Chapter 607

Does the appearance of these traces mean that this era will also usher in the end, and is the great catastrophe of this era coming?

This is definitely not good news, because this is the worst of all the situations he has predicted.

Once it is really a great catastrophe that can destroy an era, it means that everyone in this era cannot stay out of it. They can't escape even if they want to.

"Brother Wenren, you worry too much! This kind of thing is not our turn to worry about. There are countless powerful people in the world, and strong people are emerging. When the sky falls, it will hit the tall people first. Even if we worry, it will be useless!"

"Brother Xu is still open-minded. What you said makes sense. Let's do our own things first!" Wenren Zhou also laughed.

The two quickly came to the test site. This is an extremely large square. Xu Dao had seen it when he was strolling in Wanyao Villa before, but the square that was originally empty was now filled with alchemy furnaces.

And Xu Dao finally saw all the contestants at this time. These contestants came from all over the world, and some even came from outside Xijing Road.

The auras also vary in strength, but these people have one thing in common, that is, their spirituality is extremely strong.

Alchemists have extremely high requirements for the strength of the soul, and the talent in the soul almost determines the upper limit of an alchemist's achievement.

However, the strength of the soul can be improved through practice. Among them, the Qi Refiners have the greatest advantage in this regard. As long as they practice and achieve something, their soul will not be too weak.

The warriors are at a disadvantage. Even if their realm is improved, the strength of the soul will not increase too much. Xu Dao glanced over at this time and did not find a few warriors.

In fact, in the final analysis, everyone knows that if you want to achieve something in alchemy, you are destined not to go far by relying solely on the martial arts.

"Today's assessment is to refine a third-grade solidifying pill. This pill can be used to stabilize the soul injury and prevent it from getting worse in a short period of time."

"This pill recipe comes from the Wanyao Cave Heaven. It has never been announced to the public before. You don't have to worry about someone knowing it in advance. The medicinal materials for refining this pill are ready. Each person has three copies, and the general refining process will be told to you. As long as you can refine a solidifying pill within three times, you will be qualified! There is no requirement for quality!"

The person who spoke was an old man. His eyes swept over the crowd, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his serious face. "I think many people may know me. Yes, I am Zhou Lexian, and I am also the examiner of this assessment! You don't have to be nervous. The assessment is not difficult. After all, they are all geniuses of alchemy from all over the world."

Xu Dao looked confused. Who is Zhou Lexian? I don't know him and I haven't heard of him! But judging from the reactions of these contestants, he seems to be a powerful person.

Speaking of which, although he has a talent in the alchemy path, he doesn't care about many things in this path. If he guessed correctly, this person should be a very powerful alchemy senior.

Even his master Ge Yongyan said little to him. It's not that Ge Lao didn't want to say it, but Xu Dao didn't want to listen.

In Xu Dao's view, in the alchemy path, he only needs to learn to refine pills. Anyway, his main goal of learning to refine pills is to make money and use it for himself.

Now that gold and silver are not lacking, there is only one thing left, refining pills for personal use. He has never thought about really relying on the alchemy path to gain any status and honor.

As for official positions, he might have cared about it before, but now he doesn't take it seriously. The main reason is that the various things that happened during this period forced him to make the worst plan. Under such circumstances, any official position becomes insignificant.

"Brother Wenren, who is he?" Wenren Zhou is one of the few people he has seen who has a calm face. And he is not far away from him, so he asked in a low voice.

"Master of Wanyao Pavilion!"

"Oh!" Xu Dao suddenly realized something. He finally understood something. After all this time, he was really a big shot. Master of Wanyao Pavilion, that was really amazing.

However, what did this have to do with him? Xu Dao's face was still calm. Whether this old man was powerful or not didn't seem to have any effect on him.

The real competition was held in Wanyao Cave Heaven, and even the master of Wanyao Pavilion could not interfere. As for Wanyao Pavilion itself, he didn't care much. If he could enter, he would enter. If he couldn't, he would forget it.

Anyway, he didn't plan to specialize in alchemy. Compared with alchemy, strength and realm were the most important, at least for him at present.

As for this assessment, Xu Dao felt that it was not difficult, but it was not without difficulty. The focus of the assessment was not the grade of the pharmacist, but the talent and understanding.

Gushen Pill was only a third-grade pill, and the grade was not high, but the difficulty was that it came from Wanyao Cave Heaven and was known to outsiders for the first time. It could be said to be a brand new pill.

When facing a new type of elixir, only the general process of refining is known, and there are only three attempts. This requires the alchemist to master the medicinal properties of all the medicinal materials and the key to the success or failure of the elixir refining in the first two attempts.

Only in this way can the elixir be successfully refined in the third attempt.

Although the medicinal materials used to refine this elixir are all medicinal materials that Xu Dao knows, knowing them does not mean being familiar with them. Their medicinal properties can only be familiarized during the refining process. Moreover, even if it is the same medicinal material, as long as the order of addition and the time of addition are different, the medicinal properties revealed will be completely different.

"You can start now! As for the time, there is no limit! As long as it can be finished before the official start of the competition!" Zhou Lexian spoke again.

This assessment was much more casual than Xu Dao had imagined. There was no time limit, which meant that even if someone took ten days or half a month to refine it, it would be fine.

However, it was consistent with what he had heard before. This assessment had nothing to do with the competition. The main purpose was to screen out those who were just filling in the gaps.

Xu Dao took a rough look at the refining process of the Gu Shen Dan given by the Wan Yao Pavilion. It was indeed quite rough. There was only the order of the input of the medicinal materials, but when the medicinal materials should be put in was entirely up to the alchemist himself.

This was also one of the difficulties of this assessment, because the alchemist had to determine the time of input of dozens of medicinal materials in the refining process within two opportunities. Even if it was not the exact time, it needed to be roughly determined, otherwise it would definitely fail.

Only when it is roughly determined can the finished pill be refined, but the quality will be extremely low. However, Zhou Lexian said at the beginning that there is no restriction on quality. As long as this pill is indeed a Gushen Pill, it will be fine. As for whether the poison in the pill will be stronger than its original efficacy, that is not something they need to consider.
