We are all reborn, let's practice dual cultivation with Master first

You can bring your own alchemy furnace, or use the one provided by the Alchemy Pavilion.

For such a simple pill, Qin Hao naturally didn't need to use the Medicine King Cauldron.

If he activated a magical artifact like the Medicine King Cauldron, Qin Hao would probably just put all the medicinal materials in, set it on fire, and then he wouldn't have to do anything else, and he would succeed in the end.

As the saying goes, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?

After Qin Hao took a look at the pure yang fire of the Yin-Yang in the huge alchemy furnace, he went to get an ordinary alchemy furnace provided by the alchemy pavilion.

Then he selected the medicinal materials needed for the Jieyou Pill, and then found a corner and began to steadily refine the pill.

The field was crowded with people. Some had a confident look on their faces and had already started refining pills; others stood in front of the shelves of medicinal materials, scratching their heads anxiously, in all kinds of expressions.

As time went on, the noisy environment gradually subsided.

Everyone started to refine the pills.

But soon, various accidents occurred due to some people who were not well-trained.

Some people burnt the herbs, put them in the wrong order, or even caused the furnace to explode on the spot, causing disaster to everyone around them and earning angry glares.

Beside Qin Hao, there was an old man who worked as fiercely as a tiger, which eventually caused an abnormal reaction in the furnace and caused it to explode on the spot.

An alchemy conference was turned into a chemistry laboratory.

Qin Hao looked at these, but his hands moved calmly.

Not long after, someone stood up and said that the pill was ready.

Qin Hao took a quick look and knew that it was a disciple from Penglai Island.

After he stood up, he showed a proud expression, and his arrogance was evident in his words.

Then, the examiner came forward, checked the pill, and immediately announced that he had passed.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the disciple from Penglai Fairy Island walked away from the venue with his head held high, like a proud white swan.

Among them, many people looked at him with envy.

However, Qin Hao's expression did not change. After all, he had no intention of showing off.

There are many people who have such thoughts.

For example, Xia Zhu, if he was willing, he could have refined the Jieyou Pill in a quarter of an hour, and the quality would definitely be good.

But in reality, Xia Zhu strolled leisurely in the garden, as if he was on a trip.

Obviously, he has no intention of showing off.

However, considering Xia Zhu's intelligence, Qin Hao felt that he was most likely following Elder Ruolan's instructions. Otherwise, with his frank personality, he would definitely not care about these things.

As dozens more people passed this round of assessment, Xia Zhu had to stand up. Even though she had tried her best to suppress the speed of pill refining, she really couldn't find a way to delay the speed of pill making for such a simple pill.

After all, it was really difficult for her to spend so much time on a third-grade pill.

Soon, Xia Zhu's medicine was checked and passed successfully.

Qin Hao was able to control it with ease. As long as he wanted, he could spend several days to refine even a first-grade pill.

At this time, the various forces in the stands were not idle either.

They also speculated on the strength of those disciples based on the speed at which they refined pills.

Qin Hao knew this very well, which is why he delayed the speed of producing the pill, in order not to attract other people's attention and reduce his opponent's vigilance.

Finally, Qin Hao saw that nearly thirty people had passed, and he completed the last step and slowly stood up.

Then, of course, it passed smoothly.

After returning to the stands, Xia Zhu immediately said in annoyance: "Brother Qin, how did you manage to last so long? I have clearly tried every means to stop myself, but I can only delay it for such a short time."

Qin Hao looked at Xia Zhu and said meaningfully: "Junior sister, you are still young. When you are my age, you will understand."

Xia Zhu scratched his head, confused.

Afterwards, Qin Hao chatted with his three junior sisters from time to time, silently waiting for the assessment to end.

Another half hour passed and the assessment was over.

Some people who were still refining the spirit were filled with pain and frustration when they saw this, and left in despair.

Making elixirs is a very energy-consuming task.

Therefore, after the first test was over, Alchemy did not hold the second test immediately, but scheduled the second test for the next day.

This setting not only allows those who have passed the test to restore their physical strength, but also gives everyone an opportunity to study their opponents.

As the crowd left, Qin Hao inexplicably felt an uncomfortable gaze coming at him.

Looking back, Qin Hao immediately found the owner of his sight - Chu Yi.

When meeting Qin Hao's gaze, Chu Yi's eyes changed for a moment, but he quickly concealed it and turned it into a smile. If you didn't pay attention, this change would be almost undetectable.

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a moment, then separated from her calmly and left.

Looking at Qin Hao's departing back, Chu Yi's smiling expression held an elusive meaning.

In the first round, 60% of the people from the Yuxu Sect were eliminated.

Now, including Qin Hao and Xia Zhu, there are only five people who can participate in the second assessment.

Those who were eliminated all had dejected looks on their faces.

However, Ruolan did not blame them for anything. Instead, she encouraged them.

He then called several people who had passed by to come closer and told the five people what he had observed.

Mainly the main disciples sent by various forces.

She was not fully aware of Qin Hao's strength, but she was well aware of the strength of his disciple Xia Zhu. He was on par with the outstanding disciples from Penglai Island and other forces. Xia Zhu still had a chance to compete with them.

What made her uncertain were the two people - one with his face covered in black clothes, and the other holding a golden flame.

Ruolan couldn't quite figure out these two people.

You know, Ruolan is already an alchemist who can refine seventh-grade elixirs. Even she can't see through it, which is quite terrifying when you think about it.

Therefore, in addition to the outstanding disciples from various forces, Ruolan also particularly emphasized these two people.

Xia Zhu was serious, but Qin Hao remained calm.

If he could still lose even with the help of Yao Ji and the Spirit of Chaos, he would suspect that someone was cheating.

After finishing the conversation, Qin Hao returned to his room. He first comforted the Spirit of Chaos, asking it not to make trouble while he was taking the assessment, and then began to practice in meditation.

……

The next day, the second round of assessment began.

There were nearly two hundred people, but after the first round of assessment, less than forty people remained.

Among them, 80% are disciples sent by various forces, and 20% are independent cultivators.

The question for this second test is about the fourth-grade elixir "Breakthrough Pill".

This pill can help people quickly break through a small realm, but there is a certain limit on the number of times it can be taken. It will be useless after exceeding a certain number, and it can only be taken when the realm is lower.

Although elixirs have many restrictions, they are still very popular in the world of cultivation.

After all, the feeling of being able to quickly improve one's strength cannot be described in words.

Although this pill is common, it is difficult to refine. Without a certain level of strength, it would be difficult to master.

Even Xia Zhu took the pill seriously.

Then the same process followed, getting an alchemy furnace and then selecting medicinal materials.

Not long after the training began, those who had managed to pass the previous round of assessment by secretly observing others' steps and copying them, soon showed their true colors and behaved in an ugly manner.

This fourth-grade elixir cannot be made by simply copying others. Without a certain understanding of pharmacology and proficient fire-controlling skills, failure is an inevitable result.

Those who were exposed eventually left in disgrace under the gaze of everyone.

This kind of thing has happened in every generation, and many elders have become accustomed to it.
