all here for Zhao Honglian!
n
n“Although this Shen Ran fellow has some talent in alchemy, it’s a pity that there is Senior Sister Zhao. He can only be considered unlucky.”
n
nSenior Sister Zhao has the Ten Thousand Wood Body, a physique that is naturally most suitable for alchemy. Her knowledge towards the attributes of plants is much higher than ordinary people!
n
n…
n
nShen Ran, who had entered the third level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, naturally did not know about the commotion outside.
n
nAfter he entered the third level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, the surroundings changed again.
n
nAn elixir furnace and hundreds of spiritual herbs that were effective for the Divine Sea Realm appeared in front of him.
n
nOf course, these spiritual herbs were not real.
n
nIt was just a projection of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
n
n“Please refine 10 high-grade Tier 2 elixirs in half a day.
n
nIf you pass the assessment, you can enter the next level!”
n
nAt the prompt of this cold voice, Shen Ran frowned slightly.
n
nA Tier 2 elixir was effective for Divine Sea Realm cultivators.
n
nThis was because there were subtle differences when alchemists refined elixirs.
n
nThe elixirs were divided into four types: basic, medium, high, and supreme.
n
nBasic-grade elixirs meant that the alchemist was not very proficient in refining elixirs. The success rate was not high, and the elixirs contained a large amount of toxicity.
n
nMedium-grade elixirs had a 30 percent chance of being of good quality and contained a small amount of toxicity.
n
nHigh-grade elixirs had very little toxicity in them. They were a test of an alchemist’s elixir refinement technique and familiarity with the materials.
n
n10 high-grade pills. The higher I go, the harder it becomes, Shen Ran thought to himself.
n
nThen he quickly started working.
n
nBoundless spiritual energy turned into flames that danced around the elixir furnace.
n
nHe focused on the spiritual herbs that were churning in the furnace.
n
nSoon, under the high temperature, they turned into balls of pure spiritual liquid.
n
nAfter doing this, Shen Ran was not in a hurry to refine elixirs.
n
nHe waved his hand and took out hundreds of boxes made of white jade from his storage bag.
n
nThese jade boxes could prevent the loss of spiritual energy.
n
nAfter storing the spiritual liquid inside them, Shen Ran waved his hand and refined another spiritual herb into spiritual liquid using the same method.
n
nTwo hours later.
n
nShen Ran’s forehead was covered in sweat.
n
nRefining elixirs over a long time was a job that consumed spiritual power.
n
nFurthermore, it was also extremely harsh on his divine sense.
n
nDivine sense was needed to constantly pay attention to the changes in the spiritual liquid in the elixir furnace.
n
nIf the temperature was slightly higher, the spiritual liquid might be burned!
n
nAfter refining more than a hundred spiritual herbs, Shen Ran rested for a moment and poured the spiritual liquid he had prepared into the elixir furnace.
n
nThe Tier 2 Green Jade Pill is effective for the Divine Sea Realm. The spiritual herbs needed are the Nine Mother Earth Spirit Flower and the Jade Spirit Marrow…
n
nThe Green Jade Pill was the pill that Luo Qifeng had given Shen Ran so that he could represent the Eighth Summit and win in the next sect tournament.
n
nThis kind of pill could allow a Divine Sea Realm cultivator to break through a small realm.
n
nAlthough it was not very valued in the Empyrean Sword Sect, it was challenging to alchemists just because there were dozens of spiritual herbs needed to refine the Green Jade Pill!
n
nShen Ran put various spiritual liquids continuously into the elixir furnace.
n
nSoon, the spiritual fire caused the spiritual liquids in the medicinal cauldron to boil.
n
nFinally, the unbearable heat turned them into dark paste.
n
nWhen he poured the last box of spiritual liquid into the paste, Shen Ran heaved a long sigh of relief and slowly moved his palms away from the fire.
n
nAs he retracted his palms, the flames in the elixir furnace gradually extinguished.
n
nWith his divine sense, he looked at the spiritual liquid paste that had transformed into jade-green spiritual pills in the furnace!
n
nIt emitted an extremely rich medicinal power!
n
nWhen he opened the furnace, nine jade-green pills that emitted a green light appeared.
n
nThere were six golden threads on each pill.
n
nThey were proof of the quality of high-grade spirit pills.
n
nThis meant that Shen Ran had succeeded in refining a Tier 2 elixir!
n
nIt could be said that he was already a second-level alchemist.
