Chapter 157 Preliminary Screening Assessment
The cultivator with a harsh appearance immediately turned purple and looked troubled.
On the other hand, the female cultivator behind him, who looked like a young woman, spoke up to defuse the situation: "Sir, don't make it difficult for Fellow Daoist Wu. If it's just a few days of hard work, let Yingying endure it."
"Uncle, Yingying doesn't mind," said the young girl.
The male cultivator with a dignified expression frowned slightly and nodded after a moment: "Alright, Yingying, for you, it should be easy to deal with the guest cultivator from Tianji. Just handle it seriously, and I and your aunt will support you at Longxiang Temple."
After saying that, he led the beautiful young woman and turned to leave.
Seeing this, the guide cultivator with a harsh appearance hurriedly took a few steps and shouted loudly towards the side hall: "What are you all doing? It's time to go back to where you should be."
After speaking, he showed a pleasing smile and pointed to a small door with a refining tool hanging on it: "Miss, you can go through that small door."
Upon hearing this, the young female cultivator smiled slightly, nodded, and walked towards the small door indicated by the guide cultivator with a harsh appearance.
As she passed by the door of the pill refining room, a fragrant breeze wafted in, gently stirring Lu Yu's nostrils.
This fragrance touched Lu Yu's heart for a moment.
It was very fragrant, very unique, and even had the ability to instantly calm one's mind.
Lu Yu leaned out and looked towards the direction of the refining tool room, only to see a flash of white robe entering.
He regretfully withdrew his gaze.
If the guide cultivator in charge of leading the way treated him with respect, then the dignified cultivator must have a considerable status within the Qingyun Commercial Sect.
Even Lu Yu couldn't imagine it.
Lu Yu didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect towards such a superior person.
Afterwards, the surrounding discussions also quieted down significantly.
Lu Yu smiled faintly and felt at ease in such a quiet environment with abundant spiritual energy.
Three days passed in a row.
All the quiet rooms in the thirty small doors were occupied.
"Come out!"
Following a long shout, the cultivators sitting in the quiet rooms of the small doors all stood up and walked out.
A cultivator in a silver Daoist robe walked into the main gate.
Without any visible steps, he appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the assessment for the guest cultivators of Tianji," he said. "I am the chief examiner in charge of this assessment."
As he spoke, the silver light around him grew stronger, almost blinding.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was inside a huge Taoist temple.
Even with more than thirty people inside the temple, it still felt spacious.
Lu Yu was secretly surprised, but he didn't dare to show any signs of it.
The young female cultivator with the white jade phoenix hairpin stood not far from him, also standing obediently, but her gaze kept sweeping over the other cultivators.
When her gaze fell on Lu Yu, she looked at him a few more times.
In this assessment, there were indeed a few Qi Refining cultivators, but only two or three.
The rest were Foundation Building cultivators, and there were even one or two Core Formation cultivators.
"Fellow Daoists, please hold the jade slips you received after the evaluation in your palms," said the cultivator in the silver robe.
As soon as he finished speaking, the jade slips in the hands of the cultivators shot out white beams of light towards the thunderclouds outside the temple.
Thirty white lights shot into the thunderclouds outside the temple like white silk.
Lu Yu looked at the white light with a puzzled expression on his face. Then, as if attracted by a force, he was sucked in by the white light.
As Lu Yu disappeared with the white light, golden dust suddenly appeared in the place where he had been, outlining his name and identity.
Xingzhou.
Jingguo Poyun City branch.
A guest alchemist of the first rank.
Lu Yu.
The Lu Yu who was sucked in by the beam of light did not panic as much as he had imagined.
He began to carefully examine his surroundings.
He found himself in a dimly lit and quiet room.
"Guest alchemist of the first rank, Lu Yu."
"Please make a batch of Hao Fire Extinguishing Pills."
A somewhat numb and emotionless voice suddenly appeared.
As soon as the voice fell, a flash of light appeared around him, and a table suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.
On the table were the materials that Lu Yu was extremely familiar with.
Lu Yu had already made hundreds of batches of Hao Fire Extinguishing Pills, and his success rate in making them now was almost close to one hundred percent.
As long as he didn't make any mistakes, this assessment question would definitely not stump him.
However, this question was not difficult, as long as one was an alchemist with Foundation Building cultivation, it was not too difficult to make it, almost like a threshold question.
Soon, Lu Yu successfully made the pills.
With a wave of his hand, he successfully made over a hundred bright red Hao Fire Extinguishing Pills.
After sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath for a moment,
"Please make a batch of Spirit-Attached Flame Pills."
That numb and emotionless voice sounded again.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly smiled.
Why did this assessment question become easier and easier?
But then, he couldn't smile anymore.
What appeared on the table were not materials.
Instead, there were two clumps of condensed and undispersed wood and fire attribute refining elixir.
He was instantly surprised.
Was this someone else's halfway refined spirit beast pill that was given to him for further processing?
He had never encountered such a situation before. Generally speaking, if the refining elixir was extracted from the materials and not immediately formed into a pill, the spiritual energy in the elixir would quickly dissipate.
But he didn't know what method Qingyun Shangmen used to preserve this kind of extracted elixir and use it as an assessment question.
Lu Yu extended his hands and controlled the two clumps of wood and fire attribute refining elixir between his palms.
After probing with his divine sense for a moment, the familiar feeling of making Spirit-Attached Flame Pills a thousand times came back to him.
After mixing the two clumps of elixir together, he roasted them again with his alchemical fire.
He successfully made a large quantity of Spirit-Attached Flame Pills.
After waving his hand, the pills were put into a bag, and Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For him, this second assessment question didn't seem too difficult either.
This time, he didn't even need to adjust his breath.
Almost as soon as the pills were completely put into the bag, that numb voice sounded again:
"Lu Yu, guest alchemist of the first rank at the Jingguo Poyun City branch, congratulations on passing this preliminary assessment."
As soon as the voice fell, the dim light around him dimmed.
In an instant, before Lu Yu had a chance to celebrate, he was sent back to the magnificent Taoist temple.
And the golden sand that had condensed from the white beam of light also dissipated instantly.
Seeing Lu Yu return, the cultivator in the silver Daoist robe nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said,
"Fellow Daoist, please go to rest elsewhere."
With that, he waved his hand, and Lu Yu entered a hall.
In the hall, several cultivators were already standing around casually.
Among them was the female cultivator with a white jade phoenix hairpin.
When she saw someone else being brought here, her eyes, full of spiritual energy, immediately looked over.
But she didn't expect that among the cultivators who completed the task so quickly, there would be this middle-aged alchemist.
Lu Yu walked into the hall with a nervous heart, intending to find a corner to stand in.
The female cultivator with the white jade phoenix hairpin suddenly stopped him and said, "Fellow Daoist, you can't stand randomly in this hall."
"We all stood in order of entering the hall."
After speaking, she even waved at Lu Yu, indicating for him to stand beside her.
