Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Judging from Chu Yunfan's age, he is only around twenty years old.

At such a young age, he has already reached the Martial Grandmaster realm, demonstrating exceptional talent.

If at the same time, one is also an exceptionally talented alchemist.

Even though Li Mingtian came from the Qingyun Sword Sect and was considered well-informed, he had never heard of such a genius.

Upon seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of City Lord Li and the heads of the four major families, Yu Zhicheng, the president of the Alchemist Association, immediately had an idea and spoke:

"Judging from the sky, it's almost dawn."

"Perfect timing! Young friend Xuanyuan is preparing to formally participate in the alchemist assessment after dawn. If any of you are interested, why don't you stay and watch the assessment together?"

Upon hearing Yu Zhicheng's words, Lord Li and the heads of the four major families, who were still in shock and doubt, immediately expressed their agreement in unison.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan did not object.

Since these people want to watch, then let them watch.

He could use this opportunity to increase his standing in these people's eyes and lay the groundwork for his future actions.

At the same time, a surprising idea popped into Chu Yunfan's mind.

"If we're going to be shocked, let's make this shock even more intense!"

Chu Yunfan's eyes flickered, and he was already anticipating the reactions of these people.

Soon, the sunlight illuminated the earth.

Meanwhile, the Alchemist Association became incredibly lively.

At this moment, everyone in the Alchemist Association knows that an alchemy genius arrived last night and will participate in the alchemy assessment today.

Although it was only an assessment for a first-level alchemist.

But the scene was incredibly grand.

First, the president of the Alchemist Association personally arranged and supervised this assessment.

Secondly, the city lord of Lianshan City, along with the heads of the four major families, were also watching the alchemist assessment.

This instantly ignited everyone's emotions.

All the alchemists stopped what they were doing and came to watch the assessment.

"You all say this young man has such great talent for cultivation, and he broke through to the Martial Grandmaster realm so early."

His mind must be focused on cultivation; does he even have time to study alchemy?

Among the crowd, an elderly third-tier alchemist raised this question.

Immediately someone answered him.

"Yes! Back when I became a first-level alchemist, it took me three whole years of study before I barely passed the assessment."

He must have been cultivating and learning alchemy since he was in the womb.

otherwise,……"

Otherwise, the person did not continue speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

Chu Yunfan listened to the discussions of the people below, but his heart remained unmoved. Instead, he focused wholeheartedly on familiarizing himself with the earth vein fire of the Alchemist Association.

To ensure fairness and impartiality in the assessment, all alchemical materials used during the assessment, including the flames used in alchemy, are provided by the Alchemist Association.

Chu Yunfan had always used his own alchemical fire to refine pills, so naturally he needed to familiarize himself with the flame first.

Shortly after, Chu Yunfan suddenly spoke to Yu Zhicheng, the president of the Alchemist Association:

"Mr. Yu, we can begin!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhicheng nodded slightly, and then announced:

"The First-Tier Alchemist Assessment officially begins!"

As soon as the word "begin" was uttered, someone immediately handed Chu Yunfan a pill formula and some first-tier spiritual herbs.

Chu Yunfan looked at a pill formula and found that it was the Body Tempering Pill.

He was not surprised by this.

The Body Tempering Pill is the most commonly used first-tier pill among cultivators, so it's only natural that this pill formula is used in the assessment.

After glancing at the pill formula, Chu Yunfan directly selected suitable spiritual herbs from the herbs beside him and put them into the alchemy furnace one by one. Then he used hand seals to control the flames under the alchemy furnace to extract the medicinal power from the herbs.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, without the slightest delay.

It gives the impression that I could do it too.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the medicinal power of the elixir had been fully extracted.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan changed the hand seals, controlling the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace to fuse together and condense into a pill.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a few minutes later, Chu Yunfan gave a soft shout.

"rise!"

Instantly, the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up automatically, and nine round pills flew out and landed on the seat of Yu Zhicheng, the president of the Alchemist Association.

When these nine pills appeared, gasps of surprise immediately arose from the surrounding crowd.

"Nine pills in one furnace! It's actually nine pills in one furnace!"

The one who exclaimed in surprise was a second-tier alchemist.

The reason he was so excited was that, in the Great Dao, nine represents perfection.

Even the most skilled alchemist can only produce a maximum of nine pills in a single batch.

Of course, in reality, it is extremely difficult to produce nine pills from a single batch of pills, and many alchemists cannot achieve this.

Even they couldn't guarantee that every alchemy attempt would be successful.

In fact, an alchemist is considered qualified if he succeeds once out of three attempts at alchemy, producing one pill.

Chu Yunfan not only succeeded on his first try, but also directly refined nine pills, which shocked the second-level alchemist.

In fact, not only this alchemist was shocked, but many other alchemists were also shocked, including a large number of second-tier alchemists.

Because none of them possessed the skill to produce nine pills in one furnace.

Then, Yu Zhicheng's next words caused the expressions of the remaining third-tier alchemists to change completely.

"All nine Body Tempering Pills are of qualified quality."

Among them, there are four mid-grade pills and three high-grade pills.

The remaining two are top-grade pills!

The words "top-grade pills" were like a bomb, leaving the group of alchemists below the stage completely bewildered and their minds reeling.

The words "top-grade elixir" carry immense significance.

Alchemists who can refine top-grade pills are definitely respected alchemy geniuses, and their status is superior to that of all alchemists.

However, top-grade elixirs are not so easy to refine.

Even for a simple first-tier pill, such as a Body Tempering Pill, refining it to the highest quality is incredibly difficult.

In fact, among all the alchemists present, apart from the guild leader Yu Zhicheng, only a handful of elderly third-tier alchemists were capable of refining top-quality first-tier body tempering pills, and even then, there was no guarantee that they could refine top-quality pills every time.

Therefore, upon hearing the words "top-grade pills," not only were all the alchemists excited.

Lord Li and the heads of the four major families stood up excitedly and surrounded Yu Zhicheng to examine the two pills.

At this moment, the two top-grade Body Tempering Pills lay quietly in Yu Zhicheng's hands. They were perfectly round, with a crystal-clear surface and shimmering light, without a single impurity.

When Lord Li and the heads of the four major families saw the two pills, they were immediately shocked and uttered the same sentence.

"It is indeed a top-grade elixir!"
