Chapter 1180 Pharmacist Assistant

Ge Dagen's plan was to take the pharmacist assistant assessment first, and then try the alchemist's apprentice assessment after passing. If they both passed, everyone would be happy. If only one passed, there would not be much loss. If his luck was extremely bad and he failed the first assessment, he would not care. Anyway, so many years had been delayed. At worst, he could come again next year. It was impossible for his luck to be so bad every time.

As for Qingyang, he also felt that the difficulty of the errand boy's assessment was not high. He had a high talent in alchemy, and with his cultivation in the Jindan realm, his memory and comprehension were much higher than those of low-level cultivators. He had also studied the pharmacology of the dark pill for a few days before, so he was no longer a layman in the dark pill.

However, Qingyang was not sure that he would pass the pharmacist assistant's assessment. If he failed, he would have nothing. Because he and Ge Dagen had different attitudes of not caring, Ge Dagen could wait a few more years, but Qingyang could not wait, so he took the errand boy's assessment first.

Qingyang's assessment went smoothly. The person in charge of the assessment was also a Jindan cultivator. After seeing Qingyang's cultivation and appearance, he did not intend to embarrass him. It is true that Ghost Valley has a great reputation, but a young Jindan cultivator with a promising future came to work as the lowest-level errand boy in Ghost Valley. This was a sign of respect for Ghost Valley. If someone deliberately made things difficult for him, wouldn't it be a disgrace to his own sect? So he asked Qingyang a few simple questions and let him pass.

After the errand boy assessment, two-thirds of the cultivators on the field were gone. Most of the cultivators knew their own alchemy skills and knew that they would not be able to pass the subsequent assessments even if they participated, so they did not think about trying their luck in the assessment of the pharmacist assistant.

Fang Liang and Yuan Zhu did not plan to participate in the assessment of the pharmacist assistant. They had barely passed the errand boy before, so they naturally had no taboos in the later assessments. However, the two did not leave and planned to stay on the scene to watch the subsequent assessments. They had no relatives or friends in Ghost Valley, and the identity of the errand boy had no status, so they naturally had to follow Ge Dagen and Qingyang.

Let's not talk about other things for now. The assessment of the assistant pharmacist started soon. This time, Ge Dagen also signed up. The assistant pharmacist did not test any pharmacology and basic knowledge, but directly required the refining of the Qi-refining level of the Nether Pill. Because it was an open-air competition, everyone could do it at the same time.

Although Ge Dagen was a fairy cultivator and only had the foundation-building period, he had prepared for this assessment in Ruyou City for many years. Moreover, the difficulty of the assistant pharmacist's assessment was only to refine the Qi-refining level of the Nether Pill, so Ge ​​Dagen passed the assessment easily.

As for Qingyang, the competition process was a little more thrilling. His identity as a Jindan cultivator did not have any bonus effect in this stage, so Qingyang's difficulty in this assessment was the same as everyone else's. Although Qingyang had made up for the knowledge of the Nether Pill in Ruyou City a few days ago, and had the advice of Master Guicang, he did not try it himself, so there were many problems in the whole refining process.

Fortunately, he was once a senior alchemist king who refined elixirs. Although he was not very helpful in refining the Nether Pill, he had accumulated enough adaptability and had rich means of dealing with problems. The trial materials given by the Ghost Valley were also sufficient, and Qingyang finally barely passed the test.

Ge Dagen and Qingyang both became assistant pharmacists. Not only were they happy, but Fang Liang and Yuan Zhu were also proud of it. After all, they had decided to survive together in the Ghost Valley. The higher the status of Qingyang and Ge Dagen, the more beneficial it would be for everyone in the future in the Ghost Valley.

The monks who participated in the assessment of the assistant pharmacist were of varying quality, and there were countless unqualified people. Even Qingyang had such a difficult time passing, let alone other monks. The elimination rate was as high as half, and less than 100 people passed. It can be seen that many people were just trying their luck.

After this round, there were only 40 or 50 people left. In addition to those who were eliminated in the pharmacist assistant assessment, many people who did not intend to try the alchemist's guest assessment also left. Qingyang and Ge Dagen wanted to try again, so the four of them did not leave.

The assessment of the alchemist's guest began soon. Ge Dagen was still ahead of Qingyang. As for the content of the assessment, it was still the randomly selected foundation-building level dark pill refining. Foundation-building level pills are extremely difficult to refine, and the requirements are also relatively harsh. It is quite different from the previous two assessments, so Ghost Valley has specially prepared some simple alchemy rooms for participants to use.

Ge Dagen entered the alchemy room early, but there was no news after entering. Seeing that more than a day had passed, the other cultivators in the same group as him had left the alchemy room, but Ge Dagen had not come out yet. Could it be that he was also stumped by this level?

Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but back off. If Ge Dagen, who had been preparing for many years, couldn't do it, then he might not be able to do it at the last minute. It seemed that he was still a little greedy. How could a new method of alchemy be mastered so easily? He should calm down and study the art of the dark pill for a while before trying it.

Qingyang was still hesitating whether to continue to participate in the assessment of the alchemist's disciples. At this time, two cultivators came from a distance towards the side hall. Qingyang had a high level of cultivation and saw the appearance of the people coming at a glance. The leader was a young woman at the third level of the golden pill. The woman was tall, but her skin color was slightly dark, but it was very evenly dark. If you look closely, you will find that the woman's appearance is absolutely beautiful, but it is affected by her skin color, and her appearance is slightly discounted.

Behind the woman was an old Taoist priest with a pointed face and a goatee, looking a little funny. The same Taoist robe would make others look like immortals, but it looked like a rat.

This old Taoist priest only had the first level of Jindan cultivation, but Qingyang found him very familiar. It took him a long time to remember that he had seen him in Yinfeng Jihuo Cave. Wasn't this the ghost bead who attacked him with Ghost Cloud Immortal? At that time, he relied on the one-horned ghost king to scare them away. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, this ghost bead also broke through to the Jindan realm.

In fact, before coming to the Ghost Valley, Qingyang had considered whether he would meet Ghost Cloud Immortal and others, but thinking about the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Ghost Valley, how could he be so unlucky to meet his enemies? Who knew that it was such a coincidence that he met Ghost Bead just after entering the Ghost Valley.

Thinking of what happened in the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave before, if Master Guiyun knew that he had come to the Ghost Valley, he would definitely not let him go easily. However, in order to find a way to save Yu Mengmiao, he could not leave easily. So Qingyang quietly stepped back to avoid being recognized by the other party.
