  Chapter 169 Pill Palace Assessment

  After the disciples of Qingxu Sect enter the foundation building period, they can participate in various affairs of the sect, and can sign up to enter various departments. After passing the assessment, they can become a member of the department and participate in various specific affairs.

   Entering various departments, you can also get an extra reward.

  For example, he often goes to the library, and the two purple-robed disciples who are in charge of restoring the jade slips at the door belong to the library.

  But affairs like theirs are time-consuming and the treatment is relatively low.

   In addition, there are many types to choose from, such as those who are in charge of doing business and helping the sect manage various industries.

   There are also those who secretly sneaked into various places to collect information for the sect.

   There are also Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu four halls. Outside of these four hall masters, they have the largest number of people and the best treatment, and are responsible for the external battles of the sect.

   There is also the Xing Hall Master Nei, who is mainly responsible for the sect's internal affairs, and they will deal with any violation of the sect's laws and regulations.

Qingxu Sect is a big sect that is good at alchemy, and the Pill Palace is also a very powerful department, with more than one hundred second-tier alchemists. I heard that the Pill Palace also has five third-tier alchemists. This is the other sect. Much worse.

  The Pill Palace not only refines pills for its own sect, but also refines pills for other sects for a certain amount of remuneration, which is a major source of income for the Qingxu Sect.

  Wang Hong planned to join the Alchemy Palace from the very beginning. Compared with other monks, he has always been relatively wealthy, and he also has a elixir shop in Qingxu City. It is most reasonable to explain it as an alchemist.

   Moreover, the alchemist still has a lot of opportunities to get in touch with some rare elixir, which is exactly what he needs.

  As an excellent alchemist in the Alchemy Palace, he must be a protected species. For some dangerous tasks, the Zongmen will definitely not send him to die. There are many cannon fodder, and he is not missing.

   Every year on the first day of May, it is the day for the centralized assessment of Dandian.

  First-level alchemists can also sign up to join the alchemy hall, but the conditions are relatively harsh, and there are not many disciples who can enter it.

  So, generally, those who sign up for the assessment are mainly first-tier alchemists, and second-tier alchemists are rarely seen a year.

   On this day, Wang Hong huddled among the crowd, waiting for the assessment to begin.

   "Alas! I heard that the assessment standards have been raised again, and it will be even more difficult to enter the Pill Hall this time." A disciple in the crowd had a sad face.

"Isn't it? To refine any first-level pill, the success rate must reach 80%. If I knew it, I came to the assessment last year. At that time, I thought it would be safer to practice for another year. Who knows that the standard has been raised this year. Now I'm even more uncertain." A tall and thin disciple next to him looked remorseful.

   "Hey! Only by entering the alchemy hall can one have a chance to be selected by the sect and be trained as a second-tier alchemist. If you rely on yourself alone, you will never be able to become a second-tier alchemist in your life." said the frowning monk.

   "There are some who become second-tier alchemists by themselves, but not many." The tall and thin disciple said.

   "Most of them are supported by the family. I heard that Tang Wan'er of Tianshu Peak has been able to refine the second-order pill by herself with the support of their family. I heard that the success rate of the pill is not bad."

   "I've also heard of this. I heard that she should come to take part in the Pill Hall assessment in Lingnian, but I haven't seen anyone yet."

  Wang Hong stood in the crowd, heard the discussion, and learned a lot of information.

   It turns out that the reason why so many foundation-building disciples are willing to enter the alchemy hall as first-tier alchemists is because the alchemy hall will select some outstanding ones and train them to be second-tier alchemists.

   Therefore, joining the alchemy hall is the best way to become a second-level alchemist.

   "Junior Brother, I see that you are a face-to-face student. Is it your first time to participate in the assessment?" A monk with a toothy tooth next to Wang Hong accosted him.

   "It's the first time I've come here. Do I need to take this assessment many times?" Wang Hong asked a little doubtfully.

   "That's not necessary, as long as you can pass, once."

  This monk with sharp teeth originally wanted to brag about his experience in multiple examinations, but when he heard Wang Hong asking this question, he felt embarrassed to brag about it. It is not a very honorable thing to take many exams.

   "Ah! With such harsh conditions, not many can pass in one go. Most of the people here have been here several times."

   At this moment, the door of the Pill Hall opened, and a middle-aged scribe-like Foundation Establishment cultivator walked out of it.

   "Everyone, this year's Pill Hall assessment starts now. Please line up and enter the hall one by one."

  Wang Hong followed behind the crowd and entered the main hall, where everyone stood still.

   "This assessment is still an old rule. Everyone draws lots to decide what pills they need to refine. The success rate of first-tier alchemists is a little higher than last year, and the requirement is to reach 80%."

  At this moment, another young girl walked in from the entrance of the main hall, dressed in the purple robe of Qing Xuzong.

   But his purple robe is much closer to the body than the Zongmen-style robes worn by others, as if it was tailor-made.

   "Uncle Yuan! I'm sorry I'm late!"

  Before the girl arrived, she apologized to the middle-aged scribe standing above her.

   "Niece Wan'er, you are here! It's not too late! It's not too late! I thought you wouldn't come this year."

The middle-aged scribe waited for the girls to stand in the crowd before they spoke again: "The assessment criteria for second-tier alchemists remains the same as last year, as long as you choose a second-tier elixir, you can pass the assessment with a success rate of 20%. "

   Then the middle-aged scribe took out a wooden box, which was wrapped with a layer of cloth to isolate the spiritual consciousness.

   "Everyone stepped forward to draw lots one by one to draw the pills and prescriptions that they should refine, and then went to the left to get the elixir." The middle-aged scribe put the wooden box on the table and said.

  When everyone came forward to draw lots, the bad boy also invited Wang Hong to draw together, but Wang Hong politely declined.

  After a stick of incense, only Wang Hong and the female cultivator named Tang Wan were left in the hall.

   Everyone else has drawn lots and gone to the other side to get the elixir.

   "Are both of you going to examine the second-rank alchemist?" The middle-aged scribe asked, mainly Wang Hong.

   "Exactly!" Wang Hong replied bluntly.

   "For the advanced assessment of a second-tier alchemist, you need to prepare a single prescription and spiritual medicine. Have you ever brought it?"

  The middle-aged scribe asked Wang Hong.

  Second-level elixir is not cheap. If the sect provides it for free, then, with the mentality of trying it out every year, the number of disciples who come to participate in the assessment will definitely increase greatly.

   Give it a try, and you won’t lose money. Maybe you will suddenly open your mind and accidentally succeed?

   "Bring it here, I'm going to refine Yangyuan Pill."

  Wang Hong said and handed over a storage bag for inspection, this is to prevent someone from cheating.

   "Hee hee hee! It just so happens that I am also preparing to refine the Yangyuan Pill, so let's compare and see who has a higher success rate!"

  At the same time, Tang Wan'er also handed over a storage bag.
