Chapter 101: Alchemist Assessment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy.
Since Lu Changsheng had nothing to do, he decided to go out for a walk in the academy.
Whenever he met a student, they would bow and respectfully address him as Senior Lu.
Even though they wouldn’t give him anything, hearing this made him feel very satisfied.
Of course, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t show it on his face. He had to keep a low profile.
Sigh, low-key.
Lu Changsheng’s name had spread far and wide in the academy.
Some people even said that you might not know the Dean in the Hidden Dao
Academy, but you must know Lu Changsheng.
This…
As Lu Changsheng walked through the academy, some disciples passed by.
The disciple greeted respectfully, “Senior Lu.”
At this time, Lu Changsheng would smile and nod.
When he almost reached the Pill Hall’s territory, Lu Changsheng turned around decisively, ready to leave!
Otherwise, he would be dragged by that elder to ask questions again.
However, sometimes, the more you try to hide, the more you can’t hide.
At this moment, the Pill Hall elder happened to walk over.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s body trembled, and he was ready to run!
“Sigh, isn’t this Changsheng?”
When the Pill Hall elder saw Lu Changsheng, he was overjoyed.
Those who didn’t know better would think that there was a problem with the Pill Hall elder’s sexual orientation…
“No, you’ve got the wrong person.”
The Pill Hall elder said helplessly, “Don’t run away first. I happen to have something to discuss with you.”
Seeing that he couldn’t escape, Lu Changsheng turned around and asked, “Tell me, what’s the problem now?”
“No problem this time.”
The Pill Hall elder walked forward and took out a sheepskin scroll with the words “Alchemy Sect” written on it.
“You should know about the Alchemy Sect, right?”
Lu Changsheng scratched his head. “Should 1 know?”
The Pill Hall elder said,”… The Alchemy Sect is the only sect in the continent that is made up of alchemists. It is publicly recognized as the orthodox alchemy sect.”
If the Hidden Sword Sect was the holy land that all sword cultivators yearned for,
then the Alchemy Sect was the treasure land that all alchemists pursued!
“So?”
“Every 10 years, the Alchemy Sect will hold an Alchemy Conference in the central region. Everyone who has reached the level of an alchemy master can participate.”
Alchemists were also divided into Apprentices, Masters, and Grandmasters.
The realms above Apprentices were divided into nine levels.
The Pill Hall Elder was a fourth-grade Alchemy Master.
Lu Changsheng pointed at himself and asked, “You don’t want me to participate in the Alchemy Conference, do you?”
“Let me make it clear first! I’m not going!”
The Pill Hall elder said earnestly, “Changsheng, we know your alchemy skills. If you go, you will definitely be able to get a ranking!”
“Once we get a ranking, it will be a great honor for our Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy!”
“At that time, more people will join our Pill Hall… Oh, no, join our Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy, don’t you think so?”
“The alchemists of the Southern Region have never been ranked in the Alchemy Conference!”
“Of course, with your fame, you can add more geniuses to the Cottage!”
Hearing the last sentence, Lu Changsheng said without hesitation, “Don’t. The Cottage is doing well now. There’s no need to add new people.”
You’re joking, if there were more people in the Cottage, there would definitely be more things to do!
Putting aside the fact that he had to teach them cultivation, at that time, wouldn’t those disciples be busy causing trouble everywhere like Ye Qiubai?
The Pill Hall elder was helpless.
He had no idea how to deal with someone like Lu Changsheng.
However, it was normal.
Now, the Cottage had Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, and Ning Chenxin. Now, there was also Blackie, who had an invincible body.
The four of them could easily crush the paragons of the Southern Region.
A disciple like this was already enough.
Moreover, there were four of them…
The Pill Hall elder continued to tempt him. “How about this? If you go, you don’t have to come to my Pill Hall’s lecture for the time being.”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.
Every ten days, Qin Tiannan would forcefully drag Lu Changsheng to the various halls to preach the Dao.
It gave him a headache.
Now that the elder of the Pill Hall made this offer, Lu Changsheng was a little tempted.
“You can make the decision?”
The Pill Hall elder patted his chest and said, “I’ll talk to the Dean! As long as you participate in the Alchemy Conference!”
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, you said it yourself!”
“I said so.”
“When are you going?”
“Then you have to go to the Alchemy Sect’s base in the Southern Region and obtain the alchemist’s level first.”
“The minimum requirement for participating in the Alchemy Conference is to be an Alchemy Master.”
Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go back to the Cottage first.”
The elder of the Pill Hall stopped Lu Changsheng and said, “What’s the point of returning? It’ll start tomorrow. Go and pass the Alchemist Level now, or we won’t have enough time.”
Then, without waiting for Lu Changsheng’s objection, he dragged him out of the Hidden Dao Academy!
The Alchemy Sect had a testing station for alchemists in the four regions.
At this moment, the elder of the Pill Hall arrived with Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was speechless.
There was already an old man waiting at the door.
“Hu Qing, your alchemy has improved again? You want to participate in the assessment of a fifth-grade Alchemy Master?”
Hu Qing held Lu Changsheng’s hand and said with a smile, “It’s not me, it’s him. Lu Changsheng is the hall master of our Hidden Dao Academy.”
‘Oh?’
Lu Changsheng’s name had already spread throughout the Southern Region.
It was said that even though there were only three disciples in the Cottage, all of them were geniuses!
The outside world did not know of Blackie’s existence yet.
“I know about Hall Master Lu, but…”
Obviously, the old man doubted Lu Changsheng’s alchemy skills.
Hu Qing smiled. “You don’t have to worry about that. This kid’s alchemy skills are above mine.”
‘Oh?’
The old man was surprised.
In the Southern Region, Hu Qing’s alchemy skills were ranked at the top.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to become an elder of the Alchemy Hall.
“Then I’d like to see Hall Master Lu’s strength. Come in first.”
The assessment method for alchemists was very simple.
If he was an Apprentice,
That was to test one’s understanding of heavenly treasures. At the same time, one just needed to refine the Yellow-Tier medicinal pill.
However, an Alchemy Master had to refine Mystic-Tier pills.
Grandmasters had to refine Earth-Tier medicinal pills!
As for their ranks…
It was determined by the success rate and the amount of impurities contained in the pill.
For example, Hu Qing was now a fourth-grade Alchemy Master.
He had to refine an Intermediate Grade Mystic-Tier medicinal pill within three times!
At the same time, the impurities inside could not exceed 50%.
The three of them arrived at an alchemy room in the hall.
The old man pointed at the alchemy furnace in the middle and said, “Hall
Master Lu, you can refine pills here.”
“As for what pill to refine, there are three choices here.”
With that, he opened his hand and three sheepskin scrolls floated out.
On the three sheepskin scrolls were three types of medicinal pills!
