Unlike the others who were excited, Ye Mo felt a lack of interest, he didn’t need Elder Kong Ye’s hand to refine pills, he didn’t believe that his success rate was lower than Elder Kong Ye’s. As for the Heavenly Grade 5 pills that he couldn’t refine yet, he felt that he didn’t need them either, at his current cultivation level, he only needed spirit pills that were below the seventh grade. All he wanted was a place in the Sand Plain Pill Valley, that was all.
Ye Mo looked at the excited Mu Yiqing next to him and patted his shoulder and said, “Senior Brother Mu, be realistic, this top ten doesn’t seem too good to get.”
Knowing that even Qin Muxin’s Seventh Grade Spiritual Dan Master was still only the 22nd in the Alchemy Hall of Fame, Ye Mo was already a little worried in his heart about whether he would be able to get the top ten. If he took out the ‘Misty Lotus Heart Flame’, the top ten would definitely be no problem, and even the first might be Chapter 892 – Insidious Exam Questions.
But as long as he still wanted to live for a few years, this kind of flame should not be taken out.
……
Yan Zheng, who was watching the Alchemy Hall of Fame Grand Competition from afar, finally understood, it turned out that the top ten could also allow Master Kong Ye to take a shot once, no wonder someone from the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ had made an issue out of this.
The ‘Immortal Treasure House’ had both Golden Dan Perfection and Yuan Ying Perfection, and relative to these people, the hardest part was not finding the spirit herbs, but whether there was someone to refine the pills after finding them. Once they got the hand of Master Kong Ye, all Heavenly Grade Five pills could be refined. Then the ordinary pills for upgrading the Gold Dan to Yuan Ying, or even the pills for Yuan Ying to advance to God Condensation would be nothing.
He raised his head and swept the five dan masters who were refining pills on behalf of the ‘Immortal Treasure House’, and the corner of his mouth had a hint of bitterness. If Ye Mo’s master represented the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ in the competition, even if he was given a chance to have Master Kong Ye’s hand in the competition. This opportunity was also his own uncle’s, who had already completed his Golden Dan, and would definitely not give it up. It turned out that they were competing for this spot in order to get Master Kong Ye to give his hand in alchemy.
Of course this might just be one of the reasons, the main reason was probably because that Feng Jiyu and uncle didn’t see eye to eye. To take a step back, even if Ye Mo’s master had represented the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ in the competition Chapter 892 – Insidious Exam Questions and failed to get the top ten. Feng Jiayu would definitely take this up afterwards as well.
Yan Zheng had just thought of this when he looked up and unexpectedly saw Ye Mo. In his heart, he was shocked, why was he here too? He had even entered the competition team? Could it be that he had found another sect for him to represent in the competition? Although Yan Zheng really wanted to go in and ask Ye Mo. But he also knew that the competition was about to start, so he couldn’t go in.
……
“Alright, I’ve finished with the rewards. I hope everyone can give their best in the competition. Now I announce that the 213th Alchemy Hall of Fame Competition of the Northern Hope Continent officially begins ……” As the words of Fang Hongjian, the city lord of Shattered Leaf City, fell, a burst of fireworks rang out.
Numerous participating cultivators began to enter the competition according to their jade tiles.
Ye Mo and Mu Yiqing handed in their jade cards and followed the many alchemists into the room for the first match.
Ye Mo knew as soon as he entered that this was a spatial treasure, the room didn’t look big from the outside, but when he entered, it was surprisingly huge. Five to six thousand people all came in, each with a seat, yet it did not seem crowded.
And Ye Mo even found that each seat was surrounded by a forbidden system, so that no one else could peek in at all.
Just as all the people sat down, a jade tablet floated out in front of each person. Ye Mo scanned it, and inside the jade tablet were pictures of twelve kinds of medicinal herbs. An examiner walked into the room and said to all the participants, “The first match will only last for one incense stick, and this incense stick will eliminate ninety percent of the participants.”
Ye Mo was shocked when he heard this, this one incense burning time will eliminate 90%? These five to six thousand people were not enough to be eliminated in two hours. It turned out that this large number of people was also a cover. It seemed that the Dan a*sociation was just afraid of being gossiped about, so no matter what people were allowed to participate, they still ended up being eliminated from the competition, and they were still eliminated from the competition in the first round.
Ye Mo was surprised, but the other alchemists seemed to be used to it, and no one on the scene raised any objections. Ye Mo thought about it and it was normal. If it was true that if they went slowly to elimination, the Dan a*sociation wouldn’t have set the registration so loose.
Instead, the examiner said, “Everyone, you have images of twelve spirit herbs in your hands, please mark the names and medicinal properties of each of these twelve spirit herbs on the jade tablets, and then use the herbs in them to form at least one dan recipe. As for the number of herbs chosen for the dan recipe, it doesn’t matter, as long as they are the ones inside the jade tablets.”
So simple? Ye Mo said in his mind that he had to eliminate so many people in the first round, how could he come up with such a simple question? However, Ye Mo quickly thought clearly that the question did not seem to be that simple, or at least forming a dan recipe was not simple.
He felt it was simple, and that was because he was a Dan King, and a Dan King who cultivated the ‘Three Life Technique’.
Ye Mo once again focused his divine sense on the jade tablets, only to find that he knew all twelve of these spiritual medicines. There were three that he originally did not recognise, but after obtaining the ‘Thing’, he recognised these three herbs as well.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo was secretly pleased with himself, this topic was simply made for him. If he didn’t have the ‘Things’ book, he would only know nine kinds at most, and Ye Mo also believed that even if others were good, they wouldn’t necessarily be more knowledgeable than him. Since he couldn’t recognise those three without the ‘Things’, it was certain that others shouldn’t be able to recognise them either.
Without even thinking about it, Ye Mo was about to inscribe the names of the spiritual medicines onto the jade token. However, as soon as his divine sense moved, he immediately felt that something seemed wrong. Immediately afterwards, he broke out in a cold sweat and secretly screamed in his heart that it was so close.
He had almost fallen for Boy Blackface’s trick, so it was lucky that he hadn’t started writing. Apart from the book ‘Things’, which he had read completely, there were also Tong Black Face and Sima White Face, and it was very likely that the three medicinal herbs that appeared on it were the result of these two guys’ mischief.
Maybe these two guys used the medicinal herbs on ‘Things’ as exam questions, once whoever recognized these three medicinal herbs, he would be the biggest suspect. What a sinister exam question, this was simply a question aimed at him. Not for his own good, but to try and catch him out.
*** Really defensible, Ye Mo cursed in his heart. He was already sure that this was something done by Tong Black Face, it was good that he was extremely scrupulous of these two guys and was cautious at all times, otherwise he would have really fallen into the path of these two guys.
After thinking about it, Ye Mo wrote the remaining nine herbs on it. If he wrote only nine herbs, he would probably be brushed off, but to Ye Mo, his life was much more important than going to the Sandy Plains Pill Valley.
Besides, Ye Mo thought that even if he wrote nine herbs, he wouldn’t necessarily lose, because there were two very partial spiritual herbs that he had seen in a logbook he had also obtained from the ‘Divine Pill Sect’ back then.
That logbook recorded the four continents and one sea of the Luo Yue continent, and most of Ye Mo’s knowledge of the Luo Yue continent was derived from that logbook. The person who wrote that journal was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had never left the Eastern Xuan Continent in his entire life, and eventually died of old age in the ‘Divine Medicine Sect’.
And he had appended dozens of uncommon medicinal herbs to that journal, two of which were among the twelve today. So, Ye Mo thought that even if he wrote three less, he wouldn’t necessarily lose. Because other cultivators like him had not seen the book of ‘things’ and might know even less than him.
Ye Mo had his own knowledge of alchemy, and it would not be too much to say that it was a school of its own, so even though there were only nine herbs, he still organised a dan recipe by himself based on the medicinal properties.
The recipe needed to be verified, and Ye Mo had no way to verify it, but Ye Mo knew that others had no way to verify it as well. His Dan recipe had little chance of success, but this Dan recipe he had organised was well-founded and he had written down the rationale for each of the medicines used very clearly.
At the same time, through this topic, Ye Mo could tell that the person who had asked the question did not necessarily need the Dan recipe to be 100% correct, what they wanted should just be the reason for coming up with this Dan recipe, and whoever had a good reason would get a high score.
The name of the Dan recipe Ye Mo came up with was ‘Weaving God Dan’, a fourth-grade spirit Dan recipe, which he wrote based on one of the fourth-grade spirit herbs, ‘Guiding God Gra*s’.
The ‘Guiding God Gra*s’ belonged to the fourth grade spirit herbs and had an important function, which was to strengthen the divine sense, but to the alchemist’s regret, this spirit herb could not be added to the pills. Therefore, the ‘Divine Inducing Gra*s’ could only be taken directly, and in that case, less than two tenths of it would be utilised, resulting in a large amount of waste.
And through his renewed comprehension of the ‘Illusory Cloud Blade Technique’, Ye Mo, based on his third blade, the ‘Illusory Cloud Flying Swirl Blade’, to control the spiritual energy, when refining the pills, the medicinal properties of the ‘Divine Drawing Herb’ were He divided it into several clusters, each with a swirl of aura controlled by his divine sense, and surrounded the refined ‘Divine Drawing Herb’ medicinal properties in the swirl. In this way, the medicinal properties of the ‘Divine Drawing Herb’ would not decompose, and the utilisation rate was even as high as over 80%.
However, the ‘God Weaving Pill’ recipe was one that he had worked out based on the ‘Illusory Cloud Blade Technique’, and if the ‘God Weaving Pill’ recipe was really feasible, then there was really no one other than him who could refine it If the formula for the ‘God Weaving Pill’ was really feasible, no one but him could really make it.
In order to refine the ‘Weaving God Pill’, one must firstly be a fourth grade Spiritual Pill Master, and secondly, one must also know the ‘Illusory Cloud Flying Sword’ technique, otherwise one would not know how to control the spiritual energy when refining the pills. The most important thing was that the alchemist’s divine sense had to be quite strong, otherwise there would be no talk at all.
After coming up with this dan recipe, Ye Mo also had great interest in trying it out.
One had to know that the ‘God Weaving Pill’ was a fourth grade pill, and it was also a pill that had something to do with divine sense. In the Cultivation Realm, generally as long as it involved a relationship with divine sense, it was a hard-to-find elixir for ten thousand gold. It was because there were the fewest divine sense pills in the Cultivation World that the ‘God Restoration Pill’ originally refined by Ye Mo was exceptionally precious.
The reason why the ‘God Restoration Pill’ was so precious was because not only were its medicinal ingredients far more precious than the ‘God Weaving Pill’, but its function was not only to repair the divine sense, but also to repair the divine soul, that was a third grade pill belonging to the heavenly cla*s. Whereas the ‘God Weaving Pill’ could only strengthen and simply repair the divine sense.
Ye Mo had just written up the recipe for the ‘God Weaving Pill’ when the official in charge of the examination announced loudly, “One incense burning time has arrived, please go to the competition area in the square and wait for the results.”
Ye Mo followed the others out and, listening to the chatter of the dan masters, knew that too many people had failed to answer this question. After all, forming a dan recipe based on herbs was too difficult, even if it wasn’t required for the recipe to work. What’s more, there were several herbs on there that many people had never seen before…
