“Disciple has no questions.” Seeing that examiner look his gaze towards himself after he finished, Di Jiu hurriedly stood out and saluted and said.
Seeing Di Jiu say that there was no problem, both the three dan masters who came in with Di Jiu to take the test and the two examiners looked at Di Jiu in a strange way. The bearded cultivator’s eyes were even directly filled with ridicule. He had seen a lot of people like Di Jiu, he was just an expert with low eyes. When the questions came out, it would be a fool’s errand.
When Di Jiu said there were no questions, the examiner didn’t say any more nonsense, just nodded his head and with a wave of his hand five test papers fell into the hands of four people. The remaining three had one in their hands, but Di Jiu was the only one with two papers.
Di Jiu looked at the first paper in his hand, which had a hundred questions on it, including the identification of immortal spirit herbs, descriptions of the medicinal properties of some immortal spirit herbs, as well as combinations of dan recipes and so on.
The second test paper only had one question, the refining of the Xuan Yuan Dan. The Xuan Yuan Dan is a third-grade immortal elixir, with the main spirit herb being ‘rootless floating euryale’ and dozens of auxiliary spirit herbs. The Xuan Yuan Dan was also the most frequently and widely used of the three types of Immortal Pills, and was suitable for Immortal Monarchs to cultivate.
The remaining three only had the test paper for refining the Xuan Yuan Dan, and they only had to refine it within two hours to pa*s.
No wonder the remaining few people looked at themselves a little strangely, it was this first test paper all fully answered that would normally take more than two hours. Not to mention having to refine a furnace of Xuan Yuan Dan. Even for an ordinary Immortal Dan master, it would take nearly two hours to refine a Xuan Yuan Dan.
Di Jiu’s total time only added up to two hours, so it would be strange if others didn’t look at him strangely.
“The conditions for pa*sing the Third Grade Immortal Pill Master test are that at least a quarter of the Xuan Yuan Pills must be Medium Grade Immortal Pills, and no more than a third of the pills must be rejects. The score of the medicinal material theory test must be at least ninety, otherwise it will be ruled as failing.”
After the examiner on the left finished these words, he looked at Di Jiu again and said, “If you fail in the Pill Material Theory Test score, even if you pa*s the Xuan Yuan Dan that you have refined, you will not be able to pa*s the Third Grade Immortal Pill Master Examination.”
“Disciple understands.” Di Jiu said once again.
The remaining few people shook their heads speechlessly, “Normally to take the First Grade Immortal Pill Master Examination, you only need to reach eighty points in the theory test. Now that time is tight, the medicinal material theory still needs to be over ninety points, this is simply adding insult to injury.”
“The examination begins, and the time is now being counted.” The examiner waved his hand after finishing the rules, and the sand-leaking timer on the side began to leak downwards.
The remaining three people each walked towards a dan stove, which had the herbs for refining the Xuan Yuan Dan prepared beside it long ago.
Di Jiu could only walk to the other side and start answering the questions.
These questions were all extremely easy for Di Jiu, except for the last one, the combination of dan recipes. Di Jiu was different from others, some of the questions on this medicinal herb theory other dan masters might need to think for a long time before they could put down their pen. And as Di Jiu’s cultivation level increased, his understanding of the World Book was increasing. Although he hadn’t studied the World Book thoroughly, the parts he had studied were enough to deal with a mere third-grade Immortal Dan Master test.
In just half a pillar of time, Di Jiu had finished answering all the questions other than the combination of dan recipes.
The examiner said that the exam had to be ninety points to pa*s, and the test paper in Di Jiu’s hand only had one hundred questions. So Di Jiu had a preconceived notion that all the questions were one point and the full mark was one hundred. In fact, the first ninety-nine questions on this test paper were all one point, and the last Dan formula combination question was eleven points.
In other words, the full mark for this medicinal herb theory paper was one hundred and ten points.
The Dan Recipe Combination was a Formation Breaking Dan, and to be honest, it was the first time that Di Jiu had come across a Dan Recipe in the area of formation breaking.
According to the general idea, it would be a combination of an explosive elixir that would just blow up the spell formation. Whether it fitted the questioner’s intention or not, there would definitely not be any major problems with such a potion being refined. Because breaking the formation is just that, as long as it breaks open, what do you care what kind of elixir it is?
Di Jiu did not have such a combination, the meaning of the question was only to break a first grade immortal trapped formation, Di Jiu himself was a seventh grade immortal formation king, even if he used a pill to break a first grade immortal trapped formation, it was not necessary to use such an unusual means as a bursting pill.
Among the herbs given was the decision stone, a first grade immortal pill that could refine a strong self-exploding nature, but Di Jiu did not use the decision stone at all, instead he used the Mist Opening Herb as the main spirit herb and combined it to come up with a pill that exposed the heart of the trapped formation. This elixir, when excited with divine thought and immortal energy, would explode into a cloud of mist which, when dispersed, would clearly show where the heart of the trapped formation was located.
The reason why the Trapped Formation can trap a cultivator is because of the bindings only. If even the heart of the formation is exposed, the trapped formation can be split open by breaking the heart of the formation or putting it away, which is much easier than bursting the trapped formation.
It took Di Jiu half a column of incense to finish answering the two-hour test paper.
“Huh ……” the short fat examiner on the right, who had not said anything, saw that Di Jiu had finished answering the examination paper in just half a column of incense and let out a eek.
“This little fellow is fast in answering questions, I just don’t know how many marks he can get right.” The examiner on the left also gave a laugh.
The Dan Club examination was very strict, once the examination started, the examiner’s divine thoughts could not penetrate in to check the examination either. They could only use their eyes to see what the Dan masters taking the test were doing, and not to know how well they were doing.
After filling in his name, Di Jiu put the first test paper to the side and then walked over to the fourth dan furnace, he was going to refine the Xuan Yuan Dan.
At this moment, the other three had already started to remove the impurities from the Dan liquid in the furnace, and Di Jiu was in no hurry at all.
Di Jiu didn’t know how many furnaces he had made the Xuan Yuan Dan, even if he closed his eyes and didn’t use his divine mind, he wouldn’t make any mistakes. The only thing he had to consider now was not whether he could refine a Xuan Yuan Dan, but to try not to refine a multi-stripe Extraordinary Xuan Yuan Dan.
In a place like the Grand Ding Immortal City, it would definitely be unwise to reveal a level of dan dao that did not match his strength.
For a single Furnace Xuan Yuan Dan, Di Jiu didn’t even use half a pillar of incense. However, Di Jiu didn’t dare to do so all the same. He carefully cleaned the furnace, turned on the ground fire and then slowly put the herbs into the furnace, then pretended to check it over and over again.
Only after using up some of the time did Di Jiu start melting the herbs and purifying the medicinal liquid.
After a few minutes of work, Di Jiu rigidly simmered for almost an incense stick before he finished purifying the elixir liquid. Di Jiu possessed the World Book, and his physical body was made from a fragment of the Cosmic Tirth Membrane, and he had even mastered many basic laws. This kind of purification of medicinal herbs and medicinal liquid could achieve a purity that was infinitely close to 100 percent.
If it wasn’t for the high purity of his purified medicinal liquid, he wouldn’t have been able to refine a nine-stripe Extraordinary Immortal Pill that was almost free of dan poison.
At this moment, Di Jiu forced himself to purify the pills not so thoroughly, and even so, he had casually purified the pills’ medicinal liquid to 90%.
After the purification of the medicinal liquid was completed, Di Jiu began to condense the medicinal liquid, and the Dan skill became a Dan ……
Time went by little by little, for Di Jiu, this potion was the most torturous potion ever.
It was only when the time was almost two hours old that Di Jiu punched in the closing dan trick. Just as Di Jiu was about to bring out twelve Xuan Yuan Dan, he saw that the other three had brought out only nine at most. Scared, Di Jiu hurriedly and forcibly shattered two Xuan Yuan Dan and brought out ten Xuan Yuan Dan.
The Xuan Yuan Dan was a third grade Immortal Pill, and a full Dan was twelve.
Di Jiu had just filled the ten Xuan Yuan Dan into a jade bottle when the examiner on his left said, “Time is up, stop moving.”
A dan master who had not yet brought out his pills, a click shattered directly from the furnace. This dan master stood up with a pale face, and it was clear that he had failed.
Di Jiu handed in his two test papers and a jade vase, then sat on the side and waited.
The bearded man was happy, he had just brought out nine Xuan Yuan Pills, which was an over-performance for him.
Moreover, the Xuan Yuan Dan he had refined had four medium grade pills, and there were only three waste pills, not even a quarter of them.
“Zhang Pingtai did not refine a Xuan Yuan Dan within two hours, the score for this examination is zero, the examination is not pa*sed.” The examiner on the left declared in a flat tone.
Hearing this examiner’s words, a tall, thin man with a pale face stood up, bowed to the two examiners, and then retreated.
“Seven pills have been made by Berfei, and there are no medium-grade immortal pills, the examination has been failed.”
The grey-clothed dan master sitting next to the bearded man also stood up and bowed before retreating out, his face was much better than that of the tall, thin man before, it looked like he should have known that he was not going to pa*s.
“Jue Yan has refined nine Xuan Yuan Pills, four medium grade Immortal Pills, three spent pills, and the rest as many lower grade Immortal Pills as possible, pa*sing this examination, please come up to receive the third grade Immortal Pill Master identity card issued by the Dan a*sociation.”
Hearing the examiner’s announcement, the man with a full beard stood up excitedly and walked up in a few steps.
