The promotion from a six-star alchemy master to a seven-star alchemy grandmaster, although it seems to be only a small rank, there is a world of difference, just like the difference between a God King realm powerhouse and a Semi-Saint realm powerhouse, they are simply not the same.
A six-star alchemy master can refine a top-grade divine elixir, but a seven-star alchemy grandmaster can refine a semi-saint elixir. It is because the seven-star alchemy grandmaster has realized the true meaning of alchemy that he can be called a grandmaster!
The Seven-Star Alchemy Grand Master holds a very high status even among the Twelve Immortal Holy Lands, so the Alchemy Ceremony sets a minimum threshold. Only the Seven-Star Alchemy Grand Master is qualified to participate in the Alchemy Ceremony!
If you want to be promoted to a seven-star alchemy master, although the assessment seems simple and you only need to refine three semi-saint elixirs, it is extremely difficult.
There are only six ingredients for three kinds of semi-saint elixirs. If something goes wrong during the refining process, all efforts will fail in an instant!
Moreover, once one fails the assessment to be promoted to a Seven-Star Alchemy Grand Master, he will not be allowed to take the assessment and certification again within one year. So if Ling Xiao fails, there is no way he will be promoted to a Seven-Star Alchemy Grand Master before the Dan Fu Ceremony!
Lu Yunlong and Lu Qingluan were nervous and expectant. Ling Xiao's previous performance made them full of confidence in Ling Xiao.
Xiao Rui and Xiao Yun were equally nervous. They were afraid that if Ling Xiao passed the assessment of the Seven-Star Alchemy Grand Master, they would have to lend the Heart Alchemy Sutra to Lu Yunlong for a look, which would be a huge loss for the Xiao family.
In the secret room, Ling Xiao looked extremely calm, neither happy nor sad.
"Mr. Zhao, do you want to refine some elixir?"
Wang Hong looked at Ling Xiao and asked softly.
"I choose Wood Holy Pill, Fire Holy Pill and Water Holy Pill!"
Ling Xiao said calmly.
"Ancient Five Elements Holy Pill? Master Zhao, you have to think it through. This Ancient Five Elements Holy Pill is extremely difficult to refine. Even a Nine-turn Alchemy Grandmaster would find it difficult to succeed. So although the Five Elements Holy Pill is a semi-holy pill, it is comparable to a perfect holy pill. Generally, only the Alchemy Saints in my Danfu Mountain can refine some, and it has a great loss to the Yuanshen and the Five Elements Law!"
Wang Hong was suddenly a little surprised and began to persuade him.
Although the Five Elements Holy Pill is very famous, it is very difficult to refine a pure Five Elements Holy Pill. In addition to having a very deep understanding of the Five Elements, refining the Five Elements Holy Pill will also consume one's own soul and the origin of the Holy Way.
Therefore, even the Alchemy Saint would rarely refine the Five Elements Holy Pill!
However, although the Five Elements Holy Pill is only a semi-saint pill, it is very mysterious. If one can swallow the Five Elements Holy Pill, a semi-saint level strong man will be able to comprehend the true meaning of the Five Elements and condense the Five Elements Seed in the body.
The Five Elements Holy Sect attaches great importance to the Five Elements Holy Pill, but the number of Five Elements Holy Pills refined each year is too small, so the value of the Five Elements Holy Pill is also extremely high.
"It is also difficult for a Grand Master of Nine-turn Alchemy to refine it? Vice President Wang, if I can refine the Five Elements Holy Pill, can I be directly promoted to a Grand Master of Nine-turn Alchemy?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed and he smiled slightly.
However, he was just joking and didn't take it seriously. The assessment at Danfu Taoist Academy was very difficult, and each promotion to one star required strict assessment and certification.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hong nodded seriously and said, "If you can refine all five kinds of Five Elements Holy Pills, you can be directly promoted to a nine-star alchemy master! But we will only provide you with one material for each pill, which means you only have one chance. If you fail, all your efforts will be in vain!"
"One chance to refine the Five Elements Holy Pill? This condition is indeed very harsh!"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"So Mr. Zhao, I advise you to try refining other semi-saint elixirs!"
Wang Hong smiled bitterly.
"Vice President Wang, I don't like trouble! The tests are too time-consuming. I choose to refine the Five Elements Holy Pill. Please bring me all the materials for refining the Five Elements Holy Pill! I want to give it a try!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
"What?! Mr. Zhao, are you sure?"
Wang Hong looked at Ling Xiao with some surprise, but his eyes were as if he was looking at a fool.
"I am sure!"
Ling Xiao nodded seriously.
"Okay! I'll go get the ingredients for the Five Elements Holy Pill for you, but this challenge is really too difficult!"
Wang Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He originally admired Ling Xiao very much, and even thought that Ling Xiao was a genius in alchemy who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Wenlong and Xiao Rui. But now, seeing that Ling Xiao actually overestimated his own abilities and chose to challenge the Five Elements Holy Pill, he suddenly became extremely disappointed.
You are still too young and energetic, and you don’t understand the true meaning of the master of alchemy at all!
However, with two seven-star alchemy masters from the Lu and Xiao families supervising here, Wang Hong couldn't say much and could only let Ling Xiao go!
"Master, are you really choosing the Five Elements Holy Pill? Aren't you afraid of failure?"
King Lei Ling and the goddess of the underworld were also extremely surprised, thinking that Ling Xiao might have been a little too arrogant this time.
"Just refine the Five Elements Holy Pill, and I won't fail!"
Ling Xiao smiled calmly, his eyes full of strong self-confidence.
In the Danshu Pavilion, there is the recipe for the Five Elements Holy Pill. Although it is an ancient recipe, it is included in the Danshu Pavilion because it is extremely difficult to refine. Otherwise, a recipe for a semi-holy pill would never be included in the Danshu Pavilion.
It wasn't that Ling Xiao had to refine the Five Elements Holy Pill. It was just that he had searched the entire Alchemy Book Pavilion and only found the recipe for the Five Elements Holy Pill. If he had used any other recipe, he really wouldn't have been able to refine it.
What's more, Ling Xiao also has the confidence that he can refine the Five Elements Holy Pill!
Wang Hong quickly took the materials for refining the Five Elements Holy Pill and handed them to Ling Xiao. At the same time, he also activated the formation in the secret room. A flash of light appeared in front of Ling Xiao, and an ancient alchemy cauldron appeared.
In order to prevent cheating, one must refine the elixir with the Danfu Taoist Academy's cauldron and earth fire under the supervision of Wang Hong and the other two, only then can one pass the certification assessment!
"Five Elements Heavenly Zhi Grass, Golden Sun Dragon Vine, Azure Divine Tree, Myriad Changes of Heavenly Water, Cloud Fire Golden Sand, Ancient Land Xi Ran... As expected, they are all materials for refining the Five Elements Holy Pill!"
Ling Xiao opened the storage bag that Wang Hong gave him, and saw hundreds of kinds of dazzling divine medicines and semi-holy medicines in it. They exuded a strange medicinal fragrance, shone brightly, and were colorful, very extraordinary.
There was a hint of satisfaction in Ling Xiao's eyes.
Buzz!
A very mysterious aura emanated from his body, and in an instant Ling Xiao slapped the alchemy cauldron in front of him, and the cauldron immediately vibrated violently. Rays of light moved around the cauldron like a divine dragon, and it actually made a clear dragon roar!
