"Oh? You've already become First-Transformation Alchemist? And you've even refined a first-level immortal pill. Not bad, not bad."
Elder Qingmu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a smile appeared on his face; this was an unexpected delight.
The Dao of Alchemy is the Dao of Creation of Heaven and Earth.
The Dao of Alchemy in the upper realm is unlike that in the lower realm. The so-called alchemy masters in the lower realm would be nothing more than Pill-Refining Apprentice in the upper realm. Here, only Alchemist can refine immortal pills can be considered true Alchemist.
The Alchemist's cultivation level progresses from the first to the ninth level, and each step is extraordinary. To refine high-level immortal pills, the alchemist's cultivation and understanding of Dao of Alchemy are also highly demanding.
Given the scarcity of resources in the lower realm, Han Xuanji to become First-Transformation Alchemist demonstrates his considerable talent and hard work in Dao of Alchemy.
"That's good, but seeing is believing."
"You shall go to the alchemy chamber in this hall, and refine a batch of your most skilled first-stage immortal pills. Let us see how well you've mastered the art."
He pointed to a stone door that opened at the back of the main hall, behind which was a well-equipped alchemy room with surging immortal fire.
"Your disciple obeys."
Han Xuanji remained calm, showing no sign of tension.
He needs to demonstrate some value; a decent First-Transformation Alchemist level, combined with the potential brought by his Double Pupils talent, is the most suitable positioning.
Although he had never practiced alchemy before, that doesn't mean he couldn't.
He has mastered all the alchemy techniques rewarded by the system. Although he is still at the level of First-Transformation Alchemist, he can be said to be extremely close to Second-Transformation Alchemist.
Han Xuanji entered the alchemy room.
In the center of the room was a crimson Pill Furnace, its walls inscribed with fire-controlling arrays, its quality far surpassing anything seen in the lower realms.
"This Pill Furnace should be of Low-Grade Immortal Artifact quality."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
Even the best Pill Furnace he found in the lower realm couldn't reach this level.
This also demonstrates the power of the upper realm, or rather, the power of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
On the jade shelf beside them were hundreds of processed common first-stage immortal pill materials, brimming with immortal energy and flowing with Daoist charm.
Han Xuanji glanced at the materials and already had a plan in mind.
He chose to refine a first-stage immortal pill called " Earth Immortal Essence-Nourishing Pill ". This pill is a basic pill commonly used by cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm to strengthen their foundation and enhance their cultivation. The difficulty of refining it is below average among first-stage immortal pills. The process is mature and stable, making it the least likely to make mistakes and the best way to demonstrate basic skills.
The method of refining it can be found in many alchemical texts.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, his expression solemn. He pointed a finger and poured a stream of pure immortal energy into the immortal fire array.
boom!
Three-colored flames rose, transforming into a gentle flame that enveloped the Pill Furnace.
He didn't deliberately reveal too much, but instead refined pills as an ordinary First-Transformation Alchemist.
Throughout the entire process, Han Xuanji was meticulous, her movements were fluid and standard, as precise as a textbook example.
There were neither any basic mistakes nor any exceptionally skillful maneuvers.
However, he used the insight of his Double Pupils to accurately grasp the best time of each node, but he also left a bit of "craftsmanship" in his operation, like a Alchemist with solid basic skills but lacking spiritual refinement.
Time passed slowly.
Outside the alchemy room, Elder Qingmu and many other elders from the Pill Lineage watched Han Xuanji's refining process through a projection on the cloud-shadow mirror.
"Smooth fire control, skillful technique, and precise timing... well, thanks to the Double Pupils, it's quite accurate."
A tall elder commented,
"To achieve the level of a Pill Immortal in the lower realm, one's fundamental skills are indeed solid, far surpassing those of many novice disciples."
The other elder nodded.
"The potential of the Double Pupils has not yet been truly revealed in Dao of Alchemy; currently, he appears to be at the level of a qualified First-Transformation Alchemist."
Elder Qingmu spoke slowly, his tone calm, revealing little emotion.
"Acceptable, nothing special. Given time, with guidance from Pill Lineage and his Double Pupils talent, his future achievements in Dao of Alchemy should be quite high. However, if he continues to rely on his Double Pupils, it's uncertain whether he can break through to the Sixth-Transformation Alchemist."
Upon hearing this, everyone thought to themselves, "Sixth level is not something an ordinary person can achieve."
Several hours later.
The room was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs. Han Xuanji changed his hand Method Formula and softly shouted, "Condense!"
The furnace lid opened, and three emerald green pills transformed into streams of light and flew out, which he then collected in a jade bottle.
The elixir was round and smooth, radiating a shimmering, precious light, with three distinct cloud patterns encircling its body.
The " Earth Immortal Essence-Nourishing Pill," a first-stage elixir, has been successfully produced; its quality is above average.
Han Xuanji carried the jade bottle out of the alchemy room and presented it to Elder Qingmu.
Elder Qingmu accepted the jade bottle and finally nodded slightly.
"Excellent. The medicinal properties are well-integrated, the heat is well controlled, and impurities have been thoroughly removed. This is indeed the level of First-Transformation Alchemist, with solid fundamentals."
He put the pill back, looked at Han Xuanji, and a gentle smile appeared on his face:
"As expected of someone with Double Pupils."
"Thank you, Elder!"
Han Xuanji made up her mind and bowed respectfully.
This "standard" evaluation was exactly what he wanted.
It demonstrated its value and gained recognition, but it didn't attract much attention.
"Hehe, young friend Han is exceptionally talented, and the gift of Double Pupils is even rarer throughout history. It is truly a blessing for my Pill Lineage to have him join my cultivation!"
An elderly man dressed in a crimson robe, with white hair and beard, spoke first. He was the True Person Yanyang of " Scarlet Yang Peak," and his voice was loud and clear, filled with enthusiasm.
"Our Scarlet Yang Peak specializes in fire refining techniques. The Pill Cauldron contains a trace of the Solar True Fire, which is most compatible with the ability of the Double Pupils to observe the subtle and control fire!"
If you come, young friend, I will impart all my knowledge to you, and even open the ' Nine Yang Secret Realm ' within the peak for you to refine your alchemical fire!
"Senior Brother Yan Yang, you are mistaken!"
A middle-aged woman with a gentle demeanor, dressed in a light blue Daoist robe, immediately chimed in; she was Fairy Bibo, an elder of " Mysterious Water Peak ".
" With Double Pupils, one can perceive the subtle details and discern the birth, death, and changes of all things. How can one be confined to the refining process of fierce fire?"
My Mysterious Water Peak is known for its water-based refining methods, which emphasize subtle and gradual application, allowing us to fully utilize the Double Pupils.
The ' Cold Jade Ice Spring ' within the peak is an excellent place to cleanse oneself of elixir poison and temper one's Divine Sense. If you choose my peak, young friend, you will surely achieve twice the results with half the effort!
Following closely behind, the Peak Master, such as " Azure Wood Peak " and " Sharp Metal Peak," also spoke up, each displaying their talents and using their eloquent tongues to describe the advantages of their own peaks in an extravagant manner.
For a moment, the main hall resembled an auction house, a far cry from the sacred celestial realm it once was, and Han Xuanji was the rare treasure that had everyone bidding against each other.
Han Xuanji remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.
He didn't need to choose.
As expected.
Just as the argument was escalating and the atmosphere was becoming slightly awkward, a calm yet authoritative voice rang out:
"Fellow disciples, please calm down."
" Han Xuanji, from this day forward, you are True Disciple my Purple Firmament Peak."
"Use your identity jade token to go to the ' Scripture Transmission Hall ' to receive the robes of True Disciple, your monthly allowance, and initial contribution points, and then choose your cave abode."
