The bald old man slowly walked to the front of the alchemy room, glanced at Jiang Chen with a deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you are hiding very deeply, even I've misunderstood!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and naturally it was difficult to answer his words, so he just shrugged and made a helpless expression.

The middle-aged scribe and middle-aged beautiful woman first crossed the elixirs and took out the elixirs made by Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang on both sides. Zhang Yong refined a elixir, and Lin Yushang refined two elixirs.

However, after carefully observing the quality and luster of the elixir, he believed that Zhang Yong's elixir was higher than Lin Yushang's elixir, but in terms of the success rate of elixir, Lin Yushang was twice as high. In terms of calculation, Lin Yushang was slightly better.

Therefore, the three examiners unanimously agreed that both of them met the standards of a first-level low-level alchemist. They can pass the level!

After hearing their words, Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang both breathed a long sigh, and their faces were filled with joy. They could finally become a formal alchemist and wear the alchemist badge.

After checking Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang's elixirs, the three examiners went to Jiang Chen's elixir room together. The bald old man, Master Ouyang, picked up the jade slip on Jiang Chen's platform. Seeing the words on it, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Bingqing Pill?"

The middle-aged literati and middle-aged beautiful woman also changed their faces slightly, and she said in surprise: "This is a more difficult part of first-level elixirs. It's not easy for this kid to refine it! Especially since his cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation building. I am afraid that many alchemists in the middle stage of foundation building may not be able to refine it once ten times!"

When Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang heard the name of Bingqingwan, they shook their heads helplessly, and admired Jiang Chen very much.

It doesn’t matter how hard he looks at his cultivation and age, just looking at the difficulty of the pill recipe is much harder than the two of them.

After Master Ouyang checked the pills, Fang Dawei exclaimed: "Jiang Chen, you little guy is quite capable. You can even refine three pieces of Bingqing Pills smoothly, which may not be possible for a second-level alchemist! And your cultivation is in the early stage of foundation building! It's really shocking!"

At this time, he changed his previous disdain and his attitude towards Jiang Chen was extremely good.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly. He understood that in this world, if you want others to respect you, you must have the same ability than ordinary people, whether in the Demon Sect or the Right Way, whether within or outside the Sect.

And alchemy is one of the very eye-catching skills.

"Oh, what a pity! You are in a small sect like the Heavenly Demon Sect. If you come to my Dan Alliance, I will definitely train you specifically!" Master Ouyang couldn't help but sigh.

The Demon Sect is quite taboo about poaching people. Moreover, as a neutral cross-state force, the Dan League has a transcendent status in the Demon Sect. When they dig out a disciple of a second-rate sect, they will be laughed at by others.

Master Ouyang took out two red badges from his arms that looked like a elixir pattern, with a glittering red red badge, with a star on it. It seemed to be the badges of a first-level alchemist.

"Congratulations, Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang, you both passed the first-level alchemist assessment! Based on your performance, you will now be awarded the badge of the first-level low-level alchemist!"

After saying that, Master Ouyang handed two badges to Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang. Both of them smiled. After taking the badges, they hurriedly put them on their chest lapels.

Then, Master Ouyang took out another badge, which looked similar to the one sent to Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang. The only difference was that there were three stars on it.

"Jiang Chen, you have refined three Bingqing Pills. According to the rules of the alchemist assessment, you have reached the level of a first-level alchemist, so you are awarded the first-level alchemist badge!" Master Ouyang said with a smile, and then handed the badge to Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen did not take the badge, but asked carefully: "This... Master Ouyang. I wonder what pill is being refined when the second-level alchemist is assessed?"

Master Ouyang, who was still smiling, the other two examiners, and Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang, who had not left, all looked suddenly dull and stared at Jiang Chen with astonishment.

If it was a bit surprising that Jiang Chen was admitted to the first-level top-level alchemist as soon as he participated in the assessment just now, he would be completely shocked to ask for the second-level alchemist assessment.

You should know that although theoretically, all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can become second-level alchemists, the difficulty of the second-level alchemist assessment is much more difficult than that of first-level alchemists. Not only is the quality of the elixir, but the materials are much more expensive. The grasp of the temperature and the control of the timing of the elixir production have put forward high requirements. Many alchemists only pass the second-level alchemist assessment in the Golden Elixir stage.

There are not many people who become second-level alchemists with their foundation-building cultivation, but that is at least the late stage of foundation-building, or even the Great Perfection of Foundation-building. Like Jiang Chen, who can refer to it in the early stage of foundation-building, it can be said that there are almost no ones. Even if there is, it is often the behavior of some people being hot-headed and overestimating themselves.

"Jiang Chen, the requirements of the second-level alchemist are much higher, so don't be too confident. Moreover, the registration fee for the second-level alchemist is 10,000 spirit stones! This is not a small number for the foundation-building cultivator, you have to think clearly!" Master Ouyang frowned and reminded. His original good impression of Jiang Chen suddenly dropped a lot, and he felt that this young man was too arrogant.

"Oh, it's okay! I just want to try it. If I fail, forget it! As long as I accumulate experience!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly. After he killed Wang Feng, he already had more than 100,000 spirit stones. It doesn't matter if he used up 10,000. Moreover, he really doesn't want to go to Xiangyang for the exam anymore. It would be better to finish the exam in one go.

"You really want to participate in the second-level alchemist assessment?" Master Ouyang and two colleagues looked at each other, and then asked again.

"Yes! I think, I should have a chance to succeed!" Jiang Chen said with a calm expression. He has also refined some second-level elixirs, such as Qi Gathering and Qi Condensing Dispersion, etc. to improve the cultivation of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although the chance of success is not as high as the first-level elixir, five elixirs may not be able to succeed one.

"Okay! Then we will conduct the second-level alchemist assessment immediately. You go and prepare the materials!" Master Ouyang said with a look of surprise.

"But... it's getting dark, and I'm about to get off work!" the middle-aged female cultivator said hesitantly.

"It's okay! Just work overtime!" Master Ouyang said without hesitation.

He is the vice president of the Jingzhou branch of the Dan League, and the president is old and weak. He has long since disappeared from the Dali branch. There has been rumors from the headquarters that he wants to replace this person. If he discovers a talented alchemy character at this time, it will be a great achievement if he reports it. It will add a lot of points to him as the president of the branch. How could he miss this opportunity?

The two examiners quickly flashed into the side door, which was the staircase leading upstairs, and the second-level alchemist's assessment was on the second floor.

Now, Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang, who had originally planned to leave, refused to leave. They also had to wait on the spot, wanting to see if Jiang Chen could pass the second-level alchemist qualification assessment in the end.

Not long after, the two examiners came down from the second floor again, sweating profusely and reported to Master Ouyang: "Vice President, the second-level alchemist assessment has been prepared, and the test can be started at any time!"

"Okay!" Master Ouyang nodded, then turned his head to Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Chen, let's go! Follow me to the second floor!"

Jiang Chen nodded. Then he followed Master Ouyang and slowly walked up the stairs on the second floor. His figure quickly disappeared from Zhang Yong and Lin Yushang's sight.

"It seems that I am too immersed in the sky! I think I am a person with very good alchemy skills. Now I realize that there are too many geniuses in this world!" Zhang Yong thought to himself.

Lin Yushang, who had a beautiful appearance and skin that was better than snow, also bit his teeth and looked at Jiang Chen, who was standing with his hands behind his back. He muttered in his heart: "This monk heard that it seems to be from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Could such an excellent alchemy talent be produced in the Han Dynasty where zombies and ghosts are everywhere?"

Three hours passed, but Jiang Chen and others did not come down.

Six hours passed, not only Jiang Chen, but also Master Ouyang and two other examiners, did not see anyone coming down.

This made Lin Yushang and Zhang Yong a little restless. The alchemist qualification examination was limited to six hours, no matter how many levels of alchemist they were. But why did there not be any movement?

It was not until eight hours passed that Master Ouyang and two examiners surrounded Jiang Chen and walked down the stairs. But in front of Jiang Chen's chest, there was an orange alchemist badge with a golden star on it.

The badges of alchemists are exactly the same, but the only difference is its color and the inlaid stars. Red is the color of the first-level alchemist, and orange is the color of the second-level alchemist. One star represents a low-level alchemist, two stars represent a medium-level alchemist. Three stars represent a high-level alchemist.

Now the other orange one-star badge on Jiang Chen’s chest clearly proves that he is a second-level low-level alchemist.

"Ah! He has really become a second-level alchemist? Although he is only a second-level low-level alchemist, it is quite amazing! At least in our sect, the Uncle Xuanyuan, who is known as the number one alchemist in the E Kingdom, was only a first-level mid-level alchemist in the early stage of foundation building. Doesn't this mean that Jiang Chen is much stronger than Uncle Xuanyuan?" Zhang Yong couldn't help but murmured.

He was described as the person with the strongest alchemy talent in the Demon Sect, which made him quite satisfied, but now he is really ashamed of himself when compared with Jiang Chen.

"Brother Jiang, I am Zhang Yong from the Demon Sect. If you have time in the future, you can come to Hubei Country for fun. Let's have more communication!" He immediately walked forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Okay! I will definitely visit Brother Zhang when I have time!" Jiang Chen replied hurriedly.

"Okay! Then let's exchange the marks! When you arrive at the Great E City, the capital of E Kingdom, you can send me a message of notes and I'll pick you up!" Zhang Yong took the opportunity to beat the snake and said with a stick.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, but finally agreed. After all, Zhang Yong had no serious conflict with him, and the name of the sect where he was located should be a sect that mainly uses demon cultivation techniques. Maybe he would find suitable demon cultivation techniques in the future and ask for him.

So, the two exchanged marks. Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Zhang Yong hurriedly said goodbye after asking how to get to the Tianmo Sect. It seemed that he had something to do.

Just as Jiang Chen made a series to Master Ouyang and the other three and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure in front of him.

Jiang Chen looked closely and found that it was Lin Yushang. The beautiful and delicate girl of the Lin family blocked her way. Her pretty face showed a warm smile and said, "Brother Jiang, the little girl wants to represent the Lin family, one of the three major families in Xiangyang City, to invite Brother Jiang to become the trick of my Lin family. I wonder if Brother Jiang can appreciate her face?"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen was a little stunned and thought to himself that what he had expected before was indeed accurate. It seemed that Lin Yushang was really from the Lin family in Xiangyang.

After his eyes rolled, he smiled slightly and said, "Ms. Lin looked down on Jiang so much, which really made Jiang flattered. However, Jiang was originally a disciple of the Demon Sect of the Han Kingdom and did not want to leave the sect, so I appreciated Miss Lin's kindness, but I really couldn't be the trick of the noble family!"

After hearing this, Lin Yushang said without any anger: "Actually, I know that Brother Jiang is a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and he must be highly valued by the teachers in the Heavenly Demon Sect. This time, Yushang sincerely invited Brother Jiang to be my family's trick. In fact, you don't need to leave the Heavenly Demon Sect. You just have a name for my Lin family. Not only does it not require you to do things, but there is a batch of spirit stones to take every year. Moreover, if Brother Jiang intends to enter the Yiling Cave Palace, it is even more necessary to become my Lin family's trick!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed: "Didn't it mean that any monk can enter when the Yiling Cave Mansion is opened?"

"Haha, it seems that Brother Jiang only knows one thing, not the other!" Lin Yushang smiled slightly and said, "Although the Yiling Cave was introduced by major sects in Jingzhou in ancient times, I was conquered by my Lin family, Wang family and Shui family. When the cave was opened every hundred years, I agreed to let all the monks enter. However, many people don't know that the Yiling Cave is divided into two layers inside and outside. Ordinary monks can only enter the outer layer. If you want to enter the inner layer, you must be the talents of my three major families."

Speaking of this, she explained: "In addition to the direct and side-line children of my three major families, only monks who marry the direct children of my three major families can enter the inner palace. The inner palace has many more treasures than the outer palace. If Brother Jiang wants to achieve greater gains, it will be your best choice to become the Lin family's Gui!"

After saying that, Lin Yushang talked about how well the Lin family treated Gui, and the Lin family's strength ranks first among the three major families... The implication is that only by following the Lin family can Jiang Chen get the greatest gain.

After thinking for a while, Fang said loudly: "Thank you Miss Lin for your kindness! Let's do this! Anyway, there is still a week before the Yiling Cave Mansion is opened. Please consider it again. In a few days, how about Jiang's answer to Miss Lin?"

"Then... OK! You can come to the Lin family compound to find me directly and tell my name to the servants at the door!" Lin Yushang had no choice but to nod and agree.

After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Jiang Chen turned into a light and headed towards the Shui family. After he reported his name, the Shui family's guard immediately said with a respectful look: "It turns out to be Mr. Jiang. The eldest lady and the second lady had already given instructions, saying that if you come, you will immediately lead you to the conference hall. Please come with me!"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that the discussion hall should be the place where the Shui family discussed something important, how could he let a guest go there?

However, no matter how confused he was, he quickly followed the guard, walked through several courtyards, and headed towards the depths of the Shui family courtyard...
Chapter completed!
