I just want to be a quiet man

"Alchemy masters of the same fifth rank, there is a difference between superior and inferior. This Wang Gao is my alchemist in Meiyang County. When he was in the county examination, he made ten batches of top-grade alchemy in less than an hour. Can a high-grade alchemist compare?"

"Wang Gao is your alchemist in Meiyang County? How did I hear that he was born as an overseas casual cultivator?"

Seeing that there was a lot of noise, Pei Ling didn't care if these people understood anything or not, and said loudly, "This is my Wang Gao's idea of ​​making up for the residual formula. I just demonstrated it to everyone. Today, in order to make up for the residual formula Fang, I am also exhausting my mind and exhausted physically and mentally! I urgently need to rest now, and I will submit the exam questions later... I also ask everyone to leave, and I wish you all to complete the exam questions as soon as possible, and we will meet again in "Xiaozizaitian"!"

As he said that, he cupped his hands and went back to the small courtyard. Then, with a thought, he changed the words on the sign outside the door to: Resting, don't disturb.

Chapter 2: Next time I will give advice to Wang Gao.

In a water pavilion connected by a long bridge with nine bends to the shore, there are carved railings and painted buildings floating in the air, and the door of the alchemy room facing the railing is closed tightly, and the faint light of the formation flashes from time to time.

In the alchemy room, His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince Zhong Kuixi sat in front of a snow-white alchemy furnace with a serious expression, pinched the method with both hands, stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him without blinking, and felt the changes of the alchemy liquid in it with all his strength.

After a while, the pill furnace began to vibrate violently...

Zhong Kuixi hurriedly made a few spells, and quickly grabbed some medicinal materials nearby and added them in. Immediately afterwards, he also activated a few formations that came with the pill furnace...

However, all known methods were tried, and in the end...

boom!

The lid of the white alchemy furnace rushed up to the ceiling with a loud bang, black smoke rose from the furnace, and the peculiar smell quickly permeated the entire alchemy room.

Zhong Kuixi frowned slightly, stood up and looked into the furnace, and saw that the bottom of the furnace was scorched black, and the elixir he had worked so hard to prepare had already been completely useless.

"The main ingredients of the missing four flavors, the first flavor should be healing and comforting."

"Looking at the world, there are countless such medicinal materials."

"But according to the statistics of Baiyaozhuang, there are only twelve kinds."

"I have tried seven of them now, and I can try five more times at most, and I should be able to judge the main material that the first flavor lacks."

"Besides, according to a lot of thoughts I have checked in the alchemy furnace, there are two missing steps in the alchemy formula. The first step is probably the refining of medicinal materials."

"The Alchemy Ceremony is aimed at alchemists who are within a hundred years old, and quite a few of them are casual cultivators."

"Therefore, this refining method must be mastered within the period of alchemy formation, or even foundation establishment."

"That has narrowed the range down considerably."

"Moreover, this refining method must have been recorded in the alchemy furnace classics."

"Otherwise, don't those casual alchemists have no hope of passing the test at all?"

"Sacrificing will not cause such issues that hinder justice."

"According to the sound transmission just now by Junior Brother Xun and Dean Nangong, they have read in Danlou so far, and there are less than ten kinds of refining methods that meet the requirements..."

In the end, Kuixi quickly made a summary in his mind.

In fact, this imperial examination, said to be an assessment, is actually an opportunity for the selected alchemists.

You can enjoy the opportunity to browse through the alchemy classics reproduced by the Royal Library!

Especially for those alchemists who came from casual cultivators, they were able to reach this step, in fact, they were often better than imperial alchemists in terms of talent and character.The biggest shortcoming of these alchemists is that their inheritance is often not perfect, especially the lack of a comprehensive and systematic understanding of alchemy from a far-sighted perspective.

However, the existence of Danlou in Xincui Hall undoubtedly provided them with an opportunity to make up for it.

It can be said that even if a considerable number of participants in the palace examination fail to pass this examination, it is worthwhile to spend ten days and ten nights in the alchemy building looking at classics.

Although it is impossible for Danlou to reproduce the entire Zangshu Pavilion, the various problems, experience, skills, and methods of alchemy... have far exceeded the grasp of all the contestants this time. This is an inestimable intangible wealth!

At the moment when his thoughts were spinning, Kuixi finally made a formula to clean up the burnt ashes in the alchemy furnace, and then continued to refine the next furnace.

soon……

boom! ! !

This time, he was not given any chance to rescue him, the furnace cover flew up high, and was deeply embedded in the bricks above his head!

And the whole pill furnace also made a loud noise, and the pill liquid scattered in a splash shape.

The magic robe was windless and automatic, blocking the liquid pill that was splashed on the face, and finally Kui Xi was unscathed, but his brows frowned even tighter.

He made a mistake this time.

Even before refining enough to add the missing medicinal materials, fry the furnace in advance!

Finally, Kuixi took a deep breath and said to herself: "It really takes a lot of energy to make up for the remnants... I have turned on the furnace eight times in a row, even if I have taken the refreshing pill, my current concentration can no longer be restrained." decline."

"I can't continue practicing."

"Go out for a walk and adjust your state."

So, he tidied up the alchemy room, put away the remnants of animal skins, medicinal materials, pill furnace, etc., tidied up his robes, and walked out of the alchemy room.

The water pavilion where he lives is similar to the environment of other alchemists, with lush branches and leaves, lush flowers and plants, and birds with colorful feathers flying by from time to time, chirping and chirping, making it more quiet.

In the end, Kuixi leaned on the railing with his hands behind his back, facing a pool of water and stood still for a moment, feeling the comfort of the soft wind blowing against his face. After a while, the depression in his heart gradually disappeared, and he thought to himself: should I go to see Junior Brother Xun and Dean Nangong to discuss it carefully?Or go to Wang Gao's place and find out the level of this casual alchemist?

Yes, before he heard Xun Wuyang and Nangong Su mention Wang Gao, the first in the county test, ten times in a row, the best of the best, it can be called amazing talent!

Originally thought that Fang Fang's alchemy attainment must be from a strategic location and ingenuity.

Who knew that when they were discussing the issue of remnants just now, the other party was completely ignorant and couldn't even answer a few words. It was Zhong Kuixi who was chatting with Xun Wuyang and Nangongsu!

If he hadn't known that the examination of the county examination was very strict, and that Tu He, the chief examiner of Meiyang County, was fascinated by alchemy and attached great importance to the alchemy ceremony, he would never have made a deliberate act of letting go.In the end, Kuixi would suspect that Wang Gao's ability to enter the palace examination was due to malpractice and malpractice in the alchemy ceremony.

All in all, as far as the meeting just now, this Wang Gao's level of alchemy is mediocre no matter how you look at it.

It's just that, considering that the other party was born as a casual cultivator abroad, the inheritance of alchemy obtained is probably incomplete.Even if one has talent, it is very easy to practice alchemy in practice. However, to make up for the remnants, one needs to have a very solid basic skill in alchemy, extensive knowledge, and a deep understanding of alchemy.

Only in this way can we select the correct medicinal materials, techniques, and steps from the vast medicinal materials and the many rules of Shengke, and piece together the correct prescription!

If you think about it this way, it is reasonable for Wang Gao to be helpless against Remnant Fang.

Therefore, after seeing that Wang Gao was clumsy in this way, Zhong Kuixi didn't tell the truth on the spot, and even had a very polite attitude towards him.

After thinking about it for a while, Kuixi finally decided not to waste time with Wang Gao.

First go to Xun Wuyang to discuss with Nangongsu, and after they have made up their respective remnants, if there is still time and Wang Gao has made no progress, it is due to the imperial court's emphasis on five-rank loose cultivation alchemists, You can go and give some pointers.

So, finally Kuixi got up and walked out of the water pavilion, and walked towards Xun Wuyang's residence.

Passing by a garden on the road, a few alchemists were walking towards them, talking in low voices as they walked.

Chapter 2: How is it possible?

"I didn't expect that Wang Gao from Meiyang City is so powerful!"

"I think this time's alchemy ceremony, the leader must be this person..."

"Xun Wuyang, Nangong Su, Guan Jiu, Xu Chen, An Wubin... and the rumored Nineteenth Highness...Although these people are all five-rank alchemists, I am afraid that even if they are all added up, this alchemy will not be enough. His accomplishments are not as high as Wang Gao!"

"Don't talk about them, it's only been less than a day, they have made up the residual formula, and even made the best in public. I have never heard of such a talent in the previous alchemy ceremonies!"

The faces of several alchemists did not fade away, they were walking and chatting.

Suddenly seeing a figure not far away, he quickly silenced, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness Nineteenth!"

Zhong Kuixi looked at them suspiciously, Wang Gao has already made up the remnants?

how can that be!

When his thoughts turned, he raised his hand to help him, and said gently: "I am an alchemist participating in the palace test just like you now, so there is no need to be polite."

"Yes, Your Highness the Nineteenth." Even so, these alchemists did not dare to make mistakes. After agreeing, they still stood respectfully and stood upright.

Seeing this, Zhong Kuixi frowned slightly, but now she didn't care about such trivial matters, and immediately asked: "You just said that Wang Gao has already made up the remaining prescription?"

Seeing His Highness the Nineteenth Prince asking about Wang Gao, several alchemists cheered up immediately, and one of them quickly said seriously: "That's right! Just now, Wang Gao publicly refined a pot of elixir that no one has ever heard of or seen before. After listening to his explanation, we realized that his test question was the remnant of the five-element barrier-breaking pill, and what he refined was the complete five-element barrier-breaking pill!"

"More than that! Your Highness was not there at the time, and did not see that Wang Gao refined fifteen pills in that furnace, and each pill was the best!"

"Your Highness, that Wang Gao's alchemy techniques are exquisite and incomparable. His skill is so amazing that we are truly amazed! Such a talent came from afar, it is really my luck..."

Hearing this, Zhong Kuixi's expression was unbelievable. Not only did Wang Gao make up the residual formula, but he also refined the five-yuan barrier-breaking pill?

What's more, it's still alchemy in public, every one of the best?

How can it be!

This is the first day!

Even this day, only a few hours have passed!

Even if it is a fourth-rank alchemist, it is impossible to do it, right?

What's more, when the other party discussed the remnant with them before, it was obvious that they were helpless and had no way to start with the remnant. Why did the other party directly become the best in the blink of an eye?

and many more!

At that time, when the four of them were discussing the remnants, Wang Gao didn't speak much. Maybe the other party didn't really have no opinions, but felt that the content of the discussion between the three of them was too superficial, and he couldn't talk to them. Yicai has been silent?

Thinking of this, Zhong Kuixi carefully questioned the specific details again, and after confirming that Wang Gao was still in the same place, he immediately bid farewell to them and walked away quickly.

※※※

In the small courtyard, in the alchemy room, the azure blue cold marrow fire slowly drew back.

According to the agreement with Zhou Miaoli, Pei Ling just finished refining a furnace of Thunder Fire Elimination Pill.

Feeling the gradual silence of the black Gu in his body, he immediately put away the pill furnace, swallowed one of the various poison pills with different onset times, and then sealed it with his true essence, and after making all the preparations, he got up and went out .

Nanke Menghuo, a resource that is of great benefit to a first-grade golden elixir, should be obtained early so that he can rest assured.

Before opening the courtyard door, Pei Ling sensed it and found that the alchemists outside the door had dispersed at this moment. He nodded slightly and walked out of the courtyard door.

After closing the restraint of the small courtyard with his backhand, he identified the direction and walked towards the main hall where he registered when he came.

Not far away, I saw a plainly dressed alchemist walking in a hurry, it was His Nineteenth Prince Zhong Kuixi.

"Your Highness the Nineteenth." Pei Ling immediately bowed respectfully and greeted.

"Fellow Daoist Wang!" Seeing him, Zhong Kuixi walked over quickly and was about to say something, but realized that Pei Ling had just left the house, and immediately asked, "Dare to ask you, but have you made up for the remnants?"

Pei Ling nodded and said, "That's right, I'm planning to go to the main hall to complete the assessment."

It turned out to be true!

Zhong Kuixi was shocked, even though he had heard the alchemists mentioned this matter just now, and he had made mental preparations before coming here, he still felt very unbelievable now that Wang Gao personally admitted it.

If he remembered correctly, the remnant formula that Wang Gao wanted to make up was called Wuyuan Breaking Barrier Pill...

So, he immediately asked: "Fellow Daoist Wang, can you show me the five-element barrier-breaking pill?"

Pei Ling immediately took out a five-yuan barrier-breaking pill and handed it to him: "Your Highness, please take a look."

Finally Kuixi took the elixir, carefully identified it for a moment, and found that this elixir really did not match any elixir he had seen.

He secretly performed secret techniques to analyze the properties of the medicine, but he could barely confirm that the main ingredients contained in it had indeed been seen on the animal skin Wang Gao showed.

Moreover, the elixir in his hand is indeed the best elixir!

Not to mention other things, the ability to refine the top-grade elixir shows that the elixir formula that Wang Gao made up was after precise calculations to ensure that the combination of Shengke and Ke was correct.Otherwise, even if the elixir is refined by mistake, the quality of the elixir will never reach the top grade!

It must be known that every kind of elixir that can reach the highest level not only means that the refiner's alchemy technique is exquisite, but at its root, it is actually the success of the elixir formula. Where there is any disharmony, this kind of elixir, even if it is shot by a top alchemy master, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the best!

It can be seen that this Wang Gao not only made up the residual formula, but also made it up perfectly.

How could there be such a genius in the world? !

As the nineteenth prince of the Liugai Dynasty, Zhong Kuixi has outstanding aptitude. From childhood to adulthood, he has seen countless amazing and stunning people in the front and rear palaces.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Dan Dao, the few priests he often consulted since he was a child, who was not the existence of the stars when they were young?

But a genius like Wang Gao is unheard of!

After a brief loss of consciousness, Zhong Kuixi quickly came back to his senses, and immediately returned the elixir to Pei Ling, saying sincerely: "Under a great reputation, there are no men without merit, and you, Daoist Wang, are amazing!"

"However, the place to apply for the assessment is not in the main hall, but in the enshrining courtyard. I happen to have nothing to do, so I can bring fellow Taoists there."

Pei Ling was taken aback. He Tong, who led the way before, didn't mention the enshrining courtyard, but Kui Xi probably wouldn't joke with him about this kind of thing. Thinking of this, he saluted and thanked him: "Then it's His Highness the Nineteenth." .”

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Kuixi said immediately, "The enshrined courtyard is here. At this time today, it should be Zhu enshrined on duty."

He briefly introduced Zhu Gongfeng as he walked, "This priest is unsmiling and looks very strict, but in fact he loves the younger generation very much. After Wang Daoyou is gone, he just needs to answer the questions normally..."

Chapter 2: Entering "Little Freedom".

The worship courtyard is located in the northeast corner of Xincui Pavilion, a small flat-roofed courtyard hidden among pine forests.
