Volume 1 Chapter 1185 Alchemist Certification
Kong Yun"s speed was very fast. In a very short period of time, he arrived near Xiao Jia City. However, Kong Yun did not enter immediately. Instead, he observed the surroundings for a period of time before starting to walk inside. This was an extraordinary time, and Kong Yun had to be extra careful. Kong Yun was very clear on this point.
When Kong Yun entered the city, he saw a lot of carriages. Under the lead of merchants, they were walking down the street. The peddlers on both sides of the street were also peddling their wares, creating a harmonious and prosperous scene.
Although this was what he saw in his eyes, Kong Yun knew that this was only a superficial appearance. In this world, slaughter was everywhere.
Kong Yun had just finished thinking when he saw a group of people chopping a big man to death on the street. There was nothing strange about the people around him. They just watched quietly without stopping him or closing their business because of this matter.
After walking for a while, Kong Yun saw the Pill Pavilion in front of him and directly walked in.
"What are you doing? What are you doing in here?" Kong Yun smiled and said slowly, "I"m an alchemist. I"m here to be certified as an alchemist." Hearing this, the guard"s expression became solemn. He no longer had the look of disdain he had just shown.
"So it"s an alchemist. Please come in." As soon as these words were spoken, the guard made way for the entrance and respectfully made an expression of invitation. Seeing this, Kong Yun nodded in satisfaction and walked into the Pill Artifact Pavilion.
After entering, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, which made Kong Yun feel comfortable. After walking for a while, Kong Yun saw a door with the words" Alchemist Certification "written on it. Kong Yun directly walked in.
After entering, he saw a white-haired old man. Seeing Kong Yun arrive, he raised his eyelids slightly and slowly said, "Are you here to partic.i.p.ate in the Alchemist Certification?" Kong Yun nodded slightly and did not say anything.
"Are you here to certify a pill refiner?" Kong Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Eighth grade." When the old man heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Kong Yun solemnly, "What grade are you talking about?"
Kong Yun smiled and said, "Eighth grade." As soon as he said that, the old man stood up and said with a smile, "Young man, don"t be brave at such a young age." Looking at Kong Yun"s young attire, the old man did not believe that Kong Yun was a rank eight alchemist.
"I"m really here to certify a rank eight alchemist." Kong Yun"s expression was solemn, and he didn"t have any intention of joking.
"Take out your old alchemist badge and I"ll take a look." Kong Yun hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sorry, this is the first time I"ve come for an alchemist certification. I"ve never been here before."
Once these words were spoken, the old man was confused once more. Then, he walked to Kong Yun and carefully sized him up. "Wait here for a moment. I"ll go out and invite our steward." After saying that, he hurriedly left this place.
Kong Yun smiled and did not say anything. He walked to a chair and sat down.
Not long after, the old man brought another old man here. "This is our steward and the only rank eight alchemist in Xiaojia City. This time, the certification will be given by rank eight alchemist Qing Jia." Kong Yun bowed slightly, but didn"t say anything.
"Follow me." Afterwards, he followed Qing Jia to a pill refining room. There was a medicinal cauldron in the room, but this medicinal cauldron was only a grade six medicinal cauldron.
"This is your pill refining tool, "You can"t use your own medicinal cauldron to refine pills. You must use this medicinal cauldron to refine pills. The pills you refine this time are rank eight pills, Frost Cloud Pills. These are prescriptions and ingredients. After you finish refining one pill, you can leave with the remaining pills. However, if you fail, you will have to bear the loss of these ingredients. Do you understand?"
Kong Yun nodded. He thought to himself that the Pill Artifact Pavilion was quite profitable. Using a free alchemist to refine pills, and then selling them, he could earn quite a bit of money.
Thinking of this, Kong Yun smiled helplessly and sat down in front of the medicinal cauldron.
After that, Qing Jia handed the medicinal ingredients and pill recipe to Kong Yun. He walked to the side and sat down quietly, waiting for Kong Yun"s performance.
Eighth-grade alchemists were extremely rare in Xiaojia City. Everyone only knew about this person beside Kong Yun. Therefore, Qing Jia had no choice but to authenticate Kong Yun"s ident.i.ty as an alchemist.
Two hours later, Kong Yun opened his eyes and waved his hand. The Spiritual Flame entered the medicinal cauldron, and the temperature in the medicinal cauldron immediately rose.
"No wonder I"m so confident. I originally relied on spiritual fire. However, it"s very difficult to successfully refine pills with spiritual fire alone." Qing Jia whispered without attracting Kong Yun"s attention.
Kong Yun"s mind was completely focused on the pills, and he didn"t pay attention to Qing Jia"s movements.
Under Kong Yun"s familiar movements, Qing Jia"s expression underwent a subtle change. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
As time pa.s.sed, Kong Yun"s movements became faster and faster. The temperature in the medicinal cauldron also gradually increased. The surface of the medicinal cauldron began to slowly deform, showing signs of collapse.
Kong Yun naturally discovered this as well. He did not expect this medicinal cauldron to be so fragile that it could not withstand the burning of Kong Yun"s Spiritual Fire. However, at this time, Kong Yun had no other way to retreat. He could only face the difficulties and refine the medicinal pill before the medicinal cauldron broke.
Kong Yun"s movements were constantly accelerating, and the temperature of the Spiritual Fire was getting higher and higher. Before the medicinal cauldron broke, he had finally successfully refined all the medicinal ingredients, leaving only the final step, which was to form a pill.
Although Kong Yun had gone through this step many times, the effects of each pill were different. Kong Yun could only explore it himself.
Just as Kong Yun was exerting his strength, a crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the medicinal cauldron. With the appearance of this crack, the medicinal power in the medicinal cauldron began to slowly decrease. Kong Yun thought to himself, "Not good." In an instant, he used a source of Laws to seal the crack, sealing off the disappearance of the medicinal power.
Kong Yun had to seize the time. His Laws wouldn"t last for long. He had to successfully fuse the pills within this period of time.
Kong Yun shouted loudly and clenched his hands. The pills began to slowly fuse together.
Following that, an explosion sounded in front of Kong Yun. Qing Jia narrowed his eyes. It was already quite good that he could do this. He was already a genius. Even if he failed, there would be no regrets.
After the fog in front of Kong Yun disappeared, the sky slowly darkened and the lightning tribulation slowly brewed. Qing Jia stared at the sky with wide eyes. There was an unbelievable expression in his eyes. He actually … actually … actually succeeded. It was truly unbelievable.
After Kong Yun finished, he arrived beside Qing Jia. He extended his hand in front of Qing Jia and slowly opened his hands. Two jade-blue pills lay quietly in Kong Yun"s hands, emitting waves of coldness.
Seeing the appearance of the Frost Cloud Pill, Qing Jia knew that Kong Yun had succeeded. After being in a trance for a while, he adjusted his mentality and looked at Kong Yun with a smile. "Congratulations, you have succeeded. You have now officially become a rank eight alchemist." After that, Qing Jia picked up a pill in Kong Yun"s hand and walked into the room. Although Kong Yun had some questions, he didn"t say anything.
After that, Kong Yun put the remaining pills into his spatial ring and waited quietly.
Shortly after, Qing Jia walked back to his room. He held a golden badge in his hand with a big eight written on it.
"This is your badge. After you drop a drop of blood, he will officially belong to you. Even if someone else gets him, he will not be able to play his role and replace you." Kong Yun nodded and a drop of blood dripped into the badge. The badge lit up for a moment and then fell silent.
After that, a set of clothes appeared in Qing Jia"s hand again. "This is the clothing of a rank eight alchemist. You can wear it, which symbolizes the n.o.ble status of an alchemist." Kong Yun nodded and put it into his interspatial ring.
This action surprised Qing Jia. In his impression, as long as he got the clothes, he would not be able to put them on. However, the young man in front of him actually put them into his interspatial ring indifferently, which surprised him a little.
"This dress is still a Heavenly Divine Artifact. It can block the attacks of Heavenly Divine Realm experts, but it is not that useful for experts above Heavenly Divine Realm." This news surprised Kong Yun. He didn"t expect this dress to have such an effect.
Seeing that Kong Yun did not have such a surprised expression, Qing Jia"s expression was somewhat helpless. Just by looking at Kong Yun"s performance today, he knew that Kong Yun"s strength was above his own. In the future, his potential for development would only be higher than his own, and not lower than his own.
Then, Qing Jia continued, "Our Pill Artifact Pavilion invites you to join us. I wonder what you think?" Qing Jia"s expression was extremely respectful. Although he was also a rank eight alchemist, he knew the gap between him and Kong Yun. Qing Jia had already reached the peak of his development. Kong Yun had only just begun, so Qing Jia did not dare to offend Kong Yun easily.
Just as Kong Yun wanted to refuse, the artifact spirit"s words sounded in Kong Yun"s mind, "You are weak now, and there is the Wanming Alliance"s pursuit. It is best to find a force to join and find a shelter for yourself. The Pill Artifact Pavilion is undoubtedly the best choice."
Kong Yun thought for a moment. It was indeed like this. Then, he looked at Qing Jia and said, "I can join your Pill Artifact Pavilion, but I"m not used to being restrained. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course, do we have one here? Honorary Elder is not under our jurisdiction. However, if we have any difficulties, I hope you can help us. At the same time, our Pill Artifact Pavilion will also provide you with convenience. For example, if you purchase pills or medicinal ingredients from our Pill Artifact Pavilion, you will receive 20% discount."
Hearing this condition, Kong Yun instantly became interested.
