C32 Pill refining? nonexistent (first)

"No, Master, let's skip the test, right?" Zhou Tong grinded his teeth, his face filled with a bitter smile.

"That won't do, little fellow, you have great talent, you can't waste your time delaying your future. Come, I won't attack, you just have to attack with all your strength, and I will help you find the flaw." With that, the Taoist Master Bai Ling waved towards Zhou Tong, and took out a grandmaster level flying sword from the Sumeru Pearl.

Zhou Tong sighed as he shook his head, while secretly complaining in his heart. What was this? If he were to display his full strength, it would definitely arouse his master's suspicions. He would also have to be taught a lesson, and no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to avoid this lesson.

Thinking about it, Zhou Tong could not help but smile bitterly, he was going to be taught a lesson anyway, so he decided not to speak anymore, and took out the Meteorite Sword.

The two of them kept a distance, Zhou Tong walked 30 metres and looked at Taoist Master Bai Ling.

"Master, this disciple has offended you!"

With the flick of the Meteorite Sword, Zhou Tong immediately moved, unleashing [Exquisite Dust Shadow]. With a flash, Zhou Tong moved quickly like a ghostly shadow.

"What a boy, what a fast movement technique!" Taoist Master Bai Ling's eyes suddenly shone with a surprised light as she exclaimed.

Seeing Zhou Tong pull the distance of thirty meters, Taoist Master Bai Ling immediately understood Zhou Tong's intention. The Taoist Master Bai Ling was an expert of the three levels of lucidity, far superior to Di Hua and the others. They naturally had a much greater understanding of cultivation, and obviously, Zhou Tong wanted to display his movement techniques.

After entering the second stage, the [Exquisite Dust Shadow] s speed had almost doubled. Even an expert like the Taoist Master Bai Ling could only catch a flash of a shadow at a high speed.

Carrying a sharp wave of air, Zhou Tong charged straight in front of Taoist Master Bai Ling, causing a large amount of pine needles to be thrown into the air. With a raise of his hand, Zhou Tong used the skill [Liu Yue Sword Art], 'Clear Wind, Piercing Moon'. The Meteorite Sword rushed towards the Taoist Master Bai Ling with its sharp Qi. Wherever the Qi Qi went, the pine needles that were raised high into the air were immediately chopped into pieces.

"Zheng" a sharp sound rang, and the Meteorite Sword and the flying sword beside Taoist Master Bai Ling crossed each other, the flying sword firmly locking the sword on the Meteorite Sword's hilt, causing Zhou Tong to be unable to move forward at all.

The Taoist Master Bai Ling raised her finger and pushed Zhou Tong out of the room, "That's right, the most important point of 'Qingfeng and Yiyue' is its indomitable spirit. Don't look at its elegant name, just consider it sharp.

Zhou Tong tilted his head, licked his lips, and rushed forward once again. 'Wind Liu Ruyue', 'Flushing Willow Style', 'Moon Closing Form', and all sorts of 'Liu Yue Sword Art s' moves were continuously performed by Zhou Tong. counted twelve moves in a row, one at a time and then used them without landing a single blow on Zhou Tong.

But after using all twelve of his moves, Zhou Tong immediately pretended to be weak and fell to the ground. It was already troublesome enough to be caught for the assessment, Zhou Tong did not want to get any more sword arts assessment or something like that.

"Master, I can't do it anymore. I can't move anymore." Zhou Tong laid on the ground, waving his hand as he panted heavily. His forehead was covered with fine beads of perspiration, and his exhausted appearance was rather vivid.

"Haha, not bad, kid." Taoist Master Bai Ling kept his flying sword, raised her head and laughed, "How long has it been? I can tell that you have been training very hard, and have mastered the essence of every single move. However, with your current cultivation and physique, you are still a little lacking if you want to fully utilize the [Liu Yue Sword Art], so you don't have to belittle yourself, and practice more diligently, you will definitely become one of the best in the way of sword arts. "

Hearing Taoist Master Bai Ling's comforting words, Zhou Tong showed a gratified expression and nodded, secretly rolling her eyes.

At the moment, Zhou Tong had not even used 10% of his strength, and the sweat on his forehead, was merely forced out by Zhou Tong. As for his own combat strength, other than the first stage's [Exquisite Dust Shadow], Zhou Tong had not used any of his other abilities at all. If not for the fact that he was taught a lesson together, perhaps the current Zhou Tong could have caused quite a bit of trouble for the Taoist Master Bai Ling.

"Alright, little fellow, you can be considered to have investigated our strength clearly. Not bad, perhaps you will be able to obtain some results after joining the Immortal Path Congress. You should prepare well in the next few days. Remember to be punctual during the pill assessment in the next few days. In a short while, you'll have to go out and train. In the next few days, you can start concocting pills on your own, so you should prepare well and warm up your hands. I look forward to your performance in the assessment. "

Taoist Master Bai Ling stroked her white beard, raised her head and laughed loudly and left, leaving Zhou Tong lying on the ground with a huge roll of her eyes.

The day that Xue Yang returned just happened to be in the early morning five days later. The moment he returned to his dorm, Xue Yang saw the letter and the medicinal pellets Zhou Tong had left on the table.

"This guy really can't stay idle." After reading the letter Zhou Tong left behind, Xue Yang clearly knew where Zhou Tong was. He put away the pellet and sighed, then put down his luggage and went out of the room, heading to the examination venue.

This time's exam, the stage was set at the center of the A Gate's stage. In the vast courtyard, there was a large stage with a length and width of over a hundred meters. By the time Xue Yang had rushed over, he was already surrounded by the A Gate disciples who came to watch the show.

It wasn't easy for Xue Yang to squeeze into the crowd before he discovered that the first round of examination was about to begin. The seats on the stage had already been allocated, and all nine A Gate s who were participating in the competition were already there. In the middle of the stage stood a young man with silver hair and a face as serious as an old ice cube. He was one of the most renowned people in the A Gate, Di Hua's big brother, Di Bei.

"Hey, look. That person with the sword on his back, is he called Zhou Tong? A new face. "

"Him? Didn't you know about that disciple who charged straight into the A Gate a while ago? I heard that Master was especially optimistic about him. A few days ago, he specially went to visit him. "

"What's the use? Even if he was looked favorably upon, it would be useless in front of Senior Brother Di Bei, right? Furthermore, he took the worst of the medicinal herbs, I think there's no hope for him. "

The surrounding people were discussing softly, and when they heard Xue Yang, they couldn't help but frown: "Everyone, what do you guys think happened when Zhou Tong took the worst quality medicinal ingredients?"

Seeing that the one who spoke was Xue Yang, the few people who were discussing quietly bowed and saluted.

"Senior Brother Xue Yang, it's like this. Zhou Tong seems to be late today, and when he arrived, everyone had already picked the first round of ingredients, so the only thing he could do was to select the leftover remnants of the medicinal ingredients.

"Tsk, this guy, what the hell is he doing?"

The Taoist Master Bai Ling sitting in the judging area also had a somewhat disappointed expression. On the other hand, Zhou Tong was holding a pile of medicinal ingredients with mixed quality in his hands.

I believe that everyone is well aware of the uses of this kind of medicinal pill. In this round of the examination, all of you will need to follow the medicinal formula and successfully refine a medicinal pill. This round, there will be five people who will be eliminated, and the materials that you have received will be sufficient for all of you to refine twice.

"Why do I feel like you guys are deliberately making me laugh when you refine the Qi Xuan Dan according to the prescription?" When Zhou Tong heard the rules read out by the Taoist Master Bai Ling, he couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

The Qi Xuan Dan had helped the Qi Refinement Realm cultivator raise her cultivation by three stages, and not long ago, Zhou Tong had sold one to eat.

Doubtful, Zhou Tong shook his head. He grabbed the medicinal cauldron, started a fire, picked up the medicinal ingredients and threw it in.

"Look, that Zhou Tong immediately started refining it!"

"Does he not know how difficult the refining of Qi Xuan Dan is? Everyone else is still looking at the prescription! "

Astonishment filled the air, causing Zhou Tong to secretly laugh. He glanced around and sure enough, the others were still focused on researching on the medicinal formula.

Following the commencement of the refinement, the clamoring voices of the surrounding people gradually died down. Everyone's gaze swept across the alchemist in the arena and upon their movements, they were all filled with envy at the exquisite control of the medicinal cauldron.
