I just want to be a quiet man

Page 244

When his thoughts turned, Tu He had mixed feelings, but he quickly calmed down, glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the room, and said in a deep voice: "The time is up, the county examination can begin."

※※※

In the wide hall, after some greetings.

Many alchemists greeted Pei Ling, and returned to their seats one after another.

Pei Ling also found a place to sit down, and began to close his eyes to meditate, and was about to clean himself up, but the sound transmission from other alchemists kept ringing in his ears: "Fellow Daoist Wang, I don't know that your life-defying pill, a thousand hits! Pin Lingshi, will you sell it or not?"

"Fellow Daoist, I have a chance for a fourth-grade real pill here, and I'm willing to exchange it for a life-defying pill, how about it?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you still want the alchemy formula? Five copies of the alchemy period alchemy formula, in exchange for the life-defying alchemy formula..."

Hearing these sound transmissions, Pei Ling frowned. When he participated in the second alchemist trade fair, he took out two pills that were rebellious.

One of them was sold to Tu He in public, but the other one has never been traded.

Therefore, these alchemists who knew him now are all bidding for the undealed pill that was not traded.

Of course, if these people can come up with enough resources in exchange, Pei Ling is also very happy.

After all, under the trusteeship of the system, the Rebellion Pill is not very valuable to him.

It's just that the prices offered by these alchemists are too low!

So after listening for a while, he ignored all of them.

At this time, several monks wearing the official robes of the Liugai Dynasty walked to the front seat of the Guang Hall, and the leader picked up the golden hammer at hand, and lightly beat the next jade chime.

The clear and clear sound of the chime spread throughout the hall in an instant. The sound of the chime seemed to carry a strange power, making the originally noisy crowd quiet.

Pei Ling felt his mind suddenly clear, as if some dust had been blown away.

I just heard the official in charge say loudly: "The next official, Dou Zhuang, is the order of the hundred workers in the county and the government."

"Thanks to all the alchemists who came to participate in the county test today, Meiyang County is full of splendor!"

"In order not to waste time, let's make a long story short."

"The county examination starts from now on, one person, one room, and an individual assessment."

"Because of the limited number of examiners, there will be one match for every [-] alchemists."

"After the assessment is over, please wait for five days in the county town."

"Within five days, the ranking will come out, and those who pass can come to the Baigong Yamen to receive the county examination reward."

"At the same time, the teleportation array will also be opened for all alchemists, sending you to the imperial capital."

"The following officials will talk about the rewards for the county examination."

"The leader of this county rewards Master Chongzhi with a seventh-grade alchemy furnace, one of the magic spells and magical powers in the secret library of the dynasty, in addition to many alchemy recipes, medicinal materials, natural treasures and spiritual stones. "

"The second to No.5 in this county will award one method of the imperial secret library, three prescriptions for pills, some spiritual stones and medicinal materials, and a certain amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"No. 6 to No. 10, one of the common spells of the Dynasty, one of the pills, and some of the spirit stones and herbs."

"Starting from No.10, some spirit stones and medicinal materials will be rewarded."

After listening, Pei Ling nodded slightly.

Five days, only five days, you can take the reward and teleport to the imperial capital, and then you can escape thousands of miles away!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling better.

At this moment, there was another chime sound.

Immediately, I heard Dou Zhuang say: "The thirty alchemists sitting at the front please enter."

So the thirty alchemists in front of the hall immediately got up and walked towards the small door signaled by Dou Zhuang.

Seeing that it was not his turn in the first round, Pei Ling closed his eyes again and continued to rest his mind.

At this moment, perhaps because most of the alchemists were nervous because the county examination had started, no one communicated with him anymore.

Two hours later, Dou Zhuang picked up the golden hammer and knocked on the jade chime again, saying: "Please enter the alchemist for the second round."

Pei Ling got up, and together with the other 29 alchemists, they filed into the small gate.

After entering through the small door, there is an extremely long corridor, with fish ponds on both sides, and lotus leaves on the pond surface. After passing through the fish pond, there is a row of houses.

A number is hung on the door of each house.

There were several servants in Tsing Yi guarding outside the house. When they saw them coming, they took out a stack of number plates and began to distribute them: "All alchemists, enter the house according to the number plate. They are not allowed to change or whisper... Enter the door as soon as possible, the assessment will start immediately .”

The alchemists were quickly arranged into rooms. Pei Ling looked at the number plate in his hand and quickly opened the corresponding door.

As soon as he entered, he saw Tu He, the chief examiner, sitting impressively inside.

Seeing Pei Ling, Tu He nodded slightly, and calmly said: "You are a fifth-rank alchemist, among the hundred craftsmen, only the old man is qualified to be your examiner."

Pei Ling respectfully said, "I'm sorry, old man Tu."

He had a good impression of this old butcher.

After all, the other party gave him a lot of advantages.

Tu He motioned him to turn his head and look at the long case against the wall behind him. There were hundreds of medicinal materials on it, and a jade slip in the middle.

"Among the jade slips are the exam questions for this county exam." Tu He said slowly, "You have a total of ten chances to open the furnace. Every furnace must have at least one high-grade pill."

"It will be completed within two hours."

Pei Ling nodded and said, "Okay."

He was certain that the system notification tone did not sound, which meant that the system had already recorded all the prescriptions in the Jade Slip.

And as long as it is a pill that has been included in the system, he has refined it all during this period, and he is clear about the length of time required for refining, so there is no need to worry about accidents!

Thinking of this, Pei Ling walked over, picked up the jade slip and looked at it carefully.

Soon, he discovered that there were ten different pill recipes recorded in the jade slips, and these pill recipes were all bought by him at the previous two alchemy trade fairs!

According to Tu He's request, at least one high-grade medicine should be refined in each furnace, that is to say, each kind of elixir has only one chance to open the furnace, and at least one high-grade medicine must be produced!

It's simply too simple.

Therefore, after reading the jade slips, Pei Ling immediately took out the golden jade lion camel and mandarin duck vase furnace that Tu He temporarily lent him, and after that, he unsealed a poison pill in his body, and silently said in his heart: "System, I want to practice! One-click hosting [Alchemy · Soul Purification Pill]."

"Ding dong! The intelligent cultivation system will serve you wholeheartedly! One-click trusteeship, smart upgrade! Now start trusteeship training, intimate reminder: During the training period, the host will lose control of the body, please don't panic..."

Accompanied by the notification sound from the system, Pei Ling quickly ignited the cold marrow fire and started alchemy...

Chapter 194: Zhou Miaoli enters the arena.

Seeing this, Tu He immediately became serious.

Although the questions in the county examination this time are not of special medicines, but within two hours, ten different medicines have to be refined, and each furnace must have a high-grade medicine... Without a solid foundation in alchemy, even a seventh-rank alchemist would not be able to pass this level!

"There are only two hours, and alchemists who are not as strong may not have time to refine ten kinds of elixirs."

"It's better. It's barely possible to refine it. But if you want to ensure that every furnace produces high-grade pills, it still depends on your performance on the spot and your previous accumulation."

"Although the assessment rules for seventh-rank alchemists are to be able to steadily refine high-grade pills, they are refining the same kind of pills."

"It's completely different from refining ten different pills in a short period of time!"

"However, this Wang Gao is a fifth-rank alchemist, so there must be no problem."

Thinking of this, Tu He saw that Wang Gao had already started to process the medicinal materials and put them into the furnace. Whether it was the method of alchemy or the control of the alchemy fire, they were all straightforward and impeccable.

After only reading the beginning, Tu He was immediately sure that this kid's alchemy technique was no less than his own!

Even, in some details, the processing is more precise and smooth!

The exam questions of this county test are not difficult for the other party!

Soon, Tu He's idea was confirmed.

It only took about a stick of incense for Pei Ling to finish refining the first batch of elixir.

After opening the furnace lid, there were twenty soul-clearing pills quietly lying on the bottom of the furnace, all of which were top quality!

Even though Tu He thought he hadn't underestimated Wang Gao, he couldn't help but be surprised. This Wang Gao, with such a fast alchemy speed, could guarantee that the alchemy would be the best? !

Immediately afterwards, he saw Wang Gao start refining the second furnace...

In less than an hour, Pei Ling had finished refining ten batches of pills, and each batch was top quality!

Tu He held the teacup in his hand, unable to recover for a long time.

He had expected that Wang Gao would be able to pass the county test, but he did not expect that the way the other party passed was so amazing!

Even if Tu He is currently refining ten furnaces of different pills within two hours, although he can guarantee that each furnace will produce top-quality pills, it is impossible for the whole furnace to be full of pills like Wang Gao. Excellent!Ten furnaces, such furnaces!

After being stunned for a long time, Tu He finally came back to his senses. He looked at Wang Gao in surprise, and then said in a deep voice, "Wang Gao, passed the county test."

Then he signaled Pei Ling to bring the jade document to him, and after pinching his fingers into a few spells, he took a vermilion pen from the side and signed his name.

Then he warned, "You already have the qualification to go to the imperial capital. As for the specific ranking, you have to come out in five days. Remember to come to Baigongya to receive the reward."

In fact, Tu He knew in his heart that the leader of the Meiyang county test this time must be this Wang Gao!

But the Imperial Dynasty has its own rules for discussing alchemy, and he can't say such things before everyone has finished the assessment.

Seeing that Tu He signaled that he could leave, Pei Ling quickly asked, "Old Tu, I still want to continue refining alchemy for a few days. I wonder if I can borrow the alchemy furnace for another period of time?"

Tu He glanced at him and nodded.

As far as Wang Gao's alchemy technique is concerned, he doesn't need to worry that his alchemy furnace will be damaged due to frequent explosions caused by the opponent's improper operation.

I don't worry about whether the other party will borrow it or not. After all, the better seventh-grade alchemy furnace in the county warehouse will belong to the other party after five days...

Immediately afterwards, Tu He ordered the blue-clothed servants at the outer gate to come in and lead Pei Ling away.

After a while, Pei Ling walked out of the Baigong Yamen, and Shi Wanli, who was guarding outside, immediately greeted him: "Master Wang, is everything going well?"

"It went well." Pei Ling nodded. "My examiner happened to be Tu Lao. He said personally that I have passed the county examination. Next, I just need to wait for the ranking in five days."

"Congratulations, master!" Shi Wanli said with a smile, "With the master's alchemy skills, he will definitely win the championship in one fell swoop!"

After the two exchanged a few words, Shi Wanli escorted Pei Ling back to the cave.

After entering the door, Pei Ling quickly received a voice transmission from Zhou Miaoli: "Did you pass the county test?"

"Passed." Pei Ling said briefly, "This time the test question is..."

"I already know the exam questions." Zhou Miaoli interrupted him, and asked very simply, "I need to know who your examiner is now? Although we are not in the same field now, if we meet the same examiner, it will be very troublesome."

Hearing this, Pei Ling was startled.

He had just passed the county exam, and Zhou Miaoli immediately sent him a sound transmission, and also knew the exam questions of the county exam?

The speed at which the other party received the message was too fast!

Are those alchemists who also participated in the county test had the opposite party, or in Baigongya, there was the other party?

Thinking of this, Pei Ling said in a deep voice, "My examiner is Master Tu He."

"Tu He?" Zhou Miaoli's tone became much more relaxed, "That's good!"

This Tu He is the chief examiner, and he will not end easily.

She doesn't need to worry that Tu He will stare at her!

Of course, just in case, there are still two fifth-rank alchemists in the city, and she chooses to take part in the county examination at the same time as those two fifth-rank alchemists, so she doesn't have to worry about meeting Tu He.

So, Zhou Miaoli said: "The county test is held in two hours, and the time is easy to calculate. You are the second, and I will be the next fifth. After five hours, you can start alchemy."

"Understood." Pei Ling responded briefly.

※※※

In a secluded dwelling outside Baigong Yamen, the sound transmission talisman was slowly extinguished.

Zhou Miaoli put away the talisman, raised her head and said to Fan Dechang: "Wang Gao's side is ready, we can go."

Fan Dechang nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Not long after, the two of them, surrounded by a group of servants, appeared at the gate of Baigong Yamen in the county city.

"Ju Er, don't be nervous." Fan Dechang pulled Zhou Miaoli and chattered, like any old father who cares about his daughter, hopes that her daughter will pass the test in one fell swoop but is afraid that her daughter will be too stressed, and whispered, "After entering, follow the It’s good to practice like you usually do... If you really can’t pass it, it’s okay..."

"Father, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine!" Zhou Miaoli raised her face and said crisply, "Go home, I'll go in right away."

While speaking, she took out the jade document, put her hands behind her back, and hopped inside, her demeanor was the same as the outside world's impression of Fan Jusong.
