C47

The selection ceremony for the Pill Assembly started. 300 people were chosen from the 30 thousand third-grade apothecaries and three of the fourth-grade apothecaries were direct disciples. This made the three fourth-grade apothecaries very happy.

Now that they were selecting a 3-star apothecary, the three 4-star apothecaries were picking disciples for their teacher, and they appeared to be extremely serious.

On the other hand, Duan Meng was watching by the side. No one understood the meaning behind his words. He wanted to discover the true genius of the world and became a direct disciple. Even the three Tier 4 apothecaries didn't know this.

The exam was very simple. There were only three questions, palm fire, calmness, and pill formation. The final step was to concoct a Tier 3 spiritual pill, and with the assessment of the three examiners, he would be able to pass the examination.

However, he didn't underestimate these three questions. Just the force from his palm had gone down by more than half. The test of palm strength was to use one's zhenqi to ignite the flames in one's palm, calcining and melting the herbs. A single mistake would cause the herbs to burn, and at this moment, one would be eliminated. The third was to form a pill, which required one to use one's own consciousness to infuse the pill with spiritual wisdom when forming the pill. Otherwise, the pill would be called a normal pill, not a Qi pellet. This was not a Qi pellet, but a Qi pellet, as long as the pellet absorbed the soul energy, it would be a Qi pellet.

Duan Meng clasped his hands behind his back as he walked around the crowd of disciples. Upon closer inspection, he realized that regardless of whether it was the flames in his palm, the balance in his body, or the speed at which the pills were formed, they were all top-notch.

On the spot, Duan Rui saw that these three disciples had passed the exam and were even included within his direct disciples. The determination of these three disciples was still astounding; they were neither happy nor sad until they had completed the refinement of a Grade Three Spirit Dan. Duan Meng was quite satisfied with their performance and immediately called the three examiners to record their names.

Duan Meng walked at the front, with Xiao Feng Xian and Hei Yan at his sides. One beautiful, one ugly, it was also arranged by him to see each disciple's mental fortitude. For his two followers to be able to observe the examiners with calm hearts and calm hearts, that must mean they had great willpower.

Duan Meng noticed something strange. One of the examiners only glanced at him and didn't raise his head. He was only focused on concocting pills and felt that this person must be extraordinary. His mental strength was extremely astonishing.

Black Rock also discovered the strangeness and quietly said to Duan Jidao.

"Young master, I feel that this person is very familiar. I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't recall where."

Duan Ru saw through it as well. Even though he was only a third rank alchemist, his innate skills were definitely high. He wasn't just a Cloud Level alchemist; he was probably above the Lightning Level.

"Such high skill, why is he pretending to be a grade-3 apothecary? Could it be a spy?"

Duan Meng had a thought that he should pay more attention to this person.

"You've been accepted as my direct disciple."

Hearing this, the person's face revealed a look of joy, and then he disappeared.

"Follow me." Duan Meng gave the order, and that person stopped concocting pills and followed Duan Ling Tian into the room.

"What's your name?"

"Reporting to the president, my name is Bai Ding."

Duan Ling Tian smiled. This name sounded good and extremely amiable. Although he said he was from the Bai Ding Clan, he had extraordinary strength. He really wasn't an ordinary person.

Blackrock gave Duan Meng a meaningful glance, and Duan Ru understood. Duan Ru suddenly made his move, grabbing towards Bai Ding's face. Bai Ding was startled, she tilted her head and dodged Duan Ru's grab, but she immediately stopped.

"President, what are you doing? How did I offend you?"

Duan Meng chuckled. "You're not called Bai Ding, right? Please take off the mask on your face."

When Bai Ding heard this, his whole body shook before calming down.

"President, please forgive this disciple for his rudeness. This disciple has some unspeakable secrets, please forgive me."

Duan Ling Tian smiled. Just as he was about to apologize, Hei Yan came before Bai Ding and knelt down on his knees. Duan Ling Tian was baffled as well. "Hei Yan, what happened to you?"

"Teacher, you're the master, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Hei Yan cried. He hugged Bai Ding's legs and cried. Bai Ding was also baffled.

"Miss, did you recognize the wrong person?"

He took off his mask, revealing his beautiful face. Bai Ding's shoulders trembled as he tried his best to restrain himself, "Miss, you have recognized the wrong person. I do not have a disciple, I am just a Tier 3 pill refiner." How could Hei Yan be willing to believe that? He tightly held onto Bai Ding.

Duan Meng understood. Black Rock was a smart person, so he wouldn't act rashly. Since he was sure that Black Rock was Bai Wuxia, he must be right.

"Madam, you should take off your mask. If I were to make a move, it would be rude!"

Bai Ding hesitated for a moment before finally taking off the mask, revealing a beautiful face that could bring calamity upon a nation. Black Rock immediately broke down laughing, "Master, I just knew it was you."

"Silly girl, why are you here? Not being a good Sect Leader? "Why did you become a servant girl?"

"Master, please sit and listen to what I have to say."

Black Rock invited Bai Wuxia to sit down and told him about what had happened recently. Bai Wuxia sighed and said, "You are truly an unpredictable person. You are my disciple and you are a servant to me, and I am your master. Do you think that my master and disciples owe this person a favor?"

Duan Ru hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Senior Bai, I don't dare to accept you as my disciple. My power is only at the Cloud level, while yours is at the Lightning level. You should be more or less my master."

"That's the size of your inner strength. You're the senior in the field of alchemy." Duan Meng Lian apologised, "Senior, don't say that. If you want to learn pill refining, I'll just teach you everything. Don't ever say that you want to become my disciple."

When Bai Wuxia heard this, he felt relieved in his heart. If he had become his teacher, it would be hard to say. His disciple was a servant of someone else, and if he became her disciple, it would be hard to say if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Master, why are you here as well?"

Bai Wuxia sighed, "It's all because of love. All these years, I've seen clearly that there is no true love in this world, only eternal benefits."

"It can't be. Master, aren't you a good match with Flowerless?"

In the past, in order to follow him, I took the initiative to resign as the head of the sect and wandered the world with him. In the beginning, I loved him dearly, but after experiencing a ruthless blow, Hua Wuque abandoned me to learn the strongest martial arts in the world, and then joined the Earth Sect. I begged and pleaded with him, but he remained indifferent, and then he simply disappeared.

Duan Meng was a bit confused.

"Senior, then why did you come to study pill refining and take the exam?"

"In order to survive, I learned how to concoct pills. Initially, it was just for living that I concocted some Tier 1 spiritual pills, but gradually, I fell in love with it and became a Tier 3 pill refiner. As you recently formed your Alchemy Association, I became curious and wanted to learn your Tier 5 alchemy."

"Hehe! Master, you don't need to acknowledge me as your master. I'll call the young master to teach you!"

"Silly girl, this level 5 pill refining technique is not just a piece of stone or tile, it is a secret that cannot be passed down. If you were to casually teach it to others, I would have to show you something."

As Bai Wuxia spoke, he took out something from his chest.
