Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

"Is it okay to just memorize five recipes?" Xia Xiaomo asked uncertainly.

"Yes, these five recipes represent the basic skills of alchemy, but the prerequisite is that you must pass the written test before you can enter the second round of alchemy."

Zhang Yunxue continued: "Most people think the written test is the most difficult because they have to memorize a lot of herbs."

Most of the Sunset Sect disciples who went to the Imperial City to take the Alchemist Certificate Examination would return to the Sect with the certificate.

A small number of disciples who did not pass the exam this year learned from their experience and passed the exam next year.

The Alchemist Certificate is a prerequisite for entering Alchemy Peak. All disciples of Sunset Sect who have passed the Alchemist Certificate exam can enter Alchemy Peak.

"Are you taking this exam in order to join Alchemy Peak?" Zhang Yunxue asked curiously.

If two disciples with such great talent in swordsmanship were to go to Alchemy Peak, Elder Lin would really have to do some ideological work for them.

"Elder Zhang, we have no plans to join Alchemy Peak. We just want to try to see if we can pass the alchemist exam." Xu Yeyu said.

Xu Yeyu didn't dare to say that it was for that little bit of silver and let Elder Zhang know that he took the alchemist exam for the money.

Will anyone be left with the impression that I am greedy for money?

"Are those people outside taking care of the herbs your disciples?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

"Not really. Some of them are my senior brothers and sisters, and some are my junior brothers and sisters. They are all disciples of the Alchemy Peak. The disciples of the Alchemy Peak often come to the Outer Sect Immortal Grass Hall."

Zhang Yunxue patted the wooden board next to her and continued, "Sit down. Now you don't have to treat me as an elder. You can treat me as a senior sister. I'm not much older than you."

It's just a name, she doesn't care.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo looked at each other, then sat next to Elder Zhang, and the three of them sat in a row.

"I heard from the elder in charge that the alchemist exam will start in two months. Will it be held in the Imperial City?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

"The exams have always been held in the Imperial City." Zhang Yunxue replied.

"Then we have to hurry up." Xia Xiaomo turned and said to Xu Yeyu.

Xu Yeyu nodded. The alchemist exam was only held every two years. If you missed this one, you would have to wait another two years.

After two years, when my level has improved, will I still be short of this little money?

So the three of them sat quietly under the wooden house, each holding a book.

The flowers near the wooden house exude charming fragrance, attracting butterflies and bees to fly around.

The lake lies quietly in front of the wooden house, the water is clear and reflects the sky and trees.

There are some wild flowers and dandelions on the grass by the lake, swaying in the breeze.

The blue sky and white clouds accompany the tranquil valley, and the waterfalls in the mountains fall like silver threads, making the sound of gurgling water.

......

......

Zhang Yunxue glanced at the two disciples from time to time.

Unlike most disciples, they do not feel sleepy or start scratching their hair after reading a few pages.

The two of them flipped through the pages quietly, their eyes focused and quiet.

Such a disciple is really rare.

Zhang Yunxue recalled that when she and several fellow disciples first read this herbal illustration book, they were always feeling sleepy and scratching their heads.

The big sects do have elders who will teach their disciples how to make pills, but the first step in making pills is to remember the basic herbs.

This step alone stumped many disciples, so they gave up on the path of alchemy.

There are many paths to immortality. If you find this one difficult to walk on, just try another one.

Zhang Yunxue looked at the books in the hands of the two people and felt a little confused. Are these two people reading too fast?

She had just finished reading five pages of the book, and they had probably flipped through more than twenty pages.

The higher the realm of a cultivator, the better the memory will be. She is a cultivator of the fifth realm, and generally speaking, her memory is better than these two disciples.

She had some guesses. Perhaps they just wanted to look at the patterns on the herbs and learn some basic knowledge from them.

They had a rough idea in their minds, and then they read it again, combining the text and pictures to remember the herbs.

In the past, there were indeed disciples from the Alchemy Peak who read this book in this way and memorized the herbs contained in it.

Zhang Yunxue didn't care much about it.

There are many ways to learn. There is no need to follow other people's ways. The best way is the one that suits you.

The orange-red afterglow sprinkled on the spiritual fields in the distance, like a warm velvet blanket.

As the breeze blows, the crops in the spiritual fields sway gracefully.

Xia Xiaomo closed the book, placed it on her knees, and looked at the golden spiritual field through the afterglow.

"How much do you remember?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

"About half." Xu Yeyu replied.

Xia Xiaomo turned around and looked at Xu Yeyu and said, "That's similar to me. Let the elders give us a few questions, and we'll go back after we answer them."

Xu Yeyu nodded. It was about to get dark, and it was time to go back.

"How about we go down the mountain and have a meal together?" Xu Yeyu asked.

You can read the book tomorrow, but you can’t skip the meal.

"Okay, I'll treat you this time." Xia Xiaomo said with a smile.

"Then let me test you." Zhang Yunxue gave them each a piece of paper and a pen, "What kind of elixir is Danqi grass most commonly used to refine?"

The two of them placed the paper on the book and began to write.

Zhang Yunxue looked at the paper they handed over, the Qi-replenishing pill.

She smiled and said, "You answered all of them correctly. Next question."

"What does the purple cloud flower look like, what is its function, and what kind of elixir is it often used to refine?"

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo wrote down the answers and handed the paper to Zhang Yunxue.

[The appearance of the purple flower is a bright purple-red flower, with petals as thin as paper and a faint fragrance. It can soothe nerves and eliminate fatigue, and is often used to make meditation pills. ]

Their answers were exactly as written in the book.

Zhang Yunxue looked at the answers written by the two people and was a little surprised.

At first, the two of them said they remembered half of the herbs.

Zhang Yunxue didn't take these two sentences seriously and thought they were just joking with each other.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo have a very good relationship.

The reason why Xu Yeyu joined the Sunset Sect was because of Xia Xiaomo.

This was something that all the elders knew about, and the two of them had also done commissions together.

It's normal for good friends to joke around with each other.

Zhang Yunxue asked another question, and the two people gave the same answer: detoxification pill.

She nodded with satisfaction, feeling happy with the performance of the two disciples. She hadn't seen disciples who could memorize so quickly in a long time.

"Elder Zhang, let's leave first and come back tomorrow." Xia Xiaomo said.

The two said goodbye to Elder Zhang and walked along the path between the spiritual fields.

"I heard that there is a sour plum soup store in Youyuan Town. Let's go and have some someday. It tastes better with ice."

"Okay, I'll find out where I can find it when the time comes." Xu Yeyu said.

"Okay, then I'll leave this task to you."

As the sun sets, the silver-haired elder's gaze lingers on their figures. Xia Xiaomo chats with Xu Yeyu beside her with a smile on her face.

Until the two of them disappeared completely.
