Chapter 1807 Assessment and Selection of Alchemists
The second and third furnaces of the Holy Pills of Merit were refined by Wu Yan in the same way.
The success rate of the three furnaces of the Holy Pills of Merit was 100%, and the grades of the Holy Pills were all five-turn, no more and no less. This shocked the Dan Zun at Wu Yan's success rate and made them sigh.
"The cultivation level of the alchemist is also very important. After all, he is only in the late stage of the Holy King. He can refine the Holy Pill to the fifth turn, which is probably the limit. If he has the cultivation level of the Immortal Venerable, he should be able to refine more than six-turn Holy Pills based on the 100% success rate with the Nine-turn Alchemy Technique, right?"
How could they know that Wu Yan could actually refine eight-turn or even nine-turn Holy Pills a long time ago. They didn't think about how much horrible precision control it would take for someone to accurately control each furnace of Holy Pills to the level of nine five-turn pills.
The next time, the alchemists who want to become Wu Yan's disciples and learn the method of refining the Merit Pill will go on stage to make pills and accept Wu Yan's selection test.
The rules are actually very simple. All the alchemists who want to become Master Gu Tian's disciples only need to draw numbers, go up to the four high platforms, and use their most proud alchemy techniques to refine the Merit Pill.
As for the selection criteria, it is even simpler. There are 25 alchemists on the high platform. This time, the Tianji Tower invited them not only to watch Wu Yan's alchemy.
The preliminary selection will be judged by them, and they will score each alchemist who goes on stage to participate in the alchemy. According to the scores, the strongest group of alchemists will be selected, and then Master Gu Tian will select them himself.
In fact, at this time, everyone suddenly realized that the existence behind the Tianji Tower had already planned with Master Gu Tian. After watching Master Gu Tian's alchemy, those Dan Emperors and Dan Saints in the audience are likely to participate in alchemy.
When Master Gu Tian was explaining the rules, he mentioned that any alchemist who wanted to learn how to make merit pills from him did not need to leave his original sect.
This alone was enough to make 99% of people willing to give it a try.
On the high platform, Wu Yan had just put away the Nine Dragons Holy Cauldron, and then Yiling Sanliu, transformed by Mo Tianji, announced to everyone that they would start queuing up to make pills on the stage.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of questions came from the crowd. These questions were directed at Wu Yan.
"Master Gu Tian, we have all seen your alchemy skills, and you are indeed qualified to be our teacher. However, when you were refining the merit pill and the holy pill, you used the Hongmeng Holy Alchemy Furnace. We don't even have a Hongmeng Holy Alchemy Furnace, let alone a normal Holy Alchemy Furnace. How can we refine the merit pill and the holy pill?"
Hearing such questions, Fu Qingyang sneered secretly. He knew that Master Gu Tian would not answer this question openly, because he felt that this should be one of the tests.
Sure enough, Master Gu Tian, who was standing on the high platform, only said one sentence, and all those who raised questions shut up.
"Everyone, the reason why I used this tripod to refine the elixir today is mainly to let all the participants clearly see the entire process of refining the merit elixir. As for refining the elixir at ordinary times, I will not use this tripod. I believe that with your talents, you should be able to solve these problems, right?"
Wu Yan's words actually told everyone in disguise that using the Xuanqi Danlu can also refine the merit elixir. However, I think this Xuanqi Danlu naturally needs to use the Xuanqi Danlu originally refined by the Hongmeng Tiandao.
This is not a problem. These alchemists present were originally alchemists under the Hongmeng Tiandao. Whether it is the practice of the exercises, the avenue of the enlightenment, or the immortal artifacts and Xuanqi, or even the holy artifacts, they are actually treasures with the breath of the Hongmeng Tiandao.
Some people who reacted first had already rushed to the stage and started to draw lots and line up in order.
People like Fu Qingyang who had awakened early had already run to the stage to draw lots when everyone asked questions, and now they had already climbed the high platforms on all four sides.
Soon, the first twelve alchemists were in place. They first bowed and saluted Wu Yan and the twenty-five alchemists on the high platform to express their respect, and then they sacrificed their own alchemy furnaces and performed on the stage.
Seeing Fu Qingyang, who was ranked first, Wu Yan unconsciously smiled.
To be honest, Fu Qingyang's series of performances made him feel very surprised, and at the same time he was quite looking forward to it.
In fact, Wu Yan was just trying to understand the current situation of Jiulong Holy City, and by the way, he wanted to learn about Hongmeng Yaozun's affairs, so as to decide whether to return Jiulong Shengding.
At the beginning, it was agreed that he would hand over Jiulong Shengding to Hongmeng Yaozun. According to what Lu Jiuyuan said before, Hongmeng Yaozun is in Jiulong Holy City, and he is the city lord of Jiulong Holy City.
As long as he finds Jiulong Holy City, meets the city lord of Jiulong Holy City, and hands over this tripod to him, he will have fulfilled his promise to Lu Jiuyuan and the remnant spirit of Jiulong War Saint.
However, judging from the situation shown by Fu Qingyang and other Jiulong disciples, Wu Yan has a very bad premonition. Moreover, judging from the communication between these Danzun around, the city lord of Jiulong Holy City is no longer Hongmeng Yaozun, but Jiulong Danzun.
This means that Hongmeng Yaozun is probably no longer in the world of bitter sea. Jiulong Holy Tripod naturally cannot be returned rashly.
"Let's start."
Wu Yan nodded encouragingly to the first batch of twelve alchemists who came on stage.
The twelve people were very excited, and they used all their skills to start refining. For them, this was a rare opportunity.
As for the materials of the merit immortal medicine, there was no shortage of them. Before this, Situ Bofeng had already made great efforts to mobilize a large number of merit immortal medicines and some merit holy medicines from various places in Yuantong Saint Mansion, waiting to use them to refine more merit immortal pills and holy pills at this alchemy event to improve their merit value.
The lowest level of these twelve alchemists was the eighth or ninth grade Dan Emperor, the Great Saint Immortal Emperor. If it was just refining ordinary immortal medicine, it would not be difficult for them at all.
Now that they have observed the method of Master Gu Tian to refine the merit immortal medicine, it will be no problem to use it at this time.
Then, the twelve alchemists on the twelve platforms continued to perform the skilled alchemy formulas. With the help of the alchemy fire of Tianji Courtyard, which changed as they wished, the materials in the twelve alchemy furnaces were soon refined into liquid medicine.
The twenty-five alchemy masters were divided into two groups, taking turns to observe the twelve alchemists on all sides making medicines, while the free Sun Yaowang was responsible for monitoring the whole scene.
In this way, the twelve alchemists quickly completed their works.
However, the alchemy results of the first batch of twelve alchemists were not satisfactory. Only two people successfully refined the merit immortal pill, but the success rate was not high, one was 30%, and the other was 40%.
The remaining ten alchemists, the pills they refined were all waste pills. They did not refine and separate the corresponding power of the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao Law from the liquid medicine. Even if they finally refined the pill, it was already a waste pill.
Fu Qingyang was the one who achieved a success rate of 40%. However, there was no joy or pride on his face. He was an eighth-grade Dan Sheng, and he could usually refine even the sixth or seventh-turn holy pills, let alone the immortal pills.
However, this time, he only achieved such a result in refining the immortal pill, which was really nothing to be happy about.
"Congratulations to the two of you for successfully refining the Merit Immortal Pill. Please come and sit over here."
Since Sun Yaowang was invited by the Tianji Tower Master to be the referee and supervisor of the first round, he naturally took on his responsibilities and pointed to the vacated space on the other side, asking the two alchemists who successfully refined the Merit Immortal Pill to sit over there.
To everyone's surprise, after the first batch of scores came out, a Dan Sheng who did not refine the Merit Immortal Pill but performed very well was also selected and entered the ranks of the promoted.
With the established rules, those enthusiastic Dan Emperors and Dan Shengs took the stage to refine pills one after another, and the scene was so hot and exciting that it attracted people's attention.
However, there were too many people who wanted to participate, and there were only twelve alchemy platforms in the entire venue, so the progress was inevitably a bit slow.
Fortunately, such a problem was not a problem for the Tianji Tower at all.
The tower owner Yiling Sanliu actually used the Tianji secret method in front of all the participants to expand the area of the Tianji Courtyard by one third, making the central alchemy platform area expand by several times out of thin air, and the alchemy platforms doubled again, reaching as many as twenty-four.
This method made everyone marvel at it, and also secretly awe-inspiring. Anyone can see that this Tianji Courtyard is not a small world, but a special mechanical space. It is really incredible that the world inside the space can be designed so precisely and richly.
With the doubling of the alchemy platforms, and the alchemists who came on stage later, they have the experience summarized from the success and failure of the previous alchemists, and they are more and more fully prepared, the success rate is getting higher and higher, and the efficiency is also greatly improved.
Two days passed by unknowingly, and the last group of alchemists finally succeeded in refining the pills. The atmosphere in the Tianji Courtyard was shocked.
Two days would naturally seem boring and long for mortals, but for immortals, it was just a very short time.
Sun Yaowang immediately began to count, and finally ruled that 613 Dan Shengs and 37 Dan Emperors passed the first round of tests.
This ratio did not exceed people's expectations. Although the number of Dan Emperors and Dan Saints who participated in alchemy was similar, Dan Emperors were one level lower than Dan Saints after all, and their understanding of the way of alchemy was naturally not comparable to that of Dan Saints.
However, it was a remarkable achievement that more than 30 Dan Emperors broke through the siege and successfully refined the Merit Immortal Pill.
These 650 alchemists were all gathered under the high platform at this time, ready to accept the second round of assessment and selection by Master Gu Tian. Those who succeeded could become Master Gu Tian's disciples.
