The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 228: No. 1 on the Rookie List

Jing Wuhen said with a serious face: "I agree to join the challenge. I want to ask you a question, how far can you let me go?"

Tang Yan instantly guessed Jing Wuhen's thoughts.

You can join Wending, but if there are no substantial benefits and it will just be a waste of time, then I'm sorry, I'll just put my name on it.

Last time I won the person, this time I have to win his heart!

"Did Du Shu tell you to practice the basics of alchemy 50,000 times?" Tang Yan asked.

"Well, I have been practicing these days. Although I didn't count the exact number of times, it must have been more than 50,000 times." Jing Wuhen said truthfully.

"Show me the basics of alchemy."

"Okay!" There were not many people around at this time, and it wouldn't take long to learn the basics of alchemy. Jing Wuhen took out the alchemy furnace and started to demonstrate it on the roadside.

Adding medicine, refining, extracting... Looking at Jing Wuhen's extremely skillful movements, Tang Yan secretly praised him.

"Stop, that's enough." Seeing more and more people gathering around, Tang Yan stopped them immediately.

After taking Jing Wuhen away from here and walking for a while, he began to explain: "It's not bad overall, but there are still some slight flaws in the purification process. This process is very mentally exhausting, so it's not easy to control.

Don't make pills for the time being, just keep practicing the basics of alchemy, at least 100,000 times.

Until you can follow every step of the basic alchemy process as you like, feel comfortable with it, and it feels as natural as eating, then come back to me!"

"How is this possible?" Jing Wuhen immediately retorted.

Tang Yan stared at Jing Wuhen and said word by word: "I can!"

Jing Wuhen stared at Tang Yan blankly for a long while before he gave in and said dejectedly, "Okay, I surrender."

"Come to me when you have achieved it. I can allow you to at least become a fifth-rank alchemist before you are thirty years old. Of course, there is no upper limit." Tang Yan's promise followed.

Jing Wuhen's body trembled, and he looked at Tang Yan in disbelief. He took a deep breath and asked, "At least level five? Are you sure?"

"There's no need to lie to you. If you feel I don't have the ability within three months, you can leave Wen Ding." Tang Yan promised solemnly.

As if infected by Tang Yan's strong self-confidence, Jing Wuhen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!

My family's expectation for me is to become a high-quality fourth-level alchemist. If I can reach the fifth level, it will be worth a try."

"You won't be disappointed."

"I have one last question." Taking a deep breath, Jing Wuhen asked, "How many times have you practiced the basics of alchemy?"

Tang Yan was stunned when he heard this, his expression was a little dazed, and his thoughts were instantly stretched.

He was an abandoned baby and was picked up by his master. He began to learn alchemy with his master since he was a child.

My master taught me to identify and distinguish herbs, so that I could analyze the medicinal properties of herbs just by smelling them. This learning took me ten years!

As for the basics of alchemy, I learned to release the medicine for three years, control fire for three years, refine it for five years, and purify it for four and a half years...

Whenever I asked my master when I could learn to make pills, my master would always reply, "Not yet."

When Tang Yan finally met the requirements, the first pill he refined was of top quality.

In the elixirs that he refined next, as long as he could control it within his ability, the elixirs he refined were almost all of top quality.

Even though Tang Yan had already started making pills, he still didn't give up practicing the basics of alchemy, and he couldn't remember how many years had passed.

After a long while, Tang Yan came back to his senses from his memories and said with a smile: "I started learning alchemy at the age of three and practiced for a long time. I can't count how many times I have practiced. Originally, according to my current age, I haven't reached the level to start alchemy, but because of various accidents, I started to make alchemy..."

He originally planned to scold Tang Yan, but when he felt the loneliness in Tang Yan, Jing Wuhen believed his words a little.

"Then I'll go back to practice." Jing Wuhen said goodbye to Tang Yan, and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, "By the way, over in the rookie area, the people from the Summit have already put your name in the first position in the rookie area. Many freshmen want to challenge you."

Tang Yan's heart skipped a beat. Rookie Zone? Arena Zone? Rookie List? Blacklist?

Tang Yan couldn't help but grin. It was really a piece of cake. Isn't this arena the best place to hone yourself?

For a moment, Tang Yan's spirits were lifted.

"I understand!" After answering, Tang Yan ran towards the arena without looking back.

"There are no star value rewards for being on the blacklist, so it's useless for you to go!" Seeing Tang Yan's hurried look, Jing Wuhen had to remind him from behind.

"If you are short of star points, just ask Du Shu for them!" Tang Yan responded with a domineering backhand and disappeared from Jing Wuhen's sight.

"What's the point of this guy if there's no star value reward? He has money to burn!" After muttering for a long time, Jing Wuhen found an alchemy room to practice the basics of alchemy.

……

When Tang Yan arrived at the arena, there were already quite a few people inside.

As Tang Yan entered, many people's eyes fell on Tang Yan.

This young man, who is the top freshman and aspires to be the boss, has a lot of halos on his body, which makes many old students eager to challenge him.

After all, he was just a freshman, and his strength was said to be only at the ninth level of the Xuan Rank. Even though he had defeated Lang Qingyun, who was at the second level of the Earth Rank, what did that prove? It could only mean that Lang Qingyun's Earth Rank was too weak!

Many people tend to overestimate themselves and underestimate others.

It would be great if I could bully the top freshman! Thinking of this, many old students looked at Tang Yan with ill intentions!

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Tang Yan looked at a list at the edge of the area.

There are only two thousand names recorded on it, and only the top three hundred on the blacklist are eligible to obtain a good position for training in the Gathering Spirit Hall.

Although Tang Yan was not very interested in the Soul Gathering Hall, the strength of the top 300 on the black list should be very high.

Next to the blacklist, there is a rookie list. There are not many people on the list, and my name is prominently listed first.

“Don’t know how to challenge others?”

Before Tang Yan could find someone to ask, he saw a line of words suddenly appear on a white board on the wall: Freshman Chen Xiao, applies to challenge Tang Yan!

Everyone had already paid attention to Tang Yan, but there was an unwritten rule on the blacklist, which was that people with higher rankings could not challenge those with lower rankings, otherwise the seniors on the list would have come and severely abused Tang Yan.

This piece of news successfully attracted Tang Yan, and his eyes fell on the rookie area.

At this time, a young man stood on the ring, radiating an aura and looking at him proudly.

Tang Yan felt the fluctuations of this person's aura and was slightly surprised that this young man's strength had actually reached the Earth Level.

Many freshmen in the audience also kept screaming.

This made the young man, who was already full of confidence, even more proud.

Even though Tang Yan achieved good results in the freshman competition and even defeated a second-grade Earth Rank Formation Master, the concept that a difference in level is like a mountain is still deeply rooted in people's minds.

Everyone still doesn't recognize Tang Yan's strength!

"Why don't you come up, Tang Yan? Don't you dare?" Seeing Tang Yan standing there without moving, Chen Xiao pointed at Tang Yan and shouted.
