182: High-grade pills, Divine Breaking Pill

"An Elder can only get three-tenths?"

Mo Tianxiao's face showed surprise. "Are Alchemists here so worthless?"

Shouldn't Alchemy rewards start at nine-tenths? It seems the Alchemists in the Central Divine Land lead quite a hard life.

When the Alchemists of his Demonic Sect performed Alchemy for others, how much reward they wanted depended entirely on their own ability.

Looking at these Alchemists on the Alchemy field with excited smiles on their faces, Mo Tianxiao fell into deep thought. Should he find an opportunity to kidnap all these Alchemists to the Demonic Sect?

"In addition, any Alchemist joining the Haoran Righteousness Sect for the first time can unconditionally choose a thousand-year Spirit Treasure as a reward.

An Alchemist Deacon can unconditionally choose a three-thousand-year Spirit Treasure.

An Alchemist Elder can unconditionally choose an eight-thousand-year Spirit Treasure."

"Awesome! The Haoran Righteousness Sect is so generous! I definitely came to the right place!"

"Getting a Spirit Treasure right after joining, the Haoran Righteousness Sect is truly willing to invest."

"With thirty people remaining, that means the Haoran Righteousness Sect has to give out at least thirty thousand-year Spirit Treasures. They're so rich."

As soon as Elder finished speaking, another uproar broke out.

Among the remaining thirty Alchemists, most were Nascent Soul or Golden Core Stage Cultivators, with only a small portion being Cultivators above Soul Transformation. A thousand-year Spirit Treasure was already precious enough for them, let alone the even better Spirit Treasures if they could pass the Deacon assessment.

Mo Tianxiao remained expressionless, even feeling a bit bored. He only wanted to know if the next round of testing could start sooner.

Thousand-year Spirit Treasures, the so-called thousand-year-old Heaven And Earth Treasures, were all just trash.

He had so many Spirit Treasures of this level that they couldn't even fit into several of his spatial rings, okay?

Why would he care about this one?

However, an eight-thousand-year-old Heaven And Earth Treasure was decent enough; he could take one just to have it.

Seeing that he had said enough, Elder waved his hand, letting the Disciples bring out two sets of medicinal ingredients and place them in front of the thirty contestants in order.

"Deacon assessment: refine an Advanced Medicinal Pill, the spirit breaking elixir!"

"Hiss!"

"Is the jump that big? Going directly from a low-level Medicinal Pill to an Advanced Medicinal Pill?!"

"I knew it. How could the position of Deacon in the Haoran Righteousness Sect be so easy to get? They have standards. Without the level of an Advanced Alchemist, don't even think about trying for the Alchemist Deacon position."

The spectators in the stands had expressions of schadenfreude; seeing others suffer was quite refreshing for them.

The faces of most of the thirty Alchemists instantly turned ugly after hearing Elder's words.

Many who had held onto a glimmer of hope thought that refining an Intermediate Medicinal Pill would earn them the Deacon position, but reality dealt them a heavy blow.

Elder had a kind smile on his face. "Contestants may choose to withdraw voluntarily. You may keep the medicinal ingredients on the table. Of course, those who wish to take the challenge may stay and continue."

As soon as these words were spoken, more than half of the people immediately quit while they were ahead, taking the ingredients and leaving the testing area.

They had a clear understanding of their own level. Some were only low-level Alchemists who had only passed the assessment by luck after refining a golden profound pill with Pill Veins.

Asking them to refine an Advanced Medicinal Pill now—wasn't that a joke?

Many of those who left were also Intermediate Alchemists, people who similarly had a clear understanding of their own level.

Only nine people remained on the field.

Some were Advanced Alchemists confident in refining the spirit breaking elixir, while others wanted to see if they could use this opportunity to Breakthrough to the level of an Advanced Alchemist.

Mo Tianxiao couldn't help but complain in his heart. They had only refined a low-level pill, and only nine people were left?

"The remaining Alchemists may begin refining the pills."

Elder's voice carried a hint of respect. The Alchemists who dared to stay were almost all confident in themselves.

He didn't know exactly what the level of these nine people was, but he was certain that in the future, these people would at least be Advanced Alchemists, and some might even be Advanced Alchemists already.

After Elder finished speaking, everyone began to work on refining the pills. Before many had even started, sweat was already beginning to bead on their foreheads, clearly indicating their skill was lacking.

Elder Jiu, standing in the front row, still looked calm and composed, with a confident air. His hand movements were flashy and intricate, making him look like a master of technique.

Meanwhile, Mo Tianxiao, standing in the farthest corner, used the same seemingly inferior technique as before. He used spiritual power to ignite the fire, raised the temperature, and then picked up the medicinal ingredients and threw them into the furnace as if he were just stoking a fire.

With only nine people left on the field, combined with Mo Tianxiao's stunning appearance, he gradually attracted more attention.

"Holy crap! Look what I found! Such a beautiful Fairy! How did I only notice her now?!"

"Hehehe, I noticed her a long time ago; I just didn't say anything on purpose."

"This Fairy's Alchemy technique seems a bit... uh..."

Hard to describe.

Although Mo Tianxiao's current appearance could be said to be flawless, his Alchemy technique also left one speechless.

It gave people the feeling that "I could probably do that too."

Of course, not everyone was ignorant. The three judges on the judging panel were no amateurs; they were genuine Top-tier Alchemists.

Especially after Mo Tianxiao had refined three golden profound pills with perfect Pill Veins in the first round, it was even more impossible for the three of them to ignore him.

A surprised smile appeared on Zhou Muxi's face. She had almost misjudged him; this fellow's Alchemy level seemed to exceed her imagination.

Elder's eyes held some doubt. "This girl's Alchemy technique has actually reached the level of Returning to Simplicity. Truly precious."

Alchemy technique doesn't represent an Alchemist's Rank, but it can definitely indicate an Alchemist's skill level.

To master such a pure Alchemy technique at such a young age—his potential is limitless!

Elder Gong also showed a look of gratification, his tone carrying a hint of regret. "It's a pity this precious Alchemist was snatched up by your Haoran Righteousness Sect."

Such a Genius Alchemist is extremely rare. His Alchemist Association wants him too. If the President were here, he'd probably end up fighting with the Vice President over him.

The pill is formed!

One after another, the nine Alchemists finished refining their pills. Three of them had their furnaces explode on the spot, the force sending them flying; they had clearly failed their attempt.

Among the remaining six, although four had refined the spirit breaking elixir, its appearance was very average and ordinary. Only one had refined a pill with faint Pill Veins.

This time, the three judges all stepped down to inspect the results of everyone's refining together.

"As expected of the only Top-tier Alchemist in the Qingming Dynasty. Truly impressive."

Elder and Elder Gong looked at the spirit breaking elixir with exquisite Pill Veins in Old Man Jiu's Pill Furnace, a hint of admiration rising in their eyes.

Clearly, they had heard of Old Man Jiu's reputation, but they didn't know why he had jumped from the Qingming Dynasty to the Haoran Righteousness Sect.

Given his Alchemy level, even if he went through the back door, the Haoran Righteousness Sect would probably make an exception.

Facing recognition from a Quasi-Saint Level Alchemist, Old Man Jiu also nodded with a polite smile.

Meanwhile, Zhou Muxi bypassed everyone and came before Mo Tianxiao in the farthest corner, a faint smile curling her lips. "I didn't expect Sister Nan to be so multi-talented, being an Alchemist as well."

Mo Tianxiao gave a calm smile and lowered his voice. "I also didn't expect that Sister Muxi would be a Core Elder of the Haoran Righteousness Sect. I wonder if Sister Muxi has any other surprising identities?"
