“Good sister, don’t forget each other when you’re rich!” Dong Xi immediately cupped his fists.
Ke Xin agreed with a smile. The two of them entered the pharmacy and worked there for two and a half months.
During this period of time, Dong Xi had self-studied a few books in the jade space. Although she was still a little trash with no experience in alchemy, she had no problem practicising on her own.
Dong Xi did not send the herbs she received in the past two months to her Eldest Senior Brother. She kept them all for herself. She would only start refining pills when her cultivation level increased. She handed in the low-grade pills she had bought previously.
That afternoon, Dong Xi and her companion went to the back of the mountain and caught a wild chicken. They used fire spiritual Qi to start a fire and roast it. They sprinkled some spirit herbs on it to satisfy their appetite.
Ke Xin took the chicken leg and took a bite, not caring about the scorching temperature.
Ke Xin’s eyes brightened when she put it in her mouth. She mumbled, “Sister, I didn’t expect you to have such a skill!”
Dong Xi smiled. She knew more than this. It was just that there were too few ingredients in the Immortal cultivation world. Otherwise, this little barbecue would definitely be more delicious.
“Next time you want to eat it, just come to me directly.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Dong Xi sighed. “Sister, if you’re not chosen by Master Lingxu, what’s your next plan?”
Ke Xin’s eyes widened as she held the chicken leg. “Sister, aren’t you a little too intoxicated?”
Dong Xi was confused, but Ke Xin continued, “You shouldn’t be asking me what I plan to do if I’m not selected. You should be asking what I do if I’m selected.”
However, to them, it was normal not to be selected. It would be a miracle if they were selected!
Dong Xi was taken aback by Ke Xin’s words, but she soon realized that she had indeed been overthinking.
She smiled and said, “That’s right, I’ll do my best and leave it to fate! No matter where we are, all we have to do is work hard in cultivation!”
The next day was the day when Master Lingxu chose his disciple. It was said that Master Wukong of Destiny Valley had made a fortune for Master Lingxu, saying that he could only find the last disciple on this day. If he missed this day, the rest would be doomed.
Dong Xi woke up early in the morning and went to the pond to wash her hair. This was already the greatest respect she could show for this assessment.
After tidying up her hair, she met up with Ke Xin. The two of them smiled at each other and signed up.
The exam was divided into two rounds. The first was theory and the second was pill refining.
Dong Xi had never refined a pill before, so her theoretical results had become especially important.
The square was already filled with tables and futons, and there were at least a few hundred disciples participating in the selection.
After all, it was Master Lingxu who took in the last disciple, who would not be tempted?
However, among all the participating disciples, only Dong Xi and Ke Xin were new disciples. No, there was also the new disciple from the Sword Sect with an attribute of 99. She did not have the wood spiritual root that was necessary for alchemy, but she had come to join in the fun.
In everyone’s eyes, the three newcomers were like newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers. They looked at them as if they were primary school students taking the college entrance examination.
Ke Xin felt a little guilty and stood beside Dong Xi, whispering, “Sister, can we do it? This scene is too big, I’m not confident.”
Dong Xi, on the other hand, was full of confidence. “What’s there to be afraid of, we’re already here…”
Hearing this, Ke Xin decided that since they were already here, they should just do their best. Even if they failed in the end, they could not possibly do worse than they were now, right?
As the drum sounded, a majestic voice resounded throughout the examination hall, “All participating disciples, please take your seats according to your number.”
The voice sounded familiar to Dong Xi. She raised her head and realized that the head examiner was her Eldest Senior Brother, Liang Yan!
“You’re number 357, and I’m number 364. It’s not too far away.” Ke Xin dragged Dong Xi to her seat.
Every 50 numbers were a section, and the square was divided into nine sections.
Dong Xi found her seat and sat down. Seeing the Senior Brothers and Sisters around her take their seats, the Eldest Senior Brother on the stage said, “Don’t whisper to each other, don’t look around.”
After explaining a lot of rules, the Senior Brothers and Sisters began to distribute the test papers.
The Immortal cultivation world’s examination paper was a kind of low-level magic tool. The illusionary images of medicinal herbs appeared on the examination paper one by one, and no one could see each other.
What she had to do was to recognize and classify these medicinal herbs, and also write down the medicinal theory and taboos of each medicinal herb.
Looking at the numerous medicinal herbs on the examination paper, the stage was huge. Dong Xi took a deep breath, then lowered her head and answered the paper seriously.
The Bitter Lotus could not melt, so she should add a little Snake Tail Vegetable as a catalyst. The sparks and the serene cold grass repelled each other and could not be classified as the same kind of lotus.
Dong Xi replied to her heart’s content, but her handwriting was a little ugly.
By the time she finished the questions, the incense on the stage had already burned by more than half. When she lowered her head to look at the test paper, the illusionary images of the medicinal herbs had already disappeared, and another question had appeared.
