I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 740: Chapter 328: Decaying Wood Cast into God, Passing the Test_3

This Han Yi, being able to slay Yuan Qinghong who had numerous spiritual treasures on his body during the Early-stage Nascent Soul, might not be much weaker than himself when he reaches the Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Chu Zhi’s face was cold with a sneer, but he had already imprinted Han Yi’s appearance and aura in his heart.

On the other side.

Han Yi was not afraid to face Yuan Qinghong; instead, he felt that there was nothing good to say between them. Since a deadly hatred had been formed, Yuan Qinghong was waiting for an opportunity, but unknown to him, that opportunity was also a chance for Han Yi to exterminate him.

Moreover, Han Yi believed that he would never give Yuan Qinghong more time to prepare. His caution was as always, such as how he used the Shape-changing Divine Ability to disguise his appearance and aura in the Immortal Trading Palace, even his name was ‘Wang Lin’ which he used in the Yu Heng World. No one in the Immortal Mansion had ever known that he often entered the Immortal Trading Palace.

After teleporting away, Han Yi targeted the Xuancang Palace this time.

He came here to exchange the Decaying Wood Cast Divine Meridian.

The Xuancang Palace had a total of ninety-nine floors, which not only had various records and introductions, but also skills, techniques, and supernatural powers.

These skills, supernatural powers, and techniques were often practiced by Immortal Mansion cultivators as tasks in the Immortal Road.

These skills and supernatural powers were not on the first floor, but on the sixth floor. Han Yi went to the sixth floor and found the jade butterfly containing the technique on a certain shelf according to the index.

Inserting the token into the jade slot in front of the grid, a small light screen instantly popped out, asking if he wanted to spend a thousand points to learn the first nine levels of the Decaying Wood Cast Divine Meridian.

Han Yi clicked yes, and then, with a flash of spirit light, the Spirit Light Shield in front of the Jade Butterfly automatically dissipated, and Han Yi took the Jade Butterfly down.

Then, the token inserted into the jade slot automatically bounced up, and he took it in his hand.

Once the Jade Butterfly containing the techniques and supernatural powers in Xuancang Palace were exchanged, it would belong to the cultivator, and there would be Immortal Mansion stewards to replenish the new Jade Butterfly into the grid.

Of course.

Although the Jade Butterfly was not disposable, the cultivator who obtained the Jade Butterfly had to make a Heavenly Dao Oath not to spread the contents before they understood it. Once they spread it, not only would the Immortal Mansion recover it, but the cultivator would also be punished. Serious offenders would have their life core peeled off, their souls eliminated, and be cut off from the cycle of reincarnation.

Han Yi had no such intention, of course.

After leaving the Xuancang Palace, Han Yi teleported back to the 826th Immortal Mansion’s Immortal Palace, entered the main hall, poured his divine consciousness into the Jade Butterfly, and after making the Heavenly Dao Oath as usual, began to learn the outline of the Decaying Wood Cast Divine Meridian.

The outline was about three thousand words long and difficult to understand. Han Yi memorized it forcibly and then checked his panel, only to find it displayed:

[Decaying Wood Cast Divine Meridian (Outline)].

There was no progress or level.

Han Yi took his time and continued reading the Jade Butterfly’s contents, hard memorizing the whole nine levels in his inner heart, these nine levels of techniques were very detailed, amounting to about a hundred thousand words.

When he looked at the panel again, he saw that there was a new change.

[Decaying Wood Cast Divine Meridian (Getting Started 1/100)].

The panel did not display the level, but when Han Yi sensed this technique, he instinctively knew it was at the first level. When the progress of this technique reached higher levels, he should also know which level it was at upon sensing it.

However.

The technique he had obtained was only the first nine levels, not the complete twelve levels. He didn’t know if the panel could directly complete the technique, like other skills, after cultivating it to the ninth level.

Han Yi was looking forward to this.

Next, he put the Jade Butterfly into the Qiankun Ring and didn’t continue to practice this special auxiliary divine soul technique. Instead, he took out the Nine Palaces Furnace to start refining pills.

Even if he could improve a little bit in his Alchemy Skill, he would have a greater chance of passing the fifth-order Alchemist assessment in three days.

Han Yi was not careless. According to Gu Chuan’s words, he would have to face the assessment of a Second Grade Immortal Envoy and three First Grade Immortal Envoys later on. Inside the Immortal Mansion, the Immortal Envoys came from the Righteous Way Immortal Palace. First Grade Immortal Envoys required Half-immortal level strength, while Second Grade Immortal Envoys required even the strength of an Immortal to serve.

Honestly, Han Yi was very nervous about facing the scrutiny of an Immortal for the first time.

Apart from alchemy skills, what worried him the most was the inner space in his body and the still-slumbering Silver-Eyed Wisdom Puppet.

Han Yi didn’t have the opportunity to awaken the Wisdom Puppet at first when he was in the crisis of the Gu Tribe’s Nest. Later, he arrived at the Immortal Mansion and tried to awaken it inside the Immortal Palace, only to find that although the Silver-Eyed Wisdom Puppet was at the edge of his inner space, he couldn’t do anything with it in his Nascent Soul state.

It was as if the Wisdom Puppet had set a timer, and no matter how much he tried to summon it, it couldn’t be activated before the time was up.

Even when Han Yi tried to attack the Wisdom Puppet with the Soul Burying Saber, the saber shattered upon contact with it.

Having tried various methods without any success, he had no choice but to leave it be.

In just three days, Han Yi would face an Immortal. By then, he wondered if the Immortal’s strength would reveal the abnormalities in his inner space. If they were discovered, not only the Wisdom Puppet but also he would be in deep trouble.

This was in the Immortal Mansion within the Immortal Court; once the Wisdom Puppet woke up and its aura was leaked, even the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Venerates would have no chance to escape, let alone overturn the situation.

This was what worried Han Yi the most.

As for becoming a Fifth-stage Alchemist, even if he failed in three days, the Immortal Mansion’s regulations allowed for one Alchemist level examination application per year, so it could wait until the following year.

Time flew by, and three days soon passed.

With a nervous heart, Han Yi went to the Immortal Art Palace and was guided into a side hall by Gu Chuan and another Spirit Transformation cultivator-cum-Fifth-order Alchemist named Cang Shaoyuan.

On the way to this assessment side hall, Cang Shaoyuan introduced to Han Yi the key points he should pay attention to when being assessed as a Fifth-stage Alchemist. Han Yi could see that this Spirit Transformation cultivator wanted to make friends with him.

Of course, he graciously obliged.

A moment later, four cultivators arrived, among which were three Third Grade Immortal Envoys and one Second Grade Immortal Envoy.

However,

Han Yi felt fortunate that the four Immortal Envoys did not probe his inner space, or rather, they might have probed it without his knowledge, yet they did not detect the presence of the Wisdom Puppet.

Following Cang Shaoyuan’s friendly advice earlier, Han Yi began the alchemy process step by step. He naturally chose to refine the high-grade and relatively proficient Golden Sun Yang Pill.

In the Alchemist assessment, each Alchemist has five chances to perform alchemy, and as long as they successfully refine a pill that meets the corresponding requirements in one furnace, they pass the assessment.

Han Yi took a deep breath and began refining. Although the first two furnaces only produced perfect-grade pills, they gradually improved Han Yi’s state, and finally, in the third furnace, he successfully refined a Pill Rune Level Golden Sun Pill.

The Second Grade Immortal Envoy nodded, giving a conclusion to the assessment.

Subsequently, the four Immortal Envoys left one after another, and Han Yi tidied up and returned to the main hall.

Seeing Han Yi coming out, Cang Shaoyuan sniffed and smelled the Pill Rune Level Dan Qi on Han Yi’s body. Moreover, according to his calculation, Han Yi should not have finished refining the five furnaces yet. Thus, by deduction, he immediately knew the result.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Han, on advancing to the Fifth-stage Alchemist.”

Cang Shaoyuan congratulated him with a smile.

Han Yi thanked him with a salute, showing the necessary respect to someone who not only had the title of Fifth-stage Alchemist but also the Spirit Transformation cultivator status.

“I must thank Senior Brother Cang for the guidance.”

“Han Yi has taken this favor to heart.”

Upon hearing these words, Cang Shaoyuan’s smile grew even wider.
