Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 59: You Understand Assessments!

In the backyard of the Moon-listening Wind Pavilion in the Pot-in-a-Pot Realm.

The places and materials related to cultivating immortal techniques were naturally brought here in advance by Su Ping from the cultivation world.

In order to maintain a sense of style and mystery, Su Ping continued to have the Crane Boy come out and interact with them.

He also arranged for assessments related to the techniques.

Su Ping was very familiar with the process of assessing talents.

After all, when he didn't have the help of the fishing game, he had worked outside the sect to gather cultivation resources for his senior brothers.

Zhou Xuan stood in place and took a deep breath for a while before gritting his teeth and approaching the alchemy furnace.

Looking at the bronze alchemy furnace that was as tall as his waist, Zhou Xuan had already thought about this scene when he was studying.

But when it came time for the assessment, he couldn't help but feel his heart race and his palms sweat.

Fortunately, he was already a Qi Refining cultivator, so after the nervousness subsided a bit, the knowledge from his memory emerged.

"Three stalks of Black Iron Grass, six Red Jade Fruits..."

"No, according to the book, the ratio of Red Jade Fruits to Spirit Spring Water should be one to five, and it needs to be mixed with Mandala Solution."

"And white sugar, one jin, two liang, and three qian should be added according to the amount!"

Zhou Xuan skillfully operated, using a convenient electronic scale for weighing.

He also used engraved test tubes and glass bottles for water collection.

Su Ping didn't make things difficult for Zhou Xuan in this aspect. He was very open-minded and supported the combination of technology and cultivation.

If it can be used, is good to use, and can be used, then it should be strongly supported!

"No, I feel like there are some parts I haven't figured out!"

After the actual operation, Zhou Xuan realized that the things in the book were a bit deep. Many problems arose during the preparation that didn't have a standard answer to refer to.

After all, none of the cultivation materials were exactly the same as what was written in the book.

There were too many things to consider.

"Guard the Dao, understand the far-reaching virtue, the true god should be harmonious, the aspiration proclaims the Jade Canon, the middle is righteous, and the performance is profound..."

"Phew... the great magnificence of the Sun Dao, the profound sect of the Xuan Zong."

Zhou Xuan silently recited the mantras of various sects he learned during his cultivation, gradually calming his mind completely.

As he infused his mana into the Fire-Driving Flag and shouted lightly, "Fire, come!"

Boom!

The Fire-Driving Flag spewed out flames into the bottom of the alchemy furnace, igniting the spirit wood charcoal there.

In an instant, a faint pine fragrance filled the air, invigorating Zhou Xuan's spirit.

One hour later.

After completing a round of body tempering cultivation, Su Ping, who was drinking Tiger Bone Wine and eating roasted beef in his master's room, heard a loud noise!

He couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the direction of the backyard.

"Did it explode?"

Su Ping saw through the perspective of the Crane Boy and immediately noticed that Zhou Xuan, who had turned into a black charcoal, was coughing, but he was not seriously injured.

And the alchemy furnace had exploded, with a large hole in its waist.

"Wait, is this... a success to some extent?"

Su Ping carefully looked and discovered that inside the cracked alchemy furnace, there were actually seven or eight deformed waste pills.

"The first time alchemy, the explosion should be due to the temperature, and this alchemy furnace is just a cheap one used by casual cultivators. It will be much better after improvement."

"But to have results on the first attempt, even if it's just waste pills from the simplest Five Grain Pill that can't even be considered a first-grade pill..."

"That is still extremely rare!"

"This child... has the potential to become an alchemist!"

Su Ping felt joy in his heart and secretly regretted that with such talent, Zhou Xuan had already made him recover the investment he had made before.

However, he didn't praise him directly, but instead had the Crane Boy instruct Zhou Xuan to continue with the assessment.

And gave the other party a barely passing comment in alchemy to prevent them from becoming arrogant.

Zhou Xuan didn't know that most beginner disciples often end up with nothing in their first attempt at alchemy.

If you want to explode the furnace, you must first have the ability to explode the furnace.

Zhou Xuan thought that barely passing meant that Baihe Tongzi saw his efforts, but the pitiful result.

He came to the side of the creek, washed his body with water, and began the next assessment.

With one talisman, Zhou Xuan spent half an hour, proving that he had some talent in this area, even if he had a little talent.

Even in copying, Zhou Xuan couldn't draw a pen with a sense of charm.

But in making talisman paper, Zhou Xuan was still able to do it, at least faster than Su Ping when he was working.

It also showed that Zhou Xuan might have some talent in making tools, but not much, not enough to support him on this path.

The last part is farming.

Well, as long as it's not related to planting special spiritual bodies, there is not much difference in farming.

Just follow the book, water and fertilize on time, and get rid of pests.

In this pot of Dongtian farming, with sufficient spiritual energy and no pests, it is easier to water and fertilize according to the needs of the crops.

On those two plots of less than ten square meters of spiritual fields, Zhou Xuan loosened the soil, dug holes, and planted spiritual grass seeds.

After watering and fertilizing, he completed the preparation for this assessment.

"In the art of cultivating immortality, you are unqualified in talismans and tool making."

Baihe Tongzi relayed Su Ping's message and said seriously to Zhou Xuan with a straight face.

"Fortunately, you barely passed in alchemy, and farming is more about being careful and responsible."

"After you take care of these two fields until the harvest, I will give you the final evaluation based on the output of the spiritual fields."

"This will require you to stay here for seven to fifteen days."

"Do you agree?"

Zhou Xuan quickly nodded in agreement. Who wouldn't agree to stay in such a place with abundant spiritual energy?

"My master instructed me that if there is a long assessment, I can send you back once to avoid worrying your family for a long time."

After Baihe Tongzi finished speaking, Zhou Xuan continued to nod in agreement.

Indeed, one to two weeks would be enjoyable for him, and there was no need to worry his mentor and family.

He had already thought of a reason for his leave. He would say that he encountered a mental obstacle in his cultivation and planned to travel the world.

Because it was a journey of the heart, he would not bring any communication tools, so it was reasonable that he couldn't be contacted.

A few hours later.

Zhou Xuan returned to the pot of Dongtian.

He immediately saw that the alchemy furnace had been replaced with a new one.

At the same time, Baihe Tongzi had placed a thatched cottage next to the field, similar to a tent.

After thanking Baihe Tongzi for the thatched cottage, Zhou Xuan entered the house.

He saw the simple straw bed, daily necessities, food, and water inside the house. Although it seemed difficult, Zhou Xuan had a satisfied smile.

As long as he could continue to stay in this fairyland and mix with spiritual energy.

Even if it was sleeping under a bridge and drinking the northwest wind, it would be great.

Baihe Tongzi was about to leave and reminded Zhou Xuan, "You are not an official disciple yet, so do not leave the backyard, as it may anger the guardian divine beast."

"When you have free time, you can read or continue to try alchemy."

"I will come every day to replenish damaged items and materials."

"Little Daoist, you have the talent for alchemy, don't waste this gift!"

"Thank you, Baihe Master, for the reminder!"

"Zhou Xuan, I will never forget your kindness today!"

Zhou Xuan didn't dare to call Baihe Tongzi, he quickly expressed his gratitude, and then watched Baihe Tongzi fly away.

After retracting his envious gaze, Zhou Xuan, the little Daoist, first looked at the spiritual field with concern, and then returned to the alchemy furnace to start his second attempt at alchemy in his life!
