In the meeting hall of the Alchemy Palace, there were more than twenty sixth-grade alchemists, but there were several sixth-grade alchemists from other sects in Wucaixing who did not show up. They were all the sixth-grade alchemists of Wucolor Palace.
After Song Pingzi came in, he first greeted three big guys of the same level and then sat at the top of the left-hand seat. But Zhen Rutai, who has been having a hard time lately, is the last one in the row.
Zuo Yuchen did not take the initiative to explain anything. He could only sit down, close his eyes and rest, waiting for them to speak.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, all the sixth-grade alchemists arrived. Several of them still had the fragrance of alchemy on their bodies. They were obviously called over while they were refining alchemy, and their expressions were very bad.
However, when I came in and saw three big guys on top, no matter how unhappy I was, I could only endure it and sit down separately.
"Everyone, we have been called together temporarily because the Dark Palace has received accurate news that an ancient ruins is about to be opened. It is likely to contain ancient elixirs and rare medicinal materials." Zuo Yuchen paused and continued, "This ancient ruins It’s no small matter, not only are we from the Five Colors Palace interested, but other forces are also secretly coveting it. Therefore, we plan to organize an elite team to explore, hoping to gain something."
Hearing this, Song Pingzi already understood the general idea. This kind of exploration of ancient ruins is not uncommon in the world of cultivation, and risks and opportunities often coexist.
But if it can attract the attention of many forces, the scale of this ancient ruins cannot be small. I actually have some expectations for this in my heart, but I have already made a travel plan, so I have to give up this curiosity for the time being.
At this time, Yun Fei also continued what Zuo Yuchen said, "When we first discovered the ruins, we didn't think they were of much value, but just a few days ago, a breath suddenly came out of the ruins. This breath contains the thickness of the emperor's energy and the strong fragrance of elixir, so we judge that it may come from a secret realm created by a certain emperor during his lifetime."
Yun Fei's words also explained why he had to make a special trip to the Dan Palace to announce his exploration of the secret realm.
Then Yun Fei introduced that he would lead the team this time, and had already communicated with the Formation Hall, the Equipment Hall, and the Defense Force. There would be Formation Masters, Weapon Refining Masters, and Defense Force Commanders going together. The Alchemy Palace also needed to send out candidates. After that, Yunfei also looked at Song Pingzi.
In an instant, Song Pingzi understood that as the assessment director of the Alchemy Palace and the highest-ranking alchemy master under the palace master Zuo Yuchen, he might also be an important candidate for this operation.
At least the exploration of the ruins was destined to affect his travel time, which made him hesitate.
Zuo Yuchen looked over and said with a smile: "General Manager Song is the second alchemy master in our alchemy palace. I wonder if I can go with Commander Yunfei this time?"
Zuo Yuchen's question made Song Pingzi a little confused. When he looked at him, the other party nodded imperceptibly, making Song Pingzi instantly understand that this might be a rarer opportunity than searching for the Seven-leaf Vine alone. But he still has to return to Yicaixing, and there are still many things to deal with.
"I wonder when the commander-in-chief plans to set off?" Song Pingzi asked tentatively.
"The time is just one month from now. Once the candidate is confirmed, I will notify you before departure." Yunfei's tone was a little surprised. If Song Pingzi is willing to go, that is of course the best. When the three of them were discussing just now, they were discussing suitable candidates. The first one that came to mind was him, but Song Pingzi had already reported his request to both the Dan Palace and the An Palace. There was some time conflict in looking for the Seven-leaf Vine.
"One month!" Song Pingzi was a little relieved. This time was enough for him to go to the whirlwind rock and transfer the medicinal materials grown there to the universe space of the wood spirit. And since the relics all contain imperial aura, they should at least be at the quasi-emperor level. As far as I am concerned, apart from the Danxin Finger, what Qinse left behind is actually not many relics. I don’t even know why, except for some of the elixirs. Most of her memories were erased by herself, and the inheritance was incomplete. If I can gain something from this ruins, maybe I can be like Qin Se, relying on the alchemy to grow rapidly, which will also be helpful to the prince's spiritual source world.
Depending on the realm alone, even if you find the spiritual source world, you may not be able to rescue Nuohu. However, if you have achieved success in the alchemy path, it will be much more convenient and faster to use your strength to fight.
Thinking of this, Song Pingzi was about to speak when a voice sounded from the main hall, "I also want to go this time, please ask the master of the hall to grant your permission."
The person who made the sound was actually Zhen Rutai, the last person in his row. As soon as he said this, the three people in the main seat frowned slightly. Although there are all sixth-grade alchemists in the hall, Zuo Yuchen has already called their names, and Song Pingzi has also begun to think about it. It is a bit difficult to understand that someone wants to go at this time. And judging from the seats, he is still the last person.
"Alchemist Zhen has this wish, and should support it. However, there have been frequent wars recently, and various affairs in the Alchemy Palace are relatively tight, and you are in charge of specific affairs. I'm afraid it will be difficult to withdraw." Zuo Yuchen affirmed at first, but was very worried. The obvious answer has been given.
This time, without waiting for Zhen Rutai to react, Song Pingzi stood up, saluted the three principals, and then turned to the alchemists in the hall and said: "Originally, any of the sixth-grade alchemists in the alchemy hall can go. But. Everyone holds important positions. My younger brother, I am in charge of the alchemy master assessment once every hundred years, which has just ended. I have relatively free time in the next hundred years, so I should be the most suitable candidate to go. On weekdays, I rely on you to support the alchemy master. As for the affairs of the palace, I will ask my little brother to contribute to the Dan Palace this time.”
Song Pingzi's words were reasonable and righteous, but everyone actually wanted to go. After all, if there was really an inheritance of alchemy, it would definitely be good for their future, but Song Pingzi's words were also correct.
So after Song Pingzi finished speaking, no one spoke again. Zhen Rutai seemed to be blinded and wanted to fight for it again, but as soon as he handed over his hand, Zuo Yuchen stopped him, "Alchemist Zhen is very brave, this time If you can improve before the mission, you can take this opportunity to reach a higher level."
Zhen Rutai glanced at Song Pingzi unwillingly. There was only one month left, how could he be promoted to a higher level? Being able to pass the Sixth Grade Alchemist Examination is just a sideways sword, and it is also the limit of his current ability. Although there are risks in exploring the secret realm, it is also an opportunity, but the palace master does not give himself this opportunity at all.
It has been shown that there are not many alchemists with the same mentality as Zhen Rutai. After all, exploring the secret realm is risky, and alchemists happen to be the weakest in self-protection and attack capabilities. If he forced his way forward, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the palace master and Song Pingzi. Whether he would get the opportunity or not would not be said, but the offending thing was already very real.
After the discussion came to a conclusion, these alchemists naturally did not need to participate in the rest of the matter.
After everyone left, Yun Zicai, who had been silent for a long time, said to Song Pingzi: "After our discussion before, we also hoped that Alchemist Song could go. For this reason, Lord Star Lord also named Miss Minhu to accompany him. After all, if it is really the inheritance of Alchemy, then There is a great chance that there will be a medicine garden, and some rare and precious medicinal materials will be picked and cultivated more conveniently by the lady of Minhu."
Song Pingzi nodded to express his understanding, and felt relieved for a while. He didn't expect that Hong'er might be able to take the opportunity to leave with him.
Zuo Yuchen naturally knew this already, so he changed his original plan and hoped that Song Pingzi would go, but he still warned: "In addition to us five-color type people, there will also be monks from other forces participating in this operation, dear brother We should also take this opportunity to see if there is anything we can learn from our colleagues. But we must be more careful in everything. If it is really a secret realm of alchemy, the possibility of fighting is small, but the possibility of alchemy tests will increase."
Zuo Yuchen's words seemed normal to the other two, but to Song Pingzi, they could understand another meaning. Even if he could not escape after exploring the secret realm, if he had contacts with alchemists from other forces, , when you can communicate with each other as an excuse, you can also find opportunities to leave.
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me. Song will be careful." Song Pingzi cupped his hands and thanked him.
After Zuo Yuchen explained some specific matters, he asked Song Pingzi to go back and prepare. After Song Pingzi left the meeting hall, Yunfei looked at Song Pingzi's back and said, "What plans does Master Zuo have for Manager Song?"
Zuo Yuchen, on the other hand, smiled and said nothing. There were some things that even a close friend would not tell him, let alone the commander of the Dark Palace who was always as considerate as him.
Yunfei didn't get the answer, which was not surprising. They were all old foxes. However, the secret realm this time was not discovered by the Dark Palace, but came from the instructions of Emperor Polang. Otherwise, how could he know so much information so accurately.
With their own preparations and thoughts, Song Pingzi is about to embark on a different journey.
