Cultivation: Become God by playing a game

Boom!

In the game, Su Chen looked at the medicinal residue that turned into ashes in the blue-veined alchemy furnace.

He shook his head and sighed, "Although there is a digital panel to help, it is indeed not that easy to refine the elixir for the foundation-establishment period."

"Not only is the difficulty of refining medicinal materials far greater than that of the Qi Gathering Pills in the Qi Gathering stage, but other aspects such as the temperature of the fire have also almost achieved a qualitative improvement."

"If I want to successfully refine this Pei Yuan Pill, it may take some time."

"But the ingredients for the Pei Yuan Dan that Master gave me can only support me for ten more attempts, so I can't be too wasteful."

"After all, the herbs needed for this Pei Yuan Pill are not as expensive as the Foundation Building Pill, but they are not cheap either. At least one time I need to spend around 1,500 contribution points, which is equivalent to me completing 15 tasks assigned to me by the sect."

"Alas, refining a Peiyuan Pill is so difficult. I don't know when I will be able to refine a foundation establishment pill."

"Without enough foundation-building pills as support, if I want to complete the Heavenly Dao foundation-building in the future, the difficulty is not just talk."

"Forget it; I don't want to think about it anymore. I should just concentrate on refining this Pei Yuan Dan first."

"After all, my Green Lotus Pupils are only about 6,000 experience points away from reaching the extreme stage."

"As long as I can successfully refine a batch of Pei Yuan Dan, I will soon have enough experience for green lotus pupils."

"And when green lotus pupils reach the extreme state, I will find an opportunity to go to No. 2 High School to see if I can activate the dungeon there."

"If everything goes well, then by the time I pass the game dungeon of No. 2 High School, the original dungeon of the ancient cultivator's tomb will be almost refreshed, and I will be able to gain a lot of experience points by then."

"At this rate, I should be able to cultivate the three special magical powers to the extreme state before the end of the first semester."

"By then, I only need to learn the remaining two special magical powers, and then I can start preparing to build my foundation."

Thinking about what he was going to do next, Su Chen felt that he still lacked experience points.

The importance of Peiyuan Dan, a special elixir that can gain experience points after eating, is once again demonstrated.

Su Chen had thought about exchanging Peiyuan Dan directly from the sect, but after seeing the price of one Peiyuan Dan at one thousand contribution points, Su Chen gave up the idea.

Without it, it's not cost-effective.

After all, one portion of medicinal materials can be used to refine up to fifteen pills.

With this contribution point, he might as well try to refine it himself.

Anyway, as long as he succeeds once out of ten times, he can make his money back.

Therefore, refining it by himself is the most economical solution.

As Su Chen reopened the alchemy furnace, he muttered to himself, "It's been almost two months since the start of school. In previous years, the first phase of the three-school joint examination would have begun at this time. I hope I can improve my Green Lotus pupils to the extreme state before the joint examination."

"I heard that this time the joint exam is held at No. 2 High School. I can take this opportunity to see if I can activate the new dungeon."

Jiangnan City, November 1st, Jiangnan No. 2 High School, three schools joint entrance examination.

The so-called three-school joint examination is a special examination held twice a year by Jiangnan City's colleges and universities.

Different from the mock exams held within each school, the joint exam among the three schools is not only more standardized but also more competitive.

This is not only because after getting good grades in the joint examination, you can obtain a lot of resources within the school.

The most crucial point is that during the joint entrance examination of the three schools, some special people will appear.

And these people are the observers of the major academies.

The so-called observers are a group of special personnel who select talents in advance for major academies in various parts of Kyushu.

The reason why they appear in the joint entrance examination is very simple.

That is to see if they can discover some potential talents in advance, to allow them to skip the college entrance examination and directly secure a place in a certain Taoist academy in advance.

That is what is called a recommended student.

In previous years, some people who performed amazingly in the joint entrance examination of the three schools could even be directly noticed by the four major academies and thus admitted to the four major academies in the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, for many people, the joint entrance examination of three schools is an alternative college entrance examination.

Therefore, most people attach great importance to this joint examination.

Among these people, Su Chen was naturally included.

After all, who would be willing to take part in the highly competitive college entrance examination when you can be directly admitted?

Jiangnan City No. 2 High School, on the playground.

As several buses representing Jiangnan No. 1 High School drove into the campus, students from No. 3 High School and No. 2 High School, who had gathered on the playground early, looked at the buses curiously.

Soon, the students of No. 1 High School got off the bus and came to the playground together, waiting for the start of the joint examination of the three schools.

In the crowd, Lu Xiaoye stood next to Su Chen with a surprised expression.

"Xiao Chen, how come you have changed so much in just half a month?"

Lu Xiaoye sensed Su Chen's aura and discovered that he had unknowingly reached the ninth level of the Qi gathering stage.

Apart from anything else, Su Chen's cultivation level is currently at this level.

On paper, the school's strength is already among the best in Jiangnan City No. 1 High School and even in the entire Jiangnan City.

You should know that there are only about ten candidates with this level of cultivation in Jiangnan City.

Not to mention that she also knew that Su Chen had outstanding swordsmanship.

This was personally acknowledged by the swordsmanship genius Bian Shouyi.

His cultivation is not low, and his swordsmanship is powerful.

How come Xiao Chen has changed so much in just a while? She is almost surpassing her, the darling of heaven.

Facing Lu Xiaoye's question, Su Chen smiled and replied, "Don't look at me like that. I just had some insights during this period, and Old Chen paid for a lot of cultivation resources for me, so I was able to improve my cultivation quickly."

"Compared to someone like you who relies purely on talent, I'm still far behind."

"And you should know, Xiao Ye, that the speed of cultivation during the Qi gathering period is not important. What is important is whether you have the potential to complete a high-level foundation building."

"This is a very important indicator in the assessment of major academies."

"My spiritual roots have many attributes, and it is not easy to complete a high-level foundation building. So in this regard, I am still far inferior to you."

Although Su Chen spoke very modestly, Lu Xiaoye, who grew up with Su Chen, always felt that her childhood friend was not telling the truth.

Not as good as her?

She thinks he is going to surpass her!

Lu Xiaoye looked at Su Chen's clear and bright eyes suspiciously and subconsciously moved closer as if wanting to observe him closely.

When Su Chen was looked at like this, he subconsciously took a step back.

No, how come this little girl's intuition is still so sharp? Could she have seen something?

Just when Lu Xiaoye wanted to say something, the principal of the No. 2 High School, who was presiding over the joint examination of the three schools, had already walked onto the podium, ready to talk to everyone about the content of the joint examination.

Su Chen immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Okay, okay, the exam is about to start. If you have any questions, I'll tell you after the joint exam. Is that okay?"

"All right."

Since Su Chen had said so much, Lu Xiaoye had no choice but to stop talking and listen to the principal of No. 2 High School's long speech.

However, when she saw Su Chen standing next to her out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In the past, when Xiao Chen's talent was average, she didn't worry about anyone coming out to seduce him.

But now it seems... She also has a sense of crisis!
