I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 478: Next time, I’ll go and give Wang Gao some pointers

Translator: 549690339

Inside a waterside pavilion that was connected by a long nine-turn bridge, there were carved railings and painted rafters. The mist drifted in the air. The door of the alchemy room that faced the railing was closed, and the faint light of an array flashed from time to time.

In the alchemy room, the nineteenth Prince, Zhong kuiyan, was sitting in front of a snow-white alchemy furnace with a serious expression. Her hands were making hand seals as she stared at the alchemy furnace in front of her without blinking. She was trying her best to sense the changes in the liquid in the furnace.

A moment later, the pill furnace began to shake violently ...

Zhongkui mo quickly made a few hand seals and added a few medicinal herbs into the furnace. Then, he activated the arrays on the furnace ...

However, all known methods had been tried, and in the end ...

Bang! Bang!

The lid of the White pill furnace shot up to the ceiling with a loud bang. Black smoke rose from the furnace, and a strange smell quickly filled the entire pill refining room.

Zhong kuiyuan frowned slightly and looked into the furnace. He saw that the bottom of the furnace was burnt black. The elixir liquid that he had worked so hard to make had been completely ruined.

&Quot; the four main ingredients are missing. The first one should be healing and soothing. &Quot;

&Quot; there are countless of such herbs in the world. &Quot;

“However, in the hundred medicine Manor, there are only twelve types.”

&Quot; I’ve already tried seven of them. At most, I’ll try five more times, and I should be able to determine which main ingredient is missing for the first one. &Quot;

&Quot; in addition, according to what I’ve read in the alchemy furnace, there are two steps missing in the recipe. The first step is probably the refinement of the herbs. &Quot;

“The pill discussion ceremony is targeted at alchemists under the age of 100. A considerable number of them are rogue cultivators.”

&Quot; therefore, this refinement technique must be within the core formation stage or even at the foundation establishment stage. &Quot;

“This way, the range has been greatly reduced.”

&Quot; moreover, this kind of refinement method must be recorded in the alchemy furnace manual. &Quot;

“Otherwise, wouldn’t those rogue alchemists have no hope of passing the test?”

“The consecrated would not give such an unfair question.”

&Quot; according to Junior Brother Xun and Academy head Nangong’s voice transmissions, they’ve only found less than ten refinement techniques that meet the requirements since they started browsing through the pill dispensary. &Quot;

Zhongkui Yuan quickly concluded in her heart.

In reality, this court examination was an opportunity for the selected pill refiners.

It was an opportunity for him to read all the alchemy books copied from the Royal Library!

This was especially so for the alchemists who were itinerant cultivators. They were able to reach this stage because they were more talented than the alchemists from the dynasty. The biggest shortcoming of these alchemists was that their inheritance was often incomplete. They especially lacked a comprehensive, systematic understanding of alchemy from a far-sighted perspective.

However, the existence of Xin Sui Hall’s pill house undoubtedly provided them with an opportunity to make up for their losses.

It could be said that even if a portion of the court examination’s participants were unable to pass the examination, it was worth it to spend ten days and ten nights in the elixir dispensary reading the books.

Although the elixir dispensary couldn’t possibly copy the entire library, the various questions, experiences, techniques, and techniques regarding elixir refinement had already far exceeded the grasp of all the participants. This was an incalculable invisible wealth!

As she thought about it, she quickly used a hand seal to clean the ashes in the furnace and then continued to refine the next furnace.

Soon ...

BOOM!

This time, he was not given any chance to save himself. The lid of the furnace flew high into the air and embedded itself deeply into the brick above his head!

The entire pill furnace let out a loud bang, and the pill liquid scattered in all directions.

His robe fluttered without the wind, blocking the liquid. Eventually, kui Xuan was unharmed, but her brows were furrowed even more tightly.

He had made a mistake this time. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

He hadn’t even reached the point where he needed to add in the missing ingredients, and the furnace had exploded in advance!

Zhongkui Xuan took a deep breath and muttered to himself, ” &Quot; it’s indeed very exhausting to make up for the incomplete formula ... After opening the furnace eight times in a row, even if I’ve taken a pill to refresh my mind, my concentration has already declined uncontrollably. &Quot;

“I can’t continue to refine it.”

“I need to go out for a walk and adjust my state of mind.”

Thus, he tidied up the alchemy room, put away the animal skin remnant recipe, medicinal herbs, alchemy furnace, and so on. He tidied up his clothes and walked out of the alchemy room.

The waterside pavilion he lived in was similar to the environment of other alchemists. It was surrounded by lush branches and leaves, lush flowers and grass, and from time to time, colorful birds would fly past, chirping and chirping, making it even more tranquil.

Zhong kuixuan leaned against the railing with his hands behind his back, facing the pool for a moment. Feeling the carefreeness of the soft wind blowing on his face, the depression in his heart gradually disappeared. Should he look for Junior Brother Xun and Dean Nangong to discuss this in detail? Or should he go to Wang Gao’s place and test the standard of this unaffiliated pill refiner?

That’s right, he had previously heard from nie Wushang that Wang Gao was the first in the county examination. He had opened the furnace ten times in a row and produced top-grade pills. He could be said to be an amazing talent!

He had originally thought that the other party’s alchemy Dao attainments would definitely be from a lofty position and original.

Who knew that when they were discussing the problem of the remnant recipe, the other party was completely ignorant and couldn’t even answer a few words. It was Zhong kuiya, Xun Wushang, and Nangong su who were the ones talking!

If he didn’t know that the county examination was extremely strict and that the chief Examiner of the maiyang County, tu he, was obsessed with the Dao of alchemy and attached great importance to the alchemy discussion ceremony, he would never have deliberately gone easy on them. In the end, kui Yan even suspected that Wang Gao was able to enter the court examination because of favoritism.

All in all, from the brief moment of shock just now, Wang Gao’s pill concoction skills were just average.

However, he remembered that the other party was a wandering cultivator from outside the country, and the pill Dao inheritance he had obtained was most likely incomplete. Even if one had talent and could easily master alchemy, the completion of the incomplete recipe required an extremely solid foundation in alchemy, extensive knowledge, and a deep understanding of alchemy.

In this way, from the vast number of medicinal herbs, as well as the many rules of interpromotion and interrestraint, he could choose the correct medicinal herbs, techniques, steps, and piece together the correct pill formula!

Thinking about it this way, it was also reasonable for this Wang Gao to be helpless against the remnant recipe.

Thus, after seeing through Wang Gaochun’s intentions, Zhongkui Yan didn’t expose him on the spot. Instead, she was still very polite to him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhongkui Yan finally decided not to waste her time with Wang Gao.

First, he would look for Xun Wushang and Nangong su to discuss this. After they had completed their incomplete recipes, if there was still time and Wang Gao had not made any progress, he could go and give them some advice since the dynasty valued Level-5 unaffiliated pill refiners.

Thus, she got up and walked out of the waterside pavilion towards nie Wushang’s residence.

On the way, he passed by a garden and met with several alchemists, who were discussing something in low voices.
