C169 The Difference Between the Ranks of Apothecaries
That angry and shy look made Zhu Ziqiao particularly attractive. In addition, she had been cultivating all year round, which made her tall figure and excellent temperament. Her entire person was filled with a touch of charm.
Lin Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the knocking on the door again, "Knock knock knock!"
He could not help but snort, but he saw Zhu Ziqiao pursing her lips and smiling. Her beautiful eyes were full of smiles.
"Girl, you are provoking me like this. You want to play with fire and burn your body!"
Lin Cheng glared at her fiercely. Then he turned his head and shouted angrily, "What is it?"
"Pill Master Lin, a servant of Unification Hall requests an audience. He said that he wants to inform all alchemists to gather in the front hall." Su Mingsheng's voice came from outside the door.
"I know, I'll be right there!"
Lin Cheng said and stood up, "Little girl, since it's someone from the Unification Hall looking for you, you don't have to come with me. Just take a stroll in the city."
Jiangzhou City could be said to be bustling with life. Zhu Ziqiao was in the most beautiful time of her life as a young girl. However, because of her past experiences and the fact that she had to follow him, she was rarely as cute and lively as before.
Lin Cheng originally wanted to accompany her to stroll around the city, but unfortunately, there were always people coming to visit these two days. At this moment, he was still unable to leave, so he could only let her go by herself.
"You can go. I'm not a child, you don't need to worry!" Zhu Ziqiao said.
"Remember, let the maids in the hall accompany you out." Lin Cheng reminded again.
Although the Jiangzhou City was prosperous, it was not peaceful, especially for a beautiful girl like Zhu Ziqiao.
This was because there were not only Cultivating Warrior and alchemists in the Jiangzhou City. There were also disciples from the Unification Sect who came here to buy or sell some items, or to use this place as their base to prepare to leave the sect.
Even the higher ups of the Unification Hall, including the Great Deacon Du Zhongqi, would not deliberately make things difficult for him. However, these disciples would not put him in their eyes.
With the experience of Cheng Qinluo forcing Zhu Ziqiao to be his personal maid in Boundless Forest, Lin Cheng no longer had any respect for these disciples. He was only wary of them.
These disciples were also human beings. Some of them were impulsive and lustful. Even though Zhu Ziqiao didn't put on any makeup, she was still charming and moving. Her beauty was shocking. It was hard to guarantee that those sect disciples would not have any bad intentions after seeing Zhu Ziqiao.
Zhu Ziqiao rolled her eyes at him. She said in annoyance, "Do you think everyone is as bad as you!"
Lin Cheng did not argue with her and only said, "Remember, do not go out alone. You must let the maids accompany you."
After repeatedly reminding Zhu Ziqiao, he opened the door and walked to the front hall.
Su Mingsheng carefully followed behind Lin Cheng. If he originally thought of Lin Cheng as an ordinary alchemist, but after Lin Cheng passed the test with the first place, Su Mingsheng became very respectful.
As long as such an outstanding alchemist didn't die, his future would be limitless.
As for the Cultivating Warrior, any outstanding alchemist... Furthermore, they had to maintain a good relationship with the ___. This was because an alchemist could easily help the Cultivating Warrior overcome the simplest bottleneck with just a simple thought. It could change the life of the Cultivating Warrior.
In the front hall.
Including Lin Cheng, the ten alchemists who passed the examination were all in the list.
In front of the ten of them was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe. The sleeves of the man's white robe were embroidered with a golden cross pattern. It dazzled Lin Cheng and the others because of the pattern. It represented the Deacon of the Unification Sect.
This also meant that this white-robed middle-aged man in front of them... His status in the Unification Sect was even higher than the previous Yan Daoji, because Yan Daoji was an inner circle disciple of the Deacon. And this middle-aged man stood out from the inner circle disciples. Because of his outstanding performance, he had been promoted to an inner circle disciple.
"My surname is Huang. You can call me Deacon Huang."
The middle-aged man gave a simple description of his identity, then he said, "Today, I have asked you all to come here. I am here on behalf of the Unification Sect to discuss alchemy with you. We have seven days to learn from each other. All of you are renowned alchemists in the outside world. Naturally, your comprehension ability isn't bad, so I hope that within these seven days... All of you will be able to gain something from it. "
Lin Cheng and the others could not help but feel energized. They hurriedly cupped their fists and said, "Deacon Huang, please give us some guidance!"
Although Deacon Huang claimed to be learning from each other, as long as they weren't idiots, they would understand that he was just saying something humble.
This Deacon Huang was clearly proficient in alchemy, and a cultivator alchemist needed to learn from them?
It was obvious that Deacon Huang was here to guide them, so the people present naturally wouldn't be so arrogant. They really believed that there was something in their body that was worth learning from the cultivator.
Even Lin Cheng had a very serious attitude at this moment. He was prepared to learn something from Deacon Huang. The guidance of a cultivator alchemist would not give an ordinary person such a chance even in death!
"Before we exchange pointers, I would like to ask all of you. Do you all understand the difference between the realms of an alchemist?" Deacon Huang asked.
Everyone hesitated for a moment, and after a while, someone said, "Alchemists are divided into several grades. How many grades can the pill reach and the grade of the pill that can be refined be differentiated?"
"This is only the outside world. Or it should be said that this is only the way to differentiate the alchemists in Mortal Realm, but it is not suitable for the entire Nine-prefecture Continent."
Deacon Huang shook his head and said, "Whether it is the cultivator or the Cultivating Warrior, the entire Nine-prefecture Continent is about the realm of alchemists. The more uniform classification is, from low to high. There are Mortal Realm, Profound Realm, Spirit Realm, and a few other major realms. "
"The more common way to address you is the Mortal Pill Master, the Profound Pill Master. Spirit Pill Master, and so on. Those below the Core Sea Stage are unable to use Spirit Power to concoct pills. According to the description of the cultivator, they were all mortal alchemists. From the Profound realm onwards, only the cultivator could be achieved, because alchemists above the Profound realm... Only those who use the Spirit Power to refine the pill can be addressed in such a manner. "
"Starting from the Profound realm, every realm is further divided into nine grades. The main classification is based on the quality of the pill that can be refined. This point is different from what you said."
Deacon Huang's last sentence was said to the alchemist who answered his question earlier.
Seeing Deacon Huang's kind attitude, the alchemist received encouragement and could not help but ask, "Excuse me, Deacon Huang, you said that there are only nine grades starting from the Profound realm. How are the Mortal Pill Master divided?"
"The Mortal Pill Master is the Mortal Pill Master. If one is unable to use the Spirit Power to refine pills, it can only be described as superficial, or it can be considered to be acceptable."
Deacon Huang said, "Perhaps you can also divide it according to your habits. This is not important because, most of the time, pill that do not need the Spirit Power to refine cannot be considered a pill."
That alchemist could not help but feel stifled when he heard this. He could not help but smile coyly.
The other alchemists were also a little embarrassed. It turned out that in the eyes of the cultivator, the pill refined by these alchemists couldn't be considered a pill at all.
Lin Cheng, on the other hand, was thinking about another problem. He cupped his fists and said, "May I ask Deacon Huang, you said that this is the case most of the time. In other words, there were very few times when the pill of the Mortal Pill Master was still useful. What kind of situation is this? Other than that, can I trouble Deacon Huang to explain every realm above the Profound realm?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's question, Deacon Huang gave Lin Cheng a slightly surprised look and said, "This is not just a question, but the first question you asked was very good!"
Lin Cheng pretended to listen and cupped his fists, saying, "I hope Deacon Huang can give me some guidance."
"The Mortal Pill Master uses Yuan energy to refine the pill. It uses one's own body to guide heaven and earth Yuan Qi to pour into the pill. Not only did the pill have the medicinal properties of the original medicinal herbs, but it also had the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to nourish it. The medicinal effects will be greatly enhanced. For this process, the Mortal Pill Master is not much different from an alchemist at the Profound realm or above. "
Deacon Huang shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, the process is only the process. Refining pill. It depends on the medicinal effects of the final refinement. As for Yuan Qi and Spirit Qi, they are two completely different types of energies in this world. Furthermore, there is an enormous gap between the two of them. It can even be said that there is a world of difference. "
Lin Cheng and the others couldn't help but nod their heads slightly. Although what Deacon Huang said was too direct, they knew that this was the truth.
Just like the difference between the Cultivating Warrior and the cultivator, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Hence, the person who used origin energy and the person who used spirit energy were separated by a huge chasm that was like a heavenly chasm. They could not be compared at all!
And what Lin Cheng wanted to know now was that in the rare few times that Deacon Huang spoke of, the pill refined by a Mortal Pill Master was useful. He wanted to know what sort of situation it was that was useful.
This was because being able to be evaluated as useful by the cultivator was absolutely not just because it had some medicinal effects. It definitely had an extraordinary meaning.
Therefore, he quietly listened and waited for Deacon Huang's answer.
"Logically speaking, no matter what, spiritual energy is incomparable to Yuan Qi. The two are simply incomparable. Therefore, the pill refined using Yuan Qi is also not worth mentioning."
Deacon Huang said, "But there is no absolute rule in the world. In Nine-prefecture Continent, the world revolves with a mysterious and vast and terrifying law. It is not completely unreasonable for Yuan Qi and spiritual energy to coexist in this world. However, most of the time, under the light of the spiritual Qi... That's all. "
When Deacon Huang mentioned the Nine-prefecture Continent and the rules of the world, this was a level that they had never come into contact with before. This kind of boundless and majestic feeling that existed in their chests could only be possessed by cultivator.
"But the situation that I am talking about is merely the natural law of Nine-prefecture Continent, or rather, the natural law."0
Deacon Huang said." Then, in a world that does not belong to the Nine-prefecture Continent, even in a plane, does it have to be the law of spiritual energy that suppresses origin energy? This was hard to say, but one thing was certain. There must be some worlds where spiritual energy could not suppress vitality. In fact, the two of them simply cannot coexist. Yuan Qi is the only thing that matters!"
