Chapter 40: Illusionary Assessment

Chapter 40: Illusionary Assessment
"Phantom Pearl, why did you give me this?" Xu Chen wondered.

Niu Dali took the opportunity to activate the phantom.

A projection appeared in front of Xu Chen on the edge of the beach, followed by the sound of waves.

"This is my trophy from the Trial Realm. It contains scenes of the ocean waves and the surging undercurrents deep under the sea."

"It feels especially suitable for you." Niu Dali smiled innocently, closed the phantom bead and handed it to Xu Chen.

"Brother Niu, I accept this gift."

Xu Chen is not the type to take advantage of others, so after accepting the gift he started thinking about how to return the favor.

"As long as Junior Brother Xu likes it."

"Come on, let's practice quickly, and then have a sparring match."

As Niu Dali spoke, he moved the huge rock again and performed various actions.

"Good~"

In the afternoon, the trial ground in the dense forest.

Xu Chen and Niu Dali are sparring here.

"Brother Niu, I haven't seen you for a few months. Your moves have become much more agile."

Xu Chen dodged Niu Dali's full-strength punch by leaning sideways and slapped his arm at the joint.

"But I still can't touch you."

After the man and the cow exchanged hundreds of moves, Niu Dali stopped.

"Junior Brother Xu, I was able to come out of the Trial Secret Realm alive this time, all thanks to you sparring with me."

"If I didn't have the speed at that time, I might not even have the chance to crush the boundary symbol." Niu Dali couldn't help but feel a little scared when he said this.

"It seems that we will have to practice more in the future."

After the two of them rested for a while, Xu Chen returned home.

In the weapons forging room, looking at the steel ingots piled up in the corner, Xu Chen suddenly knew what gift to give Niu Dali.

"Just happened to be buying some stuff from the market."

Xu Chen first went to the Huoling Mountain area and purchased 10 kilograms of heavy steel, which was as hard as ordinary steel but four times heavier.

Then he went to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain to buy some pharmaceutical formulas and spiritual medicines.

At night, in the holy white space.

Xu Chen first made weapons and then made medicine.

"The quality of the Hundred Forging Sword has increased by two points, and the Seven Wounds Ointment can now produce three qualified ones."

“That’s good progress.”

With his soul numb, Xu Chen fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

Early in the morning, Xu Chen went into the weapons forging room as soon as he got up.

He melted 10 kilograms of steel and made two oversized dumbbells.

At this time, the ground began to vibrate. Xu Chen put the dumbbells into the storage bag and walked out the door.

When Niu Dali came over carrying the boulder, Xu Chen placed two dumbbells in front of Niu Dali.

"Brother Niu, this is my gift to you."

"It should suit you well."

As soon as Niu Dali saw the two big dumbbells on the ground, he understood their purpose.

'boom! '

The 10-jin boulder was thrown aside, and Niu Dali grabbed two dumbbells and slowly lifted them up.

"nice one!"

Niu Dali started doing curls naturally, and then began to do other movements.

"It seems that I don't need to teach Senior Brother Niu how to use it." Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Xu, I like this gift!"

The following day, Niu Dali was busy experimenting with new uses for the dumbbells and had no time to even practice with Xu Chen.

After a day of practice, Xu Chen returned home, had dinner, and then entered the Holy White Space again.

"Please make 10 portions of Seven Wounds Ointment with a quality of 80 or above." An emotionless mechanical voice sounded.

"The Seven Wounds Ointment is expected to break through in a month. Next we will try making poison." Xu Chen skillfully selected the herbs and began to process them.

There were 20 portions of Seven Wounds Ointment. This time Xu Chen made 5 portions with quality above 80.

"boom!!"

Three huge thunders struck down, and Xu Chen's consciousness incarnation condensed.

"Continue~"

A month later, Xu Chen excitedly finished making the last batch of Seven Injury Ointment.

In an instant, the soul was pulled into the abyss again, the heaven and earth turned upside down, and Xu Chen became that child again.

"My dear grandson, the Seven Wounds Ointment is not made the way you do it."

"Grandpa will show you once."

The old man with a youthful face and white hair, with a unique Taoist aura, began to make the Seven Injury Ointment.

The finished product was originally a black Seven Injury Ointment, but it turned bright red after the old man was done.

"The biggest difficulty in making the Seven Injury Ointment lies in the combination of medicinal materials and medicinal strength."

"When making the Seven Injury Ointment, you must pay attention to the ratio and medicinal properties of the three main ingredients. If you can master them, you can make a perfect Seven Injury Ointment."

The old man looked at Xu Chen with love, or to be more exact, at the child he possessed.

"I understand, Grandpa. I'll do it now."

The child made 4 consecutive portions and finally made a perfect Seven Injury Ointment.

In an instant, Xu Chen's soul returned, and then a large amount of insights and pharmacology of making the Seven Injury Ointment flooded into his mind.

In the Holy White Space, Xu Chen has been sitting cross-legged for an hour.

"I didn't expect that there are so many techniques for making medicine."

First he absorbed the hemostatic powder, and then he absorbed the seven-injury ointment. It seemed to Xu Chen that he saw the vast ocean of pharmaceutical techniques, and he only stole a little bit of it.

After digesting these insights and pharmacology, Xu Chen once again entered the wooden door of pharmacy and used the medicinal materials to make 20 doses of Seven Injury Ointments, with the highest quality reaching 99.

"The next recipe is poisonous rotten blood juice, which can be applied specifically to weapons."

"As for weapons, their quality has now reached 80, and I believe it will soon reach 90 and the strategy will be completed."

"Then I will forge the Thousand Forged Swords."

"After everything is ready, Grandpa will come to see you again."

Xu Chen looked at the wooden door of the Holy Ape Six Styles.

For Xu Chen now, the Six Clone of the Holy Ape is the biggest villain.

If every death leaves behind only bones, then the clone will be standing on top of his pile of corpses.

Early in the morning, Xu Chen was practicing on the grass outside the door, while Niu Dali was playing with dumbbells not far away.

"Junior Brother Xu, the sect has issued a new rule, do you know?"

"What are the rules?" After finishing a set of exercises, Xu Chen looked at Niu Dali.

"If a Qi and Blood Realm wants to advance to the Treasure Body Realm, he must first go to the Trial Realm and kill three Qi and Blood Realm aliens."

"If you advance to the Treasure Body Realm without completing this task, you will be expelled from the sect." Niu Dali was holding two giant dumbbells and punching.

"In addition, those who are 25 years old and have not yet advanced to the Treasure Body Realm will also be expelled from the sect."

"Why is it so strict all of a sudden?" Xu Chen was stunned.

"According to rumors, our Grand Elder is unwilling to be at the bottom of the five major sects, and now the Junior Grandmaster has joined us."

"So we want to improve the quality of our sect's disciples and win a good reputation in the war between the five major sects."

"Okay~" Xu Chen continued to practice, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Just as the man and the ox were practicing, their disciple tokens rang at the same time.

"The sect's illusion assessment?" Xu Chen's face was full of confusion.

In Huanxin Valley, Xu Chen and Niu Dali looked up at the entrance of the valley while holding their disciple tokens.

"This seems to be a place that only disciples above the Treasure Body Realm can come to. Is this where the illusion test is held?"

At this time, thousands of Qi and Blood Realm disciples had gathered outside the valley gate, and more and more disciples were coming here.

Soon, more than 3 Qi and Blood Realm disciples gathered in the entire valley.
