However, the Overlord Body Pill was no longer very effective for Zhang Hao. Therefore, he planned to buy some more Dan recipes in the System store.
The clothes looted from these people were exchanged for over 3000 points in the System store. It seemed the clothes on these Martial Warriors were quite luxurious. Zhang Hao was even considering whether he should loot the opponent's underwear next time he robbed someone. Apart from the clothing and some weapons and Dan that Dou Bi and Ying Da could use, Zhang Hao sold everything else to the System store. Adding the points he had left from before, Zhang Hao now had a total of 9521 points.
Therefore, Zhang Hao spent 3000 points to exchange for a Strong Bone Pill Dan recipe within the System.
A Strong Bone Pill Dan recipe actually required 3000 points, which still made Zhang Hao feel extremely pained. However, in order to improve his Physical Body's cultivation, Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and bought it.
Just as Zhang Hao entered the Medicine Mountain.
Xiao Lang, Cai Jinhua, and Li Dechuan's waiting subordinates returned. However, when they saw the subordinates' attire, they were all stunned.
When they had left, each one was properly dressed and radiant. Why did they return wearing only underwear? Was this fashion popular now?
After the three learned the cause and effect, they were all enraged. They sent out all their subordinates, frantically preparing to hunt down the three.
However, at this moment, Zhang Hao and the others had all entered the Medicine Mountain. This Medicine Mountain was a place that Xiao Lang, Li Dechuan, and Cai Jinhua had explicitly forbidden anyone from entering.
Because on this Medicine Mountain, there were Fourth-Order Ferocious Beasts. The combat power of a Fourth-Order Ferocious Beast could rival a Great Martial Master Fifth Heaven. Ordinary Martial Warriors wouldn't even know how they died if they went up there.
Although the Martial Warriors from the three families were frantically searching for the whereabouts of Zhang Hao and his companions nearby, Zhang Hao and the others seemed to have vanished without a trace.
After searching everywhere without success, the Martial Warriors from the three families began to attack each other, plundering each other's point tokens. After all, the only way to get a good ranking during the assessment was to plunder the opponent's points.
At this moment, the points ranking outside the assessment area was also constantly changing. The points here were changing almost every moment. However, the positions at the top of the points ranking changed less frequently.
Ranked first was Nangong Jin, with 21020000 points. This was almost plundering all the points in the assessment area, truly brutal!
Ranked second was a woman, Yan Siqing, with 20080000 points.
Xiao Jue was third, with 19007000 points.
Cai Fengchen was fourth, with 18900000 points.
Wang Zekai was fifth, with 18005000 points.
Wan Potian was sixth, with 17890000 points.
Shi Yidao was seventh, with 16000000 points.
Bai Ke was eighth, with 15870000 points.
Tao Xiangdong was ninth, with 15780000 points.
Wei Dejun was tenth, with 15690000 points.
...
Elder Wei was also very concerned about this ranking list. He also wanted to see how far that young man he cared about could go. What puzzled him greatly was that the young man was surprisingly inconspicuous on the list. Although Elder Wei also knew that there were many geniuses participating in this assessment, in his opinion, even if this young man didn't get first place, entering the top ten shouldn't be a big problem. Unexpectedly, he directly fell outside the top hundred. Although this result was enough for him to advance, it was absolutely impossible for him to win first place in the assessment as he had claimed.
However, Elder Wei was also a bit confused. That young man had previously sworn to him that he would win first place in the assessment, so why was he so dejected at this moment? This didn't seem like the young man's character!
Remembering the young man's bold words about definitely winning first place, Elder Wei couldn't help but laugh. He wondered if he should tease the young man properly after the assessment ended.
However, Elder Wei still felt in his heart that this young man was not someone who would give up so easily. There was still a long time until the end of the first assessment, and perhaps that young man might surprise him again.
At this moment, Zhang Hao, Ying Da, and Dou Bi had all entered the depths of the Tenth Mountain.
"Tsk tsk, there are indeed medicinal herbs everywhere!"
"Fourth-Order medicinal herb, Immortal Fruit..."
"Fifth-Order medicinal herb, Nine-Child Flower Vine..."
"Sun Connecting Heart Grass... this is Fifth-Order..."
Zhang Hao clicked his tongue in wonder. This place was simply an Alchemist's paradise! Zhang Hao felt a little excited.
Coming to this place was really the right choice! Here, he could definitely refine the Strong Bone Pill. The Strong Bone Pill's grade was even stronger than the Overlord Body Pill's. It was a Fourth-Order Dan. However, Zhang Hao was currently a Third-Order Alchemist, and to refine the Strong Bone Pill, he had to upgrade his Alchemy level to a Fourth-Order Alchemist.
"Hmm, then I'll refine some low-grade Dan, like Gold Wound Medicine!" Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
Zhang Hao still used the old method.
Seeing Zhang Hao suddenly take out an Alchemy Furnace, Ying Da and Dou Bi were both a little puzzled, not knowing what Zhang Hao was up to.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"I'm preparing for Alchemy!" Zhang Hao didn't hide it.
"Boss, you're an Alchemist too?"
Dou Bi looked at Zhang Hao in surprise. This was even more shocking than knowing Zhang Hao was a Great Martial Master. It was no wonder; although Great Martial Masters were rare, they were not uncommon in the assessment area. However, Alchemists were a very rare profession. Often, the number of Alchemists in a small country could be counted on one's fingers, and their status was very noble. Even in the Hualong Empire, a superpower in the Northern Region, the number of Alchemists did not exceed three digits, and most of them were enshrined in the Imperial Palace.
Zhang Hao said lightly, "Heh heh, refining some low-grade Dan is still no problem."
"Boss, what kind of Dan are you going to refine?" Ying Da asked curiously.
"Gold Wound Medicine!" Zhang Hao said lightly.
"Oh, so Boss is a First-Order Alchemist!"
Dou Bi could barely accept it.
Dou Bi watched as Zhang Hao messily threw the medicinal herbs into the Dan Cauldron. He was instantly dumbfounded. Although he wasn't an Alchemist, he had seen Alchemists perform Alchemy. It was simply graceful and mysterious, with Dan Fire, Incantations, and countless profound Alchemy techniques. But this was the first time he had seen someone just grab things and throw them in like Zhang Hao.
"Boss, are you sure you're performing Alchemy and not cooking?" Dou Bi asked weakly.
Zhang Hao smiled calmly and said, "You'll know soon enough."
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao on successfully refining Gold Wound Medicine. Proficiency +1."
When he saw Zhang Hao take out a bottle of successfully refined Gold Wound Medicine from the Dan Cauldron, Dou Bi was completely dumbfounded. This was simply world-shattering!
Dou Bi still didn't quite believe it, thinking Zhang Hao was fooling him and that the bottle of Gold Wound Medicine had been put in beforehand.
But when Dou Bi saw Zhang Hao take out Gold Wound Medicine from the Dan Cauldron for the hundredth time, his worldview completely collapsed.
"Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"
Zhang Hao continued to refine Gold Wound Medicine without stopping, his proficiency increasing rapidly.
Five hours later.
"Ding dong! Congratulations Player Zhang Hao on upgrading your Alchemist level. Current level: Fourth-Order Alchemist!" A mechanical System notification sound rang out.
