The old man in white looked at Fang Lin with strange eyes: "Are you really going to the second floor?"
Fang Lin wondered: "Didn't it mean that every floor is open? Can't I go to the second floor?"
The old man in white shook his head and said: "Every level of the Pill Tower is naturally open, but not everyone can go to the higher level. You need to go through a test to make the Pill Tower admit that you are qualified to enter the second level. Once the test fails, , you will be sent directly out of the Danji Tower and will not be able to come in again."
Hearing this, Fang Lin's mouth showed a bit of disdain: "Is this still called openness? It's not that you can go to a higher level only after passing the test. What's the difference between this and not being open?"
The old man in white frowned: "Of course there is a difference. If you don't open up, you won't even have a chance to take the test. But now, at least you can pass the test and enter a higher level."
Fang Lin did not talk nonsense with the old man in white, but asked directly: "Then what test do I want to take?"
The old man in white glanced at him: "When you are ready, I will let you take the test."
Fang Lin grabbed the Millennium Corpse Ginseng, stuffed it into the Jiugong Bag without any explanation, and then said to the old man in white: "I'm ready, let's start now."
Zhao Shenkong also heard the conversation between the two and learned that Fang Lin was going to the second level for a test. His face showed no signs of wavering, but in his heart he wished that Fang Lin failed the test and then left the Danji Tower directly.
However, when he thought that Fang Lin was going to the second level to accept the test, while he was still lingering here to understand the stone tablet, Zhao Shenkong suddenly felt that he was too weak.
The old man in white waved his hand, and Fang Lin immediately disappeared into the ancient stone palace.
Fang Lin only felt his eyes blur, and then he came to an empty hall. It was silent. Apart from himself, there was no other person, not even the old man in white.
"Hey, old man, come out quickly. Where is this place? What's the test?" Fang Lin asked loudly.
However, the old man in white did not appear. After a while, a very ordinary pill furnace appeared in front of Fang Lin.
Fang Lin felt confused and reached out to touch it, but found that it was just a shadow.
"What tricks are you doing?" Fang Lin muttered, but did not act rashly anymore and took a few steps back.
After the alchemy furnace appeared, another alchemist whose face could not be seen appeared. Of course, like the alchemy furnace, this alchemist was also illusory.
At this moment, the alchemist raised a flame, put each medicinal material into the alchemy furnace, and started to make alchemy.
Fang Lin stood aside and watched all this with a frown, feeling more and more weird the more he looked at it.
Every step of this alchemist's steps was in order, without any flaws or mistakes, but Fang Lin just felt that something was wrong.
Unknowingly, the alchemy was coming to an end, but at this moment, there was a muffled sound in the alchemy furnace, followed by a puff of black smoke.
Refining alchemy failed.
The picture disappeared at this point, and Fang Lin frowned, still thinking about what he had just seen.
"Did you see anything?" At this moment, an illusory voice appeared. It was an old man wearing a blue robe, with a peaceful face and looking at Fang Lin with a smile.
The old man in green robe and the old man in white have completely different feelings. The old man in white seems a bit wretched and philistine, but the old man in green robe is ethereal, as if he is the kind of old alchemist who only focuses on the alchemy path and has no other thoughts.
Fang Lin bowed slightly to the old man in green robe.
"You are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen. Did you see any problems just now?" The old man in green robe continued to ask, looking at Fang Lin with a pair of deep eyes, looking forward to Fang Lin's answer.
Fang Lin was silent, thought for a while, and then said: "There is no problem."
When the old man in green robe heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Why is there no problem? It was clear that the alchemy failed just now."
Fang Lin shook his head: "The failure of alchemy is just a result, but there was indeed no problem in the process."
"Since you think there is no problem, why does the alchemy still fail? If there is no problem, it shouldn't fail." The old man in green robe asked, the light in his eyes getting brighter.
Fang Lin smiled: "There is indeed no problem with the alchemy process in the picture just now. The reason for the failure is that I have to ask you, senior."
The old man in green robe laughed and patted Fang Lin on the shoulder. However, the old man in green robe was not a physical entity, but an illusory body, so his palm passed through Fang Lin's shoulder.
"You are indeed extraordinary. You can believe your own eyes and not mislead yourself because of me." The old man in green robe said with admiration.
Fang Lin smiled, appearing neither humble nor arrogant. In fact, he was not misled. As an Alchemist, he believed in his own judgment and his own eyes.
"But the test is not just this. Do you want to continue?" The old man in green robe said playfully.
Fang Lin nodded: "Of course I have to continue."
"Okay!" the old man in green robe said, and then waved his hand, and another illusory scene appeared in front of Fang Lin.
This time, Fang Lin saw a scene that shocked him extremely.
A huge alchemy furnace is burning with raging fire, and many heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been put into it.
But at this moment, the alchemist whose face could not be seen clearly jumped up, jumped into the alchemy furnace, and turned into ashes with the flames.
Immediately afterwards, golden light surged in the alchemy furnace, and an elixir slowly flew out.
The elixir is ready!
The picture then disappeared, and Fang Lin's expression was not good-looking, looking a little serious and dignified.
The old man in green robe asked: "Do you think it is right or wrong to make elixirs in this way?"
Fang Lin raised his head and said directly without any hesitation: "Of course it's right."
The old man in green robe frowned, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Fang Lin naturally noticed it, but he didn't care and continued: "It is taboo to use one's body to make elixirs, but it does not exist. Some extremely weird elixirs require an alchemist to use one's body to make elixirs, and one of the elixirs is , Everything in heaven and earth can be used as medicine. Although humans are the spirit of all things, they are also among all things in heaven and earth. Although they are cruel, they are in compliance with the laws of heaven and earth."
The old man in green robe looked at Fang Lin in shock. He did not expect that Fang Lin had such profound insights that he could not refute.
As an alchemist, Fang Lin's understanding of alchemy has already surpassed that of any alchemist and is unmatched.
Using one's own body to make elixirs may seem cruel, but it has its own reason and meaning, but most people find it difficult to accept it.
Just like in his previous life, when Fang Lin refined the pill of reincarnation of life and death, he risked his own life. If he succeeds, he can transcend life and death and not enter reincarnation.
And throughout the ages, there are not a few people who have made alchemy with their own bodies. Those who can really achieve this step are all alchemists who put everything on the alchemy path and are truly worthy of admiration.
"You are very special! More special than any genius I have seen!" said the old man in green robe.
