"It sounds so awesome..."
Chen Chen did not resist and allowed the middle-aged alchemist to pull him out. As for the hall, it was taken over by another alchemist.
As soon as they arrived outside, the two of them were stopped by Yuan Qingtian.
"This is my distant cousin, who has been with me since he was a child." Chen Chen quickly explained.
The middle-aged alchemist nodded when he heard this and said, "Then come with me. The alchemist really needs one or two followers like this."
Yuan Qingtian was speechless when he saw this. How long did it take for him to come out? What is this for
Before he could figure out the situation, Chen Chen dragged him away.
"No... Senior brother, can you enter the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect now?"
Halfway through, Yuan Qingtian whispered.
The Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect is one of the four major sects of the human race, and the entry threshold should be very high. However, it didn't take even an hour for the senior brother to come and go. This is too exaggerated.
Could it be that senior brother is really all-powerful
Not only can you train your Qi, but also your body, so now you can also make elixirs
"What do you know? If you work as hard as me, you can do it too. Usually when you are in a daze and have random thoughts, I am always thinking and studying in my mind."
Chen Chen casually educated him. Although this was nonsense, it was a white lie.
People with mediocre qualifications must work hard. How can they get ahead without working hard
Yuan Qingtian patted his head in annoyance upon hearing this and said, "I feel like I knew a lot of things before, but I don't remember them for some reason."
Chen Chen's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly stopped him from continuing to take pictures: "Who asked you to hit a rock while walking? If you take pictures again, you probably won't even recognize me!"
Yuan Qingtian quickly put down his hand after hearing this.
But in my heart, I admire my senior brother more and more, and I am even more convinced that my senior brother can do anything.
If one day his senior brother suddenly jumped out and gave birth to a child, he wouldn't be surprised.
…
The group of three people quickly left the city and arrived at the foot of a large mountain behind the city.
This mountain towers into the sky and is extremely majestic. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, everything is surrounded by aura, like a fairyland.
The mountain gate, which is nearly a hundred meters high, is made entirely of emerald green spiritual stone. In front of the mountain gate lies a golden lion monster that is dozens of meters long, taking a nap.
However, this is not the most eye-catching.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are rows of mats next to the lion monster, and nearly a hundred people are kneeling neatly at this time!
"Are the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect's rules so strict? They even punish you by kneeling!"
Yuan Qingtian was a little angry.
As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Punishment like kneeling is much more severe than a beating!
After hearing this, the middle-aged alchemist said slowly: "These are all people seeking elixirs. These are only monks at Nascent Soul and above. Other low-level monks are not qualified to kneel here."
Hearing this, Yuan Qingtian's jaw almost dropped in shock.
Chen Chen was also silent, with only two words in his mind.
"Great pen!"
…
Climbing up the spiritual stone steps, the spiritual energy becomes more and more intense.
Chen Chen has been to the Haoran Sword Sect and felt the aura within the Haoran Sword Sect. However, compared to the Jade Cauldron Dan Sect, the Haoran Sword Sect is still far behind.
It is obvious that the mountain gate of the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect itself is a super cave heaven paradise, and it has undergone some transformations to achieve this appearance.
"My Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect has nearly a hundred sects directly under it, and the directly affiliated sects have thousands of affiliated sects. Its power covers the entire Eastern Border. Even the Dajing Dynasty in Eastern Border can't compare with our Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect in terms of the number of monks under its command. "
The middle-aged alchemist boasted as he walked.
Chen Chen kept praising him all the way, which made the middle-aged alchemist beam with joy.
…
"The other three major sects also have to look at the face of my Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect, because each of their sects has many alchemists that we have settled in. Once we withdraw, then they... Haha!"
Blowing and blowing, the middle-aged alchemist led Chen Chen to a giant square on the mountainside.
Some kind of assessment is also taking place in this square, but the quality of the monks here and the spiritual herbs used far exceeds the level of Jade Cauldron City.
"Uncle Master, I discovered this young man in Jade Cauldron City. He seems to be extremely sensitive to the medicinal properties of medicinal materials. Can you make an exception and allow him to participate in the assessment here?"
The middle-aged alchemist walked to the edge of the square and saluted an old man.
When the old man heard this, he glanced at Chen Chen lightly.
Chen Chen looked innocent and looked around from time to time, looking like he was inexperienced in the world.
Seeing this scene, the old man nodded and said no more.
The middle-aged alchemist was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately walked to Chen Chen's side.
"Here are all disciples of monk families or sects that are related to our Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect. They have laid the foundation early! There were originally a hundred people in total.
However, after three rounds of screening, only ten people are left.
These ten people will eventually join our Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect, but refining alchemy is like a battle of skills, so they can compete with each other. You will join them later and compete in the final round. "
Chen Chen spread his hands and said innocently: "Senior, I don't know how to make elixirs..."
The middle-aged alchemist patted Chen Chen's shoulder when he heard this, with a slight smile on his face.
"Don't worry, how can it be that easy to make alchemy? Neither of them can.
This last round of competition only depends on your talent in understanding the properties of medicine. If you were able to perform like that in Jade Cauldron City because you relied on rote memorization, then I advise you to confess to me now.
From now on, don't say silly things like saying that a tree is as beautiful as a tree but will be destroyed by the wind, as this will only make people laugh. "
Chen Chen said nothing, but his young face was full of stubbornness.
Yuan Qingtian on the side looked confused. For some reason, the senior brother's expression today was different from before. It always seemed that the senior brother suddenly seemed a lot greener today.
…
Half an hour later.
Five of the ten young men left the scene sadly, while the remaining five were all dressed in fine clothes, with wild expressions on their faces, and their eyes wished they could see the sky.
The old man from before came over and said calmly: "You guys performed well, but when it comes to alchemy, the most important thing is talent, otherwise there wouldn't be so few alchemists in the world.
So in this final round, there are ten questions in total, which will test your talents! "
After that, the old man called the five people and Chen Chenjin in front of him. With a wave of his hand, a long table appeared among them.
There are six very common Qingling grass plants placed on the long table. They look exactly the same. The difference in years is estimated to be no more than three years.
"Choose the Qingling grass that you think has the strongest medicinal properties."
The old man said calmly.
Except for Chen Chen, the expressions of the other five people also became solemn.
This is indeed a test of talent. To know the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, it not only depends on the year, but also on the method of preservation, whether the medicinal properties are lost, etc.
They have specialized in alchemy since they were young, and they have already read all kinds of books to death. They can do it quickly and well just by classifying medicinal materials according to their properties.
But this question really depends on your ability.
"System, where is the Qingling grass with the strongest medicinal properties nearby?" Chen Chen repeated the old man's question in his mind.
"Half a meter to the left."
After hearing this answer, Chen Chen directly took the third Qingling grass guided by the system in his hand.
The other five people were extremely shocked when they saw this. Why did this person choose without tasting it? The properties of medicine cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Could this man be a fool
Without thinking any further, the others picked out a little bit from the remaining five Qingling grasses and began to taste them carefully, and soon another person picked one.
But the rest of the people became more and more nervous when they saw this... Six people choose six plants. This not only depends on whether you can distinguish them, but also on how fast you can distinguish them!
After a while.
The last person picked up the last Qingling grass with a pale face. At this time, he had no choice.
Seeing this, the old man said: "The order of selection is the ranking of this question. Okay, next question."
Upon hearing this, the five people looked at Chen Chen at the same time, with shock, confusion, and vigilance in their eyes.
Chen Chen's cheeks were slightly red, and he rubbed his hands slightly, seeming a little excited.
Before they could continue looking, the old man placed seven more spiritual herbs on the long table.
One of them is a fire-attribute spiritual grass, and the other six are all wood-attribute spiritual grasses, with different years and types.
"Which wood-attribute spiritual grass can best enhance the medicinal properties of fire-attribute spiritual grass?"
Not long after the old man finished speaking, Chen Chen was the first to choose another plant.
Others looked surprised and confused when they saw this, and they didn't know if this person was being blind.
After a few minutes, the results speak for themselves.
…
Another half hour passed.
The five of them were all mentally exhausted and no longer tasted the medicine. They all looked at Chen Chen's performance with pale faces.
Tasting medicinal properties requires a stable state of mind. After Chen Chen won the first place five times in a row with lightning speed, no matter what medicinal materials they tasted, they all had the same taste.
That’s bitterness…
Even the old man who had always been calm began to doubt life, and his words were slightly trembling.
"Ten...ten questions are over, Chen Chen is first!"
Chen Chen smiled shyly when he heard this and said respectfully: "Everyone, I accept it!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can someone be able to tell the medicinal properties of medicinal materials at just a glance!"
Someone shouted, their eyes full of disbelief.
He is a well-known alchemy wizard in his family. He has no rival in understanding the properties of medicine, but today he was beaten. This was unacceptable to his fragile heart!
As soon as he took the lead, the others also shouted!
"There is no such person! Even a formal alchemist can't do it!"
"There is definitely something wrong!"
…
"He cheated!"
The last person pointed at Chen Chen, his eyes full of doubts!
Chen Chen felt ashamed, but he didn't expect to be seen...
However, there was an expression of shock, anger, and grievance on his face, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Then, he looked at the middle-aged alchemist who brought him here as if asking for help.
You promised to show off casually, but no wind will come to urge you
Why did someone question him for cheating just now
Isn’t this a case of blaming someone’s innocence out of thin air
The middle-aged alchemist finally came to his senses at this moment. To be honest, he was shocked just now.
Looking at Chen Chen's innocent yet aggrieved eyes, he felt his cheeks feel hot and ashamed.
Within a moment, all this shame turned into anger towards those people!
"You fart!"
