Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were five types of spirit herbs in front of He Qingge. Each of them looked harmless and harmless.
However, every two of them combined would produce a lethal poison or an abnormal effect.
It was not easy to eat them perfectly. Not only did one need to have sufficient medicinal experience and eyesight, but one also needed to be strong enough and brave enough.
He Qingge scanned the surroundings. Everyone had five different types of spirit herbs in front of them, just like him.
It was not entirely different, but some people had changed one or two.
At the very least, no one around He Qingge was like him, so the possibility of plagiarism and cheating was avoided.
Other than the alchemists who were participating in the assessment, there were more spectators.
The vast square was filled with people taking the test, surrounded by layers and layers of spectators.
Some of them were apothecaries who had lost their qualifications in the previous selection, and some were ordinary cultivators.
Layers upon layers of them formed a human wall. It could be seen how eye-catching the assessment this time was.
There were simply too many people. Fortunately, the area of influence of the single tower was very, very large.
Otherwise, it might not be able to accommodate so many people.
A large number of people also drove the entire Pill Tower’s commerce. The spirit stone transactions in the entire Pill Tower had increased several times in a short few months.
Spirit stones were considered the most basic currency for all immortal cultivators. Even spirit coins were refined from spirit stones.
Large factions usually collected spirit stones, while small factions usually traded spirit coins with itinerant cultivators.
After all, spirit stones could not be used directly for cultivation. The impurities in them had to be refined before they could be used for cultivation.
The large factions were not afraid of this. On the contrary, they could earn profits from it and even further oppress and exploit the itinerant cultivators and small and medium-sized factions.
He Qingge looked at the spirit herbs in front of him and hesitated. It was not an unsolvable problem for him.
However, he was not 100% sure that it would not cause any toxicity after consuming it.
He recognized all these spirit herbs, but the specific age and growing environment could affect the spirit herbs.
Compared to the five spiritual herbs in front of He Qingge, they looked very ordinary, but their growing environment was slightly different.
This was because their medicinal properties were slightly different from those of the spiritual herbs that grew in normal environments.
This was the result of He Qingge’s careful observation.
In other words, the difficulty of the first stage had already reached a rather abnormal level. It was likely that the first stage would be able to eliminate 60 to 70% of the people.
Those who could participate in the assessment and even pass the entrance selection were basically considered geniuses.
After all, breaking through to the Golden Core realm within a hundred years was already quite impressive for many factions.
Not to mention that he was a Grade Three Alchemist. Even in the Heavenly Profound Sect, he was considered a treasure.
He Qingge estimated that about 60 to 70% of the people would be eliminated.
The spirit herbs they gave were not ordinary spirit herbs that grew normally. They would be mixed with specially cultivated spirit herbs.
If he couldn’t detect this, then failure was inevitable.
Of course, the result of this test was that as long as one ate these five kinds of spiritual medicines, their body would not have any problems and they could pass.
If one possessed a special spell, a special secret technique, or a body that was particularly strong enough to withstand the consequences, they could also pass the assessment.
Therefore, He Qingge was not afraid of the first test at all. He had the Innumerable Calamity Indestructible True Body. Even if he did not combine their medicinal properties to produce a non-toxic effect, he would not die using the Innumerable Calamity Indestructible True Body. It could even help him strengthen his body.
He Qingge picked up the one in the middle. It looked like a purple grape. After swallowing it, it instantly burned like a flame.
The blood in his entire body seemed to be burning, and his entire body turned red.
However, the individual effects of the spirit herbs were not poisonous. The spirit herbs alone were not poisonous.
The other method was to perfectly digest each spirit herb before consuming the next one.
After all, their individual spirit herbs were not poisonous.
This was also the method He Qingge planned to use. Although the Indestructible True Body could withstand it head-on and even strengthen his own body, it was not a bad idea.
However, there was no need to show off in this kind of assessment. He was already quite outstanding. After all, he was here to participate in this kind of assessment.
If the poison effect did not harm him after he consumed the spirit medicine, others would estimate his strength greatly, which was not beneficial for him to walk in the Pill Saint’s mvqtic realm
However, this method was actually not suitable for normal people to use.
After all, their assessment had a time limit, which was to be completed within three incense sticks ‘time.
One had to know that each stalk of spirit medicine was a Grade-3 spirit medicine. The energy within was rather huge, and the spiritual qi was very abundant. The medicinal effects were also very strong.
Even for Golden Cores, it was almost impossible to perfectly take medicine one by one in such a short period of time.
However, He Qingge was different. He had too many ways to digest it.
The first method was to guide the medicinal essence into the small world in his body, which could perfectly resolve the impact on his body.
Of course, He Qingge wouldn’t use this method in public. Although it was very secretive, He Qingge didn’t know if it would be seen through, so he wouldn’t use this method just in case..
