Cannon Fodder False Young Master Awakens To God [Wearing Books]

After dismissing the sulking childish cat away to play by himself, Jiang Changning really closed his eyes and rested for a while.

The third fire test is over, and the fourth formal alchemy is left.

But after the third item is over, the people who join the club have already been decided.

The fourth alchemy assessment is just extra points, it just gives the disciples a platform to show off.

The hundred disciples who survived successfully entered the alchemy room one by one, and picked up the alchemy recipes that needed to be refined.

"Bone strengthening pills..."

It was the first time for Jiang Changning to refine an entry-level elixir. He looked at the medicinal materials needed for the refining of Jiangu Wan, but he automatically recalled the refining points in several places in his mind.

Memorizing the sequelae of medicinal materials and medicinal effects has become a habit.

Jiang Changning didn't know the position assigned this time or the people around him.

But he was the third person to leave the examination room in the last round, and the rest of the people still had a fresh memory. They looked carefully at him for a few times before turning back their gaze and silently looking at the formula.

Jiang Changning did not dare to take it lightly when refining the basic alchemy for the first time.

Facing the prescription, combined with the efficacy of the medicinal materials, he slowly adjusted the heat and refined it patiently.

The fourth round is an open examination room, alchemists who are idle in the alchemy club can come here to watch.

Not long after the examination started, there were several alchemists wandering around in the examination room with hundreds of alchemy furnaces.

Dozens of people in the alchemy club have reached the fourth-level alchemy master.A fourth-tier alchemist can start a sect and accept apprentices.

So the fourth round of assessment is more like the alchemist's apprenticeship inspection.

But there are especially many alchemists who came today, most of them came here for Wen Shangfang to give birth to apprentices.

They stood in front of Qu Bingyun's stove, coming and going, never forgetting to say hello in a warm voice, calling "Junior Brother Qu".

It was difficult to talk while refining the elixir, so Qu Bingyun nodded to them, then looked down at the elixir.

It's just an entry-level basic elixir. To him, it's extremely simple.

Qu Bingyun slightly hooked his lips, and opened the alchemy furnace in front of all the senior brothers and sisters.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The alchemists who were staring at Qu Bingyun couldn't stop nodding and judged his refined medicine.

After a while, Mu Lao, Shi You and other examiners also came over.

Mu Lao took a few glances at Qu Bingyun's movements, but didn't respond.

Shi You looked away, inadvertently saw the movement of a person beside him, and when he saw the flames in that person's alchemy furnace trembling extremely regularly, his gentle eyes shone slightly.

"Old Mu." She called softly, pointing to the man's alchemy furnace, "Look there..."

Mu Lao followed the prestige and saw the third disciple who left the examination room in the previous round.

Because of the red spots on the disciple's face, he was very impressed.

After looking carefully for a while, Old Mu took a light breath, "Shiyou, what is this child's name... Baijiang?"

Shi You nodded: "Yes, it's called Bai Jiang."

When Mu Lao opened his mouth to speak, several alchemists around him all looked over.

What caught the eye was a red-spotted face like Qu Zichen's, terrifying and cautious.

Some people subconsciously frowned, but before they frowned, they were startled by the disciple's smooth alchemy movements.

It turns out that there are more and more alchemists looking over.

There are more and more alchemists who are astonished and dazed.

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Changning finished refining the most critical step, pine nerves, and planned to rest for a while.

As soon as he raised his head, he was almost frightened by nearly ten pairs of eyes looking straight at him.

"Elder, elder——" Jiang Changning barely recognized the old man with white eyebrows and white beard in front of him, and then glanced at the few people who seemed to be stunned behind the old man, a little embarrassed, "Are you okay?"

Mu Lao coughed, twirling his beard with his fingers, unable to hide his joy, "Have you successfully refined elixir before?"

Jiang Changning looked at the brighter eyes behind Mu Lao, fell silent for a moment, and nodded: "I have practiced before."

"Old Mu!"

Behind Mu Lao, a slightly younger middle-aged man said excitedly, "Look!"

Everyone followed his movements and saw the unaffected flames in the stove in front of them.

And alchemists are still talking to them.

Their eyes lit up and they became even more excited.

Jiang Changning closed his eyes: "Then what."

When he was concocting alchemy in the World-Defying Pagoda, Huo Lin would often come to interrupt him, randomly inspecting some alchemy knowledge.

Talking and controlling the fire or something...

Get used to it.

Mu Lao's voice was trembling: "You—can you refine the third-order pill?" Jiang Changning paused, pointing to the bone-building pills in the pill furnace, and said: "This is the first time I have refined Tier [-] pill."

After he finished speaking, as expected, the expressions of everyone in front of him changed from excitement to surprise, and even dullness.

Jiang Changning touched his nose, he was telling the truth.

If it is possible to refine a third-order alchemy formula, it would be fun if Mu Lao asked him to make one on the spot.

Without the support of Huo Lin's well-behaved tinder, Jiang Changning guessed that he would not even be able to make a second-order elixir.

Mu Lao clutched his heart, panting a bit short of breath.

After he slowed down, he patted Shiyou, who was equally astonished, and said in a solemn voice, "Go and tell your master, our Danhui has another incredible genius."

Shiyou nodded.

The gentle eyes lingered on Jiang Changning's face for a while, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and then left.

When Shiyou left, and after Mu Lao suppressed his excitement and led the group of people to disperse, Jiang Changning lowered his head to fiddle with the medicinal materials, his eyes full of helplessness.

Low-key Dafa.

failure.

The movement of this group of people coming and going was so loud that Jiang Changning just raised his head to pick up the medicinal materials, and saw the stunned gazes of several disciples around him.

The medicinal materials in the stove have turned into black powder, and they haven't recovered yet.

This stimulating effect is similar to the degree of Qin Yan's apprenticeship in the last match.

Jiang Changning sighed, and simply speeded up, finishing the refining of the elixir ahead of schedule.

Mu Lao came again, even if he walked away, he kept watching Jiang Changning's refining progress.

He hurried over, looked at the five pills in the pill furnace, "Has the refining been completed?"

Jiang Changning nodded lightly, "The refining is complete, please check with the elders."

The flames in the pill furnace have not been extinguished yet, a cluster of very small flames are swaying gently, continuously supplying heat to the pill furnace, maintaining the temperature required for the pill to form.

Mu Lao stared at the cluster of flames, he was in a hurry just now, but now he was silent for a moment.

He first said to Wu Ze: "You give this pill a score."

Then he looked at Jiang Changning: "Your assessment is over, come with me."

His expression was a little indifferent.

Jiang Changning followed Mu Lao's gaze and glanced at the alchemy furnace, and smiled wryly.

Well, another habitual but skill-testing operation.

He walked out with Mu Lao, causing another commotion along the way.

Even Guan Qianyi and Qin Yan were affected and raised their heads, looking at Jiang Changning in surprise for a moment.

But only for a moment, they immediately lowered their heads and adjusted the flames.

"laugh--"

There was a soft and delicate sound of the flame being extinguished.

Qu Bingyun's eyes dimmed.

He raised his head and looked at the person who walked out of the examination room, breathing slightly short of breath.

In the last match, the flames in his furnace went out many times, which caused his mentality to be unstable when refining alchemy later on, and even the most basic grinding could cause problems.

It wasn't until the end of the exam time that he took out a liquid medicine that could barely be regarded as a second-level alchemist.

But in the end score.

Grinding is 90, smelting is even only 85.

After the assessment, there were quite a few people waiting to be scored. With two huge scores, he felt as if he was being executed in public, his heart constricted in pain.

Some people who are not good-looking came over to congratulate him, saying that a score of 90 is rare, and that he is worthy of being the president's apprentice.

Qu Bingyun clearly remembered the surprised and questioning gazes cast by those alchemists next to them after these people had no eyesight.

He felt his face was burning.

At that time, Qin Wu was also there, his new senior brother.

After Qin Wu knew his score, he also asked him in surprise: "Is it abnormal performance? It's okay, 85 points are fine."

Qu Bingyun shouted angrily in her heart: It's 85 and 90!

He was not reconciled, he asked Qin Wuna the results of the first three people leaving the field.

If he leaves early, the quality may not meet the standard, and he still has a little luck.

Qin Wu answered him cheerfully: "The third person's score is similar to yours, but the first two are a little bit better, especially the first person, Qin Yan, 96 and 98. After Mu Lao accepted his apprentice, this score is in the whole The guild has spread the word."

96...98? !

The breath stagnates in Qu Bingyun's chest.

He held back his gaffe.

Endure it in one breath until now.

He showed his best form and vowed to make a comeback in the fourth round of assessment.

As a result, those alchemists who came rushing towards him for the sake of his master, all looked behind, at the red-spotted monster.

Qu Bingyun's breathing became more and more rapid, he grabbed the corner of the table in front of him, trying to calm down.

"Crack-"

The corner of the table is broken.

Qu Bingyun closed her eyes tightly and told herself, calm down.

Qin Wu passed by his alchemy stove, glanced at the abnormal redness on Qu Bingyun's face, raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Little brother, your fire is extinguished."

Qu Bingyun suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at the pill furnace, took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head, and looked at Qin Wu.

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me." He frowned and smiled slightly.

Qin Wu looked at the pill furnace to restart the fire, then took another look at the scorching flame reflected in Qu Bingyun's eyes, shrugged and left.

Outside the examination room.

After sending away the idlers, Old Mu turned around and took a few glances at Jiang Changning.

He squinted his half-clouded eyes, and said slowly: "After the pill is completed, reduce the temperature of the flame and maintain a continuous low-heat furnace to maintain the shape of the pill and reduce the loss of medicinal materials..."

"This is difficult for an alchemist who does not have enough experience in alchemy, and it is also difficult to control the temperature required for the pill to be formed."

As Mu Lao said, he raised his head and pressed his white eyebrows lightly, "You can't be a new alchemist."

Jiang Changning remained silent.

After a while, he said: "I know several alchemists, and I have read the alchemist's handwriting. I have always wanted to learn alchemy, but there were too many delays before, and I have the opportunity to learn alchemy until now."

"If you ask me to blindly refine a first-level pill, I may not even know the steps of refining it, because I have never seen it or practiced it."

Mu Lao frowned, and looked at him suspiciously: "The alchemist's handwriting will not be easily displayed to others."

Jiang Changning smiled and said, "It's my master's handwriting."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent, only looked at Mu Lao, and didn't speak any more.

Mr. Mu wanted to ask again, but when he heard the word "Master", he knew that Jiang Changning would not say more.

He met the young man's sincere eyes, and kept silent, believing it.

"Forget it, the Pill Guild welcomes every alchemist who devotes himself to researching alchemy." Mu Lao put one hand behind his back, his serious expression became kind, "I hope you can keep your original intention in mind in the future."

Jiang Changning bowed slightly to him, as a response to this sentence.

Old Mu turned around to leave.

Jiang Changning suddenly stepped forward and stopped him, "Old Mu, wait a moment, this disciple has something to ask for advice."

Mu Lao stopped and looked at him: "Tell me."

Jiang Changning pondered for a moment, and asked, "I want to ask, is there... the Red Snake Fire Seed in the Danhui?"

"Red Snake—Fire?"

Mu Lao raised his eyes in surprise, his face turned serious, "Have you thought it through? The Red Snake Fire Poison is no joke."

Jiang Changning nodded: "Think clearly."

Mu Lao frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Dan will have it, but the fire will be directly supplied to the auction, I will tell them, if you want, this year's Dan will add the red snake fire to the auction."

Jiang Changning: "Then...about how many spirit stones do you need?"

Mu Lao thought for a while, "Probably, [-] middle-grade spirit stones? It is equivalent to a hundred high-grade spirit stones, which is not expensive. If no one bids, even a few high-grade spirit stones are enough."

Jiang Changning: "..."

He hated himself for not accumulating spirit stones when he was young and ignorant.

Jiang Changning sighed in his heart, "Thank you elder."

Mu Lao nodded, put his hands behind his back, and left in satisfaction.

Watching Mulao leave, the little black cat grabbed his sleeve and poked its head out: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Changning hugged the cat and said with a headache: "It's really impossible, go to Wu Ailin...you have to get all the spirit stones."

Red Snake fire is not uncommon, but apart from the Pill Guild and the Refining Guild, there are not many forces that specifically store Red Snake Fire.

From the current point of view, it is the most cost-effective choice to go to the auction to buy tinder.

Difficult!

Jiang Changning struggled for an hour to collect the spirit stones, and it was time for the assessment to end in a blink of an eye.

People came out of the examination room one after another.

Many people looked at Jiang Changning with subtle eyes, not sure if they were envious or jealous.

Jiang Changning didn't care about it, and just greeted Guan Qianyi, Qin Yan and Chu Ji.

Several people were chatting when Guan Qi suddenly appeared.

He looked excited, held a small notebook in his hand, and leaned towards them: "Then what, how many points do you all have?"

Guan Qianyi looked at him: "Why are you asking this?"

Guan Qi raised his notebook, "As the first Xiaosheng of Wantianguo, I think you are the top three in this exam! So... give me a letter in advance? Please!"

Chu Ji was about to laugh at him when Shi You came out with a scroll.

Everyone present immediately returned to silence, looking at Shiyou silently.

Shiyou smiled at the examiners for a moment, then unfolded the scroll, and said loudly: "The results of this alchemy assessment have been counted, and the following are the ones who passed the assessment—"

"Bai Jiang, Qin Yan, Guan Qianyi, Qu Bingyun..."

There was an uproar in the audience.

The person who congratulated Qu Bingyun just now turned his head and looked at the people in the back row.

Because of Chang Qian's finding faults and Qu Zichen's special attention, many people already knew that among the examiners this time, there was a blush-faced examiner.

I also know his name——

white river.

Qu Bingyun's eyes were dark, he listened quietly, and heard that he was ranked fourth.

Before coming here, Shang Fangsheng said that there were mixed results in this assessment, but no matter what, as his apprentice of Shang Fangsheng, he must win the top three.

No. 4...

Baijiang...

Qu Bingyun exhausted all her strength to remember this name.

Jiang Changning walked out of the guild amidst congratulations.

This achievement that others are envious of, but he feels very overwhelmed.

Bai Han comforted him: "Ah, ah, anyway, with this face on your face, you will become famous sooner or later. So, let's go to the Wu Family Chamber of Commerce to borrow money now!"

Jiang Changning: "Borrowing money is not buying you grass."

Bai Han: "Hey, I've borrowed everything, it's all the same."

Then Jiang Changning ruthlessly rejected his proposal.

Seeing that the cat was unhappy, Jiang Changning fed a piece of Yun Lingzhu and began to think of a way.

After saying goodbye to Guan Qianyi and the others, Jiang Changning returned to the inn.

He thought about it, and the only thing that could be auctioned off and was worth a lot of money...

The blood robbed from the Nine Vipers.

The market price of a small bottle of ten milliliters of Nine Venomous Serpent's blood is one thousand middle-grade spirit stones. At that time, he seemed to have ordered a dozen bottles for alchemy.

Barely enough for the price of tinder.

There were still three days before the auction officially started. Jiang Changning sent the divided bottles of blood to the auction, and then practiced with peace of mind.

Three days is not a long time, but it is enough to do some things.

For example, modifying the prescription of Dan.

For another example, look for evidence.

During the assessment of the alchemy meeting, Qu Zichen took the medicinal materials and went back to alchemy. After experiencing no less than [-] failures on the original basis, he finally succeeded in restoring the mysterious man's elixir.

Holding the pill that was said to be exactly the same as Qu Bingyun's, he was in a daze.

"Senior Sister, is this elixir really the same as the one Qu Bingyun made?" He asked worriedly, "He is my savior? Just think about it—depressed!"

Shiyou picked up a crimson pill, smiled lightly and shook his head: "The pill formula is the same, but the completion rate of the pill you infer from memory and medicine effect is about 50.00%, that of Qu Bingyun, But not even 30.00%."

"If it wasn't for the effect of the elixir, that elixir would be of inferior quality."

"Although the elixir used second-level medicinal materials, all refining techniques have reached the third-level or even fourth-level standards. It is obvious that Qu Bingyun is a second-level alchemist, and he does not have the ability to refine third-level elixir formulas. .”

Qu Zichen frowned, "Didn't he develop this elixir?"

"I don't think so." Shi You walked aside, looked at the colorful medicine field outside the window, and said softly, "The mysterious man has the imprint of cyan petals on his hand, and I asked Qu Bingyun, he vowed to develop it in a longer time than we went out. It's late."

She shook her head and finished speaking, "The same elixir recipe has almost the same time, but different refiners and completely different degrees of completion. I don't believe that this elixir recipe was developed by Qu Bingyun." Qu Zichen cursed in a low voice. He said: "Qu Bingyun, steal the recipe!"

Shiyou smiled helplessly: "But the facts are like this. Qu Bingyun first brought the pill formula and finished product to the world, and let so many people recognize him as the inventor. What can you do, just rely on him to save us? No way. Yes, there is no evidence, and we do not know the Venerable."

"But he didn't know that the elixir can also cure other snake venoms."

"I'll find out soon. His teacher is Vice President Shang. It is estimated that in a day or two, the complete Dan Fang will appear in the world."

"But, but—" Qu Zichen thought for a while, but he was still not reconciled. He said, "Senior sister, didn't you say that the mysterious person also used a kind of green mysterious smoke? Let's look for this kind of smoke? Can you find the flaw?"

Shiyou pondered for a moment, "Yes, but the scope is too wide and it's hard to find."

"Let's go find Master!" Qu Zichen turned over and stood up immediately, "The medicinal properties of this pill are very obvious. There are very few smoky items that can be used together and coexist. We can eliminate them one by one according to the efficacy of the medicinal materials!"

As he said that, he ran out the door to find Hua Qing.

Shi You looked at the little junior brother who hadn't been so lively for a long time, and laughed.

Hua Qing's residence.

Qu Zichen shouted "Master" all the way, stepped on the path full of weeds, and rushed into a small green courtyard.

When Hua Qing turned his head, he saw Qu Zichen propped up his knees, gasping for breath.

His always upright face softened, and he said slowly, "Why worry, the toxins on your body haven't been completely cleared, what if it happens—"

"Oh, master! Listen to me first." Qu Zichen jumped up and interrupted his master, and described his and Shiyou's discoveries and doubts in detail.

Hua Qing frowned slightly after hearing this. He had a upright and serious personality, so naturally he couldn't understand those alchemists who copied alchemy recipes.

But as Shi You said, Qu Bingyun obviously has an advantage for this kind of unsubstantiated matter.

Thinking of this, Hua Qing turned around and took out a thick and simple book from the bookshelf.

Qu Zichen leaned over curiously: "Master, what is this? Why haven't I seen you take it out before?"

Holding the book cover, Hua Qing gently rubbed the cover with his fingertips, and said with some nostalgia: "This book is a grand ceremony of the Zhou family."

"Zhou family—which boat?" Qu Zichen was taken aback, "Did Senior Zhou Bai give it to you?"

"Yes." Hua Qing nodded and glanced at Qu Zichen, "Speaking of which, Zhou Bai has a lot of connections with your Qu family."

Qu Zichen pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a while, he said: "I only know that he is the master of Jiang Changning, the former young master of Lingyun Sect. As for Qu Bingyun, I am not familiar with him."

The author says:

Before revealing Danfang, there is one more thing to reveal.

Face punches have to be paired——

Love you guys - refills!
