Chapter 156: Assessment of the Pill Refinement Environment; 10,000 Meters in the Air

“I feel that with your alchemy skills, it is very likely that you will pass the test.”
“Could it be that the assessment information I bought was fake?” He Qingge was indeed puzzled.
“Fellow Daoist, you don’t know!” The husband and wife smiled bitterly.
“The information you bought is indeed real. If you buy it completely, it should still be useful.”
“The rules of the assessment and the medicinal pills for the assessment are indeed recorded on it.”
“The problem is that when the time comes for the pill refinement examination, the medicinal cauldron you control is not your own medicinal cauldron. It’s just an ordinary mortal cauldron.”
“The important thing is that everyone has to sit ten thousand meters in the air during the assessment. What they sit on is a straight long needle.”
“I need to constantly use my magic power to protect my body and isolate myself from the long needles below me. At a height of 10,000 meters, there will be obvious changes in the temperature of my spiritual fire.”
“The difficulty of refining pills has increased by leaps and bounds.”
“Once you reach the later stages of the pill refinement, you will feel that your magic power is somewhat insufficient. At this time, you will have some worries in your heart. If you consume too much magic power in the end of the pill refinement, will the steel needles under you pierce through your body?”
Even if a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator was pierced through by such a long needle from ten thousand meters in the air, he would definitely die.
” Therefore, if you want to pass the test, you must have sufficient confidence in the density of the magic power in your body. You must also be able to withstand the test of all kinds of cold environments at an altitude of 10,000 meters and control the pill fire flexibly.”
” There’s one more thing. It’s inevitable to make mistakes in this kind of situation.”
” Unless you’re really a genius among geniuses, it’s really too difficult to pass the Grand Evolution Alchemy Sect’s disciple assessment.”
“If you feel that you can’t hold on any longer, you can come down on your own and consider it a failure.”
“Every year, there are also people who risk their lives, but many people misspell and die.”
He Qingge fell silent.
This assessment requirement was indeed a little perverse.
He Qingge was still very confident in the depth of his mana.
The Dharmic powers in the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm far exceeded that of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After all, the Great Dao Green Lotus Dao Foundation.
However, he had never refined pills at an altitude of 10,000 meters before. He did not Imow what kind of situation it would be.
How big would the environmental impact be?
It seemed that he had made the right decision to participate in the Dao discussion this time.
“Fellow Daoists, do you have confidence in participating in this assessment?”
“Confidence? We’re just trying. It’s best if we can pass, but there’s no harm if we can’t. We’ll just treat it as making friends with like-minded Dao friends.”
“Moreover, the main reason why I came here is to obtain the resources of the
Grand Evolution Pill Sect.’
“After passing so many tests, the few of us can really be considered to have gotten to know each other. Now, it’s quite good.”
He Qingge nodded his head. The entrance ticket of 10,000 second-grade spirit stones was not considered expensive to these old wanderers who were second-grade alchemists.
The social environment and social attributes were more important.
Making friends with fellow daoists, forming their own circle, and obtaining greater profits.
The Grand Evolution Alchemy Sect’s auction and Treasure Pavilion were rather precious to these itinerant cultivators.
It also gave them a place to spend money freely.
The auction houses and chambers of commerce outside were more monotonous and unsafe.
“Fellow Daoist, you can try your alchemy skills. During this period of time, you can experience the influence of the alchemy environment on alchemy.”
“If you can adapt to this influence, the possibility of Fellow Daoist joining the Great Evolution Pill Sect is much greater than us old men.”
“Why don’t we leave a contact number? We can continue to exchange any experiences in the future and share any opportunities with each other.”
“It’s extreme, it’s extreme…”
He Qingge nodded and exchanged their communication methods.
Regardless of whether they would be in contact in the future, at least for now, they had to maintain a good attitude.
This was to prevent these people from disguising him in the dark after they became enemies.
Moreover, the overall communication was still quite friendly. It might be useful in the future.
After the Dao discussion, He Qingge began to try. He flew ten thousand meters high on his sword and then used the Mortal Cauldron to refine pills.
Soon, the first batch of pills failed.
How could the Mortal Cauldron withstand He Qingge’s Pill Fire? It melted immediately, and the medicinal herbs were wasted.
Moreover, the air at this altitude was rather thin. From time to time, a cold wind would blow, which had a great impact on the temperature of the pill refinement.
Damn it, if he could pass it in one go, probably only the reincarnation of an Alchemy Saint!
He Qingge could confidently say that there was no one stronger than him among the second-grade alchemists.
Even he couldn’t succeed in one go, let alone the others.
The most important thing was to ensure the temperature of the cauldron without damaging it.
He also had to prevent the temperature of ten thousand meters in the air from affecting him, as well as the interference of all kinds of cold winds.
This was a test method that a genius could come up with.
Fortunately, it was a pill fire, unlike ordinary fire that would be greatly affected by the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
As he pondered, he began to improve his technique.
Fortunately, there was more than one chance for such an assessment.
He would be given three sets of medicinal herbs as long as he could successfully refine a bottle of medicinal pills.
Perhaps they knew that this kind of assessment was too much. If there was only one chance, no one would be able to make it to the third stage on their first try.
After all, he wanted to select talented disciples, not to drive everyone out.
If he wanted to prevent the pill furnace from melting, he had to control his pill fire and temperature well.
The temperature ot the pill tire could be controlled by the master, allowing him to deviate in one direction.
Soon, He Qingge’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t this one of the methods to refine pills without a cauldron?
It was much more difficult to refine pills without a cauldron than with one.
First of all, most of the pill cauldrons were magic tools, which had extremely high bonuses for pill refinement.
Just like how the pill cauldron at the auction had been bought at such a high price.
In the second experiment, He Qingge directly injected the pill fire into the cauldron, allowing the pill fire to come into direct contact with the cauldron, directly refining and absorbing the herbs wrapped in the flame.
Without the obstruction of the pill cauldron, the pill fire’s ability to invade the medicinal herbs was stronger, and it was also easier for the essence of the medicinal herbs to be lost.
He Qingge’s eyes sparkled with the Wisdom Divine Wheel. The center of the Divine Wheel was burning with golden flames.
His mind and spirit were in an extremely empty state, and his thoughts were quite active.
Very quickly, he found the trick to refining pills like this. Although the second time he refined pills, he wanted to refine a top-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill, and what came out was a middle-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill, but he succeeded.
He Qingge heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his comprehension was amazing.
After that, he continued to try to refine all kinds of pills to increase his proficiency in refining pills without a cauldron at a height of 10,000 meters..
