Chapter 207: Deacon’s Troublemaking, Alchemy Test (Subscribe!)

"I've met all the senior brothers!"

Although Chu Ning was a little surprised that there were nearly a hundred people in the Alchemy Pavilion hall, he still bowed his hands to everyone with calm expressions.

He Yanmao also vaguely felt at this moment that it was really inappropriate for everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion to mobilize forces like this.

A kind smile appeared on Hei's face and he said to Chu Ning:

"Junior Brother Chu, you have met several of our deacons before.

However, you haven’t met the other senior brothers and Qi Refining disciples yet. When they heard that you were coming, everyone wanted to come over and meet them. "

With that said, He Yanmao turned his head again and said to everyone:

"This is our new deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, Deacon Chu Ningchu."

Although everyone in the alchemy pavilion was also a little curious and surprised at Chu Ning's youth, they had heard some comments these days.

But after all, not everyone has Yuan Rongzhang's status and background, so most people are surprised.

There were some expressions on their faces, but they still held their hands and said:

"I've met Deacon Chu!"

Chu Ning bowed her hands in return, glanced at everyone, and then said:

"This is my first time here, Mr. Chu. I would like to ask all my colleagues to take good care of me in the future."

The politeness of his words somewhat surprised He Yanmao, who had known the temper of "Master Xiao" before.

However, he thought that "Master Xiao" had to completely change his identity, and with the understanding of his grudges, it seemed that his personality was no longer weird but was normal.

At this time, Yuan Rongzhang winked inadvertently, and suddenly an old man next to him who was about the same age as He Yanmao said:

"Junior Brother Chu, Geng Wansheng has something I would like to ask you for advice."

Chu Ning's eyes fell on Geng Wansheng who had opened his mouth, and he saw that he was also in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

This person looks thin, but the aura around him is stronger than that of an ordinary monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and he is vaguely about to enter the level of the late stage of foundation building.

"Senior Brother Geng, please speak."

Chu Ning spoke, and Geng Wansheng's eyes immediately looked over.

"To be honest with my junior brother, before this I also thought about applying to the sect for the position of deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion.

The sect has regulations on this, and the position of deacon requires more than just an intermediate-level alchemist.

Moreover, it can refine five kinds of intermediate and middle-grade elixirs in the sect with a yield rate of over 60%, and can refine ten kinds of intermediate and low-grade elixirs with a yield rate of over 80%. "

Hearing Geng Wansheng's words, Chu Ning was slightly stunned.

Indeed, he had never heard He Yanmao say such rules.

The requirement to be certified as an intermediate-level alchemist is to be able to refine intermediate-level elixirs with a yield rate of more than 60%.

But as long as one can be refined, it will be fine.

The deacon of the alchemy pavilion requires the ability to refine five intermediate-grade elixirs with a yield rate of over 60%, which is indeed a higher requirement.

At first glance, it seems easier to refine ten kinds of intermediate and low-grade elixirs with a yield rate of over 80%.

However, Chu Ning knew that this was only relative to him.

Ordinary alchemists, even intermediate-level alchemists, can generally only refine five or six familiar low-level and intermediate-level elixirs with a yield rate of over 80%.

After all, for elixirs of this level, the medicinal materials required are not ordinary.

It is difficult for alchemists to have a large amount of elixirs to practice with.

There are even some alchemists who are only proficient in refining one or two types of elixirs.

Seeing Chu Ning's expression, a strange color flashed in Geng Wansheng's eyes, and then he continued:

“But Geng is not good at alchemy, so he still falls short of both requirements.

Since Junior Brother Chu has been recognized by the elders of the sect as the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, he must have met this requirement. "

As soon as Geng Wansheng said these words, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion suddenly became rich.

We are all not stupid, so how could we not understand that Geng Wansheng was using this method to motivate his generals.

Chu Ning said calmly at this moment:

“Chu doesn’t know this rule.

Elder Gong has indeed seen the elixirs I refined, but he seems to have never seen so many kinds. "

"Wow!"

Hearing Chu Ning admit the matter personally, the scene was immediately in an uproar.

Those Qi refining disciples were fine, but some of the foundation-building monks had already spoken.

"Why do our sect's alchemy masters still have to abide by this rule, but others don't?"

"That's right, isn't this unfair to Senior Brother Geng and others?"

"We have all seen Senior Brother Geng's alchemy skills. If he can't be a deacon, how can anyone else be able to do it?"

…

For a time, there was a lot of commotion in the alchemy pavilion.

More than ten foundation-building monks looked at Chu Ning with unconvinced eyes.

Although those Qi Refining disciples did not dare to show such looks, they all had a hint of strangeness.

The deacons in front of Chu Ning also had different expressions.

He Yanmao looked slightly embarrassed, obviously feeling a little distressed that the situation was out of control.

Su Yuqing's face was quite calm, but she looked at Chu Ning with curiosity, as if she wanted to see how Chu Ning would deal with this situation.

The older Xu Minghua had no expression on his face.

As for Yuan Rongzhang, he looked at Chu Ning with a bit of amusement.

Chu Ning's face was calm at this moment. His eyes glanced at everyone, and finally fell on He Yanmao.

"Senior Brother He, since all the senior brothers have doubts about my alchemy skills, you might as well arrange a test."

He Yanmao was relieved when he heard that Chu Ning actually took the initiative to test.

He had seen Chu Ning's elixir and knew that the quality of the elixir refined by Chu Ning was not low.

As for whether Chu Ning could master the method of refining so many kinds of intermediate elixirs, he didn't know.

When He Yanmao himself invited "Master Xiao" to join, he didn't expect him to be a deacon.

This was because "Master Xiao" later refined the Foundation Building Pill, and Elder Gong made an exception.

The main reason for Chu Ning to join the Alchemy Pavilion as a deacon is to solve the problem of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, this elixir is still very important to the development of the sect.

Seeing Chu Ning take the initiative at this moment, He Yanmao knew that Chu Ning should be certain.

So, He Yanmao said directly:

"Okay, then let's ask Junior Brother Chu to refine some elixirs. It just so happens that we can also have some exchanges on alchemy techniques."

After saying that, He Yanmao said again:

"There are two alchemy rooms in this pavilion, which can be used by others to observe alchemy. There are all kinds of alchemy equipment inside, and there are forbidden protections so that they will not be disturbed.

Junior Brother Chu can go there to make alchemy, and all of us can observe and learn.

I don’t know what elixir Junior Brother Chu wants to refine, so I’ll have someone prepare some medicinal materials first. "

When Chu Ning and He Yanmao were talking, everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion was a little surprised.

Chu Ning actually offered to test it, which was obviously very confident.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

For a time, many people were muttering to themselves.

"Could it be that Deacon Chu's alchemy skills are really amazing and he can achieve such a high rate of alchemy?"

"If there is such an alchemy technique, our alchemy pavilion will indeed be greatly strengthened."

Of course, some people don't think so.

So, He Yanmao had just said this, and before Chu Ning had time to answer, Yuan Rongzhang had already spoken:

"Wait!"

Facing everyone's gaze, Yuan Rongzhang chuckled and said:

"Since Junior Brother Chu was brought in by Elder Gong, there must be no problem whether he is refining intermediate-level elixirs or intermediate-low-level elixirs."

Hearing Yuan Rongzhang's words, everyone present was slightly startled.

I don’t know what Yuan Rongzhang meant by this.

You know, this Yuan Rongzhang is a descendant of Elder Jindan in the sect. He is quite conceited and does not easily praise others.

And everyone present knew that in the past half month, the person who asked Chu Ning the most diligent questions was Yuan Rongzhang.

Because this person has always been quite concerned about Geng Wansheng not getting the position of deacon.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Rongzhang's words seemed extremely strange.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Yuan Rongzhang smiled and said:

“But I remember that the request from the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion was to refine the inherited elixirs in our Jiuhua Sect.

After all, he is the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion of our Jiuhua Sect, and the elixirs he refines must be suitable for the monks in the sect. "

After hearing Yuan Rongzhang's words, the eyes of many people present became subtle.

What he said is correct. After all, before this, most of the deacons of Jiuhua Sect's Alchemy Pavilion were monks of Jiuhua Sect.

The first thing they learned was the method of refining the Jiuhua Sect elixir.

So you won't encounter these problems.

And now that Yuan Rongzhang has proposed it, this purpose is naturally worthy of scrutiny.

He Yanmao frowned slightly at this time and said somewhat unhappily:

"Junior Brother Yuan, you are in a bit of trouble now.

Junior Brother Chu has just come to the sect not long ago, and has not yet been exposed to the alchemy technique in the sect.

How could he refine the inherited elixir of our sect. "

After hearing this, Yuan Rongzhang smiled and said:

"Then Junior Brother Chu can talk to Elder Gong whether it would be more appropriate to become a deacon after he becomes familiar with the alchemy skills of our Jiuhua Sect.

Otherwise, if our alchemy pavilion is unable to supply elixirs, and other pavilions ask, ‘Don’t you still have a deacon?’, we will not be able to answer, right? "

He Yanmao frowned, waiting to say something else.

Xu Minghua on the side suddenly interrupted:

"Senior Brother He, there is a compromise, and it doesn't necessarily require refining five or ten types.

You can let Junior Brother Chu take a look at our alchemy skills first, and choose one or two of the intermediate-level and low-level ones.

If Junior Brother Chu himself is sure to learn it and successfully refine it in a short period of time, then I believe that Junior Brother Chu can naturally refine the rest if he is given time. "

"Senior Brother Xu is right." Yuan Rongzhang immediately agreed.

"Why don't the four of us designate four kinds of elixirs? Junior Brother Chu will tell us a time. It doesn't matter if we wait any longer."

He Yanmao was hesitating slightly, but Chu Ning had already answered:

"I don't have any objections. I happen to be quite interested in the alchemy technique within the sect."

When he saw Chu Ning saying this, He Yanmao finally said after taking a look at Chu Ning:

"In that case, let the four of us choose four kinds of elixirs and give them to Junior Brother Chu first.

Junior Sister Su, please choose an intermediate-level elixir. "

Su Yuqing, who had been silent until now, nodded slightly. After thinking about it, he reached out and took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"Junior Brother Chu, this elixir is called Liushen Dan. It is an intermediate-grade elixir, mainly used to strengthen the spiritual consciousness.

It is one of the most popular elixirs among our Jiuhua Sect's foundation-building monks. It contains the required medicinal materials and the method of refining it. "

After a slight pause, Su Yuqing said calmly:

"The refining of this elixir is moderately difficult for intermediate-grade elixirs. Normally, seven pills can be refined in one furnace.

To achieve a 50% elixir formation rate, it still takes some effort. "

Chu Ning took it and scanned the jade slip with her consciousness.

Sure enough, I saw the prescription and refining method of the Six God Pills recorded in it.

The difficulty of this elixir lies in the fact that there is an herb called Ningshencao, which is extremely difficult to purify or dissolve.

In addition to certain requirements for fire control, there are also certain requirements for the use of spiritual consciousness.

Chu Ning just took a look and had a rough idea, then nodded and said:

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Su."

Just as Su Yuqing finished speaking, Xu Minghua also took out a jade slip and continued:

"I will choose an intermediate and low-grade elixir, Zijin Dan.

This elixir has the best healing effect among the intermediate and low-grade elixirs in our sect, and it happens to be in short supply in the pavilion. "

Chu Ning also took it. As an intermediate and low-grade elixir, this pill is naturally easier to refine than the Liushen Pill.

I saw that the elixirs chosen by Su Yuqing and Xu Minghua were all of the same elixirs that were moderately difficult to refine.

He Yanmao breathed a sigh of relief, while Yuan Rongzhang's eyes flickered slightly.

Obviously both of them saw that the other two deacons had no intention of specifically targeting Chu Ning.

At this time, Yuan Rongzhang took out a jade slip and said:

"Junior Brother Chu, as the deacon of our Jiuhua Sect, it would be great if we could refine the Jiuhua Condensing Pill..."

Upon hearing the name of Jiuhua Ning Yuan Dan, everyone's expressions became a little strange.

He Yanzong's expression changed, and Su Yuqing frowned slightly at this moment and said:

“Junior Brother Yuan, this Jiuhua Condensing Yuan Pill is the most difficult to refine among our sect’s mid-level pills.

The refining of this elixir requires special fire control techniques, which embodies the essence of our Jiuhua Sect's alchemy technique.

You actually asked Junior Brother Chu to learn the refining of this elixir in a short period of time, which is a bit overwhelming.

Even among the few of us, except for Senior Brother He, no one can guarantee that his elixir formation rate will exceed 50% every time. "

When Yuan Rongzhang heard this, he smiled and said:

"Because of this, I specially chose the Jiuhua Condensing Pill. Junior Brother Chu didn't mention it just now. I want to have more exposure to the alchemy skills of our Jiuhua Sect.

If Junior Brother Chu can learn this elixir refining technique, he will naturally have a deeper understanding of our Jiuhua Sect's alchemy refining technique. "

Speaking of this, Yuan Rongzhang looked at Su Yuqing and said slightly proudly:

"Junior brother is not talented. Recently, the success rate of this elixir has stabilized at more than 50%, and occasionally it can reach 60%.

Of course, Junior Brother Chu has just come into contact with me, so I don’t ask for the success rate.

As long as one can be refined in one furnace, I agree. "

Su Yuqing seemed a little surprised when she heard that Yuan Rongzhang actually stabilized the success rate of this pill at 50%, and did not answer the question for a while.

He Yanmao also shook his head and said: "Jiuhua Condensing Yuan Dan is still too difficult. Junior Brother Yuan, please try another one."

When Yuan Rongzhang heard this, he smiled again and looked at Chu Ning.

"Junior Brother Chu, I wonder if you are interested in giving it a try?"

Chu Ning faced the other party's slightly irritating words with calm eyes, but she sighed softly in her heart.

He is only the son of Gong Yuyuan's old friend on the surface. If he really wants to gain a foothold in the Jiuhua Sect's Alchemy Pavilion, he has to rely on himself.

Judging from the current situation, even if I am the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion, I will not be stable if I don't get everyone's approval.

This is completely different from Chu Ning's idea of ​​finding a large sect to obtain resources and practice stably at the same time.

In this case, he might as well use this to establish his authority.

Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches!

After these thoughts passed by, Chu Ning reached out and took the jade slip from Yuan Rongzhang's hand.

"Then I'll give it a try and learn the sect's alchemy skills."

As he spoke, Chu Ning also used his spiritual consciousness to investigate.

With just a brief glance, Chu Ning knew that what they said was true.

It is not easy to refine this Jiuhua Yuan Ning Dan.

The greatest effect of this elixir is to strengthen the body and strengthen the body's magic power.

In terms of effect, it is indeed only an intermediate-grade elixir, but it requires a special fire control technique to refine it.

Chu Ning guessed that this fire control technique should lay the foundation for the refining of more advanced elixirs in Jiuhua Sect.

Although this fire control technique seemed mysterious and unusual at first glance, Chu Ning felt relieved.

Although this technique is not exactly the same as some of the fire control techniques he learned from the Thunder Fire Sect's original spiritual elixir collection.

However, the principles have many similarities.

Moreover, in terms of complexity and mystery, it is simpler than some of the other methods.

Chu Ning has Wuhuo Spirit Body and Yuandan Spirit Body in hand, so it is not difficult to learn them.

The consciousness quickly withdrew from the jade slips, and Chu Ning saw the completely different expressions of everyone present.

Yuan Rongzhang was a little sarcastic in his pride, He Yanmao was a little confused, and Su Yuqing showed a hint of curiosity again.

As for Xu Minghua, his face was still expressionless, showing no emotion or anger.

As for the rest of the people behind, they were obviously watching the fun.

Chu Ning didn't think too much about everyone's thoughts. At this moment, her eyes fell on He Yanmao.

The first deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion also took out a jade slip from the storage bag at this moment, and then said:

"It's time for me to choose a low-level elixir, which is the Foundation Establishment Pill. Everyone is familiar with this elixir, so I won't introduce it in detail."

As soon as He Yanmao said these words, everyone present was stunned.

Everyone thought that with He Yanmao's personality, he would definitely choose a relatively simple pill to refine.

But unexpectedly, he directly chose the foundation-building pill.

You should know that the difficulty of refining this pill among the intermediate-level lower-grade pills is equivalent to the difficulty of Jiuhua Ningyuan Pill among the intermediate-level middle-grade pills.

It is absolutely difficult to achieve an 80% success rate.

Of course, Chu Ning also understood the intention of He Yanmao's choice.

Obviously, he knew that he had been able to refine the foundation-building pill before, so he found a pill with some basics for himself.

"Haha, good! Senior Brother He is really confident in Junior Brother Chu's alchemy skills."

After a little pause, Yuan Rongzhang laughed.

"Then let's go for these four pills. I wonder how long Junior Brother Chu will need to study the refining of these pills?"
