Chapter 1106: No Forgiveness
Chapter 1106: No Forgiveness
Even if he had so many immortal crystals, Shen Xiang would not go along with these people, not to mention that he didn't have any now, so he ignored them. At this time, he saw other people who came to participate in the assessment took out a storage bag and placed it in front of him. At this time, an old man came to collect it.
As long as it is confirmed that there are 100,000 fairy crystals in the storage bag, the old man will take out a good quality alchemy furnace and three portions of medicinal materials for top-grade earth-level pills.
This was Shen Xiang's first time to take the test, and he didn't know about this unspoken rule, while the others seemed to have been prepared for a long time. However, the old man saw that he was indifferent, so he reminded him again, but he still didn't take out the 100,000 fairy crystals.
Everyone frowned and looked at Shen Xiang, but many people also knew that this guy must not know the rules, so he was not prepared. In the eyes of everyone, Shen Xiang would definitely fail this assessment and waste the registration fee.
In the end, Shen Xiang got three medicinal materials of very poor quality and a low-quality alchemy furnace, which made Shen Xiang very unhappy and greatly reduced his impression of this holy city. He really wanted to know who was in charge of this Holy Alchemy Palace. It was so dark. If this was Emperor Tian, ??he would have destroyed and burned it down regardless of everything.
There are many powerful people in this holy city, including several who are as powerful as Master Taiyuan, so he still plans to keep a low profile.
The quality of these medicinal materials is not good, but they can still be used to make pills. Even if they are discarded medicinal materials, he can still make life-saving pills.
The assessment requires the continuous refining of three furnaces of top-grade earth-level pills, and all three furnaces must be successful. Failure even once is not acceptable, so carelessness is a must. In the eyes of many people, the quality of medicinal materials and the furnace are related to success or failure. Although this is very unpleasant, one still has to hand over 100,000 immortal crystals.
When Shen Xiang saw the faces of the old invigilators, what he was worried about was not whether he could refine the Life-Restoring Pill, but whether these old men would interfere after he refined it. He had talked about this kind of people many times before. After all, one hundred thousand immortal crystals was a huge sum of money here. Only a very famous alchemist would not be interested in this small amount of immortal crystals.
Although the alchemy furnace was of very poor quality, it was sufficient in Shen Xiang's opinion. The medicinal materials used to refine the Life-Restoring Pill were of very poor quality, the worst looking kind, and it looked like those old guys had deliberately prepared them to make things difficult for people.
One has to bring his own auxiliary medicinal materials. Shen Xiang's auxiliary medicinal materials are extremely powerful and can make up for the deficiencies in the main medicinal materials.
"As long as you can refine three furnaces of pills within six hours, you will pass the assessment of the gold medal alchemist, and you can take the pills away yourself!" said an old man, then looked at everyone, and when he glanced at Shen Xiang, he deliberately revealed a fierce look.
"From now on, if he cheats, we will throw him out."
The registration fee is 10,000 immortal crystals, while a top-grade Earth-level pill costs only 600 to 700 immortal crystals at most. Three furnaces only make three pills at most. The Holy Pill Palace is making a lot of money, not to mention the 100,000 immortal crystals added as a hidden rule.
Shen Xiang discovered that the rule makers here were doing everything for their own benefit, and at the same time preventing ordinary people from competing with them for interests. To put it bluntly, they were exploiting ordinary people, and the ones who made the most money were the people at the top, followed by a small number of alchemists.
In the Holy City, no one is allowed to trade elixirs privately. If discovered, it will be considered a violation and the person will be blacklisted. The reason is to prevent people from using inferior elixirs to commit fraud during private transactions... In short, it sounds very grand.
"All crows are black. I wonder if it was like this when the Ten Heavenly Emperor was around?" Shen Xiang thought to himself.
Everyone had already lit the flames, and each of the alchemy furnaces was emitting a faint glow of fire. The alchemists who came to take part in the assessment were all very skilled, and this ability to control fire was extremely rare in Di Tian.
Shen Xiang suddenly had an idea, which was to bring back a large number of excellent alchemists. If his Jianglongmen wanted to grow stronger, it would need a certain number of excellent alchemists. It would be very difficult for him and Li Baojun to rely on it alone.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Shen Xiang only planned to refine one life-saving pill in one furnace, and slowed down the time a lot. If he showed off too much, it would bring a lot of trouble.
Shen Xiang has already mastered the fifth level refining method, but now he is only using the fourth level. This will make it much easier for him. The consumption of refining a furnace of pills is not too great.
Refining a furnace of life-saving pills in two hours was like a piece of cake for him. The old men who were supervising the assessment were secretly unhappy when they saw that Shen Xiang was able to successfully refine a furnace. They really hoped that Shen Xiang would fail when refining the next furnace.
In the second furnace, Shen Xiang still steadily condensed a high-quality Life-Restoring Pill, which made other alchemists look at Shen Xiang with admiration. Originally, they thought that Shen Xiang was a fool who didn't know the rules, and that such a person's alchemy was not very good, but now seeing that Shen Xiang was able to refine Life-Restoring Pills in two consecutive furnaces, they all admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
In the eyes of these alchemists, it is difficult to make pills with that inferior furnace and some inferior medicinal materials. The fact that Shen Xiang can do it means that his level is higher than that of most alchemists here.
Most of the people who came to take the test were very determined, with only a few failing. Most people succeeded. Now five hours had passed and everyone else had left. Because their medicinal materials and alchemy furnaces were in good condition, they quickly completed the test and went to receive a gold medal.
Of course, if Shen Xiang hadn't deliberately slowed down, he would have been the one to complete the assessment the fastest.
Shen Xiang deliberately delayed until the end before opening the alchemy furnace, especially now that he saw the impatient looks on those old men's faces, he smiled secretly in his heart.
If it weren't for Shen Xiang, these old men could have left three hours ago, but now they have to wait for Shen Xiang until the end. They are all alchemists, and they can see that Shen Xiang's level is not low. If he has good medicinal materials and alchemy furnace, he will definitely be faster than other alchemists, so they don't have to wait so long now. Of course, they originally thought that Shen Xiang would fail soon.
Half an hour before the end, Shen Xiang opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and took out a life-saving pill.
"I'm done!" Shen Xiang said. At this time, he saw a cunning light flash in the eyes of those old men.
"The time is up, come again next time!" an old man sneered.
"Isn't there still half an hour left?" Shen Xiang said angrily.
Another old man shouted, "When I said the time is up, it means the time is up. Hurry up and get out of here, or don't blame us for being rude!"
"Get lost now! We will pretend we didn't see you cheating. Don't think we don't know you were cheating. We are just giving you a chance so you can try again next time!"
Come again next time? Will you give me 100,000 immortal crystals?
Shen Xiang sneered in his heart, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds. Originally, he didn't intend to make a big fuss, but he felt that these old guys in front of him were too worthy of being fucked, and he must not let them go!
