Chapter 289: Fifth Stage Alchemist
The three old alchemists saw Shen Xiang's sudden relaxed expression and knew that Shen Xiang must have succeeded in refining the alchemy. This also meant that Shen Xiang would become a fifth-stage alchemist. Although it was only the low-level fifth stage, it was very remarkable for Shen Xiang's current age. Thinking of Shen Xiang's promising future, the three old men were secretly envious and jealous in their hearts. They all spent their entire lives to reach the fifth-stage alchemist.
"What kind of elixir are you making?" the old woman asked as she walked over.
Chen Xiang smiled and said: "Senior, just open it and take a look, won't you know?"
The other two old men and Hua Xiangyue all gathered around. Hua Xiangyue already knew what kind of elixir Shen Xiang was refining, but she didn't expect that Shen Xiang could actually refine it successfully.
After the furnace lid was opened, a burst of golden light suddenly burst out from inside, stinging people's eyes, but it soon disappeared. Inside the furnace were two golden pills, which shocked the three old alchemists. They could not recognize what kind of pill it was, but they knew that this pill must be of the lower grade Xuan level, and it was very powerful, especially the faint aura that could affect people's spirit.
The three old men all swallowed their saliva, feeling a little embarrassed. Before, they all thought that Shen Xiang was refining a rare pill, and believed that he would definitely be able to recognize it, but now it seems that is not the case. This pill is definitely not one of those rare pills that are of little use.
"This is the Yuanshen Pill. This is the first time I've seen it." Hua Xiangyue said lightly. She took out a pill and looked at it carefully.
Shen Xiang didn't expect that even Hua Xiangyue had never refined this kind of pill, which shows how hard it is to find this medicinal ingredient.
"Yuan...Yuan Shen Pill, this is the legendary Yuan Shen Pill that can make a person's spiritual consciousness soar!" An old man was stunned. They had heard of it but didn't know the details, and they didn't even know what the recipe was.
The three old alchemists were completely stunned. Although the Yuanshen Pill was a lower-grade Xuan-level pill, it was very useful. A long time ago, this pill was going to be classified as a mid-grade Xuan-level pill, but the difficulty of refining it had not reached the mid-grade Xuan-level pill, so it was classified as a lower-grade Xuan-level pill.
This kind of pill is much more precious than the Foundation Establishment Pill. Shen Xiang not only has the medicinal materials, but he can also refine it. The three old alchemists had secretly laughed at Shen Xiang for making mistakes while refining a side-door pill. Now they know that what Shen Xiang refined was not a side-door pill, but the Yuanshen Pill, which is one of the most difficult to refine among the lower-grade Xuan-level pills.
"Are you willing to sell this Yuanshen Pill to me, Danxiang Tower? We only need one pill for display and will definitely not sell it." Hua Xiangyue asked, looking at Shen Xiang with a smile in her eyes.
The three old alchemists also wanted to buy it, but they knew that the Yuanshen Pill was extremely rare. They estimated that Shen Xiang would definitely rip them off, so they gave up.
There were still many medicinal herbs planted in Shen Xiang's small medicine garden. He could refine them in the future. It would be no big deal to sell one pill to Hua Xiangyue. He smiled and said, "Of course, we can talk about the price later. Give me the fifth-level alchemist badge first."
When Hua Xiangyue saw the cunning look on Shen Xiang's face, she knew that she was going to be tricked by Shen Xiang. She gritted her teeth secretly, took out a jade plate with five light golden stripes engraved on it, and then signed on the back of the jade plate with her blood and spiritual consciousness together with the three old alchemists.
Shen Xiang waited for a short while, and they finished. The three old alchemists exchanged some pleasantries with Shen Xiang before leaving in shame.
Hua Xiangyue poked Chen Xiang's waist and snorted, "Little rascal, when did you learn how to refine the Yuan Shen Pill?"
"I have learned it a long time ago. I am now a fifth-level alchemist. Haha..." Shen Xiang laughed while looking at the jade plate. The five golden lines dimmed a little, indicating that this is the low-level fifth level. The darker the color is, the middle-level fifth level. The brighter the golden light is, the high-level fifth level.
If Shen Xiang is tested again in the future, he only needs to ask the person in charge of Danxiang Tower to brighten the golden pattern on it. The jade plate was specially refined by Danxiang Taoyuan, and the spiritual patterns used are all very complex and mysterious.
"Don't be so proud, just name your price." Hua Xiangyue pinched his arm, feeling very unhappy when she thought about being ripped off by Shen Xiang.
Seeing her expression, Chen Xiang curled his lips and said, "Who do you think I am? I was planning to give you one from the beginning."
This was beyond Hua Xiangyue's expectation. She hurriedly touched the place where she had just pinched and said with a charming smile: "You are really my good brother. It's not in vain that I love you so much."
Hua Xiangyue had given him a mysterious beast bag before, and helped him catch a white tiger. He was grateful to Hua Xiangyue, so there was nothing wrong in giving her a pill.
After Shen Xiang gave the Yuanshen Pill to Hua Xiangyue, he hurriedly went to sign up. He went directly to find Madam Li. Madam Li had already learned from Hua Xiangyue that Shen Xiang was taking the assessment for the fifth-stage alchemist, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Mr. Shen, you...you are really a fifth-stage alchemist?" Madam Li looked at Shen Xiang's jade token, still finding it hard to believe. She had stayed in the Danxiang Tower for a long time and knew many alchemists, but this was the first time she had seen such a young fifth-stage alchemist.
"Hehe, of course it's true! I want to sign up for the advanced competition." Shen Xiang laughed. Madam Li quickly accepted this fact. She had also supervised Shen Xiang before.
After registering, Shen Xiang also asked about the content of the advanced competition, but Mrs. Li did not tell him because it had to be kept confidential. This was also to prevent the alchemists from making special preparations to deal with the competition, which was very challenging.
Soon, the circle of alchemists in Piaoxiang City was in an uproar, because a Yuanshen Pill was displayed in the Danxiang Tower. This was a lost pill, a legendary pill.
Of course, they didn't know who had refined it, and Hua Xiangyue also asked the three alchemists to keep it a secret. She couldn't let the bigwigs of those forces know that Shen Xiang was here, otherwise Shen Xiang would be in trouble. What's more, the Demonic Sect was also eyeing this competition. Although the Demonic Sect promised that they would no longer conflict with the righteous sect if they failed in the Southern Wilderness, their promise was not reliable.
What Hua Xiangyue was more worried about was that Shen Xiang, who had destroyed the Demonic Path's plan, would be targeted by the Demonic Path.
Shen Xiang did not return to the Divine Weapon Shop. Hua Xiangyue said that Liu Meng'er had not come back yet, and asked him to stay here for safety. Shen Xiang did not refuse the beauty and continued to stay here.
As soon as the Yuanshen Pill was displayed, it attracted many people to watch. Most of them were alchemists or people who were learning to make pills. The Yuanshen Pill was placed in a transparent box, which was sealed to prevent the loss of the medicinal power of the Yuanshen Pill. Although this was only a low-grade Xuan-level pill, it was so novel in the eyes of many alchemists.
Hua Xiangyue brought Shen Xiang to wander around on the Danxiang Tower. There were some medicine gardens on the Danxiang Tower. These medicine gardens were covered by the spirit gathering formation, and the water used for irrigation was specially nourished by someone with true qi. Shen Xiang saw the spiritual medicines for refining Zhenyuan Dan and Baiyu San. After careful cultivation, their growth rate would also become faster.
This also opened Shen Xiang's eyes. Just when Shen Xiang was about to go up one floor to take a look at those more precious spiritual medicines, he saw Hua Xiangyue frowning slightly.
At the same time, a voice echoed throughout the Danxiang Tower: "Who is the person in charge of the Danxiang Tower?"
"Someone is here to cause trouble!" Shen Xiang shouted hurriedly, feeling a little excited because he knew there was something interesting to watch.
Hua Xiangyue rolled her eyes at him and hurried down the tower.
