There are five peaks in Taichu Divine Sect.

They are Danyang Peak representing alchemy, Wanfu Peak representing talismans, Cangjian Peak representing sword cultivation, Kangding Peak representing body cultivation, and Taichu Divine Peak representing Taoism cultivation.

The mountain that Su Chen finally chose was Danyang Peak. The reason for choosing this place was naturally because he wanted to become an alchemist.

For ordinary people, it is not easy to become an alchemist. It requires sufficient talent in alchemy. Although alchemy also takes into account the qualifications of the cultivator, they pay more attention to the cultivator's alchemy talent.

The talent for alchemy is reflected not only in the ability to comprehend but also in whether the cultivator possesses a special "magical fire.".

Regardless of his profound understanding, he has a considerable advantage in terms of the magical fire alone. Because as his Purple Cloud Divine Light technique reached an extreme state, his original Purple Cloud Divine Light also changed into Purple Cloud Divine Fire.

It is a true divine fire.

With the existence of the Purple Cloud Divine Fire, he finds that he can refine medicinal material much easier than ordinary people.

What's more, he also has "experience points," which can be used to further shorten the process of learning alchemy.

Others need to keep trying and pay a lot of money to improve their alchemy skills before they can achieve some success. But he was different; he only needed to successfully refine one pill to reach the 'entry-level'.

The rest of the process can be simplified using experience. While quickly improving alchemy skills, you can also save a lot of costs. After officially becoming an alchemist, he can obtain endless benefits both in the game and in reality.

In reality, in addition to achieving self-sufficiency in elixirs, he can also sell the excess elixirs. Achieve a certain degree of financial freedom. The same is true in games.

Besides, the cultivators from other peaks need to go down the mountain from time to time to complete some dangerous training tasks. But the alchemists at Danyang Peak are different. After all, no sect leader would be stupid enough to send the sect's alchemist away.

They are all treasures of the sect. If they want to go out, they need many cultivators in the sect to protect them! What is this? This is a sense of security! He needs this sense of security, whether in the game or reality.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"As long as I gain experience points peacefully, I can become stronger. There is no need for me to go out and take risks."

"Once I become an alchemist, I will undoubtedly be protected by the sect in the game. It will be difficult for anyone to hurt me in the short term."

"In reality, I can also profit from this, exchanging the elixirs for some cultivation resources to further increase my cultivation speed."

"No matter how he looks at it, Alchemist is my best choice."

"It's just refining the elixir. Why is it so difficult?"

Su Chen looked at himself, having failed to refine the elixir in the game again. His blood pressure soared with anger, and he almost couldn't help but smash his phone to the ground to vent his anger.

It is different from other techniques, which can be gotten started with just a general understanding. The difficulty of acquiring alchemy skills is simply hellish. Because it requires him to successfully refine a pill first.

But for him, who had never refined any pills before, this was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven. Five days in reality, fifty days in the game. He tried fifty times, but none of them succeeded. The failure rate was 100%!

This not only wasted a lot of his time but also almost depleted the spirit stones he had accumulated with great difficulty. Because he needs to buy the medicinal materials for refining the pills with his own money. He has to say, that refining elixirs is too expensive.

"Wait, I don't believe that I can't make a batch of qualified 'Qi Gathering Pills'."

"As long as he completes the introductory steps, the subsequent practice will be easy."

Just as he was about to make another attempt at alchemy, he suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction outside the cave.

Soon, two men and one woman, who were drenched by the heavy rain, ran out of the woods and broke into his cave without any courtesy.

As soon as the female student entered the cave, she said in a coquettish voice, "Luckily there is a cave here to hide from the rain; otherwise, we would have been soaked all night."

"Classmate, you shouldn't mind us barging in suddenly, right?"

Looking at the female classmate who had to wear light makeup even during the exam and the two candidates beside him, Su Chen said calmly, "Please go ahead."

Seeing that Su Chen had no objection, the three of them looked at each other immediately. But what is strange is that after entering the cave, the three of them occupied the exit.

Blocked Su Chen's escape route.

Su Chen noticed their little actions, and he put away his phone. It is true that candidates cannot attack each other in the first stage of the exam. But this does not mean that candidates can only cooperate.

After all, every time a student is eliminated early, it means that the rankings of others will move up a level. Instead of working hard to improve yourself, it is easier to pull others down.

If other people's grades get worse, won't their' grades... get better?

In the dim cave, Su Chen and three other students stared at each other across the campfire. It is raining heavily outside. The night and the deep forest always make people feel indescribable.

It seems like something will suddenly jump out from the dark corner at any time and scare you.

"Crackling..."

The burning wood made a jumping sound, adding some sound to the slightly silent cave. Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was a little strange, the precocious female classmate spoke up.

"My dear classmates, I am Zheng Liu from Class 7, he is Xu Jianliang from Class 5, and this is Chai Xi from Class 8."

"Classmate, which class are you from?"

Zheng Liu pointed at the two male classmates beside her and introduced them to Su Chen.
