Beast Taming Tower

Chen Xuan had never heard of the tenth-grade elixir.

In all the alchemy books he had come across so far, there had never been any mention of tenth-grade elixirs.

This made Chen Xuan, an alchemist, very curious.

"May I ask Master Qiyun, what is a tenth-grade elixir, and how to distinguish it?"

Chen Xuan had a serious look on his face and looked quite sincere.

Master Qiyun had no intention of keeping it to himself.

He smiled slightly and then told the story.

"Low, medium, high, and top-grade, these are just the general classifications of elixirs by ordinary immortal cultivators."

"However, when one's cultivation reaches our level, even top-grade elixirs can be divided into different grades."

"Let alone other places, even in the spiritual world that is more powerful than our Fuyao world, there is talk of tenth-grade elixirs."

Master Qiyun paused slightly when he reached this point.

The old man flipped his hand and took out a jar of spirit wine and three cups. He poured a cup for Chen Xuan and Tianjizi, and then poured a cup for himself.

After taking a sip of the spiritual wine, Master Qiyun continued to explain.

"The tenth-grade elixir is a detailed classification of top-grade elixirs."

"Among them, the one with one danwen is a first-grade elixir. The one with two danwen is a second-grade elixir, and so on."

"The surface of the highest quality elixir has ten elixir patterns. It is an extremely rare tenth-grade elixir."

"In fact, there are different levels of elixir above the tenth-grade elixir. But those are elixirs that can only be used by true immortals. As a mortal, I don't know."

The classification of the Ten-Pattern Elixir is very simple.

It is based on the number of elixir patterns that appear on the surface of the top-grade elixir to distinguish them.

To be specific, if a few elixir patterns appear, it means it is a top-grade elixir.

Chen Xuan understood this simple and crude method as soon as he heard it.

However, thinking about the pills he refined, which often had four elixir lines and sometimes had five elixir lines, Chen Xuan hurriedly asked for advice.

"Master Qiyun, you just saw these Huiyuan Pills I made. Can you tell me what quality they are?"

“Master Xuan Chen, although these pills you refined have four pill patterns and appear to be of the standard of fourth-grade pills, they actually only have the effect of first-grade pills.” said Master Qiyun.

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

According to Master Qiyun, he can now refine a fourth-grade elixir. But why does Master Qiyun's statement seem somewhat contradictory at this moment?

For a moment, Chen Xuan looked puzzled.

Tianjizi on the side laughed and said, "Master Xuanchen, listen carefully to what old fellow Qiyun is saying. Haha, let's not talk about other things. When it comes to alchemy, looking at the entire Zhongzhou cultivation world, there is really no one who can compare to old fellow Qiyun."

Chen Xuan nodded, and Mu Ang looked at Master Qiyun again.

"Master Qiyun, why do you say that the Huiyuan Pill I refined only has the effect of a first-grade pill?"

Chen Xuan's expression was very curious.

Master Qiyun thought about it carefully before telling the story.

"Master Xuan Chen, you don't know that the quality of the elixir depends on its specific effects."

"The fourth-grade elixir you refined, my friend, only has the effect of a first-grade elixir when practicing. Therefore, I classified the elixir you refined as a first-grade elixir."

"When the elixir you refine has the effect of a fourth-grade elixir, you can be considered a true fourth-grade alchemist."

Chen Xuan looked stunned.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something, but he was still confused about many things.

After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Xuan took the opportunity to humbly ask Master Qiyun some questions that were bothering him.

Master Qiyun gave detailed answers.

This made Chen Xuan suddenly realize something.

"I see. I have really benefited a lot from meeting you, Master Qiyun, this time. However, Fellow Daoist Tianjizi brought me here to see Master Qiyun this time, probably not just for you to teach me some alchemy skills, right?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Master Qiyun and Tianjizi looked at each other, then they both smiled and nodded.

"Master Xuan Chen is really a man of insight. To be honest, I brought you here this time because I owed that old man Qiyun a favor. So, I thought of repaying him this time."

At this point, Tianjizi smiled and looked at Master Qiyun: "You old fellow, ask me to find an alchemist with outstanding alchemy skills. And, it can't be an alchemist from your Alchemist Association. Now, Master Xuanchen has been brought here by me. You should be satisfied, right?"

After a pause, Tianjizi continued, "Originally, our Tianji Pavilion would not get involved in these rotten things of your Alchemist Association. However, since I am repaying a favor to you, I can only shamelessly invite Master Xuan Chen to come. So, please, for my sake, don't treat Master Xuan Chen unfairly."

Chen Xuan was terribly confused.

No matter how I look at it, it seems like I'm being used by Tianjizi this time when I followed him here.

But after Chen Xuan thought about it seriously for a while, he finally understood the reason.

"Tianjizi is well-versed in history and has insight into everything. If he brought me here today just to use me, it would be somewhat inconsistent with his style." Chen Xuan said secretly.

Unexpectedly, Master Qiyun looked at Tianjizi happily and said, "You old man, you finally helped me this time. Don't worry, based on Master Xuanchen's alchemy level, I can't treat him unfairly."

Having said that, Master Qiyun looked at Chen Xuan again.

This time, there was a hint of pleading in the depths of his eyes.

"Master Xuan Chen, I am a straightforward person and I will not speak in secret. In fact, over the years, I have been traveling around the world, secretly looking for a talented alchemist."

"It's a pity that after so many years, nothing has been achieved."

"Not long ago, I heard from someone that an alchemist who could make top-grade elixirs appeared in Linbian City, so I asked Tianjizi to help me find your whereabouts."

"Now it seems that my decision is very wise."

Master Qiyun said this while looking at Chen Xuan with a satisfied smile.

Chen Xuan, however, was confused.

But he did not show any impatience and continued to listen to Master Qiyun's explanation.

"Master Xuan Chen, you have an outstanding talent for alchemy. You are one of the top five alchemists I have ever seen in my life."

"This time, I sincerely invite you to join our Alchemist Association. Master Xuan Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

After all the twists and turns, Master Qiyun just wanted to invite me to join the Alchemist Association, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Xuan felt that this was just a test from Master Qiyun.

But he didn't refuse on the spot.

"May I ask Master Qiyun, what kind of place is the Alchemist Association? What does it take to become a member of the Alchemist Association?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

Master Qiyun was greatly encouraged.

After pouring a glass of spirit wine for Chen Xuan and Tianjizi, he continued to explain.

"Become a member of the Alchemist Association and you can enjoy all the alchemy resources we have in the Alchemist Association."

"Of course, these alchemy resources are not free. Alchemists from the Alchemist Association need to pay a certain amount of money. Or they can exchange them with their own accumulated contribution points."

"The specific situation will become clear to you when you become a member of the Alchemist Association."

"Of course, our Alchemist Association doesn't just have recipes and elixirs, we also have all kinds of natural treasures, refining materials, talismans, etc."

“However, Master Xuan Chen, if you want to learn more about the Alchemist Association, you might want to take a look at this.”

When Master Qi Yun said this, he flipped his hand, took out a jade slip and handed it to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan took the jade slip curiously and scanned it quickly.

It was discovered that this jade slip recorded the benefits and obligations of becoming a member of the Alchemist Association.

The benefits that Master Qiyun mentioned just now are just one of them.

What interested Chen Xuan the most was the massive amount of alchemy books shared within the Alchemist Association.

This will definitely be of great help to his future journey in alchemy.

"It looks very tempting. However, I cannot give you an answer on this matter for the time being. I will give you an accurate answer after I think it over." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha, it doesn't matter."

Master Qiyun was not disappointed at all. Instead, he pointed to the jade slip in Chen Xuan's hand and said, "Master Xuan Chen, keep this jade slip for yourself. If you have any questions, you can read it at any time."

"However, my real purpose is not to invite you to join the Alchemist Association."

Chen Xuan looked indifferent, but he was smiling secretly in his heart.

"Sure enough, Master Qiyun needs my help with something else."

But at this time, Master Qiyun looked at Tianjizi deeply.

Tianjizi immediately understood.

"Oh, I'm a little sleepy right now. I'll go for a walk in the mountains. Let's have a good chat, fellow Taoists."

Tianjizi laughed and left the valley quickly.

At this moment, only Master Qiyun and Chen Xuan were left.

Even so, Master Qiyun still cautiously cast an anti-peeping spell, covering Chen Xuan and himself before speaking.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, the things I am going to talk about next involve some secrets of our Alchemist Association. It even has something to do with the spirit world."

"For safety reasons, I need you to swear with your inner demon not to tell anyone else. What do you think?"

Seeing Master Qiyun being so serious, Chen Xuan thought seriously for a while before nodding: "No problem. I will swear on my inner demon now!"

After seeing Chen Xuan swearing with his inner demon smoothly, Master Qiyun smiled happily.

"Haha, Master Xuan Chen, although you are in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul now, you are not far from the late stage of the Nascent Soul."

"With your realm and cultivation talent, you will definitely have the opportunity to impact the Spiritual Transformation Stage in the future."

"If so, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, have you ever heard of Xuanbing Spring Water?"

When Chen Xuan heard this, his expression changed drastically.

An indescribable excitement also emerged on his face.

"Mysterious Ice Pure Spirit Water? Of course I have heard of it. Could it be that fellow Daoist has this thing in his hands?"
