Chapter 1780 Seventy-Two Alchemy Techniques
The first level tests the ability to refine elixirs.
Then this second level tests the familiarity and understanding of elixirs, because each elixir has different habits. If you want to keep the properties of the elixirs from being lost, you must use different methods to collect and preserve them!
For example, Song Yan obtained an elixir called Hanyuecao from the jade slips. This elixir grows in extremely cold places. After successfully collecting it, it needs to be kept cold enough, otherwise its medicinal properties will be lost quickly.
Another example is the elixir called Jade Beauty in his jade slips. This elixir must not be touched with the body. Therefore, when collecting it, it needs to be wrapped with the power of immortality. Once it comes into contact with the body, then, Jade Beauty's medicinal properties will be lost by more than half in an instant.
There is also a kind of elixir called Linglong grass. This elixir is even more special. It likes to listen to music. Therefore, you need to sing continuously when collecting it to attract its attention. Otherwise, it will burrow into the ground and run away. , if you have to forcibly pick it, then it will destroy its medicinal properties. Even if you collect it, it will be nothing more than a useless medicinal plant.
Therefore, if you don’t understand the habits of these fairy medicines and only know a bit of recklessness, then there is definitely no way to pass this second level.
The medicine garden is very large, but it is divided into many areas. Each area is shrouded in a unique formation. With these formations, an environment suitable for the growth of those fairy medicines can be created.
Moreover, these formations also have the function of isolating the detection of immortal consciousness. Correspondingly, it also increases the difficulty of picking elixirs. Therefore, if you want to know what elixirs are planted in the formations, you need to enter them to check. This is also A huge waste of time.
As soon as his mind moved, Song Yan's immortal consciousness spread out and instantly enveloped the entire medicine garden. Although he could not detect the types of immortal medicine in the formation, he could infer the formation based on the formation. What type of elixir is grown in Fa Nei.
He has summarized the thousands of elixirs in the jade slips according to their different attributes. Among them, there are eighty-seven cold elixirs; seventy-five positive elixirs; ninety-nine metallic elixirs, and water elixirs. There are 108 elixirs with attributes, 81 elixirs with wood attributes, 135 fungus elixirs, 196 poison elixirs, and the rest are special. The elixir of sex.
Look for the cold elixir first, because the area with various ice formations is closest to him.
In a flash, he arrived at that area.
It only took him half a quarter of an hour to pick eighty-seven cold-attribute elixirs.
Then, he came to the metallic area and picked ninety-nine elixirs. Then, he went to different areas and picked all the elixirs.
The time spent was only more than half an hour.
"Senior, all the thousands of elixirs in the jade slips have been picked, please check them!"
Song Yan presented the storage ring containing the elixir and the jade slip at the same time.
The old man in black robe took the storage ring and inspected it, then nodded with satisfaction: "The properties of all the elixirs remain good, passed!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Song Yan said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Stand aside first and wait for others!"
"yes!"
Song Yan walked aside and stood there with his eyes closed to rest.
When the time came one hour after the assessment, Ji Yukong also walked out of the medicine garden and presented the picked elixir and jade slips.
"There is an elixir that has lost more than half of its potency. It meets the requirements. Pass. Just stand aside and wait!" the old man in black robe said calmly.
"Thank you, senior!"
After Ji Yukong saluted, he came to Song Yan and asked in a low voice: "Brother Song, have you passed?"
"Passed by luck!"
Song Yan smiled modestly.
"That's good!"
In the next hour, people came one after another, but only a few dozen people passed. Two hours later, at least 300 people still did not return, and they were directly judged as eliminated by the old man in black robe.
Therefore, only eighty-three people passed the second round of assessment, barely reaching one-tenth.
It is worth mentioning that, including Song Yan, all eleven Xuanxian passed the examination, and most of the remaining people were Golden Immortals, with only six Earthly Immortals.
"Now, for the third round of assessment, everyone, follow me!"
The old man in black robe said something and walked out, and everyone quickly followed.
Half an hour later.
The old man in black robe led everyone to an empty hall. There were seventy-two stone pillars engraved with mysterious runes erected in the hall.
The old man in black robe pointed at these stone pillars and said: "The runes on each stone pillar represent an elixir. Those who can understand three elixirs within an hour can enter the next round and accept the personal test of my master. Let's begin. !”
With a thought in his mind, Song Yan wrapped a stone pillar with his immortal consciousness. The runes that were originally like dead objects actually came alive in his immortal consciousness. Looking at the runes flying around under the cover of his immortal consciousness, He searched for the patterns among them, then copied them all in the sea of consciousness and began to arrange them.
He immediately understood that this was a test of the soul level.
Refining alchemy is a boring profession, especially refining some powerful elixirs, which often takes years, decades or even centuries. During this period, there must be no slack.
Being sleepless is nothing to an immortal, but the need to maintain strong energy at all times is quite demanding on the soul.
Song Yan's soul has been baptized by the spiritual energy of chaos. It has already undergone one transformation and is preparing for a second transformation. Therefore, the level of his soul is really extremely high.
In less than half a moment, he successfully combined these runes into a complete elixir formula.
Then, he directly wrapped the three stone pillars with his immortal consciousness and performed the deduction together. This time, in less than half a quarter of an hour, he successfully deduced the three elixir techniques.
So, he simply wrapped the remaining sixty-eight stone pillars with immortal consciousness. Looking at the densely packed runes flying in the immortal consciousness, he did not feel dazzled at all.
This time, it took him half an hour.
The sixty-eight alchemy techniques were deduced together.
An hour passed quietly, and the old man in black robe who had been standing there suddenly said: "Those who have understood more than three elixirs will stay, and the others will leave!"
Suddenly, most of the eighty-three people left, and only fifteen people remained.
Surprisingly, there was an Earth Immortal among them.
In addition, there are three golden immortals.
The remaining eleven are all Xuanxian.
"Those who have mastered the Ten Pills and above stand on the left!"
The old man in black robe said again.
So, six people walked to the left, including Song Yan, Ji Yukong, and the Earth Immortal. The remaining three were all Xuan Immortals. The white-clothed Xuan Immortal who asked Song Yan to withdraw voluntarily was not here. Therefore, he looked at Song Yan and others with deep jealousy in his eyes.
"Little guy, how many elixir techniques have you mastered?"
Suddenly, the old man in black robe stared at the Earth Immortal and asked.
The Earth Immortal said in a deep voice: "Back to Senior, Nineteen Paths!"
"Very good! Very good!" The old man in black robe nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the other four people one after another. Among them, Ji Yukong understood the thirty-two alchemy techniques.
"What about you?" The old man in black robe looked at Song Yan, with a faint expectation in his eyes.
