Chapter 692 Deliberately Making Things Difficult
Opposite Qin Tian looked as usual when he heard this, and replied firmly:
"Thank you, Junior Brother Chongqing, for reminding me, but Qin decided to give it a try!"
Seeing that Qin Tian had made up his mind, Chongqing just shook his head and sighed, then said no more and led the way towards the depths of the valley.
Not long after, the two entered a deep and hot cave, descended vertically about a thousand feet along the cave passage, and arrived at a huge underground palace.
I saw that many fire chambers were separated inside the underground palace, many of which were closed. It was obvious that someone was refining elixirs.
And because it is close to the underground fire veins, the stone walls around the underground palace show a strange dark red color, and the temperature is even higher to an exaggerated level. If an ordinary person comes here, he is afraid that he will be roasted on the spot in an instant. Ripe.
But this harsh environment is almost the same as heaven for the fire attribute monks. In addition, there are many people who come here to seek elixirs and refine medicines, so the entire underground palace seems quite lively.
And Qin Tian has all five elements of spiritual roots, and can transform the true energy in his body at will, so naturally there will be no abnormal color revealed.
Chongqing on the side noticed this and couldn't help but nodded secretly, and was about to say something.
But at this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from one of the fire rooms not far away:
"You brat, I asked you to go to the elixir hospital to pick a few elixirs. What are you doing here? If you delay the elixir condensation period, I will not take it lightly!"
While he was talking, the stone door of the fire room slowly opened, and an old man in red robe with a beard, flat nose and wide mouth walked out.
And look at how strong this person's cultivation is, he has actually reached the late stage of the Golden Core!
Seeing this situation, Chongqing couldn't help but look embarrassed. He quickly bowed and explained, and at the same time secretly introduced to Qin Tian:
"This is my mentor, Master Hou Yi of the Alchemy Hall. He has now reached the pinnacle of the alchemy master level."
After hearing this, Qin Tian naturally did not dare to be negligent, and quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands and said politely:
"I, Jin Xuanfeng Qin Tian, have met senior brother Hou Yi!"
At the same time, Hou Yi, the real person opposite, obviously knew Qin Tian's intention, but in addition to the look of surprise, his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain.
Although the Alchemy Hall is now in decline and no alchemy master has been born for many years, he, Hou Yi, is the master of the Alchemy Hall and is the most promising person to be promoted to a master, so he always has a high self-esteem.
It would be fine if he were an ordinary person, but Qin Tian, as the elder of Jin Xuanfeng, came to the Alchemy Hall to test his identity as an alchemist. His purpose was self-evident, and it was obvious that he was going there to offer a large reward for his contribution.
In the eyes of his master, Hou Yi, this kind of behavior is tantamount to taking away people's jobs and ruining the place. It is simply extremely bad!
Because of this, Hou Yi's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile:
"It turns out that it was Elder Qin who was disrespectful and disrespectful in person! I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qin is so elegant and wants to study the art of alchemy. I just don't know which level of Alchemist identity Junior Brother plans to test?"
When Qin Tian heard this, he had no intention of hiding anything and said bluntly:
"To be honest, I have some experience in the art of alchemy, and I plan to directly test the identity of the alchemy master!"
As soon as these words came out, Chongqing on the side was suddenly shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
After all, according to his guess, Qin Tian came here to test the identity of an ordinary alchemist at most, but he never expected that the latter would have such a huge appetite!
Is this due to self-confidence, or is it the fear of those who don’t know?
Master Hou Yi, who was standing by, couldn't help being slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, and the sarcasm in his eyes became even more intense.
It should be noted that the art of alchemy is extensive and profound. If you want to reach the level of an alchemy master, even those with extraordinary talents must spend a lot of time and study hard.
However, Guan Qintian's body is extremely pure, but there is no scent of elixir at all. It is obvious that he is not a person who has been immersed in this way for a long time.
Because of this, Master Hou Yi didn't have a good face at all this time, and said sarcastically without politeness:
“Since Elder Qin has such ambitions, Hou Mou will naturally have no objection.
However, I have something to say first. The many elixirs required to test the identity of an alchemy master are quite rare. If they fail and are damaged, all losses will be borne by Elder Qin himself.
If the furnace explodes due to careless operation, Elder Qin will also need to compensate for the loss of the fire room in my alchemy hall! Do you have any objections? "
Sensing the sarcasm behind his words, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown secretly, but he didn't show it. Instead, he politely raised his hands and said:
"I have no objection, but I don't know what kind of elixir needs to be refined for this alchemist's assessment?"
After hearing this, the corners of Hou Yi's lips raised slightly, and he said in a rather solemn tone:
"In order to ensure the efficiency of completing the bounty mission and to reduce the loss of the sect's elixir, our alchemy hall has always been extremely strict with the alchemy assessment. Therefore, if you want to obtain the status of an alchemy master, you must refine a furnace of "Qingxin Jade Dew Pill" and produce it. The pill rate reaches 30%!”
As soon as these words came out, Chong Qing, who was standing respectfully next to him, could not help but change his face slightly, and he had obviously noticed something was wrong.
After all, this "Pure Heart Jade Dew Pill" has the effect of consolidating cultivation and condensing true energy. It is the most difficult pill to refine among the pills used by monks in the Golden Pill stage. Even for senior alchemy masters, the chance of failure is very low. Scary high.
For example, Chongqing himself, now refining the "Qingxin Jade Dew Pill", can barely reach a 20% pill yield rate.
What's more, according to the past practice of the Alchemy Hall, and even the standards of the entire Kyushu Immortal Cultivation World, one only needs to refine the simplest "Pure Yang Pill" to be respected as an alchemy master.
Therefore, Hou Yi's behavior is obviously suspected of deliberately making things difficult.
However, as a disciple, he naturally could not dismantle his master in person, so he could only secretly wink at Qin Tian and signal the latter to give up the assessment, so as not to lose a precious material in vain.
However, seeing this situation, Qin Tian looked as usual.
Probably because he has the mysterious pendant in his hand, there is no difference in his eyes whether it is the "Qingxin Jade Dew Pill" or the "Pure Yang Pill", as long as he does his best to ensure that the furnace is not exploded!
It's just that in the face of such difficulties, he was still a little unhappy, but he didn't show it at all. Instead, he continued to pretend to be stupid and said:
"I have no objections, just follow the orders of Senior Brother Hou Yi!"
Hearing this, Master Hou Yi's eyes became even more sarcastic, and he immediately waved his hand towards Chongqing and said:
"Hurry and get a copy of the "Qingxin Jade Dew Pill" elixir, and also get the best spiritual spring water. Don't be stingy. All elixirs are of the highest quality!"
The latter couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this, and quickly walked towards a large hall on the side, and soon took out more than ten exquisite jade boxes.
Qin Tian didn't hesitate when he saw this. He immediately waved his sleeves and took out the alchemy furnace that had been used for many years, intending to start refining the elixir on the spot.
However, upon seeing this, Master Hou Yi on the side had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and then he quickly said in an upright and awe-inspiring voice:
"Wait a minute! Junior Brother Qin is an elder of Jinxuanfeng, how can he use such a low-quality alchemy furnace to refine alchemy? Chongqing, please take Elder Qin to the sky-shaped fire room and use a magic weapon-level alchemy furnace!"
