Mortal Ascension Record

Chapter 1970: A sudden attack, Qin Ming, the star-picking one

After leaving the palace, under the guidance of Huang Yi, the two stepped directly into the cave on one side and continued to go deeper underground, preparing to go to the fire room where the test was held.

As they continued to move forward, both the temperature and the fire element continued to rise. Even the red stone walls around them gradually turned into a smooth dark red color. Its texture was even harder and had reached the standard of spiritual materials. It was obviously the mineral material associated with the top-grade fire vein.

It's just that after many years, only some low-level spiritual materials are left. The higher-quality ores must have been mined out.

But even so, the overall value of such a large-scale low-level spiritual ore is absolutely amazing. If it were an ordinary force, it would be impossible to ignore it. It can be seen that Yuding Mountain is still as arrogant as ever.

Winding down all the way, a heat wave hit us soon, and we saw that the front was suddenly open, and a circular cave appeared again, and there were many fire chambers arranged in sequence on the stone walls on both sides, and they were clearly marked with ancient seal characters.

In addition, there was also a small attic in the center of the cave, which was made of high-quality fire jade. There were two spirit transformation monks sitting inside, who must be the deacons responsible for renting the fire chambers.

At this place, the fire energy was already extremely rich, and even the "Earth Evil Molten Flame" in Qin Tian's body seemed to sense something and began to become slightly agitated.

Huang Yi, who was standing by, also introduced:

"At the Alliance headquarters, all fire rooms are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to the strength of the ground fire. The higher the level of the fire room, the higher the rental price will be. The power of the ground fire will be stronger, but it will also be more difficult to control, and the requirements for fire control and alchemy attainments will be higher."

"So in order to prevent accidents, the Alliance headquarters has already stipulated that no matter who comes here to rent a fire room, they must be selected strictly according to the alchemist's grade. For example, fifth-level alchemists like us can only borrow the Dingzi fire room at most. If we want to go higher, we must use the sixth-level certificate as a guide."

"So that's it, thank you Brother Huang for telling me!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian nodded, thinking that the Alchemist Alliance was thoughtful. At least with this arrangement, the probability of a furnace explosion will be reduced a lot.

The two chatted without stopping, and soon entered the attic.

This time, with the order of the Red Flame Venerable in hand, all the procedures went very smoothly. The two deacons did not dare to block it at all, and their attitude was extremely enthusiastic. The trivial matters were naturally omitted.

Not long after, one of the deacons took out the order and said politely:

"Brother Huang came at the right time. Recently, the earth vein fire has entered a dormant period. Most of the fire rooms are temporarily closed. The remaining small part is also in short supply. Fortunately, there is a T-shaped one that has just been closed. It is just right for Brother Nangong to take the test!"

"So that's the case. Thank you for your care!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian hurriedly thanked him.

Because he knew very well that if the fire room was really in short supply, it would not be easy to grab a quota with the number of alchemists in the alliance headquarters. The reason why he could have such efficiency was all due to the face of the Red Flame Venerable.

In general, although the old man Red Flame had a weird personality, his character was not bad, and he did not have the arrogance of a big sect cultivator.

Qin Tian also remembered this favor in his heart, and if there is a chance in the future, he will repay it.

After that, with the courtesy of several people, the atmosphere in the field gradually became lively, and Qin Tian also paid ten low-grade Yuanshi as fees according to the rules of the alliance.

And the Huang Yi Zhenren also asked at the right time:

"May I ask Brother Nangong, what kind of elixir do you plan to use for the assessment this time? I wonder if the required spiritual medicines are ready?"

Hearing this, Qin Tian pondered for a moment, pretending to be nervous and in a dilemma, and then hesitantly said:

"This.........To be honest, my attainments in alchemy are still shallow, and I am still unfamiliar with the refining of the fifth-level spiritual medicine. Let's choose the simplest healing elixir "Red Blood Pill"!"

"Brother Nangong, don't worry too much. I believe that with your skills, the assessment will be easy!"

Seeing this situation, Huang Yi Zhenren nodded to show his understanding, and comforted him a few words. After all, when he first participated in the assessment, he was much more nervous than Qin Tian is now.

The subsequent process is relatively simple.

In order to prevent cheating, Qin Tian first followed the alliance regulations and asked Huang Yi Zhenren and two deacons responsible for witnessing to leave restrictions on the surface of the storage ring.

In this way, as long as the participants in the assessment opened the storage ring in the middle of the assessment, the restriction would be triggered, and the result would naturally be a failure in the assessment. Even if they forcibly broke it, they would definitely not escape the perception. This would naturally ensure that there would be no mistakes.

Then Qin Tian took out three portions of the raw materials of the Red Blood Pill and put them into the jade box in public. After the deacons on the scene checked that they were correct, he held the token and walked towards the corresponding fire room.

According to the token, the fire room he was assigned to was "Ding 26", which was not too far away.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a young man in white walked into the cave again, and he was still in a hurry.

This man was tall and handsome, with long black hair and eyes like stars. He had reached the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and looked like a young master from an aristocratic family. Judging from the aura and tokens lingering around him, he was obviously a fifth-level alchemist!

However, there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes and eyebrows, which must have been due to his long-term pampering.

After arriving at the scene, this person quickly walked to the attic desk, greeted the two deacons skillfully, and asked something in a low voice, and got the answer quickly.

So, just when Qin Tiangang walked to the door of Ding No. 26 Fire Room, and before he had time to open the formation barrier, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him:

"Fellow Taoist, please wait~!"

"I wonder if we can discuss it?"

Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown slightly.

After all, with his intelligence, coupled with the shortage of fire chambers that he learned earlier, he naturally guessed the opponent's purpose in an instant.

But ever since he entered Burning Heaven Holy City, everything has been going wrong. Even renting a temporary cave was a huge expense, and the alchemy master examination was also extremely cumbersome, which had long made him quite annoyed.

At this moment, he was about to get what he wanted, but someone planned to interfere. With his character, how could he tolerate it?

So Qin Tian politely declined:

"Sorry, there is no room for negotiation!"

After speaking, he raised his hand to type the command talisman without hesitation, intending to activate the fire chamber formation first.

Seeing this situation, the young man in white who was about to discuss it almost suffered internal injuries on the spot, and his face turned green and white for a while.

But perhaps due to his personality, seeing Qin Tian preparing to open the fire chamber, a hint of coldness flashed across the man's eyes, and then he suddenly raised his hand to shoot out the spiritual light, directly hitting the formation light screen first, causing violent ripples in it. .

In this way, in order to prevent the order talisman from being damaged, Qin Tian could only withdraw it midway.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, his face darkened a bit. Apparently he never expected that the white-clothed monk would be so bold and dare to attack the formation at the alliance headquarters.

And because the incident happened suddenly, the two deacons on the other side had no time to stop them. Master Huang Yi was even more shocked and couldn't help but yelled:

"Bold Qinming, are you crazy? If the fire chamber formation is destroyed, be careful and you can't bear the consequences...!"

Obviously, except for Qin Tian, ​​almost everyone present was familiar with the origin of this monk in white.

Unexpectedly, when faced with Huang Yizhen's questioning, the young man in white named Qin Ming bowed his hands and apologized in a pretentious manner:

"Oops~! I'm so sorry. Someone, Qin Qin, was careless just now and caused the true energy to leak out, almost damaging the fire chamber formation. I hope you won't blame me...! "

A discerning person will understand at a glance that this is nothing but excuse.

Perhaps due to this person's identity and the fact that the formation was not damaged, even if he was investigated, it would not have much effect, so Huang Yizhen did not say anything more.

As for the two deacons, they were quite familiar with the young man in white. At this moment, they were naturally looking at their noses and hearts, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

After taking in all this, Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed like he was going to find trouble again.

Sure enough, after the young man in white gave a casual explanation, he came to Qin Tian. He first bowed his hands in a pretentious manner, and then said in a polite manner:

"Haha, I didn't mean to offend you just now. I hope my Taoist friends won't be surprised. I am Qin Ming, the Alchemist of Zhaixing Tower. May I ask what your name is?"

Qin Tian frowned when he heard this, and then responded coldly:

"I'm just a casual cultivator, so I won't bother you, Taoist friend!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice message suddenly sounded in his ears, and it was undoubtedly from the master Huang Yi:

"This Qin Ming has a good background. The Star Reaching Tower where he is located is a force supported by Black Dragon Mountain. It is responsible for certain dark industries in the border area. There are also many high-level deacons in the alliance headquarters who have a close relationship with Black Dragon Mountain. Brother Nangong, remember to be careful!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian suddenly understood.

No wonder Qin Ming is so rampant and dares to take random actions even in the Alchemy Alliance. Originally, he had the background of Black Dragon Mountain as a basis, which is indeed a good status in the Burning Sky Holy City.

As the saying goes, enemies never get together.

He had been tricked by the Black Dragon Young Master before, and now another alchemist under Black Dragon Mountain came to make trouble. With his character, Qin, he would not tolerate it blindly.

So he simply turned around, looked squarely at the young man in white for the first time, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:

"If you have any advice, please state it clearly. I have important things to attend to, and I don't have time to delay here any longer!"

Xu Shi saw Qin Tian's cold attitude, and the smile on Qin Ming's face suddenly became slightly stiff, and he even murmured secretly in his heart, thinking that this stupid young man had never heard of the name Zhai Xing Tower, right?

After all, Black Dragon Mountain has a great reputation, but Star Reaching Tower is still somewhat out of the spotlight. It belongs to the type of using a tiger's skin to make a banner, and only a few high-ranking forces know its secrets.

Therefore, while thinking in his mind, Qin Ming quickly changed his words and spoke again seemingly boldly:

"Okay~! In this case, Qin will speak frankly. I will tell you the truth. I have been entrusted by Young Master Black Dragon to help refine a special elixir that needs to be tempered with the fire of the earth veins. However, the fire room has been too busy recently. Too much shortage, I wonder if you can be accommodating and let Qin use this T-shaped fire chamber first?”

At this point, perhaps in order to express his sincerity, Qin Ming did not forget to raise his hand and directly took out twenty low-grade Yuan stones and pushed them to Qin Tian in the air.

"As long as fellow Taoist agrees, these yuan stones will be the reward, which can be enough to offset the cost of participating in the assessment. It won't be too late for you to continue the assessment after the matter is completed!"

After that, Qin Ming looked at Qin Tian with expectation, as if he had a plan in mind. After all, in his opinion, as long as he mentioned the name of the Black Dragon Young Master, he could almost walk sideways in this holy city without provoking the City Lord's Mansion!

In this case, how could a mere little cultivator of the Spiritualization Realm, a young man who had not even passed the fifth-level alchemist certificate, have any room for refusal?

It is estimated that it is too late to try every means to cling to him and make friends with him, right?

With this in mind, Qin Ming could not help but regret secretly, thinking that he was still careless just now. Giving ten low-grade Yuanshi should be enough. Anyway, the final result is the same. I think this kid will definitely obey!

However, he did not know that the moment he mentioned the Black Dragon Young Master, the ending was already doomed.

Facing the Yuanshi floating in front of him, Qin Tian was somewhat disdainful. How could he take a mere twenty low-grade Yuanshi seriously? Did he really think he was sending away ordinary casual cultivators?

Moreover, with the current shortage of fire chambers, if he misses it, he doesn't know when he will have to wait for another assessment. He doesn't have that much time to waste here.

And since it is the elixir of the Black Dragon Young Master, he is even less likely to give in, otherwise he won't be able to think straight.

So Qin Tian didn't hesitate and directly refused on the spot:

"I'm sorry, I also need a fire chamber to refine the elixir urgently. You should find another place! If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hearing these cold words, Qin Ming was stunned on the spot, his face full of disbelief. Obviously, he never expected that a mere cultivator in the early stage of transformation would dare not give face to the Black Dragon Young Master!

Is this fearlessness or audacity?

As a guest of Zhaixing Tower, he relied on the powerful background of Black Dragon Mountain, and his peers would give him some face. He was used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays. When has he ever been rejected in person like this? What's the difference between this and slapping in the face?

The most important thing is that if he fails to complete the pill refining on time, he cannot afford the painful price if the Black Dragon Young Master investigates him afterwards.

So, seeing Qin Tian about to open the magic circle again, Qin Ming's face suddenly turned pale and his tone became a little colder. He threatened in a sinister voice:

"Have you thought clearly about the consequences of offending the Black Dragon Young Master? Don't blame Qin for not warning you!"
