Chapter 9 First Stage Alchemist

Passed the initial alchemist assessment!

The voice of Ye Jian, chief alchemist of Jingyun Dan Academy, echoed in everyone's ears, which also made these disciples of the lower court suddenly wake up and couldn't help but talk.

For hundreds of disciples in the Danyuan Courtyard, the assessment of the alchemist is a huge threshold. It blocks most people from the door. The disciples who can pass the assessment every year are among the few.

With one's own understanding, hard work, and a lot of financial support, one of them is indispensable!

Wei Changfeng successfully passed the alchemist assessment in less than half an hour and completed it while winning the lottery with a fight against the pill. It was really unbelievable.

But no one can doubt Ye Jian's authority, and everyone watched with their own eyes that the second-level tiger power pill refined by Wei Changfeng was a powerful proof. Nine pieces of a furnace were made into pills, and four pieces were medium-grade!

This can no longer be explained by luck alone.

"Oh my god!" a disciple murmured: "Who said Wei Changfeng is a waste? He is obviously a genius!"

"He usually works very hard. He probably had bad luck in the assessment before, but this time it broke out!"

"Haha, Liang Tian is miserable. I see how he can continue to survive in the Danyuan in the future."

The direction of discussion among the disciples has changed. They used to ridicule Wei Changfeng for being overestimated and believed that he would definitely lose his winning goal this time, but now they are all applauding.

Many people gathered around and congratulated Wei Changfeng with a smile.

After the initial alchemist assessment, it was a foregone conclusion that Wei Changfeng entered the upper courtyard. His future was undoubtedly bright. When will he not flatter him at this time?

As for Liang Tian, ​​who vomited blood and fell in the pill room, his two friends were quite loyal, so he rushed over and helped him and sent him back for rest, and not many people paid attention to him at all.

Even Ye Jian was much more enthusiastic about Wei Changfeng.

After he took away two tiger pills, he returned the remaining pills together with the medicine box to Wei Changfeng, and smiled and said, "The alchemist's nameplate will be delivered later. I will discuss with the prefecture's office tomorrow."

The cost of the alchemist assessment was made by Wei Changfeng himself, and the elixirs he refined were of course owned by him. Ye Jian left two as a witness to passing the assessment, which is also the rule of the Dan Academy.

After passing the alchemist assessment, the alchemist will also issue a special nameplate to the alchemist to prove its identity and register it with the government. This nameplate is universal throughout the Ageic Continent.

The disciples of the lower courtyard next to them all looked at Wei Changfeng with envious eyes. The promotion to the upper courtyard was truly a step to reach the sky, and their status was very different from theirs.

The first alchemist was also a person with some identity in Jingyun City, not to mention that Wei Changfeng is so young!

But what they never expected was that Wei Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but the disciples do not plan to go to the upper courtyard."

"What?"

Ye Jian was shocked and asked, "Where are you going if you don't go to the yard?"

Wei Changfeng replied without hesitation: "Disciple is ready to return to the Martial Arts Academy!"

"Martial Arts Academy!"

Ye Jian's expression became strange, but he still couldn't believe it: "Wei Changfeng, have you figured it out?"

This was the first time he had met a disciple who was unwilling to go to the upper courtyard for twenty years.

In the Eternal Continent, the number of warriors far exceeds that of alchemists, but the latter's status is not bad. The first-level alchemist may not be anything. If you can be promoted to the middle or even the high level, you will not lack fame, wealth and money.

The most important thing is that alchemists do not need to fight and adventure like warriors. Life is comfortable and comfortable, and many people dream of this is just this!

Therefore, it is difficult for Ye Jian to understand Wei Changfeng's choice.

What I don’t understand is the disciples of the lower yard. Their eyes looked at Wei Changfeng as if they were looking at an idiot.

If you are not an idiot, how could you give up the qualification to enter the court?

However, Wei Changfeng was unmoved at all and insisted: "Disciple has decided!"

"Then let it go!"

Ye Jian was very disappointed, but he could not forcefully change Wei Changfeng's wishes. He said suolently: "I hope you don't regret it in the future. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to enter the upper courtyard again."

Wei Changfeng smiled and did not answer.

As a great master of alchemy thousands of years ago, he didn't think he could learn anything from the Jingyun Dan Academy. Even in the entire Eternal Continent, no one is qualified to be his teacher in alchemy!

After a moment, Dan Tong sent the alchemist's nameplate over.

Ye Jian handed the nameplate and the dragon jade pendant that Liang Tian lost to Wei Changfeng, and said earnestly: "Wei Changfeng, please take care of yourself!"

After taking over the nameplate and jade pendant, even Wei Changfeng was a little excited. The former means he is qualified to open a store in Jingyun City to sell elixirs, while the latter is enough to exchange for a money that is urgently needed at present.

He bowed to Ye Jian and bowed: "Thank you, Master Ye!"

After saying that, Wei Changfeng turned around and left, leaving everyone with a free and easy back.

Someone muttered, "I don't know how to lift up!"

Ye Jian frowned and hummed unhappily, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.

The chief alchemist looked at Wei Changfeng's distant figure and suddenly felt like he had missed something in his heart.

………

Leaving Jingyun Danyuan, Wei Changfeng strolled alone on the long street of Jingyun City.

Although it inherited the soul and memory of the predecessor, Wei Changfeng is not very familiar with this city. Looking at the bustling and crowded streets, he still has a little curiosity and freshness.

As the only decent city within a radius of hundreds of miles, Jingyun City, with more than 50,000 households, is quite prosperous and lively. There are many buildings on both sides of the long street, and countless restaurants, tea shops and shops.

In addition to ordinary people, there were also many merchants traveling from north to south. From time to time, fully armed soldiers patrolled by, and there were also young people with brightly dressed clothes.

In a pawnshop, Wei Changfeng successfully used the Qiulong jade pendant in his hand for 900 taels of silver. Liang Tian did not brag. The jade pendant was of excellent quality and carving. Even the strict pawnshop owner was embarrassed to put too much price.

Just with nearly a thousand taels of silver in hand, Wei Changfeng found that it was not easy to achieve his goal.

Because there are not many shops for rent in the bustling neighborhoods of Jingyun City, and there are only a few that are rented with red paper. When you go in, the rent is extremely high, and the environment is even more unsatisfactory.

So Wei Changfeng wandered around the city for a long time but found nothing. However, he was much familiar with the situation in the city and felt a little relieved.

As he was turning, Wei Changfeng came to the open-air market outside Jingyun City.

The open-air market outside the west of Jingyun City existed many years ago. At that time, Jingyun City collected taxes on travelers and farmers entering the city. In order to save this money, many farmers and hunters simply set up stalls outside the city for sale, so a market was formed over time.

Although Jingyun City later abolished the entry tax, the market was still retained and the scale was getting bigger and bigger. In addition to various grain, fruits and vegetables produced by farmers, there are also animal fur, muscles, bones, flesh, medicinal herbs, etc.

Some warriors even sell various items they have made, such as weapons and secrets, antique elixirs, etc., in the open-air market for sale.

These things often come from and come from unknown sources, and there are many mixed things. Whether you can find real and good things depends on your eyesight, including many travelers doing similar businesses.

Because there are enough types of things and the prices are relatively cheap and affordable, many disciples from Jingyun Martial Arts Academy and Dan Academy usually come to the open-air market to shop for goods. Wei Changfeng has bought medicinal materials several times here.

He came here today with the same purpose, and planned to buy a batch of medicinal materials to go back to refine elixirs suitable for martial arts practice.

Five years of green stems, three-year-old wisteria flowers, tiger bones, deer blood, bear paws... In less than half an hour, Wei Changfeng spent hundreds of taels of silver and filled his bags with him.

As the saying goes, poor literature and wealthy martial arts, if you want to make continuous breakthroughs in martial arts, you will not spend less money than alchemy cultivation. Moreover, the latter can make money by refining alchemy after reaching a certain level. Unless the former is to work hard or take risks to find treasures, the holes to be filled will only become bigger and bigger.

Although he is now carrying silver that can make ordinary people feel comfortable for ten years, he is completely useless to use martial arts practice.

Wei Changfeng stopped in front of a street stall.

The stall owner was a skinny old man, and his clothes were torn and dirty. I don’t know how long it took to change them. Like the items he placed in front of him, they emitted an unpleasant smell.

The worn-out vessels, strange-shaped vine-root bones and rotten daggers, looked like garbage dumps.

In this pile of rags, the only thing that attracted Wei Changfeng's attention was a medicine cauldron the size of a fist.

I don’t know how many years this medicine cauldron has been buried in the soil. The surface is densely covered with thick copper rust, dark green and dark yellow. The breathable holes are filled with mud and dirt, and it also covers the carving patterns on the cauldron.

When Wei Changfeng's eyes fell on the medicine cauldron, the sleepy old stall owner suddenly woke up and quickly poked out his arm, and quickly copied the medicine cauldron into his hand with agility that was completely inconsistent with his age.

Then he smiled and said to Wei Changfeng: "Young Master, you have such a good attitude. This alchemy tripod is a good thing!"

The old guy blinked his little eyes and swept his greedy eyes quickly over Wei Changfeng's bulging bag. His old face smiled into a thin chrysanthemum, revealing his teeth full of burnt yellow.

Wei Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently and said, "Then tell me, what is the origin of it?"

He was willing to bet a tael of silver, and this old guy definitely didn't know the origin of this alchemy tripod!
