Lonely Immortal

However, Zhang Zhiwen learned his lesson this time. He did not leave early like last time. In fact, it was not Zhang Zhiwen's intention to leave early in the last alchemy exam. He did not expect that he had refined all the materials for alchemy, but others had not yet refined the pills.

He was a little surprised. How did these people refine the pills? Does it take so much effort to refine the pills? In fact, Zhang Zhiwen did not know that they had to spend a lot of time to refine the spiritual medicine materials, and they would make mistakes constantly. In this process, they still need time to think about what to pay attention to in the next step and think of many things in advance.

But Zhang Zhiwen no longer needs these thoughts. He has refined a lot of Fahun Pills. He is very familiar with it. Therefore, it is very normal for him to refine the Fahun Pill so quickly, and it is also very normal for others to take a long time to refine it.

It's just that neither side knows the other's strength. Their cultivators don't know the horror of Zhang Zhiwen's alchemy, and Zhang Zhiwen also has the assistance of the Immortal Palace. If Zhang Zhiwen goes all out, I don't know how shocked these people will be, and Zhang Zhiwen doesn't know that other people are actually very weak.

Don't underestimate the art of alchemy. Although many cultivators here have ancient Taoist methods, those ancient Taoist methods are just talk. In fact, they have nothing to do with the ancient Taoist soul. In addition, their Taoist souls are not good, and the Taoist fire they produce is not good. Alchemy is an extremely complex and exquisite skill for them.

The reason why the Immortal Dynasty wants to test everyone's alchemy and refining skills is nothing more than because it involves many things related to strength, such as the strength of the Taoist soul. The strength of the Taoist soul is not just about what realm the Taoist soul reaches, but also about how to use it. How to use it? That must be reflected in alchemy, refining, Xuanmen, or martial arts.

Whether it is the innate Dao soul or the ancient Dao soul, the first thing that is easy to be examined is the skill of alchemy and refining. In addition, the Immortal Dynasty still starts with the most basic spiritual medicine and ore refining to see whether the cultivator's Dao soul realm is stable, or whether it has reached the level of being able to use it freely.

This is a very important reason. Of course, in addition to this, the Immortal Dynasty has other considerations, that is, the strength of a cultivator is largely related to his ability to refine alchemy and refining, especially after reaching the Golden Core cultivator. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a cultivator to obtain and improve his cultivation through other means, that is, to rely on elixirs or Dao tools to improve his strength. Isn't this a very normal thing?

Then it is necessary for the Immortal Dynasty to assess alchemy and refining. Then there are other factors, such as the assessment of spiritual medicines, such as the assessment of ore refining, which are to see whether the cultivator has practiced these things solidly at the bottom stage, rather than simply relying on relationships to get up through the back door.

Therefore, the assessment of this Immortal Dynasty is extremely meticulous, and it is not decided to do so on a whim.

Then, Zhang Zhiwen does not know the real situation of other people, nor does he know the real situation of other low-level cultivators. In fact, most cultivators are relatively weak in alchemy and refining, because it requires a lot of verification to improve.

Take this Fahun Pill for example. To refine a good and qualified Fahun Pill, at least a lot of medicinal materials are needed, which is all money. Let me ask, which cultivator can be compared with Zhang Zhiwen? Zhang Zhiwen's medicinal material cost is extremely low, the Taoist fire is extremely strong, and there is a lot of practice. In this way, Zhang Zhiwen feels that alchemy and refining are just simple things, but this is not the case for others.

Otherwise, after these people came out and saw Zhang Zhiwen refine the top-grade Fahun Pill, they almost couldn't believe it. The examiner would not think that it was refined by Zhang Zhiwen, but thought that he was definitely lucky and accidentally refined it.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen and the others do not know each other's strength, and now Zhang Zhiwen actually still does not know the strength of others, and still feels that he should act cautiously. This is his character. If it were not for this character, he would have been finished long ago, there is no doubt about this.

Some people think that Zhang Zhiwen is so weak in character, but in fact, if the person who said this was in Zhang Zhiwen's situation, he would have been finished long ago. Who can't brag, but the reality is that in a difficult situation, if you make a mistake, you will be doomed. Otherwise, it's too self-righteous.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen is so cautious, which will inevitably cause him to overestimate the strength of others. Although there is no problem in keeping safe, there will naturally be some things that make people laugh and cry.

And Zhang Zhiwen simply reserved more time for refining this time. Although he quickly refined the best Jindan Dao weapon, he refused to come out. He stayed in the refining room and waited, even if it was a waste of time, he had to wait.

While waiting, Zhang Zhiwen felt quite bored. He couldn't help but think of some things that he seldom thought about in his daily life. For example, he often saw some people who he didn't know how to describe. These people did things in a rash manner, whether they were refining pills, refining equipment, or even practicing, they were all extremely rash. He then thought of what happened in Feixian City.

Those people are all low-level cultivators, and they are in a hurry to do things. They feel that it is troublesome to spend a little time thinking. Sometimes, he sees that Feixian City actually has a lot of things that can be used, but these people do not understand these things, but are eager for success, and finally fail miserably.

And which family in Feixian City is good? They are all short-sighted and are also those who fish in a dry pond. The families are all like this, and the immortal gates are almost the same. The cultivators who rely on these immortal gate families are also like this. This is the upper and lower examples, and they are all eager for quick success and instant benefits. The final result is bound to be a miserable failure.

As the saying goes, good and evil cannot coexist, which actually means this thing. Many people are eager for quick success and instant benefits, just like some of the leaders of some secular sects that Zhang Zhiwen has seen. Some leaders even gave up the original very good skills, even the magic skills, in order to increase their skills. Instead, they chose to castrate themselves and practice evil skills. There are many such people. As long as there is profit, they can't see any long-term benefits at the moment, and finally fail miserably.

Of course, these are all off-topic. Zhang Zhiwen just thought about it occasionally when he was bored. At this moment, some cultivators went out one after another. After these cultivators went out, they must have taken out the Taoist instruments they refined.

"Hey, Brother Li's Taoist instrument is not bad!"

"Hey, yours is also powerful!"

"Hehe, why bother bragging to each other, look at Brother Zhang, the ancient Taoist soul is different, the Taoist instrument he refined is powerful, it is a top-grade Taoist instrument!"

"Yes, a top-grade Taoist instrument, I don't know if I can refine it in this lifetime!"

"These ancient Taoist soul cultivators are different, hey, Chen Huanzhi also refined a top-grade Taoist instrument, hey, no, his is a top-grade Taoist instrument!"

"Oh my God, it's a top-grade Taoist instrument? Isn't this too incredible?"

"It seems that he is lucky. He was not good at refining pills before, but now he has refined a top-grade Taoist weapon. He will definitely be in the top ten this round!"

"He is more than the top ten. With this Taoist weapon, he is enough to enter the top three!"

...

A bunch of people were talking about it, and Chen Huanzhi was really lucky. He actually refined a top-grade Taoist weapon. Logically speaking, the ancient Taoist soul cultivators can only refine a mid-grade Taoist weapon. If they refine a top-grade Taoist weapon, it means they are very lucky. But he actually refined a top-grade Taoist weapon, which is simply against the luck of heaven.

With this against the luck of heaven, he is almost the first in this round of exams. This is at least what most people think, and in fact it is almost the same.

"Well, not bad, not bad. Although there are still some small flaws, it barely reaches the top grade, but it is already very good!"

The chief examiner directly praised Chen Huanzhi's strength. Everyone was extremely envious and jealous. This exam also has a luck component.

But Chen Huanzhi was so lucky that no one could do anything. As for Chen Huanting, she hadn't come out yet. It was estimated that the refining was not going smoothly!

Of course, in addition to Chen Huanting, there were some cultivators who hadn't come out yet. It was estimated that the refining was not going smoothly. Zhang Zhiwen naturally didn't come out either. He heard the noise outside, but he didn't plan to go out at this moment. He had to wait until everyone was out before he went out.

Anyway, he was afraid, so as not to attract more attention. He really underestimated his own ability and overestimated the ability of others. He also heard the noise outside. When he heard that some people had refined a high-grade Taoist weapon, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was quite surprised to hear that Chen Huanzhi had actually refined a top-grade Taoist weapon, but he was even more relieved. Chen Huanzhi could refine a top-grade Taoist weapon, so it didn't seem too much for him to refine it, right?

In this way, time passed bit by bit, and more and more cultivators came out, but Zhang Zhiwen hadn't come out yet.

There were more and more discussions outside. Of course, some people were bragging about how powerful the ancient Dao Soul cultivators were, some were frustrated about the failure of refining weapons, and some were shocked that Chen Huanzhi had refined a top-grade Dao weapon.

Inevitably, someone mentioned Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen was the number one in alchemy, so naturally people would talk about him. Moreover, everyone thought that he had completely relied on luck to refine the top-grade Fahun Pill. Now that he was reluctant to come out, everyone naturally thought that Zhang Zhiwen would definitely not be able to refine any good Dao weapon this time.

"Hey, it's normal to have good luck, but it's impossible to have such good luck all the time!"

"That's right, but it's been too long, right? Almost everyone has finished refining, and he's the only one left. Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"He must be unwilling to give up, otherwise why would he do this? If it were me, I would do the same. Just imagine, if I won the first place in alchemy, I would definitely hope to continue to work hard and continue to perform better in refining. Unfortunately, my strength does not match my expectations, which will only bring disappointment!"

"That's right, as a person, you still have to see your own strength clearly, Qian Don't be too ambitious, don't lose sight of your own status and identity. If you think you are extremely powerful even though you have very low strength, you are definitely arrogant. "

"Hey, it's normal for him to feel unbalanced, and he must be able to hear what we say outside. Guess, after he knows that others have refined high-grade or even top-grade Taoist instruments, will he be more anxious? "

"Haha, that's true. If he is more anxious, he will definitely not be able to concentrate on refining instruments. The way to refine instruments still requires a calm mind. "

"That's right, look at Chen Huanting, hey, she is just impatient, she almost collapsed when she heard that her brother had refined a top-grade Taoist weapon?"

"Let's not talk about this, look at her, she was extremely depressed after coming out, almost desperate, but isn't Chen Huanting in the same group with that Zhang Zhiwen?"

"Yes, it seems like they are Taoist couples, she is probably worried that Zhang Zhiwen is not doing well now, right?"

...

A bunch of people were sneering outside, Chen Huanzhi was very proud, and the other few ancient Taoist soul cultivators were a little meaningful. They looked at each other and saw that they didn't think much of Chen Huanzhi, but Chen Huanzhi had a great chance of winning the first place in the county exam with the top-grade Taoist weapon this time.

They were also a little jealous, but also a little helpless. As for Chen Huanting, she certainly thought that Zhang Zhiwen was likely to fail this time, because Zhang Zhiwen was not very good at refining ores before, and refining weapons and refining ores are of the same origin. If refining ores is not good, then refining weapons will definitely not work.

And she failed to refine it, and just barely refined a low-grade Jindan Dao weapon, which was already good, because it was extremely difficult for Jindan cultivators to refine any good Dao weapons, and it was even good for Jindan cultivators to refine Dao weapons.

If she was not a congenital Dao soul cultivator, the failure rate of refining Dao weapons would also be extremely high. For example, those Jindan cultivators in Tianshui Fairyland, it was almost impossible for them to refine Jindan Dao weapons, and they failed almost every time they refined them. That is, after countless refinings, they finally barely got a Dao weapon.

Dao weapons are naturally extremely precious, and it is easier for Yuanying cultivators to refine Dao weapons, but Yuanying cultivators also need to spend some time, and ordinary Yuanying cultivators can only refine low-grade Dao weapons.

This Dao weapon is just like the Wuwang Mountain, which is extremely magical. Of course, the Wuwang Mountain is a top-grade Dao weapon, just like the top-grade Dao weapon that Zhang Zhiwen refined casually, and Zhang Zhiwen refined it casually, and even he could refine a perfect Dao weapon.

How many years have passed? Zhang Zhiwen has already stepped into the Jindan stage from a Qi Refining cultivator. When he was in the Foundation Building stage, he was still suppressed by the top-grade Dao weapon. Even this top-grade Dao weapon did not need any control. It could generate pressure and suppress the Foundation Building cultivator on its own.

It can be seen that this Dao weapon is actually extremely precious and extremely powerful, especially the top-grade Dao weapon. However, the role of the Dao weapon is greatly weakened against the Jindan cultivator. The Jindan cultivator is an immortal being. Unless he is eaten alive by a strange beast, there is nothing to say.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwen felt that the people outside were almost all there, so he planned to go out.

So, he took his top-grade Dao weapon and slowly came out of the weapon refining room.

Seeing him coming late, everyone looked at him with some contempt and disdain.
