Chapter 73: Ninth Grade Dan Master

Chapter 73 – Ninth Grade Dan Master
“Here for the alliance entry test?” The guards brought Chen Fei to a place where a female deacon received him.

“Yes.” Chen Fei nodded and said, “I wonder if the test can have any requirements?”

“Of course.”

Qin Jinglan nodded slightly, a warm smile on her face as she said, “Recently, there have been many people wanting to join the Dan Master Alliance, and the requirements have been raised a bit in comparison to the past; one must successfully refine Light Spirit Pills, and the pills must be of excellent quality.”

“Then can we test today?” Hearing the requirements, Chen Fei was instantly energized.

“An application is required, and the test fee is one thousand taels. If Your Excellency can pass the test, the test fee is returned, otherwise the test fee will be used for the development of the alliance.”

Chen Fei’s expression moved slightly, it seemed that this was to prevent those with insufficient strength from randomly coming to the test and wasting the manpower and resources within the alliance.

“May be.” Chen Fei did not object.

Qin Jinglan’s right hand drew in vain and led Chen Fei to the counter, where the application procedure was slightly cumbersome, paying money to register. After a few moments, Qin Jinglan led Chen Fei to a row of dan chambers, a few of which had closed doors, in which someone should be refining pills.

“If you fail the first test, the next one must be half a year later, and the test fee is doubled, has Your Excellency considered it clearly?” Qin Jinglan reminded again.

“Thanks for the reminder.” Chen Fei said with a faint smile.

Qin Jinglan nodded and guided Chen Fei to one of the dan rooms, saying, “Please refine the Light Spirit Pill within half an hour, exceeding the time will be considered a failure of the test.”

Chen Fei glanced around, filled with various medicinal herbs, the herbs were mixed together and obviously needed to be sorted out by the dan master himself. Chen Fei turned his head and glanced at Qin Jinglan, who raised the retention stone in her hand, signaling that he could begin.

If the examination was passed, the shadow-retaining stone would remain in the Dan Room Alliance and could be accessed at any time to prevent favoritism.

Chen Fei stepped forward and easily found the herbs needed for the Light Spirit Pill amongst the various herbs.

Chen Fei simply cleaned the Dan furnace on the ground, built a fire to set up the furnace, and waited for the furnace to heat up, Chen Fei threw in all the herbs for the Light Spirit Pill.

Qin Jinglan stood aside and frowned slightly.

Nothing was wrong with Chen Fei’s steps, but the movements were a little too big, or a little sloppy. And the order in which the herbs were placed, there was also a bit of a problem, there was no such thing as pouring them all in at once, it was too much like a novice.

There is also a more critical, the fire under the furnace, give too much.

Alchemy is the need to control the fire, the flame is too large, the speed of pills is faster, but the difficulty of control is straight up. Therefore, the Alliance test, deliberately gave half an hour, is to let the Dan master do not rush.

After all, alchemy this kind of thing, slow work can produce fine work.

Qin Jinglan felt that Chen Fei was afraid that this furnace of pills would blow up.

Chen Fei didn’t know what Qin Jinglan thought, he just followed the usual rhythm of alchemy, using his internal energy to constantly adjust the changes in the medicinal properties within the furnace.

This was the best way to produce the fastest pills without affecting the quality, which Chen Fei had practiced on his own. Whether it was suitable for others or not, Chen Fei did not know, but it was suitable for Chen Fei himself anyway.

Otherwise, with nearly a hundred Light Spirit Pills a day, even with a high rate of pills, Chen Fei would not be able to finish them within a few hours. What was pursued, was efficiency.

In Qin Jinglan’s gaze as she waited for the furnace to blow up, a wisp of medicinal fragrance began to waft out within the dan room.

Qin Jinglan sniffed her nose, there were some surprises amongst her expression, this medicinal fragrance, it didn’t look like it was going to blow up the furnace. Even after so many years of smelling the flavor of pills, Qin Jinglan felt that this furnace of pills, the quality of the pills later on, could possibly be very outstanding.

Qin Jinglan looked at Chen Fei with some surprise, her eyes changing slightly.

This kind of thing, alchemy, was the last thing that could be faked. At this moment, putting aside her initial prejudice, Qin Jinglan looked at Chen Fei’s movements in alchemy again, and he actually appeared to be quite agile and at ease.

“Boom!”

A quarter of an hour had just passed when Chen Fei slapped his palm on the lid of the furnace, sending out a muffled sound that also woke up Qin Jinglan who was at the side.

“Is this okay?”

Chen Fei took out the elixir and placed it on a plate to the side, handing it over to Qin Jinglan. Qin Jinglan couldn’t hide the admiration in her eyes as she looked at the full and jade-like Light Spirit Pill on the porcelain plate. A Lightness Spirit Pill of this caliber could not be refined at all if one did not completely consume the formula.

Qin Jinglan had witnessed many tests, but this caliber of Light Spirit Dan had only been seen a handful of times, and it was crucial that Chen Fei had just refined it at such a fast speed.

“It still needs to be verified.”

Qin Jinglan gave a slight yawn and collected the shadow-retaining stone, her attitude changing quite a bit as she said, “Please, sir, follow me.”

Chen Fei smiled faintly and followed behind Qin Jinglan, arriving at a counter. Qin Jinglan handed over the porcelain plate as well as the shadow retention stone, and after an incense stick of time, the pills and shadow retention stone were quickly verified.

The Alliance’s people confirmed the information with Chen Fei, and then a jade tablet was placed in front of Chen Fei.

“This is your identification within the Dan Master Alliance, please keep it.” Qin Jinglan respectfully handed over the jade token.

Chen Fei took it and looked at the Dan Furnace carved on the jade pendant, a smile could not help but appear on his face, finally there was a background backer, the Ever Floating Dan could finally be sold up without having to worry about being approached.

“Right, do they sell Dan Formulas within the Alliance?” Chen Fei turned his head and asked.

“Not for sale.” Qin Jinglan shook her head and said, “But you can exchange it with the contribution value within the alliance.”

“Contribution value?” Chen Fei frowned slightly.

“You can earn contribution value by completing the tasks issued by the Alliance. Or by dedicating the Dan formula that you have researched to the Alliance, and after evaluating it, you will also be rewarded with contribution value.”

Qin Jinglan smiled and said, “Contribution value can not only be used to exchange for Dan formulas, but if the contribution value is sufficient, one can also issue missions. The content of the mission can basically be released as long as it doesn’t harm others.”

Chen Fei suddenly realized that this was somewhat similar to the sects, for the sake of both increasing the loyalty of the people underneath. Otherwise, a lot of free things would actually be hard to exchange for gratitude.

“Would there be a difference in status between knowing how to refine Light Spirit Pills, and knowing how to refine Ever Floating Pills?”

“Of course there will be a difference, if Gongzi can refine the Ever Floating Dan, and the quality and medicinal effect passes the test, he can be promoted from a Ninth Grade Dan Master to an Eighth Grade Dan Master. Some of the Alliance’s quests, sometimes there are restrictions and must be taken by a high grade Dan Master.” Qin Jinglan’s eyes were bright as she looked at Chen Fei, and there was already a hint of dissimilarity among her eyes.

Such a young 8th grade Dan Master? Black was a bit darker, but his figure was upright, and on closer inspection, he was actually quite durable.

Chen Fei dawned, even the Dan master classification, but think about it is normal, after all, often floating Dan single use of herbs, than the light spirit Dan a lot more, refining difficulty is straight up.

It can be very obvious to distinguish between the two levels of alchemy, but also facilitate the management of the Alliance.

“I would like to apply for the examination of an eighth grade Dan Master.”

Chen Fei looked towards Qin Jinglan, after this period of time of constantly refining Light Spirit Dan, Chen Fei had long piled up his proficiency in Ever Floating Dan to the level of Great Perfection.

It was time, to show his skill.

“Please wait a moment, sir, allow me to report this.” Qin Jinglan headed off into the distance, only to return after quite a long time.

“Your Excellency, please follow me.”

Qin Jinglan gave a slight yawn and led Chen Fei towards the Dan Room. The two of them arrived in front of the Dan Room, where an old Dan Master was actually already waiting.

This eighth grade dan master’s examination had become even stricter.

“Gongzi, you may begin.”

Inside the dan room, Qin Jinglan softly said.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Chen Fei always felt that Qin Jinglan’s voice, compared to just now, was much softer.

Uh, pleasing to the ear! Good to listen to!
