Chapters 22. Pill Concocting Practice Exam.


Elders Tsai Yelu and Dong Jian joined the bell to see Xiang Tianzhi had failed in the early stages, because before heating the furnace, the furnace, the, the initial stage of an Alchemist will sort the plants first to choose the best part, according to what type of pill will be made.


In the second stage, after choosing the best part of the plant, an alchemist will grind or mash the plant until smooth, only the third stage begins to heat the furnace, up to the hot temperature inside the furnace between 100 - 250 degrees Celsius.


In the fourth stage, after the furnace is heated, the alchemist immediately enters the collision of plants, burning them out of place until the residue that is still attached is completely gone.


In the fifth stage, the alchemist tried carefully to obtain the essence liquid from the plant as much as possible, and if successfully characterized by the characteristic fragrant aroma of the smell, the fifth stage was spelled successful


In the sixth stage, the alchemist attempted to burn the plant essence liquid to thicken, and after it started to thicken, the alchemist had to quickly condense until it started to form a pill in a still random form.


In the seventh stage, the most important stage, where the alchemist had to use his spiritual energy to condense the pill in a round shape and increase the fire gradually. Fire control in stage seven is very important, it should not be too hot too low, in other words the alchemist must be completely observant to see any changes in the pill, and if it has been formed roundly, in other words, the alchemist must be completely observant to see any changes in the pill, the alchemist had to increase his fire in order for the pill to get denser and be declared so.


In the eighth stage was testing the quality of the pill, here the alchemist ability could be seen from the results of his creation.


All the participants smiled cynically, and they were happy to see the genius of the perfect value theory had been considered a failure. In their minds, 'basic stages alone don't know, how can concoct pills, at most the result being trash'. Seeing the participants who were considered the toughest rivals had failed, all participants refocused and performed according to the rules.


For the Shura Race, fire was a trivial matter and there was no need to possess a Heavenly Flame to help the work of an Alchemist or a blacksmith, since the Asyura Race from birth must have had an Asyura Flame, either, although the lowest quality in addition to the dominant elements such as soil elements. In other words, the Asyura Race from birth had two elements.


However, if there was a Heavenly Flame, the Asyura Race would not waste it, they would definitely fight each other to obtain it, as the Heavenly Flame was able to increase the Asyura Fire element.


The fire that Xiang Tianzhi used was an ordinary bluish-red flame, he deliberately limped so as not to cause chaos if he had Black and White Flame, which was a fusion of two bloodlines.


After it was hot enough, Xiang Tianzhi waved his hand at all the plants on the table, in order to enter the furnace. The actions of Xiang Tianzhi once again made Elder Tsai Yelu and Elder Dong Jian shake.


"The body can explode!" grumbling Elder Tsai Yelu who had already considered Xiang Tianzhi a complete failure.


Then, Elder Dong Jian ordered the supervisory committee to set up a protective formation for the other participants, so that when the furnace exploded it would not harm them. Xiang Tianzhi who saw their reaction only smiled and went back to what he was working on.


"Perhaps, quite a low level Grand Master stage with poor plant quality!" xiang Tianzhi's estimation.


Yes, intentionally the Heaven Pill Pavilion provided Spirit plants and medicinal plants with low quality, as this was only a test to obtain a Beginner level alchemist badge, and that was already the rule. If someone who wanted to raise the status of the badge became a Disciple, then he would have to take the exam again and go straight to the practice exam.


The two elders furrowed their brows as the furnace of Tian Zhi participants did not explode, whereas they had already anticipated.


The two elders eyes were very serious looking into the furnace, because Xiang Tianzhi had already separated the plant residue and burned it to the ground, leaving only the essence of the plant.


The two elders exchanged glances, because what Xiang Tianzhi did was not according to the rules of concocting the pill, they were also at a loss as to what kind of pill Xiang Tianzhi would make by mixing all the different types of plants.


Back they seriously looked into the furnace, and hoped to know what kind of pill to make, which did not immediately blow up the furnace with different plant elements.


Plant types also have elements, generally alchemists will make one type of pill according to the type of element that the plant has, if the plant is randomly mixed, the, then the plant would clash when it was burned to obtain its essence, and result in an explosion inside the furnace.


Inside the Xiang Tianzhi furnace, a fragrant scent came out from within the furnace and hurriedly Xiang Tianzhi blocked the scent of the plant with spiritual energy, even though the furnace had been blocked the aroma was still slightly smelled by everyone who was in the room.


The fragrant aroma of the plant indicates if the plant has been successfully extracted, and becomes an essence in liquid form. Everyone was astonished, so quickly Xiang Tianzhi had succeeded at stage 5.


Immediately Xiang Tianzhi burned the plant essence liquid to thicken, and after it started to thicken quickly, he instantly separated according to the elements the plant possessed. Xiang Tianzhi's ten fingers twitched in control of his fire and spiritually separated the essence that began to coagulate.


The two Elders did not blink their eyes seeing Xiang Tianzhi do something that no alchemist would ever do, usually alchemists were only able to make 1 pill at most 2 pills of poor plant quality. But what Xiang Tianzhi did was to separate the 8 thickened essence liquids with two different colors, namely white and yellow.


It was certain that Xiang Tianzhi would make 2 different types of pills, namely the yellow Qi energy recovery pill and the white stamina pill. Had it been, if he had not reminded Xue Mei's message, it would have definitely made a cultivation pill of as much as 3 grains with low-tier plants. Although it was only one type of pill, cultivation pills were more valuable than the other two types of pills.


Not wanting to make a fuss, Xiang Tianzhi only made 2 types of pills in general.


Xiang Tianzhi was already at the seventh stage, condensing the pill until it was round after separating into 8 pill grains. The two elders did not comment at all they were serious about seeing the process, hoping for them to be enlightened.


Time passed until almost two incense times, and Xiang Tianzhi had managed to concoct 8 pills. Soon the two elders approached and opened the furnace cover and the fragrant scent of the finished pill filled the room.


They take out a pill quality testing tool, with a pill quality testing tool anyone will not be fooled. Pill quality testing tool shape like water meter, there are three lines and one hole. The first line is definitely the low stage, the second line the intermediate stage and the third line the upper stage.


'It's a good thing I only made the upper stage, if the peak stage ... I must have gotten Xue Mei's nag!' inner Xiang Tianzhi while looking at the pill quality testing tool.


Elder Tsai Yelu took out 1 pill and inserted it into the hole of the pill quality testing tool. Immediately a red ray appeared on the third line, a sign of the best quality.


In disbelief, elder Tsai Yelu tested the seven pill grains and the result was the same.


The bodies of the two elders trembled violently and looked at Xiang Tianzhi as if an old monster in disguise, their bodies staggered almost collapsing if not restrained by the supervisory committee.


Yeah, he's a stranded old monster.


Xiang Tianzhi was astonished to see the reaction of the two elders and just shrugged both shoulders, then he walked out of the examination hall, for him whatever the most important result passed and obtained the Alchemist badge, regardless of what level.


Everyone who was outside the examination hall also looked and was astonished with the youngest participant having succeeded before spending two incense times, with a total of 8 top stage pill items. All the participants were embarrassed by his own thoughts that had been mocking and immediately refocused.


Xiang Tianzhi casually walked out of the examination hall, regardless of the gazes everyone on the inside wanted to look outside.


Xiang Tianzhi looked at Lang Ying, Lili, Li Yenny and all the women, he did not glance at all at all all kinds of men. Xiang Tianzhi smiled at the woman, whose mouth was opening slightly wide and eyes were twinkling, what did all the women think.


"Woi!" reprimand Xiang Tianzhi while pinching the noses of Lang Ying and Lili.


"ah! You're great!"


The two women regained their senses and immediately hugged Xiang Tianzhi, they were extremely proud of being the lovers of an Alchemist. Being the lover of an Alchemist is the dream of all women of any kind. Having an Alchemist lover alive was definitely guaranteed, status rose quickly, everywhere was always respected, wealth was abundant and that would definitely be able to increase strength with the support of an Alchemist.


The awakened Li Yenny instantly charged in the middle and tightly hugged Xiang Tianzhi. The three women who had taken her chastity joined Xiang Tianzhi from behind, and made Xiang Tianzhi pinched.


All of the men became sullen, envious and resentful of Xiang Tianzhi, wanting to beat up his face and snatch his woman, but they obviously did not dare to make a fuss in the Heaven Pill Pavilion.


After the practice exam time ran out, Xiang Tianzhi returned to enter due to being summoned by the examination supervisory committee, and everyone could only look out of the glass impatiently wanting to know the result.


Xiang Tianzhi looked at the many participants who were disappointed at the failure, some smiling brightly like Wu Liqin, Tsai Xinxin and the other 6 participants. However, a bright smile disappeared when Xiang Tianzhi entered again.


The two elders immediately greeted Xiang Tianzhi and congratulated him on the success of becoming a mid stage Grand Master level Alchemist.


"Junior Tian, congratulations on his success of having become the youngest Master-level Alchemist throughout history in the Eastern Cloud Continent!" Tsai Yelu immediately gave the badge, the badge read 'Zhangwo' (Master) and below it was written the number '3' (Only).


Xiang Tianzhi frowned, upon seeing the Alchemist badge. Elder Dong Jian who saw Xiang Tianzhi's reaction, immediately explained. "Junior Tian, you actually obtained the Alchemist Grand Master badge, relating to us only being Grand Master level as well, then only branch leaders in Xiang Kingdom can issue Grand Master badges. So it was only for a while, the Grand Master badge would be sent out at the earliest 1 week of travel...,"


After being given an explanation of the authority of the two elders, Xiang Tianzhi understood and accepted the Master level Alchemist badge, he also obtained a special robe as a purple-colored Alchemist.


In addition, Xiang Tianzhi had an obligation as an Alchemist, which was to make any type of pill amounting to 5 pills in a day, and sales were split in two, as all materials were provided by the Heaven Pill Pavilion. Xiang Tianzhi had 3 days to rest and 4 days to work.


Xiang Tianzhi also supported him, for him it was very trivial, moreover he needed popularity among everyone, if necessary the upper class. With him being known, his plan to recruit martial practitioners would be easy.


After coming to the certification, Xiang Tianzhi got a reward in the form of 10 thousand gold pieces and some plants that he would make into a pill, all the gifts were stored inside the low-level dimensional ring, all the gifts were stored inside the lower-tier dimensional ring, and it just so happened that Xiang Tianzhi did not have it, other than the secret dimensional ring.
