Ye Liuyun took the booklet and stood to the side to carefully examine the rules.
First, to enter the Alchemy Pavilion to refine medicine, one needed to obtain the qualification of an Entry-Level Alchemist. For Ye Liuyun, this condition was definitely a piece of cake.
After becoming an Entry-Level Alchemist, one could enter the Alchemy Pavilion to refine medicine. You could choose to accept tasks issued by the Alchemy Pavilion or tasks posted by other Disciples.
You could accept as many Alchemy tasks as you wanted, but you had to finish refining within the specified time. If you didn't complete the task, there were two ways to solve it.
The first way: pay for the missing Medicinal Pills yourself to make up for it.
The second way: the Sect would deduct your monthly stipend for the next few months to make up for it, and you would also have to accept punishment.
The punishment depended on the severity of your violation; the more serious it was, the heavier the punishment, and you might even be forbidden from entering the Alchemy Pavilion again.
Then there were other rules: every time you accepted a task, you could go to the Medicinal Herbs storage room to collect the corresponding amount of Medicinal Herbs—one Medicinal Pill per portion of herbs.
When Ye Liuyun saw this, she suddenly laughed. One Medicinal Pill per portion of herbs? Just kidding, when she refined Medicinal Pills, she always produced at least ten pills per portion of herbs.
In other words, this meant she could basically get many Medicinal Pills and Medicinal Herbs from the Alchemy Pavilion for free.
"Tsk tsk, this place is definitely tailor-made for me. I've decided to live here," Ye Liuyun was overjoyed in her heart.
After reading the booklet, Ye Liuyun returned it to the youth.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I've finished reading it. I wonder who I should find for the Entry-Level assessment?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.
"Oh, usually, my Master conducts the assessment, but my Master is not here today. After all, so many things happened yesterday, and as an Elder, my Master needs to help the Sect Master share the pressure. However, since my Master is not here, my Senior Sister can conduct the assessment on his behalf. My Senior Sister is in her exclusive Alchemy Room. I'll take you there," the youth smiled and said.
Ye Liuyun nodded gratefully and followed him into the Alchemy Pavilion.
A moment later, on the first floor, outside a relatively secluded Alchemy Room.
The youth who led Ye Liuyun walked to the door of the Alchemy Room and took out his identity token to contact the Senior Sister of the Alchemy Pavilion inside.
The so-called Senior Sister of the Alchemy Pavilion generally referred to a Personal Disciple of Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao's Personal Disciple was named Nalan Yan, who was in the Lingwen Realm and was also a Blue Grade Alchemist. In other words, she could refine Blue Grade Medicinal Pills at most.
After the youth finished contacting his Senior Sister, the door of the Alchemy Room was opened. The youth immediately walked in with a smile to explain the situation to the person inside.
After speaking, the youth walked out and signaled for Ye Liuyun to go in.
"Junior Sister, go in. Senior Sister said the assessment can proceed," the youth said.
Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and walked in. After she entered, the door of the Alchemy Room closed again. She also saw a cold, aloof woman fiddling with some Medicinal Herbs in the Alchemy Room.
The attire of a Personal Disciple was almost the same as that of a Core Disciple; the only difference was that a Personal Disciple had a white xiapei on her.
"Yo, a great beauty?" After Ye Liuyun came in and saw Nalan Yan, she couldn't help but praise.
Although the attire of Disciples above the Elementary level in the Yunxia Sect was similar, Female Disciples with temperament and beauty could still be distinguished at a glance.
"Greetings, Senior Sister. My name is Ye Liuyu, and I am here to take the assessment," Ye Liuyun introduced herself.
Nalan Yan glanced at Ye Liuyun slightly, then said with slight surprise.
"An Entry-Level Disciple? Why aren't you focusing on your training instead of running to the Alchemy Pavilion? Have you already broken through to the Lingxi Realm?" Nalan Yan asked.
"Yes, Senior Sister. Before I entered the Sect, I was already in the Lingxi Realm," Ye Liuyun replied.
Hearing this, Nalan Yan understood.
"Understood. You can directly use my medicine furnace to refine medicine. As long as you can refine a White Grade Medicinal Pill, that will suffice. Any kind will do," Nalan Yan signaled.
Ye Liuyun nodded and walked to Nalan Yan's medicine furnace.
"Senior Sister, I want to refine a White Grade Spirit Gathering Pill. I wonder if there are Medicinal Herbs available?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Hearing this, Nalan Yan waved her hand, and several portions of Medicinal Herbs for refining Spirit Gathering Pills flew towards Ye Liuyun and landed beside her.
"These are three portions of Medicinal Herbs for the Spirit Gathering Pill. You only have three chances. If you don't succeed in three times, come back next month. Every Disciple only has one chance to take the assessment each month," Nalan Yan explained.
After listening, Ye Liuyun didn't waste time.
"Alright, I'll begin." Ye Liuyun raised her hand and skillfully released a flame that looked like emerald jade into the medicine furnace.
This was not a normal flame; it was the Ten Thousand Medicine Immortal Fire, a flame from the ten thousand medicine immortal cauldron. Theoretically, it belonged to a type of exotic fire. So-called exotic fires were fires naturally born between heaven and earth, and there were many types of such flames.
For an Alchemist, an exotic fire was an absolute treasure, but whether one could subdue an exotic fire depended on luck and strength.
This Ten Thousand Medicine Immortal Fire was an exotic fire that Lin Qingyou had once obtained, named Emerald Glazed Fire. After attaining Immortal Ascension, the Emerald Glazed Fire merged with her Medicine Cauldron and became a part of the ten thousand medicine immortal cauldron.
And after Ye Liuyun met Lin Qingyou, Lin Qingyou gave the fire seed from the Ten Thousand Medicine Immortal Fire to Ye Liuyun.
She no longer needed it, so Ye Liuyun was equivalent to possessing an exotic fire, but this kind of exotic fire was more powerful and special than any other exotic fire in this world.
"Eh? A green flame? What kind of flame is this? Could it be an exotic fire?" Nalan Yan was shocked after seeing the flame released by Ye Liuyun. She hurriedly put down what she was doing and walked over.
However, she did not disturb Ye Liuyun's Alchemy, and at the same time, she was not sure that this was an exotic fire; it was just that the color was not normal.
She observed carefully and found that this flame was very gentle, just like an ordinary flame, and did not look like an exotic fire, as exotic fires were very violent.
"Scared me. I thought it was an exotic fire. Turns out it's not. It should just be that the Cultivation Technique this Little Girl practices is quite special," Nalan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
But immediately, Ye Liuyun's actions attracted her attention again. She saw Ye Liuyun fluidly injecting portions of Medicinal Herbs into the medicine furnace.
"This Little Girl is too impatient, isn't she? Why did she throw all the Medicinal Herbs into the medicine furnace in one go? This is not suitable for refinement," Nalan Yan felt that Ye Liuyun was a bit of a layman.
But she was immediately slapped in the face, because after the Medicinal Herbs for refining the Spirit Gathering Pill entered the medicine furnace, they were all purified very quickly, and there was no situation where the Medicinal Herbs were burned.
"This? No way? Purifying three portions of Medicinal Herbs in one go?" Nalan Yan was stunned on the spot, and she couldn't help but take a look at Ye Liuyun.
Because the Alchemy talent that Ye Liuyun displayed was extraordinary.
She couldn't help but sit down beside Ye Liuyun and carefully observe Ye Liuyun's Alchemy.
After the Medicinal Herbs were purified, the next step was to fuse the essence. After the essence was fused, it was then fused with the pill powder, and finally, the pill was formed. After the pill was formed, it still needed to be tempered by fire, and finally, the essence was perfectly integrated into the pill powder. Only then could it be considered a successful refinement.
Three minutes...
"Done." Ye Liuyun retracted her Ten Thousand Medicine Immortal Fire, and three white Medicinal Pills rolled out of the medicine furnace.
This time refining medicine was probably the most tiring time for Ye Liuyun; she even broke into a sweat.
Of course, the reason for being tired was not because it was difficult, but because she had to restrain her Alchemy standard.
This was already the maximum restraint.
