Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 51: Alchemy task

Suddenly realizing, Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he agreed easily, it meant he could easily complete the task.

"This...this is difficult to complete..."

Chen Shouyi thought to himself, "That's why it's difficult to complete!" He waved his hand decisively, "It must be completed. It's either completing the task or not participating at all. You choose!"

The other three alchemy disciples showed expressions of delight, while Hong Qing showed an envious and jealous expression. Although he didn't care about these Qi Refining Pills, even mosquito legs were still meat! In the future, it could be used to win people's hearts or reward others without spending anything. Why couldn't he get this good thing?

"Okay, I agree...but the time should be more lenient. I don't know if I can complete it."

"That's okay, don't worry. If you can do it, no one will dare to bully you in the future!"

He even glanced at Hong Qing as he spoke.

Mi Xiaojing thought to himself, "No one else will bully me, but you will! You old bastard!" Although he thought he could easily complete the task, he was really unhappy about being directly extorted like this.

Hong Qing was furious, but he didn't show any change in expression on his face. He just looked deeply at Mi Xiaojing.

Mi Xiaojing was frightened by his gaze and suddenly understood that Hong Qing had his eyes on him.

Guan Shangli then took out a prescription for alchemy and said, "The Qi Refining Pills are only used for testing and assessment. What you will refine below are not Qi Refining Pills, but Clear Tranquility Pills, which are low-level elixirs used for healing. You must complete the task within ten days...this is specified. As for what elixir to refine specifically, we'll talk about it later!"

"Also, Hong Senior Brother will explain how to refine this elixir to you!"

Hong Qing's impatience was clearly evident on his face, but this was the task of Grass-Benevolence Hall, and he had to complete it.

Chen Shouyi said lightly, "I'll be listening on the side. If there are any mistakes, I'll supplement them."

Hong Qing began to explain, and the four disciples sat cross-legged on the ground, listening attentively. However, although Mi Xiaojing had his eyes wide open and looked serious to the point of obsession, he was actually talking to Wang Weijun.

"This kind of crappy teaching is simply garbage. Misleading and useless. Stupid and ignorant. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Is this guy trying to kill people with his explanation?"

A series of curses. Wang Weijun was extremely disdainful. In his opinion, everything Hong Qing said was dog shit, not even worth a penny of value.Mi Xiaojing said, "At least he is an alchemist, and he must have some strength."

"What strength? He's a piece of shit! A dog shit alchemist! If you follow his method to refine pills, even an experienced alchemist can only produce low-grade pills."

Wang Weijun, who looked like a grandmaster of alchemy, criticized Hong Qing's method of refining pills in Mi Xiaojing's mind.

Mi Xiaojing asked, "Since he's not good enough, can you tell me how to refine the Clear Tranquility Pill?"

Wang Weijun was stunned and said helplessly, "Do I have to teach you? You're such an idiot...anyone can refine any low-grade pill and produce top-grade pills. Is my teaching the same as that dog shit alchemist? That's an insult to me!"

The other three disciples were different. They had never refined the Clear Tranquility Pill before, and they listened attentively to every word Hong Qing said. With the memory of cultivators, they could remember every word without forgetting anything. This was the strength of cultivators.

Once an ordinary person enters cultivation, even if they only reach the Qi Refining stage, they will have the instinct to remember everything they see.

Remembering this content was not difficult for anyone.

After two hours, it was almost dark, and Hong Qing finally stopped. He said, "If you have any questions, you can ask...but only one question per person!"

The three disciples had many questions in their minds, but they could only ask one question each. They were in a dilemma, but they had no choice. Hong Qing said he would answer one question, and that was it. So the three of them quickly discussed and gathered their questions before asking.

When it was Mi Xiaojing's turn, he asked a very simple question. After Hong Qing answered, he stood up and said, "Starting tomorrow, you have ten days to produce six Clear Tranquility Pills. You should understand the rules by now."

Everyone nodded, and Chen Shouyi and Hong Qing left.

Guan Shangli said, "Well, you were lucky today. In the Heart Sect, opportunities and luck are equally important. You seized the opportunity and had good luck. Work hard from now on, and I believe that someone among you can make further progress."

"Follow me to get your identity badges and the spirit stones for this month."Mi Xiaojing walked out of Grass-Benevolence Hall and saw Mu Xiaoyin sitting on a stone, her little head nodding forward as if she was about to fall asleep. He felt warmth in his heart, knowing that she had been waiting for him these past few days.

"Xiaoyin, wake up... your drool is dripping on the ground..."

Mu Xiaoyin jolted up like a rabbit and exclaimed, "Who's drooling? Who? Who's drooling... Ah, Xiaojun, you're finally here. Did you pass the test?"

Before Mi Xiaojing could answer, she continued excitedly, "You don't know, the whole Grass-Benevolence Hall is buzzing. If you pass, you can become a Pill Master... it's so thrilling!"

Helpless, Mi Xiaojing watched her jump around. After a while, she finally calmed down and asked, "By the way, did you pass the test?"

"Yeah, I'm one of them. I can become an apprentice in Alchemy."

"Wow... Ah? Ah... Ah..."

"Who's making noise outside? Shut up!"

A loud shout echoed in Grass-Benevolence Hall, scaring Mi Xiaojing. He grabbed Mu Xiaoyin's hand and ran away. Anyone here could easily kill them both.

They ran all the way and arrived at the small courtyard. Mi Xiaojing was surprised and asked, "Hey, is the house fixed?"

Luo Bo ran out and said, "Xiao Mi gege, Xiaoyin jiejie." Following Mi Xiaojing, he became less aggressive. Occasionally, a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes, a reminder of the pain from his childhood.

Mi Xiaojing patted his head and asked, "Have you been hungry these past few days?"

"No, the cafeteria people bring food."

At that moment, someone carried a box and said, "These are daily necessities for the senior brother from Grass-Benevolence Hall."

Inside the large camphorwood box were a complete set of Pill Master clothing and some daily necessities. The treatment was completely different now.

Mi Xiaojing looked forward to tomorrow when he could finally start practicing Alchemy.
